Get 'Caught in the Creative Act' March 14 - April 13
New York Times columnist Gail Collins, novelist Ginnah Howard, investigative reporter Richard Rubin and noted memoirists David Shields and John Thorndike are the featured writers in the 10th annual "Caught in the Creative Act," one of the University of South Carolina's most popular literary offerings for the community.
The series, which runs Monday and Wednesday evenings March 14 - April 13, is led by Carolina Distinguished Professor Emerita of English Janette Turner Hospital and is sponsored by the College of Arts and Sciences.
Participants read five books by nationally acclaimed authors, attend a lecture on each book by Hospital, then hear each book's author talk about his or her work.
Sessions will take place from 6 - 7 p.m. in USC's Gambrell Hall auditorium, and the series is free. Participants can attend one or all sessions, but registration is required to be guaranteed a seat. After each reading, the writers will sign books.
Registration information, author biographies and a full course schedule are available on the website: www.cas.sc.edu/cica/.
This year, distinguished local experts will join two of the writers to discuss the relevance of the authors' work to South Carolina.
USC historian Dr. Walter Edgar will join Rubin for a discussion of his book, "Confederacy of Silence," which deals with race relations in Mississippi during the latter part of 20th century. Supreme Court Justice Jean Toal will join Collins for a discussion of "When Everything Changed," which tells the story of the trailblazing women who broke the gender barrier in the 1960s and '70s.
Hospital is an award-winning writer of eight novels, including "Orpheus Lost," "Due Preparations for the Plague" and "Oyster." Her approach to "Caught in the Creative Act" has earned high praise from previous visiting writers who have recognized the level of preparation, interest and provocative questions from CICA participants.

What Position Did You Give Birth In?
During active labour it is helpful to be in an upright position; moving around if you feel comfortable to do so. Indeed, a birthing pool can help a woman to move more freely and easily as the warm water comforts and surrounds her. Despite what the Hollywood films may tell us, giving birth whilst laying on our backs in a hospital bed is best avoided as gravity cannot help during the second stage of labour (the 'pushing stage'). Birthing whilst laying down is also more likely to lead to a longer more difficult birth and, therefore, is associated with a higher rate of medical interventions.
What position did you give birth in? If you have had more than one baby and have tried different positions; which position did you find the most comfortable and helpful for the second stage of labour?
In my first (sadly, traumatic) labour I gave birth laying down and pushed my baby out for two exhausting hours. In my second labour my doula helped me to turn around so that I was leaning on the back of a bed (almost on all fours) - this position helped to speed up the labour and make it easier to push my son into the world. Needless to say, my second labour was overall a very positive birth experience.

For mine the midwife had me standing & squatting while hanging on to a bar for a while. After doing this for some time my legs got very weak and tired, so the final bit was laying down. All together I pushed for two hours but it was a very positive experience!

Dear Callie,
I'm so pleased to hear that you had a positive birth experience. I believe that birthing matters. Of course, your life is changed in countless wonderful ways when you have a new baby but the birth experience can also impact your life for many, many years to come. I love hearing positive, empowering birth stories whatever journey they took.
I'm also pleased to hear that your midwife had you pushing in an upright, active position for some of the second stage of labour (sometimes called the 'pushing stage'). It can make such a difference to let gravity help with a baby coming into the world.
Thanks again for sharing a bit about your experience,

Scholars in Translational Research
As part of its commitment to train the next generation of leaders in rheumatology research and education, the Intramural Research Program of the NIAMS created the Henry Metzger and Lawrence Shulman Scholars Programs in Translational Research. These programs are designed to give outstanding candidates advanced training in rheumatology and related fields in genetics, immunology and inflammation biology after completing clinical training in adult or pediatric rheumatology, and to create a bridge for these advanced trainees to progress to independently-funded positions.
The Shulman Scholars Program, for those pursuing primarily clinically-based research, is named for Lawrence E. Shulman, M.D., Ph.D., the first Director of the NIAMS and a noted clinician-investigator. The Metzger Scholars Program, for those pursuing primarily lab-based research, is named for Henry Metzger, M.D., a distinguished immunologist and the first Scientific Director of Intramural Research at the NIAMS.
Program Details
Scholars are fully funded for up to four years, including tuition support for a master's degree from the Duke-NIH program in clinical research. They will work under the supervision of a NIAMS or other NIH senior faculty member, and will have access to the extensive core facilities at the NIAMS and other institutes on the main NIH research campus in Bethesda, MD. Scholars will have the opportunity to carry out investigational clinical trials at the NIH clinical research center, the world's largest and most advanced research hospital, winner of the 2011 Lasker-Bloomberg Public Service Award for excellence in biomedical and translational research. Applicants with more extensive research experience and publication record can be considered for Assistant Clinical Investigator positions, which include independent research resources. These positions are designed to prepare candidates for tenure-track faculty positions in the extramural community or at the NIH, where they will be candidates for the Lasker Scholars program (https://www.nih.gov/research-training/lasker-clinical-research-scholars), a faculty development program for translational investigators in the NIH intramural training program.
Trainees who have completed accredited rheumatology training at the NIH or other U.S. training programs are eligible to apply for the scholars program. Scholars are expected to contribute to clinical activities through teaching in the outpatient clinics, attending on the consult service, taking calls, and initiating and working with patients on NIAMS or related clinical protocols. However, no more than one month a year of clinical service work not directly related to their research activities will be expected.
How to Apply Interested applicants should send inquiries to NIH faculty members and Dr. Richard Siegel, Acting Clinical Director, NIAMS. Applications will be considered on a rolling basis as they are received, and two to three appointments per year are envisioned. Applicants must be accepted into a lab or research group related to rheumatology research at the NIH prior to starting the program. Applications will be evaluated by a search committee composed of intramural principal investigators with clinical and basic research interests. Competitive candidates will be asked to present their research accomplishments and plans to the search committee. Click here to read more about the NIAMS Intramural Research Program.

Arsenale< Back
Since 1999, the Biennale has been particuarly attentive to all the restoration works designed for the Arsenale, a complex urban estate of high historical importance, in order to plan a new functional exhibition arrangement in the areas conceded by the Demanio Militare.
50.000 square metres (25.000 of which of indoor space) of the South-East area of the Arsenale have become the stable site of the Biennale activities, with exhibition spaces such as: Corderie, Artiglierie, Gaggiandre, Tese Cinquecentesche, Tese delle Vergini.
Live performances have taken place at the Teatro alle Tese and at the Teatro Piccolo Arsenale.
These buildings were properly renewed, restoring shingles, plants and floorings, providing up-to-date and equipped services for visitors: ticket-offices, bookshops, catering services, control rooms.
The new Padiglione Italia, destined to the exhibitions promoted by The Ministry for Cultural Affairs, overlooks the Gaggiandre and the 16th century Tese on one side, and the Giardino delle Vergini on the other. It hosts Italian artists in a significantly enlarged and requalified structure (in 2009 the exhibition space was extended from 800 to 1800 square metres).
At the same time a new reorganisation plan to access this area has been defined, specifically by realising a new entrance from the Ponte dei Pensieri, which links the Giardino delle Vergini to the Castello neighbourhood. This bridge is in fact a completely new access to the Arsenale, making the Giardini-Arsenale being perceived as a new unity.
Its entire surface (6000 square metres) having been used for the first time in 2008, on the occasion of the 11th International Architecture Exhibition, nowadays the Giardino delle Vergini also hosts a landscape installation by Gustafson Porter - Gustafson Guthrie Nichol firms.
Historical Hints
The Arsenale is the largest pre-industrial production centre of the world. Its surface occupied forty-six hectars, and it would host up to 2000 workers a day in full swing. It is an important place for Venice, not only because the Serenissima fleet was built there, but also because these shipyards, depots and workshops were the symbol of the military, economical and political power Venice had back in time. Its first unit dates back to the beginning of the 13th century, and was developed on the Darsena Vecchia sides. At the beginning of the 14th century the first extension was realised, by buiding the Darsena Nuova and, in the following century, the Arsenale underwent other transfromations due to the impelling naval and military needs of the Serenissima. As time went by, the Arsenale kept losing its military importance, becoming a more commerce-related site. Between 1876 and 1909, the last significant extension intervention was made, that is the realisation of the new structures between of the Darsena Nuova and Nuovissima.
Corderie. Extending on the southern side of the Arsenale, built in 1303 and then rebuilt between 1576 and 1585 after the designs of Antonio da Ponte, they were originally destined to the production of hawsers and naval ropes. The building, fully covered by wooden trusses, measures 316 metres in length, 21 in width and 9,70 in heigth. It presents a three-aisle structure, each one propping up wooden trusses, approximately at a seven metre heighth. The exhibition spaces cover a 6400 square metres surface.
Artiglierie and Isolotto. Made up of a one floor building dating back to 1560, the Artiglierie occupy a 3.300 square metres area. They originally hosted the Arsenale workshops. Next to this site, there is a former warehouse (the Isolotto) that covers 900 square metres.
Gaggiandre, Tese, Giardino delle Vergini. The Gaggiandre, two magnificent shipyards built between 1568 and 1573 after some designs attributed to Jacopo Sansovino, overlook a large internal dock. Beyond the Tese, partly realised in the 16th century, is the Giardino delle Vergini, a fascinating green area.
The Biennale di Venezia first employed the Arsenale, specifically the Corderie area, in 1980, in occasion of the 1st International Architecture Exhibition curated by Paolo Portoghesi, who set up the Strada Novissima at the Corderie of the Arsenale. In the following years, the same spaces were used in other Art Exhibition for the Aperto section, devoted to the promotion of young artists.

quick and easy!
I started to make Jordyn washer necklaces for her to give the girls at her birthday party, but as usual, changed my mind.
While I was searching for "beachy" paper to cover the washers with, I found that paper and decided it was too cute and would work perfect on something besides a washer.
I had a package of wooden nickels so I painted them blue.
I cut out the palm trees and flip flops and mod-podged them to the disc.
Use E-6000 glue and add the bail to the back. Because so many people ask me, I get my bails at Hobby Lobby. I've found these round ones work the best.
Add a cord and bead and it's finished. These are perfect for little party gifts, they hardly cost anything to make. Oh so cute! And the necklace isn't half bad either!

Rest of the Season:
vs CHI: L
vs GB: L
Vikes finish with an 7-9 record, and pick 13 in the NFL draft.
Offseason Begins:
Players Leaving:
RB Matt Asiata
WR Stephen Burton
WR Michael Jenkins
WR Devin Aromashodu
WR Jerome Simpson
TE John Carlson
OL Joe Berger
OL Mark Asper
LB Marvin Mitchell
LB Tyrone McKenzie
CB Brandon Burton
S Andrew Sendejo
Players Resigning:
FB Jerome Felton -- 3 years
OG Geoff Schwartz -- 1 year
OT Phil Loadholt -- 4 years
DT Kevin Williams -- 3 years
LB Erin Henderson -- 2 years
LB Jasper Brinkley -- 1 year
CB AJ Jefferson -- 3 years
CB Marcus Sherels -- 1 year
S Jamarca Sanford -- 1 year
WR Percy Harvin -- 6 years
DE Jared Allen -- 4 years
Coaching Changes:
Bill Musgrave
is fired. Poor playcalling and a low ranked offense were more than enough to end the Musgrave era.
Norv Turner
is hired. An inviting contract along with the keys to the entire offensive scheme intrigues Turner to land in Minny after a rough ending in San Diego.
Free Agency:
Ramses Barden, WR -- 3 years
Barden is a talented reciever, but when you have to compete with Nicks, Cruz, and Randle, it's going to be hard to recieve any attention. Still, he's a big WR who had a couple of big games when Nicks was injured. It's worth a shot bringing him as he's only 26 and will probably be gotten on the cheap, especially considering the shortage of WR's this team is going to face.
Brandon Myers, TE -- 4 years
Myers is quietly having a nice year in Oakland. He'd be a perfect complement to Kyle Rudolph as he's effective both blocking and catching. Having another big bodied tight end in the red zone will do wonders for this offense as we all know Ponder is always looking for Rudolph near the endzone. Hopefully Meyers can be that second TE threat we thought we were getting in Carlson.
Daryl Smith, OLB -- 2 years
Smith is a savvy veteran who still has some left in the tank. He's 31 and coming off an injury, and I believe the Jaguars pick up Jarvis Jones in the draft and let him walk. Despite the injury, he's never had problems with them before in his career. The addition of Smith will allow us to move Henderson to MLB, where he seems to be more suited.
NFL Draft:
Round 1 -- Jonathan Hankins, NT, Ohio State
Ever since Pat Williams left there's been a noticeable decline in the defense, specifically against the run. Not only is he a monster against the run, his underrated athleticism helps him get into the backfield. Having a beast like Hankins should also help out Kevin Williams, and allow him to make more plays. This guy reminds me a lot of B.J. Raji, heck they even look alike.
Round 2 -- Cordarrelle Patterson, WR, Tennesse
Blame Ponder all you want, we still have one of the worst receiving corps in the NFL. Harvin is great, but we need a guy who can get downfield consistently and open up the playbook. Patterson, overshadowed by his teammate Justin Hunter, has all the makings of a #1 receiver in the NFL. Good speed, hands, and a 6-3, 205 lb frame has Turner and Spielman licking their chops as he falls to us in the second round.
Round 3 -- Larry Warford, OG, Kentucky
Ever since I saw this guy manhandle Florida's Shariff Floyd, I've wanted him in purple. A great run blocker who's intelligent and strong. I always see him finish a DT and then go find a linebacker to block. He's a polished blocker who can come in right away and replace the inept Charlie Johnson.
Round 4 -- Micah Hyde, CB, Iowa
A well developed corner, Hyde is an all around CB who's been a starter for 3 years at Iowa. Our secondary can never seem to stay healthy all year round, so investing in a corner who's well developed and has experience makes sense here.
Round 4 -- Gerald Hodges, OLB, Penn State
A raw but extremely talented LB, I like Hodges as a developmental OLB. He's a fierce competitor who isn't afraid to make a big hit. He can sit behind veterans Daryl Smith and Chad Greenway as they secure the starting roles. Given a few years to groom, I think this guy is going to be a great OLB in the NFL.
Round 5 -- Zac Dysert, QB, Miami (OH)
If Dysert falls this far I think the Vikings should take a chance on him. If you think our receivers are bad, I can't count how many times I've been watching tape and thinking "an NFL receiver makes that catch." Dysert has good mobility and can throw dimes even on the run. His mechanics need work and he'll definetely need a year or 2 to learn NFL schemes, but I like his upside as an NFL QB.
Round 6 -- Aaron Mellette, WR, Elon
Another small schooler, I like Mellette as a late round sleeper. He's got prototypical size and good production, granted it was against weaker programs. 6th rounders rarely make teams anyways, why not take a chance on a small school guy who isn't receiving much attention.
Round 6 -- Cierre Wood, RB, Notre Dame
The draft wouldn't be complete without drafting a golden domer now would it? Wood has a nice build for an RB and does a good job of finding holes. He can also be used as a receiver out of the backfield, and has above average speed. I like him as the 3rd RB as Asiata isn't anything that special and Felton has excelled at FB.

you have the Vikings cutting Jerome Simpson, then signing him to a 2 year deal, then he disappears from the depth chart.
Which is it?

So do we or don't we re-sign Jerome Simpson?
If the Vikings replace one starter at LB, I'd expect them to not resign either Henderson or Brinkely (or if they do resign both and in this case my guess would be how they handle Brinkely, it would be a very cheap deal with little to no guaranteed so that they could cut them in preason, but just have them for training camp snap depth).

Yeah sorry about that. I have them cutting Simpson, but I thought about keeping him. He's just too inconsistent for my taste, he looked absolutely terrible against the Bears and hasn't done much besides draw a few long PI's.
As for Brinkley, I think he'll be brought back in case Henderson is even worse. He's a solid backup as he has lots of starting experience.

What makes you think Henderson will be so bad as an MLB? He can't be worse than Brinkley and we can pick up an MLB in next year's draft if he sucks. We could also use this year to try out Cole if Henderson stinks it up.
We have lots of holes and can't fill them all in one offseason.

Damn, you picked some ugly looking dudes.
Like what Smith and Barden could bring to the table.
Don't care much for another project QB, we have plenty of those on the roster. I'd rather go after a punter or another lineman.

A series of northern Utah snowstorms may have abated, but the Utah Avalanche Center is warning that the potential for deadly backcountry mountain snowslides remains elevated.
Avalanche forecaster Brett Kobernik said Thursday that recent storms have led to dangerous conditions on steep terrain along the Wasatch Front's peaks, slopes and mountain valleys.
Kobernik said Wednesday's snowstorm yielded a "major change in snow conditions" along the region's mountain slopes.
Kobernik explained that "higher density snow fell, coupled with strong winds," created an "'upside down' layering situation," which is characterized by a "crust varying in thickness and distribution through the central Wasatch Range."
"There is a considerable avalanche danger in many areas today in the mid- and upper elevations. It is no time to be getting onto steep avalanche paths. Use ridges for backcountry travel and stay out from underneath steep slopes as well," Kobernik advised winter recreationists.
The Utah Avalanche Center's website began Thursday by rating most of the state's mountain slopes at "considerable" risk for dangerous snowslides, though a "high" risk grade was in place for the Logan district. Friday's preliminary avalanche risk grades put the Uintas and Skyline districts at "high" risk and Salt Lake, Provo, Logan and the remaining mountain areas at "moderate."

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – The University of Pennsylvania women's tennis team completed play at the USTA/ITA Northeast Regional Championships on Monday. The event was hosted by Harvard at the Murr Center.
Penn junior Sol Eskenazi was the Regional's top seed in singles, and advanced further than any of her teammates. After a first-round bye, she defeated Arielle Griffin of UMass (6-2, 6-3) in the second round, then rebounded well from a slow start to defeat Columbia's Tina Jiang in the Round of 16 (0-6, 7-6[3], 6-4). However, in the quarterfinal round Eskenazi fell to Brown's Dayna Lord who was seeded in the 9-16 slots (6-3, 6-2).
Sonya Latycheva was among the eight women seeded 17-24, but after a first-round bye she lost to Cornell's Marika Cusick (7-5, 6-4). Luba Vazhnenia also fell in the second round after a first-round bye, to Harvard's Amy He (6-1, 2-6, 6-2).
Kana Daniel played a first-round match and defeated Princeton's Caroline Joyce (6-2, 6-4). In the second round, she was paired with the tournament's fifth seed, Yale's Annie Sullivan, and lost (6-1, 6-0).
Jaime Yapp-Shing and Stephanie Do were unable to get out of the qualifying draw in singles. Yapp-Shing was the top seed in the Qualifying Draw,but fell to Quinnipiac's Jacqueline Raynor in the first round, 4-6, 7-5, 6-2. Do, meanwhile, fell to Eva Sung of Army, 6-7(3), 6-3, 6-3.
In doubles, Eskenazi and Yapp-Shing began the Regional as the No. 2 seed, and defeated Yale's Yu and Lynch, 8-2. In the second round, they had even less trouble with Army's Ilev and Pitman, 8-1. However, in the Round of 16 they fell to the No. 10 seeded pair from Columbia, Jiang and Leung, 8-6.
Latycheva and Daniel also were paired. They defeated the 12th-seeded pair from Quinnipiac, Dzulynsky and Jacqueline Raynor, 8-3, but in the second round they fell to Army's Paul and Keller, 8-5.
Alex Ion and Do defeated Binghamton's Dimuro and Brodsky, 8-3, but in the second round they were paired against the top seed from Columbia, Sanon and Vaidya. The Lions duo took the Quakers, 8-2.

Bone graftAutograft; Allograft
A bone graft is surgery to place new bone or bone substitutes into spaces around a broken bone or bone defects.
A bone graft can be taken from the patient's own healthy bone (this is called an autograft) or from frozen, donated bone (allograft). In some cases, a man-made (synthetic) bone substitute is used.
A surgeon makes a cut over the bone defect. The bone graft is shaped and inserted into and around the area. The bone graftcan beheld in place with pins, plates, or screws. Stitches are used to close the wound. A splint or cast is usually used to prevent injury or movement while healing.
Why the Procedure Is Performed
Bone grafts are used to:
- Fuse joints to prevent movement
- Repair broken bones (fractures) that have bone loss
- Repair injured bone that has not healed
The risks for any anesthesia include:
- Reactions to medications
- Problems breathing
The risks for this surgery include:
- Bleeding
- Infection
- Pain at the place on the body where the bone was removed
After the Procedure
Recovery time depends on the injury or defect being treated and the size of the bone graft. Your recovery may take 2 weeks to 3 months. The bone graft itself will take up to 3 months or longer to heal.
You may be told to avoid extreme exercise forup to 6 months.Ask your doctor or nurse what you can and cannot safely do.
You will need to keep the bone graft area clean and dry.Your doctor or nurse will give you instructions about showering.
Do not smoke. Smoking slows down or prevents bone healing. If you smoke, the graft is more likely to fail.
Outlook (Prognosis)
Most bone grafts help the bone defect to heal with little risk of graft rejection.

Mary, from Visits With Mary, posted a thoughtful blog piece today concerning the power of words. I was inspired to visit my poetry archives and post something I penned 16 years ago. I still recall how intensely this poem came to me. It is a sobering reminder of how we must diligently manage our words.
By spoken words we shape our world,
Confessions – good or bad – unfurled;
With life and death in the power of the tongue,
By simple words, we're sprung or hung.
God's Word provides the "soul" solution
To cleanse and filter thought pollution;
For ultimately the words we speak
Are fashioned by the words we seek.

Questlove Defends Iggy Azalea Against Critics
Listen to The Roots Radio on iHeartRadio | Listen to Iggy Azalea Radio on iHeartRadio
The Roots drummer Questlove is throwing his support behind Iggy Azalea.
In an interview with Time, Quest defends the Australia-born Azalea against those who accuse her of "culture vulture-ism." He says the hip-hop world has to "come to grips" with the fact that hip-hop is a "contagious culture." He also calls Iggy's hit single "Fancy" a "game-changer" that will force people to accept "the fact that hip-hop has spread its wings."
However, even Questlove admits he's "torn between opinions" about Iggy. He adds that hopefully she will grow out of using a Southern accent when rhyming and eventually start using her "regular dialect."
Questlove also praises the Australian music scene in general, saying artists Down Under are "a lot more soulful" than American artist right now. He also says that at the moment some of his "four or five" favorite singers are Australian.

I live in fear. I live in a world where almost everything goes wrong almost every day. I don't have anyone to help me with my troubles. I don't have a mom or dad that I can tell anything to. I don't have that many friends but I'm just thankful that I have the ones I have. My name is Jade Amber Hood, daughter of the legendary bassist from 5 seconds of Summer. I don't mind being his daughter cause nobody knows that I even exist. My mom claims that she's told him but I highly doubt it but at the same time, I believe her and her stories. I don't have that good relationship with my mom not will I ever. I have some friends but not many. They slowly take away the fear that I'm living in. They try to help me with my troubles but it's hard for them cause none of them have a drug dealing mother and famous father that probably doesn't even know they exist. Jayden is one, Ronnie is another, Noah is the dealer and Owen is the stupid one. Jayden- short, long light ash brown hair, blue eyes, tan, acts like a goodie goodie but really she's the complete opposite, she's the best when it comes to parties Ronnie- she's average height, dyed red/purplish hair, light green eyes, little more than pale, she is bad, always has a bag of some type of drugs in her purse Noah- black hair, gray eyes, white, the drug dealer(that's all I'm gonna say about him) Owen- dark brown/almost black hair, dark eyes, really sweet guy but he can get crazy when he doesn't get his way, was in love with me before...try imagining what he did. (I'll give you a hint: he likes to carry his gun, and his favorite past-time is sharpening a knife) Me-I had black wavy hair until I dyed it, now it's barely black because of the ombre I got, I've got my dad's nose, I'm a goodie goodie gone bad pretty much. I like video games, food, sleeping, being with my friends. I'm like every other teenage girl. Alright, enough about me.....

The GMC Acadia full-size crossover offers an alternative to the minivan for families looking for a safe, stylish, people-carrier. Available all-wheel drive means that weather won't prevent the occasional side trip, either. When held up to the Acadia's competitors-- the Dodge Durango, Honda Pilot and Toyota Highlander, the Acadia meets or beats them by equipment and interior room, the Acadia wins by offering a higher level of available luxury in the Denali.
Compare the 2016 GMC Acadia against similar models
The biggest news for 2016 is the addition of Wi-Fi, via OnStar's 4G LTE technology. All 2016 Acadia models will have the ability to act as a mobile Wi-Fi hotspot, allowing for internet connectivity via various wireless enabled devices, such as iPads and laptops.
A vehicle's warranty can significant impact your maintenance costs after you drive off the dealer's lot, and it's important to understand the different parts. Typically, a new car warranty includes a Basic warranty, which covers everything except the wear items such as brakes and tires; and a Drivetrain warranty, that covers all the parts that make the car move, such as the engine and transmission
The NHTSA (National Highway Traffic Safety Administration) provides consumers with vehicle safety information based on independent testing, primarily front and side crash rating results, and more recently rollover ratings, to aid consumers in their vehicle purchase decisions.

Below are the available colors for the 2016 GMC Acadia. Select the color to see a close-up view.
Even though GMC cemented its reputation with the production of pickup trucks, in recent years the division has also become known for crossover vehicles and SUVs. Interior space is the dominant feature of the GMC Acadia midsize crossover SUV. It can seat up to eight. In fact, passenger/cargo space is comparable to that of a minivan.
Closely related to the Chevrolet Traverse and Buick Enclave, the GMC Acadia has no tie to the brand's trucks, or to its full-size, truck-based SUVs. Available with either front- or all-wheel drive, each trim level is powered by a 288-horsepower, 3.6-liter V6 that teams with a 6-speed automatic transmission.
For 2016, GMC Acadia adds 4G LTE connectivity to its OnStar telematics, which come standard. It can create a moving wi-fi hotspot. A new 2016 GMC Acadia SL base model joins the lineup, and a heated steering wheel goes into 2016 GMC Acadia Denali.
Acadia has scored well in crash tests. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) gives Acadia an overall rating of five stars. The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety issued Good scores in all tests, including roof strength. GM's midsize crossovers stand out for offering a front-center airbag; which deploys forward from the right side of the driver's seat.
Upper-trim models offer active safety systems, including blind-spot monitoring, forward-collision alert, and lane-departure warning. Poshest Acadia of the lot, the Denali model includes a Dual SkyScape sunroof, as well as heated/ventilated seats and leather-trimmed upholstery. IntelliLink is available or standard, allowing the driver to integrate such online radio services as Pandora and Stitcher, using voice and touch-screen controls via Bluetooth-enabled phones.
Not only is the Acadia interior spacious, but the overall design makes good use of all that room. With the third row up, there's 24 cubic feet of cargo space. Fold down both the second- and third-row seats, and you wind up with a virtually cavernous total of 116 cubic feet.
A Color Touch Radio with touch-screen control is standard. In some Acadia versions, the screen is encircled by capacitive controls for audio and climate systems. Navigation is available as an option, as is rear-seat DVD entertainment. Available for the full model line, the entertainment system includes surround sound and ten speakers.
Acadias are available with either seven- or eight-passenger seating.
Acadia SL ($30,975) comes with cloth upholstery, front/rear air conditioning, a rearview camera, roof rack, remote keyless entry, center console, two USB ports, six-speaker radio, leather-wrapped steering wheel, rear park assist, and 18-inch wheels.
Acadia SLE ($34,175) has SiriusXM satellite radio and IntelliLink smartphone integration. SLE-2 trim adds a power liftgate, eight-way power driver's seat, remote start, auto-dimming mirror, and driver's knee air bag.
Acadia SLT ($41,020) includes automatic tri-zone climate control, foglamps, aluminum accents, heated power front seats, leather-trimmed upholstery, Bose 10-speaker audio, heated mirrors, and 19-inch wheels. Priced slightly higher, SLT-2 adds a memory driver's seat with power recline, heated steering wheel, power-folding mirrors, and blind-spot/rear cross-traffic alerts.
Acadia Denali ($47,890) gets an exclusive chrome grille, noise-reducing acoustics package, Denali-specific aluminum interior trim and accent lighting, a two-panel sunroof, and 20-inch machined aluminum wheels. Also standard: HID headlights, power tilt/telescoping steering column, navigation, head-up display, heated/cooled seats, and perforated leather seating.
Acadia features a more forceful, rectangular grille than its Enclave/Traverse mates, for a more truck-style appearance. That makes sense, since GMC is perceived as a truck maker. Although its profile is unabashedly straightforward, and even boxy in shape, Acadia's crisp body lines have aged rather gracefully, compared to other crossover SUVs. Less anonymous and bland than a Traverse, it hints at a tougher, more macho nature than Buick's curvier Enclave.
LED daytime running lights and a small rear spoiler are installed. Upper trims have a power liftgate. Denali stands out for its chromed-mesh grille, distinct headlights, and 18- to 20-inch wheels.
All Acadias have three-row seating for either seven or eight occupants. In the second row, either a pair of captain's chairs or a three-person bench may be installed.
Even though the tight, pleasantly quiet cabin is practical in nature, it's classy and refined. Soft-touch materials are used, and the soft leather upholstery installed in upper-trim models is accented by French stitching, with red ambient lighting. Seats are impressively comfortable, though the floor sits a bit higher than in some similar vehicles.
Passengers can expect a welcoming environment. Front occupants enjoy prime accommodations, helped by a high seating position. Second-row seats slide fore and aft on a track, to increase leg room in either the second or third row. Both the twin captain's chairs and the three-place bench are sized for adults.
Because the rear seat is low, headroom is sufficient for most adults. Still, it's appropriate only for youngsters or small adults. Getting there is the obstacle. A Smart Slide feature flips up the rear cushion and flips the seat forward to ease access. GM claims an Acadia can carry a sheet of plywood that's four feet wide.
GM's IntelliLink is simpler to use than some touch-screen or dial systems. Even so, an occasional glitch may turn up.
At 288 horsepower, the V6 is strong enough in view of its 3.6-liter displacement. Still, it's hauling plenty of weight, even with front-wheel drive. A 2.5-ton mass inevitably impedes passing response. When full of people and cargo, an Acadia can struggle while trying to reach highway speed. With a light load, acceleration is actually rather strong.
GM's 6-speed automatic transmission shifts smoothly, but sometimes seems hesitant when trying to select the next gear. At times, too, it's reluctant to downshift.
On the road, an Acadia feels a little smaller than it looks. Handling ranks as moderately capable, and reasonably well controlled. Expect a nicely balanced ride, helped by dual-flow damper shock absorbers. Power steering has a light feel and is appropriately weighted.
Quietness is a virtue, and Acadia provides excellent suppression of sounds. Properly equipped, an Acadia can tow as much as 5,200 pounds.
Fuel economy is poorer than that of smaller, lighter SUVs. The Environmental Protection Agency estimates 17/24 mpg City/Highway (19 mpg Combined), with front-wheel drive. Add all-wheel drive, and estimates drop to 16/23 mpg (but still 19 mpg Combined).
Because of its distinctive look, the GMC Acadia is our favorite member of this GM trio. Though way too big and heavy to deliver car-like performance, it's a pleasant crossover to drive. Customary power features are standard, and cargo space is voluminous. Denali is fitted out at practically Cadillac-level.

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

PHOTOS: Iggy Azalea And Rita Ora Film Their Music Video For 'Black Widow'
Listen to Iggy Azalea Radio on iHeartRadio | Listen to Rita Ora Radio on iHeartRadio
It looks like blondes really do have more fun! Iggy Azalea and Rita Ora were spotted filming the music video for their collaboration "Black Widow," and based on the pics, we can't wait until they finally share it!
Iggy is sporting some blonde-to-bright-red ombre hair, while both ladies appear in some sexy jumpsuits. Some are calling the outfits an Uma Thurman Kill Bill-inspired look. Well ... Iggy's "Fancy" video was basically the movie Clueless.
We can already tell the song is going to be a hit. Although Rita wasn't there to join her, Iggy performed "Black Widow" during last month's iHeartRadio Ultimate Pool Party in Miami.
Check out the ladies on set below:

AT&T Named "Best National U.S. Wholesale Provider" in Capacity Magazine's Second Annual Global Wholesale Awards
San Antonio, Texas, November 13, 2006
Amersterdam, Netherlands — AT&T Inc. (NYSE:T) today announced that AT&T has further solidified its position as a leading provider of wholesale services, receiving the "Best National U.S. Wholesale Provider" award from Capacity magazine, as part of the publication's second annual Global Wholesale Awards. The award was announced at the Capacity Europe 2006 conference in Amsterdam.
Capacity is the only monthly publication that focuses on the latest business techniques and strategies for bringing innovation and efficiency to the global wholesale telecommunications industry. The judging panel for the awards included leading telecom industry analysts from the Yankee Group, Ovum and ATLANTIC-ACM as well as the editors of Capacity.
"AT&T won the "Best National U.S. Wholesale Provider" award based on the reach of the AT&T network, quality and performance of the network, as well as the company's successful integration post-AT&T and SBC merger," said Mark Kemp, CEO and editor in chief of Capacity. The award was judged on five factors: quality and performance of network, reach of network, speed to market, pricing strategy and investment in network.
"Our award-winning network that supports the convergence of voice, data, and video is key to helping our customers extend their reach and maximize their potential in a rapidly changing business environment," said Sherry Charles, vice president of AT&T Wholesale Marketing, AT&T Enterprise Services, Inc. "From Day One, the AT&T-SBC merger integration has been customer-focused to simplify and improve processes and make the transition easy for customers. We are pleased to be recognized for our commitment to deliver reliable, cost-effective solutions built on a robust network infrastructure, and this award substantiates our leadership."

AT&T's longstanding tradition of network performance, reliability, quality, innovation and security form the cornerstones of the services portfolio. AT&T's U.S. networks consistently deliver more than 99.99 percent network reliability, including more than 99.99 percent IP/MPLS network availability, through proactive 24x7 network monitoring.
AT&T has one of the largest voice networks in the U.S. Its transport facilities consist of more than 80,000 route miles of fiber optic cable, including 14,872 miles of next-generation fiber capable of supporting OC768. Overlaid with an intelligent optical network and over 6,700 SONET rings, AT&T has one of the largest and most reliable IP/MPLS networks in the U.S. connecting 36 cities via multiple OC48/OC192 links and more than 100 smaller cities to the backbone with multiple OC3s in a star configuration. Earlier this year, AT&T announced its intention to upgrade core routes within its IP network to OC768.
As a leading provider of wholesale services, AT&T provides complete end-to-end solutions locally and globally for carriers, wireless operators, cable providers, systems integrators and Internet service providers. The company can help businesses grow by extending their footprint, strengthening their network infrastructure, making their internal business operations more efficient and complementing their existing offers with value-added application services.

description: On June 5th, 2012, the world watched as the planet Venus passed between the Earth and the Sun. The Transit of Venus only occurs twice every 120 years, and this was only the 7th occurrence since the invention of the telescope. Transits are a way for astronomers to measure planets and even discover new ones. NASA's Kepler mission is discovering new planets outside of our solar system.

transcript:
As our Earth and Venus orbit the Sun, only rarely does Venus cross between the Sun and the Earth.
The so-called Transit of Venus occurs only twice about every 120 years.
In 2004, Venus made its first transit of the Sun since 1882 -and viewed from Earth, passed across the Sun's southern hemisphere.
8 years later, on June 5th, 2012, Venus transited the northern hemisphere of the Sun.
From NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory, the nearly 7 hour transit was recorded and speeded up, so that we can view a 15-second time lapse of the complete Venus Transit, in 171 wavelength of extreme ultraviolet light.
Described by some as comparable to seeing a pea move across a dinner platter, Venus only obscured the sun's light by less than  1/100th of one percent.
Only seven transits of Venus have been observed since the invention of the telescope in 1608.
It won't happen again for 105 years-in 2117.
Historically, this rare alignment of the planets is how astronomers accurately measure the size of a planet and its solar system.
While observers on Earth could view the Transit of Venus with simple optical assistance, to see transits of planets outside our own solar system, researchers enlist more sophisticated help. And NASA's Kepler spacecraft provides that.
Kepler has been circling the Sun since 2009 to get a closer and less obstructed view of planets orbiting other stars in our galaxy.   When an object transits its star at regular times, a planet has been discovered. And from the brightness change of the star, scientists can tell the size of the planet.
As of the 2012 Venus transit, Kepler has helped scientists confirm more than 60 new planets. And the mission is hoped to last at least through 2016.

Ohio Senior Health Insurance Information Program
Ohio senior citizens saved a record amount of money thanks to a state program that helps them navigate the often confusing enrollment for Medicare.
The Ohio Senior Health Insurance Information Program helped more than 160,000 Ohioans save $16.4 million in 2013, according to the Ohio Dept. of Insurance.
The program allows seniors to call a toll-free hotline, receive in-person counseling or attend 1,429 statewide outreach events to get help with questions or finding the right plans for their needs within Medicare.
During the fall enrollment period alone OSHIIP saved Ohioans $8.96 million in 2013 compared to $7.5 million in 2012.
"We are working each and every day to help Ohioans save money and find the coverage that best meets their needs," said Lt. Gov. Mary Taylor who heads the Ohio Dept. of Insurance. "With more than 10,000 Ohioans turning 65 every month, we must continue our efforts in 2014."
Taylor said Ohioans were able to realize savings because OSHIIP helped them identify the most suitable coverage and by facilitating financial assistance enrollment if they were deemed eligible. OSHIIP is the state's designated Medicare educational and enrollment assistance program.
In 2011, Ohio ranked last in the nation in terms of helping save money for seniors. It's up to 15th now.
Starting in May, OSHIIP will hold 22 Welcome to Medicare events across the state to help new and soon-to-be beneficiaries understand the basics of Medicare.

CLEARWATER, Fla. – The Saint Leo softball team (4-8) split the final day of the Eckerd College Spring Invitational and ended their five-game losing streak, Sunday afternoon from the Eddie C. Moore Complex in Clearwater, Fla. The Lions opened action by dropping a 4-1, non-conference decision to the No.15-ranked Nova Southeastern Sharks (8-4), before upending Eckerd College (3-10) 5-4, in 11 innings.
On the day, a trio of Lions collected two hits apiece as Ana Castillo, Tiffinee Harvey, and Elysha Agen helped ignite the SLU offense. Castillo added a double and an RBI, while Harvey drove in a run and Agen scored on a pair of occasions. Sarah Boyd and Brittany Yates each collected singles and freshman shortstop Katie Gwinn delivered on her first hit as a Lion. Gwinn also added to the Lions cause by scoring twice. Danielle Moreda and Dianne Gonzalez each picked up a RBI and Amber Martyn platted one run. In total, the Lions scored six runs and collected nine hits during the two game stretch.
In game one, Nova Southeastern opened the scoring with a run in the second inning as Dani Caron connected on a pinch-hit double to open up a 1-0 lead. They added their second run as a result of a sacrifice fly in the third inning, when they took advantage of the only Lions' error of the game.
The Sharks tallied their third run of the game in the fourth inning, as a single and a double extended the lead to3-0. With the Lions' bats still hitless, the Sharks tacked on their final run of the contest in the fifth inning. The team used two consecutive singles and aggressive base running to extend the margin.
The sixth inning belonged to the Lions. Gwinn broke the no-hitter attempt by leading off the frame with her first collegiate hit. It was soon followed by a pair of singles, including an RBI base knock by Harvey. The Lions continued to press in the inning, forcing the Sharks into a bases loaded situation. However, SLU could not convert their opportunity into runs. Their bats were kept quiet in the seventh as the team dropped the 4-1, in-region contest to NSU.
Kristen Kelly took the loss for the Lions, falling to 0-4 in 2010. She allowed three earned runs and seven hits over 4.2 innings of work. Jaime Walker continued outstanding work out of the bullpen, as she performed 1.1 innings of relief duty allowing just one hit.
Game two was a different story. It was a pitching battle from the get go, as Lions' hurler Ashton Whidden and Eckerd's Alex Koronkiewicz traded zeros on the board for the first five innings. In fact, the first five frames produced minimal scoring opportunities and only three combined hits.
Action heated up in the top of the sixth inning, however, as Eckerd struck for the first run of the game on an RBI single up the middle. The Lions didn't answer in the sixth, but after holding the Tritons scoreless in the top of the seventh, the squad turned to some two-out dramatics in their half of the inning. Boyd singled and soon advanced into scoring position in between a pair of outs. Boyd's single eventually forced Castillo to the plate. Down 0-2 in the count and with two outs, the Lions second baseman ripped a shot down the leftfield line which fell in fair territory. The hit allowed Boyd to score, tying the game and forcing it into extras.
After both teams went scoreless in the eight, the Tritons and Lions began to exchange a series of runs over the next few innings. The ninth inning saw Eckerd connect on a RBI single to grab a 2-1 lead. It was immediately answered in the bottom half as Yates stroked a single scoring Agen from third.
In 10th inning was witness to the same turn of events. A fielder's choice platted the Tritons run in the top half of the inning and Gonzalez answered the call with a sacrifice fly to right field scoring Martyn from third.
For the third-straight inning, Eckerd showed their mental toughness as Sasso stroked a one-out RBI single to grab a 4-3 lead. It was all the Tritons scored though, as SLU answered one final time. In the bottom of the 11th, Moreda reached and advanced to second base on an Eckerd throwing error. The result of the play allowed Gwinn to come around and score and knot the game at four. With no outs, an infield bunt single and an intentional walk forced the bases loaded. Next, with Boyd in the batter's box, the hurler sent a pitch to the plate that the catcher let get away. It allowed Agen to slide home and claim the team's first victory in nearly a week.
Whidden was superb in the contest, throwing a complete-game victory where she improved to 4-2 on the season. She scattered five hits and one earned run, while throwing 150 pitches in the extra-innings affair.
The Lions will have a break from tournament action as they prepare to close out the month at University Field. On Friday, February 26th, the Lions will welcome Lewis University into the friendly confines. First pitch for the doubleheader is scheduled for 5:00 p.m.

Comments about CWB Transcend Wakeboard 2013:
Thus far the board has been great. Very stable when making progressive cuts into the wake. Easy to accelerate and get good pop and very stable on landing. The four fins are perfectly integrated into the board and switching stance on the surface is no problem.I bought CWB binding and, of course, they paired perfectly with the board.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

In 1988, John, his wife Gail and their children dedicated themselves to the creation of a wine of their own. While still maintaining grape sales to top wineries around the world, they brought award-winning winemaker Steve Millier aboard to launch Kautz wines, which would evolve into Ironstone Vineyards, a wine brand dedicated to the production of exceptional wines of unparalleled quality, outstanding value and everyday approachability.
In 1989, using dynamite, pick axes and shovels, a crew of miners carved through limestone and Calaveras Schist Rock on Gail's family ranch in Murphys, California and fashioned the site of Ironstone's wine aging caverns, which in the beginning, also served as the facility's first tasting room., Ironstone Wines and the Ironstone Winery have each grown and become famous in their own way. John, Gail and each of their four children - Stephen, Kurt, Jack, and Joan - remain actively involved in the growth of both the winery facility and the wine brand. View all Ironstone Wines
About Other CaliforniaView a map of Other California wineries
California has nearly 100 American Viticulture Areas (AVAs) and accounts for almost 90% of wine production in the United States. In our section of Other California, we include wines from smaller AVAs as well as wines from the California AVA. Here are a few smaller AVAs you may see on the label:
Livermore Valley AVA, located right outside of San Francisco and home to wineries such as Wente.
Lodi County AVA, an AVA further east of San Francisco and known for its excellent, old-vine Zinfandels.
San Francisco Bay AVA, a sprawling AVA that covers Contra Costa, Santa Clara and Santa Cruz counties, to name a few. Wine that holds only the California AVA is typically a wine that includes grapes from a number of different AVAs, which leads to the general labeling of the wine as California. This does not denote the quality of the wine, only the diversity of where the grapes originate.
About California
The most famous of the California wine regions is Napa Valley, and these wines are certainly outstanding – but it's not as broad and diverse as its larger neighbor, Sonoma County. Down south, Santa Barbara's Santa Maria Valley is well-known for its Rhône blends, as well as cool-climate varieties like Pinot and Chardonnay. The Central Coast, the largest California AVA, has many different microclimates that lead to a wide range of wines with many sub-AVAs.

Ok, so I am testing the security of one of my Windows XP machines with Nessus and Metasploit. I have Nessus 4.2 and Metasploit 3 installed on another XP machine. I have scanned the target computer and found a high-risk issue. I am now trying to use Metasploit to determine the problem as well as exploit with it (just to play around). However, I have run into a problem:
I have successfully connected to a database and imported a .nessus file. But when I type "db_hosts" to view the target host, there is no information. Therefore, I am not able to use db_autopwn to exploit. Can anybody help me?
I have been following a video. (YouTube - Owning with Nessus and Metasploit) I have done every step just as show without problems until I type "db_hosts". PLEASE HELP!!!!
Don't use the commandJust try to useCode:db_import_nessus_nbe /root/blabla.nessusCode:db_import /root/blabla.nessus
