text: Another great article from Sturm, however, this is a little more disconcerting than others. http://sturminator.blogspot.ca/ With the state of the running game and patch-work OL, looks like we've been forced into a very scary situation. Should we go all shotgun all the time? Play with fire...we know how that ends up.

One of the most option-packed features of Safari on iOS can be found, somewhat surprisingly, under the "Add Bookmark" and "Bookmarks" options icons. However, before you go about using these features, it may be best to actually add a few bookmarks to use. To do this follow these Steps:
Adding a Bookmark to Safari
Step 1. Load up the webpage you wish to bookmark in Safari.
Step 2. Tap the "Add Bookmark" icon. The "Bookmark" submenu options will appear.
Step 3. Tap the "Add Bookmark" button. The "Add Bookmark" options window will appear.
Step 4. Review the bookmark properties to make sure they are correct. These properties are:
"Bookmark Name" – Tap this field if you wish to edit your bookmark's default name.
"Bookmark URL" – Tap this field if you wish to edit the internet location which your bookmark goes to when tapped.
"Bookmark Location" – Tap this field to change where your bookmark appears within the Safari interface (within the bookmarks list, on the bookmarks Bar, or in a user defined Bookmark folder location [more on these options later])
Step 5. Once everything is properly set to your liking, Tap the "Save" button to save your bookmark.
Adding a Bookmark to your Home Screen
A lesser known, yet very handy feature within Safari for iOS is the ability to add a shortcut to a website directly on your Home Screen, with its own shiny icon and all! To do so:
Step 1. Follow Steps 1 and 2 above.
Step 2. Tap the button marked "Add To Home Screen" The "Add to Home" options dialog will appear.
Step 3. Review the name and icon to be placed on your Home Screen. If you wish to change your Home Screen Bookmarks' name, Tap the Icon name field to make your changes.
Step 4. Tap the "Add" button. Your Bookmark Icon will now appear on your Home Screen.
Now that we have added a few bookmarks, follow these Steps to get them organized for quick and easy access:
Organizing Bookmarks
Step 1. Click the "Bookmarks" icon. The "Bookmarks List" will appear. By default you will find the following items in your list:
"History" – Tap this option to view a list of your most recently visited web pages.
"Bookmarks Bar" – Tap this option to view the bookmarks currently located on your "Bookmarks Bar." By default this option list will be empty, until you add bookmarks onto the "Bookmarks Bar."
"Bookmarks List" – Any bookmarks created and added to the standard "Bookmarks" location will be listed here.
Step 2. – Click the "Edit" button in the "Bookmarks" options header. A number of new buttons/icons/options will appear:
The most prominent options will display on either side of your standard bookmarks in the "Bookmarks" list. These options are:
A red and white "minus" icon to the left of each of your bookmarks,
3 horizontal lines to the right of the bookmark arrow,
and an arrow to the right of your bookmark.
Step 3. To delete a bookmark, tap the red and white minus icon; a "Delete" button will appear to the right of your bookmark.
Step 3-1. Tap the "Delete" icon to remove your bookmark from the bookmarks list.
Step 4. To re-order your bookmarks, Tap and hold the 3 horizontal lines to the right of your bookmark.
Step 4-1. Drag your bookmark up or down the list until it is placed where you would like it to be listed in your bookmark list.
Step 5. To edit a bookmark, Tap the arrow to the immediate right of your bookmark. The "Edit Bookmark" dialog box will open.
Within the "Edit Bookmark" dialog box you will be presented with three options:
Bookmark Name: Tap this field to edit the name of you bookmark as it appears in your Bookmarks List.
Bookmark Location: Tap this field to edit the URL (website location) which your bookmark points to.
Bookmarks List: Tap this field to select where your bookmark will appear – in the default Bookmarks List, or in the Bookmarks Bar at the top of your browser.
Additionally, you can choose to sort your bookmarks into user defined folders, which can themselves be sorted into either the Bookmarks List or Bookmarks Bar. To do so follow these steps:
Step 5-1. Click the "New Folder" button in the upper right corner of your Bookmarks List. The "Edit Folder" dialog will appear.
Step 5-2. Tap the "Title" field and Name your folder
Step 5-3. Tap the Bookmarks List field and select where your newly created Bookmark Folder should appear.
Step 5-4. Select your folder from the Bookmarks List field when sorting your bookmark(s) to add your bookmark(s) to your new folder.
Believe it or not, there is even more fun to be had with Bookmarks in Safari for iOS; which we will cover shortly in a future edition. Enjoy!

After the shear success of the previous two years, The Fight Lounge has returned with Part I of II, of the Top UK MMA Prospects of 2013.
The Top Ten UK MMA Prospects are determined based on votes cast by a number of individuals in the MMA community. These consist of some of the top UK based journalists, writers and news website editors from The Fight Lounge, Addicted MMA and Love2Fight UK to name but a few. In order for a UK fighter to be considered, he or she must be a professional mixed martial artist and have fought in eight or less bouts. It is possible to include fighters that are under a ZUFFA or any other international promotions contract provided they were born in the United Kingdom.
A total of six participants provided their top ten UK prospects with the fighter in the top position allocated a total of ten points and the tenth fighter in the list just one. Once all the information was collated together, the final list of prospects could be determined. Due to the high amount of votes for certain fighters and the shear closeness in the votes in the latter end of the list, The Fight Lounge have decided to change the Top Ten UK Prospects to the Top Twelve.
Just for clarification purposes, the reason that this is deemed Part I of II, is because this list is based on the fighters achievements to date. In the latter part of the year, the list will be comprised once more for Part II.

The show will once again be held at Cedar Court Hotel (off M606) Bradford, details of which can be found on www.cedarcourthotels.co.uk
The bouts will take place in a 20 foot Octagen (currently utilised by Total Combat + Strike and Submit)
The event will be filmed by a professional crew utilising three Cameras and photographed by four photographers, the photos of which will be uploaded onto www.mmapics.com
We have seating capacity of five hundred (theatre style) and one hundred (VIP on ringside tables)
The theatre style tickets are priced at 35.00 (which includes a copy of 'The Champions' UK Events magazine)
The VIP tickets are priced at 60.00 (which includes a three course meal on a ringside table, a copy of 'The Champions' UK Events magazine and a twin disk dvd set of Champions IV).
The tickets are sold on an seat allocated system, so the longer it is left, the further the customer will be sat from the cage.
The fighters will be given a ticket deal on any tickets sold by either them or their representatives.
All the fighters will have a write-up in the next 'The Champions' UK Events Magazine.
I would ask fighters / coaches to make contact if they would like to compete at the event.
I will update this thread as and when the fight card comes to fruition.
Thank you in anticipation

did you type airmon-ng start wlan0
It's weird but whenever I run ettercap -G and ifconfig only lo comes up. My wireless card is nowhere to be seen. Although when I try to view it usingI can see my wireless card wlan0 clearly written on the screen.Code:airmon-ng
I'm using BackTrack 4 (pre) Final on LiveCD booted through USB. I copied the LiveCD using unetbootin. My main OS is a LinuxMint 8 x64. So far I have no problems doing everything above in LinuxMint.
Does that mean ifconfig does see my wireless card wlan0 but just won't recognize it as one?Code:root@bt~# ifconfig wlan0 wlan0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:25:d3:c5:de:9e BROADCAST MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:0 (0.0 B) TX bytes:0 (0.0 B)
For the record, this is what typing only ifconfig looks like
Code:root@bt~# ifconfig lo Link encap:Local loopback inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0 inet6 addr: ::1/128 Scope:Host UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:16436 Metric:1 RX packets:66 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:66 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 RX bytes:4092 (4.0 KB) TX bytes:4092 (4.0 KB)
And then there's wmaster0 , which when selected in ettercap won't even allow me to scan for hosts. I click Scan for hosts and nothing happens.Code:Inteface "mon0" not supported (802.11 plus BSD radio information header)
OK, now try ifconfig wlan0 up and the ifconfig, now it should appear.
Oh, and please do not double post, edit your last post instead. It's part of the rules.
Nice to see you got it working. Next time it will be to your advantage to leave all the fancy colors out of your post. I know the option is there but pretend it isn't. Not everyone uses the black background and as such might not see your white text as above.
LO = LoopBack = linux101
To be successful here you should read all of the following.

Once the court orders you to pay spousal or partner support, you must make the monthly spousal or partner support payments starting on the date the judge orders.
In every case ordering spousal or partner support, the court will order that a wage assignment (also called "wage garnishment") be issued and served. The wage assignment tells your employer to take the support payments out of your wages.
Generally, both parties can agree that payments can be made in some other way and can ask that service of the wage assignment (sending the wage assignment to the employer) be "stayed" (put on hold). In this situation, the parties work out how spousal or partner support will be paid and handle it between them.
In some cases, the local child support agency (LCSA) is involved. The LCSA is only involved if there is also a child support order in your case and 1 of you asked them for help enforcing all support payments (spousal/partner and child support). The LCSA may also be involved if 1 of you gets public assistance for your children (like CalWORKS). If the LCSA is involved, the LCSA has to agree to have the wage assignment "stayed." If the spouse/partner getting child and spousal or partner support is NOT getting public assistance, the LCSA will probably agree to both of you working the payments out between you.
IMPORTANT!! If the reason you cannot pay your spousal or partner support or are falling behind is you lost your job, your income went down, you went to jail, or some other important change happened, you need to ask the court to change your spousal or partner support amount. DO NOT WAIT. Even if you lose your job, you will be responsible for the full amount of spousal or partner support until a new order is made.
Learn how to ask the court to change your support order. Or contact your court's family law facilitator for help with your paperwork and understanding what you should do.
After the court decides the amount of spousal or partner and/or child support, the earnings assignment (also called "wage garnishment") tells the employer how much to deduct from each paycheck and where to send the payment.
With an earnings assignment, if you are regularly employed, the employer will take support payments directly out of your paycheck. Most support is paid this way, and federal and state laws require it in almost all support cases. It is the employer's responsibility to withhold the wages if there is an earnings assignment. If you also have a child support earnings assignment in place, child support is deducted first. Spousal or partner support assignments come after child support earnings assignments.
If the local child support agency (LCSA) is involved in your case, they will automatically issue the earnings assignment and begin collecting from your paycheck through your employer.
If the LCSA is not involved in your case, your former spouse or domestic partner, or the court itself, will prepare a earnings assignment and send it to your employer.
If the earnings assignment is for spousal or partner support only, the employer will forward the payments to the supported spouse or partner directly.
When an earnings assignment includes child support, employers must send the payments withheld to the California State Disbursement Unit (SDU). This means that the spousal or partner support (with the child support) payments will probably come to the person getting support from the SDU and not directly from the paying person's employer (or from the LCSA if they are involved in your case). Getting payments through the SDU does NOT mean that you have a case with the local child support agency.
If you have any questions about the SDU, contact the SDU directly at 1-866-901-3212 or visit the California State Disbursement Unit's website.
In general, you cannot fight an earnings assignment (also called a "wage garnishment") in court because earnings assignments are allowed by law. However, in some circumstances you can object to the earnings assignment issued to your employer. For instance, if you and your former spouse or partner have an agreement that says there will be no earnings assignment, it may be possible to ask the court to review your case.
Asking that the earnings assignment be quashed ("set aside" or "canceled")
When an earnings assignment order is sent to your employer, your employer will give you a blank Request for Hearing Regarding Earnings Assignment (Form FL-450). You have 10 days from when you receive this form to ask for a hearing on the earnings assignment. On the form, you will have a chance to explain why you do not want your wages garnished. When you go to court, the judge will make a decision.
The reasons you can ask for the earnings assignment to be canceled are:
Asking for service of the earnings assignment to be "stayed" ("put on hold")
In some cases, you may be able to get a "stay" of (a "hold" on) the service of the earnings assignment, which means that the earnings assignment would not be sent to your employer and you would be able to pay on your own. Read the Stay of Service of Earnings Assignment Order (Form FL-455) for more information on the reasons you can request a stay.
In general, the reasons you can ask for a "stay" of the service of the earnings assignment are:
To ask the judge to stay the earnings assignment:
1. Fill out the Stay of Service of Earnings Assignment Order (Form FL-455). On this form, mark the box that explains you have an agreement with your former spouse or partner (AND the LCSA if they are involved in your case) for another payment arrangement.
2. You will get a court hearing where you can ask the judge to stop service of the earnings assignment.
3. If the judge agrees with your request, he or she will sign the stay. This stops the earnings assignment from taking effect because it will not be served on your employer.
4. If you get a stay, it is very important you both keep good records of all the payments, in case there are any issues in the future.
See the Stay of Service of Earnings Assignment Order (Form FL-455) for more information on "staying" an earnings assignment.
If you do not follow your arrangement, your former spouse or domestic partner (or the LCSA if they are involved) can ask the court to end the stay on the earnings assignment and ask the employer to start garnishing (withholding) your wages.
When an earnings assignment order is sent to your employer, your employer will give you a blank Request for Hearing Regarding Earnings Assignment (Form FL-450). You have 10 days from when you receive this form to ask for a hearing on the earnings assignment. On the form, you will have a chance to explain why you think the amount of the earnings assignment is wrong. When you go to court, the judge will make a decision.
Remember that this is not the form you use to ask for a change in your spousal or partner support. It is used ONLY because you believe that the amount that will be taken from your paycheck is the wrong amount. Click if you want to change the amount of spousal or partner support you have to pay.
If your employer is taking too much out of your paycheck and you cannot afford it, there may be something you can do. It depends on what amounts are being taken from your check.
If your employer is just taking out the monthly spousal or partner support that the court ordered (without anything added to it), then there is probably nothing you can do except go to court to ask for your spousal or partner support to be changed. BUT if you just had a court hearing and that is the order the judge made and nothing has changed since the hearing, you probably will not succeed since the order shows the amount the judge ruled you have to pay.
If your employer is taking out an amount much higher than what your monthly spousal or partner support order says, you probably have a past due spousal or partner support balance. In this case, there may be something you can do. The court (and the LCSA if they are involved in your case) has a little more flexibility in how much money you have to pay every month to start paying off your past due support.
First, if they are involved, contact the local child support agency (LCSA) to see if you can make arrangements to lower your payments. If that does not work, you can file court forms to ask a judge to set a payment that you can afford. Remember, this payment is for the back spousal or partner support and probably child support.
If the LCSA is not involved in your case, you can file a request in court to set a payment amount that you can afford. Talk to your family law facilitator to learn what court forms would be best in your case.
If you decide to do it on your own, the procedures may vary from court to court, but in general, you will have to follow these steps:
1. Fill out your court forms
Fill out:
On your Form FL-300, check the box at item 8 ("Other Relief") and write in "Set monthly liquidation payment of $ (write in a reasonable amount)." The "liquidation payment" is the payment that goes toward your back spousal or partner support.
It is very important that you fill out Form FL-150 very carefully and completely. That form will show the court why you cannot afford the high rate of payments the earnings assignment is asking for to pay off your balance.
2. Have your forms reviewed
Ask your court's family law facilitator to review your paperwork. The facilitator can make sure you filled it out properly before you move ahead with your case.
3. Make at least 2 copies of all your forms
One copy will be for you; another copy will be for your former spouse or domestic partner. The original is for the court. If the LCSA is involved in your case, make 3 copies.
4. File your forms with the court clerk
Turn in your forms to the court clerk. The clerk will keep the original and return the copies to you, stamped "Filed." You may have to pay a filing fee. If you cannot afford the fee, you can ask for a fee waiver.
5. Get your court date
The clerk will give you a court date and write it on your Form FL-300.
6. Serve your papers on your former spouse/partner (and the LCSA, if they are involved)
Serve your spouse or partner (and the LCSA, if they are involved) with a copy of your papers and a blank Responsive Declaration to Request for Order (Form FL-320) and blank Income and Expense Declaration (Form FL-150) before your court date. Remember, someone else — NOT you — must serve the papers.
Get more information about "service." Look at the front of Form FL-300 to see if the court ordered you to serve any other documents.7. File your proof of service
8. Go to your court hearing
Go to your court hearing and take a copy of all your papers and your proofs of service. Also take proof of your income, like recent pay stubs and/or tax returns.
Read Going to Court to find out how to prepare for your court hearing.
At your hearing, the judge will determine how much you will have to pay toward your back spousal or partner support. Remember, this amount is in addition to the regular monthly spousal or partner support payments that you were already ordered to pay.


text: Im going to possibly change my mind and put Lee Murray s name out there He won his only UFC fight in 1 minute 48 seconds of the first round Jorge Rivera who was no can look at his record only really lost to quality opponents including Mike Bisping Martin Kampmann Anderson Silva and Rich Franklin. Also the way Murray took Anderson the distance and really held his own and this was only 2 years before Silvas huge UFC run. So yea Murray definitely deserves a mention as who knows what could of been.

Marriage Counseling Many couples have presented to me with issues of communication, distrust, priority problems, lack of connection, anger and resentment, and a host of other issues. A marriage that works energizes all of life. A marriage that is broken hinders a balance life and leads to other harmful issues. The majority of my case load is marriage counseling.

Couple counseling/marriage counseling means addressing his problems/her problems/their problems. That can be quite a task. I have been doing successful couple counseling for over 25 years. Usually the process goes like this: healing hurts, creating the team spirit, learning who we are, making a relationship vision, and finally making the vision work. I do not patch up relationships. I help to recreate new ones from the mess of old ones. Visit me at: www.MarriageCounseling.org

I work with couples with the understanding that their relationship is the "client" in the room. However, it is important for each client to realize when they enter a counseling session, they bring with them all of their past/family of origin/hurts/pain/etc that make them who they are. So while focusing on the relationship, they must be aware of how they are contributing to the presenting problems. Communication and conflict resolution are at the core of the work I do with couples.

In the context of the experiential process couples are supported with a safe environment structured to encourage each partner to identify internal states (thoughts and feelings) of the immediate experience/ task that are influencing behavior patterns. Reflection on each person's behavior patterns and how the patterns interact within the context of the experiential activity and process opens the door to behavioral change in the form of new routines, boundaries, and practices as well as developing emotional intelligence skills. The experiential process and techniques allow for an increase in and enhancement of the level of intimacy between the two individuals in the relationship.

After this morning's shooting tragedy in Connecticut, the opinion team gathered to discuss how we should react to the news. We scratched our heads (figuratively) for while. This was horrific no doubt, and worthy of condemnation: 28 people, 18 of them children, dead. But what was left to say that we hadn't said in countless other editorials from countless mass shootings - from Columbine to Aurora and Virginia Tech to Gabby Giffords, and all of them in between?
We've called (and called and called) on our leaders to use the latest killing as an opportunity to start the discussion on changing our crazy gun culture. Here's what we said in an editorial after the Aurora, Col. movie house shooting:
"Since the murders last week in Aurora, Colo., it seems like everyone has a stand on gun control - everyone except politicians.
Is it too much to expect office-holders to lead a discussion about gun policy in an election year?
What's rare is politicians calling attention to pro-gun-restriction positions at a time when people might be listening.
That candidates don't want to rile Second Amendment absolutists right before an election is understandable, but their reticence in the wake of Aurora is not admirable."
That we find ourselves making the same points over and over -- well, that is the point. How many more mass killings will it take before serious discussions about preventing them actually happen? Maybe this was the one.

Tornados drop one to NGUOctober 24, 2009
Crusaders top Tornados 3-0
Brevard, N.C. - The Brevard men were unable to capitalize on scoring opportunities as North Greenville downed the Tornados 3-0 Saturday afternoon.
The win boosts North Greenville to 6-6-1 while Brevard drops to 1-16.
North Greenville scored just eight minutes into the game when Juan Carlos Aguilera scored his first of two goals off of a pass from Seth Snyder. Brevard went on to hold the Crusaders scoreless for the rest of the half before giving up a goal a minute into the second half.
The Crusaders added their final goal when Aguilera scored an unassisted goal with just a minute remaining the game. The Tornados tried to respond with a last second Ian Townson shot in attempt to avoid the shutout but failed when the shot went wide.
Goalkeeper Jack Shaw saved six of nine while his counter, Nick Williams, saved one of one.
The Tornados have two games remaining and will return to action on Wednesday when they travel to Newberry for a 5 p.m. game.

Good point bolexx...no need not share. So here we go....
Dudeman pointed me to some real handy links that ultimately got me the answers that I need. Specifically this one: http://www.corelan.be/index.php/2010...ggs-to-omelet/
When you attach a debugger and trigger the exploit (SEH), you can see parts of your buffer in 2 areas on the current stack frame where you can house shell code. I split the shell code up into 3 123 byte sections, added the appropriate 4 byte tags and used Corelan's omlet hunter code (nasm to compile and their pvereadbin.pl to extract shellcode) to search for the eggs. Unfortunately it never found them....I needed to modify the omlet hunter code to use a different start position.
The omlet hunter code does this basically:
1. Makes EDI point to the bottom of the stack with a "or di, 0xffff"
2. copies that value to EDX
3. Calculates the start location that points to where the shellcode will be re-assembled at and puts this in EDI
4. Begins searching for the shellcode using EDX (which points to bottom of the stack frame) as the starting location
5. puts the tag to search for in EAX and compares the value at the location of EDX with EAX...when found exits the loop and copies the shellcode to the appropriate location.
6. Repeats for all eggs
7. Executes a JMP EDI to jump to start address of shellcode.
If you throw a "xor dx, 0xffff" right before step 4, you will set EDX to the top of the current stack frame (instead of the bottom of the stack frame) and be good to go.
When I was trouble shooting I set a series of breakpoints and stepped through the omelet hunter code...pretty cool to watch if I must say so myself. I basically set a breakpoint at the pop pop ret and f7'd until I hit the omlet hunter shellcode, then set a break point on the instruction right after the loop and hit f9 to get it through the loop. Examined the registers once it hit the break point then repeated. It was a great excersise in getting familiar with the asm and stepping through the shellcode with a debugger. Note omelet hunter code was 98 bytes without any nulls each part was 127 bytes.
The snippet from the final exploit looked like this:
HTML Code:
junk = "\x42"*4
nseh = "\xeb\x06\x90\x90" #short jump back over seh
seh = "\x5b\x2f\x95\x73" #73952F5B pop, pop, ret d3dim700.dll xpsp3
nops = "\x90" * 16
shell = omlet + "\x90\x90" + part3 + ("\x60"*15603) + "\x90\x90" + part1 + "\x90\x90" + part2
buf = ("\x90" * (210000 - len(head+junk+nseh+seh+nops+shell)))

System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
at DotNetNuke.Framework.DefaultPage.OnLoad(EventArgs e) in e:\websites\tvtechnology.com\public_html\Default.aspx.cs:line 791
Recently I bought a device from start-up
company QPlay that—like Chromecast and
the other numerous OTT devices on the
market—allows viewers to access video off
the Web and port to their HDTV set. However,
unlike the others, QPlay makes the decisions
for you in a program guide that can
be controlled by an iPad. Started by former
TiVo execs, QPlay "learns" your tastes and
lines up internet videos—by linking to social
media accounts like Facebook and Twitter—
in a queue (hence the name). You can
skip around or just press "play" and let the
streaming run indefinitely. No more hunting
down what you like on the internet; QPlay
does it for you.
Does it work as an alternative? It's still in
beta and taking feedback from early adopters,
but speaking for myself, old habits die
hard, so it will take some getting used to. For
now, it's just another channel on my OTT
The concept of "pushing" programming
to the viewer as opposed to said viewer
having to search out and "pull" particular
programs has even been cited as one of
the inspirations for the mythical "Apple TV"
tech bloggers have been salivating over for
several years. But that doesn't mean the
current Apple TV device can't have the
same capability as the company demonstrated
earlier this month when it tested
sending real-time "notifications" to its users
of live performances during its annual
iTunes festival.
The concept of content discovery and
"recommendation engines" has been around
for more than a decade (TiVo was among
the first devices on the market to "learn" a
viewer's preferences), but the popularity of
social media and big data have helped the
concept gain even more traction.
And the need for it will only grow stronger,
especially as more consumers reconsider
the costs of pay TV. According to a
recent survey by DigitalSmiths (owned by
TiVo), nearly 31 percent of respondents said
they were "overwhelmed" by the number
of channels offered to them and that more
than 88 percent watch the same channels
over and over. The company added that
these same viewers "may ultimately fail to
see the value of paying for hundreds of
channels but only watching a few."
Perhaps that's why the company added
that it is working with seven out of the
top 10 pay-TV providers in the U.S. to offer
personalized recommendations and forecasts
"broad adoption" of this functionality
in 2014.

Aanderud's Goal Puts Lady Flames over Bucs
Flames Audio:
The Liberty women's soccer team returned to the win column, Wednesday afternoon, opening Big South play at Osborne Stadium with a 1-0 victory over Charleston Southern.
Brittany Aanderud posted the lone goal for Liberty late in the first half, courtesy of a Casey Norris assist.
The Lady Flames move to 6-3 (1-0 Big South) on the season, marking the third straight year Liberty has opened conference action with a victory. Charleston Southern falls to 3-5-1 (0-1 Big South) in 2013.
Goalkeeper Holly Van Noord finished the contest with four saves en route to her sixth shutout of the season. Dana McLaughlin played the full contest in between the posts for Charleston Southern, picking up six saves.
Liberty controlled possession for the majority of the opening period, outshooting the Buccaneers, 17-3. The Lady Flames took five shots on goal in the first 45 minutes, with McLaughlin collecting four saves off attempts by Aanderud and Jaime Bouffard.
After a barrage of shots, Liberty managed to ignite the scoreboard in the 43rd minute. From just past midfield, Norris sent a through ball up to Aanderud. The sophomore then blasted a shot from 25 yards out into the middle of the net. Aanderud's second marker on the season gave the Lady Flames a 1-0 lead heading into halftime.
In the second period, Liberty continued to target the net, putting up 12 shots compared to the Buccaneers' four. Aanderud and Dawn Elmers each contributed a shot on goal for Liberty, resulting in two more saves for McLaughlin.
Charleston Southern's best look at a goal occurred just before the 84th minute. A trio of Buccaneers broke away from the Liberty defense, leaving only Van Noord standing between them and the equalizing goal. Leading scorer Toni Lashley fired a shot at the Lady Flames' net, but Van Noord dove on the ball to collect her fourth and final save of the contest, setting up the 1-0 final.
Liberty outshot the Buccaneers in the contest, 29-7, marking the most shots taken by the Lady Flames, this season. Head coach Jessica Hain's squad also held a 5-0 advantage over Charleston Southern in corner kicks.
Liberty continues Big South play on Saturday, playing host to Campbell. The Camels hold the advantage in the all-time series, 4-2. Game time is slated for 1 p.m.

Friends have asked many questions.
One friend asks: "You say that truth is not obtained from words, much less from scriptures and from gurus, then what is the purport of your talk?"
Truth will not be obtained from my talk - please understand this well. Nobody's words can convey truth. If a thorn gets embedded in your foot, you can use a second thorn to remove it; but once the thorn is out both become equally redundant. My words will not deliver truth, but they can act like the thorn to remove the thorn of illusion of knowledge that you hold as your own. When this happens, my words will have served their purpose and become equally useless.
Words, be they from anybody, do not convey truth. But if words delete words; if words are erased and if the mind is emptied so that words have no hold on it, then of itself the mind attains truth; for truth is nowhere outside, it is within each one of us. Once the mind gives up its habit of looking outward, truth is not difficult to attain. As long as we look to gurus we look outside; as long as we hold on to shastras, we are looking outward. As long as we cling to the cognition of other's words, that which is attained in the "no word," silent states remains unknown.
A poet once went to the seashore. It was early morning: The sun's cool radiance filled the sky. The breeze came with a touch of the waves. The joy of the scene filled the poet's heart too. Delighted he began to dance. Oh the bliss, the joy!.but his thoughts went back to his beloved lying in a hospital. How he wished that she were here beside him to share this beautiful morning. He was a poet, so the scene affected him more. Tears welled up in his eyes but soon he wiped them away. "What if I filled a casket with this beautiful morning and sent it to her?"
He brought a box and lovingly opened its lid to the wafting breeze and the dancing rays. He then sealed it with care and sent it to his beloved, explaining to her how much he had missed her in those lovely surroundings, but that he was sending them to her in a box.
The letter reached: so did the box, but when she opened it there were no rays of the sun, no cool breeze, no glory of the morning that her lover had described. It was only an empty box.
What is at the seashore cannot be carried in a box; and also there is no way to fill the experience of the ocean of truth in the chest of words.

NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Joel Barish thought he was getting the email all entrepreneurs dream of. "I opened my inbox and there's a note from Google ( GOOG)," Barish told me over the phone. "But it was not about an email account. It was about buying my library of content." Barish is founder and owner of DeafNation, an Austin, Texas-based video, news, social networking and special events service for the deaf and hard-of-hearing community. It's a business that clearly should interest Google. The three-person firm hosts roughly 10 to 15 events per year in cities across America that some 800,000 people have attended since 2003. The company's Facebook ( FB) page has roughly 50,000 fans. Its Twitter account has about 15,000 followers. And Deafnation.com fetches roughly 2 million views per month, mostly from several hundred three- to 10-minute videos Barish self-produces about remarkable people from around the world who happen to use sign language. "We focus on uplifting stories my friends want to see," he said. Getting paid to listen to what his audience wants
Barish makes money the old-fashioned way: National advertisers such as Sprint ( S) pay around $5,000 for live event sponsorships. He says he gets $2,000 a month for the banner ads on his site. "I do the deals myself, in fact. I just call the companies up and sell them," he said. When Google representatives began emailing him last year, he initially figured he'd hit Web gold. Like other content producers, he had gotten wind about Google's plans for forging relationships with producers such as Barish, especially to get those videos of his onto YouTube. Robert Kyncl, the company's vice president for content partnerships, talked this year about initiatives in which Google would put real skin in the content game. "We're putting money at risk to catalyze the creative community," he told Peter Kafka at the All Things Digital blog last month. Chris Dale, senior manager of corporate communications at Google, explained to me how Google plays the content game. There are two types of deals: the traditional by-click relationships, used by the vast majority of creators, in which Google retains something like half the take; and the new plan, in which Google coughs up what amounts to cash advances to content producers -- who then earn back the spend as content draws more traffic.

Bob Cantu arrived at the Galen Center on Monday morning and was informed by athletic director Pat Haden he would be USC's basketball coach the rest of the season.
That would normally stun an assistant coach thrust into running a program with little notice, but Cantu has spent years preparing for this chance. He is laid back and easygoing, but his attention to detail and organization makes this an easy transition for the 37-year-old coach.
Although Cantu has spent 12 seasons as an assistant coach at USC, he keeps lists of assistants he would hire if he were a head coach. And not just one list but three lists for the Nos. 1, 2 and 3 assistant coaching positions.
"He is extremely well-organized and does a thorough job," former USC and current UTEP coach Tim Floyd said. "When I got hired, I would have been lost without having him around. He was someone I could rely on.
"He knows how everything works and is extremely conscientious. I think he'll make an excellent coach."
Floyd backed that up a few years ago by driving to Cal State San Luis Obispo and meeting with the school's president for several hours to recommend Cantu for the head-coaching position.
Cantu could probably write a pretty good book on his experiences at USC. He has seen everything, surviving the troubled and turbulent Henry Bibby era, the few-day reign of Rick Majerus, an interim season with Jim Saia, the controversial tenure of Floyd and up-and-down seasons of Kevin O'Neill.
"I've been fortunate to work for some great coaches," he said.
Perhaps Cantu's strength is being able to adapt. He offers specific skills that every coach from Bibby to O'Neill wanted or needed.
Cantu is nothing if not resilient. Most assistant coaches hopscotch around the country in different jobs, but Cantu has earned the trust of several USC coaches and remained over the past 12 years. Haden told him the second half of the season will be a chance for him to earn the job full time, so there will be some internal pressure even if USC is a disappointing 7-10.
"You always have aspirations of becoming a head coach. So it's going to be a great experience, to be able to be a head coach in the Pac-12," Cantu said. "My job is to provide leadership and energy and get our guys focused. Any time something like this happens, it's shocking.
"I've always wanted to be a head coach, and I'm getting this opportunity and I'm definitely thankful to (the administration) for giving me the opportunity to be the interim coach."
USC players were taken aback by O'Neill's firing but comfortable with Cantu taking over the rest of the season.
"I just think we need to stay focused, and Coach Cantu will help us do that," forward DeWayne Dedmon said.
Said point guard Jio Fontan: "For the most part I don't think there's much time to think about (the coaching change)."
Cantu has been more than an organizer for USC. He's recruited some of the best players of the past decade, including forwards DeMar DeRozan and Taj Gibson along with guards Nick Young and O.J. Mayo.
He also recommended some top players that USC coaches did not take, like forward Klay Thompson, who wound up at Washington State.
Over the years Cantu tried to get jobs at Cal State Dominguez Hills and Cal Poly San Luis Obispo but was passed over. The San Luis Obispo snub hurt more because it is his hometown and every summer he returns to run basketball camps for children.
The irony is if Cantu does not impress Haden enough, he will find himself back in the position of convincing another coach to keep him as an assistant. That could be anyone from Pittsburgh coach Jamie Dixon to former New Mexico State coach Reggie Theus.
But Cantu will worry about that after the season. It's more important to try and make a splash during his interim audition.
"I see us having our chances in every game," Cantu said. "There's 14 games left. A lot of things can happen. We have a conference tournament. Anything's possible."

Such a friendly, relaxed and informative walk, it also encompasses some of the history of the area. I would (and have!) recommend to everyone interested in London.
These guys are actual artists and take you away from the Banksies and the teenage taggers. They are passionate about their city and inspire you not to shop at Pret and to look down every little street for something creative and challenging. Super easy to chat to and easy to listen to, if you want a tour that gets you off the high street, get amongst this!
Brilliant tour, Doug was very passionate and took his time to speak to everyone amongst the group and engage in their thoughts and opinions openly. Would 100% recommend to anyone, regardless of background or interests. Will be attending this tour again hopefully next time I am in London - really had my eyes opened to the world of street art, East London and the changing future of subculture.
Our tour guide, Lily, is a french artist living in London. She was great! I've got the learn about the artists, their techniques and the history of the area as well. All the tour guides are artists themselves, which makes it all much more interesting. Highly recommended!
Super informative and fun tour. Our guide Doug knew so much about the history of the area and about the current affairs of the neighborhood he clearly cares so much for. To see the art and hear the stories that come with them was a treat. It had me really thinking about the connectivity that art can foster between people and cultures across the globe. Thanks, Doug!
Such an interesting tour. Doug was amazing, really funny, sincere and passionate. An eye opener on east London from an art and social perspective.
Really Great and wonderful experience ;) Had the tour with Ben Slow who is very knowledgeable and made the tour extremely interesting. I got to know the behind the scenes of this culture and he showed us some great jaw dropping art work. Thanks Ben and thumbs UP ;)
Went on tour with Doug Tuesday, Nov 4. Superb. Knowledgeable, humorous and with a bit of "bite" towards those who do not appreciate and love the East End as he does. Highly recommendable
Awesome tour - great guide (Doug) and sick street art. Recommended to anyone who wants to see some eye-opening art in one of the coolest parts of London :)
Second time on this alternate london tour ; its simply amazing how the streets of East London can be transformed into such a vibrant and electric place by the swashes of intense colour in the graffiti artists' work.
This tour was amazing! I would recommend to anyone and everyone! I never would of been able to see Shoreditch in such artistic detail without the genius insight of our tour guide. They tie the vibrant and diverse street art culture with the rich history of the area and explore the cultural significance of each piece. They also show you parts of the area & art you would of never seen on your own accord, training your eye for future endeavours around London. A brilliant tour for a good cause with funds going back into the local art scene. I would do this tour again in different parts of london & other cities!!! So so so so great :D
What a great way to explore this amazing area. The highlight of our trip. Thanks Doug, Thanks Alternative London Tours for your commitment and passion for this creative community. if you go to london, book a tour!
Amazing! A rich, beautiful side of London in a very informative and entertaining tour! Doug was a great guide, did an amazing job. Highly recomended!!
Awesome tour. doug was great-would 200% recommend it!
A unique way to spend a few hours in London. Afterwards you'll be seeing beauty on the streets that you never really noticed before. Gained some insight to the historical background of East London, enough to keep it interesting without turning into a full blown history lesson! Our guide Doug was inspiring, passionate and knowledgable. Overall a really great and eye opening experience.
An excellent tour with the street artist Ben Slow, a passionate and knowledgeable guide. He took the group through quite a few artistic works around Liverpool Street, showed us how the City is pushing its boundaries into the beautiful old area and made it all very enjoyable.
I've been on 11:00 Saturday tour recently and really enjoyed myself! It was a good time as it wasn't too busy yet in the area. The guide, Ben Slow, was great, passionate about what he does. I even enjoyed the 2 minutes of "educational moaning" about gentrification, especially when some guy in his pajamas looked out from the balcony of one of those "generic monsters" as the guide was pointing at it and shouted "I completely agree, but..."
I thought the tour was informative enough to awake one's curiosity and make one find out more about the street artists we've seen. I had another walk round after the tour and kind of got stuck in the area for the most of the day.
In a nutshell - highly recommended!
Some friends and I tried out the tour today, it was amazing! Very interesting afternoon, got to see some amazing street art! Also reflection on the contrast between the City and East London was promoted, as well as we were provided with a comprehensive piece of history about that area. Will certainly recommend it to other friends!
Definitely the best tour I've been on. Not just in London either. Doug was a great guide. Highly recommended!
The best tour in all of London the energy was infectious and it was fun and informative you have to experience it to believe it
East London is the 'global epicentre of street art' according to Alternative London's walk guide Josh Jeavons. The pay-what-you-want concept tour invites you to judge. Standing on the edge of the City of London this opener registered in my overstatement warning centre. But the reason I was there was because of a Brazilian who calls himself Cranio – although I hadn't made the connection at this point. I passed the artist's signature blue character on my way home from lunch in Hackney Wick one Sunday. He was hunched, wearing a Brazilian football shirt, sweating and balancing a football called Senna on his boot. It pulled me in – I liked it, but I couldn't work it out. The geek in me wanted to know more, so I joined Josh's throng. A two-hour journey started off through Old Spitalfields Market, towards Brick Lane and the mess of posters and graffiti which I've seen without acknowledging countless times before started to separate, like the magic eye posters of my student days. Josh started small, pointing out teeny tiny installations by Welshman Jonesy (not quite global) and a permission painting by Londoner Shok-1. His heart shaped X-ray illustration takes more time than I had to absorb, but I was captured for a moment, studying it against the faint backdrop of the Jamme Masjid mosque call to prayer. As we wound our way through the streets of Shoreditch the artwork got better, opening up a rebel faction that comes to this small part of the capital from places like Florence, Cape Town, Argentina, Puerto Rico, Los Angeles, South Carolina, New York, Portugal, Paris and São Paulo. We were even treated to an offering from our London-born guide himself. It wasn't until I spotted another depiction of Cranio's blue man – this time walking a cockerel, which is being ridden by a monkey – and got the chance to ask our expert about him, that I became a fan. I also realised how lucky I was to see his footballer in Hackney; when I went back for another look it was gone, making way for someone else's spray can. I enjoy his raw political satire, even though I don't fully get it. But that's what art is for, isn't it… triggering a reaction? And that's what east London's street art does on more levels than your average gallery. This mix of artists, both legal and illegal is outstanding. And free. The Tate Modern just got owned.
A great option for those looking for something other than the usual tourist-y stuff in London.
Briliant !! Had a great time !!
Great tour! Highly recommended!!
Great fun! Does what it says on the tin and shows you the best street art pieces out in London
I have done it before with friends from Québec. Just GREAT!
Doug did an amazing job on the tour, left us all with eyes more opened on street art and the development of artistic districts of london. I will recommend this to everyone who goes to london!
I would recommend this tour!!! the tour guide was really funny and knowledgable about street art.
Just been on this tour today and afterwards at home wanted to find out more about all the street artists we were introduced to. Our guide Josh was great. He was funny, interactive and very genuinely knowledgeable about the area and art. It was about 1 and a half hrs, but time went by quickly and the walking pace was just right. There was a big crowd, so book online to guarantee a place.
Without a doubt the best tour I've been on here in London. Guide was funny, interactive, and brilliant in terms of transitions and opinions. I'm here in the UK as a college student from a school in the US and I've been on a lot of boring tours through different places. This was anything but dull.
Amazing! Different styles and influences. The guide Josh is very dynamic and well-informed about history and artistic details. I would also highlight the work of Brazilian graffiti artist Cranio!
Simply amazing ! Had a great time exploring the magical street art of Shoreditch !!
I 100% recommend this tour! Our guide Doug was really dynamic and clearly passionate about street art, and made the tour fun as well as really interesting. It sounds like the tour will change quite a lot because street art is so temporary, so I think I'll be going back in a few months!
It was AMAZING! A must-see for all, tourists and locals alike!
Even in the rain the tour was great. Well educated, entertaining and attractive tour guide, Doug, showed us great pieces of art.
Did the tour last week, definitely recommendable! Lots of street art plus a local guide knowing those guys who created those fantastic pieces personally and though could give us lots of interesting background info. I can't say nothing but: Doug, well done :)
This tour was interesting and informative, totally worth every minute. Doug was great.
I went on the Street Art tour on Tuesday evening, thought it was absolutely amazing. Much more interesting than going to a gallery as it was so interactive and inspiring. As an Art teacher this was really eye opening, and has inspired me to get the students I work with more involved with the beauty of street art. Highly recommend this tour to anyone. I know I will be going on another Alternative London tour when I have the time!
Really well worth doing with an excellent, engaged and interesting tour guide - picking out sights that we'd walked past thousands of times without spotting - made for a really good day out.
Highly recommended! We had an interesting and fun tour with Josh

Five members of the San Diego County delegation to the California Legislature – all Democrats from San Diego – voted to commit the state to spending billions in state and federal dollars on the first segment of a statewide high-speed rail system in the Central Valley. We asked the members to respond to three questions about their decision. Sen. Christine Kehoe and Assembly members Marty Block and Ben Hueso did so. Assemblywoman Toni Atkins sent in a general statement on the project, which appears after the Kehoe, Block and Hueso responses. Sen. Juan Vargas' staff said he was unavailable.
Q: Do you believe it was a risky decision to commit the state to spend billions of dollars on a high-speed rail system with no identified source of future funds for 80 percent of the project?
Kehoe: Infrastructure projects of this size and scope are not usually fully paid for upfront. The construction of the California aqueduct, the UC system and our interstate highways are all examples of major infrastructure projects that were built over decades with ongoing financing. Providing financing in stages is not unusual and I believe that as the construction progresses, California will receive additional federal funding.
USC projects that by 2046, California will have 50 million residents. Without high-speed rail, we will have difficulty affording and physically accommodating the 3,000 new lane miles of highways, the five additional airport runways and the 91 new airport gates that will be needed to meet the transportation demands of that many Californians.
Both California, which will see tens of thousands of new jobs, and San Diego, which will receive an immediate $100 million for transit-related projects in our region, will benefit from the passage of this bill. Improvements to the trolley, and track rehabilitation, grade-crossing improvements and new signals for Amtrak and the Coaster corridors will be made because of this legislation.
Block: This bond package translates to the creation of 450,000 jobs statewide and does not involve any state general fund money in paying back the bond indebtedness. One immediate impact to the San Diego region is an investment of $58 million in bond funds (with the possibility of leveraging another $94 million in federal, state and local dollars) on local projects and jobs we can start now – improving the blue line light rail and upgrading trolley and Coaster crossings and the track near downtown. All these projects are aimed at increasing use of public transportation.
There's no question that taking the first step on high-speed rail is taking a risk – just as every major endeavor has taken exactly the same risk. In California's history we've never had all the money in the bank when we've approved great infrastructure ideas. We took a risk building the California Aqueduct to deliver water to San Diego. We took that risk building our interstate highway system and modern airport facilities. Many doubted we could build the Golden Gate Bridge. We took that risk when we invested in stem cell research.
California is a place of entrepreneurial risk – computer science, bioscience and astrophysics. We don't confuse risk with recklessness, and I believe that high-speed rail is visionary, forward-thinking and a prudent risk. The risks associated with not moving forward are far greater – a lost opportunity, federal funds diverted to other states, lost job-creation, reduced safety for passengers and rail crossings, increased gridlock and air pollution, and increased health effects like asthma.
Hueso: Highways are entirely subsidized by government and are the most expensive mode of travel to build. Highways also do not have a guaranteed funding source. The most certain way to ease gridlock on our highways is to move Californians faster and more efficiently.
Locally, the construction of the San Diego Trolley system has been enormously successful in reducing trips on our highways. Although the trolley system is subsidized, the money that we invested in moving people is millions less than if we had invested in expanding lanes on our highways. The trolley system was built with no guaranteed or reliable future funding source. A guaranteed funding source didn't build our successful light-rail system, a commitment to build it, did. The most recent segment of the trolley, endorsed by many including the U-T, was proposed at a time of deep cuts to our public transit system and its funding uncertain because of competing transit projects nationwide. As we invest in expanding our local light-rail system, we have to offer a smooth transition into a statewide network that makes light rail travel more practical. This is a long-term investment that is going to save taxpayers billions of dollars.
Q: The 2008 state law providing $9.95 billion in bond seed money for the project bans operating subsidies for the train when it is up and running. Would you support a state attempt to evade this requirement, as has been advocated by some project supporters?
Kehoe: No. A future Legislature may consider this issue.
Block: Voters approved the bonds for construction, not operations. I will honor that.
Hueso: The high-speed rail will not need an operating subsidy, it will generate revenue.
Q: Quentin Kopp, who pioneered the push for high-speed rail in California and is former chair of the high-speed rail authority, says the bill Gov. Jerry Brown signed violates the 2008 state law providing train funding in at least four ways. Did you see or hear any legal research before voting to commit to spending billions on the project?
Kehoe: I voted knowing that the legislative counsel had issued an opinion that "the revised business plan complies with the bond act's design characteristics." No doubt a project this big will be taken to the courts and the legal questions will be resolved there.
Block: When Quentin Kopp ran for mayor of San Francisco against Dianne Feinstein, he called himself the "Town Grouch." Apparently, he still enjoys that role. I don't believe that our vote was illegal.
Hueso: SB 1029 is in compliance with Proposition 1A. The legislative counsel provided legislators an opinion that "the revised business plan complies with the bond act's design characteristics." With this judgment in hand, I was confident in the bill's compliance with the law before casting my vote.
Statement from Toni Atkins: When the Legislature sent this bill to the governor for his signature, we did so in the firm belief that California's best days are still ahead of us, if we plan wisely. With our population expected to grow by 20 million people by 2050, we face stark choices about our future quality of life. More than just a high-speed rail line for the Central Valley, the initial phase is the first step in a project that will create jobs, protect the environment, and revitalize California's communities. The bill also enables California to receive $3.2 billion in federal funds and will provide $100 million for local transportation infrastructure. The project will operate under a strict system of oversight and management and has been reviewed by the Legislature's legal counsel.
I believe voters expect their elected leaders to learn from the past, have a vision for the future and to act in the present based upon both. The high-speed rail project meets all of those criteria. The past has taught us that major infrastructure projects – such as our state highway system or the California Aqueduct – improve the quality of our lives and more than pay for themselves by creating jobs and enhancing our state's economic vibrancy. Big vision projects often generate skepticism about cost and feasibility, but California has both the know-how and the commitment to make high-speed rail a success.

A one-page suicide note was left at the home of a couple involved in a murder-suicide last weekend at a Torrance hospital, police said Tuesday.
Police did not reveal specifics about the contents of the typed note.
"(But) based on the note and the detectives' investigation, it appears that he shot his wife because he felt she was suffering," said Torrance police Sgt. Robert Watt. "The family was in shock."
Marlow H. Galbraith, 75, was visiting his wife, Joanna, 75, on the fourth floor of Providence Little Company of Mary in Torrance late Saturday night when he shot her in the upper torso, killing her, before turning the gun on himself.
The handgun was not registered, Watt said.
The couple had lived for years on Towers Street in Torrance.
Joanna Galbraith's medical condition has not been disclosed by either the hospital or police, but a neighbor said she appeared to be in failing health.
Detectives are continuing the investigation and autopsies are scheduled for Wednesday.
