Brevard, N.C. - Darius Moose scored a career high 22 points, connecting on three three-pointers and Jermichael Tanner added a career high 14 points, but Justin Steigerwald scored 17 of his game high 23 points in the second half, including a jumper in the short right corner as the shot clock expired with 1:18 remaining as the Tornados fell in SAC action on Saturday to Tusculum, 74-63.
The Tornados (1-9, 0-2 SAC) did their best to spoil former BC head coach Michael Jones' first trip back to Boshamer Gymnasium with the visiting Pioneers (4-4, 1-0 SAC), holding the lead through the majority of the first half as Moose and Drew Schauss scored 11 points apiece in the first 20 minutes. However, Steigerwald and Tommy Klempin combined for 30 of Tusculum's 40 points in the second half and the Pioneers held the 17-10 rebounding advantage in the half in powering their way to the victory.
Moose was 8-for-12 from the floor to lead Brevard with 22 points, while Schauss added 16 points and a team high six rebounds for the Tornados as Brevard shot 43.4 percent (23-53) from the floor. Tanner added a career high 14 points, going 5-for-6 from the floor and added two three-pointers and three assists in the loss.
Steigerwald led all players with 23 points, going 10-for-13 from the floor and Klempin was a perfect 6-for-6 from the field and 5-for-6 from the free throw line in scoring 17 points as the Pioneers connected on 56.9 percent (29-51) of their attempts from the field. Jordan Davidson added 17 points and filled the stat sheet with eight rebounds, four assists, two blocked shots and two steals, while Larry Smith paced the offense with eight assists to go with four points in the win.
Davidson and Klempin put the Pioneers up early in the contest, scoring the first four points, before the Tornados went on a 9-0 run with Moose providing six early points as the Tornados held the 9-4 lead at the 17:02 mark. Hendrix followed with a three-pointer, but Tusculum rallied to tie the game up for the first time at the 12:06 mark as Davidson recorded the steal and dunk on the fast break, and completed the three-point play with a free throw to put the Pioneers up 15-14.
The teams traded the lead back-and-forth over the next five minutes before the Tornados took their final lead of the half as Chavis Hamilton connected on a free throw at the 5:49 mark to put Brevard up 24-23. Davidson answered with a turnaround jumper in the paint on the next Pioneers' possession and after a Moose three-pointer tied the game up at 29 apiece at the 3:37 mark, Darius Carter scored five consecutive points for Tusculum as the teams went into the break with the Pioneers holding the 34-31 lead.
Three times the Tornados cut the lead to within one before a three-pointer by Tanner from the left corner knotted the game up at 50 apiece with 9:30 to play in the game. Steigerwald answered with a three-pointer and Davidson followed with a jumper to extend the lead back to five as the teams began to battle it out in the final eight minutes of the game.
A 7-3 run by Tanner against the Pioneers brought the game back to within one at the 6:44 mark, a Moose layup at the 5:14 mark cut the score down to 62-61, and free throws by both Tanner and Aleksandar Vasiljevic kept the Tornados within one possession throughout the second half, but the Tornados were held scoreless for the final 3:25 of the game, and Klempin scored four of the final 10 Pioneers points as Tusculum was a perfect 6-for-6 from the free throw line in the final 37 seconds of the contest as the Tornados fell at home, 74-63.
Brevard takes nearly a month off before welcoming Young Harris College to Brevard, N.C. and Boshamer Gymnasium on Saturday, December 31st. Tipoff between the Tornados and the Mountain Lions is set for 2 p.m.

Interview with Jeff Dyers
This month, Arcana's Vice President of Operations, Mark Poulton interviews Jeff Dyer, writer of the hot new graphic novel, Every Waking Moment.
MP: Jeff, Every Waking Moment is solicited in this month's Previews. What is the graphic novel about?
JD: Everyone wants more time. It seems to be, other than death, the great equalizer. People want more time with their families, more time to work, more time to play. So in Every Waking Moment, billionaire visionary Grant Auden has developed a medical procedure, The Wake-Up Call, which eliminates the need for sleep. He thinks people will use their "extra time" to make themselves better people and, thus, make the world a better place. The world's greatest protectors, The Idealists, volunteer to undergo The Wake-Up Call so they can protect humanity 24/7. Meanwhile, a young reporter named Emma Troy begins to investigate the story and uncovers some startling consequences: without sleep, there are no dreams… and what happens if people don't dream? As the story reaches its dramatic conclusion, these lost dreams erupt into the waking world, causing chaos and destruction beyond imagining.
MP: Did you ever wish you didn't need to sleep?
JD: No! I love sleep, but the notion of having more time fascinates me. If you estimate that we sleep 8 hours per night, that's roughly a third of your entire life. I know sleep is a necessity, but if I had those extra hours (years), think what could be accomplished!
MP: When did you first come up with the idea and how has the process been getting it to print?
JD: Well, I came up with the core idea way back in 1992. So almost 20 years ago! I spent years trying to write Every Waking Moment as a prose novel. I finally finished the novel in 2002, but it wasn't very good. I'm not a novelist, and I knew the story wasn't as good as it could have been. But I've always loved comics, so the novel became a graphic novel. In 2005, I ran into my high school buddy Steve Ott, an aspiring comic book artitst. We were at our local library for an event. Comic writer/artist Phil Hester was there doing a presentation about comics. Phil, incidentally, would later agree to draw the cover for Every Waking Moment! So anyway, I asked Steve if he wanted to illustrate Every Waking Moment as a graphic novel and thankfully he agreed. So we spent about two years creating the graphic novel. I give huge props to Steve for drawing a 200 page book in its entirety before we ever submitted to a single publisher. We went with Arcana in January 2010, and it's been an exciting year seeing the pages get colored by Todd Rayner and Lionel Dusklight. I'm very excited to finally hold the finished book in my hands!
MP: Were you a comic book fan growing up? If so, what were some of your favorite comics?
JD: I've loved comics my whole life. My favorites are probably not very surprising: Watchmen, Dark Knight Returns, Kingdom Come. I adore Peanuts, Calvin and Hobbes, Will Eisner's Spirit, Milton Caniff, Hal Foster. Lee and Kirby's FF is amazing. My favorite character is Superman. On my 40th birthday this past summer, I got my first tattoo: a Superman shield!
MP: Before we go, is there anything else you would like to say to readers?
JD: I just hope people will give Every Waking Moment a shot. It's a story I've wanted to tell for 20 years. Over the past two decades, I've struggled to get the story out there, I've never lost sight of the fact that the story is strong. I think it deals with huge concepts and ideas that are at the core of what makes us all human. It's also a big, fun story with super heroes and great action. If you're looking for a unique graphic novel, unlike anything else you've read, then try Every Waking Moment!

When I heard Gideon Defoe's book, The Pirates! in an Adventure with Scientists, was being adapted into a stop-motion animation film by the highly revered Aardman Animations, I was extremely excited.

After almost a year of anticipation, The Pirates! Band of Misfits opens in cinemas today in Victoria and Queensland, 5 April nationally, and I can't wait! Why am I so excited? Well, for two main reasons:
1. The Pirates! is an Aardman Animations studio film
Wallace and Gromit - the world's most famous inventors.Image: Aardman Animations Source: (C) Aardman Animations Ltd 2012
Aardman are famous for creating two of the world's greatest inventors, Wallace and Gromit. At Scienceworks, we're not only busy preparing the jumbo crates to send the animatronic dinosaurs from our Explore-a-saurus exhibition to Scitech, Perth, we're also busy preparing for our next exhibition, Wallace & Gromit's World of Invention. More about that exhibition another time, lad.
While researching for this blog post, I was fascinated to learn that The Pirates! movie took Aardman over five years to create - two years of scripting, one and a half years of storyboarding, designing and building puppets and sets, one and a half years of shooting and a final thre months of post-production to stick it all together. Phew! That's about the same amount of time it takes to develop some of Museum Victoria's major exhibitions.
2. My love for stop motion animation film
I adore stop motion animation film. I love the attention to detail. The little figures in their little costumes holding little props standing in little sets, all meticulously handmade and painstakingly moved a fraction of a centimetre at a time, that magically culminates in living, breathing characters acting out wonderful and moving storylines. For The Pirates! it took 70 talented model makers to make over 250 puppets, including 23 background pirates, 18 background scientist characters and 55 special characters. Check out this behind the scenes video from Aardman on 'Puppet Maintenance' during the making of The Pirates! movie.
Arrrrggghhh, now for the fun part - the giveaway. And it's just for you, me hearties!
WIN The Pirates! Booty Pack

How do I store the credit card information safely and auto bill the customers?
In one of the projects, I need to collect payments in a monthly schedule, by charging the credit cards automatically. It will be a PHP script.
How can I perform auto billing? What should I consider?
If you are a small business the best practice today is to not store CC information at all. Instead use a payment gateway that is certificated, regulated and secure.
If this is not an option, CC information should be stored encrypted. This means that hacking into your application, web server or database without knowing your private key will not compromise any card data.You should make sure that on it's path to the DB, the CC numbers leave no traces in logs or any other persistent storage.This, of course, is in very high level. There is a lot around how to setup the DB encryption, how to manage the keys, how to tighten access control and so on. Those are the basics though.
As for the architecture, I would setup two completely separate environments. One is the application that uses a one-way function to encrypt CC data on the way in.The second system, will pull the CC data from the database, decrypt the numbers and bill customers. This system should be an internal system that cannot be accessed from the outside. It is the only system that has access to the private key and it pulls data from the database (no data is pushed to it). It has to be very secure from all perspectives (network, access controls, passwords, etc.).
Not sure what you mean in:"How can I perform auto billing?"
Definitely,I am not interested to store the credit cards.
But by Auto billing, I want to devise a system that charges automatically, the some amount to the customer's card. The bills are collected for a month. And it notifies the customer and charge their cards immediately. The payments are likely to vary according to the services that customer uses. Reasons are like, change in the price plans or membership types.
But the customer does not have to enter the details again.
You can do recurring payments using a payment gateway that has this facility built in e.g paypal web payments pro direct payments api
Credit card information is not allowed to be stored on servers connected to the internet. What you would need is for your payment processor provider to provide you with a hashed token value for each credit card number you give them that you store with the customers other info. You then pass them the token during the autobilling and let them match it back to the credit card details on their secure server.
Any further hints on generating the hash? And sending to the gateway?Plus, how can I CHANGE the "amount to be charged" during each auto billing?
It is not a real recurring payment with fixed amount.The amount is likely to vary in each auto billing.
You need to get the payment gateway provider to generate the hash for you - otherwise they will have no way to use it to extract the credit card details.
Thank you @felgall.Seems, the specific payment gateway will have all these solved.After all, it is a matter of data safety and secure communication.
authorize.net would be a good payment gateway choice but there are others as well.

Will my child have any more seizures?
- Is my child more likely to have a seizure the next timehe or shehas a fever?
- Is there anything I can do to prevent another seizure?
Does my child need medicine for seizures? Does my child need to see a doctor who takes care of people with seizures?
Do I need to take any safety measures at home to keep my child safe in case there is another seizure?
Do I need to discuss this seizure with my child's teacher? Can my child participate in gym class and recess when my child goes back to school or day care?
Are there any sports activities that my child should not do? Does my child need to wear a helmet for any type of activities?
Will I always be able to tell if my child is having a seizure?
What should I do if my child has another seizure?
- When should I call 911?
- After the seizure is over, what should I do?

Sadly the fight wont happen as Berto is haitin and has family there and has obviously felt the pain as of late and has said that he isnt good to fight.
Now to the good news..
Surely this opens up for mayweather to step in. Richard Schaeffer said in an interview the other day that there will be an announcement who floyd will fight in the upcoming days.
For me this has to happen no? If floyd doesnt take this fight then he just gives his critics the ammo they need to keep labeling him duckweather.
I wonder if golden boy said to berto that he doesnt have to fight (given the circumstances), pay him a tidy sum to step aside and guarantee him a shot at the winner.
If Floyd and Mosely do fight the same night as Pac v Clottey (march 13th both floyd and manny said they will fight) i reckon mosely floyd would piss all over pacs fight in ppv.
This fights gotta happen right?

Moy (Library), Doris Okada (Graduate Education), Richard Palmer (Political Science), Linda Pomerantz (History), Adelaide Siena (student), Eiichi Shimomisse (Philosophy), Joann Uno (staff), Agnes Yamada (English)
Program Description
The Asian-Pacific Studies Program offers an interdisciplinary minor in the study of Asian and Pacific Island cultures and a Liberal Studies option in Asian-Pacific issues and experiences.
The minor in Asian-Pacific Studies is designed for students seeking to either complement their studies of other civilizations and cultures, or to pursue graduate study, travel, foreign service, or international business. It is structured to provide an understanding of the social, political, and cultural patterns of Asia and the Pacific through courses in Asian and Pacific history, politics, art, literature, language and philosophy.
The Liberal Studies option is designed for future elementary teachers. The concentration in Asian-Pacific studies provides for the changing demographics of Southern California and the growing number of Asian and Pacific Islanders in the public schools. Courses in language, culture, values, and the arts prepare future teachers to work effectively and sensitively with Asian-Pacific children and their families.
The University is located in a unique area at the nexus of the international ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach. Numerous corporations in Los Angeles and Orange counties represent the increasing importance of America's Asian-Pacific relations.
The California State University International Programs make available to students who would like to have firsthand knowledge of Asia an opportunity to study at Waseda University (Japan) and National Chengchi University (Republic of China/Taiwan). Advisors will help students plan their course of study to fulfill requirements for an Asian-Pacific Studies Program minor. Additionally, CSUDH has established formal partnerships with Jiangxi Normal University, Nanchang, China and Kon Kuk University, Seoul, South Korea.
Academic Advisement
Students may select an advisor from members of the Asian-Pacific Studies Program Committee or may ask the program office for assistance in selecting an advisor.
Students should see an advisor upon first entering CSU Dominguez Hills, at the beginning of their junior year and at the beginning of their senior year.
Career Opportunities
In a world that is increasingly dependent upon international cooperation and trade, career opportunities for those with a background in Asian-Pacific Studies are numerous and varied. Completion of the Liberal Studies concentration will prepare elementary teachers for employment in culturally and linguistically diverse schools.

Julie Chen Didn't Betray Me
CBS "The Talk" host Julie Chen revealed on Thursday that as a young journalist, she was pressured by racist comments from a boss to undergo surgical procedures to enlarge her eyes.
"He said, 'Let's face it Julie, how relatable are you to our community?" she recalled. "How big of an Asian community do we have in Dayton? On top of that, because of your Asian eyes, I've noticed that when you're on camera, you look disinterested and bored.'"
Julie, I admire your tenacity and willingness to do whatever it takes to realize your dream. Thank you for your success, thank you for being an Asian-American role model for girls who look up to you, and thank you for being frank enough to discuss your surgical procedure.
However, I deplore the …

Kanye West to appear on Kris Jenner's show
Listen to Kanye West on iHeartRadio
We were wondering when this one was going to happen, and finally, it's about to go down.
Kanye West has taped an upcoming episode of Kris Jenner's new talk show, and the interview will air on Friday. We understand that this interview is quite revealing, and will show a much more candid side of the rapper, who is dating Kris' daughter Kim Kardashian.
It's an hour-long interview and Us Weekly says that he will discuss a range of topics, including his new baby girl North West and dealing with media scrutiny over his relationship with Kim.
According to reports, he tells his baby's grandmama, "I am so in love with Kim, I thought about playing sports!"

I finally found the time today to try out my copy of BT4 Beta. :] So far looks good, however I downloaded my copy more than a month ago, so I don't really know if it's up to date. I'm downloading the VM version right now.
As for you point about motives for cracking WIFI, I think your absolutely right. Most people are either board, want to steal information, or just want free internet. And your also right, Most people planning to abuse the victim's connection, they probably would go for an easy kill... or as you said, an already dead connection.
And, if your government's after you, then you may as well count yourself caught...
WPA is about the most secure the average computer user needs to be.

"Deep Web Technologies powers alert service in DOE Science Accelerator – 31 Mar 2010
Federated search services provider Deep Web Technologies, US, has announced that its Explorit Research Accelerator technology is powering a new alerts service for science researchers via the DOE Science Accelerator. With the new service, researchers can expect to receive information about new DOE resources relevant to them.
Users of the free service create a personalised profile of searches related to their areas of interest. The service performs these searches on users' behalf every week and e-mails the users notifications of newly published results.
Science Accelerator is projected as a gateway to DOE-related science information, including R&D results, project descriptions, accomplishments and other authoritative information, via resources made available by the US Department of Energy's Office of Scientific and Technical Information (OSTI). The service searches 10 major DOE databases and portals, including hundreds of thousands of full-text documents going back to 1991 and many more citations going back to the Manhattan Project era. Science Accelerator resources are incorporated into Science.gov, also hosted by OSTI. Science.gov is incorporated into another product maintained by OSTI, WorldWideScience.org. This is expected to expose Science Accelerator resources to a global audience.
OSTI created Science Accelerator and introduced it to the public in April 2007. Explorit, Deep Web Technologies' federated search system, allows Science Accelerator users to search the 10 databases simultaneously in real-time and from a single search box. Relevant results from all sources are compared against one another, ranked for relevance, and displayed in a single search results page."

The musician's environment, with its continual pressures and workload demands, is frequently intense. Through a regular practice of yoga, you will be better able to deal with pressures and stress. Yoga means union. It is the union of mind, body, and spirit. This course will lead you through a series of breathing exercises, meditations, warm-ups, and postures that will help integrate the mind, body, and spirit of your being. Practicing yoga will enable you to be more aware and focused in all aspects of your life.
With a firm foundation of the principles of yoga learned and practiced in Yoga for Musicians 1, this course goes deeper into the practice and its benefits. Students more fully explore many techniques including meditation, breathing, and advanced postures. Students will learn about the different energy channels in the body and how to regulate them to improve a sense of well-being.
This course will explore the fundamentals of qigong and how students can employ these practices in both their musical and daily lives. Students will learn a variety of exercises as well as breathing and awareness techniques to increase the flow of chi throughout one's system. These exercises promote emotional balance, mental clarity, and an optimum physical state. Students will learn about the unique physiological benefits as well as how to apply these exercises to their instrument, daily activities, and creative endeavors. In addition, students will learn how qigong can act as a catalyst for healing or preventing an overuse injury and other health maladies. By the end of the course, students will be more able to conduct the inner orchestra of their mind, body, heart, and spirit through a state of relaxed awareness.
Using experiential exercises, anatomical studies, and journal processes, this course will improve students' kinesthetic awareness and conceptual understanding of the process of respiration as it relates to movement and vocal production. Through experiential explorations of breathing students learn to sense, feel, and differentiate the physical components of respiration. As they improve their kinesthetic understanding of breathing, their ability to use breathing responsively and appropriately for the vocal task will improve. Additionally, students will become better able to respond to directions about breathing from private lesson teachers. Classwork will consist of experiential Awareness Through Movement lessons with some time for discussion.
Continuing with the themes introduced in PSH-238, this class further explores posture, movement, and breathing as it relates to music production. With a more developed sense of self in movement, students can focus their skill toward individual needs. Half of the class will be devoted to more challenging awareness through movement lessons, with each student meeting privately with the instructor over the course of the semester. Students will design a personal program for self-improvement and maintenance of comfortable and easy movement while practicing and performing. In addition to injury prevention, the course will aid students in developing their sensitivity, clarity, and power in music production.
Whether using drumsticks, picking a guitar string, or using breath to sing, music is created by movement. Music is movement. The human body moves to create the sound waves that move through the air. We all have a picture of our bodies in our mind called a body map. This map guides every movement we make. If this picture is accurate then our movement will be free, efficient and effective. When our maps are inaccurate or unclear, movement can become labored and lead to injuries. Body mapping is a highly effective process for learning healthy, efficient, and effective physical motion. In this class you will work towards a fully realized understanding of your own physical structure so your movement will be healthy and your motion free. As a result, you will produce a better, more open, more resonant sound.
Tai Chi Chuan, or "Grand Ultimate Fist," is a moving meditation/exercise/martial art that can complement and energize your studies, music, and all the activities of your busy day. Traditionally, it is an internal "yin" fighting style that develops grounding, relaxation, and the ability to utilize the attacker's own power to subdue them. It is also a constantly evolving art/science that promotes physical, mental, and emotional balance, and is a useful tool for identifying playing-related tension patterns and opening constricted channels of the body. Tai Chi Chuan is a slow, flowing, no-sweat exercise with excellent health benefits that requires no uniforms or equipment, a moderate amount of floor space to perform, and no opponent to compete against except yourself. This course will lead you through the first 20 postures of the 60-movement form developed by Grandmaster William C. C. Chen. Once the complete choreography is learned, this short form could be incorporated into your daily routine and would require only a few minutes to complete.
Tai chi can provide you with a way to maintain your sanity and health throughout life, both as a musician and as the person you are. The twelve moves of Integral Tai Chi will help you to stay grounded and will contribute to enhancing your creative and musical self. This course will explore the fundamentals of Integral Tai Chi, a system based on martial arts, yet tailored into a gentle, graceful set of movements. Tai chi is performed more slowly, more as a meditative form of exercise. Students will learn these twelve moves in a progressive method, enabling anyone to perform each movement at their own level of comfort. The course will also focus on breathing and awareness techniques to increase the flow of chi throughout one's system, promoting emotional balance, mental clarity, and an optimum physical state. Recent studies have shown physiological benefits include stress reduction, pain reduction, regulation of the lymphatic system, regulation of blood pressure, increased immunity against invasive disease, and more. By the end of the course, students will be more able to conduct the inner orchestra of their mind, body, heart, and spirit through a state of relaxed awareness.
With a firm foundation of the principles learned and practiced in PSH-P260 Tai Chi Chuan for Musicians 1, this course goes deeper into the art of tai chi and and its many benefits. Students learn additional postures and two-person push hands (also called sensing hands), and further refine their body mechanics. Students move with internal energy while differentiating this energy from locked-in muscle tension. This course emphasizes how the sensitivity acquired through this practice relates to healthier technique, performance, and endurance. Students review the first 20 postures of the 60 movement form from PSH-P260 Tai Chi Chuan for Musicians 1 and learn the remaining 40. Once the complete choreography is learned, this entire sequence can be incorporated into a daily wellness practice to support overall health and well-being in a short amount of time.
Exploration of the relationship between improvisation and harmonic context. Analysis of harmonically sophisticated music using analytical techniques from HR-212. The use of chord scales in improvisation and analysis of recorded jazz solos. Discussion of specific harmonic idioms and their related improvising styles. Solos of John Coltrane, Herbie Hancock, Woody Shaw, and other influential soloists.
Continued exploration of the relationship between improvisation and harmonic context. Analysis of contemporary compositions and their harmonic implications applied to the craft of improvisation. Symmetrical scales, two- and three-tonic systems, and rhythm devices. Repertoire studied will include solos by John Coltrane, Dave Liebman, Ornette Coleman, Steve Grossman, and Herbie Hancock.
This course will introduce students to the theory of musical cultures in the eastern Mediterranean basin and North Africa. Course work will include listening and analysis, in-class performance on instruments and voice, and theoretical analysis of the maqam system, modulation, and improvisational schemes. The course will include also learning iqa, the complex rhythmic modes that go hand in hand with forms based on the maqam.

PHOTO: Evelyn Lozada's bloody head gash after Chad Johnson fight
(TMZ) - Chad Johnson headbutted ex-wife Evelyn Lozada so hard during their infamous domestic dispute last year, she was left with a massive bloody gash on her forehead - and TMZ has obtained photographic evidence.
The photos were taken by Davie Police in the Florida emergency room where Evelyn was transported following Chad's attack on August 11th, 2012. According to police, the forehead laceration measured 3 inches, TMZ reports.
TMZ broke the story that Johnson was arrested for domestic violence shortly after the explosive argument at his Jupiter, FL mansion. Evelyn filed for divorce three days later.
Following the arrest, Chad pled "no contest" to the domestic violence charge and was sentenced to 12 months probation and domestic violence classes.
Chad was thrown back in the slammer last week after slapping his lawyer's backside during a sentencing hearing.
TMZ reports that he was released again yesterday following a probation violation sentencing hearing. During the hearing, the judge called the head gash photos "horrific."

"Aleksandra Mir's Triumph is among the summer's most show-stopping installations"

The Guardian, one of London's top 5 art exhibitions this summer
Michel Auder / Roderick Buchanan / John Gerrard / Lucy Gunning / Janice Kerbel / Aleksandra Mir/ Jonathan Monk / Ariel Orozco / Paul Pfeiffer
Pursuit of Perfection: The Politics of Sport brings together art works which, in different ways and to varying degrees of seriousness or wit, play on some of the issues raised by sport, the politics surrounding it and its representation in the media. Aleksandra Mir's spectacular installation Triumph, 2009, comprises 2,529 trophies; a sound piece by Janice Kerbel presents a specially scripted baseball commentary; and works by Roderick Buchanan, Lucy Gunning, Jonathan Monk, Ariel Orozco and Paul Pfeiffer take football as their subject. In Southwark Old Town Hall, John Gerrard's Exercise (Djibouti) 2012 uses digital technologies to explore aspects of sport, spectacle, military exercise and power. In stark contrast, Michel Auder's low-tech video collage of clips from TV coverage of the 1984 LA Olympics focuses on the human body, eroticised and mechanised in its pursuit of perfection.

CNN's Kurtz: Officials At Murdoch's Sky News "Reserve The Right To Break The Law"
Blog ››› ››› JEREMY HOLDEN
CNN's Howard Kurtz admonished officials at Sky News, a News Corp.-owned British news channel, for "saying they reserve the right to break the law" after it emerged that officials there acknowledged hacking into private emails.
Officials at the News Corp. channel confirmed this week that on at least two occasions, reporters illegally hacked into private email accounts.
Sky News head John Ryley made clear that the hacking was authorized and said that they "stand behind these actions as editorially justified and in the public interest." Kurtz on Sunday called that justification "bloody rubbish."
In an April 6 Huffington Post column, Media Matters executive vice president Ari Rabin-Havt explained how the latest development in the News Corp. hacking scandal further validates concerns that the company suffers from a culture of corruption:
The Sky case is particularly interesting because for the first time, the company has admitted that hacking was not only approved of, but in fact officially sanctioned by the management of the channel. John John Ryley, the head of Sky News, told reporters, "We stand by these actions as editorially justified and in the public interest." Ryley continued: "Material provided by Sky News was used in the successful prosecution, and the police made clear after the trial that this information was pivotal to the case."
Regardless of intentions or the criminal behavior of a target, it is not in the realm of a private entity to determine which laws to follow and which to ignore. It's because of this hubris, which runs up and down the News Corp. ladder, that the company has landed in this place.

Guillard and Menjivar have both been released from the UFC this week.
Guillard had won just 2 of his last 8 fights whereas Menjivar was 1-4 in his last 5.
Guillard and Menjivar have both been released from the UFC this week.
Guillard had won just 2 of his last 8 fights whereas Menjivar was 1-4 in his last 5.
3-2-0 Pro Fighter managed by TFL Sports Agency
Pretty gutted about both of these but it's not surprising with their recent records. I'm really suprised with Melvin's recent record, a real shame as he's an exciting fighter win or lose, other than his last fight where he was dreadful. The UFC may have wanted to keep him but he's shot himself in the foot with his last performance, he seemed to scared to pull the trigger
Given that the guys have been in the UFC for a while the UFC probably pay a fair bit for their services and if they are never really going to be contenders then it makes them quite disposable. They wont sell PPV's and most won't go to see them especially.
With the massive expansion of the UFC they need to recruit some more future stars and exciting prospects. Prospects are cheap and can be built if the UFC want to drive Marketing to that fighter. You need to be winning and to be winning in style to stay or be lucky enough to be marketable to your country.
If you didn't see it with your own eyes, or hear it with your own ears, don't invent it with your small mind and share it with your big mouth!
not too surprised about ivan, but Melvin?
surely, it's a one-win-and-return type deal.
maybe he'll tie himself up with bellator. he could do iron man numbers for them.
'Go read a fucking book, you piece of shit.'
Melvin has never lived up to the potential or hype. He's no longer a young assassin, he's not even really an assassin to be honest. I think the ufc is right to offload some dead wood.
Fuck no-gi
lot of people seem to be upset about the Guillard axing, but I have no problems with it what so ever.
2 wins in his last 8 fights.
12-9-0-1 all time in the UFC.
Obvious he is never going to be a contender or anything like that. No problems what so ever with him getting cut.
Sherdog.com - The number one MMA site on the web today!
This may be a pipe dream because of $$$$$ and Melvin's ego but I would like to see him smash a few 155lbers on CWFC then make a return to the UFC. I'm pretty sure they could afford to pay him a 'decent' purse for a few fights, he would be active plus he would get good exposure and fight accross the globe.
.....but yeah, his ego will probably take him to Bellator.
The poster formally known as Steve_Langford.
Bellator has already said that Melvin's camp reached out to them and they turned him down.
Sherdog.com - The number one MMA site on the web today!
According to Guillard there's quite a few promotions after him.
SOunds a little off in his valuation of himself like.
3-2-0 Pro Fighter managed by TFL Sports Agency
I've never liked Guillard since his camp tried to pull some bullshit on me in terms of his fight finger record.
The story on his Ryan Stout loss changed from an amateur bout to a submission wrestling match to a pankration match.

The UCO Candle Lantern with L.E.D. Light Value Pack - Polished Aluminum is a great lantern to have with you on your next camping, backpacking or outdoor adventure trip. The main reason is because the LED flashlight can easily be detached from the lantern or you can also use the flashlight while it s attached to the lantern, if the lantern is not being used. It is really a very ingenious design, because what they have done is taken the original UCO candle lantern and combined it with a battery powered LED flashlight constructed in a very astute way, into the base of the Original UCO candle lantern, which is very cool. The lantern comes with a unique spring loaded candle tube keeping the flame height constant at all times and minimize wax spillage. Lighting the Lantern is also a cinch with its easy lighting system, the chimney slides down inside the lantern allowing you a much easier access to light the candle. Afterwards the chimney slides back into its original position and in this way protecting the candle flame from any wind or draft. The UCO Candle Lantern with L.E.D. Light Value Pack - Polished Aluminum uses the candles that burn up to 9 hours providing a warm, candle light and was also with a table top stand for greater stability and safety, while the powerful LED flashlight lasts up to 40 hours. The Candle Lantern Value Pack: Includes the Original candle lantern, 3 candles, and fleece bag. You should be all set for your next trip.

I obtained the candle lantern for camping and emergency lighting. Easy to use but minamal light output. Needs to come with the reflectors instead of them being pricey addons. The quality control was not very good as this lanterns spring loaded tube that holds the actual candle sets crooked in the lantern.
Once your eyes adjust it's just enough lite for camping

Los Angeles mom pleads for life of son kidnapped in Iran
"Why is the world so silent — why are Jews so silent about the plight of Jews being held captive in Iran?" Elana Tehrani, an Iranian-born Jewish woman now living in Los Angeles asked a crowd during a speech at the Nessah Cultural Center in Beverly Hills.
Tehrani believes her son is being held captive in Iran, and after 12 years of trying to quietly work through channels, she and 11 other families — who also believe their loved ones are in the same situation — have filed suit against Iran's former president, Mohammad Khatami, in U.S. Federal Court. They are asking that the U.S. courts hold Khatami responsible for the kidnapping, imprisonment and disappearance of loved ones between 1994 and 1997.
"As a citizen of the United States," Tehrani said at a rally in New York, "I ask that President Bush and those in Congress help me retrieve my son from the hands of the Islamic Republic!"
Tehrani began speaking out on Sept. 20 before a crowd of more than 30,000 people who were gathered outside the United Nations in New York for a rally organized by the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations to protest Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's presence at the United Nations. With her were Nobel Laureate Elie Wiesel, U.S. senators, national Jewish leaders and Israeli officials.
"I was hoping that from this rally … the world would become more aware of this issue," she told The Journal in an interview from her West Los Angeles home. "But I don't know why there was no media coverage of it anywhere, and no one said another word about it since."
She believes her son, Babak, was kidnapped and imprisoned by Iranian secret police while trying to flee Iran in 1994.
"We have been trying for the last 12 years to get our sons back, but since we have not heard anything about their status after all these years, we were forced to take this action against Mr. Khatami," Tehrani said. "We want to tell the world that with every day that passes by, we will pursue this issue more and more, until the Islamic Republic of Iran gives us answers".
A homemaker who also works with her husband in their downtown L.A. shoe store, Tehrani said doctors have told her she has developed glaucoma as a result of excessive crying.She said she has developed a closer bond with her two other sons, who also live in Los Angeles, and an inner strength from praying three times a day.
"I refuse to give up on Babak and give up hope that he's still alive," Tehrani said. "We have witnesses that have seen him, and I will not stop looking for my child until he is back in my arms."
Tehrani said her worst nightmare became a reality on June 8, 1994, when Babak, then 17, and his 20-year-old friend, Shaheen Nikkhoo, attempted to secretly leave Tehran. Because they were the age of military conscription, leaving the country was illegal. The two boys, both Jewish, arrived with their smuggler, Atta Mohammed Rigi, in the southeastern city of Zahedan, near the Pakistani border. Witnesses saw them being arrested there by non-uniformed Iranian secret police, Tehrani said.
Leaders from the Iranian American Jewish Federation (IAJF), a Los Angeles umbrella group of Iranian Jewish organizations, have made quiet diplomatic efforts for the last 12 years to help secure the release of Babak Tehrani and the other imprisoned Jews. Six years ago some activists in the Iranian Jewish community, among them George Haroonian and Frank Nikbakht, became so unhappy with the IAJF's lack of progress, that they began to pursue a more vocal public approach in attempting to secure the release of the prisoners.
IAJF leaders have long advocated minimizing criticism of Tehran's regime out of fear of retributions against the approximately 20,000 Jews still living in Iran. Despite internal differences of opinion, the various factions within the local Iranian Jewish community recently banded together in support of victims' families' lawsuit.
"Our entire community is united in demanding the immediate release of these individuals and will support any legal and moral course of action that their families may choose to pursue," the group said in a statement released by the IAJF.
In 2000, with the assistance of various American Jewish groups, the Iranian Jewish community spread news of the case of 13 Iranian Jews from the city of Shiraz who had been imprisoned in 1999 on fabricated charges of spying for Israel. Ultimately the international exposure put pressure on the Iranian regime, prevented the execution of the "Shiraz 13," and they were eventually released.
Babak Tehrani was last seen in 1996, according to Fereidoon Peyman, an Iranian Jew who was the Tehranis' neighbor in Iran and who now lives in Los Angeles. In a sworn affidavit given to the Tehrani family, Peyman said that in 1996 he visited Tehran's infamous Evin prison while attempting to sell land nearby to prison officials. While there, he stated, he saw Babak.
"As I was walking, a jail cell with a window caught my eye, I went forward and I saw several youths who were sitting on the floor," Peyman stated in his affidavit. "The poor kids, including one whom I knew particularly since he was my daughter's classmate and whose name was Babak."
Evin prison is a maximum-security prison allegedly used by the Iranian government to house and torture political dissidents, student protesters, journalists and anyone else believed to pose a threat to the Iranian regime, Nikbakht said.
Experts familiar with Iran's fundamentalist Islamic laws say such a long imprisonment of Babak Tehrani and the other 11 Jews is highly unusual for an attempted escape from the country and could be politically motivated. According to Chapter 11, Article 34 of Iran's official Criminal Laws and Regulations, punishment for illegal exit from the country is either a fine or a prison term ranging from two months to a maximum of two years.
Babak's father, Joseph Tehrani, said he was particularly disappointed with the lack of support and assistance from the Israeli government for the plight of his son and the other imprisoned Iranian Jews.

English professor shares message of FREADOM
By Peggy Binette, email@example.com, 803-777-5400
Ask Dianne Johnson about her favorite T-shirt, and she'll pull out the red one emblazoned with "FREADOM" in large, bold print across the front. It's her message for children everywhere.
A USC English professor n the College of Arts and Sciences and children's author who often speaks to and performs for area children, Johnson says reading leads to discovery, possibilities and, of course, freedom.
"I like to talk with children about various kinds of freedom they might have if they master their reading. We talk about this in the context of slavery and freedom, that it is their responsibility as descendants of enslaved people, and as citizens, to become good readers and to master various kinds of literacy," Johnson says. "They are excited about reading, writing and telling their own stories."
This month Johnson is sharing that message and her story books with nearly 2,000 third-grade students at Richland One schools. It's part of the City of Columbia's fourth annual Together We Can Read initiative, a collaboration that also includes the Richland County Public Library, Richland One School District and Columbia Museum of Art.
All Around Town
Her book, "All Around Town: The Photographs of Richard Samuel Roberts," published by Henry Holt (now MacMillan) in 1998, was chosen as this year's book. It tells the story of an African-American photographer who captured life in Columbia's African-American community during the 1920s and 1930s.
Wearing her signature red "FREADOM" shirt, Johnson has done more than 35 presentations at the museum, where an exhibit of Robert's photography is on display.
"I've always loved photography and thought it would be wonderful to make a book that would introduce young people to his legacy. I love sharing it and the other books I have created that are based on my reactions to some of kind of visual stimulus such as photos or my dolls," Johnson says.
A quiet person, Johnson lights up when she steps before the children, energized by their smiles as she shares stories and reads her books.
"I want the children to hear the music in the words, to enjoy and appreciate words for words' sake, for their beauty and for their utility. I want to share my love of language," she says. "Sometimes I ask them to close their eyes as I read so that they might lose themselves in the sound, not taking in anything through sight. Sometimes I ask them to join in call-and-response or dance. I want them to see that they can, and must bring, my poems alive. I want them to know that the reader has a responsibility to interact with the writing."
Sitting Pretty
Using dolls that she has collected since she was a child, Johnson dramatizes poems from her book, "Sitting Pretty: A Celebration of Black Dolls." One of her favorite dolls is a topsy-turvy doll that reveals a different doll depending on how the skirt is turned. She uses it to tell the story of two girls -- Katie who is white and Cassie who is black.
"This doll inspired me to think about slavery. I imagined the white doll as the child of a slave owner and the black doll as an enslaved child," Johnson says. "I wrote 'Katie lives in the big house. Cassie lives in the cabin out back. Katie picks flowers. Cassie totes cotton in a heavy, heavy sack. Katie wants a doll for Christmas. Cassie really, really wants to learn how to read. Katie is free as a bird. Cassie can only dream.'"
Johnson says art provides a forum for discussing serious subjects. "Children can discuss very serious issues. Sometimes we don't give them enough credit," she says.
Hair Dance
She also presents her book, "Hair Dance," in which she celebrates African-American hair and hairstyles, a source of identity, self-expression and pride in the black community and a subject of curiosity in other cultures. The book is a long single poem with photos by artist Kelly Johnson (no relation). Children beam when Johnson tells them that she prefers to call her own dreadlocks "lovelocks."
The Together We Can Read initiative will end Feb. 23, and every Richland One third-grader will receive a signed copy of "All Around Town." Giving the books is an important connection for Johnson, who grew up in a military family and lived in many states as well as Germany and Iran before settling in Columbia. She attended Dent Middle School and graduated from Spring Valley High School before going on to Princeton and Yale universities, where she earned degrees in English and creative writing, Afro-American and American studies.
"It is thrilling for me to say to the children that I am part of this community," Johnson says. "There is nothing like telling a child that I am the person who wrote the words in the book she is looking at. There is nothing like seeing a child realize that he can grow up to see his name on a book just as I have because we are part of the same 'family.'"
Johnson says the whirlwind of activity from the Together We Can Read initiative only reaffirms her love for children's literature.
"I love being a children's author and getting hugs from children and letters from children after my talks," Johnson says. "My most treasured letter says, 'Dear Dinah Johnson, You had made my heart sing!'"
Johnson is working on several projecting, including her first book for young adults.

Messiah: God's counsels concerning His anointed
The next great element of the condition of Israel and the government of God, is Messiah the counsels of God concerning His Anointed. Here the heathen are brought in, and form the principal subject of the psalm; and again we find ourselves in the last days, when Christ's rights will be made good against the kings of the earth and all opposers. But Israel is again here the centre and sphere of the accomplishment of these counsels of God. The Anointed is to be King in Zion. The adversaries are the great ones of the nations, the evil reaching alas! to the heads of Israel who, as we shall find, "shall die like men, and fall like one of the princes" "an ungodly nation" (Psalm 43) and as Peter also himself has taught us in applying this psalm.
The nation's presumptious resistance brings ruin
I have said that the counsels of God as to Messiah are the element here introduced to us of the ways of God treated of in the Psalms. But the psalm opens with the rising up of the nations to cast off His authority, and Jehovah's who establishes it, the apostate Jews, as we have seen, being engaged in this great rising alas! against God. The nations rage, the peoples imagine a vain thing the kings of the earth, and the rulers would break the bands of Jehovah and His Anointed together. But this rising only brings in wrath and displeasure, against which all resistance will be vain. He that sits in the heavens shall laugh, Adonai* has them in derision; Jehovah, in spite of all, has set His King upon His holy hill of Zion. Such is the sure counsel of God made good by His power. Man's presumption in resistance only brings his ruin.
{*The Lord, but not the word LORD which represents generally Jehovah in the English version; but that which gives the Lord as an official relative title.}
Christ born into the earth, owned Son of God by Jehovah
But more is then brought out. This King, who is He? Jehovah has said to Him, "Thou art my Son: this day have I begotten thee." It is One who begotten on what can be called "to-day," that is, begotten in time is owned Son by Jehovah. It is not then here the blessed and most precious truth of eternal sonship with the Father, though it is not to be dissociated from it, as if it could be without it, but One who-the Anointed Man, and that holy thing born into this world with the title, by His birth there also, of Son of God is owned such of Jehovah. Thus, Paul tells us, this raising up Jesus (not raising up again) is the accomplishing the promises made to the fathers, quoting the psalm in confirmation. He quotes another passage for His resurrection and incorruptibility. Thus we have Christ born into the earth, owned Son of God by Jehovah.
The King, yet to reign in Zion, is now rejected
But large counsels flow from this title. He has only to ask of Jehovah, and the heathen are given Him for His inheritance and the uttermost parts of the earth for His possession. He will rule them with a rod of iron and break them in pieces like a potter's vessel break with resistless power, ruling in judgment all that impiously and impotently rise up against His throne. But this execution of judgment is not yet accomplished. The psalm itself invites the kings and judges to submission and humbly owning the Son, lest they perish if His wrath be kindled but a little. He is Himself to be trusted; and who can claim this but Jehovah?
This summons to the kings of the earth is founded, remark, on the establishing the title of Christ to royal judgment and power on the earth. But is Christ set King in Zion? He was cast out of it and hung upon the cross for better blessing and higher glory, even that He had with the Father before the world was, yet cast out of Zion, to which He presented Himself as king. And as to the heathen and the earthly inheritance, He has not yet asked for it; when He does, in the Father's time, He will surely give it, and so His foes be His footstool. He declares (John 17) that He did not ask about it, but about those given Him out of it. The kings of the earth reign on, many bearing His name to be found yet in rebellion when He shall take to Him His great power, and the nations be angry, and His wrath come. No rod of iron has yet touched them the potter's vessel, broken as nothing, is not now their image. The Lord is not yet awakened to despise it. They reign by God's authority. But there is no king yet in Zion. Christ has been rejected. Meanwhile we know He is Adonai in the heavens.
The great elements of the latter-day history in psalms 1, 2
We have now the great elements of latter-day history, a Jewish remnant awaiting judgment, the wicked being still there, the heathen raging against Jehovah and His Anointed, He that sits in heaven laughing at their profitless rage, Jehovah setting Christ surely king in Zion, yea, upon His asking, giving Him all the nations for His inheritance (the submission of all to be enforced by resistless judgment). No sorrows here, not even as to the remnant in Psalm 1; but the counsels and decrees of God, and power such as none can resist. In a certain sense the kings of the earth did stand up and the rulers take counsel together, and as to earthly power and scenes succeeded. Christ was rejected and did not resist.
The great principles as to the place of the remnant unfolded in psalms 3-7
Where then is the remnant viewed in the Jewish scene of this world's history? What place have they? The great principles on which they stand are unfolded in the Psalms 3-7. It will be easily seen now how the first two psalms form the basis of the whole book, though the great body of its contents are the consequences of their non-fulfilment in the time to which those contents apply. Indeed in this the structure of the book resembles that of a great multitude of psalms the thesis stated in the first or few first verses, and then the circumstances, often quite the opposite, through which the saint passes to arrive at what is expressed at the beginning of the psalm. The five following psalms then unfold to us, in general and in principle, the condition of the remnant and the thoughts and feelings produced by the Spirit of Christ in them, in the state of things consequent in Israel upon His personal rejection. The circumstances in which they find themselves are not historically alluded to till Psalms 9 and 10. Hence these psalms give the working of the Spirit of Christ in them in the suited moral fruits, so as to display the state of the godly remnant, the holy seed that is in Judah when all is ruined. The principles of their state, the elements of feeling unfolded in it, are brought before us. There is not the strong expression which flows from the pressure of circumstances; but each moral phase is exhibited, the different feelings to be produced by the Spirit of Christ in relationship to God.Synopsis by John Darby
