If Rex stays, Sparano stays. Head coaches do not get to go through 3 OCs in 3 years.
Well, that sucked. No other way to put it.
No shortage of responsabillity to throw around, top of the organization to the bottom.
Woody Johnson -- If it's true he forced the Tebow aquisition, it's unacceptable. If there was any pressure to aquire him or (worse) to play him against the coaching staffs wishes, it's unacceptable. We all know more is forced on teams by owners than we fans probably know or realize, but this move will go down in Jets history as one of the least considered, and least effective, at the QB position (or any position) in Franchise history.
Tanny -- As GM, he had to be strong enough to say no to Tebow is Ryan didn't want him, and the evidence seems to clearly show that Ryan did not want him. Worse, he bears primary responsabillity for drafting Mark Sanchez, and extending Mark Sanchez and thus tying us to a failed QB for another year.
Rex Ryan -- His loyalty to "his guys" is somethign than can be so good, or so bad, but it's turned out so bad. He stuck with Mark Sanchez far far longer than Sanchez's play warranted. This, above all else, is his failure and responsabillity, and the primary reason he will get fired, if he is.
Secondly, while he's provided us with a legitimate contender on Defense every year, his total abdication (seemingly) on offense, or worse, his pressure driving our O to be what it is, is inexcusable. He simply had to do more to make our O competative before this season, and clearly he did not. The many inexcusable errors in judgement, playing Tebow as he was played, staying with Sanchez, not using a more rotation-based RB committee till too late, etc, all are problems that cannot be tolerated.
Rex has certainly shown he can create and manage an elite defense, and I truly believe he's assisted in drafting and eveloping some great talent of Defense. We have a host of growing young talent (wilkerson, Coples, Ellis, etc) and have no doubt that if Rex is retained, our Defense will be good again next year. But the O is a total failure, again, as it's been almost every year under Rex's leadership, and a Head Coach cannot be so singularly one-sided.
Sparano -- My Dolphins Fan brother was right, he was horrific. Of course, there isn't mcuh he can do with Sanchez.
Mark Sanchez -- Put simply, he is the worst starting QB in the NFL the past four years, and I reject all the many many excuses now being bandied about to defend him.
He has no vision, routinely missing open recievers. He has no pocket presense, routinely sitting there till sacked regardless of protection. He fails to feel or see pressure, or to react to it by throwing it away. He is inaccurate to a degree unacceptable in the NFL. he is a living turnover machine, with over 80 turnovers lifetime, and over 50 the past two years. He is almost singlehandedly the cause for our failures in 2011 and 2012.
Worst of all, he is no leader, as his attitude on the field and off so clearly shows. He cannot rise to overcome adversity. He cannot handle even moderate competition. He is supremely easy to knock out of his game.
He must go, he must. He is utterly unsalvageable. If we had had even a moderate talent at QB, we're a playoff team in bioth 2011 and 2012, of that I have no doubt whatsoever.
The Rest -- I am aware of how unpopular this opinion is, especially now, but I do not believe we need to wholesale destroy the rest of this team. Yes, we're weaker at WR than we'd like to be, fine. But I truly believe our O-line is perfectly fine, our trio of backs is acceptable for winning games if used right, and our defense is absolutely fine as it is, with only minor/usual offseason changes and turnover.
The worst thing I can see coming is a complete changeover/rebuild, destroying this Defense. Soem weak attempt to salvage Sanchez due to previous bad fiscal decisions, and a spurging of draft picks on RB's and WR's that will not fix our problem. The result of such an overhaul is surely a Kotite-like season in 2013 and 2014 and then who knows what beyond.
If I were Woody Johnson, I would do the following:
A. I would bench Mark Sanchez, and start Greg McElroy the rest of 2012.
B. I would play all of my young talent full-time the rest of this season. veterans would be benched in favor of young draft picks and pre-season style heavy evaluation for 2013.
Then, in the offseason:
1. Demote Tannenbaum (or fire him outright if he refuses). And fire Terry Bradway. I would hire a more experienced player-personel General manager, there are a number fo possible chocies available at current, although all are somewhat old now.
2. Fire Tony Sparano. He failed.
3. Inform Rex Ryan that 2013 will be his final season if the Jets do not make a deep playoff run and a legitimate contender's season. Yes, despite his failings, I keep him one more year (horrificly unpopular, I know).
4. I would find a way, any way, to remove Mark Sanchez from my roster. If that could not be done, Mark Sanchez would be the listed #3 for the entire 2013 season, and would not be active unless our #1 and #2 were injured.
5. I would cut Tim Tebow at the end of the Season.
6. I would look for a strong, pro-offensive-minded O-Co/Asst. Head Coach to come in and fix our Offense. No tricks or twists, just good, solid, NFL-style football. It's fine to be a big fan of running the ball, but we must achieve a legitimate NFL passing Offense to win.
7. I would look to upgrade at QB, WR, RB, LB (especially pass rusher). I would look to trade Holmes if possible as part of this effort (I know, cap issues make this almost impossible, same as Sanchez).
8. I would go into 2013 with a more balanced run/pass, ball control offense, with a QB who is not prone to turnovers. A Pennington-esque style Offense even. I would retain the trifecta of Greene/Powell/McKnight, as I believe used correctly this trio can be productive on the ground. If I have to replace one, it's Greene.
These past two years have been some of the hardest to watch, not because we abjectly pathetic a la Kotite, but because we really had enough IMO to win games and compete, and it was all brought down by our supposed franchise QB, our stubborn and one-sided Head Coach, and the ongoing failure (now years old) on offense.
So blow it up, if thats whats needed. Fire Tanny. Fire Rex (even if I wouldn't). Absolutely get rid of Sanchez. But by god, please, try and keep that defense....it's all we have right now, it and our talent on O-line. Rebuild the Offense from the ground up as needed, based on the talent on that O-line first, and around what talent we do have.
I know some folks think this is teh best thing that could happen. I guess we'll see. Grass is always greener, and right now the grass on our side is brown and dead.
Disgusted still, even now the next day. /spit
If Rex stays, Sparano stays. Head coaches do not get to go through 3 OCs in 3 years.
If we don't re-sign Landry I will have a conniption.
I say we trade Revis and Mangold.
All we need is an average QB. Purchase a mid-level pass rusher and WR.
We will be in playoffs in 2013 if we get average QB play.
No, no, no! We need to do this the right way.We will contend in 2013.
2013 = new gm, new coach, young players. We finish 2-14 and get the #1 pick in the draft.
2014 = 5-11. Young guys get a ton of experience and we get more high draft picks.
2015 = The Brady decline is in full force and we now have the young guns to field a playoff football team again.
Bring in an average veteran. Draft a QB in 3rd or 4th and have a three way competition with McElroy in camp.
Hopefully 2014 has some better prospects and we can shoot for a franchise QB then. But I agree about keep getting QBs until we find one. Most of all, we need a regime that knows offense.
I know this is not a popular choice but all year the one guy that comes to mind is Polian.
People on here have used the excuse that he was only good because he had Manning, he's built three teams, Bills, Panthers, Colts.
My feeling about Polian is that he's a no nonsense guy that doesn't waver. The biggest problem with this Jets organization as it stands is that there isn't one guy making "FINAL" decisions based on what they see.
You build a team BACK UP by strengthening it's core. I agree that you don't go into a draft thinking that if you draft all skill players you'll be good team (Lions anyone).
Jets need to continue to get the Oline at it's optimum!
DBrick was a wall last night. Mangold needs to step it back up! but the foundation is there & for a new QB to have success in a low risk, high % offense, we need a really strong line.
The defense is good enough to be a "playoff" defense, especially with the return of Revis.
The missing pc has been a bona fide pass rusher. Lets pray this is the draft we get that guy.
With the amount of contracts coming off the books next year & 2014, next year should be a draft that is all about building a strong Oline & getting the LBs we need.
All the late picks can be offensive flyers, or "potential" if you will.
Finally the QB. After what we witnessed this year no one would argue that Sanchez is DONE as the starting QB for the NY Jets.
Many people here believe that Mark & his agent will not redo a contract to get out of dodge, I don't believe that at all.
One look at his face & you can tell he's tired.
Jets will have to eat some of his contract but I do see a scenario that moves him out of NY.
Make it clear that he is the backup. End of story. Someone mentioned the players association getting involved? Seriously?
He was by far the worst QB in the league this year other than that dude in Arizona.
He's a cancer on the Jets right now.
He is an incredibly selfish player! 5 more TOs! 2 in the last 5 minutes on FIRST DOWN!
Throw the ball away & live for another play!
He can't do it!
Throws off his back foot, lobs into triple coverage, he couldn't even hit Greene on a simple 6 yard throw to a wideopen RB without throwing BEHIND HIM!
I have watched football for many, many years, & I have to say, that was the worst showing by a QB that I have ever seen.
We had 18 yards passing in the 1st half I think.
He couldn't even make a simple throw to Cumberland without making him have to go low & dig it up.
Sar keeps telling us it's the team around him.
I say that if Macelroy had been the starter & had every camp rep, Jets would be in the playoffs.
5 TOs in a must win game!
Parcells would have benched him after the 2nd pick.
But I agree now. After the Cardinals game there was a report that Woody wanted McElroy to start. Rex went with Sanchez, and it cost us a shot at the playoffs. Cimini tweeted that when approached by reporters after the game, Woody said he wouldn't speak until after the season ended. To me that sounds like he's going to do a whole lot of firing on Black Monday.
Tanny, Rex, and the entire coaching staff are done.

I don't think it will ever happen given the cap #, but it is just another example of us placing valuable resources in positions that non-essential IMO. Mangold and Harris are perfect examples.
BTW, this is not b.c of the snap, I blame Sanchez for that.. Last year he was out of shape and this year he is not getting the push he used to get in years past and his pass blocking is not as good.
This begins and ends with the change of GM. Once a new GM is in retained then everyone and I do mean everyone serves at his pleasure until their contracts are up or until he decides to let them go.
None of this change the GM but keep this guy or that guy rubbish.
The Jets would have made the playoffs last year and this year as well with just average, mediocre QB play.
Rex has his flaws deserves to be criticized for sticking with Sanchez for so long, but it'd be nice to see what he could do as a coach without being handicapped by having the worst starting QB in the league

Click here to view the 2011 President's Report, which provides a comprehensive look at Oklahoma Christian University's success during Dr. Mike O'Neal's 10 years as president.
Oklahoma Christian's strength and quality transcend bricks and mortar, but the physical growth of the campus over the last decade is testament to OC's stability and vitality in tough economic times.
In 2009, Oklahoma Christian completed the Higher Learning~Higher Calling campaign, raising $64.3 million from more than 7,000 supporters over a five-and-a-half-year period.
OC reached the campaign goal early and exceeded the target by more than $4 million, no small feat in any economic environment.
Proceeds from the campaign made the following possible as OC grows in its mission to transform lives for Christian faith, scholarship and service:
- Addition of almost $50 million to the university's endowment
- 50 new or substantially increased endowed scholarships
- 4 endowed faculty chairs (JJ Millican Chair in Accounting, Pat Lawson Chair in Arts and Sciences, Richard Lawson Chair in Professional Studies, anonymous chair in Biblical Studies)
- 3 endowed centers (McBride Center for Faith and Literature, Fletcher Center for Music, Gaither Center for Biology)
- Numerous academic and administrative endowment funds
- Lawson Commons, an official Oklahoma Centennial Project, including the Jack and Wanda McGraw Pavilion and the Jose Freede Centennial Tower
- Dramatic upgrades of all science facilities, including the new 13,000-square-foot Noble Science Wing
- Dobson Field, OC's new intercollegiate baseball facility
- Multi-purpose Jackson Intramural Fields
"Generations of OC students will benefit from the statement of faith in the university's future by our alumni and friends who made this effort an overwhelming success," President Dr. Mike O'Neal said.
The decade also featured a comprehensive $34 million student residence project, with the construction of two new residence halls and two new apartment complexes, plus the renovation of most other student housing.
The initiative coincided with a surge in student enrollment; the university set numerous enrollment records over the past 10 years, including seven straight of more than 2,000 students.
The construction of a new physical plant facility and the Bobby Murcer Indoor Baseball Training Facility, plus the renovation of Hardeman Auditorium, the Dave Smith Athletic Center (known as "The Barn") and the Mabee Science Labs also enhanced OC's campus.
The university also made advancements in how it used the campus technologically. Long known as a leader in pedagogical technology with one of the first wireless campuses in the nation, Oklahoma Christian remained at the forefront by partnering with Apple in 2008. Students received MacBook laptop computers and their choice of an iPhone or iPod touch. OC added the iPad as an upgrade option after its launch by Apple.
OC's academic programs continued to offer opportunities for full intellectual engagement by our students and masterful teaching that brings the Christian worldview into focus in every discipline. The many accomplishments and honors in the past several years included:
- Receipt of many regional and national awards for students in Art and Design, Communications, Psychology, Business and Engineering;
- The History Honors Society's receipt of the National Best Chapter Award for the 16th straight year among smaller universities, and recognition of its journal as one of the best in the nation;
- Recognition of Soundings, our student literary journal, as one of the best in the nation twice in the last five years;
- Creation of a nursing program in which our students excel in the classroom and in service, traveling to Honduras each year on a medical mission trip;
- Accreditation of the interior design program;
- Creation of a Master's of Science in Engineering to complement our growing master's degree programs in business and Bible;
- The growth of the Honors Program, including the creation of the Summer Honors Academy for talented high school students, and the creation of a new Honors House in which many of our Honors students live;
- Recognition of the gaming and animation program as one of the nation's best; and
- Strong placement of Biology, Business, English, History and Political Science students into graduate programs at Harvard University, Stanford University, the University of Chicago, Columbia University and other top schools.
Oklahoma Christian's global engagement continued its tradition of strong interest and commitment to international understanding and development. In recent years, we've helped build water wells in Africa for the thirsty, hosted campus fundraising walks for a medical mission in Honduras, helped families becoming self-sustaining in the Philippines, continued to send hundreds of students on international programs to Europe and the Pacific Rim, and have rushed to the aid of the hurting after disasters in Japan and China.
In 2006, we embarked on a very special relationship with the small East African nation of Rwanda. The country was seeking partnerships to assist the country's VISION 2020 recovery from its tragic 1994 genocide. Through a business connection with board member and alumnus Richard Lawson, and his wife, Pat, Dr. O'Neal was introduced to Rwandan President Paul Kagame. From that relationship, OC began partnering with Rwanda in a variety of ways:
- Since 2006, The Rwandan Presidential Scholars Program has brought 10 to 20 of the brightest young men and women from Rwanda to OC each year.
- OC helped begin the Peace Through Business program in Rwanda, which provides entrepreneurship training for female business owners, and the Kigali International Community School, which educates more than 300 Rwandan and expatriate children each year.
- The Rwandans4Water and Wishing Well programs are student-led non-profit organizations that raise money for clean water projects in Rwanda and other impoverished locations in Africa.
In April 2010, when the first 10 Presidential Scholars graduated, President Kagame made his second visit to OC to deliver the commencement address. He said he appreciated Oklahoma Christian's approach of "putting values at the center of education."
Education has an impact in the Philippines, where Give-A-Goat is making a difference in the lives of impoverished villagers. OC students and alumni are among those leading the program, which provides milk, food and money - and teaches responsibility - through goat raising.
OC also has grown and deepened its relationships in Asia. Through our four-decade relationship with Ibaraki Christian University and several congregations throughout Japan, our numbers of alumni have grown along with the numbers of students who are coming to study on our campus. In addition, our international recruiting efforts have drawn many students from China and 60 other countries. OC's Study Abroad programs also have continued to flourish and grow.
In 2010, OC founded the Center for Global Missions to encourage students to become mission minded not only while they are students, but in their future careers and endeavors.
In the past decade, Enterprise Square USA became home to the university's Academy for Leadership & Liberty. The Academy has made a significant impact through programs such as the Distinguished Speaker Series, Four Star Leadership with General Tommy Franks, the International Energy Policy Conference, the Oklahoma Leadership Academy, Opportunity Oklahoma, Complex Dialogues, Peace through Business-Rwanda, and the Southwest Youth Leadership Conference.
Many of OC's most distinguished guest speakers have visited campus through Academy programs. Truett and Dan Cathy, Mike Huckabee, Michael Reagan, Tony Snow and Kenneth W. Starr are just a few of the speakers who have raised OC's profile and helped the university impact the community. Through the Four Star Leadership program, students had the opportunity to meet King Abdullah II of Jordan on a 2010 trip to his country, then again in 2011 when the king visited Oklahoma.
Oklahoma Christian also expanded its efforts in Alumni Relations and Church Relations. The Church Relations team oversees the OC lectureship and plans monthly luncheons for preachers held on the OC campus.
Recent Church Relations initiatives include the "Man of God" newsletter (aimed at encouraging young men to become preachers) and the "Good News" newsletter (which highlights local church service and evangelism). Another key function of OC's church relations work is eBibleStudy (eBibleStudy.org); more than 14,000 people have downloaded 63,000 pieces of class material prepared by members of OC's Bible faculty.

NMAP v3.48 tutorial lesson 5 of 5 rev 1.0 by TheHorse13
PREFACE ***PLEASE READ AND UNDERSTAND THIS*** (Will be repeated at the top of each lesson)
I'd like to start by saying that I will be covering many of the basic functions along with examples and explanations why you would want to use the tool in each scenario. In addition, I will hit on several advanced features for those who are familiar with the tool but not to the point where advanced knowledge of the application is grasped.
***I will be borrowing verbage (in some cases)*** from the developer because I feel that the developer has worded things in such ways that I cannot improve upon. By no means is this a cut & paste tutorial but I would like to make everyone aware that I will be borrowing info where it makes sense.
NOTE: TheHorse13 takes no responsibility in regards to your use of the information presented in the NMAP tutorial series. If you get into trouble, then obviously you arent as 31337 as you thought.
Bold text - Command syntax
Underlined text - Important information
Please read the past four tutorials if you are new to NMAP. They are all in the Anti-Online tutorials forum.
You have seen basic, intermediate and advanced scanning techniques used thus far. You have also seen some of the footprints left behind by NMAP and how to avoid doing so. Building on this information, there will be times when you conduct scans with NMAP and the application will return something that looks like a giant pile of crypto babble. We will go over what this really is and what to do with the information. We will also use some other less used NMAP scans to quietly probe network devices for vulnerabilities as well as some logging features.
This is the final lesson in the NMAP series. I covered what I feel are useful features although there are others that I have not hit upon. As many of you know Fyoder is going to write a book on the application. That should tell you what this tool is capable of doing. I hope that this short series of tutorials have been helpful to both beginners and advanced users.
NMAP Fingerprints - What is This?
From time to time, you will scan a particular host and you will receive output that looks like cryptobabble. Let's look at an example.
[haxor@localhost]# NMAP -v -sV -O -p 1-1024 192.168.0.44
Starting nmap 3.48 ( http://www.insecure.org/nmap/ ) at 2003-11-20 09:05 EST
Interesting ports on 192.168.0.44:
(The 1017 ports scanned but not shown below are in state: closed)
21/tcp open ftp Microsoft ftpd 5.0
80/tcp open http Microsoft IIS webserver 5.0
135/tcp open msrpc Microsoft Windows msrpc
139/tcp open netbios-ssn
443/tcp open ssl Microsoft IIS SSL
445/tcp open microsoft-ds Microsoft Windows 2000 microsoft-ds
1024/tcp open kdm?
No exact OS matches for host (If you know what OS is running on it, see http://www.insecure.org/cgi-bin/nmap-submit.cgi).
TCP/IP fingerprint:
Nmap run completed -- 1 IP address (1 host up) scanned in 23.524 seconds.
Hmmmm, what could this mess be? This mess is what NMAP uses to try and fingerprint the stack. You see, certain stack implementations respond differently when presented with an improper TCP flag, etc.. NMAP has a database of stack fingerprints which is based on RFCs for proper responses and also how specific proprietary stacks respond to the probes that NMAP makes when fingerprinting. What each of these lines represents is a tutorial by itself but if anyone is interested, here is a link that explains it:
NOTE: To view the content of the NMAP stack fingerprints file, open it in a text editor of your choice. The locations are:
WIN32: %NMAP directory%nmap-os-fingerprints
*NIX: default install directory: /usr/local/share/nmap/nmap-os-fingerprints
Now then, as you can see, NMAP is having a small issue identifying a Windows box. I have included this example on purpose to reinforce the fact that the NMAP fingerprinting feature is *NOT* fool proof.
Now, if you know what kind of box you are hitting and NMAP does not recognize it, you can send the fingerprint to Fyodor (NMAP developer) and it will be added to the fingerprint file in future builds. If you want it right away, you can add it to the nmap-os-fingerprints file on your local machine. Just follow the format of the other entries and you are good to go. This method is also helpful if you dont want others outside your organization to see how a specific device responds to NMAP fingerprinting. Developers and the like would most likely want to keep this information hush hush for as long as possible.One thing to note is that NMAP will overwrite the fingerprints file when you install a newer release, so keep that in mind if you choose to add entries locally.
Here is the link to submit NMAP fingerprints:
NOTE: Per the application developer, ¡§Be careful to not submit fingerprints generated when scanning through firewalls, NAT devices (on your end!) or load balancers without telling that in the Notes section.¡¨
NMAP is capable of logging in several different formats. Personally, I use the human readable format but you do have the option of XML and grepable format. Without getting too deep into this, here are the appropriate switches for each logging method. They can be added anywhere in the NMAP command you issue.
-oN <logfilename> This logs the results of your scans in a normal
human readable form into the file you specify as an argument.
-oX <logfilename> This logs the results of your scans in XML form
into the file you specify as an argument.
-oG <logfilename> This logs the results of your scans in a grepable
form into the file you specify as an argument.
-oA <basefilename> This tells Nmap to log in ALL the major formats
(normal, grepable, and XML). You give a base for the filename, and the output files will be base.nmap, base.gnmap, and base.xml.
-oS <logfilename> thIs l0gz th3 r3suLtS of YouR ScanZ iN a s|<ipT
kiDd|3 f0rM iNto THe fiL3 U sPecfy 4s an arGuMEnT! U kAn gIv3 the 4rgument "-" (wItHOUt qUOteZ) to sh00t output iNT0 stDouT!@!!. Just a note that this option is more for fun than anything else. The developer has a sense of humor and it is pretty funny to add this switch just to see what the output looks like. º
OK, lets say that you are auditing a network because, of course, you wouldnt be attacking one. The firewall admin says that they have a tight firewall and nothing can get around it. However, you notice a CHUBB institute certificate on his wall so already you know that he barely knows which shoe goes on the right foot. You setup shop outside the network and you begin to probe the network. Now, even though you know that one dumdum is working at the company, there could be smarter people lurking around so your paranoia will serve you well. The first thing we do is a port scan to determine if the firewall allows inbound DNS connections for whatever purpose (Zone transfers, etc.).
[haxor@localhost]# NMAP -v -sS -g 53 -p 53 184.108.40.206
Lets look at the command. We specified s SYN scan with a source port of 53 (DNS) and a destination port of 53 on the host specified. Note that I didnt try to hide my identity because this is an audit, not an attack. We could have easily used a decoy or zombie scan (covered in earlier tutorials). Now, a decent firewall will immediately dump this source routed traffic. It will examine the contents to determine if this is malicious traffic and typically black hole the traffic.
Lets say that this turns up nothing. Hmmm, lets try something else.
[haxor@localhost]# NMAP -v -sU -g 53 -p 53 22.214.171.124
Notice that we are now using the UDP scan switch here. Lets say that again, we are shot down. Not to worry, there are other avenues. Lets try this:
[haxor@localhost]# NMAP -v -sS -g 20 -p 23 220.127.116.11
Youll notice that I now specified an FTP data channel source port. Success!! We will assume that the IP address we hit is a static NAT address which will dump us to a box that sits on the inside of the network. Static NATing to internal addresses is much more common than you may think. If the box is listening, we can *easily* begin to chip away at it and eventually gain access. If we are able to, then GAME OVER. We can safely download a rootkit and anything else we like to the host. We can even go as far as setting up a reverse telnet session using Netcat (but thats another story). So we now know that the device being used to guard the perimeter of this network is vulnerable to source routed packets that seem to be coming from a legitimate FTP session. This is hole #1. Lets continue.
OK, so here we are, and we now tell the admin that not only can we poke holes in his network, we now tell him that it will be very difficult if at all possible to see us do it. We tell him that he can watch the logs and we still will be able to sneak under the radar screen.
Lets make some assumptions. First, lets say you were doing some traffic analysis and you have a pretty good idea what normal traffic looks like. There are many ways to do this, but different tools are involved. Now, lets say that all of our precision scans turned up nothing so were gonna have to scan the entire class C range that we know is registered to them (because we did a whois on the domain and got all kinds of juicy info). Now, were not going to scan the ENTIRE class C range in one sweep. This would be like driving a bus through a library while trying to sneak out. Lets be a bit more clever. Again, we can use the zombie or decoy switches learned earlier but for this example, were going to leave them out.
[haxor@localhost]# NMAP -v -n -T Paranoid -data_length 64 --randomize_hosts -oN haxor -sV -p 1-65535 188.8.131.52-203
OK, what weve done here is tell NMAP to never do a reverse DNS lookup (-n) and use Paranoid scans ( -T Paranoid serializes scans and waits 5 minutes between scans before continuing to the next host in hopes of not triggering an IDS) and we specified a data length consistent with normal traffic (--data_length 64) and we want it to randomize hosts (--randomize_hosts) and we want it logged in human readable format (-oN)to haxor and we specified a service scan for the entire IANA range for the host range of 198-203.
WHEW!!! Now, go relax and have a nice glass of beer while NMAP writes a nice file with any available goodies for further review.
I have covered quite a few commands and scenarios but there are many more that I have not. I could write a book on the many features NMAP has to offer (like it has a TCP dump type feature using the (-packet_trace switch). Like I mentioned, a book is coming out on its use. My tutorials are designed to give you a solid understanding of its use along with some very handy scan techniques. I hope you enjoyed the series.
I didn't get a change to really clean up the formatting, so if something bothers you let me know. Also, if there is something you wanted covered but I didn't hit on it, let me know and I will post a mini tut on the feature or technique.

A runner has blasted the organisation of Sheffield half marathon as "shambolic" – after the race was cancelled because there wasn't enough water for competitors.
Rachel Jones, of Hollingwood, and her sister, Alison Delaney, from Middlecroft, were among the thousands of runners who still took part in Sunday's race despite its last-minute cancellation.
Rachel, 32, who thankfully had water in her running belt, said: "It was an absolute shambles.
"Despite everything we had a really good run and the people of Sheffield were very supportive.
"When we set off we had absolutely no idea it had been cancelled until we crossed the finish line.
"It also now makes sense as to why people were outside their houses with bottles filled with water."
Organisers cancelled the event citing a safety risk and said that a water company did not deliver the required supplies.
In a statement they said: "It is with huge disappointment and regret that we were forced to cancel this year's race due to a problem with the delivery of water.
"We would like to express our sincerest apologies to everyone involved in the race who will be affected."
South Yorkshire Police initially tried to set up road blocks to stop the runners who decided to embark on the 13-mile race but eventually gave up and decided it was safer to let them complete the run. Deputy Prime Minister and Sheffield Hallam MP Nick Clegg has called for a "full explanation" of how the "farcical situation" was allowed to happen.

Ron Lewis had 17 points and Greg Oden added 12 for Ohio State (30-3), which also won the 2002 tournament in Indianapolis. Kammron Taylor and Alando Tucker had 15 and 10 points, respectively, to lead Wisconsin (29-5). Jason Bohannon chipped in nine.
Ohio State has won 17 in a row since losing to Wisconsin in Madison back on Jan. 9. The Buckeyes have won 30 games for the first time in school history and are a lock for a No. 1 seed in the NCAA tournament, which starts Tuesday. The Badgers take second for the second time at the tournament and are likely to be a No. 2 seed.
Wisconsin opened the game 1-of-11 from the field and had 12 turnovers in the first half. Ohio State scored 12 points off those turnovers and led 26-20 at the break. Conley Jr. was 5-of-7 from the field in the opening half and had 12 points.
Oden played just six minutes of the first half after picking up two fouls. He didn't attempt a shot in the period and had just two boards. He had eight rebounds in the second half and finished 5-of-9 from the field.
Bohannon got the Badgers going with a deep 3 halfway through the first half. The freshman had seven points before the break. Tucker scored all seven of his first-half points in the final four minutes.
Ohio State scored on its first four possessions of the second half and led 34-23 on a putback by Oden. Greg Stiemsma rejected the 7-footer on the next possession and hit a 15-foot jumper on the offensive end. Taylor followed suit with a jumper in the lane and Bohannon found Marcus Landry for an easy two to complete the 6-0 run.
After a bucket inside by Oden, Taylor hit his first 3-pointer and pulled Wisconsin within four, 36-32, with 14 minutes remaining.
But Wisconsin finished 4-of-23 from behind the arc and it cost them down the stretch. The Buckeyes used a 13-2 run late and took a 66-47 lead with just over two minutes left to play. Lewis hit a 3-pointer during the rally and Jamar Butler delivered the dagger with a deep 3 with the shot clock winding down. OSU was 6-of-16 from 3-point range.
Tucker and Taylor were named to the Big Ten All-Tournament team following the contest. Oden and Conley Jr. were also selected to the team as was Purdue's Carl Landry. Oden was named the tournament's Most Valuable Player.

Hundreds of Jeeps paraded down the beach Sunday morning, capping a nearly weeklong celebration of a vehicle whose uses are as varied as the people who drive them.
DAYTONA BEACH SHORES — Hundreds of Jeeps paraded down the beach Sunday morning, capping a nearly weeklong celebration of a vehicle whose uses are as varied as the people who drive them.
The five-day Jeep Beach event, organized by the Mid-Florida Jeep Club, is a celebration of Jeep vehicles, Jeep owners and generally all things Jeep-related. On Saturday, the Jeeps gathered at Daytona International Speedway to participate in a "Show-n-Shine" competition and try their luck on an obstacle course.
This year marked the event's 10th anniversary. As early as 7 a.m., Jeeps made their way down Atlantic Avenue onto the beach near the Shores Resort in Daytona Beach Shores.
Guided by event staff, hundreds of Jeeps, ranging from shiny, brand-new models to well-worn military-style vintage specimens, lined up in rows of three in a line stretching hundreds of feet.
Jeep owners flocked to the Daytona Beach area from as far away as Alaska, and Puerto Rico, sewn together by a common affection for what they universally praised as a versatile vehicle.
"I think it's a family-oriented vehicle," said Joe Hogan of Stuart, who was attending the event for the first time. "You can come out and have fun with your family and your friends."
"It's getting huge. There's a lot more Jeeps than the first year," said Brandon Buchmeier of Brandon. "There's a lot of good people getting together."
Nick Cubilete, also from Brandon, said the Jeep's versatility makes it attractive to a lot of people, particularly those who enjoy the outdoors.
"It's so versatile. You can do anything with it," he said. "Go off-road, take the top off, go to the beach, enjoy the weather. If the weather gets bad, there's so many different tops. It can do everything."
Aside from being an opportunity for owners to show off their trucks, the event also raised money for the Volusia/Flagler Boys and Girls Club and the Blue Ribbon Coalition, a nonprofit group that promotes access to public lands. Last year's events raised $30,000 for the two groups, according to the event's website.
About 9 a.m., the roaring procession of Grand Cherokees, Wranglers and other Jeep models began rolling down the beachfront, with many blaring music, waving flags or shouting toward the crowd of onlookers.
Aside from the hundreds of Jeeps, hundreds of pedestrians took to the beach as well as the morning went on. Despite the crowds and heavy beach traffic, the event went off without a hitch, according to Capt. Tammy Marris of the Volusia County Beach Patrol.
"It was just basically managing the crowds and traffic," she said.
An official crowd estimate won't be available until Monday, Marris said.
After the parade, many of the Jeep owners regrouped at the Shores Resort for a pool party and luncheon, officially marking the end of the five-day long festival.

Mariah Carey was a judge on "American Idol" for one season and the singer left little doubt she would consider ever returning for an encore gig Wednesday.
During an interview for New York's Hot 97 radio station to promote her new single "The Art of Letting Go," the pop star was quizzed over her time on the Fox reality talent competition.
"Honestly, I hated it," Carey answered. "I thought it was going to be a three-person panel. They gave me a nice dangling monetary moment, and I was just like, 'Okay. Randy Jackson will be there; I've known him forever. He used to play bass for me. Like, this isn't a big deal. This will be nothing.' But it wasn't that. It was like going to work every day in hell with Satan."
Throughout her time on the show Carey publicly feuded with fellow judge Nicki Minaj, though Minaj's name was never mentioned during her on-air interview. The pair had several heated debates during both the "Idol" audition episodes and the live shows. In May, Minaj took to Twitter to call Carey "insecure" and "bitter."
Carey then laughed off her comparison and downplayed her initial statement telling host Angie Martinez, "Naw, I'm just playing. It didn't affect me that much. I was disappointed." What she did love, Carey then insists, were the contestants.
Focusing on her own music for now, Carey said she has no plans to revisit her role as a judge on a televised talent show. "I like being in the studio better and going on my own tours, etc., so we're going back to that."
Season 15 of "American Idol" hits screens in January and will see returning judge Keith Urban team with Jennifer Lopez and Harry Connick, Jr., and Randy Jackson taking on a mentor role.

Map Name:Mediterranean
Mapmaker(s):Maybe me
Number of Territories:nknown
Special Features:b unknown
What Makes This Map Worthy of Being Made:a better representation of antiquity
So I really like Napoleonic Europe, with all its little combinations of bonuses. I think the concept could be extended to the Punic Wars and throw in the Macedonian wars too. it would cover the med. with battle markers to indicate battles of the mentioned wars. Many of the bonus regions combine differently, most of them increasing Roman or Carthaginian bonus substantially So as to encourage conflict and expansion and increase the value of acquired territories. Most of the spread would be towards the MidEast, but conflicts could erupt in Spain as well, the trouble is where does Egypt fit in, they were mostly independent until Augustus' time. I'd want them to remain mostly independent yet extremely valuable if acquired like a high neutral starting and a even higher bonus when obtained.
Basically the goal is to put players in a situation of antiquity and let them develop their bases in the traditional ancient empires of late antiquity. then throw away the script and if carthage and Rome don't want to fight three wars, they don't have to. If someone wants to turn Egypt into a major power to rival Rome, which it could have been had it had better leadership, then they can do that. a player in Macedonia can also do the same. So the map would set the stage for 4 major regions of power: Rome, Carthage, Egypt and Greece.
Players start in random places but thew dynamics of troop rewards encourage them to set up on the map empires that are similar to those in antiquity. Perhaps an auto deploy on traditional major cities of significance, so Rome, Carthage, maybe Athens though Pella was the capital of Macedon, Throw inMemphis and Thebes for Egypt. Possibly even add in Jersusalem as it was fairly significant in its time. Babylon also should be in there as an auto deploy for its significance. No barabarians if possible. definitely not groups like the huns or goths, but groups like Dacia could merit a mention as somewhere to be expanded into, same with Gauls.
So thoughts?
And does anyone want to do graphics and let me guide gameplay?

MCA Inc.
List of Deals
- 1959 sale of 400,000 shares of common stock
- 1962 exchange of shares of convertible preferred stock and common stock for capital stock of Decca Records, Inc.
MCA, originally known as the Music Corporation of America, was founded in 1924 by Jules C. Stein. Stein, with his partner William Goodheart, established the company to book bands. The company grossed over $30,000 in its first year alone and quickly began to revolutionize the booking business. At the time MCA was founded, most bands played under their bookers' names rather than their own. In return for exclusive rights to represent a band, Stein began to bill bands under their leaders' names. By 1927 MCA represented about forty bands. In 1930 the company persuaded Lucky Strike to sponsor a radio program that featured a different MCA band every night. The show caused bands to flock to MCA; by the late 1930s the company had attracted some 65 percent of the major bands in the country. This predominance in booking bands gave MCA such recognition that it was soon able to begin to book other entertainers as well.
In 1936 Stein hired Lew Wasserman to run the company's advertising and publicity departments. The following year, Wasserman became the first agent to negotiate a percentage of a movie's earnings rather than a straight salary for screen stars. Such contracts made millionaires of many actors. At first the company purchased talent agencies, which brought whole stables of stars under MCA's control. When agencies refused to sell, MCA then bought individual contracts. In 1945 MCA made its most important acquisition, the Hayward-Deverich Agency in New York City, for $4 million. Hayward-Deverich was the most prestigious firm in the business and brought clients such as Henry Fonda, Greta Garbo, and Joseph Cotton to MCA, making it the premier talent agency in the United States.
MCA began to produce television shows in 1949, forming a subsidiary to film a show named "Stars over Hollywood." The production then served as a vehicle for providing MCA's clients with jobs. Initially, MCA concentrated on selling shows to major networks, but in 1952 it began selling reruns to local stations across the United States. Then MCA produced its first syndicated show, "Chevron Theatre." Two years later the company purchased United Television Programs, a TV syndicator that owned mostly reruns. For the first time, MCA's agency commissions ($6 million) were exceeded by its income from television film rentals (nearly $9 million).
During the late 1950s MCA derived revenues from over 45 percent of all the network evening shows. It produced and co-produced more series than any competitor, including "Riverboat," "Wagon Train," and "General Electric Theater." MCA also acted as selling agent for about fifteen other series, including "Alfred Hitchcock Presents," "Ford Startime," and "Wells Fargo." In 1958 MCA purchased the TV rights to Paramount's pre-1948 library of about 750 feature films for $10 million. In 1959 MCA paid Universal Studios over $11 million for its 420-acre back lot, including facilities and equipment. The company first offered its stock for sale to the public in 1959, and that year a new parent company, MCA Inc., was organized to replace Music Corporation of America. The new organization had twenty subsidiaries or divisions, of which the most important were Revue Productions, the division that made television film series for MCA; MCA Artists, a subsidiary that functioned as a sales agent for television films; and Music Corporation of America, a subsidiary that represented nightclub and variety performers.
By that time, MCA was both the largest employer of show-business talent and the largest show-business agent. As a result, the company often hired its own clients, a practice deplored by other industry members. In 1962, when MCA bought Decca Records, Inc., the company that owned Universal Pictures, Inc., the Justice Department forced it to choose whether to operate as a talent agency or a film-production concern. The company decided to divest itself of its talent agency, concentrate on feature-film production under the Universal Pictures name, and branch out into non-entertainment fields to compensate for the loss in agency revenue.

GREENVILLE — For the first time in nearly three years, there's plenty of activity at Big Squaw Mountain.
The Friends of Squaw Mountain, a nonprofit organization, has signed a lease with resort owner James Confalone to open the lower portion of the mountain. The one-year lease was for $1, according to Greenville real estate agent Rodney Folsom, who is the agent for Confalone.
"I knew that the landowner was willing to let an organization or a municipality run it," said Amy Lane, president of The Friends of Squaw Mountain. "I was thinking over the past couple of winters: 'Can't a group of people come together just like our snowmobile clubs?'"
Lane formed the nonprofit group, which is composed of four board members, last February, she said, but the actual work on the property didn't begin until last month.
"Once we got all that snow, I approached my team and said, 'Are we in or are we out?' And it was unanimous," said Lane.
She said she hopes to open by Jan. 18 with eight intermediate and beginner level trails. There will be one operating chairlift.
Lane started "The Friends of Squaw Mountain" page on Facebook on Dec. 26, 2012. On Wednesday, the page had nearly 1,700 "likes."
"People are like, 'Wow, I wish I could be there in the nitty gritty helping spruce this place up, but I can't, so I want to send you money,'" Lane said. "It's been great to get these messages and the donations to help pull this off."
In just two weeks, the organization has received donations or pledges for $18,000, said Lane.
"It's been coming in from all over. I got a $20 donation from a gal in Tennessee and we received a $5,000 donation," she said. In all, about 40 people have donated money, but there's more coming in every day.
Instead of donating money, others have offered their skills and time. Because it's the middle of winter, there aren't many construction projects, said Lane. That has made many contractors available.
"They don't have a lot of money, but they have time, so it's awesome to see them all come forward and say, 'How can I help?'' Lane said, adding that between 50 and 60 people have volunteered their time to help restore the trails and lodge.
On Wednesday, the lodge was receiving a fresh coat of paint and a side room was being vacuumed. More than a dozen people were working on the property. Steve Lane, Amy's husband, was operating a groomer donated for the day from the Blue Ridge Riders Snowmobile Club in Rockwood to groom the trails.
The site has come a long way since Amy Lane first opened the door to the lodge two weeks ago, she said.
"When I first got here there was no power, there was no water, there was no heat," she said. "It was just what you'd imagine a 1960s ski lodge to look like that's been closed up for two years. We have a leaking roof and a sagging ceiling. I said, 'Boy, we really need some help.'"
Bill Fling of Greenville, a retired English teacher at Greenville High School, said he's eager to help with the project and work in the kitchen.
"When Squaw Mountain was in its prime in the '80s, they employed 300 people. You can imagine what that could do for the economy of Piscataquis and Somerset counties," said Fling. "This is a little step in the right direction."
"Other than what I do for my family members, this is probably the most rewarding thing I've ever done," said Fling. "It warms you to be a part of it. This mountain means a lot of things to a lot of people."
For Noel Wohlforth of Greenville, seeing the project through is a bit of redemption.
"The reason for my helping get Squaw Mountain reopened is that I was the lift operator five or six years ago that had to shut down the big lift when we had the accident [on the upper trails]," said Wohlforth. "Unfortunately, [that lift] never got going again, and I sort of feel responsible being the last one to shut it down. I wanted to be the one to start … up [a lift] again."
Wohlforth said about six years ago a chair with two passengers on an upper-trail ski lift fell to the ground, forcing him to shut down the lift. The upper trails will remain closed.
Amy Lane said the enthusiasm of other people has inspired her to work hard.
"It's motivating and it makes me want to get up at 4 o'clock tomorrow morning and start it and stay up until 11 o'clock tomorrow night," she said.
Field inspectors, chairlift cable inspectors and fire inspectors have signed off on the site, said Lane. Only an inspection on the lift by the insurance company, a load test on the lift and a health inspection of the snackbar are left to do. She said she hopes to have them all done by next week.
"Hypothetically, this can all be done next week if everything goes as smoothly as it has so far," she said.
A board of directors meeting will be held Monday in order to set lift ticket prices. Lane asked those interested to check the Friends of Squaw Mountain website for updates.

The Today show has hired Jenna Bush Hager to do a monthly feature story on education. This seemingly innocuous announcement prompted one of the sillier recent outbursts of liberal hand-wringing. The New York Times's Opinionator blog collected some of the left-wing commentary under the title "There Goes the Meritocracy." If irony was intended it was too subtle for me to pick up.
Rather, the Times seems to take seriously various liberal commentators' claims that NBC's hiring of Ms. Hager, the author of two best-selling books for children, has some baleful significance: it's a sign that our nation is in its "late empire" phase, with "white Russians" dominating our political and media classes, and a symptom of our "national disease." Above all, the fact that NBC hired Ms. Hager indicates that our "great meritocracy" is a fraud.
If Ms. Hager had been hired to perform neurosurgery, this hand-wringing about "meritocracy" might have some force. But doing a once-a-month feature on a soft-news TV show? Good Lord, get a grip!
The old sock-puppet Glenn Greenwald, who apparently is still around, uses Hager's new job as the occasion for a broadside against the political and media industries:
They should convene a panel for the next "Meet the Press" with Jenna Bush Hager, Luke Russert, Liz Cheney, Megan McCain and Jonah Goldberg, and they should have Chris Wallace moderate it. They can all bash affirmative action and talk about how vitally important it is that the U.S. remain a Great Meritocracy because it's really unfair for anything other than merit to determine position and employment. They can interview Lisa Murkowski, Evan Bayh, Jeb Bush, Bob Casey, Mark Pryor, Jay Rockefeller, Dan Lipinksi, and Harold Ford, Jr. about personal responsibility and the virtues of self-sufficiency.
That's almost clever, except that if you're going to list politicians who have no apparent claim on office other than their names, it is ludicrous to omit Ted, Joe and Patrick Kennedy. But what, really, is the point? It's true that there are quite a few politicians who are the sons or daughters of politicians, but so what? That is true of most occupations. My father was a lawyer; I'm a lawyer. It happens a lot. I've seen no data suggesting that it is more common in politics (or journalism) than anywhere else. And politics is relentlessly competitive; even the worst candidates, like Joseph and Patrick Kennedy, take office only if most voters vote for them.
Two of the liberals quoted in the Times story somehow bring the conversation around to Sonia Sotomayer. It still isn't clear to me how she relates to Jenna Hager. Seemingly the idea is that because she came from an undistinguished background, we conservatives were obligated to support her nomination. Sure: just like liberals backed Clarence Thomas and Sam Alito, right?
The TImes gives the last word to the ever-hysterical Andrew Sullivan, who attacks the "nepotism" of Hager's hiring as symptomatic of our "late empire" status. I'm sure grand theories have been hung on a more slender thread, but I can't think when offhand.
Actually, though, it isn't nepotism. Neither President Bush nor any other of Jenna's relatives works for NBC News, and I think it's a safe bet that nearly all of the relevant people at the Today show and NBC detest Jenna's father.
I haven't read Sullivan for a long time, but the snippet quoted by the Times reminds me how unintentionally entertaining he can be: because NBC is hiring Jenna Hager–hey, he drew the connection, I didn't–he claims that the United States is on the verge of becoming "17th century Spain." Oh, sure. We understand, Andrew. We think you're sane, really we do.
So: do we have a meritocracy? Of course we do. If you doubt that, apply to medical school. Or try to rise in a sales organization without, you know, making sales. Is our meritocracy imperfect? Of course. Like every other human institution. Is Russia's meritocracy perfect? France's? Cuba's?
Is it a good thing to have a father who is President? Of course. Do you suppose Malia Obama will have some good opportunities one of these days? (As, by the way, her mother has already.) On the other hand, does having a President for a father guarantee success in life? Amazingly enough, in our great meritocracy it doesn't.
Our republic has survived many ups and downs. I predict, confidently, that it will survive Jenna Hager's monthly reports on education issues.

when it's not just a hatWednesday, January 22, 2014
Sometimes, so much satisfaction can be derived from the simplest of patterns. I can't even begin to tell you how finishing this hat in less than twenty four hours felt. I have made my share of hats. I love them. And I love how it feels when you give them away. But this one seemed extra special. Maybe it was the fact that I haven't had that quick of a knit in a while. (Although, this pattern is even faster.)
Or maybe it was because my sweet mother sent me the yarn along with the pattern. Enough yarn for two hats. So that I can give someone a warm hug for their head and keep one for myself.
Pattern: Candide Sailor's Watch Cap (Love how they spelled purl.)
Yarn: Berrroco Lodge
Needles: size 10
A two hour delay this morning because of the temperatures dropping below zero. I've been hoping for that email that tells us that they cancelled school. I have my hot coffee. Three sleeping children. And a hat to knit.
Happy Wednesday!

Really cute hat!ReplyDelete
Two hour delay, cold temps, knitting and sleeping kids. I had something similar on Tuesday.ReplyDelete
Not only is it sometimes more than a hat, sometimes it's all in the name of the hat. I can see myself making this for my husband. His dad was a merchant marine. It would be a nice connection. Indeed, it's a pearl of a pattern. :-)
hi denise! it's #7446, crater lake! xxReplyDelete
love your words...and your hat. xoReplyDelete
Sometimes, it's just nice to relax and just knit and not have to keep referring back to the pattern. Great job!ReplyDelete

NH National Guard officer ordered off state propertyBy PAT GROSSMITH
New Hampshire Union Leader
August 05. 2014 8:04PM
CONCORD — Gov. Maggie Hassan ordered off state property a New Hampshire National Guard officer indicted in Texas on a sex-trafficking charge after she learned Lt. Col Raymond Valas had returned to work at state headquarters.
"It is accurate," Lt. Col. Greg Heilshorn, public affairs officer for the New Hampshire National Guard, said when asked if Valas' removal from headquarters was at Hassan's order.
"Lt. Col. Valas is alleged to have committed a serious crime, child sex trafficking, while attending a military conference as part of his official duties," said William Hinkle, the governor's press secretary. "He is facing federal criminal charges and could face military action.
"Pending the outcome of official proceedings, given the serious nature of the alleged offense, Governor Hassan consulted with the New Hampshire National Guard to ensure that we were taking every step to maintain a safe working environment for all employees, as well as the honor, integrity and reputation of our National Guard. She believes it is appropriate that he not be working in close proximity to other Guard employees or have access to secured information or buildings at this time."
A 15-year-old girl that Valas allegedly had sex with was advertised as an escort on backpage.com. Valas' trial is scheduled for Nov. 17. Heilshorn confirmed that Valas, 41, returned to his job as an operations officer at state headquarters the week of July 14 but as of last week was no longer working at the state property.
Heilshorn said Valas is now on "tele-work" paid status, working from his parents' Alton home, pending the outcome of the case.
Attorney John A. Convery of San Antonio said his client is an "outstanding officer" and anything that keeps him working is a good thing. He said he thought there were a lot of New Hampshire people who fought and died for the Constitution, which includes a presumption of innocence.
"You would think they would have the same kind of respect for it that they had in 1776," he said. "It might sound a little bit corny, but it's very American. There's a presumption of innocence in this country, which is a very good thing."
Convery said the federal government, in documents he has received, said the men charged with prostituting two 15-year-old girls told the girls to tell everyone they were over 18. The government's position, Convery said, is that Valas was a customer when he was in San Antonio.
"That isn't necessarily the defense's position," he said.
Detained in May
Valas, of Bow, originally was detained in May without bail in Syracuse, N.Y., where he was a student enrolled in the U.S. Army's War College at Syracuse University's Institute for National Security and Counterterrorism. He was indicted the same week he was to graduate, according to court papers filed in U.S. District Court in San Antonio.
On July 1, a Texas judge granted bail, setting it at $50,000, but allowing Valas to post 10 percent or $5,000. He was released with numerous conditions, including home confinement. That includes him wearing a tracking device, and restricts him to residing with his parents, Raymond and Kristina Valas, at their Alton home. However, he was allowed to go to work, to medical and attorney appointments, attend religious services and court-ordered programs.
His arrest is related to an alleged prostitution ring involving three San Antonio residents who are accused of prostituting teenage girls in the city. Their charges also include the production of child pornography.
Covery, in documents arguing for bail for Valas, said his client has no criminal history and has "an exemplary military career." Valas was commissioned a second lieutenant in the U.S. Army in 1995, but left the military in 1999.
He became a sales representative for pharmaceutical giant Eli Lilly but after the tragedy of 9-11, he left his lucrative position and returned to the military "because he felt his country needed him," Convery wrote.
Manchester airport security
C Company, under Valas' command, provided additional security at New Hampshire airports following 9-11. He became a full-time member of the N.H. National Guard in 2003. He was deployed to Iraq as commander of C Company, 3rd of the 172nd Infantry Regiment (Mountain) from January 2004 to February 2005.
In 2006, he became the Guard's international affairs officer responsible for the State Partnership Program activities between New Hampshire and El Salvador. He visited El Salvador 20 times during that period and published a paper on the State Partnership Program and on the MS-13 El Salvador gang.
Covery said in court documents that Valas' children's school in Bow adopted an El Salvador school. He has been married to Kristina Lynn Valas since 1997; the couple have three children, one with Down syndrome.
The Texas case
Two San Antonio men — Marcus Deshawn Wright, 38, and Malcom Deandre Copeland, 21 — allegedly advertised the escort service. Wright, who is charged with two counts of sex trafficking of children and one charge of selling or buying children, is scheduled for trial on Aug. 18.
Amber Doak, 20, of San Antonio pleaded guilty in March to her role in prostituting a 15-year-old girl in August 2013.
She pleaded guilty to one count of sex trafficking of children and admitted using a cellphone provided by Wright to take pictures of the victim so Wright and Copeland could use them to advertise the teen on backpage.com.
The website is known for its advertising of prostitution under the pretext of "escorts," according to Texas prosecutors.
Doak fielded inquiries from those responding to the advertisement and traveled with Wright and Copeland as they transported the teen to multiple locations to engage in commercial sex.
Copeland was convicted July 23 of two counts of sex trafficking of children.
He is to be sentenced on Dec. 5.

Iran court upholds 4 death sentences over fraud
TEHRAN, Iran (AP) — Iran's state prosecutor says the country's Supreme Court has upheld death sentences against four people linked to a $2.6 billion bank fraud described as the biggest financial swindle in Iran's history.
Gholam Hossein Mohseni Ejehei says the four were convicted of being "corrupt on earth" for "disrupting" the country's economy. He says the court has ordered the verdict to be carried out but no date has been set.
Ejehei is quoted by the official IRNA news agency as saying that two banking officials have been sentenced to life in prison while 19 others, almost all of them senior government officials, were given prison terms ranging from 2 to 20 years.
Their trial last year raised questions about corruption at senior levels in Iran's tightly controlled economy.

I am currently working as an IT technician at a secondary school, some of the teachers at my school have expressed concerns about the lack of attention the students pay when they try to conduct a lesson in an IT suite.
This lack of attention is caused by the fact that the students are sat at their computers playing computer games rather than listening to the teacher or doing their work. My problem is that the students have now found out how to access the standard games that are included with the Windows operating system (e.g. spider solitaire, pinball etc), obviously I have tried to delete the .exe files from the local machines. Although then when you try to open one of the games, Windows recreates the .exe file, I assume from some DLL file somewhere on the file system. If anyone knows how I may remove the .exe files permanently, I would be very grateful.
btw All the computers in school are running Windows XP, Just in case you need this info. Also I am aware of how unpopular taking away the games will make me with the students as its not that long since I was at school, but to be honest not all the students in my school are intelligent enough to realise when they really do need to do some work and if I dont remove the games then I know that some of the students will do absolutely no coursework as a result.
Thank you in advance,

That's what I'm always wondering about when learning principal parts of verbs, where there is no supine. How do they know there isn't any? Just beacuse it doesn't occur in the texts we have, or because old grammarians say so? Or do ancient authors invent all kinds of different structures to make up for the lack of a certain supine?

Besides, if you check several dictionaries, there's always one that doesn't agree with the others about existing supines . The experts seem to disagree on it.

Ah, well, here goes...timeo, timere, timui, *beep*

why? can't i use it anyway even if they didn't? (or maybe they did and we just don't have record of it

Into the woods: With knowledge and tools
The stories, always sad, usually are predictable. Sunday's was not. That day, Brian Delaney, of Scarborough, Maine, a well-known climber with decades of experience, fell to his death in Echo Lake State Park in Conway. Delaney was climbing the famous, 700-foot Cathedral Ledge, which overlooks Echo Lake.
The next day, a man drowned in Lake Winnipesaukee at Ellacoya State Park in Gilford. On Saturday, New Hampshire Fish and Game officers rescued three parties of hikers, one on Little Haystack Mountain, one on nearby Mt. Lafayette, and another on Mt. Washington. All were from out of state.
These events are an unfortunate reminder that even the most experienced hikers, climbers and swimmers can get lost, injured or even killed. There is a good reason for that: Nature is not an amusement park. It is a dangerous place, which is why we chopped it down and built cities. To counter some of that danger, there are the preparation basics: bring water, food, extra clothing (preferably not cotton), a flashlight, a compass, a first aid kit, a hat, bug spray, sunscreen, matches and tinder, a pocketknife, and the proper footwear. Then there is the extra preparation. If you are a frequent visitor to the outdoors, consider taking CPR and basic outdoor survival classes. Or at least buy a Boy Scout Handbook and first aid merit badge book. They could save your life.
There is no way to be 100 percent safe in the woods or on the water. Terrible accidents can happen to anyone. But preparing properly can make the difference between walking out and being carried out. Just remember, we dominated nature with knowledge and tools. Don't go back without them.

Metallica Unleash 'Master of Puppets' Footage From 'Through the Never' 3D Film
As Metallica's 'Through the Never' concert film is nearing closer and closer to a theatrical release, even more footage has been unveiled to tease the movie. We've seen a bunch of behind-the-scenes trailers recently, and in addition to one more detailing the set design for '…And Justice for All,' Metallica have unleashed a full performance of 'Master of Puppets' straight from the film itself (watch above).
Metallica began revealing behind-the-scenes looks of 'Through the Never' a few weeks ago, unveiling a barrage of fascinating clips since. However, the release of 'Master of Puppets' live is an extra special treat for fans.
'Through the Never' doesn't just depict a live Metallica performance, the film also features a running narrative that is present throughout. If you're curious about how exactly the concept manifests, the 'Master of Puppets' footage will answer many of your questions. The clip is somewhat schizophrenic, as the movie cuts back and forth from the concert to the narrative, but it also gives a "big picture feel" to the viewer.
Along with the 'Master of Puppets' performance, Metallica have unleashed a look at their set design for '…And Justice for All.' The band's famous 'Doris' broken justice artwork, which has been used as a statue in past Metallica performances, is now about three times the size. Even more impressive, the destruction of Doris is super high-tech and was achieved through an incredible amount of trial and error.
Check out both new 'Through the Never' clips at the top and bottom of this post! The movie hits IMAX theaters on Sept. 27 and regular 3D screens on Oct. 4.

When I click into a ST2 window to reactivate (= refocus = make it again to a foreground window) it (in OS X), it happens that I do so by clicking into the minimap which moves me to a completely different location in the file. I believe that in the case of reactivating a window, the minimap should not react to a click.
Just wanted to chime in to say I'm having this issue too. It definitely seems not to be the intended behavior, since clicking in the body of the document while the window is out of focus doesn't reposition the cursor.
This has been discussed multiple times, as recent as yesterday:
Here is Jon's perspective on the issue:viewtopic.php?f=3&t=3414#p16158
This just shows that this behavior of the mini-map drives people crazy. The group of people that are not fond of this may be small in comparison to the people who like/don't care, but it doesn't make the minimap behavior any less jarring to that small group.
I will personally +1 every thread that pops up mentioning this; this behavior drives me crazy. The fact that it was optional in ST1 and is not optional in ST2 bothers me a little as well. I would like that same functionality in ST2 as well.
The people who don't like the feature's behavior may never get their request met, but you never know unless you make your voice heard. Many who complain are paying customers (me), and I believe they have a right to make their opinion know. Though, I agree, it should probably be consolidated to one thread. How long was the thread complaining about the icon? This is actually an issue with people's work flow with the editor.
With all of that said, I think ST2 is an amazing editor, and I am very pleased with it, but here is hoping Jon will reconsider his stance on this issue.
You're confusing two different issues. The first (the first two links, and the one you linked to Jon commenting on) is how minimap scrolling should work. I'm OK with how it works.
The second (your third link, i.e. this thread) is inconsistent behavior when refocusing the window. Suppose that I have two applications open, Sublime Text 2 and Opera. I'm looking up some documentation in Opera and want to go back to ST2. I click on the ST2 window.
If I click in the text area, ST2 properly refocuses and discards my click (since the click was only meant to bring the window to the foreground).
If I click in the sidebar or the minimap, ST2 refocuses and then processes my click, sending me to a different part of the file I'm working on, or possibly even a different file altogether. This is deeply undesirable behavior and gets really annoying, since the sidebar and minimap are on the left and right edges of the window, and thus the most likely parts to be showing behind another application.
Couldn't agree more with you, would like to hear John's take on this specific issue.
Scrollbars on OS X will scroll if clicked on while in the background, and therefore I believe that the current minimap click through behavior is correct.
Reasonable, though the clickable area of a scrollbar is far less than the minimap. Thanks for the comment.

Allen Lessels' College Hockey: Minnesota St. could be UNH's opponent in regionals
UNH, Verizon ready to team up for successful regional
The waiting game ends a little after 9 tonight.
The NCAA will announce on a Selection Show on ESPNU the who, when and where of the Division I men's hockey tournament that begins on Friday.
The University of New Hampshire, along with 15 other teams, will receive marching orders for the tournament.
The Wildcats will likely pull down a No. 2 seed for the NCAA Northeast Regional and will play in one of two semifinal matches on Friday, perhaps against Minnesota State of the Western Collegiate Hockey Association. The semis are scheduled for 4:30 and 8.
The regional championship is scheduled for Saturday at 6:30 p.m.
As results came in from various league championship games on Saturday night, it looked more and more as if UNH would land the No. 2 seed and be joined in Manchester by Hockey East rival UMass-Lowell as the No. 1 seed.
UNH and Lowell would only play each other if each won its first-round game.
The River Hawks won their first Hockey East tournament title with a 1-0 triumph over Boston University at the TD Garden and probably ended the season and 40-year career of Terrier coach Jack Parker in the process. BU needed to win the league tournament to clinch a spot in the NCAAs.
What's a few extra hours among friends, said UNH coach Dick Umile of having to wait and wait some more into the night while the Central Collegiate Hockey Association today wraps up what will be the final tournament for the league, which is disbanding after this season.
"We will have been waiting around for a week," Umile said. "A few extra hours are not going to make a difference, I guess."
It became a little easier to be at least somewhat patient earlier last week when the folks who watch these things closely and do all the computer calculations determined that UNH was going to make the NCAA tournament despite losing its Hockey East quarterfinal series, two games to one, at Providence last weekend.
After last weekend, the Wildcats were at No. 8 in the PairWise rankings that mimic the system used by the NCAA to pick teams for the tournament. Five of the 16 spots go to the winners of league tournaments. The other 11 are at-large selections.
UNH owns a 19-11-7 record and was still within the top eight Saturday night and it appears the Wildcats will remain there.
Each of the four Regional sites - Manchester, Providence, Grand Rapids, Mich., and Toledo, Ohio - get a one, two, three and four seed.
Quinnipiac, the No. 1 team overall in the PairWise ratings, will likely play in Providence.
Most signs point to Minnesota State being UNH's opponent in its first-round game on Friday.
The Mavericks are led by freshman goalie Stephon Williams, who has a 1.96 goals against average and .925 save percentage.
Minnesota State stumbled on Thursday night and lost to Wisconsin 7-2, in the WCHA Final Five. They bring a 24-13-3 record into the tournament.
Lowell also won its first Hockey East regular season title this season.
UNH won all three games it played against the River Hawks this year, but the series wrapped up on December 1. The Wildcats climbed to No. 1 in December with a great start and UMass-Lowell came on in the second half of the season.
The Wildcats beat Lowell, 3-0, on the road on Nov. 16 and then won a pair of 5-2 games on Nov. 30 and Dec. 1.
UNH never faced Lowell freshman goalie Connor Hellebucyk, who led the second half charge. He has a 1.39 goals against average and .949 save percentage and made 36 saves on Saturday night to knock off BU and register his fifth shutout.

John W. McCauley, USDA Kentucky Farm Service Agency (FSA) State Executive Director, announces that the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) will accept 1.7 million acres offered under the 45th Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) general sign-up. The Department received nearly 28,000 offers on more than 1.9 million acres of land, demonstrating CRP's continuing appeal as one of our nation's most successful voluntary programs for soil, water, and wildlife conservation. Under Vilsack's leadership, USDA has enrolled nearly 12 million acres in new CRP contracts since 2009.

Hi Toby,
I have a question, how did you glue the Flysurfer (R4) grabrail on the R3? It has a diffeerent edge, so it has to be adjusted. Did you cut it? How?
Another question is, how much and where did you sand your fins? Flysurfer fins are pretty sharp at the back - so I plan to sand them quite a bit at the back.

July, when my wife is away? Lots of rooms and I need to build a fence, deck and finish the basement. You guys up for it?
