Paralympic gold medalists, Denver Harlequins to demonstrate wheelchair rugby at Mines Jan. 27
GOLDEN, Colo., Jan. 20, 2010 – Beijing Paralympic gold medalists Jason Regier and Chance Sumner, 2010 U.S. Paralympic Wheelchair Team qualifier Adam Scaturro, and the Denver Harlequin squad will conduct an exhibition emphasizing the unparalleled talent and ability of quad rugby players Jan. 27 on the Colorado School of Mines campus in Volk Gymnasium at 14th and Illinois Streets.
The Quad Rugby Organization, a nonprofit providing support, resources, and stability for wheelchair rugby teams, is teaming up with the Denver Harlequins quad rugby team to promote the hard-hitting sport.
"If you are unfamiliar with quad rugby, this is your chance to see a truly profound sport. The talent, competition, and drive of these wheelchair bound athletes are truly awe inspiring," said Jonathan Senger, Quad Rugby Organization board president.
During the Jan. 27 demonstration sponsored by the CSM Rugby Club, participants from the audience will be encouraged to get in a wheelchair and play with the team to truly witness the power and thrill of such a unique sport.
"An exhibition at the Colorado School of Mines is a chance for us to demonstrate the athleticism and spirit of quad rugby players," said Jason Regier, Denver Harlequin quad rugby player and Bejing Paralympic gold medalist. "The Denver Harlequins are excited to expose the sport of wheelchair rugby to the Colorado School of Mines and Golden community."
In addition to the demonstration on Jan. 27, a film screening of the Academy Award-nominated documentary "Murderball" will be hosted on campus on Jan. 25 at 8 p.m. in the Student Center Ballrooms A & B.

Vin Diesel on the Challenge of Playing a Tree With Abs
Photo: Getty Images
By Kathleen Perricone
For Vin Diesel's latest role, in Guardians of the Galaxy, the actor really had to step outside his comfort level … to play a tree with abs of steel named Groot.
"Can you believe even my tree has abs?" he joked when he called in to On Air with Ryan Seacrest on Wednesday morning. "I'm a flora colossus. I'm a monarch on Planet X …"
All joking aside, Vin insists, "It is kind of cool to be challenged enough to play a character … I've been acting all my life and I don't think the thought ever crossed my mind that someone would ask me to play a three-word monosyllabic tree. It was kind of a cool challenge because anyone who has read the comics … he actually says a lot of different things … and those who are oblivious to the nuances to his speech can hear 'I Am Groot.'"
Also up next for Vin is Fast & Furious 7, which is expect to be released April 3, 2015. Of course, finishing the movie was especially difficult once co-star Paul Walker passed away during filming.
"It started out as the easiest movie because it was our seventh film, and then of course it became the hardest film to shoot," explains Vin.
Guardians of the Galaxy is in theaters this Friday!

What was your most memorable moment during your waterbirth?
I love everything about both my waterbirth's.
Dipping down into the warm water, surrounding my swelling belly with heat and relaxation.
Being able to float about weightless.
The warm water helping my perineum soften for the crowning of my baby's head.
I could go on and on....
Tell me what you loved about your water birth.

Dear sunnymumof5,
I used a birthing pool with my first labour (although I got out for the actual birthing of the baby). I remember the moment when I first got into that warm water and just feeling the water surround and hold my body and me consciously relaxing.
In my last birth I unfortunately didn't have time for the water pool to be filled (as the time between me getting to the hospital and having my son was around 40 minutes). However, I am certainly planning on prioritising it next time around. I feel the benefits of water in labour are huge and can contribute to a natural, smoother birth.
I look forward to reading others' experiences.
Warm wishes,

My first baby was born standing in a shower. My second was a waterbirth.
For me, I found the effortless floating in the water very helpful with the pain and because I didn't have to support myself.
I did regret birthing in the water though; next time I'd labour in the water but then stand or go in the shower for the delivery as I felt it was harder to push in the water.

Hi guys,
I need help getting my MacBook pad to work after running startx. lsusb lists it but theres no response from backtrack after i load the gui. the keyboard works fine if I change the xorg.conf a certain way but I've tried everything for the mouse and looked at tons of forums. Any suggestions? thanks!

I updated Nmap and XPLico today as part of my weekly update of BT4, and attempted to start xplico which gave this error:
I changed the apache2.conf line 281 to read /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-xplico: yet it can not find the file that this is directed to.Code:Starting web server: apache2apache2: Syntax error on line 281 of /etc/apache2/apache2.conf: Could not open configuration file /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-xplico:: No such file or directory failed!
Actually i had trouble finding any sign of XPlico on my system after the update, i also tried reinstalling it from the repos as well. Its directory isn't found in /opt or in /pentest
An update to above problem, just installed vmware version to my main desktop pc, and updated all packages through repos. The XPlico on my desktop install works fine, so i reinstalled apache2 on my laptop and then xplico, and its still not working. The install on my laptop is to the harddrive.
i have one other laptop that i use for work with the vmware image on it, so im gonna try the same thing as the desktop, if it works, i guess ii'll just have to move my my handshake files and caps off my hdd install and reinstall BT4
sweet reinstalled bt4, installed xplico, everythings ok ftw

He was able to inspire and motivate others to acts of courage—as great leaders must.
Bush doesn't yet have the courage to say all the things that need to be said.
Israel has the wisdom to see the world as it is, but also the courage to see the world as it should be.
"The real question is will Republicans have the courage to take on those programs," Penner said.
I want to encourage everyone to approach these reforms with boldness, courage, and caution.
Atlee says you can always settle the courage on the younger children.'
Think of having the courage to talk that way about marriage!
Where would I find the strength and courage for the challenges?
Such an impression does every mark of courage make upon them!
Perhaps it was because we saw only a part of the situation that our courage rose.
c.1300, from Old French corage (12c., Modern French courage) "heart, innermost feelings; temper," from Vulgar Latin *coraticum (source of Italian coraggio, Spanish coraje), from Latin cor "heart" (see heart) which remains a common metaphor for inner strength.
In Middle English, used broadly for "what is in one's mind or thoughts," hence "bravery," but also "wrath, pride, confidence, lustiness," or any sort of inclination. Replaced Old English ellen, which also meant "zeal, strength."

Just some personal questions/thoughts after BT 5 fresh install startup
Since usually the first thing i do on a new workstation is #ifconfig
i found dhclient on eth0 was up by default and this was a surprise.
No problem of course i configured mine back to the old way (networking stopped)
but i am just curious to understand wich reason is behind this change .
Maybe for all that posts about "how to start networking in BT"?
Then i found services running from startup but this had to be done:
for example finding metasploit already bounded to postgre was nice!
I am also curious to know why some utils like Kate, Nectactview, vncviewer and vncserver have been removed from dpkg list.
Space reasons?
Seems to me BT guys have worked alot: kde, gnome, arm, x64 also...great !
Well reading back this post seems like i am asking an interview with developers but i am just a common curious user ç_ç

Breast infectionMastitis; Infection - breast tissue; Breast abscess
A breast infection is an infection in the tissue of the breast.
Breast infections are usually caused by a common bacteria (Staphylococcus aureus) found on normal skin. The bacteria enter through a break or crack in the skin, usually on the nipple.
The infection takes place in the fatty tissue of the breast and causes swelling. This swelling pushes on the milk ducts. The result is pain and lumps in the infected breast.
Breast infections usually occur in women who are breastfeeding. Breast infections that are not related to breastfeeding might be a rare form of breast cancer.
- Breast enlargement on one side only
- Breast lump
- Breast pain
- Fever and flu-like symptoms including nausea and vomiting
- Itching
- Nipple discharge (may contain pus)
- Nipple sensation changes
- Swelling, tenderness, redness, and warmth in breast tissue
- Tender or enlarged lymph nodes in armpit on the same side
Exams and Tests
Breastfeeding women are usually not tested. However, an exam is often helpful to confirm the diagnosis and rule out complications such as an abscess.
Sometimes for infections that keep returning, milk from the nipple will be cultured. In women who are not breastfeeding, testing may include mammography or breast biopsy.
Self-care may include applying moist heat to the infected breast tissue for 15 to 20 minutes four times a day.
Antibiotic medications are usually very effective in treating a breast infection. You are encouraged to continue to breastfeed or to pump to relieve breast engorgement from milk production while receiving treatment.
Outlook (Prognosis)
The condition usually clears quickly with antibiotic therapy.
In severe infections, an abscess may develop. Abscesses need to be drained, either as an office procedure or with surgery. Women with abscesses may be told to temporarily stop breastfeeding.
When to Contact a Medical Professional
Call your health care provider if:
- Any portion of the breast tissue becomes reddened, tender, swollen, or hot
- You are breastfeeding and develop a high fever
- The lymph nodes in the armpit become tender or swollen
The following may help reduce the risk of breast infections:
- Careful nipple care to prevent irritation and cracking
- Feeding often and pumping milk to prevent engorgement of the breast
- Proper breastfeeding technique with good latching by the baby
- Weaning slowly, over several weeks, rather than abruptly stopping breastfeeding

Women and Gender in the Drug War
Two-thirds of women doing time in federal prison are behind bars for nonviolent drug offenses, and the vast majority of them have children they can't even see. That's not family values.
The perceived targets of drug law enforcement are men, but many of its victims are women. Women, and particularly women of color, are disproportionately affected by social stigma, by laws that punish those unable or unwilling to inform on others, by regulations that bar people with a drug conviction from obtaining (or that require a drug test to receive) public assistance, and by a drug treatment system designed for men.
Largely as a result of draconian drug laws, women are now a fast growing segment of the U.S. prison population. More than three quarters of women behind bars are mothers, many of them sole caregivers.
Conspiracy offenses represent one of the most egregious examples of the drug war's inequitable treatment of women. Although conspiracy laws were designed to target members of illicit drug organizations, they have swept up many women for being guilty of nothing more than living with a husband or boyfriend involved in some level of drug sales. Harsh mandatory minimum sentencing may keep them behind bars for 20 years, 30 years, or even life.
The drug war punishes women, particularly mothers, not just for drug law violations but also, it appears, for failing to be "good" women. This translates into a system whereby women who are responsible for childrearing are too readily separated from their children, temporarily or permanently. Even women who do not use drugs may be punished, for example, by welfare regulations that require recipients to submit to invasive and embarrassing monitored drug testing in order to obtain public assistance.
Removing a parent (perhaps the only parent) from the household is immediately destabilizing, and over the long-term it's devastating. Parents, once released from prison, may be barred from public assistance and housing and face significantly diminished employment opportunities. Children with a parent in prison are several times more likely than other children to end up in foster care, to drop out of school and to become involved in the criminal justice system.
Pregnant women are uniquely vulnerable to criminal justice involvement. Prosecutors across the country have targeted pregnant women accused of drug use, supposedly in the interest of protecting their fetuses. The criminalization of pregnant women is not only an affront to women's rights; it puts both mother and fetus at greater risk by erecting barriers to drug treatment and prenatal care.
The Drug Policy Alliance is committed to safeguarding a woman's right to sovereignty over her own body, and we have been involved in several legal challenges in cases in which women were charged with child abuse, assault, homicide or other offenses because they allegedly used drugs while pregnant. We are also working to increase opportunities for families to remain together while parents (or children) address problematic drug use and to reform draconian conspiracy laws that result in harsh prison sentences for women.

Ask the great poker players how they'd play a hand and the answer is always "it depends." That answer can be infuriating. But guess what? It really does depend. The key to becoming a great poker player is in knowing what it depends on. At last there's a book that gives you that answer. Poker is a game of so many variables; table position, flop texture, the number of players in a hand, the personalities of your opponents, and so much more. Decide to Play Great Poker teaches you how to identify and analyze those variables, interchange them within basic game-situation templates, and become knowledgeable, comfortable, and confident in any poker situation. Instead of just dictating a bunch of rules that work only some of the time, this book teaches you to become a great poker thinker and strategist so that you can expertly navigate any poker challenge you encounter. Most players think the goal of poker is to make money. They're wrong! The goal of poker is to make good decisions. Money is simply the way you measure how well you're meeting that objective. So if you're ready to start making world-class decisions at the poker table - and to reap the substantial rewards that those decisions will yield - all you have to do is decide: Decide to Play Great Poker now. You'll never be vexed by "it depends" again.
©2011 Annie Duke and John Vorhaus (P)2011 Spoken Word Inc
"Annie is the rare player who not only plays well but is also an amazing teacher. She and John Vorhaus have closed an important gap in poker lit by writing about the art of poker, not the mechanics. This is an essential book for anyone who wants to take their game to its peak." (Erik Seidel, All-time tournament-poker money leader)
"Make the Decision to Buy this Audio Book"
I was very impressed with Annie Duke's "Decide to play great poker."

I have read upward of 20+ books on poker, mostly before the online teaching sites came out. For my money the best book I ever read on poker was, and still is, Sklanski's "The theory of Poker." Mostly, because Sklanki is not trying to tell you how to play each hand, but rather how to think your way through a hand. Annie is very similar in her approach, and thus I would rank it right up their with "Theory." This is a very accesable book for those with a poker background, and Annie writes well in a very conversational tone.

I would liken Annie's book to a decision model that I used to put together to organize masses of information in law school to prepare for a test, or a logic flow chart a programmer may put together to understand a piece of software she is working on. Annie tries to analyze many situations you may encounter such as Top pair in position with the lead, vs. one oppenent. She discusses what you do, and more importantly WHY? The answer to the why question is so important, because this allows you to adjust her advice to the way your particular oppent(s) is playing under the situation she has analyzed in the book.

For example, if she gives you some advice to raise with top pair on a bord of A77, because someone who has three of a kind is not likely to bet out in fear of losing a customer, if you know your opponent is caplable of betting out with the set you may decide to play differently. Just an example of the cocept, not of her particluar advice.

Her style of talking about poker is her biggest strength. She speaks about general situations you will face, and that makes it easier to apply than the replay of a specific hand you get in ohter books.

Example: she might say you have either top two pair or a set on a board like A92 three different suits, and then go through how you would play from different spots against different player(s). As opposed to other authors who give you A9 and say a flop specifically Ac 2h 9s. Then you extract the general message and try to determine what kind of other hands that may apply to. Both styles have hteir merrits, but it is an interesting teaching style.

The best things I found in the book, and their are many good things to choose from, are her discussion about suited cards (over rated), and how she thinks trough many situations, and demonstrates that often the best play is the same whether your oppopnent has the high end of his/her range or the low end, making your decision much easier than you would have thought. Her discussion of starting hands, and pre flop raise sizing are close seconds to the discussions above.

If I had one complaint, and it really isn't much of one, it would be more Annie, give me more similar analysis of more situations. Though poker is a game with infinint situations, many similar situatins repeat themselves over and over again. She covers a great deal of those common situtations, but I would love to see more explained in future work. (Are you listenining Annie?)

As forthe audio experience vs book form, I recomend hte audio for this work, because it makes you work more yourself. You have to listen closely, and put yourself at th table, in the position and witht he holding type she describes. This mirrors the the type of concetration it tkes tothink at the table.

As I tweeted Annie a few weeks ago, the book changed the questions I ask myself when I am in a hand.

"So much better than expected."
Substance, Execution, Non-filler.
Not a story.
Made me no longer hate Annie.
I bought this audio book, not expecting much. Most, if not all of the poker literature by famous poker players is junk, with lots of fluff and self adulation. Being the poker junkie I am, I went ahead and downloaded it. Right from the start Annie jumps into discussing theory and concepts of the game in a way that shows what can only be the mind of not only a good player but a great teacher who's sole purpose was to put out a great product. And it is. A lot of
I am inspired by the beautiful women, girls, and men who I've met over the years that lack the self-esteem to recognize their own beauty.
"This should not be an audio book"
There are some great ideas here. I have a different view of why some things work at the table.
Like most poker books, this is a book that needs illustrations and so does not work in audio book format. For 20 min I can concentrate and it is interesting but after a while it is just a narrator naming off cards. "Let say you hold ace queen suited and the flop comes 7 of hearts 3 of diamonds and king of hearts". . . blah blah blah for many many hours. Really can everyone else focus that well that they can see all this in their head in hour two of this book? I just fall asleep.
Really your kidding right?
Buy the paper version.
"Conceptual Poker! Not rules for poker!! Awesome!"
I can't really compare them. This is a strategy book whereas my others are for pure enjoyment of the story.
There really are no characters in this book, but I will say that I believe Annie's narration of this book was really too fast. I had to rewind it constantly to allow the concepts of what was being said to really "soak in." She obviously knows this stuff so well that she doesn't have to think about it, but for those of us listening to this book we need it a little slower. Otherwise we probably wouldn't have purchased the book in the first place. Now, don't get me wrong, I still loved this book and it was worth all the rewinding I had to do. But, just wish she had slowed down.
Good Good Book. If you are interested in thinking about how to play No-Limit Hold'em on a deeper conceptual level, this is a great book to use.
"Very standard poker advice."
This book could have dove into a few deeper topics about poker, but it stayed true to more basic concepts of the game. The book offered inspiration while refreshing some of those concepts, and that is probably where the book is most valuable. If you're a poker player who already knows a bit about the mechanics of your game, you would like this book to give you a refresher and maybe a boost in confidence about what decisions you make with poker. All in all, it's great game strategy review for poker players, as well as a refresher to thinking about the game.
"Great information for the average to good player"
Annie Duke explains her thinking and what she thinks her opponents might be thinking about in a wide range of situations.
Harrington's books, for the thoughts behind the play
"Bunch of regurgitated Sklansky"
Annie's voice is unbearably annoying. That alone makes this book a pain to listen to. Information is not original, generalized and nothing I did not know before...
No, get Sklansky, and think on your own
ANYONE, Elmo from Sesame Street would have been better. Miley Cyrus with her alcoholic voice, anyone.
The first 3 chapters written by Captain Obvious.
No, I am tired already
"best poker book ive read yet"
Just solid all the way through. Really good book for someone that knows general concepts.
"Epic content, bit outdated"
Very good to get a solid game. Use this book as a base and go to but try to add on the newer strategies like overbets for example. Hard to follow the pace at times but great stuff overall.
"Solid advice, fantastic narration"
What I loved best about this audiobook is Annie's reading of it. I could get the same information (all fantastic) from reading the print version, but Annie does an excellent job of narrating, and she's funny too.
What I really like about this book is that Annie Duke makes it clear that, while there are definitely guidelines that give you an advantage over your opponents, there is no "always do this" advice; From the first few lines, she makes it clear that poker is extremely context-dependent, so that you will likely play the same two cards differently depending on position, pot size, and your opponents. Her philosophy is rooted strongly in game theory, and perhaps because I know a bit of game theory from an animal behavior perspective, her ideas made complete sense to me. I am still a very novice poker player, but I feel that not only was this book easy to comprehend, it was also easy for me to try to put into practice much of her advice. And in case you are wondering, here are the first few lines of the first chapter, with the section titled: "The First Rule is There are No Rules." "Study the following chart of starting hands very carefully. Did you notice that there's no chart? Good." Rather than focusing on what exactly to do in specific situations, Annie tries to prepare you to know how to make good decisions, regardless of the situation, and she does it with humor and intelligence.
The most laugh-out-loud moment in the book... The scenario: you have AQo, multiway pot, in position, you bet pre-flop from the button, get four callers, and a bet on the flop gets you to three players when the turn card comes out, and player A bets on the turn... "With a hand like AQ on an A-9-3-x board, you're basically hoping that player A has lost his mind and bet into two players on the turn with AJ or worse and that B has somehow managed to call with AJ or worse. That seems unlikely at best. Obviously, the looser (or drunker) the players, the greater likelihood that this mass insanity has taken place."Annie's reading of this is hilarious and perfect. Another favorite part, that ends with a line that rings in my head when facing low suited connectors (in her example, the hand is 8(spades) 7(spades)... "The first thing I have to ask you is why are you playing this hand? If you're in early position and your answer is anything other than, "Because it's suited," you're kind of lying, because you know that if you held 8(spades) 7(hearts), you'd fold it like an origami swan, so that's that. Okay, maybe everyone folded to you in the cutoff and you raised. I'm down with that, totally. You could have also been forced into the hand in the blinds. I get that too. But anything other than those, especially from early position, and you're playing the hand because it's suited! Stop that! Now!"
Be prepared to listen to this book several times, and to rewind and listen to parts over again. It is certainly a lot of information to digest in audio format, with a constant barrage of hand and action descriptions. I have also found that listening, trying to implement advice, and then listening again (and again), allows me to have a greater understanding and appreciation for what Annie is saying in any given situation. Overall, a very enjoyably listen!
"Surprise! One of the best poker books I have read"
I have been playing poker live and online for a few years and I have read all the basics (Harrington, Gordon, Sklansky). I want to improve, stop making mistakes and better understand the game. I have been looking for more contemporary books that acknowledge the way the game has changed, are not just retrofit strategy or ego trips and move on from the basics e.g. Gordon Gold which I recommend if you want to get ranges. This book is everything Duhamel's book is not, intelligent, practical, unemotional, well reasoned and well structured. It has already helped my game although Ms Duke is right that some of the techniques feel a little odd at times and you often want to revert to your old game - resist! For those tennis players it is like a coach trying to change your serve from something that usually gets the ball in but doesn't win many points, to a real weapon that wins you games. As soon as the coach isn't there you slip back into old ways, especially when under pressure. Use the practice drills at the end of the book and stick at it.
As a Brit, Ms Duke's voice and style are a little irritating at first but get through that and you will start to enjoy the conversational approach and occasional suspect language.
"Good listen, but know your poker terms first"
As I always say, a book read by the author is worth getting. This is no exception. Passionate about the subject, Annie offers help to those who want to know more about how top poker players think. Only problem was that she used too many poker terms without explaining what they meant that made the story hard to follow. I did come a way with a few "nuggets" I continue to use.
"I am sure some people will find it useful"
I am sure some people will find it useful. The narrator is annoying and the information is common sense. There are better books to spend your money on.

Sounds like you need to install grub again from ubuntu and maybe manually create the menu.lst
I tried to perform a triple install using Windows XP already installed, Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic Koala already installed, and tried to install Backtrack 4 Final in to the mix. The XP loader worked but the Ubuntu loader gave me an error 15, which I have corrected, but grub doesn't have the option to boot into Backtrack anymore. Can I manually add it or something in Grub2?
Using Dell Inspiron 640m POS w/ 2gigs RAM, 2ghz Intel Core 2 Duo Dual-core processor, w/ XP, Ubuntu 9.10, and Backtrack 4 Installed but floating somewhere on the harddrive.
Thanks in advance
Sounds like you need to install grub again from ubuntu and maybe manually create the menu.lst
You should be able to run update-grub from Ubuntu terminal. And that will detect all OS's. No need for manual editing.
Grub2 is not part of BT4
Grub2 is not meant to be edited like Grub1 here's how to reinstall Grub2
Using Ubuntu 9.10 livecd
Here assuming the Ubuntu partition is sda7,and /boot partition is sda6 (if you have a separate /boot partition).
Boot up ubuntu from the livecd,open terminal and run:
Reboot into ubuntu and runCode:sudo -i mount /dev/sda7 /mnt mount /dev/sda6 /mnt/boot #skip this one if not have a separate /boot partition grub-install --root-directory=/mnt/ /dev/sda
all done.Code:sudo update-grub
From here Grub 2 Basics - Ubuntu Forums
maybe you have to check grub using this command
gksudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst
set the backtrack boot configuration
It's probably easier to use the Ubuntu grub only, as it's the one that will change more often with kernel updates (I expect BT4 to remain more 'frozen' to its release version, as in the past). 9.10 installed grub2 as well, correct? It uses the dynamic entry building with the scripts (in Ubuntu) under /etc/grub.d. You can try copying the BT4 grub entry to 40_custom and rebuild using update-grub. The problem would be if you can't boot to BT4, you won't have the working grub entry Maybe someone else can post it, I haven't installed BT4-final yet. Here's a link on Grub2:

LONG BEACH - Possible student cheating incidents at a dozen California schools, including Long Beach's Millikan High School, have delayed the release of the state standardized test results this year, officials said.
The California Department of Education is investigating 11 high schools and one middle school after students taking the Standardized Testing and Reporting exam, known as STAR, in April posted images of test materials on social networking sites, said Department of Education spokeswoman Pam Slater.
Slater said the photos mostly included closed test booklets and blank answer documents, but 36 images showed clearly readable test questions.
In the Long Beach Unified School District, a 10th- grader at Millikan apparently posted an image from a geometry test on a social networking website, said LBUSD spokesman Chris Eftychiou.
A Millikan administrator met with the student and a parent and the school is now determining what discipline will be taken, he said.
"In any case, we'll revisit this issue with test coordinators at the schools to keep testing conditions as secure as possible," Eftychiou wrote in an email. "About 18,000 high school students took these tests in our school district this year, and this was the only breach reported here, but we take it seriously. We're firmly committed to protecting the integrity and fairness of the testing process."
The STAR test results were originally expected to be released in mid-August but will now be released on Aug. 31, Slater said. The delay will push back the release of the state's Academic Performance Index scores, which are now expected in early October.
So far, experts haven't found evidence that the online images had a significant impact on test results, Slater said.
However, the Department of Education is still investigating and is expected to decide this week how it will handle incidents at each school, she said, adding that in a worst-case outcome, a school's test scores could be disqualified.
Other schools under investigation include:
Castillero Middle in San Jose
Glendale High
North Monterey County High
Rowland High in Rowland Heights
Oak Hills High, Hesperia
San Jose High
Mar Vista Senior High, Imperial Beach
Strathmore High in Porterville
University City High in San Diego
Watsonville High
North Hollywood High
Slater said a student who allegedly cheated claimed to attend North Hollywood High on a social media site but is possibly attending a charter school.

I hear your pain. Alfa AWUS036H 1000mW (formerly 500mW) Long-distance USB Wireless Adapter + Antenna is a nice one.
My laptop has the dreaded BCM4312 broadcom driver issue ive been trying since BT4 release to get drivers working but i have given up, instead im looking for a widely supported usb or pci card
thanks in advance
I hear your pain. Alfa AWUS036H 1000mW (formerly 500mW) Long-distance USB Wireless Adapter + Antenna is a nice one.
I've had very good luck with the DLink WUA-1340 which can be found nearly everywhere, and online for pretty cheap. The bonus of this adapter is that you will find a small RF port on the PC board when you disassemble it. I've been able to attach an external antenna to this and dramatically improve my reception/range.
You. Are. Doing. It. Wrong.
I use the HWUG1 (RT73) as well, with a variety of antennas. Also, there are multiple cards with RTL8187 chip sets that work great out of the box!
"Failing to plan is planning to fail"
thou shalt treat all computers as thou wouldst treat thyself, for thou art the creator of thine own problems.
Oh boy, oh boy, oh boy! I just got my Alfa AWUS036H 1000mW in the mail today! Holy EFF! I'm picking up stuff from far, far, far away. Like the free-wifi AP two blocks away! This thing is nuts!
Ran airodump-ng, and I don't have a big enough term window for all the APs this is picking up; I'll have to force it to search a narrower band, or shrink my font to unreadable proportions before it all fits on the screen... Then again, I DO live in an apartment building.
I have to say, this is definitely at least a 10-up from my borked Nintendo WiFi Adapter.
Good Buy! $33 USD + S&H from DBRoth.
thou shalt treat all computers as thou wouldst treat thyself, for thou art the creator of thine own problems.
What was the original card you were using? That would be great for comparison, maybe your old card just sucked
I don't understand why the 1000mW would be better than 500mW. As I understand it, that is only for broadcast power. Without a corresponding increase in antenna dBs, what good is more broadcast power?
I still can't pick up the signal from my University's wireless. But it is like 1km away from my apartment, so I never expected it to. I'm now waiting for my new 14dbi yagi antenna to arrive, that should do the trick.

And now, Jacoby Ellsbury is the one transitioning from Boston, where he won two World Series championships, to the Bronx, where the Yankees are hoping the speedy center fielder can help them recapture that type of glory.
When the forever rivals open a four-game series Thursday night at Yankee Stadium, it will mark the first time Ellsbury plays against the Red Sox during his career.
The Red Sox selected Ellsbury in the 2005 First-Year Player Draft, and placed him in their leadoff spot from 2008-13.
Ellsbury is off to a hot start with his new team, although he went 0-for-4 on Wednesday against the Orioles after taking a .414 average into the game.
The Red Sox know full well what he is capable of.
"Obviously the biggest thing is keeping him off the base," said Red Sox manager John Farrell. "He can create a lot of havoc. It was fun to see him in your own uniform. As dynamic a player as he can be, he's going to benefit from the dimensions in that ballpark. But I think we've got a pretty clear understanding of where his strengths are and how we execute to that will be the key for us just trying to control him."
Clay Buchholz, Ellsbury's longtime teammate, will be Boston's first pitcher entrusted with keeping the leadoff man off the bases.
"He's just a high-caliber center fielder, high-caliber leadoff guy," said Red Sox outfielder Jonny Gomes. "It will be a little bit interesting for the core guys who have seen him in a Red Sox uniform their whole life. I think there's a lot more stories in between the lines than that one. It will be a good series."
Ellsbury had a chance to reunite with some of Boston's players before a Spring Training game in Tampa, Fla., but he didn't play that day because of an injury.
"I mean, you spend nine years with one organization, and you're drafted by them, went through the Minor League system and everything, it'll be different [to play against them] obviously," Ellsbury said in March. "But I'm definitely excited for the opportunity I have here. I'm definitely blessed to play in that organization. I won two championships. Those are the memories I'm going to have, all the positive stuff. But yeah, I feel very fortunate to be over here with these guys, it's a great organization. These guys are hungry, wanting to win."
This is the first of 19 meetings between the rivals this season.
Ellsbury will come to Fenway for the first time since the World Series parade on April 22, when the Yankees come in for a three-game series.
"I think it'll be interesting for him," said Yankees manager Joe Girardi. "My thought process is that it'll be a little bit more interesting when we go there. He'll have a lot more people that are happy that he's here than maybe when we go there."
Red Sox: Buchholz hopes to bounce back
Buchholz produced the exact opposite of what he was looking for in his 2014 debut, when the Brewers rocked him for 13 hits and six runs over 4 1/3 innings.
The right-hander and Farrell both were adamant that health didn't play a role in the subpar effort.
Buchholz hopes to redeem himself against the Yankees.
"I don't think you see true velocity built until you get into the month of May and see how they maintain it over the course of the entire outing," said Farrell. "Regardless of what a pitcher has, it still comes down to location."
Yankees: Pineda looks to build off first start
In Michael Pineda's first Major League start since 2011, he fared well, holding the Blue Jays to five hits and a run over six innings.
However, Pineda took a tough-luck loss and will try to reel in his first win for the Yankees on Thursday.
"I'm very happy about everything, because everything is doing good, and that's what I'm looking for," said Pineda after that start. "I've been working hard for the last two years to be here, and I'm happy with it."
Worth noting
- No Boston hitter has more than three career at-bats against Pineda.
- Red Sox outfielder Grady Sizemore, who is playing in the Majors for the first time since 2011, has two homers and five RBIs in 39 career at-bats at Yankee Stadium.
- Major League Baseball announced on Wednesday that a new award will be presented annually to each league's best reliever, with the American League award being named for legendary Yankees closer Mariano Rivera.
- Masahiro Tanaka fanned 10 in his Yankee Stadium debut on Wednesday night, though he came away with a no-decision.

The expanding scrutiny of Utah Attorney General John Swallow will take major steps on two fronts this week:
First • House Speaker Becky Lockhart is expected to appoint members of a special House committee to investigate the state's top cop.
Second • The lieutenant governor plans to name a special counsel to probe questions surrounding Swallow's campaign-financial disclosures.
The House and Senate will meet in a special legislative session Wednesday to clarify the powers of the House committee and to allow some of the panel's work to be done in private.
The Republican-led House voted 69-3 earlier this month to create the committee, but issues arose relating to the chairman's authority to issue subpoenas and grant immunity to witnesses. Lawmakers also want panelists to have the authority to close meetings in which they discuss strategy, receive legal advice and interview witnesses whose public testimony could impede one of the ongoing criminal investigations.
Even so, House leaders have said they desire to keep the committee's work as open to the public as possible.
Lockhart, R-Provo, told House members in an email Friday that she will appoint the nine-member investigative committee when legislators gather Wednesday.
Appointment to the panel is entirely at the speaker's discretion, and Lockhart appears to have not shared her thoughts on the matter. Both House Majority Leader Brad Dee, R-Ogden, and Minority Leader Jennifer Seelig, D-Salt Lake City, say they don't know who will be on the committee or what the partisan breakdown will be.
Lockhart was at a legislative conference in Scotland last week but said previously that she recognizes the gravity of her decision.
"Appointing the chair of this committee weighs on me heavily, because this is the person who will direct the work of the committee and potentially look at issuing subpoenas. And those kinds of things, we need the right person to do that," she said. "This isn't a walk in the park. This isn't easy. Nobody relishes in this."
Seelig said she has sent the speaker a list of 10 Democrats who have expressed a willingness to serve on the committee but did not rank them.
"People want to step up and recognize it's going to be a lot of hard work," Seelig said, "and they're willing to do it."
Democrats sought to give the committee an even four-four split between Republicans and Democrats or to let the chairman vote only to break ties. Both changes were voted down. Seelig said she still believes the best outcome is one in which the public has confidence that the outcome was not subject to partisanship.
Swallow, who is a Republican, is under investigation by federal, state and county officers. He faces a range of allegations, including accusations that he helped broker a bribe to a U.S. senator and received improper gifts.
He has denied wrongdoing and has pledged to cooperate with the committee, though he has expressed fears that the inquiry "could get crazy."
Meantime, the lieutenant governor's office should know by Monday who won the competition to be the special counsel investigating issues related to Swallow's financial-disclosure forms, although the public announcement may not come until later, said Mark Thomas, the office's chief deputy.
Thomas said Swallow's attorneys wanted an opportunity to raise potential conflicts of interest if there are any with the new counsel.
"We felt like it was a fair request they made," Thomas said. "Just because they have a conflict, or [Swallow's lawyers] say they have one, we'll decide if that's sufficient enough to move to the next-highest-scoring proposal or not."
Once the special counsel is named, Thomas said it would likely take a week to work out the contract before the work begins. Fourteen firms were competing for the counsel job, but Thomas said three or four "top-notch firms" rose above the rest.
The special counsel is being appointed to investigate issues raised in a complaint by the liberal-leaning Alliance for a Better Utah alleging Swallow intentionally concealed business interests and payments on his required candidate financial-disclosure forms, specifically his stake in two companies: P-Solutions and SSV.
P-Solutions is a company that was paid $23,500 by Richard Rawle, owner of the Provo-based Check City payday-loan chain. Rawle said in an affidavit before his death that the payment was for consulting work Swallow did on a Nevada cement project, which Swallow also says was the case.
Rawle received the money from Jeremy Johnson, who paid Rawle to help blunt a federal investigation into Johnson's I Works business. Swallow helped arrange the deal but says he received nothing for connecting the two.
After he was a candidate for attorney general, Swallow learned the money came from Johnson and asked for payment from another account.
Swallow removed his name as a manager of P-Solutions the same day he filed for office. His wife remains listed as a manager, but he did not list her interest in the company.
The special counsel will investigate three issues: Whether Swallow should have listed P-Solutions and SSV on his disclosures; whether he should have disclosed $8,500 paid to P-Solutions (the remaining $15,000 came outside the time frame when it would have to be disclosed); and whether he intentionally provided false information on the forms.
Swallow's attorney, Rod Snow, argued his client was not required to list P-Solutions or payments to the company because it is held in trust for his children. There is no mention of his children's trust on P-Solutions' incorporation documents filed with the state.
Snow has said that, if necessary, Swallow would amend his report, but he has not done so.
Special session Wednesday
P The Legislature is scheduled to meet in a special session Wednesday at 12:30 p.m. to clarify the powers of the House's special committee investigating Attorney General John Swallow. Lawmakers also will empower the panel to close some hearings and seal some records until its probe is complete.

More on Computer Programming: Train Kids Early
Starting this September, every single K-12 student in Great Britain will start taking classes in computer programming. That is, kids at the age of five will take programming, and they won't stop until they're 16 at least. A majority of these children will be using the free online learning platform Codecademy, says co-founder Zach Sims. Ditto France, Estonia and Buenos Aires.
In China, Codecademy, which has programming lessons contributed by more than 100,000 people from around the world, has been cloned multiple times.
Meanwhile in the U.S., where education is controlled by the states, fewer than 20 even recognize computer science as a science; the rest consider it an elective.
"Computer science and coding can be learned at any age, but it's certainly easier to learn when you're young," says Hadi Partovi, founder and chief executive of Code.org, which focuses on getting computer programming courses into K-12 schools.
This is the other side of the situation I outlined in my column this week, in which I argued that we should start treating computer programming as a trade and train people accordingly. The issue critical for the future competitiveness of the U.S., and comes amid the worst period of youth unemployment in a generation.
But even if it were a priority, the U.S. simply doesn't have enough instructors to teach computer science to K-12 students, at any level. Overnight, we would need thousands of new programming-literate teachers — some estimates put it at 10,000 or more — and they simply don't exist.
Fortunately, there is a solution: online education.
Now I'm not talking about the well-known style called MOOCs — massive online open courses. These courses, in which educational institutions basically slap lectures and course notes onto the web and let remote students follow along at home, have many shortcomings.
Instead, I'm talking about the kind of education that is perhaps uniquely possible with learning to program online, in which students already have at their fingertips the very computers which they will be learning to manipulate.
Codecademy exemplifies this trend. Sims says that the site employs only two people to create content, and the rest of its lessons are created and maintained by an army of volunteer contributors, just like Wikipedia. Codecademy includes no video instruction, just practice and examples.
Other online education startups employ a variety of other strategies: Treehouse and Code School pair video instruction with quizzes and test programs, for example, and Thinkful matches students with mentors for one-on-one tutoring.
But Sims argues that Codecademy's service means that even teachers who don't know how to program can act as facilitators for Codecademy-powered courses.
"What's best about [learning via the] web is that you can get immediate feedback," says Sims. "You can build and save things, share with friends, collaborate in a community environment."
If a class administered by a teacher who is unfamiliar with its subject matter sounds radical, that's only because we're still locked into a 20th century mindset about what instruction looks like. Time spent progressing through online lessons in which students learn by doing is precisely how so many online academies educate adults in computer programming. So why not children?

Have a look here:
and there:
That should answer your questions.
You do not need to buy a new wireless card at all.
Hi folks...
Just bought a new computer...removed vista and installed xp but the drivers was hard to find.
Anyways, in backtrack. What chipset is this card? Intel Wireless WiFi Link 4965
Here is a little info on it.. intel.com/network/connectivity/products/wireless/wireless_n/overview.htm
is it Atheroes?
And i have some expresscard slot in this new hp laptop...So i guess this build in card dont support wep cracking and i have to buy some ExpressCard to PCMCIA adapter or something...
Or maybe some card like this. komplett.se/k/ki.aspx?sku=340630
any suggestions? It need to be a good card that supports injection and all in wepcracking. Because the one i got now dont do the job right?
p.s Or maybe im stupid and it supports packet injection and all for speeding up wep cracking...i didnt manage anyways...and i got an message from aireplay-ng that the card might not support it..and so on...thanks.
Or maybe some of these cards work good and you can recommend some of them?
1. data-alliance.net/servlet/the-127/Ubiquiti-SRX-300mW-802.11G/Detail
2. prisjakt.nu/produkt.php?p=212418 <----------Guess thats the card i should buy. D-Link DWA-643, ExpressCard, Atheros...supported in compatibility_drivers [Aircrack-ng]
, so i guess it does packet injection also and all...Dont know if it is supposrted by backtrack 3, but i guess so?
maybe those two supports everything with aircrack and wep cracking? hehe, thanks again. allot of questions..
Have a look here:
and there:
That should answer your questions.
You do not need to buy a new wireless card at all.
Be sensitive in choosing where you ask your question. You are likely to be ignored, or written off as a loser, if you:
* post your question to a forum where it's off topic
* post a very elementary question to a forum where advanced technical questions are expected, or vice-versa
* cross-post to too many different newsgroups
* post a personal e-mail to somebody who is neither an acquaintance of yours nor personally responsible for solving your problem
wow, what a great support forum this is. Thanks! Well, unix is not my strong side. im a total n00b or what you call it...So you have to excuse me. i know windows "in and out"...
So you mean i have to install backtrack as a dual boot and not runt it with the live cd, and then..
Update the backtrack Kernel - 184.108.40.206 to kernel 18.104.22.168 ? As said in this thread..
Re: Intel iwlwifi drivers with injection * WORKING with 3945 & 4965 cards * replyed by grandstream???
And then follow his post?
Or do i just need to install the iwlwifi-1.2.25 driver or the mac80211-10.0.4 driver in backtrack 3...? of this page.. intellinuxwireless.org/?n=downloads
Im lost Please explain a little bit, a littlebit easier if you like. that would be appreciated!
Thanks for you answer!=)
okok, alot of giberrish in the last post...sorry..
But i would be happy if someone coud explain how i can get this wepcracking started.
Thanks. *free beers*
well, later today im gonna use partition magic and make some partition and prepare for backtrack...thought i install it fully from within the shell. Was a good guide here in that. Thanks to that person.
Oh well...i guess ill fix this later. Then my computer will crash because i dont know what the hell im doing tss No, but i was planning to encrypt with drivecrypt to after that.
and a "hidden" xp would be awesome to, but i dont think that is possible to do. I know drivecrypt got that option but with dualboot and backtrack....dont know if it is possible. I will se how i do later on. im out
Not for me thou...
I tried updating the kernel now from the usb version of backtrack final.
Did not go so well, and his methods did not even work.
the command make-kpkg clean did nothing...
I managed to get the kernel in the right directory and all, but...
I just read about some others trying to update the kernel and its really difficult right?
Then i guess i just go out and buy that express card instead..
thanks anyways..too bad backtrack 3 dont support the card...
If the kernel would have been linux-184.108.40.206, then this would be a peice of a cake.
Then this steps should do it.

The Direct Community Free Legal Service
Do You Need a Legal Information or Guidance?
You have a legal problem or dispute. Do you know if you need to hire a Solicitor (Lawyer)? Or could you handle it yourself?
Are you thinking about purchasing a home, opening a business, or writing a Will?
Are you owed money and having difficulty collecting it?
Have you lost a Legal right because you could not afford a solicitor, or did not want to spend money hiring one?
Are you concerned that you might violate some Law, and be sued?
It is almost always better to instruct a solicitor to handle a legal problem or dispute. There are areas of the Law that can be very complex, requiring extensive knowledge that cannot be learned quickly. There are however certain areas of the Law that you can handle matters yourself providing there are no complications.
What are the advantages of handling a legal dispute or problem yourself?
The most obvious advantage is the financial savings you could make. Solicitors usually charge on an hourly basis for time spent on your case. This can prove to be very expensive and in many cases this expense can be avoided or reduced.
Dealing with a matter yourself can also lead to a faster resolution of the matter, as no one is more interested in resolving your problem or dispute than you.
Handling your own legal problems or disputes will be personally rewarding and give you confidence to deal with other problems or disputes you may confront in the future.

Don Herriott to direct Innovista Partnerships
University of South Carolina President Harris Pastides has appointed Don Herriott to be the director of Innovista Partnerships. The appointment is effective Feb. 1.
Don Herriott
Pastides said Herriott's experience in business and leadership and his reputation as a strategic thinker make him an ideal choice for the position.
"Don's proven business acumen and his considerable private-sector leadership experience make him an ideal choice to carry Innovista to its next stage of development," Pastides said. "Moreover, he fully understands both the unique character and the vital importance of Innovista to this city and region."
Herriott, who retired as head of Roche Global Chemical Manufacturing in November, said his responsibilities will include working with university, community and business leaders to advance the strategic plan for Innovista, the university's innovative research district.
Herriott said his strengths are creating partnerships and developing focus and that he is eager to lead the team that will accelerate the development of the vision for Innovista.
"Innovista is far more than just buildings," Herriott said. "It represents a new way of thinking and a vision where people live, work, and play. By involving leaders and entrepreneurs across the community, we can build partnerships that will develop and commercialize intellectual property and drive economic development in the Midlands and the region."
Herriott began his career in the banking industry in San Francisco. In 1981, he joined SYNTEX, an international pharmaceutical company, where he held key management positions in information technology, manufacturing, engineering, global telecommunications and corporate logistics at Palo Alto, Calif., and Boulder, Colo.
After SYNTEX was acquired by Roche in 1994, Herriott took positions with that corporation, eventually becoming international project director for global projects in Europe, North America and the Caribbean Islands.
He came to Florence in 1996 as president and CEO of Roche Carolina. In 2004, he was named head of Roche Global Chemical Manufacturing, responsible for the operations at its pharmaceutical manufacturing sites in South Carolina, Colorado, Switzerland, Ireland, Mexico, Austria and Germany.

3 Stocks Rising on Big Volume - views
DELAFIELD, Wis. (Stockpickr) -- Professional traders running mutual funds and hedge funds don't just look at a stock's price moves; they also track big changes in volume activity. Often when above-average volume moves into an equity, it precedes a large spike in volatility.
Major moves in volume can signal unusual activity, such as insider buying or selling -- or buying or selling by "superinvestors."
Unusual volume can also be a major signal that hedge funds and momentum traders are piling into a stock ahead of a catalyst. These types of traders like to get in well before a large spike, so it's always a smart move to monitor unusual volume. That said, remember to combine trend and price action with unusual volume. Put them all together to help you decipher the next big trend for any stock.
>>5 Stocks Set to Soar on Bullish Earnings
With that in mind, let's take a look at several stocks rising on unusual volume today.
Sothebys (BID) is an auctioneer of authenticated fine art, antiques and decorative art, jewelry and collectibles. This stock closed up 3.6% at $45.91 in Wednesday's trading session.
Wednesday's Volume: 2.62 million
Three-Month Average Volume: 1.23 million
Volume % Change: 121%
>>5 Stocks With Big Insider Buying
From a technical perspective, BID ripped higher here right off some near-term support at $44 and briefly into breakout territory above resistance at $45.98 with high strong upside volume. At last check, BID closed just below that breakout level of $45.98 and below its intraday high and new 52-week high of $46.32. This stock has been uptrending strong for the last three months and change, with shares soaring higher from its low of $32.95 to its high of $46.32. During that move, shares of BID have been consistently making higher lows and higher highs, which is bullish technical price action.
Traders should now look for long-biased trades in BID as long as it's trending above support at $44 or above some more key near-term support at $42.41 and then once it sustains a move or close above its new 52-week high at $46.32 with volume that hits near or above 1.23 million shares. If we get that move soon, then BID will set up to enter new 52-week-high territory, which is bullish technical price action. Some possible upside targets off that move are $50 to $55.
JinkoSolar (JKS) is a solar power product manufacturer. This stock closed up 3.6% to $14.21 in Wednesday's trading session.
Wednesday's Volume: 2.86 million
Three-Month Average Volume: 745,439
Volume % Change: 311%
Shares of JKS jumped higher on Wednesday after the company said shipments of solar modules rose 44.5% from the first quarter to 489.2 MW, and revenue jumped 51.7% to $287.6 million.
>>5 Rocket Stocks to Buy Before They Blast Off
From a technical perspective, JKS trended up here with heavy upside volume. This stock has been uptrending strong for the last four months, with shares soaring higher from its low of $3.96 to its intraday high of $15.62. During that uptrend, shares of JKS have been making mostly higher lows and higher highs, which is bullish technical price action. That move briefly pushed shares of JKS into breakout and new 52-week-high territory, since the stock hit an intraday high of $15.62.
Traders should now look for long-biased trades in JKS as long as it's trending above some near-term support at $13.50 or at $13 and then once it sustains a move or close above Wednesday's high of $15.62 with volume that hits near or above 745,439 shares. If we get that move soon, then JKS will set up to enter new 52-week-high territory, which is bullish technical price action. Some possible upside targets off that breakout are $17.50 to $20.
NRG Energy
NRG Energy (NRG) is a wholesale power generation and retail electricity company that produces and delivers energy and energy services in major competitive power markets in the U.S. This stock closed up 3.9% at $26.52 in Wednesday's trading session.
Wednesday's Volume: 7.31 million
Three-Month Average Volume: 3.67 million
Volume % Change: 110%
>>5 Short-Squeeze Stocks Ready to Pop
From a technical perspective, NRG spiked sharply higher here right above some near-term support at $25.24 and right above its 200-day moving average at $24.79 with strong upside volume. This move is quickly pushing shares of NRG within range of triggering a near-term breakout trade. That trade will hit if NRG manages to take out its 50-day moving average at $26.88 to more near-term overhead resistance at $27.07 with high volume.
Traders should now look for long-biased trades in NRG as long as it's trending above its 200-day at $24.79 and then once it sustains a move or close above those breakout levels with volume that's near or above 3.67 million shares. If that breakout triggers soon, then NRG will set up to re-test or possibly take out its next major overhead resistance levels at $27.50 to $28.50. Any high-volume move above those levels will then give NRG a chance to tag its 52-week high at $29.19.
