Rockies Sign RHP LaTroy Hawkins
Posted by Mike Rice
DENVER – The Colorado Rockies announced Friday that the club has signed right-handed pitcher LaTroy Hawkins to a one-year Major League contract. Terms of the deal were not disclosed, per club policy.
Hawkins, 40, is making a return to the Rockies organization, as he was a member of the club's 2007 National League Championship team. In 2007, Hawkins was 2-5 with a 3.42 ERA (55.1 ip, 21 er) in 62 games for the Rockies. The veteran spent the 2013 season with the New York Mets, going 3-2 with 13 saves and a 2.93 ERA (70.2 ip, 23 er), 10 walks and 55 strikeouts in 72 games. Hawkins will be looking to appear in a Major League game for the 20th-straight season in 2014. He has played for 10 teams in his Major League career, including Minnesota (1995-2003), the Chicago Cubs (2004-05), San Francisco (2005), Baltimore (2006), Colorado (2007), the New York Yankees (2008), Houston (2008-09), Milwaukee (2010-11), the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim (2012) and the Mets (2013).
A native of Gary, Indiana, Hawkins owns a career record of 68-90 with 101 saves, a 4.37 ERA (1374.1 ip, 668 er), 436 walks and 917 strikeouts in 943 games, 98 starts. Hawkins ranks 20thon Major League Baseball's all-time games pitched list (943). He leads all active Big League pitchers in games and holds (178).
The Rockies have a full 40-man roster.

"He'll be a god to them." So says Jor-El, the father of Superman, as he sends his son to Earth in the latest trailer for Man of Steel.
In the immediate context, Jor-El seems to be referring primarily to the fact that his son will have powers that the other residents of Earth will not. But his voice-over, later in the trailer, goes on to speak in even more elevated terms of Superman as someone who will give humanity "an ideal to strive towards," thereby allowing humans to "join [him] in the sun." Lois Lane adds to the mythology, as it were, by noting that some people think of Superman as a "guardian angel".

Best Of :: Food & Drink
If you were to judge a Korean restaurant by how many varieties of complimentary panchan dishes are offered, Kaya would automatically triumph. It puts out 10 in all, while most are content in providing half that. Each item tastes of motherly effort and care. Egg enriches the cooling potato salad, the chap chae wiggles, and the stewed potato cubes taste as though they were glazed in honey. We aren't even counting the complimentary crispy Korean pancake called panjeon, which could be considered the 11th panchan side dish if it weren't actually more like an appetizer you'd order freshly made and served hot. And then there are the main dishes: iron cauldrons of sputtering soft tofu soup, searing stone bowls of bibimbap, sizzling plates of luscious kalbi. Water is refilled without asking, and servers greet you warmly as you arrive and bid you farewell as you leave. In Irvine, where there are more Korean restaurants than McDonald's, these details make all the difference. $$
If your own-of-town guests are keen on experiencing quintessential Orange County, take them to the Beachcomber. Here, they'll marvel at a prototypical OC scene: brunching trophy wives toasting one another on snatching deep-pocketed sugar daddies. Oh, the view of the beach is nice, too; reservations for the summer season are booked fast. What surrounds the beachside shack eatery is a post card come to life. The food is hardly the point. But if it is true that a hot dog eaten at the Grand Canyon tastes as good as a steak, the same concept applies here. The sunsets, the idyllic beach huts and the crashing surf cresting on sand just steps from the entrance are seasonings more essential than salt. $$
Dropped daintily on Pacific Coast Highway above Newport Bay is SOL Cocina, an elegant establishment dedicated to bringing the flavors of Baja to Orange County. But this is cuisine with a conscience. The environmentally friendly menu boasts low-fat, healthy items, and almost everything is gluten-free. The chefs use only sustainable fish and humanely raised beef and pork—and many dishes can be made vegetarian or even vegan. Try one of their exquisitely crafted margaritas (we love the cucumber jalapeño), any of about a dozen different salsas and definitely the taco vampiro. Snag a seat at one of the copper tables on the patio for a luxurious view of the boats, docks and houses you'll never afford. We recommend going at sunset, when the water turns as gold as the tequila in your glass. $$$
What haven't we said about Dave Emery that hasn't already been said? The man is an all-around crazy person—and we mean that with the utmost respect. He insists on making everything he serves at Sol Del Sur Bistro from scratch and doing it all himself, with no assistance from a sous chef or even a dishwasher. All evidence suggests he is self-taught and loves to cook just as most people like to breathe. He has working knowledge of Italian, Japanese, French and Spanish cuisines, gleaned from his travels and bolstered by the undying curiosity of a child. The menu he attempts is formidable and frenetic. When the small room he calls a restaurant is even half-full, he can be easily overwhelmed with orders. He creates a list of a dozen or so appetizers, traipsing borders and using uncommon ingredients, such as crosnes, aji amarillo and uni. His entrées are bold, complex and, at times, beguiling. As of this writing, he is serving grilled strawberries with lamb shanks braised in lavender and honey; by the time you read this, though, that dish will be history. Emery is never satisfied: He thinks of new ways to challenge himself and his customers; and he's been known to introduce a new dish one night and jettison it the next. Don't even try to convince him to edit his menu down or ask him to be less ambitious. We like our mad scientist just the way he is. $$$
Former Haven Gastropub partner Jeff Hall throws down the gauntlet with Chapter One, a challenge to not only his former colleagues, but also his neighbors at Santa Ana's burgeoning restaurant scene. The bar pours old-man drinks with equal jiggers of expertise and knowledge of the mixological arts. It's also up-to-date on the local beers. Meanwhile, chef Oge Dalken, a culinary raconteur in a city full of them, brings humor and lightness to dishes that are as fun to eat as they are to order. A beef culotte inspires other chefs to do better with bacon-wrapped steaks. And for a dessert called "Milk & Cereal," the breakfast food of our youths is deconstructed and reinterpreted: Panna cotta becomes the milk, and crispy Greek kataifi plays cereal. You have to order it to get the joke and realize that the culinary punch line is as delicious as the setup. $$
Old Vine is no stranger to these pages, having won Best Restaurant in 2009—and it has broadened its ambitions since then, hosting wine nights and even leading culinary tours of Italy. But the attention of brothers Mark and Brandon McDonald to the homefront hasn't suffered: You still see Brandon every morning through night, guiding customers old and new through the menu, maybe suggesting an omelet or the seasonal four-course chef's menu, and with a memory of the café's hundreds of wines that borders on That's Incredible! territory. Mark is almost as present on the floor, even though he's manning the kitchen, trading jokes with customers and making sure their experiences are always spectacular. Such attention to detail doesn't come out of economic survival or even hipster irony, but rather the McDonalds' honest-to-goodness enthusiasm for great food. They are redeeming their surname in the food industry. $$$

Emergency contraception is a form of birth control. It is a pill taken after unprotected sex or contraceptive failure. For example, if your regular birth control fails (the condom breaks during sex), if you forget to take your birth control pills, or if you have sex without using any birth control, you could use emergency contraception.
There are three products on the market approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration as emergency contraceptives: Plan B One-Step®, Next Choice® and ella®. All emergency contraceptives are more effective the earlier they are used and should be taken as soon as possible after intercourse.
Plan B One-Step® and Next Choice® are the most common brands of emergency contraception. Both contain only the synthetic hormone, levonorgestrel. Package labeling indicates that both of these products should be taken within 72 hours of unprotected intercourse, however data supports that use up to 120 hours after intercourse may prevent pregnancy. No physical exam or pregnancy testing is required prior to the use of these products.
Plan B One-Step® is available for purchase at pharmacies without a prescription by those age 17 and over, and a prescription is needed for those under than 17. Plan B One-Step® consists of one pill that contains 1.5 mg of levonorgestrel.
Next Choice® is available for purchase at pharmacies without a prescription by those age 17 and over, and a prescription is needed for those under 17. Next Choice® consists of two pills with a combined 1.5 mg dose of levonorgestrel. While prescribing directions indicate that patients should take each of the 2 pills 12 hours apart, recent data suggest that both pills taken together as a single dose is equally effective and without increased adverse effect.
Ella® is available by prescription only. It is a single pill that contains 30 mg of ulipristal acetate and is indicated up to 120 hours after unprotected intercourse. Unlike with hormonal emergency contraception, pregnancy must be excluded prior to prescribing ulipristal because of the risk of fetal loss if used in the first trimester of pregnancy. There is some evidence that between 72 and 120 hours after intercourse, uilpristal may be more effective at preventing pregnancy than hormonal alternatives.
Plan B One-Step® and Next Choice® can prevent your ovaries from releasing an egg, can prevent an egg from being fertilized by sperm or can prevent a fertilized egg from attaching itself to the wall of the uterus. These pills can't end a pregnancy once a fertilized egg has attached itself to the wall of the uterus. No studies have shown that taking hormones while you are pregnant can hurt your baby. But, if you know you are pregnant, you should not take emergency contraception pills. Plan B One-Step® and Next Choice® emergency contraceptive pills are not the same as the medicine known as the "abortion pill." The "abortion pill" is medicine that is taken in the early weeks of pregnancy to end the pregnancy.
Emergency contraception pills can be very effective if they are used in time. They can reduce the risk of pregnancy if used up to 120 hours after unprotected intercourse or contraceptive failure, and is most effective if used in the first 24 hours. If used within 72 hours of unprotected sex, only about 1 to 2 percent of women become pregnant after using them. It is important to remember that these pills will work best when taken as soon as possible after unprotected sex.
It is also important to remember that using this type of contraception on a regular basis is less effective than using ongoing methods of contraception (like contraception pills or diaphragms). Emergency contraception should not be your main type of contraception.
There are no serious side effects attributed to levonorgestrel-containing emergency contraceptives. Pregnancy must be excluded prior to prescribing ella® (ulipristal acetate) because of the risk of fetal loss if used in the first trimester of pregnancy. Some women feel sick to their stomach after they take emergency contraceptive pills. This feeling should go away in about two days. Your doctor can give you medicine that may help you feel better. Progestin-only pills may not make you feel as sick as pills containing estrogen and progestin. If you throw up within one hour of taking the pills, you may need to take another dose. Talk to your doctor.
If you can take regular birth control pills, you should be able to take emergency contraception pills. You should not use emergency contraception if you are pregnant.
After you take emergency contraception pills, your period may come earlier or later than usual. Call your doctor if you do not get your period within 21 days after taking the pills. If your regular form of birth control is condoms, spermicides or a diaphragm, you may go back to using them right away after taking emergency contraception pills. If your regular form of birth control is the pill, contraceptive shot, contraceptive patch or vaginal ring, talk to your doctor about when to start using it again.
Talk to your doctor about how to get emergency contraception, or about having a prescription on hand in case you need it.
Plan B One-Step® and Next Choice® are available for purchase at pharmacies without a prescription by those age 17 and over. A prescription is needed for those under 17.
You also may be able to get emergency contraception from university and women's health centers, health departments, Planned Parenthood centers and hospital emergency departments.

NFL Draft > 2010 Prospects > WR > Bryan Anderson
Bryan Anderson Scouting Report
|Central Michigan Chippewas
|Jersey Number:
|Height & Weight:
|6'5 - 215 lbs.
2010 NFL Draft Prospect Scouting Report:
Bryan Anderson, WR, Central Michigan
It only took Bryan Anderson three years to become Central Michigan's all-time leader in receptions and touchdown receptions. In order to reach that landmark so quickly, Anderson did not have any time to waste. As a redshirt freshman in 2006, he led the team with 73 receptions for 867 yards. The following season he was one of two 1,000 yard receivers on the Chippewas and caught 90 passes for 1,132 yards and ten touchdowns. It was during that 2007 campaign when the CMU offense peaked, but Anderson was obviously still a very productive player in 2008 and 2009. As a junior he caught 63 passes for 865 yards and six touchdowns. Fellow receiver Antonio Brown was getting more catches, but Anderson was still the big play receiver. The story is the same in 2009. Anderson only has 47 catches through 11 games, but he is averaging 13.0 yards per catch. What makes Anderson a special receiver is his combination of size and speed. He is 6-5 and can outrun a whole lot of other receivers in this class who are smaller than him. He may have a few things to work on, but Anderson should be a second or third round selection if he has decent workouts leading up to the draft. 1/24 Update: Most pundits are still overlooking Anderson, seeing him as a byproduct of quarterback Dan LeFevour. Leading up to the draft Anderson will have to make a name for himself. If he does, he could be a second round selection. If not, he could slip very far and may not even be drafted. The reality of Anderson's skills is somewhere in the middle of those two extremes and he should be considered a fourth round talent when all is said and done.

The Strokes hint at return in 2014
Listen to The Strokes on iHeartRadio
It looks like the Strokes will be a little more visible next year.
According to "NME," the band sent out a fan e-mail newsletter promoting guitarist Albert Hammond Jr.'s new solo EP. But they began the letter by telling fans that all of the Strokes are "looking at 2014 for a return to the scene."
The rockers just released their last album, Comedown Machine, in March, but they did little to no promotion for the record and said they have no plans to tour in support of it. The Strokes aren't offering many details about what their "return" will look like, but they did say they've been busy "toiling and writing."
Meanwhile, Hammond's new EP, "AHJ," was released last week via Strokes frontman Julian Casablancas' label Cult Records. He's scheduled to embark on a North American tour starting November 3rd in Washington, DC.

You'd look out across the room and all the people were sitting there very seriously, their faces tense, their eyes closed tight.

Yeah, this is kinda what i was referring to... but it's actually a "good" thing in many ways, and Asian culture is not so different, actually. It's just that what i've observed is there tends to be much more of a priority placed on education and career then on spiritual freedom and liberation.
When ego and social comparisons dominate this perfectionism and drive for achievement can have negative consequences- many people here in Japan judge themselves and one another by education level, test scores, who's school is best, which company is best, etc.
I've just watched this first hand in our home, with my wife (who is Japanese) and our eldest son who had to take high school entrance exams a few months ago. It's been hell, for her, for him...

Giuliana and Bill Rancic will be hearing the pitter patter of tiny feet this summer! "We are so thrilled that our prayers have been answered," Guiliana told E Online. Her husband Bill added, "We are absolutely ecstatic to be sharing this with everyone who has been following our journey."
The couple's struggle with conception has been documented in their reality TV show, Giuliana and Bill on the Style network. The baby will be born via a gestational surrogate (the baby will be genetically Bill and Giuliana's) sometime this summer.

Paula Radcliffe has admitted she expected to lose her National Lottery funding and has no intention of retiring.
The marathon world record-holder headed a group of senior athletes who have been removed from the World Class Performance Programme for 2013, UK Athletics announced on Monday. The 39-year-old's omission was not a surprise, given she missed the London 2012 Olympics with a foot injury and has only run one marathon since 2009, in Beijing last year.
"Just to clarify I am very grateful for the support Lottery Funding gives us athletes and fully expected to see it withdrawn," she said on Twitter.
"From the beginning I have only ever received medical support, which is of course significant and vital. Since funding came in, I have seen big differences in the depth and strength of all our sports. Retirement is definitely not in any plans! I'm not doing all this cross training and getting this foot healthy and strong for nothing!"
UK Sport have narrowed the focus for funding for athletes across sports from those with top-eight potential to those who are medal contenders at global championships in the next Olympic cycle.
Radcliffe had been on podium-level funding, the highest level of Lottery support. Means testing meant she did not get any financial aid, which runs from around £13,000 to £26,000, but she did benefit from access to coaches, facilities, medical staff and training camps.
The mother of two, who saw her Olympic hopes ruined by illness and injury in 2004 and 2008, pulled out of the 2012 marathon with a foot injury after failing a fitness test a week before the event.
Several other senior names have also seen their funding taken away, including marathon runner Mara Yamauchi, veteran sprinters Marlon Devonish and Mark Lewis-Francis, European 400m hurdles champion Rhys Williams, former European 800m silver medallist Michael Rimmer, Commonwealth 1500m bronze medallist Steph Twell, former world 400m silver medallist Nicola Sanders and 800m runner Marilyn Okoro.
Athletes who impressed at the Olympics have been rewarded for their performances. High jump bronze medallist Robbie Grabarz has been promoted to podium funding, along with world junior 100m champion Adam Gemili, while rising heptathlon star Katarina Johnson-Thompson, discus thrower Lawrence Okoye and sprint hurdler Lawrence Clarke have also been added to the podium ranks.
A further group of athletes, considered potential medallists at the 2020 Games, have been given lower-level podium potential support. The programme also includes Paralympic athletes, and amputee sprinter Jonnie Peacock has been rewarded for his T44 100m gold with podium funding.

Best Of :: Bars & Clubs
Now that the Helm in Costa Mesa rests in Davy Jones' locker, the hipsters took over the Swinging Door, and the Fling is next, the Quill remains the last gasp of how drinking used to be in Orange County—not uppity froufrou mixologists, but a grizzled guy or gal who doesn't get fancier than a White Russian; not obnoxious EDM or too-cutesy DJs who think playing 1970s-TV-show theme songs is oh-so-awesome, but a jukebox that seems to always pull its songs from the combined KLOS and KFROG playlists; not fancy food, but a popcorn machine and a lunch menu no one seems to have ever eaten from. We'll let you in on a secret: More than a few judges and prosecutors make this their home away from home, so slide up to the bar and plead your case over the umpteenth Jameson neat.
It's telling that the Orange County Bartenders Cabinet—the group of local bartenders that meets once a month to teach one another how to make better drinks for the rest of us—uses this Seal Beach beaut as its home bar. Jason Schiffer and his crew have made 320 Main a Tesla-esque lab for cocktail experimentation, a place where Old-Fashioneds come out with the frequency of water with ice—and mustard isn't just a condiment for fries, but also comes in drinks. Despite its wizardry, the most remarkable part about Schiffer's crew is its lack of egos—no one won't look down on you if all you want is a Cosmopolitan, but one will whip up something on the house to entice you toward greatness.
It was the pioneer, the bar that went into downtown Santa Ana when everyone else was still convinced some cholo would rob anyone with skin lighter than coffee. It was the young gun, the place that wowed Orange County with its inventive cocktails that complement a New Southern menu. It was the perennial all-star, making Best Of lists such as this one and so many more year after year for its consistency. Then it became the veteran, sometimes forgotten as new kids emerged on the block to take away the buzz. Yet in the past year, Memphis At the Santora has re-emerged to take back its rightful crown, much as Nucky Thompson in Boardwalk Empire, by focusing on what always made it so spectacular: honest cocktails, bartenders who know to use Buffalo Trace instead of Maker's, and an atmosphere that finds all of SanTana leaning on Memphis' concrete bar and asking for one more for the road.
Far from the crowds in downtown Fullerton, the corporate schlock of downtown Brea, and the uppity gastropubs and mixology joints of Tustin and Orange stands this oasis of old-school. For 31 years, Brian Fairley has operated this friendly, clean dive bar on the eastern edge of Fullerton serving nothing but beer, wine, pickled eggs and barbecue. No liquor. No karaoke nights or DJs. No douchebags pounding Red Bull and vodkas. It's a place where you can actually conduct a conversation and not worry about attitude from the clientele or the bartenders. Sports memorabilia—much of it relating to Cal State Fullerton—lines the walls, and the 13 TVs mean you're never too far from the sporting life. There's one billiards table and a shuffleboard table, but beer is the main draw: more than 30 on tap (Pabst Blue Ribbon!), offered in pints or schooners or by the bottle. There are old-timers, college kids, working Joes and Joans, business types, and everything in between. The only comparable tavern in North OC is the equally groovy Kelly's Tavern, not too far away in Placentia.
One day, we're going to spend the entire day at Cassidy's—start off in the morning with the legendary cheeseburger, drink about 15 Bloody Marys for lunch, begin dinner with Jägermeister shots, have another cheeseburger as the locals and tourists start crowding the place, and end at 2 a.m., laughing as some idiot finally gets tossed out after last call for drinking and barfing and fighting and fucking and laughing just a bit too much and hard. Oh, wait . . . that was Saturday.
UC Irvine students don't drink like other college students. Well, they do, but instead of guzzling some mass-produced, American-style, light-lager swill brewed by a big-two brewery, they're knocking back Pliny the Elders and Oaked Arrogant Bastards, all without realizing what kind of beer they're drinking. Some of them even take a "Quarter Club" challenge, downing California craft brews for 10 weeks straight just to get their name on the wall. Did I mention that on average, it's only four bucks a pint? Cheaper during happy hour? The Anthill Pub on UCI's campus has been serving beer-geek brews at PBR prices for longer than anyone has ironically enjoyed PBR, churning out more accidental beer snobs than anywhere else in Orange County. Yeah, it's always crowded, keeps weird hours and is full of college kids, but it was also one of the first places in Orange County you could get a pour of Pliny the Younger. Trust us: Dealing with college kids is worth it for a chance at their booze.

it looks like the AP MAC filter is enabled, your AP won't take your Alpha fake Mac, you need to change your fake Mac to the Mac usauly connect to the AP,
I have what I think is a simple question. I am in the middle of taking the OSWP course and have a question about authenticating against a WEP-encrypted network with SKA enabled. For reference:
$ap = my AP's MAC
$alfa = my MAC
$pc = another laptop I have connected to my AP's MAC
My goal is to fakeauth with my alfa card to my AP by using a PRGA .xor generated via a fragmentation attack. Yes I know there are other ways I can inject (e.g. spoof my other client's MAC as my own after deauthing the other client, etc and fakeauth as that source mac). I don't want to do that because in a real life scenario (i.e. a pentest) it could be noticed and a good attacker probably would try to avoid it. Anyway - that aside, I must be missing something stupid here:
First I monitor my AP via airpdump-ng with:
And see the output w/ no problem, my PC connected to it, etc. (I'm posting this from a different computer so I can't copy and paste the output right now and I don't think it's necessary for this cause I know it's correct).Code:airodump-ng -c 6 --bssid $ap -w wepviaclient wlan0
Then I fragment to generate the .xor file:
A .xor is generated.Code:aireplay-ng -5 -b $ap -h $alfa -l 255.255.255.255 -k 255.255.255.255 wlan0
Then I attempt to fakeauth:
And I get:Code:aireplay-ng -1 0 -a $ap -h $alfa -y fragment-0629-233133.xor wlan0
Over, and over, and over.Code:Sending Authentication Request (Shared Key) [ACK] Authentication 1/2 successful Sending encrypted challenge [ACK] Challenge failure
The one thing I don't quite understand are the -l and -k switches when generating the .xor (I assume this is just so the AP will pass the packet through but some clarification there might be the key). Any ideas what I'm doing wrong? I feel like it's something very simple that I'm missing. In the mean time, turning off SKA or generating ARPs as an auth'd client works fine to increase IVs and I have already cracked the key several times. I don't know if this is really relevant to the course or not but I really want to know why this doesn't work.

it looks like the AP MAC filter is enabled, your AP won't take your Alpha fake Mac, you need to change your fake Mac to the Mac usauly connect to the AP,
No MAC filter - it's my AP and I know it's off. If I auth against it w/ open authentication it works fine. It's only when using SKA that I can't associate. I don't really see how the PRGA xor can be used to generate the key - or is it just being used to make it look like I already have the key and sent the association encrypted w/ a valid PRGA?
cd ~
cd ./fridge
rm beer
cd ../bedroom
more beer
I have the same issue
However i use another method to obtain the xor file
first i start by monitoring the network with
airodump-ng -w $FILE --bssid $BSSID -c $CHANNEL mon0
I notice that it is a network with WEP and the AUTH field says SKA
I deauth one client with:
aireplay-ng -0 1 -a $BSSID -c $CLIENT mon0
I see that i have a .xor file and i do
aireplay-ng -1 0 -e $ESSID -y $FILE.xor -a $BSSID -h $MY_MAC mon0
However the reply is:
15:38:03 Sending Authentication Request (Shared Key) [ACK]
15:38:03 Authentication 1/2 successful
15:38:03 Sending encrypted challenge. [ACK]
15:38:03 Challenge failure
I may be missing the point - it's been a long week (!), but how about the following:
Capture Output: airodump-ng -c 1 -w ska -bssid [bssid] mon0 (.xor via client connection, deauth, etc)
Create Packet: packetforge-ng -0 -a [ bssid] -h [my client mac] -l 255.255.255.255 -k 255.255.255.255 -y captured.xor -w output.cap
Fake Auth: aireplay-ng -1 10 -e [essid] a [BSSID] -h [my client mac] -y output.cap mon0
Natural Replay: aireplay-ng -2 -r output.cap
Crack: aircrack-ng output.cap
Just create an entry in you MAC inclusion list on your router settings to include the faked MAC you want to use for the attack. If you use an Alfa card and then change it's MAC, it can no longer associate with ifconfig settings. If you do include the fake MAC into the inclusion list, you can continue to function on the same interface without the issue of inconsistency.
I have generated a series of inclusions into my AP so I can have a choice depending on the situation, and this will still allow you to connect to your AP after you use macchanger.
I can happily crack the AP (my home router) if I use open WEP or WPA2 (with the password in the wordlist of course), but as soon as I change to shared key WEP I get the same problem of "Authentication 1/2 successful...Challenge failure" repeated over and over again.
I've tried changing my mac to that of the authorised client and I still get the same problem (with and without the client being active).
I can't find a solution anywhere on the web (though the aircrack-ng forums are down atm) despite searching for a number of hours.
Anyone find a solution for a total noob like me?
P.S. AP is a TP-Link TL-WR1043N. Client is an old Dell Inspiron and penetration box is a Asus M51vm running BT5r2 with an intel WiFi Link 5100 (apt upgrade and dist-upgrade run this morning 3-June-12).
Is that possibly my problem? Do I need to have the right MAC for the fake auth with an XOR packet? Anyone know how to have the macchanger MAC pass through to mon0?

AT&T to Provide Exclusive Wireless Network Enhancements at Churchill Downs Racetrack for the 139th Kentucky Derby
AT&T is the first and only wireless provider to connect to a Distributed Antenna System for this year's event. COWs and CARTs will connect spectators at the Kentucky Derby - the greatest two minutes in sports
Louisville, Kentucky, April 25, 2013
Thanks to a new high-speed Distributed Antenna System (DAS) at Churchill Downs in Louisville, home to the world famous Kentucky Derby, AT&T will provide customers with exclusive, enhanced wireless connectivity for the thoroughbred horse racing and other May 4 events where crowds can reach more than 150,000 on Derby day.
AT&T collaborated with a third party wireless infrastructure provider for the installation of new wireless antennas located throughout the Grandstands, Suites and premium seating areas of the venue to improve wireless coverage, capacity and data speeds during peak event times.
AT&T will be the first wireless carrier to connect to the DAS. The third party wireless infrastructure provider has worked closely with Churchill Downs and AT&T's Antenna Solutions Group (ASG) to ensure the network is designed to meet the needs of AT&T's customers as well as Churchill Downs, given the historical nature of the facility.
"Investment in next-generation technologies is imperative to Kentucky's future success," said Senator Robert Stivers. "During the greatest two minutes in sports, the world is focused on the Commonwealth of Kentucky. Kentuckians, as well as thousands of visitors from across the globe, will descend on Churchill Downs for the Kentucky Derby and I will continue to encourage investment in better wireless and broadband across the state through innovative public policy."
AT&T has further beefed up its network enhancements by providing six Compact A/C Radio Telephone Sites (CARTs) in the Churchill Downs infield to provide additional network capacity in the area. AT&T will also provide two COWs in the neighborhood surrounding the track. The extra capacity will bolster voice and mobile Internet performance for Derby customers. AT&T often rolls in COWs for large events that generate a spike in network traffic.
"AT&T customers at Churchill Downs will have a better and more immersive mobile experience than ever before as they capture and share historical moments from the world famous horse race," said Chad Townes, vice president of AT&T's Antenna Systems Group.
According to Kevin Flanery, president of Churchill Downs Racetrack, "Churchill Downs is committed to providing exceptional wireless coverage on Derby day. Our collaboration with AT&T will bring the latest wireless technology to Churchill Downs and address the coverage and capacity issues when folks are using their wireless devices to capture those photos, utilize social media and make calls."
In addition to ensuring voice calls are successfully connected, the DAS will allow smart phones, tablets and other devices to access the Internet and run interactive applications including the Kentucky Derby mobile application. The Kentucky Derby mobile application allows users to access many features on their mobile devices, including information on the schedule of racing and entertainment events, horse and contender information, betting information, ticket information and sales, video and photo galleries, Derby trivia and racing meets, Facebook and Twitter links, and breaking news announcements.
"An integral part of our goal to deliver an outstanding customer experience is to provide an exceptional wireless experience," said AT&T Kentucky President Mary Pat Regan. "We want to enable the thousands of Derby attendees to use their wireless devices to capture the memories made and stay connected."
AT&T's 4G Network
The AT&T 4G network** is the nation's largest, covering more than 292 million people with ultra-fast speeds and a more consistent user experience. AT&T's 4G LTE network delivers speeds faster than many other mobile Internet technologies***, as well as multiple innovations that optimize the network for performance. The company has deployed two compatible 4G technologies to deliver more speed to more smartphone customers, which means AT&T customers can get 4G speeds outside of 4G LTE areas on 4G HSPA+, unlike some competitors, where smartphone customers may fall back to slower 3G technologies when outside of LTE coverage.
For more information about AT&T's coverage in Kentucky or anywhere in the United States, consumers can visit the AT&T Coverage Viewer. For updates on the AT&T wireless network, please visit the AT&T network news page.

INDEX — A 39-year-old Seattle man and his dog were found safe Thursday morning after getting lost on Mount Persis, near Index.
The man had triggered his emergency beacon about 10:30 p.m. Wednesday, Snohomish County sheriff's Lt. Rob Beidler said.
The man apparently had gotten off route while looking for his dog, Beidler said. The dog had gotten stuck in a tree well, a hole in the snowpack that forms at the base of trees.
The man freed the dog, but by then it was dark and the dog appeared to be in distress, Beidler said. The man triggered his emergency beacon at that point, but rescue crews had to wait for daylight to navigate the rough terrain.
The man and dog were found safe about 2,400 feet up the 5,400-foot peak west of Index in the Mount Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest.
Both were unhurt.

Because after 6 months of exclusively pumping and dealing with a gassy, refluxy baby and a flare up in my asthma that I couldn't treat while BFing, I was tired and ready to try something different. Formula helped make him a much happier baby and helped me breathe easier, literally.
#1 - 11/10/11
#2 - 3/29/14
And I don't feel even a little bad about it. My baby is fed and healthy, that's what really matters.
With my first it was inexperience. DS (dear son) was hypoglycemic, and so we tried to bf, but he needed something to bring up his blood sugar. But after that he just wouldn't latch. Then I tried to pump and give him that, and he hated the taste of BM.
My third had the same issues, but because I had successfully BF (breastfeed, or boyfriend) number 2 I was able to overcome the obstacles placed by her stay in the NICU.
It's because crazy pants lied.
InkedMom, I think I would have killed the woman. It's amost unbelievable that there are people like that, especiay a nurse in L&D. You're dealing with, sometimes exhausted, moms and you feel right then is the perfect time to be a bitch?
Trinity Crossing (Esty)
"Bullocks! You've been here fucking 5 minutes and you're lying already!" "GSH"
D & D ('10) = R('10) A('13) PPD Survivor('11)
Because my son wouldn't latch on and I got tired of pumping. And for dd, I felt overwhelmed having a toddler and a newborn and didn't want to add stress. And for LO, I pumped enough to have 2 mos of milk but insurance wouldn't cover my hospital grade pump anymore and he never latched either since he was in the NICU.
And it's my body. And I hate feeling like I made some kind of horrible choice for my child because I didn't BF.
It is easier when you are working full time.
Pumping sucks (pun intended)
I was up for a promotion at work. I knew that pumping would take away from working so even though they would accomodate me, I had to be taken seriously as a professional while I was working.
I got the promotion by the way so it was totally worth it and now I support my family at a much better pay.
"Sometimes someone says something really small and it just fits into this empty place in your heart"
I wasn't producing enough milk to keep up and it was making me depressed. Happy mom= happy baby.
"Strange times in which we live when people are taught falsehoods in school . And the person that dares to tell the truth is at once called a lunatic and a fool."
With my first it was inexperience. DS (dear son) was hypoglycemic, and so we tried to bf, but he needed something to bring up his blood sugar. But after that he just wouldn't latch.
^^^^This is exactly what happened with my oldest, too - his blood sugar was in the teens at birth. I did pump (and was miserable) for several weeks, though...but I've pumped for 3 kids and can't go more than 2 months before my supply completely poops out when exclusively pumping.
My middle son wouldn't latch, either. I pumped about 8 weeks then the supply pooped out. I took all the supplements available at that time and worked with LC's but it was over.
And #3 was a preemie (well, technically, all 3 were preemies but the other 2 were 36-weekers)...he got breastmilk for 3 months but, again, exclusively pumping isn't enough to keep my supply up for some reason (I was pumping every 2-3 hours around the clock).
As far as WIC goes...my youngest son is 2 1/2 and still on formula (he is 100% g-tube dependent) and we STILL get asked if we breastfeed and why we quit breastfeeding. In fact, I still get asked why I quit breastfeeding my 4 y/o...I'm like REALLY?

Samuel T. Cogley was a male Human civilian in the 23rd century. In 2267, he was an attorney-at-law at Starbase 11.
That same year, Cogley defended James T. Kirk in a court martial, at the recommendation of Lieutenant Areel Shaw, after fellow Starfleet officer Lieutenant Commander Finney was apparently murdered.
Cogley was strong-willed and old-fashioned, preferring paper books to computers. He had an extensive collection of books, ranging from the Hebrew Bible to the work of the Tribunal of Alpha III in its original language. He claimed never to use the computer in his office. After Lieutenant Shaw recommended him to Kirk, Cogley moved into Kirk's room at the starbase, bringing many volumes of law books with him.
Cogley's courtroom style was impassioned and dramatic. Shaw said Cogley was "well known for his theatrics."
Kirk was being tried for culpable negligence leading to the death of Ben Finney. The USS Enterprise had been caught in an ion storm, and during the storm, Kirk had ejected an ion pod, with Finney apparently inside it. In his sworn account of the event, Kirk stated that he had ejected the pod several seconds after going to red alert. The computer log indicated that he had ejected the pod before going to red alert, while the ship was still on yellow alert. After Shaw, prosecuting at the court martial, presented a visual record of the log confirming the computer's account, Cogley privately asked Kirk if he wished to change his plea, claiming he could get Kirk off. Kirk, however, was certain, and decided to go forward with his plea of not guilty.
Cogley's suspicions were aroused when he and Kirk received a visit from Finney's daughter, Jame. She had previously accused Kirk of murdering her father, but during this visit, she begged Cogley to help him, saying she did not blame Kirk for her father's death.
Just before the trial was due to conclude – and after Cogley had rested his case – First Officer Spock entered the courtroom and informed Cogley that the Enterprise computer had shown signs of tampering. (Specifically, Spock had been able to beat it in three-dimensional chess five times running, which should have been impossible, as Spock programmed it to the same level as his abilities, meaning that the best that could be hoped for was a stalemate.) Cogley gave an impassioned plea to the court about Human rights, invoking the Bible, the Code of Hammurabi and of Justinian, the Magna Carta, the United States Constitution, the Fundamental Declarations of the Martian colonies, and the Statutes of Alpha III. He held that the court had denied Kirk the right to face his accuser, the Enterprise computer, and in so doing had elevated the machine above the Human. The court concurred, and reconvened aboard the Enterprise.
While Doctor McCoy used a white sound device to prove that Finney was still alive and aboard the Enterprise, Cogley returned to the surface and brought Jame Finney on board, believing that the presence of Finney's daughter might make Finney himself easier to handle. Kirk apprehended Finney, and the charges against Kirk were dismissed.
After Kirk was acquitted, Cogley sent him a book as a farewell present. He planned to defend Finney against the charges related to his plot against Kirk. Cogley was confident of an acquittal. (TOS: "Court Martial")

ONTARIO - City officials agreed to eliminate 18,000 square feet of parkland space at the Ontario Soccer Complex in an effort to help promote it.
At its meeting Tuesday night, the City Council agreed to amend its General Plan, converting open space into industrial use. The move will allow for a 64 foot-high pylon billboard sign with an electronic LED message display to be built on that site.
The council also approved a 30-year ground lease with San Diego-based General Outdoor Advertising, which will be constructing and managing the only billboard sign located along the 60 Freeway in Ontario.
The agreement could net the city anywhere from $100,000 to $200,000 annually for the first five years and upwards of $230,000 to $312,000 annually after that. Overall, the 30-year contract with the billboard company is estimated to bring in between $6.3 million to $8.7 million to the city's General Fund, said Jerry Blum, Planning director for Ontario.
"That's a substantial amount of resources coming back to this community, really at no cost to the city," he said.
Officials said the billboard sign will not take away from any of the existing playing fields.

How to set up an IP address in FAST-TRACK (or backtrack) to let vulnerable machine reverse to connect it, I have used backtrack in VM , network is NET, so the IP address of backtrack is a LAN IP address, when the fast-track discovered a vulnerable machine, what it reverse-connected was LAN IP address!I want to use socks5 proxy to accept the date of backlink , how can I set up
an IP address which can provide the reverse connection in the fast-track?
1,How to set up a global socks5 proxy and multi-level proxy through DANTE ? Now I have an SSH host, how to do it?
2,I have a VM host with 192.168.30.128 , using the WIN2000 system. I would like to use FAST-TRACK autopwn module to test it, but my backtrack IP is 192.168.30.129, I want it to connect back to my backtrack, IP address is WANIPof my host.I use SSH to connect my host to be the SOCKS5 proxy.
3,So I try to add a new network card in the VM virtual machine, and set up it to be a static WAN IP address. The IP address of NIC 2 is still the DHCP's,and then we do port mapping in the virtual machine
As a result, when I try to detect it,the reverse connection is always pointing to my LAN IP address
4、I tried a VPN connection, but i still can not find it!And it still connects back to my LAN IP address.
5、I think it should be no less complex, if you can set up a shared IP address through the backtrack so that all software can choose it?
Look forward to your answer,Thanks

Eric Church makes career best chart debut
Listen to Eric Church on iHeartRadio
It looks like Eric Church might have an instant hit on his hands.
Billboard.com says the country star's new single, "The Outsiders," is entering the Country Airplay chart at number 25, which is by far his best debut on the chart.
Eric's previous best was as a featured artist on Jason Aldean's "The Only Way I Know," which opened on the chart at number 47 in November 2012.
As the primary artist, Eric's best chart debut came in 2011 with "Homeboy," which started its run at number 48.
"The Outsiders" is the lead-off single from Eric's upcoming album. The still untitled studio project is his follow up to 2011's Chief.

text: As I told you previously Michael Strahan cheated on Nicole Murphy. TMZ says that Nicole dumped Michael because she confirmed that he had been cheating on her. I definitely heard this was a two way street but since the source who leaked the information to TMZ is Nicole or one of her friends, you are only going to get one side. The reports says Nicole found out about the cheating in early July and confirmed it over the weekend. That might have been the most recent, but it sure was not all. It is interesting though that Michael used to be this jealous, almost crazy person when it came to making sure Nicole was not cheating on him (because she had been) and following her everywhere and putting GPS devices on her car, but as soon as he ended his football career and started appearing on television everywhere and women started pursuing him he stopped caring what Nicole was doing because he was too busy with his own issues.

Bountiful •
It's doubtful that anyone knows for certain which Utah bowler has been in a league the longest or which team has been in the same league with the same sponsor the longest.
But it's a good bet that a team that was started 76 years ago near the end of the Great Depression by some printers, and sponsored that entire time by The Salt Lake Tribune in the Capitol League, would rank high on that list.
And you could probably make some money if you wagered that 85-year-old retired Bountiful printer William Buckley had been on the same team the longest. In fact, Buckley began his 56th year as a member of that team this season in a league that now bowls at Fat Cats in Salt Lake County.
"I'm down there for fun," said Buckley, who carries a respectable 175 average that he is not all that happy with at the moment. "As long as it's fun, it's good to bowl. When it's no longer fun, then you quit. I come down to have a good time."
The retired Tribune backshop worker, who once operated a linotype machine that used hot lead long before the days when everything was done by computer, also bowls in a Monday-night Metro League at the Bonwood in Salt Lake City.
Buckley spent 42 years working at the newspaper. He's the only former Tribune employee on the team, which also includes Morris Daras, Dale Feltenbarger and Randy Thornblad, but the newspaper still pays the $40-a-year-sponsor fee.
He said he stays in shape by going to Gold's Gym in Bountiful almost daily, alternating his exercise program between lifting weights one day and then walking on the treadmill the next. Buckley can easily still do 10 chin-ups.
His daughter, a doctor, told him to quit running to protect his knees, so he puts his treadmill on climb for a half-mile. When a pain developed in his lower leg near his hip, he was worried. So he switched to a bicycle to exercise what turned out to be a weak hamstring.
When Buckley was 77, he once rolled a 298 and carried a 198 average. Six weeks before he turned 80, he started a game with a "baby split" before rolling 11 strikes in a row. He bowled the best series one year in a league when he was in his 70s.
He is frustrated because his average has dropped the past couple of years, including a 172 last year. The veteran bowler admits to getting older, but still thinks he is capable of throwing the ball with the best of them.
"[Alley owners] can use three oils on the surface, and they keep mixing the oils up so your ball doesn't work as good," he said. "I bought another ball, but it was breaking twice what I wanted. So I bought another one, and it's doing the same thing. I've learned to deal with it. I am trying a new technique to overcome it. I think if I do what I want, I will be up there again."
Perhaps Buckley has discovered the secret to longtime athletic success. You stay in good physical shape and remain open-minded about learning new techniques.
That said, good fortune helps, too.
"Right now, I feel blessed and lucky," said the man who may be setting some sort of Utah bowling record by simply doing what he's always enjoyed.

You heard it here first - the tray-blets are coming.
Samsung's massive slab of Galaxy NotePRO has a 12.2in display - and while that might not sound like much more than its regular-sized Note 10.1 tablet, in real life it's a big leap. This gargantuan Galaxy has nearly 50% more screen than the 10in Samsung tab and looks rather like someone's lopped off your laptop keyboard and handed it back to you.
In short, it's a tech tray (it easily carries papers, earphones and smartphones but we'd probably draw the line at tea and coffee) boldly taking tablets into new and exciting territory. Sure, Sony and Panasonic have flirted with the idea of 20in tablets, but they were really just for in-home use - the NotePro 12.2 wants to kick back on coffee tables, tear up train journeys and lean nonchalantly at the back of meetings.
It's an impressive Mk.1 thanks mostly to its ability to run not two (not three!) but four 6.1in(ish) windows at once. And it's got the lovely and lively Magazine UX interface, an unsurprisingly brilliant screen, the S Pen accessory and day-long battery life.
That said, the Galaxy NotePRO 12.2 doesn't fully solve the problem of business bods wishing they could fold up their work computer neatly and take it home with them. At S$1198, it's an expensive extra, compared to an iPad or Nexus, it quickly gets heavy in use and is also, far and away, the tablet most likely to knock out the old lady next to you at the bus stop. But this unwieldy wonder could be the oversized slate you never realised you needed - if you know how to handle it...
Training a Giganto-Tab
Did we mention it's big? Well, it is. Sure, the NotePRO's slim at 7.95mm thick but it still has the same surface area of two conjoined iPad Minis so you'll need to start allocating hang-out spots for it at work and for charging by the bed.
This Samsung slate is also too heavy to hold one-handed - at 750g it's not quite up there with the Surface Pro 2 (900g), but with its kickstand and snap-on keyboards, the Microsoft tab just about manages on laps as well as desks. The NotePRO takes some getting used to but after a few slapstick-style rearranging sessions, you'll get there - it's just a question of elbows. And leaning it against the conference table.
Otherwise, this is standard Samsung fare with a faux-leather, real plastic back, which feels just as nicely textured as the Note 3's, plus metal-look sides and a home button smack-bang in the centre when held in landscape. Flanked by two capacitive back and menu buttons, this makes it tricky to use in portrait. To solve this niggle, we'd say just don't use it in portrait. Seriously, keep this thing in landscape unless you've tracked down a fancy cover-stand for your desk.
How Close Should My Face Be?
Ideally, not too close - the NotePRO's 12.2in screen is best used at almost arm's length. It's 2560x1600 resolution is impressive but at 247ppi and with that pesky PenTile arrangement, it's not as sharp as the Note 10.1 - text on icons, webpages and ebooks doesn't look all that crisp when you're nose-to-pixels with the NotePRO.
Read: Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014) review
For a pure movie tablet, the iPad Air serves up superior video with finer detail and deeper blacks, but the NotePRO 12.2 itself has excellent contrast for webpages and word processing, with good viewing angles to boot. That's nice considering this is a tablet big enough for two. It's just as eye-searingly bright as other Samsung tablets and colours can be pumped up or muted as you as you see fit, thanks to the screen mode settings.
It's a clever screen, too, with Smart Stay tech on board to track your eyes and keep the screen on while you pore over docs - one niggle, an LG-style tap to wake feature would be magic on this device, as it can be a bit of a chore shimmying hands up or down to power or home buttons.
And while we lightly scoff at 247ppi, there are enough pixels for four apps or videos to run in separate, resizeable windows. Building on the Note series' Multi Window expertise brilliantly, this is the tablet's killer feature.
Operating system - Android 4.4 KitKat
Processor - 1.9GHz octo-core Exynos
Screen - 12.2in Super Clear LCD with 2560 x 1600 resolution (247ppi)
Cameras - 8MP rear (AF, LED flash), 2MP front
Storage - 32/64GB (expandable by up to 64GB)
Connectivity - Dual band Wi-Fi, 3G/4G (optional), USB 3.0, Bluetooth 4.0
Battery - 9500mAh
Dimensions/weight - 296 x 204 x 8mm/750g (753g for 3G/4G version)
Four is the Magic Number
Buy a big tablet and you don't simply want the small tablet experience blown up. Samsung trips up a few times (the Notifications feature isn't altered and should be two pulldowns as with stock Android) but mostly it gets things spot-on.
Swipe from the right and you'll see Multi Window-compatible apps that you can drag and drop onto your screen to run two, three or four at once with a pop-up floating keyboard staying mostly out of the way. They're largely Samsung and Google apps - with Drive sorely lacking - and you can't seem to mute individual windows, but the feature really has been expanded and tightened. It's the fastest experience of Multi Window yet and we love creating 'Paired Windows', a feature that automatically launches selected apps simultaneously - Chrome and Gmail, for example. Simply, it makes getting work done on the NotePRO much more like the fluid, chaotic, ten-tabs-open-at-once experience of using a laptop or desktop PC. We'd very much like Samsung to bump up the Note and TabPRO 10.1's Multi Window skills to four but we can't see the lesser tabs getting that treatment.
It's not all work, though - the other big news is the extended Magazine UX. There are regular homescreens with grids of apps and widgets - this is Android 4.4 after all - but two default screens (and more) can be populated with big tiles of email, Twitter, calendar (S Planner), TV (WatchON) and news updates.
This is as close to a full-on Flipboard tablet as you'll get, and the image-based social and news app is quite the updates Goliath, with everything from subscribing to topics such as Sochi and Bitcoin to 'News in Photos' or 'News Radio' via Soundcloud podcasts. The content is skewed towards America, but it's a lively way to jump into using the NotePRO of a morning with a big, bold, swipeable digest of work appointments, headlines and tweets.
PRO = Designed for Business
Seemingly competing with the wave of Windows 8 Pro tablets we've seen over the past 12 months, the NotePRO does everything in its powers to woo business users. Short of running Microsoft Office, that is.
So there's no Office, but the pre-installed Hancom app, which lets you open and edit Office docs and runs almost identically to Microsoft's suite is a good alternative, plus there's Google Drive to suit non-power spreadsheeters. Another big plus is that the My Files app lets you view what's on the device, highlight favourites and drag and drop folders just as you would on a PC or Mac. With WebEx for conferencing, a BusinessWeek sub and the excellent S Planner calendar app (which makes good use of the roomy screen), it's a tidy set-up. And you can install a Remote PC agent on PCs and Macs, while Samsung's Knox security is in place to keep everything secure.
For an on-the-go work device, we'd still rather take a capable Windows all-rounder such as the smaller Asus Transformer T100, which is half the price, runs Office and can run Adobe's Creative Suite and any other software a traditional PC can. But depending on what you need out of a work tablet, the Samsung has worked itself a nice niche with the NotePRO's business face.
Note tablets need S Pens
The PRO might signify work time but this is still a Note tablet and that means an S Pen tucked away in the right-hand corner. We won't go into too much detail except to say it works just as well as on the Note 10.1 and Note 3 and has the same roster of features. Some even make more sense on a bigger screen - Pen Window for example, which allows you to mark out the size of a pop-up window with the stylus. Running Maps over a browser with a pop-up keyboard hovering below it feels vaguely futuristic and with S Pen in hand will make your boss think you look terribly, terribly busy.
Read: Samsung Galaxy Note 3 review
We've half a mind to set the NotePRO up on an easel, as the pressure-sensitive S Pen also works well for doodling downtime thanks to S Note and apps such as SketchBook Express - but it's too big and heavy unless it's flat on a desk or propped up.
Exynos Power
Multi Window really shows off the NotePRO's power, which in the version we're testing comes from a 1.9GHz quad-core Exynos chip backed up by 3GB of RAM (you get a Snapdragon 800 in the 3G/4G versions). With dual band Wi-Fi, downloads are just as fast, browsing is smooth and although it's a tricky size for gaming and we wouldn't necessarily recommend it for that reason, it does at least handle intensive titles just fine.
Benchmark-heads will note that while the NotePro posts excellent scores in Geekbench 3 (2802) and AnTuTu (34300), it is beaten by the Galaxy Note 3 in both cases. That's nothing to worry about, though - the only actual lag we encountered is the standard Samsung stutter around the UI. Homescreen rotations can be a smidge slow, widgets can blink and stutter. It's a little disappointing on a device this price but nothing that spoils the NotePRO's features.
Lugging Around A Big Battery
The NotePRO is relatively heavy, as we moaned earlier, but that's at least partly because of its beastly 9500mAh battery. At just over nine hours thirty minutes of video streaming in our HD rundown test (Wi-Fi on, half brightness), it lasts just as long as an iPad Air and hours longer than most laptops.
It also hangs on to its last 5% admirably (something we love in phones and tablets), plus it springs into life very quickly from dead when plugged in.
If we always got our own way, we'd say Samsung could fit the NotePRO with a smaller battery to try and shave some of that 750g weight down - an ample eight to nine hours would get most of us back from work still charged, and with a lighter tab we'd be much more likely to take it out in the first place.
Not So Conspicu-Cam
If a smartphone, phablet or even Nexus 7 is a covert taco cam, this is a jumbo burrito cam. We don't really recommend taking pics with the NotePRO because it draws tons of attention to itself, its tricky to hold steady and chances are you'll always have a smartphone in your pocket anyway.
If you insist, the NotePRO matches the output of 8MP cameras seen on the Galaxy S3, and that means clear, detailed and punchy images. It shoots 1080p video, too, and the 2MP front facer makes for bright and colourful Skype calls - once you track down that elusive stand to save your arms, that is.
Samsung Galaxy NotePRO 12.2 Verdict
Kitchen tablet, maybe. Coffee table tablet, sure. Conference room tablet, definitely. A take-anywhere, whisper 'goodnight' to tablet? Not really.
Or at least - not yet. What's it good for? Multi-tasking, viewing documents, conferencing and catching up with the news. What's it not so good for? Long stretches of typing, gaming and using in impromptu situations. The NotePRO 12.2 might not be perfect and it certainly isn't cheap, but in one or two iterations, this could be the go-to business tablet Samsung is aiming for. When it's lighter with a zippier interface and more apps compatible with its nifty features, it will be worth that steep price.
It also needs some appealing accessories, though - workstation dock, kitchen-friendly stand, attachable keyboard - not just the one size fits all Samsung cover. Because the NotePRO can be tricky to squeeze into your normal routine, Samsung needs to help make the case for its really big tablet.
The NotePRO 12.2 is a typically Samsung gamble and it largely pays off. Now, we've just got to find somewhere to put it...

First, don academic robes tricked out with some costume accessories, like a mask, beads or a cape. Then, parade with fellow students, professors and staff to the sound of "The March of Acid-Free Paper."
Why? It's the traditional way to deliver your senior honors thesis at Wheaton. It may sound a bit goofy, but it's a spoof and it's fun. That's the point of the celebration.
Traditions form an important part of Wheaton's campus culture. Many Wheaton traditions are rooted deeply in the college's 175 years of history; others, such as the thesis parade, are of more recent vintage.
The Head of the Peacock regatta began about 20 years ago as a celebration of spring and student ingenuity. The race of homemade boats on Peacock Pond inspires creativity: teams of students everything from empty beer kegs to old bathtubs as they try to fashion a watercraft that will stay afloat—and maybe even claim a prize. Of course, the failures are fun, too.
If you are new to Wheaton, there are a few unwritten "rules" of which you should be aware:
- Every student MUST swim in Peacock Pond before they graduate.
- The front door of the chapel is meant for senior use only. If you are an underclassman, you must use the side doors when entering and exiting the chapel.
