Office of Public and Intergovernmental Affairs
Remarks by Secretary Eric K. Shinseki
Student Veterans of America, 4th Annual Convention
University of Wisconsin
June 3, 2011
Gerald [Kapinos, Program Director], thank you for that kind introduction and for inviting me here today.
- Chancellor Martin, I appreciate the University of Wisconsin's hospitality;
- Rodrigo Garcia, SVA board chair;
- Michael Dakduk, Executive Director;
- SVA members and alumni, fellow Veterans, distinguished guests, ladies and gentlemen:
I am honored to be here to congratulate SVA on its many accomplishments on behalf of Veterans. When I last spoke to you in October 2010, I congratulated you on moving quickly to establish yourselves as the premier advocacy group for helping all Veterans, but especially OEF-OIF Veterans, find better jobs and better futures through education. I encouraged you then to take a lead role in helping Veterans transition quickly from the highly structured, high-stress, super-vigilant operational environments many of you experienced in the military to a largely unstructured student life—yet not without its own demands, confusion, frustration, stress, and isolation that confronted more than just a few of you.
I further encouraged establishing sponsorship programs on each of our 6,500 participating campuses to ensure each arriving Veteran—freshman or graduate student—transitioned smoothly into a better, more welcoming, higher-payoff academic experience than you had when you first arrived on campus.
I'm only asking you to do what good units do—become learning organizations that improve continuously over time. The goal here is academic excellence and productivity for each student Veteran, earning—in the process—the respect of academicians for our Veterans as serious students, as having intellectual strengths, and as value-added to the college experiences of others.
It may sound like a tall order, but this should be a chip shot for those who have internalized military values, absorbed service cultures, and acquired the operational mindset that goes with getting things done in a time-sensitive, high-precision, multi-task, no-fail environment.
You know what I'm talking about. That culture is captured in the creeds and slogans, the habits and rhythms, the cadences you have followed during your military service. If you think those disciplines only had value when you wore the uniforms, I think you will find otherwise. There may be no company commanders or first sergeants in your midst, but that does not make you less a unit. Your shared experiences, alone, make you one. And you have tremendous organizing skills, learned in the world's best military. Don't let them go to waste.
In the words of one creed:
- I will always place the mission first.
- I will never accept defeat.
- I will never quit.
- I will never leave a fallen comrade.
At first glance, these lines sound like bumper stickers. But a closer reading reveals them to be the promises one makes to one's teammates about being there on the worst of days when danger is high, the risks are real, everyone is afraid, and the adversary is good enough to test us.
The mission's changed, but you have not. The objective today is gaining a college education, and I expect all of you to study hard, earn your degrees, and cross a graduation stage in the coming years—and I expect you, as SVA leaders, to lead other Veterans to successful outcomes. The mission is clear, defeat is not an option, no one quits, and no one gets left behind. Figure it out. If I sound like dad, I am dad—I pay most of the bills; I worry about how you are doing; and I look forward to graduation day. So, make me happy—you may get a new car as a graduation gift!
Some of you—perhaps more than some—are "carrying baggage." That's a euphemism for PTS—post traumatic stress. Those who have come home from combat before you to pursue college degrees understand that transition. It takes time, but we all come through it. On the most difficult days, it's comforting to have a good formation around you, and SVA can be that good formation.
Since the GI Bill's implementation in 2009, over 518,000 Veterans and family members have enrolled in college; when you include all other college education programs, that number exceeds 800,000. Great news!
But here's what we also know: Nationally, among all students entering four-year institutions, only 57 percent graduate. Early indications suggest graduation rates for Veteran students are lower than that—perhaps significantly lower. I'm not proud of that kind of statistic, and you shouldn't be either.
And for those who might think that these are personal failures—that the drop outs just couldn't hang—well, that violates the creed I just recited to you. Every failure is our collective failure; every drop-out is our defeat, our quit, our abandoned comrade. And if you don't care about this attrition factor, your complacency risks the continuation of this program for Veterans coming behind you. The best way to ensure continuation of this program is to make it a high payoff for the American people—and graduation is that payoff.
So, next academic year, Fall 2011, we will require schools to report Veterans' programs of study, Veterans on academic probation and those terminated for unsatisfactory progress, and Veterans' graduation rates.
I've never been able to solve problems I could not see—and when those reports are available in 2012, we'll know how to best help those Veterans who are struggling—and how serious the problem is with Veterans not graduating. But I already know this—the people sitting in this room are those best equipped to help their brethren-in-arms be successful. I need and the Nation expects you to help.
I don't know whether the drafters of the original GI Bill of 1944 had any idea about the impact that their landmark legislation would ultimately have—but, we now know, it dramatically reshaped our Nation. By the time it expired in 1956, after just 12 years, 7.8 million of 16 million World War II Veterans had been educated. Historian Milton Greenberg wrote that the original GI Bill enriched America by:
- 450,000 trained engineers;
- 240,000 accountants;
- 238,000 teachers;
- 91,000 scientists;
- 67,000 doctors;
- 22,000 dentists;
- And a million other college educated Veterans.
They, and millions of other vocationally trained and educated Veterans, provided the leadership that catapulted our economy to the world's largest, and our Nation to global pre-eminence in the latter half of the 20th century.
They took their educational opportunity and leveraged breakthroughs in automation, business, medicine, science, transportation, technology and so much more. Their discoveries laid the foundation for today's cutting-edge technologies and created an economically strong, more vibrant, and resilient America.
Veterans have shouldered heavy responsibilities for the Nation over the past nine years. This new GI Bill clearly demonstrates the Nation's respect and appreciation for your service and sacrifice, much as it did for your grandfathers following World War II.
History may be poised to repeat itself—it's in your hands. The post-9/11 GI Bill has every potential of transforming our country in globally significant ways. You can have an equally resounding impact on America. The question is, are you up to it? Do you have the strategic vision, individually and collectively, to reshape the world as the World War II generation did? Are you determined enough to take this on? If you aren't, we have the wrong people benefiting from the generosity of the American people.
The President has done everything in his power to provide you the same opportunity to reshape our country and the world the way that the World War II generation did. Thanks to President Obama, we are well positioned to provide the best in programs, services, and benefits. Let me explain.
President Obama's 2010 budget of $114 billion represented a 16% increase over the 2009 budget, and is the largest single-year increase in over 30 years.
His 2011 budget of $125 billion—an $11 billion, 10% increase over 2010—has given us needed firepower to increase your access to our benefits and healthcare services and to end the disability claims backlog.
His 2012 budget request, currently before the Congress, seeks $132.2 billion dollars for this department to better care for Veterans and transform itself for the 21st century—increasing Veteran access to our services and benefits; eliminating the frustration of backlogged disability claims; and ending the shame of Veterans homelessness.
Regarding disability claims, in July 2010, we simplified claims processing for Veterans suffering from PTSD. No longer focusing on documenting a stressor event, our new process streamlines the delivery of medical care and benefits to Veterans suffering verifiable PTSD resulting from combat. This is not just about Iraq and Afghanistan. It is a generational issue—and we aim to get it right for every generation who has gone to war for this country, and all future generations who will deploy on missions unknown today to places we have yet to hear about.
Mental health is an extremely high priority for VA. Since our 2009 Mental Health Summit, co-hosted with the Department of Defense, we have looked for ways to increase our momentum, our reach, and our sense of urgency. Last year, we provided $4.5 billion for mental health programs and launched a workforce surge to bring our staffing to over 21,000. This year, fiscal year 2011, we are spending an additional $542 million for a total mental health budget allocation of $5.7 billion.
For traumatic brain injury, we've fielded a new disability rating system to improve how claims are evaluated.
In this rich and powerful Nation, roughly 76,000 Veterans are homeless on any given night. Over the past six years, we have reduced Veteran homelessness by nearly 90,000. We intend to end Veteran homelessness in the next four years.
In 2010, we provided $3.7 billion to homelessness; in 2011, we invested $4.3 billion; and in 2012, we have requested $4.9 billion.
From healthcare to homelessness, VA is there for any Veteran who needs the care and benefits promised by President Lincoln when, in the wake of an earlier war, he called on America, "to care for [those] who shall have borne the battle."
We are inspired daily by stories of young men and women, wounded in battle, whose sheer determination to rise above their injuries have re-defined courage for us. Some are in this room this morning.
In closing, let me turn to the words of another young president who placed so much hope, faith, and trust in the young people of America. In the speech he was to deliver in Dallas on the day he was assassinated, President Kennedy had written, "leadership and learning are indispensable to each other." I know President Obama shares that view because it is right.
So, as you pursue your degrees, you are preparing yourselves for leadership—of your communities and our country. You are America's future—the ones who will lead this great Nation well into the 21st century. And just as the president and I believe that individual Americans are, and always will be, America's most powerful resource, we also know that the young men and women who stood in our military formations will always be America's measure of courage, perseverance, and patriotism. Few have given more in devotion and service to their fellow citizens.
I salute every one of you in the audience this morning. Graduate. Make us proud. Continue to serve the Nation.
God bless those who serve, and have served our Nation in uniform. And may God continue to bless this wonderful country of ours.
Thank you.

Winston-Salem, N.C. - The Tornados battled the Rams even throughout the second half, but Brevard was unable to overcome a 13-point halftime deficit in falling on the road Monday night in the Clarence E. Gaines Center to Winston-Salem State University, 77-64.
Josh Roper led all scorers with 21 points as the Tornados (7-6) overcame first half shooting woes to hit 38.5 percent (25-65) of their field goal attempts in the contest. Roper added eight rebounds, six steals and four assists to lead the Tornados. Gaither Hendrix added 18 points, hitting four three-pointers as Brevard falls in their third straight contest.
Shelton Carter led Winston-Salem State (13-3) with a team-high 18 points, while Paul Davis recorded the double-double with 14 points and 11 rebounds. Lamar Monger rounded out the Rams in double figures with 16 points as Winston-Salem State connected on 53.4 percent (31-58) of their field goal attempts in the game.
Josh Jordan and Roper combined for Brevard's first nine points of the contest, but the Rams jumped out to an 18-9 lead with 12:15 remaining in the opening period as Corey Morris drove in for the layup. The first half lead grew to 13 points at 26-13 following a layup by McIntoche Alcius, but the Tornados battled back as Hendrix drove into the lane for a layup and Roper connected on a three-pointer to bring Brevard back within eight at the 6:30 mark.
The Tornados would keep the game within single digits the remainder of the first half, until a late surge by the Rams following a layup by Schauss, put the WSSU up 13 as the teams broke for halftime, with the hosts holding the 37-24 advantage.
Brevard was led at the half by Roper as the senior guard scored a game-high 10 points, but the Tornados were unable to find the range outside the arc, connecting on one of 13 three-pointers, hitting 7.1 percent from three-point land.
Roper opened the second half with a layup at the 18:59 mark as the Tornados began their comeback. With Winston-Salem State up 46-36 following a three-pointer by Dominic Alston, Hendrix went on an 11-2 run against the Rams, hitting a pair of free throws and three three-pointer, the last two on back-to-back possessions as Brevard cut the lead all the way back to 48-47 with 10:18 to go in the contest.
Coming out of a timeout after the final Hendrix three, the Rams went on a scoring run of their own, getting points on seven of their next eight offensive possessions, outscoring the Tornados 17-2 over a four minute span to go up 65-49 with 6:32 to play.
Hendrix ended the drought with his fourth three-pointer of the contest, as the Tornados geared up for one last comeback attempt against the Rams, bringing the score back to within nine points on a layup by Roper at the 4:03 mark and a eight points as Schauss hit a three-pointer with 3:24 remaining, but WSSU closed out the win in the Clarence E. Gaines Center, 77-64.
The Tornados return home on Wednesday, January 26th, as they continue South Atlantic Conference play on the season by hosting the Newberry Wolves. Tipoff in Boshamer Gymnasium is set for 8 p.m.

5 Best Moments From Debut of 'Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon'
Photo: NBC Universal
By Kathleen Perricone
Monday night marked the beginning of a new era … The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon!
And the premiere was just as fun and entertaining — and full of surprises — as Jimmy promised it would be.
In his opening monologue, the comedian joked, "I'm Jimmy Fallon, and I'm your host …. for now," referencing Conan O'Brien's brief tenure in the same job in 2011 before it was given back to Jay Leno.
Jimmy then gave props to his parents, and when the camera panned to them … they had nosebleed seats. Watch below at 2:24:
Jimmy also handed out Tonight Show superlatives to the Olympians in Sochi. The first went to American snowboarder Chas Guldemond, to whom Jimmy awarded Most Likely to Host an Award Show on HGTV.
Following the monologue, Jimmy took a seat at his desk and expressed his appreciation to everyone for their support. "I wanna say thanks to all the fans for their support. And to my buddy who said that I'd never be the host of The Tonight Show — and you know who you are — you owe me one hundred bucks, buddy!"
Then a parade of celebs, including Kim Kardashian, Mariah Carey, Tina Fey, and Lindsay Lohan all came out one by one to give Jimmy $100 (Stephen Colbert paid his debt in pennies, naturally)
Jimmy's first guest, Will Smith, then pulled off "The Evolution of Hip-Hop Dancing," a variation of Jimmy and Justin Timberlake's wildly popular "History of Rap." This new version included Jimmy and Will in overalls while pulling off moves such as "The Cabbage Patch," "The Running Man," "The Humpty Dance," and "The Steal the Face."
Jimmy's first musical guest, U2, closed out the show by performing their brand new single, "Invisible," on the roof of Rockefeller Center … and in the freezing cold!

This week, an article at Slate has been making the rounds in which Sean Carroll, a Caltech physicist, proclaims loudly that he will never accept research funding from the Templeton Foundation. The Templeton Foundation is one of the largest non-governmental funders of scientific research in the world, and it distinguishes itself from other organizations through its interest in religion and its mandate to address the "big questions" like the meaning and purpose of life. Carroll and others believe that this religion-science collaboration stains of the purity of science, and I think this is great. It means there's more Templeton research funding for me, my colleagues, and others who think that religion needs to be taken seriously. [Read more…]

GSA Awards Contract to Service-Disabled, Veteran-Owned Small Businesses
December 19, 2006
Contact: Jon Anderson (202) 501-1231
WASHINGTON, DC - The U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) announced award of the Veterans Technology for Services (VETS) Governmentwide Acquisition Contract (GWAC) to more than 40 serviced-disabled, veteran-owned contractors. Eligible contractors will now be able to compete for federal government procurements under this contract set-aside that has a five-year option period and potential overall value of $5 billion. VETS will provide cutting edge technology solutions to federal agencies without the expense and time involved in open market set-aside procurements.
"At GSA, we're doing our part to ensure that federal contracting opportunities are available to our nation's service-disabled veterans" said GSA's Administrator Lurita Doan. "These veterans placed the nation's security before their own lives, and that sacrifice creates a debt we can never fully repay, but we can and should try."
VETS' broad contract scope provides information security, information systems engineering and systems operations and maintenance. A complete list of industry partners is available on www.FedBizOpps.gov under solicitation number 6FG2005MTV00001 and on the VETS GWAC website at www.gsa.gov/vetsgwac. With the addition of VETS, GSA adds to its contract portfolio that includes offerings from small disadvantaged 8(a) firms and historically underutilized business zone (HUBZone) small businesses, as well as large-business integrators. Awards were made by GSA's Small Business GWAC Center located in Kansas City, Missouri.
The Veterans Entrepreneurship Act and Small Business Development Act of 1999 established an annual government-wide goal of not less than 3 percent of the value of prime contract and subcontract awards for participation by small business concerns owned and controlled by service-disabled veterans. VETS is the result of Executive Order 13360 issued on October 20, 2004 by President Bush to strengthen opportunities in federal contracting for service-disabled, veteran-owned small businesses.
Founded in 1949, GSA serves as a centralized procurement and property management agency for the federal government. GSA manages more than one-fourth of the government's total procurement dollars and influences the management of $500 billion in federal assets, including 8,300 government-owned or leased buildings and 170,000 vehicles. GSA helps preserve our past and define our future, as a steward of more than 420 historic properties, and as manager of FirstGov.gov, the official portal to federal government information and services. GSA's mission to provide superior workplaces, expert technology solutions, acquisition services, purchasing and e-travel solutions and management policies, at best value, allows federal agencies to focus on their core missions.
Did you know? GSA almost doubled the percentage of dollars spent with service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses. In FY04, .55 percent used GSA tools. That number went to 1.046 percent in FY 05 and 1.3 percent through the third quarter of FY 06. Dollars spent rose 65 percent from $65 million in FY04 to $103 million in FY 05.

British second seed Andy Murray won the ATP Miami Masters title on Sunday, saving a match point in the penultimate game in defeating Spanish third seed David Ferrer 2-6, 6-4, 7-6 (7-1).
Murray captured his 26th career tour title, and second of the year having taken the Brisbane crown, after a gruelling two hours and 45 minutes.
"Both of us fought hard," Murray said. "Both of us were struggling physically at the end. I was lucky to come through."
It was the second Miami title for Murray, who won the title in 2009 but lost last year's final to Novak Djokovic.
Murray will rise to world No.2, bumping his way ahead of Roger Federer, while Ferrer will move past Rafael Nadal to fourth in the rankings, both men matching the best position of their careers with the improvement.
Nadal and Federer skipped this year's edition of the $US8.5 million hardcourt event in Miami, which also included a WTA event won by Serena Williams, while world No.1 Djokovic was ousted in the fourth round.
Murray beat Ferrer, who turns 31 on Tuesday, for the seventh time in 12 career meetings.
Ferrer's only win over Murray off clay was at the 2011 ATP World Tour Finals.
Ferrer, who has won this year at Auckland and Buenos Aires, failed in his bid to win his first US title and become the first Spaniard to win the Miami title.
He is 0-12 in finals against players ranked in the world's top four.
"I am tired. It was a very long match," Ferrer said. "Andy had more at the end. Congratulations to him."
Ferrer, who fell to 21-5 on the season, apologised to supporters in the crowd he compared to those in his homeland for their passion, saying, "I'm sorry. I'm so sorry. One point. Next time."
Ferrer and Murray exchanged breaks over the first six games of the third set, then each held serve once before Murray broke Ferrer for a 5-4 edge when the Spaniard netted a forehand.
Murray served for the match but surrendered a break instead, Ferrer pulling level and then holding serve for a 6-5 advantage, both games decided when the Briton netted a forehand.
Ferrer reached match point in the 12th game on Murray's serve but stopped play on the key point to challenge on a Murray forehand that was ruled on the baseline, setting the stage for Murray to hold and force the tie-breaker.
"That's the beauty of the challenge system," Murray said. "Some matches that would have been over. Luckily it just dropped in."
Murray roared ahead 4-0 in the tie-breaker and Ferrer collapsed to the court with a leg cramp after falling behind 5-1.
He rose but was finished two points later by the Scot on a backhand winner, Murray improving to 14-2 in the year.
"He's one of the best players in the world," Murray said of Ferrer. "Every time I play him people expect me to win. He's a great player. He's a fighter. He didn't even play his best tennis and he still could have won the match."

Searching for answers after another Fort Hood slaughter
"We're heartbroken that something like this might have happened again."
Those were President Obama's words Wednesday night in a brief address about the mass shooting at the Fort Hood Army base in Texas that killed four people, the gunman included, and wounded 16 others. All of those in the crossfire are military according to official reports.
The injured are being treated at local hospitals and their conditions range from critical to serious.
Fort Hood was the scene of another mass shooting in 2009, carried out by army major Nidal Hassan, an al Qaeda sympathizer and self-styled jihadist who killed 14 people in his attack.
Terrorism is not suspected in Wednesday's shooting.
The incident, which began at around 4:30p.m. Texas local time, is said by some reports to have been triggered by an argument between two soldiers, one of whom the Pentagon has named as the shooter, 34-year-old specialist Ivan Lopez.
This wasn't an isolated act of violence aimed at a single target, and whatever led to the initial confrontation, Lopez did not stop after he began killing until he was confronted by authorities. He drove away from the building where he shot his first victims and fired at more people from his car. He then entered and began shooting into a second building, according to the account given by Fort Hood's commander, Lieutenant General Mark A. Milley, at a press conference Wednesday night.
First responders reached the scene within 15 minutes after the first shots were fired ac-cording to General Milley. A military police officer confronted Lopez and drew her weapon. It's unclear whether or not they exchanged fire, but Lopez then used his gun to kill himself.
"It was clearly heroic what she did at that moment in time," General Milley said of the military police officer who faced off with Lopez before he died.

|Pepper & Spice of Lewiston, Maine
Thai Cuisine
Thai cuisine is the national cuisine of Thailand. Blending elements of several Southeast Asian traditions, Thai cooking places emphasis on lightly prepared dishes with strong aromatic components. The spiciness of Thai cuisine is well known. As with other Asian cuisines, balance, detail and variety are of great significance to Thai chefs. Thai food is known for its balance of three to four fundamental taste senses in each dish or the overall meal: sour, sweet, salty, and bitter.

text: Hi everyone, this is my first time trying BT so please bear with me. I'm trying to install BT4 as a dual-boot on a laptop currently running Windows 7. I downloaded the BT4 Final .iso and verified that the md5 hash was correct. Burned the .iso to a DVD and also to a USB key with UNetbootin. The problem I'm having is that whenever I try to boot BT so I can install it I get this error: Missing operating system, it happens with both the DVD and the USB key. I appreciate any help or suggestions.

Forum addresses church-based health initiatives
A church-based program to address the health needs of African Americans and reduce health disparities will be discussed at a forum Saturday, July 30, at the University of South Carolina.
The event, which is free and open to the public, will take place from 10 a.m. – noon in Room/Suite 140 (downstairs) of the Discovery 1 building at 915 Greene St.
The forum will include a brief overview of Healthy Eating and Active Living in the Spirit (HEALS) program, a discussion on ways to improve community health and how churches and communities can be involved to reduce health disparities among members.
"By partnering with churches, we have the opportunity to reduce the health disparities that disproportionately impact African-American communities," said Lisa Davis, HEALS project coordinator.
Racial and ethnic minorities are less likely to get the preventive care they need to stay healthy, more likely to suffer from serious illnesses, such as heart disease and diabetes, and more likely to die from cancer, Davis said.
"Many people look to their churches to provide health and wellness programs," she said. "We already have had tremendous success in improving the health status of members in churches that have adopted the HEALS program."
The forum is sponsored by the Cancer Prevention and Control Program of the University of South Carolina's Arnold School of Public Health.
Space is limited, and registration is required by calling Davis at 803-576-5613 or emailing firstname.lastname@example.com.

Chinese Law Summer Program
May 19 - June 17 or May 19 - June 3, 2017
The University of Oklahoma College of Law participates in a summer program hosted by Renmin University of China Law School in Beijing for American law students. The program affords students an opportunity to study Chinese and international law under the guidance of American and Chinese legal educators and experience Chinese culture and history. It also provides the opportunity for two-week internships with Chinese law firms.
The Chinese Law Summer Program is offered in affiliation with Indiana University-Indianapolis, University of Minnesota, Boston College and University of Tennessee Schools of Law. It is the longest-standing American law school study abroad program in China, having been administered by Indiana University-Indianapolis for 26 years.
Academic Program
Students may take either a two-week course for two credits or a four-week course for 5 credits. The program provides an overview of the Chinese legal system and focuses on the evolution of Chinese domestic law within the country's socialist market economy. The Program also provides insight into areas of law of contemporary importance, such as labor law and environmental law. The courses will be taught in English by Chinese faculty members of Renmin University School of Law who are experts in their fields.
The Chinese Law Summer Program meets accreditation requirements of both the American Bar Association and the Association of American Law Schools. Law schools whose students have attended previous sessions have approved the transfer of credits for the courses taken by their students. Acceptance of any credit or grade for any course taken in the program is subject to determination by the student's home school.
Costs and Application
Costs include University of Oklahoma tuition and fees based on number of credit hours to be granted plus Indiana University-Indianapolis' program fee for housing and administration. Since Indiana University-Indianapolis administers the Chinese Law Summer Program, details and an application form may be found at its webpage at http://mckinneylaw.iu.edu/focus/international/study-abroad-china/index.html . The application deadline is March 1, 2017. Early application is recommended as enrollment is limited.

man unrar
man rar
How can i do this?
Is there such a program that can do this?
Of course the sudo apt-get command wont work (sudo apt-get install rar unrar)
I tried to install winrar but i get this error
Code:rar: /lib/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.7' not found (required by rar)
Can anyone help?
I assume you mean read the manual?
I tried reading the readme file with no help!
I already said what my problem was in the opening post
Code:bt ~ # unrar x /media/sdg1/other/Backup314.part1.rar unrar: /lib/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.7' not found (required by unrar)
What is GLIBC_2.7? and how do i get it?
First in your initial post you didn't mention that you issued the unrar command.
You just said
So maybe you should be more specific.I tried to install winrar but i get this error
Second why did you install winrar. Unrar is natively installed on BT.
On my clean BT unrar works perfectly. No need to install anything.
So try to get rid of your faulty winrar installation....
I think i should of mentioned i am using BT3

It does look like it, and it has the Realtek RTL8187L chipset according to the website.
So I currently have this adapter:
It works quite well I must say. But I lost the omni directional antenna. And so A good opportunity to buy a new adapter which might be better. I read a lot about this and decided I want to go with the in a lot of topics covered Alfa AWUS036H.
I found this model: http://dx.com/p/alfa-1000mw-802-11b-...-silver-112006
Price: US$ 21.10 with free shipping. Is this a real alfa AWUS036H? I kind of like how it looks with the dual antenna!
It does look like it, and it has the Realtek RTL8187L chipset according to the website.
You probably end up spending 20 bucks more and in the end you will have 2 same things: The important thing is the chipset...I'm almost positive that the one you bought is a alfa clone with rtl8187L chipset.
This chipset RTL8187L has the "Works right out of the box" status for any BT3, BT4 and BT5 distros. It is an excellent choice when it comes to "plug and works" status in Backtrack. So in my very personal opinion, "Do not buy another one, unless you want to have 2 pieces of excellent wifi in your arsenal.
If you want something more, you have to keep in mind several things:
1. Tx power
2. Rx Sensitivity (very important aspect)
3. Noise affecting the signal when RECEIVING, not TRANSMITTING.
4. Any signal block like aluminum shades in windows, cement, rf noise that might sometimes shift to the 2.4Ghz frecuency, distance, trees, etc.
As to the antenna, you have 2 choices and nothing more: Omidirectional and directional.
The Directional, depending on how close the covered angle is, the better Tx/Dx is. As to the Omidirectional, in case you want to transmit around (sometimes need a signal booster and an external antenna to send signal outside several yards).
Both antennas can be external or small ones connected directly to your Wifi. The external antenna, you will need a cable, but dependig on how far is the antenna, you might want to use LMR400 cable.
Up to 3 meters, you can use LMR200, this, due to the signal loss in cable. You might end up having no signal at all (using a cheap cable or one that does not support frecuency loss good enough).
Any way, I can keep writting, but in the end, it all comes to 1 thing: CHIPSET supported...
Let me ask you one thing: If you have a 2 watt Tx, which by the way might end up frying your wifi device unless you use a signal booster, Do you think you can grab some signal back from AP if is far away and with blocking around it?....
I do not understand why people keep insisting in having so much power if will not be able to Rx some decent signal back from AP when AP signal is weak or Link Quality is below 50%..
The second important thing is Rx Sensitivity....This can be fixed but still indexed to the distance, noise and blocking of signal...But sure you can improve it..In this matter, I personnaly, from my experience, the best wifi device I've used is the Ubiquity...Not even Alfa have the Rx Sensitivity as Ubiquity.
Again, is my very personal experience and point of view.
Third important thing: Cable and antenna. Again it depends on distance from wifi device and external antenna. I have 4 external antennas: 2 HP 16dbi yagi antenna, 1 24dbi grid antenna and 1 HP 24dbi parabolic antenna, all connected to the same pole, and with LMR400 cables (4 cables of 6 meters each. I use any of them, just connect my Alfa 500 or my ubiquiti pcmcia, in my laptop. But I know the Rx is my limitation...The key here, the magic word here is called LINK QUALITY...
I hope this can help you.

Before Costa Rica became as developed as it is today, most of the country was agricultural. Some of the provinces, like San José and Alajuela, had relatively large cities, but the rest of the country was rural. Until about fifteen years ago, many of Costa Rica's roads were unpaved, not all places had electricity, and lush vegetation covered much of the land. The rural countryside is called "el campo," and the people who live there are called "campesinos." These "campesinos" are an important part of Costa Rica's national identity.
In Costa Rica, humility is probably the highest virtue. Pride and arrogance are looked down upon, especially in politicians, and soft-spokenness and quiet deference are considered great attributes. Describing someone as humble—"humilde"—is high praise. Costa Rica's heroes, like Juan Santamaría, often came from the "campo" and are almost always described as humble, as Juan Santamaría always is. Costa Rica's favorite presidents were all humble men as well, especially in retrospect.
In general, "campesinos" are idealized and described as being filled with a noble sense of humility. The Costa Rican national anthem, like most of the country's other patriotic songs, praises field and other manual laborers, hard-working "campesinos" on whose backs the modern country now rests. The red stripes of the Costa Rican flag are often said to represent the red faces of agricultural workers, who did their work virtuously, without seeking undue praise or attention.
During the early 1900s, in a period of heightened cultural awareness, students of Costa Rican tradition attempted to unearth and preserve the traditional dances of the "campesinos," promulgating the idea of a national Costa Rican dance form. A collection of several dances now comprises the Costa Rican dance repertoire. Although some argue that these "bailes típicos" are more a cultural afterthought than a legitimate tradition, the dances are interesting in that they celebrate the Costa Rican "campesino." The women wear ruffled peasant blouses and long skirts, and the men wear work shirts and the canvas hats typical of traditional Costa Rican farm workers. All dance barefoot, and the men often twirl red bandannas—the very bandannas they presumably used to wipe the sweat from their brows as they toiled in the fields.
Even as Costa Rica marches confidently into the future, there is a strong national sense of its agricultural beginnings and a strong feeling of love for the hardworking "campesino humilde."

There is scarcely a branch of physical or chemical science to which Gay-Lussac did not contribute some important discovery.
Hydrocyanic acid was discovered by Scheele; but its nature and chemical properties were first investigated by Gay-Lussac.
Two young physicists, Biot and Gay-Lussac, were chosen to carry out the investigations.
In Europe, Gay-Lussac's hydrometer and tables are chiefly used for alcoholometric testing.
Thenard's memoir was followed by a communication of fundamental importance from Gay-Lussac .

Riverside police released the name of a 34-year-old police officer and former Marine allegedly shot to death by Christopher Dorner early Thursday in Riverside.
"Wednesday we are going to lay to rest, for the final time, our brother... Michael Crain," Riverside Police Chief said Sunday at a news conference in Los Angeles.
The 34-year-old officer was an 11-year veteran of the department, a veteran of the United States Marine Corps and a graduate of Redlands High School in 1996, the chief said.
Citing safety concerns, Diaz continued to withhold the name of the officer who was seriously wounded, but survived the alleged attack by Dorner.
A funeral for Crain is scheduled from 10:30 a.m. Wednesday at at the Grove Community Church in Riverside, to be followed immediately by internment at the Riverside National Cemetery.
Officials are planning extra security measures for the services.
Crain was born in Anaheim on April 9, 1978. He is survived by his parents, Stephen and Cindy Crain, brother Jason and sister Leslie,
After graduating in 1996, he attended Crafton Hills College in Yucaipa for a year before enlisting in the Marines. He served two deployment tours in Kuwait as a rifleman in the 15th Marine Expeditionary Unit, 3rd Battalion 1st Marines. He was a squad leader, and was promoted to the rank of Sergeant.
Crain was then stationed at Camp Pendleton in Oceanside where he taught Military Operations in Urban Terrain. During his military service, he was awarded the Good Conduct Medal, the Armed Forces Expeditionary Medal, the Sea Service Deployment Ribbon with 1 star, a Certificate of Commendation, and the Rifle Marksmanship Badge.
Following graduation from the Field Training Program, he was assigned to Field Operations as a patrol officer. During his 11 year tenure with the Riverside Police Department, he served as a patrol officer, and was assigned to the Special Weapons and Tactics (SWAT) Team. He had also served as a Helicopter Observer, a Field Training Officer, a Firearms Instructor, and had been assigned to the University Neighborhood Enhancement Team (UNET).
A department release said "Mike had a big heart, and enjoyed spending time with his wife, Regina, son, Ian (age 10), and daughter Kaitlyn (age 4). He loved attending dance recitals with his daughter and coaching his son's baseball team. He also loved his classic 1970 Chevy Nova, which he spent his spare time restoring. Mike's family and friends knew his usually straight face hid a huge personality. He made an unforgettable impression on everyone he met."

When pressed on who he thought killed Kennedy, Nixon "would shiver and say, 'Texas,'" said Stone.
Hoover, FDR, Kennedy, Nixon, and LBJ each won presidential primaries as write-in candidates.
The Nixon administration portrayed Martha Mitchell as a bit daft, perhaps drunk, and not to be taken seriously.
"The political evolution of Nixon throughout those eight years is huge," Mark Herzog said.
One White House tape in particular shows how much Teddy haunted Nixon.
You will get a pilot from Col. Nixon's regt to direct them thither.
Tell me then, Mr. Nixon, who are the two gentlemen I saw at breakfast outside?
It was he that had told Craig, on his arrival from the Landing, of Nixon's fall.
The tree happened to be almost directly in front of the Nixon gate.
Quite a stunner, young Mrs. Nixon is, too, and Bert is a good match for her.

Childbirth Classes
As a doula, mums are always asking me what childbirth preparation courses I think are best. As a pregnant mother, I took Bradley classes and love them. If you've taken a birth class, what kind did you take? If you are planning to take one, what will it be?
10th January 2012 08:16 AM #2
In Australia I am not aware of any Bradley Classes. The main types of classes I can think of off the top of my head are are:
There are other styles of childbirth class options as well. I personally prefer childbirth classes run in the community - hospital based classes vary in quality and content (some are good, some are not). When booking into any childbirth education classes find out what who is running the course, their experience and what the classes cover.
I'd love to read your experiences with birth classes.

My husband and I took a childbirth class that my midwife gave. I loved it because she actually demonstrated what a woman looks/acts like when she's in different stages of labour.
She encouraged us to go with our bodies and said we didn't need to know any particular way of "breathing". Women have been giving birth for thousands of years and thousands of years ago I doubt they were teaching women to breath a certain way at a certain time. The body knows what to do, so I naturally went with what my body was telling me to do.
My midwife also drew diagrams on the board, showing how the cervix dilates and what effacement looks like. Now we have wonderful animated videos which show this.
Here's a little video that shows how baby descends into the birth canal and rotates during delivery.

For us, the work is more about truth and transparency of Christ's message and working on the natural laws of accountability and decision making that evolves from that. If one honors God's natural laws of reaping and sowing around the decisions one makes, one is indeed living Scripture to its fullest. We prepare the brain to better maximize the spiritual realities of Christ's words. Contact email@example.com.

Paul Graham recently wrote a post about How to Get Startup Ideas, so I figured I'd write about a couple of startup ideas. This post list some of them in a couple of words, and later I'll pick a few to write about in more detail.
Education & Content:
This is an area that many are working on to change (finally), but there's still a lot that can be done.
- Platform for creating interactive educational content.
- New platform for publishing general content
- Bootcamps for learning technical topics
- Programming for the masses
Replacing Intermediaries:
Before the internet, it was necessary to have various intermediaries involved in transactions. The internet has changed that for many things (e.g. buying airline tickets), but some areas remain stubborn to change (e.g. cars or houses). There are various ways certain industries can be brought up-to-date with the internet.
Better Search
Everything is search. It's not what you know, but what you can search for that counts.
- A Better meta-search?
- Better Website searches
- Integrating search and actions within applications
- Tracking everything you read or learn for later 'recall'
The Internet has changed how we buy things, but made everything more complex. People need help getting what's best for them at the best price.
- Finding the best deals quickly
- Reliable data-based reviews
- Chipping away at Craigslist…
- Crowd-sourced startups
- Alternative Wikipedia
- Lottery-ticket Investing
- Computer-aided productivity

Tesla Model S Performance Slays BMW M5 in Acceleration Test

Tesla Model S Performance (L) and BMW M5 (R)
(Source: Automobile Magazine)
Tesla's Model S is no joke
Some people have plenty of doubts about Tesla Motors and the Model S. The company is still struggling to
get production numbers up and is battling its way to profitability
. And the fact that federal money is being used to
fund a $7,500 tax credit
for the purchase of a $100,000 vehicle doesn't sit well with a lot of people.
However, there's no question that Tesla Motors has developed a remarkable car in the Model S. From its sexy exterior looks to its high-tech interior, the Model S aims to impress. And now, we're still learning that the five-door hatchback has some
serious performance credentials backing it up as well
Automobile Magazine
pitted a fresh
Model S Performance
against BMW's new F10 M5. The BMW M5 ($106,695) is powered by a twin-turbo V8 engine developing a whopping 560hp and 500 lb-ft of torque (this is backed by a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission). The Model S Performance ($102,270) has a rear-mounted motor that generates 416hp and 443 lb-ft of torque.
When the two were set on the drag strip for a 0-100 mph race, the 4,640-pound Model S Performance simply walked away from the 4,347-pound M5 off the line. This stellar performance is no doubt attributed to the electric car's instant torque that is available from 0 to 5,800 RPM.
The M5 narrowed the lead towards the end of the run, but there's no question that the Model S bested BMW's high-echelon performance sedan in this particular test. However, this is just one test, and we'd like to see a complete head-to-head comparison between the two vehicles in the usual battery of acceleration, braking, and handling metrics.
To see the Model S go up against the M5, take a look at the video below:

His work has also appeared in many foreign magazines, including Quick in Germany, Panorama from The Netherlands, Nebelplater in Switzerland and the UK magazine Punch.
His cartoons caused a protest from Soviet president Krushchev, because they poked fun at Stalinism. Reisinger alos achieved great popularity with the comic 'Štefekove pustolovine' that ran in Plavi Vjesnik between 1964 and 1966. Reisinger died in Zagreb on 6 April 2016 at the age of 89.

Bandits' Appel records first pro win
Top overall Draft pick fans two, logs career-best five innings
By Jake Seiner / MiLB.com | August 6, 2013 7:51 PM ET
Tuesday night produced a number of firsts for Mark Appel, but there was one that stood out as more important than the others -- Quad Cities' place in the Midwest League standings.
The top overall pick in this year's Draft pitched a career-high five innings and recorded the first victory over his brief Minor League career as the River Bandits defeated Cedar Rapids, 7-2.
"Wins are the stat that pitchers try to go for," Appel said after helping Quad Cities climb atop the Western Division second-half standings. "I think getting that first pro win is nice, but it's much better that the team won."
The Astros' No. 4 prospect limited the Kernels to two unearned runs on two hits, maintaining a 12-to-2 groundout-to-flyout ratio while striking out two batters and walking one.
Appel has been stellar since throwing four scoreless frames against Dayton in his Class A debut on July 14. Through five starts with the River Bandits, he's posted a 2.29 ERA with 16 strikeouts, six walks and a .200 opponents' batting average in 19 2/3 innings.
Appel, ranked 28th on MLB.com's list of Top 100 Prospects, was perfect for 3 1/3 innings, inducing eight groundouts. After issuing a one-out walk to Niko Goodrum in the fourth, he struck out Jorge Polanco and retired Adam Walker on another ground ball.
Cedar Rapids scratched out a pair of unearned runs in the fifth. Max Kepler reached on an error to open the inning and, after Travis Harrison flied out, Tyler Grimes dropped a single into right field. Kepler and Grimes moved to second and third, respectively, on Bo Altobelli's groundout and scored on Joel Licon's single to right. Appel ended the inning by getting Jonathan Murphy on a bouncer to shortstop.
"I tried to pound the bottom of the zone," Appel said. "I established early with the fastball and got to the off-speed when I needed to. I think I executed pretty well. I had a walk in the fourth and a couple hits in the fifth, but for the most part, I thought I did a good job of that."
Pitch counts have left Appel with much lighter workloads than he was used to at Stanford University, but the 22-year-old right-hander is finding that by pitching to contact, he can reach the five-inning minimum for getting a win. On Tuesday, he said he needed fewer than 30 pitches to get through the first three innings, which allowed him to work a full five.
"I felt good. I could've gone out there for another one or two innings," he said. "You never enjoy being taken out, but those aren't my decisions to be made. I'm not going to complain about it or anything like that. I guess I understand that there's a bigger picture to everything.
"Right now, I might want to go out and pitch more, but the Astros have a plan for me for what's expected from me this summer. I feel like this is a time for me to get acclimated with the Astros organization and really prepare for my first full season next year."
Appel's promotion to the Midwest League after two starts for short-season Tri-City has allowed him to get a firsthand look at the No. 1 overall pick from the 2012 Draft and Astros top prospect Carlos Correa. The 18-year-old shortstop was 2-for-4 with a pair of doubles Tuesday, driving in a run and scoring another.
Correa is 12-for-18 in his past four games and is batting .462 with six doubles and nine RBIs in his last 10 contests.
"He's got it all," Appel said. "He fields great and has a strong arm. He hits well. He's a balanced hitter and is probably the toughest out in our lineup. He's a great player, and the best thing about him is he's still just 18. The sky's the limit for him."
Patrick Christensen relieved Appel and fanned five over three one-hit innings. Mitchell Lambson struck out three around a hit in the ninth.

Get prepared now to weather the next disaster
Get prepared now to weather the next disaster
By Attorney General Roy Cooper
While we are fortunate to enjoy plenty of beautiful weather in our state, we are certainly no stranger to hurricanes, tornadoes and severe flooding. September is Emergency Preparedness Month in North Carolina and there is no better time to make sure you and your family are prepared in case of a natural disaster.
Your family's safety should always come first, so if you ever need to evacuate on short notice don't risk your safety by gathering your personal items and financial records. But if you take the time to prepare now, you'll be better able to handle the next disaster and its aftermath.
Here are some tips from my Consumer Protection Division to help you get ready:
List important numbers
and store them in your wallet and cell phone. Numbers to include: your insurance agent's phone number, your bank and credit card account and phone numbers, and the number for the Consumer Protection Division, 1-877-5-NO-SCAM.
Keep important documents
such as insurance policies, mortgage documents, bank account information, passports, social security cards, and health insurance cards in a safe place where you can grab them quickly if you need to evacuate. You may also want to store copies in a secure location, such as a waterproof/fireproof container or a bank safety deposit box.
Keep medications and prescriptions handy
. If you are forced to evacuate you will want to make sure you have any medications you take regularly and/or copies of prescriptions and medical records.
Take your bills, too.
No matter the weather, your creditors will expect you to pay on time.
Inventory your home
to make filing an insurance claim simpler. Try to videotape or photograph each room, being sure to record your most valuable items. Store your inventory in a safe place, such as a waterproof/fireproof container or a bank safety deposit box. Consider storing photos or videos on a website that you can access from anywhere instead of only on your home computer.
Keep some emergency cash
on hand. If the power goes out, you may not be able to use the ATM or shop by debit or credit card.
There's much more you can do to plan for a disaster. More tips and general information on disasters is available at
. For general tips on keeping your family safe during and after a disaster, visit

"The Dark Knight Rises" NYC Premiere: A Complete Look!
It's arguably the most anticipated film of the summer and, with only days remaining until its theatrical release, the cast of "The Dark Knight Rises" celebrated at the New York City premiere on Monday night (July 16).
The tremendously star-studded cast of the final installment in Christopher Nolan's trilogy worked the red carpet at AMC Lincoln Square Theater, with those on hand including Christian Bale, Anne Hathaway, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Marion Cotillard, Gary Oldman, Morgan Freeman, Juno Temple and Tom Hardy.
Also bringing out a handful of celebrity spectators, actresses Hailee Steinfeld, Leighton Meester and Michelle Trachtenberg were joined by young couple Penn Badgley and Zoe Kravitz while real estate mogul Donald Trump and wife Melania Trump were in attendance, as well.
With its opening slated for this Friday (July 20), the Batman finale is expected to put up a stiff challenge against the record-breaking $207.4 million domestic opening weekend earnings rung up by "The Avengers" earlier this year.
As for the movie, fans are sure to be impressed, as multiple critics have already doted the motion picture with two thumbs up while a review by The Herald Sun boasts, "For a Batman movie, there is surprisingly little seen of the famous suit for long stretches of the film, but rarely does it suffer."
Adding to the positive response thus far, film critic James Wigney said, "Rather it gives the ever-reliable Christian Bale time to explore the dark forces that led him to become a vigilante as well as giving other members of the stellar cast a chance to shine."

Brevard, N.C. - The Tornados fell in both games of the doubleheader on Friday afternoon against Limestone College, losing game one, 3-0, and game two 9-2. For the season, Brevard falls to 8-4, while Limestone improves to 5-13.
Brevard stranded 11 runners in the first game as Liz Houser dropped her first game of the season, while in the second game, Kelsey Kuykendall drove in seven runs of the Saints nine runs as Limestone completed the sweep.
Game 1: Limestone 3, Brevard 0
Liz Houser (5-1) dominated in everything but the runs column in this game, racking up eight strikeouts while only allowing five hits in her sixth complete game of the season. The junior from
The Tornados threatened in the bottom of the third inning, loading the bases with no outs as Sarah Carlos opened the inning with a walk and Becca Curlee and Kristina Clayton both dropped down bunt singles. However, Brevard was unable to push across a run as the Limestone defense closed up and Carpenter was able to escape the inning unscathed.
Houser, meanwhile, carried a no-hitter through the first four innings, allowing Jenna Guse to reach in the first inning on a walk, but retired 11 straight batters up until the top of the fifth when Kelsey Kuykendall opened the inning with base hit through the left side of the infield. Three batters later, Hannah Mills drove home Christina Woolgar with a single up the middle as Limestone took the lead, 1-0.
Brevard put the first two batters on in the bottom of the inning when Clayton stroked a single to left center and Chelsi Mallory dropped down a bunt single, but Carpenter again was able to set the Tornados down in order without allowing a run.
Limestone added some insurance in the top of the seventh as the Mills lined a one-out pitch from Houser over the centerfield fence, driving in Emily Wallace to give Limestone a 3-0 lead.
Brevard attempted a two-out rally in the bottom half of the seventh, as Mallory scorched a grounder up the middle for a single and Jennifer Brown tagged a pitch past the Saints third baseman to give the Tornados runners on first and second. Katie Thornburg sent the next pitch up the middle, but a diving stop by Kayla Hamalainen who flipped the ball to Alex Aburto at second ended the game in favor of the Saints.
Game 2: Limestone 9, Brevard 2

Brevard rallied back in the bottom half of the inning as Kasey Fagan led off with a single up the middle. Maddie Fletcher came in to run for Fagan and moved to second on Wallace's throwing error on Sarah Carlos' grounder. A sacrifice bunt by Curlee moved both runners into scoring position.
