PROVIDENCE, R.I. - The University of Pennsylvania women's soccer team got a goal from junior defender Haley Cooper, her first collegiate goal, and that was enough as the Quakers defeated Brown, 1-0, Saturday night at Stevenson Field.
With the win, Penn (11-1-4 overall)moved to 4-1-1 in Ivy League play and sole possession of second place. With one match left, however, the Ivy title is out of reach after Harvard defeated Dartmouth 2-1 earlier in the day to improve to an insurmountable 6-0-0 in conference. Brown started the night tied with Penn for second place, but fell to 3-2-1 in Ivy play and 8-6-1 overall.
So Penn willclose out the regular seasonagainstPrinceton next Friday night at 6 p.m. with no shot at the Ivy League title. However, the Quakers' at-large hopes for an NCAA Championship bid remain alive, especially with tonight's road win against a team that entered the week 71st in the Ratings Percentage Index.
Cooper's goal came in just the second minute of the match off a free kick. Brianna Rano sent the ball in, and Cooper headed it home at the far post.
Penn outshot Brown 15-7 on the night, and Kalijah Terilli made three saves to backstop the Quakers' 12th shutout this season.

Management of Malignant Biliary Obstruction: Nonoperative and Palliative Techniques
Management of Malignant Biliary Obstruction: Nonoperative and Palliative Techniques
Biliary tract drainage, with or without placement of an endoprosthesis, is used as a palliative therapy for malignant biliary obstruction. The first truly internal endoprostheses represented a distinct improvement over internal-external catheters but still remained patent for only 4 to 6 months. Metallic stents have a long-term patency of 6 to 8 months. At present, it appears that patients with unresectable pancreatic cancer should be palliated with endoscopically placed plastic or metal stents, whereas those with malignant obstructions higher in the biliary tree are probably better managed with transhepatically placed stents. The combination of brachytherapy plus external-beam radiation followed by implantation of a Gianturco metal stent may be a viable approach to treating obstructions in patients with cholangiocarcinoma. For those with other noncholangiocarcinomas, particularly when life expectancy exceeds anticipated stent patency duration, the Wallstent may be the device of choice.
Whereas surgery is still the gold standard for eradicating biliary and other intestinal tumors, percutaneous transhepatic biliary drainage, with or without placement of an endoprosthesis, has become an integral part of the treatment of biliary obstruction over the past 15 years[1,2]. Biliary drainage is a well-accepted means of palliation for malignant biliary obstruction that has been used both preoperatively and as the primary treatment in patients whose disease is deemed unresectable [3].
Billiary Tract Drainage
Role in Treating Different Tumors
Biliary obstruction is caused by a wide range of tumors, and therefore, therapy of the obstruction differs markedly, depending on the lesion involved. Ampullary carcinoma is preferably treated surgically with a Whipple procedure, and endoscopic biliary drainage is employed only in exceptionally high-risk patients or those with metastatic disease. In contrast, carcinoma of the pancreas is frequently treated by biliary drainage, as the majority of patients with this cancer present with advanced disease. In this situation, the drainage is often performed endoscopically, since the primary stricture is usually low-lying within the common bile duct.
High obstruction at the ductal confluence, which is beyond the reach of most endoscopists, may be caused by cholangiocarcinoma, gallbladder carcinoma, or adenopathy in the porta hepatis secondary to a variety of metastases. Biliary drainage is often the primary therapy for gallbladder carcinoma and adenopathy in the porta hepatis, since, by the time gallbladder carcinoma causes biliary obstruction, it is usually inoperative. Cholangiocarcinoma, when resectable, may be treated operatively with a hepaticojejunostomy. However, the majority of patients with a Klatzkin-type stricture at the bile duct confluence have more extensive intrahepatic disease at presentation that precludes curative surgical resection and/or pose too great a surgical risk.
Postoperative patients may also develop jaundice secondary to biliary obstruction. The concern in such patients is usually recurrent malignancy; however, a stricture may simply represent a late-presenting anastomotic stenosis. Benign anastomotic stenoses are well-treated by biliary drainage combined with balloon dilatation, whereas palliative drainage is the treatment of choice for recurrent disease [4].
Jaundice alone is not an indication for percutaneous transhepatic biliary drainage. The general indications for biliary tract drainage are jaundice associated with cholangitis, sepsis, pruritus, and nausea and vomiting leading to dehydration and malnutrition. In patients with these symptoms, biliary drainage offers significant palliation, and the benefits of the procedure outweigh the major risks, which include bleeding, bacteremia and/or sepsis, hepatic injury, and pneumothorax. Initial transhepatic cholangiography is necessary to define the extent of an obstruction, particularly with cholangiocarcinoma, and to plan for surgery.
Preoperative biliary drainage in patients who are jaundiced but otherwise asymptomatic, especially those with carcinoma of the pancreas, has not been found to be beneficial, but should be employed in the rare patient presenting with acute ascending cholangitis. Occasionally, the presence of a catheter in the extrahepatic bile duct may assist the surgeon in creating a biliary bypass, in which case preoperative endoscopic or transhepatic drainage may be considered.
Drainage Devices
Biliary drainage was first described in 1974 by Molnar and Stockum [5] and was popularized in 1978 by Ring, who developed a suitable catheter for internal drainage [3]. Initially, external drainage was the treatment of choice, but it has the inconvenience of a catheter with bile draining into a bag. Prolonged external drainage of bile has the added disadvantage of electrolyte loss leading to metabolic imbalance. Occasionally, however, it may be necessary, particularly in patients who have high intra-abdominal or intraluminal pressures within the duodenum and who have persistent leaks alongside their catheter. Various techniques have been developed to readminister this "lost" bile enterically, but these are often quite difficult to tolerate.
Internal-External Catheters--As a result of these problems, internal drainage with an internal-external catheter became the standard therapy for nearly 10 years. These transhepatic catheters are designed with side holes both above and below the level of obstruction in the biliary tree; the tip of the catheter resides within the bowel, so that bile drains through the catheter across the obstruction and out of the side holes into the duodenum. Although biliary obstructions are usually complete, it is almost always possible for a trained interventional radiologist to negotiate through a stricture with a combination of guidewires and catheters under fluoroscopic guidance. With placement of an internally draining catheter, nutrition is improved, and metabolic imbalance no longer becomes an issue.
Most transhepatic biliary catheters are routinely changed every 2 months to avoid any chance of obstruction.
If such problems as deep pain, fever (> 101° F), or leakage around the catheter onto the dressing develop, they can be managed simply by exchanging the catheter for a new one. However, external-internal catheters are a potential source of bacterial infection, are prone to dislodgment and obstruction, and may be uncomfortable.
Furthermore, for many patients the external catheter is a constant reminder of their cancer. Less frequently, it may be regarded as a "lifeline," the device that saved the patient from death. Therefore, maintenance of the catheter becomes the main focus of the patient's life, and any problems that develop may be perceived as a threat to his or her existence. Both of these psychologically disruptive feelings encouraged the search for a truly internal device.
Early Internal Devices--The first devices to achieve this goal were a variety of endoprostheses, particularly the Carey-Coons stent (12 French [4 mm] in diameter), which is used for distal common bile duct strictures, such as that seen with carcinoma of the pancreas; and the Miller stent, a double mushroom design used for more proximal disease, as can be seen with cholangiocarcinoma. These devices were designed to be implanted following an initial trial of internal-external drainage. If internal drainage was achieved satisfactorily by capping an internal-external catheter (thereby forcing bile to flow into the duodenum), the internal-external catheter could then be exchanged for an endoprosthesis that was positioned over a guidewire, after which the percutaneous access site was allowed to heal over.
Because nothing protrudes externally from the patient's side, internal stents are generally tolerated much better by patients. However, the expected patency of these synthetic catheters is only on the order of 4 to 6 months. Radiologists originally used Teflon for these catheters, but this material was found to have a high rate of encrustation with sludge and bacteria, which are the predominant sources of catheter obstruction.
Metallic Stents--In the late 1980s metallic stents came into use (see Figure 1). These self-expanding stents may be introduced through a sheath the same size as the initial biliary drainage catheter. When deployed, they expand up to 10 mm (30 French) in diameter [6].
In essence, the theoretical advantage of metallic stents is that they provide a significantly larger lumen within the bile duct without creating a large access hole within the liver. It was believed that a much larger lumen would allow for a considerable increase in patency. Furthermore, metal is not reactive in the biliary tree, and progressively becomes incorporated into the wall of the bile duct over several weeks' time.
In reality, however, patency remains a problem with stented malignant biliary tract obstructions. Tumor ingrowth through the struts of the stent and overgrowth over the ends of the stent have proved to be major limitations of these newer devices. [7] The wider struts of the zigzag Gianturco Z stent appear particularly susceptible to tumor ingrowth. The woven mesh of the Wallstent design was first reported by European researchers to be better, but it, too, is susceptible to both tumor overgrowth and occasional ingrowth [8].
To avoid tumor overgrowth and ingrowth, stenting over an extended length of duct has been recommended. However, it does not totally solve these problems. Silicone coating of the stents has been proposed and tried in Europe, but no long-term data are available. Inspissated bile may obstruct these stents, despite their relatively large diameters.
Recent work suggests that the long-term patency of metal stents alone in the treatment of malignant obstruction is little more than 6 to 8 months [6-8]. However, in patients with carcinoma of the pancreas or gallbladder, whose survival is generally limited, this approach may provide sufficient palliation. Endoscopic stent placement has become the primary approach for most patients with carcinoma of the pancreas, since the obstruction tends to be low-lying in the bile duct. Also, this approach avoids the potential problems of hemobilia and pneumothorax associated with transhepatic drainage. As a technique, endoscopic retrograde stent placement may be less painful for the patient [2,3].

Working in the IT security field, you spend every waking hour striving to improve protection and lower risk. Then another computing technology emerges -- the Internet, wireless networking, mobile computing, social networking, and so on -- and you have to learn every security lesson all over, as if something new and surprising has come along.
In the past few weeks, we've seen authentication token leaks from Facebook; a rise in mobile malware; major networks running without a firewall and with unpatched major software; and an array of security appliance vulnerabilities. Secunia, which doesn't track every software product, is still publishing 250 to 350 vulnerabilities announcements per week. Some of the exploited technologies may be relatively new, but in terms of security, it's really more of the same.
[ Master your security with InfoWorld's interactive Security iGuide. | Stay up to date on the latest security developments with InfoWorld's Security Central newsletter. | Get a dose of daily computer security news by following Roger Grimes on Twitter. ]
Now some people think cloud computing and thin clients will decrease security risks and usher in an age of fewer exploits. I'm not so hopeful.
Thin clients have the potential to be less exploitable, simply because they have fewer lines of code, which should in turn mean fewer bugs, fewer security vulnerabilities, and less attack surface. However, thin clients rely on browsers to do the heavy lifting -- and browsers are the most exploitable pieces of software ever created.
Many readers might still think that Microsoft (my full-time employer) has the most vulnerable browser on the market in Internet Explorer. Surprise, surprise -- every major vendor that has tried to make a significantly less vulnerable browser has failed. Chrome, Firefox, and Safari have vulnerabilities numbering in the hundreds -- far more than Internet Explorer in the same time periods. It turns out making a truly secure browser is harder than it looks.
Further, the forthcoming thin client OSes use these same browsers to do most of the end-user work. How can we expect an entire OS platform to be more secure if the major single application they rely on has hundreds of bugs?
One good argument could be that these forthcoming client computers will have less functionality. They won't allow users to save files (or even states) locally. If the end-user can't save to their machines, it's going to be a lot tougher for malware writers and hackers to manipulate those computers, right? Probably not.
First, just as users aren't supposed to care where their data or profiles are located, malware writers won't care either. Wherever you are allowed to write data, the bad guy will follow. It's merely a change in locale, and as bank robbers break into banks because that's where the money is, the same principle applies here.
Second, I'm already hearing hedges. For example, end-users are asking how they will be able to work on their data files when they aren't connected to the Internet or the vendor cloud. The thin client vendors are replying that the users can work with a locally cached copy while offline. Get that? Users can't save files to their computer, but their computer will save cached copies locally. What's the difference between that computing model and the current PC model? Not much.

Notable FactsThe main regions of Chile include Maipo (pronounced MY-poh), known for reds like Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Carmenere; Casablanca Valley, a region producing delicious Sauvignon Blanc, as well as other whites & some reds; Colchaugua, an inland district creating amazing red wines from Syrah and Cabernet Sauvignon, particularly in the Apalta sub-region; and Rapel Valley, settled right under Maipo and producing the same red varietals. A couple of smaller regions to watch include Limari and Elqui, two valleys further north, producing some delicious cool-climate Chardonnay and Bio Bio, an area further south, which is also focused on cool-climate varieties. Chilean wines are growing in exports and more consumers are enjoying the delicious values coming from the country. Red wines of the region, though they cannot be generalized, make the whole gamut of wine quality – quaffable to collectible. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot & Carmenere are the main players, though Syrah is also making a splash. Some of the best reds are blends of the above varieties. As for whites, Sauvignon Blanc is typically crisp, herbal and racy, while Chardonnay is richer in style with full-bodied texture and tropical fruit flavors.

AGTS News: Priscilla Mondt ('88) honored as Champion of Change in White House ceremony
On Tuesday, March 19, 2013 AGTS alum Priscilla Mondt ('88, pictured left) and thirteen other women veterans were honored as Champions of Change by Department of Veterans Affairs Secretary Eric Shinseki and First Lady Michelle Obama during a White House ceremony. After honorably serving their country, these women went on to provide exemplary leadership in many areas at the local, state, regional or national level.
"These remarkable women continue serving our country with honor and grace, even long after they return from deployment. They have spent countless hours fighting for our freedom, and now advocate for their fellow veterans in a variety of areas—health, domestic violence, policy advocacy, homelessness, education, and business empowerment, and more. Their examples of courage, perseverance, and selflessness both abroad and state-side are incredibly humbling, and serve as an inspiration for men and women across the country," said Valerie Jarrett, Senior Advisor to the President and Chair of the White House Council on Women and Girls.
Chaplain Priscilla Mondt serves as chief of chaplain service at Veterans Affairs Medical Center (VHSO), Fayetteville, Arkansas where she is responsible for a comprehensive spiritual care program. She is a visionary leader whose innovative approach to spiritual care, from personal care to technology, set a high standard for addressing the needs of Veteran patients and families.
Chaplain Mondt has the distinction of being the first female chaplain assigned to the 82nd Airborne Division and the first female chaplain endorsed by the Assemblies of God in both the Army and the Veteran's Administration.
Mondt retired from military service in 2005 after 31 years in the Army and deployments to Korea and the first and second Gulf Wars (82nd Airborne Division, 4th Infantry Division, respectively). She is the recipient of the Bronze Star and Legion of Merit. She served as a United Nations chaplain in Haiti during Operation Uphold Democracy. She began her career by enlisting in the Women's Army Corps, became an officer, serving as a company commander and personnel officer, and finished her military service as a chaplain.
Her office at the VHSO serves approximately 55,000 veterans spread over northwest Arkansas, southwest Missouri and eastern Oklahoma.

Chantal just north of Barbados, struggling to maintain strength
Maximum sustained winds remain near 50 MPH. Surface observations indicate the strongest winds are well to the north or northeast of the center of Chantal. The core of the tropical storm is still struggling to organize, and dissipation could occur as the storm interacts with the Lesser Antilles today or some of the larger islands in the Caribbean late tomorrow.
Tropical Storm Warnings are in effect for much of the Lesser Antilles and Puerto Rico. Tropical Storm Watches are in effect for Hispanola. The official forecast track from the National Hurricane Center takes the center of Chantal over Hispanola Wednesday into Thursday. On this track, the storm may not survive its interaction with the mountainous island. Due to this, there is an unusually high amount of uncertainty in regards to the intensity forecast past Thursday.
If the circulation survives its interaction with the islands in the Caribbean, conditions will become favorable for intensification over the Bahamas by Friday.
The southeastern United States should monitor the progress of this storm. Stay tuned for updates.

As often happens, my Facebook life overlaps my Patheos life. This morning I was sipping my coffee and getting ready to head to work when I happened upon a "mathhab" discussion on a friend's status update. What is a mathhab? It is a school of thought. Briefly, there are four major scholars whose religious rulings are commonly referred to by Muslims seeking knowledge. These scholars lived way back when, and at the time they were not consciously creating these schools of thought. They simply ha … [Read more...]

Awesome performance. Best of luck to him in hitting the big show.
Baroni - "I'm the man, the fucking man, the best ever, ever"
Joy to watch!
Great Achievement
Great fighter and seems like a really sound guy. Best of luck to him!
An absolute monster of a man.
Getting the attention of people everywhere too. Saw the other day that Joe Rogan tweeted him saying he hoped to see him in the UFC soon after seeing the fight.
3-2-0 Pro Fighter managed by TFL Sports Agency
Would definitely like to see Conor vs Mick Sinclair now that Sinclair has come out of retirement.
That'd be a proper mental fight.
Coffee drinker, prefer Pepsi and I'm kind of a big deal.

by Vyckie Garrison Recently I wrote this to my atheist uncle, Ron:So here's a big question for you: do you believe in free will? I've been thinking a lot about it lately, I can't really believe we do have free will. It seems to me that so much of our decision-making is influenced by circumstances completely beyond our control - circumstances which we did not choose. Plus - I don't know anyone who has managed to actually carry out all their good intentions to live a good life with honesty and integrity. We all want to live well - but things happen and we end up somewhere near the opposite of what we planned.For example - I really and truly did not want to have any … [Read more...]

Sugar Bowlers to be Inducted Into Hall of Fame
Monday, May 4, 2009
Four former Allstate Sugar Bowl participants are among the 18 members of the 2009 College Football Hall of Fame Class as announced by Archie Manning, the chairman of the National Football Foundation and College Football Hall of Fame. Manning, himself, is a member of the College Football Hall of Fame as well as a former Most Outstanding Player of the 1970 Sugar Bowl. He is also a member of the Allstate Sugar Bowl Committee.
The four former Sugar Bowl participants gaining induction to the college hall of fame are Woodrow Lowe (Alabama, 1973), Gino Torretta (Miami, 1990, 1993), Curt Warner (Penn State, 1983) and Dick MacPherson (head coach, Syracuse, 1988).
Other notables joining the Sugar Bowl alums in the College Football Hall of Fame class of 2009 are Tim Brown (Notre Dame), Chris Spielman (Ohio State), Pat Swilling (Georgia Tech), Curt Warner (Penn State), Grant Wistrom (Nebraska) and coach John Robinson (Southern California and Nevada-Las Vegas). All totaled, 16 First Team All-America players and two legendary coaches will be officially enshrined at the Hall in South Bend, Ind., during ceremonies in the summer of 2010.

A Meckel's diverticulum is a pouch on the wall of the lower part of the intestine that is present at birth (congenital). The diverticulum may contain tissue that is the same as tissue of the stomach or pancreas.
A Meckel's diverticulum is tissue left over from when the baby's digestive tract was forming before birth. A small number of people have a Meckel's diverticulum, but only a few develop symptoms.
Symptoms often occur during the first few years of life, but they may not start until adulthood.
You may have the following tests:
You may need surgery to remove the diverticulum if bleeding develops. The segment of small intestine that contains the diverticulum is surgically removed. The ends of the intestine are sewn back together.
You may need iron replacement to correct anemia. If you have a lot of bleeding, you may need a blood transfusion.
You can expect a full recovery with surgery.
See your health care provider right away if your child passes blood or bloody stool or has ongoing complaints of abdominal pain.

Cognac is to brandy what Scotch is to whisky. Characterized by its production in France, cognac is a variety of brandy made from white wine grapes. Known as a more expensive variation, Wine Chateau has cognac for sale at better rates than stores – and you don't even have to leave your couch to get it. Take a load off – you've earned it – and allow us to bring it to you. Check for deals on free shipping for even greater savings.
As with Scotch, cognac must adhere to certain laws and regulations to deserve the label, and aging is based on the youngest cognac used in the blend. The ingredients used must be white wine grapes from a specific growing region, so be mindful of this requirement when you buy cognac. As with other brandy variations, the wine used is high in acidity but perfect for distilling repeatedly and aging for long periods. Cognac must be distilled twice in copper stills and matured in oak casks for a minimum of two years. Many are aged longer to bring out more complex flavors and intensity. Check the grade of your cognac purchase. The longer the aging process, the higher the grade. Choose the right grade for you based on aromas, flavor profile and price point.
Although we would never presume to tell you how to do your drinking, cognac is best enjoyed neat. A slight mixer or a bit of water is not unheard of, but be careful not to disturb the quality of a good cognac. If you're adding water to an XO (high quality, extra old) cognac, it might as well be the tears of a connoisseur weeping over the tragedy. Wine Chateau has a superior selection of XO cognac for sale for those hunting for premium quality. We recommend sipping this strong-bodied spirit to appreciate its full complexity. You may note the fruitiness in its profile as well as its warmth.
Whichever way you choose to drink your cognac, enjoy the savings and service of Wine Chateau. Browse and buy Hennessy, Remy Martin, Martell, Courvoisier and other brands at the top of cognac production. Splurge on a high-grade bottle, or find something that allows you to indulge in the fine spirit without foregoing mortgage payments. Shop online today at Wine Chateau.

George L. Barnett: We are all of the same tribe
Published: Friday, November 9, 2012 at 4:19 p.m.
Last Modified: Friday, November 9, 2012 at 4:19 p.m.
The presidential election is over and it is clear that there are many people who are dissatisfied by the result. If that dissatisfaction is because the reelected president is black, and not for some other reason, then the people who feel that way need to look deeply within themselves.
We are all human beings no matter if we believe that we are descended from Adam and Eve 6,000 or so years ago or from Lucy or her kind, an African hominid or precursor to current mankind, of a million or more years ago. Whether we are pinkish, tan, white, black, brown, yellow or reddish; one thing we must all agree upon is that we are all human beings. None of us are aliens from another planet.
If the Caucasian people who picked the loser in this presidential election feel that they need be frightened because they are becoming a smaller and smaller majority of the population of this country and need to protect themselves against all of the minorities whose ranks are growing here, then they are marginalizing themselves. No person of color wants to take the job or the wealth of any white person; all he wants is a job and wealth of his own. No person who is not of the Caucasian race wants to take the college position of any Caucasian, he or she simply wants a college seat of his own.
In the movie, "Guess Who's Coming to Dinner," Sidney Poitier says to his father, "You think of yourself as a black man, and I think of myself as a man." It is time that we stopped thinking of ourselves as white, black or brown, or of ourselves as Jews, Christians or Muslims and starting realizing that we are all Americans and we all believe in and want the same things for ourselves and our families; a job, an education, good health and equal chances for that elusive goal, happiness.
We don't need to forget our differences. We can be red headed or blond or brown haired, and we can have very different attitudes and beliefs and cultures, but we don't need to alienate ourselves from each other while we remember our differences. We need to remember that we are all of the same tribe: We are all human beings and we are all Americans. We all need to start acting like it.

text: Well, as the wiki says, if you have little/no linux experience, BackTrack may not be the right distro with which to start. Before digging into BackTrack, I would strongly suggest learning linux command-line stuff first. I don't think you have to know linux inside and out, but trying to tackle BackTrack without prior linux knowledge is going to be very difficult.

Here's a screenshot!
I'm using BT3 HD install as my sole OS these days...it does everything you need and more. Now that I got compiz running, the look and feel is great and far surpasses any MS OS I have used.
*HP DV6000 with NVIDIA GeForce Go 7400
*HD install from modified USB (nvidia module added before install)
I'm totally new to this but I got it working great now (I'm hoping this helps someone else, but it's for future reference as well! ...here's what I did:
*Download the USB version of BT3 from the WIKI, first .torrent link on home page;
*Boot off the CD first (or other Linux install), then run ./bootinst.sh from within BOOT folder on stick (instructions are in the download); this makes the stick bootable;
*reboot, from USB stick.
*Download the NVIDIA.lzm from the WIKI, move it into the "optional" folder on the USB stick, under BT3 folder;
*Create a NVIDIA module (full instructions on the WIKI under How-To):
*Edit your syslinux.cfg file ON THE USB DRIVE, in the NVIDIA section; make it look like this:Code:bt ~ # cd /tmp bt tmp # mkdir MODULE bt tmp # mkdir -p MODULE/usr/bin bt tmp # cp myscript.sh MODULE/usr/bin/ bt tmp # dir2lzm MODULE/ nvidia.lzm
*reboot the system; before typing "startx", type "xconf", then "startx"; upon reboot you should have 8 desktops now, and you will see the huge NVIDIA splash!Code:load=nvidia,cubez;startx
*There won't be any window decoration...type in the 2 commands found on the WIKI under compiz...they work! Be sure to right-click the Compiz Fusion Icon in the tray and select "Emerald" as your Window Decorator or you won't have any buttons on your windows!
This is how I did it, I hope I can help another newbie who is having problems because once you get the full version of BT3 installed, you don't really need another OS. It looks and performs GREAT IMO!
Follow the EZConnect to WPA2 tutorial on these forums and you are set!!!
If anyone needs help please ask...I'll do what I can. To the pros here, if I left anything out/posted errors, please let me know.

Hi everybody,
is there any possibility to use db_autopwn with nmap databases according to "service type" and not to "standard" port number? If some known service is running on my pc but on a different port than its common one, I can probably detect the name of service with the "-sV" nmap options. But If I use db_autopwn with "-p" option, metasploit wouldn't be able to try some exploit for that service if it is running on a different port, right?
Can you help me?
Thank you

Barcelona, Genova, Sevile, and Florence Venice if you can put up with thousands of tourists dumped everyday by those obscene cruise liners. Of course one must not forget Rome and finally one's home neck of the woods, Lisbon and nearby Sintra.
Enjoy your trip.

Brugge, Ghent and Brussels in Belgium. Wonderful city's and the best beer in the world.
Amsterdam, it's more than the red light district and legal to get high. It's a beautiful old city.
In France I would go to Aix en Provance, very nice city. And the Provance is one of the most beautiful areas in Europe. Also go to Bordeaux (wine district, very nice! and Paris (duh)
In the UK don't just do London, but also go to the Scottish Highlands.
Iceland, amazing landscapes, not much more and very expensive.

There is alot of places I could recomend.
If you want to see mountains. The highest and most dramatic ones are at the border between France, Switzerland and Italy. You can take a train all the way up to Zermat in Switzerland.
If you are going by car, I would recomend you to take the time to drive the Grossglockner High Alpin Road in Austria. It has an amazing view, and you are driving the car up to around 3000m. It is one of the most specktacular roads in European alps. This is the alps at is best.
I would also recomend Avignon in France. An historical city, where the pope was held in prison for a years and years. There is lots of cheep hotels in that town.
If you like castles, I would recomend you to take a look at the northern alp region. The combination of mountains and castles are definently unbeatable. Schloss Neuschwanstein in Bavarian alps (Füssen), is the model of the Disney castle.
Salzburg is definently one of the most beautiful cities in Europe. There is a reason why every Japanese that are visiting Europe makes a stop there. And, the extreme green grass in "the sound of music" is real. You find it in Salzburg Alps. If you are staying in Europe untill December, Salzburg has a remarkable christmas marked. This is an old fashioned marked, in the old city center.
I would also recomend you to take a look at the north atlantic coast. Both the coast of Schotland and the northern coast of Denmark has some encredible light. If youre budget allow you, I would also recomend the coast of Norway. The combinatioin of some of the longest fjords in the world, ocean and high mountain is amazing. Bergen, in Norway, is by no doubt worth an visit. The west coast train ends there. It has much of the same beauty as Salzburg. Further North in Norway you will find the artic landscape... but to see that will cost you a fortune. If you are not planing to visit Narvik, wich is reachable with train. From there you can go by boat to Lofoten, wich has an unique nature. The beauty of Lofoten is a mixture of high mountain landscape, starting at sea level, the big ocean, lots and lots of small islands, with small fishing villages spread around in the landscape.
Anyhow, every part of Europe has its beauty.

Europe isnt a strip mall. You could spend a two months traveling Britain.... its a big place.
But you have to hit Cumbria, England. One of the most beautiful places in the world.

I assume you're ok with the major cities / attraction. Some other interesting places that I've come across: -
Glastonbury Tor, UK - while you're there, check out the Abbey (King Arthurs is buried there) and Chalice Well. If you have a car, Glastonbury is a good base for exploring the region - Stonehenge, Wells, Bath, the coast, Exmoor, Cheddar etc.
The Red Lion Pub, Avebury - the only pub inside a stone circle
Arbor Low, Peak District, UK - its a stone circle in the middle of some guy's farm.
Nine Ladies Stone Circle, Peak District - very photogenic at sunset. BTW, if you're heading to the Peak District, spend at least one night at Chatsworth House (ie Cavendish Hotel). Girls will be very impressed. In fact, spend a week there - its a good base for exploring the area and there are a lot of interesting and scenic walks, towns etc.
Tintagel, Cornwall, UK - King Arthur used to live there and its got a cool looking post office.
(If you're detecting a King Arthur, Stone circle theme, you're right - I've done several trips searching for the holy grail and my wife is a tarot card reader...)
The "Jurassic Coast", Uk - just watch out for dinosaurs!
The Abbey at Whitby, UK (and surrounding beaches) - great in the late afternoon.
York - if you like trains, vikings and walled cities, this is the place to be
Take a Boat Cruise on Loch Lomond, Scotland
Glencoe, Scotland
There are a lot of waterfalls in Scotland...
Stirling Castle, Scotland - where you can get a great shot of the Wallace Monument. The staff are very good - If they don't offer, ask them to take your picture in the King / Queen's seat.
Basilica di San Miniato al Monte, Florence - a bit of a walk out of town, but you get a nice view.
Anywhere in Tuscany
Rome - my favourite place in Europe. If you're even half considering going to Europe and not visiting Rome, slap yourself a few times until you come to your senses.

If you should decide to come to germany, I strongly suggest you visit the so called "saxon switzerland" in eastern germany, close to the czech border.
the obvious choices would be scotland, norway and maybe tuscany or the alps...
anyway... have a nice trip!

Well, Europe isn't exactly a small place... Im not sure whether I would go once for 2 months or twice for 1 month each and try to divide it into Norther Europe and Southern...
I think you will find that most of the cities, countries etc has alot to offer from a historical point of view. For each city I would do my research and pick carefully. There has been so much going on in Europe the past 2000 years so there's just too many things to see, castles, landscapes, places with an historical impact...
- "Hurtigrutten" - a 4 day boattrip following the Norweigian coastline, fjords, mountains, ocean
- Rome
- Venice
- Florence
- The Alps
- Stockholm, Sweden, beautiful city with lots of water, archipelago and amazingly good looking women
- Anywhere in Northern Scandinavia to be able to see and capture "the Northern Light"
- Scottish highlands (start in Edinburgh perhaps)
- Paris and perhaps the beaches of Normandy (D-Day you know...)
- Moscow
- Prague and Warzaw
- Croatian archipelago
- Greece, perhaps Athens and then visit some of the nice islands
- Amsterdam
- Barcelona
Good luck, have fun!

On your Southern leg:
Venice. Totally unique - there's a reason why 20 million tourists go there every year. Stay a night (or two), and see the city without the day trippers. Book a hotel in advance, and make sure it's one on the island and not the mainland.
Florence, for the architecture, especially the Duomo, and the Uffizi gallery.
Rome - the Colosseum, the Capitoline Hill, the Pantheon, and the Vatican is another day in itself. For something different, visit the Catacombs.
After Rome, take the opportunity to slip down to Naples (the underground tunnels in the UNESCO-heritage old city are worth a look-see, especially when they give you a candle to light your way down a 100m tunnel you can only get down sideways...) and see Pompeii and/or Herculaeneum - and take a trip to the top of Vesuvius.
From Naples, take the train to Brindisi, and then the ferry across to Greece (it may be covered by your rail pass). Obviously Athens has the Parthenon, and from there you can catch a ferry out to some of the islands. If you've only got time for one, try Mykonos - a quintessentially Greek town designed to confuse raiding pirates that you'll get totally lost in.
On your Northern leg:
Paris - the Eiffel Tower, the Louvre, Montmartre, Notre Dame, the Arc de Triomphe - photography heaven.
Amsterdam - different architecture again, some great museums (e.g. Rijksmuseum), the Anne Frank house, and all those canals.
Stockholm - the Vasa museum is unique in the world (and Scandinavia's most visited museum). Scandinavians also go in for open-air museums, and I believe Stockholm has one of the oldest.
Edinburgh - the Castle, the Royal Mile, the different culture again.

+1 on the Norwegian fjords. Lysefjorden is very accessible from Stavanger with Prekestolen (The preacher's pulpit) and Kjeragbolten among the highlights. Can be done in 1 day. If you're lucky the ferry will stop for watching the basejumpers near Kjeragbolten.
Not so accessible, but quite as beautiful: Geiranger. There's a reason why we're using a Norwegian word for fjords.
If you want to see some spectacular waterfalls, go to Norway as well.
As others say, there are plenty to see in Europe. First decide what you want to focus on, like nature or cities.

If you're UK leg is only a couple of days, chances are you'll end up in London, if you want nature and wildlife e.t.c and don't want to stray too far from London Richmond Park early in the morning is good for deer/wildlife. If you're looking to go a bit further afield but not too far you should look at the Norfolk Broads, boat trips, scenerey and an impressive array of wildlife and less that 3 hours from the center of London.
If you're staying longer, definietly check out Scotland, Edinburgh is one of the most beautiful cities in the world!

Thank you all!
i'm starting to plan the trip, it's gonna be from april trough may, since it's the least expensive season and there's less tourists(even tough I know there will a lot anyway).
I know this is not a long trip for all Europe but I will choose the places(cities and countries) I will go to (with my girlfriend) by looking where there's more opportunity to take picture and have wonderful memories. So for sure I will miss a lot of stuff, but I want to enjoy every place I will go.

Given the timing of your trip, you should think about Spain or Italy for Easter - these strongly Catholic countries do some fantastic Easter festivals and parades, which are very photogenic.

Don't forget Greece is one of the best places to visit for photographs as well as for vacations. The greek islands like santorini, crete, paros etc offer unique opportunities for photos of landscapes, social themes and architecture. Also in the mainland the city of navpliois fantastic, beautiful vilages like papigo and historical places are also strongly recommended. I would suggest to be in greece during the orthodox easter which is the most important event in the Greek calendar. The weather will be good (sunny and you might be able to swim in the southern parts) and don't forget that the Greeks have a tradition with hospitality. There is less danger for theft, and the costs are much lower compared to the rest of EE (except portugal and ex eastern countries).
So whatever place you choose we wait for your photos.

Didn't see Ireland among tips. Very beautiful and friendly. Spain the same but with fantastic food and wine. Of course Italy. England Scotland of course, Wales Atlantic coast is awesome. Why. not Eastern Europe? Prague! Amywhere in France. Certainly Scandinavia. Stockholm is one of the most beautiful cities in the world. 2 month is impossible to cover Europe as it would also be for USA.

A state judge denied an attempt by a high-ranking New York Police Department official to avoid being interviewed by the Civilian Complaint Review Board as part of its investigation into his pepper spraying Occupy Wall Street protesters two years ago.
NYPD Deputy Inspector Anthony Bologna filed a motion seeking an injunction to prevent him from being forced to submit to questioning by the independent CCRB, which is tasked with investigating complaints alleging police misconduct.
But that motion was turned down Wednesday by Manhattan Supreme Court Judge Joan Lobis. In her ruling, she wrote that Mr. Bologna "failed to establish a 'clear legal right' to preclude the CCRB from interviewing" him. Mr. Bologna was scheduled to be interviewed by the CCRB in August, but that was postponed after he lodged this appeal.
"We are pleased with the decision," CCRB Chairman Daniel Chu said. "We will be scheduling Deputy Inspector Bologna for an interview as soon as possible."
On September 24, 2011, Mr. Bologna pepper sprayed a group of protesters who were held behind netting by police officers in Union Square. The scene was recorded by bystanders, and those videos went viral on the Internet and were viewed by millions of people. Over the next several days, the CCRB received 467 complaints from civilians, mostly from those who watched the incident on the Internet or television news.
Mr. Bologna's attorney, Louis La Pietra, does not deny Mr. Bologna used pepper spray that day and said that "his actions were consistent with NYPD training and policy." Mr. Bologna chose to not challenge the findings of the NYPD's Internal Affairs Bureau that ordered he lose 10 days of vacation for violating the department's guidelines for using pepper spray "to get it behind him," Mr. La Pietra added.
This past April, the Manhattan district attorney's office chose not to bring criminal charges after conducting an investigation where Mr. Bologna voluntarily answered questions, Mr. La Pietra said, "potentially at his own peril."
Mr. La Pietra said the reason they challenged the CCRB's attempt to interview him was because "we are of the position that those questions have already been asked and answered" in the IAB and district attorney investigations.
The CCRB has the authority only to recommend punishment to the police commissioner in the cases where they substantiate charges leveled at officers. Mr. La Pietra said Mr. Bologna has already been disciplined by Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly for the incident.
"The outcome has already been decided," Mr. La Pietra said. "He's already been disciplined by the NYPD so this recommendation, whatever it may be, is not going to amount to anything."
A spokeswoman for the CCRB declined to comment because the investigation is still pending.
However, Christopher Dunn, associate legal director for the New York Civil Liberties Union, said, "this ruling opens the door to a new police commissioner imposing a much harsher penalty."
Under an agreement reached with the NYPD in April 2012, the CCRB lawyers were given the power to prosecute police abuse cases where their agency recommended that "charges and specifications" be brought against the officer. In the past, officers' departmental disciplinary trials had been prosecuted by lawyers assigned to a unit within the NYPD.
Under the agreement, the police commissioner retains the power to impose discipline in these cases. But if the judge hearing the disciplinary trial recommends that Mr. Bologna receive a stiffer punishment, a new police commissioner could increase disciplinary measures against Mr. Bologna to send "a clear message that police misconduct will not be tolerated by the de Blasio administration," Mr. Dunn said.
Mr. La Pietra said he believes the NYPD is bound by the discipline already handed down in Mr. Bologna's case. The deputy inspector also has the right under the law to appeal any added discipline, the attorney said.

Halton police are investigating after two historic Toronto subway cars were vandalized at a railway museum in Milton.
The cars were on display outside the Halton County Radial Railway Museum on Guelph Line, about 60 kilometres northwest of Toronto, when they were defaced.
"This is extremely frustrating and disheartening for the museum," said Jim Borland, president of the Ontario Electric Railway Historical Association, which owns and operates the museum, in a statement.
"Not only are these cars important in transportation history, but also central artifacts in our collection."
The cars were used when the Toronto subway was opened in 1954. They were retired in 1990, and donated to the museum in 1991.
The Ontario Electric Railway Historical Association, which celebrated its 50th anniversary in 2004, said it needs a new display barn to protect the many cars sitting outside from the weather and vandalism.
Along with its railway car collection, the museum offers visitors streetcar rides, tours and access to its railway station.
The museum is open to the public from May to October and attracts about 15,000 visitors a year

I like to remind people that they are essentially on the same team. For example, both want to raise the children in the "best" way possible, but they may disagree as to what is "best" in any given situation or moment. I use particular techniques that strengthen communication. Typically, when each partner feels heard and understood, tension decreases and mutually agreeable solutions are possible.

Carolinas HealthCare System provides a broad range of community benefit activities that not only enhance the quality of medical care but profoundly influence the quality of life. Indeed, CHS facilities are typically the main engines of business activity in the communities they serve, exercising disproportionate stimulus on regional economic development.
"Community benefit" is a specific industry term that refers to the total cost of providing financial assistance to uninsured patients; discounts for uninsured patients; and a range of other services that fulfill vital needs but do not pay for themselves. Such services include community health clinics, research initiatives and education.
The total investment in CHS communities above and beyond regular operating expenditures was approximately $1.16 billion in 2011.
CHS Community Benefit
|Costs of financial assistance to uninsured patients
|$ 215 million
|Costs of discounts extended to uninsured patients
|$ 56 million
|Bad debt costs for patients who do not pay for services
|$ 175 million
|Losses incurred by serving Medicare patients
|$ 419 million
|Losses incurred by serving Medicaid patients
|$ 145 million
|Costs of community-building activities and other services that meet a strong community need but do not pay for themselves and would typically not be provided based on financial considerations alone
|$ 27 million
|Costs of professional medical education, research, and cash and in-kind contributions to local nonprofits and charities
|$ 123 million
|The total value of uncompensated care and other community benefits provided by CHS facilities during 2011 was $1.16 billion.
This chart reflects the major categories of community benefit recognized by the North Carolina Hospital Association. Figures are based on actual costs, not charges. The overall total represents the collective value of benefits attributable to Carolinas HealthCare System across the entire two-state system and includes Carolinas Medical Center, 10 other CHS hospitals in greater Charlotte, and 22 other affiliated medical centers and hospitals.
