The Badgers were able to slow down a potent BYU offense last week in holding the Cougars to 370 yards, a good portion of which came in the fourth quarter with the final score practically decided. As it is every week, it will be key for the Badgers' offense to sustain drives in order to keep the Badgers' defense fresh.
The rankings for the Front Seven are determined based on performance from last week, expectations this coming week, and need. It was not easy determining who would be important in helping the Badgers to a victory on Saturday.
Last Week's Rankings in Parentheses
1, Joel Stave QB (1): The Hoosiers' pass defense is allowing 301.7 yards a game and Illini quarterback Nathan Scheelhaase was able to carve up the Hoosiers' secondary for 450 yards. Wisconsin offensive coordinator Andy Ludwig may call for the pass early in the game to try and get Stave into a rhythm. Last week Stave had some poor throws and if any receiver can get behind the Hoosier secondary, Stave will have to throw a well-placed football.
2, Chris Borland ILB (NR): Not surprising but Borland didn't miss a beat against BYU with 13 tackles, two sacks, half of a tackle for loss and a quarterback hurry. Borland was an important piece in helping slow down the Cougars' offense and once again will be key in slowing down the Hoosiers. If the Badgers' defensive line can win their battle in the trenches, it will allow Borland to make plays in the backfield. Borland will have to try and make sure not to let Stephen Houston bust any long runs; Houston rushed for 150 yards and two touchdowns against the Illini. If Borland and the rest of the defense can slow down Houston, the Badgers could force plenty of short drives.
3, James White RB (2): With Melvin Gordon struggling by his standards the past two games, White has been quite productive with 478 rushing yards over the last four games. White has shown patience and a good burst over the last four games and should continue to have success against the Hoosiers, who are giving up 217.4 yards a game. Look for White to be involved in the passing game, as he has shown that he can get upfield and make plays.
4, Jared Abbrederis WR (NR): Abbrederis should find success against a leaky Hoosiers secondary assuming Indiana wasn't able to fix their problems this past week. Although Abbrederis should have the height advantage over the Hoosiers cornerbacks, Abbrederis did drop a couple of footballs last week; an unusual sight from the fifth-year senior.
5, Dezmen Southward S (NR): Besides playing safety against the Cougars, Southward was also responsible in trying to help slow down Cougars receiver Cody Hoffman. Southward may be called once again to try and help cover the 6-3 Cody Latimer. If he is, he'll have to do a much better job. Hoffman was able to consistently beat Southward off the line of scrimmage on Saturday and Southward can't continue to give up big plays.
6, Jacob Pedersen TE (5): After getting off to a slow start this season, Pedersen has finally started to play the way many thought he would. Pedersen has been able to take some pressure off of Abbrederis and been able to help out Stave to balance out the offense and the passing game. Pedersen has been a big target on third-and-long situations, as Stave has started to target Pedersen to help move the chains.
7, Melvin Gordon RB (7): Gordon is still running the football well despite failing to rush for 100 yards over the last two games. Gordon would like nothing more to end that streak and help continue to bust big plays with his running mate White, and this maybe the week where Gordon breaks through. Gordon didn't get many jet sweeps and was forced to gain his yards up the middle over the past two weeks with teams starting to key in on the play. If Gordon can pick up some tough yards, he should be able to eventually bust a long one.
Others to Note
Safety Michael Caputo: Caputo could be the Badgers second-best player on defense behind Borland. He continues to make plays for the defense and has been a big assist in helping the young corners. Caputo was able to consistently creep in the backfield to help slow down the BYU running game, and should have a similar role this coming week.
DE Pat Muldoon: Muldoon may not have had as a great of a stat line as he did against Iowa, but he still did his job effectively. He was able to engage blockers, which allowed his teammates to make plays. If Muldoon can consistently win his battle in the trenches along with supplying pressure on the quarterback, he'll have a big impact on the game.
LT Tyler Marz: In order for Stave to get into a rhythm early, Marz is going to have to do a good job of protecting Stave's blindside. Marz will be lined up against John Laihinen, who has 4.5 sacks and seven tackles for loss.
C Dan Voltz: With Dallas Lewallen likely not, Voltz will get the start at center for the third time this season. Voltz played well up until his poor snap in the second half. Voltz struggled with snapping the ball during fall practices and needs to continue to work on his timing with Stave.

Slot-machine science: How casinos get you to spend more money
J Thoendell stashed this in Tech
Source: http://www.vox.com/2014/8/7/5976927/slot...
But as Schüll discovered, almost nothing in a modern-day casino is more carefully engineered than its slot machines.
Slot machines and video gambling were once marginal to the success of casinos — but nowadays, they account for up to 85 percent of the gaming industry's profits. And casinos have devised a dizzying array of strategies to make these machines as addictive as possible, from the elaborate algorithms beneath the hood to the position of the armrests.
Schüll, a cultural anthropologist at MIT, spent 15 years in Las Vegas tracking the evolution of slot machines, exploring how and why they've become so addictive. We spoke recently by phone about how gambling has changed dramatically over time and how the gaming industry has drawn on psychological insights to make its games more addictive — often with tragic consequences.

It is AMAZING how addictive slot machines are.
They really have turned addiction into a science.

Gray day in Indianapolis as Patriots pound Colts
(Reuters) - Unheralded New England running back Jonas Gray scored four touchdowns to spark the Patriots to a 42-20 victory over the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday.
In what had been billed as a showdown between marquee quarterbacks Tom Brady and Andrew Luck, Gray stole the show with 199 rushing yards and the first scores of his career.
The 24-year-old was signed as an undrafted free agent in 2012 and had appeared in just three previous games for New England this season before his breakout performance.
Gray said he took his cue from the leaders in the Patriots locker room.
"All (I) do is follow, and if you follow their lead they'll rely on you, and they'll trust you," Gray told reporters after finishing with 38 carries.
"We got a lot of positive gains. If it's working don't change it up."
It was the sixth straight win for the Patriots (8-2), who took sole possession of first place in the AFC after the Denver Broncos (7-3) lost earlier in the day. The Patriots' rushing attack took the pressure off of Brady, who shook off two first-half interceptions to finish with 257 yards passing and two touchdowns.
The Patriots quarterback said each opponent presented different kinds of problems and the key to winning was to adapt week by week.
"You have to be able to find different ways to win depending on matchups," Brady said. "Tonight we showed great toughness on both sides. It was a great road win against a good football team." Continued...

For Valentine's Day, I decided to make myself a top. I pinned a similar top on pinterest and used it as my inspiration. Initially, I was apprehensive about using similar color choices for fear of clashing. I changed my mind several times at the store, placing the bolts in my cart and then taking them back out, all to return back to the bolts and placing them back in my cart again. That would have been a moment where I needed my kids with me, because when they go shopping with me, I never have the time to change my mind about fabric. They've conditioned me to operate within a 12 minute window, whereby I get into the store, pick out the fabric, cut the fabric, and get out of the store and back into the car before someone is very unhappy with me. Whew! My heart rate goes up just writing about it.
This time they weren't with me and after several back and forth moments, I decided to go with my color choices. I'm happy I did.
Here's a sleeve view...
Changes I would make...
~ The seams have some puckering, which may be because I cut the silky polyester on the lengthwise grain.
~ The sleeves have a rolled hem finish, which looks wearable to me, but could look better. Next time, I'll try a sleeve facing and I'll cut the pattern on the crossgrain.
Changing topics...Like many of you, I watched the Grammys last night. I always get anxious to see what the artists will be wearing each year. Insert record scratching noise HERE...I don't know... is it just me or did it seem like last night's Grammys red carpet walk was the entrance to a Halloween party? What's with all of the costume themes? Or am I just getting old? Insert crickets chirping awkward silence HERE....
I must say that I did like Rihanna's black dress. She looked amazing in it! I also liked Paris Hilton's dress, specifically the godets. I'm a sucker for godets. So I guess there is fashion hope out there in Grammy land =)

Vaccines against killer diseases from polio to hepatitis are fragile and can easily be made useless if they get too hot or too cold.
The problem is particularly acute in the developing countries where nearly one in five of the world's population – 1.3 billion people – live without access to electricity.
But now scientists and engineers from the UK have developed a cost-effective vaccine storage device which perfectly preserves vaccines for an astonishing 35 days using just 30 litres of ice and without needing electricity.
Research engineers from The Sure Chill Company, based in Cardiff, conceived a way to use their patented Sure Chill technology to keep vaccine cool for a month or more at tropical temperatures without the need for any power supply. To preserve the ice for such long periods requires state of the art insulation, so Sure Chill approached Dr Harjit Singh of Brunel University London, a globally recognised expert in vacuum insulating materials.
Explained Dr Singh: "The biggest challenge is to keep the vaccines in the very narrow safe storage temperature range of between two and eight degrees centigrade.
"What we have done is to combine Sure Chill's patented technology which cocoons the vaccine chamber in water at 4°C with super-efficient vacuum insulation panels to keep the surrounding heat at bay. These panels are the best solid insulation currently available and are many times more effective than conventional refrigeration materials.
Fifty chemicals the public are exposed to on a daily basis may trigger cancer when combined, according to new research.
A global taskforce of 174 scientists from leading research centres across 28 countries studied the link between mixtures of commonly encountered chemicals and the development of cancer. The study selected 85 chemicals not considered carcinogenic to humans and found 50 supported key cancer-related mechanisms at exposures found in the environment today.
Longstanding concerns about the combined and additive effects of everyday chemicals prompted the organisation Getting To Know Cancer led by Lowe Leroy from Halifax Nova Scotia, to put the team together – pitching what is known about mixtures against the full spectrum of cancer biology for the first time.
Cancer Biologist Dr Hemad Yasaei from Brunel University London contributed his knowledge regarding genes and molecular changes during cancer development. He said: "This research backs up the idea that chemicals not considered harmful by themselves are combining and accumulating in our bodies to trigger cancer and might lie behind the global cancer epidemic we are witnessing. We urgently need to focus more resources to research the effect of low dose exposure to mixtures of chemicals in the food we eat, air we breathe and water we drink."
Professor Andrew Ward from the Department of Biology and Biochemistry at the University of Bath, who contributed in the area of cancer epigenetics and the environment, said: "A review on this scale, looking at environmental chemicals from the perspective of all the major hallmarks of cancer, is unprecedented".
Professor Francis Martin from Lancaster University, who contributed to an examination of how such typical environmental exposures influence dysfunctional metabolism in cancer, endorsed this view.
He said: "Despite a rising incidence of many cancers, far too little research has been invested into examining the pivotal role of environmental causative agents. This worldwide team of researchers refocuses our attention on this under-researched area."
In light of the compelling evidence the taskforce is calling for an increased emphasis on and support for research into low dose exposures to mixtures of environmental chemicals. Current research estimates chemicals could be responsible for as many as one in five cancers. With the human population routinely exposed to thousands of chemicals, the effects need to be better understood to reduce the incidence of cancer globally.
Brunel University London (informally Brunel) is a public research university located in Uxbridge, London, United Kingdom.
Founded in 1966, it was named after the Victorian engineer Isambard Kingdom Brunel.
Brunel's campus is located on the outskirts of Uxbridge. It is organised into three colleges and three major research institutes, a structure adopted in August 2014 which also changed the university's name to Brunel University London. Brunel has around 15,200 full-time students and 2,500 staff and had a total income of £178.5 million in 2010/11, of which £14.8 million came from research grants and contracts.
In 1957 Brunel College of Technology separated from Acton Technical College with a focus on the education of engineers. Brunel College of Technology was awarded the status of College of Advanced Technology in 1960 and became Brunel College of Advanced Technology in 1962. In June 1966 Brunel College of Advanced Technology was awarded a Royal Charter and became Brunel University London. It is sometimes described as a British "plate glass university".
Brunel is a member of the Association of Commonwealth Universities, the European University Association and Universities UK.

BG: It feels great to have the recruiting behind me. I can now enjoy the rest of my senior year.
SM: When did you actually make your decision?
BG: I made the decision at least 3 months ago that if Vandy offered I would commit.
SM: When did the feeling first strike you, that Vanderbilt was the place where you wanted to spend the next 4-5 years of your life?
BG: Probably this past August when I was camping at Vandy. It was my third camp at Vandy.
SM: What was the coaching staff's reaction when you first told them the news?
BG: When Coach Johnson offered, I committed instantly. Coach Johnson seemed surprised that I committed so quickly, but I felt that he was excited that I did.
SM: What other program(s) did you consider before making your final decision?
BG: I considered all the schools that offered me. I probably considered Furman and Air Force the most though. Furman was the first to offer me and I really like their Coaches.
SM: How many offers do you have in all?
BG: I currently have 8 offers. I have 4 FBS and 4 FCS offers.
SM: How or when did things first get started between you and Vandy?
BG: I got an invite from Coach Belin to attend their senior elite camp the summer before my junior year. I attended that camp and also attended two camps this past summer. I really started this past summer getting to know Coach Cain.
SM: Which coach has been primarily recruiting you from the Coaching staff?
BG: Coach Cain is my recruiting Coach.
SM: Talk a little bit about the relationship between you and Coach Cain?
BG: I feel I have a great relationship with Coach Cain. He and I have talked many times on the phone. I like the way he is straightforward and honest. I'm not a big talker, so I like it when people just get to the point and tell you what they are thinking like Coach Cain does. I am just beginning to get to know Coach Johnson and Coach Belin. They both seem to be much like Coach Cain in their straightforwardness and honesty. I can tell you that I was more impressed with the Vandy coaching staff than any other staff that I meet over the past year. I visited at least 10 other schools.
SM: What position is Vandy recruiting you to play?
BG: Coach Johnson told me that he liked me on both sides of the ball. He said we would just wait and see where I fit best when I got there.
SM: What are your thoughts about competing in the SEC?
BG: It is a dream come true. I have wanted to play in the SEC since I was probably 10 years old!
SM: What can Vanderbilt fans expect from you as an athlete on the field?
BG: They can expect me to lay it all out on the line. I will go 110% every play. I feel that I am fast for my size and I feel that I am as aggressive as anybody.
SM: What do you plan to study?
BG: I'm not sure what I want to study. I hope to make a decision soon.

Mobile giant EE today claimed it has signed up 500,000 customers for its super-fast 4G service in seven months, raising the pressure on rivals including Vodafone, which has pushed back its 4G launch until late summer.
EE, whose joint shareholders Orange and T-Mobile are eyeing a £9 billion UK stock-market float, boasted it was the "fastest 4G customer take-up in Europe".
Britain's biggest mobile company got a head-start when it launched 4G last October while smaller UK rivals had to wait until regulator Ofcom freed up more spectrum earlier this year.
4G is between five and 10 times faster than 3G, allowing phone users to view video and access large files more easily on the go.
EE chief executive Olaf Swantee is now promising "double speed" for its 4G service in London and other leading cities within weeks.
Vodafone insisted earlier this week that its own 4G plans are "well advanced".

"I love these guys, and we've been working extremely hard to put this thing together, and we've had a couple of bumps, which we all know with the salary cap, but I'm looking forward to building this football team. But, like I said, it's a situation where I'll get a chance to sit down with Dan at the end of the season and we'll go from there."
– Mike Shanahan, head coach, Washington Redskins
Mike Shanahan says his job question will be answered as soon as the 2013 NFL football wagering season comes to an end. No doubt, Redskins fans will be happy to have some of their concerns addressed. So far, online sportsbook bettors have seen more questions than answers to the club's dilemmas, Will Mike Shanahan quit? Will he be back for next season? Will he make quarterback Robert Griffin III sit on the bench? For some insiders, it's been something of a family soap opera, too. Shanahan's son Kyle has been the team's offensive coordinator.
Serious football wagering fans will remember that when the Redskins made Shanahan the team's 24th head coach, like Bill Belichick, and a few other coaches, Shanahan was also named vice president of football operations, and would supposedly have the final word on all team issues. But when Shanahan announced that he would not play Robert Griffin III in the remaining games of the 2013 NFL season, there was speculation among the online wagering community that Shanahan might soon be fired. Shanahan and Griffin have certainly not been a tight duo lately, and interviews have hinted that there is trouble between the two men. However, it will ultimately be Shanahan's relationship with billionaire owner Dan Snyder that will seal the coach's fate.
Not long ago, Keyshawn Johnson, a former wide receiver and NFL broadcaster told a YouWager news source, "Fourteen years as the owner of the Washington Redskins; seven different head coaches. Fourteen seasons. That, tells me, I don't care how smart and how much money he's made; he made his money doing things other than owning a football team. So hire the right people to run your football program. Stop recycling the same guys over and over. You tried it all; the best in college football, guys that used to be hot in the NFL. Why don't you try something new for a change and see if that works? See if hiring a new guy works."
Shanahan says 'stay tuned.' When YouWager's source asked Washington's coach if the meeting between himself and Snyder will happen immediately after the team's final game against the New York Giants, he said, "I'm sure it will."
In this matchup, Shanahan's Redskins are 3.5 underdogs at YouWager. The Total is 45.5. Game time on Sunday is 1PM Eastern.

The VigilantesMature
Kevin White lived his whole life in the shadow of his parents, until the day they died a mysterious death...when their bodies were found in filing cabinets labelled "We Killed These Guys For No Reason", Kevin decided it was his time to step up and become a vigilante. Not to avenge his parents, but to have some fun for the first time in his life. Grabbing a few of his old friends to join him, Kevin dubs their team, "The Vigilant E's". But nothing is as it seems...or is it??
I sigh.
I'm in the back of the church, while the rest of my family is sitting in the front pews. They want me to join them, but I refuse. I need time to think. I'm a little shaken. After all, it was quite sudden.
You see, my parents were found, cut to pieces, in a filing cabinet. That may sound weird, but it gets weirder. On the filing cabinet was a little slip that read, "We Killed These Guys For No Reason". Crazy, right?
Now, I know what you're thinking, I should be sad. Honestly, I'm not really. My parents never had time for me. They hired a nanny to watch me most of the time. And even the nanny paid no attention to me. She was too busy sleeping and snoring.
So I had to fend for myself.
That didn't go so well for me, though.
I had to learn how to talk, and walk at school. Oh. And I was potty trained there. So it was pretty horrible. My childhood was definitely not the "Golden Age" of my life.
Anyway, now I'm sitting in the back of the church, wishing that life with my parents had been different. I just wish that they had let me have a little more fun in my life. I was always home, and I wasn't allowed to leave unless I asked three weeks in advance. Unfortunately, no parties are planned three weeks ahead.
So I was always at home. I just hung out at the shooting range and the gym day after day. I got ripped, but still my life was terrible. I never even really had a girlfriend. No girl wants to date a guy who isn't allowed to use his license.
There was that one girl, I guess, but we weren't dating. She just snuck in through the window that one night. She did me hard, left me really sore, then left. I haven't seen much of her since then. But man, I am never ever going to pull that again.
I'm in love with someone else, anyway. Ashtyn. Ashtyn Kale. The most beautiful, sexy, wonderful, stunning---well, you get the picture. I love her with all my heart, but we can---could never be. I mean, my parents were always standing in my way. But now that they're gone, maybe I have a chance.
Oh who am I kidding?
Anyway, my life is so boring. And now I have billions of dollars to do whatever I want with. Did I forget to mention that my parents were rich? Ohhh yes. Very rich.
Blech. But what am I going to do with all that money? Bathe?
Probably. But what am I going to do after that?
I shift my gaze over to my left to see Ashtyn approaching me.
"Hey," I say casually as she plops beside me.
"Are you okay?"
"I am, I think," I say quietly.
She smiles. "You want to talk about it?"
"I haven't done anything fun my entire life!"
"What about that one time when you snuck out of the house and went to that party?"
I look at her. "Oh yeah. That wasn't a good day for me."
"Why not?"
"Remember the cheese cake?"
"Oh yeah," Ashtyn says with a horrified look on her face. "That was all over the papers."
"Yeah, in more ways than one."
Ashtyn shakes it off. "But seriously, you've had some good times in your life."
"Maybe a few, but my life has never had any adrenaline pumping moments. I need to get out there and do something. I want to feel challenged."
Ashtyn shrugs. "Well, I wouldn't know anything about that."
"I just need to make a name for myself. I need to go out into the world and say, 'I'm Kevin White. And I kick ass!'"
Ashtyn frowns. "Everyone already knows your name."
"I don't want to be known as 'Kevin White, the cheesecake man.'"
"Then what do you want to be known for?"
I smile. "Kevin White, the guy who saved the city."
"From what?!" Ashtyn asked incredulously.
"Crime," I say, suddenly getting an idea.
Ashtyn laughs. "You? You're going to join the police?"
"No, no, too much work. Too many rules. Not enough action."
"What are you going to do then?"
I look at her. "Meet me tomorrow at my house."
"Just do it. I gotta go."
I stand and start to leave.
"Where are you going?"
"I have to find someone."
I sigh. "I need to find Matthew Geller."
"That one freak with one eye?!"
"Yeah, that one."
"I'll explain tomorrow."
I start to sprint away. I stop. I turn to her. "Oh, and could you go see an old friend of mine for me? They could be useful."
"Sierra Rodriguez."
"Didn't she do you or something?"
I gulped. "Yeah...she...hurt me..."
Ashtyn smirked.
"Go find her, and tell her to meet us at my house tomorrow too, alright?"
She nodded. "I don't understand though."
"You will!"
I ran away, knowing that my entire life was about to change.
And it did.

As they walked the red carpet at this year's Oscars, we were left in no doubt that A-list actors and celebrities are not like everyone else. They are wealthy, glamorous and slender, draped in Dior, McQueen or Valentino. These displays of privilege contrast markedly with the everyday garb that actors must wear during performances. If we are to believe these glamorous stars in their portrayals of ordinary housewives or businessmen, their on-screen wardrobes must completely transform their appearance, erasing all memory of their red-carpet glamour.
Hollywood actors present themselves as aspirational figures, representing the wealth and success that many audiences crave. Meanwhile, actors must appear to be able to relate to their audiences' everyday experiences and concerns. This requires a difficult compromise between extraordinariness and ordinariness. They must appear equally at home in a Dior dress and an unbranded T-shirt.
The red-carpet promenade is viewed as a performance – as artificial as the airbrushed photographs that appear in fashion magazines. That red-carpet persona "is not a real person, but merely a commodity, an image without substance". It is the falseness of this performance that drives audiences to seek contrast and apparent realism in other representations of the actor. The desire to see celebrities reduced to the status of normalcy derives from a desire for authenticity. It is only when celebrities are seen dressed like the rest of us that they are deemed to be "authentic" or real. [1]
Actors will make conscious efforts to counteract the impression that they are somehow false or out-of-touch with their audiences. Wendy Parkins has observed the rise of celebrity knitting as a performance of ordinariness. She lists Julia Roberts, Sandra Bullock and Sarah Jessica-Parker as some of many prominent actors who are known to engage in the apparently mundane hobby of knitting. Moreover these celebrities openly promote their interest by discussing it on talk-shows or being photographed with knitting-needles in their hands. [2]
Andrew Tolson proposes that this ordinariness is, ironically, just as false as the extraordinary perfection that we see in magazines [3]. The celebrity is an author of every aspect of him or herself, including the public persona and the apparently private alter-ego depicted in the tabloids. When Sandra Bullock is photographed in supermarket car parks, in combat trousers and a baseball cap, the cap represents a half-hearted attempt at anonymity, which she knows will not fool the paparazzi. Candid photographs capture Bullock's apparently ordinary alter-ego. Far from being authentic, this apparent normalcy is a construction – an imitation derived from Bullock's observations of everyone else.
Actors have a complex relationship with the notion of identity, as they play the roles of real and fictional characters who are often very different from one another. The profession makes actors aware of the means by which identity is presented and constructed, and, as Helen Walter observes, this is "intrinsically involved with the act of clothing and re-clothing". The first-impression made by an actor's wardrobe marks him or her as accessible or inaccessible: out of touch, or just like the rest of us. [4]
On-screen too, actors must present a believable account of normalcy. This is a task that relies not only on acting skills, but also the talents of makeup artists and costume designers. It is the job of the wardrobe department to transform a glamorous starlet into someone who wouldn't look out of place in our local supermarket.
The costume must appear so authentic that it counteracts any lingering memories of glamorous photoshoots or previous roles. Cate Blanchett, who has portrayed Queen Elizabeth in elaborate historical costumes, and collected her recent Oscar dressed in Armani, is believable in other roles partly because she dresses down for the part. In Notes on a Scandal (2006) her oversized cardigans swathed her figure, while long sleeves and fingerless gloves contributed to the impression of a woman so insecure that she preferred to conceal every part of her body. Her more recent role in Blue Jasmine required Blanchett to present herself as a disgraced socialite, who clings on to a token of her former life, her one remaining Chanel jacket.
Jennifer Lawrence's Oscar nomination was awarded for her portrayal of a housewife in American Hustle. Though she is also seen in fur-trimmed coat and evening gown, the character of Rosalyn Rosenfeld is marked as ordinary by her rubber gloves and casual jumpsuit. These costumes erase the memories of Lawrence as a leather-clad action heroine in The Hunger Games, breaking the connection to the actor's previous roles as well as her real-life persona.
The wardrobe is a valuable tool for any actor. Clothes provoke us to reassess the wearer, discarding assumptions that we may have previously made when seeing the same person in a different garment. Audiences will readily objectify a person, judging them according to the way that they dress, and actors are able to exploit this to shift between states of extraordinariness and ordinariness. Although actors may rally against objectification and the superficiality of the film industry, it in their interest to be judged according to appearance. A chameleonic appearance, particularly through wardrobe, allows actors diversity in their roles, and helps to prevent typecasting.

RSBAC (Rule Set Based Access Control) is an open source access control framework for current Linux kernels, which has been in stable production use since January 2000 (version 1.0.9a).
- Free open source (GPL) Linux kernel security extension.
- Independent of governments and big companies.
- Several well-known and new security models, e.g. MAC, ACL and RC.
- On-access virus scanning with Dazuko interface.
- Detailed control over individual user and program network accesses.
- Fully access controlled kernel level user management.
- Any combination of security models possible.
- Easily extensible: write your own model for runtime registration.
- Support for latest kernels.
- Stable for production use.
- Very easily portable to other operating systems.
The RSBAC system architecture has been derived and extended from the Generalized Framework for Access Control (GFAC) by Marshall Abrams and Leonard La Padula.
RSBAC means RuleSet Based Access Control, and is also an RBAC, Role Based Access Control solution, the two acronyms may sometimes cause confusion.
In his essay Rule Set Modeling of a Trusted Computer System, Leonard LaPadula describes how the Generalized Framework for Access Control (GFAC) approach could be implemented in the Unix System V operating system. He introduced the clear separation between Access Enforcement Facility (AEF), Access Decision Facility (ADF) with Access Control Rules (ACR) and Access Control Information (ACI).
The AEF as part of the system call function calls the ADF, which uses ACI and the rules to return a decision and a set of new ACI attribute values. The decision is then enforced by the AEF, which also sets the new attribute values and, in case of allowed access, provides object access to the subject.
This structure requires all security relevant system calls to be extended by AEF interception, and it needs a well defined interface between AEF and ADF. For better modeling, a set of request types was used, in which all system call functionalities were to be expressed. The general structure of the GFAC has also been included in the ISO standard 10181-3 Security frameworks for open systems: Access control framework and into the OpenGroup standard Authorization (AZN) API.
The first RSBAC prototype followed La Padula's suggestions and implemented some access control policies briefly described there, namely MAC, FC and SIM, as well as the Privacy Model by Simone Fischer-Hübner.
Many aspects of the system have changed a lot since then, e.g. the current framework supports more object types, includes generic list management and network access control, contains several additional security models and supports runtime registration of decision modules and system calls for their administration.
RSBAC and other solutions[edit]
RSBAC is very close to SELinux functionality wise as they share a lot more in their design than other access controls[citation needed] such as AppArmor, etc.
However, RSBAC brings its own hooking code instead of relying on LSM, the Linux Security Module. Due to this, RSBAC is technically a replacement for LSM itself, and implement modules that are similar to SELinux, but with more and additional functionality .[citation needed]
The RSBAC framework incorporate complete object status and has a full knownledge of the kernel state when making decisions, making it more flexible and reliable .[citation needed] However, this comes at the cost of slightly higher overhead in the framework itself. While both SELinux and RSBAC enabled system have similar performance impact, LSM alone performance impact is negligible compared to the RSBAC framework alone .[citation needed]
For this reason,[citation needed] LSM has been selected as default and unique security hooking mechanism in the Linux kernel, RSBAC coming as a separate patch only.
RSBAC was historically the first Linux complete RBAC and MAC access control patch .[citation needed]

Smoke Sales for Soldiers Could Be Headed Out
A Pentagon plan to end tobacco product sales at commissaries and post or Naval exchanges has some pretty strong opposition. The Pentagon says the result would be a healthier military -- soldiers who are in better shape. Retired Army Major General Bill McClain says there might be a better way to accomplish the same goal.
"What perhaps they could better be speaking to is not having the tax advantage," McClain explains. "You know, there's a pretty sizeable tax advantage to buying cigarettes in the commissary or post or Naval exchanges."
General McClain says soldiers should have the freedom to choose what they use.
"Some people make good choices, some not so good," he says, But you should have freedom to make that choice."

text: One common problem with the 1999 and some 2000 model pumps is copper coming from the pumps themselves and clogging the fuel screens. If you didn't get a recall or missed warrantee service or just want more fuel flow, this is an effective solution. Bike with fuel problems will have a number of symptoms. The bike idle will be rough and will tend to stall as it warms and when opening the throttle and shifting, the bike will suddenly lose power, as if you had just pulled in the clutch among other power-loss symptoms. I got all the parts I needed for this at Jeg's and Summit Racing. Here are the part numbers for the three items you will need from Summit: KNN-81-0040 6AN K&N Fuel Filter AER-FCM1012 Straight 6AN aluminum hose fitting EAR-403006 6 AN, 3 ft., braided stainless steel fuel line They seem to have the filters on backorder, so you might try Jeg's, which seems to have everything but the fuel line. You will also need to order a packing seal for the fuel pump Part No. 15144-24F00. You should also get two 3/32" wide o-rings, one measuring ID: 1-3/8", OD: 1-9/16" and one measuring ID: 1-9/16", OD: 1-3/4" and a third small o-ring for the pressure regulator (I forget the size, but you can usually reuse this one. OK, now to the installation: You will need to cut the fuel line without freying the braid. A Dremel will work with patience, otherwise a band saw or cutoff saw works best. I used a 10" cutoff saw with a metal-cutting blade. You should wrap the section that you will cut with either shrink tubing or tape. Cut one length to 4.5" and another length to 7.5". You should have two lengths of hose with both ends wrapped in tape or tubing. Remove the tape from only one end on each, this will be the end inserted into the fittings. Dip the ends to be pressed into some fresh motor oil for lubrication. Press the hex end onto the hose, making sure the ends do not frey and press the other fitting end onto the hose. Tighten the connections and install the filter onto the hoses as shown. Now you need to remove the screens and filter from the pump assembly. Plug the fuel lines and remove the fuel pump assembly (see manual for detail, I will post those pages if needed). You need to remove the pressure regulator screen, the fuel filter and the fuel screen from the assembly. To get the fuel screen, you will need to cut the screen from the plastic with a razor. Replace the pump assembly. You will now need to switch the rail sections on the fuel rail. Switch the right section with the left and rotate it such that the nozzle is pointing down and toward the rear of the bike. At this point, you may want to check the injector screens. Some people have removed these as well, claiming better fuel flow, but I have left them intact. Now place the hose-filter between the pump and rail. The short end should attach to the pump and the long end should attach to the rail. Make sure to use FI-type hose clamps. The tape or tubing placed when cutting will help prevent the hose from getting freyed. Test the line for any leaks by running the pump (ignition in 'on' position) and you should be done. You can check the filter every 5-10K miles and clean it, but this should be the last filter you ever buy, saving you the $25-50 dealers charge for the OEM paper filter.

It seemed like such an unimportant word. After all, what human ever truly used their instinct? Sure, occasionally they would have a little 'sixth sense' business going on, but in the end, it was just paranoia. It was too bad that Meowth wasn't a human, and still had some bit of his instinct and pokemon feelings in tact, but the fact of the matter was, Meowth had long ago given up his rights as pokemon when he tried to become more human like.
It really didn't seem so long ago that Meowth's only desire was to become more humanlike to woo a young female Meowth. Suffice to say it didn't work, and when he joined Team Rocket, he forwent his true nature of being a Meowth and simply tried to become a human, despite the impossibility of it. And with Meowth's downfall into humanity, he forgot the most important thing that kept a pokemon alive.
"No! No! Stop!" Meowth cried, struggling against the harsh pull on his arms by a savage Charmeleon and the tight vines around his body by a brute of an Ivysaur. "Please!" he continued to cry, body quivering as he was led deeper into the woods. His body was sore and was graced with many bruises.
Pokemon surrounded the whole area, but those that stood in the way easily formed a path. In the lead was a beautiful, pearl white furred pokemon that, when he turned his head to gaze coldly at Meowth, had a face as black as the abyss. Connected to his head was a scythe that seemed to have an extra curve and length than others of his species, but that made him all the more beautiful. Beautiful death.
The pokemon cawed, grunted, snorted, hissed, barked, stomped and did all manners of things to spook the already scared Meowth. Meowth lowered his ears, tears already falling freely.
"Look at the scardy cat!" one cried, causing Meowth's head to swivel around in contempt so that he could glare at the one who said that.
Despite his tears and fears, Meowth had a temper that could burst at any moment, despite the situation. "Say that again and I'll beat the snot outta ya!"
The surrounding pokemon just laughed, and to Meowth's dismay the Charmeleon gave a harsh wrench on his hands. "With what?" the fire lizard sneered. "With these wimpy little claws of yours?"
"Face it, human," the Ivysaur sneered, tightening his vines around Meowth, "you have nothing."
Meowth felt his blood run cold. Human… the most insulting word that could be used to a pokemon. "Do I look like a human?!" Meowth snarled, thrashing in his bonds as he was dragged forward, deeper still into the forest. "I'm a Meowth! A Meowth!" He ignored his own hypocrisy, knowing that he had done all he could to be more like a human.
Laughter once again rose through the air, but a young kit ran forward. It was a fellow Meowth, and Meowth truly thought the little one would help him, but a sharp swipe to the face crashed any hope that might have started to grow.
"You're disgusting," the young one hissed.
"That is enough," the Absol said, his voice bold and the first time he had said anything since he began to lead Meowth's capturers to who knew where. The Absol gazed at the young Meowth. "His time will come," he promised.
"Time? What do ya mean!?" Meowth snarled. "I haven't done a thing! Lemme go!"
"Hasn't done anything?" the Charmeleon said with false innocence. He turned to the crowd. "What has he done?"
At this, a new excitement fell over the crowd as they began to stamp in a barbaric harmony and shout, "Traitor! Traitor! Traitor!" over and over.
Meowth shook his head desperately. He had never met these pokemon before. How on earth could he have betrayed them?
"Place the Betrayer in the appropriate place," Absol intoned as at last they came to a stop.
Meowth moved his head all around, trying to see where they were going to put him. They had come to a bare spot in the woods, and directly in the middle was a stone slab that probably reached Meowth's middle height wise. Unsurprisingly, Meowth was placed directly in front of the smooth stone, his stomach digging into it as Charmeleon stretched his arms across the slab. Ivysaur had withdrawn his vines, showing that it could have taken only one of them to bind Meowth and drag him away. The extra was just to humiliate.
By this time Meowth was already a sloppy mess as he continued to cry. "Don't kill me, please," he continued to beg, much to the large group of pokemon's joy. "Please, I don't know any of ye."
The Absol took that moment to walk in front of both the stone and Meowth, looking like a judge and jury all at once, but Meowth knew that whatever it was he was being judged for, he was already guilty.
"We are here," Absol began quietly, boldly, strongly, "to judge one who used to be one of us."
Hissing and snarling erupted in the plain and it wasn't until Meowth looked around once more did he realize that almost the whole area was completely covered in pokemon, perhaps even more than before.
"To judge one," Absol continued in his god like voice, "that is neither one of us nor what he has played for the past years."
Meowth's ears jerked up. "Wha?" The call of Human began to ring in his ears again and he let out a hysterical laugh. "You guys honestly think I'm a human? You guys are nuts!"
Meowth's little tirade was cut short as Charmeleon twisted his paws painfully. "Shut your mouth, worm." With steam escaping his nose, Charmeleon gave a nod to Absol to show that he had everything under control.
"You are charged with the betrayal against all your former kind." Absol watched Meowth blink stupidly. "Pokemon," Absol continued in a deadly quiet, anger finally beginning to lace his tone. "You, little Team Rocket pet, are charged with the kidnapping of many pokemon, destroying families, mur…"
"It was orders!" Meowth shouted, interrupting his judge with a frantic scream. "It was orders! My trainer gave me orders and I followed them!" Meowth looked around frantically. "I dare one of ye to say that you didn't follow your trainers orders!" For a moment, Meowth panted in false triumph, believing that he was right and that the others would see it his way.
"Wrong," a new voice hissed. The saying jumping out my skin in fright was the proper thing for Meowth at the moment. From out of the bushes came a long, muscular purple snake. Its head was lowered in shame, tongue flickering out hesitantly as it came to Meowth's side.
"Arbok," Meowth said in wonder, for a moment forgetting where he was as he looked at his old friend.
"Wrong, wrong," another voice intoned, and again Meowth swiveled his head to the trees. From out of it floated another purple being, but this one had two heads and oozed poisonous smoke.
"Weezing?" Meowth almost stuttered, lip quivering as he could feel the urge to cry again. "Guys! Please, ya gotta help me!" he pleaded.
The two pokemon seemed to shrink in on themselves. "No bad pokemon, only bad human," Arbok intoned in hauntingly familiar words. Meowth could remember hearing them when he had been stuck on that giant pokemon island with the twerp's pokemon. The same thing had been said when he had tried to get a much younger Ekans and Koffing to help capture Pikachu.
"Right, right!" Meowth cried gleefully. "No bad pokemon," he agreed. "Only bad humans." He turned to Absol, eyes gleaming still with tears to show that he now understood, but a hiss and a cough of disappointment once again crashed any hopes.
"You have no trainer," Absol said, black eyes piercing. "And you have given your rights as pokemon as soon as you willingly betrayed your own kind."
"I said it was my trainer's orders!" Meowth cried. "Giovanni, he's my trainer!"
Absol shook his head slowly, almost as if he were saying no to a small child. "No, Betrayer," he said coldly. "You have never been captured and held within the cold confines of a pokeball. You gave yourself –your body and soul- willingly to a man dedicated to destroying the very pride of a pokemon. You listened to orders, yes, but you listened to your own orders to try and please your supposed master. In your quest to rid yourself of your pokemon… quirks, shall we say, you became simply a sad being. You can never have a say in the human world with the same rights, nor can you ever hold the strength of a pokemon."
"Strength?" Meowth repeated dumbly, body slumping in defeat, mouth agape.
"The same power that Mew blessed us all with in order to use attacks, evolve… even use instinct." This time Absol nearly glared at Meowth. "If you had not lost that, you would have sensed us coming and realized the danger, Betrayer."
Meowth glanced at Weezing and Arbok, trying to see if they were following this. They both had their heads down and refused to stare at their once friend. "What about them?" he asked. "They stole pokemon as well."
An uproar exploded throughout the whole forest.
Meowth blanched, realizing that was not the smartest thing to have said. Weezing and Arbok were finally staring at him, but it was out of shock, grief and betrayal. They stared for a moment before turning away. They made to leave the clearing, pokemon making sounds or rubbing them in comforting ways before throwing a venomous glare at Meowth. Somehow their glares seemed even more hateful than before.
Meowth felt his throat go dry. There would be no point in calling them back. Even he knew it. "What…" He swallowed, averting his eyes from Absol. "What are you gonna do ta me?"
Absol turned his head around to give a nod at a pokemon Meowth had not noticed before. There were many pokemon throughout the clearing, but they were all back a ways. This one was close, and he seemed to be sharpening his scythes.
"You will lose your claws," Absol said strongly, making room for the Scyther to take his place.
"What use do you have for them but to steal?" the Charmeleon hissed, placing Meowth's paws in the appropriate spot. "You can't even use a decent Scratch. What level are you anyway?"
That put Meowth's tirade on hold. What level was he? He had never fought, had a battle or had a trainer train him. Was… he still level one? It was a disgraceful thing, being so weak at his age, but Meowth had always used technology, not claws, but that didn't make it any less worse that he was about to lose his hands!
"Not hands," Absol said sharply, seemingly reading Meowth's mind. "Paws."
Meowth gulped, shouts of "No!" not even uttered before, with a fierce cry, Scyther swung down. It took just one clean cut and Meowth stumbled backwards, body stiff with shock as he gazed at the bleeding stumps. It was only until white clawed hands grabbed his arms did he cry out.
A Magmar stood in front of him, her eyes cold and merciless. She drove his stumps into his body, causing the bleeding stumps to cauterize. Meowth shook violently as Magmar released him. He stumbled, still in shock, and threw up.
Pokemon took that moment to shout and cheer, but Meowth was completely unaware of it all. He was stumbling through the pain. Oh, the pain! He had never been in so much agony.
"Help," he whispered before heaving once more.
His plead for help caused another uproar of laughter and jeers, but again Meowth remained almost unaware. A steady claw rested on his head to study him. Meowth looked up into the cold eyes of Absol and gulped as it raised its other claw, but the black claws did nothing but trim his whiskers off, much to his horror.
"Punishment has been given, but I cannot speak about forgiveness," Absol spoke loudly as he released Meowth. The poor cat fell with a sick sob. "Forgiveness can only be given to him by those hurt by him, but no other Betrayal Punishment shall be given out unnecessarily." Absol glared down at Meowth. "Know this, Betrayer," he hissed. "If you continue to steal, we will return and chop off your feet, and Mew forbid, but if you continue to steal it will be your tail and ears. We will leave you there to watch the world move by, and if some kind soul shall take care of you, count yourself blessed."
Meowth just openly sobbed, nodding and shaking as he clutched his stubs closer to his body. "Please… please," he continued weakly.
Absol just stared at him pityingly. "We take our leave now." The strong voice was directed at all the pokemon in the clearing. They knew that if they were to do anything, they would receive punishment as well. So it was with grumbles and victorious growls that the pokemon left, leaving just Meowth and Absol.
"Please… please," Meowth mewled, some small part of him hating how he sounded like a newborn kit.
"May tomorrow's sun bring you a new strength," Absol whispered to Meowth, staring sadly. "You may be weak, but punishment teaches. It is up to you to learn from your mistakes."
Carefully, Absol picked the pitiful Meowth up by his neck and ran back to Meowth's camping grounds. He had been sleeping in an abandoned cabin with Jessie and James, but a quick Sleep Powder knocked them out, leaving Meowth vulnerable.
"Please… please," Meowth continued to whisper, consciousness finally slipping.
Absol gently placed Meowth on the ground outside of the cabin and stared at the unconscious pokemon, his eyes showing grief for the first time. Closing his eyes in a silent prayer, Absol turned away with an assassins grace as he slipped into the shadows, gone for good like Death's silent whisper.
And all the while, Meowth continued to plead, "Please….please," in his sleep as nightmares sunk their icy fangs into his mind.
Please… please.
There is no help for the helpless. Meowth would have known that if hadn't given up who he truly was.

Una casa familiar: cómoda, práctica, para toda la familia
Kirstenhof/Tokai is a quiet suburb yet it is situated very close to the highways to get to either central Cape Town (20km); or Muizenberg Beach (4km). The Constantia Mountains are 5km away and provide excellent hiking and some of the best mountain biking trails in South Africa. There are various famous wine farms in close proximity, as well as quaint fishing harbours (Kalk Bay and Hout Bay) a mere 10 minutes drive away. You are a stones throw away from the city and on the doorstep of all the best outdoor activities Cape Town has to offer.

At The Top Of The World
I stood at the bottom of an enormous, rocky hill, marveling at the steepness. I could have walked away, but I was drawn to it from the depths of my core. So I took a step onto the incline. My foot landed on a piece of jagged stone whose edge sliced into my skin with ease. I painted the rocks vermillion. It may have been the most difficult steps I'd ever taken, but still I had to persevere. I took another step, landing once again onto another pointed fragment that jutted into more than my flesh. More blood shed down the mountain's face, tears welling in my eyes. I pushed them back and took another step. And another. And another. With each stride I felt the pain grow worse, but never once did I falter.
There came a point as I continued on that I was no longer alone. A small bird flitted near my head, it sang sweet music in my ear. I smiled at its efforts. As I took each step and left a trail of myself in my wake, the bird's song grew louder. It hovered over my shoulder and whispered promises to me, swearing that it would be alright once I reached the summit. I listened to the songbird's voice and let it lift me up. Each step I took cut like the first and stung like all the last, but I felt deep inside my soul that it would serve my purpose.
I looked up the sheer face of the hill and I saw a figure at the top. My brother stood there grinning at me like he always had. I grinned back. I walked faster up the mountain, my feet were gaping wounds of red suffering and the small bird cried louder than ever before until I soon was at the top. My brother wasn't there to greet me. All that sat at the top of the enormous monstrosity was a square box with a screen on the top. The numbers on it read "00:00:00." I picked up the timer with shaking hands and stared at the green numbers. My body quaked so violently that the box tumbled out of my frozen hands and landed with the numbers facing the cold stone. The bird hung by my ear and sang a cheerful tune.
My hand moved so suddenly that I wasn't even sure that I'd done it until I saw the little songbird in my palm. I'd grabbed it from my side and had begun holding it tightly in my hands. Too tightly. There had been nothing more that I'd wanted than to rip the wings off of its little frame so as it would never be able to fly again. It had sworn that the top of the mountain would hold promise for me. I was supposed to be better. The bird laid still in my hands, not even a slight tremor to give away its fear. I looked down on its peaceful body as it waited patiently for me to mangle it and I exhaled. Being angry and wanting to damage the beautiful bird would not make me whole. I placed the songbird on my shoulder and picked up the little gray box. I put the metal to my chest, closed my eyes, and breathed in the fresh air.
The bird hovered up to my ear once more and sang for me a hopeful song. Hope. I opened my eyes and noticed for the first time that there had been a little bench with me at the summit. Still clutching the box to my heart, I ambled over and sat down. Only then did I see. When I looked out from the hilltop, I saw everything all at once. The sky was thick with puffy white clusters that glided lazily past a rainbow. There was a stream with rolling rapids and little miracles of waterfalls that ran through a tranquil meadow. Children sat down by the water and splashed each other's faces. They laughed louder and longer than I ever had. The songbird sighed with reverie and soared towards the clouds and for the first time in such a long, long time I smiled. I would be okay.
