Samantha Martin has been working with animals and studying the human-animal bond her entire life. At first glance, you may think that her touring show, The Amazing Acro-Cats and Rock Cats, is just a spectacle, but look closer — it is actually an incredible tool for helping educate people about building relationships with animals, emphasizing the joy they can bring to our lives. And, even more importantly in my opinion, the show increases awareness about the cat overpopulation problem we face here in the US and the importance of rescuing cats.
All of the cats in Samantha's show are rescued. She demonstrates the usefulness of clicker-training for cats in the show as they perform, but Samantha is also a big advocate for using similar training techniques at home, especially in the case of emergencies.
Here's the part I love: the Acto-Cats have started taking foster cats and kittens on the road with them to give the cats extra exposure and find them forever homes! They have adopted out over 90 cats since they started their foster program.
The Acro-cats Need a New Tour Bus!
To continue taking the show on the road, spreading their message, and adopting out foster cats, the Acro-Cats are in need of a new tour bus. They have a Kickstarter campaign running right now to raise the funds needed to create an amazing mobile cat heaven, equipped with everything the cats and human crew need to tour comfortably. Please check out the Acro-Cats Kickstarter page for more information and to show your support to this great group!
Sadly, Pinky, the Rock Cats' guitar-playing blue-eyed beauty recently passed away after a second battle with cancer, so the Kickstarter campaign and tour bus project are being dedicated to her memory.
The Acro-Cats and Rock Cats are currently performing in their hometown, Chicago. They have evening shows on Sept 26, Oct 3, and Oct 10 at Stage 773 Theatre and one lucky Chicago-area reader is going to win a pair of tickets! (Actually, you don't have to live in Chicago to win, you could give your tickets to a cat-loving friend in the area.) To enter, please leave a comment on this post. The winner will get to choose the performance date, either Oct 3 or Oct 10. We will pick the winner in a random drawing on September 30, 2012. One entry per person.

Yeah, to AND EAX x2 for each four bytes is a little stupid. So I actually don't want to do that. Since when EAX is originally zeroed out, and then SUB'ed to the proper value then pushed, we already know it's value, it's only a matter of figuring out which values to sub from the new EAX to get to the next four bytes. You should only have to zero it out once.
As for the tutorial, that technique is similar, but I want this more like a POC for non-SEH, ASLR etc protected things. When this works POC, then we would take it to the next level and make it work as a standard module with all the other goodies.

Label Boss Slams Rumors Of Adele Album, World Tour
Listen to Adele Radio on iHeartRadio
Adele fans will have to hold out a bit longer for any official sign of new music. Another round of rumors flooded the Internet on Wednesday morning, only to be debunked by the star's label boss hours later.
Beggars Group head Martin Mills tells Billboard there's "no truth" to the latest reports, which apparently came from the official Twitter page of the World Music Awards. A tweet claimed Adele had confirmed a new album as well as a world tour in 2015.
Adele is rumored to be recording in London and has given her many hopeful fans some reason to expect more music. On her birthday back in May, she tweeted "Bye bye 25 ... See you again later in the year."
Her next release is expected to be titled 25, following the pattern of her previous album 21 and 19.
Billboard predicts that whenever the album does arrive, it should be one of the year's biggest releases.

Topic: I'd like to tell you about a wonderful man
My name is Wendy Hale, 7th child born to Timothy & Bonnie Doyle of Bakersfield,CA. My parents were married 36 wonderful years, until this horrible cancer stole my Daddy away one sad day in June of 2007. Always a proud, strong and funny man- he stayed brave until the end. He was diagnosed January 1st 2007. Six months is what they gave him, and well he was right on target like always. He was so special and meant the world to many people that even his job, Pepsi Co.--had his delivery truck, all employees in uniform and 500+ people in attendance to his funeral. When he first learned of his cancer he decided to spend part of his retirement and take 35 people (brothers, sisters, nieces, nephews, granddaughters, daughters, sons and his beautiful wife for one week to Topsail Island, NC for one last time together. It was so wonderful to see my Daddy in the one of the places he loved, one last time. One of the many great memories he left, was when he walked me down the aisle, just one day after leaving the hospital. Even though he is no longer with us, I will never stop looking for a cure, an end, an answer to why. Why did this selfish disease take such an honorable son, brother, uncle, grandpa, father and husband? Why did this unresearched cancer steal the most important man to me, hell to this world! I could type for hours upon hours about this incredible human being but words will never do justice for a man of his caliber.
Timothy Desmond Doyle July 29th, 1950 - June 09, 2007

text: Alicia Silverstone has had trouble finding successful work as an actress so became an author. In her latest book she tells the world that she is anti-vaccine. She admits there is no scientific evidence to back up her position but feels that anecdotal evidence is good enough for her and that no one should be vaccinating their children. Obviously, then from her insight into the anecdotal world she should have seen what happened to Jenny McCarthy after she made similar thoughts public. Alicia's book could have been changed when Kristin Cavallari got slammed for what she said about vaccines, but I guess Alicia decided to go through with it. Not a smart move. She makes a lot of ridiculous claims in her book and reading the her book reviews are a great way to spend a few hours of your day. Alicia says that her baby was potty trained by the age of six months because she would rush him to the backyard when he showed any signs of having to go. Does she not have a bathroom in the house? Why rush him outside? Apparently he must be part dog. In my opinion, that is the way you potty train a dog. Did her son want to go outside every time he had to go to the bathroom? At six months did he scoot himself over to a sliding glass door and bang on it? Is he still forced to use the backyard as his toilet? Alicia said that a vegan diet will guard against post partum depression. No scientific evidence but it is what she believes. She says that tampons will make you infertile and fill you with chemicals and pesticides because the cotton in them is not organic.

By Aaron Lommers Herald Writer
MOUNTLAKE TERRACE — At its best, baseball can be, at the very least, unpredictable. Friday night's game between Mountlake Terrace and Cascade was just another example.
The teams combined for 21 runs and 18 hits, and looking at the final score, a 12-9 Cascade victory, it would be hard to tell that 15 of the 18 hits came from the Bruins.
But that's exactly what happened.
Aided by some erratic pitching by Cascade in the late innings, the Hawks staged a comeback that ultimately fell three runs short.
The Bruins started fast, powering to eight runs in the first two innings. Second baseman Patrick Chung started the scoring in the top of the first inning with an RBI double. The biggest hit, however, belonged to catcher Ryan Lukas, who belted a three-run home run to left field to make it 4-0.
"He got a first-pitch fastball, kind of belt-high fastball and he timed it perfect," Cascade head coach Scott Stencil said. "He put a great swing on it and the next thing you know the ball carried out. I wasn't sure when he hit it. I knew he hit it well and then all of the sudden it just kept going. That was a big hit for us because that went from 1-0 to 4-0."
Terrace closed the gap with a run in the bottom of the first, but the Bruins opened it up wider with four more runs in the top of the second. Center fielder K.J. Brady hit an RBI single, Chung and Michael Mazza each added RBI doubles and the lead jumped to 8-1 after two innings.
The third inning was scoreless, but after that brief respite, the Bruins added four more runs in the top of the fourth, led by Brady's RBI triple and Lukas' RBI single.
In danger of losing the game in five innings via the 10-run rule, the Hawks' offense came up with seven runs in the bottom of the fifth inning. Amazingly, the seven runs came on just one hit.
"It's a crazy game, things happen," Stencil said. "To get the extra at-bats is great for our hitters. And it's a good learning experience for our pitchers to come in with a big lead and try to finish the game off."
Still, Stencil admitted it would have been nice to end the game when his team had the chance.
Terrace's fifth-inning surge was powered by Cascade's wildness. Five walks and two hit batters created four runs. A three-base throwing error allowed three more runs to score, turning what looked like a blowout into an exciting finish.
Stencil had limited options to stem the Hawks' outburst. A depleted pitching staff kept him from going to the bullpen.
"I didn't have a guy," Stencil said. "I had no pitcher. The only pitcher I had was my starter from Monday and I didn't really want to use him. I didn't have anyone else warmed up. They were all on the field. So I had to trust that my guy would get out of it and we would make a play somewhere — and we did. And if we didn't then we just would have had to battle back and score some runs."
The Hawks added another run in the bottom of the sixth to cut the deficit to three runs, but the Bruins got out of a bases-loaded jam when relief pitcher Danny Townsend struck out Chase Perez to end the inning.
Cascade escaped with the victory in the following inning when Elliot Nebel grounded into a 6-4-3 double play to end the game.
While frustrating to give up such a big lead, Stencil was happy to see his team respond to the challenge.
"We made just enough plays to hold on," he said. "I think that is a good sign of our team, coming from where we were last year when we were a little bit young and we were fortunate enough to win some games early on in the year. And now that we are kind of all back, most of our team is back this year. They've been in these situations and I expect them to just do what they do which is just keep playing the game."
Although the Hawks came up short, staying in the game and staging the comeback was a welcome sign for Mountlake Terrace coach Andrew Watters.
"My kids are a tough group," he said. "They didn't give up on the game. They easily could have. Baseball is a funny game. It's just one of those things that happens. I was happy. It was good for us to show that we can come back and compete."

On a single computer you usually get 500 to 1000 keys per second, let's juice this up with a cluster.
First, you will need to split up your dictionary into segments. Let's take an example dictionary, wpa.txt, with 2,830,423 lines. With 64 cores, I will need 64 segments. 2830423 / 64 = 44225.
This assumes your dictionary is in ~/dict/wpa.txt, and that you have a directory called wpa_seg to save the segments in.Code:$ for file in `seq 1 64`; do head -n `echo "${file}*44225"|bc` ~/dict/wpa.txt | tail -n 44225 > ~/dict/wpa_seg/wpa_${file}.txt; done
Second, now that we have our segments we need to unleash the power of the cluster.
This assumes you have your aircrack-ng binary in the ~/dict directory, that the bssid of the AP is 00:11:22:33:44:55, that you have psl-02.cap which has your handshake, and that you have a directory named wpa_result to store output. qrsh comes from a vanilla installation of the Rocks Clusters Linux distribution.Code:for file in `seq 1 64`; do (qrsh -now no "~/dict/aircrack-ng -w ~/dict/wpa_seg/wpa_${file}.txt -q -b 00:11:22:33:44:55 ~/dict/psl-02.cap > ~/dict/wpa_result/wpa_${file}.txt" &); done
The power is great, I got a sustained test rate of 38,248 keys per second. Not bad for three minutes of setup.

A mainstay midsize sedan since the days when there were far fewer competitors, this ninth-generation Honda Accord was launched as a 2008 model to compete with a racy Ford Fusion, a stylish Chrysler 200, a sporty Nissan Altima and Mazda 6, and a feature-filled Hyundai Sonata.
Changes to the 2016 Honda Accord consist of a bolder grille, reshaped aluminum hood, and redesigned taillamps with LED brake lights. (Also, the Hybrid model has been discontinued.)
Honda Sensing, a package of driver assistance programs, is new to the 2016 Accord. Honda Sensing includes collision warning and braking, lane-departure warning, lane-keeping assist, road departure mitigation, and adaptive cruise control.
The base engine is a 2.4-liter four-cylinder with direct injection making 185 horsepower. The four-cylinder is available with a 6-speed manual or a continuously variable transmission that feels like an automatic. The four-cylinder with the CVT is EPA-rated at 27/37 mpg City/Highway.
There's also a V6, with a 6-speed automatic transmission, rated at 278 horsepower and 21/34 mpg.
Accord's safety ratings are strong. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration gives both the Accord sedan and coupe five stars overall, with four stars for the sedan in the frontal crash. The 2015 Accord earned the top Good ratings from the IIHS (Insurance Institute for Highway Safety).
The 2016 Honda Accord Sedan models include the Accord LX, Accord Sport, Accord EX, Accord EX-L and Accord Touring.
Standard equipment includes two-zone climate control, 16-inch alloy wheels, Bluetooth, rearview camera, and eight-inch touchscreen. Accord LX includes Pandora, SMS text, and 360-watt sound system with Aha internet radio streaming.
The Accord sedan's roofline suggests a coupe, though not as radically as some sedans do because spaciousness inside is important. It's a handsome and fresh design, with subtly chiseled sides, low beltline, and thin pillars (thanks to high-tensile steel).
The new grille design is unfortunate, Honda is following Acura by putting its emblem all over the face of the car in shiny plastic.
Honda designed the Accord sedan from the inside out; a cabin wasn't squeezed into a shell, rather a shell was built around a cabin. Priorities made clear.
The instrument panel is low, which gives a feeling of space to the cabin. The most-used controls are placed high on the panel. Still, we wish the controls were less confusing, especially for the available dual-screen infotainment system that adds clutter and complexity.
With that low beltline and thin pillars, visibility from the driver's seat is good.
There's good rear legroom with easy entry and exit, with a 60/40 folding rear seat in all models but the base LX.
We like Honda's innovative video display when you put on the turn signal, of the lane behind the car from a camera in the sideview mirror. Active noise cancellation helps keep the V6 model quiet in the cabin.
The current-generation Accord uses MacPherson struts for the front suspension like everyone else, instead of double wishbones, citing a smoother ride from the struts. Electric power steering adds to confident handling, with its mostly linear weighting, good sense of center, and road feedback.
The CVT is good, sometimes you can't even tell it's not an automatic. The revs rise quickly and the continuously variable transmission goes through steps that feel like gear changes. It uses programming called G-Design shift logic.
We also like the manual transmission. It shifts with precision and a tight clutch engagement, a combination that makes the piece responsive and refined.
The Honda Accord remains steady and predictable without being boring. The cabin is roomy, the shape is clean and modern; the speed is good enough and handling nimble enough. The acceleration won't snap your head and the body won't turn others' heads, but the Accord will always be there for you.

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

Three selected to All-American BowlDecember 7, 2011
Game will be played on Dec. 17 at Mall of America Field
Brevard, N.C. - Three Brevard College Football players were selected to the All-American Bowl to be held on December 17, 2011 at Mall of America Field at the Metrodome in Minneapolis, Minn.
Prince Simunyu, Michael Gist and Christian Lumbu have all been selected to represent the Tornados in postseason action in a game which will showcase some of the nation's top Division II and Division III college seniors, as well as free agent football players.
Simunyu led the South Atlantic Conference in tackles on the season with 111 stops in his senior year, finishing up his career earning All-Conference honors three times and was a First Team All-SAC linebacker in each of the last two seasons. Simunyu also finished his career as Brevard's all-time leading tackler behind the line of scrimmage and finished second in program history in stops behind Stanley Jones.
Gist is a two-time recipient of First Team All-SAC honors at safety and tied for third on the team with 78 tackles, while recording two interceptions on the year. For his career, Gist became the program's all-time leading interception leader, leading the team in picks in three of his four years with the Tornados, finishing with 11 overall, and also is the third-leading tackler in program history.
Lumbu battled through an injury-plagued senior season to finish second in the conference with eight sacks and was fourth in the SAC with 11.5 tackles for loss from the defensive end position. During his time with the Tornados, Lumbu became Brevard's all-time leader in sacks for a career and was among the career leaders in tackles behind the line of scrimmage.
The All American Bowl began in 1996 in Minnesota. It is designed to bring together the country's top Division II and III college seniors and free agents to compete in an All-Star bowl setting. The All American Bowl has been held annually at Mall of America Field at the HHH Metrodome, as well as several other great locations across the country like, Atlanta, Las Vegas, Dayton Beach and Miami, Florida and now Charleston, WV.

Brevard Stumbles in Season OpenerNovember 14, 2012
Misenheimer, N.C.- The Brevard College Tornados fell 85-57 to the Pfeiffer University Falcons in their season opener on Wednesday night in Merner Gym.
Pfeiffer scored 15 of the first 21 points to begin the second half to jump out to a 54-28 lead, putting the game out of reach for BC. Four Falcons scored in double figures, led by a 20-point performance by senior Brittany Cox.
The Falcons opened the game on a 14-3 run, and would lead by as many as 12 points before Brevard scored six unanswered points to cut the Pfeiffer lead to six. BC's Micheala Watkins capped off the run with a three-point play at the 5:08 mark in the first half.
Shelby Wolfe hit a pair of free throws to help keep the Tornados within six points with 3:01 left in the opening half before the Falcons closed out the half on a 13-2 run. The Falcons took a 39-22 lead into the break.
A bright spot for the Tornados was their production off the bench, most notably from Brackett and Taylor Hiatt. Brackett scored a team-high 17 points and grabbed six rebounds, while Hiatt added six points to a game-high nine rebounds.
Watkins also scored in double figures for Tornados, dropping in 13 points to go with three rebounds.
Brevard is back on the court this weekend for the Union Lady Bulldog Classic in Jackson, Tennessee. BC takes on the Lady Bulldogs on Friday night at 7 p.m., and will turn around to play Delta State on Saturday at 2 p.m.

On Being Incorporated
The term incorporated is often used to describe an organization or business that has become legalized and made official. People can become incorporated as well, as in the cases of celebrities putting trademarks on their names, their public identities as part brand, part person. For better or worse (definitely worse), regular individuals are now incorporating themselves, young girls in particular. We are spending much if not all of our leisure time doing so, whether we realize it or not, and we lack the celebrity's excuse of doing it for money.
Example: I am a girl going off to college. I meet some nice people in the first few weeks there, but nothing seems solid yet, there is no reaffirming stamp on my place in this foreign environment. I need to …

Today I had to say goodbye to my sweet kitty Sophie. Sophie was an older cat, probably around 20, I'm not sure. She had only been with me for five years, coming to me after her owner passed away. She was such a tough cookie, fighting kidney failure, feline diabetes, and arthritis. She just kept going and going, and I know she would still be going if her little body hadn't given out.
This is the first cat that I've lost as an adult and I'm just heartbroken. Even though I knew she'd be the first to go, you're never really prepared to loose one. As you probably can tell, my cats mean the world to me and I cherish every moment I have with them. These little creatures are there every day as part of your life. You build a daily routine with them and when one leaves, there's a hole.
I know this is what everyone says when someone you love passes away, but this experience is just a reminder to appreciate the time you have with your feline companions. These special little souls are each so unique — they are full of personality and can touch our lives in deep and meaningful ways. Everyone, please go give your kitties a kiss and tell them how much you love them.

Twins Worst-Case Scenario Survival Handbook
Tom Powers of the Pioneer Press looked at all of the Minnesota teams and what the best and worse case scenarios would be for each of them. He offers a lot of different things that will have to go right for the Twins to succeed and some of the things that could happen to make 2011 a disaster. Mr. Powers didn't get into much detail with each of these items so I will try and fill in some of those gaps.
Below you will see the statements that he made and how I feel the 2011 Twins will play out in relation to each of those statements.
"I hate to say it but I see similarities between the Twins of next year and the Vikings of this year." It is pretty hard to compare a professional football team and a MLB baseball team. Both teams did have a lot of veteran players that were part of their teams, but the Twins have gone in another direction. They have dumped older and slower players for more speed and youth. The Vikings stuck with their old players and it looks like a youthful Joe Webb might have been a better choice.
"The Twins' World Series window was in 2010." I sure hope not. The Twins have a core of young players that should help to keep this team viable for the foreseeable future. By investing large contracts Joe Mauer and Justin Morneau the Twins have built cornerstones to the franchise. Don't tell these players that their only window of opportunity for a World Series was last season. The Twins picked a bad time of the year to have a cold streak.
"Justin Morneau and Joe Nathan come back a hundred percent." My vote would be that Morneau will be back at close to full strength and that Joe Nathan is going to need more time. It was a sight to see for any fan that saw Morneau taking batting practice at the end of last season. He was spraying HR balls all over Target Field. With the amount of concussions that he has had in the past there are going to be challenges for him. There might be days that he needs to rest his head and Ron Gardenhire is going to have accept that for one of his star players. Nathan is not going to be 100% for most, if not all, of the 2011 season. These type of arm injuries take time to recover from and Nathan is not going to be an exception to that rule.
"Bill Smith finds a way to patch up the bullpen." Bill Smith could get lucky. All of the players that could be members of the bullpen have something to prove. Each of them could have the season of their life and find their niche in that bullpen. At this point in the offseason I see the Twins adding one other veteran arm to the bullpen and relying on the younger talent that is part of the organization. I also think that if the bullpen is an issue that Smith will try and fix it in the middle of the season. Over the last two years he has been able to add the right pieces to the puzzle to make the Twins champions of the Central.
"Carl Pavano re-signs." It's going to happen. I think that Howard Sinker summed it up best with his post earlier today on the Star Tribune website. Carl Pavano is getting older in age and probably doesn't have many seasons left in him. Does he want to play on the Twins and have a legitimate chance at contending? Or does he want to go to Washington and have only a handful of games with any meaning to them? The choice is his.
"Kyle Gibson steps into the rotation and becomes a force." Kyle Gibson will have to be part of the Twins rotation this season. I don't think he needs to be a force for the team to succeed. If he can come and give the team a boost in the second half of the season that might be as much force as they need out of him. For the 2011 season I think the ideal situation would be to need Gibson to be a number three starter behind Liriano and Pavano. He will pick up some big wins down the stretch to help the team make a run toward the post season.
"The Twins will compete for the wild-card spot. The White Sox have spent a fortune this winter and likely will win the division." The Central Division has gotten much stronger this offseason. Both the Tiger and White Sox have made some additions that could make a three-peat for the Twins quite the challenge. There is a long season where lots can go wrong for any of these teams. I will say that getting two teams into the playoffs out of the Central would be quite the accomplishment with how strong Red Sox and Yankees look on paper. If the Twins are a wild-card over one of those team I think I would be happy with how good the team looked.
"Morneau and Nathan aren't quite right." Morneau will be fine and Nathan will need time. See above for more details.
"Pavano signs elsewhere." If a team is willing to offer him a third year then he most likely will be exiting the Twin Cities. In that story-line others in the Twins organization would need to occupy the hole left in the rotation by the absence of the 'stache.
"Gibson needs several months at Class AAA Rochester." Gibson won't be in the starting rotation coming out of Spring Training. There is no way with the current contract situation in place that the Twins will bring him up until the beginning of July. He will get a few months in Rochester to get his feet under him again. Then it will be time for the bigs.
"Alexi Casilla can't handle the starting shortstop job." The Twins have plenty of other players that will be jumping at the chance to steal the starting job from Alexi Casilla. This might be good for the organization to have players pushing Casilla to keep his production at a high level. Trevor Plouffe, Luke Hughes, and Matt Tolbert will give Casilla a run for his money and that could make the infield stronger down the stretch.
"In that case, the Twins go 81-81 and the summer becomes tedious." With the way that the current roster sits. I think this is a fair assessment. There are a lot of question marks for the 2011 season, so it isn't hard to imagine there being some struggles next season. One injury, a couple bad starting pitchers, and the season can slip away in a hurry.
Here's hoping the rest of the offseason isn't too tedious...

In general, I think this is a good breakdown.
Personally, I don't think losing Pavano would be the end of the world. We have five acceptable starters without him (Liriano, Baker, Duensing, Slowey, Blackburn), so he'd just be icing. And I don't think he's the difference between a division title and also-ran status, especially with Gibson probably ready to contribute by the middle of the summer.
Honestly, I can see the Twins stumbling their way to 83-86 wins this year, and falling short of the Wild Card. Then, unburdened by the huge contracts of Nathan and Cuddyer, they can spend a little more on middle infield help in 2012.
Regarding Casilla, I have no doubt that other players would love to take the SS job from him, but none of the guys you identify have the talent to do that. Hughes is not a middle infielder. Tolbert is horribly stretched outside of 2B and is an abysmal hitter. Plouffe is a right-handed Nick Punto if everything breaks right. I think the Twins badly misread their MI positions this Winter, and that's a huge weakness for the team in 2011.

Hughes has played about as many games at 2B (225) as at 3B (265). So there is a possibility, even if it is a small one, that he could man 2B and have Nishioka at SS.
But yeah I agree with you, the middle infield could be a giant hole next season.

My hubby passed away on Sunday morning after a brave fight against Alzheimers and Vascular Dementia. He had suffered for 5 years with it. He was 61 years old. I feel very numb but supporting my sons and other relations.
I am now in the nightmare of registering his death and arrangements for his funeral. He has donated his brain to Dementia research, which is a lovely memorial for him, he did this via a living will which he completed as soon as he knew he had Dementia.
I feel numb.

Hi all,
I'm having problems to get my nvidia drivers working. I've downloaded the latest compatible driver for my video cart (Gforce 6600 Turbo), this file is named NVIDIA-Linux-x86-256.35.run. So I made it executable and ran it my console as root with ./NVIDIA-Linux-x86-256.35.run.
The installation goes flawless, but when I rebooted the driver wasn't working? I've already reconfigured the Xserver with the setting that Xserver is not using the framebuffer but this doesn't make a difference.
I have to say that I'm using two video-carts in my computer, one of ATI and one of Nvidia, ant they are both connected to my monitor without a KVM-switch. But before i run an OS I select in the BIOS settings which cart should do the work.
Does any1 know how I can get my driver working, or maybe there's somewhere a tutorial with a step by step explanation which things I should check to find the cause of this problem.
I have to say that I've installed this driver when BT4 was still on kernel 2.6.30. I've tried to reinstall the driver now my system is on 2.6.34 but then I get the following error:
Using: nvidia-installer ncurses user interface

installed on your system. If you specified a separate
output directory using either the "KBUILD_OUTPUT" or
the "O" KBUILD parameter, make sure to specify this
directory with the SYSOUT environment variable or with
the equivalent nvidia-installer command line option.
Depending on where and how the kernel sources (or the
kernel headers) were installed, you may need to specify
their location with the SYSSRC environment variable or
the equivalent nvidia-installer command line option.
ERROR: Installation has failed. Please see the file
'/var/log/nvidia-installer.log' for details. You may find suggestions
on fixing installation problems in the README available on the Linux
driver download page at Welcome to NVIDIA - World Leader in Visual Computing Technologies.
If some1 knows how I can uninstall the driver and then reinstall it, please tell me. In Ubuntu 10.04 this worked by solving the same problem but then for ATI drivers.

I tried "Eth0 up" "wlan0 up", "iwconfig" , and a variety of other commands I found on other posts all to no avail. When I run the virtual box on my desktop I am able to connect to my wired connection but I really set this up to use booting from USB on my satellite laptop. Someone please help.

College Football Recap, Oct. 21
Monday, October 21, 2013
Here's a brief look at the results of the Top 25 from this past weekend. The rankings used in this recap are the AP rankings entering the games. IT'S A DOG-EAT-DOG WORLD IN THE SEC
Ole Miss 27, #6 LSU 24: Not only did Ole Miss upset the Tigers, but it also controlled the game, piling up 525 yards to LSU's 288 while forcing three turnovers, but it still came down to Andrew Ritter's 41-yard field goal with 2 seconds to go to wrap up the thriller.Tennessee 23, #11 South Carolina 21: A spectacular one-handed catch by freshman Marquez North set up a 19-yard field goal by Michael Palardy as the Volunteers snapped a 19-game losing streak to ranked opponents - the Gamecocks lost more than the game as well as quarterback Connor Shaw went down with a knee injury late in the contest.#24 Auburn 45, #7 Texas A&M 41: Tre Mason runs for 178 yards, including a 53-yard run to set up the game-winning touchdown, which he also scored on a five-yard stretch with 1:19 to go as the Tigers, who were winless in the SEC last year, shock the Aggies despite another big game from Johnny Manziel (454 passing yards, 5 total TDs). Vanderbilt 31, #15 Georgia 27: Trailing by 13 in the fourth quarter, Vandy rallies for 17 unanswered points, capped by a 13-yard touchdown run by Jerron Seymour with 2:53 left, to pick up its first SEC victory against the injury-depleted Bulldogs.DON'T CRY OVER SPILT MILK

#5 Florida State 51, #3 Clemson 14: What was expected to be a thriller in Death Valley turned into a Heisman commercial for FSU's redshirt freshman quarterback Jameis Winston, who throws for 444 yards and three touchdowns while the Seminoles defense holds the Tigers to 326 yards and forces four turnovers.#4 Ohio State 34, Iowa 24: In what was expected to be another routine victory, the Buckeyes find themselves in a tie game entering the fourth quarter, but Carlos Hyde caps his 149-yard rushing day with his second TD of the afternoon as Ohio State collects its 19th straight victory.Arizona State 53, #20 Washington 20: Taylor Kelly records 352 yards and four touchdowns while the Sun Devil defense is dominant, holding the Huskies to just 212 total yards as they suffer their second straight loss in Pac-12 play.DON'T COUNT YOUR CHICKENS BEFORE THEY HATCH
UCF 38, #8 Louisville 35: Many had the Cardinals penciled in for an undefeated season, but the Golden Knights had other plans as Storm Johnson had 188 all-purpose yards and two touchdowns and Blake Bortles found Jeff Godfrey for a touchdown with 23 seconds to go for a thrilling finish to put UCF in the driver's seat for the AAC title.IT IS WHAT IT IS
#1 Alabama 52, Arkansas 0: With SEC schools beating each other up all day, the Crimson Tide simply goes about its business, running for 352 yards, getting a solid game from AJ McCarron and holding its fifth straight opponent to single digits in scoring with its second shutout of the year.#2 Oregon 62, Washington State 38: The Duck offense continues to pile up video-game numbers as Marcus Mariota throws for 327 yards and two scores and Brandon Marshall runs for 192 yards and three touchdowns in another blowout win.#12 Baylor 71, Iowa State 7: After "sputtering" last week with only 35 points, Baylor's offense gets back on track with its fourth 70-point effort of the year as it wins its school-record 10th straight game, out-gaining the Cyclones, 714-174.#17 Fresno State 38, UNLV 14: The Bulldogs continue to roll over their Mountain West foes, cruising to victory over a UNLV squad which had a four-game winning streak, as Derek Carr throws for 400 yards and becomes the school's all-time leader with 86 touchdown passes.#23 Northern Illinois 38, Central Michigan 17: Jordan Lynch has a record-breaking day, rushing for 316 yards, an FBS record for quarterbacks, as the Huskies continue their dominance of the MAC with their 20th straight league win, the longest streak in the nation.#25 Wisconsin 56, Illinois 32: The Badgers continue to showcase their potent running attack as Melvin Gordon rushes for 142 yards and three touchdowns, while James White runs for 98 yards and two scores (while catching another).IT AIN'T OVER TIL THE FAT LADY SINGS

Top Upcoming Games
(current BCS rankings, all times Central)#9 Clemson at Maryland (2:30 p.m., ESPN): The Tigers will look to recover from their loss to Florida State and keep their BCS hopes alive when they go on the road against an improved Maryland team.#10 Texas Tech at #15 Oklahoma (2:30 p.m., FOX): The surprising Red Raiders have climbed into the top-10, but they've done it without playing a ranked opponent - this will be their first challenge as preseason Big 12 favorite Oklahoma hosts them.North Carolina State at #2 Florida State (2:30 p.m., ABC/ESPN2): The Seminoles easily won what was arguably the biggest game in ACC history this past Saturday; now they need to stay focused as the unranked Wolfpack comes to Tallahassee - N.C. State shocked FSU last year to spoil the 'Noles' hopes to get into the national championship picture.#12 UCLA at #3 Oregon (6 p.m., ESPN): The Bruins had national championship hopes, but a loss to Stanford this past Saturday put a major crimp in those plans; now they have the unenviable task of taking on the high-powered Ducks in Eugene; though even with a loss, they will still be in line to make the Pac-12 title game.#21 South Carolina at #5 Missouri (6 p.m., ESPN2): Last year, many questioned if Missouri belonged in the SEC; this year, they are making a case to be considered in the national championship picture, as they lead the SEC East with a perfect record.#6 Stanford at #25 Oregon State (9:30 p.m., ESPN): Stanford will bring its tough defense to Corvallis where it will face one of the more prolific offenses in the country in Oregon State, which has won six straight after a season-opening loss.
Each week the Allstate Sugar Bowl will make its YouTube Picks of the Week, including impressive off-field performances, great games, illuminating features and top highlights such as these highlights from UCF's big upset win over Louisville on Friday night.

Chemotherapy for Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma in Children
Chemotherapy (chemo) is the main treatment for non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) in children. Chemo uses anti-cancer drugs that are usually given into a vein or taken by mouth. These drugs enter the bloodstream and reach all areas of the body, making this treatment very useful for cancers that tend to spread widely, such as NHL. In some cases where the lymphoma may have reached the brain or spinal cord, chemo may also be given into the cerebrospinal fluid (known as intrathecal chemo).
Children with NHL get a combination of several chemo drugs over a period of time. The number of drugs, their doses, and the length of treatment depend on the type and stage of the lymphoma. Some of the drugs commonly used to treat childhood lymphoma include:
- Cyclophosphamide (Cytoxan)
- Vincristine (Oncovin)
- Doxorubicin (Adriamycin)
- Prednisone
- Dexamethasone
- Cytarabine, also known as ara-C (Cytosar)
- Methotrexate
- L-asparaginase (Elspar), PEG-L-asparaginase (pegaspargase, Oncaspar)
- Etoposide (VePesid, others)
- 6-mercaptopurine (Purinethol)
- Ifosfamide (Ifex)
Doctors give chemo in cycles. Each chemo cycle generally lasts for several weeks. A period of treatment is followed by a rest period to allow the body time to recover. Most chemo treatments are given on an outpatient basis (in the doctor's office or clinic or hospital outpatient department), but some – especially at the start of treatment – may need to be given while the child stays in the hospital.
For more information on chemotherapy, see the Chemotherapy section of our website.
Possible risks and side effects of chemotherapy
Chemo drugs attack cells that are dividing quickly, which is why they work against cancer cells. But other cells in the body, such as those in the bone marrow (where new blood cells are made), the lining of the mouth and intestines, and the hair follicles, also divide quickly. These cells are also likely to be affected by chemotherapy, which can lead to side effects.
The side effects of chemo depend on the type and dose of drugs given and how long they are taken. These side effects can include:
- Hair loss
- Mouth sores
- Loss of appetite
- Nausea and vomiting
- Diarrhea
- Increased chance of infections (due to low white blood cell counts)
- Easy bruising or bleeding (due to low blood platelet counts)
- Fatigue (due to low red blood cell counts)
These side effects are usually short-lived and go away after treatment is finished. If serious side effects occur, chemotherapy may have to be reduced or delayed.
There are often ways to lessen these side effects. For example, drugs can be given to help prevent or reduce nausea and vomiting. Infections can be very serious in people getting chemo. Drugs known as growth factors can be given to keep the blood cell counts higher.
Tumor lysis syndrome is a possible side effect of chemotherapy in children who have large numbers of lymphoma cells in the body before treatment. It occurs most often with the first cycle of chemo. When chemo kills these cells, they break open and release their contents into the bloodstream. This can overwhelm the kidneys, which aren't able to get rid of all of these substances at once. Excess amounts of certain minerals may also cause problems for the heart and nervous system. This can be prevented by making sure the child gets lots of fluids during treatment and by giving drugs such as bicarbonate, allopurinol, and rasburicase, which help the body get rid of these substances.
Some possible side effects occur only with certain drugs. For example, drugs such as doxorubicin can damage the heart. Your child's doctor may order heart function tests (like a MUGA scan or echocardiogram) if your child is getting one of these drugs.
Be sure to ask your child's doctor or nurse about any specific side effects you should watch for and about what you can do to help reduce them.
Along with the side effects listed above, there are possible long-term effects of chemotherapy in children, such as possible effects on fertility later in life. These are described in Late and Long-term Effects of Treatment for Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma in Children.

What books are helpful if you've experienced a miscarriage
Does anyone have any recommendations for books that are helpful for women and their families following miscarriage? The books I have in my collection are getting old now and I would like to update my collection. Unfortunately I support women all to frequently following a miscarriage and I'd like to offer them some resources that will help them through their experience.
I have just finished reading a little book called "The Sound of Silence: Journeys Through Miscarriage" edited by Irma Gold. It is a lovely little book sharing women's stories of miscarriage. I will be adding this one to my collection.

I have just reviewed the book "The Sound of Silence Journey Through Miscarriage" and posted it in the book review section of www.pregnancy.com.au.

|Our "new" meters. Can you see the crazy?
Makes no dollars or sense
The signs have been there for weeks - slate gray metal poles cropping up on both sides of Martin Luther King Jr, Ave in Anacostia's Business District.
Understandably, the idea of parking meters coming to a community that had free parking is being met with some resistance. In part, the outrage stems from the lack of community input or notice that the parking meters were even coming. The parking stems just appeared one day, and according to a long-time Anacostia street vendor, Council Member Barry was even in the dark about their arrival.
Today, the Parking Operations crew was back and this time they brought the "heads" for the "new" parking meters and boy are they anything but.
Anacostia, meet your "new" parking meters! Old coin operated parking meters from Northwest (peep the meter ID numbers). The days of free parking are over. You will now be required to pay for parking Monday thru Saturday.
Your "new" parking meters come equipped with battle scars, dents, dings, missing paint, and slots for you to deposit your coins. The "new" stickers don't even make sense. Paid parking is Monday - Friday but is enforced on Saturdays.
I'm doing something that I always said I would try not to do, blog while mad but I can't help it. This tomfoolery has to stop. To be clear, I am not mad because of the appearance of the parking meters themselves (although I find the idea of parking meters in Anacostia now ill-timed and ill-informed).
I am HEATED because I am tired of constantly having to highlight cases like this where Ward 8 and East of the River is constantly getting the short (and old) end of the stick. Why is it okay for nice new (and modern) things to go west of the river but those of us East of the River have to settle for cast-offs, hand-me-downs and lower class service (if service at all)? Let me rephrase that, I am not just mad, I am disappointed and sad.
My taxes (and parking meter fees) paid for those shiny new meters on Barracks Row, U Street, and Adams Morgan. Why do I have to come home to Mickey Mouse stuff just because my zip code is 20020 or 20032?
|A work in progress.
I just don't understand it! Who makes these decisions? Who says, "well just send those old meters we took out of the Golden Triangle and install them in Anacostia?"
I can't even articulate what that does to a community's morale. It's hurtful, it's insulting, and it's infuriating. I am so mad right now I can barely type (please excuse the typos) because this is the type of stuff that we are fighting on a regular basis. Forget trying to get improved services, we are just trying to get the standard level of things that the rest of the city enjoys - like cupcakes and parking meters. I am constantly having to argue/shame my way into getting things in Ward 8 and I am not the only one.
While the city contractor was installing the "new" heads for our "new" parking meters several people on the street asked him if these "new" meters would be able to take credit cards? His response? "No." I then asked him why we didn't get the new multi-space machines because frankly these stick meters are hideous, especially in a historic district like Anacostia. His response, "We [Anacostia] have to first raise the $20,000 to pay for that expensive machine."
Really? I guess I better get started on my Parking Meter Telethon right away.
Maybe the contractor who installed the "new" parking meters was wrong. Maybe we will get those add-on credit card readers that go over the old parking meters, but I have to ask the question, "Why didn't we just get the new meters that already had that capability?! Why not a multi-space meter? Why did we have to get the old meters period? Is the Anacostia business district less than other DC business districts?"
Someone on Twitter told me that perhaps I was making a big deal out of nothing, perhaps we will get the ParkMobile service because that program is supposed to be for the whole city. I have no idea if the ParkMobile program will be extended to Anacostia and at this point I am not even really optimistic. BTW to even use ParkMobile you have to have a cell phone or a smart phone.
When it comes to city services and amneties there seems to be "the city" and then there is "East of the River" and those two don't always mean the same thing. I haven't seen a single sign or indicator that ParkMobile is going to be activated for Anacostia going to happen and if so I am almost afraid to see what they will look like. I hope we do at least get ParkMobile because if not, I guess I better start stocking up on my rolls of quarters.
If this is the "new" Ward 8 I kind of prefer the old one. At least then the parking was free.
P.S. DC really needs to inform their contractors to be polite. I very nicely asked one of the gentleman doing the install a question and he wouldn't even turn around to acknowledge me. I guess he got the memo, we don't really matter here in Anacostia.
Update 11/18: According to @DDOTDC they will be coming out today to fix the meters because either the signage is wrong or the heads were installed improperly. Currently the posted meter rates are 25 cents per every 7 1/2 minutes. The correct rate is 75cents per hour.

Great guy and deserving champion. Have a look at this:
"Backstage, it kicked in that I was going to be fighting for a world title so I was crying my eyes out in the changing room. Not because I was hurt, but because this was a big thing! I was sick, I was crying, I had the shits, everything! These tournaments, your emotions are just up and down. People dont realise."

I know that my posts are always simplistic, almost to the point of perhaps being annoying to the advanced users here. This is not my intention.
It is also not my intention to suggest that anyone read any further, if they are concerned about the possibility of breaking anything within their BackTrack install. Fair warning.
I would like to make this post, in the hopes that new users may pick up a tip, on how to ferret out answers on their own, or if someone has the same problem, etc.
This was done within BackTrack 5 GNOME 64bit.
Here was my problem: I really do not like gnome-terminal. I really do like terminator. Maybe, simply removing gnome-terminal with an apt-get remove gnome-terminal, and installing terminator is the answer. Not such a good idea. apt-get remove gnome-terminal wants to remove gnome-core as well. Looks kind of scary. Didn't do this. Proceeded as follows:
That's all good. Now, make sure terminator is the preferred terminal (Google is my friend here)...Code:
#apt-get install terminator
All good as well, this has automatically been set to terminator.Code:
#update-alternatives --config x-terminal-emulator
Ensured that terminator is the preferred terminal in System>Preferences>Preferred Applications>System Tab. All good there too.
Enter problem - BackTrack has Many, many custom launchers in the GNOME Panel menu. I don't spend a lot of time in the menu, preferring a shell, but I am anal about some things (esp. when I can't get them to work). Opening any of these launchers from the Panel menu, they open in gnome-terminal, instead of terminator. This is not preferred. ")
Used google-fu. Couldn't find answer. Broke down and went to #terminator on freenode (IRC is our friend, as long as we ask questions thoughtfully, and are most respectful to other users). Met a nice person named candrea. We spoke about the problem. candrea says this is a bug, inherent to Ubuntu's GNOME Panel menu, which does not honor config settings. They suggest a script, using regular expressions to run these launchers. This idea is excellent, but the menu changes from time to time, with updates.
candrea says,
I say, "brilliant!"Code:
ln -s /usr/bin/terminator /usr/bin/gnome-terminal
I back up my gnome-terminal (I say back up, but I'm kind of removing gnome-terminal here).
Then I create the symbolic link that candrea suggested. Voila! All apps set to run in terminal are forced to run in terminator.Code:
#mv /usr/bin/gnome-terminal /usr/bin/gnome-terminal-old
I tell candrea they are a genius.
Problem solved. Search, read, ask, walk away, think, come back, do, break, fix, learn, repeat, spread good karma around when possible (not necessarily in that order).

SAINT LEO, Fla. –The Saint Leo baseball team (4-2) swept Saturday's doubleheader against Columbus State (2-4) on Saturday afternoon from Thomas B. Southard Stadium. The Lions took game one by a score of 5-4 after a walk-off single by Dillon Vitale. Game two, which took just an hour and eight minutes, featured a Charles Neely complete game to give the Lions a 3-1 win.
In game one the Lions took a 2-0 nothing lead early and rode that lead all the way into the seventh inning behind Rick Teasley's solid pitching performance. Teasley tossed seven and a third innings while not allowing an earned run and striking out five.
Saint Leo scored two more runs in the sixth inning to take a 4-1 lead but the Cougars rallied in the eighth and ninth innings to tie the game at four. It was then that the Lions ninth inning magic began when Michael Revell doubled in the gap to set up Vitale's single into right field that brought home the winning run.
Taylor Perez led the Lions offense in the opening game of the double-header with two hits. Adam Albers collected the win after coming in to get the third out in the top of the ninth inning.
In the second game of the double-header the Lions took a 2-0 lead in the bottom of the first and were in control for the remainder of the game. Columbus State scored its only run in the top of the fourth but the Lions quickly countered in the bottom half of the inning to regain a two-run lead.
Neely earned his second win in as many starts while striking out eight and surrendering just thee hits in the complete game performance.
Seven different Lions' batters tallied hits in game two with RBIs coming from Revell, Ryan Brnovich, and Chris Newcomb.
The third and final game of the three-game series against Columbus State will be played tomorrow with first pitch slated for 1:00 p.m.

Hi Everyone, so i recently installed BT5R1 KDE 64 using Windows 7 64 bit (Dual boot). After installed, i noticed that i could not pick up on my wireless signal in the network program. To my knowledge, there is some sort of compatibility issue and maybe a missing driver or update.
Here is my specs: Aspire X3950
Intel Core I3 550 3.2Ghz
NVIDIA GeForce 315
Netgear WNDA 3100, USB Adapter
1TB Hardrive
To add to that, i have been doing some research for the last few hours fix this problem. Including FAQ on homepage using command /etc/init.d/networking/start(No response). Secondly, the command "airmong-ng" and this command borders displayed , but with no information underneath.
Is it possible i may have to d/l/reinstall?, possibly R3? im not sure the major differences
Please, if there is more information needed, or something more i can add onto let me know! Thanks for any support guys

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) -- The conservative American Legislative Exchange Council is responding to a report in which a coalition of liberal policy groups says it has provided language for 32 bills introduced the Ohio legislature, including nine that became laws.
The coalition's report released Monday says ALEC paid "scholarships" averaging $1,900 to 20 Ohio legislators for travel and other costs for conferences in New Orleans, San Diego and elsewhere. The Washington, D.C.-based council gets most funding from corporate entities.
An ALEC spokeswoman on Tuesday said the group is a "nonprofit, nonpartisan organization that takes no role in partisan activities and has no involvement in campaign contributions made by any individual, company, or political action committee."
She also says the group's model legislation must be approved by a board that does not include corporate members.

STOP. THINK. CONNECT.™ is the first-ever coordinated message to help all digital citizens stay safer and more secure online. The message was created by an unprecedented coalition of private companies, nonprofits and government organizations.
The Anti-Phishing Working Group (APWG) and National Cyber Security Alliance (NCSA) led the effort to find a unified online safety message that could be adopted across public and private sectors.
We will encourage Americans to be more vigilant about practicing safe, online habits; ensure that Internet safety is perceived as a shared responsibility at home, in the workplace, and throughout our communities; and transform the way the public and private sectors and the federal government collaborate to make cybersecurity a reality.
