Considering I don't believe this is a hugely covered topic I will allow it.
To be successful here you should read all of the following.
If you are new to Back|Track
Back|Track Wiki
Failure to do so will probably get your threads deleted or worse.
you could try using wvdial for that kind of connection.
you will need to make a config file that wvdial will use, it should look like the following:
just fill your settings accordingly and give it a go.Code:[Dialer Defaults] Init1 = ATZ Init2 = ATQ0 V1 E1 +FCLASS=0 Modem Type = USB Modem ISDN = 0 Phone = *99# Modem = /dev/ttyACM0 Username = ####### Password = ####### #Baud = 460800 Baud = 921600 DialCommand = ATDT FlowControl = NOFLOW Stupid Mode = 1 Init3 = AT+CGDCONT=1,"IP","internet"
right now i'm online via usb-gprs
p.s.: getting that info above just took 10 minutes of google-ing

I have had absolutely zero success using wicd to get online with my internal HS-USB WWAN modem.
As long as qcserial is not present, & no firmware handler available to load the firmware to the modem, which needs to be switched from USB Storage to USB Modem, my WWAN modem will not work at all...
Is there any plan to upgrade the kernel to 2.6.32 > ?
No amount of web-searching will rectify this issue until qcserial is included in the kernel.
I have a firmware loader app, I have the firmware, but I'm not going to compile the kernel on a netbook just to get up to date modules!
Perhaps there's a more recent kenel for BT 4 pre that I might be able to use?

A father, a daughter, a book
By Annie Lambert, email@example.com
A daughter and her father shared a lifelong love of reading, and she turned that experience into a career. Alice Ozma, author of "The Reading Promise: My Father and the Books We Shared," will tell her story at the University of South Carolina April 4.
Ozma's lecture, "Promises Made: How a Commitment to Reading Can Change Your Life," is at 7 p.m. in the Hollings Library. Her talk, which is free and open to the public, is the 28th annual Deans' and Directors' Lecture, hosted by USC's School of Library and Information Science in the College of Mass Communications and Information Studies.
In her book, Ozma tells the story of the 3,218 consecutive nights her father read to her, from the time she was in elementary school until she started college. The book was named to the bestseller lists for the Los Angeles Times, Barnes and Noble and Amazon Booksellers' Association.
Ozma graduated from Rowan University in New Jersey with high honors and is now the national manager of reading programs and events for Scholastic Book Fairs and serves on the board for the Young Friends of the Library System in Philadelphia.
The School of Library and Information Science's Deans' and Directors' Lecture honors the previous deans and directors of the school. An awards ceremony for outstanding students and the induction of new members into Beta Phi Mu, the national honor society in library and information science, will take place before the event.

Maya nearly perfect in Chiefs' win
Cuban righty yields one hit -- a solo homer -- in eight innings
By Robert Emrich / Special to MLB.com | July 27, 2012 7:43 PM ET
The Nationals farmhand retired his first 20 batters and allowed just one hit -- a solo homer -- over eight innings as the Triple-A Syracuse Chiefs edged the Rochester Red Wings, 2-1, at Frontier Field.
Maya (8-8) struck out five and was perfect until Chris Parmelee sent a 2-1 pitch over the right-field fence with two outs in the seventh. The ball barely eluded leaping right fielder Brett Carroll.
The 30-year-old right-hander set down the next four Red Wings and threw 95 pitches before exiting with knee soreness.
"He was just outstanding," Chiefs manager Tony Beasley said. "He had all his pitches working. He was painting a perfect picture of how you'd want a pitcher to go about attacking hitters and getting them out. The results were good."
"He really changed speeds well," Rochester manager Gene Glynn said. "He managed all his pitches. I think he was using four tonight -- two-seamer, four-seamer, a split, he had a nice slider at times. He just did a heckuva job."
There have been only five perfect games in IL history, with Columbus' Justin Germano pitching the most recent one on July 26, 2011 at Syracuse.
"Tonight was just one of those special nights," Beasley said. "I thought he had a legitimate chance. After he got to the seventh, I thought, 'He needs nine outs, he's got a shot.' He was getting quick outs and was getting them easy. Parmalee got the home run, but he's been swinging the bat really good. Every time he came up, I got nervous."
Maya had struggled this month, entering Friday's game with a 5.55 ERA and .316 opponents' average in four July starts. Overall, the Cuba-born hurler has a 3.76 ERA and 66 strikeouts over 127 innings.
"He's been pitching well. He's had an inning or two mid- to late-game where it would blow up on him, but overall, he's pitched well," Beasley said. "He's been consistent. He's just had an unfortunate inning. He's been pitching close ballgames all year long. He's been throwing the ball real well for us. "
Maya signed with the Nationals on July 31, 2010 and made five Minor League appearances before debuting with Washington on Sept. 7. He went 0-3 with a 5.88 ERA in five big league starts, then returned to Syracuse to begin the 2011 season. He was 1-1 with a 5.23 ERA in 10 games, including five starts, over three stints with the Nats last year.
Christian Garcia fanned two in a perfect ninth to notch his fifth save for the Chiefs.
Chad Tracy was 2-for-4 with an RBI and Jarrett Hoffpauir singled home a run for Syracuse. Eury Perez, the Nationals' No. 5 prospect, also had two hits and scored a run in his seventh game following a promotion from Double-A Harrisburg.
Red Wings starter Jeff Manship fell to 6-2, despite allowing two runs on six hits over six innings.

The ALL CITY Teen Poetry Slam Festival is an annual event organized by WordPlay Teen Writing Project, a division of Forward Arts, Inc. Since its inception in 2007, the ALL CITY Teen Poetry Slam Festival has exemplified the mission of WordPlay Teen Writing Project, which is to build literary culture and community among diverse teens through poetry workshops, spoken word events, publications and educator resources.

ALL CITY is a four day festival where teams of youth poets ages 13-19 participate in panel discussions, writing and performance workshops, community building activities, specialty open mic readings, and preliminary bouts (poetry slam competitions). The top scoring teams of the preliminary competitions advance to the Grand Slam Finals, where the winning team is crowned WordPlay ALL CITY Champions. A poetry slam is a fun and friendly poetry competition, in which judges hold up scores after each performance. Individual and group performances are scored and counted as the teams overall score. It is a powerful way to engage youth in writing, performance and positive self-expression. It is also, like a sporting event, a great way to bring together communities in safe spaces to celebrate youth voices

Annual Pigskin Pigout set for August 14July 30, 2010
Festivities will take place inside Boshamer Gymnasium
Brevard, N.C. - The Brevard College Athletic Department, in collaboration with Aramark, is hosting its Annual Pigskin Pig-out Fall Sports Kick-off on Saturday, August 14, at 6:30 p.m., inside Boshamer Gymnasium due to threat of inclement weather.
The Pigskin Pig-out is a great opportunity for fans of all ages to meet the 2010 football team, as well as the Brevard College athletic staff.
"The Pigskin Pig-outs in past years have been an enjoyable event for our players and staff," commented Head Football Coach Paul Hamilton. "The opportunity for our football team to share time together with family, friends and teammates has been a great experience. It is always a special event for our athletic program."
There will be several unique features to this year's Pigskin Pig-out as a live band will be providing entertainment throughout the evening with bluegrass hits and the Tornados Athletic staff will be giving out door prizes throughout the festivities. Coaches Paul Hamilton, Shigeyoshi Shinohara, Juan Mascaro and Brenda Skeffington will also be present as they talk about their upcoming seasons as the Tornados move into their third season as full members of the South Atlantic Conference.
Coach Hamilton had one final comment to make, "Community involvement is so important to the total development of our football program. The interaction between our players and various groups within the Transylvania County area has been so beneficial to their college and athletic experience. It is certainly a great opportunity for them to grow as individuals and give back to people that mean so much to Brevard College."
RSVP your tickets now by calling the BC Athletic Department at (828) 884-8276. Tickets are $10 in advance for adults or $15 to adults and $5 for students, with children 5 and under will be admitted free.

Any chance montauk will be as big as its reading for thursday? Charts are reading over 17 ft.
yep....ditch will be a washing machine.....
How confident are you about the forecasts for this weekend? Im trying to head north for the swell but not getting my hopes up just yet cause we all know it could change from "1 to 3 foot overhead" to "waist to chest" by friday
Get Out your Skis and tow boards! Nothing like 10 machines in the water at Turtles with no one that knows how to use them!
Albeit Laird gonna stop by too....not enough surf in Hawaii
I know the spot can hold it but do you think the charts will change. They rarely stay the same.
yes the charts will change, they always do. Generally, any forecast beyond 3 days is a crap shoot. Bottom line, wait until wed and make a decision based on the information this site and others provide.
Charts already changed to 1 to 3 foot over head and choppy conditions. The charts always over estimate a swell.

MY READING may not have picked up as measured by the number of pages, but last year I read more books than ever due to a careful strategy: short books.
With a few exceptions, the books I read in 2012 averaged 200 pages. Bravo for brevity.
That meant, of course, that I didn't read one of Ken Follett's 1,000-page historical novels, Haruki Murakami's 900-page "1Q84" or Victor Hugo's 1,500-page "Les Miserables," after which I might have lay miserable.
Nor did I read biographies of any presidents. They tend to run long. Robert Caro has published more than 3,000 pages on Lyndon Johnson, over the course of four books, and he's writing a fifth.
Is there a bio of William Henry Harrison, who was president for 32 days? That might be my speed.
Like President Harrison, who died a bare month into the job, I like getting in and getting out. In a column headlined "Getting on with it," Russell Baker once lamented: "Hardly anybody knows how to leave anything out anymore. The new idea is that if it doesn't take forever it can't be much good."
He wrote that in 1982, but it's just as true 30 years later.
Most of the best movies are 90 minutes. Remember 90-minute movies? Most are in black and white, which may or may not be a coincidence. Once they started filming in color, were directors so dazzled they forgot to yell "cut"? Now even comedies are two hours.
Rather than see "The Hobbit," which is almost three hours and will require two sequels to finish the story, I decided to rent Luis Bu?uel and Salvador Dali's 1929 surrealist classic "Un Chien Andalou," which cineastes are still talking about and which is a mere 17 minutes.
Bu?uel and Dali were strange, but they knew how to get on with it.
Of course, a meaty movie epic now and then can be thrilling. I love "Lawrence of Arabia" and I quite liked "Les Miserables" - even at 2 hours, 40 minutes, the story practically gallops along.
I fondly recall my reading of "Moby Dick," a 600-pager in which I lingered for weeks at the start of 2009.
Still, the most devastating book I read in 2012 was Elie Wiesel's "Night." If Wiesel can compress his Holocaust memoir into a stark 120 pages, well, that might be a lesson to windier writers to get on with it.
I'm not a fast reader, merely a dedicated one. I can read 15 pages on a lunch break and maybe a few more at dinner, a coffeehouse or (heh heh) the dull part of a city council meeting. This means I can finish a book every week or so, as long as the front and back covers aren't too far apart.
A week for a novel is about right. I like being able to finish a book while I can remember how it started.
With an occasional sprint, and by keeping a second book on my nightstand, every couple of weeks I can finish an extra one.
And so, with an almost laser-like focus on shorter books, in 2012 I read an even 80, the most books I've ever read in one year as an adult - even if, as I said earlier, the number of pages might be about the same as past years.
This is the age of Twitter. Writers need to get on with it.
Fiction, almost entirely, and rarely anything current. I finished the Sherlock Holmes series, read more of the Tarzan and Fu Manchu series, but also read some literary fiction and classics, and two books collecting newspaper columns by Mike Royko.
Among the best: "Starburst" by Alfred Bester, "The Pleasure of My Company" by Steve Martin (yes, that Steve Martin), "Last Night at the Lobster" by Stewart O'Nan, "Double Star" by Robert Heinlein and "At the Mountains of Madness" by H.P. Lovecraft.
I read or re-read five books by Ray Bradbury and eight by Harlan Ellison. One of Ellison's was 350 pages, but I read it anyway.
Philip K. Dick, the science fiction writer who was underappreciated before his 1982 death and now is considered a visionary, wrote three of the more astonishing books I read last year.
Among them was "The Man in the High Castle," set in a 1960s America in which the Axis powers won the war and divided our country among them - and that's just for starters. What else is it about? About 220 pages.
The literary novels I read included William Faulkner's "As I Lay Dying," full of bleak humor; John Steinbeck's almost biblical "Of Mice and Men"; and Italo Calvino's "If on a winter's night a traveler," each chapter the start of a novel that is never finished and the whole thing a sort of valentine to the act of reading.
Calvino's book was 260 pages, but since it was, in a way, the ultimate novel, I won't hold it against him.
One notable book of nonfiction was Peter Theroux's "Translating L.A.," a 1994 look at our neighbor to the west. I liked how he roamed into parts of the city that get less attention, like Watts and Long Beach. In the last chapter, he travels from L.A. to Riverside via Metrolink. I had meant to devote a column to this book, and may yet, but in case I don't, here it is.
I also read two light books with local connections: "The Mad Morality," on the hidden lessons embedded in Mad magazine, by a La Verne theology professor, the late Vernard Eller, and "Going Like Sixty," a look at aging by Richard Armour, a late but celebrated Claremonter.
Almost all the above were read the old-fashioned way, on paper, although I do own an e-reader and use it occasionally. A recent Pew Research report says 23 percent of Americans read an e-book in the past year, and I was among them.
Meanwhile, only 67 percent of American adults, down from 72 percent, read even one physical book.
I had to make up for a lot of laggards.
Eighty books may or may not seem like a lot. Charlie Fagan of La Verne told me he read 279 last year, up from 179 the previous year. It was sobering to realize the 100 additional books he squeezed in bested the entirety of my reading.
Also, in four years of dedicated reading, I've finished precisely 250 books: 58 in 2009, 52 in 2010, 60 in 2011 and 80 in 2012. Fagan had read 250 by late fall.
I have eyestrain just thinking about it. But Fagan, to his credit, is a man who knows how to get on with it.

A record number of people are being forced into special agreements with their banks and other creditors in a last-ditch bid to avoid bankruptcy as they struggle to repay debts.
Official figures from the federal government's insolvency department show the number of "debt agreements" reached the highest level ever in the December quarter last year.
Jason Porter, a bankruptcy specialist with accounting firm Pitcher Partners, said more and more low-income earners where getting into trouble with credit cards. "A lot it is stemming from unemployment where people rely on credit cards to get them through until they find a new job and the banks are pursuing them for recovery of that," Mr Porter said.
"It is not uncommon to see people with five or six credit cards and living off that, with anywhere between $5000 and $15,000 on each card and then it becomes unmanageable."
A debt agreement is a binding contract that can give creditors the right to take a portion of someone's pay cheque to repay debts, or even the proceeds from the sale of property or other assets.
It is usually an alternative to out- and-out bankruptcy for those who are struggling to repay debt.
According to Insolvency and Trustee Service Australia, a record 2510 debt agreements were signed in the December quarter of 2012.
"A lot more banks are selling off their debts to debt collectors and debt collectors are a lot more aggressive in pursuing borrowers," Mr Porter said.
"I think the tax man has also ramped up his collections. People are now trying to deal with their debts and avoid bankruptcy."
While the number of debt agreements soared, total bankruptcies fell by 6 per cent to 5,691 in the three months to December.
However, the proportion of bankruptcies that were business related was the second highest on record at 25 per cent.
Mr Porter said the high Australian dollar and weak consumer sentiment were taking a toll on small businesses in the retail and tourism sectors.
"Over the past six months of last year, business related bankruptcies were very high," he said.
"There are a lot of empty shops. A lot of retailers are very much struggling and tourism is very much struggling.
"Part of it is the strong dollar and the other part is the general mood in the economy, which makes people hang on to their money. They are not out there spending it on tourism and holidays and other discretionary spending. They are putting it into their savings accounts or paying off debt rather than on holidays."
New South Wales and Queensland had the highest number of bankruptcies.

Solving problems, changing lives
By Liz McCarthy, firstname.lastname@example.com, 803-777-2848
Paula had cerebral palsy making movement very difficult. Often, the staff at her care center would change the television channel to shows they preferred to watch, leaving Paula without a say.
That's where assistive technology came in. Carol Page and staff helped Paula find the perfect size remote control so that she could control the TV.
"The difference that made in her life when she could choose her own TV programs – I'll never forget that smile," Page said.
Paula's story is just one of many. The S.C. Assistive Technology Program, which Page directs through the School of Medicine, provides help to any person in South Carolina with a disability by finding technology solutions for many obstacles.
In the program's resource center there are toys to help children with literacy problems, books with sponges on the corners to help individuals who cannot turn pages, forks and spoons with modifications for individuals with motor control problems and of course, computers and software for a variety of disabilities.
Assistive technology can be anything from complex software or specialty computers to modified, everyday household items, essentially anything that will improve, increase or maintain functional capabilities. And Page and her team help individuals with disabilities pinpoint what can make their lives easier.
"It's really all about inclusion," Page said, pointing out a device that reads aloud the content on a storybook page. "This might be for a child that would not be included in a reading circle or reading activity, but using small devices like this, they would have the opportunity to be a part of something they might have been excluded from in the past."
Mary Alice Bechtler, program coordinator, became fascinated with assistive technology because of how someone with a really severe disability could find a device to help them and change their life, she said.
"It's a lot of fun when someone comes in with a problem, you're able to help them out and they leave with a smile on their face or with some hope that they might not have had before," Bechtler said. "Sometimes it's something simple. We find some simple way for them to do something – to open a jar – that they couldn't do before -- the things that we take for granted that some people thought they would never be able to do again. "
Sometimes individuals will come to the program looking for complicated technology -- a specialized keyboard, for example – but with Page and Bechtler's help brainstorming solutions, they may leave with a much simpler (and less expensive) device – a typing aid, for example.
"It's a lot of brainstorming and saying, 'we've got this. Do you think this will work?' It's not a, 'you've got this disability. We'll prescribe this, good-bye.' It's definitely about working together to see what's going to work for the person and to see what the person is willing to use," Bechtler said.
The program will help about 500 individuals per year through demonstrations and consultations and will loan about 1,000 pieces of equipment. In the one to two hour consultations, Page and Bechtler will brainstorm technology and solutions that will help each individual's specialized needs.
"There are no standardized tests for assistive technology," Page said.
Bechtler said the field of assistive technology continues to change as more people use technology.
"Assistive technology used to be sold through medical catalogues and specialty catalogues, but now we're finding we are using a lot of stuff that you can get from Amazon," Bechtler said.
Classrooms with iPads, for example, mean that students who need communication devices can have an app installed on the iPad, "so they all look the same but how they use the iPad can be very different for the kids with disabilities," Page said.
And sometimes Page and Bechtler are able to brainstorm entirely new devices. One patient was unable to use a regular computer mouse, so Page fashioned a device using a plastic box from the Dollar Store and a sponge to provide a larger surface area for the patient to hit the mouse button.
"Because someone can't do something doesn't mean that there's not a way that they eventually can do something," Bechtler said. "If you can't write, or you can't type or you can't speak, there may be a way that you can with assistive technology."

with two separate counts under the Uniform Code of Military Justice: one encompassing the eight alleged criminal offenses, and a second detailing four non-criminal violations of Army regulations governing the handling of classified information and computers.
The biggest criminal charge facing Manning is violation of provisions with the Espionage Act, 18 U.S.C. 793(e). While passing confidential information to foreign governments can carry the death penalty under that act, in this case it was deemed that the information passed was to an unauthorized third-party, not a foreign nation. Sources say those charges could carry a sentence of 50 to 70 years in prison -- a sentence which could potentially be shortened for cooperation or good behavior.
has received information from a high ranking Department of Defense source involved with the the investigation, claiming that they had received no contact from attorneys retained and hired by the site that Manning allegedly leaked to --
. This contradicts previous reports.
chief Julian Assange
had previously
that his efforts were rebuffed by U.S. government officials, a claim the DoD source states is believed to be false.
Manning will face a UCMJ Article 32 hearing, similar to one by a US grand jury. That hearing will end with a recommendation by the principal investigator as to whether to subject Manning to court martial and punishment.
has been extensively reporting on the situation, since
Manning's arrest in May
. Manning had allegedly leaked a pair of gun cam videos of helicopter attacks which killed civilians in 2007 and 2009. He also may have leaked other smaller, less consequential documents. However, the leak that ultimately proved his undoing was his decision to allegedly release 260,000 classified U.S. embassy cables. On those cables he remarked, " Hilary Clinton, and several thousand diplomats around the world are going to have a heart attack."
That leak
compelled ex-hacker Adrian Lamo
whom Manning bragged of his crimes to, to turn the young man over to the Department of Defense.
Public reaction on the incident has been mixed, as evidenced by the comments received here at
. Some accuse the U.S. Armed Forces of a vast conspiracy to cover up its wrongdoing, and call Manning a martyr for a cause.
Others state that Manning lost any credibility as a legitimate whistleblower when he released the embassy cables, which he did not fully review. They point out that while the gun cam release might be whistleblowing -- akin to releasing corporate documents indicting individuals in your company in criminal activity -- that the following release amounted to a direct attack on an organization, not whistleblowing. They say that act would be akin to leaking your company's entire server records, including information on pending intellectual property.
Likewise the coverage on the issue has been sharply divided.
have published criticism of
' and Manning's actions, while
have taken a sympathetic stance.
journalist Glenn Greenwald even went as far as to
post to Twitter
that he was having difficulty overcoming his "blinding contempt " of Lamo's actions, illustrating his clear bias.
The issue has been a serious one for all involved. It has led to Lamo receiving death threats and becoming a reviled figure in the hacking community. It obviously threatens to take away the freedom of Bradley Manning. For the U.S. government it marks an embarrassing breach in information. And for
it threatens the site's very existence.
has gained much publicity for leaking a variety of documents -- from documents indicting Kenyan officials on corruption to
European banking documents
-- its bread and butter has been leaking U.S. information. Over two thirds of its pages either target the U.S. or its close ally Iraq. That has led some to less than charitably question whether the site is behaving as a hostile foreign intelligence agency. The site does not disclose its funding sources, other than to say funding comes from anonymous donors.
Site founder Julian Assange, a convicted hacker who has expressed anarchistic leanings in his past publications, has not made clear why his site primarily targets the U.S., disproportionately with respect to our nation's GDP and military spending levels. He also has become increasingly fearful of U.S. retaliation in recent years, moving around the world, reportedly at great expense to the site.
As of last week
' secure server system -- its backbone --
was dead
, essentially rendering the page useless for leaking purposes. The site has not published a leaked document in four months, but Assange is reportedly crafting a followup video to "Collateral Murder" about the 2009 airstrike.
"When an individual makes a copy of a song for himself, I suppose we can say he stole a song." -- Sony BMG attorney Jennifer Pariser

The Conference on English Leadership originated in 1968 as the Conference for Secondary School English Department Chairpersons (CSSEDC). CSSEDC was originally formed as a conference devoted initially to concerns of secondary school English Department chairmen, . There is a process that takes time to form a national organization therefore, in 1970 CSSEDC became a constitutional committee of the National Council of Teachers of English.
Although CSSEDC started out as a conference devoted to concerns of secondary school English Department chairmen, CSSEDC gradually has broadened its service and its membership to include persons responsible for total English language arts programs in local school districts. The conference welcomes not only department heads, but such persons as language arts coordinators, supervisors, consultants, resource teachers, principals, coordinators, directors of instruction and others.
In 1991 the CSSEDC changed its name to the Conference on English Leadership (CEL). CEL welcomes the involvement of all persons who share leadership concerns and who wish to work with others to seek solutions to problems and to share their special insights with others.
Published four times a year, the English Leaderhip Quarterly is an aspect of membership which provides both a service and a forum for members' views. Articles, news, reviews, and topical inserts suited to filing and retention for later reference--all are designed in view of the busy lives of local district leaders of English language arts programs. Interested in writing for the English Leadership Quarterly?
CEL holds its annual meetings immediately following the NCTE Annual Convention in November of each year. However, the CEL High Tea event is held on Saturdays during the NCTE Annual Convention. Because the target audience is relatively small, the conference enrolls from 150-250 persons and provides a person-to-person atmosphere, a sense of involvemtn, and clear opportunity to interact directly with experts in subject matter and topics touching the processes of leadership.
Membership into CEL is $25. That's in addition to the cost of the NCTE membership. Individuals receive the CEL English Leadership Quarterly, have the opprotunity to participate in the program of the Annual Meeting, be involved in the governance of the Conference and be eligible to call on other members for help and advice. Membership in NCTE is a prerequisite to voting membership on CEL.

NFL Draft Story Central
New Orleans Saints
2013 draft picks: 1st round (15), 3(75), 4(109), 5(144), 6(183)
At least the Saints are getting back their coach Sean Payton. It was a semi-boring off-season for New Orleans. They did lose offensive tackle Jermon Bushrod in free agency, a pretty solid tight end in Dave Thomas and a good backup linebacker in Jonathan Casillas.
But they did upgrade the backup quarterback position with Luke McCown and Senecca Wallace.
The biggest move they made was bringing in Rob Ryan as their defensive coordinator. New Orleans will move from a 4-3 to a 3-4 defense. They don't exactly have the right personnel but did make some moves in the off-season by signing defensive linemen Kenyon Coleman and Victor Butler. The Saints got some secondary help with the addition of cornerback Keenan Lewis and safety Jim Leonhard. They will have to address this side of the ball in the draft. Problem is they only have five selections and none in the second round.
Draft Needs
1) Outside Linebacker
The Saints are in the No. 15 hole and they are praying a pass rushing outside linebacker falls to that spot in the first round. Players like Jarvis Jones and Barkevious Mingo seem to be two players that would be ideal for Ryan's defense. But there's a strong chance those guys are gone. So to would be Dion Jordan and Ezekiel Ansah. It wouldn't surprise me at all to see the Saints trade out of that spot if a pass rusher is not available. Plus, they could gain another pick or two. They could try and get an OLB/DE later in the draft.
2) If New Orleans stands pat and the pass rushers are off the board the draft's top safety should still be there. That would be Kenny Vaccaro. He would be an ideal pick for the Saints here and feel a big need.
3) Defensive Tackle
Flipping the switch from a 4-3 to a 3-4 isn't as easy as it sounds. It takes time and the correct personnel. New Orleans would love to draft a big bodied nose tackle and a defensive tackle that would fit the five-technique on this front. They need to build depth here.
4) Offensive Tackle
Drew Brees is still one of the elite players and quarterbacks in the NFL and you better protect his blind slide. Say what you want about Bushrod but he was the Saints left tackle and now he's gone. Somewhere in the draft they need to find a tackle that can contribute to this unit.
Key Acquisitions
Luke McCown (QB)
Senneca Wallace (QB)
Ben Watson (TE)
Jason Smith (OT)
Kenyon Coleman (DL)
Victor Butler (DE/OLB)
Jim Leonhard (S)
Keenan Lewis (CB)
No Longer With The Team

You mean Michael Jordan doesn't really like Hanes tagless undies?
I tend to think that there is no replacement for displacement and probably never will be, but like the tige, this nautty device seems to do more than just swap the wave. seems to try to clean it up and extend it. that's the next trinket I'll be looking for as I think surfboats will always need weight of some kind.
I hope skiers is really working on a true surf hull.
like mentioned on another forum, you used to go buy a comp boat, then a wakeboard boat, but now it's a wakesurf boat and that's what's needed..
as far as pro's endorsing products, I don't put a whole lot of weight in ANYONE that's getting either paid or endorsed to talk about their own product and what are the odds of a enzo-sponsored rider saying that the cc is the best wave they have surfed:)
And on that note, could it be said that Nautique is the only company out with a wake boat with the enhancement directly effecting the flow of water thru the hull vs after it? Hydrogate does this. I think they are about as close as it gets so far to wake being directly effected by the hull shape.
I guess my point in all that rambling, and the real take away on my opinion is that these enhancements are the future of surf innovation. They will progressively get better until each brand figures out what it believes in the most and soon they will all be equipped standard, just like the wake plates hanging off the rear for 90% of our boats.
The great (and scary) thing about marketing is that its not necessarily about what the consumer wants, its about making the consumer think they want something....and whomever sponsors an event year after year will see their equipment being used and will be known as "the best", and for some unknown reason, people seem to think that it actually is the best....I fall for it, so do many. Innovation is what is needed. Let it happen and decide for yourselves whether it is the right thing for you, don't bash it....I personally don't believe in coloring within the lines...

text: OK Magazine who regularly reports that Jennifer Aniston is pregnant says in their new issue that Eva Mendes is seven months pregnant with the baby of Ryan Gosling. They also say that Ryan doesn't want to get married even though Eva does. This is a great story and if it was anyone but OK! I would be all over it and believe it. I just have a tough time when they regularly have Jen on their covers announcing she is pregnant or having twins or adopting. They will do anything to get her on the cover. Hey, I hope they are right and if they are, then congrats to Eva and Ryan and don't worry about those couple of flings he had. I'm sure he is committed. To the baby at least. I also have to give them kudos for keeping it a secret for seven months.

Report: Iran Supplying Weapons to Gaza, but Not to Hamas (INN) ISRAEL NATIONAL NEWS) By Elad Benari, Canada 03/30/12)
Source: http://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/154331#.T3YSbmGO2So
INN} ISRAEL NATIONAL NEWS Articles-Index-Top
The affair between the Hamas terror group and Iran may be over, but the Islamic Republic is still supplying weapons to Gaza, according to Amir Rapaport of the Israel Defense website.
In a report Friday, Rapaport noted that the root of the conflict between the terror group and Iran lies with Syria.
Iran and Hamas reached a point of conflict following Hamas unwillingness to support Bashar al-Assads actions against his own people, wrote Rapaport, also noting how Hamas has even begun to fold in on itself in Syria.
The conflict between the parties revealed that the coordination that lasted several years between the two was not based on true love, but rather, a scorching hatred for Israel, wrote Rapaport. As a matter of fact, the people belonging to Hamas and Iran hate one another, primarily due to profound religious differences (the Iranian regime belongs to the Shiite faction of Islam, whereas Hamas is a devout Sunni movement).
One of the ways the tension between Hamas and Iran is expressed, according to Rapaport, is in the fact that the Islamic Republic has not only completely halted funding to Hamas, but has also halted its supply of weapons to the terror group.
However, he noted, Iran is still supplying weapons to Gaza. The weapon arsenal it sends to the Gaza Strip is intended solely for the Palestinian Islamic Jihad and to organizations such as the Popular Resistance Committees, explained Rapaport. In return for their support, the organizations are asked to fire at Israel on occasion, such as in the southern round of fire from two weeks ago, and in the next round, which will probably happen soon.
As far as Hamas is concerned, Rapaport noted, this is not a glorious period. He said that after the impressive accomplishment of the release of prisoners in the Gilad Shalit deal, the organization sunk into a difficult period, losing its popularity in Gaza to the Islamic Jihad, and finding it difficult to raise its head in Judea and Samaria.
It is in this sector that Israel and the Palestinian Authority continue close intelligence cooperation intended to stop Hamas from organizing, he wrote.
A recent expression of the tense relations with Iran was reflected in remarks recently made by a senior Hamas official, who claimed the terror group will not do Iran´s bidding in any war with Israel.
Salah Bardawil, a member of Hamas political bureau, said, If there is a war between two powers, Hamas will not be part of such a war.
Hamas leader Mahmoud al-Zahar later sent two different signals, when he was asked whether the group would attack Israel if it launches a pre-emptive strike on Irans nuclear facilities.
He first denied the group would get involved and told the BBC, We are not part of any political axis. If Israel attacks us we will respond. If they don´t, we will not get involved in any other regional conflict.
He later denied he made those remarks and told the semi-official Iranian Fars news agency the BBC report was unfounded and a lie.
Retaliation with utmost power is the position of Hamas with regard to a Zionist war on Iran, al-Zahar told the Iranian Fars news agency.
Al-Zahar recently visited Iran, where he met the head of Iran´s supreme national security council, Saeed Jalili, and the speaker of Iran´s parliament, Ali Larijani. (IsraelNationalNews © 2012 03/30/12)

Yeah I have similar problem. Anybody know the solution?
i have a notebook Acer Travelmate 2490 with a Broadcom BCM4318 Wireless
So far everything seems to work fine. I installed BT2 on a small partition beside my WinXP partition.
I have eth0 and eth1 devices (& iwconfig says eth0 is the wireless nic).
After changing my wireless router settings (D-Link DI-524) to WEP security (previously WPA-PSK) i even surfed the internet (very slow, but it worked).
I changed it to WEP, coz the "Wireless Assistant 0.5.5" seems to support only WEP. (or am i wrong?)
For security reasons i want the WPA-PSK setting, so what can i do?
After a lot of searching&browsing i have 2 more specific questions:
Do I need wpa_supplicant for Backtrack2 to get WPA working?
Do I need Ndiswrapper+driver files for Backtrack2 to get WPA working?
Tried both, but got lost in the config files.
Please help and gimme a hint in the right direction...
Thx in advance! (&excuse my bad english)
Yeah I have similar problem. Anybody know the solution?
check out my thread about this
cant post urls
its called "Z-Com and WPA"
Dont help me.
In the script you use wpa_supplicant but i dont find it on my laptop?
rename it to wpa_supplicant.tgz
in your command prompt type installpkg wpa_supplicant.tgz
Thx it worked.
I tried "make install" before, but with "installpkg" it worked.
Now i am connected to my AP (device=wext).
BUT i cant ping anyone in the network or the internet (even the "connected" AP isnt pingable).
And another question: when i use "iwconfig" it says that the device is at 11Mbit/s speed, but it should be 54 MBit/s. Where do i change the speed setting?
Can anyone help out again?
Thx in advance (and thx Baxter for the installpkg tip).
im not sure why you cant ping the ap but if you want to change your rate from 11mb to 54mb try
iwconfig wlan0 rate 54M
my interface is wlan0 but you use whatever yours is.should work for ya, works for me.

iPad vs 27" iMac
If this article is accurate, then I may have to buy an iPad - I create digital artwork, and most of the time digital art looks better in print because of the amount of dots per inch is far greater in printing, but that completely negates the beauty of create artwork as points of light. This screen would bridge that divide for me - finally I'll be able to display my art as it was intended!
I may have to buy an iPad, finally.
"the iPad 3 screen is believed to be the same size as the iPad 2 but have twice the density of pixels. "
Bzzzt. Quadruple the density, if density = pixels per unit area. Twice the pixels per dimension (x & y).
A 300dpi TV is pointless as you're a great enough distance away when sitting on your sofa to not see the pixels.
Can I get an upgrade to my retina to go with the iPad 3 ?? (or a youth pill .. )
I can't see pixels on the iPad 2 even with my glasses on!
Is it just me, or is this the worst info graphic ever?! Looks more like a PSD template for creating a twitter background. They could have incorporated for relevant facts on iPad evolution or something.
Still functional to show the added pixels buttttttttttt, I don't know if I'd called this an "info graphic"
iPad 3 will most probably have a larger battery and higher capacity. Just read an analytic post on some leaked iPad 3 parts

Pour melted candy into center of pan cavity. Tap pan gently on counter to eliminate bubbles. Candy should be about 1/8 to 1/4 in. thick.
Place pan in refrigerator for approximately 10-15 minutes until firm (check occasionally, if coating becomes too chilled it will crack).
Unmold onto hand or soft towel (tap gently, if necessary).
Print message, if desired, on top with melted candy in a cut disposable bag. Add a molded candy piece to convey a specific theme.

…And that message is, "I'm the boss, and don't you forget it." After all, anyone can wear a tee shirt or cap bearing the company name, and we encourage them to! That is why we urge you to personalize items like those for your employees. But only the owner of the company, and perhaps a few on his executive team, can wear custom fleece jackets – and that alone shows people who is in charge around here.
With imprinted fleece jackets from Eddie Bauer, Ogio or Port Authority, you and the most elite among your staff can look a cut above the rest of the company – and there's nothing wrong with that, right? You've worked hard to get where you are, and it is important to wear something that shows young, inexperienced staff members who the boss is. Call it "wardrobe intimidation" if you want; we just call it good management!
Of course, this custom outer wear is also a practical marketing tool. You can wear your promotional fleece jackets around town, and instantly be recognized as the local expert in your field. Imagine this: You make your morning breakfast stop wearing one of the personalized fleece jackets you purchased to promote your business. There, you will no doubt encounter an assortment of local retirees, city council members, police officers and other influential community members (it's no secret that this is the early morning coffee shop crowd).
As you sit at the counter, one of them taps you on the shoulder and asks, "Is that your business?" Recognizing that it was your imprinted fleece jacket that tipped him off, you smile warmly and confidently answer, "Yes."
"We're always looking for guys who do what you do," he replies. "You have a card?"
Of course you do! And you hand it over. Just like that, wearing custom fleece jackets has made you a mobile advertisement for your company.
Promotional fleece jackets have made that scenario happen for countless business owners, and they can do it for you, too. Take a look at our selection of them now; you're sure to find one that fits your style and company image.

Since yesterday only half of the class could fit on the boat, today the other half took the trip out to Gaulin Reef. Unfortunately, one person got a little sea sick…but luckily recovered later in the day. The group saw a tiger grouper, a six foot wide southern sting ray, a two foot long Caribbean Spiny lobster, and its molt because it had recently molted.
After the snorkel trip, Edbert, the boat captain, took the group to Catto Cay to see nesting brown boobies, noddy turns, sooty turns, and sally lightfoot crabs. While this part of the class was gone, others stayed at the station and worked on miscellaneous tasks to finish up research or ventured out to North Point to collect more data.
The class reunited at lunch over burgers, fries, pasta salad, and jello. For the afternoon, we all worked on gathering more data and finishing up our research. Groups headed to Sand Dollar, Bonefish Bay, Singer's Point, and North Point, while a few students stayed at the GRC. After returning to the station, everyone showered and enjoyed some down time until our exciting evening activity.
Tonight there was no class…but typical Bahamian food. Instead of more lectures, the professors took us to the local bar, the Short Stop, to enjoy a meal cooked by a couple of local ladies. We had fish, conch fritters, peas and rice, macaroni and cheese, coleslaw, and guava duff. This was a much appreciated change of pace.
After dinner, some headed back to the GRC while others stayed for a while to mingle and play card games. All in all today was another sandy, hot, and sweaty day here on San Sal. Everyone is starting to get mixed feelings about leaving our home away from home for our real homes. 3 DAYS. Bahama <3.

Cycling competes at North Georgia College and StateMarch 7, 2009
Weather forces many riders off the road; Perry sticks it out for first win
Dahlonega, Ga. - The Tornados cycling team opened the season this past weekend at North Georgia College and State and both the men's and women's teams fought both the other teams at the meet and the weather in their first action of the 2009 spring season.
Heavy rain and cold weather greeted the field on Saturday as the teams battled in a time trial. However, in spite of the conditions, the men's A team, consisting of Matt St. Marie, Tristan Cowie, Marshal Hartley, and Matt Wells finished the 14-mile race third overall, while the women's team blew away the field in winning their portion of the event.
On Sunday, the weather continued to wreak havoc on the field snow and hail fell throughout the day, forcing many riders to abandon the course. Of the more than 30 starters in the men's A race, only five were able to finish. Hartley was the last Tornado among the remaining ones in the race and was in the lead break when a mechanical issue forced him to retire.
In the men's C race, only James Chaput was able to finish for Brevard as similar numbers abandoned due to the inclement weather.
On the women's side of the draw, Julia Tellman was forced out of the women's A race due to mechanical issues. Jami Perry pulled out the win in her first collegiate cycling race as she was the lone rider able to battle the elements and the course to finish.
The Brevard cycling team will head back to the road on Saturday and Sunday, March 7th and 8th as they travel to Clemson, S.C.
