Brevard Falls to Furman in ExhibitionNovember 19, 2012
Greenville, S.C.- The Brevard College Tornados fell 76-53 in an exhibition game with the Furman University Paladins in Timmons Arena on Monday night.
Brevard's frontcourt got into foul trouble early, allowing the Paladins to work the ball into the paint offensively.
Six-foot-nine forward Colin Reddick dropped in 17 points to lead all scorers, hitting 7-of-9 from the floor while pulling down a game-high eight rebounds. The senior also had four assists.
Senior forward Bryant Irwin also scored 15 points for Furman in helping the Paladins outscore Brevard 36-26 in the paint. Furman shot 50 percent (27-54) from the field on the night.
The Tornados fell behind 9-2 to start the game before putting together a 10-2 run to go up 12-11. The Paladins used a 19-5 run to jump in front of BC.
Brevard battled to move within six of Furman on a Gerel Simmons layup with 3:30 left in the first half, but the Paladins closed the first half with nine straight points to go into the break up 15.
BC struggled to make up any ground after halftime and the Paladins were able to extend their lead early in the second half.
Freshman Manzey Miller impressed again for BC, lead the Tornados with 13 points and six rebounds. Dominique Pickett and Miles Leathers also scored in double figures for the Tornados, scoring 12 and 10 points, respectively.
The Tornados return to action as they visit the Radford University Highlanders on Wednesday afternoon.

PICS/VIDEOS: Beyonce & Jay Z Kick Off "On The Run Tour" at Sun Life Stadium
It was a HOT and HUMID night in South Florida last night...
Music's power couple were set to take to the stage at Sun Life stadium at 8pm but it turned out being closer to 10pm when Jay-Z and Beyonce finally came out to a crowd of thousands.
And they did NOT disappoint.
(A lot of people blame officials directing traffic outside the stadium closing down a section of University Dr/ NW 27th Ave- it took many people HOURS to get through traffic!)
They performed a 42-song set, featuring songs from just about every era of their respective careers. Among particular highlight, Beyoncé filling in for Justin Timberlake on "Holy Grail"; Jay's new remix of Beyoncé's "Partition", and a tribute to Michael Jackson during "Love On Top".
Jay also performed several tracks from Watch the Throne, including "Niggas in Paris", "No Church in the Wild", and "Lift Off".
They'll move onto Cincinnati this weekend, and will make another 16 stops before wrapping up with back-to-back nights at the AT&T Park in San Francisco on August 5th and 6th. The tour will also include double stops at the MetLife Stadium near New York and at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena. Jay and Bey are set to take "On The Run" to Europe in the fall as well, starting with two September dates in Paris.

Just before the Lord Jesus Christ ascended to Heaven, forty days after His resurrection from the tomb, He delivered a great commission to His disciples which is to be carried out today by modern day disciples of Christ. His commission entails the preaching of the Gospel (the good news of individual rescue from sin's penalty, deliverance from God's wrath and an eternal acceptance with the Father based upon the imputation of Christ's merit and the value of His shed blood on the cross and subsequent resurrection) both in local contexts and abroad. With that in mind, our aim is to be obedient to that great commission through the various ministries of our church. Partnering with us in this assignment are missionaries who are supported financially by our congregation so they can advance the Gospel in foreign lands and start indigenous local churches that can in turn do the same.
This "Great Commission" is in five parts and is found at the close of each of the first four books of the New Testament (the Gospels) and at the beginning of the fifth book (The Acts of the Apostles - an inspired account of the first thirty-two years of early church history). As a complete unit, Christ specifies the responsibility and privilege of His disciples individually and then corporately as they work together in a local church context.
• Matthew 28:18-20 presents their assignment—make disciples of all nations for the Lord Jesus Christ. Their aim is not the number of decisions that can be obtained or decision cards that can be filled out, but disciples made. In reality then, an evangelistic thrust satisfies only 1/3 of this commission and is not to be construed as the total fulfillment of it.
• Mark 16:15 presents the scope of their commission—preach the gospel throughout the world. Everyone should be given an opportunity to respond to the message of salvation.
• Luke 24:46-48 declares the message they are to deliver—repentance and faith in Christ alone for the remission of sins.
• John 20:21-23 instructs them regarding the authority for their declaration—the King of Kings has personally commissioned them as His official ambassadors to herald His message.
• Acts 1:8 assures them of the power available to carry out the assignment the Lord Jesus has given as they seek to proclaim the truth regarding the person and work of Christ.
In addition to having local outreaches and foreign missionaries, our vision includes the incorporation of short-term mission trips and missionary conferences designed to encourage a burden for missionary enterprise and to give church members first-hand experiences of what life is like on the field as they work alongside our missionaries whether across this country or overseas.

The response object is the logical counterpart to the request object. Its purpose is to collate content and/or headers so that they may be returned en masse. Additionally, the front controller will pass any caught exceptions to the response object, allowing the developer to gracefully handle exceptions. This functionality may be overridden by setting Zend_Controller_Front::throwExceptions(true):
To send the response output, including headers, use sendResponse().
By default, the front controller calls sendResponse() when it has finished dispatching the request; typically you will never need to call it. However, if you wish to manipulate the response or use it in testing, you can override this behaviour by setting the returnResponse flag with Zend_Controller_Front::returnResponse(true):$front->returnResponse(true); $response = $front->dispatch(); // do some more processing, such as logging... // and then send the output: $response->sendResponse();
Developers should make use of the response object in their action controllers. Instead of directly rendering output and sending headers, push them to the response object:
// Within an action controller action: // Set a header $this->getResponse() ->setHeader('Content-Type', 'text/html') ->appendBody($content);
By doing this, all headers get sent at once, just prior to displaying the content.
If using the action controller view integration, you do not need to set the rendered view script content in the response object, as Zend_Controller_Action::render() does this by default.
Should an exception occur in an application, check the response object's isException() flag, and retrieve the exception using getException(). Additionally, one may create custom response objects that redirect to error pages, log exception messages, do pretty formatting of exception messages (for development environments), etc.
You may retrieve the response object following the front controller dispatch(), or request the front controller to return the response object instead of rendering output.
// retrieve post-dispatch: $front->dispatch(); $response = $front->getResponse(); if ($response->isException()) { // log, mail, etc... } // Or, have the front controller dispatch() process return it $front->returnResponse(true); $response = $front->dispatch(); // do some processing... // finally, echo the response $response->sendResponse();
By default, exception messages are not displayed. This behaviour may be overridden by calling renderExceptions(), or enabling the front controller to throwExceptions(), as shown above:
$response->renderExceptions(true); $front->dispatch($request, $response); // or: $front->returnResponse(true); $response = $front->dispatch(); $response->renderExceptions(); $response->sendResponse(); // or: $front->throwExceptions(true); $front->dispatch();
As stated previously, one aspect of the response object's duties is to collect and emit HTTP response headers. A variety of methods exist for this:
canSendHeaders() is used to determine if headers have already been sent. It takes an optional flag indicating whether or not to throw an exception if headers have already been sent. This can be overridden by setting the property headersSentThrowsException to FALSE.
setHeader($name, $value, $replace = false) is used to set an individual header. By default, it does not replace existing headers of the same name in the object; however, setting $replace to TRUE will force it to do so.
Before setting the header, it checks with canSendHeaders() to see if this operation is allowed at this point, and requests that an exception be thrown.
setRedirect($url, $code = 302) sets an HTTP Location header for a redirect. If an HTTP status code has been provided, it will use that status code.
Internally, it calls setHeader() with the $replace flag on to ensure only one such header is ever sent.
getHeaders() returns an array of all headers. Each array element is an array with the keys 'name' and 'value'.
clearHeaders() clears all registered headers.
setRawHeader() can be used to set headers that are not key and value pairs, such as an HTTP status header.
getRawHeaders() returns any registered raw headers.
clearRawHeaders() clears any registered raw headers.
clearAllHeaders() clears both regular key and value headers as well as raw headers.
In addition to the above methods, there are accessors for setting and retrieving the HTTP response code for the current request, setHttpResponseCode() and getHttpResponseCode().
The response object has support for "named segments". This allows you to segregate body content into different segments and order those segments so output is returned in a specific order. Internally, body content is saved as an array, and the various accessor methods can be used to indicate placement and names within that array.
As an example, you could use a preDispatch() hook to add a header to the response object, then have the action controller add body content, and a postDispatch() hook add a footer:
// Assume that this plugin class is registered with the front controller class MyPlugin extends Zend_Controller_Plugin_Abstract { public function preDispatch(Zend_Controller_Request_Abstract $request) { $response = $this->getResponse(); $view = new Zend_View(); $view->setBasePath('../views/scripts'); $response->prepend('header', $view->render('header.phtml')); } public function postDispatch(Zend_Controller_Request_Abstract $request) { $response = $this->getResponse(); $view = new Zend_View(); $view->setBasePath('../views/scripts'); $response->append('footer', $view->render('footer.phtml')); } } // a sample action controller class MyController extends Zend_Controller_Action { public function fooAction() { $this->render(); } }
In the above example, a call to /my/foo will cause the final body content of the response object to have the following structure:
array( 'header' => ..., // header content 'default' => ..., // body content from MyController::fooAction() 'footer' => ... // footer content );
When this is rendered, it will render in the order in which elements are arranged in the array.
A variety of methods can be used to manipulate the named segments:
setBody() and appendBody() both allow you to pass a second value, $name, indicating a named segment. In each case, if you provide this, it will overwrite that specific named segment or create it if it does not exist (appending to the array by default). If no named segment is passed to setBody(), it resets the entire body content array. If no named segment is passed to appendBody(), the content is appended to the value in the 'default' name segment.
prepend($name, $content) will create a segment named $name and place it at the beginning of the array. If the segment exists already, it will be removed prior to the operation (i.e., overwritten and replaced).
append($name, $content) will create a segment named $name and place it at the end of the array. If the segment exists already, it will be removed prior to the operation (i.e., overwritten and replaced).
insert($name, $content, $parent = null, $before = false) will create a segment named $name. If provided with a $parent segment, the new segment will be placed either before or after that segment (based on the value of $before) in the array. If the segment exists already, it will be removed prior to the operation (i.e., overwritten and replaced).
clearBody($name = null) will remove a single named segment if a $name is provided (and the entire array otherwise).
getBody($spec = false) can be used to retrieve a single array segment if $spec is the name of a named segment. If $spec is FALSE, it returns a string formed by concatenating all named segments in order. If $spec is TRUE, it returns the body content array.
As mentioned earlier, by default, exceptions caught during dispatch are registered with the response object. Exceptions are registered in a stack, which allows you to keep all exceptions thrown -- application exceptions, dispatch exceptions, plugin exceptions, etc. Should you wish to check for particular exceptions or to log exceptions, you'll want to use the response object's exception API:
setException(Exception $e) allows you to register an exception.
isException() will tell you if an exception has been registered.
getException() returns the entire exception stack.
hasExceptionOfType($type) allows you to determine if an exception of a particular class is in the stack.
hasExceptionOfMessage($message) allows you to determine if an exception with a specific message is in the stack.
hasExceptionOfCode($code) allows you to determine if an exception with a specific code is in the stack.
getExceptionByType($type) allows you to retrieve all exceptions of a specific class from the stack. It will return FALSE if none are found, and an array of exceptions otherwise.
getExceptionByMessage($message) allows you to retrieve all exceptions with a specific message from the stack. It will return FALSE if none are found, and an array of exceptions otherwise.
getExceptionByCode($code) allows you to retrieve all exceptions with a specific code from the stack. It will return FALSE if none are found, and an array of exceptions otherwise.
renderExceptions($flag) allows you to set a flag indicating whether or not exceptions should be emitted when the response is sent.
The purpose of the response object is to collect headers and content from the various actions and plugins and return them to the client; secondarily, it also collects any errors (exceptions) that occur in order to process them, return them, or hide them from the end user.
The base response class is
Zend_Controller_Response_Abstract, and any subclass you
create should extend that class or one of its derivatives. The
various methods available have been listed in the previous sections.
Reasons to subclass the response object include modifying how output is returned based on the request environment (e.g., not sending headers for CLI or PHP-GTK requests), adding functionality to return a final view based on content stored in named segments, etc.

Hey guys,
I know this topic is discussed all the time - i've gone through many of the old threads but cant seem to come to a conclusion.
Im running airodump and then aireplay but cant seem to get handshake. Aireplay does send the DeAuth properly.
My first attempt to do the whole WPA2 crack I did it successfully. I captured the handshake and then cracked it - all following xploitx's tutorial. Ever since though I cant seem to get another handshake. What could have gone wrong?
I heard range can effect it - i have tried moving a round a bit, no real success(I can pick up internet from where I sit normally so it should work).
airodump has been running for about 7 minutes so far - hasnt picked up any client connections either...hmm?
Oh and yes - this is my own private network I am testing it on. Running BT3 on a dell 600m. Network is WPA2.
What could it be?
Thanks in advance

Los Angeles Times
LOS ANGELES — Citing recent evidence that HIV infections are best managed when treated early, an influential panel of medical experts has finalized its recommendation that all people ages 15 to 65 be screened for the virus that causes AIDS.
The recommendation from the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force seeks to address one of the key challenges in the fight against HIV/AIDS: The window during which patients respond best to treatment is also the time when symptoms of the disease are least noticeable.
"HIV is a critical public health problem, and there are still 50,000 new infections per year," said Dr. Doug Owens, a task force member and professor of medicine at Stanford University. "There's very good evidence that treatment is effective when given earlier, at a time when people are often asymptomatic. So the only way they would know that they had HIV, or that they needed treatment, is to be screened."
The guideline is being released after a number of well-publicized cases in which early treatment with a combination of powerful antiretroviral drugs has greatly improved patient survival rates. In one of those instances, doctors reported in March that an infant in Mississippi who began aggressive drug treatment immediately after birth had been "functionally cured" of HIV.
The new statement, published online Monday on the task force's website and by the Annals of Internal Medicine, is a departure from the more cautious recommendation the task force made in 2005. It brings the advisory panel into alignment with other prominent medical groups that recommend routine, voluntary HIV screening of adolescents and adults. Those organizations include the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the American College of Physicians, the Infectious Disease Society of America and the American Congress of Obstetricians and Gynecologists.
"We hope that now, with all groups recommending really similar things, the message will get out," Owens said.
HIV is a retrovirus that attacks the cells that work to protect the body from disease, and it can take years or even decades for serious symptoms to appear. The virus is most commonly transmitted through blood and semen; intravenous drug users and men who have sex with men are considered to be at highest risk of infection. Other risk groups include people who have unprotected vaginal or anal intercourse and those who have sex with a partner who is either HIV-positive, bisexual, an injection drug user or who exchanges sex for drugs or money.
Until now, the task force had recommended HIV screening only for people in these risk groups and for pregnant women. When formulating their earlier guidance, task force members expressed concern that widespread testing might result in false-positive results or cause depression and social stigma among those who learned they were infected. Panel members also said that long-term treatment could result in harmful side effects, such as cardiovascular disease.
Based on a review of more recent data – including evidence that as many as 25 percent of people who carry HIV in the U.S. have no idea they are infected – task force members concluded that early detection would "result in substantial public health benefits" that outweighed any risks of widespread screening.
The task force "found convincing evidence that conventional and rapid HIV antibody tests are highly accurate in diagnosing HIV infection," wrote Dr. Virginia Moyer, a pediatrician and task force chairwoman. "Although long-term use of certain antiretroviral drugs may be associated with increased risk for cardiovascular and other adverse events, the magnitude of risk seems to be small."
This latest recommendation urges that everyone 15 to 65 undergo a one-time screening. Individuals in risk groups who are older or younger should undergo screening as well.
Also, women should be tested during each pregnancy, the task force says.
The task force recommended annual screenings – at the very least – for people in known risk groups.
"The question is, 'Do you have ongoing risk, like new sexual partners?' " Owens said. "If you do, then it makes sense to screen periodically."
Patients should also be offered the opportunity to ask questions and to decline testing, the panel wrote.

Media: When Dems use budget process to pass bills, it's the "nuclear option"
Research ››› ››› LILY YAN
In recent days, media figures repeatedly referred to the Senate Democrats' possible use of reconciliation to pass health care reform with a simple majority as the "nuclear option," with Fox News going so far as to run graphics defining "nuclear option" as "[f]orcing government-run insurance through the Senate with just 51 votes." In fact, the term "nuclear option" was coined by then-Republican Sen. Trent Lott in 2005 to refer to a possible Republican attempt to change Senate filibuster rules, while the budget process, known as reconciliation, is already part of Senate procedure, and Republicans have used it repeatedly in the past.
Fox defines "nuclear option" as "[f]orcing government-run insurance through the Senate with just 51 votes"
On August 20 on Fox News' America's Newsroom, co-host Bill Hemmer stated: "Democrats may go it alone on their effort to change America's health care; Democratic congressional leaders now considering a nuclear option to pass the most controversial parts of the reform package."
Fox then displayed the following graphic:
Hemmer continued: "That nuclear option, by the way, means the Democratically controlled Senate can force through government-run insurance with only 51 votes -- a simple majority -- forcing approval of a plan rejected by Republicans, a good number of Democrats, and a growing number of Americans based on polling." Moments later, co-host Megyn Kelly added: "That nuclear option is the first of two very big developments in health care reform this morning." [Fox News' America's Newsroom; 8/20/09]
"Nuclear option" coined to describe the process to change Senate filibuster rules
Lott described proposal to change filibuster rules as nuclear option. The term "nuclear option" was coined by Lott, one of the leading advocates of a proposal to change the Senate rule that requires a three-fifths supermajority to invoke cloture and end a filibuster. After Republican strategists deemed the term a political liability, Republican senators began to attribute it to Democrats. As Media Matters for America noted, at the time, many in the news media followed suit, repeating the Republicans' false attribution of the term to Democrats.
Reconciliation is already part of Senate procedure, and Republicans have used it repeatedly
Reconciliation process is part of congressional budget process. The budget reconciliation process is defined by the U.S. House Committee on Rules as "part of the congressional budget process ... utilized when Congress issues directives to legislate policy changes in mandatory spending (entitlements) or revenue programs (tax laws) to achieve the goals in spending and revenue contemplated by the budget resolution."
Republicans repeatedly used reconciliation to pass former President Bush's agenda. Republicans used the budget reconciliation process to pass Bush's 2001 and 2003 tax cuts as well as the 2005 "Tax Increase Prevention and Reconciliation Act." The Senate also used the procedure to pass a bill containing a provision that would permit oil drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. (The final version of that bill signed by Bush did not contain the provision on drilling.)
Back in May, Wallace prompted Sen. McConnell to declare reconciliation "nuclear option"
Sen. McConnell: Dems "have that option. ... They could pass [health care reform] with a simple majority." Back in May, Fox News Sunday host Chris Wallace prompted Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY) to declare the Democrats' potential use of "a budget plan that allows" health care reform "to be passed by a simple majority" a "nuclear option." Wallace asked: "Is that a nuclear option, if they do that?" McConnell responded, in part: "[T]hey have that option. That's the good news for them. They could pass it with a simple majority."
From the May 17 edition of Fox News Sunday:
WALLACE: Now, there has been talk -- and again, this is not something they're necessarily going to do -- but they have passed a provision that would allow the health care plan to be passed under what's called reconciliation.
I don't want to get too far into the weeds, but very briefly, that's a budget plan that allows it to be passed by a simple majority, not by the supermajority of 60 votes.
Is that a nuclear option, if they do that?
McCONNELL: Well, I mean, they have that option. That's the good news for them. They could pass it with a simple majority, as you suggest.
Since then, Fox News personalities have repeatedly declared process is "nuclear option"
Fox News' Sammon: "Democrats are headed for not the public option, but the nuclear option." Fox News vice president of news and Washington managing editor Bill Sammon has repeatedly falsely compared the potential use of reconciliation to pass a health care bill with the "nuclear option." On June 23, while discussing Democratic efforts to advance health care reform, Sammon asserted, "I think they have built in that eventuality that they have to use the nuclear option." He continued: "By the way, when Democrats do it, we're supposed to call it reconciliation. When Republicans do it, we call it the nuclear option." And on the August 18 edition of Fox Business' Cavuto, Sammon stated: "Democrats are headed for not the public option, but the nuclear option -- which is to say they'll change the rules to the Senate so that you don't need 60 votes, you'll only need 50 votes. And then, of course, [Vice President Joe] Biden would be the tiebreaker."
Hannity, Morris also redefine reconciliation as nuclear option. On the August 10 edition of Fox News' Hannity, Fox News contributor Dick Morris predicted that Democrats will try to pass a health care bill "with 50 votes on reconciliation, the so-called nuclear option." The next day, host Sean Hannity similarly stated that Democrats are "even talking about a nuclear option if they can't get their 60-vote filibuster number in the Senate -- or filibuster-proof number."
Stoddard, Baier agree that reconciliation "used to be called the nuclear option." From the August 19 edition of Special Report with Bret Baier:
A.B. STODDARD (The Hill associate editor): I mean, you can't end up with a bill that changes insurance policy, OK? So that's a really complicated road, but also it's just -- it's a political disaster for them to leave out the other party and try to ram something through the Senate using a procedure by the way that was designed to just keep the deficit under control.
BAIER: And you're talking about reconciliation --
STODDARD: The reconciliation procedure.
BAIER: -- where the vote would be -- just quickly -- they would only need 51 votes instead of the 60 --
STODDARD: Instead of the 60.
BAIER: -- normally required. Reconciliation is what it's called now. It used to be called the nuclear option, didn't it?
STODDARD: Yes. Yes. I mean, it was invented long ago by Senator Byrd, and it was to protect the deficit. And he is against -- he has said adamantly he's against his party using this to ram a spending bill and a policy bill through the Senate.
It is -- it would be nuclear if they left the other party out and tried to pull this through with 51 Democrats.
Hannity repeatedly refers to "reconciliation process" as "nuclear option." On August 19, Hannity stated, "Harry Reid and his staff are saying now that this nuclear option that we keep hearing about -- which is the reconciliation process -- he's using the term 'any means legislatively necessary,' that they will use." Later in his show, Hannity again asserted: "So Harry Reid is threatening the nuclear option. If they go -- if they don't listen to the American people, who are speaking out at these town halls, and they bypass the normal process and they try and do this through reconciliation, which I would argue they have great difficulties if they want to try that, would that be a slap in the face to the American people?"
Fox's Emanuel: Dems "considering the nuclear option -- 51 votes to get the most controversial aspects of health care reform through." On August 20, White House correspondent Mike Emanuel stated: "[I]f you look at the headlines this morning, it says that, basically, the Democrats are considering the nuclear option -- 51 votes to get the most controversial aspects of health care reform through." Emanuel added, "So the question is: Are some Democrats somewhere basically threatening Republicans, saying, you can either get with us or we're gonna shove it down your throats? And so, definitely, you see some flexing of muscles from some Democrats out there."
Fox Nation: "Dems Consider Nuclear Option to Pass Health Care." On August 20, The Fox Nation featured this image of a mushroom cloud with the headline, "Dems Consider Nuclear Option to Pass Health Care":
[The Fox Nation, accessed 8/20/09]
CNN's Chetry, Cooper, MSNBC's Matthews joined Fox in comparing reconciliation to "nuclear option"
Cooper on "White House battle for health care reform": "Call it the nuclear option." As Media Matters noted, on August 18, CNN anchor Anderson Cooper stated: "Breaking news that could change everything in the White House battle for health care reform. Call it the nuclear option." He continued: "After negotiating with the Republicans, conservative Democrats and, seemingly, themselves, over parts of a plan, CNN has learned that the administration could be getting closer to a very big change -- namely, crafting a health care bill and trying to ram it through the Senate, even if it passes by only a single vote."
Chetry: "[T]he nuclear option is something that we're talking about yet again." Similarly, the following day, American Morning co-host Kiran Chetry stated: "We've heard about the nuclear option before, right? I mean, that was when there was talk about maybe bypassing Democratic concerns when it came to judicial nominees." She added: "Well, now, the nuclear option is something that we're talking about yet again. This time it has to do with Democrats considering going it alone when it comes to health care."
Chris Matthews: Using reconciliation is not "accept[ing] the Senate rules." On August 19 on MSNBC's Hardball, Chris Matthews had the following exchange with Salon.com's Joan Walsh:
MATTHEWS: Let's finish the show tonight with a real salute to you, Joan. We don't always agree, as you point out, but I think you had a fascinating notion the other day. Don't call it the nuclear option. Don't even try it. Accept the Senate rules and say, "Look, if the other side wants to filibuster, we'll give them all the time in the world to filibuster."
But, at some point, it's going to be clear to the American people that's what they're doing; they're filibustering. Call for a vote. Let them talk and talk, bring the bunk beds in. Stay for a month or two, stay 'till Christmas, 'til New Year's. Let them -- but make them filibuster like in the movie Mr. Smith Goes to Washington. Make them actually do it. Accept the rules as they are. Why not do it? I think it's a great idea.
WALSH: I agree. I'd like to see Harry Reid --
MATTHEWS: Well, it was your idea.
WALSH: Oh, it's a lot of people's idea.
CNN's Josh Levs debunks: "It's actually not" the nuclear option
Levs: "[W]e're not talking about that term here." On August 19, correspondent Josh Levs described how Democrats could "circumvent" Republican opposition to health care reform, saying they could "use that reconciliation, get a simple majority of 51 votes, [and] potentially pass the bill." Anchor Drew Griffin then asked: "[I]s that the nuclear option we've heard about ... in the past?" Levs replied, "It's actually not." Levs continued: "Right, we've heard the 'nuclear option' term used, and that was used in the context of trying to get through some judicial nominees against a filibuster. In a way, it's a similar concept, but we're not talking about that term here. That's not the term that we're -- that's being used. Instead, it's about this specific thing, a reconciliation, that got inside that 2010 budget."

CT&W will be held at the New Orleans Hyatt Regency Tuesday-Thursday, Nov. 13-15, in the famed Garden District and just blocks from its even more famous French Quarter. It is NAMA's 5th Coffee, Tea & Water Show and while every year the show has grown bigger and better and this year is no exception -- this year's show is the largest coffee service show in the country and is the premier gathering place for the dedicated professionals who want to learn and share information from lifetimes of experience. Operators, suppliers, brokers, manufacturers, and distributors can all showcase their wares, network with colleagues, and check out opportunities for growth and profitability.
Let me give you some highlights of this powerful show. First, keynote speaker Ric Rhinehart, director and vice president of the Specialty Coffee Association, will share his views on "Key Trends in Specialty Coffee" at the Nov. 13 opening session. You will learn about coffee quality and the consumer experience in an increasingly volatile coffee world, and the implications for consumption, growth and value. Ric knows what he's talking about -- in addition to his work with the Specialty Coffee Association, he has held executive positions in several coffee and tea firms over the past 20 years, and has also designed, developed, and produced a wide range of both tea and coffee products. Among other achievements, he is also the co-author of Tea Basics a primer on premium tea.
Another not-to-be-missed session at the show will be the presentation on Wednesday, November 14 of the results of a sweeping office coffee service survey, sponsored by NAMA, that reveals a host of strategic insights about how operators can enhance their business. The research clearly identifies opportunities that can help operators grow their business. Attendees will learn about new products that could be sold to accounts, insights into budgets and how that translates into up-selling accounts and increasing sales, along with a look at how account decision makers view the business practices of their coffee service providers. Attendees to this session will walk away with specific facts that can help them develop new strategies to grow their business and increase profits."
The research was conducted by Heart+Mind strategies, a strategic research consulting firm headquartered in Washington, DC, and will be presented by Heart+Mind President and Managing Partner Mike Dabadie. Before founding Heart+Mind Strategies, Mike spent more than ten years with WirthlinWorldwide and also served as chief marketing officer at Community Coffee Company. He has also served as the pollster to several elected officials.
There's still more! The Show will feature 16 hard-hitting education sessions with real world advice designed to help you succeed. Just some of those sessions include:
• 4.5 hours of sales training from leading sales expert and best-selling author Jeb Blount, author of five books including his bestseller People Buy You: The Real Secret to What Matters Most in Business and his newest release, People Follow You: The Real Secret to What Matters Most in Leadership
• The Art of the Introductory Call; How to Get Appointments with Top Prospects

NAMA has also arranged an exciting optional and free tour of the New Orleans (NOLA) Port Authority and Dupuy Storage and Forwarding Corporation. New Orleans is not only rich in coffee history but is also the second largest port of entry for green coffee. It will be interesting to see such an integral but behind the scenes look at such an important component of the delivery process serving our industry.
Finally, the city of New Orleans enjoys world-renowned restaurants, family attractions and sensational cultural activities, and is a great place to entertain clients. In just seven years after the devastating blow it received from Hurricane Katrina, the city is once again strong and vibrant.

Yemen Times, published since 1991 and is the most widely-read English newspaper of the country, published an interview by Mohammad al Haqim, one of the columnists of Yemen Times, with Harun Yahya. A section from the interview published with the title "Harun Yahya: A Sound Islamic Union Should Be Established":
"Allah commands all Muslims to continuously invite people to the moral values of the Qur'an and to spread the moral values of Islam to the world. It is revealed in Surat an-Nur, 55: "Allah has promised those of you who have faith and do right actions that He will make them successors in the land as He made those before them successors, and will firmly establish for them their religion with which He is pleased and give them, in place of their fear, security. 'They worship Me, not associating anything with Me.' Any who are unbelievers after that, such people are deviators." This indicates that the moral values of Islam will dominate the world. (Allah knows the truth.) It is of utmost importance that Muslims do everything they can in order for such a blessed message to be realized. Spreading the moral values of the Qur'an will put an end to the oppression and pain that continues in many places throughout the world and will ensure constant peace and security.

when I run
I should be seeing packets ranging in length from 68 to 86. 68 is the usual packet length for a wireless arp request is what I read. The problem is that I only see packets that are 86, nothing else.Code:
aireplay-ng -2 -b 00:14:6C:7E:40:80 -d FF:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF -f 1 -m 68 -n 86 ath0
I tried to change the min/max to 68 and 68 so it should only see packets that are 68, and its about 50k packets into broadcasting with no hits. I have 2 clients associated to my AP so there should be traffic.
anyone got ideas?

Wall Street CEO Charged With Fraud Was A Fox Regular Billed As Having "A Good Track Record"
Fox VP Cavuto On Thomas Belesis: "Friend," "Good Track Record," "I'd Vote For You"
Blog ››› ››› ERIC HANANOKI
A Wall Street CEO charged with defrauding investors and physically threatening associates was a regular and favorite anti-regulation guest for Fox and the network's senior vice president, Neil Cavuto.
Fox News and Fox Business hosted John Thomas Financial founder and CEO Thomas Belesis 24 times in 2012 and January 2013. Fox ironically turned to Belesis to combat negative perceptions about Wall Street and push claims that government regulation is hurting businesses. Cavuto held up Belesis as an example of someone who defies the stereotype of "greedy, selfish pigs" on Wall Street, and called him a "friend," someone with "a good track record," and even encouraged him to run for office ("I'd vote for you").
Watch a video compilation of Cavuto's praise for Belesis:
Fox Business has aired analysis from questionable voices in the past. Fox last month fired analyst Tobin Smith for receiving compensation to promote the stock of Petrosonic Energy, a violation of network policy. Fox Business contributor Charles Payne, who is still employed by Fox, was also paid to promote now worthless stocks, and previously "agreed to pay a civil penalty of $25,000" in 1999 to settle a Securities and Exchange Commission complaint.
This week, Belesis' John Thomas Financial ended its registration as a securities broker-dealer. The termination followed a tumultuous several months in which the SEC and an industry regulatory organization charged Belesis with defrauding investors. The SEC charged Belesis and his alleged fraud partner George Jarkesy in March with defrauding investors in two hedge funds. As Bloomberg explained of the SEC's charges:
The two men, both 38, told investors the funds were independent from the brokerage then steered excessive fees to Belesis's New York-based firm, the SEC said yesterday in a statement. The regulator said it started administrative proceedings against Belesis, Jarkesy, who managed the funds, and their firms. They could face punishments including disgorgement and financial penalties, the SEC said.
Belesis worked with Jarkesy to raise two funds in 2007 and 2009, which peaked at $30 million under management, telling investors they would invest in microcap stocks, bridge loans and life-insurance policies, the SEC said. Jarkesy inflated the value of investments in disclosures and hired stock promoters to boost the price of shares, while Belesis and John Thomas Financial "willfully aided, abetted and caused" the hedge funds' violations, according to the regulator.
On April 15, 2013, The Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA), a private organization that acts as a regulator for securities firms, charged Belesis with "fraud in connection with the sale of America West Resources, Inc. (AWSR) common stock, intimidation of registered representatives, trading ahead, failing to provide best execution for customer orders and various other violations."
FINRA further alleged that Belesis violated "FINRA's anti-intimidation rule by physically threatening (including threatening to have them 'run over'), harassing and assaulting registered representatives who have disagreed with Belesis' business practices, and threatening to ruin the registered representatives' financial careers by improperly marking their industry records."
InvestmentNews reported in February that Belesis "has a scuff-marked history in the securities industry":
S.W. Bach & Co. fired him in 2005 because of an "inaccurate representation of identity to customer," according to Mr. Belesis' record on Finra's BrokerCheck system. In 2001, a client sued him and a firm where he had worked for $750,000 for churning. A Finra arbitration panel later awarded the client $259,000. Mr. Belesis and other firms he's worked for have settled two other Finra arbitration claims totaling nearly $100,000, Finra records show. He paid $46,000 as his share of the settlements.
In an interview with InvestmentNews in 2010, Mr. Belesis brushed aside the S.W. Bach firing, saying that the firm was essentially making a grab for the office of brokers he controlled. Like other brokers of that era, he blamed fallout from the tech market crash as provoking frivolous client lawsuits.
Bloomberg News reported in February that former Belesis employees "described a boiler-room atmosphere where they used high-pressure tactics to push stocks" and "trainees worked 14-hour days, mostly on their feet, reciting memorized sales pitches."
Fox also hosted Jarkesy, who allegedly partnered with Belesis on a fraud scheme, at least eight times in 2012, according to a Nexis database search. Jarkesy's radio show biography states that he is a "frequent market commentator and guest on FOX Business News, FOX & Friends, and CNBC." Like Belesis, Jarkesy's Fox appearances often railed against government regulation of business. During a June 28, 2011, appearance, Fox Business identified Jarkesy as a "successful money manager and investor" in a segment about how "government regulations are hurting America's businesses."
Belesis A Frequent And Favorite Guest For Fox Business
According to a search of the Nexis database, Media Matters' internal archives, and John Thomas Financial's website, Belesis appeared on Fox Business and Fox News at least 24 times in 2012 and January 2013. He appeared on Fox Business this year on January 28, but appears to have stopped making media appearances when news surfaced that he was being investigated for violations.
Belesis was also frequently on CNBC: The firm's YouTube page lists 10 Belesis appearances on various CNBC programs in 2012.
Belesis appeared most often on Neil Cavuto's Fox News and Fox Business programs. He also appeared on America Live, Fox & Friends, Power and Money, and After The Bell.
Cavuto played up Belesis' credibility and resume during his Fox Business and Fox News segments:
- During a segment on criticism of the financial sector, Cavuto introduced Belesis on July 12, 2012, by stating: "And trust me, he is a nice guy, he is a good guy, he is a decent guy."
- On August 16, Cavuto concluded a segment about stock picks by telling Belesis, "you've got a good track record, so we shall see."
- On August 29, Cavuto said he called Belesis a "gutsy guy," "the voice of Wall Street, I like to call him" and "best dressed on Wall Street."
- On September 17, Cavuto concluded a segment with Belesis by stating, "Tom Belesis, thank you, my friend."
- On September 25, Cavuto told Belesis that Mitt Romney needs to deliver his message with "the same passion you just did" and added, "You should go into politics, you know. I don't know, you could run as a socialist. You could run as a communist. I'd vote for you because I'd just say, wow, you know. And you dress well. That is crucial."
Ironically, Belesis was brought on by Fox to combat criticism of Wall Street ethics and complain about government regulation on business.
In a July 12 FBN interview, Cavuto combated criticism of Romney's financial sector ties and "those evil bankers and the filthy fat cats" by pointing to Belesis. Cavuto began the segment by stating of Belesis: "trust me, he is a nice guy, he is a good guy, the decent guy" and later asked him, "does it bother you on any level that the media pounces on the 25 percent financial support that Romney is getting and guys like you who are not nefarious characters and say nothing about the 25, a little bit more than that from the same sector that Barack Obama is getting?" Belesis replied by claiming Obama is waging "class warfare."
During FBN's Republican National Convention coverage on August 29, 2012, Cavuto held up Belesis as someone who defies the stereotype of Wall Street as "greedy, selfish pigs."
On the November 8, 2012, edition of Cavuto, Belesis responded to a question about whether Wall Street money hurt Mitt Romney's electability by claiming it didn't since "if you're doing the right business, you're doing it in a way where it's not going to come out, you know, in a way like it did back in 2008, where a few banks put these crazy products together that really blew up the economy. You know, we're not in that type of business." Belesis then transitioned into claiming that his own business was above the board:
BELESIS: I think the people that are doing the business the right way are not going to have any issues. As a matter of fact, you know, I just hired a chief risk officer from the SEC to come on board, to keep us intact with the new and up and coming regulations so that that way...
CAVUTO: That is actually very P.R. smart.
BELESIS: We did it because, you know what, that's the time that we're in right now and we have to be very smart about that.

As players feel the pressure to commit earlier and earlier in the
recruiting process, we can expect to see more years like we did this year with
the introduction of recruits beginning with "formerly committed
We expected a day of change in the Top 25 and we weren't disappointed as Ohio State closed out the day with the Nation's No. 1 Class while Michigan and Alabama have a legit claim to the No. 1 spot.
Here's a look at the Top 25 Classes as Signing Day came to a close.
Previous ranking in parenthesis is from start of National Signing Day.
|Urban Meyer and Ohio State took the Big Ten by storm in just a few short months last year before finishing with the No. 3 class in the country. The Buckeyes haven't let up and could bring in an even more impressive haul this year. It's a terrific year for running backs and Ezekiel Elliot (6-foot/200) of St. Louis, Mo., is ranked ninth but would push for No. 1 in most years. Linebacker Mike Mitchell (6-4/225) of Plano, Texas is a name who will have scouts salivating at the NFL Combine in a few years. He possesses a size/speed skill set that translates well to the next level. Percy Harvin did as much damage running the ball as he did catching it for Urban Meyer at Florida, and Jalin Marshall (6-1/190) of Middletown, Ohio, has the ability to play the Harvin role almost as good as Harvin. (1/31) Ohio State gets 4-Star wide receiver Corey Smith, moving the Buckeyes up and putting Michigan squarely in their sights. (2/4) Ohio State inched a little closer to the No. 1 Class in the nation with a commitment from the nation's No. 10 running back Dontre Wilson (5'10/180) of Desoto, Texas. (2/6) Ohio State took over the No. 1 spot in the rankings on Signing Day with a signature from 5-Star safety Von Bell (6'0/190) of Rossville, Ga., and for good measure to get some separation from the No. 2 team, Ohio State quickly added 4-Star receiver James Clark (5'11/170) of New Smyrna Beach, Fla.
|Michigan had the No. 1 class for much of the year for the Class of 2012 but lacked the staying power to hold on to the top spot, eventually finishing an impressive fourth. Fast forward to the Class of 2013 and there have been several changes at the top, but Michigan may have solidified the No. 1 spot with a commitment from Scout's No. 1 running back Derrick Green (5-foot-11/220 pounds) of Richmond, Va., on Jan. 26. Green was Michigan's 19th player rated four stars or better including quarterback Shane Morris (6-3/205) of Warren, Mich., and safety Dymonte Thomas (6'1/180) of Alliance, Ohio. The one hole in Michigan's class may be at receiver, but overall the Wolverines have a strong case for the nation's No. 1 class.
|Alabama doesn't so much recruit any more as they select. Winning three of the last four BCS Championships has its benefits, and reloading with talented players willing to wait their turn for championship hardware is one of them. Normally this time of year we talk about Alabama's defensive stars, but this year, the intriguing players are mostly on offense. The Crimson Tide isn't getting away from smash-mouth football any time soon, not with running backs Derrick Henry (6-3/240) of Yulee, Fla., Altee Tenpenny (6-foot/205) of North Little Rock, Ark., and Tyren Jones (5-9/200) of Marietta, Ga., all slated to play for Alabama. Henry is particularly interesting as the nation's all-time leading high school rusher in the body of a defensive end. Quarterback Cooper Bateman (6-3/205) of Salt Lake City, Utah, is a solid passer with 4.5+ speed, which could give the Tide an option they haven't had in recent years. Tight end O.J. Howard (6-5/230) of Prattville, Ala., is as good a pass-catching tight end as I've scouted in years. (2/5) Alabama began its annual assault on the No. 1 ranking with a commitment from the nation's No. 1 linebacker Reuben Foster (6'1/240) of Auburn, Ala. (watch here). (2/6) Alabama began its Signing Day surge with the aptly named defensive lineman Dee Liner (6'4/295) of Muscle Shoals, Ala. and finished with the nation's No. 1 defensive tackle A'Shawn Robinson (6'4/305). With more Top 100 players than any other team in the country (14) Alabama has a legit claim to the best recruiting class in the nation.
|Notre Dame may have had a tough go of it at the BCS Championship Game, but sometimes the obvious gets ignored, they were one of only two teams playing for the championship. The Fighting Irish have recruited well the last several years, including the final years under former coach Charlie Weis, but now the talent is being put in position to win. Recruits are noticing. Linebacker Jaylon Smith (6-3/225) of Fort Wayne, Ind., is a home-state product that happens to be ranked the No. 1 outside linebacker in the country. Smith is a difference maker on defense who can drop into coverage or attack the quarterback. Notre Dame has a host of receivers coming in, but running back Greg Bryant (5-10/210) of Delray Beach, Fla., is special on offense. (2/6) The Irish added 5-Star defensive tackle Eddie Vanderdoes (6'3/300) of Auburn, Calif. late on Signing Day, from a rankings perspective it wasn't enough to hold off Alabama. From a player perspective, Vanderdoes was a huge pick up.
|Urban Meyer and Ohio State got the national attention last year for putting together a terrific class in just a few short months, but Jim Mora and UCLA did the same out west, finishing 12th after being left for dead earlier in the season. Like Ohio State, UCLA has picked right up where it left off, taking advantage of a winning season and scholarship limits imposed on USC. The pass-happy Pac-12 may have to think twice when facing UCLA, which has commitments from four defensive backs rated four-stars or better including five-star cornerback Priest Willis (6-2/190) of Tempe, Ariz., and versatile safety tandem Tahaan Goodman (6-2/190) of Rancho Cucamonga, Calif., and Tyler Foreman (6-2/205) of Encino, Calif. It may not be flashy, but it's certainly necessary -- the Bruins have commitments from a whopping five four-star offensive linemen including Poasi Moala (6-5/265) of Moreno Valley, Calif. (2/5) UCLA got a Signing Day Eve present with a commitment from former USC commit Kylie Fitts (6'4/260), a 4-Star defensive end from Redlands, Calif. (2/6) A Signature from 4-Star linebacker Isaac Savaiinaea helped give UCLA its best class in years.
|Going from Nick Saban to Les Miles, LSU has been the most consistent recruiting team in the nation over the last decade, and over the last decade no BCS program has a better winning percentage than the LSU Tigers. 2013 is no different as the Tigers look to lock in another top 10 class. The bulk of the talent LSU is bringing in is on the defensive side of the ball. Greg Gilmore (6-5/290) of Hope Mills, N.C., is a five-star defensive tackle looking to continue LSU's run of talented interior linemen. Defensive end Frank Herron (6-5/270) of Memphis, Tenn., is a versatile lineman who can easily be compared to the giant ends of the recent past, including Marcus Spears and Marquis Hill. It's not all defense for LSU though as the Tigers are bringing in a pair of four-star quarterbacks in Hayden Rettig (6-4/205) of Los Angeles and Anthony Jennings (6'2/202) of Marietta, Ga. LSU added former Auburn commit 4-Star defensive end Tashawn Bower (6'5/235) of Somerville, N.J. as a Signing Day surprise.
|Yes Texas A&M has 33 commitments and counting, but it's not the quantity of players that have the Aggies in such a lofty position, it's the quality. Texas A&M has 17 players rated four stars or better, and the receiver class is the envy of most teams in the country. The Aggies are bringing in a great receiving class headlined by the nation's No. 1 receiver in Ricky Seals-Jones (6'5/220) of Sealy, Texas. With Johnny Manziel coming off a Heisman Trophy season and having three seasons of eligibility left, it's no surprise that receivers are flocking to College Station, but the Aggies also have commitments from two four-star quarterbacks in Kenny Hill (6'0/205) of Southlake, Texas, and Kohl Stewart (6'2/190) of Houston. (2/6) Derrick Griffin was committed to the Aggies but will likely be headed to a junior college next year, but he was replaced on the commitment list with 4-Star defensive end Daeshon Hall (6'6/220) of Lancaster, Texas.
|Florida's pass defense was pretty strong in 2012, and it shouldn't slow down with the addition of No. 1 cornerback Vernon Hargreaves III (5-11/181) of Tampa, Fla. Hargreaves is as good in pass defense as any prospect in a long time. His coverage skills should free up hard-hitting safety Marcell Harris (6-2/200) of Orlando, Fla., to do what he does best -- hit opponents hard. The running game shouldn't miss a beat for the Gators either with the addition of one of the most prolific high school running backs in history in Kelvin Taylor (5-10/205) of Belle Glade, Fla. Ahmad Fulwood (6'4/200) of Jacksonville, Fla., and Demarcus Robinson (6'2/195) of Fort Valley, Ga., are two big receiving targets who should help to open up running lanes. (2/6) Florida closed the gap on the Top 5 when 4-Star defensive tackle Jaynard Bostwick (6'4/270) of Port Saint Lucie, Fla. inked with the Gators.
|Georgia was 10 yards from a spot in the BCS Championship Game, and the Bulldogs aren't going away any time soon. Georgia is bringing in a big class with several junior college transfers (four), so the Bulldogs are looking to make a run in 2013 with senior quarterback Aaron Murray. Wide receiver Jonathon Rumph (6-4/200) of Holmes Community College can be counted on right away. The Bulldogs are looking to re-stack the defense with a whopping 18 players committed on the defensive side of the ball, including junior college safeties Shaquille Fluker (6-1/205) of East Mississippi and Kennar Johnson (6-2/185) of Gulf Coast. Quarterback Brice Ramsey (6-3/200) of Kingsland, Ga., won't be counted on next year, but he is a terrific passer who could be in line for the starting job in 2014. (2/6) Georgia got a signature from 4-Star defensive end Davin Bellamy (6'5/225) of Chamblee, Ga. to finish a huge class of 32 signees.
|Who is the surprise team of the year? That's a common question in this business and never has the answer been as easy as it is this year: Ole Miss. The Rebels are knocking on the door of the top 10 with commitments from national stars such as five-star receiver Laquon Treadwell (6-3/190) of Crete, Ill., tight end Christian Morgan (6-4/255) of Plano, Texas, and arguably the nation's No. 1 junior college prospect in defensive lineman Lavon Hooks (6-4/295) of Northeast Mississippi Community College. Ole Miss as is typical has signed its share of stars from within the state borders, including four-star quarterback Ryan Buchanan (6-4/210) of Jackson and four-star running back Kalio Moore (5-11/185) of Rosedale. (2/4) Ole Miss lost a pair of commitments in running back Peyton Barber (5'11/225) of Alpharetta, Ga. and junior college defensive end Jarran Reed, but added 4-Star running back Jordan Wilkins (6'1/210) of Cordova, Tenn. (2/6) Ole Miss finally added long time commit Robert Nkemdiche (6'4/260) of Loganville, Ga. the defensive end who is the nation's No. 1 overall prospect as well as the nation's No. 1 offensive tackle prospect in Laremy Tunsil (6'6/295) of Lake City, Fla.
|Nebraska's move to the Big Ten generated the question "what will be Nebraska's recruiting strategy?". I didn't have an answer at the time, and last year it appeared Nebraska didn't either as the Cornhuskers finished 50th in the nation on Signing Day. Now it looks like Nebraska has settled in and figured it out. Rather than focus on a specific region, the Huskers have fanned out across the country and gotten commitments from 12 states and two countries (Canada). Two of Nebraska's highest-profile recruits come from California in quarterback Johnny Stanton (6-2/225) of Rancho Santa Margarita and Terrell Newby (5-10/180) of West Hills. Stanton is a power running option spread quarterback with a good arm, and Newby is a speed back who attacks the line of scrimmage like a much bigger back. Newby can provide the lightning to Katy, Texas, Adam Taylor's (6-foot/210) thunder. (2/4) Nebraska added commitments from defensive end Dimarya Mixon (6'4/265) of Mequite, Texas and junior college transfer offensive lineman Chongo Kondolo (6'4/300).
|It seems like ancient history, but it was only roughly 12 months ago that Clemson's defense gave up 70 points to West Virginia. Not surprisingly the Clemson commitment list is stacked with 12 defensive players of its 18 commitments including 4-Star linebackers Jayron Kearse (6'4/205) of Fort Myers, Fla., Ben Boulware (6'1/226) of Anderson, S.C., and Dorian O'Daniel (6'2/205) of Olney, Md. Even one of Clemson's top targets on offense, 4-Star running back Wayne Gallman (6'1/200) of Loganville, Ga. is a spectacular linebacker as well. (2/6) Clemson continued to address its needs on defense with a signature from the nation's No. 7 cornerback Mackensie Alexander (5'11/185) of Immokalee, Fla. A late signature from 4-Star offensive guard Tyrone Crowder (6'3/340) gave Clemson a quiet surge into the upper half of the Top 25.
|Few teams have experienced the up and down yo-yo on and off the field like Auburn. The Tigers' recruiting class was top 10 early in the season, fell out of the top 25 after the football season, and is currently headed back in the right direction as we approach Signing Day. Adding weapons at quarterback in athlete Nick Marshall (6-3/200) of Garden City Community College and prep star Jeremy Johnson (6-6/210) of Montgomery, Ala., should help provide the rudders to steer the Tigers back in the right direction. Auburn is also looking for immediate help on the defensive line with junior college transfer Ben Bradley (6-3/315) of Hutchinson and a pair of highly recruited ends in Carl Lawson (6-2/255) of Alpharetta, Ga., and Tashawn Bower (6-5/235) of Somerville, N.J. (2/4) Auburn got big running back Peyton Barber to join teammate Lawson. (2/6) Auburn got big news with signatures from former Ole Miss commitment Elijah Daniels, a 4-Star defensive end from Avon, Ind. and the big catch in 5-Star defensive tackle Montravius Adams (6'3/300) of Vienna, Ga. Auburn kept up its good work with a signature from 4-Star running back Jonathan Ford (5'11/200) of New Hope, Ala.
|Washington is putting together another strong class after three straight top 25 classes under head coach Steve Sarkisian. As is typical for teams on the West Coast, the bulk of the Huskies' star power comes from California. Of Washington's nine commitments rated four stars or better, eight of them hail from the Golden State, including quarterback Troy Williams (6-3/200) of Harbor City and big receiver Demorea Stringfellow (6-3/215) of Moreno Valley. Receiver John Ross (5-11/175) of Long Beach, Calif., may be the most under-appreciated four-star receiver on the West Coast. Generating little buzz among fans who had their focus on other prospects, Ross seemingly went under the radar. Ross will change that on the big stage of college football. He is a dynamic playmaker on offense and as a return man. (2/6) The Huskies lost 4-Star offensive lineman Cameron Hunt (6'4/290) to Oregon but gained a signature from linebacker Keishawn Bierria (6'1/210) a teammate of Williams.
|Oklahoma isn't accustomed to being in the teens on Signing Day, but the Sooners are bringing in one of the most talented running backs in the country in Keith Ford (5-11/195) of Cypress, Texas. After having such success going west to get oversized safety Tony Jefferson in 2010, the Sooners are trying their luck again with Hatari Byrd (6-2/210) of Fresno. Byrd is built like an outside linebacker but runs like a defensive back. The Sooners are looking to get bigger on the defensive line and have commitments from three defensive tackles, including junior college product Quincy Russell (6-4/310) of Trinity Valley who should push for immediate playing time. (1/31) Oklahoma continues to make a run at the big men with a commitment from defensive lineman Matthew Romar (6'2/255) of Port Arthur, Texas. (2/6) Oklahoma got a signature from Byrd's teammate 4-Star cornerback L.J. Moore (6'1/175) to keep Oklahoma in the Top 15.
|Jimbo Fisher helped make Florida State a player on the national recruiting stage again after year of the Seminoles being THE player on the national stage. Fisher flipped former Alabama commitment Demarcus Walker (6'4/250) of Jacksonville, Fla. to Tallahassee a few weeks ago. On Signing Day eve, the Seminoles got maybe an even more impressive switch when the nation's No. 2 cornerback Jalen Ramsey (6'0/190) of Brentwood, Tenn. switched from USC to Florida State. Ramsey and Walker join a solid nucleus of players including playmaking running back Ryan Green (5'10/190) of St. Pete. (2/6) Florida State continued its ascent up the charts on Signing Day with a signature from 5-Star linebacker Matthew Thomas (6'4/210) of Miami, Fla. and 4-Star defensive tackle Keith Bryant (6'2/307) of Delray Beach. The Seminoles were outside of the Top 25 just two days before Signing Day.
|Oregon's world was turned upside down recently with the departure of head coach Chip Kelly to the NFL, but the Ducks seem to be doing a good job of hanging on to a small but talented group of players. The small class (15) means there are less targets to lose to poachers, but the loss feels outsized. One player the Ducks can count on is running back Thomas Tyner (6-foot/215) of Beaverton, Ore. Tyner is a legitimate track star in the body of a big running back. Tyner had never had to run through tackles before, he could simply run by them at his high school, but he showed more than enough ability to go between the tackles when facing the tough competition of the Army All-America Bowl. Oregon's high-powered attack will need to stay high powered -- the Ducks have only three players committed on defense. (1/31) Oregon continues to fill out its class by adding commitments from athletic quarterbacks including Damion Hobbs (6'3/225) of Cedar Hill, Texas. (2/5) Oregon lost running back 4-Star Dontre Wilson to Ohio State, but don't expect much sympathy for the team bringing in Thomas Tyner. (2/6) Oregon got a much anticipated signature from former 4-Star offensive lineman, Cal commitment Cameron Hunt (6'4/290) of Corona, Calif. as well as a signature from former USC commit 4-Star defensive end Torrodney Prevot (6'4/205) of Houston, Texas.
|That USC only has half a class (13 commitments) and still cracks the top 10 as late as the week before Signing Day is one of the most amazing developments I've ever seen. USC has more five-star players committed (six) than any team in the country. With so few scholarships to give, USC put a premium on early commitments and made each scholarship more valuable. While the early pressure cooker can cause some headaches in January with de-commitments, USC is still bringing in the nation's No. 1 quarterback -- Max Browne (6-5/215) of Sammamish, Wa. -- and the No. 1 safety -- Su'a Cravens (6-1/205) of Murrieta, Calif. Of USC's commitments, all of them are rated at least four stars, and 10 of them are ranked in the top 10 at their respective positions. That's an unprecedented level of success on the recruiting trails in the teeth of harsh NCAA sanctions. (2/5) Losing 5-Star cornerback Jalen Ramsey (6'0/190) of Brentwood, Tenn. to Florida State was a blow to a small, but talented class. The news got worse as 4-Star defensive end Torrodney Prevot (6'4/205) of Houston, Texas finally went public with his decommitment while former Trojan pledge Kylie Fitts announced for rival UCLA. (2/6) USC got some much needed good news with a signature from former Florida commitment 4-Star linebacker Quinton Powell (6'2/200) of Daytona Beach, Fla.
|In any other year that Ole Miss isn't crashing the top 10, Vanderbilt would be considered the surprise team of the year as the Commodores are looking for their highest finish in recruiting ... ever. It wasn't too long ago that it was surprising to see Stanford in the top 25, and now the Cardinal is a perennial top 25 team on the field as well. Vanderbilt is hoping to have similar success and solidify the lines of scrimmage with four-star prospects such as offensive lineman Delando Crooks (6-4/277) of Atlanta and defensive tackle Jay Woods (6-2/275) of Jackson, Ga., is a good start. (2/6) Vanderbilt got a nice win over Stanford with the signature of receiver Jordan Cunningham (6'1/175) of Fort Lauderdale, Fla. and also added 4-Star linebacker Zach Cunningham (6'4/205) of Pinson Valley, Ala. for the Commodores highest finish ever on FOX Sports Next.
|Mississippi State and Dan Mullen have turned in three straight winning seasons in Starkville and look to turn in a second consecutive top 25 recruiting class after finishing 18th in 2012. Without a doubt the highest profile recruit in this class is defensive end Chris Jones (6-6/255) of Houston, Miss. Jones comes from a town of roughly 3,500 people and relatively speaking was late to the recruiting scene. A big senior year followed by an impressive All-American performance at Under Armour vaulted Jones to the No. 2 defensive end. On the offensive side of the ball, running back Ashton Shumpert (6-2/210) is a big, powerful back. The Bulldogs have seven wide receivers on their commitment list, but lost the most highly rated of them in Corey Smith to Ohio State the week before Signing Day. (2/6) The Bulldogs helped get over the loss of Smith by plucking 4-Star receiver Fred Ross (6'0/180) of Tyler, Texas off of Oklahoma State's commitment list.
|South Carolina is another team that has become a mainstay in the top 25. The Gamecocks have been quieter on the recruiting trail this year, and that may be because there's no Jadeveon Clowney or Marcus Lattimore in state this year. In fact the Gamecocks went north to get a running back commitment from David Williams (6-1/200) of Philadelphia. South Carolina has made itself at home in Georgia though with commitments from seven players from the Peach State, including defensive tackle Kelsey Griffin (6-2/300) of Hoschton, Ga. (2/6) South Carolina jumped back into the Top 25 with a signature from linebacker Skai Moore (6'3/210) of Fort Lauderdale, Fla.
|Pittsburgh is looking to shore up a defensive secondary and has five players committed who project as safeties. Some of those players -- such as Tony Harper (6-4/200) of Toledo, Ohio -- have the frames to grow into outside linebackers. It's a safety though in Tyler Boyd (6-1/175) of Clairton, Pa., who headlines the Panther recruiting class. The cafeteria could take the biggest hit at Pittsburgh as the Panthers look to get considerably bigger along the lines of scrimmage. Pittsburgh has commitments from 13 players at tight end, offensive line, and defensive line, including four-star offensive tackle Dorian Johnson (6-6/275) of Belle Vernon, Pa.
|Texas has always recruited talent consistently, where they become inconsistent is with the size of their classes, and this year looks to be a smaller year for the Longhorns after signing 50 players in the last two. Quarterback Tyrone Swoopes (6-4/220) of Whitewright can throw it a mile and run like a deer. If he can develop consistency and harness his talent, he can be special. As is typical for a Longhorn class, every one of Texas' commitments played high school football in Texas. (2/4) The loss of the nation's No. 1 defensive tackle A'Shawn Robinson (6'4/305) hurt Texas in the recruiting rankings, and more importantly, that's a big hole to fill on the defensive line.
|Oklahoma State has quickly earned a reputation as a haven for skill players on offense and of the Cowboys' five four-star rated recruits, not surprisingly two of them are wide receivers. There is a good mix with Marcell Ateman (6-4/190) of Wylie, Texas, fitting the big role, and Ra'Shaad Samples (5-10/170) of Dallas fitting into the slot. (2/4) The Cowboys added a commitment from defensive end Vili Leveni (6'4/260) of Hurst, Texas. (2/6) the Cowboys were stung by the loss of their highest rated commitment, receiver Fred Ross (6'0/180) of Dallas, Texas to Mississippi State on the eve of Signing Day.
|Baylor has become a popular place for big time offensive players, and the Bears add another one in the Nation's No. 2 wide receiver Robbie Rhodes (6'1/190) of Fort Worth, Texas. But Baylor also addressed a need on the defensive line with a Signing Day pledge from 4-Star defensive tackle Andrew Billings (6'1/305) of Waco, Texas. Billings joins 4-Star safety Austin Jupe (6'1/185) of San Antonio to lead the Baylor defense of the future.

I take it you're using the gui... make sure you "start sniffing" otherwise the arp requests are like roaches in the roach motel they come in(to your computer) but never leave(to the other computers). Kinda defeats the purpose of "man in the middle"
I'm having some troubles with ettercap.
I'm running BT2 inside VMware server 1.05, and was able to get ettercap up and running with a bit of mucking about. Any websites that used SSL popped up with a confirm box, and if you hit yes it captured the password. In fact it seemed to be working a little too well where everyone in the host list (only one computer was added to the right column target list) was getting popups for certificates, even though the target computer was the only one being recorded. Once I removed everyone from the host list but the target computer it all seemed to work fine. I had a nice little list of certificates being collected.
Today though upon booting up I cant get it to work for the life of me. Every time I turn on ARP poisoning my internet slows to a crawl. If I then go to a site that has an SSL certificate, my internet drops out. I have to shut down ettercap and disconnect and reconnect the target machine to the network. One the one occasion I was able to capture a certificate, it had an X next to it in the profiles tab, but no IP address.
Now, some details:
1) Wireshark still works fine in promiscuous mode
2) Ive edited the comments out in the etter.conf file
3) Thinking that it was having troubles sending files back to the router, I added the virtual machine IP to the DHCP list on the router.
4) I am currently using my host machine (the one running the virtual server) as the target machine as xxx.xxx.xxx.111, and the virtual server as the attacker as 112. Could this be causing problems trying to ARP attack myself from the same machine? It seemed to be working fine yesterday.
So Im out of ideas. Why would turning on ARP poisoning kill my whole internet? Why wouldnt it be recording certificates anymore? What could have changed since yesterday?
I take it you're using the gui... make sure you "start sniffing" otherwise the arp requests are like roaches in the roach motel they come in(to your computer) but never leave(to the other computers). Kinda defeats the purpose of "man in the middle"

Nice analogy =D
I've got sniffing turned on, but it seems to have the same problem.
It seems to be getting worse though, as now Wireshark doesn't seem to be capturing packets in promiscuous mode (the only thing it picks up is the router sending a message checking the IP of the target machine). I'm sure this was all working fine yesterday =/
Would this have anything to do with port forwarding? It was all I could find on the net but I'm not sure what to do with it.
Port Forwarding is for machines outside your lan to connect to specific computers/ports within your lan so that wouldn't be the issue. Try specifying the gateway as target one and a victim as target two to see if that works. If that fails use the command line to see if the same problem it occurs.

Mmmm, still no go.
If I have my host computer set as .111 and the vmware server set as .112, and wireshark with promiscuous turned off I should be seeing traffic when I go to a website on the host computer, right? As it stands now its like its completely crapped out. I can get on the internet from the vmware server, but I cant see any packets from any of the computers.
Ive been playing about with the Vmware server settings, but nothing seems to be helping. Is there anything special I have to do to vmware before running BT2?
My network card is only reported to work under backtrack (D-Link DWL-G520), so could windows be operating the wireless connection (apparently vmware cannot see wireless cards) and sending that signal without promiscuous mode turned on back to the vmware server? It still wouldnt make sense I cant see any local traffic though wireshark though...
Any ideas?
I think I figured it out...even though it makes no sense =/
I remember when I first ran vmware server, I didn't know what linux type backtrack was, so I just selected Ubuntu. Running through some tutorials I remember seeing everyone recommend putting it on Linux 2.6.x instead. Well I changed it back to Ubuntu just now and it seems to be working again...but why?
Is it just coincidence, or would selecting Ubuntu as the OS actually make some kind of difference?
Hey guys ive been having the same trouble. i too am using a bt3 vm and a xp vm (target). however i have found a solution.
Packet forwarding needs to be turned on otherwise the bt3 vm will drop the connection between the hosts we are sniffing, ultimately causing a DOS.
Run this in the shell before starting ettercap
echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
I also read somwhere ettercap is suppost to start packet forwading automatically. but that doesnt seem to be the case with the BT3 release. or is that incorrect?
I'm having the same problem, and I can't figure out how to fix it. I've tried running "echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward" both before and after opening ettercap, but it refuses to forward. I've checked all of those guides about configuring ettercap to work in older BT versions, and I've made sure that BT3 has the same configurations set (they were set properly by default). I've even tried disabling iptables (with the below commands) to make sure it wasn't a firewall issue... But it still won't forward. All other clients get disconnected.
Does anyone have any other ideas? I can't figure this out for the life of me.Code:To disable iptables: iptables -F iptables -t nat -F iptables -P INPUT ACCEPT iptables -P FORWARD ACCEPT iptables -P OUTPUT ACCEPT Then check with: iptables -nvL iptables -nvL -t nat
I tried running a BT3 Live CD and I didn't have this problem, so I know I'm doing things right. So it seems that the problem has to have something to do with VMware.

2012 Pinot Noir 750ml
Ripe cherries, star anise, vanilla spice, and even hints of cola show through in this dark and rich Pinot Noir. The location of our Cinghiale Vineyard, on the Sonoma Coast, gives us naturally intense wines derived from small berries that are a result of the cool ocean breezes that drift across our Pinot Noir vineyards. Never bashful, these wines have amazing concentration both aromatically and on the palate. From entry to finish, the 2012 shows both its power and elegance with weight, texture, and refined tannins.
As for the 2012 Pinot Noir Cinghiale Vineyard, this wine reflects the much riper vintage in its lofty 14.8% natural alcohol. The color is very deep ruby, and the wine slightly tighter and obviously less evolved than its three predecessors, with notes of sassafras and black cherry galore along with some raspberry and plum. It is full-bodied and relatively opulent, but then shuts down in the finish with some light tannin. This has plenty of potential and is accessible, but nevertheless, the best seems to be one to two years away. Some forest floor makes an appearance that gives rise to comparisons with top wines from Burgundy's Côte de Nuits. Drink it over the next 5-7 years. eRobertParker.com #221 Oct 2015 91 Points Drink: 2015-2022

A rescued husky needs a great home!
This 11 year old pure Siberian Husky was rescued from animal control. Believe it or not, he lived in a closet 23 hours a day (who knows for how long). He has been bathed and clipped but his skin needs time to heal. He's neutered and heartworm negative. If you, or someone you know, would be a good candidate for adopting him please email Linda: email@example.com
