See if that helps
Also when you are searching the forums use bluetooth and Dr.Green in the search fields.
Well This semester is almost over! I asked my teacher if he had anything that I could look into during the summer that would keep me busy?
He said look into Wifi sniffing and BT sniffing!
Well I got the wifi covered, but what about Bluetooth?
I found this: http://cgi.ebay.com/Advanced-Linksys...2em118Q2el1247
The normal dongle is about $50.00 so this modification hes doing for the antenna is 100% Markup.
Is it worth it? Would this be a good BT sniffer?
(Also I read that paper on Remote-Exploits website on BT sniffers and how hard they are go get, thats why im asking...
See if that helps
Also when you are searching the forums use bluetooth and Dr.Green in the search fields.
To be successful here you should read all of the following.
If you are new to Back|Track
Back|Track Wiki
Failure to do so will probably get your threads deleted or worse.
Ok, Good news, I found this link: http://forums.remote-exploit.org/sho...ight=Bluetooth
Bad news, theres no dongle like that on ebay...
Hey guys
First thing http://cgi.ebay.com/Advanced-Linksys...2em118Q2el1247 will be a Broadcom chipset and will be useless You may as well go buy any other dongle for $10
You are looking for the CSR BC0* * = 2,3,4 chipset. I suggest you research abit more before jumping in.

For UK and Europe
Fujitsu Siemens Bluetooth v2.0
SMA Connector mod completed and I'm now testing before posting tutorial
For USA
SMA Connector
NOTE: Might be worth buying a little plastic project box and installing this adapter inside that. Then putting on ebay for $300 dollars hehehe
Project Box
D-Link DBT-120
Well I dont know about plastic box idea...but hey, I might try it some day (I say that a lot). As for the D-Link DBT-120, That looks good, but whats the range on that thing?
Also where can I get the CSR Updated Firmware for it? If thats the upgradeable sniffer type dongle?
(I think ill search the form later)
LOL you say it like its a big mission to glue the thing into a box
Range on the D-Link adapter is irrelevant when it comes down to sniffing bluetooth packets. Range for bluetooth "sniffing" is about 6 to 12 inches from the master I'm afraid. When the weather gets abit better I hope to do some research with long range sniffing
I have added a sma connector to a bluetooth dongle and I'm just waiting for my amp and antenna to turn up.
And you think that box would really fit the card? That has a external connector. I would think I would get a better range with that one then the D-Link....? But i still am hesitant when it comes to arts-and-crafts project....

View More Features and Specifications
The E-Class offers a wide range of models that are each quite different, yet they each have plush cabins, some of the world's best safety innovations, and a reputation like no other. All of the E-Class models also have great ride quality and a relatively quiet interior -- even the Cabriolet. The E63 AMG S packs an intense level of performance in an otherwise somewhat staid luxury package. There's also an economical powertrain in the E250 Blue TEC diesel.
Compare the 2016 Mercedes-Benz E-Class against similar models
For 2016, Mercedes-Benz has dropped the E400 hybrid from the E-Class lineup, as well as the E63 AMG, though the E63 AMG S remains.
A vehicle's warranty can significant impact your maintenance costs after you drive off the dealer's lot, and it's important to understand the different parts. Typically, a new car warranty includes a Basic warranty, which covers everything except the wear items such as brakes and tires; and a Drivetrain warranty, that covers all the parts that make the car move, such as the engine and transmission
Below are pictures of the 2016 Mercedes-Benz E-Class. Select the picture you want to view below
Below are the available colors for the 2016 Mercedes-Benz E-Class. Select the color to see a close-up view.
The Mercedes-Benz E-Class delivers elegant comfort and abundant luxury in a full range of models. The quintessential Mercedes-Benz, the E-Class lineup ranges from a thrifty diesel engine to a super-performance 577-horsepower AMG V8, with three stops in between. Body-style choices include a sedan and a wagon, or coupe and cabriolet (convertible). Rear-wheel drive and 4MATIC four-wheel drive are available.
The lineup includes the E250 BlueTec (diesel) sedan; E350 sedan or wagon; E400 sedan, wagon, coupe, or cabriolet; E550 coupe or cabriolet; and E63 AMG sedan or wagon. The E400 Hybrid has been dropped.
With an E-Class, you get unmistakable German presence that's both elegant and sporty. Not only is the E-Class a comfortable midsize luxury motorcar, it can even be enjoyable to drive.
Inside the roomy cabin are excellent materials and trim elements: the kind long associated with the brand. Controls feel solid. Standard leatherette upholstery and wood can be upgraded to supple leather and aluminum or carbon-look trim.
The 3.5-liter, direct-injected gasoline V6 that comes in the E350 produces 302 horsepower and can accelerate from zero to 60 mph in 7 seconds. The 3.0-liter twin-turbo E400 V6 makes 329 horsepower. The 4.7-liter twin-turbo V8 in the E550 whips up 402 horsepower. Topping the line, the E63 AMG's 5.5-liter biturbo V8 now generates 577 horsepower and is capable of accelerating from zero to 60 in 4 seconds. A 7-speed automatic transmission is standard.
Top fuel-economy choice is the E250 diesel, which loses a little acceleration but is EPA-rated at 42 mpg in highway driving. The 2.1-liter BlueTec four-cylinder makes 195 horsepower and 369 pound-feet of torque. Even the performance-focused gasoline versions include fuel-saving technologies like Eco mode and engine stop/start.
Numerous active-safety features can monitor blind spots, detect driver drowsiness, automatically control high beams, maintain distance from vehicle ahead, and help you stay in your lane. A stereo camera system enables 3-D imaging of traffic and road obstacles ahead.
Every E-Class gets the mbrace2 smartphone connectivity suite. For 2016, mbrace adds three pay upgrade options: mbrace Secure, Concierge, and Entertain. For 2016, AMG models get S equipment that was formerly optional.
Two body styles have earned Top Safety Pick+ status from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, but the E-Class gets a disappointing four-star overall crash-test rating from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
E250 BlueTec Sport or Luxury Sedan ($52,650) includes the diesel engine, MB-Tex leatherette upholstery, power front seats, dual-zone climate control, Bluetooth, power-adjustable steering wheel, foglamps, sunroof, and eight-speaker audio, and 17-inch wheels. E250 also comes with 4Matic all-wheel drive ($55,150).
E350 Sport or Luxury Sedan ($53,100) holds the 302-horsepower, 3.5-liter gasoline V8 engine. Sport models include sport exhaust tips, side sills, 18-inch wheels, and distinct gauges. E350 also comes with all-wheel drive ($59,900).
E400 Sport Sedan ($63,100) gets the twin-turbo 329-horsepower V6 and 18-inch wheels, as do the Coupe ($54,200) and Cabriolet ($62,250). All-wheel drive is available for Coupe ($56,700) and Sedan ($65,600).
E550 Coupe ($60,300) and Cabriolet ($68,700) include a 402-horsepower, 4.7-liter V8.
AMG E63 S 4Matic Sedan ($101,700) and Wagon ($104,300) get a 577-horsepower biturbo V8, AMG-tuned suspension, and 19-inch wheels.
Up to eleven airbags are standard in sedans and wagons, including a driver's knee airbag. Rear side airbags are optional. So are a rearview camera and parking sensors. An available surround-view camera shows obstacles in any direction, at parking lot speeds.
Each of the four body styles is handsome and imposing, but familiar and fairly conservative. Several trim levels come with either a Sport or Luxury styling theme. Luxury models have a three-bar grille and hood-mounted "star†logo. On Sport models, a big Mercedes-Benz star is built into a twin-louver grille. Principal design elements include bodyside creases, elegant yet sporty lower side trim, LED running lights, and LED taillamps. Coupes display a graceful roofline, which makes the car appear lower.
Bold detail work injects plenty of personality into each E-Class. For instance, the twin headlights merge into a single unit. On two-door models, LED light bars separate the two and serve as running lights. Coupes and convertibles have more prominently flared wheels. Picking out the high-performance E63 AMG S is easy, courtesy of unique wheels and special lower-body aero treatment.
Cabins manage to be both conservative and modern. Sharp corners and creases help convey a traditionally luxurious appearance. All E-Class models include wood, metal, and refined plastic trim pieces, creating a classy look with laudable fit and finish. Cabins are among the quietest in this vehicle class.
In addition to plush elements and fabulous seats, sedans and wagons offer loads of space; coupes and convertibles, less so. Sedans seat five adults in comfort, with excellent head and leg space in both front and rear, despite the standard sunroof. Back-seat entry is easy.
Coupes and convertibles hold four, with comparatively big back seats, but getting there can be a squeeze. Legroom could be better, but both seats are comfortable. Wagons are even more versatile, with fold-down seats, plus two rear-facing third-row seats available for temporary duty.
AMG models get upgraded interiors with highly-adjustable sport seats, alcantara trim, aluminum pedals, and a flat-bottom steering wheel.
Console buttons are too numerous for easy use, and the interface of Mercedes-Benz's COMAND can be troublesome. Small-items storage is good, including a two-tier glovebox.
Depending on model, an E-Class might focus on luxury, fuel economy, or performance. With its strong engine torque, the efficient E250 BlueTec diesel sedan is satisfying and engaging, yielding a light, responsive feel most of the time. Smooth power delivery is the byword for the mainstream engine, the 3.5-liter E350 V6. Still, the V6 in E400 models feels markedly stronger than the base V6, with barely a hint of turbo lag.
Stepping up to the E550, its twin-turbo 4.7-liter V8 is a particularly evocative performer, promising 0-60 mph acceleration in 5.2 seconds. Its standard air-spring adaptive suspension delivers an even, still-supple ride. Air springs also go on the E350 wagon.
Equipped with paddle shifters, Mercedes-Benz's 7-speed automatic transmission isn't the most responsive, compared to 8-speed units installed in many current luxury cars. All E-Class cars have electric power steering. The "Direct Steer" system adds some quickness and heft to the steering, so it feels better than most rivals.
Most E-Class models are well-controlled, with agile road manners, though they're less tautly-tuned than sporty Audi or BMW cars. Softly tuned Luxury models suffer ample body lean and can scrub their tires easily. Sport versions are better controlled, thanks to a slightly-lowered suspension and 18-inch wheels.
Simply put, the factory-tuned AMG duo is in a class of its own. For 2016, those E63 AMG models come only in higher-performance S trim, with standard all-wheel drive and 0-60 mph acceleration time near 4 seconds. Expect a rousing exhaust note, but the AMG's adaptive suspension keeps the sedan or wagon well planted on the pavement, with a strong, solid feel.
As for fuel economy, the E250 BlueTec diesel is EPA-rated at 28/42 mpg (City/Highway), or 27/38 mpg with all-wheel drive. Both the E350 and E400 are EPA-rated at 20/29 mpg with rear-drive, while the E550 drops to 17 or 18 mpg in city driving. The E63 AMG sedan is EPA-rated at 15/22 mpg (City/Highway).
With a dizzying number of models to choose from, E-Class buyers have plenty of flexibility. Despite hefty prices, leather upholstery and a rearview camera aren't standard on lower-level versions, but just about any option can be added if you're willing to pay.

As you know, pricing cars is particularly complicated. One of our duties at CarQuotes.com is to help our customers comprehend this process better.
CarQuotes.com Estimated Target Price is for research purposes only. It reflects a typical, negotiated price (before taxes and other customary fees and charges, such as dealer documentation fees, tire and battery disposal fees, license and registration, and where applicable, finance charges) generally found for the vehicle that you selected. The Estimated Target Price is NOT a price quote from CarQuotes.com or any other dealer. If you request a price quote from a dealer via CarQuotes.com displaying an estimated target price, your price may differ.
Invoice is commonly known as the published amount that the dealer paid the manufacturer for the vehicle. This may or may not represent a close relation to the dealer's actual cost, but can be beneficial as a benchmark. This figure is available on many other web sites however CarQuotes.com adds an estimate of local and regional fees from manufacturer to the dealers to this price, which makes it very close to the actual invoice amount for cars at your local dealer.
MSRP is the Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price. This is a proposed price only. For most vehicles, the CarQuotes.com price is below this amount. Some high demand cars may be priced over this amount.
The CarQuotes.com Target Price is to be used as a general guide that reflects a typical, market price (before taxes and other customary fees and charges) generally found for the vehicle that you selected. This price is based on our research and estimates of supply and demand in the marketplace. There are many factors that go into the final price of a particular vehicle including local supply and demand. Your final price may differ.
The 'base' price of the vehicle
All options that you select
Base Destination Charges — this is a charge that is added to the base price for every vehicle
Any related Estimated Manufacture to Consumer Cash Rebates. Note: rebates are subject to change at any time. Please make sure to confirm any consumer Cash rebates with your dealer representative at the time of purchase.
Local taxes, license fees and other local fees, such as dealer documentation fees, tire and battery disposal fees, and where applicable, finance charges — these fees are also excluded from Dealer Invoice and MSRP and would be excluded from most advertisements you might see.
Random 'special qualification' rebates — i.e., for new college grads only; for customers trading in a specific type of car. Ask your dealer Representative for more information on 'special qualification' rebates.
The Estimated CarQuotes Dealer Price is an estimate of the pricing presented to CarQuotes members from CarQuotes Authorized Dealers in your area, and is calculated by subtracting an estimated savings value from the Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price ("MSRP") as well as a value that relates to invoice for the "ideal vehicle" you configured. Dealer documentation, administrative or similar processing fees are not included in the price estimate. Any vehicle configured on the CarQuotes website is an "ideal vehicle" and may not exist at a CarQuotes Authorized Dealer or any other partner dealer. Each Dealer attempts to match a member's vehicle preferences with the best possible selection from current, in-stock inventory.
The Estimated Savings represents the estimated amount of savings off of MSRP available to you from CarQuotes Dealers for a vehicle consistent with your configured preferences plus any customer incentives currently available. This is also true when it comes to CarQuotes estimated target prices. Your actual savings will depend on several factors including market conditions, the style of vehicle you select, installed options, dealer coverage, and applicable manufacturer incentives. Each dealer sets its own pricing.
In most cases, you must choose between these programs OR a customer rebate or a special manufacturer-to-dealer incentive that may or may not already be included in your CarQuotes.com Target Price. So, your final price may go up if you take advantage of special manufacturer financing. Credit Union members should contact their Credit Union loan department to determine what type of loan and financing options are right for you.
Please note that CarQuotes.com strives to include identified manufacturer incentives within the CarQuotes.com Target Price. CarQuotes.com does not administer these programs, which are subject to and often change without notice. Eligibility for these programs is subject to verification by a licensed auto dealer.
Ask your dealer representative for complete manufacturer program details for your area, and how participation in these programs will affect your price.
The base vehicle is the vehicle before any optional equipment or destination fees have been added. All of the standard features are included in the base vehicle.
This is the total charge for all optional equipment included in the configuration of your virtual vehicle. The Options charge varies depending on whether it is calculated based on the Factory Invoice or MSRP. Options are not included in the base vehicle price and are not considered standard features.
A Regional Fee is the fee a manufacturer charges a dealer to advertise and promote the vehicle in the dealer's market. CarQuotes also includes estimated manufacturer preparation charges (manufacturer charges to the dealer to cover any work done on the car prior to delivering it to the dealership) and fuel charges (the charge for the fuel in the tank when the buyer purchases the vehicle) in this total. CarQuotes attempts to include regional ad fees in its Factory Invoice calculations; other sites at times do not.
These are the amounts that manufacturers charge to deliver a vehicle from the factory to the dealership.
Customer incentives are also commonly known as customer cash or bonus incentives. These incentives are offered by manufacturers as a way of enticing buyers into purchasing a vehicle.
Dealer Invoice price may or may not bear close relation to a dealer's actual cost for the vehicle. In some cases, a cost for a vehicle may be significantly less than the invoice price originally paid for the vehicle. Any difference between invoice price and the dealer's final cost may be caused by many factors including factory refunds, rebates, allowances, or incentives which the manufacturer or distributor may provide to the dealer.

A Beauty Tool For Better Skin — And Migraines, Too!
Cenoire created a facial massager intended to be used to give you a little bit of a pick-me-up when your skin is feeling tired and grey. The 24K Beautè Bar is a helpful tool that can give you a facial massage on the go, offering 6,000 vibrations per minute to bring a little color and luster to your face. But, BONUS! It also works well as an ancillary treatment for headaches. I found this out yesterday when my migraine (currently on day two) was at its worst. Running the Beautè Bar against the bones in my nose and cheeks instantly cleared up congestion and left me breathing better. And, while, yes, I still have that pesky migraine, massaging around my eye (the center of the storm, as it were), did help alleviate a bit of the pain. So better skin and less intense headaches? I call that a win-win. [$59.99, Cenoire]

With its ability to manage surface water runoff, the construction industry has known that pervious concrete is "green." It is now discovering that pervious concrete can also be tan, red, black, or brown. That's because pervious concrete can be integrally colored to match the surrounding landscape or to provide a complementary or contrasting hue to make pavement stand out visually.
Pervious concrete can be tinted with the same integral pigments used to color other concrete products. The dry mixtures used for pervious concrete require special attention to assure uniform colorant dispersion, cautions Nick Paris, vice president of colorant producer Davis Colors.
While you can get satisfactory results with concentrated powder pigments, Paris suggests considering liquid colors because they disperse more readily in dry mixtures. The water in liquid colors and any water added by an automatic dosing system must be subtracted from the amount of batch water added to the concrete.
Paris explains that the low water/cement ratio in pervious concrete mixtures can give colored pervious a darker or more intense shade than ordinary concrete mixtures with similar pigment dosages. The colors of the cement, supplementary cementitious materials, and aggregates also influence the shade.
Color also may appear darker in pervious pavement because its rough texture reduces the glare associated with conventional concrete pavement. Paris advises making final color selections based upon viewing fully cured samples made with the materials and workmanship to be used in the field.
Carefully adding water
Maintaining consistency from batch-to-batch (and even from the beginning of a batch placement to its end) can be challenging, whether it is colored or uncolored. While a cardinal rule of conventional colored concrete is to avoid adding water at the jobsite, it may be necessary to violate this precept to maintain pervious concrete at a workable consistency.
With a dry mixture and large surface area, pervious concrete is prone to inconsistent evaporation because of workmanship, sunlight, and wind. When any of these scenarios occurs, even small changes in the water/cement ratio will alter pavement appearance.
To cure pervious concrete, the National Ready Mixed Concrete Association recommends misting and covering it with plastic sheets within 20 minutes of placement. Contact between the concrete and plastic can cause uneven concrete coloration. If this is not acceptable, consider tenting the pavement so the plastic does not come in direct contact with the concrete.
The appearance of pervious concrete, whether colored or not, can change over time. Pores can become filled with silt and other particulates and may require periodic vacuuming or power washing. Traffic patterns also can erode cement paste from the pavement surface. Even the best pervious concrete pavements are prone to raveling, the loss of aggregate
With all these potential concerns, it's no surprise that pervious pavement does not always look "pretty." This should be discussed with customers before the start of a project to make sure expectations are realistic.

LONG BEACH - The future of affordable and accessible public education depends on the passing of the governor's tax initiative in November.
That was one of the messages state Sen. Alan Lowenthal had for students at Cal State Long Beach on Thursday in a town hall meeting at the Nugget Grill & Pub on campus.
Lowenthal, chair of the Senate Education Committee, organized the event, called "Policy on Tap," as a way to talk to students about important legislation affecting education.
Speaking before a crowd of a few dozen students and faculty, Lowenthal noted the deep funding cuts to education, including an overall 26 percent cut in funding to the Cal State University System.
The senator said public education will see an additional $5 billion loss if the November tax initiative fails to pass.
"We can't continue to balance our budget every year by cutting," Lowenthal said. "We need to make sure we pass this tax initiative in November to keep education affordable and accessible. Voting in November is the single most important thing you can do for education."
In a question-and-answer session, students shared concerns, such as the cost of classes and inability to find jobs.
"What do you think of (CSU) Chancellor Charles Reed and the job that he's doing?" asked Cal State Long Beach Native American studies professor Sam Coleman.
In response, Lowenthal said CSU administrators have long been "tone deaf" when it comes to the plight of students and faculty. He noted the CSU Trustees' decision to approve a hefty pay raise for the San Diego State president last year, while in the same meeting they also voted to raise student tuition.
Lowenthal said state legislators are now circulating a bill, SB 952, which he said would put a $245,000 cap on all CSU administrator salaries.
On the issue of jobs, one student noted that she has two degrees but still can't find a job.
"What are you doing to help job creation?" she asked.
Lowenthal said the state can work to create more jobs by providing more incentives for businesses, including stimulus packages and small business loans.
"We need to be able to provide more low-interest loans for small businesses, because that's really what drives the California economy - the initiation of small businesses," he said.
Lowenthal, a Long Beach resident, served on the Long Beach City Council from 1992 to 1998 and is a former Cal State Long Beach psychology professor. He is running for Congress in November.

Snapchat Data Breach Exposes Millions of Names, Phone Numbers
Snapchat, a company that has made a name for itself by offering people a way to send very private correspondence, has suffered a very public leak of its users' information. And there doesn't appear to be much that users can do about it.
On Tuesday night, a hacker published a database reportedly containing 4.6 million Snapchat user names and phone numbers. The makers of the popular app – which as of September handled 350 million disappearing messages per day – did not respond to requests for comment, nor has the company commented on social media channels or elsewhere.
The hacker (or group) going by the name "Lightcontact" first posted the database on Reddit and on a website called SnapchatDB.info. The site was taken down, but not before the data quickly circulated around the Web, with programmers building web tools – such as GS Lookup and Snapcheck – to help Snapchat users check to see if their own user names or phone numbers were leaked.
Many people on social media and around the Web have reported finding their user names and phone numbers in the database. A Wall Street Journal reporter confirmed that the database is real after spotting his own account information.
Snapchat was warned in August, in a report by a computer security research firm, that its data were vulnerable, said Chris Soghoian, a security and privacy researcher at the American Civil Liberties Union.
After being ignored, Soghoian said, the firm – Gibson Security – published a blog post alerting the public about the issue. "And that went ignored too," Soghoian said. "This leak shows you they aren't handling this correctly. Granted, they're much smaller than a Google or Twitter, but they just haven't invested in security the way that they should."
"It just doesn't seem to take a lot to figure out how to bypass the protections they have in place," said Robbie Trencheny, an Oakland app developer who late Tuesday night collaborated with a friend to put together the tool hosted on the GS Lookup page.
Still, this exploit isn't as bad as it could have been, said author and consumer privacy expert Bob Sullivan.
"These aren't credit card numbers and these aren't social security numbers – they're phone numbers," Sullivan said. "What's the worst case scenario? Someone you don't want to have your number has your number. This is far from ideal, but not the worst thing that could happen."
So what can the people do if their user names and phone numbers have been exposed? Not much.
"Closing your Snapchat account wouldn't do any good since the data is pretty much out there," Sullivan said. "People usually use the same user name across their online accounts, so for many, it would be easy to take a user name and phone number and figure out what a person's real name is. If that scares you, then you might want to consider changing your user names across accounts, but that's about the most you can do now."
Some services won't let you change a user name without creating a new account.
To provide context, Sullivan points to the recent credit and debit card leak at Target and the Sony password leaks of 2011.
"On a scale of 1 to 10, if Target is an 8 and those password leaks are a 9, this is a 2 or 3," he said.

Senator Jay Rockefeller today announced that he is working on a bill to help combat diabetes by making more West Virginians eligible for preventive care. The bill expands that National Diabetes Prevention Program to those enrolled in Medicare -- a change that studies show will improve care and reduce health care costs.
"Diabetes is a national epidemic and particularly serious problem in West Virginia, affecting more than 1 in 10 adults in the state," said Rockefeller. "This bill will combat this illness head on by expanding a proven diabetes prevention program to Medicare. It will improve the health of millions of seniors and individuals with disabilities -- and in many cases help them avoid diabetes -- reduce health costs nationwide, and create jobs. This bill is a win-win, and I can't overstate the importance of it and this program for our families and communities."
The Medicare Diabetes Prevention Act will help seniors and individuals with disabilities prevent type 2 diabetes by allowing Medicare to implement the National Diabetes Prevention Program through community settings like the YMCA, local health departments, community health centers, and local churches -- reaching people with Medicare wherever they live. This program will also help give a new wellness tool to people who are at risk of becoming diabetic. For example, if a senior is found at risk for diabetes through his or her annual wellness visit, the doctor will be able to refer the patient to a National Diabetes Prevention Program in the area.
West Virginia has some of the highest diabetes rates in the nation. In 2009, approximately 174,000 adults -- 11 percent of West Virginia adults -- had diabetes. According to Centers for Disease Control estimates, as many as 50 percent of the nearly 380,000 people with Medicare in West Virginia may be at risk of developing diabetes. If current trends continue, one in three children born in West Virginia after the year 2000 will develop diabetes within his or her lifetime.
The reasons for expanding the National Diabetes Prevention Program to Medicare are clear:
It improves health. The program has already successfully reduced the onset of type 2 diabetes in at-risk participants by 58 percent overall and 71 percent in adults over 60 years old. Diabetes is a lifelong chronic illness that can cause severe complications including heart and kidney disease, stroke, blindness, and amputations. Expanding this effective program to Medicare enrollees is a cost-effective way to improve the quality of care and help them steer clear of diabetes and its complications.
It saves money. Diabetes is one of the most costly and burdensome diseases on our health care system. The National Diabetes Prevention Program costs less than $500 per person to deliver, compared to the estimated $15,000 per year spent on each Medicare beneficiary with diabetes. According to the Urban Institute, implementing the program nationally could save $191 billion over the next ten years, with 75 percent of the savings going to the Medicare and Medicaid programs.
It creates jobs. The program will bring diabetes trainers to more communities nationwide. West Virginia has already received funding for the National Diabetes Prevention Program from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention which will allow the state to train at least 100 community health workers to help disseminate the program in the state over the next five years.
Rockefeller added, "There is much at stake in our fight against diabetes, and we should give West Virginians and all Americans every opportunity to live long, healthy lives. It's up to us to build a healthier West Virginia and this bill is an important step in that direction."

Braden Anderson went 4-for-5 and drove in three runs to lead the Utah baseball team to a 13-6 victory over Kansas on Sunday at Spring Mobile Ballpark.
The Utes (19-29) put up 16 hits on the Jayhawks (31-23), who went up 2-0 in the first inning before giving up 10 unanswered runs.
Tyler Relf went 3-for-4 and drove in two runs.
Dalton Carroll earned the victory for Utah, striking out five and giving up no earned runs in 61⁄3 innings. His record improved to 4-7.
The Utes won despite committing five errors.
"That was as complete an offensive performance as we've had all year," Utah coach Bill Kinneberg said.
"We did a great job with situational hitting, we squared up some balls and did some nice base running. The only thing that was not up to par today was our defense. We made five errors, but we made some great plays to compensate for that. Dalton and [reliever Josh] Chapman did a really nice job to get out of some things that could have escalated."

Monday Morning Quarterback Week 4
The Good
The Bad
Baltimore RavensCleveland Browns
Joe Flacco is looking more like a championship-caliber quarterback each game. While he was not at his best, the Ravens quarterback threw for 390 yards and a touchdown in the win over the Browns.
Brandon Weeden plays with a ton of effort, but he does not have enough help at this point to help him get the job done. He was just 25-of-52 against the Ravens, and he did not throw a touchdown pass. Weeden appears overmatched against most opponents.
Atlanta FalconsCarolina Panthers
Matt Ryan continues to play like a championship quarterback. The Panthers were primed for a great game, yet Ryan threw for 369 yards and 3 touchdowns. Ryan knows how to make plays under pressure and he is doing that consistently.
The Panthers did a lot better after falling apart in Week Three vs. the Giants, but Cam Newton's late fumble gave the Falcons the opportunity they needed to score the winning points on Matt Bryant's field goal with five seconds remaining.
New England PatriotsBuffalo Bills
After a pair of frustrating defeats, the Pats took out their frustrations with a late rally against the Bills. The Pats scored 45 points in the second half – 31 in the fourth quarter – in registering their memorable comeback. Tom Brady was magnificent, throwing for 340 yards and three touchdowns.
There are losses and then there are devastating defeats. While much of Buffalo's defeat falls at the feet of the defense, quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick threw four interceptions and gave the Patriots an opportunity to operate off of a short field.
Minnesota VikingsDetroit Lions
The Vikings had their share of explosive plays, but they came from special teams. Quarterback Christian Ponder managed the game well and did not throw any interceptions against the Lions in front of a hostile Detroit crowd.
Ponder was not able to throw any scoring passes. While the Vikings won the game, they need more from him. Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford could not direct any scoring drives until the fourth quarter. This was a terrible home defeat for a team that considers itself a contender.
Houston TexansTennessee Titans
Matt Schaub is routinely spectacular. However, there is nothing routine about getting a piece of your ear ripped off one week and completing 20-of-28 passes for 202 yards and two touchdowns.
Jake Locker had to come out of the game early after injuring his left (non-throwing) shoulder. Backup Matt Hasselbeck played hard in throwing for 193 yards and two touchdowns, but he was simply not good enough to keep his team competitive.
San Diego ChargersKansas City Chiefs
Philip Rivers did not have to be at his best because the Chiefs were a turnover machine. Rivers made the most of a good situation, completing 18-of-23 passes for 209 yards and two touchdowns.
It wasn't all Matt Cassel's fault, but he threw three first-half interceptions that allowed the Chargers to sprint out to a 27-6 lead and get the easy victory. The Chiefs are quickly turning what appeared to be a promising season into a disaster.
San Francisco 49ersNew York Jets
There's nothing wrong when a quarterback performs the role of the game manager when his team rolls to a 34-point victory. That's just what Alex Smith did as he threw for 143 yards and did not throw an interception.
The Jets were unable to mount any kind of offense against the physical and nasty 49ers. Mark Sanchez got punished by the Niners defense, completing passes for 103 yards with an interception. Tim Tebow completed his only pass attempt of the game.
St. Louis RamsSeattle Seahawks
The Rams are showing they can be a competitive team at home. Sam Bradford stood up to Seattle's physical and intimidating defense and he threw for 221 yards while completing 16-of-30 passes.
There would be no miracle this week for Russell Wilson. He struggled to find consistency against the aggressive St. Louis defense and he threw three interceptions.
Arizona CardinalsMiami Dolphins
It may have come at the expense of a weak Miami Dolphins team, but Kevin Kolb rallied his teammates and the Arizona Cardinals are 4-0. Kolb was at his best when the game was on the line and he threw two fourth-quarter TD passes. Miami rookie quarterback Ryan Tannehill threw for 431 yards with one of the least impressive wide receiver crews in the league.
The Dolphins had the lead in the fourth quarter, but Tannehill wasn't quite good enough to sustain it. He's getting better, but he's not there yet.
Denver BroncosOakland Raiders
After a couple of shaky games that would have left another quarterback doubting himself, Peyton Manning showed he's still got life. He connected on 30-of-38 passes for 338 yards with 3 TDs and 0 interceptions. He picked apart the Raiders defense.
Carson Palmer was not the efficient quarterback who diced the Steelers' defense in Week Three. Instead, he was simply ordinary and could not lead the Raiders on one TD drive against a good but not special Denver defense.
Cincinnati BengalsJacksonville Jaguars
Sooner or later, Andy Dalton is starting to get some recognition. When you can go on the road and lead your team to a 17-point victory and do it by keeping your cool and throwing accurately, you are the real deal. Dalton threw for 244 yards and 2 touchdowns.
Blaine Gabbert has shown signs of being a workable quarterback, but he has not demonstrated anything close to consistency. Gabbert was held to 186 passing yards and was not effective.
Green Bay PackersNew Orleans Saints
Aaron Rodgers and Drew Brees have been two of the best quarterbacks in recent years and both put on a great show in Green Bay. Rodgers was relentless in throwing for 319 yards and 4 touchdowns, while Brees passed for 446 yards and 3 TDs while not throwing a pick. Brees has thrown at least one TD pass in 47 straight games, tying the record held by all-time great Johnny Unitas.
Despite the great numbers, Brees could not lead the Saints to the win and they are now buried with an 0-4 record.
Washington RedskinsTampa Bay Buccaneers
The education of Robert Griffin III continues, and he is passing most of his tests. He led the Redskins to a road victory over a hungry Tampa Bay team. RGIII threw for 323 yards and also ran for a touchdown. He did not thrown an interception. Josh Freeman led the Bucs back and nearly stole the game for the Bucs with a big second half.
Freeman seems to be concentrating more and looks like a decent NFL quarterback. While he nearly rallied the Bucs to a victory, his slow start put them in a hole.
Philadelphia EaglesNew York Giants
Michael Vick took a severe beating the first three weeks of the season, but the Eagles improved their blocking and the quarterback did just enough to beat the defending Super Bowl champions. Vick threw for 241 yards and a touchdown and he did not throw an interception.
After a slow start, Eli Manning threw for 309 yards. However his interception into the endzone on the first play of the fourth quarter hurt the Giants in their bid for a road win over their division rivals.

Caymus Special Selection Cabernet Sauvignon 2009
Cabernet Sauvignon from Napa Valley, California
Winemaker's Notes
Caymus Vineyards produces two Cabernets Sauvignons – a "Napa Valley" and the venerable "Special Selection." Both Cabernet bottlings have aromas and flavors which can only be achieved through "hang time" – a technique which chances the loss of crop if early winter sets in. Leaving the fruit to "hang" on the vine unusually long develops suppleness, increases color, and matures the tannins of the grapes. The wines are abundant in textural tannins yet soft as velvet. Crop thinning, allowing measured sunlight to reach the vine's fruit zone, and waiting for increased ripeness are all part of our viticultural practices. Caymus Cabernets offer a wide array of aromas and flavors including cocoa, cassis and vanilla.
Caymus Special Selection is the flagship wine of the Wagner family and is comprised of the very best barrels of the vintage. This wine is not produced in difficult years. Caymus Napa Valley is more representative of a standard Cabernet of Napa Valley, as it is a bit less precocious than the Special Selection, but still delivers big. Caymus prides itself on producing wines that are as approachable in youth as well at maturity. Both the "Napa Valley" and "Special Selection" Cabernets are produced under the winemaking hand of Chuck Wagner.
Did You Know
The 1991 vintage of this wine was ranked #2 on the Wine Spectator's Top 10 Wines of 1995
Critical Acclaim
Wine Enthusiast - "So delicious now, you can hardly keep your hands off it. Blackberry tart, ripe blueberry, cassis, milk chocolate, licorice and sweet, smoky cedar flavors flood the mouth, dramatically huge and memorable, and lasting long into the finish. The tannins are obvious, but sweetly ripe and soft. A brilliant evocation of Napa Cabernet, despite a high production level of nearly 30,000 cases, which is about the same size as a Bordeaux first growth. Shows the class and potency this bottling has exhibited for many years, and believe it or not, the price is a relative bargain these days. Drink now–2020."
Wine Spectator - "Temptingly rich and layered, with complex mocha, plum and wild berry fruit that's spicy and aromatic. Full-bodied, gaining depth and turning ever more elegant and detailed, with tannins that give this traction. Drink now through 2019."
Connoisseurs' Guide - "High in ripeness and generously enriched by scads of creamy, somewhat caramelly, slightly toasty oak, this full and complete wine from Caymus does a masterful job of delivering lots of concentrated currant fruit tinged with notes of blueberry and root beer. It is supple and a tad fleshy in feel and takes full advantage of its ample tannins for some needed spine that serves as an offset to its never-say-die, lengthy fruit on the palate. Put it away for five to ten years."

Caymus Winery
As the Wagner family celebrated the 40th anniversary of Caymus Vineyards in 2012, they thought back to 1972 which Charlie Wagner, Lorna Belle Glos Wagner and their son, Chuck, built their winery among the vines planted on the family's ranch in Rutherford, California - the center of the Napa Valley. In 1975, the Wagners produced their first Special Selection Cabernet Sauvignon, which remains the only wine to have twice been named Wine Spectator's "Wine of the Year" (1984 and 1990 vintage).

About Napa ValleyView a map of Napa Valley wineries
It's hard not to think of Napa Valley when thinking of California wines. The region is, after all, the one that brought world recognition to California wine making. The area was settled by a few choice wine families in the 1960's who bet that the wines of the area would grow and flourish. They were right. The Napa wine industry really took off in the 1980's, when vineyard lands were scooped up and vines were planted throughout the county. A number of wineries emerged, from large conglomerates to small boutiques to cult classics. Cabernet Sauvignon is definitely the grape of choice here, with many winemakers also focusing on Bordeaux Blends. Whites are usually Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc.
Notable FactsWithin the Napa Valley lie smaller sub-AVAs that lend even more character specifics to the wines. Furthest south is Carneros, followed by Yountville, Oakville & Rutherford. Above those two is St.-Helena and finally, just granted an AVA, Calistoga. These areas are situated on the valley floor and are known for creating rich, smooth Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Chardonnay. There are a few mountain regions as well, nestled on the slopes overlooking the valley AVAs. Those include Howell Mountain, Stags Leap and Mount Veeder. Wines from the mountain regions are often more structured and firm, benefiting from more time in the bottle to evolve and soften.
About CaliforniaIt's not rare to see a wine's country of origin listed as "California." A country unto itself in the wine world, California makes enough varieties and styles to match many European wine countries. It produces a diverse range of wines that span the quality spectrum.
The most famous of the California wine regions is Napa Valley, and these wines are certainly outstanding – but it's not as broad and diverse as its larger neighbor, Sonoma County. Down south, Santa Barbara's Santa Maria Valley is well-known for its Rhône blends, as well as cool-climate varieties like Pinot and Chardonnay. The Central Coast, the largest California AVA, has many different microclimates that lead to a wide range of wines with many sub-AVAs.

As we begin 2004, we face new emotions, experiences and responsibilities. Now that the deadline for the Victim Compensation Fund is behind us, we have the opportunity to focus our energy on other issues. There has been a lot happening; the memorial design for ground zero has been released, the Independent Commission is holding hearings on aviation and border security, and soon we may all be called upon to demand an extension of the 9/11 investigation – fighting to understand and account for the events that led to 9/11 and what happened on that terrible day.
There remains much work to do, and we are dedicated to relying on each other to make sure it is done. We wish you a safe and healthy new year, and, as always, welcome your comments and concerns so that we can work as a team, with collective power, to address them. Please feel free to contact us by phone at 212-575-1878 or by email at http://www.familiesofseptember11.org.
Issues Update
LMDC – Memorial Design for the WTC Memorial
Some of these changes were described in press accounts of the design in early January. The full understanding of the changes, in conjunction with the addition of the Interpretive Space adjacent to the memorial, could not be fully appreciated until they were shown on the new model and explained by Mr. Arad and Mr. Walker, the LMDC, and the Governor. Linked below is a recent editorial from the NY Times that provides a description of the changes and the remaining issues we must focus on. These issues include the details of how many of the proposed changes are actually incorporated into the memorial design, the design of the interpretive space, the workings of the foundation, and the coordination of the memorial with the rest of the rebuilding plan. FOS11 will remain an active participant in this process and welcomes your thoughts and comments about the memorial. Email us at http://www.familiesofseptember11.org.

September 11th Independent Commission
We urge everyone who feels strongly about ensuring our loved ones' lives were not taken in vain to contact the Commission office at 202-331-4060 (main DC office), (212) 264-1505 (Family Liaison office in NYC), or to email at http://firstname.lastname@example.com or http://email@example.com. If the Commission members do not hear from us, it is possible they will cancel the remaining public hearings (something Families of September 11 thinks would seriously hinder the Commission and the public from getting vital information), and will not have enough time to create a full and complete report. Your help is needed to protect the future safety of all Americans.
Update on the Hamburg Mzoudi Trial
After the court appearance of the Director of the German CIA and an official of the German FBI, the judge declared that statements made by inner circle leaders in the Hamburg cell did not specifically inculpate Mzoudi. The Court then released Mzoudi from custody, although the witnesses did not exonerate the defendant.
During the closing statements of all parties, the Federal Prosecutor surprised the Court by submitting the written testimony of a former Iranian Intelligence agent who had defected first to the US Embassy in Baku in July 2001. When he could not collect the financial compensation he claimed was due to him by the CIA, he re-defected to France. This defector alleges to have warned the US about an impending major terrorist attack on September 11, 2001, without mentioning any specific location or cause.
At the present, the defector has suddenly offered himself to the German Prosecutors as a witness - on the basis of a fuzzy e-mail he had allegedly received from a former colleague in Iran warning him that a freed Mzoudi was in danger of being assassinated by his former terrorist friends. The Court has ordered the Federal Prosecutor to produce this witness at its next session in order to consider the authenticity of those statements.

Clark blasts Tornados to split with Crimson Hawks, 14-8 and 7-6March 13, 2012
Litaker picks up first win of the season in relief for Brevard
Brevard, N.C. - Kramer Clark drove in five runs in the first game of the doubleheader as the Tornados topped the visiting Crimson Hawks on Tuesday afternoon at Gil Coan Field, but Indiana University of Pennsylvania rallied behind back-to-back RBI singles by Dylan Songer and Aaron Lupia in the nightcap as Brevard and IUP split the doubleheader 14-8 and 7-6.
Brevard moves to 14-11 on the season, while IUP moves to 6-7-1 in the 2012 campaign.
Game One: Brevard 14, IUP 8
Box Score
Clark and Cody Queen combined to drive in eight runs and five different Tornados crossed the plate multiple times, while Alex Litaker (1-0) pitched 3.1 innings of scoreless relief as Brevard overcame a pair of solo home runs by the Crimson Hawks in the first inning to give the Tornados the victory.
Robbie Zinsmeister and Songer hit solo home runs in the top of the first inning of BC starter Zach Huneycutt to open the scoring, but Brevard answered with six runs in the bottom half of the frame to take the early lead in the contest.
Queen drilled a two-run single in the inning, scoring Tarron Robinson and Zach Merriken before Clark cleared the bases with a three-run blast to put Brevard up. Chad Funkhouser added a run scoring single in the inning to give Brevard the 6-2 lead in the first.
Zinsmeister continued to have the hot stick early in the contest, drilling a two-run double for the Crimson Hawks in the second frame and he came around to score on a BC error to cut the Brevard lead back to within one run.
IUP rallied to take the lead in the top of the fourth as Songer brought in a run after getting hit by a pitch with the bases loaded, bringing Litaker into the contest for the Tornados in relief of Thomas Gill. Two more runs crossed the plate in the frame as Lupia and Troy Foster came around to score to put IUP up 8-6.
The lead was short-lived however, as the Tornados rallied back with eight runs in the bottom half of the inning as Brevard sent 12 batters to the plate in the frame with Clark and Champ Stuart providing the majority of the damage in the inning driving in two runs apiece with Clark doubling in Queen and Funkhouser, while Stuart brought home Bennett Hixson and Randy O'Dell. Robinson also drove in a pair of runs in the inning with a single and a sacrifice fly as Brevard went up 14-8.
Litaker closed out the game, going the rest of the distance for Brevard as the Crimson Hawks were unable to push across another run in the contest as the Tornados took the win in the first game.
Game Two: IUP 7, Brevard 6
Box Score
Christian Christopoulos went a perfect 3-for-3 from the plate to lead the Brevard offense as the Tornados placed runners in scoring position in the seventh inning in an effort to send the game into extra innings, but Austin Mock closed out the win for the Hawks, recording his second save of the season as IUP recorded the split with the Tornados.
The Crimson Hawks again opened the scoring in the first inning as Songer doubled in Zinsmeister off BC starter Tyler Lequire, but the Tornados regained the lead in the bottom half of the inning as Robinson doubled in Stuart and Funkhouser scored Robinson with a base hit to give the Tornados the 2-1 lead.
Queen drove in the third run of the contest for Brevard in the bottom of the third after Funkhouser opened the frame with a double and recorded the rare steal of third base. Renegar brought in Clark with a sacrifice fly later in the inning to give BC the 4-1 lead after three innings of play.
IUP retook the lead in the fourth inning as Brett Quiggle opened the scoring with an RBI double to left center scoring Lupia, while Mike Lupia tied the game up in the inning with a two-run single through the left side of the infield to knot the game at 4 apiece. Foster put the Crimson Hawks ahead with a two-out RBI single, scoring Zinsmeister to put IUP up 5-4.
Brevard answered in the fifth frame, going back up 6-5 helped in part by a pair of IUP errors on the same play. Christopoulos reached on a one-out single up the middle, sending Armacost to the plate, and the senior centerfielder dropped down a bunt in the infield. The throw to first sailed down the first baseline, and the relay home attempting to catch Christopoulos went into the fence near the BC dugout as both players rounded the bases to give the Tornados the advantage.
IUP rallied back to retake the lead for the final time in the next half inning as Songer singled in Zinsmeister and Aaron Lupia followed with the go-ahead RBI single, scoring Mike Lupia to give the Crimson Hawks the 7-6 lead.
Brevard threatened in the seventh inning, putting runners on first and second with one out, but Mock escaped the jam with a fly out and game-ending fielder's choice to end the contest.
Brevard remains at home on Wednesday, March 14th, as the Tornados welcome Pfeiffer University to Gil Coan Field. First pitch in the nine-inning contest between the Tornados and the Falcons is set for 3 p.m.

Nick Hagadone & Family visit Mentor school
(Mentor) - Cleveland Indians relief pitcher Nick Hagadone visited kids in Lake County to talk about his life as a professional baseball player.
The lefty from Sandpoint, Idaho spent time with children at Brentmoor Elementary School. Youngsters asked a variety of questions about his work schedule, favorite foods, and his time in college.
Hagadone gave each child an autographed Indians rally cap. The visit was part of an auction held by the Indians Wives Association which has raised $20,000 for charity this season.
Hagadone was accompanied by his wife Pesarakphorn and young daughter Haley.
Principal Pam Hutto says she wanted to demonstrate to her students the value of community and the benefits of working together to achieve success.

DWI arrests reported in Alden, Newstead
A 68-year-old Spencerport woman was arrested for driving while intoxicated by Erie County sheriff's deputies who investigated a minor accident on Cummings Road in Newstead.
Roberta Evans was charged with DWI after a breath test showed her blood alcohol content was .16 percent, twice the legal limit, said Deputy Gene Nati. The accident occurred about 7:40 p.m. Saturday.
In a separate incident, State Police in Clarence charged Sarah Messemer, 22, of Phoenix, N.Y., with DWI late Saturday night after a traffic stop on Wende Road in Alden. Police said Messemer failed a roadside sobriety test and then refused to submit to a breath test.

ZT0801: ZT0801 Manual Titanium Folder by Todd Rexford
Zero Tolerance Knives
All steel and fast opening with a super strong locking system: this is a great knife. Zero Tolerance has produced this Rexford design with the best materials and all American craftsmanship. This is a great knife. The blade opens on ball bearings. The handle has great texture to secure it even when wet. The pocket clip is for deep pocket carry and can be reversed for left handed users. The KnifeCenter is a fan of this product and we encourage you, if you want a knife like this, to pick one up as soon as possible. This is a classic!
More from Zero Tolerance:
Zero Tolerance and custom knifemaker Todd Rexford join forces to produce the Zero Tolerance 0801. It starts with a blade of ELMAX powdered steel. ELMAX enables ZT to produce a blade with a razor edge, excellent edge retention, strength, and toughness. A stonewashed blade finish hides hard-use scratches and makes maintenance easier.
The 0801 handle is lightweight and durable titanium with machined grooves for a secure grip—and a great look. The titanium handle features a secure frame lock that, thanks to the titanium, is extremely strong. The blade deploys using the built-in flipper. Just pull back on the flipper and the razor-sharp ELMAX blade rotates out of the handle on ZT's glass-smooth KVT ball-bearing system. No springs required; just simple, one-handed opening. Easy. The 0801 pocketclip is designed for deep carry and is reversible for left- or right-handed carry. Decorative pivot hardware completes the 0801's handsome look.
If you like the looks of all metal, all the time, the 0801 is the right choice.
- Designed by Todd Rexford
- ELMAX® stainless steel a high chromium-vanadium molybdenum alloyed steel that combines high wear resistance with corrosion resistance; also offers high strength and hardenability
- Opens with flipper and KVT ball-bearing system
- 3D machined titanium front and frame lock
- Blade: ELMAX®, stonewashed finish, 3.5" (8.9 cm)
- Handle: Titanium

- Overall Length: 8.2" (20.8 cm)
- Lock: 3-D Machined Titanium framelock

- Made in USA
Developed by Chris Reeve, it functions like a liner lock but the lock is comprised of one of the handle scales. It's an extremely strong and easy to manipulate lock.
Includes a pocket clip for easy accessibility and a more secure carry.
A nonferrous metal, it's prized for its high strength to weight ratio and is often used on higher end knives.
Extremely fine grained powered metal that strikes the balance between edge holding and corrosion resistance perfectly. Much more likely to get a rolled edge than have a chip develop.
This product is USA born and raised.

Could someone explain to me what this line of code means:
function1(num) ? 13 : 12;
I think it means
if function1(num) = 12 then function1(num) = 12
What is your input?
That code is incomplete because it isn't doing anything with the value so with just that it would be equivalent to
if (function1(num)) 13;
else 12;
In order to actually do something with the numbers you'd need to assign the whole thing to something for example:
x = function1(num) ? 13 : 12;
which is the same as
if (function1(num)) x = 13;
else x = 12;
You could easiy test it for yourself by picking two different values for num where one causes function1() to return true and the other has it return false.
So some values:if function1(num) =13x=12
if function1(num) = 12 x = 12
if function1(num) = 5 x = 5
if function1(num) = 15 x = 15
if function1(num) = n x = n unless n=13 then x=12
This is just ternary operator.
If num is TRUE or 1 assign 13 else assign 12It is the simplified version of if and else.
Just the basic.
It all depends on what is in function1.
If function 1 is defined as:
function1 = function(num) {return isFinite(num);};
would set x to 13 if num contains a finite number and to 12 if it contains infinity or something other than a number.
function1 = function(num) {return false;};
then it would set x to 12 regardless of what is in num.
You haven't showed us your function1() so what num needs to be to return true (and so set a value of 13) and what it needs to be to return false (and set a value of 12) are completely unknown to us.
function1 = function(num) {return 12===num ? true : false;};
would set x to 13 if num is 12 and set x to 12 if num is anything at all except 12.
First understand that the comparison operator is == not =, otherwise you'll soon be back asking another question.
I still don't think you understand:
The statement
evaluates to 13 when function1(num) returns a non-zero value, otherwise 12.
Or more accurately, when function1(num) returns a non-falsy value, then the above code evaluates to 13.If function1(num) is a falsy value (false, undefined, null, NaN, 0, ""), then the above code evaluates to 12.
The question mark is a conditional operator.condition ? expr1 : expr2
You can see that above link for further details.
