High 5: Remembering Buddy Baker; Squirrel invasion
Presenting NASCAR content from around the web Editor's note: On Wednesday at noon ET, "High 5" will present some of the best NASCAR-related content from around the web. 1. Remembering Buddy Baker NASCAR driver Buddy Baker was known as a fearless racer and one of the sport's greats. Baker, 74, passed away Monday after battling lung cancer. In a career that spanned for over three-and-a-half decades, Baker had racing in his blood. His father Buck Baker was a two-time premier series champ. ESPN's Bob Pockrass wrote about Baker's successful career, touching on important career highlights on the man who was nicknamed the "Gentle Giant." Read the entire piece here . 2. Trouble in the Empire State New York seems to be the home of altercations in recent history, with Ty Dillon and Regan Smith getting physical with one another at Watkins Glen International during the Zippo 200 . The two, however, weren't the only athletes duking it out in the Empire State. RELATED: Ty tweets after scrap with Smith Just a couple of weeks into training camp the New York Jets are already making headlines. Head coach Todd Bowles announced on Tuesday that quarterback Geno Smith will be sidelined for 6-10 weeks due to a broken jaw. The quarterback and LB IK Enemkpali, a sixth-round pick in the 2014 draft, got physical with one another in the locker room. Now Smith needs surgery and Enemkpali needs to find another team. Geno out 6 to 10 weeks becuse of an altercation in the locker room. Broken jaw. Requires surgery. IK Enemkpali hit him. Been released. #Jets — dom cosentino (@domcosentino) August 11, 2015 3. 'Tom Brady Sux' Remember that time Kyle Busch likened himself to Tom Brady? Well he might want to play down the comparisons between himself and the Deflategate star. RELATED: Kyle compares himself to Tom Brady Sun King Brewing, an Indiana-based brewing company, is showing its disdain for the Patriots quarterback. Look closely at the expiration date. This from @SunKingBrewing in Indy.

One-year anniversary of Robin Williams' passing Tuesday marked the one-year anniversary of the passing of the beloved Robin Williams. Superb actor, witty comedian and Oscar winner are just a few of the accomplishments listed on the funny man's lengthy resume and many in the NASCAR community were avid Williams fans. Check out what some of the drivers were tweeting about the late actor this time last year: I remember Mork & Mindy as a kid. Was a fan. #NanuNanu What an amazing talent. — Dale Earnhardt Jr . (@DaleJr) August 11, 2014 Sad to hear about Robin Williams. Brings light to the fact that you can't be sure what tomorrow holds, and Everyone has their struggles. — Aric Almirola (@aric_almirola) August 12, 2014 5. Squirrels are everywhere XFINITY Series star Bubba Wallace and Kansas City Royals infielder Ben Zobrist have one interesting thing in common, squirrels. Yes, you heard that right, squirrels. Bubba had a rollercoaster weekend during the Zippo 200 . Not only did he finish outside the top 10, but he had the misfortune of running over a squirrel during the race. He confessed to reporters, right away, about his hit and run, "Yeah, I hit a squirrel." RELATED: Bubba hits squirrel during Watkins Glen race Days before during a Royals-Tigers game, Zobrist also had an interaction with a furry rodent.

Joey Logano wins XFINITY Series pole
RELATED: Full qualifying results Joey Logano won the Coors Light Pole Award for the Zippo 200 at Watkins Glen International on Saturday. The driver of the No. 12 Team Penske Ford set the pace with a speed of 124.308 mph (a new track record) in the final round of qualifying. His teammate Brad Keselowski will start second after posting a speed of 123.607 mph. Chase Elliott , Kyle Larson and series points leader Chris Buescher round out the top five. The group qualifying procedure for a road course includes two rounds, the first being 25 minutes. The 12 fastest cars from the opening session advanced to the 10-minute final round. Logano paced the first session as well, followed by Keselowski. Ty Dillon was 14th in the first session before his final run vaulted him up to sixth, advancing the driver of the No. 3 Chevrolet into the final round and knocking Brendan Gaughan out. Dillon will start sixth. Morgan Shepherd did not qualify for the race in the No. 89 Chevrolet but will drive the No. 40 Toyota in the race. The Zippo 200 is scheduled for later today at 3 p.m. ET (NBCSN, MRN, SiriusXM).
Regan Smith: 'I was pretty fired up'
RELATED: Smith, Dillon get physical post-race Regan Smith shared his view of the post-race fracas with Ty Dillon at Watkins Glen International last week, and he made no apologies for his actions. "I was pretty fired up after the race, and I feel like rightfully so," Smith said on "JR Motorsports Up Front" on Dirty Mo Radio. "That's the passion of our sport, that's why we do it. We don't do it because we go there to be all happy-go-lucky. We do it because we want to go out there and race hard and win. When you feel like you've been wronged, then sometimes you've got to handle it." Last Saturday following the Zippo 200 , Smith stopped at competitor Ty Dillon's car, leaned in and grabbed Dillon by the front of his uniform, confronting him about an incident between the two in Turn 1 on a Lap 40 restart. The two NASCAR XFINITY Series championship contenders pushed and shoved and shouted angrily at each other, promising retaliation down the road before NASCAR officials and various team members stepped in to separate them. Smith eventually was pulled away and made his way back to the garage area still fuming. The JR Motorsports driver offered some insight into his history with Dillon and the on-track incident that sparked his ire. "I think from my perspective I've been on the receiving end on more than one occasion from that car," he said. "And that's the frustrating part and that's the part that really builds. I think this year for the most part we have done a good job of racing each other hard, racing each other clean and kind of had an understanding of how we were going to run each other. I didn't take very nicely to the move that was made on Saturday. "I feel like and I don't mean to say this arrogantly, but there are certain guys in our series that are very good at braking and in braking zones … If you outbrake them, it probably means you have missed the corner, whether its a restart or whatever. For me to get in any deeper in that corner, I would have wadded the 22 ( Brad Keselowski ) up and wrecked him and the 33 ( Paul Menard ) likely. I don't race that way. ... On a road course, I feel like probably most of us, or the majority of the field has enough experience to understand that and realize that." RELATED: Dillon gets an interesting gift from Virginia Tech coach The turn of events was even more frustrating for Smith because it was an example of yet another good run at a road course turned bad for circumstances out of his control. "If you look back at my two-and-a-half-years here, we have run top five at every road course, and run strong enough to ... potentially win all of them," he said. "That's the most frustrating for me. We've got nothing to show from any of them. And it's not by our own hand of making mistakes on our own. "It's been of other things and other people just doing boneheaded stuff that makes absolutely no sense to you. We could be sitting here talking about almost 10 straight top fives on a road course instead of 'Wow, Regan never finishes good at a road course.' That's not the case. We are always up there, in the hunt and maybe that, sometimes that can be the curse. A lot of times you look at the top fives when these races are over and its guys that didn't run near the top five all day long and that's just how these things shape out sometimes." Heading into Mid-Ohio for the Nationwide Children's Hospital 200 (Saturday, 3:30 p.m. ET, NBCSN, MRN, SiriusXM) Smith is fourth in the points standings, 57 points behind championship leader Chris Buescher . Dillon is tied with Smith's JRM teammate and defending series champion, Chase Elliott for second place in the standings. Smith says he thinks that circumstances will put he and Dillon together a bit this weekend. RELATED: Latest series standings "You can pretty much guarantee that we will qualify next to each other, ride on the same pack truck prior to the race. That's how it works in NASCAR." And while Smith says he has not watched the incident, he is confident someone at JRM will make sure he sees it at some point. "I haven't watched it, nor will I," Smith later jokingly added, "I'm sure I'll be forced to watch it at the Christmas party or at some point. I know I am not going to be able to get away from it."

And while the cats are away...
But don't look for the White House to take advantage of the break to sneak in any of those controversial recess appointments that got senators so riled up last year. This time, Senate leaders came to an agreement with the White House that there would be no recess appointments.
While they've struck the same kind of gentlemen's arrangement a few times before -- one Senate aide described it as "not unusual" – more often than not the last two years have produced a string of open-and-shut sessions every few days to meet the senatorial definition of being in session. (A full adjournment for recesses requires the consent of both chambers, meaning House Speaker John A. Boehner could force the Senate into the pro forma sessions.)
In January of last year, President Obama made an end run around the Senate, naming three members of the National Labor Relations Board, as well as the head of the Consumer Financial Protection Board, while the upper chamber was out of town. Predictably, senators, particularly Republicans, were steamed. A lawsuit ensued — the latest is that a federal appeals court invalidated the NLRB appointments, though the NLRB is appealing.
But at least for the next two weeks, senators can rest their heads back at home without worrying about what the White House is up to here in Washington — and the local senators won't have to flip a coin to see who has to take gavel duty.

Red-hot Ramos catches Gonzalez for 1st time in more than 2 months
by Jacob Emert | MLB.com
WASHINGTON — Backup catcher Jose Lobaton was never officially named Gio Gonzalez's personal catcher, but it became clear the two had impressive chemistry after they worked together in 10 consecutive starts.
Wednesday, for just the first time since June 15, the duo will be split up, with Wilson Ramos staying put behind the plate for game two against the San Diego Padres.
"It's a function of Willie swinging the bat well, the homers he's hit, the ball he's driving," manager Matt William said. "So, we want to continue that offensive flow as much as possible."
Ramos is batting .238 in 2015, the lowest mark of his six-year MLB career, but he's been scorching the baseball of late for the last few days.
Since August 22, Ramos is 5-for-10 with one double, two home runs and four RBI.
Ramos caught Gonzalez the first six times out this season, but only twice since. When pitching to Lobaton, Gonzalez's ERA is more than 1.5 runs lower and his batting average against is 32 points lower.
"We want Gio to do well, certainly, and there is good rapport there [with Lobaton], but we also want to make sure that we are putting our best foot forward, too, from an offensive perspective," Williams said. "The way that Willie is swinging it, he's been really good, so we're going to put him back in there."

Rotation shuffle aligns front-end starters vs. Mets
by Jacob Emert | MLB.com
WASHINGTON — With 5 1/2 game separating the Nationals and Mets in the Nationals League East and six head-to-head meetings remaining, manager Matt Williams shuffled his starting rotation to produce the most favorable matchups going forward.
When the Mets come to D.C. on September 7-9, they will face Max Scherzer, Jordan Zimmermann and Stephen Strasburg.
Scherzer earned a $210 million contract before the start of the season to lead the Nationals' staff in 2015 and the coming years. Scherzer will also face the Cardinals – owners of the best record in baseball – when the Nationals head to St. Louis next Monday.
Williams didn't go in-depth about the decision, but he was blunt in admitting the idea was to get his best pitchers against the two best teams on the Nationals' remaining schedule.
"Yes," Williams said. "Yeah. Line him up against those two. It gives him opportunity to pitch against both those clubs."
Gio Gonzalez (9-6, 3.98) and Joe Ross (4-5, 3.56) will finish up the current series against the Padres on Wednesday and Thursday, respectively.

Q&A: Tyson Ross proud of little brother
By Bill Ladson
There are two players with the last name of Ross in the big leagues. Joe Ross plays for the Nationals, while his older brother, Tyson, is a pitcher for the Padres. As they play each other in a three-game series starting Tuesday night, Tyson will pitch Wednesday, while Joe will be on the mound on Thursday.
MLB.com caught up with Tyson before Tuesday's game to talk about his brother's success in the big leagues.
MLB.com: How surprised are you that Joe has made it this quickly? He has done really well.
Tyson Ross: I'm not too surprised. It's a matter of opportunity, and he has made the most of it since he was given that shot earlier this year.
MLB.com: What impressed you the most since Joe has been in the big leagues?
Ross: It seems like he has been consistent. He has been in jams and kept his cool. He has been able to make pitches. He doesn't seem like a 22-year-old kid out there.
MLB.com: The biggest thing they talk about is Joe's composure. How do you think he was able to get it?
Ross: He has been watching baseball a long time. He followed me around through travel ball. He has seen me in college. He saw me in the professional levels when he was in high school. It's kind of nothing new to him. In the big leagues or ballparks, he is used to it. He has been waiting his turn. Now that he has got it, he said, "I belong here. It's time to go to work."
MLB.com: When you and Gio Gonzalez were with the Oakland A's, the two of you used to go to Joe's high school games.
Ross: Before Joe's debut, the last time I actually saw him was a high school game that Gio and I went to when we were teammates in Oakland. It's pretty crazy. Those two are teammates. It goes to show how long it has been since I've seen Joe play. It's pretty cool that Gio is a good friend of mine and they are playing together. Now I have Gio to keep an eye on my younger brother.
MLB.com: How does it feel to have your parents watch both of you in the big leagues?
Ross: They are really supportive of both of us. They have a chance to come out here and watch games on back-to-back nights to see their sons pitching. It's going to be pretty cool.
MLB.com: How does it feel to have him follow in your footsteps?
Ross: It's cool. It was probably hard on him. He probably felt he was in big brother's shadow his whole life. But he is his own person. He has done a good job. It's pretty cool to be playing in the same level at this point. He was steps behind. Now, we are equals.
Like Sunday, long rallies plus home runs key to success
by Jacob Emert | MLB.com
WASHINGTON — The ideal offense has a balance of both.
Home runs provide runs and therefore the possibility for wins in a hurry. But, too high a reliance on the long ball — as the Nationals have been blamed for in years past — is counterproductive for both long-term success and winning in the playoffs.
A dearth of home runs, though, where an offense requires several hits strung together to put a dent in the scoreboard, isn't favorable either.
In the smallest of sample sizes, Sunday's 9-5 win over the Brewers was the perfect mold — long innings and big hits combined with quick-strike home runs.
"The offensive approach is important," manager Matt Williams said after the win. "The at-bats, the typical at-bats that we had today. Jayson [Werth] at the top of the lineup saw a lot of pitches. Anthony [Rendon] worked counts. [Ryan Zimmerman] walked a couple of times, so that just creates opportunity. Those type of offensive at-bats are important. Yeah, guys are going to hit the ball out of the ballpark on occasion, but that's not the measure of our success. It comes form those extended at abts and extended innings."
In the third inning, Rendon walked with two outs and the bases loaded. Bryce Harper followed with a shift-busting double, and the Nationals had started a rally. All with two outs, Washington drew three walks and knocked three hits (all of which stayed in play) to score four runs.
"In general, our team puts together some pretty long at-bats," Williams said. "We've got good on-base guys, and then one swing of the bat means potentially more than one run. That's how you get to games like today."
In the fifth inning, the Nationals posted a four spot once more, but this time the runs came on two home runs. Wilson Ramos blasted a one-out shot into the Nationals Park stands and four batters later, after one out and two walks, Rendon provided the knockout blow, a three-run home run.
"I think homers will come," Harper said. "When you have good ABs and you're trying to drive the ball in the gaps, line drives and things like that. Homers are mistakes. Rendon put a good swing on the ball today and got one, and Willie also. It's great to see, and I'm excited for both of them."
Sustained rallies on a consistent basis are directly proportional to a productive offense, but the ability to hit home runs, especially when the offense isn't stringing hits together, is vital.
Ideally, the two work in unison.
"Guys all over the base paths is what we want," Williams said. "We'll have our opportunity to drive those guys in."
Nats' Escobar could be back in lineup Tuesday
By Bill Ladson
WASHINGTON — Nationals third baseman Yunel Escobar missed the last two games because of a hyperextended neck, but manager Matt Williams said he expects him to be back in the lineup on Tuesday against the Padres.
"He was available [against the Brewers on Sunday]. He was able to get some treatment postgame and tomorrow. I expect him to be OK," Williams said.
Escobar hurt his next in the first inning on Friday night. With two outs and a runner on first, Adam Lind hit a ball near the third-base stands. As Escobar was trying to catch the ball, he hit the railing and his head hit a fan's chest. Williams and athletic trainer Lee Kuntz came to Escobar's aid.
Escobar left the game and was replaced by Danny Espinosa, who went to second, while Anthony Rendon, who started the game at second, switched over to third.
Worth noting
Center fielder Denard Span was a designated hitter for Double A Harrisburg on Sunday afternoon and went 1-for-3.
Not too hot, not too cold, Zimmermann picks up his 10th win
by Jacob Emert | MLB.com
If Jordan Zimmermann's 2015 season has been a mixed batch of great outings and disappointing ones, Sunday's effort fell somewhere in the middle.
Zimmermann recorded his 10th win of the year, but he was unable to pitch out of the fifth inning and allowed four earned runs.
"I did OK," Zimmermann said after the Nationals' 9-5 series clinching win over Milwaukee. "Definitely not my best. Didn't have my best stuff."
A Wisconsin native, Zimmermann's struggles against the Brewers started right from the start. Scooter Gennett led the game off with a single, and Jonathan Lucroy followed suit with a long home run.
"They punched me in the mouth in the first," Zimmermann said. "I kind of woke up after that, and I was doing OK for a few innings."
The Nationals' offense responded with five runs over the next four innings, putting Zimmermann in an aggressive mindset with sizable lead and an already high pitch count.
With a full count in the fifth inning, Gennett sat on Zimmermann's fastball and belted it into the right-field seats.
"3-2, obviously I'm going to throw a heater to Gennett there, and he hits a homer," Zimmermann said. "But other then that, they made me battle. I threw a lot of pitches, and obviously the pitch count was way higher than I want it to be."
Sunday marked the fifth game in which the righty allowed multiple home runs in his 26 starts this season.
Tagged for eight hits, Zimmermann struck out seven and walked only one. Part of his struggles, like last time out in Colorado, was he felt unable to find the sharpness to his slider.
"It was terrible," Zimmermann said. "It was backing up. I probably threw 4 or 5 good ones all game and the others were just spinning and staying middle."
With the win, the Nationals improved to 62-61 on the season and won two consecutive series for the first time since late June.

Nats' Treinen has act together on mound
By Bill Ladson
WASHINGTON — Nationals reliever Blake Treinen has been virtually unhittable since returning from Triple-A Syracuse on Aug. 6. Since his return, Treinen has pitched nine shutout innings with 10 strikeouts.
The key, according to Treinen, has been staying aggressive in the strike zone, thanks to his 98-mph slider. Getting ahead of hitters also has played a role in his success.
Before he went to the Minor Leagues, Treinen had mixed results with the slider. There were days when it would be sharp and breaking in the inner and outer half of the plate and other days when it would act like a slurvy pitch and stay up in the strike zone. Against the Dodgers on July 19 at Nationals Park, he pitched one-third of an inning and allowed four runs, and was sent to the Minors after the game.
Looking back, Treinen said going to Syracuse was a blessing in disguise.
"Everybody is going to be frustrated when they are told they are going down. But looking back, it was all part of a plan and a purpose for my career," Treinen said. "The Nationals saw something that needed to be fixed. You have to adjust yourself with the right mindset.
"I was fortunate to get myself in the right mindset to go down and work on things. I know I have been given an opportunity and privilege to be up here. I don't want to squander it by being pigheaded and not trying to make adjustments. Obviously something wasn't working. I feel really blessed to have an opportunity to be back with this club."

Sony teases reveal next week - God of War 4 inbound?
"Will vengeance bring redemption?"
Sony is teasing a PlayStation reveal scheduled for next Thursday, and we're pinning our hopes on a new God of War game.
The company posted the image to the right on the PlayStation Facebook page. It reads: "Will vengeance bring redemption? 04.19.12." The word "vengeance" smacks of God of War talk to us, and is that blood splatter on the image?
Evidence of an imminent God of War 4 reveal has been piling up for some time now. The unannounced game has appeared on a number of CVs and been listed by multiple retailers.
Recently a retailer attending Sony's invite-only Destination PlayStation event teased an imminent God of War reveal through Twitter. This same retailer also said a kart racing game based on the LittleBigPlanet franchise was on the way, and we all know how that turned out.
Ready at Dawn, the studio behind the numerous excellent PSP God of War titles, recently is currently working on a new project, although it's believed to be for next-gen systems a PlayStation Vita entry in the series could be on the cards too.

I'd say it's for Resistance Burning Skies but who knows.
I don't think they will tease a title as big as a new GOW this way.

Looking at the blood spray on the fonts, I have to believe we are looking at a GoW4 title.

It's most likely, God of War.

I hope it's not GOW4. Not that I wouldn't mind playing it, but I just think they should hold off on any more main series GOW titles until PS4.

Its GOW4 for sure.
But I don't see how the story will proceed, because vengeance never brings redemption. Kratos was on a fool's errand from the start. But that made for awesome games though.

Focus. Control. Conviction. Resolve. A true ace lacks none of these attributes. Nothing can deter you from the task at hand except your own fears. This is your sky.

I hope its not God of War just so like a million people are wrong"Everything that has ever happened has been leading up to this very moment"
"What happened to bros before hoes?" "Well, this one isn't a hoe, so she's first."
04-13-2012 #14
I like God of War... a lot.
But seriously after 3 games and 2 PSP spin offs I think its time for something new. Not every franchise has the legs to last forever. I think God of War, especially story wise has run its course.
If it IS GoW, I at least hope its a Vita spin off... but again, how many spin offs can you have
New IP pleaseee, but I don't think thats likely :/

Red Dead Retribution.
I thought it looked more Western wanted poster when I glanced at it on my mobile's screen, but it's probably not.
04-13-2012 #19
vengeance, i'll put the farm up, and say it's clearly God of War
Let's be honest: You sleep with anything that walks on two legs. Sometimes, you're not even that discriminating
04-13-2012 #20Today's earlier tease? It's God of War related.
Sure, it's hardly a massive leap of faith if you just wanted to guess, but I've just had a quick shufty for myself and figured it out in about a minute.
How? Easy. Go to the PlayStation Facebook page, then click on '4.19′ date thingy at the top and you'll end up here – a nice big image.
Look at the source, or grab an image URL and check the bit on the far right hand side. After all the gubbins you'll see a location on the SCEA server.
The location? Reads a bit like this – webasset/fbml/gowa_fb/2.png – which, as I'm sure you can figure out, is based around Facebook but with 'gowa' at the end.
God of War something.
Probably just 'God of War announcement'. But I was really hoping for a new IP.

red, white and blue: Okay, we'll forget about Hillary using the gender card when running against Obama. But Obama did not use the race card back then and Hillary - through her supporters like Geraldine Ferraro - used the race card, or tried to, against him. Let's just hope against hope that Hillary's Presidency won't meant endless angry women ranting. By the way Meryl - the Declaration of Independence was a major step in the eighteenth century...different time different place. That glass is half FULL.

Austin is a growing city so there is plenty to do. The most popular activities include hiking and anything outdoors and live music concerts.
Local Area:
It's awesome austin is the best ever i love it it's awesome
Local Area:
The drag rats and all of the graffiti really make the area off campus feel unsafe. A lot of people walk home at night though, so even at 4am you won't be alone on the street, but the city still isn't all that nice. Plus, construction is everywhere.
Local Area:
There are so many fun and free activities to do in Austin and that is why I love it so much. There is Zilker Park, multiple hiking trails, the lake, the river, Barton Spring ( a natural swimming spring), and downtown.
Local Area:
It's Austin! There is so much to do! We have clubbing, partying, paddle boarding, and just the second you walk outside there is so much divesrity.

Sorry, there are no reviews.
You really couldn't ask for a much better college town than Austin, Texas, the Live Music Capital of the World. There is so much to do in Austin and definitely something for everyone—bars, museums, parks, lakes, running trails, kayaking, shopping, coffee houses, outdoor music venues, smoky blues clubs, naked swimming at Hippie Hollow. There is even a little beach in central Texas—Volente Waterpark Beach.
Austin is a city with a small-town feel, and that is what most people love about it. When you live near UT, you are two minutes from downtown. People around here are walking everywhere, there is a lot of biking, and the people couldn't be friendlier. Everyone loves the laid-back atmosphere of Austin, and the fact that anything goes. On any day of the week, you can sit around outside people watching for hours and keep yourself entertained. The fun thing about Austin is that if you want to just be lazy and relax by the lake or at the park, you can do that. But if you want to be active, there are tons of places to run, bike, swim, hike, kayak, climb, or pretty much anything you can imagine. The 50,000 students of the University of Texas include so many different kinds of people with so many different kinds of interests that they blend right in to the laid-back, but always fun town that is Austin.

I'm doing some labs with Quagga on Ubuntu 10.04 LTS as a BGP router in a multihomed and multi router setup. Currently I have setup a fake "ISP" router in my lab and have my two Quagga routers behind it sharing routes with iBGP and I have ran into some issues that I can't seem to find a answer to.
My network setup looks like this .
R1 and R2 is connected with a link network (172.26.0.0/30) and are both connected to the same shared subnet of 172.26.1.0/24. The link network and shared subnet are on different VLANs.
R1 and R2 will be connected to one ISP each and will announce 172.26.0.0/23 to their ISP peers. It will be internaly subneted but to avoid beeing filtered a larger subnet will be announced.
The routers will have a floating IP that they share between themselfs (if one router goes down the other should take over) using uCARP.
Now to my problem. If I issue traceroute or ping from ISP1 to ip 172.26.1.1 everything goes smoothly and I get reply. If I do the same to ip 172.26.1.2 I get Request timeout.
I see the ICMP echo request on the router that have 172.26.1.2 assing to it's interface but it's like it don't know where to send the reply.
I have tried to Google for an answer but have come up empty handed. Tried a few solutions but nothing seems to work.
Is there any fault in my network design? I know that if I use the same subnet as shared subnet and linknet everything works fine except that machines behind the routers get a ICMP Redirect message when using ping and I think that is not a good implementation.
What I think happens is that the traffic destined for 172.26.1.2 is directed thru VLAN15 interface on R1 and when R2 (that has 172.26.1.2 assigned to it) it don't uses routing to get to ISP1 ip that are sending the ICMP Echo Request.
I can reach every network from each router (for example I can reach ISP1 192.168.0.1 interface) but not if I use 172.26.1.2 as source on R2. On R1 I can use 172.26.1.1 as source without any trouble.
IP Plan for routers.
- eth0 = 192.168.0.1
- eth1 = 10.10.0.1
- eth0 = 10.10.0.2
- eth1.10 = 172.26.0.1 (This is a VLAN interface for segmentation of LAN)
- eth1.15 = 172.26.1.1 (Also VLAN interface)
- eth1.10 = 172.26.0.2 (VLAN Interface)
- eth1.15 = 172.26.1.2 (VLAN interface)
My Quagga BGPd conf looks like this: ISP1 router bgp 65414 bgp router-id 192.168.0.1 network 192.168.0.0/23 network 10.10.0.0/24 neighbor 10.10.0.2 remote-as 65515 neighbor 10.10.0.2 description R1

ip prefix-list isp1_filter_out seq 5 permit 172.26.0.0/23 ip prefix-list isp1_filter_out seq 999 deny 0.0.0.0/0 ge 1
R2 router bgp 65515 bgp router-id 172.26.0.2 network 172.26.0.0/23 neighbor 172.26.0.1 remote-as 65515 neighbor 172.26.0.1 description R2 neighbor 172.26.0.1 next-hop-self
Any thought? Is the issue in Linux or Quagga? Do you need anything more from me regarding my setup?

Each Jeff Cooper piece is made one at a time, by hand, and examined through every step of the process - either David or Jeff Cooper will inspect each ring before it leaves the shop because they realize that every ring should be reflective of its wearer and the memories it symbolizes.
As David says, "to be able to capture all of that in a very refined, simply, and clean piece of jewelry - it's a passion and a pursuit." 40 years ago, Jeff Cooper started designing rings that exude timeless styling, taking what he knew to be beautiful and making it refined and precise.
Today, the father and son team continues to emphasize quality and the quest for perfection above all else. Each ring that carries that Jeff Cooper brand name exhibits refined simplicity, a concept that is now engrained in the brand heritage and in the company's meticulous workmanship.

I know it's possible to disallow

Is it possible to allow
root to login only using keys, but to also allow
su - to work from the commandline?
When I have disallowed
root logins in the past, it has also killed the ability to do
su - from another user.
If this is possible, how can I accomplish it?

Reviews for Abilities United
Abilities United provides valuable and critical programs and services for folks with developmental disabilities. The programs are run by skilled, knowledgeable and caring staff.

Help guarantee funding so the work can continue.
My journey to Abilities United began over six decades ago when my parents had a baby boy, my brother. Shortly, before he turned on, he was diagnosed with congenital brain damage, a fluke of nature, the doctors advised. Two years later another baby boy arrived and,sadly, nature repeated itself. The boys lived short lives, succumbing to pneumonia. Looking back, I cannot imagine how my parents managed without the warm embrace and skilled services of a Chicago-based Abilities United, But there was no such agency. Little did my husband and I know that Abilities United would be standing by when our daughter delivered our first grandchild , three months prematurely. Fortunately, that tiny boy swam early on at the agency's Betty Wright Swim Center. Now he is a strapping 18 year old freshman in college! Our family will remain involved with Abilities United forever.

I am an ex Board member and continue to volunteer to this organization that provides services to those with disabilities who automatically should be absorbed naturally into our community. Often they aren't due to the ignorance or fear of people who don't understand those with disabilities. Clients have so very much to offer. I continue to strive to get this message out there. I suggest you come by one day; talk to the Staff; learn about all the programs; perhaps meet some clients; only then will you appreciate about what I am talking. Abilities United is one of the warmest places one could be. I would encourage any of you who read this to learn more. Also contribute. We are now looking to replace our vans that take clients to work. They are old and don't have wheelchair access. This holiday season, think of what you can do for someone else who is contributing to our society despite his or her disabilities. And, get to know Abilities United!

Tigers putting the 'P' in pride
PALMETTO: Team establishing new traditions and honoring history
Published: Thursday, December 1, 2011 at 1:00 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, November 30, 2011 at 9:17 p.m.
An unknowing assistant coach from Rutgers entered the Palmetto High locker room this week and nearly did the unspeakable.
Luckily someone stopped him before it was too late.
He almost walked on the red 'P' that is painted on the floor.
And no one does that.
"No one disrespects the 'P,'" said Palmetto coach Dave Marino.
The red "P" surrounded by a black circle is one of the new touches at Palmetto this season, an attempt by Marino to get the players to embrace the past while starting their own traditions.
As 11-1 Palmetto prepares to play at Immokalee on Friday night in the Class 5A-Region 3 finals, signs of pride around the school can be found.
The most obvious sign is on the scoreboard.
On the top of the scoreboard is a large sign that honors the 1975 state championship team. The bottom of the scoreboard is reserved for district and regional champions.
"Palmetto was the first to win a state championship in Manatee County, before Manatee and before Southeast, but when you looked at the scoreboard it was like they had never played a down of football before," said Marino.
"So, that was another thing on the checklist in terms of developing pride here."
Above the bleachers several large red and black Palmetto flags add to the ambience, and the cover of the game program reads "Bring the Glory Back."
Marino is also planning a wall of fame inside the locker room building. He will hang a picture of every Palmetto player who has played Division I-A football in college. The photos will be visible to the players as they walk to the practice field and to the weight room.
Another change this year has been a statue of a black tiger just outside of the locker room.
Every Palmetto player touches the tiger before he takes the field.
The black statue was donated by the family of assistant coach Tim Knopf. It is about waist high, and sits atop a concrete foundation.
There is a reason for the concrete.
"We told the kids we're building this program on a rock," said Marino. "We're doing things the right way in terms of being good students, being good people in the hallways, being good active people in the community. That's a reminder of trying to strive for perfection in everything we do.
"You don't want a program built on stilts that looks very nice and is very flashy but if a strong wind comes it will blow that house down."
Before each home game, the players will gather around the "P" in the middle of the locker room floor and everyone will touch a stick known as "The Wood."
They do this for unity.
Then they walk out the door and touch the tiger.
As for the symbolic "P" in the middle of the locker room floor, it was painted by an art student at Palmetto, and lineman Fitz Richards insists no player has stepped on it this season.
Richards said only outsiders step on it by accident.
"We'll start yelling and getting upset, because it's all pride," said Richards. "That's what the "P" stands for. It's pride. It's a pride circle.
"The only person I can ever remember stepping on it was Coach Marino."
Richards said Marino accidentally stepped on it during halftime of a game against Lakewood Ranch, a charge Marino emphatically denies.
"No, no, no, no," said Marino. "Uh-uh."
"We couldn't do too much to him because he's the head coach," said Richards. "We couldn't yell at him or nothing like that."

Running Time: 71 Min.
Director: Robbie Rob
Companies: Big City Video, The Latin Connection, Big City Video,The Latin Connection
Cast: Cass, Saki
Critical Rating: AAA 1/2
Genre: Gay and Bi
Three black scenes are easygoing and natural. Cover couple: on a big, caramel-colored sofa, bald, bearded, clearly dominant Martinez chews out date Nine for being late, and criticizes his cocksucking. Martinez sucks his own long, long-foreskinned cock to show the punk how! He doesn't treat his "boy-pussy" well, but Nine seems to love the treatment. Widescreen camera stays in so close that sometimes you just see flesh rolling! On a small, black couch, two shorthairs, one mature and handsome, manage to angle around and suck each other. Then we go to close-ups of Younger's purplish prick in Older's darker, disgusting butthole, pumping. On a simple black bed, Cass says to younger Jewellz, "Yeah, yeah, baby, you know what you want." To which Jewellz replies, "I'm just waiting for you to get this started." In a very leisurely manner, they undress and get to it, eventually condoming and lubing Cass' cock to enjoy Jewellz's jelly-spot. In a steamy shower, Martinez tries to re-fuck much taller Nine standing up, but takes him offscreen to more comfortable accommodations. A sequel is promised. Unannounced trailers follow.
RETAILING: Not bad, and very short. Three easygoing blatino scenes.

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. -- When Boston Red Sox majority owner John Henry and NASCAR team owner Jack Roush began talking about a partnership more than three years ago, both teams were notorious for falling painfully short of winning championships.
Now they've both got titles and plan on winning plenty more together under a new banner: Roush Fenway Racing.
"I think owners get into sports for one reason: You want to win championships," Henry said Wednesday in an interview with The Associated Press. "That's something that we've tried to do, and we've successfully done it on our own. That's the primary reason. I think that we can help Jack's vision of what he wants to try to accomplish over the next 10 years, and we'll win championships."
The new partnership, which was announced at a minor league baseball park near Daytona International Speedway on Wednesday night, gives the Henry-led Fenway Sports Group a 50 percent stake in Roush's team. It is the most high profile in a recent series of moves by team owners to attract outside investment in NASCAR.
Are big-money partnerships the next big thing in NASCAR?
Richard Childress sold a stake in his company to private investors in the wake of Dale Earnhardt's death in 2001. Real estate developer Bobby Ginn has purchased majority ownership of a mid-level team that he wants to turn into a winner. And Ray Evernham actively is looking for a partner of his own.
"I'm certainly keeping an eye on what's going on there," Evernham said. "The Fenway Group can bring more than money to the table. Obviously, Jack just doesn't need money. He has a better understanding of how big the sport's going to get."
Media estimates placed the value of the deal at about $50 million. Roush Racing president Geoff Smith said only, "It's not chump change."
Roush will retain control over the team's competition side. But he also understands the next time he wants to buy an expensive piece of technology to help his race cars go faster, he'll have to justify it to more people than himself.
Of course, the Red Sox did just spend $51.11 million simply for the right to negotiate with Japanese pitcher Daisuke Matsuzaka -- a sign that winning's important to them, too.
"Over three and a half years, Jack and I became friendly, and we just talked about whether or not there was a fit," Henry said. "And over time, it became apparent to both of us that we can really, together, push things further than either could alone."
Henry is no racing novice. He's the co-founder of iracing.com, a company that runs online NASCAR computer simulation games, and he spends hours of his free time playing the games. Henry's so serious about it that he takes offense to the term "playing" -- because it's not a game to him. At one point, he and his friends played four nights a week and even had an awards banquet.
Early in the negotiations, Henry had lunch with Roush and then-Roush driver Jeff Burton. The conversation turned to Lowe's Motor Speedway.
"I said, 'Oh, yeah, I know that track very well,'" Henry said.
But does he know racing well enough to know what he's getting into? It's long been known in the garage area that the only way to make a small fortune in racing is to start with a big one.
That's not quite true anymore. Roush and other NASCAR megateams do make money. But because most of their profits go back into research and development, it's not the best dollars-and-cents investment opportunity in sports.
Henry said the main reason anyone buys a team in any sport is because they love competition.
"You can't buy that investing in something else," Smith said.
Both sides hope to use the partnership to double-team corporate America in pursuit of additional sponsorship.
Fenway Sports Group president Mike Dee said when both sides combine their rolodexes, "there shouldn't be a CEO's office that we can't eventually walk into."
Henry said the deal also allows them to explore business opportunities outside of baseball's restrictive revenue-sharing agreements.
"We reached a point in baseball where there's only so much we can do," Henry said. "Fenway Park is small. We've sold out every sign."
In turn, the Fenway group hopes to bring the Roush brand to New England sports fans who haven't been exposed to NASCAR.
Most important, both sides say the fit is just right. A telling sign: Both owners' favorite accessory is a straw hat, and both were wearing them at the racetrack Wednesday.
"You can see we are compatible in some respects," Roush said.

Aug. 7, 2001 -- "My doctor says to walk as much as possible," Lorraine Ricci of Tampa, Fla., tells WebMD. "You have to keep your body moving all the time -- that makes me feel a lot better."
This spry grandmother is 78 years young, and has taken her doctor's advice to heart -- thereby helping not only her heart, but her weight, blood pressure, cholesterol, and mental attitude in the process. She walks briskly for a mile and a half every day, outside whenever possible, or in the mall or in front of a walking video otherwise. Studies show that regular exercise cuts risk of heart disease, diabetes, osteoporosis, and even death.
But not all people get such good medical advice, and many wish their doctor would talk to them more about exercise. While wanting to keep fit, they may be afraid of injury or heart strain, and need to know the best way to get started.
According to a study in the Aug. 8 issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association, men and women whose doctors gave them advice about physical activity had better fitness levels over a two-year period. The addition of telephone and email reminders to stick to a fitness plan, group classes, and suggestions for adopting a more active lifestyle improved heart and lung conditioning in women even further, but these techniques didn't work for the men.
"Most people know they need to exercise, but have a hard time doing it because they're too busy, too tired, or just not used to it," researcher Denise C. Simons-Morton, MD, PhD, tells WebMD. "Having a specific plan helps both sexes."
To improve heart health, you need at least 30 minutes of moderate activity, like brisk walking, at least five days weekly, says Simons-Morton, deputy director of Clinical Application and Prevention at the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute in Bethesda, Md. For a vigorous activity like running, three times weekly may suffice.
She recommends using a calendar to schedule regular fitness activities like taking a hike or going to the gym, setting specific goals, and getting a step counter to keep track of how you're doing. Having others support your fitness goals helps, whether it's an exercise buddy, your spouse, or your doctor giving you regular pep talks.

I came home from a family reunion this summer with a suitcase full of old photos to be scanned. So glad my aunt kept them all! Not so glad about the amount of work involved in scanning and restoring them. Here are a few tips I learned along the way.
This is one of those times when you need Photoshop Elements rather than Lightroom.
First off, you should know that while I did scan each and every photo for archival purposes, I am not going to edit each and every one. The photos I've chosen for this example display a wide range a issues that need fixing, so that you can see what I'm doing to update my favorites.
- Step 1: Scan the photos and transfer them to your computer. This is going to vary from computer to computer, so I can't help much with this part. On my Mac, I use Image Capture to scan. Image Capture does allow for some editing to be applied to the scan (Add Contrast, Remove Dust, etc.), but I'm a control freak. I'd rather do these things myself.
- I scanned multiple photos at a timeand ended up with files that look like this. Yes, those are old photos of me. And no, I'm not really a duck hunter!
- Step 3: Use Photoshop Elements' Divide Scanned Photos feature, which you access from the Image menu. This will create a new file for each photo in the original scan file. (See below for what to do if this feature doesn't work well.)
- Now for editing. To crop and straighten the photo, I go to the Image Menu/Rotate/Straighten and Crop. Elements does a good job here.
- Next step – remove the wrinkle. I used a combination of Spot Healing, Cloning and a Color Blend Mode Brush here.
- Finally, I use Levels to brighten, add contrast, and remove the warm aged tone. You can see my brightness and contrast adjustment in the Adjustment panel below. To correct the white balance, I moved the middle red slider to .87, green to 1.18 and blue to 1.30.
- Ok, so that's the first image. The 2nd image looks like this:
- Rotate it by going to the Image menu/Rotate and selecting 90 Left.
- After rotating, all this image needs in the way of editing is a quick trip through Levels for Contrast and White Balance correction.
- Next up, this photo needs to be rotated to the right. I removed the orange date at the bottom with one quick stroke of the Spot Healing Brush with content aware. And I finished by adding a Levels Layer for contrast.
- Note: Divide Scanned Photos doesn't always work. The images below were stuck to an album page. It would have ruined them to try to tear them off. Divide Scanned Photos doesn't work here because some of the photos overlap each other, and because there is not enough contrast between the album page and the photos themselves. This feature works best if you have a bright white background, like you'd have when you scan individual photos on a scanner.
- To divide these photos, use your marquee tool to drag a square or rectangle around one photo. Go to Edit/Copy to copy the photo inside the marquee, and then paste into a new file. Repeat for each photo in the scan.
The only thing this tutorial for dividing and editing scanned photos in Photoshop Elements doesn't include is how to make time to do this. If you can help me with that, I'd appreciate it!

Andrea Thomas Says :
Can you share what resolution you used to scan your photos? Thank you!
Thanks for your tutorial, as always great! When my mom passed I did this for over 800 photos. And No, i did not edit each one. Another time challenge I had was in naming each .jpg file.
I managed to at least save them in individual folders – I need way more time to organize in a usable manner!
Barbara Romano
Very helpful tutorial, especially in light of a similar experience I had this past August while scanning numerous photos that my sisters and I found at my mom's house. We discovered a treasure trove of memories, and I wanted to do the pictures justice when scanning them for my sisters. I will use your tips to increase the value of our pictures. Thank you!
cathy @ ma vie trouvee Says :
I should have sent this thank you many months ago….Your tips are so helpful. THANK YOU for being so generous with your time and tips!
Katy Says :
Thanks for the tutorial. I am amazed at how simple your edits are but how great they make the photos look. I also learned something new. I did not know about scanning a bunch of photos at one time and then having Elements divide them. I have always used the marquee tool to divide. You saved me a bunch of time with this tip. Sorry I can't return the favor.
Thank you for a fantastic tutorial on how to repair old scanned photos.
Can't wait to try your lesson….

Thank you for this article. I love learning new tricks in PSE. The Divide Scanned Photos tip is great! My mom gave me several old photo albums to scan. I have been putting it off knowing it will be a real chore! This tip will save me a lot of time! Thanks!!!
This post was very timely for me as I am in the process of scanning a bunch of old photos too! Luckily my scanner will automatically divide the photos into individual files when I scan a bunch at once.
I wish the clone and spot healing worked better in Lightroom so I didn't have to edit so many photos in Elements! My computer has a rough time having Lightroom and Elements both open at once so I have to go from editing in Lightroom to Elements and then close Lightroom while I'm in Elements.

I should have sent this thank you many months ago….Your tips are so helpful. THANK YOU for being so generous with your time and tips!
I'm in the preparation stage of scanning nearly 1,000 photos. What is the best scanner I could buy in terms of picture quality and cost? Should the scanner be specifically for photos, or can I get a scanner/printer that would also allow me to scan and print items that are not photos? Thanks for any input.
Thank you for your very helpful information on dividing scanned photos not separated.
I have done thousands of old family photos now, over an 8 year period. The best way to set up for "divide and straighten" is to take the pictures out of their album and put on the scanner with a little bit of space between them so the program can find the edges of each photo. Since I had so many photos to do, I invested in a used vintage Large Format flatbed scanner, Epson GT-10000, that lets me get 16-20 photos in one scan batch (my siblings helped with the cost). It will even let me feed the photos automatically one at a time, but the pictures typically were too bent and created feed problems. It was faster to just batch scan, divide and straighten. Once the photos were scanned, divided and renamed, I imported them into Adobe Lightroom for better organization plus it has pretty good BASIC repair tools. I now just use Elements for "doctoring up" photos that really need some work done on them. It is A LOT of work, but worth it. I make up photo albums tailored to the individual I am sending them to. My new project now is working on all the movies I had transferred from 8mm to digital. The 8mm tapes were nearly spoiled and saved just in time, even though they had been kept in their "tin cans" for years. I have been finding songs in iTunes to use as background audio for events, i.e., Easter, Christmas, Beach, dances, birthdays, etc., since the movies were shot silent. What we have to do to preserve all the history that was memorialized on decaying media is overwhelming sometimes. Side note: As a little background, what got me into the photo scanning was, my aging mother's house burned to the ground. All was lost except for about half the photo albums my brother managed to get out through a window during the fire. We lost all the very old black & whites which was really sad. So I encourage all of you to get your pictures digitized and in multiple safe places before something bad happens and everything is lost. Good luck to all of you baby boomers.
Hi Kat, if you have a suitcase full of photos (or, worse, a load of old, fragile photos stuck in albums), try using a handheld scanner or an app like Pic Scanner (for iPhone and iPad devices) Really fast, good quality scans, and you don't have to take out and put back photos in albums. Also no need to worry about bent photos, feed problems etc. Pic Scanner costs only three dollars, handheld scanners $70-120. Even if you scan 60-70% of the photos this way and the rest with the trusted flatbed, you will save a great deal of time and effort.

April 15 was the deadline for residents of New York to register so-called "assault weapons" that they owned before the passage of the state's SAFE Act gun control law. But on the day of the deadline, pro-Second Amendment advocates, in an act of protest, gathered in downtown Buffalo to shred gun registration forms.
The state of California is working to ban individuals from serving as judges if they are affiliated with the Boy Scouts of America because of the Scouts' policy of prohibiting homosexual troop leaders. The move, though it has major legal implications, comes from the California Supreme Court Advisory Committee on the Code of Judicial Ethics. Various organizations are warning that such a decision could create a slippery slope by telling judges how they must think in order to serve on the judiciary.
Two separate bills are working their way through the two houses of the Missouri state legislature, both of which are aimed at protecting citizens of the Show Me State from the impending federal gun grab.

Nebraska has been looking for a consistently strong defense the last three years. Well, the Cornhuskers finally may have one. In fact, Nebraska may have one of the best defenses in the Big Ten this fall. The unit has teased in recent years while also suffering some big meltdowns.

One of the most-talked-about topics at this year's Big Ten media days was the addition of conference newcomers Maryland and Rutgers. I asked several Big Ten coaches and players about the new division realignment and the choice to add Maryland and Rutgers into the conference.
It's no secret that the Big Ten lost a lot of talented receivers. Just how much, you ask?

Kirk Ferentz isn't one to get lost in hyperbole. Grand statements? Bold proclamations? They won't come from the dean of Big Ten coaches who is entering his 16th season in Iowa City. So, don't expect him to tout and embrace any talk of his team winning the Big Ten West this fall.
At 9 p.m. ET tonight, BTN/BTN2Go airs the premiere of The Opening Kickoff: The Tumultuous Birth of a Football Nation. The show's title comes from a new book written by BTN lead studio host Dave Revsine, who spent the majority of his free time over the last four years poring through microfilm and university archives and conducting original research on football's early days to put the issues the sport faces today in context.
