A computed tomography (CT) scan of the lumbar spine is an imaging method that uses x-rays to create cross-sectional pictures of the lower back (lumbar spine).
CAT scan - lumbar spine; Computed axial tomography scan - lumbar spine; Computed tomography scan - lumbar spine; CT - lower back
You will be asked to lie on a narrow table that slides into the center of the CT scanner.
Once you are inside the scanner, the machine's x-ray beam rotates around you. (Modern "spiral" scanners can perform the exam without stopping.)
A computer creates separate images of the spine area, called slices. These images can be stored, viewed on a monitor, or printed on film. Three-dimensional models of the spine area can be created by stacking the slices together.
You must be still during the exam, because movement causes blurred images. You may be told to hold your breath for short periods of time.
The scan should take only 10-15 minutes.
Certain exams require a special dye, called contrast, to be delivered into the body before the test starts. Contrast helps certain areas show up better on the x-rays.
Contrast can be given in several ways.
If contrast is used, you may also be asked not to eat or drink anything for 4-6 hours before the test.
Let your doctor know if you have ever had a reaction to contrast. You may need to take medications before the test in order to safely receive this substance.
If you weigh more than 300 pounds, find out if the CT machine has a weight limit. Too much weight can cause damage to the scanner's working parts.
You will be asked to remove jewelry and wear a hospital gown during the study.
Some people may have discomfort from lying on the hard table.
Contrast given through an IV may cause a slight burning sensation, a metallic taste in the mouth, and a warm flushing of the body. These sensations are normal and usually go away within a few seconds.
CT rapidly creates detailed pictures of the lower back. The test may be used to diagnose or detect:
This test can also be used during or after an x-ray of the spinal cord and spinal nerve roots (myelography) or an x-ray of the disk (discography).
Results are considered normal if the lumbar region is normal in appearance.
Abnormal results may be due to:
Risks of CT scans include:
CT scans do expose you to more radiation than regular x-rays. Having many x-rays or CT scans over time may increase your risk for cancer. However, the risk from any one scan is small. You and your doctor should weigh this risk against the benefits of getting a correct diagnosis for a medical problem.
Some people have allergies to contrast dye. Let your doctor know if you have ever had an allergic reaction to injected contrast dye.
Rarely, the dye may cause a life-threatening allergic response called anaphylaxis. If you have any trouble breathing during the test, you should notify the scanner operator immediately. Scanners come with an intercom and speakers, so the operator can hear you at all times.
The lumbar CT scan is good for evaluating large herniated disks, but it can miss smaller ones. This test can be combined with a myelogram to get a better image of the nerve roots and pick up smaller injuries.

The app is only a dollar, available just for iPhones (sorry Androids!), and is basically the most fun ever. Tons of super sweet borders, doodles and designs, and cute fonts to play with until your picture is post-perfect. I have spent probably hours already going through everything on there.
One of the things that I really love about the app is how you can edit the filters. We all know how to slap an Instagram filter on a picture and call it a day. While the ABM app has far fewer actual filters to choose from, you have way more control on how your picture looks. You have the option to edit the contrast, brightness, and opacity. Fun!
Another really cool feature is the inclusion of tons of cute backgrounds for placing text over. This is great just for little notes you'd want to post online or even secret little love letters to text to your friends!
The only few things that I wish were different are:
- An undo button! Once you place something, it is there for good! I like to use the trail-and-error approach with adding deco to my pictures. For this, I have to completely start over..
- Ability to re-size borders. All the doodles, text, and phrases can be re-sized, twisted around, and placed however you want. The borders can be rotated, too, but you can't make it any bigger or smaller. It isn't the biggest deal, but sometimes that cute little flower wreath isn't large enough to fit around Chester's massive kitty tummy!
The app has only been out for like a DAY, seriously, so these two points aren't so much pushy, just suggestions for the next update of the application.
There are many in-game purchases for the editing categories (all for another 99 cents), and I've already downloaded three of the add-on packs. There are more cute phrases, fonts, backgrounds, borders, and doodles. However, if you don't want to go over a buck on your budget, the features included in the original download are more than enough to have fun and make cuuuute pictures.
Here are some of my creations.
My bracelet collection today. Spikes, bow, and beige studded wrap all from heartbreaker; watch from eBay, and skulls from Charlotte Russe (as well as my dress)!
Delicate new shirt! White is a scary color, and so is having intricate little laser cutouts on my woven top. We'll see how long this guy lasts in my clumsy world. I love it, though! (The little faded flowers on the border are from a different app: Snapeee, which I haven't totally figured out yet. Next review will be that!)
My not-quite-crazy arm decorations from a few days ago.
Playing with layering the doodles and text with an old picture on my phone from my trip to Japan last year. I love that fish building and I love Shinjuku!
I definitely recommend this app! Download it now, post your pics on Instagram, and tag #ABMapp to see everyone else's art. And add me on Instagram, why don't ya! I'm maddysaurus.

Turns out my kids really love sprocket pillows. They can be rolled down the hall.…jumped on…thrown down the stairs…the list goes on and on. So I had to make them their own…before mine were literally beat to pieces. I started with this cute stack of fabric Ben picked out (with some mommy editing):
Aren't those robots cute? I did a trade with Ariel (it's her own design) for it…and I'm pretty positive got the better end of the deal. After a quick sew and letting Ben do the stuffing…he ended up with a cute pillow he can play with.
So now his room has a robot pillow, pirate sheets, elephant curtains, a superman poster, animal alphabet flashcards and a batman cave in it. His poor room has an identity crisis.
He loves his pillow. I'm not sure the pillow loves him back though….we'll give it a week and see if it still has the stuffing.
And 'cause you asked…I called them sprocket pillows because my husband was assembling a bike while I was assembling these pillows. Bike sprockets…round pillows…get it?
Yeah me neither….just smile and nod.

Blisters in clay body
Posted 08 February 2013 - 08:58 PM

Posted 09 February 2013 - 07:29 AM
Standard 266 (and many other black clay bodies from other manufacturers) contains manganese dioxide which can bloat if fired too hot. My kiln fires to a hot cone 6 and I get some bloating; in kilns at a local studio, I've fired it to cone 6 without problems. Dropping down to cone 5 will help.
I will try cone 5. Thanks!

You might want to consider bisqueing higher, or holding your peak bisque temperature to give more time to burn out the problem ingredients. At cone 4 you are not going to get vitrification . . . which is important for functional ware. If you continue to get the outgassing bumps, then you might have to move on to another clay body.
Posted 11 February 2013 - 06:20 AM
Those bumps are still an outgassing problem and defect. At some point, they could open and pose a serious sharp edge. One possibility is the glaze is healing over before the clay body is through outgassing. Is this happending with one particular glaze, or all glazes? Are you holding your peak glaze temperature or allowing the kiln to start cooling after hitting the peak? Consider firing in your next glaze load a piece that is unglazed and see if the blisters or bumps present themselves.

It only happens with the one glaze I've been using, but I am getting ready to try another one. I bisque to 04 and go quite slowly but haven't been soaking at that temp. So I'll try that. The blisters appear on the bottoms of the pieces which are unglazed. Not sure exactly how to soak at the peak bisque temp. Would I turn the knobs down to "med." instead of letting the kiln turn off?
Posted 11 February 2013 - 08:00 AM
Not sure about blisters on the unglazed bottom . . . you might see them there, but they are probably also under the glaze. You might need to slow down the last part of your glaze firing to allow the clay body and glaze more time to mature and outgas any nasties, combined with a short hold at peak to even things out. The cause may be firing too fast at the end, then stopping and starting to cool before the gases are fully released.
Posted 12 February 2013 - 03:09 PM
I used to have this problem with the brown clay I use from standard clay co. (266), but then I tried bisqueing more slowly thinking that organic gasses needed time to escape the body and it seemed to work. However these unsightly things seem to be back and I am wondering if it is from firing too hot? The clay (still standard 266) is supposed to go to cone 6, but I guess I'll try cone 5 and see what happens...any advice?
You might should try to hold for an hour or two or so just below sintering temp: say 1580F : this gives all the organic stuff a chance to burn out of the clay before the surface sinters and traps outgassing .
Do this during bisque fire and I'll bet all blebs be gone !

Manning Award Finalists, 2006November 22, 2006
The winner will be determined by a select panel of national media covering college football, as well as each of the Mannings.
"Each of these student - athletes also provide today's aspiring youth with a roadmap for their own success," said Sugar Bowl CEO Paul Hoolahan. "The Sugar Bowl is most grateful to the Manning family for helping pay tribute to these young men."
"We are proud of the accomplishments all of these outstanding quarterbacks," said Archie Manning. "We are especially proud of how they each led their respective teams to success and an outstanding season."
Last year's winner of the Manning Award was Vince Young. Now in his rookie season with the Tennessee Titans, Young led his undefeated Texas team to a national championship. He completed 30 of 40 passes for 267 yards and gained 200 yards rushing against defending national champion USC in the 2006 Rose Bowl. He finished the season completing 212 of 325 passes for 3,036 yards and 26 touchdowns. He rushed for 1,050 yards. The 2004 winner was Matt Leinart.

"How do I align the periods in a numbered lists?" I've seen a variation of this question asked repeatedly in user forums. Here's an example of one such forum thread.
If you're wondering how to align the periods in a numbered list. It's your lucky day. Here's a video tutorial that explains the tricky workaround.
If you don't have time for the video, click below to see pictures.
See how the periods don't line up after the numbers? The simple answer is to use right alignment and increase the First Line Indent value by increments until the numbering is aligned.Here are the detailed steps:1. Select the numbered paragraphs.2. Alt/Option-click the Numbered List button in the Control panel.3. In the Bullets & Numbering dialog box, select Preview.4. Choose Right from the Alignment menu.5. Increase the Left Indent value to create a buffer.6. Increase the First Line Indent value gradually until the periods are aligned.
Of course, if your numbering goes past 100, you'll have to add even more space. This same method works when you're editing a paragraph style that uses numbering.

Location: Soil and Water Management Research
Project Number: 3640-12000-008-06-S
Project Type: Non-Assistance Cooperative Agreement
Start Date: Apr 20, 2009
End Date: Jan 31, 2013
This project will quantify the effectiveness of alternative agricultural management practices for mitigating N2O emissions and related N losses at multiple research sites with contrasting soil conditions and disseminate information to non-scientific stakeholders that encourages improved management practices to reduce impacts on air quality. Outputs from the project include improved estimates of time-integrated total N2O emissions for specific site management regimes including potential mitigation strategies, and information tools that will be disseminated via formal programs of the University of Minnesota Extension Service and via the web.
A comprehensive monitoring system for quantifying direct and indirect sources of N2O emissions will be applied within currently existing field experimental studies at multiple contrasting site locations where specific practices for reducing total N2O emissions will be compared with conventional management. Use of the same measurement methods across all sites will increase the validity of the data. A key aim of the project is to disseminate practical information to agricultural producers, industry, conservation officials and others who will ultimately benefit from the research. Technology transfer will be expedited by University of Minnesota professors with substantial experience in Extension service and collaboration with farmers and commodity groups. To assist in the development of information products described below and to identify other potential issues to be addressed, a survey of current N management practices and information needs among agricultural producers across the state of Minnesota will be conducted. University of Minnesota Extension Service personnel with expertise in surveys will design and conduct the survey. The survey will help to identify potential users of the information, to generate mailing lists, and to assess preferences for web-based versus printed material.

Justin Bieber rejected by NYC nightclub
Listen to Justin Bieber on iHeartRadio
(TMZ) - Poor little Justin Bieber wanted to party his face off Monday night ... but was brutally shot down by one NYC nightclub ... because he's still a baby in bar years (i.e. under 21), according to TMZ.
NYC party sources tell TMZ that Biebs and his crew showed up to Griffin Nightclub in the Meatpacking District around 2:00 AM ... looking to drop serious coin on bottle service.
But money can't buy everything ... TMZ reports JB was DENIED entrance by the club's security because he's only 19 - making his presence a potential problem (see Chicago earlier this month).
Not to be defeated ... according to TMZ, Biebs and his posse were shot minutes later cruising into another club, Catch ... where he probably just sipped water.

Man Arrested for Lewd Act at Museum
An Albany man is facing charges after people at the NYS Museum complained about the man's lewd activities. Steven Dressel, 56, was arrested for public lewdness, a misdemeanor, for masturbating near the Fulton Fish Market Exhibit.
The New York State Police at the Capital in Albany investigated a complaint. He was arraigned at the Town Of Guilderland court Thursday night. The judge ordered a psychiatric evaluation.
Dressel's arrest comes eight months after another sexually-related arrest. In June 2013, Edward Tubbs, 22, was arrested for sexually abusing a six-year-old boy in the restroom. Tubbs was later sentenced to four years in prison as part of a plea deal.
At that time, the museum said it would install more security cameras.

Mea maxima culpa
Yes, I know LinuxCon has come and gone, and I think they've got the publicity thing covered, especially with the 20-year thing, the gala party, and with Linus being there and all. The buzz is still going, and that's good. But if you're going to a Linux show, make it the Ohio LinuxFest in September. Bradley Kuhn and Cathy Malmrose are keynoting — along with Jon "maddog" Hall — so you'll not want to miss that (especially Cathy — Go ZaReason!).
My friend Amber Graner, an editor at Ubuntu User magazine, took Jim Zemlin out to the woodshed over the topic of yesterday's blog item, saying yesterday in a Google+ post to me:
"I take issue with leaders in the community using the word 'idiot' to describe users who don't give back. While I realize the article was pointing to business at first glance the casual end user may think, 'I use Linux but I'm not giving back yet?' 'Am I an idiot because I don't know how or where my skills are needed?' But maybe that's just me reading everything through the lens of an end user. I think this message could have been conveyed differently without the use of name calling."
Granted, I'm not a "leader in the community," but I'm sure this scolding was levelled at me as well. That's OK, because Amber is right, and I'll apologize before I clarify.
Mea culpa, folks.
The word "idiot" is a little over-the-top in this case. "Myopic" may have been a better choice for Jim Zemlin in the Network World article quote and, afterward, for me in my blog item. Though "Don't be myopic" doesn't roll off the tongue as easily, it's probably more accurate. Also, while I agree with the sentiment behind Jim Zemlin's quote, this sentiment is generally reserved for those who, for all intents and purposes, have been around for awhile and freeload on the FOSS paradigm's dime.
Amber is right about the use of harsh words intimidating end users, putting them on the defensive; especially new users. I can't speak for Jim Zemlin, but I think his quote was aimed at business users of Linux and I don't think he meant to call out new users who have yet to contribute. Speaking for myself, it was not my intention to be off-putting; rather, I had hoped that my item would be a rallying cry to volunteer. To paraphrase John F. Kennedy: "Ask not what your distro can do for you — ask what you can do for your distro."
The reason I wrote my blog item yesterday was to point out there is a lot to be done and, with an increasing user base, hopefully a lot more people to do it.
If you've been using Linux and FOSS for awhile and are comfortable in some area — graphics, documentation, "people" stuff — then step up. If you're a new user and you don't know where to go, take your time to get your proverbial feet wet in Linux and FOSS and, more importantly, get used to what's generally known as "the community." With the exception of some "bad apples" you'll encounter from time to time (mostly in Internet Relay Chat, or IRC, channels), most people in the community are willing and able to help you along.
One thing new users can do immediately is file bug reports when you find something wrong or when you find a glitch in a program. Most distros have a vehicle — Bugzilla or something along those lines — where you can point this out. Try to be as complete as possible in your description, but if you feel you must contribute right away, that would be a good place to start.
Also, as Juan Rodriguez commented in the last blog, you can always donate money to those distros and/or FOSS programs that have a mechanism to collect donations (usually, there's a "donate" button on their site). That's always a useful resource.
So contribute where you can, how you can, when you can.
You'd be myopic not to.

More like non compos mentis than mea culpa.
If you say good morning to the Linux Community there will
be an argument, with about a jillion different points of view
and each of them right.
Jim Zemlin made a good point, thats why people say things.
To pick one word out of a statement and use it to negate the
entire statement is, wait for it, stupid. Even worse is to use
something like choice of a word to negate a person is, well,
Larry, please have Jim's statement engraved on my tombstone.

Limbaugh smeared Barney Frank and Nancy Pelosi, then disclaimed: "I'm making that up"
Research ››› ››› ANDREW SEIFTER
On May 13, the day after members of Congress viewed new photos and video that purportedly show even greater brutality by U.S. military personnel than had previously been disclosed, radio host Rush Limbaugh mocked the reactions of senators and representatives to the photos, saying that Senator Edward Kennedy could "just have [Representatives] Barney Frank and Nancy Pelosi act them out for him." He then said, "I'm making that up. It's a joke." From the May 13 Rush Limbaugh Show:
Limbaugh: Kennedy can just have "Barney Frank and Nancy Pelosi act [the prison photos] out for him"
We've got the Iraqi prison photos and -- by the way, have you seen the -- all these Senators. Have you seen? There's two different versions of the additional photos that they have seen. Have you seen that? One group of Senators, "Eh, it's just more of the same." Another group of Senators, "I can't even describe how bad it is. I don't want anybody to see them. These are just out of this world. They are intolerable. I can't believe what I saw. I couldn't believe what I was looking at." Then the other Senators, "Ah, it's more of the same."
Senator Kennedy, ladies and gentlemen, said that he didn't need to look at any of these other pictures. He can just have Barney Frank and Nancy Pelosi act them out for him. I'm making that up. It's a joke.
Limbaugh regarding certain images: "You're not supposed to do that outside the Kennedy compound"
"The images left a searing impression on the Senators and House members. Some described images of Iraqi women exposing their breasts [quoting from unnamed news source]." I guess that's -- you're not supposed to do that outside the Kennedy compound. "[Again, quoting from unnamed news source] Others remembered photos of a shackled prisoner repeatedly banging his head against the wall. There were images of three U.S. soldiers beating an Iraqi prisoner. And there were many sexual images, some of simulated acts, and others including actual intercourse between male and female soldiers." [takes a deep breath]
These guys got to be careful. They're now calling sex torture. This is the fastest 180 among the progressive pop culture society I have seen.
Limbaugh: Congress would fund photos if they were taken by Mapplethorpe
It's like George Neumayr said yesterday in The American Spectator online. If these photos had been taken by Robert Mapplethorpe. These same senators and congressmen would fund the exhibit through the National Endowment for the Arts. They have done it.
Remember the Mapplethorpe controversy, folks? Where we were -- it was touring all over the country. We were told we -- we couldn't stop it from being seen. We were told if people wanted to go see it, they should see it. That this was art and we were in no position to judge.
Remember "Piss Christ," the crucifix in a jar of urine, and how that was funded by the NEA and that, we were told, we must endeavor to try to understand? Remember Karen Findley who appeared nude on stage as part of an NEA grant with chocolate slathered all over herself? We were told this was art, we must understand it.
Don't mis -- don't misunderstand me. What I'm saying is here that it -- to me, this is still being exploited as a political opportunity. I am not saying that what's in these pictures is harmless. I am not saying what's in these pictures is not bad. I am not saying what's in these pictures is unbecoming the United States of America. I think I'm the one being consistent. The ones who have excused these very acts taking place in America under so-called staged, understandable, and on-purpose conditions are now acting in shock and outrage over what they are seeing.
Limbaugh: California pornography industry "happy" about photos
So even as we speak, even as liberal Democrat Senators are reacting in shock, and stunned amazement and disbelief, and saying that they are sickened by these new photos from Iraq. Even as they speak, the California pornography industry is happily getting back on its feet after the most recent HIV/AIDS scare. And they're all happy about it out there because of the tax revenue that the porn industry in California is going to generate.
Limbaugh: Democrats "going to make this worse than the murder of Nick Berg"
Well, anyway folks. It just -- it just continues, and as it continues, what becomes more and more obvious to anybody who really wants to be objective in analyzing this is, is that this is seen as -- well, it's like -- it's like [Senator] James Inhofe said yesterday. He's heard Democratic staffers on the Senate committee of which he's a member say this is a silver bullet. This is the way we're going to get Bush. And so they're going to keep this alive. And they're going to make this worse than the murder of Nick Berg. And they're going to do the best to keep the Nick Berg situation second tier or third tier in the media.

Is KimYe being scammed with Warhol painting?
(TMZ) - The artist who says she's Andy Warhol's cousin and claims Kanye West hired her to paint Kim Kardashian ... may be trying to have her own 15 minutes of fame … because Kim says she has no clue who the woman is, TMZ reports.
Monica Warhol – a Tucson artist whose style is similar to Andy's – tells TMZ Kanye's people contacted her two weeks ago … and gave her a pic of Kim and asked her to create a screen painting of the photo.
Warhol says she's already created 9 different Kim paintings ... and says her pieces generally sell for $20K to $70K apiece.
But sources close to Kim tell TMZ … she's never heard of the woman … and thinks the whole thing may be a scam or a way for Warhol to get publicity – her 15 minutes of fame.
When TMZ called Warhol back, she gave us an explanation for why she's being rebuffed by Kim & Kanye ... she thinks the painting may have been intended as a surprise gift ... and now that the surprise has been ruined ... K&K don't want it.
Warhol says if this deal falls through, she'll put the artwork up for sale to anyone who wants to buy it.

mIRC (Internet Relay Chat)
mIRC has been around for decades and is the archetypal IRC (Internet Relay Chat) client.
Konversation (IRC client)
Konversation is the closest Linux app to mIRC and is highly recommended over the alternatives. However, Konversation does not run the scripts that were written for mIRC. (For this you will need to run mIRC in Wine.) Make sure you have ports 6667-6670 open in your firewall to use IRC (and ports 1024-1028 open to use DCC). "A little less action and a little more Konversation." -- Elvis. Install:
sudo apt-get install konversation
- K menu -> Internet -> Konversation
- Konversation can be used with Tor. See here.
XChat (IRC client)
XChat is a cross-platform IRC client that allows DCC downloads and scripts. Install:
sudo apt-get install xchat
- or a Gnome-integrated version:
sudo apt-get install xchat-gnome
- XChat can be used with Tor. See here.
mIRC in Wine
The best version of mIRC was 5.91 (because it was the final universal 16-bit version, because it had no restrictions, and, well, because it had the most functionality), although version 6.02 also worked passably well. After those versions the author added too many ads and restrictive conditions to make the program usable. Download one of the old versions.
- Start Wine.
- Epic4 and Epic5 are IRC clients based on IrcII that are script-capable.
- Install Epic5:
sudo apt-get install epic5
- Install Epic4 and the script package for it:
sudo apt-get install epic4 epic4-script-lice
- BitchX is the closest Linux-compatible app to mIRC that has scripts. it is not the most user-friendly, and it is not oriented toward English-speaking usage, but it is one of the few IRC apps with scripts (such as mp3srv), and that is an important thing. If you need scripts, consider it. Install:
sudo mkdir /etc/BitchX cd /etc/BitchX sudo wget http://www.bitchx.com/download/BitchX-1.1-final-linux.tar.gz sudo tar xvf BitchX*.tar.gz
- BitchX is a command line program. Start from a command line terminal or from a menu item:
etc/BitchX/BitchX ircnickname ircserver.ircserverdomain.com,6667
- BitchX can be used with Tor. See here.

If the Dodgers indeed wind up making the most noise at baseball's winter meetings, it could come down to the last minute.
Day 2 in Nashville was "very quiet," general manager Ned Colletti told reporters Tuesday.
Colletti said he made his first offer to left-hander Ryu Hyun-Jin, but it was rejected by Ryu's camp.
"We're debating the next step" Colletti said and added, "I don't believe we're close right now."
The Dodgers have until Sunday to work out a deal with the Korean pitcher, whose exclusive negotiating rights cost $25.7 million and could cost the team somewhere in the $50 million range to sign.
Colletti said right-hander Chad Billingsley has resumed his normal winter throwing program. If nothing else, that gives the Dodgers less urgency to acquire a starting pitcher.
They are widely reported to be the favorites to sign Zack Greinke, despite potentially having seven starters - Clayton Kershaw, Josh Beckett, Chris Capuano, Aaron Harang, Ted Lilly, Ryu and Billingsley - healthy to begin the 2013 season. Colletti said he exchanged text messages with Greinke's agent, Casey Close, on Tuesday.
"We're still looking to improve the club," he said. "It's better news than that he isn't able to throw.
"Is it the sign that says, 'We can go home on a Wednesday?' No."
One day after being linked to National League Cy Young Award winner R.A. Dickey in multiple reports, Colletti said he "can't indicate" whether the starting pitcher he covets is more likely to come via trade or free agency. Dickey has one year and $5 million left on his contract with the New York Mets, who exercised a team option in October.
Dickey is one of few "number one" starters that potentially could be available to the Dodgers via trade, and their pool of money appears larger than their pool of prospects.
But anything is possible. Colletti's favorite word for now seems to be "patience."

Could be the linux driver isn't up to the task. What NIC/driver are you using?
I've one small problem.
I make BT5 Live DVD and I've problem with settings of wifi connection.
I set regulatoy domain by "iw reg set CZ" well ("iw reg get" reports right frequencies), but changing channel to 12,13,120,124 and 128 isn't possible.
iw phy says, this channels are disabled.
On Win all channels works well -> wifi adapter works on tis channels.
What I do wrong and what can I do to make it work?
Could be the linux driver isn't up to the task. What NIC/driver are you using?
I haven't used this driver but according to linuxwireless.org (often outdated) it doesn't support 5GHz spectrum. This means your maximum channel will be 14. I see some people (like you unfortunately) are only getting 11. Various hacks are offered in the aircrack forums and dev mailing list, but they're not for the faint of heart!

2010 Football schedule releasedMarch 25, 2010
Five of the Tornados 11 games will be at home
Brevard, N.C. - Coach Paul Hamilton has released the Brevard College 2010 football schedule as announced by the BC Sport Information Department.
The Tornados will play an 11-game schedule, featuring five home contests, while the Tornados will be on the road six times.
Brevard finished the 2009 season with a 7-4 record in their second season as full members of the NCAA Division II and the South Atlantic Conference, receiving votes in the AFCA Division II poll for the first time as a program. The Tornados were also recognized by Somis Sports as the 11th most improved Division II Football team in 2009 and the 40th most improved program across all levels of NCAA Collegiate Football.
Brevard opens the 2010 campaign at home on August 28th, hosting Edward Waters College. This will be the second meeting between the teams, with the Tornados winning the first game down in Jacksonville, Fla. last season, 51-6.
The Tornados begin their first of three straight road games, traveling down to Boiling Springs, N.C. on September 4th to take on FCS Big South opponent Gardner-Webb University.
After an open week, the Tornados continue on the road, traveling to Charlotte, N.C. to take on Johnson C. Smith University. Kickoff between the teams is scheduled for September 18th, at Irwin Belk Complex/Memorial Stadium and will be the first time the two teams have met. The Golden Bulls finished 3-7 last season, 2-5 in CIAA action, defeating common opponent Edward Waters, 27-14, while falling to Chowan 33-20.
Brevard finishes the trip in Buena Vista, Va. against Southern Virginia. Last season marked the first time the teams met and the Tornados topped the Knights in Asheville, 42-7, behind the combined 16 tackles and three interceptions by rising juniors and 2009 All-SAC selections Michael Gist and Prince Simunyu.
Brevard opens South Atlantic Conference play on October 2nd, hosting Family Weekend against Carson-Newman. The Eagles went undefeated in conference play last season on their way to the Division II Football Semifinals.
The Tornados return to the road the following week against Catawba College, traveling to take on the Indians in Salisbury, N.C. Last season, Brevard defeated Catawba on Homecoming Weekend, overcoming the Indians as Richard Ray picked up a blocked punt and rumbled into the end zone to give the Tornados a 7-6 victory.
Brevard heads home for a pair of games against Lenoir-Rhyne on October 16th and Wingate on October 23rd.
The Tornados picked up their first SAC win since joining the conference in last season's matchup against the Bears, defeating Lenoir-Rhyne, 14-9 after Gist returned an interception 20 yards for a touchdown. The Tornados will be having their Homecoming Game against Wingate, in hopes of avenging their first loss of the 2009 season at the hands of the Bulldogs.
The Tornados return to the road, traveling to Greeneville, Tenn. to take on Tusculum on October 30th in a rematch of last season's overtime contest at Brevard Memorial Stadium. Tusculum scored first in the extra period on a 20-yard field goal, but the Tornados pulled out the 27-24 win as Eric Watts caught a pass from Michael Crumbaker and strolled into the end zone to split the series with the Pioneers at 1-1.
Newberry College is the Tornados Senior Day opponent as the teams' face-off on the first weekend of November.
The Tornados finish up the 2010 regular season on the road at Mars Hill on November 13th.

Thanks very much for the document. Very well laid out and clearly presented information.
I have a quick question that is not answered in the document, nor have I been able to find the info on google or searching forums:
What needs to be done to determine a WEP network's 'username' (i.e., when prompted to enter username & password).
Is that information possible to obtain using backtrack, or is a WEP network considered 'secure' if it is set up to prompt all connecting terminals for a 'username' and a password?
Thanks for you feedback. When you say username don't you wanna talk about WPA2-Enterprise?
this has been extremely helpful to me thanks a lot strakar...
Thanks alot - very nice tutorial, esp. when you're new to wireless pentesting.

I think this one is best left to the regulatory bodies & the doctors.
Surely they will do some tests & and if her hormone levels etc are deemed to be alright and within the ranges that are deemed normal for a "woman" then she will be cleared to fight and relicensed.
Be interesting to get Rosi's view on this situation.
The UFC Heavyweight Champion doesn't agree that Fallon should be fighting women, wants a tranny division to be created hahahaahahahaha.
Read an interesting article the other day about this, I think it was written by Rosie Sexton. The upshot being that as Fallon Fox was fully developed as a man prior to hormone therapy and gender reassignment surgery, she is very likely to have retained some of the physical advantages of being born a man. Therefore she will most likely have an advantage over other females at her weight etc.
I will bet my mortgages that Cris Santos has more physical advantages than her lol.
I don't have a huge problem with it. A lot of the arguments surrounding this seem to come down to "ick".

Attorney General Kamala D. Harris Reflects on the Loss of Warren Christopher
SAN FRANCISCO -- The death of Warren Christopher is a deep loss for California and for our nation. Warren was the epitome of a true public servant, an esteemed leader who possessed grace, intellect and wit. His passion for serving his country and his achievements in public service were gifts to all of us. This is also a personal loss and I will miss his cherished friendship and counsel.

The Testament of Mary
The Testament of Mary
Theater review by David Cote. Walter Kerr Theatre (see Broadway). By Colm Tóibín. Dir. Deborah Warner. With Fiona Shaw. 1hr 30mins. No intermission.
Last time she was on Broadway, Fiona Shaw made a bloody sacrifice of her children in Medea. Now the grand, incisive performer is back as a different sort of mother with a different sort of sacrifice. She's the Virgin Mary, railing against the mythologizing of her dead son, Jesus. Not that Mary identifies him explicitly. "Something will break in me if I say his name," she tells us. The Testament of Mary is the biblical icon's remembrance of her son's apostles ("misfits," she calls them), his miraculous acts and his brutal execution. The setting is many years after the Crucifixion, as Christ's early converts busily compile the Gospels that will spread a new religion. But Mary doesn't care about dogma or Immaculate Conception; she just wants her child back.
Far from a sentimental treatment of the mother-son bond barely explored in the Bible—but exhaustively cataloged in European art for centuries—Testament is a brief but rigorous application of humanist skepticism to the notion of Christ's divinity. In this monologue, author Colm Tóibín doesn't set out to prove or disprove whether Mary gave birth to the Son of God, but he gently allows room for both wonder and doubt. Yes, Mary recounts, in a harrowing passage, the raising of Lazarus—but she wasn't there. When she does meet him, she says Lazarus is more zombie than man. Likewise, the text emphasizes Jesus' pain and fear of death. Scour Scripture and the apocrypha; you won't find any description of a frantic Christ trying to stop the Romans from nailing the second hand.
Shaw's performance is keen and staggering in its total effect, and slightly self-indulgent in its particulars (I felt a similar dichotomy a decade ago with her Medea). She has a tendency, especially early in the show, to show you how. bloody. hard. she's acting! And director Deborah Warner allows too much neurotic prop-moving business and italicized bits of mugging. (It's probably intentional, as the character is still processing the trauma and avoiding the admission of her fundamental lack of faith.) Still, this is a potent piece of writing, and Shaw winds up to a shattering finale. "Who is my mother?" Christ asks, philosophically yet woundingly, in the Book of Mark. Foolish boy; the answer is right here.—David Cote

Just a Thought ... Genre Crossing
While it can easily be argued that the earliest forms of literature were all what today might be called fantasy –Beowulf, The Odyssey, the epic of Gilgamesh—and that the fantastic was a part of mainstream literature for a long time after—Shakespeare, anyone?—in recent decades fantasy and its younger sibling, science fiction, have been relegated to the fringes—read and loved by many, certainly, but not considered to be literary by the cognoscenti and often dismissed in favor of more realistic works. This, however, is a trend that seems to be reversing itself. The current interest in George R.R. Martin's "Song of Ice and Fire" book series, prompted in part by the popular HBO miniseries based upon the books, is but one example. In addition to the public's discovery of SF-F authors like Martin, those who have been writing in the genre for many years, there is an emerging trend of literary fiction authors turning to more speculative themes. The success of Michael Chabon's The Yiddish Policeman's Union, Lev Grossman's The Magicians and, more recently, Justin Cronin's The Passage seems to have opened a door for other authors to walk through. A variety of other authors, best known for their previous works of literary fiction, have recent or forthcoming works of science fiction, fantasy, or horror.

Once I switched to Outlook 2007 I began to use the categories, which is nice but what if you miss your old way of doing things?
On first glance it doesn't look like that feature still exists – but it does and you just have to know where to find it.
The thing you seek is in the Tools menu.
Choose Organize and you'll find that the top section of your message list looks like you remember.
What you're look for is on the Using Colors tab…
A few quick settings just like before and you'll find that you feel much better and even have your color back!

Part one of Neil Simon's autobiographical trilogy, Brighton Beach Memoirs was a Broadway hit in 1983 and again in 2009. The play is a comedic portrait of a young teenage boy in 1937 living with his family in a crowded, lower middle-class Brooklyn walk-up. Dreaming of baseball and girls, the boy must cope with the mundane existence of his family and the difficulty of living with seven people under one roof. This bittersweet memoir evocatively captures the life of a struggling Jewish household where, as his father states "if you didn't have a problem, you wouldn't be living here."

Once again, we have Lore versus Law. I'm sure by now when you hear the term "Rocket-Docket" you immediately associate this term with how the Florida's courts are handling the foreclosure crisis. For those of you who don't know, Florida's legislature appropriated approximately $9.6 million this year from Federal stimulus funds to clear out the courts' backlog of foreclosure cases. The funds are being used to create special foreclosure divisions ("Rocket Dockets") that are heard by retired senior judges in order to clear 62% of the backlog by July of 2011. It usually takes less than a minute for the judge to hear and make a decision per case.
Earlier this year, the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) began investigating issues surrounding the Rocket Dockets in Courts throughout the State of Florida. During their investigations, it has come to their attention that some courts are violating both the constitutional and legal rights of the media and the public to attend these foreclosure hearings.
The ACLU, the Florida Press Association and several other journalism groups addressed several reports of Courts restricting access to the media, and in some cases homeowners, in a joint press release. Along with sending letters to Florida's Supreme Court Chief Justice, Charles T. Canady and Chief Judge Donald R. Moran of Florida's Fourth Judicial Circuit requesting that they investigate these allegations and take corrective actions.
The letters sent to the Judges provide a brief illustration of some of the reports the ACLU and other groups have received:

So if I bump 'my' thread, every two or three hours, for example, well, is that an egotistical emass8' thing to do....?
Yankee are you a happy man ?
Just wondering if you are familiar with those Secret Service arse clowns who got busted in Colombia, perchance? Failure to pay for services rendered? And now, witness protection in unibrow country?
When bored, and living in a land of early winter, it's best to retreat to thine wood shop, and there design a gnome plank, to spread the gospel come springtime.

Yank here's the last plank I made its pretty sweet dude.
Ugh, charles... Man, I really want to like this fin but it doesn't do it for me. I just can't buy into the design of it. A double foil maybe but that's still a stretch. I really like to base my design off of what you see in nature. Surfboard fins should be similar in shape to a bird wing or fish's fin or something that does that type of job. You nailed the body of the board and I'm sure that will make up for any potential shortcoming from the fin. Please let us know right here on Yankee's thread just how the board surfs on a decent wave.
So Yankee, 58 hours without any direct attention and you start getting all thirsty for attention again huh? Sure, "i was knocking on Emass" we hear ya pal. When's your birthday? I'll make another thread in your honor then.

Karl H. Reichelt Named Acting GSA Chief of Staff
January 21, 2004
Contact: Deborah K. Ruiz (202) 501-1231
WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. General Services Administrator Stephen A. Perry today announced Karl H. Reichelt as the agency's acting Chief of Staff. Mr. Reichelt has served as GSA's Regional Administrator for the Northeast & Caribbean Region since April 2002, a position he will retain through a transition period.
"Karl has done an outstanding job for the Bush Administration and GSA in meeting the needs of the federal agencies and the citizens of the Northeast & Caribbean Region. His demonstrated leadership abilities, management skills, and experience make him an ideal choice as our Chief of Staff and I look forward to working with Karl and GSA's senior leadership team as we continue to make great strides in advancing President Bush's Management Agenda and other Administration and agency goals," Administrator Perry said.
Mr. Reichelt will succeed David H. Safavian, whom President Bush intends to nominate as the new Administrator of the Office of Federal Procurement Policy within the Office of Management and Budget.
"I want to sincerely thank David Safavian for his strong leadership, valued counsel and significant contributions to our success at GSA during his tenure. All of us at GSA wish him continued success as he assumes this challenging position and new responsibilities in the Bush Administration," Administrator Perry said.
As GSA's Regional Administrator for New York, New Jersey, Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands, Mr. Reichelt is responsible for the delivery of critical operational and support services provided to federal agencies, including the management, construction and leasing of workspace, the procurement of information technology and telecommunications solutions, and the acquisition of furnishings, equipment, vehicles, office supplies and other services. Mr. Reichelt oversees several major capital projects, including the expansion of border stations along the US/Canadian border, the construction of new federal courthouses in Brooklyn and Buffalo, and the development of the new US Mission to the United Nations.
During his tenure with GSA, Mr. Reichelt has led a number of the Bush Administration's key initiatives in New York, including the federal government's role in redeveloping the World Trade Center site after the 9-11 terrorist attack, the transfer of Governor's Island from the federal government to New York, and successfully putting back on track the historic and internationally significant African Burial Ground Project, highlighted by the long-awaited reinterment phase of the project completed in October 2003.
"I thank President Bush and Administrator Perry for the opportunity to serve as GSA's Chief of Staff. I look forward to working on a national basis with GSA's leadership team as we fulfill the President's Management Agenda and as we continue our mission to deliver superior service and best value to our federal agency customers while being a responsible steward of taxpayer dollars," Mr. Reichelt said.
Prior to joining the Bush Administration, Mr. Reichelt served in senior leadership positions within the Administration of New York Governor George E. Pataki, including a six-month special assignment as coordinator of human services programs provided to victims of the 9-11 attack. Mr. Reichelt is a graduate of the University at Albany and holds a B.A. in political science. He and his wife, Marianne, and their four children presently reside in Rhinebeck, NY, and will be moving to Washington, D.C., area in the near future.

PRINCETON, N.J. -- For the second-straight year, the Ivy League women's soccer champion also provided the Player of the Year, as Princeton senior Jen Hoy (Sellersville, Pa.) earned the 2012 honor after a vote by the League's eight coaches. The Tigers, who became the fifth team overall to go 7-0-0 in Ivy play and the first since they accomplished the feat in 2004, placed eight players among the 2012 All-Ivy teams, tied with Dartmouth for the League-lead.
The Big Green, which finished second in the League with a 6-1-0 mark, took home the other League postseason award, as freshman Corey Delaney (Chatham, N.J.) was a unanimous selection for Rookie of the Year.
Hoy is the Tigers first Player of the Year since Diana Matheson earned the award in 2007. Hoy ranks seventh in the nation in goals (17) and 10th in points (38) and leads the League in both categories. She currently has the second-highest single-season goals total in Princeton history, trailing only Esmeralda Negron's 20 in 2004. Hoy was unanimously voted first-team All-Ivy, the third-straight season in which she has earned All-Ivy accolades and the second-consecutive year she was named to the first team. Hoy was a three-time Player of the Week honoree in 2012 (Sept. 3, Sept. 24, Oct. 15).
Four of Hoy's teammates joined her on the first team in seniors Alison Nabatoff (Burke, Va.) and Rachel Sheehy (Exton, Pa.), junior Gabriella Guzman (Bridgewater, N.J.) and sophomore Lauren Lazo (Scottsdale, Ariz.). Lazo led the League with 17 points and eight goals in Ivy play.
Delaney is Dartmouth's first Rookie of the Year since Jessica Post shared the award with Yale's Lorelei Wall in 1996, and the Big Green's first outright Rookie of the Year since Melissa McBean in 1993. Delaney was also voted to the All-Ivy first team after posting nine points on two goals and a team-high five assists in 2012, including four points on a goal and two assists in Ivy play. Delaney was named Rookie of the Week three times in 2012, on Sept. 17, Sept. 24 and Oct. 22.
Delaney was joined on the first team by sophomore goalkeeper Tatiana Saunders (Rye, N.Y.), junior midfielder Chrissy Lozier (Fairfield, Conn.), senior forward Emma Brush (Grosse Pointe Park, Mich.) and senior defender Aurelia Solomon (Washington). Lozier was also a unanimous selection to the first team, joining Hoy. The Big Green earned first team honors for the first time since 2009, and the five players on the first team in 2012 are the most for Dartmouth since six earned the honor in 1994.
Due to ties in the voting, there were an unprecedented 17 first-team All-Ivy recipients, including five each from Princeton and Dartmouth and three from Penn. The previous record for members of the All-Ivy first team was 14, set in 1999.
Quakers junior midfielder Erin Beck (Fort Wayne, Ind.) earned her second-straight first team honor, but there were a number of first-time recipients, including the 2009 co-Rookies of the Year, Princeton's Nabatoff and Yale senior Kristen Forster (Trumbull, Conn.).
Columbia senior Isabel King (San Francisco) received her first career All-Ivy accolade, as did Brown junior Mika Siegelman (Piedmont, Calif.). Harvard was represented on the first team by sophomore Meg Casscells-Hamby (Winter Park, Fla.), who was named to the second team in 2011.
Cornell placed two players on the second team in senior Maneesha Chitanvis (Los Alamos, N.M.) and sophomore Claire MacManus (Rosemont, Pa.). For Chitanvis, it marks her third-straight All-Ivy honor after receiving Honorable Mention accolades the past two seasons.

VulpiArgenti thanks for the excellent/interesting analysis of the "comparison". (if I may say so) I had already had some doubts during this similar-thread:
good job!thanks-again
I recently bought the newer NH version of the AWUS036, seduced by 2000w transmit power plus N-speed data transfer. I've made a pseudo-scientific comparison; same 5 dBi antenna, HD install BT5R1 32 then BT5R2 64, controlling as many variables as possible.
Number of APs seen in wicd: about the same
Speed connects to router (WPA2): H much quicker
Ping router:
Download speed test:Code:H 100 packets transmitted, 99 received, 1% packet loss, time 99162ms rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 1.240/4.726/177.438/19.295 ms NH 100 packets transmitted, 100 received, 0% packet loss, time 99232ms rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 1.359/677.013/2927.134/612.316 ms, pipe 3
H 286 KB/s
Monitor mode/airodump
Airodump scan: H sees 30% more APs
Reception PWR: H much better, by an average of 10 dBm
(Note that the value for PWR is reported by the driver, therefore may not be comparable).
RXQ on fixed channel/AP: very variable. H reports itself as more sensitive (eg 24 vs 12) , but both seem to collect a similar number of packets.
Injection: both excellent.
Transmit power: Hacking the regdb/CRDA allows:
I tried to test this by DOSing my AP from a distance (PWR -85). NH reported fewer ACKs (eg H [58|62 ACKs] vs NH [18|28 ACKs]), but this is probably a function of its lower sensitivity. There seemed to be no difference in the effectiveness of the deauth.Code:wlan1 (H) IEEE 802.11bg ESSID:off/any Mode:Managed Access Point: Not-Associated Tx-Power=30 dBm wlan3 (NH) IEEE 802.11bgn ESSID:off/any Mode:Managed Access Point: Not-Associated Tx-Power=35 dBm !!
I suspect there is no advantage in increasing transmit power at the expense of reception sensitivity.
Soft AP
Setup: no problems on either, airbase and dhcpd work.
Soft AP transfer speed (for the victim):
Driver Max kbps
Ave KB/s
Victim browsing experience
H 350 45 slightly better than dialup NH 70 3 almost unusable (iwlagn 700 64 slow broadband)
Macchanger: no problems with either.
5GHz band: not seen by either (need AWUS051NH for this)
Virtualbox: H stable, NH flakey
If I could have only one, it would definitely be the AWUS036H.
P.S. If anyone has any tests they want me to run I'll do my best to oblige.
P.P.S. Anyone want to buy my NH?

35 dbm is higher than 2 watts. This may explain why your card is malfunctioning (you will most likely destroy your card running it that high without modding it). No higher than 32dbms would be my recommendation and 33 dbms is just under 2 watts.
Try your test again (if you ran the test at 35dbm - you didn't specify the power used in the test) and if you haven't melted it yet you will see an improvement.
Thanks for sharing your findings.

Hi Scamentology
I followed your tutorial, and mostly use 32dBm. Surprisingly, I haven't seen any difference between 30-35 (benefit or harm). This is the reported power; who knows what it is actually putting out?you didn't specify the power used in the test
Why do you say my card is malfunctioning? It seems to work well, just not as sensitive as the H.
(I am well aware of regulatory issues; this is in a lab setting)

VulpiArgenti ...agree almost in full with what did you say.
However the best performance that I ever had it with wireless cards was based on this one:
NextG USB-Yagi Plug & Play 11N Long Range WiFi antenna 2200mW..this is the absolute thing that should be part of a Wifi Warrior kit
Intriguing - I'll look into it. Thanks.

Both tests were done about 6 feet from the router.
You can see how ( by comparing numbers ) I would think its malfunctioning.
I stated no objections to this. In fact I encourage this and appreciate the effort.(I am well aware of regulatory issues; this is in a lab setting)
The fact that we get such different outcomes with this card means this card is NOT stable enough to recommend, but the one I got works great.

Great report, looking forward for your next analysis.
Thanks for posting your tests Scamentology.
My main disappointment with the NH was 1) sensitivity, and 2) poor performance as a soft AP. It would be interesting to hear anyone's results on these.
[Off-topic: looking forward to seeing a post on that wicked NextG]

Red Sox Ticket Prices Are 5-Figure Crazy
(NEWSER) – Boston hasn't clinched a World Series at home in nearly a century, and that's translating into a big payday for those willing to sell tickets to tonight's Game Six. Consider that someone paid $24,000 on StubHub for two front-row tickets near home plate, reports ESPN. But even the cheap seats aren't so cheap, with the average ticket price now north of $2,000 and climbing. One thing that helps is old-fashioned supply and demand, notes theChristian Science Monitor: Fenway holds a relatively small capacity of about 37,000.

Terry Francona named AL Manager of the Year
Cleveland's Terry Francona and Pittsburgh's Clint Hurdle were honored as the top managers in baseball Tuesday night.
Francona led the Indians to the postseason for the first time since 2007, earning the No. 1 wild-card spot in the American League. They lost the wild-card game to Tampa Bay, 4-0.
The Indians, under Francona, showed a 24-game improvement, going from 68 victories in 2012 to 92 this year. The 24-victory improvement matched the biggest in franchise history. The 1986 Indians won 84 games after winning just 60 in 1985.
The Indians went 21-6 in September and ended the season on a 10-game winning streak.
Francona led the Boston Red Sox to five postseason appearances and two World Series championships from 2004 through 2011, but was never voted Manager of the Year.
Hurdle guided the Pirates to their first winning season since 1992. They finished 94-68, third-best in the NL.
They lost in five games to the Cardinals in the NL Division Series.
"It's a bit overwhelming, to tell you the truth," Hurdle said in an interview on MLB Network. "It's humbling. It's gratifying from an organizational standpoint."
It was the first Manager of the Year honor for the 56-year-old Hurdle. His highest finish had been third in 2007, when he led the Colorado Rockies to the World Series.
The only other Pittsburgh manager to win the award was Jim Leyland in 1990 and 1992, the bookends to three consecutive division titles for the Pirates.
Hurdle was the only manager picked on every ballot. He had 140 points in the 5-3-1 scoring system to 68 points for Don Mattingly, who received two first-place votes after leading the Dodgers to the NL West title.
Atlanta's Fredi Gonzalez got three first-place votes and finished with 43 points.
