RALEIGH, N.C. - Sophomore Thomas Awad broke a 36-year-old school record and won the 5,000 meters to highlight the Raleigh Relays for the University of Pennsylvania track and field teams this weekend.
On Friday night, Awad became just the second Quaker in school history to break the 14-minute mark in the 5,000 meters. Prior to that effort, Steve Sholtes was the only Penn athlete to do so with a time of 13:51.2 in 1978. For the better part of four decades, that record had never really been threatend until Awad surpassed it with a winning finish of 13:48.90.
Freshman Cleo Whiting also won her section of the 5,000 meters. She posted the seventh-best time in Penn history at 16:45.22. It is the best time for a Quaker since Leslie Kovach set the school record in 2011. In addition, Elyssa Gensib finished third in the event and her time of 16:51.99 was just outside the school's all-time top 10 list.
Also on Friday night, senior Kersie Jhabvala became the second woman in school history to break the 36-minute mark in the 10,000 meters. Her time of 35:34.24 placed her 12th among the 36 runners in the event, and more importantly, placed her second all-time at Penn behind Kovach's school standard of 34:51.93 set in 2011.
On Saturday, sophomore Serena Graf improved upon her second-place standing in the school record book with a career-best toss of 52.00 meters in the hammer. That placed her fifth overall at the meet and the only Quaker with a better mark was Catrina Chisholm's toss of 55.44 meters in 2004 .
Senior All-American and school record-holder Maalik Reynolds won the men's high jump with a leap of 2.18 meters, and sophomore Sam Mattis was second in the men's discus. Last week, Mattis set the school record and was the runner-up in North Carolina with another impressive toss of 57.81 meters.
Junior Nick Straughn won the college long jump with a leap of 13.85 meters, while sophomore Thomas Pitt won the college long jump at 7.01 meters and was third in the college high jump at 2.05 meters. Sophomore Ben Bowers was ninth in the men's 110-meter hurdles at 14.55.
Penn also placed two in the top five in the women's javelin. Kelsey Hay was fourth at 42.62 meters and Graf was fifth at 42.60 meters.
Next weekend, the Quakers are at Princeton's Sam Howell Invitational.

By now you may have figured out that I'm using the "Bible Movie of the Week" series as an excuse, or opportunity, to focus on some of the more obscure films out there, rather than the blockbusters that everyone knows and loves (most of which I have already written about at some length anyway). And so today I come to Slaves of Babylon (1953), a sort of adaptation of the Book of Daniel that I had barely even heard about until very recently.
In fact, I only bothered to go looking for this film a few weeks ago, after I had written a post about the Persian King Cyrus, who is celebrated in the Old Testament (Isaiah even calls him "the Lord's Messiah") for letting the Jews return to Jerusalem following their exile in Babylon. Cyrus might not be the most prominent of biblical figures, but he did play a significant role within the history of the Jewish people, and it seems a shame that there haven't been more than a couple of films about him.
Slaves of Babylon is one of those films. While it dramatizes some of the better-known stories from the Book of Daniel, it also revolves around a mostly made-up story in which Cyrus becomes king of Persia with help from one of Daniel's followers. I say "mostly made-up" because it seems the film's depiction of Cyrus's early life is derived in part from a legend passed down to us by the Greek historian Herodotus. So basically, Slaves of Babylon represents a pop-cultural attempt to bridge religious and secular history — and those are the kinds of films I find particularly interesting, whatever their aesthetic merits may or may not be. (Another example would be the 1985 mini-series A.D.: Anno Domini, which alternated between the Book of Acts and the lives of the Caesars, with a bit of Josephus thrown in for good measure.)

Anxiety in Children
Hello, once again, my name is Emily. I a mum of four. One of my four children is Alana, and she is 11 years old. Alana worries constantly. I have her seeing a therapist, but I was wondering if you had any ideas about how to help a child stop worrying--maybe some techniques or guidance on activities we could do to help ease her worry.
Thank you!
20th September 2012 07:22 PM #2
Hi Emily,
I am sorry to hear about your daughter worrying so much. Please can I ask if there is a common theme to the worries (e.g. friends or school) or if she just worries generally about many things?
Relaxation techniques can be used effectively by children even of this age to help them relax. There are many relaxation cds available to buy out there which will help children struggling with anxiety to practice controlled breathing and learn to let go of stresses.
I think you are right to look into how to help your daughter with this as worry and the subsequent stress can have a negative impact on even a young child's health. Regular exercise helps to relieve stress. Does Alana enjoy exercising and does she have favourite sports that she could do more frequently? If not, it may be a good idea to take up some more sports. This should also help her to increase her confidence and self-esteem levels.
Another idea I have is that studies have shown that owning a pet leads to decreased stress levels and actually increases the life of their owners. Does your daughter have a pet? Even owning a small animal such as a guinea pig can help a child to have some time-out from their worries and relax. It also gives them extra responsibility which many children flourish in. Of course, if you were considering this your daughter would have to be committed to caring for the pet.
I think it depends on the level of the worrying and the cause of the worrying as to whether you would take your daughter to a therapist at this stage. Here is a link to an article about What Causes Anxiety in Children from a resource which I have found useful in the past.
I hope this information is helpful for you.
Best wishes,

Hello Emily,
I've found that children who feel very secure in their environment and who have strong, healthy relationships with their parents and siblings tend to have worry less and be more confident in general.
It would really help if we could know more about the things that your daughter tends to worry about, but without knowing this I would encourage you to make her feel as secure as possible. This may mean spending more time with her and making her a part of most things that you do.
If you go on an errands, take her with you and ask her to help. If you're going to the grocery store, have her help pick out fruit with you. If you're going to the clothing store, have her help hold the clothes as you try them on.
Let her help make meals with you and/or bake cookies. Make it a fun "together" time as she becomes your little helper in most things.
Encourage her to shadow you. Let her know that it's okay, and you can even invite her to follow you throughout the house as you do chores. Of course you will have healthy boundaries, and you won't invite her into the bathroom if you need to use it, or into your bedroom when you go to bed. But the more you can do with her during the day that helps her to feel secure, the less she should worry.
If she worries about school or about grades, then you may want to consider a homeschooling option because this lends itself very well to increasing self esteem.
And it's super important that you make sure she's on a very clean, healthy diet. Make sure she is getting some deep green leafy vegetables in her diet every day. Green smoothies are loved by children, and if you make it with bananas, blueberries and leafy greens like spinach, kale or lettuce, she won't see the green color because the purple from the blueberries will be dominant. Also, when you use sweet fruits like bananas, the green taste isn't noticeable. If you notice the "greens" taste, then just add more sweet fruit.
Here's a video showing you how to make a Banana Blueberry Green Smoothie.
B Vitamins are also very helpful in regulating mood and brain activity, so it might be beneficial for your daughter to take a high quality multi-vitamin that has a lot of Bs in it.
Hope this helps, and please let us know how you're doing.
Warm Regards,

I had the same problem with the new backtrack 5 .... thanks for the post!!!! Works great.
I own a Logitech MX 5000 Wireless keyboard and mouse, and would like to use it in Backtrack 5 R1 (x64 - GNOME). It comes with a Bluetooth dongle EDR 2.0.
The strange thing is that it works in BIOS and Grub menu (I dual boot with Windows 7), but when Backtrack starts the keyboard and mouse stop working
Can anyone provide some tips on how to set it up? THX !!!
So here is how I solved my problem (once again..)... for some reason "embedded mode" isn't working in Ubuntu/Backtrack anymore so one has to create a connection by hand. For example:
But .. since I need this to happen every time Backtrack boots (without having to connect a wired keyboard) I created a small start-up script to do just this.Code:hciconfig hci0 up hidd --connect 00:07:61:9a:4d:6b # enter your mouse or keyboard MAC here
and create a script similar to thisCode:gedit /root/mysettings.sh
once done you need a start-up calling scriptCode:#! /bin/bash KEYBOARD_ADDR="00:07:61:9a:4d:6b" MOUSE_ADDR="00:07:61:a8:e7:78" hciconfig hci0 up hidd --connect ${KEYBOARD_ADDR} > /dev/null 2>&1 hidd --connect ${MOUSE_ADDR} > /dev/null 2>&1
and enter (note that this is not exactly a LSB friendly script..):Code:gedit /etc/init.d/mysetting
now you need to assign executable right to those scripts and add them to bootCode:#!/bin/sh /root/mysettings.sh & exit 0
now reboot to test if it works and hopefully you can enjoy your wireless mouse and keyboard on boot like me :PCode:chmod +x /etc/init.d/mysetting chmod +x /root/mysettings.sh update-rc.d mysetting defaults

Gallo brings A+ power to Class A ball
Hickory third baseman looks to build on strong rookie season
By Sam Dykstra / Special to MLB.com | April 6, 2013 6:00 AM ET
Only a handful of people on the planet can throw a baseball in excess of 95 mph, and during his time at Bishop Gorman High School in Las Vegas, Joey Gallo was one of them. He could use his 6-foot-5, 205-pound frame to fire the ball past helpless Nevada high schoolers if he wanted to, impressing any player, coach or scout nearby along the way.
There was just one issue. He didn't want to.
"I really just wanted to hit and play every day," he said. "I didn't have the passion to pitch every fifth day and wait it out the rest of the time. I loved hitting and playing the field, and that's something you're not going to do as regularly when you're a pitcher.
"I don't like to sit. I don't want to sit. I want to help the team win every day I can. It's as simple as that."
Then again, it's also easy to make that choice when you set a Nevada state record with 65 career home runs, 46 of which came in your final two seasons. Power's as good a fallback plan in baseball as anything.
It hasn't even been 10 months since the Rangers took Gallo as a power-hitting third baseman with the 39th pick in last year's Draft, but already it looks like the slugger made the right decision.
After foregoing a commitment to LSU and receiving a reported $2.25 million signing bonus with Texas, the then-18-year-old put up the most impressive rookie season of any 2012 Draft pick thus far.
Assigned to the Rookie-level Arizona League, it didn't take long for Gallo to get warmed up to his new surroundings. In just his ninth game in the Grand Canyon State, he went deep twice for his first multi-homer game as a professional slugger. (It was his fifth time that year, counting the four with Bishop Gorman.) Five days and four games later, he began an eight-game stretch that saw him go deep six times and drive in 12 runs.
It appeared he began to hit a wall in August -- understandable for a guy who had played an entire high-school schedule months earlier. The power remained though, even following a late-season promotion to Class A Short-Season Spokane. The left-handed hitter batted just .212 between the two stops but still managed eight home runs in 18 games, including a two-homer, seven-RBI performance in his fourth game with the Indians.
In total, Gallo's 18 blasts in the AZL broke a circuit record, and it was no surprise when he was named the league's Most Valuable Player. Combined with his senior-year totals, his 22 homers gave him 47 since the start of his baseball season.
Impressive numbers to be sure, but ones that also came against high-school and lower-level pitching as well. Still, Gallo, who will begin this year with Class A Hickory, insists he kept his focus away from the box score.
"It was more of a learning experience, really," he said. "Obviously, I had a good year numbers wise, but at the end of the day, that's all they are -- just numbers. For me, it was more about it being my first pro season, my first time living on my own and playing every day."
But where to go from there? For Gallo, he went home back to Vegas to train with Troy Tulowitzki and Jason Giambi at the Philippi Sports Institute -- just a rookie and two greats of the game.
"It was amazing working with them," said the Rangers' No. 9 prospect. "They taught me a lot, especially about how to get my body ready to prepare for a long season. I got to hit with them, and we got to talk about my swing a little bit. They said they liked it, and it's definitely pretty cool any time you can get All-Stars giving you compliments on your swing."
Despite his mighty chop at the dish, there remain other holes to be patched in the youngster's game. Given his hulking frame, some have contended that Gallo has more of a future at first base, though that wouldn't utilize the strength of his arm. As such, he knows he'll need to improve his footwork if he wants to stay at the hot corner.
There's also the issue of strikeouts. Gallo whiffed 78 times in 206 Minor League at-bats last year (once every 2.63 at-bats), a rate that could increase against the advanced pitching at the higher levels.
"The key for me is swinging at good pitches and not going after the ones out of the zone," he said. "I have a tendency to be overaggressive, so that's something I've tried to improve over time."
Maybe if he gets those kinks out of the way, Sally League pitchers will soon start suggesting he at least tries playing once every fifth day.

Talk about a depressing Monday morning in Los Angeles.
Angelenos woke to the news that the Lakers hired the wrong coach in the middle of the night. This is a Lakers hangover that might last for seasons.
With Phil Jackson at the ready, the Lakers had a chance to make right of this Mike Brown mess and bring Jackson back for a party that should've ended with singing in the downtown streets.
How in the name of Jackson's 11 championships did this get bungled?
The Lakers should have given Jackson what he wanted, including the money, some control, a break and more.
Instead, they went for the backup plan in hiring Mike D'Antoni.
The Lakers should have listened to their fans and Bryant, who went on a "We want Phil!" campaign.
According to Jackson, they gave him time to think about it and then pulled his high chair from underneath him.
On Saturday, Lakers vice president Jim Buss and general manager Mitch Kupchak met with Jackson at his house.
The 67-year-old allegedly was given time to ponder the end of retirement. Then Jackson learned, just before we did, that his high chair was pulled from beneath him.
The Hall of Famer didn't get the gig.
"I was awakened at midnight Sunday by a phone call from Mitch Kupchak," Jackson said in a statement. "He told me that the Lakers had signed Mike D'Antoni to a three-year agreement and that they felt he was the best coach for the team. The decision is of course theirs to make. I am gratified by the groundswell of support from the Laker fans who encouraged my return, and it is the principal reason why I considered the possibility."
Big-time coaches have big-time egos, and the Lakers' brass should have fed Jackson's ego.
Reports say he wanted too much, but you give him what he wants and more.
You give Kobe Bryant, Dwight Howard and Steve Nash the coach to complete the championship puzzle.
You don't give Jackson a couple of days to think about it, then call him to tell him his services aren't needed. That someone else can do it better.
But that's what happened. Kupchak released a statement that said Jerry Buss, Jim Buss and he all agreed that "Mike was the right person at this time to lead the Lakers forward."
They were blinded by the idea that they had to fit their players to a particular coaching style.
No, no, no.
Get the best coach who's available - Jackson - and let him figure out the Xs and Os.
Shocked is an understatement for everyone involved, D'Antoni supporters included.
"Everybody had expectations about it," said Pau Gasol, who won two championships with Jackson. "They were all pretty high. We understand what Phil brings to the table and how successful he's been here and what he means to the city and the franchise. It couldn't happen for whatever the reasons are. We move forward. That's what we do as professionals."
Sure, D'Antoni and Nash and Bryant and Gasol and Howard should get along just fine. They like Mike. Metta World Peace will even play defense for him. They'll probably have a nice regular season with D'Antoni's pick-and-roll offense that will suit Nash.
But this doesn't suit Lakers fans. D'Antoni has won no NBA championships.
Jackson knows how to win championships. Maybe he would have had to run a watered-down version of the triangle offense, but Jackson could've done it. Bryant, Gasol and World Peace already know it. Nash is a smart player.
Maybe the Zen Master wanted the world in return, and for one of the most successful coaches on the planet, you give him what he wants. A high chair, crazy money, a private jet, you name it. Championships don't come cheap. Ask the New York Yankees.
Lakers fans wanted Phil. What they got was second-best.
The Lakers hired the wrong guy.
That is, if they're still in the business of winning championships.

An Era Ends--San Antonio is Ending the Bookmobile
It truly is the end of an era.
The San Antonio Public Library is ending the Bookmobile, which has delivered books to schools and neighborhoods since the 1960s, 1200 WOAI news reports.
Assistant Director of Library Services Dale McNeill says several factors led to the decision to eliminate the Bookmobile, including the fact that far fewer people live a long distance from a library branch.
"We've built more libraries in a lot more neighborhoods in San Antonio," McNeill said.
He says the march of technology, from e-readers to e-books, has also helped fill the gap.
"Compared with years in the past, the usage was less," he said.
When the concept of the Bookmobile began, it was a welcome sight in rural areas, inner city neighborhoods, and other areas without a library branch.
Today is the last day to check out items from the Bookmobile, and the Bookmobile's last run will be made October 24th.
Funding for the Bookmobile is due to a cut in funding for the Public Library in the city's 2014 budget.
The bookmobile itself will be sold as a surplus vehicle by the City of San Antonio.

Michael Stipe Thrilled With Jay-Z's Use of R.E.M. Lyrics
"That's me in the corner.
That's me in the spotlight.
Losing my religion."
-- Jay-Z?
Jay-Z used lines from R.E.M.'s Losing My Religion on his song Heaven, which is featured on Jay-Z's new album Magna Carta Holy Grail.
How does R.E.M. feel about it?
Well, Michael Stipe says he is "thrilled" that Jay-Z used lyrics from one his most popular songs. Stipe tells NME:
"I've known Jay for a long time, he's super cool, super grounded, super smart and super talented. I've always had the deepest respect for him, and his music and choices. We're thrilled) to be included, it's a really great honor." R.E.M. isn't the only alternative roock band to have their lyrics appear on Jay-Z's new album. The first song on the album, Holy Grail, features lines from Nirvana's Smells Like Teen Spirit.

If the restrained person violates (disobeys) any of the orders in your restraining order, act right away.
1. Call the police
2. Gather proof of the violation of the restraining order
3. Get copies of your order and give key people a copy
Get copies of your restraining order and proof of service from the court clerk:
1. The police can arrest the restrained person
It is a crime to disobey the judge's orders. The restrained person can:
2. Talk to your district attorney ("DA")
Ask your local district attorney how he or she will handle your case. The DA may file criminal charges against the restrained person. You can always call the DA for information about a criminal case.
3. File a civil contempt action
You can file papers in court asking the judge to find the restrained person in "contempt of court" for violating the restraining orders. The restrained person could be punished with 5 days in jail for each violation of the restraining order.
If you have a restraining order from another state, that order is valid in California. Law enforcement must enforce it as long as it is a valid order.
If you want your out-of-state restraining order to be entered into California's restraining order computer system, you can register your order in California.

UNLV Libraries Author Series
Brought to you by the UNLV Libraries Center for Gaming Research
Presenting Rex J. Rowley, author of Everyday Las Vegas: Local Life in a Tourist Town.
In his book, Everyday Las Vegas: Local Life in a Tourist Town, Rex J. Rowley takes a close look at what life is like for locals in Sin City, a place the rest of the world sees as an exotic, even decadent vacation destination. Using interviews with more than one hundred local residents, Rex Rowley, a Las Vegas native, examines the routines of everyday life in a place that has long sold itself as the #1 escape from reality.
From a broader perspective, Everyday Las Vegas considers the ways people perceive a place as insiders or outsiders, a dichotomy that exists in any place where tourism plays a major part in the local economy. It offers insights into what Las Vegas can teach us about life in other cities and contributes to our understanding of how people relate to places and how the personality of a place influences the lives and attitudes of people who reside there.

All this talk of President Lyndon B. Johnson's War on Poverty has got me remembering Johnson's real legacy – the Vietnam War.

Britney Spears' sister tweets Justin Timberlake, drama ensues
Listen to Britney Spears on iHeartRadio | Listen to Justin Timberlake on iHeartRadio
(Yahoo!) - While Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake's relationship didn't have a happily ever after ending, one person in their inner circle still has fond memories of their time together.
Jamie Lynn Spears was clearly feeling reminiscent on Thursday night when she took to Twitter to send a message to her big sister's famous ex-boyfriend.
"@jtimberlake Weird hearing ur music as an Adult," wrote aspiring country singer, who turned 22 on Thursday and is newly engaged. "Ha. Not only do I appreciate it. I GET it. #jay #crymeariver #mirror."
In her late-night post – which referenced Justin's 2002 hit "Cry Me a River," a song about his breakup with Britney – Jamie Lynn uploaded a photo of the three of them together. In the grainy pic, they are in the back of a car, and Jamie Lynn, who was a pre-teen, is sitting on a curly-haired Justin's lap while Britney looked on.
While the photo was a sweet walk down memory lane – who can forget the denim-loving, "Mickey Mouse Club" duo's time together? – it seemed to have crossed enemy lines. Not long after it went up, Jamie Lynn, who clearly upset Britney's legions of loyal fans, deleted the post and replaced it with another one.
"I hope you all know that my tweets are only to support my sister @britneyspears – anything left over was to @jtimberlake," she wrote, tagging it #sisterlove and #4eva.

SXSW Crash Suspect Was About to Perform at Festival
(Newser) – At 12:30am Thursday, Rashad Owens was an aspiring rapper heading to perform at an Austin club during the South by Southwest festival. By 1am, he was in custody on charges that could bring the death penalty. The 21-year-old accused of driving his car into a crowd of people while fleeing police, killing two bystanders, raps under the names KillingAllBeatz and K.A.B254, reports the Austin American-Statesman. Owens was on his way to pick up his two brothers, who were waiting for him at another Austin club, when the police chase began, one of his brothers tells the newspaper.

Listen to One Direction on iHeartRadio
Niall Horan hosted a charity soccer match in Leicester, England on Monday.
Joining him were One Direction bandmates Louis Tomlinson, Liam Payne and Harry Styles, who even scored a goal (video below).
The boy-banders played against Piers Morgan and a number of other stars and professional athletes.
And even though the One Direction guys lost the match, they ultimately were big winners for having raised a lot of money from the game for Irish Autism Action and UK Heart and Minds Challenge.

Poehler drafted for
Super Bowl spot
Best Buy Co. is enlisting actress and comedian Amy Poehler to get its brand message across in a humor-focused spot during Super Bowl XLVII. The electronics chain will air a 30-second spot featuring Poehler, fresh off from her gig co-hosting the Golden Globes earlier this month, in the first quarter of the big game Feb. 3 on CBS.
McDonald's profit
edged up in 4Q
McDonald's Corp. says its profit edged up in the fourth quarter, after it moved to boost slumping sales by focusing on value. It reported it earned $1.4 billion, or $1.38 per share, for the period ended Dec. 31. That compares with $1.38 billion, or $1.33 per share, a year ago. Revenue rose to $6.95 billion, up from $6.82 billion.
US Airways 4Q
profit doubles
US Airways says net income doubled in the fourth quarter as its planes were fuller and it made more money off each passenger. The airline earned $37 million, or 22 cents per share, compared with $18 million, or 11 cents per share a year ago. US Airways, which is in merger talks with the parent of American Airlines, said revenue set a fourth-quarter record of $3.28 billion, up about 4 percent.
IMF sees modest
global growth
The International Monetary Fund is projecting a modest rise in global economic growth for 2013, but it also is warning that problems in the eurozone and the United States could derail momentum. The world economy grew 3.2 percent in 2012, according to IMF estimates.
Netflix reports
subscriber gains
Netflix Inc., the world's largest online-video service, gained 2.05 million U.S. Internet subscribers in the fourth quarter, exceeding its forecast. It closed 2012 with 27.2 million U.S. online customers. In October, the company predicted fourth-quarter growth of 1.3 million to 2 million customers, and said it could finish the year with as many as 27.1 million.
Google seeing more
demands for data
Google says it is fielding more legal demands from governments around the world seeking to learn more about the people using its search engine, email and other services. Governments presented it with 21,389 requests for information during the last six months of 2012, up 17 percent from a year earlier. More than 8,400 of the requests came from the U.S. government.
Coach says holiday
sales were muted
Coach Inc., the luxury handbag seller, said a challenging economy and price-cutting by competitors weighed on its second-quarter results. The results suggest the shopping season was tough as shoppers grappled with economic uncertainty. Coach said its net income was $352.7 million, or $1.23 per share, in the quarter, compared with $347.5 million, or $1.18 per share, a year ago. Net sales rose 4 percent to $1.50 billion.

I deleted my post cause I'm actually not sure. I have to try it later on.
I am able to create an exe with metersploit and copy to my XP sp2 box with AVG running on it, by playing with various encoders or multi encoders with various counts I can usually get passed my AV.
I then copy and paste the code for later use, re-run this code say even a few mins later with a different name e.g. test2.exe instead of test.exe, it fails yet the original test.exe still runs.
I am following metersploit unleashed AV bypass, metersploit primer part 14 and many other examples and bingo it works first time and fails on repeat tries.
I have stopped testing using VirusTotal as I thought this might be alerting AVG.
Any ideas would be appreciated.
Many thanks.

Using VirusTotal will indeed have your file(s) included in a database of possible malicious files..
So if you want to re-use that encoding that works, dont send to VirusTotal.
Seems very strange that simply changing the filename would change the detection.. seems that
you must be doing something changing the file in some way..

In 1993, researchers at Texas Scottish Rite Hospital for Children developed the TRUE/LOKTM External Fixation System, a modified version of the Ilizarov circular fixator, which was further upgraded to reach modern design. The device was created to treat deformities and bone traumas and to lengthen limbs with a simpler frame and better comfort to the patient.
The TRUE/LOKTM External Fixation System uses a surgical process called distraction osteogenesis to correct limb length discrepancies. In this process, the bone is surgically split in two sections and slowly moved apart by the TRUE/LOKTM external fixator, allowing new bone to form in the gap. Distraction osteogenesis expands both the bone volume and the soft tissues surrounding the bone.
While the process is proven to be successful, it takes many months to finish and requires a commitment from the patient and family to complete the treatment.
The TRUE/LOKTM external fixator, which has been used to treat thousands of children, is designed to reduce the complexity of adjusting the frame after surgery. The system is a major improvement to the Ilizarov fixator, allowing surgeons to salvage limbs in certain cases of severe trauma that previously resulted in amputation.
The hospital holds more than 12 U.S. and international patents on the TRUE/LOKTM external fixator.

In pointing to Archaeopteryx as an intermediate form, evolutionists began with the assumption that it was the earliest bird-like creature on Earth. However, the discovery of certain far older bird fossils displaced Archaeopteryx from its perch as the ancestor of birds. In addition, these creatures were flawless birds with none of the supposed reptilian features attributed to Archaeopteryx.
The Protoavis fossil, estimated to be 225 million years old, demolished the theory that Archaeopteryx, a bird 75 million years younger than it, was the ancestor of birds.
The most significant of them was Protoavis, estimated at 225 million years old. The fossil, whose existence was announced in a paper in the August 1986 edition of the magazine Nature, demolished the idea that Archaeopteryx, 75 million years younger was the forerunner of all birds. Its bodily structure, with hollow bones as in all other birds, long wings and traces of feathers on those wings showed that Protoavis was capable of perfect flight.
N. Hotton of the Smithsonian institute describes the fossil thus: "Protoavis has a well-developed furcula bone and chest bone, assisting flight, hollow bones and extended wing bones . . . Their ears indicate that they communicate with sound, while dinosaurs are silent."195
The German biologists Reinhard Junker and Siefried Scherer describe the blow dealt to evolutionist theses:"Because Archaeopteryx is 75 million years younger than Protoavis, it emerged that this was a dead end for evolution. Therefore, the idea put forward by the proponents of creation that there are no intermediate forms, only mosaic forms, has been strengthened. The fact that Protoavis resembles modern birds in many ways makes the gap between bird and reptile even more apparent."196
Furthermore, the age calculated for Protoavis is so great that this bird-again according to dating provided by evolutionist sources-is even older than the first dinosaurs on Earth. This means the absolute collapse of the theory that birds evolved from dinosaurs!

(Warning: this blog contains graphic images and bad puns.)
On 19 October I heard exciting news leaking down the underground corridors of Melbourne Museum and into the Live Exhibits Lab. Word that a Humpback Whale had beached itself on the western end of the Ninety Mile Beach in eastern Victoria, set my plan in motion to become involved in its subsequent recovery. I bailed up (approached) the Preparations Department manager Peter Swinkels in one of the corridors and offered my assistance. Fortunately he said yes and that if I could handle a tight squeeze in the car, I was welcome to come along and help out.
So we left the Museum the following Monday and headed for McGaurens Beach, a small stretch of coast located between Yarram and Sale. The car ride down was a bit of a squeeze with Peter Swinkels, Steven Sparrey (Preparation), Brendon Taylor (Preparation), Michael Pennell (Image Management & Copyright) and I (Live Exhibits) all stuffed into the Hilux for the three hour trip down to McGaurens Beach. We arrived around lunchtime, and started to inspect the dead whale and the surrounding conditions (such as the tide) to plan our course of action.
Humpback whales (Megaptera novaeangliae) belong to the suborder Mysticeti, the group known as the baleen whales. Baleen is the keratin (the same material your fingernails) plates that the whales use to filter their food (krill, other zooplankton and small fish) with. Adult humpback whales can measure between 12-16 metres, and can weigh over 30 tonnes!
When we arrived at McGaurens Beach the whale sat just above the low tide mark. It would make it very hard to work on the whale when the tide came in, so we decided to move it higher up the beach and out of reach of the tide. This way we could work on it all day.

To avoid damage to the flippers we removed them before the excavator dragged the whale up past the high tide mark. Although the excavator weighed 25 tonnes, it still struggled to pull the whale 50m up the beach.

To cut off the flippers and through the flesh we used very large sharp knives and a special knife shaped like a hockey stick, called a flensing tool. Flensing tools were what whalers used to use to cut the blubber off whales before commercial whaling was banned in 1986 by the International Whaling Commission (IWC). Some legal whaling still continues today in indigenous communities as traditional hunting, and through exploiting legal loopholes under the guise of scientific research.

After dragging the body past the high tide mark we took measurements of different parts of the whale. These measurements will be added to a big database full of information that helps us understand these wonderful creatures of the sea.

After all the measurements had been recorded it was time to remove the skeleton. Firstly, we needed to find some small vestigial bones that are the remnants of the whale's hip and hind legs. Millions of years ago the ancestors of the modern whales we see today had front and rear limbs, and while the forelimbs slowly evolved into flippers, the hind limbs slowly disappeared and all that is left is a few tiny bones.

After cutting away most of the flesh and blubber we removed the vertebrae (the backbone). Slowly and carefully, we removed the ribs, the skull, and the mandible (the jawbone). All the fleshy waste was returned to sea, where it would be eaten and broken down by scavenging animals and bacteria.
The pile of blubber we made after removing it from the carcass.Image: Colin SilveySource: Museum Victoria
Once we had all the bones, we dug a big hole and put the bones into it. We bury the bones so that bacteria and other flesh eating organisms can clean the bones for us. In about six months, we will return to where the bones are buried and bring them back to the museum for a few touch ups and further measurement. Perhaps one day they will be put on display at Melbourne Museum for you to see.

Inside Lacrosse is pleased to present our annual Top 25 Young Gun Sophomore Watchlist.
As another year of sophomore recruiting starts, it's notable to see how the process at this young level is starting to evolve, both in the summer club circuit and for the upcoming fall tournament process. Club teams and recruiting organizers have assembled the mechanics of the process a little better, and as such the top players in this 2015 were on display like never before this past summer. This fall, we'll see more events for sophomores, and more teams recruiting them than we have before.
IL's Ty Xanders led the effort to help organize this year's Sophomore Watchlist, following a big summer of analysis and note-taking from IL's recruiting staff — Xanders, Casey Vock and Geoff Shannon — followed by notes and analysis with some of the game's top club teams, Division I coaches who are recruiting heavily at the sophomore level, and high school contacts.
Two analytical notes you can take away from this year's Watchlist:
1) Hotbed kids have strong early identifiers, but Blue Chips are everywhere, from Virginia to Arizona to California. And coaches are identifying and recruiting these top prospects early.
2) Canadian recruits are working their way into the early recruit process. No longer subject to the whims of DI coaches scrounging through the WLA and OLA junior leagues, Canadian recruits are out on the summer fields, adding their names to the early radars.
Here, then, are the sophomore prospects to watch heading into the fall and the spring 2013 high school season.
—Geoff Shannon
1. Ryan Conrad, M, Loyola Blakefield (Md.) - Virginia
A complete midfielder, Conrad flourished on the Dons' first line as a young buck, dropping 16 goals and 11 assists alongside a pair of Power 100 incoming freshmen. This summer, the 6-foot, 160-pound product showcased the ability to create separation from his man, play defense and win face-offs. The sky is the limit for Conrad, who will be a marked man in the MIAA for another three seasons.
2. James Sullivan, FO/M, Garden City (N.Y.)
Sullivan was a crucial part of Garden City's run to a New York state title, creating instant offense at the X by popping draws to himself, winning 71 percent on the season. A member of For Love of the Game, he also demonstrated a strong prowess dodging the alleys, as well as toughness and lacrosse IQ. Sullivan is expected to pick between Ivy League schools and Notre Dame.
3. Timmy Kelly, A, Calvert Hall (Md.) - North Carolina
Kelly, the top quarterback in the class, is a skilled and intelligent right-hander with a strong nose for the goal. Deciding to join his brother and cousins by committing to the Tar Heels, he stood out on a senior-laden Cardinal team that won the MIAA championship. With hefty graduation losses, Kelly could be asked to carry the load at attack next spring.
4. Justin Lemcke, M, Henry Street (Ont.)
Playing with Jamie Munro's 3D Ontario club this summer, Lemcke showed the tendency to dominate at times, making it hard on opposing defenses with his outstanding stick skills, size, athleticism and vision. While he's among the top prospects in Division I lacrosse, he's one of the more promising hockey prospects in Ontario. Time will tell where he ends up.
5. Timmy Phillips, M, Episcopal (Va.) - Notre Dame
An athletic and ruthless dodger, Phillips separates and finishes better than the majority of his class, a quality that helped him produce 29 goals for his high school team. The Blackwolf product possesses 6-foot-2, 190-pound size and is also strong at the face-off X. Excellent building block for the Fighting Irish's recruiting class.
6. Curtis Zappala, A/M, Episcopal Academy (Pa.) - Maryland
Zappala, a proven dodger and shooter, was a highly sought-after prospect this summer, honing his skills with Dukes LC and excelling individually at Jake Reed's camp. In the spring, the early verbal to the Terps notched 12 goals and 20 assists despite missing time with a concussion. When surrounded by the right players, Zappala is difficult to stop.
7. Zach Ambrosino, LSM/D, Taft (Conn.) - Virginia
The darling of many a college recruiter, Ambrosino comes to Taft after beginning his career at Dover-Sherborn in Massachusetts. Standing at 6-foot-1 and 190 pounds, the future Wahoo has standout footwork and stick skills ample enough to make him a threat in transition. The first team All-League selection plays club for the Top Gun Fighting Clams.
8. Charles Kelly, F/O, Malvern Prep (Pa.) - North Carolina
One of the better face-off prospects to come out of Philadelphia in years, Kelly was a key cog in Dukes LC's run this summer. While his dodging needs polishing, his ability to change a game can't be overlooked. Said one college coach: "Lock him in as a freshman and you won't have to worry about face-offs for four years."
9. Cade van Raaphorst, LSM/D, Desert Vista (Ariz.) - Duke
Van Raaphorst is a "no brainer" according to a Top 10 assistant, due to athleticism and cover skills that jump off the page from the get go. The Arizona-native had an excellent campaign at Maverik Showtime and played several events with the West Coast Starz. Van Raaphorst earned second team All-State recognition as a freshman.
10. Jake Fox, A, Trinity-Pawling (N.Y.) - Johns Hopkins
The Canadian finisher was able to score at will this summer, having a great run with 3D Ontario and at Nike Blue Chip. His 6-1, 180-pound frame is an asset when dodging, riding and going for groundballs. Works very hard off-ball. For his sophomore year, Fox took his talents to Trinity-Pawling, where he is a three-sport athlete.
11. Alex Concannon, A/M, Syosset (N.Y.) - Johns Hopkins
12. Tyler Kellogg, A/M, Trinity-Pawling (N.Y.) - Virginia
13. Louis Dubick, A, Winston Churchill (Md.) - Maryland
14. Jack Corbett, G, Duxbury (Mass.)
15. Henry Grass, A, Bronxville (N.Y.) - Johns Hopkins
16. Joseph Manown, A, La Salle Academy (R.I.)
17. Alex McGovern, M, St. Paul's (Md.) - North Carolina
18. Adrian Nash, M, Tully (N.Y.)
19. Tommy Wright, LSM, Garden City (N.Y.) - Penn State
20. Andy Matthews, A, Gilman (Md.) - North Carolina
21. Ryan Lamb, M, Paul VI (Va.) - Virginia
22. Nick Mellen, D, West Genesee (N.Y.)
23. Jack Olson, M, Georgetown Prep (Md.) - Johns Hopkins
24. Case Carpenter, LSM/D, Highland Park (Tex.)
25. Mikey Herring, A, Avon Old Farms (Conn.)

On C-SPAN's Book TV, Matthews repeated his claim that McCain "deserves to be president"
On the November 10 edition of C-SPAN's Book TV live from the 2007 Miami Book Fair International [1], while promoting his new book Life's a Campaign: What Politics Has Taught Me About Friendship, Rivalry, Reputation and Success [2] (Random House, October 2007), MSNBC host Chris Matthews [3] was asked, "[A]re there any success lessons from [Sen.] John McCain [R-AZ]?" During his answer, Matthews said: "I'm allowed to like certain people. I like [McCain], I like [Gov. Bill] Richardson [D-NM], I like some of these people. I like [Sen. Joe] Biden [D-DE]. There's some guys in this business that most people would like." He continued: "You don't have to think they should be president, although if John McCain were president tomorrow morning, I'd be happy, because even though I might not vote for -- or vote for him depending on the options, I just feel if he became president he would deserve it for what he's done for the country." Matthews added: "[D]eserve's a hard word, but he would deserve it. He served this country and the other guys haven't."
This is not the first time that Matthews has said that McCain "deserves to be president." As Media Matters for America has documented [4], Matthews has previously said that McCain "deserves to be president" because of his "contributions to the country over the years." As Media Matters has also noted, Matthews has described covering McCain's campaign's problems as the "worst part of [his] job. [5]" Furthermore, Matthews has frequently adopted the McCain campaign's talking point that McCain offers "straight [6] talk [7]," and has frequently praised [8] the Arizona senator, including during a November 19, 2006, edition of his NBC-syndicated Chris Matthews Show, on which he referred [9] to McCain as "kind of like a Martin Luther" and described him as a "smart hawk." More recently, Matthews repeated his description of McCain as a "maverick" who offers "straight talk" on the August 29 edition [8] of MSNBC's Hardball.
From the November 10 edition of C-SPAN's Book TV:
PETER KRAMER (interviewer): In your book Life's a Campaign, are there any success lessons from John McCain?
MATTHEWS: Well, clearly, love of country is beyond a lesson. It's -- it's a wonderful thing. I mean, McCain is -- I absolutely believe he loves America, and I absolutely believe it came from the sacrifice that he endured for five and a half years, much of it in solitary, being beaten up -- look at -- he shows the marks. One of the reasons he looks old now beyond his years, is he was beaten the hell up by -- over there -- by those people whose nicknames he still has in his head that were beating him up over there, and I think -- I think he knows how to raise money a little bit. I have some stuff in there about how he says, "The good news is, there's a lot of money in the audience tonight, the bad news is a lot of it is still in your pocket" -- you know, I know he knows some of these tricks to sort of get an audience going. He doesn't have much money to run, he doesn't have a big-time campaign. He has to win in New Hampshire. We had him on last night with his mom, his 95-year-old mom, and that was to some extent his effort to let people know, "OK, I'm 71, I look old, but look, I got a 93-year-old mom, I got some good genes working here, I'm not going to crap out, if you will, some time in the first four years as president," you know. So I like him. I just -- I'm allowed to like certain people. I like him, I like Richardson, I like some of these people. I like Biden. There's some guys in this business that most people would like. You don't have to think they should be president, although if John McCain were president tomorrow morning, I'd be happy, because even though I might not vote for -- or vote for him depending on the options, I just feel if he became president, he would deserve it for what he's done for the country. He would, you know -- and deserve's a hard word, but he would deserve it. He served this country --
KRAMER: Does your --
MATTHEWS: -- and the other guys haven't. So few of these other people have put in their time for the country, you know, done things that were really sacrificial just for duty, and I think that he's got that covered in more ways than you can imagine, I think.

Royals Prospect Primer: Zimmer ready to roll
Right-hander has the stuff to join Ventura in the Kansas City rotation
By John Parker / MiLB.com | March 29, 2014 11:00 AM ET
Some players are on the verge of stardom, others are entering a crucial phase of their development and still others are getting their first tastes of full-season ball. With the 2014 season approaching, MiLB.com takes a look at the most intriguing prospects from each MLB organization.
Shining star: Kyle Zimmer, RHP
The Royals have had their issues over the years with developing home-grown pitching talent, but between Zimmer and flamethrower Yordano Ventura, they seem poised to break through.
The fifth overall pick out of the University of San Francisco in the 2012 Draft, Zimmer had his first full season cut short by biceps tendinitis in mid-August last summer. Now fully recovered, Zimmer was, at 22, the youngest player in Kansas City's Major League camp this spring.
Zimmer struggled at times early last season with Class A Advanced Wilmington -- he lost his first six decisions -- but bounced back with several strong outings before a promotion to Northwest Arkansas, where he was lights-out in four Double-A starts (18 2/3 IP, 27 K, .162 BAA).
"He's going to be able to strike guys out," said J.J. Picollo, the Royals' assistant general manager of scouting and player development. "He's got two breaking balls, the slider and the curveball, and I don't know that one's better than the other but they're both swing-and-miss pitches. So his strikeout totals, as long as he's able to get ahead of hitters, are going to be high. The command will continue to get better."
A former third baseman who only began pitching in college, Zimmer is still learning his craft. He doesn't throw quite as hard as Ventura -- who does? -- but with a mid-90s fastball, a curve and slider that could both become plus pitches and a changeup with average potential, he has stuff. He'll likely start the season back at Double-A, but if all goes well could debut with the Royals later this summer.
Breakout prospect: Raul Mondesi, SS
Mondesi, son of the 1994 National League Rookie of the Year of the same name, was inconsistent in his first full professional season last year -- understandably, as he didn't turn 18 until late July and the average South Atlantic League player was 21.6. Nevertheless, he had some notable highs -- in late May, he homered twice in one game, then hit for the cycle in the next -- and displayed tools to make scouts drool.
The switch-hitting shortstop showed glimpses of power with the Legends last year (seven homers) along with good speed (24 stolen bases in 34 attempts) and an arm that lives up to his name.
"His instincts for a 17-year-old are incredible," said Lexington manager Brian Buchanan last year. "He's smooth around shortstop. He can make plays on his backhand or forehand. He can do it all."
It's a long way from the Sally League to the Majors, but given Mondesi's sheer talent and the aggressiveness with which the Royals have promoted him, he could conceivably reach Kansas City before turning 20. His next step will likely be with Wilmington in the Carolina League.
At the crossroads: Bubba Starling, OF
The Royals' selection of Starling with the fifth overall pick in the 2011 Draft was bound to create hype. A three-sport star in high school in Gardner, Kan. -- 35 miles from Kauffman Stadium -- Starling turned down a chance to play football at Nebraska to sign with the Royals for .5 million. The results at the plate thus far, however, have not been particularly promising.
Starling didn't make his pro debut until summer 2012, when he hit .275/.371/.485 for Rookie-level Burlington in the Appalachian League, but struck out in over 30 percent of his plate appearances. Last year his strikeout rate dropped to 26 percent, but he hit just .241/.329/.398 with Class A Lexington. Starling turned 21 last August, which is still young, if not particularly young for his Minor League level. Mondesi, his teammate with the Legends last season, is three years younger.
Because of his overall athletic prowess, Starling didn't concentrate exclusively on baseball until he was drafted and has only 730 plate appearances as a pro. Kansas City general manager Dayton Moore has downplayed Starling's offensive struggles, pointing out that Torii Hunter spent six years in the Minors and suggesting that Starling needed another 800 to 1,000 at-bats before the Royals could get a feel for his timeline.
Though Starling's defense in center field is ready for the Majors (he won the Frank White Award as the organization's defensive player of the year), 2014 will be a key season -- likely in the Carolina League -- for his offensive development.
More to keep an eye on: To keep an eye on RHP Yordano Ventura, you'll have to follow the Royals, who have named Ventura their No. 3 starter. He hit 102 mph during one Spring Training appearance. ... Sean Manaea was a supplemental first-round pick last June, but did not pitch in 2013 after undergoing hip surgery. The left-hander will likely make his pro debut with Wilmington. ... Third baseman Cheslor Cuthbert has one of the best arms in the organization, but has yet to find his offensive game. The 21-year-old Nicaraguan owns a career .249/.316/.370 line over four Minor League seasons.

Jamie Foxx reveals why he joined Trayvon Martin protest
Listen to Jamie Foxx on iHeartRadio
After a quick, fun, impromptu performance on "The Tonight Show," Jamie Foxx turns serious and reveals why he is so vocal about the Trayvon Martin case.
The Oscar-winning actor engaged the audience with a performance of one of Harry Belafonte's biggest hits, and then said what his inspiration was in joining the protest of the teen who was killed by George Zimmerman.
"I was at the Image Awards and I run into Trayvon Martin's mom and she has tears in her eyes…she said, 'my boy is gone,' he explained to host Jay Leno. "I won't share with you exactly what she said, but I'm standing next to my 19-year-old daughter and tears filled my eyes because I was thinking, 'what would I do if my daughter wasn't there?' And she asked me, 'would you come personally and just stand with me. No political, no nothing. No Black. No White, just about a child that was murdered."
"And I said, 'yes,' but I felt like I was being Hollywood, like half and half. Like I might go and I might not go. And then later that night, I reciveed an award for whatever I done. And Harry Belafonte goes on before me and he spoke so eloquently about how he was an activist first and an actor second. He challenged us that night. And when I went up there to say my speech … and I couldn't get it out, I said listen: after hearing Harry Belafonte speak, I have a lot of work to do."

Well not sure what your problem maybe but it sounds like there is no network activity to give you anything to ARP. I always us aireplay to crack WEP keys. Seems to work for me. I mean you have to make sure someone is going to be using the network is some way. Here are the two lines I use while using airodump
aireplay-ng -1 0 -a (bssid) -h (your mac) (your wifi card)
once that finishes
aireplay-ng -3 -b (bssid) -h (your mac) (your wifi card)
once this is running in a new shell as well as your airodump command, and someone hits that network with anything at all you should be able to watch your data packets go crazy should shoot to about 10,000 in less then 5 min with a strong signal. Once done then you can just use aircrack to crack the key. Hope this helps.

Great Product for the Price!
May 1, 2017 | By Katie
These are so easy to use. Pictures slide right in. The protective case is a little more challenging to use. There is plenty of space to store those 'extra' photos of a similar scene behind to ones you choose to exhibit. So slim = space saver, so easy= time saver. Will purchase more!

From businesses to bulldozers, anything can be sold at auction — and all with the trademark bang of a gavel.
Deb Weidenhamer and her Phoenix-based company, Auction Systems Auctioneers & Appraisers, brought the fast-paced world of auction houses to the small screen this fall on TLC's "Auctioneer$." The show premiered Oct. 9, and each episode followed about three pieces through the auction process. It showed why it was being sold, the actual auction and why the buyer wanted the piece.
Unfortunately, after four episodes "Auctioneer$" was put on hiatus, but Weidenhamer and her team are glad they were part of the program.
"It was certainly some great media for us," she says, adding that the show allowed people to get a look at what auctions are all about, as well as leaving them entertained and informed.
Auction Systems already was expanding its business before "Auctioneer$," but that growth has since accelerated and the company is looking to add four additional locations in the Southwest in 2011. As a result of the show, however, Weidenhamer says that auction attendance, and the number of individuals and companies looking to auction off items, has increased. Now, many corporations are calling Auction Systems looking to auction off surplus or discontinued items.
"Doing a television show is really something that teaches you a lot about corporate messaging," she says, adding that her company had to "get succinct on what our message was."
The company's message was, and continues to be, you can live better by buying at auction, she says.
"Auctioneer$" also shared with viewers one important piece of information about the auction industry.
"It's different every day," Weidenhamer says. "You never know what's going to show up to be sold. It's always intriguing. The buyers and sellers all have very different motivations."
Weidenhamer's favorite auctioned item is an antique time recorder clock that appeared on the TLC show. During the boom of the Industrial Revolution, the four-foot time clock recorded up to 100 employees' hours at a time.
"I think that's just really fascinating because it's such a piece of history. They're very rare to find. It was just such a beautiful piece," she says.
The auction industry's ever-changing ways were what drew Weidenhamer to the business in the first place. In 1995, while on a flight from San Francisco to Phoenix she sat by an 80-year-old former auctioneer. He detailed the excitement and diversity of his career and Weidenhamer was sold. Within a month, she resigned from her job in the mergers-and-acquisitions field and enrolled in auction school. She's been in the auction business for about 15 years.
In the seven months the TLC crews filmed "Auctioneer$," Weidenhamer picked up a bit of the reality show way of life — she learned to ignore the cameras.
"You really get used to it," she says. "They just kind of become a part of the background and you don't even think about it anymore."

'Grigorenko was selected by the Sabres with the 12th overall pick in the 2012 NHL Entry Draft. He is Buffalo's highest forward selection since they took Thomas Vanek with the fifth overall pick in 2003.'
Archives for July 2012
Sabres ink Grigorenko
Grigorenko signs with Sabres
'"There wasn't any communication," he said of his talks with the KHL. "Before the draft they just wanted me to know that they're interested in me and asked me what I feel and what I'm going to do. And I said, 'I want to be an NHL player. I want to be drafted and sign a contract and I'll do anything to make the team.' For now, I don't even think about the KHL."'
Sabres sign Grigorenko to entry-level contract
'In 2011-12, Grigorenko scored 85 points (40+45) while picking up just 12 penalty minutes for the Quebec Remparts in his first QMJHL season. He led all first-year players in the league in goals and points, and was second in regular-season assists. Despite only playing in 59 games, Grigorenko's 40 goals and 85 points tied him for fifth and eighth place, respectively, among all players in the league.'
Sabres sign pair
'In parts of five NHL seasons, Tarnasky has compiled 30 points and 297 penalty minutes in 245 games with Tampa Bay, Nashville and Florida.'
Nick Tarnasky, T.J. Brennan sign one-year deals with Sabres
'Brennan, 23, just completed his three-year entry-level contract and was a restricted free agent. He must be exposed to waivers if the Sabres want to send him to the American Hockey League.'
Sabres ink tough guy Tarnasky, re-sign Brennan
'Brennan, who had 16 goals and 30 points in 52 AHL games last year, could be fighting with Brayden McNabb, newcomer Adam Pardy and Mike Weber for the seventh spot.'
Szczechura takes his talents to Prague
'"It's not like I'm taking a step back. The KHL is right there next to the NHL and obviously I want to play full-time in the NHL. "At this point, if anything, it's going to get me closer to establishing a full-time job in the NHL."'
Sabres sign Tarnasky, Brennan
'Brennan, the team's second-round pick in the 2007 draft, appeared in 11 games for the Sabres last season and scored a goal against Boston in his NHL debut. He also scored 16 goals in 52 games for Buffalo's minor league affiliate in Rochester.'
Sabres sign Tarnasky, re-sign Brennan
'Tarnasky (6'2", 224 lbs., 11/25/84) joins the Sabres after spending a season in the Kontinental Hockey League playing for Vityaz Chekov. In one KHL season, Tarnasky recorded 12 points (5+7) and 173 penalty minutes in 36 games. Tarnasky, a native of Rocky Mountain House, Alberta, was drafted by the Tampa Bay Lightning in the 9th round (287th overall) of the 2003 NHL Entry Draft. In parts of five NHL seasons, Tarnasky has compiled 30 points (13+17) and 297 penalty minutes in 245 games with Tampa Bay, Nashville and Florida.'
Last-minute invitee from Stouffville lights up Buffalo Sabres' camp
'While Wise doesn't have a contract yet, he hoped his performance at their camp might have been a good omen as he was invited back to attend the Sabres' main camp in September. "I'll see what they say after their main camp," he said.'
Duty at home is calling Armia
'The Sabres' first-round draft pick in 2011 has no plans to compete for a roster spot or play in Rochester. His focus for camp was to improve the impressions he's made on Sabres brass before returning to Finland to complete his obligatory military service while competing for a title in the SM-liiga, Finland's top professional league.'
Sabres Youth Will Be Served
'Depth at center is an issue for the Sabres. They traded for Cody Hodgson late last season. He scored three goals in 20 games. Development camp has helped him adjust to the organization. Hodgson said "I learned a lot about the organization, the people, the town. Did a few things in the city and got to know some of the younger guys as well so I think it was great experience and something I can definitely take forward."'
Patrick Roy's son acting on NHL dream with Sabres
"I knew with my size teams weren't willing to take a chance," Roy said. "For me, it's … good motivation for teams that didn't draft me. Today I'm ready (for) whoever's willing to take a chance on me. I'm going to take that chance and prove them wrong that they didn't draft me."'
Girgensons makes the tough decision, takes shot at the pros
'"He does have that. There's bite to his game," General Manager Darcy Regier said in First Niagara Center after announcing Girgensons had signed a three-year entry-level contract. "He's direct between points A and B and he does it forcefully and I think that's an important ingredient to have in the organization and an important addition for us."'
Sabres sign first-rounder Zemgus Girgensons to 3-year contract
'"To have him here, to have him in with the likes of Cody Hodgson, Marcus Foligno, (Brayden) McNabb, Luke Adams, guys that have NHL experience, it gave us, gave Lindy, additional insight into his game," Regier said.'

For over six years, Giant Panda Guerilla Dub Squad's live show has defined the band. Touring relentlessly, the Rochester, NY-based group is sustained by its passion to reinterpret, explore, and expand its music night after night.
After the 2006 release of their debut album, Slow Down, GPGDS hit the road and never looked back. On April 10th, they released their first electric studio album in six years, In These Times. This is the quintet's second release on the California-based label Controlled Substance Sound Labs.
In These Times consists of 12 tracks that showcase Giant Panda's psychedelic reggae sound. Bassist James Searl, guitarist Dylan Savage, and guitarist Dan Keller trade off songwriting and lead vocal duties, with backup vocals provided by drummer Chris O'Brian, and multi-instrumentalist Aaron Lipp. The album was mixed by Atlanta-based producer Billy Hume (Nas, STS9, Ludacris, Josh Ritter), and dubbed by the band's long-time engineer Joel Scanlon.
In These Times explores a variety of emotions and themes, from the feel good, sing along vibe of "Change You," to the political anthem "Pockets." Guests on the album include Hawaii's The Green, contributing backup vocals on "All Night Music," and John Brown's Body's horn section on "Next Best Explosion," and "Healing." "I think it would be fair to say that this is the album that long-time Panda fans have been waiting for" says Chris O'Brian.
In These Times follows the bands' lyrically-driven roots Americana album, Country (released January 2012). Combining acoustic instrumentation including slide guitar, banjo, harmonica, upright piano, percussion, and bass, Country showcases songs as they were first created: on the road, riding in the van, and jamming backstage. "Like early Wilco, with a healthy powdering of the stuff that made Gram Parsons' music so deeply moving, "Country" is a gorgeous collection of Americana ditties." – The Buffalo News
Giant Panda Guerilla Dub Squad is on tour now in support of their new releases.

ProgramsThe East Asian Studies Center provides interdisciplinary studies of China, Japan and Korea. It offers an undergraduate major in East Asian Area Studies, the Master of Arts in East Asian Area Studies and the Master of Arts/ Master of Business Administration. Its faculty are professors from departments throughout the college and several professional schools who teach and engage in research on East Asia. The center's interdisciplinary approach allows students to acquire broad exposure to many ways of learning about the region.
The East Asian Studies Center promotes and coordinates teaching, research and development of academic programs concerning East Asia, regardless of discipline or school, on a university-wide basis. Visiting scholars may also be named from among persons outside the university who wish to do research at USC and contribute to the goals of the center.
The center also promotes and coordinates academic exchange with other institutions with which USC maintains cooperative relations in the United States and abroad. The center serves, for example, as the consortium partner with UCLA's Asia Institute to form the USC/UCLA Joint East Asian Language and Area Studies National Resource Center. Graduate students with special interests in East Asia may take courses at UCLA through USC and may also work, where appropriate, with certain UCLA faculty. UCLA graduate students may similarly take courses at USC and work with USC faculty, for credit at UCLA in East Asian studies. The center facilitates cooperation and provides graduate fellowships to students at both institutions.

However, the only thing that BT will have transmitted is a DNS request to assign the computer a local IP address. Since this is something that the machine would have done anyway I don't see how this could give you away.
