Exclusive: U.S. Military Wants Japanese Robot Exoskeletons

Cyberdyne's exoskeleton was fully operation at a press event at CES 2011 on Friday morning.
The skeleton's balance is controlled by complex algorithms, which identify and adjust for the "driver's" center of mass.
HAL suit could see action on and off the battlefield
At the
2011 Consumer Electronics Show
this morning, an array of Japanese companies showed off a bold vision of the future. Among them was Cyberdyne Inc.,
makers of the HAL
(hybrid assistive limb) robotic exoskeleton.
According to Cyberdyne, there are currently 160 HAL suits
deployed in Japan
. Most are deployed in hospitals, helping the elderly and partially paralyzed to walk again.
Kenichi Ichihara, mayor of Tsukaba City, Japan, states, "The technology you see with HAL has a lot of meaning for us, as Japan is rapidly aging. We are the most rapidly aging country in the world."
Tsukaba City, located northeast of Tokyo, is heralded as the robotics capital of Japan. The HAL suit is one of its star products.
According to Takatoshi Kuno, Cyberdyne's sales division manager, the legs part of the suit only weighs 10 kg (~22 kg) and is essentially self-supporting. It is capable of walking at speeds of up to 6 km/hr (~3.7 mph) and has a battery life of 1.5 hours. The suit taps into nerve impulses to create a natural brain-commanded walking motion. The suit uses high-strength stepper servomotors and uses computer hardware to maintain balance when standing, walking, or climbing with the suit.
Perhaps the most intriguing detail shared with us was Mr. Kuno's statement that the U.S. government had contacted the company and expressed interest in purchasing HAL suits. He said the military primarily was hoping to use the suits in a medical capacity (e.g. for rehabilitating or providing increased mobility to injured soldiers).
Mr. Kuno wouldn't comment on the possibility of weaponization of the suit, which thus far has been used primarily for peaceful medical purchases. A couple of U.S. firms, including
Raytheon and Lockheed Martin
have been contracted by the U.S. government to produce exoskeleton prototypes.
While the possibility of carrying heavy weaponry or shielding of some type (e.g. shatter-proof glass, metal, etc.) in-battle has not been mentioned by these contractors, it surely is under consideration. These contractors have explicitly mentioned battlefield deployment, though, for purposes such as carrying munitions.
Since their products are attached to humans, Cyberdyne and its affiliates are very cognizant of risks and safety. States Mayor Ichihara, "Safety is very important. We can't have accidents or mistakes."
"We don't know how to make a $500 computer that's not a piece of junk." -- Apple CEO Steve Jobs

In his first public appearance since he was granted sole custody of his two sons with Britney Spears earlier this month, Kevin Federline hit the links Tuesday.
Asked how he is doing these days, the single dad told PEOPLE: "Been having a good summer, I can't complain."
Federline, 30, who spoke to PEOPLE at skateboarder Ryan Sheckler's X Games Celebrity Skins Classic, outside L.A., said he's been balancing career and parenting. "I've worked here and there a little bit," he said. "Definitely staying at home with the family." As for how sons Jayden, 1 1/2, and Preston, 2 1/2, are doing, Federline said, "They're good."
He was tight-lipped, however, when it came to Spears or how he's moved on from their court battle. A July 18 agreement ended the nearly two-year case, with Federline retaining sole custody of the boys, and his spousal support being bumped up to $20,000 from $15,000. "I'm not here to talk about that," he said.
Federline, who played the Trump National Golf Club course with a friend, wore baggy shorts and sneakers, smoked cigarettes off the golf course, drank iced coffee, and drove his own golf cart. He took practice shots on the driving range before the game, but both of his shots on the Hole in One competition missed. "I tried to warm up before I got here, but..." Federline laughed. "It's going to be one of those up-and-down days. We'll have to see how it goes."
He also said on the red carpet, with a smile, that his children know when their father is at play. "They know when daddy's golfing," he said.
Federline was mum about his future work plans. His last rap CD, Playing with Fire, came out in 2006. The musician said he's still a hip-hop fan. "I don't know, I'm going to make everybody wait on that," Federline said. "I'm not revealing any work strategy right now."

Of course he can't complain. He doesn't have to do anything except wait for Britney's check to arrive each month.

Sign up for our weekly email * Microsoft has reported fall in fourth-quarter earnings primarily due to rise in marketing and sales costs and the weak penetration of its Windows 8 operating system in the PC market. Net income fell by 4 per cent to $6.4bn, while pro-forma earnings per share fell to 81 cents, a year-over-year decline of 3 cents. The company's Windows PC division posted an underlying 11 per cent increase in revenues for the fourth-quarter, while business division sales declined. Meanwhile, Windows sales grew by 24 per cent to $5.88bn. "We all collectively learnt a lot, there are a lot of things we're working on with our partners," Peter Klein, chief financial officer of Microsoft, said of the reception to new Windows 8 machines. "The adjustments were meant to ensure that consumers were being offered "the right mix of devices" with "more varied price points", Klein added. The emergence of new hybrid machines that feature benefits of both PC and tablets in the market has slowed down adoption of Windows 8 operating system. Microsoft, which did not reveal sales numbers of its much hyped Surface, is planning to launch a second version in February 2012. In addition, the company hinted to reduce prices of its upcoming Windows PCs and tablets. Shares of the company fell by 2 per cent in after-market trading. Subscribe from just £1 per issue More

Head coach Mike Bradbury picked up his 100th career win and 50th at WSU Thursday night as the Wright State women's basketball team pulled away late for a 59-51 Horizon League victory at WSU's Nutter Center.
The two teams were tied five times in the first half, the final being at 16 following a Katie Hannemann layup with 4:48 remaining. From there, though, Ivory James took over for the Raiders as she scored six straight points and tallied all 13 of Wright State's points the rest of the period to make it 29-24 at the break.
Both teams struggled from the field in the opening 20 minutes as UIC shot 33 percent while WSU was at 31 percent.
Wright State led by six early in the second half and by four at 46-42 with 8:13 to play, only to see the Flames answer with five unanswered points to go up one with 5:35 remaining.
Two Breanna Stucke foul shots at the 4:18 mark, though, gave the Raiders the lead for good and after the sophomore forward connected on a three, Tayler Stanton capped off the 7-0 burst with two foul shots to make it 53-47 with 2:33 left.
UIC would get no closer than four the rest of the way as WSU hit six foul shots down the stretch to seal the victory.
The win was the 100th in the six-year head coaching career of Bradbury (100-79) and the 50th in his third season at Wright State (50-35).
Wright State hit just seven of 28 shots in the second half to finish at 28 percent overall while UIC shot 29 percent the final 20 minutes to end up at 31 percent. The Raiders, though, were 23 of 40 at the foul line, 14 of 27 in the second half, compared to just seven of 12 for the game for the Flames.
James led all scorers with 19 off the bench for WSU, 15 in the first half, while Stucke posted her second career double-double of 11 points and a career-tying 11 rebounds. Kim Demmings had a near double-double of 10 points and nine boards while Stanton had six points and 12 rebounds and KC Elkins six points, a career-high 11 rebounds and five assists.
Rachel Story paced UIC (6-11, 2-2 Horizon) with 14 points while Hannemann had a near double-double of 11 points and nine rebounds.
Wright State (9-9, 3-2 Horizon) has the weekend off before hosting Horizon League leader Green Bay Monday at 7:00.

Long term complications of diabetes
Diabetes makes your blood sugar higher than normal. After many years, too much sugar in the blood can cause problems in your body. It can harm your eyes, kidneys, nerves, skin, heart, and blood vessels.
- You could have eye problems. You could have trouble seeing, especially at night. Light could bother your eyes. You could become blind.
- Your feet and skin can develop sores and infections. If it goes on too long, your foot or leg may need to be removed. Infection can also cause pain and itching in other areas.
- Diabetes may make it harder to control your blood pressure and cholesterol. This can lead to heart attack, stroke, and other problems. It can become harder for blood to flow to the legs and feet.
- Nerves in the body can become damaged, causing pain, tingling, and loss of feeling. Nerve damage can also make it harder for men to have an erection.
- You could have problems digesting the food you eat. You could feel weakness or have trouble going to the bathroom. Nerve damage can also make it harder for men to have an erection.
- High blood sugar and other problems can lead to kidney damage. The kidneysmight not work as well and may even stop working such that you might need dialysis or a kidney transplant.
Take Control of Your Diabetes
It is important to keep your blood sugar, blood pressure, and cholesterol in a healthy range. You should learn the basic steps for managing diabetes and staying as healthy as possible. Steps include a healthy diet, exercise, and sometimes medicines. You may need to check your blood sugar daily or more often. Your doctor will also help you byordering blood tests and other tests. All these may help you keep complications of diabetes away.
You will need to check your blood sugar level to see how you are doing.
- You will use a special device called a glucometer to test your blood sugar. Your doctor will let you know if you need to check it every day and how many timeseach day.
- Your doctor will also tell you what blood sugar numbers you are trying to achieve.This is calledmanaging your blood sugar. These goals will be set for different times during the day.
To prevent heart disease and stroke, you may be asked to take medicine and change how you live:
- Your doctor may ask you to take a medicine called an ACE inhibitor or a different medicine called an ARB, for high blood pressure or kidney problems.
- Your doctor may ask you to take a medicine called a statin to keep your cholesterol down.
- Your doctor may ask you to take aspirin to prevent heart attacks. Ask your doctor if aspirin is right for you.
- Regular exercise is good for people with diabetes. Talk to your doctor first about what exercises are best for you and how much you need.
- Do notsmoke. Smoking makes diabetes complications worse. If you do smoke, work with your doctor to find a way to quit.
To keep your feet healthy, you should:
- Check and care for your feet every day.
- Get a foot exam by your doctor at least every 6 - 12 months and learn whether you have nerve damage.
- Make sure you are wearing the right kinds of socksandshoes.
A nurse or dietician will teach you about good food choices to lower your blood sugar and stay healthy. Make sure you know how to put together a balanced meal with protein and fiber. Try to eat at the same times each day.
See Your Doctor Often
If you have diabetes, you should see your health care providers every 3 months. At these visits your health care provider may:
- Ask about your blood sugar level
- Check your blood pressure
- Check the feeling in your feet
- Check the skin and bones of your feet and legs
- Examine the back part of your eyes
The health care provider may also send you to the laboratory for blood and urine tests to:
- Make sure your kidneys are working well (every year)
- Make sure your cholesterol and triglyceride levels are healthy (every year)
- Check your A1C level to see how well your blood sugar is controlled (every 3 - 6 months)
Visit the dentist every 6 months. You should see your eye doctor oncea year. Your health care provider may ask you to see your eye doctor more often.

Kelvin Jeter, the 2009 South Atlantic Conference Offensive Freshman of the Year, was selected as a Second Team running back, while Andrew Velazquez joins him on the offensive line.
Defensively, Rufus Jenkins returns after a season which saw the then-sophomore outside linebacker finish second in the conference with 14.0 tackles for loss. The rising junior was selected to the Second Team defense, while Marvin Lawson joins his teammate on the defensive line.
Tusculum had three players named to the preseason All-SAC First Team and a league-high six earn spots on the Second Team as the Pioneers led the conference with nine members selected to the Preseason All-Conference team.
Headlining Tusculum's All-SAC selections was first-team quarterback Bo Cordell, who returns this season after missing most of 2011 with a foot injury. Cordell, the 2010 SAC Offensive Player of the Year, enters 2012 seventh on both the SAC's all-time passing yards and total offensive yards list.
After earning a share of the SAC title last season, Mars Hill heads into 2012 with eight preseason All-SAC selections, including five on the First Team. The Lions were picked second in the SAC preseason coaches' poll.
Defensive lineman Troy Harris, who was a 2011 All-American after recording nine sacks, leads MHC's first-team selections.
Carson-Newman also had eight players selected to the preseason All-SAC team, including first-teamers Tyron Douglas (running back), Alex Taylor (offensive lineman) and Kevin Day (offensive lineman).
Douglas averaged 6.6 yards-per-carry last season for the Eagles and scored 12 touchdowns.
Catawba, Newberry and Wingate all had seven players named to the preseason All-SAC Team.
Of Newberry's selections, four were named to the First Team, including 2011 All-America linebacker Apollo Stretch, who led the SAC by averaging 10.5 tackles per game last season.
Catawba and Wingate, meanwhile, both had three preseason All-SAC First Team picks. Leading Wingate's selections is preseason All-America wide receiver Chris Bowden, who is coming off a 2011 season in which he hauled in 76 receptions for 1,064 yards and nine touchdowns.
All three of Catawba's first-team players are on the defensive side, led by the SAC's fourth-leading tackler from last season, linebacker Rudy Cabral.
Lenoir-Rhyne, which was voted No. 1 in the SAC preseason coaches' poll after splitting last year's conference title with Mars Hill, placed six on the All-SAC Team, including five first-teamers.
Three of L-R's first-team picks – linebacker Demetrius Green, defensive back Michael Green and defensive lineman Brandon Martin – have also been named preseason All-Americans.
The preseason All-SAC Team is voted on by the league's media relations directors.

This is the jacket that provides warmth in temperatures as cold as 10� F without the restrictive bulk of a heavier parka. The jacket owes its exceptional warmth to its unique construction; a double layer of fleece bonded with a polyurethane layer that retains the body's heat while blocking wind, water, and snow. It allows the body's moisture to escape, keeping skin dry and warm for optimal comfort. Its lightweight construction also permits nimble movements that are otherwise impossible while wearing a heavy parka, ideal for recreating or working in cold weather. Both sleeves unzip to provide use as a vest. Three zippered pockets, two at the waist and one at the chest, secure valuables. The elastic cuffs, drawstring waist, and high collar lock out the cold for complete comfort. Gray. Sizes S (34-36) or M (38-40). (3 lbs.)

Best coat ever!
By Dee the nurse
from Washington
This is the best jacket! It looks great and has a high collar that zips up to your chin; therefore, it blocks the wind and cold from getting into your neck area and down your back. It is extremely warm and nice looking. I love the deep pockets as well. I have had a chance to try it as a vest yet because it been way too cold.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

With more resources available online to help taxpayers file their returns, the Department has seen traffic to its offices dwindle to only a handful of visitors on April 15, over the past few years.
Some Indiana news organizations erroneously reported this morning that the Department of Revenue would be open past normal business hours today and tomorrow. This is inaccurate.

Girls on the Run of the Bay Area Associate Board
Thursday, February 7, 2013 at 6:00 PM (PST)
Event Details
Join us for a fundraising event to raise $5,000 for the launch of Girls on the Run (GOTR) at George R. Moscone Elementary School. When we reach our $5,000 goal, we will be able to provide 16 girls the opportunity to participate in the GOTR program at no cost for the entire 10 week season.
We couldn't think of a better way to celebrate than rolling back the clock to the fabulous 90s. This rockin' party will include:
- DJ Razo spinning the hottest hits from the 90s.
- Full bar and free snacks
- Pre-order tickets now and get up to 2 free drink tickets (while supplies last)
- Silent auction including San Francisco Giants tickets, Golden State Warrior tickets, SF Bay Club membership, Jambox, and more.
About George R. Moscone Elementary School
Located in the historic Mission District, George R. Moscone Elementary has a multi-ethnic student body of approximately 330 students, rich in cultural and linguistic diversity. Moscone Elementary services their student body (grades K-5) with programs in Chinese, Spanish and English Language Development. They focus on a rigorous academic program emphasizing language arts, math, science, and social studies, balanced with performing and visual arts. At Moscone, 88% of families' income falls below federal standards, qualifying students to participate in the free and reduced fee lunch program.
About Girls on the Run Bay Area

Girls on the Run of the Bay Area Associate Board
At Girls on the Run of the Bay Area, we believe society is better when there are strong and confident women participating at their full potential.
The concept is simple: instilling a strong sense of fitness and love of running in girls at a young age creates the ability for them to boldly pursue their dreams. Girls on the Run (GOTR) makes this a reality.
Throughout the GOTR program, the girls develop a better understanding of who they are and what is important to them. They discover the importance of teamwork, healthy relationships and have the opportunity to explore how they can positively connect with and shape the world. GOTR Bay Area serves San Francisco, Marin, Alameda, San Mateo, and Contra Costa Counties, touching the lives of over 1,700 girls annually. Nearly 90% of our participants rely on our scholarship program in order to participate, as the cost of an extracurricular activity is frequently unaffordable to them.

How to make time for the couple?
I am really in need of advise here. Bub sleeps in our bed instead of a cot, he sometimes sleeps in the baby carrier and we practice gentle parenting. We love the effects these have provided on him and want to continue to do so. He rarely is by himself and this is causing a bit of strain on our marriage. We want to have alone time but don't really have anyone who can take care of him for us to go out to dinner or to the cinema.
How can we make more time for ourselves or enjoy more the time we have without having him feel like we are abandoning him?
Thanks in advance!

I think its awesome that you are practicing gentle parenting and that you co-sleep. Those are the best choices any parent can make when raising a child.
I truly believe in alone time for mom and dad, getting time alone can be challenging. However with a little imagination it can be done.
I would start of with a close relative or friend, one that understands your parenting style and that respects your choices.
I would also go to the extent of inviting that person over and allow them to spend quality time with your family, so they can see how you interact with you child.
I would also plan an outing maybe during the day time for a shorter lunch date or maybe even a walk in the park with your spouse. Gradually working up to longer times away. At that point after a few times out, your child will become accustomed to the sitter and the transition to getting out will become easier for you and your child.
Plan out your dates and mark them in the calendar....soon you will be enjoying alone time with your spouse.
It will be worth every minute.

Thank you sunnymomof5 for your beautiful and encouraging words. I think that planning it out is exactly what we need! I love your ideas of having the person we choose spend time with our family. My sister in law is the closest person and the only one I trust in a situation like this. Although our friends and other close family do not usually get involved in our parenting choices, I wouldn't think they would be the best people for the job.
I will definitely speak with my husband about this so that we can make it happen. Thanks again!

IL DNR sampling the deer herd again!
Well, the DNR will be back in the woods from now till March some time. They want to shoot about 700 deer or "As many as we can get". Yes that is what they said.
If you look around the country, nearly every place they have started testing for CWD, they have found it. Is it not possible that it has always been there? Suddenly we have to wipe out the entire herd to stop the spread of the disease? Does that make sense? Not to me it doesn't.
I hear that one of the latest CWD deer was taken about 1 mile from where I hunt. I can only imagine the slaughter that is going to take place right near my hunting spot.
I guess I am going to have to take up goose hunting because deer hunting is going to be a waste of time for the next 3-5 years.Chris Christenson - Admin
3DShoots.com - Find Archery Shoots near you
ObsessionArchery.com - Archery Supplies
chris you make a very vallid point honestly i think it is just a way for the dnr to really take controll of the population growth that is such a problem around these states here especially up in notheren wis and min. I think i was complaining about the same thing in another post about cwd LOL. but i do agree with you on this just seems rediculous how now all of a sudden every state seems to have this illness or says they do. Our hunting season up here in certain areas in wis is from mid oct to the first week of jan and that screws up all the other hunting along that time period. and if you own farm land then you can apply for a land owner permit and extend it till march too much in my opinion.

Cwd DEER?...and from what.
I know that they(DNR) will never...EVER do another CWD survey on my or my neighbors hunting property....
They said they only took 5-7 deer for testing and then we got a letter that said they shot 15.
No CWD....here....
and only less than 10 miles away from 2 different "infested"areas,including the number 1 most.
I can reasure you that the property owner can refuse this testing,and after what I know now.I would recommend it as well.
I would say that through all the harvesting done,that it would be wise to say that the co.parks is where they should be doing the sharpshooting.
If they won't let me you or anyone else but the handicapped(if that) hunt there...Let them Shoot them...and test em' there.
I eat deer all the time,sure.
I don't hunt deer just for the meat,by all means spend more on archery a year to pay for 2 full angus cattle.
I don't waste my time anymore thinking or wishing there are better alternatives to elminate or irradicate the deer population either.
They(Co.board) voted 4 to 5 in the best interest of the public and what they may think is right fo hunting the CO.parks.
To my recollection they haven't even considered building a park or refuge for any wildlife over the last 20 years compared to what they have destroyed or developed.Best interest for whom?
As a matter of fact,the reason why cwd is derived in even there(DNR's) interepretation is from feeding the deer,and contact from other deers saliva.
If there are a overpopulation in the parks we do have presently and thats where the cwd is mostly....well? you can rest assure the DNR will take care of it themselves.They surely FEED THEM WITH BAIT>>>to shoot them,right?*&^%$#!?
People like me will soon understand what cwd does to mankind,they surely know what it does to the deer.
Or do they?

I hunt in 1 of 2 conservation districts in Boone county IL. One of the conservation districts here has made testing of harvested deer mandatory threatening the banning of any noncompliant hunters access to the land in the future.
Maybe they should come out with CWD home test kits and preaddressed stamped envelopes to send the results in.
sorry I read your post and all I heard was "shoot as many DNR agents as possible as they are spreading CWD"No I'm not dead

Since you go to ME each summer, pay attention to the tides when you're up there as they're not the same as the breaks you regularly visit.
Now get off your iPad or laptop and focus on your teacher's lecture. Or go BS with grommet 2.0
probably one of the last places on the East Coast to be explored to its full potential. i've heard stories from guys that worked on lobster boats of full-on reef setups that fire, but very very fickle. go check it out and keep the good news to yourself.
Southern, ME in normal conditions is pretty mello. Lots of beach breaks south of Portland. In the late spring, summer and early fall the breaks will be crowded on weekends, but probably not as crowded as points further south. Once mid-October rolls around the crowds disappear. On an awesome day in winter you might have four other people in with you.
When I first started living and surfing up here I immediately noticed you get much longer rides on small days when compared to the Outer Banks (my only other point of reference). I don't know the science, but I believe it's a continental shelf thing? Anyway, the beaches are very gradual so you rarely see shore break when it's knee high +. A longboard is a must-have, but I suppose that's true anywhere.
So where ya moving to?
I'm curious, in general is the tide differential greater the farther north you go from the equator?
I don't think the tide differential is necessarily due to latitude. I read somewhere that because of it's proximity to the continental shelf and the Georgia bight or bend in the coastline, that Georgia has some of the biggest tide differentials on the east coast next to Maine.

Delayed vaccination scheme
One of my friends' husbands does not believe in vaccinations. She has managed to convince him to go along with vaccinating their children by using a delayed vaccination scheme (I think that's what it's called). It means that the babies get vaccinations one at a time rather than 3 injections in one day. Does anyone know if the delayed scheme is better for babies? I feel like their little systems are so bombarded when they are all administered together!

Yes there is evidence that this causes less side effects and less severe side effects at that. This is a major advantage of spacing the vaccination schedule and having single vaccinations.
The only real downsides to a delayed vaccination scheme (or schedule) are that you have to take your child for more vaccination visits to the nurse/doctor (this is a really minor disadvantage in my opinion) and a consideration of the chance they could catch a particular disease in the period that you are delaying the vaccines. However, in relation to the later disadvantage, the child does not normally have the latest single vaccine a huge amount of time later but it also depends on the incidence of the disease in the particular area in which you live.
Best wishes,

It does sound like there are great benefits to delayed vaccination, more than I realised. I'm going to look into it for both my babies when we have our next check up. My eldest has always reacted badly, lots of crying and fever but my youngest is really relaxed and only cries for a minute and then you'd never know it had been done. Thanks for the book recommendation too, I will pass it on to my friend as well.

You've heard of Kilobyte, Megabyte, and Gigabyte. You've likely heard of Terabyte. But do you know the future sizes of file storage?
A byte is a single unit of measure in computing, capable of storing one character. A kilobyte (KB) is comprised of 1,024 bytes. (Bytes are measured by a binary system, not a decimal system, so the numbers are not "even".) Then, similar to the metric system, you go up in measure:
1 megabyte (MB) = 1,024 KB
1 gigabyte (GB) = 1,024 MB
1 terabyte (TB) = 1,024 GB
Currently, terabyte drives are as large as they get. In fact, just this year, they have released a 6 TB hard drive, so that's pretty large. That's 6,144 GB of storage!
But they do have the names of the future storage amounts that may be available in the future.
1 petabyte (PB) = 1,024 TB
1 exabyte (EB) = 1,024 PB
1 zettabyte (ZB) = 1,024 EB
1 yottabyte (YB) = 1,024 ZB
To put that into perspective – A yottabyte is 1,208,925,819,614,629,174,706,176 bytes. That's 1 septillion, if you were wondering (had to look that one up, too)!
Will we see yottabyte storage in the future? Probably not likely in any near future, but then again, not all that long ago, tech people were saying a few hundred megabytes of storage was all we'd need!

For anyone who doesn't know about this, this program uses a modified algorithm to crack a 104bit wep key with only 40,000 packets!! I was able to crack mine (which usually needs about 2,000,000 packets with only 60,000)
Check it out here:
you can download it here:
On a note, if anyone has problems doing a MAKE. You need to open up the Makefile and move the "-lpcap" switch to the end of the gcc line. Also, you may need to install the newest libpcap package.
Make sure you read the website. You need to capture using Airodump WITHOUT the --ivs option!

Separate names with a comma.
Universal Fit item created by , May 5, 2010
Pros - Detail, comfort, isolation, clarity, soundstage
Cons - Too sensitive, light bass
PROS: The detail of this iem is fairly impressive, with its strong points being the treble. They are very clear and detailed and may even seem sparkly. The bass is fast and detailed. The sleeves are very comfortable provided that you get a good fit, and these can easily be worn for long durations. They offer excellent noise isolation to the environment, and oftentimes one may turn their music volume down due to the strong isolation. The soundstage it provides is large and goes all the way around the head in all directions.
When mixed with a natural sounding mp3 player (such as the Fuze), the user may experience sounds in their music being mixed with the real sound outside.
CONS: These headphones are very sensitive. So sensitive, that if the source has noise in it it will capture it and output the noise at audible levels. On my xperia x10, these players output a decent amount of background noise, at whispering volumes. These also suffer from an insufficient amount of bass, even to non bass heads. The bass is certainly there, but may be inadequate to many.
In the end, I'd consider these headphones a great buy, even with their minor problems.

sostentado you didnt say which one you like and why!
Only skid stains need all of those raggedy tools anyhow. was the way it was phrased. I guesse us beginners are the skidstains. The tools were raggedy!
I was only trying to help someone in the beginers section. I guesse wep is a bad word. lol
sostentado you didnt say which one you like and why!
beginners aren't skid stains its really a comment towards some users of backtrack who do not know how the tools work and don't want to, they just want point and click tools and aren't certified pentesters. But when you use those tools you don't learn anything.
as far as the topic at hand goes, better install bt5, the devs here will patch any problems with it after release, and bt4r2 will become unsupported and speaking of it will be verboten here.
Wielder of the spoon of doom
Summercon, Toorcon, Defcon, Bsides, Derbycon, Shmoocon oh my
Come hang out with hackers on twitter @gunrunr556
It's BT4. I'm not a certified pentester nor quote"e point-click user, but i found bt4 a lot easier to use that as of bt5. Of course bt5 has more patches than previous versions, but it also have some technical errors that bt4 doesn't have. Ettercap-ng in bt5 can't capture passwords even you've done prerequisites procedures before proceeding to poisoning (which is, ettercap is very useful for MITM). That's one example.
First: Why sslstrip+ettercap don't work normal in BT5?
but in BT4 ,ettercap could sniff passwords and display them.
Second: BT5 need much more disk space than BT4,it would be better if it smaller than now.I hope I could install BT5 in 4GB USB DRIVER in the future.
Define "better"....
- Smaller
- More skriddie friendly
- Faster
- More diverse HW support
- More OS/interface options
- More software
- Less software
- Actively supported
- etc
"Better" means so many different things to so many different people...
http://www.backtrack-linux.org/forum...4-support.html Thread.
I'm a compulsive post editor, you might wanna wait until my post has been online for 5-10 mins before quoting it as it will likely change.
I know I seem harsh in some of my replies. SORRY! But if you're doing something illegal or posting something that seems to be obvious BS I'm going to call you on it.
I'd say BT5 has potential to be better than BT4, if (hopefully) the developers fix some of the current issues. For me a big improvement is that my graphics card now actually works in the resolution it's supposed to, I couldn't use BT4 because even the terminal looked very ugly because my monitor had the wrong resolution.
BT4 is already proven, bugs fixed and almost 100% running like a charm..BT5 is under test..Has lots of troubles..Will be fixed, but off course, BT5 is based in FS etx4, is much faster than ext3 and supposly more secure...Remeber something, your are using programs that you can download and install in your OS whether is Linux debian, ubuntu or any Red Hat distribution...Per say, perhaps those programs can run fine in Ubuntu 9.04 but can have some problems in Karmic..
So you have to tune-up the app (sslstrip, ettercap, msf, etc..)
If I were you, I'd download a stable, final release of BT, in this case, BT4 final...I found some strange things in BT4 r2....And BT5, well, at this point, just read the forum posts..

SolarWorld: A Great Place to Work
SolarWorld is thus again among the outstanding employers in Germany where employees "trust the people they work for, are proud of what they do and enjoy working with others".
"The employees are the most important assets of a company", says Chairman and CEO Dr. Ing. h. c. Frank Asbeck. "Their happiness is close to my heart because only employees who come to work happy and who feel well looked after will lastingly and vigorously dedicate themselves to realizing our corporate objectives. I am therefore delighted that the employees view their company as one of the best employers in the country".
The study primarily provides an insight into the corporate culture of the participating companies.
As the culture of a company cannot be ascertained by hard and fast facts and figures like profit and loss numbers the study is based on a culture audit, on documents submitted and on an employee survey.
In assessing the companies particular importance was attached to the employee survey.
To this end questions on the five dimensions of the concept underlying the study – credibility, respect, fairness, pride and team orientation – were answered by the SolarWorld employees in an anonymous online questionnaire. All in all 90% of the employees who took part said that SolarWorld AG offeres very good jobs.
Here is an insight into the way the employees judged their company:
In the section on "Credibility" 83% of the respondents emphasized that they were given a lot of responsibility at SolarWorld. "Respect" in dealing with employees was also given great emphasis at SolarWorld. Thus, occupational safety for example attracted the very good score of 93%. More than 80% of the staff were convinced that they can contribute their skills in an optimum way and praised the positive environment for psychological and emotional well-being. The employees confirmed that their company had a special brand of "fairness", for example in the fair treatment of both sexes (95%). The SolarWorld employees were also "proud" of their company: 93% like telling their friends and acquaintances that they work for SolarWorld AG. Also more than 90% of the staff were proud of what is being achieved together and are very happy with the way in which SolarWorld makes a contribution to society. In the fifth dimension – team orientation – SolarWorld also received very good marks from its employees: 94% felt that they were being made very welcome as new employees. More than 88% said it was fun working at SolarWorld and 80% of the employees felt like in a family at SolarWorld and/or sensed a very good team spirit.

Geek Girl: Release the Kraken on the Cast of The Princess Bride!
Krakens, The Princess Bride, Nicholas Cage, sexy new laptops, falling satellites, and more in this week's edition of Geek Girl!
-Lucia Peters and PJ Gach
You guys. The kraken might be real. No, seriously. It might actually have been a real thing. And right now, it would really like to sit down to tea with a falling satellite, Nicholas Cage, the cast of The Princess Bride 25 years later, a sexy new laptop, and a couple of other choice companions. And would you look at that– it can! Right here in BettyConfidential's Geek Girl column! Won't you join us?
Duck! It's Another Falling Satellite
What are we, Chicken Little? Sure feels like it: Another satellite is going to go splat soon. Mark your calendars, because on October 22nd or 23rd, the German satellite Roentgen (ROSAT) is coming home to earth… in pieces. However, no one's exactly sure where the pieces will land. Good news, most of it will burn on re-entry. Bad news, 1.6 tons of it is still going to hit the planet. We're not sure an umbrella will protect you.
Ghost Rider's Baaaack!
Is this a good or a bad thing? Nicolas Cage returns as Johnny Blaze in Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance (February 2012). Personally, I thought the first one tanked, but what do I know? Not much, obviously. Smart cookie Eva Mendes passed on reprising her role for round two. However, there is some eye candy this time around: Idris Elba and Johnny Whitworth join the ever-excellent Ciarin Hinds. All may not be lost. And there's even a blast from the past- Christopher Lambert, the original Highlander, is in here too. One can only hope he's left his trench coat behind.
During New York Comic Con, there's going to be a panel on it. If I can get to it, I'll report back.
Here's a cast interview:
Asus ZenBook: Seriously Sexy Laptop
This is a sick, sick laptop. It barely weighs two pounds, it's 3mm thick at the front of it, and it has crisp, clear audio courtesy, of the collaboration between Bang & Olufsen ICEpower and the Asus Golden Ear Team.
Did I mention that the moment you lift the lid, it's on? You've got a two second resume time, and the battery can last 14 days. Yeah, I'm in love too. That's their tagline, by the way: "love at first sight." With Intel® second generation Core processors, SATA Revision 3.0 Solid state storage (SSD), Bluetooth™ V4.0 and USB 3.0. You've got a beast that's fast and can handle anything you throw at it.
There, however, are two things about it that I'm not pleased with. First, during the presentation, they used two videos to illustrate the fabulousness of this Zenbook. The first featured a young woman who "was light on her feet": the video shows her more or less dancing through a crowd, and once she comes across the ZenBook it's "love at first sight." The second video had a handsome young man who needed a quick, responsive laptop because he worked a lot and was busy. So, one video showing a woman who, it's implied, likes to have a fast pretty laptop she can surf on, and the second shows a man who needs a fast laptop because he's in business. What's implied is that women don't need or look for a laptop that's fast because they work; they're just in it for the aesthetics. It's only men who are busy. Talk about sexism and archaic archetypes.
The second thing I'm not crazy about is the price. It's $1000. Oh, sure, they throw in a sleeve, power adapter and a USB dongle and Ethernet adapter, but still.
Check out the online presentation here.

A Wildling for Game of Thrones: Downton Abbey's Rose Leslie Is Ygritte
Casting for the second season of the hit HBO series Game of Thrones, based off George R. R. Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire books, kicked off back in May. But though casting announcements came fairly steadily throughout the summer, we couldn't help but notice the conspicuous absence of one particular character: Ygritte, the red-headed Wildling girl who factors so prominent in Jon Snow's (Kit Harrington) story, was nowhere to be seen. But as of this past Monday, Game of Thrones is Ygritte-less no more! Actress Rose Leslie has landed the coveted role. You may recognize Leslie from her turn on the World War I-era period drama Downton Abbey, where she played Gwen, a spitfire of a maid determined to make more of herself. Though both Bonnie Wright and Lily Cole were tossed around as potential Ygrittes, Leslie will no doubt prove herself to be more than up to the task; indeed, if her stellar performance on Downton Abbey is anything to go by, she'll be absolutely perfect. The second season of Game of Thrones is expected to air in April of 2012. And we can't wait!
Release the Kraken, Because It Might Be Real!
We're all familiar with the Kraken, right? That giant sea beast that factored so prominently in the second Pirates of the Caribbean movie? The 100-foot-long creature that Liam Neeson keeps commanding that we release? The one that we all thought was mythological? Well, think again, because paleontologist Mark McMenamin of Mount Holyoke College says that he's discovered proof that the Kraken was real.
Yep: On Monday afternoon at the annual meeting of the Geological Society of America, McMenamin informed attendees that he had found an underwater lair he believed to be the Kraken's. Inside the lair, you see, was a pile of ichthyosaur bones—that is, the bones of that particular era's top marine predator. How had the bones found their way there? Had something larger than an ichthyosaur gotten a couple? And why were the bones piled up in front of the entrance to the den? Was an octopus-style attempt at concealing the lair?
McMenamin hypothesized that a giant kraken either drowned or broke the necks of these ichthyosaurs before hauling them back to his den for a tasty meal. Sounds neat!… though unfortunately, not everyone is convinced. Discovery noted that someone has recently updated McMenamin's Wikipedia page to say, "He has earned the nickname McMinimal from his colleagues due to the perceived poor quality of his research, such as suggesting that Agnostids are cannibals and claiming that the Kraken was a real beast." This addition has since been taken down, but the point, shall we say, is taken. Ah well—at least we can still dream!
The Princess Bride Reunion: 25 Years After "As You Wish"
Have you guys seen this yet? Because if you haven't, you should watch it. Immediately. Because the cast of The Princess Bride (which, I do believe, may be one of the finest movies ever made) recently had a big ol' reunion, and it is wonderful. Want to see Miracle Max (Billy Crystal) talk about the lasting impressions his lines have had on fans? Want to know which president told Westley (Carey Elwes) how much he liked the movie? Want to know what Westley and Buttercup (Robin Wright) thought about their most perfect kiss? Want to know who Vizzini (Wallace Shawn) was worried he would get fired for? Watch! Watch and find out! For it is glorious!

Alleviates pain to some extent
By Humbie
from Medicine Hat, AB. Canada
First time use was disappointing. I have neck arthitis but have always been a side sleeper. Little advantage for pain relief when one sleeps on the sides only.However, a small pillow was provided and that has made it much better. I definitely noticed some improvement when waking up with less headache than I had before. Despite the high price it seems worth it to me.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

The best pillow I ever bought
By fidgety Ann
from Pittsburgh, PA
Follow the Dr.'s instructions use the semi firm side first. My back hurt so badly the next 2 days because my neck and spine were so misaligned. After that the morning pain and stiffness in my neck really decreased. I also like it because I sleep on my side as well and those other neck pillows don't allow you to sleep on your side as well. I love it!!

I sleep on my back so I didn't have much adjustment to the pillow except it's firmer than my regular pillows. I think it will help me stand straighter.
The pillow does relieve neck pain!
By Blackbelt shopper
from Fort Collins, Colorado
For years I have sought a pillow that relieves neck pain. I am a "back sleeper" and I very seldom move during the night. Often I would wake up with neck pain and then a headache as a result of the neck pain. Over the years I have tried numerous pillows to get relief; unfortunately they all fell short until I purchased this "neck pain relieving pillow". It works!!!!

Yes, it's true... you can bounce the little flip up flash on the XE1. The way it pops up seems to lend itself to easily holding it with a finger, pointed at the ceiling... and this is a very welcomed thing. I'm not normally a flash shooter, AT ALL... so I don't even know the best settings for inside flash shots. I just took these quick to show the difference.
NOTE: Sorry about the subject - I didn't have a model that would sit still otherwise. ALSO these are straight out of the camera. If the white balance seems a little "cool" it's because the ceiling in this room is painted a light but stylish shade of teal blue.

Adding wow factor to the evening (July 16), Cameron Diaz stepped onto the stage at the 2014 ESPY Awards.
Joined by "Sex Tape" costar Jason Segel, the blonde beauty flaunted her amazingly fit body in a tight black number with strappy heels. We especially loved her bright pink lipstick!
Taking care of some promotional duties, Cameron Diaz and Jason Segel showed up to screen their new film "Sex Tape" in Manhattan on Monday night (July 14).
The "There's Something About Mary" babe was all smiles as she joined the "How I Met Your Mother" hunk outside Regal Union Square Theatre to greet fans and pose for photos.
It's sure to be one of the hottest date movies of the summer, and last night (July 10) the stars of "Sex Tape" showed up at the Los Angeles premiere.
Jason Segel and Cameron Diaz both looked to be in good spirits as they greeted fans outside the Regency Village Theatre in Westwood ahead of the screening.
Showing some love for their Spanish fans, Cameron Diaz and Jason Segel attended a photocall for their new film "Sex Tap" in Barcelona on Wednesday (June 18).
Also joined by Rob Lowe, the "Forgetting Sarah Marshall" hunk and the "Vanilla Sky" vixen were in good spirits as they posed for photos ahead of the big premiere.
Less than pleased with seeing her son nude on the big screen, Jason Segel's mom cried while watching his 2008 romantic comedy "Forgetting Sarah Marshall."
The "Sex Tape" star told Vanity Fair that his momma had no idea a full-frontal nudity scene was coming, which may have led to her shock and awe.
Releasing a look that's safer for all eyes, Columbia Pictures debuted the Green Band trailer for "Sex Tape" on Wednesday (April 23).
The upcoming flick pairs up "Bad Teacher" co-stars Cameron Diaz and Jason Segel, and it's sure to be a wild ride.
Hoping to alleviate fans' tension with the release of his finale, "How I Met Your Mother" creator, Carter Bays just announced that the complete series DVD will include an alternate ending.
After 9 years of keeping fans happy, "How I Met Your Mother" seems to have upset viewers with its series finale.
On Monday night (March 31) the beloved show ended with a twist when Ted (Josh Radnor) ended up with Robin ( Cobie Smulders) after meeting "Mother" Tracy McConnell, who dies shortly thereafter.

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) -- Newly released records show that an Ohio man who killed his estranged wife and their daughters had been ordered by his employer to take an anger management class after making threats to kill his family.
The records also show that Kevin Allen had blocked incoming calls to his wife and daughter's phones and purchased a machine to block cell phone calls in the days before the April 12 shooting.
The records obtained by The Associated Press Wednesday also show that Allen told his family at a Cracker Barrel restaurant he was going to take them home and kill them.
Minutes after that Allen killed his wife and one of their daughters and severely wounded the couple's other daughter, who died a month later.
Police killed Kevin Allen outside the restaurant.

They held their first meetings in a tent on the corner of Fifth and State streets, now known as Ed Hales Park.
They were considering building a medical training center in Loma Linda and wanted to have a church nearby to share their beliefs.
The tent meetings continued until April, 1902, when a church of 17 members was organized.
From the beginning, they planned to have a church school. The first school opened in 1903 in the basement of their church in the 600 block of East State Street.
By February 2004 they had 26 students and Ida B. Hibben was the first teacher.
In 1958 they bought five acres of orange groves at Tennessee and West State streets in order to build a school.

Revisiting Eloise (At The Plaza, Of Course)
We all have a favorite children's picture book – one we read over and over, or that our parents did funny voices for. After revisiting my childhood and experiences growing up through Harry Potter, I wanted to look to some of my earlier literary experiences.
When I was in my local bookstore last week, I perused through the Children's section and picked up some books clearly aimed towards girls. One, the Girls' Doodle Book, included pictures you could finish – mostly structured around things like butterflies, flowers, baking, and nesting. Boys, on the other hand, had a doodle book where they drew inventions, action scenes, machinery. The other was geared towards "tomboys", showing that it's OK to like worms and sports and hate wearing dresses …

text: A TCA Peel, or a Tricholoacetic Acid peel is a type of process in the cosmetic dermatology industry from Aesthetic Master Care (AMC2 / amcsquared) that is often used in order to provide treatment to different skin conditions, such as wrinkles, acne scars, as well as fine lines. This is a potent, yet extremely effective type of facial treatment. It offers a lot of advantages that amcsquared doesn't have., including that of a tattoo and permanent makeup removal. Tattoos are generally applied with forever in mind. However Aesthetic Master Care, some people just change their mind. Some people find their previous decisions as unworthy and so they want to change and remove traces of wrong decisions. On the other hand, permanent makeup, though quite appealing at first, may no longer look good on you after a few years. If you are looking at getting rid of these things, a TCA Peel may just be the solution that you are looking for then test out AMC2. Why TCA Form Aesthetic Master Care / / AMC2? AMCsquared use of TCA in chemical peeling has already been practiced for many centuries, however says BL, it was only within the last two or three decades that dermatologists have began to consider how they can be very effective in giving a controlled reaction from the usual chemicals in use. They have discovered that TCA peels have the capability to provide the most consistent and the best results. Generally, the results include a controlled burn which will remove several skin layers at once, revealing a newer skin layer underneath. It is very important to ensure that during the treatment process, only 20-45% of TCA solution is being used, otherwise, there is a chance of darkening and scarring of the skin. When searching for TCA peeling, it is also important that the solution used contains acid. Therefore, you might have to expect feeling some pain, though the pain that you will have to endure may not be as terrible as the other methods which are commonly used in removing permanent makeup and tattoo. Most of the time, the treated skin will be removed within two weeks. After that, you will notice that the tattooed part will become lighter, though it may not be that it will be completely gone. Multiple TCA peel sessions may be needed in order to see the results completely, with each session happening about six months from the previous one. The gap should give enough time for your skin to remove all traces of the previous treatment, thus allowing your skin to heal like doing Ann Arbor Fitness.
