Bean Teepee
- Packet of pole bean seeds
- Long stakes or bamboo
- Prepare an area of soil about six feet square.
- Arrange the stakes in a teepee shape, placing them in the ground six inches from the edge of the soil area and meeting in the middle overhead.
- Secure the tops of the stakes together with string.
- Soak the bean seeds overnight.
- Plant the seeds according to the packet directions around the base of the teepee on the outside.

Accused killer Jared Remy allegedly threw hot coffee and used a homosexual slur in a jailhouse scuffle that involved a man he called a child molester, according to a criminal complaint released Tuesday.
The criminal complaint alleges Remy, of Waltham, threw coffee in the face of Jemery Hodges, repeatedly struck him several times with a plastic chair and beat him with closed fists, according to Wicked Local news partner WCVB.
"I was watching TV and minding my own business when Remy threw hot coffee in my face. Remy started to attack me with a chair and punched me several times," Hodges told investigators. "I never had any words with Remy, and I don't know who he is."
Hodges said Remy called him a homosexual slur when he was punched.
"I did what I had to do. I got a child molester. I hit him (with) a chair and threw hot coffee on him," Remy said when questioned.
Remy will face nine charges when he's arraigned on April 24. The charges include eight felony counts of assault and battery with a dangerous weapon.
"There is a constellation of circumstances that may be at the bottom of this incident, and I expect to investigate the matter fully and prepare an adequate defense," defense attorney Edward Ryan said.
The documents also show Remy was attacked on March 31 in the Cambridge jail but chose not to press charges at the time, explaining, "I'd rather take a punch in the face every day ... earning respect [rather] than living in protective custody."
Remy has been held without bail since he was arrested Aug. 15, 2013, and charged with murdering his girlfriend, Jennifer Martel, at their Waltham home.

I'm writing a technical book, and I want to split my book up into about 3 to 6 very broad sections, each of which would have several chapters in it. Is there a standard name for these broad pieces that are bigger than a chapter? Unit? Part? Section?
Usually it's called a part. A section is typically a cohesive chunk within a chapter. Nobody would know what "unit" means.
But grab a handful of big-ish technical books to see what they call the chunks.
I don't see a big difference between "part" and "section". However, I would suggest something more descriptive than "Part One" or "Section 1". What do the chapters have in common? Why are the grouped together? It helps the reader if you could call them something like "Part One: Networking".
Generally for books, part works, but for a technical book, if each bit can be treated as a single lesson in the topic, then Unit works well.
If they are merely different parts of a whole, and are different sizes, I would stick to part.
What would they be called, besides "section" which seems perfectly fine?
I suggest deploying modernist systematization, especially if that would be considered egregious for your project. For example, you might model your book as a human body, with each 'part' or 'section', here termed 'organ', with the specific organ HEART or FOOT* correlating in some symbolically mystical fashion with the contents of the chapter.
*(Don't be afraid to cheat at your own weird game!)
Note that the body has been done explicitly (as part of the explicit structure) and secretly (on the part of the author) in literary fiction as well as nonfiction extensively.
Which should encourage any technical writer worried that this might be egregious.

Before you put your Christmas lights for the year... You may want to have some fun!!! Here is an idea!
If you have ever thought that good manners have sort of disappeared, you are not alone. I think that we all have wondered that at some point theses days. Teaching your kids good manners is not always easy, but I just heard that Chuck E. Cheese wants to help!!! I love this... They want to help you teach your kids good manners by offering them a little incentive, FREE TOKENS! Here is the Link, PLEASE check it out when you can!
Christmas is my favorite time of the year! I love the fact that there are so many people open to hearing of Christ's love.
There are so many things that make Christmas wonderful, like spending time with your family, the ample opportunity to love on others, and all the celebrating, Christmas parties at work, school, in the neighborhood, at church, in the community… they are everywhere!
For me, Christmas brings back such great memories. I remember the road trips to grandma's house, the cookies that my grandpa used to make, my favorite are those Russian Tea Cakes! I remember the thrill of picking out our Christmas tree, and decorating it as mom played Christmas carols on the piano, or the Carpenter's Christmas record, and of course I loved the presents. I think half the fun was trying to figure out what we were getting, one thing that was never a surprise, new underwear! (thanks Mom)
I loved being in the church Christmas play every year, I got to be Joseph a lot, that was fun, I am just glad that I was never a cow! I remember all the band and choir Christmas concerts, and the fun we had, and oh I remember when I was in high school, singing in the Madrigal singing group, I wasn't thrilled about having to wear tights though! Ewwwwwww!
As an adult, I have a whole bunch of new reasons to love Christmas. Christmas was the first time I kissed my wife. It is a blast surprising our kids with gifts under the tree, there was that one year though where we found out they peeked… we weren't happy! Watching all of their Christmas plays and concerts, and being the dad who pointed out, "that's my kid!" I can only hope that our kids will have as fond of memories as I did growing up!
I have lost both my parents now, sadly, both of them passed during the Holidays, which makes it especially hard. It makes me realize just how important it is to make the most of every moment that we are given. I hope that you have an amazing Christmas this year, may the Peace ushered in by the birth of Jesus be with you and your family, and may you soak in every moment!

I would like to determine topological properties of $\mathbb R^8$ minus the set determined by the equation $$ \mathrm{det}\begin{pmatrix} a-a' & b-b'\\ c-c' & d-d' \end{pmatrix}=0$$ where $a,a',b,b',c,c',d,d'\in\mathbb R$.
How do I determine the homotopy type and how many connected components this space has? If this does not turn out to be a standard space, I would also like to determine (co)homology groups.

While hundreds of thousands gathered on the Great Lawn last Saturday afternoon, DeSales High School pitcher Jarrett Luckett was bringing some thunder of his own to Preston Highway.
The senior lefty held No. 1 Male to just one run on six hits and struck out seven to give the Colts a shocking 3-1 victory over the host Bulldogs in the Earl Driskell Memorial Tournament.
"Jarrett was absolutely lights-out," said first-year DeSales coach John Hodges.
It was a gutsy performance from a player who only a year ago wasn't sure he would ever step foot on the mound again.
Last March, after a team fundraising activity at the Kentucky Exposition Center, Luckett jumped into the passenger seat of teammate Ryan Ritchey's 1996 Honda Civic and the two began the 15-minute trip to Luckett's home.
Just minutes later, Luckett looked up at the road after sending a text message and saw an ambulance (not on a run) attempting a left turn directly in their path.
"Everything was going through my mind at that point," he said. "I just tried to brace myself."
It was no use. Luckett and Ritchey were immediately thrust into a slow-motion nightmare as the Civic smashed into the side of the ambulance.
Ritchey and the ambulance driver walked away with no major injuries. Luckett was not so fortunate.
"Even when I was in shock I knew something was wrong," he recalled. "I took my seat belt off and got my right leg out. I went to pick my left leg up and half of it went and half of it stayed."
He had broken his femur. A week in the hospital was followed by a month on crutches and three more grueling months in physical therapy. Luckett didn't play a single inning his junior season.
The thought of never making it back to the field entered his head, but Luckett said "My parents and physical therapist, my coach and my teammates just kept me going. They just kept giving me confidence that I would come back."
And come back he has. This season, Luckett is 3-1 with two saves and has been an asset in relief for the Colts, who were 9-13 entering this week.
"We've been using him mainly as a closer because of his curveball," said Hodges. "All high school kids have a curveball, but Jarrett has a special curveball. It's a nasty breaker for a left-handed guy."
Luckett's play this season has earned him an offer from St. Catharine College and he is considering Spalding University as well.
Although he's now shed the limp he carried for most of the last year, the confidence and self-awareness Luckett gained from his recovery are here to stay.
"I'm not a quitter," he said. "It doesn't matter what it is, I won't quit until I finally get past what I need to get past."
Mercy and Ballard took home titles at the sixth-annual BraveHeart Girls Lacrosse Tournament on April 22.
The 12-team varsity tournament hosted by Sacred Heart was broken into two divisions.
In the Red Division final, Mercy got four goals from sophomore Rachel Beavin and edged Oldham County 6-5. Caroline Johnson netted two goals and senior goalie Amanda Brown charted 15 saves to lead Oldham.
Senior Hannah Maddox and junior Natalie Hendrix got two goals apiece and goalie Elizabeth Roberts made 14 saves as Ballard whipped Assumption 7-1 for the Blue Division title.
Track & Field
The 27th annual Eastern Relays will be held this Friday and Saturday (April 27 & 28) at the University of Louisville's Cardinal Park.
The meet will feature athletes from eight states and a host of outstanding locals, including Butler's Tretez Kinnaird (800) and Patrick Gregory (3200), Holy Cross' Jacob Thomson (3200, 1600), Ballard's Ronnie Baker (100, 400), Trinity's James Quick (200), and Cassidy and Kristen Hale of Manual. Runners' events are subject to change.
"I feel like this is the strongest field we've ever put together," said Eastern coach and meet organizer, Mike Horan.
Competition gets underway at 6 p.m. Friday and resumes at 9:30 a.m. Saturday.
Twelve Assumption seniors recently inked national letters-of-intent to play college athletics. The signees were Chelsea Bowles (volleyball, Tennessee-Martin), Morgan Foley (softball, Indianapolis), Phoenix Fowler (volleyball, Bellarmine), Katie George (volleyball, Louisville), Logan Higgins (soccer, Tennessee-Chattanooga), Spencer Kurtzahn (lacrosse, Otterbein), Elizabeth Lohr (cross-country/track, Centre), Taylor Long (volleyball, Jacksonville State), Caroline McCaslin (cross-country/track, Elon), Olivia Reibel (track, Bellarmine), Melanie Strothman (cross-country/track, Bellarmine) and Dallas Zimmerman (volleyball, Tennessee-Martin).

Sources: Mishnah Yadayim, Chullin 106a, Chagigah 18b, Shabbos 14b
There are, of course, two reasons to wash hands. One is physical cleanliness the other is for Taharah. I think physical cleanliness is understood. Hands need to be completely physically clean before washing them for Taharah.
Originally, DeOraisah, there was no specific Tumah of the hands. If something made a person Tamei then their whole body was Tamei. The Sanhedrin decreed that hands could become Tamei derabbanan under certain circumstances. The first such decrees came in the time of King Solomon and were expanded by the Sanhedrin over time. These decrees were made so that people should be careful about touching certain things such as Torah scrolls or other holy writings or Terumah. Later this was expanded even to touching Chullin (as a precaution for Terumah) so that today we need to wash before eating bread. Tumah of the hands also occurs if we touch certain parts of our body that are normally covered. It is possible that while a person sleeps this may happen or if a person is not paying attention this may happen so that we need to wash hands before doing certain things such as saying a berachah or praying or learning Torah. There is also an additional decree that water that touches hands that are Tamei can make other things Tamei. That is Tamei hands are Tamei in the second degree but water that touches them becomes Tamei derabbanan in the first degree. Today we only continue to do this as a takanah since everyone has a status of second degree Tumah out of doubt anyway.
For washing the hands to be effective in terms of Taharah it must be done in one of two ways. One way is to put your (physically clean) hands once into a valid mikvah at least up to the wrists. This can be done with both at once or with either hand first so long as the Tamei hand doesn't touch the Tahor hand in between. For example, if you dipped your right hand into the Mikvah, took it out and then touched it with the still Tamei left hand then the right hand would become Tamei again so it would have to be dipped again.
The other way is to pour water water from a vessel over them. The vessel has to be a complete unbroken vessel of at least a certain size. Each hand needs to be washed at least twice. Once to purify the hand and then a second time to purify the water on the hands (because of the decree that such water becomes Tamei). The first washing must be exactly up to the wrist. If it doesn't go up to the wrist it doesn't purify the hand. If the water from the first washing touches any part of the body above the wrist it makes the body (including the hand) Tamei again. If the Tahor hand is touched by a Tamei hand or by Tamei water then it becomes Tamei again.
To prevent these problems and make sure the hands are properly purified various customs and practices of hand washing were instituted. Some people also have the custom to wash even more than two times.
In practice today we wash before eating bread or upon waking up from a sleep of at least half an hour. One should also wash hands before learning Torah, praying or saying a berachah unless one has had his attention on his hands to make sure they have remained clean.
Maran writes (Shulhan Arukh 4:1) that one shall wash his hands in the morning and make the Berakha "Al Netilat Yadayim." The Rama writes (ibid.) that one that did not use the restroom recites the Berakha of "Asher Yasar" anyways. However, we do not follow this Pesaq, because Rabenu HaAri writes (Sha'ar HaKawanot pg. 2) that one does not make a Berakha if he did not use the restroom (and the Rashash also writes so). Maran continues (ibid.) that waters that are unusable for washing for a meal are permitted for Netilat Yadayim in the morning, however some one doesn't bless upon them.
The Halakha Berura brings down five opinions as to the reason one washes their hands in the morning (however the answer of the Ari HaQadosh is not written in Halakha Berura): Introduction- The Gemara writes (Berakhot 60b) that one makes the Berakha "Barukh Ata A-donai E-lohenu Melekh HaOlam Asher Qideshanu Miswotaw WeSiwanu Al Netilat Yadayim."
The answers:
There is an authoritative article at http://rabbikaganoff.com/archives/376.
Washing in the morning. Three times on alternate hands. To take away the "rouach ro'o" OC Siman 4 and especially seif 2.
Washing for davenning. It seems to need three times on alternate hands. OC 92 (4)
Washing for bread see question already answered: What is the source of netilat yadayim before eating bread? It can be done with one pouring on each hand (if using around at least 150 mls (Chazon Ish) of water each time) or with two.
For the custom in your community, CYLOR
MB 4 (2) [10] mentions the custom of washing 4 times to remove the "rouach ro'o".

All the visual explanations I know work in some kind of "If you are moving relative to something A, while inside A something is moving, the stuff in A has to move slower due time dilation and therefore the mass has to increase so the impact(and momentum) stays the same."
Since all moving objects and not only the ones inside of moving objects have their mass increased I have big trouble understanding why these kind of pictures should lead to any understanding.
Could I argue that if A was moving his whole point-of-view would be moving?
As if everything already would be inside of something moving?
This sounds very wrong and just raises more questions in my head.
You could simply determine who was moving if that would be true, so it isn't.
Or is it?
I don't know where my thoughts got messed up. Hopefully you do.

"The real-life experiences discussed by the facilitator and the open discussion among course participants provided a personal touch to the program. The materials are easy to follow and provide a great reference point for future review.
I would recommend the Train the Trainer program to anyone who is getting started in the training field and also to anyone who needs a refresher course. It provided a great foundation of knowledge that allows the participants to take it offline and choose where they need to expand their knowledge."

"Our program had several experienced trainers as well as brand-new trainers, and everyone was able to get something out of it that was going to help them in their workplace. I had initially thought that this was going to be three days of nonstop lectures, but our instructor trained by doing rather than telling and I got so much more out of it than I expected. I now have so many tools in my toolbox that I'm excited to get started on designing my next training."
Monica Horne
"After training new hires for more than a year with no previous training experience, this program taught me everything I need to know to effectively train adults. There were so many concepts and activities that helped me understand training as a whole and how to apply them to my future trainings. The Training Certificate program was amazing!"
Cassandra Bartley
"I had an amazing experience at my Training Certificate program! It gave me several examples of activities, best practices, and techniques. I learned so many new skills in the 3-day period! No matter how much we did in that program, I felt like we were only scratching the surface. I am positive that I could have spent a month there and not run out of interesting topics to talk about with my peers and instructor. I feel that this was one of the best investments I could have made. I would do it again in a heartbeat!"
Christine Biehl
"The biggest takeaway from the Training Certificate program was this: You can deliver content through learning activities. Lecture is not necessary at all times. I have countless new methods to apply to my training programs.
Not only was the content amazing, the facilitator was the best I have ever had the pleasure to work with. ASTD [now ATD] is the best in the business."
Jaime Sims
"I would recommend this program because it provides a wonderful framework for new trainers to use as they develop their skills. I would encourage leaders to send their team members who are new to the profession to this certificate program. I would also recommend it to anyone who has never had any formal education in the training profession itself. This certificate program provides valuable information that offers a broad base of useful and helpful information to those new to the profession.
I choose ASTD [now ATD] for my professional development needs because I have never been disappointed by a program offered by ASTD [now ATD]. The networking with others in my profession is invaluable! I have met numerous people who I keep in contact with today.
I was reenergized! I learned many new concepts and tactics and I am excited to apply them back on the job."
Dean Hendricks
I believe ASTD [now ATD] is the industry leader in training and development. I chose ASTD because I believed they would provide the best training to help me be more successful."

"I learned more in this class than I could write in here! The adult learning principles and styles were beyond powerful. It changed my whole perspective of effective training. I loved how Bloom's taxonomy was incorporated, as that is something that is heavily relied upon in my company. My favorite part was the demonstrations on the last day, during which you got an opportunity to put into practice all that you've learned.
ASTD [now ATD] is a recognized leader in the industry. I have heard nothing but positive comments from colleagues/friends regarding their experience with ASTD [now ATD]. ASTD [now ATD] falls directly in line with my career aspirations."

This question already has an answer here:
I have a large list of US equity tickers such as: "GIRO", "ITUB", "BITA" etc
and I would like to convert them into their corresponding RIC codes. Do you know how can I do it? I have access to Bloomberg and to Thomson EIKON...
Many thanks for your help!

Let p : Y -> X be an n-sheeted covering map, where X and Y are topological spaces. If X is compact, prove that Y is compact.
I realize that this seems like a very simple problem, but I want to stress the lack of assumptions on X and Y. For example, this is very easy to prove if we can assume that X and Y are metrizable, for sequential compactness is then equivalent to compactness and it is easy to lift sequential compactness from X to Y.
I asked three people in person this question and all of them immediately made the assumption that X and Y are metrizable, so I feel like I should put in this warning here that they are not.

On Thursday, March 7th, the Government, Military and Veterans Affairs Committee will hear LB 381. This bill would require citizens to show government issued identification in order to vote. Nebraskans for Civic Reform along with over 25 Nebraska organizations stand united (see list below) in opposition to legislation that would infringe on the fundamental right to vote.
Voter ID disproportionately impacts youth, seniors, low-income, and citizens with disabilities' right to vote. A valid ID is not only a driver's license that is unexpired, but also one that has the individual's current home address on it. For highly mobile populations such as students and low-income Nebraskans, this means purchasing a new ID each time they move. For people with disabilities and seniors, they often already have a difficult time getting around. Voter ID places a burden on these Nebraskans to go to a DMV to renew a license they may no longer use in order to exercise their fundamental right to vote. In addition, voter ID would also negatively impact rural Nebraskans whose DMV's are not open on a regular basis.
Voter ID only protects against voter impersonation, which both the introducer of the legislation and the Secretary of State have admitted is not a problem in Nebraska.
"This voting rights coalition of over twenty-five Nebraska organizations oppose LB 381 because it is costly, disproportionately impacts seniors, students, and people with low-incomes or disabilities, and is a solution to a non-existent problem that even the introducer has admitted there is no evidence of." stated Adam Morfeld, executive director of Nebraskans for Civic Reform.

STEUBENVILLE - As it has for the last four years, Homecoming weekend at Franciscan University of Steubenville kicked off Saturday morning with the annual Kelly Roggensack Memorial 5K Run/3K Walk. Despite a less than stellar weather report for the morning, the rains held off and the event was once again a huge success.
Don Bennette, who organized this year's event, said that if it was not for the TOR Sisters, the event might have turned out a little differently.
"In light of the TOR Sisters' prayers, the weather was great and the Sisters' prayers were a real blessing," Bennette said. "We were very thankful for that."

HOMECOMING?EVENT — Participants begin the annual Kelly Roggensack Memorial 5K Run/3K Walk during Homecoming weekend at Franciscan University of Steubenville.
About 200 people had preregistered for the race and Bennette said that they were still trying to get a tally of how many people registered upon arrival.
Being part of Homecoming weekend, there were a number of Franciscan alumni on campus for the event, both former cross country runners and otherwise.
"This event has become a great way to incorporate all of our alumni," FUS cross country head coach Dan Kuebler said, "allowing former runners to see everyone again and run together again, and also just alumni of the university in general.
This year's event had the most participants in its short history, and for the first time had a kids 1K "Fun Run."
"Everything went much smoother than it has in year's past," Kuebler said. "Don Bennette has done an excellent job (organizing the event). The kid's race before hand really made it more family-friendly, and they still did a great job making sure that the race featured Kelly and kept her spirit alive."
Kuebler, Bennette, and the rest of the organizational team got plenty of help from many volunteers, including current FUS cross country runners. Kuebler noted how great it was to see members of his team volunteering their time to help the spirit of Roggensack live on.
"A lot of them gave a lot of their time and got up really early on a very cold morning to make this event successful," Kuebler said. "It gives continuity from year to year, and it's a really nice event for (current and former cross country runners) to be a part of. A lot of the runners never met Kelly, but they get to hear about her and her spirit lives on through them as they get the opportunity to help out with this event."
Bennette said that although the number of participants has grown every year, the number of participants does not matter.
"It is a memorial race for Kelly," Bennette said. "It has grown every year, so something has happened, but that is not the purpose."
When asked if he thought the event would continue to get bigger, Bennette had a simple answer: "That is up to the Lord."
Women's volleyball wins
The Lady Barons beat Chatham University Cougars in four games Saturday as they hosted their Dig Pink breast cancer awareness event. Along with earning their eighth win of the season, the event earned over $500 that will be split between the Side-Out Foundation and the T.E.A.R Fund.
Amy O'Keefe led the way with 40 assists.
"We're flipping our offense a little," FUS head coach Kelly Herrmann said. "Even so, today was a great day offensively and Amy was a big part of that."
Anna Cain had 16 kills, two assists, and two solo blocks.
"Anna had a real strong performance," noted Herrmann. "This is the one weekend that her family comes every year. She loves playing in front of her family."
Christina Lawrence had 12 kills and Dani Link nine. Sam Kelly and Lawrence each had 17 digs and Maria Prezzia had 10 digs.
"We can be pretty effective offensively, but defense is the strength of our team," said Herrmann.
Two-time breast cancer survivor Marlene Nese was the honorary coach of the Lady Barons during the game. Nese was proud of the Lady Barons winning performance, but also stressed how important the Dig Pink event is.
She reiterated the importance of awareness, but hoped that Franciscan's Dig Pink would help raise knowledge on prevention.
"You want the awareness; you want to get the word out about breast cancer. But," Nese said, "prevention [awareness] is how you create survivors," said Nese. "You have to catch the cancer early, if you can catch it in stage one, it is easier to cure."
Nese has a special love for FUS because it is where she met her husband John Nese ('60), who played basketball for legendary FUS basketball coach Henry "Hank" Kuzma from 1956-1960.
She talked about the relief that programs such as Dig Pink can bring to anyone struggling with breast cancer. Not only is cancer physically draining, but it also wears on the mind and soul. Programs such as these are designed to help relieve victims of the uneasiness that cancer can bring.
"It's a scary feeling because you don't know what the outcome is going to be," Nese said.
Faith played an important role in Nese's what made her victorious in her two different stints with breast cancer.
"You have to have faith in God that he is going to get you through, and no matter what, you need to smile and have a positive attitude," Nese said.
The two-time survivor tries to give back to future survivors by doing volunteer work at the Teramana Cancer Center and she also belongs to a support group to help women who have survived breast cancer.
The Lady Barons host Mt. Aloysuis College at 7 p.m. Wednesday.
Rugby earns victory
The Barons rugby team earned a 50-14 home win over Fairmont State University.
"It was definitely a forwards-orientated game," said rugby assistant coach Chris Courtnell. "Fairmont State has always had a big, physical team and we went into this game knowing it was going to be a grueling match. Our forwards stepped it up and matched their big hits with even bigger hits of our own. It took the wind out of their sails.
"Christopherson Cortes (Man of the Match) with his energy and his big tackles, running the ball and getting around the field - his energy was great to watch. It was the energy from him and the captains that got everyone fired up. Everyone was playing for everyone else, and that is what Franciscan rugby has always been about."
Cortes had two tries. Also tallying two scores were Adam Smyth and Eric Paskie. Rounding out the offense was James Kueber and Anthony Tatasciore each with one try.
Courtnell specifically mentioned the captains and how important their leadership and charisma was to a successful day on the pitch.
"The captains really stepped up and led the team from the front," Courtnell said. "Adam Smyth, Pat McClelland, and John Rall really kept the guys fired up."
There is an old rugby saying, according to Courtnell, which is: "the forwards decide who wins the game and the backs decide by how much." He said this was true in the match as both forwards and backs showed focus and determination.
"We dominated the scrums, we won our lineouts, when the ball was on the ground we rucked pretty efficiently, and that gave our backs plenty of space to do what they do," Courtnell said.
The Barons (3-1) play their final fall regular season game when they visit Slippery Rock University Saturday.
Men's soccer loses
HAMBURG, NY - The Barons dropped a 7-0 decision at Hilbert College Saturday.
"The first thirty minutes was all them," FUS head coach Ward Rogers said. "They pressured us and we turned the ball over, every turnover resulting in a goal."
FUS played much better in the second half.
"We started getting to the ball faster, our defenders marked their men closer, and we were able to hold the ball longer, which stopped their possession advantage," Rogers said. "I think what you need to say after this game is that it could have been a real psychological problem. When you're down six goals after only thirty minutes the game can really get out of hand, but our boys really pulled it together and only let one goal in the rest of the way. That's a testament to them, because it says they were able to pull it together and really play hard."
As the team looks forward to their next game Rogers said they will need to find a balance between defensive positioning and offensive attack.
The Barons will host La Roche College at 4 p.m. Tuesday.
Women get big win
HAMBURG, N.Y.- The FUS women's soccer team won its first Allegheny Mountain Collegiate Conference win of the season with a 5-1 win at Hilbert College Saturday.
"It was a really outstanding game from back to front as these girls really played well today and they definitely rose to the occasion," FUS head coach Johann Marin said.
Julia Cocozza, who recently returned to play from an injury, acquired her first goal of the season. Katie Roemer scored twice and Jordan Byrley and Calene Dougherty both added one.
"These are all players who have found themselves in goal scoring positions on countless occasions and have now managed to reap the rewards of their hard work," Marin said. "We were very effective as a team Hilbert had no real chances to break us down. We dominated the game with possession and we were able to just get into scoring position and finish."
Goalkeeper and captain Lauren Koath had a strong day in goal.
"Today the offense finished on our chances and our defense continued to play well," Marin said. "My offense took the pressure off of my defense by scoring goals."
The Lady Barons host LaRoche College at 2 p.m. Tuesday.

This question exists because it has historical significance, but it is not considered a good, on-topic question for this site, so please do not use it as evidence that you can ask similar questions here. This question and its answers are frozen and cannot be changed. More info: help center.
Your brain. Tools can be excellent force multipliers, but the most essential pen tester tool is a well tuned noggin that knows in depth the systems (both technological and human) it is attacking. The ability to think creatively about potential failure modes is indispensable.
I couldn't agree more with @spinkham's answer. That is the best answer.
To add to @ygjb's power tool list, on the web app side, these tools are excellent for extracting data
Powertools to help you exploit SQL injection vulnerabilities
Also, there are many commercial exploit kits, to name a few:
If you are referring to attack platforms that would be used for penetration testing, then you are probably best off looking into the following:
But those tools don't necessarily have everything you would want. You should also look at the Backtrack linux distribution, which is a VM or disc image that contains a large collection of security tools for many disciplines.
Aside from that, there are so many powerful tools and libraries written in it, Python deserves a mention too :)
Today while I was searching I saw this book : SecurityPowerTools, it covers many security tools and really has great explanations about them.I think it covers a huge side in my question.
Here is a previous answer of mine discribing a list of tools that I use for penteting web applications : http://security.stackexchange.com/a/13487/4508

WELLSBURG - Brooke Hills Playhouse received help from 11 volunteers from the Follansbee Plant of Koppers, seven volunteers with Dan Hukill Contracting of Wellsburg and five volunteers from the playhouse itself as part of the Koppers Cares! Day of Service on Oct. 27.
The volunteers teamed to make improvements to the playhouse, which is a pre-Civil War barn at Brooke Hills Park.
They replaced portions of the ramp leading to the theater in the upper half of the barn by reinforcing the deck with new plywood and putting in new handrails where needed. They also reinforced the balcony behind the stage with supporting timbers.

VOLUNTEER?EFFORT — Nate Weinstein, manager of Koppers' Follansbee plant, was among many volunteers from Koppers, Dan Hukill Contracting and Brooke Hills Playhouse who made repairs to the playhouse as part of Koppers Cares! Day of Service, a companywide project benefiting various non-profit organizations.
Nate Weinstein, manager of the Follansbee plant, said the project was part of a companywide effort in which plants chose a local nonprofit organization to assist.
"We had employees nominate nonprofits that might qualify, and then a management committee, along with hourly employee representatives, went through the applications completed by the nonprofits," he said.
Chris Knight, vice president of United Steelworkers Local 5-2971, said the union volunteers who participated in the day of service felt they owed it to the community.
"When we needed support, the people in the county stood behind us, so we wanted to give something back to the community," he said.
Nick Vallera, chair of the Local 5-2971 grievance committee, said, "We enjoy working together, whether it's on the job or for something like this. Chris and I even had our daughters helping out."
Weinstein said Dan Hukill Contracting got involved because the contractor "does as lot of work at our Follansbee plant, and I asked them to help me compile a list of items we'd need to complete the playhouse project, and then they offered to supply us with some volunteers."
Julie Barnhart, who is president of the Brooke County Arts Council as well as a Koppers employee, said the playhouse is grateful for the assistance.
"These are things that our board members could not do easily themselves," she added.
Other Koppers employees and family members who participating included Mark Alan, Darla Burns, Rich Butler, Sue Greathouse, USWA local 5-2971 President Todd Greathouse, Brian Lish, Tracy Macom and Rhiannnon Macom.
Volunteers from Dan Hukill Contracting included Kenny Henry, Rich Henry, Ron Henry, J.L. Huchison, Chuck Painter, Jermaine Wade, and Jason Weinstein.
Playhouse volunteers included Amy Balog, Chelsey Barnhart, Rob DeSantis and Diana Mendel.

I have a windows 7 64-bit machine in which I have installed VirtualBox and decided to install BackTrack. The installation finished fine, but when it asked me to "please remove installation media and close the tray (if any) then press ENTER" VirtualBox crashes.
I have tried going through the installation process twice but it has crashed both times.
Additional Info just in case: Host operating system: windows 7 64-bit 6GB of RAM, I5
SOLVED: As I said in the comment below I found out that the crash does not affects the install...just restart virtualbox and start backtrack. But I still don't know what is causing this.
