Place of Birth
Since she has appeared nude in Playboy magazine before, it should come as no surprise that Torrie Wilson has plenty of naked and topless photos online. This is a really sexy picture of the former WWE diva being topless. She is wearing a bikini bottom, but it is rather skimpy.
March 26, 2014
Since they're heavily featured on Monday Night Raw, Smackdown and Total Divas, the Bella Twins have gained quite a bit of popularity over the last year. Naturally, WWE fans have wondered if we will ever seen Nikki Bella and Brie Bella posing nude in Playboy magazine any time soon. While they would sell quite a bit of copies, WWE has to avoid that connection right now because of advertisers and sponsors.
March 22, 2014
Since the company has adopted a PG image, the move is unlikely to happen, but those backstage in WWE believe that Summer Rae would have definitely been given the Playboy photo shoot nod had she been in professional wrestling a couple of years earlier. Summer Rae would have definitely been featured in a nude photo shoot when WWE allowed that sort of thing.
March 21, 2014
Since she is unlikely to show up naked in Playboy magazine anytime soon, wrestling fans have flocked online to see if they can find a wardrobe malfunction video, in order to get more of a glimpse of Summer Rae. This clip, which barely shows her purple thong, has proven to be a highly viewed video on YouTube.
March 20, 2014
While some have dismissed it as being just a rumor, there are actually some Alundra Blayze nude photos floating around somewhere. Back in 1987, she posed for Playboy magazine. However, an invitation to go wrestle with All Japan prevented her from signing a release form, so the pictures were never published. They remain in existence somewhere.
March 20, 2014
A picture from Twitter of Matt Hardy wearing panties, which supposedly belong to his wife and Playboy model Reby Sky. The former WWE star joked that he thought it was a pink bandana.
March 17, 2014
While there might not be any nude pictures of Eva Marie floating around, we do have this picture of the WWE diva wearing a yellow thong and showing her naked ass. This photo shoot was done before she became famous. Chances are, if WWE was not PG, then Vince McMahon would have already sent her to Playboy to do a spread.
March 15, 2014
For those that do not know, there definitely are nude Torrie Wilson photos floating out there. The former WWE diva posted for Playboy, and she showed off her entire body. The nude pictures were even promoted on WWE television shows such as Monday Night Raw and Smackdown.
March 8, 2014
Since she has been growing in popularity, a lot of fans have been wondering if we will ever see a nude Eva Marie photo shoot. In the past, WWE would not have hesitated to allow her to do a hot spread for Playboy magazine, but since times have changed, the company will not allow her to pose naked or topless for anyone.
January 3, 2014
Some are under the belief that Eva Marie has done a nude photo shoot for Playboy, but that is not the case. While considered quite hot by many standards, the WWE diva has yet to be asked by the magazine. A lot of the speculations stem from the fact that there is a model named Eva Hilovski, who also goes by Eva Marie at times, who has posed naked several times.
January 2, 2014
There are rumors floating around that new WWE diva Eva Marie has posed nude before, and that has caused thousands of wrestling fans to scour the internet in search of such naked images. However, it turns out that the confusion stems from the fact that Playboy model Eva Hilovski uses the same name on occasions.
January 1, 2014
There are rumors that naked photos of Aksana exists on the internet. While the WWE diva has done a lot of modeling shoots before becoming a professional wrestler, none of them are nude ones. She also has never done a spread for Playboy or any other magazines.
January 1, 2014
Independent wrestler Reby Sky, who recently got married to former WWE star Matt Hardy, is currently doing another photo shoot for Playboy. Her first nude pictorial for the magazine was back in 2007.
December 11, 2013
It looks like the relationship between Mick Foley and WWE has greatly improved. The former world heavyweight champion eagerly announced to his fans that he will be doing a special one man comedy show in Brooklyn for the WWE Network later on this month. The two sides have long discussed the possibility of doing such a deal, but the company never pulled the trigger. The belief was that there were those within who were upset with comments that Foley had been making about WWE.
November 13, 2014
Fox wanted Mick Foley to portray Santa Clause in an upcoming episode of their hit series New Girls, but the Hardcore Legend had to turn it down. Upon reading the script, he found out that the producers wanted him to throw out some sexual innuendos while in costume. Foley, who happens to be a gigantic fan of Santa Clause, stated that he rejected the role because he has too much respect for the character.
November 1, 2014
With the amount of punishment that his body went through during his long professional wrestling career, Mick Foley understandably prefers that his children not follow his footsteps. However, that is exactly what is happening. Noelle Foley is reportedly training to become an in ring performer. The 20 year old is said to be training somewhere in the Long Island area.
October 12, 2014
A new sitcom called Wrestling With Joeylicious, and as the name suggests, it is centered around the world of professional wrestling. The lead character clings on to his dreams by working at low level independent wrestling shows. Producers have managed to sign Roddy Piper, Mick Foley, Tito Santana and Jimmy Snuka to make an appearance on the show. They will each be portraying themselves.
September 25, 2014
All those years of taking vicious bumps in a wrestling ring have taken a toll on Mick Foley. The WWE legend revealed that he is going in for back surgery this month. Foley states that it is a minor procedure, but he hopes that it will produce major improvements. The former world heavyweight champion said that the pain in his back for the last two weeks have been beyond excruciating.
September 4, 2014
Considering the amount of pain that he withstood for the sake of entertaining fans over the years, it is a bit surprising that Mick Foley did not spend more time on the sidelines. He has retired from WWE now, but an injury is preventing him from working. Back issues have prompted the former world heavyweight champion to cancel an upcoming appearance in Denver. No word yet on whether or not it will be rescheduled.
August 27, 2014
While he may not be on great terms with WWE officials, Mick Foley apparently is still on very good terms with a lot of the performers. A handful of them, including Road Dogg, took the time and made the effort to go watch his comedy show in Ventura. The venue is approximately 90 minutes away from the Staples Center, where Summerslam 2014 will be held.
August 16, 2014
Some wrestling fans take it too far. Someone recently posted that they wanted to get a tattoo of a blood Mick Foley on their body. The WWE legend himself tried to put a stop to that. Foley advised the person that it would not be a smart move because it is something permanent. It would be something that the person would have to explain to a future spouse.
August 10, 2014
"Dolph Ziggler has got to be one of the toughest men to put on a pair of boots, but he's going to be like Mick Foley in another five years because that kid beats his body up more than anybody on the crew. I do know this, in my dealings with him, when I'm his producer, he gives everything he's got. He does some really phenomenal and athletic stuff." - Arn Anderson thinks WWE should push Ziggler
July 20, 2014
For whatever reasons, Mick Foley took to social media this week to defend Batista, stating that it was unfair for fans to have this much hate towards him and his WWE return. Foley mentioned that Batista was at the wrong place at the wrong time because fans were so desperate to see Daniel Bryan being given a proper push. He also feels that not enough people are happy for Batista being featured in a big movie this summer.
July 14, 2014
Showing that some friendships extend beyond the business, Undertaker and his wife Michelle McCool recently attended a comedy show featuring Mick Foley. The longtime WWE couple wanted to show support for their old friend. The two of them even went backstage to catch up with Foley for a bit. Several wrestlers in the industry, including CM Punk recently, have made the effort to go watch Foley tell jokes.
July 14, 2014
Another source of discontent for WWE performers lately is the amount of the royalty checks that are being handed out. Wrestlers who used to receive $70,000 quarterly checks for the video game are now reportedly receiving closer to $10,000. There has been some proof of that, as Mick Foley was quite vocal towards WWE about the decrease in royalties earlier in the year. A lot of the top level performers received approximately $1,500 on their second quarterly royalty check, which surprised a lot of people backstage.
July 10, 2014
During a recent interview, Mick Foley was asked about the possible return of CM Punk to WWE, and the hardcore legend revealed something a bit interesting. Foley stated that he has attempted to contact Punk, but Punk has ignored all communications with Foley. The brutally honest Foley also mentioned that he believes that Punk is ignoring the majority of people in the industry right now.
June 28, 2014
"Yes, I like Hulk Hogan - and here's why. With each passing year, I think I gain a better perspective on what's really important in life. There was a time - a period of many years - where Hulk's name would bring up some negative feelings for me. He was the guy who made far more than I did with a style that was the antithesis of mine. But for the past several years, whenever I see Hulk Hogan, all I can think of are the words Shane Douglas shared with me about Hulk Hogan and the kindness and warmth with which he showered the kids facing life-threatening challenges, who seemed to find strength and inspiration in Hulk's larger than life physique and personality. I'll never forget those words Shane told me, 'Those kids would just be beaming.' Those words are all I think of when I see Hogan, People can take issue with his wrestling style...as they often do with mine. But, when it's all said and done, Hulk Hogan used that oversized personality, and really big heart to ease so much suffering that he saw around him.. In the bigger picture, does anything else really matter?" - Mick Foley shares his feelings on Hulk Hogan
June 27, 2014
Those that have been following Mick Foley closely over the last year are aware that there is some sort of backstage heat between he and Vince McMahon. WWE has given him the cold shoulders on a couple of occasions. Foley has now revealed a possible source of that friction. He accidentally sent a message to McMahon while trying to send to Brie Bella and Daniel Bryan. The content of that message was Foley complaining about WWE not doing the right thing and putting Bryan over when his popularity was at its peak.
June 27, 2014
Through his personal blog on Facebook, Mick Foley revealed that he was supporting Dolph Ziggler. The WWE legend also revealed why he was rooting for the former world heavyweight champion. He stated that fans were behind Ziggler during his push because they knew that he had worked hard to get to the top. Foley wants WWE to get fans to believe that hard work pays off by pushing Ziggler again.
June 24, 2014
"I wasn't sold on him. I wasn't sold on the idea that they kept comparing him to Bruiser Brody, because Brody for the longtime wrestling fan was one of the great wrestlers of his era or of all time. But he was known as the intelligent monster and Harper was an out of control maniac. I think once you stop trying to imitate somebody and find your own way things really start clicking. So, I've been watching him and things have really been clicking and after the Wyatts have this amazing run, hopefully as long as possible, yeah, I do think he has what it takes to become a singles star." - Mick Foley shares his views on Luke Harper and his potential to become a star in WWE
June 15, 2014
"If Luke Harper were a stock, I'd be buying him now. I've watched carefully for a while, and in the past two months, I've finally become sold on the big man, not only as an invaluable part of the bizarre The Wyatt Family, but as a potential breakout star on his own. Finding your way, and blazing your own unique path is no easy task in WWE, especially when standing in the very long shadow of Bray Wyatt. But Harper has found that way. I wasn't ready to buy into the Bruiser Brody comparison, no matter how many times it was brought up. Brody, a legend in the business, and a huge inspiration on my own career, was known as "the intelligent monster." Harper has excelled in my mind, by stepping off that path that Brody blazed, and finding his own, unique way to excel in WWE - as the guy who can do anything at any time, without any seeming rhyme or reason. The hurricanrana followed by a dropkick makes perfect sense, because it makes absolutely no sense. Here's one wrestling fan looking forward to Luke Harper's matches making little sense, but a huge impact on WWE Monday Night Raw for a long time to come." - Mick Foley praises Luke Harper
June 11, 2014
A status update on Twitter from Mick Foley, where he stated that TNA wished him a happy birthday while WWE has yet do so. While the former world heavyweight champion is more than likely just playing around, there appears to be some truth in jest, as rumors have been floating around that there is backstage heat between Foley and some members of management in WWE.

Solana Beach: World longboard champion Cori Schumacher stays true to who she is
By Marlena Chavira-Medford
Staff Writer
It's not every day that a world champion tops off your coffee, but if you're eating breakfast at Naked Café in Solana Beach, it's a likely scenario.
That is where you'll find reigning women's world longboard champion Cori Schumacher waiting tables. Though she has three titles under her belt — the only female longboarder to hold that distinction — Schumacher does not have any sponsorships and, in fact, she does not want any. She chooses to pay her bills working a nine-to-five because this independence gives her the freedom to publicly speak her mind, and she's got a lot to say.
Schumacher is boycotting the Association of Surfing Professionals (ASP) Longboard Tour this year because one of the events is taking place on Hainan Island in China, a country infamous for human rights violations. This is the first year that ASP has added a second event to the competition, something the women in this industry have been pushing toward for years, making the decision to boycott all the more difficult, Schumacher said.
"I felt like I had two choices: I could go with my reservations and wear a 'Free Tibet' shirt, or something trite like that. Or, I could stand up for what I believe in and hopefully call more attention to these issues through a boycott."
Her strategy seems to be working. Schumacher's boycott has got people in the surfing world talking and she hopes it's also got them thinking.
"Every event has been in a place with a surf culture, so why China?"
The answer, she said, is because there's a huge push within the surf industry to move production to China, even if it means doing business in a country with a history of putting profit above its workers.
"I'm not saying the surf industry shouldn't go into China, but go in with your eyes open. There needs to be more transparency in the production line and supply chain. The surf industry is a $7.2 billion industry. It has the ability to change some precedents in China."
For example, she said American companies could work with non-government organizations in China, which make unannounced visits to factories to ensure human rights violations are not happening. Schumacher is also using her boycott as a means to spotlight some other human rights violations happening in China, such as the government's extreme censorship of its people and its one-child policy, which she said has been linked to a spike in infanticide, forced sterilization, forced abortion and even sex slavery.
"This isn't about me or any title, this is about something much bigger," said Schumacher, visibly choked up, the passion and sincerity in her voice almost palpable. "Back in 2001, I had won my first world title, something nobody in my peer group had done. That same year I sat and watched the 9-11 attacks feeling totally helpless. No matter how many trophies and titles I had, I still had this feeling of not being able to change anything in my world."

Roger Hodgson, Legendary Voice of Supertramp, Returns with His Breakfast in America Summer Tour, First National U.S. Run in 30 Years
Fresh on the heels of sold out performances earlier this year in the U.S., South America, and Europe, Roger Hodgson, co-founder and original singer-songwriter from Supertramp, brings his Breakfast in America tour back to the United States. Hodgson's 34 date U.S. tour resumes on August 5 in Park City, Utah - marking his first major national U.S. tour since his departure from Supertramp in 1983.
Many may not know his name but would instantly recognize his voice and the classic hits he wrote and composed such as, "The Logical Song," "Breakfast in America," "Give a Little Bit," "Dreamer," "School," "Take the Long Way Home," "It's Raining Again," and "Fool's Overture," - and other fan favorites including "Hide in Your Shell," "Child of Vision," "Don't Leave Me Now," and "Lord is it Mine."
Uniting generations at his concerts, Hodgson transports baby boomers back to their youth and gives younger generations a taste of why his heartfelt songs have endured. Audiences are once again experiencing the magic and spirit that Hodgson created with Supertramp, a global success that resulted in sales of over 60 million albums.
For his U.S. Breakfast in America tour, Hodgson will be accompanied by a four-piece band and promises an assortment of the classics he wrote and originally recorded with Supertramp, as well as select highlights such as "Only Because of You," and "Lovers in the Wind" from his five solo album releases. Hodgson's latest CD is Classics Live, available through iTunes, Topspin or from the Roger Hodgson Store. UMe recently released a Deluxe Edition of Breakfast In America which includes a second disc, Breakfast Around The World, containing 12 previously unreleased 1979 live recordings from Miami, London and Paris.

It could soon be bonus money time for soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan who are serving past the end of their enlistments.
Exactly how much they'll get and when is still being determined, but Pennsylvania Rep. John Murtha says Army officials are working out details.
Congress mandated the payments to about 12,000 troops currently experiencing "stop loss" extensions of their service. Murtha is pushing for the payments to be $500 a month.
Critics have called the military's ability to "stop loss" troops, or keep them beyond their enlistment contract or retirement date, a back door draft. Military leaders have said in a time of war it is a necessary tool to keep troops with critical skills and to maintain the continuity of a unit.

Charlie Sheen's attorney will appear in court today in an attempt to gain custody of his two-year-old twins, Bob and Max.
According to PopEater the actor's estranged wife Brooke Mueller entered a rehabilitation facility over the weekend following an alleged week-long drug binge. Reports have revealed that Mueller, who has custody of the twins, apparently entered the establishment as a precautionary step in case Sheen's representatives ask for a drug test.
This, however, seems to be just the tip of the iceberg for Brooke, who, as reported by TMZ last Thursday, was captured on the surveillance tape of an Inglewood, CA. pawnshop trying to sell a watch and a stereo.
Shop worker, Jack Feldman, told TMZ that she was unable to complete the transaction after she was unable to provide valid identification.

ABINGDON, England, January 14, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --
Attackers created unique, highly-flexible malware to steal data and geopolitical intelligence from target victims' computer systems, mobile phones and enterprise network equipment
Today Kaspersky Lab published a new research report which identified an elusive cyber-espionage campaign targeting diplomatic, governmental and scientific research organisations in several countries for at least five years. The primary focus of this campaign targets countries in Eastern Europe, former USSR Republics and countries in Central Asia, although victims can be found everywhere, including Western Europe and North America. The main objective of the attackers was to gather sensitive documents from the compromised organisations, which included geopolitical intelligence, credentials to access classified computer systems, and data from personal mobile devices and network equipment.
In October 2012 Kaspersky Lab's team of experts initiated an investigation following a series of attacks against computer networks targeting international diplomatic service agencies. A large scale cyber-espionage network was revealed and analysed during the investigation. According to Kaspersky Lab's analysis report, Operation Red October, called "Rocra" for short, is still active as of January 2013, and has been a sustained campaign dating back as far as 2007.
Main Research Findings
Red October's Advanced Cyber-espionage Network: The attackers have been active since at least 2007 and have been focusing on diplomatic and governmental agencies of various countries across the world, in addition to research institutions, energy and nuclear groups, and trade and aerospace targets. The Red October attackers designed their own malware, identified as "Rocra," that has its own unique modular architecture comprised of malicious extensions, info-stealing modules and backdoor Trojans.
The attackers often used information exfiltrated from infected networks as a way to gain entry into additional systems. For example, stolen credentials were compiled in a list and used when the attackers needed to guess passwords or phrases to gain access to additional systems.
To control the network of infected machines, the attackers created more than 60 domain names and several server hosting locations in different countries, with the majority being in Germany and Russia. Kaspersky Lab's analysis of Rocra's Command & Control (C2) infrastructure shows that the chain of servers was actually working as proxies in order to hide the location of the 'mothership' control server.
Information stolen from infected systems includes documents with extensions: txt, csv, eml, doc, vsd, sxw, odt, docx, rtf, pdf, mdb, xls, wab, rst, xps, iau, cif, key, crt, cer, hse, pgp, gpg, xia, xiu, xis, xio, xig, acidcsa, acidsca, aciddsk, acidpvr, acidppr, acidssa. In particular, the "acid*" extensions appears to refer to the classified software "Acid Cryptofiler", which is used by several entities, from the European Union to NATO.
Infecting Victims
To infect systems, the attackers sent a targeted spear-phishing email to a victim that included a customised Trojan dropper. In order to install the malware and infect the system the malicious email included exploits that were rigged for security vulnerabilities inside Microsoft Office and Microsoft Excel. The exploits from the documents used in the spear-phishing emails were created by other attackers and employed during different cyber attacks including Tibetan activists as well as military and energy sector targets in Asia. The only thing that was changed in the document used by Rocra was the embedded executable, which the attackers replaced with their own code. Notably, one of the commands in the Trojan dropper changed the default system codepage of the command prompt session to 1251, which is required to render Cyrillic fonts.
Targeted Victims & Organisations
Kaspersky Lab's experts used two methods to analyse the target victims. First, they used detection statistics from the Kaspersky Security Network (KSN), which is the cloud-based security service used by Kaspersky Lab products to report telemetry and deliver advanced threat protection in the forms of blacklists and heuristic rules. KSN had been detecting the exploit code used in the malware as early as 2011, which enabled Kaspersky Lab's experts to search for similar detections related to Rocra. The second method used by Kaspersky Lab's research team was creating a sinkhole server so they could monitor infected machines connecting to Rocra's C2 servers. The data received during the analysis from both methods provided two independent ways of correlating and confirming their findings.
- KSN statistics: Several hundred unique infected systems were detected by the data from KSN, with the focus being on multiple embassies, government networks and organisations, scientific research institutes and consulates. According to KSN's data, the majority of infections that were identified were located primarily in Eastern Europe, but other infections were also identified in North America and countries in Western Europe, as Switzerland and Luxembourg.
- Sinkhole statistics: Kaspersky Lab's sinkhole analysis took place from November 2nd, 2012 - January 10th, 2013. During this time more than 55,000 connections from 250 infected IP addresses were registered in 39 countries. The majority of infected IP connections were coming from Switzerland, followed by Kazakhstan and Greece.
Rocra malware: unique architecture and functionality
The attackers created a multi-functional attack platform that includes several extensions and malicious files designed to quickly adjust to different systems' configurations and harvest intelligence from infected machines. The platform is unique to Rocra and has not been identified by Kaspersky Lab in previous cyber-espionage campaigns. Notable characteristics include:
- "Resurrection" module: A unique module that enables the attackers to "resurrect" infected machines. The module is embedded as a plug-in inside Adobe Reader and Microsoft Office installations and provides the attackers a foolproof way to regain access to a target system if the main malware body is discovered and removed, or if the system is patched. Once the C2s are operational again the attackers send a specialized document file (PDF or Office document) to victims' machines via e-mail which will activate the malware again.
- Advanced cryptographic spy-modules: The main purpose of the spying modules is to steal information. This includes files from different cryptographic systems, such as Acid Cryptofiler, which is known to be used in organisations of NATO, the European Union, European Parliament and European Commission since the summer of 2011 to protect sensitive information.
- Mobile Devices: In addition to targeting traditional workstations, the malware is capable of stealing data from mobile devices, such as smartphones (iPhone, Nokia and Windows Mobile). The malware is also capable of stealing configuration information from enterprise network equipment such as routers and switches, as well as deleted files from removable disk drives.
Attacker identification: Based on the registration data of C2 servers and the numerous artifacts left in executables of the malware, there is strong technical evidence to indicate the attackers have Russian-speaking origins. In addition, the executables used by the attackers were unknown until recently, and were not identified by Kaspersky Lab's experts while analyzing previous cyber-espionage attacks.
Kaspersky Lab, in collaboration with international organisations, law enforcement agencies and Computer Emergency Response Teams (CERTs) is continuing its investigation of Rocra by providing technical expertise and resources for remediation and mitigation procedures.
Kaspersky Lab would like to express their thanks to: US-CERT, the Romanian CERT and the Belarusian CERT for their assistance with the investigation.
The Rocra malware is successfully detected, blocked and remediated by Kaspersky Lab's products, classified as Backdoor.Win32.Sputnik.

How do APIs and IoT relate? The answer is not as simple as merely adding an API on top of a dumb device, but rather about understanding the architectural patterns for implementing an IoT fabric. There are typically two or three trends: Exposing the device to a management framework Exposing that management framework to a business centric logic Exposing that business layer and data to end users. This last trend is the IoT stack, which involves a new shift in the separation of what stuff happens, where data lives and where the interface lies.

Scott Jenson leads a project called The Physical Web within the Chrome team at Google. Project members are working to take the scalability and openness of the web and use it to talk to the exponentially exploding range of smart devices. Nearly every company today working on the IoT comes up with the same basic solution: use my server and you'll be fine. But if we really believe there will be trillions of these devices, that just can't scale. We need a system that is open a scalable and by using the URL as a basic building block, we open this up and get the same resilience that the web enjoys.

We are reaching the end of the beginning with WebRTC, and real systems using this technology have begun to appear. One challenge that faces every WebRTC deployment (in some form or another) is identity management. For example, if you have an existing service – possibly built on a variety of different PaaS/SaaS offerings – and you want to add real-time communications you are faced with a challenge relating to user management, authentication, authorization, and validation. Service providers will want to use their existing identities, but these will have credentials already that are (hopefully) i...

The definition of IoT is not new, in fact it's been around for over a decade. What has changed is the public's awareness that the technology we use on a daily basis has caught up on the vision of an always on, always connected world. If you look into the details of what comprises the IoT, you'll see that it includes everything from cloud computing, Big Data analytics, "Things," Web communication, applications, network, storage, etc. It is essentially including everything connected online from hardware to software, or as we like to say, it's an Internet of many different things.

Police: Texas father killed 2 kids, wounded 2 and wife
BAY CITY, Texas — Authorities say a gunman who killed himself after shooting a woman and her four children at their southeast Texas home was her husband and the children's father.
Bay City Police Lt. Andrew Lewis said Thursday that 24-year-old Jose Avila's 3- and 5-year-old sons died of their wounds at a hospital and that his wife and 2- and 4-year-old children are on life support.
Lewis says Avila apparently shot his wife three times during the Wednesday attack and killed himself with a shot to the head.
The shootings happened inside and outside the family's mobile home around the time a nearby school was letting out. At least one student witnessed the attack.
Witnesses told police Avila was walking around waving a gun. Bay City is 65 miles southwest of Houston.

Theater Review: 'The Game's Afoot'
Date: April 3, 2013
by: Paula Atwell | Theater Critic
The premiere of Asolo Rep's latest play was to die for, loaded with laughter and applause. The opening-night audience applauded the set, the costumes and the special effects, as well as the actors. Watching Ken Ludwig's farcical, witty mystery was like spending an evening savoring bonbons and brie: decadent, deadly and delicious.
The production's unabashed celebration of drollery and farce delights the palate with sheer over-the-top indulgence. For starters, its richly detailed set, which Judy Gailen designed, echoes William Gillette's magnificent, idiosyncratic medieval castle in Connecticut. The story is based on the real-life character of Gillette, who made a fortune over 35 years as lead actor and playwright of "Sherlock Holmes — A Drama in Four Acts," in the early 20th century.
The costumes, by Eduardo Sicangco, are emblematic of the glamour of the period. Each one is its own piece of perfection, from Holmesian wool houndstooth to a red velvet full-length, divinely draped wrap, whipped off to reveal daring pale palazzo pants — just kill me now. Both the lighting, by Mary Louise Geiger, and the sound design, by Fabian Obispo, are highly worthy of note.
Greg Leaming's direction gives the actors all they need to flaunt their stuff to full effect. The stunning cast plays the theatrical characters to the hilt, reveling in their attention-seeking egos, spouting Shakespeare at every turn, just like a party in the Hollywood Hills.
Brian Torfeh, who is delightfully magnetic as Gillette, makes me think of an elegant Tom Hanks — and who doesn't want more Tom Hanks? Gail Rastorfer literally throws her beautiful body into the dark soul of Daria Chase, a theater critic everyone loves to hate. Peggy Roeder plays Gillette's mother, Martha, with a sweetly winning blend of grace and befuddlement. Carolyn Michel is charmingly quirky as a Connecticut Detective, dressed and accented as if she'd just stepped in from a walk on the moors. Eric Hissom, as Gillette's close friend Felix, and his wife, Madge, played by Elizabeth King-Hall, are lively additions to the ensemble, and Brittany Proia, as Aggie Wheeler, and Joseph McGranaghan, as Simon Bright, play their parts most convincingly.

Messi scores twice in Barca win
BARCELONA, Spain (AP)
Lionel Messi extended his Spanish league scoring record to 18 straight games with a brace in Barcelona's 3-1 win over visiting Rayo Vallecano on Sunday, making sure the leader avoided a letdown after its historic Champions League comeback against AC Milan.
Messi set up David Villa to score Barcelona's opener in the 25th minute, and Villa returned the favor in the 40th for Messi to take his first goal.
Villa linked up with Messi again in the 57th as the Argentina forward used a delicate chip shot to net his league-leading 42nd goal of the season and put the result beyond doubt.
''The three goals were all similar and I am just happy to have participated in all three to give us the win,'' Villa said.
The victory restored Barcelona's 13-point lead over Real Madrid, with Atletico Madrid a further one back after winning 2-0 at Osasuna thanks to Diego Costa's double.
Messi scored Barcelona's first two goals in Tuesday's 4-0 win over Milan as it became the first team to overturn a 2-0 first-leg away loss in the Champions League and reached the quarterfinals.
Villa also polished off a memorable week that started with him scoring the goal that gave Barcelona the lead on aggregate against Milan.
''It was a complicated game because of the effort we made the other day,'' Villa said. ''You could see that we hadn't had time to rest, and that's tough against a team like Rayo that comes at you as compared to many other teams that try to close up when they play here.''
Messi's defined his generation. So why not crown him the best ever?
It was Messi's 19th multi-goal game of the season. His 210th and 211th league goals took the 25-year-old Messi past Pahino into seventh place on the career scoring list.
The four-time world player of the year scored 50 goals in the league last season to shatter a milestone that Madrid's Cristiano Ronaldo had left at 40 the year before. He now has 10 more games to shoot for his own mark.
After Messi had clipped the crossbar with a free kick, Rayo helped Barcelona break through by giving away the ball near midfield. Seconds later, Messi was dribbling by a defender and steaming into the area, where he laid off for Villa to rifle the ball into the far corner of the net.
Rayo has been the revelation of the league this season thanks to its possession-based attack. And even though it trailed the pacesetters, the minnow continued to dispute the ball and attack Barcelona's area.
But Villa and Messi combined to double the hosts' lead when the Spain striker played Messi clear on the left side of the box. Messi promptly took aim and drove the ball under goalkeeper Ruben Martinez.
Villa assisted Messi one more time after riding his marker on the break and passing for Messi to dribble forward before lofting the ball over a backtracking defender and the helpless Martinez with his left foot.
Check out the movers and shakers in our Club Power Rankings list.
Villa was making his fourth straight start after struggling to find minutes for Barcelona earlier this season after returning from a long layoff due to a broken leg.
''I'm happy to play again and to help the team with a goal,'' he said. ''I'm a striker and that is what we are required to do. The rest of the season is ahead of us and I hope I can continue doing my part.''
Substitute Raul Tamudo pulled one back for Rayo in the 70th after being booed moments before by the Camp Nou crowd for his years at crosstown rival Espanyol.
Barcelona was without Xavi Hernandez, out with a nagging muscle injury, and captain Carles Puyol, who will be sidelined anywhere from 6-12 weeks after a second arthroscopic surgery on his right knee in 11 months.
Its injury worries mounted in the 22nd when defender Adriano left with a muscle tear in his right leg, ruling him out for 4-6 weeks.

June 1, 1965 H. BELLER 3,187,331
MI CRO-WAVE ABS ORBER Filed April 21, 1949 'ENTOR 5 Seller B!) L W- 6 k ATTORNEY Ir-r- Patented June I, 1965 i he 3,187,331 MICRG-WAVE ABSORBER Hans Heller, Cranford, N..l., assigaor to General Aniline & Film Corporation, New York, N.Y., a corporation of Delaware Filed Apr. 21, 1949, Ser. No. 88,858 3 Claims. (Cl. 34318) This invention relates to detection systems employing ultra-high-frequency electromagnetic radiation, and more particularly to a device and method for preventing reflection of such radiation from an object whereby its location and range cannot be determined.
A primary object of this invention is to alter the ultrahigh-frequency reflection characteristics ofa body surface.
Another object of the invention is to absorb ultra-highfrequency electromagnetic waves impinging upon a body which normally would reflect the waves.
A feature of this invention is that a protective layer of material, having low dielectric constant and low permeability, is applied to the surface of an object which absorbs a substantial portion of the impinging wave energy.
A particular advantage of the invention is that the wave absorbing medium may easily be incorporated in various plastic materials to form a covering sheet, or it may be applied to flexible fabrics which may form a protective cover easily placed on, or removed from the object.
The absorbing material herein described is equally well-suited for application to all types of surfaces in the form of a paint, whereby protective coating against detection by reflected waves may be quickl and easily obtained.
Other objects, features, and advantages will be apparent from the following description of the invention, pointed out in particularity in the appended claims, and taken in connection with the accompanying drawing, in which:
FIGURE 1 is a schematic representation in cross section of a portion of a body bearing a layer of protective material;
FIGURE 2 is an illustration of the application of the invention to a flexible cover showing in partial cross section the protective layer on the flexible material;
FIGURE 3 illustrates the application of the invention to a solid surface in the form of a paint or coating, showing also, in partial cross section, the solid and the protective coating thereon.
Protection against radar detection by enlarging the scattering factor of the reflecting surface has been advocated, in which case the surface is covered with strategically located reflectors having certain angular geometric configurations which change the reflecting angle. In a similar manner, it was proposed to use a layer of semiconducting material which will effect a distortion of the reflected radiation.
While these measures have contributed to some extent to the quest of foiling radar detection, the fact that by these means active radiation is not prevented, but rather distorted, places narrow limits to their eflicacy. N matter how many reflecting facets are provided which alter the effective angle of incidence, as far as the plane surface of the object is concerned, there will always remain in the dispersed reflected beam components having the proper phase angle for reception.
The present invention attacks and solves the problem from a different approach. Instead of producing false reflections, it will effectively prevent reflection of detectable magnitudes. To this end, means are provided for absorbing a large portion of the radiation immediately in a protective layer covering a body subjected to ultrahigh-frequency electromagnetic wave energy.
It is a well-established fact that ultrahigh-frequency radiation, generally termed micro-waves, in the region of 500 megacycles or higher will not penetrate deeply and is reflected by materials having high conductivity and permeability or a high dielectric constant. On the other hand, materials having low conductivity and a low dielectric constant, when subjected to such radiation, will absorb portions of the wave energy, the extent of absorption depending, among other factors, upon the particular electrical characteristics of the material.
Materials of high absorption characteristics are not readily obtainable in suitable form to be applied to various types of surfaces in order to alter their conductivity. Theoretically speaking, elemental particles of conducting material, properly distributed, where the physical shape of each particle bears a responsive relationship to the wavelength of the radiation admissive to absorption of energy, would provide an ideal absorbing medium. Based on this theoretical consideration, it is proposed, in accordance with this invention, to employ finely divided particles of conducting material, such as carbonyl iron powder imbedded in an insulating plastic matrix as a covering or coating over the surface of the object to be protected from detection. It was found that this material has a sufficiently low permeability and low dielectric constant to admit a large portion of micro-wave radiation.
The matrix for the carbonyl iron powder may be any number of materials, paints, flexible sheets or solids, for example, polystyrene, rubber or various artificial resin materials. Carbonyl iron powder particles are of a spherical shape and microscopic size averaging about 5 microns.
The composition of carbonyl iron powder and insulating binder may be applied in various forms to cover the surface of an object which is desired to be protected from detection by radar. The principle of the invention is illustrated by way of example in FIGURE 1 showing in cross section a metallic object 4 which has normally a reflecting surface of high conductivity and high permeability for ultra-high-frequency radiation, being protected with a layer of plastic material 5 composed of carbonyl iron powder imbedded in a suitable insulating matrix. The plastic sheet material may be glued or affixed in any desired manner to the surface of the object.
In certain applications it is advantageous to have a flexible covering, such as fabric or rubber, which may easily be placed over the object and removed therefrom, for example, an ordnance piece. The covering of flexible material, when a fabric, may be impregnated with a solution containing carbonyl iron powder or coated with such a solution. This is shown in FIGURE 2. The partial cross section illustrates that the flexible covering material 6 has a coating 7 of protective composition.
The layer may also be directly applied to solid pieces in the form of paint, as seen in FIGURE 3 which exemplifies a metallic stucture 8 coated with a protective layer 9 of carbonyl iron powder suspended in the paint.
For the sake of easier understanding, the relative thickness of the layer or coating is exaggerated in the various views which are to be taken as an example depicting the basic principle of the invention. The thickness of the coating layer may be varied depending upon the particular application from a normal coat of paint to sheet material of sizeable thickness. The ratio of iron powder and binder may also be in various proportions, the consistencies being governed by the adaptability of the binder to hold the powder material. It is advantageous to have a mixture of such consistency which permits the maximum number of iron powder particles per unit area without cohesion between them.
All types of layers employing carbonyl iron powder dispersed in an insulating medium exhibit a low dielectric constant and low permeability and Will absorb a substantial portion of incident micro-wave radiation. The absorption is considered to be due to the excitation of the elementary particles creating an energy transfer. There being an extremely large number of elementary particles per unit area, inasmuch as each particle is of microscopic size, a very effective absorbing surface is created. Each particle is also of substantially equal size and shape, whereby the energy transfer is equally distributed over the area with no appreciable scattering eifect. Scattering of the radiation as an anti-radar measure is, in certain cases, of no advantage, for the scattered radiation ability which, when subjected to high-frequency electromagnetic waves, causes reflections of easily detectable amplitudes, means for altering said conductivity and thereby substantially preventing reflections of detectable magnitudes comprising a protective layer of finely divided particles of carbonyl iron powder having an average particle size of about 5 microns, said layer dispersed in an insulating medium having low dielectric constant, low permeability, and exhibiting no cohesion between in dividual particles.
2. In combination with a body having normally a reflecting surface of high conductivity which, when subjected to high-frequency electromagnetic waves, causes reflections of easily detectable amplitudes, means for altering said conductivity and thereby substantially preventing reflections of detectable magnitudes comprising a protective layer of carbonyl iron powder having an average particle size of about 5 microns imbedded in an insulating binder, said powder exhibiting no cohesion between individual particles.
3. In combination with a body having normally a reflecting surface of high conductivity which, when subjected to high-frequency electromagnetic waves, causes reflections of easily detectable amplitudes, means for altering said conductivity and thereby substantially preventing refiections of detectable magnitudes comprising,
a cover of flexible substance adapted to envelop said body, said cover having an outer layer of carbonyl iron powder having an average particle size of about 5 microns imbedded in an insulating binder, said powder exhibiting no cohesion between individual particles.
