subspaces of incidence matrices
the incidence matrix of a digraph with n vertices and m unweighed
(directed) edges is an nxm matrix over {-1,0,1}. it's a representation
of the boundary operator for the graph and its kernel is the basis for
the space of (1) cycles. however, these basis elements may have some
edges 'flipped'.
in my application it's important to keep track of the cycles which are
oriented in the same way as in the original graph. seems obvious that
such cycles obey the 'sector' condition that their nonzero entries must
agree in sign.
however, the vectors returned by NullSpace[] are not invariant with
respect to permutations of columns of the incidence matrix. anyone
know if it's possible to determine at least the size of the subspace
spanned by such sector cycles or even how to manipulate the incidence
to get a basis for these special cycles directly?
as an example: let a graph on 4 vertices have incidence matrix D1 =
NullSpace[D1] returns {{1,1,0,1,1},{1,1,1,0,0}}
both of these cycles are sector cycles since each of their nonzero
entries have the same sign. however, interchanging the 1st and 3rd
columns of D1 gives D2 =
NullSpace[D2] returns {{-1,0,0,1,1},{1,1,1,0,0}}. if i had not known
about D1 this might lead me to believe (simplistically) that the
subspace of sector cycles is 1-dimensional, but in reality
{-1,0,0,1,1}+{1,1,1,0,0}={0,1,1,1,1} which is a sector cycle, so there
is no invariance in that sense.

Treasures of Irish Heritage, a free public event, will bring a
bit of the Emerald Isle to the Hudson Valley, February 19, 2012
from 1 to 5 pm.
Sponsored by Mount Saint Mary College's philosophy and religious
studies department and The Irish Heritage Festival of Orange
County, the program will be held on campus in Hudson Hall, 330
Powell Avenue, Newburgh.
Thomas Martin, associate professor of liberal arts and
humanities at Sullivan County Community College, will deliver the
keynote address, "The Vikings and the Celts in North America."
An expert in social and linguistic global affairs, Martin is
proficient in more than 12 languages. A former international
journalist, he lectured on American and European history at
National University of Ireland at Galway, from which he earned his
PhD in European history.
Mount Saint Mary College faculty members are among the workshop
James Finn Cotter, a professor of English who joined the Mount
in 1963, is a published author, poet and theatrical reviewer who
will speak on Irish-America and poetry.
Sr. Peggy Murphy, OP, a professor of religious studies who
teaches about world religions and Dominican spirituality, will
present on Celtic spirituality and the Irish influence in
Daniel Shea, an associate professor of English who teaches about
the Irish Renaissance, will focus on romance and rebellion in Irish
literature. During the Summer Undergraduate Research Experience
(SURE) at the Mount, Shea advised Laura Lamica, an English major
from New Windsor, N.Y., who compiled the first anthology of the
Irish literary revival. "A Documentary History of the Irish
Literary Revival: From the Land League to Independence" was
comprised entirely of primary source materials, according to James
Moran, assistant professor of biology and SURE program director,
September 22.
Maureen Morse, a first-generation Irish-American who has studied
at the Irish Language Institute in Westchester, will lead a
workshop on Irish language.

Officer Bra Sizes Revealed to Entire Police Dept.
(NEWSER) – Well, this is certainly more embarrassing than most clerical errors: The bra sizes and weight of several female police officers were recently revealed to many of their colleagues in the Detroit Police Department. The information was included on a spreadsheet related to the ordering of bulletproof vests that was emailed to the officers to let them know the vests were ready to be picked up, My Fox Detroit reports. Apparently no one noticed the extraneous information until the emails had already gone out, and some of the female officers are now filing grievances because they say they have been mocked by fellow officers. (If this sounds familiar, perhaps it's becausea very similar incident occurred in Indianapolis in 2011.)

Hello Kitty Wines ...to enjoy your day's, your time, your life ! View all Hello Kitty Wines
About Other ItalianLombardy, Emilia-Romagna, Umbria
LombardyHome of the fashion capital of Milan, Lombardy is not quite Italy's capital of wine. It is, however, home to a few wines worth noting. Most vineyards are far north, far south or far east. First, in the south, the sparkling wine Franciacorta – this sparkling wine is made in the methode champagnoise and the better wineries produce wine that can hold it's own in a quality bubbly line up. Lugana, a pleasant, white wine made from Trebbiano, comes from Lombardy as well. Lean reds from the Nebbiolo grape are made further up in the Valtelliana region, near the Alps.
Emilia-RomagnaThe region of Emilia-Romagna is better known for its food rather than wine. Most of the wine coming from this region is the red, slightly-fizzy Lambrusco. It's high in acid and best drunk young. The white coming out of the region is mostly Albana di Romagna. Made from the albana grape, it's typically dry and pleasant, although not found often.
UmbriaTalk about being in the center of things… the land-locked region of Umbria is smack dab in the middle of the country. The most familiar white wine of the region is Orvieto, named for the medieval Etruscan town. It's a Trebbiano-based wine with good fruit flavors and high acid. Originally a sweet wine, most Orvietos are now dry. Red wine from Umbria includes Torgiano and Montefalco - Torgiano made from the grapes of Chianti, while Montefalco uses the native sagrantino grape, making big and bold reds.
About Italy
A little ditty about Italy...This country has about as many wines as its had governments. With 20 different regions, hundreds of DOCs and even more indigenous varieties, the amount of wine made in Italy is mind-boggling. Most of the juice, however, remains in the country for thirsty Italians. Wine is food in Italy and its rare that a meal is consumed without a glass of vino. That said, it's not common to find many folks drinking wine without food either. In turn, it's a match, and a mighty good one at that. In fact, it's safe to say that Italian wine is a foodie wine – one that goes on the table for a myraid of meals.
For regions, the most popular are Tuscany (home of Chianti), Piedmont and the Tre-Venezie, which includes Veneto, Trentino Alto-Adige and Friuli. Other communes of note are in Southern Italy, and a few good wines are made elsewhere in the country. The islands of Sardinia and Sicily are members of the Italian winemaking community as well.

College Football Recap - Oct. 31
Monday, October 31, 2011
COLLEGE FOOTBALL RECAP - 10/31/11Here's a brief look at the highlights of week nine of the college football season, a week which saw six Top-25 teams defeated, including losses by a pair of previously undefeated top-eight teams. The rankings used in this recap are the BCS Standings from prior to the games.
THE THRILLER#6 Stanford 56, USC 48: Stanford had been routinely blowing out opponents - it had 10 straight wins by 25 or more points - but this time they had a thriller, needing three overtimes to outlast the proud Trojans, winning it when they recovered a USC fumble in the end zone.FIRST-TIME LOSERSGeorgia Tech 31, #5 Clemson 17: Tevin Washington runs for 176 yards - the most ever by a Georgia Tech quarterback - to lead the Yellow Jackets to the upset victory, handing Clemson its first blemish of the year.#9 Oklahoma 58, #8 Kansas State 17: Landry Jones throws for a school-record 505 yards and five touchdowns as the Sooners dismantle previously undefeated Kansas State.UPSET SPECIALSOhio State 33, #15 Wisconsin 29: Braxton Miller throws a 40-yard touchdown pass to Devin Smith with 20 seconds left to lift the Buckeyes to the upset victory of the Badgers - the second straight loss for Wisconsin.Missouri 38, #16 Texas A&M 31: James Franklin throws two touchdown passes, including the game-winner in overtime, and runs for two more scores to lead Missouri to a comeback victory over the Aggies.Iowa State 41, #20 Texas Tech 7: Iowa State shocks the Red Raiders, holding them without a touchdown pass for the first time in 69 games, as Texas Tech falls to earth one week after an impressive upset victory over Oklahoma.

The vast majority of bank ATMs around the world currently run on Windows XP. Come April 8, when Microsoft cuts off support for Windows XP, the vast majority of those bank ATMs will still be running XP. While there's some cause for concern, it's much too early to cut up your debit card. That said, Microsoft's hell-bent determination to kill off the operating system will encourage many banks to consider non-Windows solutions.
In January there was a rash of hand-wringing stories about the coming demise of Windows XP and how that would affect the many hundreds of thousands of ATMs -- somewhere between 80 percent and 95 percent of all ATMs, depending on what source you believe -- still running XP and being swapped out at a snail's pace. Lately I've seen more articles that raise red flags. For example, CNN Money says:
If banks fail to upgrade their ATMs to a newer version of Windows by April, customers might be at risk. If hackers discover new flaws in Windows XP, those bugs will go unaddressed, leaving attackers free to exploit them.
While true, it's also nothing new -- Windows zero days crop up all the time, as InfoWorld readers will readily attest. The confounding factor lies in the delivery mechanism: Bank ATMs by and large aren't out surfing the Internet, they aren't downloading questionable programs, and they don't have unprotected connections to exposed networks. Their isolation doesn't mean they're impenetrable -- just look at the clever way Stuxnet propagated. But as Larry Seltzer described in his ZDNet article last month, bank ATMs are locked down and bunkered. Pwning an ATM isn't as simple as handing out infected USB drives and waiting, swiping a specially crafted credit card, or tapping the right key combination on the number pad. At least it shouldn't be -- whether the ATM is running XP or not, whether XP is patched or not.
Yes, ATMs certainly can be hacked with malware, as demonstrated remarkably (and anonymously) at the Chaos Communications 30c3 conference late last year. The crackers in that case managed to pry out the metal casing of the ATM itself, put a USB drive into a running ATM computer, and reboot it. There's much to be said for physical access, and why an ATM processor has a USB slot is anybody's guess.
The MIT Technology Review crack by Barnaby Jack three years ago relied on an open wireless connection direct to the ATM's processor -- Jack got the user name and password, logged on, and hacked the machine. XP was merely a minor inconvenience.
So why are banks sticking with XP with its demise so clearly imminent? Part of the problem can be attributed to the reluctance of bank executives to throw good money after old technology. Spending a few thousand bucks to swap out a 386-based XP box for a new i3 Windows 7 box doesn't result in much of an ROI, particularly when customers can't tell the difference. Windows XP customers everywhere can identify with that. But there's another force at work.
Credit/debit cards are in the middle of a massive transition. Everybody and their brother, it seems, testified before the U.S. Senate last month promising that swipe-and-sign credit cards -- currently the staple of ATM transactions -- will disappear by October 2015. In their stead, the whole industry will shift to embedded chip cards (called EMV cards, from the names of the three payment companies that created the standard: Europay, MasterCard, and Visa). Banks can swap out XP, but unless their machines can read and understand the new cards, the swapped-out machines will be dumb bricks by the end of next year. It makes a whole lotta sense to kill the two birds simultaneously.
Much of the developed world has moved on to EMV. The United States lags woefully behind.
The forced upgrade sword cuts both ways: By summarily ending support for XP, the banking industry has been backed into a corner and forced to look at new solutions -- which may or may not include Windows. While researching this story, I was surprised to see very little mention of Windows 8. Just about everyone in the ATM business, it seems, refers to the death of XP in terms of upgrading to Windows 7, not 8. That's not a good sign, because Windows 7 itself is well on its way to euthanasia -- and ATM people are keenly aware of its old age.
Linux pops up occasionally in discussions about ATM software, but its use is limited. Indian ATM manufacturer Vortex offers a low-power Linux based system called Ecoteller, for example, that's being used in developing countries. The 2013 ATM Software Trends and Analysis report from ATM Marketplace (sponsored by ATM software heavyweight KAL) expresses strangely little interest in moving to Linux. Where the survey asks organizations' opinions about the future direction of ATM operating systems, only 9 percent of respondents showed an interest in using a non-Microsoft operating system such as Linux.
Many banks are cutting deals with Microsoft to extend XP support beyond the cutoff date. Given the hunkered-down nature of the systems, it's likely banks are negotiating to pay less than the often-quoted $200 to $400 per machine per year for extended support. But there are still hundreds of thousands of machines out there that'll become a little more vulnerable next month.
If there were ever an industry ripe for disruption, this is it.

The term "hate crime" was coined in the 1980s by journalists and policy advocates who were attempting to describe a series of incidents directed at Jews, Asians and African-Americans. The Federal Bureau of Investigation defines hate crime (also known as bias crime) as "a criminal offense committed against a person, property, or society that is motivated, in whole or in part, by the offender's bias against a race, religion, disability, sexual orientation, or ethnicity/national origin."[1] Washington and Oregon were the first states to pass hate crime legislation in 1981; today, 49 states have hate crime statutes. States vary with regard to the groups protected under hate crime laws (e.g., religion, race or ethnicity, and sexual orientation), the range of crimes covered, and the penalty enhancements for offenders. Most states and large cities now have hate crime task forces coordinating across several levels of government and working with community organizations.

There are several types of treatments for UI:
The type of exercise, device, or medicine your doctor may recommend depends on whether you have stress, urgency, or mixed incontinence. Only your doctor can tell you which type of UI you have. The goal of your treatment may be to stop leaking urine completely or to reduce the amount of urgency or leaking.
Some research found that women who are very overweight were able to improve their UI symptoms by losing weight and exercising.

42 U.S. Code § 13942 - Confidentiality of communications between sexual assault or domestic violence victims and their counselors
§ 13942.
Confidentiality of communications between sexual assault or domestic violence victims and their counselors
(a) Study and development of model legislationThe Attorney General shall—
study and evaluate the manner in which the States have taken measures to protect the confidentiality of communications between sexual assault or domestic violence victims and their therapists or trained counselors;
(2) develop model legislation that will provide the maximum protection possible for the confidentiality of such communications, within any applicable constitutional limits, taking into account the following factors:
the danger that counseling programs for victims of sexual assault and domestic violence will be unable to achieve their goal of helping victims recover from the trauma associated with these crimes if there is no assurance that the records of the counseling sessions will be kept confidential;
consideration of the appropriateness of an absolute privilege for communications between victims of sexual assault or domestic violence and their therapists or trained counselors, in light of the likelihood that such an absolute privilege will provide the maximum guarantee of confidentiality but also in light of the possibility that such an absolute privilege may be held to violate the rights of criminal defendants under the Federal or State constitutions by denying them the opportunity to obtain exculpatory evidence and present it at trial; and
consideration of what limitations on the disclosure of confidential communications between victims of these crimes and their counselors, short of an absolute privilege, are most likely to ensure that the counseling programs will not be undermined, and specifically whether no such disclosure should be allowed unless, at a minimum, there has been a particularized showing by a criminal defendant of a compelling need for records of such communications, and adequate procedural safeguards are in place to prevent unnecessary or damaging disclosures; and
(b) Report and recommendationsNot later than the date that is 1 year after September 13, 1994, the Attorney General shall report to the Congress—
(c) Review of Federal evidentiary rules
The Judicial Conference of the United States shall evaluate and report to Congress its views on whether the Federal Rules of Evidence should be amended, and if so, how they should be amended, to guarantee that the confidentiality of communications between sexual assault victims and their therapists or trained counselors will be adequately protected in Federal court proceedings.
(Pub. L. 103–322, title IV, § 40153, Sept. 13, 1994, 108 Stat. 1921.)

text: The plantar fascia is a very thick band of tissue that covers the bones on the bottom of the foot. It extends from the heel to the bones of the ball of the foot and acts like a rubber band to create tension which maintains the arch of the foot. If the band is long it allows the arch of the foot to be low, which is most commonly known as having a flat foot. A short band of tissue causes a high arch. This fascia can become inflamed and painful in some people, making walking more difficult.

Tim and Tom busking in Hastings today
Tom and Tim are busking for local Hastings based charity, Surviving Christmas, in Priory Meadow Shopping Centre, Hastings, today (Christmas Eve) at 13:00.
They'll only be there for a short while so come along, give your support and help them raise as much money as possible to help vulnerable people and families in the Hastings & Rother area at Christmas.
Alison Freelander, Chair of Surviving Christmas, said: "Surviving Christmas is a charity local to Hastings & Rother run by, and for, the community to give assistance to those in need and hope for those in despair. We are seeing an increasing number of referrals which means the charity needs more volunteers throughout the year, along with food, clothing and monetary donations.
We're extremely grateful to Tim Rice-Oxley and Tom Chaplin from Keane for giving up their time so generously and helping to raise this very local charity's profile in this way. Also many thanks to Priory Meadow Shopping Centre, BB-Scene & Links Screens for providing the staging and advertising free of charge and to Ian Dobson for PA provision and sound checks."
Donations for Surviving Christmas are welcomed here.

Es un muy buen gesto por parte de keane. Llega la Navidad y todos estamos involucrados en esta rueda. Esta crisis puede influir en la felicidad individual y en consecuencia en la felicidad colectiva. Marisa.

From time to time it\'s time to talk together.
I thought that you might want to hear what happend within the last 4 months.
So I will give you the actual state of my work.
Since several months I focus completly on ZF2 development.
This means on the other hand that all new features and changes are instantly available for the next major release and must not be reworked.
When you want to follow me simply watch my github repository: https://github.com/thomasweidner
Actually I worked on fixing several small issues. Those are for example:
I added handling for floats within the Null filter. This has been missing in past.
Zend_Filter_Alnum/Alpha and EmailAdress had public variables. This has changed in favor of accessor methods to provide consistency to the other filters.
Now Zend_Translator can be used in phar libraries.
And auto-routing has been added. The users browser settings are used as routing information.
GreaterThan and LowerThan can now handle equal numbers.
IP can now handle hex, octal and binary noted IP adresses.
Behind the scene I am working on V2. It's a complete rewrite of all locale classes.
Those are just a few examples.
In sum there are more than 80 issues which have been worked on and fixed since april.
Still much work to do.
Feel free to contact me directly when you think that an issue is missing or should be done first or also when you want to me to write about something in detail in my blog.
For coding help please contact the mailing list.

How does Milton redefine the concept of a Homeric hero?
A Homeric hero: courageous, daring, angry, charming, strong, manly, passionate, commanding, skilled in oration, alluring.
This is Satan in Milton's masterful prequel, Paradise Lost. Although we watch the Devil's extraordinary fall from heaven into the pit of hell, Milton's brilliant writing draws readers in, tempting them to cheer for Satan. The poet gives the villain all the charming characteristics of a typical Homeric hero. Satan is a passionate and fiery leader, quick to speak, he takes action and grows angry, and is audacious in courage—a powerful lord in his own right. Yet he is also determined to "have equalled the most high," and it is this hallmark of pride which leads to his downfall (line 40). Milton paints a powerfully favorable picture of the Devil: "In shape and gesture proudly eminent stood like a tower; his form had yet not lost all her original brightness" (590-592). As the poem progresses, Milton calls into question our preconceived notion of a "hero" by drawing his readers in with Satan's winning courage, audacity, and leadership skills. As the reader, I had to continually remind myself that this was the bad guy, not the character I was supposed to root for.
Now skip forward to Paradise Regained, which takes place during Jesus' temptation. At first glance, this seems like an odd choice—wasn't paradise regained on the cross? At this point, Christ has not even started his ministry; in fact, Milton gives Christ some "musings" before he goes into the desert, in which he contemplates "how best the mighty work he might begin of savior to mankind, and which way first publish his godlike office now mature" (186-88). Christ has not yet started the business of saving souls. But Milton is suggesting here that the real battle is fought—and won—when Satan comes to tempt Christ during his forty days of fasting in the desert.
Think of it in terms of Star Wars. Luke Skywalker must defeat Darth Vader in battle before he can address his true enemy, Emperor Palpatine. Yet while he is dueling physically with Vader, he is also fighting mentally with Palpatine. As a result, when Luke defeats Vader—physically, mentally, and emotionally—the emperor is no longer a threat. Excuse my poor metaphor—I realize that there are many problems with this analogy. Yet I find it a striking image. Satan is the one who tempted mankind in the first place, and it was he who caused their downfall. If the same tactics were to cause Christ's downfall, God's plan of salvation would be futile. Instead, when Satan makes his attempt against Jesus, the Christ conquers, reciting Scripture as argument, and standing firm in God.
This makes Christ's forty days in the desert significant because they become the reversal of Paradise Lost. In the garden of Eden, Satan battles man and triumphs. In the desert, Satan battles Christ (both God and man), and loses. Thus, when Christ begins his ministry, he has already conquered the Devil himself.
In Paradise Regained, Christ's character stands in stark contrast to all of Satan's "Homeric hero" traits, and in one fell swoop, trumps them all. Christ's quiet character stamps upon the proud tilt of Satan's head. His rash passion is beaten down by Christ's steady faith, slow to anger and abiding in steadfast love. Proud ignorance is overcome by wisdom, more ancient than the stars, which beholds all things and makes plans before the foundations of the earth were laid. Satan's disobedience, hot and fierce, proud in nature and refusing to bow to the Creator, looks weak and powerless in the shadow of Christ's obedience, that clear spring of joy which Christ yields like a sword upon his foe. This unbreakable wall sends Satan reeling back to hell: "So struck with dread and anguish fell the fiend, and to his crew, that sat consulting, brought joyless triumphals of his hoped success, ruin, and desperation, and dismay, who durst so proudly tempt the Son of God" (576-580). In this "epic battle," Milton shows the uselessness of the qualities which Homer and Virgil valued so highly. True victory is not won with fire, anger, and disobedience, but with faith, Scripture, and obedience.
To answer the question, Milton re-defines the concept of a Homeric hero by setting up Christ's character as the ultimate hero, which opposes Satan, Achilleus, Odysseus, Aeneas, etc.
A new definition of a hero: brave, meek, obedient, loyal, patient, wise, slow to speak, slow to anger, abiding in steadfast love.

Changes coming to women's health care in Ohio
(Cleveland) - On Sunday, September 29, provisions in Governor Kasich's state budget that make changes to women's health care will take effect for residents across Ohio and throughout Northeast Ohio.
In response, today, State Representative Mike Foley, Cleveland Councilwoman Phyllis Cleveland and others are calling on women to speak out against the changes.
The provisions include defunding Planned Parenthood. Cleveland claims this will end life-saving, critical health care the organization provides provide to low income women, including cancer screenings, HIV tests, and birth control access.
Pepper Pike Councilwoman Jill Miller Zimon contends Kasich's budget implements medically unnecessary ultrasounds for some women, creates criminal punishments for doctors, and attempts to shutter women's health clinics across the state.
Mike Foley, Phyllis Cleveland, Sunny Simon & Jill Miller Zimon.
The new rules also restrict what health care professionals can tell rape victims about treatment options.
Backers of the changes are calling them the most pro-life legislation in state history. Ohio Right to Life President Mike Gonidakis maintains low-income pregnant women will now receive greater care and their unborn child will have a much greater opportunity to be born healthy.
Under the bill, abortion clinics must have a transfer agreement with a hospital, but they are prohibited from signing one with a public hospital.
The bill also requires a doctor to perform an external ultrasound prior to an abortion to search for a heartbeat, and if one is found, must inform the woman.
The doctor also must tell the woman the likelihood of the fetus surviving to a full term, and it redefines a fetus as "developing from the moment of conception," rather than when a fertilized egg has been implanted in the uterus.

Brevard, N.C. - The Brevard College women's basketball team was able to outlast the Anderson Trojans on Saturday 67-63. The Tornados rode a career performance by Micheala Watkins and hot three-point shooting to improve their record to 6-14 on the season and 2-8 in South Atlantic Conference play with the win over Anderson.
The Trojans struck first when Amanda Parris opened the scoring with a three-point bucket for Anderson. After falling behind 5-0, Brevard answered with a pair of three-balls to put them on-top 6-5 with 17:26 left in the first half. The game continued to go back-and-forth throughout much of the first half as the biggest lead by either team was five points throughout the entire half.
Heading into the final two minutes of the first half, Brevard was able to lead by two points until the Trojans took a two point lead off of a Kimberly Major layup with just 50 seconds left to make the score 37-35. The score remained that way as the first half buzzer sounded.
Micheala Watkins (Forest City, N.C.) led the Tornados with 16 points in the first half. She was 5-of-8 from the field and 3-for-5 from beyond the arc in the opening 20 minutes of play. She was also able to dish out four assists in the first half. Anna Schlobohm (Greensboro, N.C.) was 3-of-6 from the field with all of her shots coming from behind the three-point line. She ended the first half with nine points. Ashley Abed was the only player in double-digits for the Trojans. She ended the first half with 10 points.
The Tornados were able to strike first in the second half as Lindsay Brendle (High Point, N.C.) hit the first shot of the half off of a pass from Amanda Whitaker (Asheville, N.C.). Brendle's bucket nodded things up at 37-37. The Tornados and Trojans traded buckets the next few times down the floor until the 11:52 mark when Holli Flippo (Kingston Springs, Tenn.) tied up the game at 44 by hitting a pair of free-throws. Following Flippo's free ones, the Tornados went on a 13-5 run and were up by the largest margin by either team when they led 57-49 with 5:53 left on the clock.
The next time down the floor Alissa Diaz hit 1-of-2 free-throws to bring the Trojans deficit to seven but Brevard was able to respond when Micheala Watkins hit a running jumper to give Brevard a nine-point lead, 59-50 with 5:20 left. Despite some late baskets by the Trojans, the Tornados were able to hold off Anderson's final charge and took home their second South Atlantic Conference victory by a score of 67-63.
Watkins led all scorers by dropping a career-high 26 points on the Anderson Trojans. She finished the game 8-of-14 from the field and 5-for-7 from three-point land. Micheala was able to dish out five assists, pulled down five rebounds, and had three steals in the Tornados win. Anna Schlobohm scored 19 points in the BC win. She was 4-of-7 from beyond the arc and 6-of-14 from the field. Asheley Watkins (Bostic, N.C.) turned in a block and seven points, while Whitaker had a block, three steals, and three assists in the Tornado victory. Brevard shot 44.7% from the field going 21-of-47. They were even better from beyond the arc, shooting 50% on a 12-of-24 game.
The BC women are back in action on Wednesday February 2nd. The Tornados will travel to Carson-Newman College to take on the Eagles. The Tornados defeated Carson-Newman in their last meeting by a score of 81-68. Anna Schlobohm led the Tornados with 18 points while Holli Flippo and Amanda Whitaker each had six rebounds in the win over the Eagles. Tip-off is set for 6 p.m. at Holt Fieldhouse and all of the action can be caught on 1240-AM WSQL or at WSQLRadio.com.

Geek Girl: Zombies In Penguin Suits, The Cuddle Hormone, And An App for Secrets
Check out socks with capes, how to haunt your home and a T that gives you the news and more!
-Lucia Peters and PJ Gach
Zombie in a Penguin Suit
While I was at Comic Con last weekend, I sat in on a panel entitled "The Architects of Scare Season." In it, Saw 4 through 7 scribes Patrick Melton and Marcus Dunstan, along with fellow horror filmmaker Stephen Romano, chatted a lot about what scares people and why. They also had some advice for aspiring filmmakers and screenwriters trying to break into the business: If you're going to use an old trope, do something with it that's never been done before. For that reason, I think they'd appreciate this short film by Chris Russell entitled Zombie in a Penguin Suit. Now, zombies are old hat, but zombies in penguin suits? Now THAT's new. I could go on about its attempt to inject some humanity into the deathly grasp of the zombie and how strangely and beautifully melancholy the result is; but why on earth would I do that? Because it's a ZOMBIE. In a PENGUIN SUIT. And really, that's all you need to know. Enjoy!
Caped Socks Exist, and I Want Them
You guys. Caped socks exist. Socks with capes. CAPED SUPERHERO SOCKS. My brain just about exploded when I found them. But it's true: Your feet can become superheroes, and all they need to do is put on these nifty socks from 80s Tees. Of course, then, the question becomes, which superhero do your socks feel like being? Are they the Caped Crusader of Gotham City? Are they an Amazonian Princess with a Lasso of Truth? Or are they a seemingly mild-mannered reporter capable of leaping tall buildings in a single bound? Only they—or maybe you—can decide.
Interestingly, the Batman and Wonder Woman socks are both $15, but the Superman socks are only $10. Why the markdown for Superman? I'm not sure. Maybe it's because they were made on Krypton. I hear things are cheaper there.

Haunt Your House with Pepper's Ghost
You may not know what it's called, but I guarantee you that you've seen the Pepper's Ghost illusion at least once in your life (probably somewhere in a Disney park—the illusion is heavily used in both the Haunted Mansion and the Tower of Terror). It's been around since the Victorian era, and yes, it was invented by a guy named Pepper—John Pepper, to be exact. Pepper found that through the use of plate glass and some clever lighting, it's possible to make something resembling a ghost seemingly magically appear. Here's how it works. Take a look at this picture:
A person looking through the red rectangle sees this image as a ghost floating next to the table. The green rectangle, however, is what causes this to happen: you see, it's actually a large piece of glass or a half-silvered mirror. When the lighting is just right, the glass reflects the figure in the left hand corner, which is out of the viewer's line of sight, into the area visible to the viewer through the red rectangle. Ta-da! Instant ghost!
Have a Burning Secret? There's an App for Ahat
A billion years ago, 2004 to be precise, Frank Warren started an art project where he posted signs throughout the metro DC area asking people to send him their secrets. That begat the website: PostSecret.com. Since its inception, he's received over 500k secrets. Now you can download the app.
If someone's told you something really incendiary, but you have to keep your mouth shut, you can upload the secret to the site using the PostSecret app. The app has guidelines and a community. For the first time, users can reach out to posters to show support, let them know that their secret has touched them. Users of the app also have a roster of organizations they can reach out to, including suicide prevention hotlines and chat services if they need it.
The PostSecret App is now available for download on iTunes for $1.99. Android will be available later this year.
Frank Warren occasionally has a live event. View an excerpt of one of his shows:

My Hormones Made Me Do It
Who knew there was a hormone for cuddling? Next they'll tell me it's some hormone's fault that I cam currently craving apple pie. Wait, don't tell me. The hormone's name is Oxytocin. It's normally released when humans bond, but guess what, you can also buy a synthetic version over the counter.
For only $60, you can purchase a bottle filled with cuddly goodness. Well, goodness if you use it and cuddle. Kinda sounds like a legal version of E, doesn't it. Of course there's a website for that. And on the site they claim that their version of Oxytocin (I keep saying to myself Oxycontin- you know, "Hillbilly heroin"..um, that's somethingh else) can relieve stress, fights cancer, fights depression, autism and does windows. Okay, I added the windows thing.
I really doubt it's a panacea, but it could be a cool Halloween costume.

Brevard, N.C. - Efren D. Escobar scored on a header at 88:30 to tie the game at 1-1, lifting the Tornados to a tie against the Pfeiffer Falcons after both overtime periods went scoreless on Wednesday afternoon.
Falcons keeper Zach Liles deflected a Junior Montano free kick at 88:25, which Ryan Guill corralled and served to Escobar in the box for the game-tying header.
The two teams then played two scoreless ten-minute overtime periods to result in the tie, but not before Brevard made a serious push for the win. The Tornados put three shots on goal in the second overtime period.
Montano came close to clinching the win when his shot nicked the crossbar just over a minute into the second overtime. Marcelo Betcer chipped a shot on goal that was kicked away by a Pfeiffer defender at 102:34 before Liles came up with an acrobatic save on an Escobar shot at 105:48.
The game was scoreless until 73:08 when Niko Andrade gave the Falcons a 1-0 advantage on a penalty kick to the corner of the net. Jack Shaw made the start in goal as a part of the Tornados stingy defense, recordeding six saves .
Brevard outshot Pfeiffer 21-to-16, and put a total of seven shots on goal in the match.
The BC men return to South Atlantic Conference play as they host the Wingate Bulldogs on Saturday, September 29th at 4:30 p.m.

We have decided to not sell the current issue of Rolling Stone, out of respect for the victims and their loved ones.— CVS/pharmacy (@CVS_Extra) July 17, 2013
Thank you for sharing your thoughts with us. Walgreens will not be selling this issue of Rolling Stone magazine.— Walgreens (@Walgreens) July 17, 2013
(NEWSER) – Controversial might be too weak a word:Rolling Stone's latest cover star is accused Boston bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev. The decision to feature a glossy image of the alleged criminal on the front of millions of magazines has not gone down well with many, who have taken to Rolling Stone's Facebook page to protest by the thousands, reports Business Insider. A sampling of the more polite reactions:
- "Jeff Bauman, who lost both legs, should be on cover."
- "I am ending my subscription. ... Who's next, George Zimmerman?? Rolling Stone is a music magazine, not the Taliban Times. "
- "Can we get 1 million likes to have this issue pulled...!!!"
- "Wow, putting this guy on the cover of a pop culture magazine in a Jim Morrison pose? Way to perpetuate the notion that crimes on this level will garnish attention for sociopaths who are out to seek it. This is sickening..."

CHINO - After years of observing the Chino Valley Independent Fire District, West Covina Fire Chief Paul Segalla has been picked for the top position in the two-city agency.
Segalla will assume his new post on March 4.
"From my first exposure when I went there for a meeting and I met (Chief Paul Benson) at the time - and that was 4 1/2 years ago - he gave me a brief introduction to the district, who they were, and what they did and coming from a fire district past, I was intrigued by that," he said of the Chino Valley district.
Chino Valley Independent's board unanimously selected Segalla as its chief at its meeting Wednesday. The terms of Segalla's three-year contract include an annual salary of $188,328.
He replaces Fire Chief Kirk Summers who retired in October.
Segalla has an associate degree in fire science technology, a bachelor's degree in fire service management and a master's degree in public administration. He is a graduate of the National Fire Academy's Executive Fire Officer Program and has also completed High Performance Organization training from the University of Virginia, according to the news release.
Segalla has led the West Covina department since 2008. He has a long history in the fire service, beginning with work at several Illinois departments, according to a CVI Fire District release.
Hired as a firefighter for the Downers Grove, Ill., Fire Department in 1983, he then worked for Aurora, Ill., in the role of fire lieutenant while simultaneously serving as a captain for the fire department at nearby Berkeley.
He returned to the Downers Grove Fire Department as its deputy chief from 1994 to 2001 and became the fire chief of Lockport Township Fire District in 2002.
"The status quo is nothing I'm interested in. I'm definitely looking at some career growth, but I think the important thing here (at Chino Valley Fire District) is that growth is going to translate into what we can do to improve service to the community," said Segalla.
"And the other part is that I'm excited about growing with the department. I think there is a lot of possibilities for improvement and building relationships with the two cities and personnel."
The 51-year-old Rancho Cucamonga resident is an active member of various fire service organizations, including the International Association of Fire Chiefs, the California Fire Chiefs Association and other regional fire chief associations.
"His background, experience, education were truly factors that played into his appointment," said Sarah Evinger, CVI Fire District board president.
"The board felt he was an excellent fit for the department and could lead us in the years to come."
CVI Fire District hired Bob Murray and Associates to conduct a nationwide search for a new chief.
Of 49 candidates, the district chose six to interview.
"We had excellent talent before us, and we were fortunate to capture and exceptional candidate," Evinger said.
While Segalla said he's looking forward to creating new relationships in the Chino Valley, he will also be saying goodbye to a number he made over the five years he spent in West Covina.
"As an entire department we've had to persevere through some extremely difficult fiscal challenges like losing staff and using grant money to restore some of that," he said.
"And the economy hasn't come back strongly there so there is some continual fiscal challenges when staffing grants run out this fall and there is no real solid plan as how to confront that."
West Covina Fire Department has been struggling with an aging fleet of vehicles and is months away from having a $3 million federal grant expire.
Challenging the department recently is its aging fleet, causing it to have to borrow fire engines from the Los Angeles County and La Verne fire departments.
Segalla has plans to meet with West Covina's City Manager Chris Chung today to discuss his replacement.
"But nothing I would consider a plan," he said. "I think they're going to look at internal and external candidates."

Frilled Shark
Photograph by Awashima Marine Park, Getty Images
Humans rarely encounter frilled sharks, which prefer to remain in the oceans' depths, up to 5,000 feet (1,500 meters) below the surface. Considered living fossils, frilled sharks bear many physical characteristics of ancestors who swam the seas in the time of the dinosaurs. This 5.3-foot (1.6-meter) specimen was found in shallow water in Japan in 2007 and transferred to a marine park. It died hours after being caught.
Giant Spider Crab
Photograph by David Doubilet, National Geographic
Thought to be the largest arthropods on Earth, giant spider crabs spend their time foraging on the ocean floor up to a thousand feet (300 meters) deep. These rare, leggy behemoths, native to the waters off Japan, can measure up to 12 feet (3.7 meters) from claw tip to claw tip. This five-foot (1.5-meter) specimen was photographed in Japan's Sagami Bay.
Atlantic Wolffish Pair
Photograph by Jonathan Bird, SeaPics
The sinister-looking Atlantic wolffish makes its home in the rocky coastal depths up to 1,600 feet (500 meters) below. Reaching 5 feet (1.5 meters) long, wolffish have conspicuous dentition suited to a diet of hard-shelled mollusks, crabs, and sea urchins. This mated pair was found in a deep-sea den off the coast of Maine.
Fangtooth Fish

The nightmarish fangtooth is among the deepest-living fish ever discovered. The fish's normal habitat ranges as high as about 6,500 feet (2,000 meters), but it has been found swimming at icy, crushing depths near 16,500 feet (5,000 meters). Fangtooth fish reach only about six inches (16 centimeters) long, but their namesake teeth are the largest, proportionate to body size, of any fish.
Six-Gill Shark
Photograph by Paul Nicklen, National Geographic
Six-gill sharks, like this one off the coast of Vancouver, cruise the ocean floor during the day, sometimes as deep as 8,200 feet (2,500 meters), then move toward the surface at night to feed. They can reach impressive lengths of 16 feet (4.8 meters) on a diet of other sharks, rays, squids, crabs, and occasionally seals.
Giant Tube Worms
Photograph by Emory Kristof, National Geographic
Crushing pressure, freezing temperatures, and zero sunlight isn't enough of a challenge for giant tube worms. They've adapted to thrive at the edge of hydrothermal vents, which spew superheated water saturated with toxic chemicals. This colony was photographed 1.5 miles (2.4 kilometers) below the ocean's surface on the East Pacific Rise near the Galápagos Islands.
Vampire Squid
Photograph by Kim Reisenbichler, National Geographic
Vampire squid is an apt name for a creature that lurks in the lightless depths of the ocean. Comfortable at 10,000 feet (3,000 meters) below the surface, these diminutive cephalopods navigate the blackness with eyes that are proportionately the largest of any animal on Earth. The species gets its name from its dark, webbed arms, which it can draw over itself like a cloak. It occupies the mesopelagic and bathypelagic regions of temperate and tropical world oceans. The animal's physiology has adapted to enable it to live at the very low oxygen levels found within the oxygen minimum layers of these regions.
Pacific Viperfish
Photograph by David Wrobel, SeaPics
The Pacific viperfish has jagged, needlelike teeth so outsized it can't close its mouth. These deep-sea demons reach only about 8 inches (25 centimeters) long. They troll the depths up to 13,000 feet (4,400 meters) below, luring prey with bioluminescent photophores on their bellies.

An orthodontist's dream, an Atlantic wolffish displays the hardware it uses to crush mollusks, shellfish, and sea urchins. These tough-looking predators swim as deep as 2,000 feet (600 meters) and range from the Scandinavian coast to Cape Cod to the Mediterranean.

text: First of all thanks for development such nice tool. I'm running on backtrack 5 r3 kde 64. Latest updates for fern was done. It's working fine except of location option from tool box. When I insert bssid and press track, it shows tracking and only one field from bottom part of the screen is green - only mac address field. the rest is empty and no location info available as on your photo from the first page. What could happen?. I'm currently connected to the internet through my AP, and wanted to try this function. What I've done wrong>? Also I have a small advise about update your soft. It would be really nice to add one more function - automation ip and gateway search of the AP. I'm using internetprober for this purpose. If you want, you can check out this one from http://virjacode.com/projects/inp/

Morris praised Bush's Katrina address as "a female speech ... a caring speech"
Video ››› ››› JEREMY SCHULMAN
Loading the player reg...
From the September 15 edition of Hannity & Colmes:
ALAN COLMES (co-host): Joining us now with more reaction to President Bush's speech tonight, former Clinton adviser Dick Morris. Dick, I thought that he sounded like FDR [President Franklin Delano Roosevelt], and I thought he sounded like LBJ [President Lyndon Baines Johnson]. And any liberal could have given that speech tonight.
MORRIS: I thought he sounded like a compassionate conservative, something we heard about in 2000 and haven't seen.
COLMES: Doesn't that mean liberal?
MORRIS: I thought that this speech was as important and as good a speech as any since his address to the joint session of Congress after 9-11. It was a female speech. It was a caring speech. And, you know, George Bush basically believes the federal government should do two things, fight wars and help people recover from disasters. And now he's got both on his plate.
