This article appears in the Sept. 10 issue of ESPN The Magazine.
Hey, did you hear the one about the celebrities who were tied up, held hostage at gunpoint and lived to tell about it? It goes something like this:
AP Photo/Lynne Sladky
Antoine Walker was a victim -- why haven't we heard more about that?
On July 9, Antoine Walker and a family member were held hostage in Walker's town house while four armed men made off with valuables and his Mercedes-Benz. Less than three weeks later, Eddy Curry and his family were victims of a similar break-in.
Don't be embarrassed if you've already forgotten about the two players' brushes with death this summer or if you missed them altogether. Neither was a big story. The Washington Post stuck Walker's news on the notes page of its sports section, right between Greg Oden's tonsillectomy and the signing of Wolves rookie Corey Brewer. The St. Petersburg Times ran a brief on Walker and Curry after a Croatia Open update. That's tennis, for those out of the loop.
Two relatively famous athletes are bound and robbed at gunpoint, and it barely cracks the sports page. I have to wonder if the story would be fighting for space with the Vick saga right now if Curry and Walker were the masked gunmen and not the innocent victims. That's right -- innocent victims.
Consciously, we know skin color has nothing to do with who commits a crime and who doesn't, but subconsciously, we're not accustomed to seeing black men, particularly athletes, portrayed as innocent. We're used to them being guilty. You'd be hard-pressed to find anyone who associates three key words in that AP story -- "hulking," "stars," "NBA" -- with victimhood. The sad fact is, when we think of crime and the black athlete, we assume he's had something to do with committing it.
And if we don't, we end up thinking, Who cares? -- believing it to be just another case of a guy's hanging around the wrong people or being in the wrong place. That's what rich black male athletes do, right? They run with posses and start fights in strip clubs. As soon as the Walker and Curry stories made their way across the wires, comments posted on ESPN.com associated the robberies with hip-hop, thugs and the hood. Never mind that both crimes took place in wealthy neighborhoods and who knows what music the gunmen listen to.
"I was living in Boston when Paul Pierce was stabbed, back in 2000," says Lee Igel, a professor in the sports business and management department at NYU. "The first question people asked was, 'What was he doing in a nightclub so late?' Paul was actually at a private party with friends, but people figured he was doing something he shouldn't have been doing, that he brought the stabbing on himself."
The police have made arrests in those July break-ins (they believe the crimes are connected), but you'd have an easier time finding out what Sanjaya's up to these days than learning the progress of the investigations. We just don't care -- not the media, not its consumers. Is it possible that if Curry and Walker were a different color their stories would have been reported more compassionately and embraced more readily?
Sam Ford, a professor at MIT who studies the media, says that when people are presented with an image that doesn't fit their usual views, they look for ways to make it fit. "If the robberies had been a more stereotypical story, it would have gotten more coverage," says Ford. "It would have been easier to tell."
The recent activities of Vick, Tank Johnson and Pacman Jones have done little to challenge accepted stereotypes. Even within the African-American community, black athletes have a hard time living down the rep. "A lot of upper-middle-class black people hear reports about a black athlete and assume he's guilty," Saints linebacker Dhani Jones says. "If he's innocent, they'll see it more as a special case than the norm."
We hold our athletes accountable for their behavior, and the athletes believe it goes both ways. "I don't blame the media for everything," says Wizards center Etan Thomas. "I know negativity sells. But there's a responsibility to show both sides. You can't paint us with broad strokes across an impressionable canvas. People tend to believe everything they read. If someone is shown only one side of a coin, they become convinced the other side doesn't exist."
Or it just gets ignored. Ask Walker and Curry.

The President of Galatasaray says talks with Cesare Prandelli over the Turkish club's coaching vacancy are at an advanced stage.
The Istanbul giants confirmed earlier today that they had opened negotiations with the former Italian national team boss regarding the post.
Now, the head of the club has gone on record to express his confidence that a deal will be done and that Prandelli will begin work as soon as next week.
"The talks are at an advanced stage and are very positive," Unal Aysal told Gala's official television station.
"We are confident about them having a good conclusion. I hope to see Prandelli at work with us by next Monday, July 7."

If you want to create wealth you must either save more or spend less…that's it. Why is it so hard then? Most people have the best intentions when it comes to doing these things, but at the end of the month, when the bills and statements arrive, the letdown begins. You realize that your money has yet again pulled a Houdini and is no where to be found…where did it go…you stand there puzzled, your empty Starbucks cups and Hollywood Video receipts mock your weakness. And so the cycle goes…unless you make a change. Thus, the second of the three investment principles every young person should know:
#2: Pay Yourself First
Most people pay everyone else before they pay themselves. They hope at the end of the month they will have some money left over to put towards savings or investments, but it rarely happens, its too easy to spend money. Paying yourself first means exactly that: when you get your paycheck, before you start paying bills, going grocery shopping, filling your gas tank, etc….take a percentage and put it in savings or investments. If you do this you will never go a month without saving money. At the end of the month you will still probably spend all your money…its what we are all great at, but the savings will already be in the bank, safe and sound.
The easiest way to pay yourself first is to set up automatic fund transfers on the days you receive your paychecks. This way you won't even realize the money is gone, you'll budget and spend according to the new amount. Spending is largely psychological, if you start out with a smaller amount your mind will tell you that you have to spend less, be more frugal.
Finally, an example of the power of paying yourself first from financial educator David Bach, author of "The Automatic Millionaire":
"Let's assume you make $50,000 a year. That's about $2,000 every two weeks, which is how most people are paid. So to save 10 percent of your income, which is less than an hour a day of savings, you'd have to save $200 every two weeks — or $14 a day.
If you invested $200 every two weeks for 35 years in a retirement account that earned an annual return of 10 percent what would you have? Quite a pot of gold: $1,678,293.78."
**Author's Note: I actually pay myself second, I give the first 10% of my income to my local church, also known as tithing…but the principle remains the same.

To: Frank Gleasure, 28 Herrick Street, Brighton, Mass. U.S.A.
Dear Frank,
Just a few lines to let you know that I received your letter a few days ago and was glad to hear from you. We are getting very bad weather over here now, we are all in good health as I hope you and Joe are two. We have got Ned Carroll at the shop now for the last six or seven weeks, his brother Henry is not very well for the last week or ten days the priest and Doctor is attending him. I don't think he will do by what I hear them saying. We have got another new teacher she seems to be something better than the last one we had. I did not go to the races this year but all the others went to them. Ned and I had to stop and mind the place because father went to the island two days. There was a great scuffle the first evening of the races in the shop but the police were outside the door and they soon put a stop to it. I went out in the evening of each day for about an hour and a half. We had the big fair last Monday there was a great crowd of people in town. The three of us were kept busy the whole till about 8 oclock in the evening Did you get the fiddlers photo that I send in my last letter I suppose you got the papers that I sent you a short time ago I will close now as I have no more to say at present. Hopeing to hear from you soon again I remain
Your loving sister
P.S Fathers sister said that she would like you to write to her.

Hi all,
We adjusted the coding of the Jetpack plugin to place the social sharing system directly below the post title, however now this is creating an undesired effect in the blog's featured slider system. How can we remove the icons and/or just have the title show up since this is taking over too much of the images?
Example: http://broadwaysbestshows.com/buzz/news/
Hi Andy,
Try adding the following CSS to your Quick CSS (located under the Styling Tab in the theme options) or the custom.css file in the css folder of your theme files:
#top .featured_post_slider .featured_inner_slider .sharedaddy.sd-sharing-enabled {
display: none;
That will remove the sharedaddy icons on the slideshow.
Works perfectly!

Power chiefs look to hydro as alternative to 'unreliable' wind
Hydro schemes are next focus for power companies as Alex Salmond opens Scotland's largest wind farm at Whitelees, in Lanarkshire
ScottishPower executives yesterday admitted they are exploring sites for new hydro-electric schemes because of the unreliability of wind power.
The news came as Alex Salmond opened Europe's biggest onshore wind farm, at Whitelees, in Lanarkshire, which has 140 turbines capable of producing 322 megawatts of electricity - enough to power 180,000 homes.
The First Minister said that the SNP government had approved plans to increase its capacity by 130MW, enough to power a further 70,000 homes.
However, experts concede that yeterday's conditions - bright and windy - do not always prevail, and that the only proven way of storing wind-produced energy is to link it to a pump-storage hydro scheme.
This uses surplus electricity to pump water to a high-level reservoir where it can be…

Respiration can be represented by a sinusoidal waveform, where inspiration levels off gradually as your lungs get full, and expiration levels off gradually as your lungs become empty. The flow is greatest in the middle of inspiration or expiration, which can be represented by the rising and falling signature of the sine wave. The top peak represents when your lungs are essentially full, and the bottom peak or nadir represents when your lungs are essentially empty.
The top peak represents the instant when you were inhaling at the highest flow rate, that is, the highest number of liters per minute. Your lungs have not yet stopped filling with air, as that happens when the flow rate drops to zero and starts to become negative.
Quote:My best guess is that the xPAP does this by constantly measuring the back pressure from the patient's breathing system against what it knows the therapeutic pressure to be at any particular moment (even with a steady or fixed therapeutic pressure, as you breath in the system pressure naturally lowers a bit, and as you breath out it increases a bit), and that can be graphed as a respiration waveform.
It's much simpler than that. It makes use of a flow rate meter and simply measures the flow rate. The number of liters per minute of air flowing through the hose towards your face.
There is an adjustment of the reading to establish the zero, which is the machine's best guess at when the patient's lungs have made a transition from positive air flow (inhalation) to negative (exhalation).

Zimbabwe: government lays claim to church-run farm
The Zimbabwean government has laid claim to the church-run Driefontein farm in Masvingo - in violation of a pledge not to take over farms run by religious organisations. The farm, where one of the country's biggest infectious diseases hospitals, Driefontein Mission Hospital is based, is owned by the Catholic Church. The hospital is the main referral centre for tuberculosis patients in Masvingo, parts of Midlands and Mashonaland east provinces. The government issued a Section 8 order against the farm last Friday. Under the government's Land Acquisition Act, the order is a formal notice on the church to wind up operations and vacate the property within 90 days from the date of issue. Lands Minister Joseph Made, in charge of the land acquisition programme, could not be reached yesterday to establish whether the government also planned to take over the hospital. An official at the Catholic Diocese of Gweru under which Driefontein falls said the church had not yet been officially informed of plans by the state to take over the farm. He said: "We have not been advised of the intention by the government to compulsorily take over the farm. However, we will discuss the matter this coming week and see how we can respond." Before Zimbabwe's independence in 1980, the Catholic Church built schools and hospitals at farms it owned across the country to provide education and health care services to blacks who were marginalised by the country's former white rulers. President Robert Mugabe was educated at the Catholic-run Kutama Mission in his Zvimba rural home. Out of Zimbabwe's 124 mission hospitals, 47 are run by the Catholic Church making it the country's second biggest provider of health care services after the government. Source: ZW News

A young man in Nigerian schooling at Toledo University, Ohio, in the United States (US), Victor Chukwueke, is more than grateful to God, as he recently survived a serious medical condition due to the help of kind strangers.
Chukwueke says he was treated as an outcast in his home country of Nigeria because of a condition causing large tumors to grow on his face.
In order to have a better life, Chukwueke's parents went out of their way to sought for medical help but Nigerian doctors could not help them. They decided to seek help from the missionary nuns and at the age of 15, he was taken to Michigan, where he underwent nine surgeries by one of the best doctors.
Watch video below:
At that point the little boy decided to take up the challenge of helping others, as he is now months away from becoming a doctor. Speaking on the challenges of getting into medical school, the young man said:
"I couldn't start medical school, because I'm not a U.S. citizen."
PAY ATTENTION: Get all the latest gossips on NAIJ Gossip App
So Chukwueke worked with Michigan Senator Carl Levin on a private bill, granting him permanent residency. Private bills are rare to pass Congress. In fact, it hadn't happened in two years, but on the last day of the legislative session, Congress passed the bill. President Obama signed it into law in 2012.
Watch video below:
Chukwueke said: "Tears of joy and now I can go to medical school."
Now, he awaits residency match day on March 17, to see if and where he will get his training. From there, Chukwueke plans to use the skills he learned to help others in Nigeria.
"I experienced firsthand how a lack of medical care can affect life," he said.
Chukwueke considers his tumor a blessing in disguise because he wouldn't be where he is today without it.
God if faithful!

A memorandum prepared at the request of the California Health Benefit Exchange by the UC Berkeley Center for Labor Research and Education and the UCLA Center for Health Policy Research
Executive Summary
- A Basic Health Plan increases overall coverage in California between 60,000 and 120,000 under the base scenario. Under the enhanced scenario, the change in coverage over the no‐BHP model ranges from a 20,000 increase to a 70,000 decrease depending on response to the BHP.1
- We find no negative impact on the risk mix in the overall Exchange/Individual Market as a result of a Basic Health Program.
- A Basic Health Program would reduce the size of the Exchange between 720,000 and 950,000 individuals. This could limit the Exchange's bargaining power in the individual market, and may affect its ability to generate reforms that would lower the rate of premium cost growth overtime.
- These results assume a $20 per person per month premium in the BHP. A higher premium would reduce the gains in coverage; a lower premium would potentially improve response. [...]

NORTH AUGUSTA, S.C. (WJBF) – North Augusta City Council is rushing to meet Project Jackson deadlines before the end of the year.
On Monday, there's a Special Called City Council Meeting where leaders are hoping to pass a $5,000 bond to check-off legal requirements in order to finance the project.
After the meeting, council is set to discuss the stadium rental agreement during an executive session.

Episode Summary: Nihito asks Fiona to show proof of her claim, and she produces a royal medallion which is confirmed to be real by one of the guards who was at the palace when it burned down years ago. Fiona goes on to accuse Nihito as having a part in her family's death due to a small cuff link of Nihito's that she had in her possession. Nihito retaliates by taking Fiona hostage and running up to the tower when Ker confronts him, and nearly loses his life. Allison and Wil fly their plane close to the tower which creates a strong wind that blows Nihito off the balcony which kills him. Later, Wil figures out that Fiona is not actually Francesca, and Fiona goes on to tell how she met Francesca the night of the fire, but only learned much later that she was her older twin sister.

|Half Baths
|Property type
Hummingbird House is a new villa with ocean views and a private swimming pool just a two-minute walk from Bottom Bay Beach - an out-of-the-way 150 meter strip of breathtaking white sand and coconut trees sandwiched between two sea cliffs. It is arguably the most beautiful beach in Barbados.
The villa is available for rentals of five days or more and features three air-conditioned bedrooms and a well-appointed, nicely equipped kitchen with stainless steel appliances. The living room has comfy lounge seating for six with a widescreen LCD HDTV and the master bedroom features an en-suite bathroom and a walk-in closet. The spacious covered back patio is exposed to a refreshing sea breeze and overlooks a private pool with beautiful ocean views.
The Bottom Bay Region:
Bottom Bay is on the southeast coast of Barbados in the parish of St Philip, a scenic out-of-the-way area in eastern Barbados. As Barbados is only about 21 miles long (North-to-South) by 14 miles wide (East-to-West), nothing on the island is too far away, and most places are within an easy 30-minute drive. Much of the sea coast in St. Philip is made up of a series of scenic, ragged coastal cliffs that are punctuated occasionally by idyllic white-sand beaches such as Bottom Bay (which is in our opinion the most beautiful of these - although we're admittedly a bit biased).
While most of the big hotels and resorts on the island are situated along the west coast, the quieter southeast coast and the east coast offer the breathtaking views and rugged natural scenery that make Barbados an island paradise. In addition to the picturesque Bottom Bay Beach, the world-famous Crane Beach and Sam Lords Castle beachfront are within 10 minutes drive. If you're looking for fine dining nearby, the Crane Resort has two aclaimed restaurants, and the busier south and west coasts are 20-30 minutes drive away. We highly recommend the inexpensive, low-key nightly "Fish-Fry" at Oistins (on the south coast in Christ Church), home of the Island's biggest fish market.
Bridgetown's harbor and shopping are a 25-30 minute drive away (if you avoid rush hour traffic), and renowned golf courses at the Barbados Golf Club and Sandy Lane Resort (where Tiger Woods was married) are just 15 & 30 minutes away, respectively.
Getting Around:
We highly recommend renting a car for getting around the island, but regular buses are also available and taxis can be called as alternatives. Many car rental companies will drop off and pick up cars to our villa, making the experience fairly painless.
Keywords: Villa
Our wonderful experience started with Jan and John, the couple that manage the property. They had asked for our flight information and were expecting us when we showed up in the driveway. Jan and John made sure that we knew everything about the property, the area and gave us great tips on what to see and do during our stay. Their welcome was the prelude to the warm and friendly hospitality that is prevalent on this island.
The property is very well maintained. Even though there is an indoor dining area, we ate, sat and gathered exclusively at the outdoor dining room table in the covered area by the pool. The kitchen was well stocked and we especially enjoyed the fridge that spit out plenty of crushed ice that made a great base for our ``Hummingbird Rum Punch``. Although there is air conditioning, after the first couple of nights, we acclimatized and just let the ocean breeze that blew through the open windows cool us down.
Stepping outside through the double French doors each morning, we were greeted by the sunrise, a magnificent view of the ocean breaking over the offshore reef in the distance and the sounds of the surf.
We often heard comments from the locals that Bottom Bay was the best beach on the island; and we can attest to that. The cove is picturesque; the sand is beautiful, the water clear blue and the beach extremely clean. The ocean is a little rougher on the south eastern coast but our group enjoyed playing in the surf.
A rental car is a must. While it took a little getting used to driving on the "wrong side" of the road, the drivers are very courteous and make allowances for tourists. You will get lost! But who cares, the island is small and even a series of wrong turns won't get you too far off track.
So much to do – not enough time. Don't miss: Oistins Friday night party, the BBQ fish fry near the villa at the Church, St. Lawrence Gap (night life and restaurants). Drive the island. We especially enjoyed our coastal trip around the entire island. The view from the northern cliffs around Cluffs Bay is breathtaking and stopping off at Round House on the east coast for Coconut pie rounded out the day as the sun set on the surfers riding the waves below. Our favorite restaurants were L'Azure at the Crane (it was our anniversary), Pisces in the St Lawrence Gap, Round House and hanging out on Cutters' patio.
We had a great time and look forward to returning to Hummingbird House.
Great vacation at Hummingbird House. We were greeted by Jan upon our arrival and she made sure that we had everything we needed during our stay.
The house was functional and very clean with a great view of the ocean by the pool.
This place was absolutely spectacular. It was very quiet; however consisted of all the amenities necessary for an island stay. The view in the morning overlooking the pool area was breathtaking. I would highly recommend this place. I look forward to staying here again. Please visit the nearby beaches. We enjoyed the Crane Resort and the beach is breathtaking. Although Bottom Bay beach water seemed a little rougher, the exclusivity of the beach was well worth the visit. While visiting Barbados, we enjoyed the nightlife at St. Lawrence Gap. After this wonderful vacation, Barbados is now my top holiday location. The villa will not disappoint at all. It is well maintained and after the day at the beach, the villa was a welcoming site, especially the pool.
this house was beautiful and had all the amenities we needed. There was a couple who is taking care of the houses for the owner in the area and they were very hospitable and we're there if we needed anything. the beach was probably the most beautiful on the island. this was our second time to barbados and we have an even better time than the first. the pool and sheets and towels were all very clean. we ended up renting scooters instead of a car as the places we wanted to see were within 10 mins away. we had to remember turn on the water heater a half hour before showering because we took showers at night and the water was solar heated. all in all it was a beautiful stay.
Location was excellent. Hummingbird House is lovely with a sensational sea view. It was well equipped. Property managers were attentive, informative and non-intrusive. Barbados is now our top Caribbean destination.
My famIlya of 5 spent 5 days at this villa.. it was great for us, the pool was awesome as the youngest one enjoyed wading in it while I cooked
Everything was good only thing that the location of Villa would require to have a rental car which we had rented and was able to tour through island
Great price. , very clean and comfortable !!!

The home was originally built in 1880 as a summer spot for the F.H. Betts Family. In the 30's the Fulton Cutting Family bought the vacation home and have owned it ever since.
Now, the three story, beachfront property is up for grabs, a once in a lifetime opportunity.

Smit Salvage has been besieged with calls ever since a Norwegian-registered ship with thousands of luxury cars on board sank late last year in the English Channel.
The callers -- used car salesmen, junkyard dealers and modern-day treasure hunters -- guessed correctly that the Rotterdam company was the likeliest candidate to raise the sunken ship, the Tricolor, and its cargo of 2,871 BMWs, Volvos and Saabs, worth about $40 million.
What they did not fully consider was the corrosive effect of eight months of being under saltwater; but neither were they aware of demands by the cars' manufacturers that not so much as a stray nut or bolt find its way from the sea floor to a store shelf. The carmakers feared possible liability claims.
Sitting in his office overlooking the Erasmus bridge here, Smit Salvage's managing director, Hans van Rooij, said there was not much one could salvage anyway. Everything, from the cars' engines to their electronics, was lost, most of all that new car smell.
''It's gone,'' he said with a smile. ''It's long gone.''
Smit, a division of one of the world's largest maritime services companies, Smit Internationale N.V., and several partner companies are just days into a 35 million euro, ($39.7 million) three-month salvage of the 20,000-ton Tricolor, one of the most complex and difficult operations in the company's history.Continue reading the main story
Smit is the same company that two years ago raised the Russian submarine Kursk, which sank in the Barents Sea in August 2000 with two nuclear reactors and 22 Cruise missiles on board. Its crew of 116 sailors and two civilians died.
There was no human tragedy in the Tricolor's sinking; almost miraculously, its entire crew survived despite the ship's quick descent into dark, wintry waters.
With everyone safely ashore, the Tricolor's demise left something else hanging in the balance: the fragile images of luxury car companies.
Smit said the manufacturers were concerned that pictures of their smashed vehicles, sparkling with saltwater, could become public. Try as it did, Smit was unable to prevent just that from happening.
''When we are in the middle of the ocean, we can control things,'' Mr. van Rooij said. That proved more difficult in the Belgian port where the first section of the Tricolor now rests.
''We can't put curtains up and stop people from making photographs,'' he said.
In the early hours of Dec. 14, the Tricolor sank about 20 nautical miles off the coast of Belgium, in French waters, after a collision with the Kariba, a container ship. The Tricolor's 24-member crew was rescued.
''It's actually amazing that they got off the vessel because it happened very quickly,'' said Ivar Brynildsen, claims manager for Wilhemsen Insurance Services, a division of the company that leased the Tricolor. ''They were swimming around in the water,'' he said, referring to the night as ''cold and dark.''
The Tricolor -- the size of a 10-story apartment building -- quickly sank, and has been lying on its side in about 130 feet of water. The wreck -- 623 feet long and 105 feet wide -- was subsequently hit by two other ships, further damaging its already weakened hull. Making matters worse, oil began leaking from the vessel, ending up on nearby beaches.
Smit realized early on that the Tricolor -- damaged and twice as heavy as the Kursk -- could not be raised whole. So it set about devising a plan to cut the ship into nine sections, each weighing from 2,000 to 3,000 tons.
The company erected two, four-legged platforms on either side of the Tricolor and then ran a saw cable or cutting wire between them. The first section -- containing the propeller -- was sawed off last Sunday.
Before a section is hoisted, about 40 holes are drilled into its side, allowing two cranes to hoist it onto a pontoon ship, which then transports it and the remnants of the cars it was carrying to the Belgian port of Zeebrugge.
The challenges of the Tricolor salvage are compounded by its location: a crossroads of one of the world's busiest sea lanes, between the Belgian and English coasts.
Sea traffic and strong currents limit the salvage effort to eight hours a day compared with the Kursk wreck, on which Smit worked around the clock. Smit has from 150 to 200 people at the Tricolor site.
''It's an enormous, busy place,'' Mr. van Rooij said. ''Lots of vessels are passing day and night. Small vessels, big vessels. And we are in the middle of it.''
Smit's assignment from the car manufacturers is a tough one: find every possible part. The companies prefer that not a single screw remain on the sea floor.
The reason is simple. Should a car part salvaged from the Tricolor wreck ever find its way into a car in the United States and malfunction, its manufacturer could conceivably face liability claims.
BMW, which lost about 300 cars in the Tricolor wreck, is adamant that that not happen.
That is why Smit -- in conjunction with the carmakers and insurance companies -- decided against a burial at sea for all of those BMWs, Volvos and Saabs that sank.
They are slated for the shredder.Continue reading the main story

Distributed sensor failure detection in sensor networks
We investigate the problem of distributed sensors' failure detection in networks with a small number of defective sensors, whose measurements differ significantly from neighbouring sensor measurements. We build on the sparse nature of the binary sensor failure signals and propose a new distributed detection algorithm based on Group Testing. The distributed GT algorithm estimates the set of defective sensors by a low complexity distance decoder from a small number of linearly independent binary messages exchanged by the sensors. We first consider networks with one defective sensor and determine the minimal number of linearly independent messages needed for detection of the defective sensor with high probability. We then extend our study to the detection of multiple defective sensors by modifying appropriately the message exchange protocol and the decoding procedure. We show through experimentation that, for small and medium sized networks, the number of messages required for successful detection is actually smaller than the minimal number computed in the analysis. Finally, simulations demonstrate that the proposed method outperforms methods based on random walks in terms of detection performance and convergence rate.

A "very cold" low-pressure system swooping in from the Arctic will bring colder than normal temperatures to Southern California this week, so forecasters say to enjoy Monday's warm weather while it lasts.
The high in downtown Los Angeles on Monday is projected to be 77, but the rest of the work week will be in the low 60s, said weather specialist Stuart Seto of the National Weather Service in Oxnard.
"Today will be the last of the warm ones," Seto said.
The normal high in downtown L.A. for this time of year is 73, which means that after Monday it will be about 10 degrees cooler than normal.
Although Seto said that the low-pressure system is "going to bring a cold snap to our area Wednesday through Friday," he also said the system will not carry much moisture.
There is a chance of showers Tuesday in Los Angeles, he said.
Seto said Southern Californians might want to "wear a jacket and maybe grab an umbrella Tuesday into Wednesday."

For those who love to play with games, it really is frustrating whenever they happen to stick in a single spot for a long time. Occasionally, it becomes nearly impossible to cross a hurdle. With no help, it is not that easy to cross some phases. In that situation, the only real option will be to use cheats. The good thing is that cheats are accessible. Individuals are merely needed to locate a reliable website from where they are able to have the cheats.

UPDATE: It is our understanding that a federal judge has blocked President Obama's new overtime pay rule which was set to take effect on December 1st. The judge's ruling is a temporary measure that suspends the regulation nationwide until further notice. The rule would increase the salary level test for white collar exempt employees from $455 per week ($23,660 annually) to $913 per week ($47,476 annually). We will post updates as they are released.

The suspect is black.
At least seven churches were set ablaze since Oct. 8, 2015. All are in the St. Louis, Mo. area and nearly all are in a black neighborhood.
Damage to most of the churches was minimal.

Police have made an arrest in connection with a two-week string of church arsons, most of which occurred at places of worship in black neighbourhoods, the
St. Louis Post-Dispatch has learned. The suspect is a black man in his 30s, according to a police source.
Investigators are expected to seek criminal charges against him Friday.
The string of fires, many of which did minimal damage, drew attention of local and federal investigators. The locations drew speculation of whether it was a hate crime.
The targeted structures were:
—Oct. 8: Bethel Nondenominational Church in Jennings, near the St. Louis city limit
—Oct. 10: New Northside Missionary Baptist Church in Jennings
—Oct. 14: St. Augustine Catholic Church in St. Louis
—Oct. 15: New Testament Church of Christ in St. Louis, less than four blocks from St. Augustine
—Oct. 17: New Life Missionary Baptist Church in St. Louis
—Oct. 18: Ebenezer Lutheran Church in St. Louis
—Oct. 22: Shrine of St. Joseph in St. Louis
The final fire, at the historic shrine downtown, appeared to break the arsonist's geographical pattern.

Offensive lines can dramatically affect the play of your fantasy team. Quality line play can turn a good running back into a great one (see
In breaking down the O-lines, I have tried to steer clear of the obvious calls. Dallas, New England, Indy and San Diego all have great fantasy players and great lines. By the same token, Detroit, Miami, Baltimore and Houston are afflicted by terrible line play, on top of having few fantasy players of impact. No need to tell you what you already know.

A Cinderella story, outta nowhere, the Cleveland Browns surprised a lot of people last season, due in large part to their improved offensive line. The line provided plenty of time for QB
The Carolina front office and coaching staff appear to have disjointed objectives when it comes to the offensive line. The team moved to a zone blocking scheme last year to account for the lack of size across the offensive line, but someone forgot to tell GM
The Packers are another zone blocking team that relies on guile and athleticism over brute force. This strategy helps them immensely in the passing game, where they allowed the fewest sacks-per-pass attempt in the league. The running game wasn't as solid, although it took the Packers until week nine to settle on
For all their O-line injuries last season, the Rams may as well have traveled to their games in an ambulance. The list of injuries is as long as my arm, but LT

It is a given that the Vikings have a quality O-line, but folks may not appreciate exactly how good it is. The pressure on this group is immense. First, everyone in the stadium knows that the Vikings will be running the ball on the majority of their plays, and yet they do it anyway, while generating half a yard per carry better than any other team in the league. Additionally, the team needs to provide as much time as possible for still-developing QB
If the NFL gave an award for Most Improved Offensive Line in '07, it would go to the Bucs. This is the outcome of good planning, as the team spent the last several years focusing on upgrading this unit. The Bucs boast two excellent young guards in

Jameis Winston pranked a teammate on a bus ride (Video)
Florida State quarterback Jameis Winston has been known to have a goofy sense of humor. That was on display when he pranked teammate Cameron Erving on Monday.
Winston and some teammates, including Erving, were on a bus trip on Monday when Erving, a 6-foot-6, 302-pound offensive lineman, fell asleep in a pretty awkward position with his head leaning into the aisle of the bus.
That left a perfect opportunity for Winston to mess with the first team All-ACC lineman.
As you can see, Winston got a lighthearted response from Erving, who was all smiles even after the 6-foot-4, 235-pound quarterback fell on him.
Well played, Jameis.

|Lord, make me an instrument of your peace. Where there is hatred, let me sow love. Where there is injury, pardon. Where there is doubt, faith. Where there is despair, hope. Where there is darkness, light. And where there is sadness, joy. St. Francis

You think it's tough being a dragon? It's a piece of cake compared to being a phoenix shifter. Dragon shifters just have to worry
about accidentally setting their stuff (or a loved one) on fire. A phoenix can rise from the ashes, but then they have to start over... as if

Meet Lt. Jayce Fierro of the Boston Fire Department, and Kristine Scott of the FDNY. A long distance relationship could never work?especially not with the

What do tattooed butts, the Mafia, and a medical student have in common? Tonia Fuller!
Tonia, a blonde bombshell with a bust to make a Barbie doll weep, is a klutz. Wearing four-inch spike heels, and already top heavy, her center
of gravity is elusive. When hunky medical student Raphael Beauchamp comes to her rescue twice, he thinks he knows why Tonia's falling. It's
those ridiculous designer stilettos.
Tonia takes a tumble down some stairs, resulting in a nasty concussion. Since she's new in Boston she has no one to stay with her. Raphael opts
to look after this headstrong beauty rather than risk second impact syndrome, which can be fatal. Raphael discovers that Tonia's the ex-wife of a Las Vegas
mafia don. She has half an offshore bank account number tattooed on her butt, and someone's after her. A normal person would don a pair of running
shoes and get the hell out of Boston. But it's too late for Raphael. Tonia's not the only one who's been falling.

Kendra Dempsey took her gangster boyfriend's money and ran. The problem is, it was supposed to be split three ways. Going back to Las Vegas
is out of the question, so she goes after the fresh start she needs. Indulging her fantasy of living in paradise, escaping the mob and having a career that utilizes
her drawing talent, she moves to Hawaii and apprentices as a tattoo artist. Since all the mobsters are in prison now, she can finally relax, right?
Jake Jensen is a cop assigned to work his first undercover assignment at a suspected chop shop, Bump and Grind Auto Body, but he doesn't look the part. The quickest
thing he can do to roughen his clean-cut edges is to let his hair grow and get some cool tattoos. When the dyslexic tattoo apprentice makes a mistake in the lettering,
will he be a laughing stock? Should he blow his cover and help her when she's in more danger than he is?

Find the Wild Things
Point Reyes goes Animal Planet in March. Offshore, gray whales breach en masse; see them from Chimney Rock or Point Reyes Lighthouse. On the beaches 5,000-pound elephant seals loll about; it's less than a quarter mile walk to a viewing area from Chimney Rock. And in the air, more than 200 species of birds take wing; view showy types like ruddy turnstones from Tomales Bay or Drakes Estero. Base yourself at the suitably wild Blackthorne Inn ($225; www.blackthorneinn.com), which offers tree-house rooms near the shore.
Easy Ride in the Desert
This month Death Valley's notoriously sizzling pavement is better suited for road biking than egg-frying. From the Furnace Creek Campground ($18; www.nps.gov/ deva) pedal 18 miles past patches of wildflowers to Badwater, the lowest point in the Western Hemisphere; add another nine miles on the way back by chugging up the one-way road to Artist's Drive. Furnace Creek is conveniently central. Got a few extra days? Sign up with Berkeley-based Backroads for its five-day Death Valley Multisport ($1,998; www.backroads.com) and get shuttled through the desert in bloom.
Pray for Rain
You'll get wet in March on Washington's Olympic Peninsula, but that's precisely the point--temperate rain forests are the hallmark of soggy Olympic National Park. At night dry out on Olympic's western slopes in one of Kalaloch Lodge's 44 log cabins ($119; www.visitkalaloch.com). The oceanfront rooms offer VIP seating for thunderous Pacific storms and instant access to seven beaches stretching nine miles. The heart of the park, the mossy, ferny, old-growth Hoh Rain Forest is just 20 miles away.
Watch Talladega Nights
Dugger Mountain Wilderness, in Talladega National Forest (256-463-2272), occupies the most remote, lovely, and rugged corner of the state, and the 120-mile, shelter-dotted Pinhoti Trail crosses right through it. For a weekend-size chunk, pick up the trail at the Highway 278 trailhead seven miles east of Piedmont and hike south. The path climbs to ridgetops and drops to streams in a forest of mixed pine, chestnut oaks, hickory and maple. The first shelter is on Oakey Mountain (8.7 miles); the Dugger shelter is seven miles farther. Watch for pinhoti (what the Creek Indians called wild turkeys) and abundant spring wildflowers, including orchids and hepaticas.
Paddle the Blueway
Lost is a state of mind, not a rescue emergency, for paddlers on the well-marked, hundred-mile Great Calusa Blueway near Fort Myers. Crystal clear waterways trace estuaries, islands and forests of chocolate mangrove. Expect to see manatees and dolphins; hope for sea turtles and stingrays. The Tropic Star ferry (a craft originally built for Walt Disney World) departs from Pineland on Pine Island and will drop you and your boat off on the white sand of the Cayo Costa State Park campground ($45 a day for kayak rental and ferry service; www.tropicstarcruises.com), an ideal departure point for a daylong paddle.
Kayak Down, Ride Up
What paddler hasn't dreamed of riding a motorized boat lift back to the put-in? That's the drill at the new U.S. National Whitewater Center (www.usnwc.org) just outside Charlotte: Run a mile of concentrated Class II-IV rapids in man-made channels beside the Catawba River, paddle over to a conveyor belt, ride up and do it all again. Skilled paddlers can access the kayak lift for $25 a day. Beginners can get a two-hour lesson in the instruction channel ($70).

01 Dec Time to Start Holiday Shopping…and Making!
Posted at 21:35h in Crafty Gift Guide, News, Sewing, Yarn 0 Comments
It's December 1st, and it's time to start thinking about presents (if you haven't already). JP Knit & Stitch is here with crafty inspiration, whether the people on your list are makers too, or all about a final product. Here are our favorite gift ideas this week.
- We love kits, and the embroidered pendants from Red Gate Stitchery are super chic. Made of laser cut bamboo, each kit comes with everything you need to stitch up a super stylish necklace that's colorful and nature inspired. And since you're stitching in wood instead of fabric, it's really easy!
- If you're looking for a gift for a knitter, how about our JP Knit & Stitch knitting kit? It comes with everything a beginning knitter needs (and all the tools an intermediate knitter like me is always losing)! Don't want the tools? We sell just the awesome zippered pouch, make by EnviroTote and designed by Taylor McVay, too!
- We can't get over the cuteness of these DIY Embroidered Doll Kits from Kiriki. The bear is shown here, and we also have kittens, foxes, owls, and–of course–sloths!
- It's another amazing item from Taylor McVay: the Cabin pattern from Blueprints for Sewing! Whip up a top for your next holiday party, then make the shift dress for your favorite stylish friend. Or get the sewer on your list the pattern and a spot in our Cabin Shift + Shirt Workshop in January! (And don't forget to come to the Blueprints for Sewing Cabin Release Party on Friday.)
- One more kit because we can't resist! We've carried Threadfollower animal kits for a long time, and Charlotte Fox is the newest kit. Once she's sewn up, grab a bit of extra felt to make her a whole wardrobe!
- And lastly, yarn! We grabbed two of our newest and most festive arrivals. Fat & Sassy Merino, our very thickest yarn, and Kin Gin, a sparkly lace weight. Hold them together to make a super-fast, super-cute cowl, or just use them as holiday decor!
