In 1980, the Federal Government proposed a resolution to the Canadian Constitution. On September 15, 1980 the UBCIC, in reviewing the position of the Federal Government on Patriation of the Canadian Constitution, discovered that the Indian people would lose all of their aboriginal rights should this occur. At the 12th Annual General Assembly, the Chiefs passed a resolution that "the convention give full mandate to the UBCIC to take the necessary steps to ensure that Indian Governments; Indian Lands, Aboriginal Rights and Treaty Rights are entrenched in the Canadian Constitution" (October 14-17, 1980). The aboriginal people of BC decided to take action.
The Constitutional Express was designed in conjunction with other political and legal moves instituted to delay patriation and buy time for the Indian people in Canada to consolidate a strong position regarding the Government's proposition. The primary goals of the express were to keep the focus of both the national and international publics attention on the Constitution issue, to bring Indian people together in a united front against the assault on their rights and to prevent Trudeau's government from quietly passing the resolution.
Two trainloads of people made up of Band members and Chiefs, boarded trains which left Vancouver, British Columbia, on November 24, 1980 bound for the nations capital, Ottawa. The trains made stops along the way, picking up more passengers and making presentations to the communities and the media. Approximately 1000 people arrived in Ottawa to give speeches to the communities and lobby the government officials. A small delegation continued on to the United Nations in New York.
Raising consciousness on the national level was not sufficient. The Union, under the leadership of George Manuel sent the Constitutional Express to Europe. The Express visited the Netherlands, Germany, France, Belgium and England. The UBCIC brought the voices of the people in the communities throughout the country to the international arena and made it clear that the aboriginal people of Canada would not stand back and allow their rights to be infringed upon. The excellent organization, forethought and vision of the Constitutional Express not only raised the consciousness of the public but also brought back the pride of the aboriginal peoples and the strength which has always been needed to fight for the recognition, the survival and the promotion of our rights.
Section 35 of the Constitution Act, 1982 relates to the rights of Aboriginal Peoples of Canada. It states:
35. (1) The existing aboriginal and treaty rights of the aboriginal peoples of Canada are hereby recognized and affirmed.
(2) In this Act, "aboriginal peoples of Canada" includes Indian, Inuit and Metis peoples of Canada.
(3) For greater certainty, in subsection (1), "treaty rights" includes rights that now exist by way of land claims agreements or may be so acquired.
(4) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Act, the aboriginal and treaty rights referred to in subsection (1) are guaranteed equally to male and female persons.
35.1 The government of Canada and the provincial governments are committed to the principle that, before any amendment is made to Class 24 of section 91 of the "Constitution Act, 1867", to section 25 of this Act or to this Part,
(a) a constitutional conference that includes in its agenda an item relating to the proposed amendment, composed of the Prime Minister of Canada and the first ministers of the provinces, will be convened by the Prime Minister of Canada; and
(b) the Prime Minister of Canada will invite representatives of the aboriginal peoples of Canada to participate in discussions on that item.

Labor Party senator Trish Crossin says she wants to nominate for preselection despite the prime minister endorsing Olympian Nova Peris to replace her.
On Wednesday Senator Crossin called on the Australian Labor Party (ALP) national executive to include Northern Territory Labor members in the preselection process.
"If nominations are open following the national executive meeting today, I will nominate again for preselection," Senator Crossin said in a statement.
"I have no intention of running as an independent, under any circumstance," she said.
"I am a Labor person, born and bred."
On Tuesday Prime Minister Julia Gillard said she was making a "captain's pick" to choose Ms Peris, Australia's first Aboriginal Olympic gold medallist, as the number one candidate on the NT Senate ticket.
Due to the make-up of the NT population, it is virtually assured that the ALP's number one candidate will be elected to the Senate.
The prime minister's move has sparked anger in the NT, with some in the ALP saying Ms Gillard was showing contempt for local branch members.
Regional Australia Minister Simon Crean said people other than Ms Peris would be entitled to contest the NT's top senate spot.
"What this is doing is putting Nova in the race and signalling a very strong endorsement from the prime minister," Mr Crean said.

Just a quick post to say i knew all along that Fury was a better boxer then price.
Just a quick post to say i knew all along that Fury was a better boxer then price.
I'll keep in mind that you said that. It's a marathon not a sprint. David haye was beaten by a man also named Thompson that derailed his hype train and he came back strong. Time will tell who's better.
Fuck no-gi
I would of loved to see him fight Fury but that's totally off the cards now. I hope the lad does bounce back cant see him getting a world title before Fury though.
I'd still argue that Price has fought at a higher level.
Fair enough he got caught which can happen to anyone but Fury's chin has hardly looked sound at times, especially given the class he's been with.
Heard a lot of people running Price down, saying they knew he was no good but still feel come the end of their careers it will be Price who will have achieved far more.
Price is still a better boxer, that was a freak blow that blew his ear out, he didnt get chinned...
Fury has a long long way to go yet imho.

EVERETT — Wednesday's game between the Everett Silvertips and Spokane Chiefs came down to the finishing touch.
And as has been the case throughout the season, Everett's opponents had it while the Tips didn't. The Silvertips were unable to cash in on their chances, falling to the Chiefs 4-1 at Comcast Arena.
Brenden Kichton scored twice, including the tiebreaking goal with just 0.5 seconds remaining in the first period, as Spokane was able to find the net where the Tips couldn't.
"It's hard to be super critical, there were a lot of positive things," Everett interim coach Garry Davidson said. "But we don't get a lot accomplished on the offensive side. Even the last 10 minutes after we gave up the fourth goal, our guys didn't quit. They kept coming and we had some chances. But we just don't seem to be able to get that goal when we need it. They're just a much better offensive team than we are right now, which is what it boils down to.
"It's real hard to win a hockey game when you're scoring one goal," Davidson continued. "We probably had enough shots to score at least three goals, but that didn't happen."
Carter Proft and Todd Fiddler also scored for Spokane (37-24-2-0), which won its third straight. Garret Hughson played a strong game in goal for the Chiefs, making 25 saves.
Ryan Harrison scored the lone goal for Everett (22-36-1-4), which was unable to make any ground in the playoff race. The Tips, who welcome the league's top two teams (Edmonton and Portland) to Comcast Arena this weekend, remained in eighth place in the WHL's Western Conference, one point behind seventh-place Seattle and five ahead of ninth-place Prince George. Eight teams advance to the playoffs. Seattle and Prince George were idle Wednesday.
Austin Lotz finished with 25 saves in net for the Tips.
Everett matched Spokane scoring chance for scoring chance Wednesday, but the Tips couldn't match the Chiefs goal for goal. Everett was regularly able to work the puck into good position, but too often the final shot was either fanned, missed wide or went right at the goaltender. When the Tips did make Hughson work, he proved up to the task, making some good stops among his 25 saves.
"I think we played OK, I definitely think we could have played better," Kichton said. "Credit the Silvertips, they came out hard and took it to us in the first period. We just found our game, found our structure, were able to get some pucks to the net and get the goals. Overall, I honestly think they outplayed us tonight, but we got the victory and we're happy."
Spokane's ability to manufacture a goal made a decisive appearance in the final second of the first period. The score was tied 1-1 with Spokane on the power play. The Tips made a late clearance, and it looked as though the clock would run out on the Chiefs.
However, Spokane decided to make one last rush. Mitch Holmberg raced into the Everett zone and fired a shot that was saved by Lotz. Blake Gal found the rebound and put it out front. Kichton, pinching from his defensive position, banged it into the net just before time ran out. The goal gave the Chiefs a lead they wouldn't relinquish.
"That was a huge goal," Kichton said. "I saw the time and just went to the net. Fortunately Blake Gal heard me calling and pushed it out front, and I was able to whack it in. That was a huge goal going into the intermission and it gave our team a momentum booster."
The teams traded goals a minute apart late in the first period. Spokane struck first at 15:20 when Proft collected a wide shot and wrapped it around as Lotz was slow to recover. Then 59 seconds later the Tips tied it, Joshua Winquist pulling the puck out from a board battle and whipping it into the slot, where Harrison fired it into the top corner.
After Kichton scored to give the Chiefs the lead, Spokane began to assert itself in the second period. Although the Tips held out for most of the period, the Chiefs padded their lead with 1:49 remaining. Everett got stuck in its own zone, eventually allowing Fiddler to bang in a rebound to make it 3-1.
The Tips created chances in the third, but Spokane put it away at 7:28 as Kichton put a shot from the point in off the post.
Slap shots
Everett had two healthy scratches for the first time in a long time. Harrison, who didn't practice Tuesday because of illness, was able to play, meaning winger Lucas Grayson (lower body) and defenseman Ayrton Nikkel (finger) were the only players out injured. … Fiddler's goal was his 40th of the season.

Related stories: Discharged Marine convicted in toddler's death | Jury selection scheduled to begin for Marine charged in infant's death | Man held on suspicion of child's death
Joshua Kruzik, a discharged U.S. Marine, will serve 25 years to life in state prison for the death of a 19-month-old girl from Twentynine Palms.
Kruzik was sentenced Friday during an emotional hearing in Joshua Tree Superior Court, where family members of both the defendant and the toddler, Audrey Allen, were present.
"I had every intention to come screaming and yelling," Melissa Marnel, Audrey's mother, said through tears during her victim-impact statement." "I can't keep living with anger in my heart and hatred."
"I just want Josh to know that I have no anger or hatred," she said.
As Marnel spoke candidly, Kruzik, who was seated in the jury box wearing a green jumpsuit, put his head in his hands and cried.
"I chose to remember you two just playing together," Marnel said of Kruzik and her daughter. "That's all I have."
A jury found Kruzik guilty last year of second-degree murder and assault on a child causing death in the November 2010 death of Audrey.
Kruzik, now 23, had been staying with the baby's parents, Tim and Melissa Allen who were both Marines stationed in Twentynine Palms, authorities said.
Kruzik, a lance corporal in the Marines, was in Twentynine Palms for training. Tim and Melissa are no longer married to each other.
On Nov. 20, 2010, sheriff's deputies responded to the 6200 block of Daisy Avenue in Twentynine Palms where the baby was not breathing, authorities said. The San Bernardino County sheriff-coroner later determined the baby died because of blunt force trauma, authorities said.
Before he sentenced Kruzik, Judge Rod Cortez narrated the events leading up to Audrey's death.
Kruzik had agreed to babysit Audrey that night, Cortez said, then went out drinking with friends. Despite having multiple drinks, Kruzik still came over to watch the child.
While Tim and Melissa were gone, Audrey started crying and wouldn't stop, Cortez said. Kruzik struck her on the side of her head, "not once but four times" causing her to fall down after each blow.
Eventually the girl became unconscious and unresponsive and Kruzik tried to shock her awake by covering her airways, Cortez said. When she didn't respond, he put her back in her crib and fell asleep.
He did not call 9-1-1 and he did not call the girl's parents.
Tim and Melissa came home but did not discover Audrey until the next morning.
"This is a tragic case," Cortez said. "Mr. Kruzik didn't set out to kill, however the decisions he made throughout the day and night lead to her death."
"I don't believe you're a bad person, Mr. Kruzik ... but you failed Audrey," Cortez said. "Your actions and inactions took her life that night."
Kruzik was discharged from Marine duty and transferred to a civilian jail to face charges, according to authorities.
Defense attorney David Cohn said his client had prepared a statement to read to the family but Kruzik said he did not think he would be able to get through it without crying.
So Cohn spoke on his behalf, saying Kruzik was sincerely remorseful.
"He takes responsibility for what he did. He is going to have to live with that for the rest of his life," Cohn said. "He did love Audrey and the family. He still doesn't know what happened that day."

2008.115: An Improved Arc Algorithm for Detecting Definite Hermitian Pairs
2008.115: Chun-Hua Guo, Nicholas J. Higham and Françoise Tisseur (2009) An Improved Arc Algorithm for Detecting Definite Hermitian Pairs. SIAM Journal On Matrix Analysis and Applications., 31 (3). 1131- 1151. ISSN 1095-7162

A 25-year old and somewhat neglected algorithm of Crawford and Moon attempts to determine whether a given Hermitian matrix pair $(A,B)$ is definite by exploring the range of the function $f(x) = x^*(A+iB)x / | x^*(A+iB)x |$, which is a subset of the unit circle. We revisit the algorithm and show that with suitable modifications and careful attention to implementation details it provides a reliable and efficient means of testing definiteness. A clearer derivation of the basic algorithm is given that emphasizes an arc expansion viewpoint and makes no assumptions about the definiteness of the pair. Convergence of the algorithm is proved for all $(A,B$), definite or not. It is shown that proper handling of three details of the algorithm is crucial to the efficiency and reliability: how the midpoint of an arc is computed, whether shrinkage of an arc is permitted, and how directions of negative curvature are computed. For the latter, several variants of Cholesky factorization with complete pivoting are explored and the benefits of pivoting demonstrated. The overall cost of our improved algorithm is typically just a few Cholesky factorizations. Applications of the algorithm are described to testing the hyperbolicity of a Hermitian quadratic matrix polynomial, constructing conjugate gradient methods for sparse linear systems in saddle point form, and computing the Crawford number of the pair $(A,B)$ via a quasiconvex univariate minimization problem.

BREVARD, N.C.-John Slade drilled a two-run walk-off homer in the bottom of the 9th to give BC a 6-4 win in the opening game of a doubleheader with the Tusculum Pioneers at Gil Coan Field on Saturday afternoon. The Pioneers held off a late BC charge to take the nightcap 6-4.
Game 1: Brevard 6, Tusculum 4
Slade broke a 4-4 tie in the bottom of the 9th with a two-run homer to right field to win the game in walk-off fashion for the Tornados after Eric Renegar walked to start the inning.
Slade drove in four runs in the game, tying the game at 1-1 with a squeeze bunt in the 3rd and later at 3-3 in the 7th with a triple prior to the game-winner.
The Tornados had taken a 4-3 lead with two runs in the 7th on a sacrifice fly from Brock Helton following Slade's RBI triple. The Pioneers then tied it with a run in the 8th.
James Phillips (W, 1-1) recorded the final six outs for BC after entering for Dustin Haithcox with two runners on in the 8th. Kevin Hamilton started for Brevard, holding TC to three runs (one earned) over seven innings.
Game 2: Tusculum 6, Brevard 4
The Tornados played from behind in game two after the Pioneers got to Zac Joyce (L, 2-4) for six runs (three earned), knocking the righty from the game with no outs in the 2nd.
Kyle Pittman and Bennett Hixson held the Pioneers scoreless for the rest of the game but TC starter Christian Raasch (W, 5-3) escaped a late BC rally to hold on.
The Tornados made it a two-run game with three runs in the 6th before going down in order in the 7th.
Slade sparked the scoring in the 6th with a two-run shot to right before Kody Spencer delivered an RBI single to center. Slade finished with six RBI's on the afternoon, going 4-for-8 from the plate.
The Tornados started the string of four unanswered runs on Spencer's sac fly in the 2nd.
The Tornados look for the series win on Sunday afternoon in a rubber match with the Pioneers at Gil Coan Field at 1 p.m.

Densmore & Krieger reconcile, working on Manzarek tribute
Listen to The Doors on iHeartRadio
The Doors guitarist Robby Krieger says he and drummer John Densmore are "back on track."
The rocker tells "The Hollywood Reporter" he's glad they've finally reconciled their differences and are once again on good terms, although it's "too bad" it took the death of keyboardist Ray Manzarek for it to happen. But Krieger says they'll be honoring Ray with a special event this summer. He explains that they "want to bring together those who Ray either idolized or guys who idolized Ray" to join him, Densmore, and Manzarek's family for a tribute show in Los Angeles.
Robby adds that there's "a lot of interest" in the event, because "there are so many musicians and fans who have learned so much" from Ray. But he admits it's been a challenge to find a summer date when everyone who wants to be involved is available.
Krieger says they've enlisted Live Nation to help organize the special show, because they "want it to be the best it can be."
Ray died last May following a lengthy cancer battle. He was 74.

The Spring Green #9: Seventh Generation New Disinfecting Cleaners Review and Giveaway (Ends 4/6) CLOSED
Tuesday, March 23, 2010 Posted by Dina N
Most of you have probably come across something from their complete line of non-toxic household products. Seventh Generation just added three new disinfecting products:
The disinfectants are the first EPA-registered line of cleaners to kill 99.99 percent of germs naturally (including Influenza A and H1N1) using thymol, a component of thyme oil derived from the herb thyme. These new disinfectants are the perfect example of eco-friendly spring cleaning tools - and I am excited to feature them in The Spring Green Event.
The Disinfecting Wipes come in a 70-count canister and are great for a quick clean up while disinfecting and controlling odors. Since the disinfectant is made from botanically pure plant extracts, the wipes can be used safely to clean toys, changing tables, and toilet seats. I hope the company starts selling a travel pack that would be perfect to have in the car or diaper bag for all those times that my kids need to use a public restroom, a restaurant high chair, or sit in a shopping cart at the grocery store in the middle of flu season.
The Disinfecting Bathroom Cleaner comes in a spray bottle that dispenses it as a foam. It stuck to tile and vertical surfaces better than liquid cleaners, and worked very well in my bathroom. For disinfecting, you can leave it air dry - per the manufacturer's directions, test in a small area first. The scent is Lemongrass & Thyme, a nice fresh fragrance without the chemical fumes of some traditional cleaners I've tried.
I used the Disinfecting Multi-Surface Cleaner on my kitchen counters and appliances. It's very easy to use -just spray and wipe. Just as the other two products in the disinfecting line, it will not harm hard nonporous surfaces. It worked very well, and left my kitchen sparkling clean and smelling fresh.
One thing I would have liked for both cleaners is a see-through bottle (or maybe a see-through side) so that I could see how much is left. So far, it seems to me that the multi-surface cleaner will last awhile.
The reusable shopping tote is roomy and well made - the perfect bag for your grocery shopping, trips to the library, and more! I keep a dozen or so eco-friendly bags in my car - always prepared for a quick stop at the store or market.
Finally, I have to tell you that the Seventh Generation jumbo roll of paper towels is not your average roll! It is made from 100% recycled paper, with a minimum of 90% post-consumer materials. I do not use paper towels if a dish rag will do but if I had to, I would not look any further. All that recycling I do every day put to good use! So glad that Seventh Generation are saving cardboard, office waste, and other paper materials from going into a landfill. What's more - the jumbo paper roll is not white but has the natural color that comes from the mix of colors in the recycled paper. I do not need paper towels to be white. Do you?
The Giveaway
Now you can win the same set of Seventh Generation cleaners that I reviewed - plus the jumbo roll of paper towels and the reusable tote!
To enter, please visit Seventh Generation and comment below what product(s) interest you the most.
For extra entries, feel free to do any or all of the following:
- subscribe to the Seventh Generation newsletter and get 2 entries;
- follow me on twitter and tweet about this giveaway – you can do this once a day, feel free to copy and paste: "Win the Seventh Generation new disinfectant line! #giveaway ends 4/6 @SeventhGen @aitmama #win #eco http://tinyurl.com/ykt5cdb";

Fewer travelling over Thanksgiving
AAA forecasts 43.4 million Americans (13.6 percent of the population) will travel 50 miles or more from home during the Thanksgiving holiday weekend, a decrease of 1.5 percent compared to last year. The Thanksgiving holiday travel period is defined as Wednesday, November 27 to Sunday, Dec. 1.
The sluggish pace of the economic recovery is creating uncertainty in the minds of some consumers. Still, travel volume falls just shy of last Thanksgiving's four-year peak.
Here are some quick facts about Thanksgiving travel:
43.4 million – number of total travelers nationally during holiday period, a decrease of 1.5 percent compared to 2012.
7.1 million – number of Thanksgiving travelers in the Pacific Region (Washington, Oregon, California, Alaska and Hawaii), a decrease of 2.8 percent compared to 2012.
Busiest travel day – Wed., Nov 27 – 37 percent will leave that day.
Automobile travel remains dominant mode – 90 percent plan to go by car: 39 million will drive, a 1.6 percent decrease compared to 2012. In the Pacific Region, 86 percent plan to go by car with 6.1 million driving, a decrease of 3.3 percent.
Impact of gas prices on travel – AAA estimates that most drivers will pay the cheapest gas prices for the Thanksgiving holiday since 2010. But the decline is not expected to significantly spur travel volumes.
Air travel decreases – 3.1 million will fly nationally, a decrease of 3.7 percent. In the Pacific Region, 720,000 will take to the skies, a decrease of 5 percent from last year. Airfares are similar to last year.
Hotel rates hold steady, car rental rates increase
Average travel distance – 601 miles nationally, up from 588 last year. In the Pacific Region, average distance is 795 miles, down from 887 miles in 2012.
Median spending – down 6.6 percent to $465 nationally, compared to $498 a year ago. In the Pacific Region, it is $681, down from $767 last year.
Most important activities – spending time with family and friends, 67 percent; dining, 56 percent; shopping 44 percent.

[/quote] So is it illegal now, to say: "If you break into my home, I am going to kill you"? "If you try and take away my ability to defend myself, I am going to kill you"? Just curious. [/quote] That is not what he did and you know it. He wasn't warning people about being able to defend himself, he was threatening offence. Totally different. [/quote] Normally, I agree with you, friend. I like a lot of your posts, and consider you a good guy. But here, what I saw, was a guy who is REACTING to offense. I consider anyone who threatens the constitution and Bill of rights to be traitors, oath violators, and offenders. Personally, I wouldn't have done what this guy did. But for him to now have his rights taken away is outrageous. Warning people to leave his rights alone is not illegal, or immoral. There's an old saying... [b]"Those who are not willing to defend their freedom, do not deserve their freedom."[/b] [/quote] That is absolutely true. He was reacting and our freedoms are under attack. So far though, with very few exceptions, federal troops are not knocking down our doors to take our guns. When that happens, we should defend ourselves but that isn't happening yet. Maybe I'm wrong, but I didn't hear someone in defense mode. I heard someone who was about ready to open up a military level can of homicide. Here is another old saying. Loose lips sink ships. The people at the first Boston Tea Party in MA would never have gotten near that boat if they put up giant signs about it all across town first. It is also worth noting that the only thing they spilled that day was tea. The founding fathers boldly stood for their rights to freedom, but their warning to any attackers was just that, a warning. They didn't tell King George that they were going to come after him. They warned "Don't Tread On Me". Don't' come here to my house to take what is mine. He seemed to be saying he was not going to wait, but was going to strike first and it wasn't going to just be tea. As far as his rights being taken away, he still has the right to have his guns and in TN, you can have long guns with you without a permit so long as they are not loaded. I know. It's not as good as the U.S. second amendment but the TN state constitution says that "the people have the right to keep and bear arms, but that the legislature shall have the authority to regulate the wearing of arms with a view to prevent crime" and the state law requires a permit that is really easy to get. I don't like it, but it is what we have had to work with here for a long time and he would not have been issued a permit in the first place if he had been convicted of a felony or violent domestic crime. What he did is credibly self-flag himself as someone who might not qualify for that permit in the very near future. That guy trains people how to use their weapons for a living. That's all well and good, but it makes what he says about using those weapons credible. That also made his open threat a credible one. He should have known better than to levy that kind of offensive sounding threat on the World Wide Web. Maybe he meant to say he would be forced to kill people only in self-defense, but that isn't what he said and we aren't at war here. He didn't offer that qualification and TN revoked his permit because of it. Maybe if he can show that he did not intend to convey a first strike homicidal offense he will get his permit back, but I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for that to happen. I am the king of my little bitty castle and I will defend it. I will defend my right to keep and bear arms against whomever up to and including an unjust unconstitutional tyrannical government, but that is only going to be defense until some form of war is declared even unofficially and that hasn't happened yet and that is why he has lost his carry permit in TN.

Communicable diseases account for 60 to 80 percent of all outpatient visits and more than half of all deaths in Afghanistan. Controlling communicable diseases is one of the highest priorities for the Ministry of Public Health.
USAID supports the World Health Organization in the operation of a Disease Early Warning System (DEWS) to collect information on a weekly basis on 15 targeted communicable diseases. By monitoring sites in all 34 provinces, DEWS provides accurate and timely data on the outbreak of diseases and seasonal trends. Investigations result in quick action to mitigate disease outbreaks and prevent epidemics. DEWS also coordinates health surveillance in the field, disseminates public health information, and collaborates with the Global Polio Eradication Initiative and Expanded Program on Immunizations.
- Infectious Disease Surveillance: Selected health facilities operating in all 34 provinces of the country monitor fifteen priority infectious diseases and potential public health emergencies of international concern and report weekly to the Ministry of Public Health. This process strengthens the polio surveillance network in Afghanistan.
- Outbreak Investigations and Response: DEWS, in coordination with related stakeholders, investigates outbreak alerts received from health facilities or communities.
- Disease Control Coordination: DEWS holds disease control meetings in every province. The early warning system collaborates with programs at the national and provincial levels, to include cross-border coordination and notification on acute flaccid paralysis cases.
- Training: DEWS prepares staff and stakeholders on surveillance and outbreak response protocols.
- Logistical Support: Potentially infected specimens are collected in the field, then stored and transported at recommended temperatures for analysis at the Central Public Health Laboratory.
- Quality Control: DEWS has established internal standard operating procedures and external quality assurance measures for outbreak detection, for example, to deliver viral specimens to research facilities in Egypt and Pakistan for confirmation.
- Initiated expansion of DEWS from 424 health facilities to over 2,000 health facilities.
- Improved immunity levels nationwide: 84 percent of Afghans are living in areas free of the polio virus.
- More than 420 field monitoring sites since early 2015 are providing accurate weekly surveillance reports on 15 priority diseases on a timely basis.
- The National Surveillance Directorate compiled and analyzed100% of the weekly reports The Ministry of Public Health disseminated the reports to donor groups, UN agencies, various ministries, and non-governmental organizations working in health service delivery.
- Conducted 16 targeted immunization days at the national and local level, including areas known for high infection risk.
- As a result of this surveillance network, almost 99 percent of outbreak alerts are investigated within 48 hours of notification.
- Thanks to DEWS, diseases such as Q-fever and Crimean-Congo Hemorrhagic Fever were detected for the first time in Afghanistan, which allowed health workers to develop and distribute treatment and prevention guides for those and other infectious diseases.

We have an USB wireless adapter such as
down here
But this adapter can't hold antenna
What can we do?With which internal circuit can be connected an antenna?
and by this way we could then make an adapter with our hands like this down here?
Any good tip would be admirable!!!

Probably because they're concentrating on the tools and not the operating system. The O/S isn't hugely important as long as it is capable of running the tools (and is capable of being secured from an attack), and personally, I would prefer them to get the toolset right and correctly installed/integrated into the distro than to always chase the latest Linux release.
Having said that, I would hazard a guess that they're basing their O/S releases on the LTS versions of Ubuntu, and will probably be working on a 12.04 base for the next version.

NEW YORK — Macy's is launching its latest Parisian-inspired fashion brand, Maison Jules, atop a limited-edition bicycle — so to speak — in collaboration with Martone Cycling Company.
A custom Maison Jules X Martone bike will be on display alongside the collection in 151 Macy's stores beginning Aug. 1. The bicycle comes in an exclusive coral shade which forms part of the Maison Jules fall line color palette. Each of those 151 Maison Jules X Martone bikes will be up for grabs in a store-wide text-to-win contest. Customers can enter by texting a unique code for their store that they can find in the Maison Jules shop.
Macy's will also hold a style contest conducted via Instagram in September in which one grand prize winner will be awarded a trip to Paris, a Maison Jules X Martone bike and a Maison Jules wardrobe valued at $500.
"We are thrilled to collaborate with Maison Jules, and created a bike that became an accessory for this girl: fashionable but dynamic, bold but feminine," says Martone Cycling Company's founder, Lorenzo Martone. "We believe in individuality and that everyone has a creative vein, so we are looking forward to seeing the results of Macy's Instagram contest, and want to wish luck to all of the participants."
Maison Jules launches exclusively at Macy's Aug. 1. The brand will be available in Macy's Impulse departments and will feature a selection of tops, sweaters, dresses and trousers and pieces will range from $17.50 to $119.

Curiosity's Camera Project Manager Explains Why MSL Used "Archaic" 2 MP Cameras

Reasons included the amount of data produced, the fact that they had to meet the needs of different cameras, and the team's familiarity with these sensors
NASA recently accomplished a huge feat by landing its
Mars rover Curiosity
on the Red Planet, but one of the questions on the minds of many was why such a sophisticated machine used 2 MP cameras.
Mike Ravine, a project manager from Malin Space Science Systems, was happy to answer that in an interview with
Digital Photography Review
. He said the main reasons for using 2 MP sensors in the cameras were the amount of data produced, the fact that they had to meet the needs of different cameras, and the team's familiarity with these sensors.
"There's a popular belief that projects like this are going to be very advanced, but there are things that mitigate against that," said Ravine. "These designs were proposed in 2004, and you don't get to propose one specification then go off and develop something else. Two MP with 8 GB of flash didn't sound too bad in 2004. But it doesn't compare well to what you get in an iPhone today."
The amount of data produced is a large reason for using 2 MP cameras. There just isn't enough bandwidth for anything more powerful because the cameras must share with other instruments. Curiosity sends data back to Earth via the UHF transmitter, which transmits to two spacecraft orbiting Mars. The data is then sent back to Earth, and this system only allows for 250 megabits per day to be shared amongst various instruments.
The 2 MP camera sensors also were the tools of choice for the use of four different cameras, including the MAHLI, MARDI and two Mastcams. Having four different sensors for each camera would be expensive and more difficult to maintain rather than having one type of sensor all across the board.
The team's familiarity with the sensors was crucial, too. The team knew the behavior of Truesense imaging chips and Kodak's KAI-2020 chip, so it makes sense that they'd work with what they know.
"We know how to clock them and drive them," said Ravine. "They're a very easy CCD to drive."
Other issues, like the low pixel count, are not an issue either since the two Mastcams will create images from multiple exposures.
NASA rover Curiosity landed successfully on Mars
earlier this week after launching from Cape Canaveral, Florida on November 26, 2011. Curiosity is a one-ton, nuclear-powered, Mini Cooper-sized science laboratory that will explore the Martian surface for the next two years.

236 Livres is a lot of weight. The massive dumbbell has those numbers painted on the side, so it must be true.
Claiming to be the "Strongest Man in the World" and also going by "French Hercules", Pierre Gasnier was one of the true classic strongman performers. Today, we have very little information on Gasnier beyond the photos of him with his awesome stage dumbbell, but there is enough to inspire some great workouts and discussions around the dart board.
Leo Gaudreau has a nice three page section on Gasnier, in his "Anvils, Horseshoes and Cannons: The History of Strongmen Vol. II" and I have some additional material scattered about. Here is a little background. Gasnier was a touring strongman of great enough note to be part of the Barnum and Bailey Circus as early as 1898, with whom he did several multi-year tours. Having read about However, at just under 5'3" tall and with his weight varying from about 136 to possibly over 165 pounds, he may have been the strongest man in the world, at his bodyweight, but his actual claim is a little far fetched.
Strongman Pierre Gasnier's Stage Dumbbell
At Atomic Athletic I have been asked to make a number of really cool custom pieces, Gasnier's Strongman Dumbbell is not one of them. It is a complicated piece, ideally suited for Gasnier's body. Believe me that globe dumbbell looks like one of the coolest pieces of circus strength history I have ever seen, but it would be no more than a discussion piece in the best of gyms. It is also the very model of what a performance vaudeville stage dumbbell would be.
Gasnier's Strongman Dumbbell Facts
1. Handle Diameter: 2" and NOT Rotating
2. Hollow, Shot Loadable Cast Iron Heads
3. Unique Short Handle Length
4. 4 Foot Total Length
Essentially, this dumbbell had a handle design that would only allow it to be lifted by one hand, yet with the diameter combined with the weight, that would eliminate almost any strongman of the time. Earle Leiderman, who knew Gasnier, said, "He had an unusually LARGE head – a size fit for one who weighed well over two hundred pounds, and with such a head, it is natural that his photos make his arms, etc. look smaller." In fact, if you look at his photos, he also had extremely large looking hands, a necessity for lifting larger handled equipment.
As for the weight of the dumbbell. Hmmmm. As a young man, Gasnier's personal goal was to lift double bodyweight overhead with one hand, which may be the origin of the 236 Livres mark. 236 Livres is an older French measurement that is actually considered a demi-kilogram, or half kilo, which would be 1.1 pounds, for a total of 260 pounds. Sebastian Miller, the strongman from Munich, witnessed Gasnier's performance with the barbell/dumbbell in 1899 with Anspek and Cyclops, where he did lift it overhead with one hand. Miller also one-hand lifted it to his knees several times, as a test of the poundage and supposedly remarked, "Yes, this is heavy." However, both Gaudreau and Mike Drummond, writing in Strength Magazine (Sept. 1928), had strong suspicions that the dumbbell was unloaded when he performed for the above photo and probably on stage. Even empty, the cast iron heads, thick handle and other parts would have added up to some serious poundage.
Regardless of the suspicions of his detractors, Gasnier was an accomplished one arm lifter. Harvard's Professor Sargent wrote that Gasnier, "...lifting and placing at arm's length above the head, with one hand, a dumbbell, the largest and heaviest in the gymnasium, weighing over 200 pounds..." We do not know his technique, based on this description, but he was clearly a strong guy.
While your goals may not be as lofty as Gasnier's, I hope this article inspires you to choose a specialty lift as your challenge.
The links you see in this article are for training equipment and educational materials that should help you with your grip strength training and one hand lifting of both barbells and dumbbells.
All the best,
Roger LaPointe

A. There are a lot of things to keep track of when you prepare and submit these final forms. The court clerk will return your court forms without filing them if you leave out a required form or some information on a form, or it is not clear what you are asking for. Often the clerk will include an instruction sheet telling you what is needed before the forms can be accepted for filing. If you are not sure what needs to be done to solve the problem, talk to a lawyer or the family law facilitator or self-help center.
Sometimes the forms will be returned with a request that you schedule a court hearing. This usually means that you are asking for something that the judge needs more information about.
If the court requests that you schedule a hearing, contact a lawyer, family law facilitator, or self-help center. You may need to give notice of the hearing to your spouse or domestic partner. When you attend your hearing, be sure to bring anything the clerk's letter asks for, as well as your copies of all the forms you have prepared or received for your case.
A. The court will probably reject your Judgment (Form FL-180) if:
A. Separation or divorce is a legal process, but it is also a difficult emotional process. You and your family will surely feel the impact of the legal processes and the emotional issues.
Here are some suggestions:
A. There are a few things you should think about and take care of once your divorce is final.
A. Parents can make new agreements about the custody/visitation and support of their children at any time. You can do this on your own or with a lawyer or mediator's help.
You should file your agreement with the court. A lawyer can explain how to file your new agreement. You can use the Stipulation to Establish or Modify Child Support and Order (Form FL-350) to change your child support agreement. You can use the Stipulation and Order for Custody and/or Visitation of Children (Form FL-355) to change your child custody agreement.
If you and the other parent cannot agree but you still want a different order about your children, you can file a motion to go back to court for modification (change) of your current order. Talk to a lawyer or the family law facilitator before filing a motion for modification.
A. If your Judgment says only 1 of you will own a motor vehicle that you used to own together, fill out and file a Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) form, Notice of Transfer and Release of Liability (REG 138) , to change title to the motor vehicle. Make sure to keep a copy for your records.
A. It depends. In some cases, you can ask for a "bifurcation" of marital status. This means that the court makes a decision on ending your marriage or domestic partnership while other issues remain open and to be decided.
Courts do not generally like to encourage this because they want cases to be decided as a whole and completely resolved. Also, sometimes when spouses or domestic partners get the divorce, they do not have as much incentive to finish the rest of the case, so it can take longer. But if you have a really good reason for asking for a bifurcation, you may be able to get the divorce while the rest of the issues are still unresolved.
To ask for a bifurcation, you have to ask the court for a separate and earlier trial on the issue of ending your marriage or domestic partnership. So, for that reason, this request is called an "application for a separate trial."
You will need to file a Request for Order (Form FL-300) and attach a Request or Response to Request for Separate Trial (Form FL-315). You can use the Information Sheet for Request for Order (Form FL-300-INFO) for help filling out Form FL-300. And talk to a lawyer for advice on how to prepare your paperwork.

A. In some cases, a party in a divorce or legal separation case can ask for a separate and earlier trial on a particular issue in the divorce case. This means that the court makes a decision on that 1 issue while the other ones are still waiting to be resolved. This is usually done when there is a very important issue that needs to be decided and 1 or both parties cannot wait until the entire case gets decided.
Some issues that can be dealt with this way are:
Courts may allow separate trials because sometimes resolving this 1 issue can be the only thing that stands in the way of the rest of the case being decided. For example, the date 2 people separate can be very important because it can determine when property or debt stops belonging to both spouses or partners. Sometimes people argue about this date because it can mean whether a certain piece of property belongs to both of them or only to 1 of them. Having the judge make a decision about this date can settle that issue, and then the arguments about whether something belongs to both or to just 1 would be resolved.
If your spouse or domestic partner has filed a motion for a separate trial, you can file a response by filling out and filing a Responsive Declaration to Request for Order (Form FL-320) and attaching the Request or Response to Request for Separate Trial (Form FL-315).
Requesting a separate trial is not easy and you have to convince the judge that he or she should grant it. Talk to a lawyer for advice on how to prepare your paperwork. Click for help finding a lawyer.

Refused bathroom trip, girl pees on plane seat
(NEWSER) – Jennifer Devereaux's little girl had to go to the bathroom, but the flight attendant said no. Soon after, the 3-year-old went anyway—right there on the seat of the JetBlue plane, Reuters reports. "It wasn't about bad customer service ... it was about bad human decency," Devereaux says. It all started when the flight attendant said the girl, Summers, couldn't use the restroom while the plane was delayed and sitting on the tarmac in New York last Monday, CBS Boston reports. Summers started crying, but the attendant was unswayed. "She snapped at me, 'No sit down,'" says Devereaux.

Ala man dies after traffic crash in Fla Panhandle
Published: Saturday, February 2, 2013 at 11:36 p.m.
Last Modified: Saturday, February 2, 2013 at 11:36 p.m.
MILTON — Authorities say an Alabama man has died from injuries he suffered in a traffic crash in the Florida Panhandle.
The Florida Highway Patrol says David M. Kicker of Repton, Ala., was driving a Ford Explorer on a state road southeast of Jay when he failed to stop for a turning vehicle.
Troopers tell the Northwest Florida Daily News (http://bit.ly/UdTWV6 ) that Kicker's SUV rear-ended a car that then struck a third vehicle. Neither of the other drivers was injured in the accident Wednesday afternoon.
Kicker's vehicle went into a ditch and rolled over. He was not wearing a seat belt.
Authorities say Kicker was taken to a Pensacola hospital, where he died Thursday.

STAGE TUBE: Behind the Scenes of Pilobolus' UP: THE UMBRELLA PROJECT
This past Friday, October 19th, over three-hundred participants lit up the rainy night's sky as the internationally acclaimed dance company Pilobolus premiered UP: The Umbrella Project at the PopTech Conference. Watch a behind-the-scenes video below!
The result of Pilobolus's second collaboration with the MIT Distributed Robotics Laboratory (under the leadership of Professor Daniela Rus, Director of the Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory at MIT), UP is a large-scale, live performance piece that arms untrained participants with umbrellas fabricated with multi-colored LED lights.
Onlookers witnessed the stunning spectacle as more than 250 volunteers moved through Camden Harbor Park & Amphitheatre wielding these umbrellas (using more than one-thousand multi-colored LED lights and nearly fifty pounds of batteries). Via hand-controls fabricated by MIT, each participant manipulated the color of his/her own umbrella, creating an ever-changing landscape of hues - or pixels on a screen, as seen in the real time bird's eye view projection - as they moved through the space to create the piece. A second performance of UP is currently being planned for Spring 2013 in Boston.
"We've discovered that Daniela Rus is interested in the same questions as we are regarding the power of groups and the idea that groups are more capable than the sum of their parts," explained Itamar Kubovy, Executive Director of Pilobolus. "UP works to demonstrate this reality by giving a group of untrained strangers tricked out umbrellas and 60 minutes to create something beautiful and moving."
"We are so excited to work with Pilobolus on this project that brings cutting edge robots and computation together with people in an artistic expression. In our lab we are working on collaborative decision making for robots. The Umbrella Project allows us to explore our theories on collaboration in the context of crowds and to extract hypotheses for future approaches to robot control. Working on this with the Pilobolus team is a very enriching experience. We are excited and grateful for the opportunity!" explained Daniela Rus, Director of the Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory at MIT.
UP: The Umbrella Project was created by Robby Barnett, Matt Kent, and Itamar Kubovy in collaboration with the MIT Distributed Robotics Laboratory, Professor Daniela Rus, Director of the Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory at MIT, and MIT postdoctoral researchers Kyle Gilpin and Cagdas Onal.
Pilobolus is a modern performance company, founded in 1971, that to this day wears its revolutionary stripes on its sleeves. In keeping with its fundamentally collective creative process, Pilobolus Dance Theatre now curates and convenes groups of diverse artists- including the MIT Distributed Robotics Laboratory, Art Spiegelman, OK Go, Radiolab, and many others-to make inventive, athletic, witty, collaborative performance works on stage and screen using the human body as a medium for expression. Pilobolus makes art to build community. It teaches its group-based creative process to performers and non-dancers alike through popular, unique educational projects and programs. This collection of activities is called the Pilobolus Institute. Pilobolus also applies its method of creative invention to a wide range of movement services for film, advertising, publishing, commercial clients, and corporate events. This division is called Pilobolus Creative Services. The 2012 season marks Pilobolus's 42nd year. In keeping with the energy and spirit of its biological namesake-a phototropic fungus that thrives in farmyards-the company has continued to grow toward the light, expanding and refining its unique methods of collective creative production to assemble a repertoire of over 100 choreographic works. While it has become a stable and influential force in the world of dance, Pilobolus remains as protean as ever, looking forward to the next 40 years of collaborating on the future.

Related story: Cost cuts in Medicare raise ire
A two-year Medicare cost-cutting experiment in San Bernardino and other areas has been wildly successful, officials say, reducing the price of certain medical equipment by 42 percent and saving the government and taxpayers more than $200 million nationwide.
Those savings, however, have exacted a cost, say some local suppliers, forcing them to close their doors while rewarding large out-of-area companies that finance lower prices through bigger volume.
Medicare officials launched the new competitive bidding program in nine areas around the country, including parts of San Bernardino and Riverside counties, in 2010. Under the program, medical-supply firms for the first time had to bid for the right to continue selling certain pieces of equipment to Medicare recipients.
Before the program was introduced, beneficiaries could pick any supplier from which to purchase their equipment; Medicare used a fee schedule to reimburse suppliers. Officials say under the old fee schedule, for example, suppliers were allowed to bill Medicare an average of $2,080 for an oxygen concentrator. Competitive bidding has now made that average contract price $1,395.
Seniors, who pay about 20 percent of the cost, now pay about $279 instead of $416.
For 18 years, Esta Willman and her husband, Steve, ran Medi-Source Equipment and Supply Inc., a medical- supply firm in Yucca Valley. They sold medical devices to San Bernardino County seniors, about 65 percent of whom were Medicare patients.
Under the new program, the Willmans bid and won contracts from Medicare to sell oxygen and power wheelchairs. But almost exactly two years after securing the contracts, the Willmans have liquidated their assets and closed their doors. They said the two contracts were not enough to keep the lights on and the delivery trucks running.
"I'm leaving a community I've been in for 30 years, leaving a home I've been in for 24 and leaving a business I've been in for 18," said Esta Willman, who moved in November with her husband to Visalia to accept a job at a skilled-nursing facility.
"That's wonderfully ironic," said Michael Reinemer, a vice president for the American Association for Homecare. "If you win the bids and you still can't keep your doors open, what does that say about the program?"
Reinemer cited nearly 40 Southland medical-supply businesses that have been forced to close or sell since the program started.
The Willman family business is the "tip of the iceberg" nationwide, he said.
"We estimate that several hundred home-medical-equipment providers have gone out of the business of serving Medicare patients," he said. "This is not an overnight change but rather a slow-motion train wreck."
But Medicare remains convinced of the program's success and now plans to roll out a similar bidding process in 91 more areas across the country this year, including Los Angeles County. Much of California is included in the expansion. Medicare officials project savings of more than $42 billion nationwide - $17 billion of that for seniors themselves - over the next decade.
"You can't argue with a program that increases quality, guarantees access and reduces costs both for the taxpayers and for the beneficiaries," said David Sayen, regional administrator for the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, or CMS. "I can't think of an attribute that I would want to add to a health-reform strategy that isn't in this program."
CMS also notes that suppliers close their doors for a variety of reasons, "including an owner's retirement, a sale of the business, a merger, inability to compete with more efficient competitors, general economic conditions, referral agent preferences, and contracts with other government agencies," spokesman Jack Cheevers said.
The agency reports that 51 percent of contracts were awarded to small businesses. Industry groups say small businesses made up a much bigger piece of the original pie.
Yet, even if a business did close because it did not win enough contracts, some experts say this is a necessary part of curbing costs.
"Now, the people who are going to lose are potentially going to be small suppliers, sort of mom-and-pop shops, that really aren't that competitive," said Jeff McCombs, a USC health economist who worked on a competitive-bidding plan for the government in the late 1980s.
McCombs said it is not the government's job to keep small businesses afloat.
"Is there any reason why Medicare should continue to buy stuff from inefficient providers?" he said. "Is it like mom-and-pop stores have a constitutional right to exist based upon the federal government being stupid? No. The answer is no."
But boosters in San Bernardino, which declared bankruptcy on Aug. 1, worry that such closures will further the disintegration of the community.
"It's businesses that provide jobs, it's businesses that make the whole country run," said Judi Penman, the president and CEO of the San Bernardino Area Chamber of Commerce. "We need to provide jobs for people. You need those small businesses to survive so that they can provide jobs and increase the economy."
Medi-Source's Esta Willman worries that when businesses like hers go under, seniors will suffer. She served some of the same homebound elderly patients for years, people who needed wheelchairs tuned up and oxygen concentrators delivered. And even now, a few months after Medi-Source closed, Willman is still receiving voicemails from seniors wondering where to get hospital beds, wheelchairs and walkers.
She said her family business provided more than what comes in the box with the piece of equipment.
"We've seen oxygen drop-shipped FedEx to patients' homes," she said. "Now what happens when their equipment malfunctions, the power goes out, what happens in the middle of the night? Are they going to be within a one- to two-hour turnaround? I don't know how a company in Florida does that for a patient in California."
Willman said that, at its core, the issue is bigger than her business.
"It's this ripple effect that happens that affects our employees, that affects the tax base for our community, it affects the patients that we serve," Willman said. "Eventually, service to that community will be restricted."
Medicare's Sayen said that under the new scheme every service area will have at least five suppliers for any given piece of equipment.
Sayen said patient satisfaction has not declined under the program. CMS reports that in 2011, out of 2.3 million beneficiaries in the nine test areas, it received 151 complaint calls that could not be resolved by a call-center operator.
Opponents say that is a major underestimation.
Industry groups support a bipartisan bill that, if adopted by Congress, would replace the current bidding program. American Association for Homecare's Reinemer said the proposal would require bidders to put up money, binding them to the bids, unlike the current system where bidders can walk away if they change their minds. Reinemer said that the proposed alternative would save Medicare the same amount of money.
"We are proposing a solution," Reinemer said. "A better bidding system that saves the same number of dollars but without dismantling the nation's infrastructure for providing home-based care and medical equipment."
In 2010, The Sun partnered with the California Health Care Foundation Center for Health Reporting to begin a series of stories titled "I.E.: Medicare testing grounds" that examined Medicare's pilot program in San Bernardino and Riverside counties. This is a follow-up on the program.
The center, at the USC School for Communication and Journalism, is funded by the nonpartisan California HealthCare Foundation.

I'll post this one here but don't know it is actually fit 100% to this section or should be moved to BT 5 R1 issues / bugs. I'll let the mods to decide :)
There is another issue with hashcat but it doesn't point to mine actually(http://www.backtrack-linux.org/forum...hlight=hashcat)
Anyway, the newly discovered issue is related to the old problem regarding Nvidia-driver and BT5 R1 compatibility.
Trying to use hashcat for 64 bit architecture I've received the following error message:
./oclHashcat-plus64.bin: /usr/lib/libOpenCL.so.1: no version information available (required by ./oclHashcat-plus64.bin)
FATAL: Error inserting nvidia (/lib/modules/188.8.131.52/kernel/drivers/video/nvidia.ko): No such device
Usage: ./oclHashcat-plus64.bin [options]... hash|hashfile|hccapfile [dictionary|mask|directory]...
The points are:
1. I recompiled the nvidia driver from the nvidia web site against nouveau default one. For that I've used a very good procedure described in some thread over here. No errors, everything went ok.
2. At the finish I didn't performed xorg-config command because it mess all the X configuration instead to do something good.
3. Right now I have the new driver nvidia configured but as some of you already know / faced off the system still doesn't know "officially" about his existence and that's why tells that nvidia modules can't be found and so.
Bottom line, right now I'm unable to identify a way of solving this issue related to hashcat, unless something miraculous will be implemented about this messy problem with Nvidia cards.
Have ideas? Please, let me know :)

Brevard, N.C. - Samantha Winn led the Tornados with 23 points shooting 60% from the field, as the Tornados defeated Belmont Abbey, 56-51 despite a double double effort by Shayla Jackson with 20 points and 10 rebounds for the Crusaders.
The Tornados improve to 5-4 on the season, while the Crusaders fall to 3-3.
Brevard scored the first seven points of the game followed by a 12-0 Belmont Abbey run led by Jackson's eight points. The Tornados fought back to regain the lead with seven minutes left in the first and began a 17-5 run to end the half up on the Crusaders 34-22.
Brevard shot 50% from the field in the first including Winn's five for nine, 12 point effort, and Holli Flippo's three for four performance with 9 points.
The 14 point halftime lead would be the biggest Tornado lead of the night as Belmont Abbey battled back in the second half. With less than two minutes remaining, Asha Hardaway converted on a free throw to pull the Crusaders with in one for the first time since the first minute of the game. A Winn jumper then gave the Tornados a 52-49 cushion until Amanda McDonald converted two free throws once again pulling the Crusaders back with in one.
The Tornados finally sealed the victory when Brianna Worley sunk one from behind the arc and Flippo converted a free throw, giving her 10 on the night and giving Brevard the 56-51 win.
Brevard will return to action tomorrow when St. Andrews Presbyterian College travels to Boshamer Gymnasium for a 6:00 p.m. game.
In between games this evening, Belmont Abbey coach, Susan Yow, spoke about the efforts of the Kay Yow foundation. The foundation, carrying the name sake of her late sister and former NC State coach, works to raise money to benefit the fight against women's cancers. Brevard College is proud to announce that fans attending tonight's games donated over $400 dollars to the charity.
