Texas A&M University will host the Third Annual National Collegiate Cyber Defense Competition (NCCDC) April 18-20 at the Hilton San Antonio Airport Hotel.
The CCDC program has grown from five participating schools in 2005 to 56 schools in 2008 with six regional competitions taking place nationwide. The 2008 national competition features the 2007 defending champions, Texas A&M University, along with Baker College of Flint, Michigan, the Community College of Baltimore County, Mt. San Antonio College of Los Angeles County, Rochester Institute of Technology, and the University of Louisville. The participants advanced to the National CCDC after winning regional competitions against opposing teams in the Southwest, Midwest, Mid-Atlantic, Southeast and West Coast Regions.
The CCDC program is sponsored in part through donations from leading businesses in the communications and information technology industries. The program is the first cyber defense competition allowing teams of full-time collegiate students from across the country to apply their information assurance and information technology education in a competitive environment. While similar to other cyber defense competitions, CCDC competitions are unique because they focus on business operations and incorporate the operational aspect of managing and protecting an existing network infrastructure. The teams will inherit an "operational" network from a fictional business complete with e-mail, websites, data files, and users.
Each team will be required to correct problems on their network, perform typical business tasks, and defend their networks from a red team that generates live, hostile activity throughout the competition. The teams will be scored on their performance in those three areas and the team with the highest score at the end of the competition will be the National Collegiate Cyber Defense Champion.
The National CCDC is being sponsored in part through donations and volunteer support from the AT&T Foundation, Department of Homeland Security, Cisco Systems, Acronis, Northrop Grumman, Accenture, the Information Systems Security Association, and Core Securityamong others.

Bygones are bygones between Rick Sanchez and Jon Stewart.
The former CNN anchor issued an apology to the "Daily Show" host Wednesday after calling him a "bigot" and hinting that Jews control TV networks during an interview on a radio show last week, reports USA Today. Sanchez was fired by the network shortly after his comments became public.
Sanchez said that he spoke with Stewart on October 4 and that the two had a "very good conversation," though the funny man mocked him on that evening's "Daily Show," comparing him to the doltish boss on "The Office," Michael Scott. He blamed his "inartful comments" on fatigue from working long hours.
U.S. & World
"As John was kind enough to note in his show Monday night, I am very much opposed to hate and intolerance, in any form, and I have frequently spoken out against prejudice. Despite what my tired and mangled words may have implied, they were never intended to suggest any sort of narrow-mindedness and should never have been made," read the statement in part.
Though Stewart skewered Sanchez, he stated that he didn't think the reporter was a bigot and he also attacked the media generally for blowing the story up.

"Ladies and Gentlemen … The Beatles!" Those words spoken by Ed Sullivan marked a beginning of a major change in the lives of thousands of kids, I know because I am one of them. On a cold night in February in St. Louis, Missouri, watching the Beatles performance on TV was a major step for me in the realization that I wanted to be a musician. When my parents called me into the living room to "come and look at these guys," and said laughing, "don't they look ridiculous?" I could not believe that they didn't see and hear that something really important was happening right before our eyes.
I had the opportunity to see the Beatles perform at Busch Memorial Stadium in St. Louis, Missouri on Sunday, August 21, 1966. The pouring rain did not dampen the spirits of the 23,143 screaming kids as the Beatles played. Even though we couldn't hear the Beatles, everyone was overwhelmed by the feeling of being so close to four guys that occupied such a large part of our lives. All of us in the audience were around the same age and were there for the same reason, to be near the Beatles. I felt, for the first time, that I was a part of something bigger than my small world. Without knowing it then, I was in a gathering of baby-boomers, and the impact of our generation would reshape society, and it's rules.
When the Beatles came on to the scene they gave a voice to a generation. Up until then, music was something that our parents listened to. They danced to it, sang along to it, and bought recordings to play on their fancy stereo consoles. I never considered spending my hard earned money on records before the Beatles, and the subsequent wave of British bands from the United Kingdom, came to the US We couldn't use our parents stereos to listen to our records, instead, we had small portable record players with a terrible, tinny sound. But it did not matter, this music was ours and the fact that our parents did not like it made it even better! Listening to the Beatles music gave me a driving desire to play their songs on the guitar and drums, something that I never felt while listening to my parent's music. I would stand in front of a mirror with my Dad's guitar and pretend that I was playing in front of a huge, screaming crowd.
Over the following years I followed my dream to be a musician and the experience of performing in front of people and traveling to different cities is something that I wouldn't trade for anything! Thanks John, George, Paul, and Ringo!

David Heath, Director of Operations at Matrix Games, said, "Years after the release of Starships Unlimited: Divided Galaxies, many of us remain addicted to its unique and elegant take on 4X space strategy. We're looking forward to working with ApeZone again to bring the sequel, Starships Unlimited III, to fans of Divided Galaxies as well as introducing it to a new audience."
Starships Unlimited III will be familiar to fans of the original, but with significant improvements. For starters, exploration has been expanded to four ages of exploration rather than one, with planets revealing more of their secrets as your ability to explore them improves. The focus of exploration is now more peaceful and scientific and allows all races to eventually reach new technology ages through exploration and diligent research. Espionage now includes different types of spies and additional missions, while making the process of recruiting and monitoring your spies easier to manage. New technologies abound as well, including new freighter and colony ship types, larger starships, deathray weapons, hyper drive and defensive fighter flak. Finances are now more challenging and based on skilled labor costs and games can now be limited to a range of technological ages. Finally, the user interface and graphics have been revamped and the computer opponents have been made more challenging, including more possible skill level settings so that you can adjust them to your desired difficulty.
Starships Unlimited III is a space exploration and conquest game where you control every aspect of dominating the universe. Every ship you construct may be customized from around 200 different technologies. From the weapons to the shields and hull, the decision is yours. The potential designs are unlimited and the number of star systems you fight in can range from just a few to an entire galaxy. Conquer space through might of arms, diplomacy, or maybe a little subterfuge. The methods are unlimited but only one race will dominate!
Starships Unlimited III will be available in Fall, 2005.

Phantom limb
|Phantom limb
A phantom limb is the sensation that an amputated or missing limb is still attached to the body and is moving appropriately with other body parts (Mitchell 1871; Melzack 1992; Ramachandran & Hirstein 1998). Approximately 50 to 80% of amputees experience these phantom sensations in their amputated limb, and the majority of these people report that the sensations are painful (Sherman, Sherman & Parker 1984). Phantom sensations and phantom pain, a type of referred pain, may also occur after the removal of body parts other than the limbs, e.g. after amputation of the breast, extraction of a tooth (phantom tooth pain) or removal of an eye (phantom eye syndrome).
Phantom pains can also occur in people who are born without limbs and people who are paralyzed (Ramachandran 1993; Saadah & Melzack 1994). Phantom pains occur when the missing limb causes discomfort. Other induced sensations include warmth, cold, itching, squeezing and burning (Ramachandran & Blakeslee 1998; Ramachandran & Hirstein 1998). The missing limb often feels shorter and may feel as if it is in a distorted and painful position. Occasionally, the pain can be made worse by stress, anxiety and weather changes.
Clinical description
Although not all phantom limbs are painful, patients will sometimes feel as if they are gesturing, feel itches, twitch or even try to pick things up. For example, Ramachandran and Blakeslee describe that some people's representations of their limbs don't actually match what they should be, for example, one patient reported that her phantom arm was about "6 inches too short" (Ramachandran & Blakeslee 1998).
Some people with phantom limbs find that the limb will gesticulate as they talk. (But whether they feel weight of phantom limb while gesticulating is unclear). Given the way that the hands and arms are represented on the motor cortex and language centers, this is not surprising. Some people find that their phantom limb feels and behaves as though it is still there, others find that it begins to take on a life of its own, and doesn't obey their commands.
I placed a coffee cup in front of John and asked him to grab it [with his phantom limb]. Just as he said he was reaching out, I yanked the cup away.
"Ow!" he yelled. "Don't do that!"
"What's the matter?"
"Don't do that", he repeated. "I had just got my fingers around the cup handle when you pulled it. That really hurts!"
Hold on a minute. I wrench a real cup from phantom fingers and the person yells, ouch! The fingers were illusory, but the pain was real - indeed, so intense that I dared not repeat the experiment.— Ramachandran, Phantoms in the Brain, p. 43. (Ramachandran & Blakeslee 1998)
Neurological basis
Until recently, the dominant theory for cause of phantom limbs was irritation in the severed nerve endings (called "neuromas"). When a limb is amputated, many severed nerve endings are terminated at the remaining stump. These nerve endings can become inflamed, and were thought to send anomalous signals to the brain. These signals, being functionally nonsense, were thought to be interpreted by the brain as pain.
Treatments based on this theory were generally failures. In extreme cases, surgeons would perform a second amputation, shortening the stump, with the hope of removing the inflamed nerve endings and causing temporary relief from the phantom pain. But instead, the patients' phantom pains increased, and many were left with the sensation of both the original phantom limb, as well as a new phantom stump, with a pain all its own (Ramachandran & Blakeslee 1998). In some cases, surgeons even cut the sensory nerves leading into the spinal cord or in extreme cases, even removed the part of the thalamus that receives sensory signals from the body.
In the early 1990s, Tim Pons, at the National Institutes of Health (NIH), showed that the brain can reorganize if sensory input is cut off (Pons et al. 1991). Hearing about these results,V. S. Ramachandran realized that phantom limb sensations could be due to "crosswiring" in the somatosensory cortex, which is located in the postcentral gyrus (Ramachandran & Blakeslee 1998; Ramachandran & Hirstein 1998), and which receives input from the limbs and body. Input from the left side of the body goes to the right hemisphere and vice versa. The input from extremities comes into the somatosensory cortex in an ordered way, the representation of which is referred to as the somatosensory homonculus. Input from the hand is located next to the input from the arm, input from the foot is located next to input from the hand, and so on. One oddity is input from the face is located next to input from the hand.
Ramachandran reasoned that if someone were to lose their right hand in an accident, they may then have the feelings of a phantom limb because the input that normally would go from their hand to the left somatosensory cortex would be stopped. The areas in the somatosensory cortex that are near to the ones of the hand (the arm and face) will take over (or "remap") this cortical region that no longer has input. Ramachandran and colleagues first demonstrated this remapping by showing that stroking different parts of the face led to perceptions of being touched on different parts of the missing limb (Ramachandran, Rogers-Ramachandran & Stewart 1992). Through magnetoencephalography (MEG), which permits visualization of activity in the human brain (Yang et al. 1994), Ramachandran verified the reorganization in the somatosensory cortex.
Some treatments include drugs such as antidepressants. Spinal cord stimulation (SCS) can be effective treatment for phantom pain. An electrical stimulator is implanted under the skin, and an electrode is placed next to the spinal cord. The nerve pathways in the spinal cord are stimulated by an electric current. This interferes with the impulses travelling towards the brain and lessens the pain felt in the phantom limb (Melzack 1992). Instead, amputees feel a tingling sensation in the phantom limb.
Vibration therapy, acupuncture, hypnosis and biofeedback may all be used to treat phantom pain but are often of little help. The pain can sometimes be helped by keeping busy and focusing attention on something else. Massaging the stump can sometimes help.
For planned amputation, phantom pain can be reduced by preoperative pain management, effective control of pain by analgesic or neuroleptic is required. The brain seems to implant the sensations from the preoperative state.
One particularly novel treatment for phantom limb pain is the mirror box developed by Ramachandran and colleagues (Ramachandran, Rogers-Ramachandran & Cobb 1995). Through the use of artificial visual feedback it becomes possible for the patient to "move" the phantom limb, and to unclench it from potentially painful positions. Repeated training in some subjects has led to long-term improvement, and in one exceptional case, even to the complete elimination of the phantom limb between the hand and the shoulder (so that the phantom hand was dangling from the shoulder).
More recently, virtual reality has been used to combat the discomfort caused by phantom limb syndrome, [1]. Scientists from the University of Manchester have shown that phantom limb pain can be relieved by attaching the sufferer's real limb to an interface that allows them to see two limbs moving in a computer-generated simulation. This works on a similar principle to the mirror box technique in that the somatosensory cortex is being 'tricked' except that the illusion is stronger.

BTP: Exempt Status in Tax Year 2008 and the 22a Credit
Business Tax Policy: Exempt Status in Tax Year 2008 and the 22a Credit
City Council approved the acceleration of the First Year Adjustment Credit (22a Credit) in December 2008. PCC 7.02.860 C states that "Once the credit amount is determined, the Bureau will apply 100 percent of that amount towards tax payments due and owing for the 2008 license tax year." The purpose of the acceleration by City Council was to provide tax relief to businesses in this current economic downturn.
For purposes of the 22a Credit for tax year 2008 only, a business that files an exemption for 2008 tax year, provided they had actual operations/revenue during the tax year, will be considered to have a 2008 tax year payment due of $0 and be able to claim the 22a Credit, either as a refund or credit the amount to another tax year.
In order to claim the 22a Credit, an exempt business is required to file the Combined Tax Return with supporting documentation instead of the annual exemption form with supporting documentation. They would not be subject to the minimum tax of $100 for either the City or the County on this return. Failure to file the 2008 tax year on the Combined Tax Return will result in a loss of the 22a Credit. The exempt business may request a refund or credit to another year. However, if the business has any balances due on back tax years, the refundable 22a credit must first be used to pay off those balances before any remaining amount can be refunded or carried forward to a future tax year.

But we can't help but to think it's a little strange all the same. Then again, I, for one, would pay big bucks for an Iron Man co-branded antivirus software package.

001. Yesterday I went to the Natural History Museum, I've been a fair few times before but my flatmate hadn't been so I decided to go along too. I was going to go to the British Design exhibition at the V&A but we couldn't go in the end. Im hoping to go at some point before it closes as it really looks awesome. I've lived in London about three months now and this is the first "cultural thing" I've actually done! Shame on me!
002. It's my Birthday on Friday! Im supposed going home at some point during this time (haven't I been saying that for weeks now?), but I still haven't decided when Im actually going, much to my parents dismay! Im so busy this week with meetings and potentially exciting stuff so I've had to photograph all my outfits in advance for next week. I never ever done that before so it was so weird actually changing into loads of outfits ready for the week. I am really looking forward to next week as there is some really exciting and inspiring stuff going on. It's not really blog related so most people won't be interested but Im not talking about it properly until its confirmed!
003. I spent this morning catching up on my favourite TV shows. I think Sunday mornings are all about catching up on TV! As always, if you have any recommendations for series I could get into then leave them in the comments. Im such a TV addict, I always need background noise when Im doing something! I hate silence when I'm on the computer or doing stuff!
004. I bought some new makeup storage after seeing Lily mention that she got a drawer system from Ikea. My stuff is currently sitting in loads of old glossy boxes and an old wooden storage chest I got before my collection really started to expand. I love storage and Im such a homeware nerd! Oh and after last week's recommendations plea for bedding I went with the Urban Outfitters recommendation and bought the Alice and Wonderland Pillow cases (now sold out!) and Im going to get a white duvet cover (with a black under sheet, so I don't get fake tan all over it!).

Multilayered play of power relationships takes cues from novel by masochism's namesake
Most organizations' official mission statements are not notable for being especially suggestive, but something about the play "Venus in Fur" manages to make San Diego Rep's guiding principles sound a little steamy.
"We produce intimate, exotic and provocative theater," says Rep artistic director Sam Woodhouse, fielding a question about how David Ives' work figures into the theater's overall programming. "And the play fits those three words perfectly."
Kim Rubinstein, who is codirecting "Venus in Fur" with Woodhouse, adds a few more words (ones not appearing in the mission statement) to describe the play: "It's sexy and funny and mysterious and complicated."
It's also a 2012 best-play Tony Award nominee, and this year has become the most-produced theater piece nationwide, according to the Theatre Communications Group.
The two-actor work takes its inspiration from an 1870 novel by Leopold von Sacher-Masoch, whose name birthed the word "masochism." The novel delves into matters of power, desire and dominance; the play adds multiple layers via a story about a male director casting an actress to appear in a "Furs" stage adaptation. (Their relationship winds up mirroring the one in the book.)
Did you know?
In just her second Broadway show, Nina Arianda won a Tony Award in 2012 for playing Vanda in "Venus in Fur."
Rubinstein is head of the undergraduate acting program at UC San Diego, and Woodhouse had worked with her once before, when she consulted on the 2010 Rep production of "boom" and developed what he calls the "wild physicality" of that show.
Woodhouse sought similar expertise for "Venus" (Rubinstein is trained in a school of stage movement known as Viewpoints). "And at the risk of sounding politically correct, I thought it would be good to have a man and a woman" directing, he adds.
The theater, by the way, is being very upfront that "Venus" (which stars Rep returnee Jeffrey Meek and newcomer Caroline Kinsolving) is strictly for those 18 and older.
"It's not pornography, but it's certainly kinky," says Woodhouse. "It explores things like submission and worship and suppression and power." It's also "very witty, situationally funny. It's exposing vulnerabilities."
And not just between the characters, says Rubinstein.
"It requires a real vulnerability from both actors," she says. "The play is very funny, and that helps. But for the actors, it requires them to be private in public."

Q - What are Memory Cross cards made of and how durable are they?
A - The small Memory Cross cards are printed on 10 point coated board (think playing cards). The larger cards which measure 6 x 6 inches are printed on 100 lb. uncoated cover (think Hallmark card). We've tested each size and they hold up to hundreds of folds. The larger cards hold up longer because the "hinges" that allow them to fold are larger. We've tested the larger cards to fold over 500 times. That being said it is still important for the cards to be folded properly. Most children can figure it out on their own but if you are giving them to 4 or 4 year olds we recommend that you show them how it works. If you do not know how they work, we've created a video that you can watch by clicking here.
Q - What guarantee do you offer?
A - Memory Cross offers a 100% money back guarantee if you are not happy for any reason. We even pick up the cost of shipping the product back. Here is the link to our full return policy.

- Mungo….
Grandson of the British prince Lothus; son of Saint Theneva. Hermit. Monk. Missionary to Scotland, beginning at Cathures. Bishop of the Strathclyde Britons in the area of modern Glasgow in 540. He taught and led there for 13 years, living in great austerity. Exiled in 553 during an anti–Christian uprising by local pagans, he fled to Menevia, Wales, where he stayed with Saint David of Wales. He founded a monastery at Llanelwy, and served as its first abbot. He returned to Scotland in 573, evangelizing the areas of Galloway and Cumberland. He returned to Glasgow in 581 and led his people there for his remaining 22 years. Apostle to northwest England and southwest Scotland.
Glasgow's Coat of Arms includes a bird, a fish, a bell and a tree, the symbols of Kentigern.
- The Bird commemorates the pet robin owned by Saint Serf, which was accidentally killed by monks who blamed it on Saint Kentigern. Saint Kentigern took the bird in his hands and prayed over it, restoring it to life.
- The Fish was one caught by Saint Kentigern in the Clyde River. When it was slit open, a ring belonging to the Queen of Cadzow was miraculously found inside it. The Queen was suspected of intrigue by her husband, and that she had left with his ring. She has asked Saint Kentigern for help, and he found and restored the ring in this way to clear her name.
- The Bell may have been given to Saint Kentigern by the Pope. The original bell, which was tolled at funerals, no longer exists and was replaced by the magistrates of Glasgow in 1641. The bell of 1641 is preserved in the People's Palace.
- The Tree is symbol of an incident in Saint Kentigern's childhood. Left in charge of the holy fire in Saint Serf's monastery, he fell asleep and the fire went out. However he broke off some frozen branches from a hazel tree and miraculously re-kindled the fire.
- 13 January 603 in Glasgow, Scotland of natural causes
- relics in the crypt of the Kentigern cathedral, Glasgow
May the will of God be wrought in all of us, and let Him do unto us all as seems to Him best, according to His perfect knowledge. – Saint Kentigern

CHICAGO, Jan. 8 (UPI) -- The Illinois attorney general has filed a petition to have a judicial ruling striking down a ban on concealed handguns reviewed.
Lisa Madigan's petition asks the full U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit to review the December appeals panel ruling that the state's longtime ban on carrying concealed weapons in public violates the Second Amendment, the Chicago Tribune said Tuesday.
If the court accepts the petition the case will be re-heard by all 10 appellate judges; if the petition is rejected the attorney general could ask the U.S. Supreme Court for review.
"In ruling that Illinois must allow individuals to carry ready-to-use firearms in public, the Seventh Circuit Court's decision goes beyond what the U.S. Supreme Court has held," Madigan said in a statement issued Tuesday.
The appeals court ruling pertains to a landmark decision of the U.S. Supreme Court in 2010, McDonald vs. Chicago, in which it was determined the Second Amendment's right to "keep and bear arms" is protected, and applies to state law.

Why would someone want to share sensitive information to anyone else at all over the internet? I would not bother with that, and I would not restrict all chiller discussions to the point where new people can't even learn about chillers from this forum.
I am pretty sure no one is permitted to discuss sensitive information with other people anyway.

text:
3 Italian eggplants, cut into planks
1-2 cup(s) matzo meal
1/2-1 tablespoon hot Mexican chile powder
2 eggs, beaten
freshly ground black pepper
dipping sauce:
3 tablespoons hummus, at room temperature*
3 tablespoons labne, at room temperature
1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika
Pour the egg into a shallow bowl. Then mix together the matzo meal and the spices in a second shallow bowl. Coat both sides of each eggplant slice in egg, then dip both sides in the matzo meal. Heat about a 1/4 inch of oil in a large skillet.
Fry each plank in the hot oil, about 3 minutes on each side, until golden. If frying in batches, keep the cooked eggplant in the oven at 200 until ready to eat.
Stir together the dip ingredients. Serve the dip at room temperature and the eggplant very hot.
*I actually just used some Mediterranean style hummus by Tribe and not homemade. Just make sure you use really smooth hummus or the sauce is a little less dippable.

Say what now? The headline may contain words unlikely to share each others' company, but the build is real. It's from Sweden's SVK Customs, and by "it," I mean a Ferrari 550 GTR: carbon-fiber body, BMW heart, drift-car steering angle.
This is one drift car you'll be loathe to put into a wall during a battle against Vaughn Gittin Jr. The shop fabricated its own carbon-fiber body kit for the now-widebody 550 — 7.15 feet wide in the rear and 6.99 in the front. To make sure both sides were symmetrical, they used a 3D scanner on the first side and then used a CNC mill to mill polystyrene plugs to fabricate the other side, using CAD drawings made from the 3D scans. Tech = high.
The suspension and uprights are also custom, as are the center-bolt hubs, though the racing airjacks (of course it's got airjacks) are from AP.
As per the requirements of the drifting milieu, the 550's steering angle will be in the neighborhood of 55 degrees. Did someone say angle of attack? Yes they did.
For motive power, SVK is keeping the Ferrari drivetrain, but swapping in a BMW V8 they had lying around the shop. Apparently the V12 can't withstand more than 600 hp. These guys want four digits on the dyno.
And (if you can tamp down that urge toward righteous automotive indignation long enough), you'll want to check out the parts of this build thread dealing with carbon-fiber fabrication work. CF geeks will indeed get a raging carbie over this stuff.
BTW, if the Ferrari's not your thing, the thread also spotlights a few other of the shop's projects, including a Mercedes-Benz 500E W124 converted to touring-car spec, A carbon-fiber Cosworth Escort (CarbonCossie), a carboned-out Skyline and the shop owner's M5 powered 635 CSI and BMW 3.0 S. Serious shop-crush time.
And they still have time for a quick Maserati engine swap, just for fun. Epic shop is epic. Getting inspired for winter projects yet? (Hat-tip to Canaille!)

What is Superbrothers: Sword & Sworcery EP, the mysterious adventure game with a funny name? If you read our GDC coverage of the game, you know. If not...
It's an iPhone adventure game that's been getting its fair share of attention over the past few months, and a post over on Offworld today offers a tantalizing update. Sword & Sworcery, they say, "will modify itself based on the phases of moon in the real world." How? Something to do with mushrooms.
The game takes minimalist cues from titles such as Another World and Ico, drawing you into the game's world by, well, withholding much of that world from you. Story-telling through restraint, if you will, an art form rarely practised in video games today, many of which require prequels and comic books just to tell you it's a story about aliens and guns.
Equally striking is the bare-bones art style, which I imagine is what would have happened were Hellboy's Mike Mignola making games for the Amiga in the early 90's.
Sword & Sworcery will be out later this year on the iPhone.
