|Summary: Statistics Collection Daemon for filling RRD Files
collectd is a small daemon written in C for performance. It reads various system statistics and updates RRD files, creating them if necessary. Since the daemon doesn't need to startup every time it wants to update the files it's very fast and easy on the system. Also, the statistics are very fine grained since the files are updated every 10 seconds.

Use Nautilus (File Manager). Places>Connect to server.
Firefox is also an excellent FTP client, with fireftp addon.
Hey all,
I was wondering if there was any FTP program available for BackTrack 5. Although I probably shouldn't have started wih BackTrack as my first real linux distro I did, so when I downloaded a file it was .tar.gz and I have no idea how to work with that on BackTrack. If there is any FTP native for BackTrack it would be really helpful.
Use Nautilus (File Manager). Places>Connect to server.
Firefox is also an excellent FTP client, with fireftp addon.
a .tar.gz is a compressed archive file you need to untar it with the correct switch's " man tar ". But to be honest if this is your first linux you have worked on i suggest you grab something like ubuntu, read some linux books and mess around before you start playing with backtrack, that is IMO the best solution as it appears you are unfamiliar with linux and should know the basics
a easy gui ftp to start off with would be filezilla... and ubuntu would be a good mix to start off with
I'm a compulsive post editor, you might wanna wait until my post has been online for 5-10 mins before quoting it as it will likely change.
I know I seem harsh in some of my replies. SORRY! But if you're doing something illegal or posting something that seems to be obvious BS I'm going to call you on it.

By Rikki King Herald Writer
LAKE STEVENS — A community march was held Monday night in Lake Stevens in memory of Molly Conley, who was killed in a drive-by shooting here on June 1.
Conley was 15, of Seattle.
March organizers were expecting as many as 200 people, said Tom Thorleifson, a commander with the Lake Stevens American Legion Post 181.
The reward money for tips in the case had reached nearly $9,000 at last count, he said.
The march was organized as a way for people to spend time together as they try to cope with the death, Thorleifson said.
"This is to show support," Thorleifson said. "This is something just to band together."
Meanwhile, Snohomish County sheriff's major crimes detectives are staying tight-lipped about their investigation.
The shooting happened about 11:15 p.m. in the area of South Lake Stevens Road and South Davies Road. Few details have been released. The death marked the first homicide in Lake Stevens in recent years. Local police began working with the sheriff's office almost immediately.
Despite repeated media reports about a black sport utility vehicle somehow being involved, "no vehicle has been identified as associated with this investigation," sheriff's bureau chief Kevin Prentiss said Monday.

AGTS News: AGTS to host special event "Flourishing Churches and Communities: Faith, Work and Economics in Spirit-Empowered Discipleship," January 29
Self, Flourishing Churches from AGTS on Vimeo.
The Assemblies of God Theological Seminary (AGTS) and The Acton Institute for Religion and Liberty present "Flourishing Churches and Communities: Faith, Work and Economics in Spirit-Empowered Discipleship" beginning at Noon on
Tuesday, January 29, 2013 at AGTS (1435 N. Glenstone Ave., Springfield, Mo., 65802).
The public is invited to this free event that will unite Christians in faith and business communities together in strategic conversation. RSVP for the lunch, dinner or both to Susan Meamber (firstname.lastname@example.com, (417) 268-1010).
The economic uncertainty, moral confusion and spiritual hunger of our day call for dialogue among thoughtful people across diverse domains. In the past two decades, there has been intense interest and significant progress in the integration of ethics and economics, business and mission, with clerical and lay leaders finding new places of partnership.
Thoughtful Christian leaders realize that evangelization and church planting/revitalization require fresh strategies as we confront challenges of cultural diversity, religious competition and skepticism and unprecedented social needs. The good news is that biblical faith and the empowerment of the Spirit provide the resources for local churches and communities to flourish as expressions of the kingdom of God. In order to realize this vision, church leaders, along with business, educational, social service and cultural leaders need to engage in serious conversations about issues so important to all of us as followers of Jesus.
The Assemblies of God Theological Seminary is dedicated to educating servant-leaders who are led by the Spirit for today's Church.
The Acton Institute is dedicated to the integration of Judeo-Christian truths with free market principles and supports efforts of Christians from all traditions that enable the advancement of the Mission of God and human flourishing.
The host for this event will be Dr. Charlie Self, the director of the Ph.D. in Bible and Theology and associate professor of church history at AGTS. He is also a senior advisor for the Acton Institute, tasked with mobilizing leaders to deep thought and decisive action. His new book (pictured above), published by Acton, represents a clarion call to Spirit-empowered discipleship that integrates faith, work and economics.
Schedule: (These sessions will be recorded and video posted to the AGTS website after the event.)
Noon–1:30 p.m.: Lunch and Keynote Addresses
2–3:30 p.m.: Panel Discussion, "Toward Integration of Faith, Work and Economics"
5:30–7:30 p.m.: Dinner and Keynote Address
For more information contact Charlie Self (firstname.lastname@example.com, 417-268-1077). To RSVP for the lunch, dinner or both to Susan Meamber (firstname.lastname@example.com, (417) 268-1010).

Hi, welcome to the forums.
In the future please read the FAQs before posting.
This is the link to installing Backtrack to a USB drive with persistent changes from the HOWTO: Backtrack 4 – USB/Persistent Changes/Nessus
Hi guys,
My only OS is Ubuntu 10.04. There are no partitions ( that is, I use the entire hard drive for Ubuntu, obviously). I need to run Backtrack for security testing.
I've seen lots of various options from running it in virtualbox to running it from a bootable USB but there seem to be problems originating with the grub bootloader. One thing I keep seeing is that the only way to get round all this is to hard drive install Backtrack first and THEN install Ubuntu. Clearly I don't want to have to reinstall my entire world on my pc, play with settings, re-install a billion apps etc.
My question is this - Given that I have 10.04 installed and running alone, how do I get Backtrack installed/running easily and without all the associated disasters?
Did you achieve this without problems? How did you do it? What do I need to do?
I like the USB option because the thought of screwing the grub up does not appeal; I don't want to reboot my computer and be told "Sorry - I'm grub and I don't want you to load anything" / Other Annoying Message.
Backtrack's site says they didn't provide a USB option so what should I use to burn the ISO (does Unetbootin work for Ubuntu??!?!?!
If you've done what I need to do I'd really appreciate your advice.

"If you havent trashed your computer while doing something questionable, then youre not a computer scientist youre just an arts grad who didnt get laid."
If the time stamp for my post is less than 15 minutes old, hold off on the flamethrower, there's a pretty decent chance I'm going to change it.
I've got 10.04 and backtrack dual booting on the same box. Easiest way is to change your Ubuntu partition size so you have room for backtrack. Then install backtrack as you normally would BUT when it comes to the boot loader part, hit advanced and tell it to install grub to the new partition you used for backtrack. Yes, you will have two boot loaders now, but that's okay. Now fire up Ubuntu, and open a terminal and type "update-grub" (no quotes). This will search your computer for other operating systems and add them to your grub.cfg.
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

Small, versatile, and sustainable with strong indoor-outdoor ties. These were the goals Tom Lenchek, AIA, had in mind for his own vacation home in the Cascade Mountains. The lone bathroom in this 1,400-square-foot cabin is a microcosm of those ambitions. "Having this be the only bath in the house was a decision we struggled with because we often have guests," says Lenchek, principal of Seattle-based Balance Associates. "But breaking out of our regular living patterns was an important concept for the entire house." And he made sure this singular sensation suited a variety of needs with its open shower, soaking tub, double vanity, and sauna for two.
Outside the glass double doors is an additional rudimentary bathing area—just a showerhead and utility sink enclosed within a courtyard. Its walls of board-formed, cast-in-place concrete were left rough for a textural, low-maintenance finish. The same material makes up the walls of the indoor shower, and concrete flooring warmed by radiant heat stretches inside and out. A 10-inch-thick hunk of ponderosa pine cut from a standing dead tree forms the 6-foot-long-by-2-foot-deep vanity. There was even enough left over to make a step for the bathtub and several pieces of furniture for the house. Pine boards for the exterior cladding were also reclaimed, from a water flume in a nearby valley. "Location-driven materials make sense both for sustainability and vernacular reasons," Lenchek says.

That's 3 fights now that Henderson has got the win when I've scored him to lose.
That's 3 fights now that Henderson has got the win when I've scored him to lose.
I had Gilbert taking Rounds 1 & 5 for sure, the middle three though were so close that I can't complain if the result had gone either way.
Still stunned at what Josh did to Nate though, great way for him to return to the UFC
I was glad Thomson won in such fashion, I can't stand the fucking Diaz brothers. Made me smile a hell of a lot.
I love both Nate and Nick. True fighters. Thompson was the better man Saturday night, much better movement, footwork etc, etc. Nate will be back, just not at welterweight hopefully.
Full card, first prelim to main event was fantastic!! Hopefully last years 'bad luck' is gone, and most UFC events this year are like this!

Is it okay to fold my winter suit and put it way like that for the summer or would it be better to hang it?
Printable View
Is it okay to fold my winter suit and put it way like that for the summer or would it be better to hang it?
Will the crease over time weaken or thin the rubber?
lay it flat under ur bed. hanging it may stretch out the shoulders if its a 4/3 or thinner even if its a wide hanger
If you're going to fold it, try and put something cylindrical in the fold to prevent creasing (i.e. fold it over a piece of pipe insulation or something). If you're going to hang it, hang it on a wide hanger across the middle (like you would hang dress pants).
I would imagine a crease would weaken the rubber over time, especially if it's being stored like that for long periods.
so just wadding it up and tossing it in the corner is a bad idea? hmmm. at least I rinsed it after last spring.
I always keep all my suits hanging in a closet 24/7.
I have a secret basement lair like batman where I keep all 39 of my wetsuits on proper hangers. I hang them after I pee in them.

Hi everyone... need honest opinions here. My in laws are pretty nice and reasonable people overall but for I keep finding myself annoyed by them. According to DH (dear husband) they love me and are "saints" but this doesn't help. Of note I do have another MIL (mother-in-law) (DH's biological mom) who is psycho but DH (dear husband) and I have been ignoring her.
Why do I get annoyed with the nice ILs? This hurts DH (dear husband) because he doesn't like to hear me complain about them. I guess over time multiple incidents have built up. They wanted me to take DH's last name (including using it professionally) and didn't want him to sign prenup agreement. When dealing with serious infertility issues, they offered advice to DH (dear husband) like "try doing it from behind" and offered advice to me like vitamins, relaxation, etc. They always tell me not to worry (trying to be nice I guess) but it just makes me feel like they don't know what they are talking about.
When twins were born they didn't help that much, but when they came over they got annoyed at me for giving them directions on what to do. (Sorry but refluxing twin preemies are a bit different than full term infants). They only told DH. They only fed them 4 oz formula in 8 hrs one time when they were about 3 months old... which kind of shows how little they know.
When DH (dear husband) and I have disagreements (i.e. he makes extremely poor investment) they will take his side. When DH (dear husband) got caught texting another woman he was upset, so he went over to their place for solace and they refused to let him send a photo to me to prove that he was not somewhere else. To me that says they side with him and don't want him to give me an inch. DH said it just meant they did not want photos of their home on the internet (which makes no sense at all since he posts their home photos to FB all the time).
I have tolerated all of their family traditions since the beginning and have been civil but behind their backs I find things to complain about to DH.
He seems to want to take time away from me and kids to visit them a lot. They don't come here that often and don't help much (my parents helped a LOT). He always says it's because they are older and live "far" but I am not really buying it, they still go to gym and drive. I know I probably should not expect them to help or anything but I can't help feeling annoyed.
Lastly since DH (dear husband) has gone to them for advice regarding his texting affair, they have not said anything to me about it at all, acting as if it never happened. Should they say anything? I just feel like they treat me not as family in some ways because family would not feel the discomfort of needing to keep silent. I think they should offer some sort of condolences or at least acknowledge to my face? DH says they are just being sensitive but I think if they were they'd acknowledge that their son did me wrong?
Maybe I am living in fantasy land and I should expect nothing from them and I should not feel bitter at all about anything? I do tend to keep grudges.

Or down. Or left. Or right.
Yep, that's what you can do with a few quick keystrokes in MS Excel. That is, if you know the "magic" combination.
Okay, so it's not exactly magic, but it still could be a pretty useful skill and worth a look.
If you've ever had a cell selected in MS Excel and wanted to quickly highlight everything above, below, to the left or to the right of the current cell, this tip's for you.
Here's the deal:
The Ctrl + Shift + Arrow keys will complete a quick highlight faster than you could ever hope to find.
Excel will highlight in the direction your arrow key designated, until it reaches the edge of the data range that the current cell is in.
Need to go further?
No problem! Just keep hitting the arrow key until the highlight has extended as far as you need it. (Keep in mind that it's moving one range at a time and could make large jumps through the worksheet, depending upon the data location).
Need a block of cells highlighted?
I've got that one covered too.
Complete a highlight in the left or right direction and then immediately repeat the process in the up or down direction. You'll then have an entire range of data highlighted in a matter of seconds!
There you have it. Just one more keyboard shortcut to add to your ever growing list of Excel timesavers. Yes!

11 Besides this, you know what time it is, how it is now the moment for you to wake from sleep. For salvation is nearer to us now than when we became believers;
12the night is far gone, the day is near. Let us then lay aside the works of darkness and put on the armour of light;
13let us live honourably as in the day, not in revelling and drunkenness, not in debauchery and licentiousness, not in quarrelling and jealousy.
14Instead, put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh, to gratify its desires.

Talk about the novels, new and used books that Rand has written!
Author Rand's Book Reviews
This book depicts a collectivist society, where every part of every person's life is regulated. This society shuns individuality, and the mottos include: "We are one in all and all in one. There are no men but only the great WE, One, indivisible and forever." and "We are nothing. Mankind is all...We exist through, by and for our brothers who are the State." Everyone in this society refers to his or herself as "we" because the word used to refer ...
Atlas Shrugged
There are many different themes in this book. Most notable are the tones of capitalism vs. communism and the the producers in society vs. those who mooch off of the government. Dagny Taggart is the female protagonist. This is a story about one person's fight against government corruption and greed. As an executive for one of the biggest railroads in the country run by her brother, she is frustrated by the lack of production from other workers unti...
The Fountainhead
Howard Roark is a man with extraordinary vision. His creative genius, however, is supressed by the restraints of society and the accepted "norms" of life. The main philosophical question the novel presents is whether to work to fulfill self-desires, or to work for the greater good, or the good of others. The argument Rand makes, is that ultimately, unless you work to fulfill your own desires, all achievement will fall short and no one will benefit. ...
We the Living
The story is about a young Russian woman named Kira Argounova who struggles to keep her freedom of thought during and after the Russian Revolution of 1917. Kira Argounova and her family are returning to Petrograd after five years of exile in Crimea due to the Russian Revolution. Kira's father was a very wealthy man before the revolution. He owned some textile factories and a big mansion in the city. Returning to Petrograd means that they have to adapt to...

Another happy PCD customer - some notes on the experience with pics!
Well, where to start.
First off, for anyone reading this and on the fence about doing PCD --- just do it. At least once. It's well worth it and the experience you will have plus the trip back will never be forgotten.
I figured I'll post some of the highlights and not-so-highlights (there was only one) and share my experience as others have. I found these types of threads useful when making my own plans and decisions, so I hope this will be helpful and useful to someone out there in the future.
Since I have small kids, my wife and I decided it would be too much hassle to take the whole family and a babysitter so she can enjoy PCD with me, and leaving kids for 3 days at home was not an option. So I opted to take my buddy with me and it ended up working out as instead of flying, I drove my SLK which was at lease-end and returned it in Greenville after I got the BMW.
The PCD Experience
A big thanks to all who work at the PCD for putting this on for us, especially the instructors. Also a big thanks to the tour guides at the Spartanburg plant. Everyone was really extremely nice and friendly, and happy to answer questions, of which I had quite a few.
Basically, the schedule was something like this. They split everyone into two groups and some people get their cars and do the factory tour and the off-road course first, others (me included) do something like the following:
The Track
We got to do the driving portion first half of the day, which was lots of fun. They seem to split up the X vehicles into one group and the sedans/coupes into another. Our group included (I believe) 3 X3's and our X6M.
Our X6M kept catching up to the X3's in front of us. On every lap I got called into the pit lane so I can get around the car ahead of me and have a clear track... needless to say we kept catching the next car rather quickly and had to go through pit lane again on each next lap! That was fun. This thing is a beast.
It was raining the whole time and the track was wet, which means we got to test the cars in adverse conditions - a real confidence boost, to be sure. We drove through rain and snow and even ice on the way from PCD into North Carolina, so the PCD exercises definitely helped.
As the day went on I noticed some of the other drivers who weren't initially as comfortable starting to step on it more in their X3's - that was fun to see as people loosened up and got more comfortable.
We got to slide some 3-series around and spin out, then test the traction control and see how much it can help. It's not magic and wont' drive the car for you, but it definitely keeps the car from completely spinning out when you step on it - you have to be deliberate to get the car to lose it with DSC enabled, and that was on a completely wet surface. Pretty amazing.
Braking exercise was great too as you can really hammer the brakes (they encourage this) and see just how fast your car can stop.
No words for the M5 hot-lap. Just do it. Don't do it after lunch --- that car is a BEAST and sounds incredible at revs... anyone who says the new M5's, M6's and X///M's don't sound good need to hear them at 4,000-6,000 RPM's in their full glory! The guys who work as instructors are all former or current racers and they know how to drive - you won't be disappointed with this!
X3 Factory Tour
Not sure about you but I've never been inside a production facility before. I've seen pictures but it's really cool to walk around and see them build an X3. All of the engineering, software, robotics, and logistics which is involved is mind-boggling. Definitely a highlight of the experience.
X5 off-road course
Highly recommend this even if you're not buying an X car. It's really crazy what these cars can do - from driving on a bank, to being on 3 wheels going over a rock hill, to treading 22" of water - this is the stuff you think only Range Rovers and H1 Hummers can do. While there's no comparison of off-road abilities of an X5 to an H1 Hummer, it's nonetheless impressive.
It was even more impressive that they let us (i.e., anyone) drive the X5's through the course, basically saying anyone can do it. This was showing off the xDrive system and it was nice for me to know (I asked) that they do sometimes use X6's in a pinch and the X6 can handle and do everything the X5 does, even though it's not marketed that way.
The moment I've been waiting for since late November last year - time to meet my new baby! My car was in one of the several "office-garage" areas that have access from inside the facility to walk in, do paperwork, etc., and then a double door for the car to drive out. Very classy and it was an experience to walk in and see my car, shiny and new, sitting in an office-like space waiting for me to drive off.
Note that there are only a few of these spaces, I saw only 2 of them but there may be more. That means only a few cars per day will get to sit in one of these. The other one had an M3 in it, so I am guessing these are reserved for M cars and/or the more high end models.
Since I've owned an X6 before, we skipped the rudimentary stuff, went over some of the cameras and USB/sound things, and of course, the M buttons and controls. It really didn't take much time, and I had time left over to take some pictures.
We were out of there at around 2:30pm or so after spending 45 minutes doing photos.
All in all, an awesome experience that I would recommend to anybody.
Zentrum Museum
We had time on our hands, so after taking delivery and dropping off the SLK at the MB dealer, we went back to the Zentrum Museum. If you come there with your new BMW you can park on the sidewalk, which is pretty cool. The museum currently has an art car in there, lots of F1 stuff, motorcycles, BMW airplane engines, and more - really well done and absolutely worth a visit even if you only spend an hour.
Road Trip home!!!
The final and most exciting part of the PCD experience is ..... the drive home!!! Went through all sorts of conditions and mountain roads to Asheville, NC, then Robbinsville, NC, the Tail of the Dragon into Tennessee, and various local routes and interstates home to South Florida. I had 1148 miles on the clock when I got in, just enough to go out and celebrate the next night and complete my 1200 miles break-in period - which I did this morning.
I couldn't think of a better way to bring my new baby into this world and get the break-in all done at the same time.
Thanks for reading --
P.S. The non-highlight? The only one I can say, and it's been said nicely before... there's really no way around this but the food at the Greenville Marriott is horrible. Not sure if it's the BMW menu only but other than the salad, both my meal and my buddy's meals just weren't great at all. No worries. We had some great bison burger once we got into Asheville that made up for it!

Glad you enjoyed PCD. The only thing better is do ED before you do PCD.
Sorry you didn't like your dinner. What did you have? My filet was excellent.
ED is definitely next on the list. Of course, can't do ED with any X vehicle other than X1 currently, so this time around PCD was the only option.
On the food, I'm sure it's subjective. I had the Shrimp and Grits - had it before, in Savannah, and this was nothing close. I don't remember what my buddy had. Glad you liked your filet. Maybe we caught the place on a bad day?
Concur with your experience - picked up my 2013 X5 there and drove it home to Maryland. My son drove up from college in Athens, Georgia and met me for the PCD (he has an older X3) and we both had a great time. Besides being impressed with the X5 we drove off-road, I was equally impressed by the professionalism and enthusiasm of the staff. I have encouraged all my friends who are getting BMWs to to the PCD experience.

EquuSearch Mounted Search and Recovery Team, a nonprofit organization started in North Galveston County in 2000, arrived Wednesday in New Orleans and began searching Bayou St. John, near the bar where 26-year-old Terrilyn Monette was last seen.
Four people from the organization used sonar equipment, finding several cars on Thursday, but none that belonged to Monette. New Orleans police said customs and state police conducted aerial searches by helicopter in other parts of the city, including Lake Pontchartrain.
"We are receiving tips and they're following up on every one," said New Orleans police Officer Hilal B. Williams. "I don't think anything has panned out yet, but we are receiving them. "
Monette, a Long Beach native, is a Cal State San Bernardino graduate who majored in liberal studies, university spokesman Joe Gutierrez said.
She moved from Long Beach to New Orleans last year to participate in the nonprofit Teach NOLA program, which sends teachers to instruct children in impoverished areas, according to news reports.
Monette went to Parlay's Bar with some acquaintances March 2 and later told them she was going to sleep in her car at the location before driving home.
A witness told detectives he saw Monette in the parking lot about 4 a.m. with an unknown man.
Police requested Equusearch's help to search the lagoons in City Park, a location that is between the bar and Monette's apartment.
Officers suspect the park would have been her most likely path of travel.

SA Listed as Second DRUNKEST City in USA
Fat, drunk, and stupid is no way to go through life, San Antonio.
Just when we get off of Men's Health magazine's list of the country's fattest cities, we land at a solid number two on another Men's Health list...the list of the 100 drunkest cities in the United States.
San Antonio is officially listed as 'over the limit' as the 99th drunkest city in the USA, in a list which rates the soberest city at number 1 and the drunkest at number 100. The study is based on factors ranging from DWI arrests and liver disease rates, rates of binge drinking, and, yes, wrong way drivers.
But Pat Keenaugh with the Bexar County Drug Court, says we're taking serious steps ot get off this list just like we took serious steps to slim down when Men's Health listed San Antonio as one of the fattest cities in the country. She points to the 'no refusal' policy instituted by Bexar County District Attorney Susan Reed, which requires those arrested for DWI to have a blood draw if they refuse a breathalyzer test.
"Whereas some people might have passed a sobriety test, they won't pass this," she said.
Keenaugh says binge drinking remains a very serious problem in San Antonio. She says it's a fine line between happy hour and addiction.
"Listen to the people who are the closest to you, listen to how they're reacting when you're drinking, and that is going to tell you if there's a problem," she said.
"They're telling you that's not okay, that is unacceptable behavior, they are getting angry, and that is something to look at."
Other Texas cities don't fare much better than San Antonio. Austin is also listed as 'over the limit' as the 93rd drunkest city in the USA. Corpus Christi is 89th, El Paso is 84th, and Ft. Worth clocks in as the 74th drunkest city in the USA.
The only city drunker than San Antoino is the blue collar bastion of Bakersfield California.
The most stone cold sober city in the USA? Not surprisingly, it's Salt Lake City.

'Barber replaced Craig Ramsay Dec. 10, with the Flyers 12-12-4 and literally retreating, as per their coach's passive philosophy. Under Barber, they won 31 games and lost 13, finished with 100 points and earned at least one postseason round of home-ice edge. To do that, Barber had to keep his side stable through a trade-deadline circus involving the unsigned Eric Lindros, had to overcome serious injuries to key players and had to have the courage to conclude Brian Boucher's fine 2000 postseason was more a mirage than a miracle.'

The Friars scored 2:35 into the fourth quarter to take the lead for good, as Wright made it 5-4. He pushed the lead to 6-4 just over two and a half minutes later when he scored his third of the game. After the Leopards got back within one on a goal by Galione, Nolan and Olsen added some insurance. Nolan scored with 8:32 left to push the lead to 7-5 and Olsen scored just 47 seconds later to make it 8-5. Bauer scored for the Leopards with 1:49 left to provide the final margin of 8-6.
The Friars return to action on Tuesday, April 5, when they travel to New Haven, Conn., to take on Yale. Faceoff with the Bulldogs is set for 7:00 p.m.

Review Details
A-2 Jacket, Flight Jacket
- Product Review (submitted on July 21, 2010):
I have collected U.S. military flight jackets for nearly 40 years. I've been in search of the 'perfect' A-2 all these years, but was always disappointed with some or all aspects of jackets I purchased from other outlets. I took a chance on your horsehide A-2 based on the color photo in your online catalogue. My search is over. Your horsehide A-2 arrived today and it is perfect. A close inspection shows that the leather is strong but not too heavy and the color is absolutely perfect- a light tan brown (many other companies us a leather dyed so dark that their jackets look black) and the details are first class. The overall stitching is correct, properly spaced on the seams, 3 to 5 stitches per inch. The collar has the extra strip of supporting leather which keeps it standing up. Many other A-2s do not have this reinforcement and after a few years of wear and aging, the collar lies flat and limp. Your hanging loop is not only stitched through the lining and attached to the back of the jacket as it should be, but is boxed stitched as well. The epaulets are cut straight. Many people desire thin epaulets but personally, I like the wider epaulets as long as the spacing between the box stitches allows for a noticeable underneath. I can get 4 fingers underneath. Likewise, your shoulder box stitching does not go outside the edge stitching. The snaps are either original WW2 stock or they are a perfect match. Additionally, your jacket is very reasonably priced. It is nearly $200.00 lower than Eastman's A-2. I rate this as the best A-2 I've owned. Thanks for producing a handsome, true to standard flight jacket. Well done!
cc: I discovered three more points of accuracy in your jacket (I missed them yesterday because I was so exited over the jacket). The extra spacing between the male side of the front zipper and the leather: other companies try to make the zipper look even on both sides, but this results in the male side of the zipper binding; yours is correct. The flaps on the front pockets covered the top squared off stitching on each of the top sides of the pockets. Other manufacturers either do not reinforce the edges or use a triangular stitch (this is okay- mass production of goatskin and steer hide jackets were done this way later in the war, but yours is more authentic). Also, your jacket appears to be veg dyed instead of drum dyed as WW2 jackets were done. I'm looking forward to seeing how this jacket ages and wears as a result. Again, GREAT job, I'm thrilled and can't wait for cold weather.

GOP-led House passes funding bill that cuts Obama's health law
WASHINGTON — The Republican-controlled House of Representatives approved a bill Friday that keeps the government open while removing funding for President Obama's health care law, setting up a showdown with the Democratic-controlled Senate as the clock ticks toward a possible shutdown.
Republican lawmakers, confronting Democrats against the will of several party leaders, say they have the American people behind them, citing polls that show diminishing support for the health law. Polls also show that most Americans would blame Republicans for a shutdown.
The 230-189 vote followed raucous debate over an issue that clearly defines the polarization in Washington over the role of government and the tools lawmakers are willing to use to fight for their philosophies.
"The constitutional conservatives in the House are keeping their word to their constituents and the nation,'' said Representative John Culberson, a Texas Republican, during debate on the House floor. "…to ensure that we've done everything in our power to protect our constituents from the most unpopular piece of legislation ever passed.''
"It's time to free Americans from the shackles of Obamacare,'' said Representative Ted Poe, another Texas Republican, who read from a letter he said was sent by a constituent, who had to send her son to live with relatives because her employer cut back her hours in anticipation of the law's impact.
The eight members of the Massachusetts delegation, all Democrats, unanimously opposed the GOP measure. Nationally, only two Democrats supported the bill while only one Republican opposed it.
Democrats said the bill was a sign that the most conservative faction of the GOP had succeeded in risking a dangerous government shutdown with an agenda to hurt the neediest.
Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, a California Democrat, took to the floor to say the bill is "without a doubt, a measure designed to shut down government.''
"This place is a mess,'' she said. "Let's get our house in order. We are legislators. We have come here to do a job for the American people.''
While Friday's vote was a bold statement, both sides seemed well-aware that it was not the last word.
Representative Sander M. Levin of Michigan, the top Democrat on the tax-writing committee, said the Republican bill would cut insurance for needy children and hurt benefits for the elderly.
"House Republicans will pass this bill. It will sail off to the Senate, surely to return,'' he said. "Then it will be squarely up to the Speaker of this House. Will he act as the captain of the entire House of Representatives or remain a captive of his right-wing Republican mates?''
The $986.3 billion spending bill would fund the government through December 15 at current levels, including the across-the-board cuts imposed earlier this year known as the sequester. Democrats would like to restore those cuts and have said they will definitely not delay or defund Obama's health law, his signature legislative achievement. They are likely to approve a new version of the House's spending bill next week, returning the measure to the House just ahead of the Sept. 30 funding deadline.
Republican lawmakers pushed back against that charge that they were trying to shut down government and insisted that Friday's vote showed they had a plan to prevent that. Instead, they said, they were protecting the economy.
"Americans are tired of seeing their government continuing to spend more and more of their hard earned tax dollars,'' said Majority Leader Eric Cantor, a Virginia Republican. "Let's defund this law now and protect the American people from the economic calamity that we know Obamacare will create.''

Glenn Beck cited two global-warming skeptics -- William M. Gray and Bjorn Lomborg -- to support his doubts that humans are "the ones causing" global warming, and that "even if" humans are causing global warming, there isn't much they can "realistically do about it." But the methodology and results of studies by both Gray and Lomborg have been debunked by the overwhelming majority of environmental scientists.
On the September 21 edition of his CNN Headline News program, Glenn Beck [1] cited two global-warming skeptics -- William M. Gray and Bjørn Lomborg -- to support his doubts that humans are "the ones causing" global warming, and that "even if" humans are causing global warming, there isn't much they can "realistically do about it." But the methodology and results of studies by both Gray [2] and Lomborg [3] have been debunked by the overwhelming majority of environmental scientists, as Media Matters for America has documented.
Beck began his segment on global warming by declaring: "Global warming is real. My issue is whether or not we're the ones causing it, and, even if we are, what can you realistically do about it?" As purported evidence that humans might not be "the ones causing" global warming, Beck cited Gray, professor emeritus of atmospheric science at Colorado State University, whom Beck described as "a respected scientist." But as Media Matters for America has noted [4], a May 28 Washington Post Magazine article [5] by Joel Achenbach reported that Gray's methodology regarding climate change "is increasingly on the fringe" and noted that even global warming skeptics have distanced themselves from Gray. Further, Beck claimed that the "best he [Gray] could do for a media platform ... was a speech at the Larimer County Republican Club breakfast in front of about 50 people." In fact, in addition to the Washington Post Magazine, Gray was also mentioned as recently as September 20 on Fox News' Special Report with Brit Hume and was quoted on CNN's The Situation Room as recently as September 12.
Later in the program, Beck hosted Lomborg, an associate professor of statistics in the Department of Political Science at the University of Aarhus in Denmark, to discuss how U.S. efforts to combat global warming demonstrate that, in Beck's words, "our priorities are all mixed up." Lomborg stated that "[w]e actually had some of the world's top economists" look at how to handle global warming, and that they concluded it would be very costly and "do very little good." Lomborg similarly argued in his book, The Skeptical Environmentalist: Measuring the Real State of the World [6] (Cambridge University Press, 2001), which purported to conduct a "non-partisan evaluation" of environmental data in the hope of offering the public and policymakers a guide for "clear-headed prioritization of resources to tackle real, not imagined, problems," that the concerns of scientists regarding the world's environmental problems -- including global warming -- were universally overblown. Yet as Media Matters documented [7], Scientific American magazine ran a series of articles [8] from four well-known environmental specialists that lambasted [9] Lomborg's book for "egregious distortions," "elementary blunders of quantitative manipulation and presentation that no self-respecting statistician ought to commit," and sections "poorly researched and ... rife with careless mistakes." The Union of Concerned Scientists similarly reported that Lomborg's findings and methodology "fail[] to meet basic standards of credible scientific analysis."
From the September 21 edition of CNN Headline News' Glenn Beck:
BECK: I actually do believe that global warming exists. Did you hear that? Global warming is real. My issue is whether or not we're the ones causing it and, even if we are, what can you realistically do about it?
Now, you know why that probably sounds controversial is because all of the scientists who are out there saying, "Hold on, hold on, wait a second," when it comes to this stuff, their voice is never heard. It's the other side, the fear-mongering side, the "Oh, we're going to burn to death" side that gets the media attention and gets the grant money flowing.
For example, Bill Gray, he's a respected scientist. He's from the -- he's from Colorado State University. He recently said that global warming is due to natural changes in ocean circulation patterns and, that even if he's wrong, there's nothing humans can do to stop it. Unfortunately, the best he could do for a media platform -- you know, I mean, until now -- was a speech at the Larimer County Republican Club breakfast in front of about 50 people.
BECK: Bjørn Lomborg, he is the -- the author of The Skeptical Environmentalist. He was once known as deep-green environmentalist, but now he's switched sides. He believes our priorities are all mixed up. Bjørn, what was it that changed your mind?
LOMBORG: Well, Glenn, I thought everything was going to hell. I thought air pollution was getting worse, that our chemical load was causing explosive cancer rates. Turns out not to be true. And so, of course, you've got to start thinking and rethinking our understanding of the environment, and that applies particularly to climate change.
BECK: Here is one of the things that have convinced me that global warming is happening. I mean, you look at the glaciers, and you see them melting. How do you explain that?
LOMBORG: Well, part of the melting is definitely due to the fact that we're coming out of a little ice age, but you are also seeing at least an extended melt-off, so part of this is probably due to climate change now.
So, as you say, climate change is happening, but the real question we have to ask ourselves is: How much can we do against it? And how much is it going to cost?
We actually had some of the world's top economists look at this, and their answer was it's going to cost $150 billion a year trying to do the Kyoto Protocol, but it will do very little good. It will basically postpone global warming six years in 2100.
