Prestonsburg, Ky., was hardly the first city to turn to municipal Wi-Fi in hope of spurring economic growth. Like counterparts throughout the country, local leaders figured that free wireless Internet access could help them attract new businesses. They also thought it might draw tourists, offer opportunities for telemedicine and distance learning, and keep young people from leaving Prestonsburg, a city of less than 4,000 residents at the rural, eastern edge of the state.
What leaders didn't figure on was the sticker shock after they gathered bids for constructing the network. One quote came in at $248,000 and another was $192,000. "We even got a low bid of $48,000, but that's still outside the realm of our small-city budget," said Brent Graden, Prestonsburg's economic director.
That's an understatement: Graden's budget for the project was just $8,500.
Nevertheless, in early 2008, Prestonsburg lit up with free Wi-Fi a 2-mile corridor running through its downtown core. As of late March, 2,500 unique users had accessed the service.
Prestonsburg developed its system using equipment from Meraki, a Mountain View, Calif., startup that offers a do-it-yourself approach to building Wi-Fi networks.
Founded in 2006, Meraki started as a doctorate-research project at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Fueled by funding from Google and Sequoia Capital, the company's mission is to bring the Internet to the masses with wireless routers, which are cheap to buy and easy to install and operate.
Meraki takes a mesh-networking approach, which means each access point not only communicates with nearby wireless computing devices, but also serves as a router, passing the radio signal to other nodes. A Meraki Pro router for outdoor use costs $150 to $200. Other vendors were quoting $10,000 for an outdoor access point, Graden said. "Obviously those give you great coverage," acknowledged Graden, but with the price for a competitor's device higher than the city's entire Wi-Fi budget, that equipment clearly wasn't an option.
A Meraki router covers a radius of about 500 feet, Graden said. That's been enough range to provide a signal along the 2-mile corridor, plus a few outlying locations, such as a local park and an arts center. Prestonsburg installed 48 outdoor units and 12 indoor units, he said.
Meraki keeps its prices low, in part by relying on economies of scale, said Sanjit Biswas, the company's CEO and co-founder. "We have thousands of networks around the world now," he said. "We're in 110 or 120 countries. And we're seeing a lot of growth."
Back-End Intelligence
The technology is less expensive because a Meraki network isn't self-contained. Rather than situating the bulk of the network's intelligence in the local infrastructure, Meraki conducts much of its essential activity in its Mountain View data center.
That means the user doesn't have to install and manage the entire infrastructure that other Wi-Fi networks require, Biswas said. "That's everything from access point controllers to user-management devices. There's a lot of complexity there," he said.
To set up a network, a user simply installs the routers and then logs in to the Meraki dashboard on the Web site, www.meraki.com, to create an account. The administrator then uses Meraki's software, via the dashboard, to set policies and manage the network. "The software lets you do things like manage hundreds or thousands of users," Biswas said. If the operator wants to charge for the service, the software handles the billing.
The administrator, Biswas explained, may also use the dashboard to enter text messages, which appear in a bar at the top of the screen while a user is on the network. Some operators sell ads in that space to help support the service.
Besides handling administrative chores, such as billing, Meraki monitors customers' networks from its data center and makes modifications as needed, such as rerouting traffic. "If you were to add more DSLs

Current cast features Andrew Alexander as Richard Hannay and Catherine Bailey as Annabella Schmidt/Pamela/Margaret. Other parts are played by Paul Bigley and Stephen Critchlow.
There's a wonderful '80s comedy sketch where one extremely effete doctor turns to another and declares, 'I learnt everything I know about women from the novels of John Buchan.' Though Buchan was aggressively heterosexual, his emphasis on a world where a chap's upper lip was as stiffly starched as his collar meant there was little room for ladies – pleasant creatures though they were – in his tales of intrigue.
When Hitchcock adapted Buchan's 'The 39 Steps', however, he introduced a love interest in a version which Buchan later conceded was better than his own. In this stage version, Patrick Barlow has continued the honourable tradition of mucking around with Buchan's original, keeping the love interest (now elegantly played by new cast member Rachel Pickup) and adding a whirligig of self-conscious theatrical effects in a production where four actors evoke everyone from lingerie salesmen to a housekeeper who screams like a steam-train.
Charles Edwards is Richard Hannay, a gentleman with irony in his soul, able to avert disaster with the merest twitch of a courteous eyebrow – until a mysterious female foreigner is stabbed in his apartment. His flight from London to the Highlands to trace her killer and evade arrest himself is depicted with DIY ingenuity through such props as hatstands which double up as Scotsmen, and three ladders which metamorphose ropily into the Forth Bridge.
The point's to spin the straw of theatrical mediocrity into gold standard comedy, and to watch clowns Rupert Degas and Simon Gregor playing four people at once in a flying frenzy of wigs and accents is one of many highlights. If Buchan had ever done anything as girlie as giggle, surely he would have done it here.

Absolutely brilliant show... A must watch show.. Enjoyed every part of it...
We loved the show! It reminded me to the old plays, with no technology and very little resources. Soooo funny =D
Hilarious !!!! From the first seconds to the end, even if English is not your mother tong ;)
I really loved it with my family. Actors are so talented and the show will not fail to make you laugh!! There should be more brilliant shows like this!
Absolutely brilliant. Went for a birthday treat and we were both laughing from start to finish. Would highly recommend to everyone and anyone. Already been telling all my friends that they have to go and see it. The Criterion is a lovely little theatre which leave you with the feeling of having a nice intimate evening out. It is a must!
Poor. Comedy and something like the 39 Steps just don't go together. Try the Jeeves & Wooster instead, and you will be richly rewarded.
Absolutely spiffing!The Criterion theatre and the 39 Steps Play complemented each other so much that you felt you were drawn into a bygone era.I went with my husband who normally doesn't visit the theatre and we were both impressed and overwhelmed with the delightful performance and theatre.We both felt the experience could be summed up with one word , 'charming'.The Criterion ice creams added to the experience ,I had strawberry,my husband had vanilla and we both felt we were on a day out in the heart of England.Spiffing,delightful,charming both the performance and the theatre.I would thoroughly recommend this as a night out not to be missed.
We visited the comedy show on Tuesday 25 Feb., in celebration of my friends` 60th Birthday. What a funny, hilarious and well acted show. The energy of the cast is amazing and in a play which requires many different scenes, there was brilliant use of minimal props, which just helped to make the show more comedic. 5 stars from all of us.
Great show and very clever. Really enjoyed it!
Hilarious and very clever. We took our three teenage boys who really loved it! Great too for anyone studying drama.
Absolutely brilliant!
Absolutely fantastic. I thought the 4 people played wonderfully well. I laughed most of the way through it. Would recommend this for a good night out.
The cast was good, and the play was very amusing, but the storyline seemed to be quite thin, and although amusing, the play was not particularly memorable
Excellent performance in the best of British traditions! Efficient adaptation of the novel and the idea of keeping the cast as tight as possible if wonderfully fullfilled and performed with brio. However, being an old dramaturg in a theatre, I missed the dénouement of the story, and I think that the house, when leaving the show, was a bit curious about what the 39 steps really meant.
It was very funny and easy to understand for me although English is not my first language. I had a great time and I would definitely recommend it to my friends.
I did enjoy the production and appreciated the skill and energy of the cast. There were some very witty bits and it galloped along but ... not very exciting or especially memorable.
A very good play, well what I could see of it. The problem is the seating in the stalls. The seats are not tiered enough. There was a tall person in front of me and a tall person in front of him. I could never see more than 50% of the stage. I suggest anyone wanting to see The 39 Steps at The Criterion Theatre, they book seats in the front row of the dress circle.
A farcical stroke of genius, brilliantly executed from start to finish.
Being a fan of The National Theatre of Brent and The Reduced Shakespeare Company this was right up my street. Clever, funny, and moved along at quite a pace. The evening went too quickly.....and my daughter who had not read The 39 Steps followed the storyline. Brilliant show.
Très bonne pièce. Le jeu des 4 acteurs est brillant et très visuel, ils jouent plus de 100 roles en 90 minutes ! Pas d'effets spéciaux, tout est jeu sur scène. Pas besoin de tout comprendre pour apprécier la pièce, elle est donc accessible aux non anglophone. Côté rétro très accentué, pour les amateurs. Very good play. Brillant acting, very visual with more than 100 roles in 90 minutes ! No special effects, only acting on stage. No need to be English proficient to appreciate the show. A strong ´"rétro" atmosphere.
Really good show. Quirky, fun and clever use of minimal props and staging. Would recommend for family or couples night out.
Not from an english-speaking background, it was very understandable (despite the accents) and very well played! - not the case with all plays. Of course it has a 'vaudeville' taste to it that might not be everyone's cup but it's a really funny and the improvisation aspect brings a lot to it.
Very disappointing. Not funny, very amateur production and very poor effects. Although I did like the train! And the theatre is lovely.
A very good comedy in a fine theatre. I had a wonderful evening.
Saw this a few years back. Its very good, comedy at its finest. You will appreciate all the work that has gone into this fine production.
We caught the matinee performance and we're totally blown away with the performance. If you want a great feel good show packed full of fun, laughter, top class acting &clever use of a theatre - this is one for you. With Christmas fast approaching I'd recommend getting a ticket. The ending is very fitting!
Really fun evening, beautiful theatre, nice 30's feel throughout. Didn't always appeal to my sense of humour, althogh that didn't detract from it. It was very cleverly done with such a small cast and some great performances throughout made it thoroughly enjoyable.
It was amazing entertainment for us in the horrible raining day .It was so funny and I really enjoyed the cartoon style acting. . I highly recommend seeing this play for everyone . Thank you.
Hilarious, quick and lots of fun!!!
An excellent evening's entertainment . Fast moving , versatile actors and very funny . Would highly recommend seeing this play .
this was a good evening out, enjoyed the play thought the special effects actually made it. Very well thought out and directed. Did not have me laughing all night, but I did manage a few laughs!!
The show was excellent. Laughs throughout, great acting and relaxed vibe in the theatre. Would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a good night out.
At the request of a friend visiting London, I hurriedly booked tickets to see this play on a Monday evening. The whole process from booking tickets (on the TimeOut website) to arriving at the venue for the show was so easy and hassle free. The theatre was so adorable and really comfortable. Our seats were great (especially given the fact that we bought discounted tickets at the last minute) with a good view of the stage. The play itself was very entertaining. The storyline, pace, attention to detail kept us engaged and laughing all the way through. Highly recommended.
My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed this show. I'm hard to please at the theatre, pomposity puts me off, though I was grinning and laughing all the way through. Great story, well written for the stage, great acting.
I didn't know much about this play, but took my aunt , as it was such a good deal. It was amazing! So funny, great acting. I highly recommend! I am 35, my aunt is 71 and we both laughed our way through.
Actors, scenery, lighting, costumes, everything was perfect! The team has a very precise timing and you can tell that they really enjoy acting. Lots of laughing with every scene. We would surely recommend "The 39 stpe" to everoyne!
That was super funny. All 100 minuts with the teath out and a full smile. I will recommend it to everyone :)
Outstanding performance. Brilliantly performed by a cast of 4?? Really??? They were everywhere, and so professional. I was thoroughly entranced for the whole performance and would happily recommend this show to anyone..
I brought my Mum to see this show when she visited me in London last week. Having not seen the Hitchcock movie I was a little worried that we would be a bit 'lost' regarding the jokes. However it was a great night and we both enjoyed it immensly! I cannot recommend it enough - high energy and lots of laughs. It was a great night out for both of us
The beginning was nice. But you get the idea after an hour. Not enough progress
What an amazing night. As we sat down in the small but gorgeous theatre we weren't sure what to expect. A very good friend of mine was here from Australia unexpectedly so it was a last minute thing. The seats we had gave us a perfect view, the performers made amazing use of the space they had, and put on a show that left us smiling and giggling even once the show was finished. I would highly recommend this show to anyone!
A sharp and witty play! In a time where TV, film and internet are supplying the bulk of entertainment in 3D and reality shows, this theatrical production really proves theatre is alive and kicking. By stepping in and out of the medium itself, employing fast, ping-pong dialogues, witty references and sharp humour , and changing through tens of characters in 1.5 hours (boy, do the actors work a sweat in this one!) - this production made me laugh out loud and enjoy theatre at its best.
It takes a lot for me to laugh out loud, but the quality of the acting (and accents) along with some beautifully delivered old fashioned humour (how refreshing) had me in stitches. Equally impressive were the incredibly well used props and stage mechanics, full of energy and impressive timings. Being well into my mid-fifties, I'd of course seen the original several times but my 20 year old lad certainly hadn't and loved it despitenot knowing anything about the book or screenplay(s). A massive compliment to the actors (each covering multiple parts) and whole production team. A thorougly enjoyable evening complete with more than enough laugh therapy.
Surprisingly fascinating!
Absolutely brilliant! Excellent timing and so funny. Bought the tickets as a surprise for my husband and he so enjoyed the show. Would definitely go again.

The Marquis of Lansdowne took farewell of office and of official life.
The ladies of the party were presented by the Marchioness of Lansdowne.
Upon this property Lord Lansdowne had expended in drainage and works £1993, 11s.
This bill was opposed in the lords by Lansdowne, and in the commons by Fox and Grey.
Lansdowne was made president of the council, and Holland chancellor of the duchy of Lancaster.
Lansdowne thinks they have some design by these reports; I cannot guess it.
Mr. Lansdowne was a man of stern integrity and uncompromising justice.

SAN BERNARDINO - A 51-year-old woman died Saturday of injuries she got from being repeatedly kicked in the head on Jan. 21, police said.
Angela Yvette Grayson was found unconscious on the night of Jan. 21 with severe head trauma. Her 33-year-old boyfriend Adrian Iakapo, also of San Bernardino, admitted getting angry with her, knocking her to the ground and kicking her in the head until she lost consciousness, according to police.
Police also say he left her in that condition for several days until police arrived on a welfare check.
Grayson has been at Loma Linda University Medical Center until Saturday.
Iakapo is in custody on charges of assault with a deadly weapon and corporal injury, and the district attorney's office will review the case to decide whether to charge him with murder, police said.

We'll start this post out by saying on big, huge, giant thank you to all of those editors, bloggers and journalists out there who write reviews of Osprey Packs. We're excited every time we see a new one, and we treasure your opinions. Every once in a while, we come across a review that strikes us — and we like to share those to make sure they get read as much as possible! This one in particular comes from Urban Velo, written by Urban Jeff. First of all, he says this:
I've yet to find a need for their All Mighty Guarantee, which seems to be one of the best in the outdoor industry, but it's refreshing to know that my pack is covered for life.
And he continues…
One thing many companies try to accomplish but fall just short of is creating a backpack that allows air to pass between you and your pack. Osprey's AirSpeed backpanel does this better than any pack that I've ever used. It uses a combination of stretched mesh which rests against your back and a curved, rigid panel with contoured padding to hold the pack away from your back. The packs main straps are also made with mesh and perforated foam to increase ventilation without sacrificing comfort.
And tops it all off with…
The size M/L Radial 34 measures 22″ x 15″ x 12″ and weighs just under 3 lbs. With such a lightweight design you might suspect its durability, but as I said earlier, Osprey packs are built to last. My Talon pack has been ridden hard and put away wet for years, seen its share of brambles and tumbles, and save for a smattering of mud stains, it's still every bit as good as the first time I put it on my back. I have no reason to expect anything less from the Radial 34.
Here at Osprey, we're incredibly proud of the product we provide — and we appreciate any and all feedback we get on that very product. With all of that said, here's one last huge thank you and cheers to a great write-up!

Do they do a version of the "Wall of Shame", if so they should have a special section on if for BT2/3 Users?
So, I got to thinking which usually results in something ending up in many pieces on my workbench, but this was time it was different and the voices in my head were 'sleeping'.
Knowing that this won't happen to any of the regulars here. I wonder how many laptops will come to Shmoocon with a fresh copy of BT3 installed along with the default password? <evil grin>
How many will get pwned (I think that's the term you kids today use ) at Shmoocon?
Do they do a version of the "Wall of Shame", if so they should have a special section on if for BT2/3 Users?
If they are using the default password on anything they deserve to have their pwnsauce stirred up a little.
When I go, I'll be pimping a copy of windows 98 with no passwords or firewall running.
Of course, if you really wanted to have some fun, go to Wal-Mart late at night and ask the greeter if they could help you find trashbags, roll of carpet, rope, quicklime, clorox and a shovel. See if they give you any strange looks. --Streaker69
We can "HELP" you set up your IP tables too so you wont get pwned.
I'm gonna be running Win ME so there's pretty much no chance I can get hacked.
That's assuming I can get it to boot without blue screening.
Ok actually I'll be running win2k most of the time since I've got some toys to test out such as OrionSniffer (google it) and commview for wifi. But BT3 is installed and ready to go. Truthfully, if you ask I'll let you try and hack it externally, just to see if it's vulnerable.
Meh, you lot can run what you like - I know I'm going to be safe.
My setup is ub3r l33t, and totally unhackable.
I'm gonna be running Windows NT4

Is the last hurrah of the feminist movement to put a bunch of antiabortion Republican females in public office?
When a Southern state starts backing away from antiabortion legislation, you know something has changed in American politics.
Unsurprisingly, antiabortion groups are fighting back now that localities are taking action against CPCs.
On April 22, antiabortion Rep. Chris Smith (R-NJ) confronted Clinton during a House Foreign Relations Committee hearing.
"It's more the attitude that was fostered by some of the antiabortion movement, things that really dehumanized" Tiller.
antiabortion violence had declined since then, but she feared a reprisal.
He wanted the public option and would have been unhappy with the antiabortion provisions.
He never attended the large annual antiabortion rallies in Lafayette Park across the White House, always phoning in.
The GOP front-runner refused to take an antiabortion litmus test, putting support from the religious right at risk.
He voted for the health-care bill, after supporting the Stupak antiabortion amendment, as a "moral necessity" to help Virginians.

In a speech yesterday in Las Vegas, Ellen Page came out as gay. "I'm here today because I am gay. And because maybe I can make a difference. To help others have an easier and more hopeful time. Regardless, for me, I feel a personal obligation and a social responsibility."
"I am tired of hiding and I am tired of lying by omission. I suffered for years because I was scared to be out. My spirit suffered, my mental health suffered and my relationships suffered. And I'm standing here today, with all of you, on the other side of all that pain."
Good for her. For those of you who are good at blinds this has obviously been known to you for a long time. It isn't like she didn't have girlfriends and people in LA didn't see her with girlfriends. I'm glad she can be who she is now and not have to do what a publicist or studio thinks is best for her career.

Infortrend EonNAS Pro 500 is a 5-bay Tower NAS designed to help SMB users optimize file sharing, IP-SAN applications and data backup. Powered by Intel Atom Dual-Core 1.8 GHz with exceptional 4 GB DDR3 RAM, the Infortrend EonNAS Pro 500 offers enterprise-level features that can be easily accessed among local and remote workstations featuring Windows, Mac or Linux platforms and configured through an intuitive user interface. Features such as data deduplication, unlimited snapshot, pool mirror, ZFS Hierarchical Checksum, corrupt data self-healing, compression and remote replication deliver high efficiency and excellent reliability.
With comprehensive network protocol support on EonNAS Pro 500, files can be easily shared among local and remote workstations featuring Windows, MAC or Linux platforms. Access control for folders and subfolders allows you to easily meet different user requirements in the office. For consolidated management, you can also choose to import account information from Windows Active Directory (AD) to EonNAS Pro 500.
The built-in iSCSI target support on EonNAS Pro 500 enables you to deploy IP SAN and serve applications such as mail servers, databases and virtualization. All EonNAS Pro 500 models are compatible with VMware, Hyper-V and Citrix virtualization platforms. With CHAP authentication, iSCSI data can be kept secure from unauthorized initiators. Capacity utilization is further enhanced by thin provisioning technology. By dynamically allocating capacity to applications on an as-needed basis, EonNAS Pro 500 eliminates pre-allocated yet unused data volumes and simplifies storage resource management. In addition, EonNAS Pro 500 supports MPIO and MC/S to help users achieve data path failover, load balancing, and enhanced performance.
With EonNAS Pro 500, users can backup data in various ways. EonNAS Pro 500 comes with free licenses for FarStone TotalRecovery Pro backup software. You can leverage this solution, or other compatible third-party software, to backup PC and server data. For Mac users, EonNAS Pro 500 supports Apple Time Machine. Data backup to or from external disk drives can be achieved via USB or eSATA connections. You can also configure USB-based data transfer for one-touch-copy, enabling you to complete a data copy with a single button press (EonNAS Pro 500) when an external drive is connected via the USB port at the front of the EonNAS Pro 500 chassis.
EonNAS Pro 500 ensures you get the most out of your available storage capacity. EonNAS Pro 500 comes with inline, block-based data deduplication, a feature often seen only in enterprise storage solutions. Duplication calculations are performed as each new data block enters deduplication-enabled volumes. When the system sees that an identical block is already present in the volume, the new block will be discarded and only a pointer will be created for reference to the existing block. By removing duplicate data blocks, the technology offers storage space savings of around 90% in backup applications, 70% in virtualization environments and 40% for common office files.
Core business assets are protected with robust, enterprise-class features. EonNAS Pro 500 features RAID protection, which ensures data stays intact even during simultaneous failures of up to two disk drives. When a drive failure occurs, a pre-assigned hot spare will be automatically leveraged to rebuild the original RAID configuration. In addition, disk drives are hot-swappable, meaning they can be replaced without disrupting your applications on the EonNAS Pro 500 system. In rare cases of system failure, you can quickly restore services simply by removing the drives on the old system and putting them into a replacement system. All your data and settings can be recovered following initial set-up.
The embedded ZFS file system ensures end-to-end data integrity through a hierarchical checksum mechanism. When a data block is created, a checksum of this block is stored in its parent block pointer. Whenever a block is accessed, its checksum is calculated and compared with the stored checksum value for integrity. This unique mechanism allows EonNAS Pro 500 to effectively detect data corruption phenomena that go undetected in other file systems, and automatically repair affected data with ZFS self-healing features.
The snapshot feature helps you deploy multiple recovery points for iSCSI volumes or shared folders at minimized time intervals and space requirements. In the event of human errors or virus attacks, you can quickly restore data with the snapshot copies. EonNAS Pro 500 will automatically remove snapshot images when the number of snapshots or their retention period exceeds pre-set thresholds.
Remote replication offers scheduled data replication to another EonNAS system or third party device via the rsync protocol. In addition, the pool mirror function supports real-time replication that keeps data in two different EonNAS systems synced at all times, ensuring that a standby system can seamlessly take over operations when the primary system goes down.
System management for the EonNAS Pro 500 is extremely easy. Within less than 15 minutes you can complete the process from power-on to initial set-up. A user-friendly, web-based UI helps you manage your system intuitively. You can easily access all frequently-used features via shortcuts and quickly complete required configurations with step-by-step wizards. EonNAS Pro 500 also supports a dashboard feature to help you monitor real-time system status. EonNAS Pro 500 notifies you of critical system events in a number of ways, such as LEDs, system buzzers, email notifications and SNMP traps.

The issue of the environment, and taking care of the environment, isn't specifically and openly addressed in the Bible. Of course, there are a lot of specific issues that the Bible doesn't address. What the Bible does do, and does again and again, is give us principles that should be applied to all areas of life, which include the question of the environment.
Think about Matthew 22:37–40. In what ways could the principles taught here impact our attitude toward environmental concerns, especially when misuse of the environment can have some very detrimental effects on others?
Early on in the Bible, we are given some indication of humanity's call to be a steward of what God had given Adam on the earth. Though the context is very specific, it's hard to see why the principle shouldn't continue.
Genesis 2:15 reads, "And the Lord God took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it." In what way does this reveal how humankind was originally to relate to the earth?
Notice the reciprocal relationship here. God created this beautiful environment for the man; it was given to him as a gift. And yet, see how Adam was to relate to it. He was to work it and to keep it. The word translated "keep" comes from the Hebrew root, smr, which means "to watch" or "to preserve" or "to protect." Thus, right from the start, even in the pre-Fall world, Adam was called to be a steward of the environment in which he was placed. God didn't tell him to exploit it, to use it for his own selfish means, and to get out of it all that he could. Instead, he is told to work it and protect it.
What reason could we have for believing that this principle has changed? In fact, if this is what Adam was called to do in a world before sin entered, how much more important would good stewardship of the world be after it has been damaged by sin?
How conscious are you of environmental concerns? How much do you really even care about them? How important or unimportant is it to you? Bring your answer to class on Sabbath.?

Silver Hawks' Darrah outduels Dragons
D-backs prospect strikes out eight over seven one-hit innings
By Sam Dykstra / Special to MLB.com | April 9, 2013 7:05 PM ET
The list of similarities between Jesse Darrah and Robert Stephenson wasn't exactly a long one at the start of Tuesday's Midwest League matchup.
They're both right-handed pitchers taken in the 2011 Draft. They both have roots in California. They share the same agent -- Matt Sosnick -- and they both started the season in the same league. But the list ends there.
Stephenson -- the Reds' No. 2 prospect and MLB.com's No. 51 overall -- has been highly touted since Cincinnati selected him 27th overall, thanks to an excellent fastball, an above-average curveball and a healthy changeup.
When Darrah -- the D-backs' 2011 eighth-rounder who struggled in his full-season debut last year -- arrived at Coveleski Stadium on Tuesday afternoon, he knew he'd have to be at the top of his game.
"I knew he was a big-time pitcher, a real big-time prospect, but I don't let that stuff get to me," he said. "I didn't focus on him at all before or during the game. It's always cool to size yourself up against the best of the best and I try to come in with a chip on my shoulder."
That strategy proved effective Tuesday.
Darrah struck out eight and allowed one hit over seven innings to get the win in Class A South Bend's 1-0 victory over Dayton. Stephenson took the loss, despite striking out nine and giving up one run on five hits in five frames.
The only hit allowed by the Silver Hawks' starter was a one-out double by shortstop Zach Vincej in the fourth inning. The eight punchouts matched Darrah's second-highest single-game total, bested only by the 11 he recorded last June 1 at Dayton, while the seven innings equaled a career high.
It was the 23-year-old right-hander's second consecutive solid start after he gave up an unearned run on two hits over six frames last Thursday against Bowling Green on Opening Day. Albeit in a small sample, Darrah has held opponents to a .071 (3-for-42) average without allowing an earned run through two starts.
That follows a difficult full-season debut with South Bend in 2012 when he went 8-5 with a 4.65 ERA and .258 opponents' average.
"Obviously, I had my struggles here last year," Darrah said. "But getting two great starts under my belt, it really shows I can pitch here, and that was important to me to start out the year. It's definitely a good confidence-booster."
Silver Hawks manager Mark Haley may have had a hand in getting Darrah off on the right foot by starting him on Opening Day, giving him a chance to match up with other Midwest League aces. The Fresno Pacific product acknowledged that the gesture could have long-reaching effects.
"That was great," Darrah said. "It was cool coming back to the same stadium and to get a little recognition as a guy coming back. It was a packed house, too, which was a good adrenaline boost. Now, because of that, it'll be cool going up against the best the other teams have to offer and seeing where I stack up."
But beyond encouragement from the club and the competition, there have been more physical explanations for Darrah's early turnaround.
After using a fastball-curveball-changeup-slider mix in 2012, the 22-year-old sat down with Silver Hawks pitching coach Wellington Cepeda and decided to drop the curveball because it had lost its effectiveness and even caused him pain to throw.
The result is a three-pitch repertoire that has been much simpler to control and has led to much better pitching lines, ones good enough to beat the best the Midwest League has to offer.
"It's just easier for me as a pitcher," Darrah said. "I don't have to think as much about what to use. I know I have a pretty good fastball, a pretty good changeup and a pretty good slider. All three can be used to get outs and they've been working great for me so far."
Christopher Capper followed Darrah and allowed a hit in the eighth before R.J. Hivley earned his first save with a perfect ninth.
Socrates Brito went 3-for-4 and drove in the game's only run with a single in the third inning.

Dear Chairman Waxman,Chairman Boucher, Ranking Member Barton, and Ranking Member Stearns:
Over the last decade, consumers across the country have benefitted from the competition between cable television operators and the satellite TV providers,DIRECTV and DISH Network. To ensure that this head-to-head rivalry continues to be a great boon for consumers, Congress and the Federal Communications Commission must ensure that any new rules or regulations do not deny customers of one industry the right to services that are being made available to the other. As you move toward a mark-up of there authorization of the Satellite Home Viewer Extension and Reauthorization Act of 2004, we urge you to ensure that all pending efforts to give satellite TV customers the right to receive additional local broadcast choices must also be granted to cable TV subscribers in the same legislative vehicle.
With the emergence of the small dish satellite TV service in the early 1990s, Congress aided the industry's growth by passing legislation that granted satellite TV companies comparable rights to those afforded to the cable industry. Already having granted the satellite TV industry the right to offer distant network signals, in 1999 Congress granted satellite TV companies the right to offer local-into-local service. Five years later, Congress expanded those local broadcast rights to allow the industry to also offer "significantly viewed" stations. Through the years, Congress has sought to harmonize the regulatory regimes that apply to both industries with regard to carriage of broadcast stations in order to foster competition while offering consumers more local service. As a result of this competition, consumers have seen the addition of more programming services to their channel line-ups, better picture quality, greater technological innovation, such as the availability of digital-video-recorders and video-on-demand, and bundled retail packages that include high-speed Internet access and telephone service. These benefits all stem from policymakers' insistence that the regulatory environment treat comparable services comparably.
As part of the reauthorization of the Satellite Home Viewer Act, there are anumber of Members now considering granting satellite TV companies additional rights to offer consumers enhanced local broadcast services that are not available today. These consumer-friendly proposals, which include allowing consumers to receive out-of-market, but in-state broadcast signals when in-state signals aren't available, have merit and would be very attractive to consumers who are frustrated with their inability to receive in-state information about the news, weather, politics, government, sports, etc. However, giving the subscribers of satellite TV companies the right to receive enhanced local broadcast service without allowing customers of cable companies the same rights would be unfair to the tens of millions of consumers who choose to receive their communications services via cable, and would significantly disrupt the competitive video market Congress has helped create. ACA and its small cable members do not oppose the passage of legislation that provides consumers with more local broadcast services as part of the 2009 version of the Satellite Home Viewer Act, but we do feel strongly that Congress must not allow satellite TV providers' subscribers to receive these services without concurrently allowing subscribers of cable television to receive them as well.
Yours most respectfully,
Matthew M.Polka

Best Of :: Arts & Entertainment
Scuzzy, fuzzy, psychedelic. You can use all of these words to describe the Band in Heaven's new four-track EP featuring A-side "Sleazy Dreams." The first 475 copies of this seven-inch were pressed in February by a garage, noise, psych, and punk underground label out of Chicago called HoZac Records. The band creates not so much celestial sounds but more like the cries of a fallen angel. The EP is dark and disorienting. It has an experimental heart with a dirty rock body. Play these songs when experiencing the freedom of riding your bike on a particularly sunny afternoon or while driving home late at night, getting ready to do very bad things. The Band in Heaven represents a larger movement of experimental psych sounds coming out of its hometown of West Palm Beach. Appearances at South by Southwest and Austin Psych Fest solidify it as an act on the brink of breaking, in the good way. Breaking outward and upward.
Finding a cool dance club nowadays isn't the easiest thing, especially in Fort Lauderdale. Often, as soon as one opens up is as quick as it closes down. Occupying the old Automatic Slim's venue in Riverfront is Fifteen West, a hipper alternative to the velvet-roped clubs filled with snooty clubgoers. There is bottle service and VIP, but the dress code is relaxed. The DJs don't spin bad techno remixes, and the door guy isn't a total ass. In addition to dancing and drinking, the club has also started to host a slew of indie art shows. From preppy folks to tattooed crowds, the patrons at 15 West are an eclectic bunch.
At Swarm, which pops up every few months, there are no special invitations, dress-code requirements, overpriced cover fees, or strict rules to abide by. As event organizers Black Locust Society says, "Come one, come all. It's just about bringing people together. This is just what we do." Housed in a warehouse away from the madness of the downtown bar scene, Swarm is the place where partygoers go to let loose, listen to an assortment of live music — the lineup is always different — and take in a bit of local art. The Swarm crowd is completely diverse. Nobody cares about your race, musical interests, financial situation, or what you're wearing. It's all about the experience, and that it certainly is.
The DIY, Lake Park, music-focused venue brilliantly named the Snooze Theatre started life as a blues club called the Orange Door. C.J. Jankow and Jordan Pettingill of Cop City Chill Pillars and Love Handles began throwing events there before it graduated from blues to experimental. They currently run the place with Ed and Dan McHugh, the latter of the band the Jameses, and a bunch of supportive friends from the West Palm Beach and Lake Worth areas. The Snooze opened up a seat for the ass of a scene that needed a place to sit and grow after the closing of Club Sandwich. Sure, down south Churchill's has been friendly to quality and experimental music of all sorts, but this area needed its own spot to squat. The biggest indicator of the direction in which the venue would go was Zitfest, which featured two days of Florida's finest garage acts like the Jameses, Guy Harvey, and Jacuzzi Boys. The venue showcases local musicians and touring acts, and it's even doing yoga there and mixtape exchanges. The ladies of the Snooze have gathered forces to host their own getty, aptly titled That Time of the Month. Though the Snooze was closed for a few months after being raided by the Palm Beach Police County Sheriff's Office in January, it reopened with a vengeance and tons of noise. The red-checkered floor remains the same. There's the pink glowing bathroom and cheap drinks. And now you can tell the Snooze how much you love it by writing on the walls with chalk. How sweet.
If there is one area where many jam bands are lacking, it certainly wouldn't be in the hair department. Most of them have plenty of that, though it's often of the shaggy, unkempt variety. Rather, many jam bands are missing a good singer. Local jam heroes the Heavy Pets are not lacking in either of those categories thanks to frontman Jeff Lloyd. Lloyd not only has the prettiest head of hair this side of Terrapin Station but he's got a voice that ought to be welcomed on whatever cloud Jerry Garcia currently resides on. It is soulful, well-exercised, and, like his mane, quite pretty. Nowhere does Lloyd's voice ring out more beautifully than on the Pets' 2011 release, Swim Out Past the Sun. The album is stripped-down and acoustic, which not only makes it a wonderful, mellow addition to their catalog but also allows Lloyd's vocals to stand out and dazzle.
You might recognize James "Scarecrow" Jenkins as the former bull fiddler of Lake Worth's punkabilly band Viva Le Vox, but you also might recognize him because he's got a lotta look. Nowadays, Jenkins heads his own outfit, Loxahatchee Sinners Union, a rootsy Americana act that came about by accident. In an attempt to set out on his own, he ended up bringing in too good a cast of backup musicians for a performance. Thus, the band was born. He calls the sound "swamp gospel." With him at the helm, singing with the charisma and enthusiasm of a preacher, it's hard not to hear what he means. As a singer, he knows exactly how to manage his vocals, creating an emotional plane, complementing the jangle of the banjo and the wail of the accordion with either excited exuberance or with the haunting howl and growl of a campfire storyteller.

Chief Andrea Paul and Environment Minister Randy Delorey sign the 'historic' agreement in principle regarding Boat Harbour.
©John Brannen - TC MEDIA
Monday afternoon, Pictou Landing First Nation Chief Andrea Paul looked as though a huge weight had been lifted from her shoulders.
After a difficult two-hour meeting with Pictou Landing community and band members, the band council decided to accept and sign on to an agreement in principle with the provincial government that will see firm timelines by June 2015 on ending the flow of effluent into Boat Harbour.
Paul and Environment Minister Randy Delorey signed the document June 16.
"(The) government is committed to cleaning up Boat Harbour," said Delorey. "Building trust among the First Nations community and the broader Pictou area community is going to take time. That's what this agreement is all about."
In return, the band agreed to dismantle its blockade of the road leading to the site of the effluent leak from Northern Pulp Nova Scotia Corp. near Indian Cross Point in Pictou Landing.
"This is a historic day," said Paul. "At the community meeting, the elders spoke loud and clear. They are ready to trust the government once again and have asked us to take down the blockade. We have ended our protest."
Since the effluent leak was discovered last Tuesday morning, the mill has been in shut-down mode. A peaceful blockade assembled after it was discovered that the leak was near a First Nations burial grounds. By late yesterday afternoon, all but a handful of protesters had dispersed.
David MacKenzie, governmental affairs and communications manager with Northern Pulp, said it's been a long week for the company's workers and their families and that he's glad to see they can get on with repairing the pipe and starting up the mill again.
"We're happy to see this going forward," he said.
Boat Harbour, a tidal lagoon within Pictou Landing First Nation, has been leased by the province to be used by Northern Pulp as an effluent treatment facility for the past 47 years.
With the signing of the agreement in principle, the government commits to enacting into law timelines on stopping the flow of effluent into Boat Harbour and the site's remediation by June 30, 2015.
"We will be at the table with the province to make sure the treatment facility will be closed as soon as possible," said Paul. "I have the personal assurance of the premier and Minister Delorey that the province is prepared to spend whatever it takes to make this happen."
The agreement states that, if a suitable agreement isn't reached by June 2015 after good faith negotiations, the province will pay the band $1 million.
Premier McNeil stated the agreement formalizes government's commitment to remediate Boat Harbour.
"I am pleased constructive work is underway, and I'm very optimistic that the province is on track to a solution that works for everyone."
According to Delorey, it is too soon to say where and how much an alternative location for an effluent treatment facility will cost. The band puts the relocation cost at around $100 million.
"It's not over yet. The entire community is watching," said Paul. "It's now up to the province to deliver."
MacKenzie said that the inside of the effluent pipe will have to be examined and repairs done to it, but their goal is to have the pulp mill operational by the end of this week.
1964 – Scott Maritimes decides to build a mill at Abercrombie Point. The province agrees to provide adequate supplies of clean water to the mill as well as a place to discharge the wastewater after its use in pulping. Boat Harbour treatment facility established.
1965 – The Pictou Landing First Nations chief and council state concerns about odour. The province and Scott Maritimes take them on a trip to Saint John, N.B., to show them there is no smell. They agree in principle while on the trip.
1965 – A resolution is signed for an immediate lump sum payment of $60,000 in consideration of the permanent loss of fishing and hunting revenue and other benefits derived from the use of the land, with a final settlement to be subject to further negotiations between the province and Indian Affairs.
1967 – Mill begins operating.
1986 – Pictou Landing First Nation begins action against the federal government for breach of fiduciary duty in the case of Boat Harbour.
1991 – The federal government agrees to negotiate a settlement with Pictou Landing. The province promises to abate the adverse effects of the wastewater when the agreement with Scott Maritimes expires in 1995.
1993 – An agreement with the federal government is reached out of court. Pictou Landing First Nations is supposed to receive $35 million.
1995 – There is no alternative site identified by the time the Scott Maritime agreement expires; the province promises Boat Harbour will be closed by December 2005.
2000 – A study by Kimberly Clark shows the cost of building a replacement treatment facility will cost between $48-60 million. A plan is launched to build a pipeline directly to the channel instead.
2004 – Mill ownership is transferred to Neenah Paper.
2005 – The province and Neenah state that a pipeline is not feasible as it would not likely pass environmental assessment. They ask for an extension to December 2008.
2008 – Province agrees to extend licence after December 2008 on a month-to-month basis.
2008 – The business transfers to Northern Pulp. The province asks that Pictou Landing not protest the extension of the licence to Dec. 31, 2008, and promises not to extend it beyond that date without further consultation.
2008 – Band council chief writes to province advising them they will not agree to any further extensions.
2009 – The band council begins meeting with a negotiator, but meetings halt following the June 2009 provincial election. Talks don't resume until September, when the current minister of transportation asks for time to study the issue.
2010 – Pictou Landing First Nations asks the province to terminate the licence, effective June 30. The date passes with no change.
2010 –A lawsuit is filed against the province and Northern Pulp.
2014 – An effluent leak in the pipeline near Indian Cross Point sparks a peaceful protest that seeks a commitment from the province for firm deadlines in finding a more suitable location for Northern Pulp's effluent and the remediation of Boat Harbour. Agreement in principle signed by Pictou Landing First Nation chief and Minister of Environment.

Also, I tried to search on this forum and google but it is difficult to find results for a specific model for R2 which installs easily.
My laptop has built in wireless b/g which works fine with all the tools, but I get absolute crap range in my house because of a lot of interference. I have a Netgear WNDA3100v2 which works just fine in Windows, but I can't for the life of me get to work in Backtrack 4 R2. I tried as many tutorials as I could find (not many).
If there is anyone who has recently purchase a wireless N usb adapter which works with all the tools in Backtrack, and is relatively easy to install (ndiswrapper was also giving me trouble, so I mean EASY) can you please share the brand and model?
Also, I tried to search on this forum and google but it is difficult to find results for a specific model for R2 which installs easily.
and don't respond to your own posts please, just edit them.... otherwise the blue meanies come along and thump you in the head.
and-and...ndiswrapper is not your friend. you should read up on what you are trying to do a bit more...
I received the awus036NH this morning. I plugged it in, started the network, and had my internal wireless device with the switch in the off position.
lsusb recognizes the device and the blue light turns on. It says it has the RT2870/3070 chipset. Ifconfig doesn't show any wlan0, and WICD manager provides no results.
Any tips? I tried to look at some tutorials, but instructions seemed to be mixed, and i don't want to make the situation worse by messing around with the drivers unless i can get some specific steps.
Follow up: So I had to change the WICD interface to wlan1 instead of wlan0, and everything seems to be working fine. It picks up quite a bunch of networks all with 100%. However, when I tried to connect to my network, sometimes I can't obtain an ip address no matter how many times I try. Anybody else ever have this problem?

Arrhenoblastoma of ovaryStromal tumor; Gonadal stromal tumor; Sex cord tumor; Androblastoma
Arrhenoblastoma of the ovary is an ovarian tumor that releases the male hormone, testosterone, or other hormones.
See also: Sertoli-Leydig cell tumor
This is a rare tumor. It accounts for less than 0.5% of all ovarian tumors.
These tumors are found in women of all age groups, but are most common in young women.
This tumor releases male hormones, which causes the following symptoms in women:
- Deepening of the voice
- Increased acne
- Increased hair on the face and body
- Increased size of the clitoris
- Male pattern baldness
Exams and Tests
- Blood tests to check levels of hormones that may be released by the tumor
- CT scan of the pelvis and abdomen to see if the tumor has spread
- Ultrasound of the ovaries
Surgery to remove the tumor is the main treatment. If the cancer has spread, chemotherapy or radiation therapy may be considered.
Support Groups
You can ease the stress of illness by joining a support group where members share common experiences and problems. See cancer - support group.
Outlook (Prognosis)
The outcome of this disease depends on whether it has spread, and whether surgery can completely remove the tumor.
Arrhenoblastoma has a low chance of spreading. If the tumor is found early, the cure rate can be very good.
Possible Complications
- Complications of surgery
- Masculine symptoms (virilization)
- Spread of the tumor if it is not completely removed
When to Contact a Medical Professional
Call your health care provider if you are a woman and have masculine symptoms, or you feel a lump in your lower belly area.
There is no good screening test. Regular gynecologic exams and recognizing masculine symptoms may help detect the disease.

Altuzarra Spring 2014
"In mood, in spirit, I wanted something that felt easy, something that women would want to wear in summer," explained Joseph Altuzarra during a preview of his graceful spring 2014 collection, "—an idea of subtlety, of restraint, of quietness." Altuzarra designed this supremely elegant collection "in the heat of summer—in Greece," and the clothes certainly seemed ready to waft into an Aegean island wardrobe.
The show opened with stylish separates—men's shirts and the season's lean, mid-calf length skirts—in soft shantung silks and light cottons in ivory or navy, the paler versions printed with different French ticking stripes blown large. Those skirts (often cut with side splits to wink open as they walked) sometimes had fabric rouleaux that flew about in movement, and were occasionally turned and rolled at the waist, revealing the reverse side of the fabric, in a gesture that seemed improvised, like the shirt sleeves that were designed and stitched to appear as though the wearer had just ruched them up, or the fine knit sweaters that seemed layered one on another. There was a Greek flavor to the bolero jackets, too, built up with elaborate but subtle tone-on-tone hand-stitching and trimmed with rows of tiny covered buttons, and to Philip Crangi's brass jewels, spiral-flourished torques, and bracelets.
Altuzarra was also drawn to the strange poetry of Japanese boro patchworks, utilitarian indigo textiles patched together in the most sophisticated spirit of make do and mend (a fisherman's jacket, for instance, might be expected to last a lifetime with this careful attention) and prints of boro "collages" were used for shapely blazers and shirts. We've seen tiered leather fringing on the fall runways, but it looked novel used more subtly to trim the cuffs and inner front of a man-tailored tuxedo. Those evening tuxedo jackets in black or white crepe, and the skimpy knits, had discreet flashes of rhinestone embroidery peeking from under a collar or tracing the line of a closure. The monochrome palette was gently flecked with silver or gold—a wrapped skirt worn with a skinny fine-rib knit, for instance—building up to a brace of beautiful liquid metal dresses.

Explanation of verses from Surah Qaf and Surat Al-Fath by Mr. Adnan Oktar
Surah Qaf; Verse 30
On the Day He says to Hell, ´Are you full?´ it will ask, ´Are there no more to come?´
This, of course, is a threat from Almighty God. People say; "Man is compassionate and merciful. God is compassionate and merciful. And He is All-Merciful." That is right. But they say; "He would not throw His servants into Hell." Is God not the One Who razed nations to the ground? He is. God razed Syria to the ground. He razed Iraq to the ground, he razed Afghanistan to the ground. A hellish torture has enveloped the world right now. That means Almighty God gives such a response when what He says is not done. It is no use to plead ignorance. We need to recognize God with a plain and reasonable logic.
Surah Qaf; Verse 31
And the Garden will be brought up close to those with piety, not far away:
God says; "...the Garden will be brought up close to those with piety, not far away" That means Heaven is up close to people, insha'Allah.
Surah Al-Fath; Verse 4
It is He Who sent down serenity into the hearts of Muslims thereby increasing their faith with more faith— the legions of the heavens and the earth belong to God. God is All-Knowing, All-Wise
"It is He Who sent down serenity into the hearts" "serenity." That means people feel at ease when they have a feeling of serenity in their hearts. Sometimes God takes away that feeling. One would go crazy. He would not be able to control himself, may God forbid, once that feeling of serenity is lost, it makes one sick. One would go see a doctor, feeling puzzled about what to do. "It is He Who sent down serenity into the hearts." For instance, God takes away serenity from one's heart and he says; "I feel restless." He cannot calm down. That is because God takes away that serenity. And God says; "I am the One Who sends down serenity into the hearts" That is why serenity is a great blessing. One might say; "I am a peaceful person, what is the big deal?" Actually, serenity is a blessing bestowed upon people. If you take it away it would devastate that person. If you take away the feeling of safety, it would devastate that person. He would feel fear for no reason. An unfounded fear would haunt him if the feeling of safety is taken away. And that is dangerous, that is a scourge. Actually the feeling of safety is a blessing bestowed upon us by God. People, everyone, all of us should appreciate it as is due.
Surat Al Fath; Verse 7
The legions of the heavens and the earth belong to God. God is Almighty, All-Wise.
God says; "The legions of the heavens and the earth belong to God." For instance, there is Chinese army. People call it the "Chinese army"; actually it is not the Chinese army, but the army of God. The Russian army is the army of God. The Turkish army is the army of God. God uses all armies as He likes. For instance, the Syrian army is under the command of God. They all are under the command of God. God uses them all as He likes, however He sees fit. He inflicts them upon a persecutor if He likes, He uses them to protect the wronged ones if He likes. People cannot know the Wisdom behind it, but God does. However they will understand in the Hereafter. Almighty God tells them if He likes.

Eliot from Jordan's Furniture talks to Matty about new Red Sox promotion
Matt Siegel, better known to Bostonians as "Matty in the Morning," has ruled the ratings in the Boston market since he first arrived at KISS 108! Matty's unique interview style and insightful yet sarcastic commentary has allowed him the good fortune of winning the coveted National Association of Broadcaster's Marconi Award for Personality of the Year, not once, but twice.
The Matty Show's signature segment is the wildly popular "Right Now," where Matty takes live callers and helps listeners with whatever is going on in their lives! In addition to his national awards, Matty has been inducted into the Massachusetts Radio Hall of Fame. When he is not on the air making New Englanders laugh during their brutal morning commute, Matty spends a great deal of his free time on the golf course attempting to lower his handicap.
