アメリカの情報番組「The Today Show」によると、BMIでは、脂肪と筋肉の区別が出来ない。たとえば、身長182センチで、体重104キロのプロフットボール選手は、BMIの基準では「肥満」に分類される。しかし、フットボール選手の場合、体重の大半は脂肪ではなく筋肉だ。それにも関わらず、BMIを基準にすると、筋肉が脂肪だとみなされ、「不健康」と診断されてしまう。
Almonds are a rich source of fiber, protein, heart-healthy fat, antioxidants and vitamins and minerals, making them a one-stop food. "[They make] a great snack but watch your portion size as almonds are high in calories," warns Johnson. "Stick to no more than one ounce." That's 23 whole, shelled nuts. While the monounsaturated fat works to lower LDL cholesterol, their significant dose of vitamin E provides antioxidant power. What's more, a quarter-cup of almonds has about 100 milligrams of magnesium (about 25 percent of a daily allowance), which promotes vascular and heart health, and 257 milligrams of potassium, which helps prevent high blood pressure. These benefits also have a track record in real-world scenarios: in five longitudinal cohort studies, including the Iowa Women Health Study and the Nurses' Study, researchers found that replacing some portion of carbohydrate with nuts like almonds led to a heart disease risk reduction of 30 percent. And in a study in the journal Metabolism, researchers found that eating almonds along with a high glycemic index food (such as white bread, potatoes or sweets) at breakfast significantly lowered the overall glycemic index of the meal by helping to modulate the postprandial blood sugar rise.
Apples are an "excellent source of pectin, a soluble fiber that can lower blood cholesterol," says Wixom. The fruit is also high in fiber and its peel contains something called ursolic acid, which has been shown in recent studies to lower the incidence of obesity. "Apples also contain quercetin, which has anti-inflammatory properties and can help in preventing respiratory problems," Heather Bauer tells The Huffington Post. "Research shows that pregnant women who incorporated apples into their daily diet were less likely to give birth to a child with asthma."
These small greenish-yellow veggies are jam-packed with fiber -- 12 grams per cup, in fact. And a diet sufficient in fiber helps to promote healthy weight and cholesterol levels -- and digestive health. But what's more, a 2006 study in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition found that artichoke hearts had the highest antioxidant density of any vegetable, beating out such well-known antioxidant powerhouses as blueberries, dark chocolate and grapes.
Packed with heart-healthy monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fat that help people feel satiated, avocados are also rich sources of vitamin C, E, potassium, and lutein. And, points out Politi, when paired with salsa or salad, the monounsaturated fat helps us better absorb carotenoids, lycopene and beta-carotene -- an important class of antioxidants found in many vegetables that help to protect against everything from cancer to eye health problems to heart disease. Early research has also found that the fruit could play a role in inhibiting the growth of prostate cancer cells.
"The dark red color indicates the powerful phytonutrient package of beets," Diekman tells The Huffington Post. Indeed beets are rich in betalains, such as betanin and vulgaxanthin, that give them their pigment and also have anti-inflammation and antioxidant properties. Beyond that, beets contain significant amounts of folate, vitamin C, B6, iron, phosphorous, calcium, magnesium, zinc, niacin, riboflavin and thiamine.
Thanks to a certain gross-out childhood rhyme, everyone knows that beans are good for your heart thanks to a high fiber content. Their fiberous quality also makes them protective against certain cancers and a top-rated food for diabetics, per the American Diabetes Association. And when combined with a grain, they comprise a high-quality vegetarian source of complete protein. Beans are an excellent dietary source of folate and also have high levels of iron, potassium and magnesium, according to Wixom, which help with bone health and blood pressure levels.
The peppers are "loaded with vitamin C," says Joy Bauer. But unlike many other sources of the nutrient, bell peppers are relatively low in sugar, while also providing fiber and several antioxidants from the carotenoid class (alpha-carotene, beta-carotene, lycopene, lutein, cryptoxanthin and zeaxanthin). Carotenoids improve eye health, and are associated with a reduction in cancer risk and a lower risk of cardiovascular-related death. And at least one study found that they can make you appear more beautiful.
Berries are low in calories and are excellent sources of fiber, vitamin C, antioxidants and phytochemicals, and, according to Wixom, some research suggests they help with such divergent health challenges as age-related mental decline, heart disease, some cancers and urinary tract infections. On the mental acuity front, the berries are full of anthocyanins for boosting memory, according to Joy Bauer, but that's not their only age-related benefit. "These foods are high in antioxidants, protect the body from the harmful effects of by-products known as free radicals, made normally when the body changes oxygen and food into energy," according to experts at the Penn Institute on Aging at the University of Pennsylvania.
Along with green and white teas, black tea is full of antioxidant flavonoids. "Studies suggest [they] may have strong anti-inflammatory and immune boosting properties, be protective against certain cancers, cardiovascular disease and diabetes," says Heller. "Just don't load your tea up with sugar and cream!" On the other hand, adding a squeeze of lemon could help your body absorb antioxidants as well. But don't think that the compounds from tea are just the same as those found in other antioxidant-rich items like fruits and vegetables -- flavonoids are distinctly different, according to tea researcher John Weisburger, who told WebMD: ""In my lab, we found that green and black tea had identical amounts of polyphenols. We found that both types of tea blocked DNA damage associated with tobacco and other toxic chemicals. In animal studies, tea-drinking rats have less cancer."
While all berries provide healthful antioxidants, vitamins, fiber and phytochemicals, studies show that blueberries have a particular and unique health benefit. "Among the fruits with the highest level of antioxidants, blueberries have been linked to lowering cholesterol, reducing diabetes risk, slowing the aging process, improving motor skills and supporting urinary and vision health," says Fitzgerald. "The compound, anthocynanin, gives blueberries their color and may be the main component of its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties."
"Broccoli is high in fiber, low in calories, rich in the antioxidants vitamin C and beta carotene," says Young. But that's not all: according to Politi, the cruciferous vegetable is also rich in vitamins K, E, B and the minerals, calcium, iron, selenium and potassium. And that means broccoli is something of a wonder-food, promoting eye health and preventing macular degeneration with the carotenoids lutein and zeaxanthin; protecting against cancer, heart disease, stroke; building strong bones, thanks to calcium; and fortifying the immune system. But it's their richness in sulforaphane (what also gives them a slightly unpleasant smell) that research shows may help fight breast cancer. In fact, in one recent Chinese study, women who consumed the most cruciferous vegetables were 62 percent less likely to die of breast cancer and, if they had a history of breast cancer, were 35 percent less likely to experience a recurrence.
Fiber-packed and nutrient dense brown rice helps fill you up while being relatively low in calories," says Johnson. What's more, a 2010 Harvard study found that eating two or more servings of brown rice helped protect against Type 2 diabetes, compared to five servings of white rice, which actually increased the risk. And a 2006 rat study found that brown rice might specifically help to lower blood pressure.
"Consuming cruciferous vegetables like Brussels sprouts may play a role in protecting against heart disease perhaps by reducing inflammation," Zied tells The Huffington Post. They contain important nutrients like omega-3 fatty acids (in the form of ALA), vitamin A, B vitamins (thiamine, niacin, and folate), and vitamin E, according to Zied. And that's not all: according to a resource for breast cancer patients from Johns Hopkins Medicine, the antioxidant, antiestrogen and chemopreventive properties of the Brussels sprouts may make them useful in preventing recurrence of cancer.
These tartly sweet fruits are packed with vitamins A and C, iron and calcium, and are a low-calorie food to boot. Zied explains that they also are a good source of fiber, and have virtually no sodium or fat. Cherries are "packed with antioxidants, and emerging studies suggest that eating cherries or drinking cherry juice may promote heart health, play a role in pain management, support recovery from exercise, and even help you fall asleep faster," Zied tells HuffPost. Experts at the Penn Institute on Aging at the University of Pennsylvania also note that cherries' antioxidants help to "protect the body from the harmful effects of by-products known as free radicals, made normally when the body changes oxygen and food into energy."

Chia seeds are actually from the Salvia hispanica plant, and have been a part of the diets of the Aztecs and Mayans. The little seeds are super-rich in antioxidants and omega-3 fatty acids, which research has shown to be important in lowering inflammation in the body and reducing the risk of heart disease and cancer. Heather Bauer says that she loves putting chia seeds as a topping for yogurt in order to boost calcium and fiber intake. "A one tablespoon sprinkle contains 6 grams of fiber and is full of beneficial omega-3 fatty acids to reduce inflammation," Bauer tells HuffPost. "They're also abundant in antioxidants and contain more calcium than milk per serving." And Joy Bauer says that chia seeds actually have more calcium and fiber than the notoriously healthy flaxseed.

Ah, coffee. The perks of this remarkable brew have been more and more researched lately, with potential health benefits including the ability to protect against heart failure, lower depression risk, lower risk of some cancers, protect against diabetes and possibly even help you live longer. Joy Bauer also points out that coffee is high in antioxidants, which is great for brain health.
This little red fruit is actually a powerful urinary tract infection preventer, as it's able to stop bacteria from clinging to the urinary tract walls, according to the University of Maryland Medical Center. However, the National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine notes that there is not yet enough evidence to say that cranberries can actually treat UTIs. Some studies have also shown that cranberries have lots of antioxidants and may even be able to lower the amount of dental plaque we have in our mouths (which is a risk factor for gum disease, according to the National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine. However, it's important to keep in mind that juices made of cranberries often contain high amounts of sugar, so look out for types that are sugar free, the University of Maryland Medical Center advises.

How sweet it is that this sweet can actually be good for us? Ding notes that the flavonoids in cocoa are able to protect the heart from disease by lowering blood pressure, raising levels of "good" cholesterol and lowering levels of "bad" cholesterol, helping with blood flow and even improving insulin sensitivity. However, Ding also says that chocolate is high in calories and fat, and so supplements of cocoa flavonoids may be a better option for getting the full benefits of chocolate, instead of eating several bars a day. For more health benefits of chocolate, click here. Flickr photo by cursedthing
This green soy bean is packed to the gills with important nutrients like folate, protein, magnesium, potassium and fiber, Heller says, estimating that "one half a cup has about 8 grams of protein." And studies have shown that soy-containing foods -- such as tofu and edamame -- may even be able to protect the body from diseases like diabetes, cancer and heart disease, Heller says.

"Eggs provide perfect protein in a nutrient-rich, low-calorie, low-fat package," Katz says. That's because they are full of choline -- which is good for memory -- as well as the vision protectors lutein and zeaxanthin, Harvard Medical School says. Eggs do contain cholesterol -- about 212 milligrams per large egg, according to Harvard Medical School -- but the Mayo Clinic points out that having four egg yolks a week doesn't seem to have an effect in increasing heart disease risk or most people. Eggs' "dietary cholesterol is of limited, if any, importance," Katz says. Flickr photo by telepathicparanoia
Flax seeds are high in omega-3 fatty acids, fiber and lignans (a phytonutrient linked with lower risks of heart disease and possibly some cancers), Katz says. HuffPost blogger Kathy Freston, a health activist and author, notes in a past blog post that the abundant amount of fiber in flax seed makes you feel full faster and keeps blood sugar stable. Freston notes in her blog post that flaxseeds can be purchased ground or whole (and you can grind them on your own in a coffee grinder) and then added to foods like oatmeal, salads or smoothies.
A "superstar of Traditional Chinese Medicine," ginger root can be consumed as a tea (from boiled root) or eaten sliced as part of a dish, according to Fitzgerald. "Ginger has demonstrated anti-inflammatory properties, can help with nausea and digestive challenges [and] possesses anti-viral properties," she says. The National Institutes of Health also notes that ginger -- fresh dried, and/or juiced-- can also be used to treat migraines, toothache, rheumatism, cough, upper respiratory tract infections, stomach pain and burns.

Even though Greek yogurt is trendy right now, it does live up to its nutritional name, says Diekman. Greek yogurt provides "a good dose of protein and is an important source of calcium, potassium and phosphorous." In fact, the amount of protein obtained from Greek yogurt is actually twice that of traditional yogurt, Joy Bauer notes. However, U.S. News reports that Greek yogurt does have a significant fat content, with 16 grams of saturated fat in a six-ounce full-fat Greek yogurt from Fage. Therefore, to decrease fat intake, it may be wise to choose low-fat or nonfat options.
Green tea, made of unfermented tea leaves, has the highest amount of polyphenols -- a kind of plant-derived antioxidant -- compared to other teas, Politi says. These antioxidants keep the heart and brain healthy, and even protect against cancer. Recently, a study in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition showed that elderly people who made green tea consumption a part of regular life were also more likely to retain their independence and not have "functional disability." Studies have also shown that drinking three cups of green tea a day can decrease heart attack rate by 11 percent, and that it can also raise levels of "good" HDL cholesterol, the University of Maryland Medical Center reported. Other research has linked drinking green tea with lower levels of bladder, breast and colorectal cancer. Flickr photo by mckaysavage
This dark leafy green is loaded with calcium, which is good for bone and teeth health. "Kale contains most of the important vitamins and minerals needed to help the body grow and work the way it should," say experts at the Penn Institute On Aging. "Vitamins help resist infections, keep nerves healthy, and help the body get energy from food or blood to clot properly."
Kefir is a probiotic drink made of milk, typically from cows or goats, that has been fermented with kefir grains. Forberg notes that the beverage is a "scrumptious source of calcium, protein and probiotics to aid our digestion," and is also a welcome substitute in smoothies for milk or yogurt. Studies have shown that probiotics can improve our health by amping up the immune system and fighting infections. For the complete guide to probiotics, click here.
Think you need meat to fulfill your protein requirements? Think again. As The Huffington Post reported earlier this month, just a cup of lentils is loaded with 18 grams of protein (about the same amount as three ounces of steak). That means lentils have enough high quality protein to substitute for meat in your diet, Katz says. And when that protein is combined with the fiber in lentils, it becomes a "dynamic duo" for satiety, Zied explains. "Not only do they fill you up and give you the unique combination of complex carbohydrates -- essential fuel that your body and brain rely on -- and protein," she says, "but they also provide valuable vitamins and minerals including folate, manganese, thiamin, potassium and copper." They may also lower LDL (or bad cholesterol), raise HDL (good cholesterol) and lower heart disease, according to Zeid.
This breakfast superstar is a great source of soluble fiber, Diekman says -- and that means it keeps you full way past the morning hours. Oatmeal is also a proven cholesterol reducer. Oats are additionally a solid source of vitamins B1, B2 and E, and minerals zinc and iron, Politi says. Added bonus? Diekman points out that oatmeal tastes great with berries and walnuts as toppings, both of which are on the list in their own right.
This heart-healthy oil contains monounsaturated fatty acids (also known as MUFAs), which, according to experts at the Penn Institute on Aging, provide energy and keep you feeling fuller longer. MUFAs are among the so-called healthy class of fats that might lower risk of heart disease. "For instance, MUFAs may lower your total cholesterol and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels," Donald Hensrud, M.D. told the Mayo Clinic, pointing out that these fats might also help with clotting. "And some research shows that MUFAs may also benefit insulin levels and blood sugar control, which can be especially helpful if you have Type 2 diabetes." Just remember that olive oil isn't low-cal (one tablespoon has 119 calories) so stick with a drizzle to max out your benefits without overdoing it on your calorie count.
Oranges (and their other citrus cousins, like grapefruit) are a solid source of fiber, folate, antioxidants, photochemicals and, of course, vitamin C, Wixom says. And, in turn, vitamin C is important for immune function, wound healing and as an aid in iron absorption, she explains.
"Not only do they taste great, but they fill you up because of their protein and fiber content," Zied says of these little green nuts. She also points out that they make a good source of nutrients such as vitamin B6, thiamin, copper and phosphorous, as well as some potassium. Pistachios also rank high for antioxidant content, Zied says, and several studies have linked them to heart health (including new research recently published in the journal Hypertension, suggesting that the nut might reduce blood pressure when under stress).
These tasty little seeds pack a powerful punch of antioxidants to promote heart health, Forberg says. Pomegranate is also a good source of dietary fiber, folate, vitamin C and vitamin K, according to Self Nutrition Data. Forberg suggests adding them to cereal, using them to top off a salad, squeezing the juice into a cocktail or just snacking on them plain.
Potatoes get a bad rap -- and for good reason when they're fried up or slathered in butter. But in their pure form, spuds can actually find a place in a healthy diet. According to Zied, potatoes are, "rich in complex carbohydrates, relatively low in calories, and virtually free of fat, cholesterol and sodium." They're also rich in vitamin C, B and potassium -- and the skins contain dietary fiber that helps to fill you up, she explains. One small, preliminary 2011 study also found that purple potatoes might help to lower blood pressure, maybe even as much as oatmeal, USA Today reported when the findings were released.
According to Forberg, quinoa is easy to prepare and versatile -- it works in everything from breakfast to dinner. And it's healthy, to boot. Forberg calls quinoa a "powerhouse of nutrition," as well as a "complete protein." According to Self Nutrition Data, it's also a solid source of magnesium, phosphorus and especially manganese.
Cheers to this one: according to Young, red wine (and red grapes) contain resveratrol, a compound that acts as an antioxidant and might even reduce inflammation and blood clot formation. Not bad for 100 calories in a four ounce serving (just remember that experts typically define moderate drinking as one glass a day for women and two for men -- anything beyond that can cause health problems). On top of these red wine-specific perks, alcohol in general has been found to boost our good cholesterol, or HDL, Politi points out.
Salmon was perhaps one of the most popular items among our experts -- almost all of them recommended including it. As Katz puts it, this fish superstar is a "delicious source of great protein and concentrated omega 3," he says. "What more needs to be said?" Forberg explains that those omega 3s make you healthy from the inside out, promoting heart health, brain health, soft skin and shiny hair. For more on how to pick the healthiest salmon (wild vs. farmed, frozen vs. fresh, etc.), check out this piece from our partner, EatingWell.
Nutritionist and author Dr. Jonny Bowden, author of "The 150 Healthiest Foods On Earth," once told the New York Times that sardines are basically "health food in a can." These little fish (their name, in fact, means "small fish") are among the best sources of Omega-3 fats, according to Eating Well, with a full 1,950 milligrams per three ounce serving. And Omega-3s, in turn, help with blood clotting and support healthy brain function, among other health benefits. Sardines also pack a healthy punch of niacin, calcium, protein, vitamin D, vitamin B12, phosphorus and selenium. Added bonus? HuffPost blogger Dr. Andrew Weil points out on his website that because sardines are closer to the bottom of the food chain, they don't have the same contaminants found in larger fish.
"This is my favorite low-calorie food for when I'm craving something salty and crunchy," Heather Bauer says. She explains that it's packed with vitamin C, vitamin D, calcium and iodine, which helps to regulate and maintain the health of the thyroid. According to an article last year in Science Daily, researchers have targeted seaweed, which has been eaten for centuries in other parts of the world, as a possible rich source of bioactive peptides: Maria Hayes and colleagues Ciarán Fitzgerald, Eimear Gallagher and Deniz Tasdemir note increased interest in using bioactive peptides, now obtained mainly from milk products, as ingredients in so-called functional foods. Those foods not only provide nutrition, but have a medicine-like effect in treating or preventing certain diseases. Seaweed is low-cal, too -- most brands have fewer than 50 calorie per package, according to Bauer. For more on the nutrition benefits of various types, click over to this list from Oprah.com.
"This delicacy has been shown to lower cholesterol and improve the immune response," says Fitzgerald. "Shiitake contains a compound lentinan, which has been found to have powerful anti-cancer properties." Lentinan is believed to stop or slow tumor growth, according to the American Cancer Society. At least one clinical trial found lentinan, in conjunction with chemotherapy, helped stomach and colorectal cancer patients live longer. Animal studies, such as a study in mice that found lentinan in high purity reduced the size of colon cancer tumors, have shown even more promising results, according to the ACS.
While the taste can take some adjusting to if you're used to a richer milk, the fat-free variety is "low in calories while rich in several nutrients that are low in many Americans' diets," says Johnson, like calcium, vitamin D and potassium. And a recent study found that people who eat and drink low-fat dairy products, including skim milk, have a lower stroke risk than people who eat high-fat dairy foods.
This leafy green, along with kale (also on our list), is rich in antioxidants lutein and zeaxanthin, which keep eyesight sharp, says Joy Bauer. It's also full of vitamin A and packs a serious calcium punch, with 245 milligrams in a cup of the cooked stuff, almost as much as a glass of milk. A half-cup of cooked, fresh spinach also contains 3.2 milligrams of iron -- more than beef -- according to the CDC. (Keep in mind, however, that non-heme sources of iron don't absorb as easily, so eat your spinach with some vitamin-C-rich foods to make them more bioavailable.)
These sweet red berries are low in calories and rich in fiber, says Johnson. Plus, they are packed with vitamin C: one serving (147 grams) contains over 86 milligrams -- more than an orange and even more than one day's recommended amount, she says. Strawberries have also been linked to slower cognitive decline in older adults and may protect the stomach in a way that could be used to treat stomach ulcers.
"An ideal addition to salads to provide a different flavor, they have a great nutty taste that'll add some kick to your greens," says Heather Bauer. "They're loaded with health-boosting components such as chlorophyll, antioxidants and vitamin D for bone and muscle health. In addition, they contain tons of digestive enzymes, crucial for GI health." Sprouts in general may fight certain cancers, help with menopause symptoms and lower cholesterol, among other benefits, according to the Times Of India. However, they have taken some heat for possible involvement in recent outbreaks of food-borne illnesses.
"Sweet potatoes boast vitamin A and beta carotene, which makes them effective weapons to help keep your immune system strong," says Zied. They're also a good source of fiber, folate and potassium, adds Wixom. They can additionally give your skin a boost. Beta carotene jumpstarts skin cell production, helping repair damage and leaving you looking silkier. But don't confuse them with yams. Turns out, the two aren't even related. In most cases, the orangey starch you're used to seeing labels "yams" is just a sweet potato by the wrong name.
Full of vitamin C and low in calories, tomatoes are also "rich in lycopene, which may help fight cancer," says Young. Lycopene, a fat-soluble nutrient, has been shown to help fight prostate, lung and stomach cancers in particular, according to the ACS.
"Known for its significant anti-inflammatory properties, this root may provide relief for those with arthritis," says Fitzgerald, as well as diabetes, allergies and Alzheimer's. "The anti-cancer properties of this popular Indian spice are impressive." Among those properties: University of Texas studies found that curcumin, the main component of turmeric, stopped skin cancer growth and slowed the spread of breast cancer to the lungs. It may also increase the effectiveness of chemotherapy and radiation. Plus, spices in general are smarter ways to add flavor to dishes than adding salt or fat.
While you might think of sardines or salmon first when you consider healthy, fatty fish, tuna is not to be forgotten. It's a smart source of iron, protein and omega 3's, which keep your brain functioning properly and reduce the risk of heart problems, among other benefits. Just be sure to look for albacore tuna that's been troll- or pole-caught in the U.S. or British Columbia. EatingWell reported smaller, younger fish are usually caught this way, and typically have lower levels of mercury or other unwelcome contaminants. (Albacore is the light-colored tuna most often found in cans.)
These nuts are "the one nut that is a good source of omega-3 oil," says Katz, notably alpha linolenic acid (ALA), which has been linked to decreasing inflammation. They also contain fiber and an array of vitamins, he adds, plus protein Young points out. "Walnuts made history in 2004 when they became the first food that the FDA allowed to make a qualified health claim," says Fitzgerald. "Supportive but not conclusive research shows that eating 1.5 ounces of walnuts per day, as part of a low-saturated-fat and low-cholesterol diet, and not resulting in increased caloric intake, may reduce the risk of coronary heart disease."
Don't underestimate the power of a simple glass of water. Soaking up 91 ounces (women) or 125 ounces (men) a day keeps skin smooth and memory sharp, protects the joints and can even help you shed those couple extra pounds. Not to mention, the body couldn't perform a number of key processes without H20. "Water helps the body digest food, absorb nutrients from food and then get rid of the unused waste," according to experts from the Penn Instutute on Aging. They also point out you don't only have to drink it -- there is plenty of water in high-water-content foods like watermelon and cucumbers and in other liquids, too. And did we mention it's the only food or drink with absolutely zero calories?
"Black, green and white teas contain antioxidants called flavonoids that studies suggest may have strong anti-inflammatory and immune boosting properties, be protective against certain cancers, cardiovascular disease and diabetes," says Heller. "Just don't load your tea up with sugar and cream!" White tea in particular may have a more powerful anticancer punch, according to WebMD. That may be at least in part due to its higher concentration of antioxidants compared to green tea, Katz explains. "Green tea is made from the mature leaves; white tea from the buds before the leaves unfold," he says. White tea's anti-inflammatory properties may also help reduce wrinkles and fight rheumatoid arthritis, according to a 2009 study.

Post subject: Week 12 Mock
Mock Draft #2
I volunteer these as tribute. That's apparently how it's done around here. If Riot Punch wants to help me out then I won't complain.
Robert Woods (WR-USC)
Woods came into the year as the number one receiver in the class but several things have hurt his stock. His teammate, Marqise Lee, has emerged as the (or one of the) best receiver in the country, and an ankle injury has slowed Woods up somewhat which has hurt his ability to do the things he did so well the year before. Its not insane to think that the Packers may be out Jennings, Finley, and Driver heading into next year. I dont think anybody will question the wisdom of keeping Aaron well-armed, so Im choosing to go receiver here.
Woods is a great route runner and has really impressive speed when healthy. Hes experienced in a pro-style offense and does a great job finding holes in a zone, especially for a guy whos only been in college for three years. Hes scary with the ball in his hand in the open space and has experience playing all over the field in the USC offense, which should help ease his transition into the complex Packers offense. I sympathize with the DC who has to come up with a way to stop Jordy/Jones/Cobb/Woods. To my knowledge it isnt possible, assuming that Woods develops like many think he will.
Travis Fredrick (C-Wisconsin)
Theres something to be said for being able to run the football. Evan Dietrich-Smith is a decent player but I like him a lot more as a guy that can swing all along the interior rather than a starter. Saturday may be playing better recently but he still is going to struggle against elite players because his body doesnt have it anymore.
Fredrick is a big dude at 64 340, and while he may not be the quickest guy around, hes going to give you a really solid anchor piece to set the pocket around. Hes got enough technique to angle and play the run game when you take his drive skills into account. If I were Ted Thompson Id be looking to build the running game up, and it starts with a big MOFO with a bad attitude on the interior. We havent been able to run the ball down peoples throats for a long time, and I think theres a part of McCarthys brain that really misses it. Fredrick would be the first guy with elite drive skills taken by Ted and I think its time that guy was selected.
CJ Fiedorowicz (TE-Iowa)
Fiedorowiczs 67 265 pounds from the University of Iowa, and he blocks like it. There isnt a good run blocking Tight End on this Packers roster. Andrew Quarless has improved from terrible to adequate over the course of his time with the team and Tom Crabtree also isnt bad, but at 245 pounds is more H-back than old-school Tight End.
Scary thing about Fido is that hes actually a pretty good athlete and receiver when he gets the chance. He was a really good basketball player in high school before Iowa convinced him to choose football over basketball for college. His stats are pretty mediocre but thats more because hes asked to stay in to block rather than a failing on his part. At worst hes an excellent special teams contributor and contributes as a blocker, at best he has Gronk type upside.
Daniel McCullers (NT-Tennessee)
McCullers is a mutant. Hes 68, 370 pounds, and can actually move a little bit. He has trouble with conditioning, as one would expect from a man his size but when hes fresh hes pretty damn scary. In college he doesnt sit very often because him at 50% is still better than the backup at 100%, but with the Packers we would be able to cycle him through and keep him at the top of his game. Hes pretty raw yet, b0ut the insane size and strength still has him giving SEC offensive lines fits. Hes the only person Ive seen all year thats given Chance Warmack and Barret Jones trouble. Admittedly, it was only in the first quarter before he got worn down, but both of Alabamas first round picks got moved backwards on several plays.
Hes a replacement for Pickett in the long term, but pretty much every one of our Defensive Lineman will be free agents shortly, so getting some new blood inked at the position for a while might be something that interests Ted.
Micah Hyde (DB-Iowa)
Its going to be a sad day when Woodson hangs up the spikes, and sadly that day is closer than its ever been. Thats not to say that Hyde is going to replace Woodson, because hes not, but there are parts of Hydes game that could replace what were losing with Woodson.
Hyde in some ways is similar to Hayward as a prospect. Both were primarily zone guys that were a bit slow to be considered elite prospects. Hyde is much better in run support, and Hayward was a better ballhawk. The attribute that is going to make or break Hyde as a prospect and as an NFL player is his ability to play man. Neither Hayward nor Hyde played much man in college but Hayward showed he had the short area quickness to do it in the pre-draft season. It will be interesting to see if Hyde does the same. If he does hes an easy candidate for a guy that NFL GMs are going to be mad at themselves for letting slip.
James Hurst (OL-UNC)
Im not really sure where James Hurst fits on the Packers, but Im pretty damn sure that we could use another lineman considering that were a minor injury away from hitting the panic button. It very well could be a waste of a pick considering you only suit up 7 and Newhouse/Sherrod and EDS will probably be the non-starters but with how bad weve been hit this year having a guy who can handle 4 of 5 is a major boon for this team.
Hurst isnt ever going to be a pro bowler. He may very well not even be an average starter, but he strikes me as the type that can get you out of the game if the world falls apart. Hes smart and has adequate movement skills as well as drive power. He just doesnt seem like a guy whos going to develop into anything more than that. Its a luxury pick at this point but thats one of the benefits of being in the position as a team that we are.
Michael Dyer (RB-Nowhere/Arkansas Baptist College)
Michael Dyer had a really impressive two years at Auburn before disciplinary issues sidelined him for the Chick-fil-A Bowl in his sophomore year. He was released from scholarship when he admitted in the trial of another man that his gun was used in a robbery and that he had used marijuana. Before he could play a game at Arkansas State he was pulled over, in a disturbing traffic stop, for going 25 MPH over the speed limit with marijuana and a gun in the car. He was kicked off the Arkansas State football team and ended up at Arkansas Baptist College, where he is not playing football instead working to earn an associate degree and get his life turned around. I think weve got the locker room that can help him get it right.
The Packers have a lot of bodies at Running Back. Alex Green is a nice piece who does his best work as a blocker and receiver with hope that hell develop some of his rushing skills. Starks is a decent enough runner when hes motivated but is inconsistent. Benson is an alright back who gets whats blocked for him but isnt a big play threat. The Packers dont have a franchise back, and were not really looking to invest the pick to lock one up. This is a risk that could have a huge reward as Dyer is crazy talented.
Hes not much of a blocker, and he caught a total of 3 passes in his college career, but if hes half the player he was at Auburn then hes the most talented runner in this class especially since Lattimores knee blew up. His acceleration is totally ridiculous, his vision is excellent, and hes unbelievably slippery with surprising power. If Dyer hits he becomes a huge part of the Packers running game.
Marquess Wilson (WR-Nowhere/Washington State)
Wilson is a late round prospect who is no longer playing for WASU for reports that are varied. Some say he quit, others say that he was kicked off of the team. What everyone agrees on is that he clashed badly with the coaching staff and terrible QB play after two successful seasons. If the departures on offense are as rough as expected we could use a few more WRs to fight for spots in TC.
Wilsons a big receiver whos not real quick but he managed to get open quite a bit at the college level. Hes got amazing hands and is great at going up for contested balls. No guarantee he makes the team but there are much worse guys to take a seventh round flier on. I like him a lot as a late round possession guy.
Jalston Fowler (FB-Alabama)
Fowler came to Alabama as a power back but ended up buried behind Ingram and Richardson and Lacy and Yeldon. Hes a real football player whos changed his game to compliment the team and turned himself into a really solid blocker. He did a good job plowing open holes on the occasion that Saban decided to line up in an I formation, did a good job keeping McCarron clean and contributed on special teams and as a short yardage back. Hes out for the year with a knee injury but when hes healthy hes effective enough in all facets that Im willing to spend a compensatory 7th on a Fullback.
Im not a fan of John Kuhn. Hes supposed to be a weapon out of the backfield but there isnt much there. Hes nothing as a receiver and as a runner hes only good for short yardage plays. Everytime he sees the field he takes a real weapon off the field and he contributes very little to the running game. Hes not athletic enough to contribute along the edges and hes not strong enough to contribute up the middle. Im ready to move on, especially when you take into account his salary.
The emphasis was definitely on the offense in this mock. 2 WR, 2 OL, 1 RB, 1 TE, and 1 FB is the total haul on offense.Last year we went defense almost exclusively, this year I'm feeling offense, and specifically the running game.
Frederick, Dyer, Fiedorowicz, and Fowler are all players selected specifically to boost the run game. Some will say that that's a waste of time when the MVP of the NFL is lined up under center, but I think Aaron may break EVERY passing record ever if he could work with decent play action. Some may not like the fits, specifically Dyer and Frederick, but I think those guys fit better at their value slot than anybody else.

LOVE LOVE LOVE the first 3 picks.
Woods- Great fit in this offense, very good after the catch. The guy has kept quiet and working hard even though they demoted him and promoted Lee. He doesn't appear to have a diva attitude. Love that.
Fredrick- Think he fits with the guys up front and adds a little nasty. Let him sit a year to get the mental part of playing center down.
I love the way Big Fiedo plays the game. Complete TE!

The Three Faces of Fedora 11, Part 3: Xfce
I have to confess that in writing this blog item about Xfce on Fedora 11, I've had divine inspiration. I mean, really divine inspiration, as in as high on the divinity food chain as you can get.
Jesus wants everyone to use Xfce. He said so here on my Facebook page two days ago:
So who am I to argue with the Son of God?
And you might think this is the last word on this — He would, of course — but bear in mind you're dealing with Larry the Free Software Guy, who always tries to get in the last word.
So while Jesus and other diety are paying attention to Texas or Iran or something else, I'll try to get this in: Fedora 11 using Xfce 4.6 — say it with me here — is probably designed for older machines and/or machines that may not have as much memory as newer ones. But I'll go one further: F11 with Xfce absolutely flies on machines that are not so old, like this one, even after adding a whole plethora of software and running multiple programs at the same time (like, say, OpenOffice, Gimp, Firefox, Bluefish and Tux Paint all open in one desktop, all performing as if none of the others were open).
Those of you who are regular readers of this blog — those two or three of you outside my family — know that I've always been a big fan of Xfce. Herding old hardware like I do, it's normally what works when 256MB is as high as you can go and you want ol' Bessie to actually be able to do something. So imagine putting this lightweight desktop on something more substantial, hardware wise, and it's like putting a 426 Hemi in a golf cart.
Of all the things native to Xfce that are of special note, two stand out: Ristretto, which is a lightening-quick image viewer, and Mousepad, which is like Leafpad but can actually print (I'd certainly like that afternoon back where I tried to print something from Leafpad, but that's another story). It accompanies the usual array of solid, steady Xfce programs like the Thunar file manager and the ubiquitous calendar Orage.
Think of the Xfce desktop as I do: Like a racing car, it has only what is necessary to make it go, and in this case, go fast; no extras and no frills. If you want the bells and whistles and "optional features" like a luggage rack and the chrome trim, you may want to use another desktop. But Fedora 11 using Xfce certainly takes the checkered flag.
Tomorrow we'll take a brief look at the "fourth face" of the Three Faces of Fedora 11 — LXDE — and have a wrap-up.
[Whew. Got that in before the Son of God had a chance to render me completely mute and speechle

June 18, 2009 at 2:36 pm
Since I read this does it make me part of the family?
I keep coming back to Mint6 XFCE for the same reasons.
Fedora11 gnome was a little unstable on my IBM T41. Although I could tell that the video drivers were improved.
Now I'm going to have to go back and download the XCFE version.
Keep publishing, more than 3 of my family members read my missives and that alone was astonishing.
June 18, 2009 at 3:14 pm
What does the Mother of Jesus use?
June 18, 2009 at 5:06 pm
Larry, this has been a nice series of entries on F11 — I've been waiting for your review, and I'm glad to see it.
I'm a huge fan of Xfce, even though I've been using GNOME in Ubuntu 8.04 a whole lot more than I ever thought I would.
I have a Debian Lenny box set up with Xfce, and I'm contemplating an extended test of it. It doesn't have NetworkManager on it, and I think I can get my networking configured better in the text files than with the GNOME app.
One of the things I miss from OpenBSD (where I used Xfce as my main desktop) was the networking. Some of it is familiarity, but when networking works in OpenBSD, it works better. One of the great things in OpenBSD is that you can plug and unplug NICs while the system is running, and the box will detect them and pretty much get them working. I'm having more trouble in Ubuntu, and I hope that doing a manual configuration (which I think requires me to rip out NetworkManager) will solve some of my problems …
June 19, 2009 at 9:42 am
You did well, my son. I wish you had spent more time covering how fast Xfce is, but I suppose that being your primary point a mere two or three times will have to suffice.
Speed is important in Heaven, because nothing short of your lives are on the line. Your prayers come in via a RSS feed, which is parsed and sorted according to the severity of your sins or requests, with the final notes being dropped in one of several inboxes in Thunderbird. If I had to wait for a flashy component of Metacity or a window outline in KDE before getting to a message that family of four in the minivan might not receive the Heavenly intervention they need within the short time they have left!
On top of that, due to colossal money mismanagement by God since the dawn of time (seriously, my dad has NO financial sense), most of Heaven's infrastructure is spliced together from old parts. Several of the Angel dorms are still running Netware 3.11 over ARCNET, for instance. Perhaps if you could write a post requesting that people tithe we might be able to get a couple of new machines up here!
June 21, 2009 at 7:23 pm
Blasphemy! Madness! SPARTA! I wasn't mentioned 😦
Also, ol' Bessie runs a custom debootstrapped image loop-mounted and shared over NFS, then PXE booted (or she would if I got my filthy hands on her. I need those 10 MB disks for the computer history museum.)
July 24, 2009 at 4:41 pm
I have been having frequent system lockups with F11 and XFCE after upgrading from F10 and Gnome . . is it likely it is XFCE?
October 5, 2009 at 4:45 am
I installed the F11 live cd on two systems. But they both booted up into KDE. How do I switch to XFCE?

Williston man dies following traffic crash
Published: Monday, January 28, 2013 at 10:59 a.m.
Last Modified: Monday, January 28, 2013 at 10:59 a.m.
A Williston man has died following a crash in which his car rear-ended another vehicle on State Road 121 in Williston.
Police learned Sunday that Tyars Kimula Griffin, 32, had died at Shands at the University of Florida, according to a news release from the Williston Police Department.
On Tuesday, the other vehicle had slowed down to make a left turn. Griffin rear-ended the vehicle, and later told a police officer he didn't see it until it was too late.
"The driver was responsive and alert when he left the accident scene by ambulance and was transported to Shands Hospital for treatment of his injuries," the news release states.
The cause of death was not immediately known, and an autopsy was planned to determine if Griffin's death was a result of the accident.

HUNTSVILLE, Ala. – The Saint Leo men's basketball team woke up in their hotel room for the first morning of what will hopefully be a long stay in Huntsville, Ala. It was a Thursday that featured an early-morning wake-up call, a flight to Nashville, Tenn. and a two-hour trip into Huntsville. The day finished with a late practice at a local high school as the Lions began to acclimate to their new city. As the long day came to an end and the Lions settled into their rooms, many thought back and reflected upon the journey to the Lions' first-ever NCAA Tournament berth.
So how did Saint Leo Men's Basketball, a program that was considered a non-contender in many basketball circles for many decades, come to earn a spot in the 'Big Dance' and turn so many heads in just a short amount of time?
As the Lions spend Friday meeting, watching film, and practicing for their first-round matchup with Florida Tech on Saturday night, here is the timeline of a journey and amazing turnaround that is one for the history books:
- February 29, 2011 – http://www.saintleolions.com/sports/mbkb/2010-11/releases/20110714vnoy65 The Lions finish the 2010-11 season 12-16 overall and 2-14 in the Sunshine State Conference after an 85-70 win over Barry. Just the Lions' second victory in 11 games, Saint Leo Men's Basketball is a program that finished last in the SSC regular season, will not qualify for the conference tournament, has no coaching staff, and has a questionable future with just three players remaining on the roster.
- April 8, 2011 - http://saintleolions.com/sports/mbkb/2010-11/releases/20110714vzch10 After nearly a two-month long national search, Saint Leo University announces that Lance Randall, former Webster University head coach and Wisconsin coaching icon, is taking the reins of the Lions' men's basketball program. It will be his task to turn the Lions into a contender. Randall -"I am looking forward to the challenges that await as we work towards building a championship program steeped in the core values of Saint Leo University."
- June 17, 2011 - http://saintleolions.com/sports/mbkb/2010-11/releases/20110714rehotg Randall begins to assemble his coaching staff. Announcing Division I standout J.R. Blount, from Loyola University in Chicago, has joined his coaching staff.
- July 15, 2011 - http://saintleolions.com/sports/mbkb/2011-12/releases/20110803ap1e61 The first pieces of the puzzle begin to come together as Randall unveils his incoming freshman. Taylor Bassett, Cale Girten and Angel Gonzalez joined the Lions as first-year players in August.
- August 5, 2011 - http://saintleolions.com/sports/mbkb/2011-12/releases/20110805iac6t6 Looking back, probably the most important article of the year at that point. The announcing of additions Shaun Adams, Jerrel Harris, Derik Hawkey, Tom Neary and Marcus Ruh. While Jerrel will eventually redshirt, the others will play a big part in the turnaround. Ruh eventually named All-SSC First-Team and All-Newcomer team.
- September 12, 2011 - http://saintleolions.com/sports/mbkb/2011-12/releases/20110912yn8asc The final additions to the rebuilt team. Trent Thomas and Sven Sabljak transfer to Saint Leo. Thomas eventually is named SSC Newcomer of the Year and All-SSC First-Team.
- October 13, 2011 - http://saintleolions.com/sports/mbkb/2011-12/releases/201110138820lw The 2011-12 Schedule is announced in tandem with the annual Moonlight Madness celebration. "We have a very challenging schedule that includes three NCAA Division I opponents on the road and many games against traditionally nationally ranked teams," Randall said. "In order to reach our goals as a program, I feel it is in our best interest to compete against the best in the country. This is as difficult a non-conference schedule as there is in the region. We are excited about these rigorous tests that await."
- November 11, 2011 - http://saintleolions.com/sports/mbkb/2011-12/releases/RSEN_Partnership Rocket Sports & Entertainment Network joins the Lions broadcasting efforts. RSEN will produce live broadcasts of 14 Saint Leo University Lions men's basketball regular season home games that will be broadcast over WDCF 1350am in Dade City, Fla. Rick 'The Rocket' Sassone and 'The Coach' Mike Madagan eventually expand the coverage into the postseason, including Tournament games in Alabama.
- November 11, 2011 - http://saintleolions.com/sports/mbkb/2011-12/releases/201111128ycmmm Finally! The brand-new Saint Leo men's basketball team takes to the hardwood for the first time in 2011-12 as they post a 64-53 win over Southeastern.
- November 15, 2011 - http://saintleolions.com/sports/mbkb/2011-12/releases/20111115b1o41p The Lions' first tough test is passed when they defeat regional powerhouse Valdosta State 69-51 in front of almost 3,000 spectators in Georgia.
- November 26, 2011 - http://saintleolions.com/sports/mbkb/2011-12/releases/20111126x87eyv The Lions break a 26 year old record when they defeat Trinity 118-50. It is a point total the Lions have not reached in a win since 1984.
- December 13, 2011 - http://saintleolions.com/sports/mbkb/2011-12/releases/20111214prnpzv The Lions travel to New Orleans, La. and battle with the University of New Orleans. While the Lions cannot sneak away with a victory, the Lions get an opportunity to play in a large arena and travel long-distance. It is an experience that Coach Randall will later reference as helpful for their trip to Huntsville.
- January 4, 2012 - http://saintleolions.com/sports/mbkb/2011-12/releases/2012010428s9e0 The Lions open up the New Year by blasting arch-rival Tampa 63-45 on the road. The first conference win of the year.
- February 4, 2012 - http://saintleolions.com/sports/mbkb/2011-12/releases/20120205532yj8 Saint Leo bounces SSC-leading Florida Tech to begin record-setting nine-game win streak. After the win, the Lions would be 10-10 overall and 4-6 in the SSC. They would not lose again in the regular season. Randall - "It was a gutsy performance and a much-needed win."
- February 15, 2012 - http://saintleolions.com/sports/mbkb/2011-12/releases/201202162qvi60 Lions sweep Florida Southern for the first time in the series' history. The 75-72 road win marked the first time since their first meeting on January 16, 1967, that Saint Leo swept the regular season contests after Dominick Robinson hit a three-pointer with time winding down to win the first meeting 60-57 back on January 11.
- February 20, 2012 - http://saintleolions.com/sports/mbkb/2011-12/releases/201202204p2f54 Marcus Ruh earns the team's first SSC Player of the Week Award after he shot 60 percent from the field and 88 percent at the free throw line to send the Lions to an undefeated week. The Lions' win streak (up to five at that time) had guaranteed their first winning season since 1997-98.
- February 25, 2012 - http://saintleolions.com/sports/mbkb/2011-12/releases/20120225idy9h5 Exactly two months after Christmas the Lions open up their best present yet, the opportunity to host their first-ever postseason home game after a 61-56 win on the road at Barry.
- February 29, 2012 - http://saintleolions.com/sports/mbkb/2011-12/releases/20120301a9a95e Lions cruise to home playoff win over Nova Southeastern. The win-streak is now at eight games.
- March 3, 2012 - http://saintleolions.com/sports/mbkb/2011-12/releases/20120303piqa9v Behind Trent Thomas's 30-point night, Saint Leo advances to its first Sunshine State Conference Tournament Championship game since 1986 after a 73-67 win over Eckerd.
- March 4, 2012 - http://saintleolions.com/sports/mbkb/2011-12/releases/20120304axiu0c The Lions drop the SSC Tournament Championship game to Florida Southern 61-58. Solidifying the turnaround of the program, the majority of the almost 900 spectators were those clad in Green and Gold as they dominated the tempo inside the Jenkins Field House, Florida Southern's home gym.
- March 4, 2012 - http://youtu.be/WCoZwpMcrdg The Lions learn of their first-ever bid to the NCAA Tournament in an unofficial gathering in the Bowman Center.
- March 5, 2012 - http://www.saintleolions.com/sports/mbkb/2011-12/releases/20120305c06hjp The Lions learn they will face Florida Tech in the first-round of the NCAA Tournament.
The Saint Leo University men's basketball team continues their historic journey on Saturday, March 10, when they square off against Florida Tech in the first round of the South Region Tournament. Tip-off against the Panthers is set for 9:30 p.m. Fans will be able to catch all of the action live at saintleolions.com.

Deer Lake resident Richard Dewey is frustrated by what he perceives as a lack of action to resolve the flooding in his neighbourhood.
The decade-old problem of flooded properties and homes in the Elizabeth Avenue, Garden Road and Devon Road areas has reached a stage where it appears the Town of Deer Lake is working in co-operation with Kruger Inc. and the province to find a resolve.
The problem, which council records show dates back at least to the 1970s, is possibly linked to leaking weirs or seepage from the bottom of Deer Lake canal, according to residents.
The town is waiting on documentation pertaining to the weirs from Kruger Inc., the owner of Deer Lake Power which is responsible for the canal.
The province has already had an engineer visit the site and last week the minister agreed to have officials continue to work with the company and town. Acting Environment and Conservation Minister Terry French said the province will help with an assessment of the area.
Deer Lake Mayor Dean Ball said the town has been receiving the co-operation it needs, but the process will take some time to complete.
For Dewey, who has been contending with mould issues in his home, said that is just not good enough.
"It's been since 1976, so how much time do they need?" he asked. "Get feet on the ground here and let people know they are doing something. Right now, nobody sees anything happening, but they all say they are working on it."
Residents have asked for a trench to be dug to redirect or stop the flow of water toward their properties. Dewey remains adamant this will resolve the situation.
"There is absolutely no doubt in my mind," he said.
"I have walked it, there's water coming out of the edge of that bank that is not tagged as weirs. There are brooks up there that are not numbered or monitored. They all come downhill, right toward us."

Using the rtl8187 driver may be so slow that addresses arent even handed out, to check if this applies to you simply issueif you can now see rtl8187 try flipping over to r8187.Code:airmon-ng
Now at the bottom hash the r8187 driver (add a # with no space, i.e. #r8187), and beneath it add "rtl8187", without quotes, this will blacklist the rtl8187 driver and use the r8187 driver. Below is an exampleCode:kate /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist
Now save the file and close.Code:blacklist snd_pcsp blacklist rt73 blacklist ath_pci #blacklist r8187 blacklist rtl8187
Now remove you device/s that were using the rtl8187 driver and enter the commands below before plugging it back in.
Now when you issueCode:modprobe -r rtl8187 modprobe r8187you should see the device is now using the r8187 driver instead.Code:airmon-ng
The r8187 driver is much much better for internet use, than the rtl8187, also now if you choose to, (do not hold me responsible for any damages or any legality issues), you may turn on high power mode by issuingyou may now use iwconfig to boost power up to it`s maximum by issuingCode:iwpriv "dev" highpower 1"dev" of coarse being the name of the device using the driver i.e. wlan0Code:iwconfig "dev" txpower 35
I see alot of people complaining about MITM attacks being slow, or sslstrip slowing down the network, well I can use 2 alfa awus036h for this attack, and connected clients can browse at full speeds using the r8187 driver. Give this a go and tell me if anything improves, also you may want to fire up the script, get to the end of it and then choose y, to make airssl clean up, after that try running it again in exactly the same way, sometimes this works for me, if the script plays up.

Now it really works great now
Thanks a lot
I did a fair bit of experimenting with this script today and here are my experiences.
If you are running module rtl8187 then you need to add the bit where you start airmon-ng and change fakeap_interface to mon0. This is because when wlan0 (the wifi device that creates the fake ap) goes into monitor mode it creates a new device called mon0. If you are running r8187 then this device is not created: wlan0 goes into monitor mode, no new devices are created.
There is some outstanding issue with blank network names being created. On a macbook with a wifi dongle the network appeared with no name, but I was able to connect, get an IP address and everything worked. With my iPhone I can actually see the network named properly but I can not get an IP address. On a Windows XP machine the name is corrupted, usually it never shows up but sometimes the name appears as a series of boxes. If this happens then I can connect and get an IP address. So there appears to be an issue with creating the fake AP. I wonder if it is related to the -y switch in airbase-ng. There seems to be some discussion around the Internet about this, I could not get it to make a difference though with a lot of experimenting.
I am using the r8187 module, a alfa for the fake AP, and using eth0 for the Internet connection.
I have been playing with this script and tryint to get it to work with my rtl8187. I followed the tut in the post a couple of posts up, in regards to blacklisting the RTL8187 and using the r8187 instead.
The process was sucesfull but the output was not. All wireless connections then shows a -1% strength within Wcid.
I believe this may be the key to unlocking a consistant internet connection with the RTL8187, so if anyone can give me a hand it would be great. My internet connections are so rediculous sometimes that it makes me want to pull my hair out.
I am running Backtrack 4 R1 and a RTL8187 wlan chipset which has no problems injecting packets into networks on the brink of its wifi coverage. I find it to be strange.
IMPORTANT This post only applies to airssl 1.0, ignore this post if using 2.0
I do however strongly advise against using this script with an RTL8187 chipset based dongle, running the RTL8187 driver. Please refer to POST 31.
Also, this is why I mention cleaning up and restarting the script, the problem should be eliminated the second go round, i have a little idea on how to fix this problem without causing mess, ill do it soon as I get a moment.

Excuse me if I mis-read but I am sensing a bit of hostility in your response.
1) I agree you shouldn't hard code mon0 into the script, especially when it is caused by using rtl8187. I repeated it only to show what I saw not to stress that you should be doing something about it.
2) Yea, rtl8187 stinks, don't use that thing.
3) No, you shouldn't necessarily fix airbase-ng, but this thread is populated with quite a few people having issues so further discussing our findings should be useful discussion. We might be seeing the same issue as has been reported to aircrack-ng (http://trac.aircrack-ng.org/ticket/535)

Hi killadaninja, first of all, thanks for making this script.
However, I've run into some troubles.
The client can't get an IP address.
Here's my config
I had some trouble with : access denied (*)/dh..pid. Fixed by chmodding /var/usrRouter: Netgear (dhcp enabled)
interface connected to internet : eth0 wired
fakeap interface : wlan0 (mon0, I added the two lines from a post in this thread)
Client : alfa 036h, win7
Attacker : agn 4965 on my laptop
Sometimes I get ...at0 : wrong network in DHCP window.DHCP :
DHCPDISCOVER from {client mac} at at0
DHCPOFFER on 10.0.0.20 to {client mac} (cod9-PC) via at0
I tried your script with a internal broadcom b43 and usb awus036h rtl8187, it didn't work.
I tried the rtl8187 mod in post 31. Then it all worked with no problems.
Question is, does the rtl8187 mod apply only to your script? or does it apply in general to all BT4 apps?
I never had to modify it before, and with the mod, my wicd power levels show -1
Its not a big deal, but just wondering...

There have been very few occasions in my lifetime where I can say I was astounded by the selflessness of my neighbors. We live in a society where helping others is often not a priority.
I hope that now will be one of those occasions where I am astounded by the generosity of the people in Chiefland. Through May 11 we will be accepting donations at the front office of Chiefland High School for those affected by the tornados in Alabama.

INTERVIEW: Tattoo Stories with Demi Lovato
After releasing her fourth album last year and taking over the world on her "Neon Lights Tour," Demi Lovato is ready to do it again with her "Demi Lovato World Tour." The trek is set to kick off in September, and tickets are on sale now.
[Click here to get "Demi Lovato World Tour" tickets]
Demi has topped charts all over the world and includes several hit singles including "Heart Attack" which was certified 2x Platinum in the U.S. and became her fastest-selling single.
The singer's latest single off the album "Really Don't Care," which she recently released the music video for, is on the fast track to success. The celeb-packed video showcases Demi's support for the LGBT community filmed partially at the Los Angeles Pride Parade, and features stars like Perez Hilton, Kat Graham, Wilmer Valderrama, Travis Barker, and more.
Check out the new music video for "Really Don't Care" featuring. Cher Lloyd below!
[Buy "Really Don't Care" on iTunes]
If there's one thing about Demi her Lovatics know, it's that she has plenty of ink. Demi recently stopped by iHeartRadio where she showed us all of her tats, and it turns out, each work of art - in ink - has a meaningful story behind it!
Check out Tattoo Stories with Demi Lovato below:
Demi tells us she was only 16 when she got her first tattoo, and now she has a countless amount. We asked her how many she has now, and she says, "Well, it's difficult because it's like I lost count. It's difficult because, like do you count the 'Stay' and 'Strong?' Do you count the individual birds? And then I have feathers connected to an old tattoo. So I have no idea. I have a lot. It could be 10. It could be 26!"
That's A LOT of ink! But Demi tells us it wasn't too painful for her. She says, "I have a very, very high pain tolerance. So even with my first tattoo, it's on my ribs which is supposed to be like a really sensitive area, I was like trying not to squirm because I was ticklish."
She tells us the tats that hurt the most are on her fingers. "I have finger tattoos. It says 'Rock and roll' and 'Peace,' and that one hurt."
On her first tattoo:
"First tattoo I ever got was song lyrics and they're on my ribs. It says, 'You make me beautiful.' And it's a Christian song, so some people are like, "Who's that for?" And I'm like, "No, it's for God." (Laughs). I was 16. And I got it in some tattoo artist's apartment. Like it was so sketch, it was in L.A. But I wanted to get tattooed so bad. I do things out of rebellion. So that was like one of the main reasons why I got it so young."
On the Africa tattoo on her arm:
"The last tattoo that I got was two at the same time - which is kind of how I like to do it. I got Africa tattooed. I went there for my 21st birthday. I went to Kenya and it was just a very, very inspirational journey that I feel like really had a huge impact on my life. And, I would've gotten Kenya but then people would have been like, "What's that?" (Laughs) So Africa's a little more distinct." .
On the Roman numerals on her wrist:
"I have the number three in Roman numerals on my wrist and that was a number that was very significant to my birth father because he loved Dale Earnhardt. So when he passed away I got the number three tattooed on me to remind me of him, and also because I love Dale Earnhardt. (Laughs). That's like the most redneck tattoo I have, by the way!"
On the "Stay Strong" on her wrists
"I think the, the most meaningful one to me is 'Stay Strong.' It was one of my first few tattoos as well. When I got out of rehab that's the first thing that I did is I went and got tattooed 'Stay Strong' because a lot of fans were telling me that and it helped me get through a rough period. so anytime that I would feel triggered to either self-harm or act out in an unhealthy behavior, I could look down at that and stay strong."
On her birds tat by Kat Von D:
"I wanted more tattoos and I'd never done anything big, and it was very impulsive of me, like the night that I got it. Literally, I had a friend who had a friend that worked with Kat Von D. And so, literally at like 4:00 p.m. my friend hits up her friend, and that guy was out of town but Kat was in town. And so I was like, 'Let's get a tattoo,' which by the way, people like book Kat way in advance! But it was so impulsive, so it was meant to be. I love the freedom that birds represent and I didn't specifically have a huge reason why I got 12 of them. But one day, one of my friends that I was at Sober Living, I was living in her Sober Living house, and they asked, 'So why'd you get ... How many did you get?' And I was like, "I don't know. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve, and I was like, 'Whoa, I didn't mean to do that.' But it's like, it was kind of like a God thing, like I worked the 12 steps, so as I got that while I was in Sober Living, apparently it was really meant to be."

WATCH: Zimmerman juror speaks out about case
(NEWSER) – The six-woman jury that found George Zimmerman not guilty started off split 50/50 on whether to convict, but those who believed he was not guilty from the start prevailed, the first juror to speak publicly about the case tells CNN. Juror B37 says she believes it was Zimmerman who was heard screaming for help in a 911 call, and all but "probably one" of the other jurors agreed. None of the jurors—five white and one Hispanic—believed race had a part in the shooting, she says. Zimmerman's "heart was in the right place" the night he killed Trayvon Martin, the juror says, but he "just got displaced by the vandalism in the neighborhoods and wanting to catch these people so badly that he went above and beyond what he really should have done."

A rainy forecast has delayed the opening of the hybrid car pool/toll lanes on the 110 Harbor Freeway in Los Angeles.
The new toll lanes - which will be a first in Los Angeles County - will not open after midnight early Saturday morning as planned, according to the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority.
Instead, the new Express Lanes might open after 10 p.m. Saturday or early Sunday morning, said Rick Jager, spokesperson for MTA or Metro.
"We are shooting for late Saturday or early Sunday," Jager said, though he did not have a definitive time or date.
The toll lanes will allow solo drivers to use the car pool lanes if they pay a toll. All drivers must have a "FasTrak" transponder to use the lanes. So far, Metro has given out 30,000 transponders to those who've opened accounts.
Metro officials say their crews have been prevented from performing the final touches to the signs along the 11-mile stretch of the 110 car pool lanes due to the threat of rain. The hybrid car poll/toll lanes stretch from the 91 Freeway to Adams Boulevard.
Coverings have yet to be taken off the overhead signs to inform motorists that the toll lanes are active, Jager said.
"We need permission from Caltrans because of the safety concern. You don't want crews out there with slick roads," Jager said.
The National Weather Service forecasts a 40 percent chance of rain for both Friday and Saturday due to a low pressure system that will bring "scattered showers and mountain snow showers through Saturday."
"We are in a wait-and-see mode," Jager said. "This is all predicated on weather conditions, on whether our crews can get out there and uncover those signs."
The Express Lanes project is part of a one-year experimental program to study congestion pricing. The second part of the experiment is scheduled for the 10 Freeway in the San Gabriel Valley in late January or early February, according to Metro.
The lanes allow solo drivers to use the car-pool lanes while paying between $0.25 to $1.40 a mile. Car poolers are free but must have a transponder. Accounts can be obtained by going to www.metroexpresslanes.net or in person at the Gardena and El Monte Metro transit offices.

This is a Touraine white made with a grape called Fié Gris. This is some kind of clone of Sauvignon. Clocks in at 13.5% alcohol, $15.99. Fermented in old 400-L barrels with (I believe) no other wood treatment.
The wine is a very light straw color. Some tiny bubbles form on the bottom of the glass, although there's no evident tingle in the mouth from CO2. Nose is shy, with a little wax, a little peach blossom. In the mouth, we have acidity dominant. There's a bit of that waxy-peach flavor, but it sits quietly behind the all-singing all-dancing tart acidity. This one won't take the white off your teeth, but it definitely falls into the "food wine" category. There's a sense of slate that goes with it and some chalkiness on the finish. The alcohol shows a bit when it warms up, but it's a worthy trade-off for bringing out a little more fruit.
Overall, a racy, interesting wine.
Addendum: I re-visited this tonight after it sat corked in the fridge for two days. If anything, the nose has become even more reticent, with little to smell. The flavors have changed a bit, though. There's now a definite herbaceous quality that betrays the grape's sauvignon roots. Still plenty of acidity but it's backed off a bit. The peach blossom fruit has become a bit more lemon-oily. Still nice stuff.
