Columbia, S.C. - The Tornados picked up a pair of non-conference victories as they took down the Columbia College Fighting Koalas in a twinbill at Sutton Softball Field on Wednesday evening. Brevard took the opener 6-3, and despite five errors, won game two 10-9.
The Tornados moved to 23-8 on the season while the Koalas are now 6-20.
Game One: Brevard 6, Columbia 3
Box Score
Brevard opened the scoring right out of the gate in the top of the first when Brittany Fowler (Waterloo, Ontario, CANADA) drew a leadoff walk. Kayla Dorsey (West Palm Beach, Fla.) moved Fowler to second with a sacrifice bunt. Kayla Clemens (Sebring, Fla.) came to the plate with two-outs and hit a single to left centerfield bringing Fowler around to score the first run of the game, making it 1-0 in favor of Brevard.
The Koalas return-fired in the bottom-half of the first when Brittany Koester doubled to left field, and was later brought home when Kacie Davenport traded places with her teammate. Davenport roped a double to right centerfield to bring in Koester, tying things up at one run a piece.
Brevard was able to regain the lead in the third when they struck for a run. Chelsi Mallory (Mechanicsville, Va.) led off the inning with a double to right centerfield. Dorsey moved Mallory to third on a sacrifice bunt, bringing Becca Curlee (Eagle River, Alaska) to the plate. Curlee hit a fly ball to deep left field, though it was caught, Mallory was able to tag up at third and score, putting Brevard up 2-1.
Columbia struck again in the fourth wit a pair of runs. After two quick outs, Sarah Gibson was hit by a pitch bringing Brittany Barr to the plate. Barr smoked a two-run homer off of the scoreboard in centerfield to give Columbia a 3-2 lead heading into the fifth.
The Tornados were quick to respond as Mallory evened things up in the fifth when she hit a solo homer to lead-off the inning. It was Mallory's team leading fifth homer, as she made it 3-3. Sarah Carlos (Eagle River, Alaska) did her best to help the cause by hitting a two-out triple but was left stranded.
Brevard jumped back on top in the sixth when they touched starter, Alexis Lucas for three runs. Emily Boykin (Chapel Hill, N.C.) led off the inning with a single back up the middle. Meredith Davenport (High Point, N.C.) moved Boykin to second with a sacrifice bunt, and Fowler put Boykin on third with a fly out in the next at-bat. Dorsey was next up and drew a walk. After intentionally walking Mallory, the Koalas had to deal with bases loaded and the Tornados' clean-up hitter, Clemens, at the plate. Clemens ripped a single through the right side bringing in Boykin and Dorsey, putting Brevard up 5-3. Curlee was next to the plate and she came through driving one through the left side, scoring Mallory from second. Curlee's RBI single gave BC a 6-3 lead heading into the bottom of the sixth inning.
Martika Elmore (Fayetteville, N.C.) picked up her 12th win of the season after surrendering three runs on five hits in seven innings of work for the Tornados. Elmore struck out nine and is now 12-5 on the season. Lucas was charged with the loss after allowing six runs on nine hits in 5.2 innings of work for the Fighting Koalas.
At the plate, Brevard was led by Clemens who was 2-for-3 with three RBI in the win. Mallory added a multi-hit day going 2-for-3 with her fifth home run of the season. Fowler and Carlos each had two hits in the Tornados victory.
Game Two: Brevard 10, Columbia 9
Box Score
Columbia was first to strike in the nightcap of the twinbill as Alyssa Miller (Davie, Fla.) walked in a run in the bottom of the first inning, scoring Brittany Koester. The Tornados trailed 1-0 after an inning of play.
The Tornados struck back right away as Curlee was able to get on with a one-out single through the left side. Carlos was hit by a pitch moving Curlee to second. Brittany Jones (Fort Mill, S.C.) reached on a fielder's choice and Carlos was out at second. Jones' fielder's choice moved Curlee to third. Boykin was next to the plate. Boykin slugged a two-run double over the head of the left fielder, putting Brevard up 2-1 as they went into the bottom half.
The Tornados added to their lead in the third. Davenport led off the inning by reaching on a fielding error. Fowler was next up and she had a bunt single. With runners at first and second, Dorsey laid down a sacrifice bunt, bringing Mallory to the plate. Mallory hit a shallow fly ball to right field. The Koalas' second baseman ranged back to haul in the ball, but was unable to throw out Davenport at home giving Brevard a 3-1 lead. Clemens roped a single in the next at-bat bringing Fowler into score and putting BC up 4-1.
The Koalas picked up a run in the third when the Tornados committed a pair of errors, bringing home one run for Columbia, making it 4-2 in favor of Brevard.
Boykin added an RBI in the top of the fourth scoring Jones on a single to deep left centerfield, making it 5-2.
The Koalas took advantage of two BC errors in the bottom of the fourth and scored three unearned runs to tie things up at five runs a piece.
Brevard rallied together with two outs to regain the lead in the top of the fifth. Clemens roped a double down the right field line. Curlee was hit by a pitch in the next at-bat, which brought Carlos to the plate for the Tornados. Carlos singled up the middle, bringing Clemens in from second, giving Brevard a 6-5 edge. Following the single by Carlos, Jones drew a walk, loading the bases. Boykin drew another walk, making it 7-5. Davenport stepped into the batter's box and hit a grounder towards short. With the throw on target it looked as though the inning would come to a close, however the first baseman couldn't handle the throw bringing in two more unearned runs, giving Brevard a 9-5 lead.
Koester drove a three run homer to dead centerfield in the bottom of the fifth, bringing Columbia within one, as they trailed the Tornados 9-8. A pair of singles and a walk helped the Koalas bring home another in the fifth as they tied it up 9-9.
Mallory gave Brevard the lead back again in the sixth when she hit her second home run of the doubleheader. Mallory's long ball was her sixth of the season and it gave BC a 10-9 lead.
Miller was the starter for Brevard and lasted five innings. She was touched for nine runs, four earned as she picked up her 10th win of the season. Miller is now 10-3 on the season. Elmore entered the game in the sixth for Brevard, and struck out four in a two-inning save. It was her first save of the season. Brittany Barr was the starter for Columbia. She lasted all seven and surrendered 10 runs, seven earned. Barr fell to 3-10 on the season.
Offensively, the Tornados exploded for 10 runs on 11 hits with Boykin leading the way. She was 3-for-3 with four RBI, while Mallory went 1-for-3 with a homer. Davenport added a multi-hit game with a pair of RBI in the nightcap.
The Tornados are back in action on Saturday, March 26th when they play host to the Catawba Indians for a South Atlantic Conference doubleheader at the Brevard College Softball Field. First pitch of the opener is set for 1 p.m.

It's not every day that you get to personally thank someone for saving your life.
But Thursday was the day for Ethel Cungious, who surprised the crowd at Lakewood's 34th Award of Valor luncheon as she approached the stage to thank her co-worker Elisah Hollens and paramedics for saving her life last February.
"I have been waiting for this so long ... to be here and to see them and thank them for saving my life. ... There is nothing I can say but thank you," she said. "(Elisah) is the best. That was our first day working together. I had just met her."
Hollens and Cungious, both licensed vocational nurses, had only met four hours earlier that day in February when they were taking a walk during lunch with young twins they were caring for.
"I usually took that walk every day. It's about a six-mile walk," Cungious said.
Ironically, Cungious asked Hollens if she was up to it, she said.
After lunch, Cungious became short of breath, and soon after went into cardiac arrest. Hollens, who had taken the recertification CPR course only two weeks before, immediately began CPR.
"(CPR) had kind of changed a little bit," Hollens said. "They emphasized more chest compressions, faster, harder, and it all came right to me.
"She needed me - we're nurses, that's what we do."
For their actions, Hollens and local paramedics were given the Mayor's Award.
"She's a wonderful person. There is no amount of money that you can give to thank a person for saving your life," Cungious said, tears streaming down her cheeks. "I'm indebted to her for the rest of my life."
Stories of bravery and heroism were numerous as recipients were recognized for saving lives and protecting the property of fellow neighbors throughout the city.
"Men and women in public safety could not get their work done to the highest level possible if it were not for a community there for support," said Los Angeles County Sheriff Lee Baca. "I'm always amazed at what citizens, law enforcement and firefighters can do when there's this element of trust and cooperation - that we are able to work closely together to solve some very difficult problems as they emerge."
Residents Virginia Martinez, Karen Lutz, Brian Thatcher and Richard Dykens all notified police when their neighbors' homes were about to be or were being robbed. Others saved lives and detained criminals until police arrived.
"I just want our neighborhood to be safe for my children and for everybody else's children,"Martinez said.
In all, 24 people were given one of the following: the Award of Valor, given to public safety personnel for courageous actions or command of a life-threatening situation; or the Distinguished Service Award for outstanding career achievements; the Mayor's Award to residents who assisted public safety officials in performance of their duties; the Community Service Award to volunteers who helped improve the city's public safety; or the Dave Powell Community Policing Award, given in memory of a fallen officer, to a deputy who embodies the goals of community-oriented policing.
"One thing that becomes entirely clear to everyone in this room is, don't mess around with Lakewood residents when it comes to looking out for their neighbors," said Mayor Diane DuBois. "Our residents are looking out for each other and they will find you if you try to commit residential burglary in this town. Go ahead, make my day."

The Subaru Forester has always been a great compromise between the practicality of a small hatchback or station wagon and the capabilities of an SUV. The Forester comes standard with all-wheel-drive, unlike most of its competition. Base-model Foresters perform similarly to competitors from Ford and Mazda, while turbocharged versions offer significantly more power, resulting in surprisingly sprightly performance. On-road handling is also a step above what is generally offered in this segment. The Forester starts at just over $22,000.
Compare the 2016 Subaru Forester against similar models
2016 sees the introduction of Subaru's STARLINK system, providing hands free connectivity and entertainment systems. Practically speaking, this means an improved stereo across the entire Forester line, along with a suite of optional safety features. Premium, Limited and Touring trims are now available with the STARLINK Safety Plus package, which includes emergency assistance, roadside assistance and a diagnostics system. A plus version of the same package adds a stolen vehicle recovery system, a vehicle locator and remote locking and unlocking functions.
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 pictures of the 2016 Subaru Forester. Select the picture you want to view below
Below are the available colors for the 2016 Subaru Forester. Select the color to see a close-up view.
The Subaru Forester is a well-known compact crossover utility vehicle with all-wheel drive. It is Subaru's bestselling model. The Forester looks and feels more like a wagon than an SUV; in fact, the Forester pretty much invented the crossover. It adds practicality and versatility to its rugged all-weather capability. It can carry five people and their bags, if not all their back-country gear. There's a roof rack for that. It will even tow a small trailer.
Competitors include the Mazda MX-5, Ford Escape, Honda CR-V, Nissan Rogue, and Toyota RAV4; but, ironically, its main competition might be the Subaru Impreza XV Crosstrek.
The base Forester 2.5i is powered by a 170-horsepower, 2.5-liter H4 (horizontally opposed cylinders, also called a boxer engine). The faster Forester 2.0XT is powered by a 2.0-liter boxer, turbocharged direct-injection, making 250 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque.
Forester 2.5i is one of the few compact crossovers that you can get with a 6-speed manual transmission, but most opt for the CVT. Forester 2.0XT only comes with a CVT.
For 2016, Forester gets few changes: some additions to security and infotainment, enhancements to the system Subaru calls Starlink. This generation of the Forester was completely redesigned for the 2014 model year.
Forester is an IIHS Top Safety Pick+. In the NHTSA crash tests it got five stars in every category but frontal impact, where it got four. Its EPA fuel mileage of 24/32/27 mpg City/Highway/Combined is at the top of the compact crossover class.
Forester 2.5i comes standard with manual transmission ($22,395). Standard equipment includes rearview camera, 6.2-inch touchscreen, Bluetooth hands-free calling, and audio streaming. Only the Premium, Limited, and Touring models get the Starlink security and infotainment upgrades, including the 7.0-inch screen.
The Forester's grille is high, not aggressive, and its headlamps sweep and taper. The hood is aggressively creased, but the sides are softer, with modest fender flares and taillights taken from Impreza. The lines are simple, a design that takes into consideration easy access, cabin space, and visibility.
The Forester 2.5i is better looking than the 2XT, with all its vents, lights, grilles, and accents. Still an aggressive air dam but no longer a hood scoop.
Interior room in the Forester is remarkable for a compact crossover. A driver's long legs might extend over the seat cushion, but rear passengers have plenty of legroom. The rear seats fold flat with a one-touch mechanism. It's quiet inside, thanks to added insulation behind the door panels and instrument panel.
The refreshingly simple instrument panel is shared with the Outback and Legacy sedan. It's forward and low, opening the cabin a bit.
The trim is mostly matte and soft-touch surfaces. The information screen, larger in 2016, is located at the top of a center stack with simple climate and audio controls. At the driver's elbow there's an armrest, cupholders and storage bins.
Subaru Forester handles with more sport than its competitors, namely the Honda CR-V, Nissan Rogue, and Toyota RAV4. The steering is nicely weighted, and the boxy body doesn't roll much. The ride is comfortable and not abrupt over large bumps. The Forester doesn't have the athletic ride or steering of the Ford Escape, or the driving pleasure of the Mazda CX-5, but it's fun and highly capable on the highway, in snow, on gravel roads.
The acceleration in the 2.5i isn't quick, but it's adequate. Its zero-to-sixty time of 9.3 inches isn't impressive, but because its peak torque of 174 pound-feet is available from 2000 to 4000 rpm, you've got power when you need it.
If you want quick acceleration (from 258-pound-feet of torque) spend another 11 grand for the 2.0XT and pump in premium gas. It will accelerate from zero to 60 in just 6.2 seconds. It offers quickness in other areas, such as turning and stopping, the XT offers a sport suspension on 18-inch alloy wheels with grippy tires, and bigger brakes with ventilated rotors.
Subaru's SI-Drive system offers three modes, Intelligent, Sport, Sport Sharp, that change the throttle response and transmission shift points (the base Forester 2.5i doesn't get this feature).
The CVT will be fine for most people. It's livable and unobtrusive, the least annoying CVT we know of. And when you ask a lot of it, for example in the 2.0XT using Sport Sharp mode, its simulated eight-speed relieves any boredom, with snappy shifts using the paddle shifters. In Intelligent or Sport, there are only six simulated gears.
We like the 6-speed manual. The clutch pedal is smooth and we enjoyed shifting manually.
The Forester is fine with going off road, with almost 9 inches of ground clearance, a tidy turning circle of 34.8 feet, and steep approach and departure angles. Its all-wheel-drive system is front-to-rear, but there's a function called X-Mode that moves power left-to-right at low speeds, putting the Forester on the same field as Jeep and Land Rover. In a demonstration, we watched a Forester climb up and over a steep and slick ramp. Subaru has a lot of experience with all-wheel drive and suspension design and is very good at both.
The base Forester 2.5i is a whale of a value at less than $23,000. You get proven all-wheel drive, ruggedness, balanced handling, safety, 27 mpg, non-distracting instrument panel, room for five, and tons of cargo space. If you want the extras, there are three upgraded models. If you want the Mr. Hyde speed-demon version, there's the 2.0XT turbo.

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.

FOSS, Linux, Distros and Life
Yes, I know LinuxCon is next, and that's in mid-August, but I think they've got the publicity thing covered, especially with the 20-year thing and with Linus being there and all. But if you're going to the next show, make it the Ohio LinuxFest in September. Bradley Kuhn and Cathy Malmrose are keynoting, so you'll not want to miss that (especially Cathy — Go ZaReason!)
[BLOGGER'S NOTE: Larry the Free Software Guy turns over the blog's digital soapbox today to Bob McKeand, a.k.a. "Colonel Panik." The good Colonel, who has been a Linux/FOSS user for quite some time and a long time commenter on this blog (not to mention a friend), has a few pertinent points to make on the state of Linux/FOSS these days. With that, I hand over the LtFSG megaphone to Bob. –LtFSG]
FOSS, Linux, Distros and Life
FOSS. A great idea. The reality is it takes away 80 percent of the richness of the World Wide Web, the internets. Every website that appears in those "Top 10, 25, 50, 100 or 10 million lists uses something that will not be seen by true believers of FOSS. One site alone is worth more than anything FOSS has or will accomplish: http://www.khanacademy.org/ What FOSS stands for is good. What FOSS stands against it something that needs standing against, for sure. But I am not going to cut off my nose to spite my face. All the very smart people in the FOSS arena need to sit down and find a way that does not penalize the very people who believe in FOSS.
Linux. The community that makes up the Linux world is awesome. Awesome, but contentious. Folks, y'all need to lighten up. The words "us" and "we" should be used more. As that guy Colonel Panik used to say: "Keep the humor in Linux."
Distros. Fool me once, shame on you. My dear wife and I have come to the realization that distros are willing to throw their users to the curb for any or no reason. Those of you who drive the distro development need to pay more attention to your users. In fact, that is the only thing you should be looking at. I or we shall use what works. Make it hard to set up or hard to install missing whatevers and we will just download and try the other guy's distro. If we have a distro we like and the community within that distro is rude or unfriendly, well I guess we know where we do not belong. Some of the communities that are distro-specific have become exclusionary to the extreme. They will not play with others. I live in a town of 12,000 or so people. We have 13 different churches, all Christian, and 14 AA groups. So maybe I am wrong, being divisive may be the way of the future? Group hug?
Life. We need more mentors. Please, go plant some seeds. Grow something.

Hey clndwhr,
can u post your output from iwconfig / ifconfig plz.
That will show us if your wlan cards are detected right.
Did you try to configure and connect manually?
Hey all,
Been working on trying to get my wireless to enable and connect for the last 3 or so days. I've searched the entire forum to the best of my knowledge and then proceeded to google after that in hopes it may be a linux issue however I'm not all to sure.
My problem is that when I attempt at using the KWLan utility to scan for available wireless it shows none. Before installing BT3 Final to the HDD I was able to use this utility or any of the utilities to use my wlan nic. Upon logging in to bt3 the system detects the two nic and asks if I'd like to configure them using WPA_Supplicant. Knowing that eth0 is my wirecard(SiS chipset)<-this has worked perfectly fine without any problems or config, I hit the cancel button to move on to it detecting my eth1 nic(wireless bcm43xx). I go into config it using broadcom and the error comes up, unable to configure eth1, problem could be due to misconfiguration, etc., this happens when I try to configure with any of the settings in the WPA_Supp. Using any of the other wireless utilities won't even detect known networks. I know the NIC is perfectly fine in sending/receiving packets as I am/have been using it while in WinXP build 2004.
My laptop build is an Acer 3001 WLCi with an AMD 2800+ Sempron, 512MB RAM, SiS onboard chipset, Broadcom Wireless chipset, 60GB HD.
Dual booted XP Pro, BT3Final, two ~30GB partitions, Lilo bootscreen, installed following MUTS video.
Not too fluent in linux however am on an extremely quick learning curve. If anyone could help me in pointing me in the right direction or a few tips this would be wonderful.
Hey clndwhr,
can u post your output from iwconfig / ifconfig plz.
That will show us if your wlan cards are detected right.
Did you try to configure and connect manually?
I tried configuring manually and had no luck on 3 diffect APs, I'll post up my iwconfig/ifconfig in a few hours when I'm not busy.
*** Also prior to this post my Wireless NIC was recognized on eth0 it has been changed to be recognized on eth1. This was done before the iwconfig and ifconfig below. but results above still occur with it.

don't know if u can read german, but here's a good step by step tutorial:
So, I'm actually in the process right now of pulling the wpa_supplicant -D etc.... command
It tries to associate with said Mac address SSID then proceeds to tiem out with 00:00:00:00:00:00 authentication...any ideas?
every so often ioctl[SIOCGIWSCAN]: Resource temporarily unavailable appears
Followed hxxp://forums.remote-exploit.org/showthread.php?t=1489&highlight=ndis+wrapper as a guide in getting this far.
Some ideas:
Disable your eth1 wired interface (ifconfig eht1 down) and try again.
Do you have encryption enabled? - Try without.
Make sure you are in range of your ap. (use airodump-ng eth1)
All i've read so far says the Broadcom drivers are not the easiest to deal with.
Perhaps anyone else can help u out with this.
Well I'm not entirely sure how I did it but I've managed to get this working.
While running the wpa_supplicant command a second time I started to receive authenticated connections then a 4way handshake fail and then itd disconnect and redo this 3 times, on the fourth time it connected and seemed to go into a temp frozen state in which after 15 minutes itd drop the line
WPA: EAPOL-Key Replay Counter did not increase - Dropping packet
did this 4 times in a clock cycle and then after taht itd drop the ioctl: Operation not supported
So after researchign this i came across another thread from BT2 abotu the WPA_Supplicant with -=XPloitz=- having a simlar issue and he was directed towards dling the latest release of the WPA_Supp builds, went to do this and while doing this for giggles I attempted to connect via the KWLAN utility and low and behold it connects and i have outside network connection, e.g. google, facebook, etc...
problem resolved thanks for the help Terminal86, it was much appreciated
encryption enabled, unsure at the time,
AP is 10ish feet from me without any bodily interference besides my own body.
Could someone please help me with my issue which, I posted earlier but still no reply on it.
I am using HP laptop DV9605ea with broadcom chipset. Using Bactrack 3 usb version. To find out the actual chipset when I use lspci it shows 'BCM4312 (rev 02)' and in iwconfig it shows 'nickname BCM4311' (sorry for that, as unsure of it). My interface is eth1. iwlist scan always says 'No scan results'. When I try to connect through a terminal window and have to down the eth1 then I cannot make it up. If I try to run command 'ifconfig eth1 up' it says 'error no such device'.
I have searched alot in this forum for my issue but coudn't find a satisfactory answer. I also googled for the solution of my problem but all in vain.
1. I did find some soultion like to use bcm43xx fwcutter but same results again.
2. I tried to use Ndiswrapper by following the instructions on the link (It won't allow me to put link)
Ubuntu forms: Feisty_No-Fluff
but got stuck here:
sudo cp /etc/network/interfaces /etc/network/interfaces.orig
echo -e 'auto lo\niface lo inet loopback\n' | sudo tee /etc/network/interfaces
sudo ndiswrapper -m
echo 'ndiswrapper' | sudo tee -a /etc/modules
echo 'ENABLED=0' | sudo tee -a /etc/default/wpasupplicant
3. The only instructions worked for me were at broadcom website itself.
But the problem with those instructions are after connecting to internet, using iwconfig command nickname of my eth1 chipset is gone it just shows blank in quotes " " and only the first letter of my essid. Further, I cannot configure kismet source line with these instructions as they asked to remove the bcmxx. I been trying to resolve this issue from last 4 days but still unable to figure it out.
Any help in this matter is highly appreciatable

Los Angeles County's health system faces millions in lost funds and closures of hospitals or clinics if large scale changes to implement the Affordable Care Act are not made in the next year, or in some cases within three months, according to a report expected to be presented to the county Board of Supervisors next week.
Under President Barack Obama's Affordable Care Act, the county's health system will receive reduced federal money through the Disproportionate Share Hospital fund. The county received $415 million in DSH funding for the 2012-2013 fiscal year. Under ACA, health service departments across the country will lose a total of $500 million in 2014, and up to $4 billion by 2020, according to the report.
It is still unclear how much of those funds will be allocated to California and Los Angeles, said Allan Wecker, the county's chief financial officer.
Those who become insured are expected to make up the lost federal funding, he said.
Although much progress has been made in leading patients to public sector insurance, more than a dozen other changes within the county system need to continue for successful reform to take place, said Dr. Mitchell Katz, director of the Los Angeles County Health Services Department.
"Now that the ACA is clearly going forward we need to accelerate the transformation especially in the areas of being a system of choice and aligning our costs to the methods by which we will be paid," Katz wrote in the report.
Changes include decreasing the number of days spent in hospitals among patients not acutely ill, as well as placing the chronically ill, those who are too expensive to care for, and the homeless into supportive housing.
In addition, 86 computer techs will have to be hired to help the county fully implement electronic health records instead of paper files. Katz said that means staff also will need to be reassigned and up to 60 techs will have to be hired in the next two or three months. The board on Tuesday approved a motion to hire those workers as well as a contractor for nearly $367 million, who will help the county upgrade its medical files for the next 10 years.
"To survive in this environment, DHS must decrease the cost of our services while simultaneously improving quality and service levels," Katz wrote in the report, which was requested by Supervisor Gloria Molina and was to be presented to the Board of Supervisors on Tuesday, but was postponed until Dec. 4.
"The only way to do this is to provide the right service in the right place by the right person," Katz said.
At least 70 percent of the estimated 2.2 million uninsured county residents will be eligible for Medicaid or another state program. Also, 200,000 already are enrolled in Healthy Way L.A. Under the ACA, these patients can transition into L.A. Care, a public sector health plan or into HealthNet, a private sector plan. But Katz warned that the county must make sure these patients stay with their current physicians and medical providers so that the ripple effects on their own care, as well as to the overall county system, be minimal.
"What would be disastrous for LA County would be for the vast majority of HWLA patients to choose a different provider," Katz wrote in his report.
"This is not an idle worry. The last time a large number of uninsured persons received Medicaid, (through) the 1990s state expansion of Medicaid to include pregnant women and their children, the number of deliveries in DHS hospitals plummeted from about 43,000 delivers a year to fewer than 3,000 in recent years."
Katz said the lack in volume of patients would be disastrous because hospitals have fixed expenses that are not decreased by lessening volume.
"Therefore, a large volume drop in paying patients could result in our seeking tens to hundreds of millions of dollars of additional county support to maintain our system," he said.
Earlier this month, County Supervisor Gloria Molina requested monthly updates on the county's progress.
"The Affordable Care Act's primary mandates will take effect in just over one year," Molina said in a statement. "Under that brief timeframe, our health department must urgently reinvent itself. We must transform from a safety net provider with unlimited demand for services to a more efficient provider vying for newly insured patients in a highly competitive marketplace."
Even after health care reform is complete, there will still be an estimated 1.3 million uninsured in Los Angeles County, who will need those safety net hospitals and clinics, Katz wrote in his report.
The county's department of health services is the second largest public health system in the nation and serves nearly 10 million residents. The department runs four hospitals, as well as multiple comprehensive health centers.
NOTE: An earlier version of this story said nationwide, $415 million in DSH funding was distributed for the 2012-2013 fiscal year, when it fact, that funding was distributed to Los Angeles County.

Easter and the Resurrection: Part 2 of 2
Announcer:The 21st century has ushered in events and issues that cause us to ask, "Where is God in today's world?" In response, Dallas Theological Seminary presents DTS Dialogue - Issues of God in Culture: Easter and the Resurrection. Easter points believers to one of their greatest hopes: resurrection. Thanks for joining us as we unpack the importance of the resurrection of Jesus Christ, Part 2.
Mark Yarbrough:We've talked about this one a little bit. I want to go back to a theme, Buist, that you talked about, of "How is resurrection tied to God's overall salvific plan?" There is something redemptive in its concept. How does that even fit into this argument of I Corinthians? It seems to me, in First Corinthians 15, it's not just an issue that they were wrong - and they were - but there's something greater going on here about God's reclaiming creation.
Buist Fanning III:It's in the warp and woof. It's part and parcel of everything all the way back to the Old Testament. I think a really revealing passage on this point is Romans 8, sort of in the middle of the chapter, verses 22 through 23, where Paul talks about the whole creation groaning.
Mark: Yes.
Buist:We suffer and we groan, because we are longing for the redemption that's to come, but he adds to that "the whole creation is groaning" as well, because it's not the way God intended it. The world is fallen. The universe is not the way God created it. Paul says even the creation itself awaits the redemption of the body. It awaits the full redemption of the sons of God, which he expresses as the redemption of the body. Again, expressing the physical, material nature of this.
So Paul has this big picture of God as the Creator, who's not willing to allow His creation to fall into sin and be irreparably lost, but begins to work according to a saving purpose to redeem and to restore and to bring back His creation, and humanity especially, into the design that he had for it. And through Christ He's engaged in that.
Paul says we still look forward to the fulfillment of that. We don't have it yet. We live in hope; we don't live in possession of what we expect to happen. But we look forward to that fulfillment, and it's not just for us as individuals. It's really God's plan for the whole universe. It's God's plan for his people Israel and for his people from all the nations of the world, and for the universe itself, which will be restored to the intent that God had in the original creation.
Tom Constable: And even unbelievers will be resurrected.
Buist: Yes.
Tom:Paul speaks of Jesus as "the first fruits of them that sleep" frequently in his writings. He seems to look at Jesus there as the first one of many who will be resurrected, and the "many" turn out to be everybody, believers and unbelievers alike. So evidently everyone is going to experience reunion of their persons - their immaterial part and their material part - one day. This is part of the restoration process.
Buist:Another interesting dimension about the Resurrection you find in the New Testament is that in some books, the Resurrection is often linked up, or seen as part and parcel with, Christ's ascension and exaltation to God's right hand. It's natural; it's easy to see how those three could be combined. God raised him up. God, after a period of appearances to the disciples on earth, drew him up to heaven. Then God seated him in a place of highest authority.
In books that talk like that - Acts 2, the book of Hebrews in various places, First Peter 3, Revelation talks in those terms - they often connect that with expectation that the next thing that will happen is that he will come in full authority as both the Judge and the Savior. He will come to judge those who don't believe in him, to bring them through to judgment, and to defeat his enemies. And he will also come to bring complete salvation to those who are his.
So he was raised to this new life, and we commune with him now, and so on, but that's not the end of the story. We await the fullness of our salvation as Christians. But the world, conversely - those who haven't accepted Jesus as Savior - unfortunately they await the consummation of judgment that will come as part of God's wrapping up of all things in the end times.
So First Peter at the end of chapter three talks about Jesus at God's right hand. And then in chapters four and five it talks about "when the Good Shepherd appears, the end of all things is at hand." It links those kinds of teachings together. And again, it shows how all of these things are so vitally connected to the Resurrection. The Resurrection is really, I think, the turning point, the kind of pivot point for all of God's saving history.
The Old Testament, and all the various things that God revealed about himself through that, point toward that. And then all the things we hope for about the future are going to be based on that. It's really the beginning and the foundation of God's renewing work that will encompass all creation.
Mark:That kind of ties to another question of this issue of believers today. We're really kind of talking about that, so let's slide on into that question: the benefits that we have of Christ's resurrection now. Here we are in 2006, believers in Jesus Christ, we've put our faith and trust in him: what are the benefits that we have of Christ's resurrection?
Tom:One of the primary ones, I think, is that we have a living Savior, that he is alive today. That he intercedes for us in heaven with the Father, that he is in a position to complete the work of salvation that he has begun in us, and that his life guarantees the completion of that.
Buist:When you think about... If I'm enamored with Shakespeare or something, and I read about him, and I read his work, and I'm really taken with him, it's all kind of looking back. He's left some relics and I can enjoy those, but it's based on memory, based on the things that remain from when he lived on earth. With Jesus it's different, because he's not just a kind of historical memory to cling to. He's alive today! And I can commune with him. I can find transforming strength from him. I can turn to him in times of need. Even though he's not present to physical sight, Christians experience his presence in really convincing ways in their day-to-day life. And that's really the point, I think, of having a resurrected savior, one who is alive, and with whom I'm in vital connection day by day.
Tom: This really distinguishes Christianity from every other faith.
Mark: Doesn't it, though?
Tom:Because every other faith has its founder who is buried, and is in the tomb. His followers make pilgrimages to his grave, but Christ didn't ask us to do that. He asked us to gather around a table, on which were elements that represent his body and his blood, and to do this until he comes again.
Mark: Yes, what a great point.
Tom: What a difference that is.
Mark:It interesting, isn't it, that at times our mind is clearly drawn to the cross, and rightfully so. I want to say that. However, if it stays there, there's a huge problem, because...
Buist: Excellent point.
Mark:The point is that we move from the cross to a risen Lord. And that's what you're saying, that even in the celebration of the Lord's Supper, it is anticipation of the day when we will do that with him. And why? Because he is alive, and we will do it with him in a risen state.
That's a great point. Let's kind of start to wrap this up a little bit. What do folks often miss about this topic? Maybe we've already covered some, but I'm thinking now of a lot of folks who might be listening - Sunday school teachers and Bible study leaders, and obviously with Easter coming on us, it's going to be a topic.
As you mentioned, Tom, already, the pews are going to be full, because it draws people out as one of the two big Christian holidays, and people will come. If you were teaching, what are some of the elements that you would address and talk about in a Sunday school format or in a Bible study that you think oftentimes are missed.
It's a great opportunity for people to be able to remind folks of the importance of resurrection and its impact on our lives. What are things that you might have from sort of a pastoral perspective in that regard.
Buist:I think I would just encourage people to try to put themselves in the situation of those early Christians. To experience in as direct a way as possible what it would have been like to witness what you thought at the time was the ultimate defeat of what you'd given your life to.
These people had left everything, especially the 12- the 11. They'd become followers of this person, Jesus. They thought he was the fulfillment of God's salvation, that he was God's Son incarnate. And yet, here he's been taken away, he's been treated so badly, he's been executed and he's been put in a tomb.
Seemed like the worst defeat ever has happened. And then lo and behold, they get these scattered reports about different people who have seen him, about people who have been to the tomb, and it's empty.
Mark: As the old sermon goes, "Sunday's come."
Buist:Sunday's coming, exactly, and here it is all of a sudden. And then, either you experience the sight of the risen Lord and meet him in person, or you hear about that from others whom you trust. And everything is transformed.
It reminds me of the word that Tolkien created. He talked about this word "eucatastrophe", built on the word "catastrophe," the worst having happened, everything being destroyed, but with the prefix "eu" added, which means something good, something that actually has turned out to be the best that could be expected.
And Tolkien uses this to talk about how when you're writing a fantasy story, you should set it up in a way that it seems like the worst is going to happen, and then all of the sudden, it turns out to be the best that could possibly have been dreamed of.
Well, the ultimate eucatastrophe, Tolkien said, is the resurrection of Christ. Because in the face of the worst defeat that could possibly have been imagined, all of the sudden, it's the greatest victory that could be imagined, and everything is different as a result.
And he commissions them in that first generation to go and proclaim this to all the world, and they go out with deep conviction, and a willingness to be martyrs and to sacrifice everything for that. And if we could just recover some of that excitement and some of that commitment, I think it would transform the way we live our lives as Christians in the 21st century.
Tom:I think I too would encourage Christians in particular to focus more on the Resurrection. I think most Christians appreciate the death of Christ, but for many Christians, he's still dead, for all practical purposes.
And, the fact that he is actually alive now should have a profound effect on how we live our lives, not only our relationship with God as we go through the day - we can talk to a savior who is actually really alive, we're not just hoping that's the case, or thinking that's the case...
Buist: Or looking forward long time from now when we'll see him face to face.
Tom:To really somebody who is intimately involved in our lives because he is alive. And that, I think, can bring God much closer to us, if I can put it in those terms, than he would be otherwise.
Mark: Sure, sure. An emphasis of the Resurrection reminds us that we have a relationship with him now.
All: Yeah.
Mark: Amen. Good discussion, gentlemen. Thank you very much again for your time. Greatly appreciate it. Good to see you, as always.
Buist: Glad to do it.
Tom: Been a pleasure.
Mark:And we sure hope that this information will be able to help others down the road as they're preparing for lessons and sermons and Bible studies and the like, so let's close with a word of prayer. Dr. Fanning, would you lead us.
Buist:Lord Jesus, we thank you that as we've just been reflecting, you are alive, and you're present with us. And we have this life-connection to you that will never come to an end, and because of that, we have a hope that we will be with you forever. We will be raised to a new bodily life, like to your glorious body, and experience fellowship with you, fellowship with your father and with the holy spirit through all of the coming ages.
Thank you for that hope, Lord. I pray that you'll transform us as we think about that, and as we represent this message to a world that desperately needs to hear it. Thank you for your grace and your goodness, and this time to reflect on it together. In Jesus name we pray:
All: Amen.

Post subject: Trade up or trade down?
What does anyone think is the best course of action for the Redskins in the draft?
1. Trade up- it would probably cost a player and a future or later rounds pick to pull this off...we would likely have to land in the top 3 in order to get our choice of mike williams or braylon edwards, as i think the bears will take one of those 2...however there is a very good chance that we could go up to 5 with TB and snag one of those 2...
2. Stand pat- at number 9 we are likely to take the highest rated pass rusher on our board if one of the top 2 WRs does not fall to us...at this point most say erasmus james is the best bet...also some say heath miller, but i personally feel that 9 is too early for him
3. Trade down- We could also move down in order to pick up some additional picks, especially a 2nd rounder to replace the one we gave up...in this case we could move down from 1-12 spots in my opinion and still be able to get a highly rated pass rusher or heath miller...we could then try to fill other holes with the additional picks
Skins fans, or any fans really, what do you think is the best course of action given this draft and the current state of the redskins roster?

We can't trade up, we only have 5 picks as it is - we need more picks, not less.

I think we should trade down - i know we need to replace certain places but we have no second round pick or fifth round so we should trade down a bit and get a second round pick as well. We need some better players desperately.

Post subject: what to do
I guess it depends on the goal of this draft. The skins are an old team and desperately need youth. That beign said, drafting players may not be the way to get GOOD youth.
The way I see it there are three positions of need for the redskins:
A good Pass rusher
A good, big, strong, fast receiver (think mushin muhamed but young)
and a good strong fast center
If the goal is playoffs in a hurry, a pass rusher is the easiest one of these to groom. Not easy, but easiest. BUT... there are TWO VERY good receivers popping up.
One of the three positions has to be our first round pick and I wouldnt want to trade down and get the second best guy in the draft.
If the redskins trade out gardner for third round pick (which is apparently close to what is being offered) then they could possibly move up to a position to grab one of edwards or williams (I prefer williams). it may even be possible to get him from our current spot. THis would be great considering the fact that I dont want 50-50 (gardner) on our team anymore.
The ofseason then will be focused entirely on shoring up the o-line and getting a passrusher. Positions that are available.
BUT... we could also go for one of the big stud Defensive ends, get a center in FA and cross our fingers that our passing game is just better.

I think youve hit the nail on the head with the redskins offseason needs ctj...i dont think coles is at his best as a number one receiver going against the best corners week in and week out...hes too small and subject to the jam...we need someone to put fear in defenses...and now that gardner is the subject of major trade rumors, i can definitely see the skins going hard for a big WR
center is definitely a need no question about it...cory raymer is not the answer, period
pass rushing DE i agree with again, we dont have that stud guy that affects o-line schemes and harrasses QBs all game...
i think there might be some other needs also...if smoot leaves (which i dont think he will) we will need to pick up a good nickel CB at worst and possibly a new starter if walt harris isnt the answer...also possibly a blocking TE b/c im not impressed with royal's blocking...
In order to tie this rambling spiel together, i think this indicates that the redskins CAN afford to trade up if need be to get williams...we are all very aware that the redskins do not mind a dearth of draft picks, and will trade away picks at the drop of the hat if they deem it the correct move...it should not be horribly difficult to pick up a solid C in free agency, and that leaves us only having to re-sign our own men (or replace the ones who leave) and get a good pass rusher (i have previously recommended chike okeafor from the seahawks)...getting a 2nd round pick would be nice, but after that round, the draft is basically a crapshoot...very few players even from the 3rd round develop into solid NFL starters...thus, i say the redskins should try to package some picks and players together if need be to snare one mike williams...but thats just my opinion

i should also qualify what i said a minute back...if we cannot trade up to get mike williams, then by all means i think we should trade down...no one at DE is worthy of such an early pick and we could get an equal player at say number 17 and add possibly a pick this year and next...

Yeah I agree with eball, the skins should definelty make an attempt to move up and draft Mike Williams, but if they can't then I'd trade down and get more picks.
CTJ...how are the skins an old team???
Portis is what 24, Ramsey 25, Samuels 26, Arrington 26, Coles 27, Dockery 24, Thomas 28, Jansen 29, Cooley 22, Griffin 28, Pierce 26, Taylor 21, Smoot 25
I could keep going, I mean they have a couple of old guys on the team, but they are still a very young team, I think everyone looses sight of that.
There is plenty of room to grow for this team in the next couple of seasons, especially if they add players through the draft and a couple in FA that actually work out for once. Some how they have to get Mike Williams or one of the big name FA WR's and a pass rushing DE, other than that I think we just keep the team together, add young depth and in a year or 2 we should be fighting hard with the Eagles!

Post subject: the skins
How do I say the skins are old... simple... they are. They def have a few guys who are good and young (unfortunately one of those guys is our starting QB - but ramsey will be fine witht he right tools). The skins average age is a little over 27 and last I checked that made us the 3rd oldest team. We have a few good developing superstars which is great but we also have a bunch of guys that are a little older.
Now... enough making fun of the team I've been a fan of since birth and more senseless strategizing.
Lets say that Snyder is the man. And he and Gibbs go nuts on those three or 4 (including CB since I am for trading smoot) open positions that REALLY need help.
Here are some possibilities:
I love Mike Williams... I think he will be a fantastic WR. HOWEVER, the operative word is think. We need a big play, downfield guy in the worst way. i would say this is our number 1 priority. So who do we get? Well there are a few possibilities out there including (and I know this is nuts) Randy the mooner Moss. Now we all know that the $$ might be tough with him on the roster and Minnesota probably won't let go of him lightly. BUT they need defense badly and we have some defense we can give him (Smoot, a Linebacker possibly arrington and probably our first round pick, maybe a late pick if we can trade for it). The other choice... and less costly and probably better down the road is to get a guy in the draft (williams... not edwards, I dont want another guy that is inconsistent). I would prefer williams, but I can see snyder's mouth watering at the prospect of gettin another headline in the wash post.
At CB, I think we may be fine just with Harris. He isnt anywhere near as good as smoot, but if Arrington sticks around and is healthy, and we get a good pass-rushing DE, we should be fine. QB won't have time to throw on him. If its a problem, its a problem I will worry about next draft.
DE. This is really important to me. WE MUST HAVE A GOODS PASSRUSHER. Our defense was sick this year because we could shut down their positive yardage. BUT, we need more turnovers and more sacks to WIN games with the D. So I want the best stud in the draft for pass rush. If we cant get a second first round pick then I want the best free agent out there. The list of FA DE is decent... I want a Freeny caliber pass-rusher that is just going to [inappropriate/removed] the QB off all day long.
and finally Center. Seriously... its a center. I couldnt even tell you the names of 6 centers in the league, but damnit... I just want one year where we dont have a hole in our o-line... ONE DAMN YEAR!!!!!! I want to see Ramsey have 10 seconds in the pocket ONCE in my life. SO SNYDER... DAMN YOU... GET ME AN O-LINE.
Alright.. bring on the attacks.

Mike barrow, matt bowen, ray brown, ray brown, Backup brunnel, phillip daniels, lennie friedman, rod gardner, cornellius griffin, jermaine haley, walt harris (future starting CB), jon jansen, brian kozlowski, lemar marshal, brandon noble, cory raymer, joe salvae'a, chris samules, mike sellers, shawn springs, randy thomas, james thrash, ron warner, ron warner and renaldo wynn are all 29 or above (with the exception of about 5 guys on this list that are 28. Thats NFL old.
In two years, all of these guys will be in their 30s. I'm thinking that is not a recipe for longevity.

I agree that it is always nice to get youth, but i wouldnt agree that the redskins are a very old team...out of the guys you named, maybe 8 or 9 are starters and important pieces of the team...really only jansen, samuels, thomas, griffin, and springs are crucial team members that you listed...and 4 of those 5 are linemen who play well into their 30s...
in conclusion, the redskins could use youth for sure, but its not a necessity...the CB position could use a young stud, especially if smoot doesnt return...but all in all the skins are fairly young...i mean hey, we are already better than the cowboys and giants and they are much older than us!

Gardner is 26, and Griffin is 27, and almost half of those guys you have listed are around the same age, we jsut have guys that are in their prime right now, a couple of them like the obvious ones are old, and I admit we have to get rid of them like Barrow, Brunnell, and who knows about Brown, and hopefully Brown will be a back up next year, Barow won't be here nether will Gardner, Haley Raymer, and REnaldo Wynn, and Freidman, and we can replace them with younger players.
All I know is that we aren't that old, if you went to the redskins site and wen't down the line and looked at the ages of our players we have alot of players we are around 25 or younger, and we have about 10 who are around 30 or older, and hopefully next year these guys either won't be with the team, or they will just be backups.
And every team has guys in their late 20's jsut like the eagles, Patriots Falcons, and Steelers, and those are the players who are the best on each of there teams, because guys taht are around 28 are usually in there NFL prime!!

umm no... they are 27 and 28.... born in 1977 and 1978.
But beyond that look at the numbers... we are still one of the oldest teams in the NFL. We have SOME good young guys (taylor, CP, et al) but we are still in pain from a philosophy of sacrificing draft picks for veterans that snyder followed a few years back. I dont want to sacrifice ANY more draft picks unless it meant getting something AMAZING.
The thing that kills us is that our hot young guys that are developing dont exist.
BUT... I think it can be overcome but not with a philosophy of picking up old guys for young guys in the draft.
This is what I would do:
Get either mike williams or edwards in the draft with the 9th pick (which I really think one will be available if not both depending on offseason moves by chicago)
Get a second first round pick or possibly second rounder and get either DE pollack, cody or spears.
the rest of the draft picks should go to any sort of decent offensive linemen that bugle can try to develop (assuming we dont have a thrid round pick after maneuvering).
We can worry bout a replacement for smoot next year. I'm not convinced that harris wont do fine. Greg williams seems to like him and I have no reason not to trust him. Having the rush of arrington and a good DE and then trow in the occasional springs or taylor rush... teh defense should be tough to deal with.
The offense may still struggle until our o-line is really cohesive but if it gels, then ramsey will have great weapons: cooley, LC in the slot and cross routes, edwards or williams bullying out defenders for the long ball and of course CP. I think thats the real key... CP HAS to have better holes. 3.9 yards per carry wasnt terrible considering the lack of respect we got in the passing game but the holes werent that great.
Its close... real close... I can smell it.. this should be a good offseason. I really think the key here is developing a good passing game. If we get that... the skins are a ten win team, no problem, probably more. The best part about this team is that it should be good int he playoffs. Defensive teams always play better in january.

It's on in Aspen.
X-Games 13 is underway and with one of the gnarliest slopestyle courses yet, the 22-foot Superpipe and a stacked field of riders it's shaping up to be the most "X" games yet.
The day started with the first round Women's Superpipe competition. The girls took their qualifying runs from ten to noon under partly cloudy skies and mild temps. And they were ripping. There were a lot of 9's thrown. Kelly Clark came out boosting. And Torah was getting hella-tech. From the looks of it the final will probably be a heated match between Clark and Bright.
Here's who qualified and will advance to the final.
1. Torah Bright
2. Kelly Clark
3. Hannah Teeter
4. Ellery Hollingsworth
5. Gretchen Bleiler
6. Kaitlyn Farrington
While the ladies were doing their thing in the ditch, the men were over on the slopestyle course trying to dial in their runs. It proved to be a tall order, as the course is incredibly tight and the jumps are f-ing huge. There was a lot of talk about this being one of the hairiest slopestyle courses anyone's ever ridden. Should be some kind of showdown.
The most intimidating feature on the course, was undoubtedly the channel gap. After Travis Rice failed to clear the channel and fell into the gaping crevasse riders stopped trying the transfer.
The biggest criticism of the course is how close all the jumps are. You basically land one jump and are shot right into the lip of the next. Shit's tech. And kids to broke off. Kevin Pearce fell hard on the second table and sustained a concussion. He left the hill early with a bandage and a lump over his eye. He seemed fairly unfazed, but had to bow out of tonight Big Air comp and word is he's on the go-list for the rest of the weeks events.
Chas Guldemond got Kevin's spot in the tonight, and even though he's got a nasty case of shin splints Chas said he plans on really givin' 'er under the lights.
Big Air practice starts at 6:30 and the finals get going at 8pm.
Check back later tonight for all the results.
