My way as well as joker5bb's way are both valid ways of achieving the end result of getting the absolute most out of the hardware that we purchased. Which way you choose to go (or for that matter, maybe experimenting and finding another route that works for you) is entirely up to you. You just have to realize that if you aren't that familiar with linux, you will have to pick up some books or search the net for answers because this isn't a linux 101 forum. That's what they have ubuntuforum for.
Technically, this thread and the other thread really have really nothing to do with BackTrack per se (other than wireless know-how) and I'm glad the mod's haven't just shut it down. Good luck with all of the info you have received and don't get discouraged. It's the only way you will fully grasp linux!
after following your route and reach the 20 dBm level, i will try joker's way to reach 30 dBM. last note from me on this subject is : thanks for all the info and advice while
expressing that i have max. respect for you guys.

Richmond native joins Ball State coaching staff
Billy Wright, a Richmond native with coaching experience at both the college and high school levels, has been hired as an assistant men's basketball coach at Ball State.
Wright, a former head coach at Pike High School in Indianapolis, comes to Ball State after serving most recently as the associate head coach at Western Illinois for Jim Molinari.
The former Richmond High School and Bradley University standout joins associate head coach Brett Nelson and fellow assistant Jason Grunkemeyer on new head coach James Whitford's first staff at Ball State.
"Billy comes very highly regarded from a lot of people in the state of Indiana," Whitford said. "He is well connected in the state. Billy was a great player at both Richmond High School and Bradley. He has worked for a person I respect a lot in Coach Molinari, who had great things to say about him. Billy has a great background as a person, as a player and as a successful coach."
Wright spent five seasons as an assistant at Western Illinois, including the past three as associate head coach. He helped Molinari -- a one-time Ball State assistant -- turn the program around.
Wright helped guide the Leathernecks to the first two postseason appearances in their 30-year NCAA Division I history with College Basketball Invitational berths in each of the past two seasons. In 2012-13, Western Illinois had its best season ever at the Division I level, posting a 22-9 record and sharing the Summit League regular season championship.
"This is a great opportunity, being from Indiana, to come back home and recruit the state of Indiana hard," Wright said. "Ball State is the right place in terms of being able to win. With the great tradition, facilities and support that are here, it has the ingredients to be a special place.
"I believe in Coach Whitford's philosophy and approach to the game, which was successful at Miami, Xavier and Arizona. That's something I definitely wanted to be a part of and assist him in bringing that success here to Ball State."
Before going to Western Illinois, Wright spent 12 years coaching high school basketball at Pike and Ben Davis High Schools in Indianapolis. He was the head coach at Pike for two seasons from 2006-08 after serving five years as a varsity assistant at the school.

During his time at Pike, Wright helped coach and develop three players who went on to be first-round NBA draft picks -- Courtney Lee (Orlando Magic, 2008), Jeff Teague (Atlanta Hawks, 2009) and Marquis Teague (Chicago Bulls, 2012).
As a player, Wright was an Indiana All-Star as a high school senior in 1992 after leading Richmond to a state championship. He went on to a have a standout career at Bradley, helping the Braves to a Missouri Valley Conference title and an NCAA Tournament appearance during his all-conference senior season in 1996. A three-time All-MVC Defensive Team selection, Wright was later inducted into the Bradley University Hall of Fame in 2007.
Wright earned his bachelor's degree from Bradley in 1996. He is married to Monica Wright.

Director, Fort Concho
National Historic Landmark
Published November 2009
To the many people who drive by daily on South Oakes Street just south of downtown San Angelo, Fort Concho has been here forever, and in a way, they are right. The two dozen limestone buildings that surround the currently lush Parade Ground date from the late 1860s and 1870s, and they represented the first permanent structures and settlement in the region. In the years that followed, "Santa Angela" established itself as a "whiskey and sin" village across the Concho River to separate the soldiers from their monthly pay. Over the next 22 years, the fort and the town grew and prospered together, and both underwent many changes when the U. S. Army marched away fron Fort Concho forever in June 1889.
The arrival of a railroad connection in 1888 and a second, direct rail line in 1909, helped San Angelo grow into an agricultural and ranching trade center. The old post had new occupants as civilians took up the homes that the soldiers abandoned.
The Santa Rita oil boom to the west in 1923 brought vast wealth to the city and soon the community had a new city hall, county courthouse, movie theater, hotels, office buildings, churches and a new neighborhood, appropriately named Santa Rita. Much of modern San Angelo stems from that 1923 oil strike. Meanwhile, historic preservation of Fort Concho starts in the 1920s, with the dreams and vision of Mrs. Ginevra Wood Carson, an effort that continues today nearly 90 years later.
Today, Fort Concho is considered among the best preserved frontier forts west of the Mississippi, and the long effort to save and restore it is as old as those of nationally known sites like Colonial Williamsburg in Virginia and Greenfield Village near Detroit. The fort board and staff have been guided by a simple premise to physically restore the post to its 1870s appearance, but make it serve the widest possible audience within the broadest level of public service and education. That expanded mission within the heart of a major West Texas city justifies the motto, "Not Just a Frontier Fort."
Many might not realize that Fort Concho has been a western art, photography and sculpture center in recent years. Believing that history can be interpreted through artistic means, the fort has brought a wide range of special exhibits to the site. Mexican retablo art, Native American photography, sculptures of western cowboys and soldiers, and portraits of the "Cowgirls of the Rodeo" have all brought the American West to life with color and style.
Fort Concho has also interpreted the lives of the Mexican vaquero and the famed African American Buffalo Soldiers with sculptures and paintings. On a daily basis the fort has several Eddie Dixon western sculptures on display plus an impressive Clyde Heron painting of Ranald MacKenzie's attack at the Battle of Palo Duro Canyon. A 2011 photography display will cover the history of Women in Baseball.
Another lesser known part of the fort's resources is its impressive library and archives—a collection of books, photographs, microfilm, military records, vertical files, magazines and journals, and original records. These materials cover western, military and pioneer history, plus the heritage of San Angelo's earliest years. Included in the collection are the papers of architects, doctors, bankers and businessmen. Genealogists find family in the Bible collection, military records, census records and city directories. Authors, historians, archeologists and students all make use of the wonderful research resources residing at the fort.
Behind the scenes sits the Fort Concho Collections, a warehouse of thousands of artifacts reflecting several centuries of human activity. Pioneer dresses, colorful quilts, weapons, farm and ranching tools, period furniture, toys, household items and military uniforms represent 80 years of collecting, a process that never ends.
In recent years fort staff members have created one or two special displays taken from these holdings, a tradition that will continue for years as there is so much to show. The fort welcomes future donations of items that fit the western/pioneer themes as well as the collecting time period of 1850–1920.
Fort Concho is also lucky to have its own "Army," a living history program that has grown to cover the heritage of the Infantry, Cavalry, Buffalo Soldiers, Artillery, and various ladies' roles, including laundresses and officers' wives. In addition to the human element, equines played a major role in the establishment of Fort Concho. The recent acquisition of a mule team, Mac and Joe, brings that aspect to life, and soon visitors will see the fort's period wagons rumbling across the Parade Ground. Mac and Joe live in the fort's Living History Stables, a modern facility dressed in period stone that serves the fort's mules and volunteer cavalry unit.
Fort Concho's "troops" maintain a very active schedule, covering 50 events and programs annually, with many out-of-town "campaigns" at other historic forts, community festivals, and heritage events.
Throughout the year, the fort offers a wide range of programs that go beyond the standard walking tour—and those are exceptional, too, with the guides dressed in period uniform or 1800s clothing. In March, guests can learn more about Victorian fashion and customs with the annual Frontier Ladies School, and in October, the guns will sound for the site's yearly Artillery Training School. During the Wednesday lunch hours in April and September, a wide range of local heritage topics and current events are addressed in our Speakers Series. In the summer, children enjoy "Fun at the Fort" and try their hand at 1800s games and baseball, soldiering, Native American crafts, chuck wagon cooking, and quilting and sewing.
For over 30 years, Fort Concho has offered the Frontier School, a recreated 1880s school day, held in the Schoolhouse/Chapel. Area fourth grade students raise the flag with a soldier and may visit him in the barracks. They perform lessons with 1880s slate board; eat their lunches out of old lunch pails, and get their recess exercise with a game of "Annie Over," a popular ball game of the day. Children, whose parents enjoyed the same program in its earlier days, now attend!
Holidays offer more opportunities for the fort to expand its reach with Buffalo Soldier Day in February, Armed Forces Day and Memorial Day in May, and National Museum Day in September, when the staff produces a special display taken from the site's collections. The annual Archaeology Fair in October makes all history fun and "hands on" with a make-believe dig, ancient craft making, pictograph painting and the shooting of a replica 1800s bow.
The site's two largest special events, Frontier Day in June and Christmas at Old Fort Concho in December, each transform the site into active and festive place for children of all ages. Frontier Day celebrates our region's agricultural and ranching heritage with sheep dog demonstrations and sheep shearing—two activities the average city child never sees up close, if at all. A mobile dairy classroom covers the many steps that bring milk to one's glass. A rope making machine always has a long line of young people willing to try their hand.
All of the officers' quarters have displays covering a wide range of heritage topics, native plants, 1800s games, with a full pioneer kitchen operating in the rear of Officers' Quarters 6. The Fort Concho Enterprise, an 1800s baseball club patterned after a real team from that age, plays a full game on the Parade Ground according to the rules of their day. Mounted cavalry troops ride about the site and the artillery booms every now and then. The whole day starts early with a Lions Clubs pancake breakfast, and that represents the only activity that has a fee.
As big as Frontier Day appears, the annual Christmas at Old Fort Concho weekend tops it in scale and duration. Created in 1982 as a holiday fundraiser for the fort, the event now covers all 25 buildings and 40-plus acres for an extended three-day weekend. Operated by more than 1,000 volunteers, the event hosts over 15,000 guests, some coming from a dozen foreign countries, 15 states, and several hundred Texas cities and towns. A hundred merchants and artisans fill the various historic buildings while others display their wares in authentic tents on the Parade Ground, offering some unique shopping opportunities. On-going entertainment, children's programs, special exhibits, acres of living history camps and drills, and a food court make this a full-day commitment.
The fort is also a unique place for a meeting or private party, as it makes available eight buildings ranging in capacity from 50 to 600, with different interiors reflecting 1800s Victorian elegance to the simple and massive space of an old stables. The Parade Ground also receives steady attention from area trail rides that end at the fort. Local youth teams play football and baseball on the big field and neighbors walk their dogs at night. The fort encourages such after-hours visitors as the ghosts don't seem to mind.
And what would an old fort be without a few ghosts? Edith Grierson, daughter of the post commander Benjamin Grierson, tragically passed away in the upstairs bedroom of Officers' Quarters 1 on September 9, 1878, a victim of typhoid fever. Her ghost has been spotted by several guests. Lesser known but occasionally seen soldier ghosts have been reported in the barracks. It can get very peaceful on site at night and one's imagination does wander!
For the future, Fort Concho expects to continue with its popular slate of programs and events, while it seeks to rebuild a few missing barracks, create a new Visitor Center, and bring the site back to its 1870s appearance. In a way, the fort fulfills a mission similar to its military founders 135 years ago, providing a public service for traveling guests as well as its local citizens. Fort Concho has always been a part of San Angelo, and thanks to many citizens with vision, the fort will be here in 2017 when it celebrates its 150th birthday.

Call your veterinarian or emergency clinic first to let them know you are coming. After hours, most veterinarians have an emergency number to call on their clinic message. Let them know, as well as you can, what is going on with your pet. This way they can have things ready and be able to help your pet when you get there. Make sure you know or have directions to the clinic. Ask a friend or neighbor to drive – the pet owner is almost always too upset to drive.
Protect Yourself
Before you try to move your pet, make sure you are protected. A pet in pain is more likely to lash out, bite, and scratch, even if he has never done this before. Fashion a muzzle out of gauze, a belt, or tie, or have a muzzle on hand. Do not muzzle an unconscious pet, a pet having trouble breathing, or one who cannot be supervised at all times. You may want a friend to hold your pet's head while you move him, or put an object between your hand and the pet's mouth.
Minimize Pet Movement
Move the pet as little, and as gently, as you can. Encourage your pet to lie down, preferably on his side. If he does not want to lie on his side, this may indicate an injury to his chest, so let him lie down any way he is comfortable.
If your pet has uncontrolled bleeding, apply pressure to the site of the injury with a clean cloth. If your pet is having difficulty breathing or has been vomiting, do not put any pressure on the stomach.
Is Your Pet Immobile?
If your pet cannot get up, treat it as a spinal injury and firmly immobilize him to a board (such as an ironing board or shelf). Slide him gently onto the board, trying to keep his spine straight. Affix him to the board with a belt, gauze, or rope.
If you think a limb is broken, support the whole leg. Do not try to move exposed bones back into place. Instead, cover the break in clean bandaging, such as a clean shirt or towel. Wrap any break loosely in a towel or shirt to restrict movement.
If your pet is small enough, use a sturdy carrier, like the Pet Den. Cover your pet with a blanket to help fight shock. This may also serve to calm the pet.

And here it is: http://www.facebook.com/anti.universal.coverage.club.
From my 2010 paper "Obama's Prescription for Low-Wage Workers; High Implicit Taxes, Higher Premiums":
President Obama argues that a legal requirement for individuals to purchase health insurance is not a tax. Yet many economists, including some of President Obama's economic advisers, consider it to be a type of tax.
Princeton University health economist Uwe Reinhardt writes, "[Just because] the fiscal flows triggered by [the] mandate would not flow directly through the public budgets does not detract from the measure's status of a bona fide tax."
MIT health economist Jonathan Gruber writes, "Suppose … the government mandated that everyone buy full insurance at the average price… . This would not be a very attractive plan to careful consumers … who could view themselves as essentially being taxed in order to support this market, by paying higher premiums than they should based on their risk."
President Obama's National Economic Council chairman Larry Summers writes, "Essentially, mandated benefits are like public programs financed by benefit taxes."
Sherry Glied, President Obama's appointee to assistant secretary for planning and evaluation at the Department of Health and Human Services, writes, "The individual mandate … is in many respects analogous to a tax. It requires people to make payments for something whether they want it or not."
When the Clinton administration proposed an individual mandate in 1993, the CBO went so far as to treat the mandatory premiums that Americans would pay as federal revenues and include them in the federal budget. So far, the CBO has not done the same for the mandates in the House and Senate bills. (As Reinhardt suggests, that does not imply that those mandates are not a tax.)
Each bill would also impose penalties on individuals (and employers) who do not comply with the health-insurance mandates. Those penalties would be paid to the Internal Revenue Service along with one's income taxes.
The New Republic reports on an issue that Jonathan Adler and I have been highlighting: an IRS rule that will tax employers and subsidize private health insurance companies without congressional authorization. Why would the IRS issue such a rule? Perhaps because ObamaCare could collapse without it.
The post quotes another law professor who acknowledges the Obama administration faces a serious problem:
"It's fairly decent textual case," says Kevin Outterson, a professor at Boston University Law School, and health care blogger for The Incidental Economist. And if it stood, he says, the consequences could be disastrous.
Disastrous for ObamaCare, that is. But as Adler and I have written previously, if saving ObamaCare means letting the IRS tax employers without congressional authorization, then ObamaCare is not worth saving.
Of course, that is just Reuters paraphrasing me:
Under the new healthcare law, individuals can shop and purchase health insurance through government-created exchanges. If a state refuses to set up its own exchange, the law allows the federal government to set one up instead. Due to a glitch in the original statute, individuals are only eligible for a tax credit if they buy insurance through a state exchange, not a federal one. That allows states to disrupt the system by refusing to set up their own exchanges. To fix this technical problem, the Internal Revenue Service issued a new rule, making the tax credit available for people who purchase insurance on federal exchanges. Conservative watchdogs, including Michael Cannon of the Cato Institute, say the IRS overstepped its bounds and lacked the power to rewrite the law. While no lawsuit has been filed yet, "we're watching the whole exchange issue now," said Diane Cohen of the Goldwater Institute.
One addition and three corrections.
The Washington Post reports, "Few states have been as enthusiastic about the Affordable Care Act as Maryland." For example, Maryland Lt. Gov. Anthony G. Brown (D):
We regulate markets. We have never created markets…
I'm confident we will be successful, but it doesn't come without a healthy dose of concern that when this thing goes live, it will do what it is intended to do.
Odd way to express enthusiasm, really.
Supporters of the Obama health law are incorrectly reading the Supreme Court's ruling as a victory.
First, the ruling severely limited the Obama health law's Medicaid expansion, effectively giving states the green light to refuse to expand their Medicaid programs. Coupled with the fact that the statute already enables states to block the other half-trillion dollars of new entitlement spending, the law is in a very precarious position.
Second, the Court ruled 5-4 that the individual mandate is not a legitimate use of the Commerce Power. That too is a defeat for the government, even if it is of no immediate consequence.
Third, while the Court upheld the individual mandate as a tax, that ruling may be vulnerable to legal challenge.
Chief Justice Roberts wrote, "The Federal Government 'is acknowledged by all to be one of enumerated powers,'" and, "The Constitution's express conferral of some powersmakes clear that it does not grant others." So it is interesting that Roberts did not specify exactly what type of constitutionally authorized tax the mandate is.
As Cato chairman Bob Levy wrote in 2011, that's not an easy thing to do:
Assume, however, the Supreme Court ultimately disagrees and finds that the penalty for not purchasing health insurance is indeed a tax. Nevertheless, say opponents of PPACA, the tax would be unconstitutional. They underscore that taxes are of three types—income, excise, or direct. Each type must meet specified constitutional constraints. Because the mandate penalty under PPACA does not satisfy any of the constraints, it is not a valid tax.
Income taxes, authorized by the Sixteenth Amendment, must (by definition) be triggered by income. Yet the mandate penalty is triggered by the nonpurchase of insurance. Except for an exemption available to low-income families, the amount of the penalty depends on age, family size, geographic location, and smoking status. So the penalty is not an income tax.
Excise taxes are assessed on selected transactions. Because the penalty arises from a nontransaction, perhaps it qualifies as a reverse excise tax. If so, it has to be uniform across the country (U.S. Const., Art. I, sec. 8). But the penalty varies by location, so it cannot be a constitutional excise tax.
Direct taxes are assessed on persons or their property. Because the penalty is imposed on nonownership of property, perhaps it could be classified as a reverse direct tax. But direct taxes must be apportioned among the states by population (U.S. Const., Art. I, sec. 2). The mandate penalty is assessed on individuals without regard to any state's population. Hence, it is not a lawful direct tax.
On the last point, Roberts agreed: "A tax on going without health insurance does not fall within any recognized category of direct tax." But then what kind of constitutionally authorized tax is it?
The dissent suggests the Court has given this issue scant attention:
Finally, we must observe that rewriting [the mandate] as a tax in order to sustain its constitutionality would force us to confront a difficult constitutional question: whether this is a direct tax that must be apportioned among the States according to their population. Art. I, §9, cl. 4. Perhaps it is not (we have no need to address the point); but the meaning of the Direct Tax Clause is famously unclear, and its application here is a question of first impression that deserves more thoughtful consideration than the lick-and-a-promise accorded by the Government and its supporters. The Government's opening brief did not even address the question—perhaps because, until today, no federal court has accepted the implausible argument that [the mandate] is an exercise of the tax power. And once respondents raised the issue, the Government devoted a mere 21 lines of its reply brief to the issue…At oral argument, the most prolonged statement about the issue was just over 50 words…One would expect this Court to demand more than fly-by-night briefing and argument before deciding a difficult constitutional question of first impression.
There is even less discussion about what type of constitutionally authorized tax the mandate is.
I'm not a lawyer. But it seems to me there may be room here for the same individual citizens who brought this case to again file suit against the federal government for trying to impose an unconstitutional tax. It may seem unlikely that Roberts would reverse himself on the Tax Power issue. Then again, since he never specified what type of constitutionally permissible tax the mandate is, perhaps voting to strike the mandate would not be reversing himself.

Date: Tuesday, October 8, 2013
Time: 5:00 pm
Location: Belk Library -- Room 114
Admission: Free, open to the public
Students, faculty and community members are invited to attend the Academy Award winning film, A Separation. There will be a showing of the film on Tuesday, Oct 8 at 5:00 pm in the library, Rm 114. Discussion after the film will be led by Anousha Shahsavari, an artist and language teacher from Iran. Faculty who teach courses that would benefit from a better understanding of families and society in Iran are encouraged to ask their students to attend.
The event is presented by ASU Library in conjunction with the Muslim Students Association as the first event of the Muslim Journeys "Let's Talk About It" Program series of book and film discussions. The Program is supported by a grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) and the American Library Association. This series follows upon the Muslim Journeys Bridging Cultures Program begun in Spring 2013
ABOUT THE FILM: A Separation is a 2011 Iranian film written and directed by Asghar Farhadi. The film focuses on a recently separated Iranian couple and their daughter and the cascading social and legal conflicts that unfold after the husband fires a lower-class care giver of his elderly father who suffers from Alzheimer's disease. This powerful drama explores conflict that cuts across gender and class at the heart of Iranian society. Rotten Tomatoes rates the film a 9 out of 10, describing it as "morally complex, suspenseful, and consistently involving." Roger Ebert described the film as providing "a useful portrait of Iran today" and showing "a more nuanced nation" than is often depicted in cinema generally seen by Americans. "The writer-director's only agenda seems to be to express empathy."
AWARDS: A Separation won the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film in 2012, becoming the first Iranian film to win the award. It also received the Golden Bear for Best Film and the Silver Bears for Best Actress and Best Actor at the 61st Berlin International Film Festival. It also won the Golden Globe for Best Foreign Language Film. Rotten Tomatoes gave it a 9 out of 10 rating describing it as "morally complex, suspenseful, and consistently involving."

TO catches EVERYTHING you throw to him, and just about every time I play the defense double-teams him, leaving Terry Glenn wide open. Jason Witten is always open too, and with all of this I can run at will with Julius Jones. One more thing, the defense is sick too. I hope it turns out like this in real life.

Inland Waterway Commercial Vessel and Tow Delay
Inland Waterway Commercial Vessel and Tow Delay
Monthly data, not seasonally adjusted
Excel | CSV | Table Version
Lock delay is the extra time that commercial traffic spends moving through the nation's inland waterways. This delay is most often the result of high volumes at transit points, as well as occasional failures in equipment. This results in increased operating costs.
For reporting rivers, inland commercial traffic in 2011 spent 231,815 hours in lockage and 221,674 hours delayed, waiting for lockage. The greatest total delay in 2011 was at the Markland Lock on the Ohio River with 52,032 hours.
Monthly data, 12-month centered moving average
A moving average facilitates analysis of trends in highly variable data series.
|Commercial Vessel and Tow Delay
|Total Ohio River System Hours of Delay
|Percent change from same month previous year
|Total Upper Mississippi River System Hours of Delay
|Percent change from same month previous year
|Total Other Waterway Systems Hours of Delay

NOTES: Data for the Upper Mississippi River System includes the Mississippi (north of the Ohio confluence), Illinois, Chicago, and Kaskaskia Rivers. Data for the Ohio River System includes the Ohio, Cumberland, Green, Barren, Kanawha, Allegheny, and Monongahela Rivers. Other rivers for which data are available are the Arkansas River, which has a confluence with the Mississippi below the Ohio, and the Tennessee and Clinch Rivers, which ultimately flow into the Ohio, but also feed traffic to the Tennessee-Tombigbee Waterway.

Photo gallery: Bankrupt city claims another victim, Our Town at the California Welcome Center
SAN BERNARDINO -- Continuing the domino effect of the city's insolvency, the California Welcome Center Inland Empire and San Bernardino Convention & Visitors Bureau are closing their doors, citing lack of funds.
To many, the Welcome Center and Convention and Visitors Bureau were the last positive faces San Bernardino showed the world.
The Welcome Center is a state-franchised tourism information hub that offers visitors information about the Inland Empire. The Convention and Visitor's Bureau has produced the now-defunct Stater Bros. Route 66 Rendezvous. Both have created awareness of the city all over the world.
The Rendezvous, a 23-year San Bernardino tradition and the largest car show on the West Coast, was suspended for 2013 by the Convention and Visitors Bureau in February because of financial difficulties.
Barbara Daugherty, director of business operations for the visitors bureau and general manager of the welcome center, said the reality was they ran out of money.
"The hardest part of this is we were the last bastion of putting a positive face on San Bernardino," Daugherty said. "I feel so badly for San Bernardino and its residents, as well as the visitors we've had an opportunity to help. "
Jim Gerstenslager, board chairman of the San Bernardino Convention and Visitors Bureau, said keeping the nonprofit running has been a hard road to hoe.
"Financially, we just couldn't do it. The fact is, for the last five years, the city has put in a considerable amount of money," Gerstenslager said.
For Daugherty and Shelley McNaul, director of special events, Thursday is their last day, while Ed Foster, owner of Our Town, the Route 66 memorabilia store located in the Welcome Center, will officially close the doors on Saturday.
Dismantling the Welcome Center has been underway this week.
"It's killing me," said Foster, who managed the store with his wife Vivian since the center opened in 2007.
"People came from all over the world to learn about Route 66 and California," he said. "We did our best to put San Bernardino on the map. "
Originally, paying the state's annual franchise fee of $5,000 was paid for with a 2 percent hotel tax approved by voters, according to Daugherty. Then it became a line item in the RDA budget. That was also the money used for the convention and visitors bureau and Route 66.
Although the state granted San Bernardino the Welcome Center franchise in 2007, losing it means a gap in tourism awareness for the Inland Empire, one that the city of Ontario hopes to fill.
Ontario wants the Welcome Center to be based in Ontario, according to Michael Krouse, president and CEO of both the Ontario Convention and Visitors Bureau and the Ontario Convention Center.
"We can give them Ontario Mills, which attracts 20 to 30 million visitors a year and we can also give them incredible freeway access - the 10 and 15 freeways," Krouse said.
Krouse said when he heard the welcome center was shutting down, he wanted to take it on.
"We had to bid at the state level and already are in the request-for-proposal process," Krouse said. "We've been told another city has expressed interest but it is a state issue and the Welcome Center's job is to market and sell the state,"
The new Welcome Center, which is already in creative design, would return to Ontario Mills. The Route 66 Rendezvous was one of the iconic events in the Inland Empire and was great for the region, Krouse said.
"I had offered to take over and execute the Rendezvous, which would have cost them nothing, and they turned me down," he said. "By not allowing the event to move forward, it will damage the brand. I know from experience, if you don't do an event for a year, it will take years to recover from the shutdown. "
Fifth Ward councilman Chas Kelley said the center's shutdown is indicative of the challenging times we are facing.
"We certainly need to have the valuable marketing that brings venues and events to the city, It will come back, it will just take time," Kelley said.
Krouse added that if San Bernardino doesn't want to pursue the brand, he would pursue the option to to allow Ontario to compete, working with groups in the community to pick it up.
"It's a sad day when the San Bernardino Visitors and Convention Bureau has to close, we're just trying to salvage it before it causes further damage," Krouse said.

it would be great to have keimpx bundled with backtrack! I just found out about this tool via this blog
the beauty of this tool is that it will do pass-the-hash (ala PSexec) with windows hashes EN-MASS (no more single tries, paste yr 'hashdump' output into a single file, and keimpx will try them ALL on any # of servers ... "Even better, it goes on to ask you which of the cracked machines you would like keimpx to open up a shell on!"
here is a description of keimpx from their webpage ::
keimpx is an open source tool, released under a modified version of Apache License 1.1.
It can be used to quickly check for the usefulness of credentials across a network over SMB. Credentials can be:
- Combination of user / plain-text password.
- Combination of user / NTLM hash.
- Combination of user / NTLM logon session token.
If any valid credentials has been discovered across the network after its attack phase, the user is asked to choose which host to connect to and which valid credentials to use, then he will be prompted with an interactive SMB shell where the user can:
- Spawn an interactive command prompt.
- Navigate through the remote SMB shares: list, upload, download files, create, remove files, etc.
- Deploy and undeploy his own service, for instance, a backdoor listening on a TCP port for incoming connections.
- List users details, domains and password policy.

By Jon Saperstein Herald Writer
Juan Machuca
Snohomish, F, Sr.
Coach Dan Pingrey isn't shy when talking about one of his captains. "Juan Machuca is someone to really watch. He's an extremely talented player," Pingrey said.
Last year Machuca was one of the few non-seniors honored with a Wesco 4A first-team award. The year before he was one of the Panthers' leading scorers, a year removed from being a starter on a very good Glacier Peak team at the 3A level as a freshman before he moved. His experience will be a big part of whether the Panthers return to the state tournament again in 2013.
"He's primed for a big year," Pingrey said. "Looking at getting in (at a) community college. He has the talent to play at a higher level. He will have a big impact on the league this year."
Brendan Aune
Arlington, MF, Jr.
Aune comes from a soccer family. His father played soccer at the University of Washington and has been a coach himself an his brother, Nathan, was selected to play for the Crossfire Academy and thus can't participate for the Eagles this year. But Arlington coach Mike Gudgeon is very thankful to have Brendan leading the way for his team.
"He's just a kid that we can plug in anywhere," Gudgeon said. "As a sophomore he played defense for us. I've plugged him in as a center-mid. Even on occasion put him up as a forward.
"He's just one of those great utility players that is able and willing to do whatever the team needs him to do. That's also what makes him a great team captain. He leads by example and will do what we need him to do."
If Arlington is able to break into the top three in Wesco North and advance to the district playoffs it will likely be largely thanks to Aune.
Jon Erickson
Lake Stevens, MF, Sr.
It's hard to pick one player to watch from the Lake Stevens boys because they play as a unit as much as any local team. Coach Kit Shanholtzer has continued with the Vikings system that has been in place for a decade and propelled the team to success, including a surprise trip to the 4A state quarterfinals last season. Erickson is a big part of that system.
"John Erickson is going to command the middle," Shanholtzer said of one of the Vikings' 13 seniors.
But don't be surprised at the end of the season if Erickson doesn't stand out from Ahin Ali, Blake Sanders or Marcus Edward, who all will make an impact for the team that doesn't feature an underclassmen.
"We have an offensive and defensive system of play that is very inconsistent with other soccer programs,"Shanholtzer said. "It's something that we developed over the last 10 years. The systems approach helps players of all levels, I think, play together."
Jalen Crisler
Archbishop Murphy, MF, Sr.
A third of the way into the season a year ago, Crisler was the leading scorer on a very good Wildcat team before he rolled his ankle and missed most of the remainder of the season. He is the older brother of one of the best local girls players, Calisse Crisler, who also plays for the Wildcats. Both are attracting attention from college programs according to their mutual high school coach Mike Bartley. Jalen is one of the Wildcats senior captains and is poised to make a serious impact this season.
"There's big things he's trying to do because he felt like he missed a lot last year," Bartley said. "He didn't get the recognition. He's a tall, strong kid. He can play center back and he can play forward…he's almost 6'5" and great in the air" Both Jalen and Calisse can score but Bartley says as that Jalen separates himself by his strength on defense.
Chris Mitalas
Mountlake Terrace, MF, Sr.
The Wesco 3A south league has been brutally competitive recently with Glacier Peak, Shorewood and Shorecrest all taking turns dominating during recent seasons. Hope for a new team breaking that grip among the top may come from Mitalas. The son of a high school soccer coach, Mitalas will be a big reason why the Hawks succeed this year.
"The game will be going through him," Terrace coach Gary Hunter said. "His biggest strength is his knowledge of the game and his technical passing skills. He has excellent technical passing ability."
Last year was Hunter and his staff's first year with the Hawks and though they experienced some growing pains are ready to challenge in year number two. "Wesco South is tough," Hunter said. "So we are just going to try and get in the middle of it and see where we'll be by the end of the season. It's a difficult and challenging conference to be in but the kids are optimistic."

The Quad Flat No-lead (QFN) package is a CSP (plastic encapsulated package) with a copper lead frame substrate. The QFN is a leadless package where electrical contact to the PCB is made by soldering the leads on the bottom surface of the package to the PCB, instead of the conventional formed perimeter gull wing leads. The design of the QFN package has enhanced electrical performance that enables the standard 2 GHz frequency to be increased up to 10 GHz with some design considerations.
The QFN leads are coated with a finish that provides environmental protection and maintains solderability. See Figure 2 for a cross-section internal view of the QFN package construction.
The symmetric termination leads can be either rounded ends or rectangle ends. See Figure 3 for the 2 different lead styles.
The QFN uses the "Flat No-lead Edge" component lead style. See Figure 4 for a side view of the component lead. The component lead terminals are embedded in the plastic body and sticks out 0.05 mm on the bottom and wraps up the component body side by 0.2 mm.
There are 2 types of QFN component package styles, Standard & Flanged Type. The Standard package is commonly known as the "Saw Cut" package and the Flanged Type is known as "Molded Body". See Figure 5 for the 2 types of component package styles.
The Thermal Tab shape can have a chamfered corner closest to the location of Pin 1. The "Land Size" is identical to the maximum tolerance of the thermal tab size. The solder mask size is 1:1 scale of the land size. The thermal tab can also have corner radius on the other corners. See Figure 6 for an example of a thermal tab with chamfered and rounded corners.
The Thermal Pad Paste Mask size needs to be between 40% and 60% of the land size and is broken up into a checkerboard pattern. The IPC LP Calculator is set to 40% paste mask reduction by default, but the reduction percentage is user definable. The checkerboard pattern does not start until the thermal pad size exceeds 4.5 mm because the minimum paste mask aperture opening for thermal pad paste mask is about 1 mm square. See Figure 6 for examples of thermal tab paste mask with a 40% reduction. The picture of the left has a thermal pad size of 4 mm and a single paste mask of 2.5 mm. The picture on the right has a thermal pad size of 4.5 mm and a matrix of 4 squares of paste mask of 1.4 mm.
If there was no reduction of paste mask, the physical component would float on top of 0.15 mm (the thickness of the paste mask stencil) of solder. During the reflow process users have observed that the liquidus solder lifts the device and creates a pivot point near the center of the Die Attach Pad (DAP). As the solder cools the device tends to tilt toward one side, often creating shorts in one area and opens in another. By reducing the paste mask stencil to 40% of the land size, the component will settle down evenly to allow for an adequate solder joints on the end termination leads. See Figure 8 for an example of excessive solder and reduced solder on the Die Attach Pad.
The primary purpose of the thermal tab is to conduct heat away from the die during operation. The best way to achieve this goal is to add stitch vias attached to the GND plane. The via hole size recommendation is 0.25 mm and should be plated, plugged and surface finished to prevent liquidus solder from entering the holes. By no means attempt to Tent the vias with dry film solder mask because this will reduce the solder volume area on the pad. The via padstack is 0.5 mm pad, 0.7 mm plane clearance, 0.25 mm hole and no thermal relief. Placing the vias on a 1 mm grid allows for two 0.1 mm trace/space routing technology on all inner layers and opposite side. In order to achieve the 1 mm via snap grid, the QFN must be placed on a 0.5 mm placement grid. See Figure 9 for an example of a via matrix in a thermal pad.
Some QFN packages come in a variety of lead sizes and multiple thermal tabs. See Figures 10 – 12 for some unique QFN variations.
Figure 10 has multiple lead lengths and "Deleted Pins".
Figure 11 QFN has multiple thermal tabs and "Hidden Pins". Some QFN packages have 3 – 5 thermal tabs with various shapes and sizes.
Figure 12 QFN has deleted pins and Pin 1 is lower left corner and pin order is Counterclockwise instead of the traditional Clockwise pin order.
The via fanout for the QFN component family is really easy for all pin pitches that are on even 0.1 mm increments. These are 0.8 mm, 0.5 mm and 0.4 mm pin pitch. All SMT components with a 0.65 mm pin pitch are not 100% compatible with the 0.05 mm universal grid system. It would be superior if the component manufacturer's never created any pin pitch in 0.05 mm increments. It would be much better for the PCB designer if all pin pitches were in 0.1 mm increments. In this case, 0.65 mm pin pitch would be superior if it was 0.6 mm. Let's take a look at some of the via fanout solutions to optimize routing channels. All of the routing solutions use the identical via size (0.5 mm pad, 0.7 mm anti-pad and 0.25 mm hole) and trace/space (0.1 mm) technology that is located in Figure 9.
Figure 14 is a 0.8 mm QFN sample via fanout and routing channel solution. This routing solution provides for 1 trace between vias. The red traces are the opposite side and the green traces are the inner layer. The yellow annular ring on the via is the plane clearance. A 0.1 mm grid was used for the via fanout and trace snap grid.
Figure 15 is a 0.65 mm QFN via fanout and routing channel solution. The 0.65 mm pitch fanout must use a 0.05 mm grid and 3 traces between vias. When there is an even number of pins on each side, you have to use a 0.025 mm grid system because the components are always placed on a 0.1 mm grid system and from the center of the 0.65 mm QFN to the center of the pad is 0.65 divided by 2 = 0.325 mm. This is why 0.65 mm pitch components are not optimized for the universal 0.05mm grid system.
Figure 16 is a 0.5 mm QFN via fanout and routing channel solution. This routing solution provides for 2 traces between vias. A 0.1 mm grid was used for the via fanout and trace snap grid.
Figure 17 is a 0.4 mm QFN via fanout and routing channel solution. This routing solution provides for 1 trace between vias. A 0.1 mm grid was used for the via fanout and trace snap grid.

Springer back in the swing of things
Astros prospect goes 3-for-5, homers, collects four RBIs
By Sam Dykstra / Special to MLB.com | July 15, 2012 9:09 PM ET
"I didn't have a clue," he said. No matter. He just started a new hot streak.
The Astros' No. 3 prospect went 3-for-5 with a home run, four RBIs and two runs scored Sunday as part of Class A Advanced Lancaster's 12-8 win over Modesto.
The JetHawks center fielder, who fell one RBI shy of his career single-game high, is 8-for-11 (.727) with five RBIs and five runs scored in his last three games following an 0-for-8 stretch in his previous two contests. Through 13 games in July, he is batting .472 with three homers, 14 RBIs and 16 runs scored.
It took until his second at-bat Sunday, however, for Springer to warm up a bit. After striking out swinging in the first inning, the right-handed slugger took left-hander Tyler Matzek deep the opposite way to right-center field for a three-run shot. The homer -- the JetHawks' first of the night after the Nuts had produced three in the first inning -- tied the game, 4-4.
"I was just looking for something I could handle," Springer said. "It was a 2-0 [fastball] away that I was just able to stay on. I was actually looking for something up, but I was able to go down and get that one and hit the other way."
Lancaster scored seven times in that second, thanks to a two-run blast by Astros' No. 10 prospect Domingo Santana. The JetHawks chased Matzek after those seven runs on seven hits and four walks over 1 2/3 innings, and the fact that his squad chased the Rockies' No. 4 prospect so quickly was a point of pride for the Houston farmhand.
"We knew he threw hard, extremely hard," Springer said. "Plus, he's got two great off-speed pitches, so we really just wanted to make him throw strikes. You can't swing off his pitches because you'll make things that much easier for him. If a pitch is there to be hit, you can't miss it because guys like him don't make many mistakes usually."
The University of Connecticut product popped out in the third before adding an RBI base hit in the fifth and a single in the seventh. He was one of seven Lancaster starters to collect a multi-hit game, including every hitter between the second and seventh spots in the lineup. But the team's No. 2 hitter believes the team's leadoff hitter, Grant Hogue (0-for-3, two walks, two runs, one steal) drives its production the most.
"Honestly, I think it all starts with Hogue," said MLB.com's No. 70 prospect. "If he's getting on base and stealing bases, it lets me take certain pitches and not have to force things as much. I really don't have to do much behind him. He just makes it easier for the three, four or five guys to hit home runs and perform well back there. If the one and two are on base, the three, four, five will follow, and that's something we do well.
Whether it's the influence of Hogue or his own pure talent, the Astros' first-round pick from the 2011 Draft has dominated Cal League pitching in his first pro season. He ranks in the top 10 on the circuit in batting average (.331, sixth), home runs (18, fourth), RBIs (68, sixth), OBP (.408, sixth) and OPS (.984, third).
Those numbers would perhaps suggest a callup to Double-A Corpus Christi before the season is up. Springer, however, insists he has some unfinished business at his current level.
"I would be excited if I do get moved up, and I would try to do whatever they need me to do to help the team win," said the Cal League All-Star. "But that's one of those things I don't control. I'm going to play my game here and keep working and making adjustments. If someone feels I'm ready, then I would be extremely fortunate to move up. But I have plenty to do here."
Santana collected his third consecutive multi-hit game and homered in his second straight as part of a 2-for-4, two-RBI night. The 19-year-old right fielder and cleanup hitter is tied with Erik Castro for the team lead in RBIs with 69.
"He's an unbelievable hitter," Springer said, "and it seems like he's really hitting his stride. ... He can do it on whatever pitch comes his way. He's extremely talented and makes it harder to pitch around me or anybody else in front of him."

Tornados fall on the road to Crusaders, 3-0September 3, 2011
Betcer attempts a game-high five shots in loss
Belmont, N.C. - Marcelo Betcer attempted a game-high five shots in a physical contest on Saturday afternoon against Belmont Abbey, but the Crusaders found twine three times in the contest as they defeated the visiting Tornados in non-conference action, 3-0.
Belmont Abbey (1-1) got on the board first at the 22:57 mark as Kyle Searles redirected a free kick by Jack Reid, heading the offering into the back of the net past Brevard (0-2) goalkeeper Pauli Jussila. The Crusaders struck again less than five minutes later as Jussila made a great save off Conor Wells' shot attempt, but the ball rebounded to Timmi Borges DaSilva and he placed the ball in the back of the net at the 27:11 mark to put the score at 2-0.
The Tornados and Crusaders were very physical in the first half, with a total of four yellow cards given in the first 45 minutes, and two more were added in the second half as the teams continued to battle back and forth.
Betcer and Tommi Rasinmaki combined for the first three shots of the second half for Brevard, but were unable to find pay dirt, keeping the score at 2-0 until the 72:11 mark as Josh Drew snuck a shot past the BC keeper off the assist from DaSilva to give Belmont Abbey a commanding 3-0 lead.
The Tornados continued to press, attempting a pair of corner kicks in the 82nd minute and had one more shot on goal, but were unable to put a mark on the score board in falling on Saturday, 3-0.
Brevard remains on the road as they travel on Tuesday, September 6th, making their way to nearby Asheville, N.C. where they will take on NCAA Division I opponent UNC Asheville. Kickoff between the Bulldogs and the Tornados is set for 4 p.m.

A quartet of South African-born Jews now living in the area recall their dealings with the apartheid regime and their sense of awe and respect for Nelson Mandela.
Sharon Katz didn't hear of Nelson Mandela's passing until after the plane touched down in her native South Africa. For Katz, an educator and musician, the fact that South Africa's first black president was 95 didn't make facing his death any easier.
"People are heartbroken because of everything that he stood for," said Katz, reached outside of Cape Town. She splits her time between the Mount Airy section of Philadelphia and the South African city of Durban. "I hope that the vision he created for South Africa, we'll be able to hold onto that."
Katz is one of dozens, perhaps more, of South African Jews who now live in the Philadelphia area. Some were anti-apartheid activists, others were reticent to speak out due to the real fears of living in a police state. Some left while Mandela was still in his prison cell on the notorious Robben Island; others were in the country to witness the momentous, if not always smooth, years after his release.
But all those interviewed said they felt a profound connection to the man who is universally credited with shepherding in a peaceful transition from white minority rule to democracy.
Katz grew up in the coastal city of Port Elizabeth. She was active in the Habonim Zionist youth movement and attended the Jewish day school her parents started. But, at about age 15, she started sneaking out of the house to visit black-only townships, meeting with black musicians and actors.
She graduated high school in 1973 and came to Philadelphia in 1981 to study music therapy at Temple University. She stayed here until 1990, when Mandela was released from prison.
In the early 1990s, she founded what came to be known as the Peace Train, a roving group of more than 100 white and black musicians meant to embody the spirit of the new South Africa. When Mandela was running to be his nation's first freely elected leader, the group played at some of his campaign stops.
Katz said that everything that's been said about Mandela's generosity and warmth of spirit is true.
Mandela, she said, once told her that she embodied "the spirit of the African National Congress."
"I will never forget the words," she added, "and I have lived with the words for the last 20 years."
She's spending the week attending memorial events and she was planning to take some young black students to a ceremony at Cape Town's largest soccer stadium.
Katz, who visits family in Israel yearly, said she had been too focused on building a just society in South Africa to worry about Mandela's attitude toward Israel or his dealings with Yasser Arafat, the former leader of the Palestine Liberation Organization.
"I've always been very one-track minded in terms of the liberation of South Africa," said Katz.
The fact that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu canceled his plans to attend Mandela's memorial services "brings tears to my eyes."
• • •
When Mandela was ill over the summer, Rabbi Robert Leib of Old York Road Temple-Beth Am in Abington prepared a personal reflection that he delivered during Shabbat services after the ANC leader's death.
The Reform rabbi left his native Cape Town, where he served three years as associate rabbi at a Reform synagogue, for good in 1989 at the age of 30. Only once during his time there did he speak publicly about the evils of apartheid, he said, noting that it was dangerous to do so.
"Do I regret that I didn't do or say more? Absolutely, very much indeed," he said. "I never knew when plain clothes policemen or informants were in the sanctuary. I was told to guard your tongue and be very careful."
He considered himself a conscientious objector and said he left when it became clear he could no longer avoid military conscription.
The rabbi hasn't been home in nearly 20 years, but next year he's planning to lead a congregational trip to South Africa.
"Once in a lifetime, an individual rises through the ranks who has the extraordinary willpower and intellect" to bring about "racial reconcilation and social justice."
Still, he said, "from my perspective as a South African Jew, it was very painfully difficult to try and reconcile Mandela's embrace of Middle Eastern despots with the cherished goals and dreams and aspirations of the Jewish people."
• • •
Julian Krinsky, a former professional tennis player who left South Africa in 1977, does not have the same qualms about Mandela's relations with Arab leaders.
"He did 99 percent good work," Krinsky said. "Maybe he went to Arafat and gave him a handshake, but you can't hold that against him — not when you look at the body of work."
Krinsky left his home country months after the Soweto Uprising, when black students protested against the government's ruling that black schools could only teach in Afrikaans, the language of the ruling minority. He moved to Philadelphia with his wife, two children and $1,200, not knowing anyone in his new country.
"We were scared to fight the system, so we left," Krinsky said. "That was our passive form of saying apartheid doesn't work."
• • •
Steven Stein was involved with anti-apartheid student groups as a medical student in the 1980s at the University of the Witwatersrand in Johannesburg. He remembers riot police being an almost constant presence on campus. The classes at the school were integrated, but the hospitals were still segregated, meaning white students could do rounds at black hospitals but black students were not allowed at white hospitals.
He and his wife, Debbie Cohen, who is also a physician, left South Africa with twin 1-year-old sons a few months after Mandela was elected. Cohen said they were nervous about the violence and crime that would likely occur. But they still took part in the first post-apartheid elections. "Some people waited for two days there to vote," Cohen said. "They could have been 100 years old — it didn't matter — they were going to vote. It was the most incredible thing to be there."
About a year before that, Stein, who is an oncologist, was working a night shift in the intensive care unit of a private hospital in Johannesburg when he looked up and saw Mandela flanked by security guards.
He was visiting the wife of former Zambian president Kenneth D. Kaunda. It was late at night, but within a few minutes, word had spread and the staff had filled the corridors, softly singing a traditional ululation. It took Mandela more than an hour to leave as he stopped and greeted many of the people.
"The biggest lesson this guy taught the entire planet, which is almost impossible to follow," Stein said, "is that love is more powerful than hate as a force in terms of getting things done."

The Wanted's Nathan Sykes almost suffered panic attack before vocal surgery
Listen to The Wanted on iHeartRadio
The Wanted's Nathan Sykes is opening up his recent vocal surgery, now that he's on his way to a full recovery and returned to the group. In an interview with "Entertainmentwise," the singer said the weeks before his April surgery were a scary time and that he "kind of had a bit of a panic attack" just before being put under the anesthesia.
The 20-year-old said that he remembers feeling that his career was in the hands of his doctors. Fortunately, he returned to his duties as the fifth and youngest member of the Wanted earlier this month, joining them onstage at London's Wembley Stadium for the Summertime Ball Festival.
The group's reality show "The Wanted Life" airs Sundays on E!

Box score
Philadelphia, Pa. – Scott Perri had seven points and Brendan Glynnscored five goals, but Villanova edged Drexel at Vidas Field, 14-13. The Wildcats scored two goals in the span of 48 seconds to break a 12-12 tie and held off the Dragons in the closing minute.
In a game that was tied six times, the Wildcats (2-1) took the lead for good with 5:24 remaining. Michael Vigilante took a feed from Matt Bell to put the Wildcats ahead, 13-12. Moments later, Kevin Cunningham set up Jack Rice, who beat Drexel keeper Mark Manosfrom in close to put Villanova up by a pair of goals. Drexel answered with 2:06 remaining in the game. Dan Layfield scored his second goal of the fourth quarter to trim the lead to one at 14-13. The Wildcats got possession after the face-off, but on a few occasions the Dragons were able to get the ball on the ground. However, Drexel was not able to keep possession to get a shot off until they forced a late turnover with under 15 seconds remaining. The Dragons got the ball over midfield and Nick Trizano gave them one last chance. A Villanova defender broke up a shot attempt right before time expired as the Wildcats held on.
Villanova entered the final frame ahead 9-8 after what turned out to be one of the biggest plays of the game. It appeared the game would be tied at eight, but Cunningham set up Mike Bell who scored as time expired. The goal counted and the Dragons were assessed a dead ball penalty after the play. The penalty gave the Wildcats the ball on the man-up, and 22 seconds into the fourth quarter Villanova capitalized when Michael Vigilante scored to make it 10-8. Perri scored two quick goals, his third and fourth of the game to tie it, but Villanova once again held the Dragons from taking the lead. Will Casertano and Hart each tallied a goal to again put Villanova up by two, this time with 7:41 to play. Drexel countered with goals fromCraig Owen and Layfield to tie it before the 'Cats went ahead for good.
Drexel's Glynn scored two goals in the first five minutes of the game as Drexel went up 2-0. The 'Cats answered with three straight goals. Nick Doherty, C.J. Small and Cunningham each found the net as Villanova took the lead for the first time. Drexel's Chris Farquahar set up Perri's first goal of the game with 1:11 left in the first quarter as the teams ended the first 15 minutes tied at three. Villanova scored the first two goals of the second quarter, but Perri set up Glynn twice in the span of 29 seconds to even it at 5-5. Glynn's goals were matched minutes later by a pair of Cunningham goals and Villanova went to intermission ahead by two at 7-5.
Perri finished with a career-best seven points, with four goals and three assists. Glynn, just a sophomore, also had a career-high with his five goals, four coming in the first half. Manos had his third straight game with at least 10 saves. The All-American made 14 stops, many from the doorstep as Villanova was able to penetrate the Drexel defense on a number of occasions in the game. Cunningham led Villanova with four goals and two assists. Bell added four points and Billy Hurley made eight saves.
Drexel heads to South Bend, Ind., this weekend to face Notre Dame. The Fighting Irish, who advanced to the NCAA title game a year ago, are ranked fourth in the nation.

J. Cole apologizes for autistic slip in rap lyrics
Listen to J. Cole on iHeartRadio
J. Cole says he doesn't like being pressured into apologizing by the media but feels his recent statement of sorry is necessary. The hip-hop star caught flak after rapping the words "autistic" and "retarded" as a diss to other rappers in his collaboration with Drake, titled "Jodeci Freestyle."
In a blog post this weekend, Cole said although there's a part of him that "resents" the pressure put on rappers to apologize, his is sincere. He went on to praise "the entire Autism community" for its passion, adding that he has been touched by stories online from parents about their struggles.
Cole also said, "It also makes what I said even more embarrassing for me. I feel real shame." He said he would gladly own his mistake and "serve as an example to today's generation that there's nothing cool about mean-spirited comments about someone with Autism."

Symptoms of a possible heart attack include chest pain and pain that radiates down the shoulder and arm, or up into the neck or jaw. Some people (especially the elderly, people with diabetes, and women) may have little or no chest pain. Or, they may experience unusual symptoms (shortness of breath, fatigue, sweating, and weakness).
Women are more likely than men to have symptoms of nausea, vomiting, back or jaw pain, and shortness of breath with or without chest pain.

Hi Crew,
Great news on the sandwich! Thanks to Tony, Jess & Andrew. I won't be surprised if we get a few protests, I don't think mine was the Black Caviar of the sandwich world but I guess on the day it got me over the line!
On another issue, did you catch up that the Dept is rolling out MacBook Pro's to the next round of recipients? Great! People like me bought their own while Leith who I sit next to is now paying the same amount for the old MacBook as the latest recipients are for their MacBook Pro. A complete fiasco!!
Keep up the good work (I'm a couple of episodes behind but looking forward to catching up)

Hi Russell,
Be great to hear your thoughts on the Sifteo - and as for the sandwich they were all great very hard to choose.
Interesting comment about the laptops - schools are facing the same situation and some IT people I know are waiting to see if students start to damage their MacBooks so that they get a replacement MacBook Pro. Not that I would suggest any teachers take that step, it would be interesting to see the level of reported damaged laptops in the next few months and if there is a sudden spike.
I think DEECD did a very poor job handling the recent teacher laptop process especially around Apple products, teachers should be able to have a fair and equitable choice.
Thanks for listening and for sending in your links.

HERSHEY, PA -- Hershey Co.'s earnings climbed 18% in the second quarter as demand for its core candy brands grew and costs for confection ingredients declined.
Hershey's profit rose to $159.5 million, or 70¢ a share, from $135.7 million, or 59¢ a share, a year earlier. Sales increased to $1.51 billion from $1.41 billion, or 7%.
The maker of Hershey's Chocolate Bars, Reese's and Kit Kat raised its forecast for 2013 earnings per share to a range of $3.68 to $3.71 from a prior outlook of $3.61 to $3.65. It said it expected full-year sales to increase about 7%.
The candymaker said sales growth will be driven by core brand volume growth and innovations. These include Kit Kat Minis, Twizzlers Bites and Jolly Rancher Bites in the U.S., Hershey's Mais candy in Brazil, and the fourth-quarter launch of Hershey's Kisses Deluxe and Hershey's Drops chocolates in China.
