Superman : the many worlds of Krypton
\"One lone survivor of Krypton became the greatest hero in the universe--Superman. But before its destruction, the Man of Steel's birthplace was home to legions of heroes and heretics who molded their society into the technological wonderland it would become. Take a look into the time before there was a Superman and walk with his ancestors to uncover the tales of their lost civilization! From some of the industry's greatest creators come the life and times of Jor-El, father of Superman; the story of a forbidden love that would ignite a civil war and lead to the eventual destruction of the entire planet; and the Kryptonian legends that defined their history.\"-- Provided by publisher.

Neuroaffective Processing in Criminal Psychopaths: Brain Event-Related Potentials Reveal Task-Specific Anomalies
This study aimed to confirm neuroaffective processing deficits in psychopaths by measuring late brain event-related potential (ERP) components and behavior in groups of psychopathic and nonpsychopathic inmates of a Singaporean prison while they performed two tasks. In a Categorization task, affective stimuli were task-relevant and required focused attention, while in a Vigilance task, affective pictures were presented in the background while participants discriminated vertical from oblique lines. Psychopaths showed differences in late positive ERPs that were sensitive to affective stimulus properties (valence and arousal) in the Categorization, but not in the Vigilance task, suggesting that only under conditions of focused attention did psychopaths show a neuroaffective processing deficit. In the Categorization task, psychopaths also showed a significantly larger prefrontal negative ERP (N350) whose amplitude correlated positively with the behavioral facet of psychopathy. In the Vigilance task, psychopaths both missed more targets and showed significantly smaller target-evoked parietal ERPs when viewing arousing pictures, suggesting their attentional focus was disrupted by the affective background.

Cortical Correlates of Impaired Self-Regulation in Personality Disordered Patients with Traits of Psychopathy
Psychopathic personality disordered patients would, by virtue of a failure to self-regulate, be expected to show diminished amplitudes of feedback-related brain potentials. Among a sample of personality disordered patients detained at different levels of security, those who met a Psychopathy Checklist (PCL) criterion of 25 or above were identified (N = 27). Their event-related brain potentials (ERPs), together with those of their nonpsychopathic counterparts (N = 22) and healthy male controls (N = 20), were measured while they performed a visual Go/No Go task, with feedback given for correct and incorrect performance. Psychopathic patients showed a significantly reduced amplitude of an early frontal negative ERP component maximally evoked by negative feedback, and a high rate of errors of commission. Findings are consistent with the idea that psychopathic patients' unsuccessful attempts to self-regulate reflect a cognitive deficit characterised by a failure to attend and respond to a mismatch between expected and obtained outcomes.

Implementing Intrusion Kill Chain Strategies
This paper extends the work of the Lockheed Martin research team on intrusion kill chains (the identification and prevention of cyber intrusions) in 2010. The theory has languished in the network defender community not because it is not the right idea, but because most InfoSec teams do not have the resources to implement it. What has prevented the success of the intrusion kill chain strategy is a standard framework to collect the intelligence associated with specific adversaries, to share and consume that standardized intelligence with trusted partners, and then to automatically process that intelligence and distribute new prevention controls to the network defender’s security stack. The adversary playbook is that framework.

Let's Move in School- A State Perspective
[...]Pennsylvania is now one of the nationwide leaders in the LMIS initiative. Under the leadership of Bettyann Creighton, director of health and physical education, Philadelphia schools not only supported PSAHPERD initiatives throughout the city but also enjoyed the following success: * socialized recess, now at more than 100 schools; * movement breaks in the classroom with lots of on-site professional development for teachers; * partnership with Activity Works (290 classroom teachers using Activity Works movement breaks); * resurrection of a learn-to-skate initiative called Good Skates (36 classes went for ice skating lessons); * participation in the Presidential Activity Lifestyle Award challenge as 1 of the 10 largest districts in the country (K12); * ING Run for Something Better (more than 1,000 students running in September); * Students Run Philly Style (more than 500 participants, Grades 6 through 12; * virtual fitness centers using the Wii and Zavix systems; * more than 700 stability balls in classrooms (substituting balls for chairs); * the use of pedometers in class and walking clubs; * more than 40 sport stacking teams that compete every spring; * health councils, both adult and youth, which have helped to carry the message of increased physical activity and better nutritional choices (173 schools); * schools with youth councils, which have applied for and been awarded FUTP60 funds to continue this work.
