Duke Energy communications exec to discuss secret weapon to leadership Jan. 26
By Peggy Binette, firstname.lastname@example.com, 803-777-5400
Some argue that a person's emotional intelligence is one of the best predictors of success as a leader. Duke Energy communications executive Ginny Mackin agrees.
Mackin, senior vice president and chief communications officer at Duke Energy, will give a public talk Thursday, Jan. 26, at the University of South Carolina. She will discuss the importance for leaders to develop their emotional intelligence or EQ in order for businesses to succeed globally.
Titled "Your Secret Weapon? Cultivating EQ for Sustainable Leadership in today's global environment," Mackin's talk will be at 7 p.m. in the university's School of Law auditorium. It is free and open to the public.
EQ refers to the ability to understand and manage emotion, your own and that of others. Mackin calls EQ "the single most important strength needed for cultivating great leaders and successful teams in today's global marketplace." She also will share personal experiences from her career as a communications professional with some of the nation's leading companies.
Her visit is part of the University of South Carolina and Duke Energy's Executive-in-Residence Program, which is bringing to campus some of Duke Energy's top executives from the fields of energy and environmental policy, economic development, power distribution and delivery, communications and government and regulatory affairs.
Launched last fall, the program is giving students, faculty and business leaders an expanded understanding of the complexities of leadership and sustainability. It is part of a larger leadership initiative at USC.
Mackin has more than 25 years experience as a communications and business leader. A native of Upper Montclair, N.J., Mackin joined Duke Energy in 2010. She previously was a communications executive in the banking industry with Wells Fargo, Wachovia and Bank of America. She is a member of the board of directors of Junior Achievement of the Carolinas.
Her visit to USC is being hosted by the College of Mass Communications and Information Studies.

FORT COLLINS, Colo. — Forget the frat houses. Students at a Colorado college can now get credit for brewing and drinking beer.
Colorado State University plans to install a brewery in Lory Student Center's pub called the Ramskeller to provide students hands-on training.
The university said it's supply and demand, with a lot of demand for workers in Colorado's growing microbrewery industry.
CSU's student brewery proposal is rare and has been done only in a few other schools around the country, including California, Oregon and Illinois.
The CSU beer will not be available outside the university, but it could be served at the Ramskeller — named after the mascot for the CSU Rams.
The brewery is part of a multimillion dollar renovation to the student center.
"What could be better than sitting in the Ramskeller watching brewers at work. I think it is very unique, and that's what makes it special," said Michael Ellis, executive director of the student center.
The new operation will be a small, six-barrel system that will be more of a classroom than a production brewery.
According to the Fort Collins Coloradoan ( http://tinyurl.com/at22u9t ), CSU has also expanded a major in fermentation science and technology. Aside from beer, fermentation includes the dairy, wheat, beef, pork, lamb, grape, hop and barley industries.
Northern Colorado is home to nearly a dozen breweries as well as MouCo Cheese Co., Leprino Foods and Noosa Yoghurt that could benefit from the degree. Other Colorado companies include bread makers such as Udi's, which also involve fermentation.
Jeff McCubbin, CSU College of Health and Human Sciences dean, said that the potential of a campus brewery is unique and of great benefit for a fermentation science degree.
"There is great potential for opportunity for learning experiences if the brewery is developed," he said. "I certainly hope to draw more students for fermentation science in general."

Did you know?
The Pilanesberg balloon company Airtrackers has over 30 years and 7 000 hours combined flying experience.
If you're visiting the Pilanesberg Game Reserve, right next door to Sun City, why not take the opportunity to do something different and go hot-air ballooning over the Pilanesberg?
The Pilanesberg Game Reserve, situated in the caldera of a 1.3-million-year-old extinct volcano, is a wonderfully scenic reserve replete with mountains, valleys, plains, rocky outcrops and a huge dam.
Only three decades ago this 55 000ha game reserve was nothing more than overused and abandoned farmland. Then, in 1979, along came Operation Genesis – at the time one of the most ambitious rehabilitation and game-stocking programmes in the world. Today over 7 000 animals (including the Big Five) roam the reserve's diverse ecosystems.
Pilanesberg is also home to hundreds of bird species and you may well find yourself eye-to-eye with a Verreaux's or tawny eagle as your hot-air balloon floats high over the surrounding countryside.
Depending on wind and weather conditions, you'll fly at anything from treetop height to just over 1 800m.
You'll see lots of game on this aerial safari – herds of antelope, grazing white rhino (the Pilanesberg is one of the best places in the world to see white rhino), stately giraffe, scampering zebra, browsing elephants, herds of buffalo, and, if you're lucky, lions and maybe even a leopard.
But ballooning is not just about game-spotting. No longer earth-bound, just soak up the tranquillity, shed your stress, and watch Africa's majesty drift slowly beneath you.

Best time to visit
Any time of year is good, but remember to wrap up warmly in winter. Balloons fly every day of the week at sunrise (depending on weather conditions).
Around the area
Shake off the wild for a while and try your luck at the Sun City Casino, catch a tan and a wave at Sun City's Valley of the Waves, or see a show at the Sun City theatres.
Tours to do
Pilanesberg Game Reserve offers guided game drives throughout the day, as well as night drives.
What will it cost
Approximately R1 500 to R2 000 per person.
What to pack
Binoculars, camera and a warm jacket (even in summer).
Where to stay
Pilanesberg Game Reserve has plenty of accommodation options ranging from luxury lodges to self-catering chalets and camp sites. Alternatively you can stay at Sun City, right next door to the reserve.
What to eat
Breakfast is often included as part of your aerial safari package.

Ivan Menjivar $1.56 vs Wilson Reis $2.50- I think that these odds are going to move, so you should too. Menjivar is a solid vet against a guy with some capabilities, but who is relatively limited. Reis hasn't impressed me with his BJJ and certainly not his striking to consider him a real threat to Menjivar. Ivan is never going to challenge for the title, but he is an excellent gatekeeper and Reis doesn't have the key, so to speak. Menjivar is vastly superior on the feet and good enough (if not better) on the ground to stay out of trouble. Ivan is a solid contributor to your parlay bets and would make a decent double up parlays with Costa Philippou. Neither guy pays strong enough to consider a single bet, but together they are in the $2.40 range which is an enticing opportunity. Hit it hard!
Matt Mitrione/ Brendan Schaub Total Rounds Over 1.5 $1.69- This is a risk and a little out of the norm for me, playing the Over with the Heavies. I expect that Schaub is going to try and use his wrestling here and take Mitrione down and avoid the risk of his chin getting smashed again. Similar to the Lavar Johnson fight, play the Over.
I despise piracy can sum1 post a link so I don't type it in by accident
it's amazing how no one cares about ufc on here. Hardly any discussion. fuck it lol
I'm overjoyed to hear gus made it a war. These two will probably fight at least 3 times when all is said and done
I had gus winning it what did you think jimmy

Date Fruit May Lead to Faster, Timely, and More Effective Labour
I have seen this and a similar study making the rounds in many of my doula and midwifery groups as of late. It is interesting information. It is based on a study wherein it was determined that eating plenty of date fruit daily in late pregnancy may have a significant effect on the way things turn out, with women requiring less use of induction or drugs and having a generally easier labour and birth.
Even if the effect is coincidental, it certainly does not hurt to eat clean, healthy dates late in pregnancy.
Here is a link to the study so that you can read it for yourself:
22nd December 2012 07:29 AM #2
Wow that's really interesting. Those statistics would certainly convince me to eat plenty of dates next time around.
Thanks for sharing this - this information could make a real difference to some ladies if it is statistically significant.
Happy Christmas!

CHESTERTOWN, MD -- Junior attackman Jim Cusick (Fallston, MD/Calvert Hall) scored a career-high five goals as fifth-ranked host Washington College defeated visiting McDaniel College, 14-12, in an up-tempo Centennial Conference men's lacrosse opener for both schools this afternoon on Kibler Field at Roy Kirby, Jr. Stadium.
McDaniel (3-6 overall) held a 5-3 lead early in the second quarter before Washington (7-0) ran off three straight goals to take a 6-5 lead on a tally by senior attackman Bennett Cord (Gaithersburg, MD/Gaithersburg) with 5:32 remaining. McDaniel evened the score at 6-6 on a Zach Monzo goal with 3:13 left, but Cord scored again off an assist from sophomore attackman Stephen Luck (Catonsville, MD/Boys' Latin) 21 seconds later to give the Shoremen a 7-6 halftime advantage. Cord scored three times in the first half and Cusick scored four times in the half to account for all seven of the Shoremen's goals over the first 30 minutes.
Washington opened the third quarter on a 4-1 run to open up the biggest lead of the game at 11-7 on a goal by junior midfielder Kodie Englehart (Coronado, CA/Coronado) with 6:18 remaining in the period. The Green Terror answered by scoring three times in the span of 91 seconds, trimming the marring to 11-10 on a goal by Sean Brett off an assist from Pat Bivons with 2:13 left in the quarter.
Washington opened the fourth-quarter scoring 1:40 into the period as Cord found senior attackman Matt Lewis (Mt. Airy, MD/Glenelg Country School) for a goal. The Shoremen then increased their lead back to three goals at 13-10 on Cusick's fifth score of the day off a feed from Cord with 6:15 to play. Pat Woglom got the Green Terror back to within two with a goal off a Jason Lawrence assist with 5:34 left and William Clary cut the lead to 13-12 with a goal with 4:13 to go.
McDaniel had an opportunity to tie the score late, but Washington junior goalie Ted DiSalvo (Boca Raton, FL/Spanish River) made a point-blank save on Zach Monzo with 3:23 remaining. There was a flag down on the play, but the Shoremen managed to kill the entire 30-second McDaniel man advantage without the Green Terror taking a shot. Junior midfielder Hunter Nowicki (Baltimore, MD/Franklin) scored an insurance goal for the Shoremen off a ground ball following a save with 1:28 left to provide the final margin.
Cusick and Cord (three goals, three assists) were joined by Englehart (two goals) as multiple-goal scorers for the Shoremen. Nowicki and junior attackman JD Campbell (Baltimore, MD/Mount St. Joseph) each added one goal and two assists, while Lewis and sophomore midfielder Grant Hughes (Alexandria, VA/St. Stephen's & St. Agnes) had one goal and one assist each.
DiSalvo made a career-high 18 saves in goal for the Shoremen. Sophomore midfielder Michael Trapp (White Plains, NY/White Plains) went 16-for-25 on face-offs with 10 ground balls, while long-stick midfielder Jonny Poe (Coronado, CA/Coronado) tallied four caused turnovers and six ground balls.
Monzo led McDaniel with three goals and one assist, while Lawrence had two goals and two assists. Clary added three goals for the Green Terror, while Bivons netted a goal and an assist. Christian Dallmus made 22 saves between the pipes for the Green Terror.
Ninety-three shots were taken in the game as the Shoremen finished with 53 to the Green Terror's 40. Washington also held a 48-35 advantage in ground balls and won 19 of the game's 30 face-offs.
The Shoremen return to action Wednesday with a 5:00 p.m. Centennial Conference game at Haverford.

Sacramento, CA (SportsNetwork.com) - DeMarcus Cousins recorded his ninth straight double-double with 24 points and 14 rebounds to lead the Sacramento Kings to a 103-83 win over the Orlando Magic from Sleep Train Arena.
Rudy Gay also had a double-double with 22 points and 10 boards for Sacramento, which won back-to-back home games for the first time since March.
Derrick Williams and Jason Thompson each tallied 14 points, while Jimmer Fredette added 11 points off the bench.
"I thought our starting frontline was terrific tonight," said Kings coach Mike Malone. "I was very impressed with Derrick Williams."
Tobias Harris led Orlando with 16 points and Glen Davis deposited a 12-point, 12-rebound double-double in the Magic's sixth straight loss.
"The shots weren't falling, but at the same time we still have to defend and be able to hold down that floor," Harris said. "I'll give them the credit, they made a lot of tough shots and their offense was clicking and rolling."
A pair of free throws from Isaiah Thomas midway through the third quarter closed a 22-6 run and help the Kings to a 68-51 lead.
The 17-point advantage would be Sacramento's largest of the third quarter before Orlando scored the final five points of the frame to pull to 76-64 heading into the fourth.
Victor Oladipo trimmed the dificit to 10 with a jumper at 7:09 of the fourth when the Kings put the game away with a 12-0 run.
Williams scored six points during the spurt, including a thunderous two-handed windmill dunk to cap it and increase the cushion to 97-75 with 4:22 left.
Earlier, Gay capped an 8-0 run with a jumper with just under seven minutes left in the first quarter to give the Kings a 14-8 lead. The Magic, though, ended the quarter on 16-4 run for a 24-18 advantage heading to the second.
Jameer Nelson, Andrew Nicholson, and Oladipo all hit 3s in succession during the run before Arron Afflalo knocked down a jumper to close the scoring in the opening frame.
Sacramento grabbed the a 46-40 lead at the half.
Game Notes
The Kings haven't won back-to-back games at Sleep Train Arena since a three- game streak from March 13-21 ...Magic center Nik Vucevic was sent back to Orlando with a concussion and is expected to miss the final two games of the road-trip Saturday in Denver and Monday in Dallas ... Thomas scored nine points on just 2-of-13 shooting ... Sacramento shot 18-for-19 (94.7 percent) from the free-throw line ... The Kings outrebounded the Magic 54-37 along with outscoring their counterparts 48-24 in the paint ... Sacramento shot 51.3 percent from the floor and held Orlando to 33.3 percent shooting.

ISSAQUAH -- Hunters Place is celebrating the grand opening of two fully furnished model homes today and Sunday from noon to 5 p.m. Located near the Sammamish Plateau, the collection of 22 three- and four-bedroom homes has 10 remaining for sale.
"The community has been very popular with buyers. It seems like every time we finish a model home, we sell it," says John Thompson, the listing agent for the community.
Of the homes for sale, one is complete and ready for move-in, one is scheduled for completion next month and three others will be ready for move-in in the first quarter of next year. The remaining homes are being sold presale.
"If you act quickly, you can still customize your home -- even the home that will be ready in December has some customization opportunities still available," Thompson says.
The homes are built by CamWest, a Toll Brothers Company. Buyers can tailor the homes to fit their needs through the builder's CamYes! program, which offers customization options beyond the traditional color palettes and lighting packages.
"All of our homeowners at Hunters Place have made their homes their own through the program. A lot of other builders say no to the requests that buyers make, but not CamWest," Thompson says.
The two new model homes feature the Cougar and Fairmont floor plans. The Cougar plan has a great room and a formal living room on the main level, as well as an open loft space upstairs. The Fairmont design has both formal and informal living spaces, and also includes a guest suite on the main level that is adjacent to a three-quarter bath.
"The Fairmont design is the last of its kind in the neighborhood," Thompson says. "It's one of our most sought-after floor plans because of the main-floor bedroom. A lot of our homeowners have extended families who come to visit and want their own private space."
Interiors feature kitchens outfitted in stainless steel appliances, natural wood cabinetry with crown molding, and full-height backsplashes with decorative accents. Gas fireplaces are surrounded in slate, and five-piece master baths include soaking tubs and walk-in closets.
Hunters Place borders a protected native-growth area and features large heritage trees and two neighborhood parks: one with play equipment and the other with benches and picnic tables.
"With the adjacent greenbelt and parks, Hunters Place has a great neighborhood streetscape," Thompson says. "And we are in a cul-de-sac, so you don't have busy through traffic, which is a comforting feeling when you have kids out playing or you're out walking your dog."
The community is located within minutes of Interstate 90. Homeowners can walk to Klahanie Shopping Center, which includes a QFC, a Starbucks, restaurants, services and a gas station.
"This is a wonderfully connected address; you can be in downtown Bellevue in just 15 minutes and Lake Sammamish or Tiger Mountain in eight," says Thompson. "I really encourage everyone to stop by to check out the homes this weekend. With only 10 remaining, you shouldn't put it off."
Toll Brothers is among the nation's leading builders of luxury homes. Its recent purchase of CamWest Development, LLC -- which has been building homes locally for more than 20 years -- expands the company's reach to the Pacific Northwest. Founded in 1967, Toll Brothers is now building homes in 20 states.
Toll Brothers was rated No. 1 in 2011 and 2010 for Financial Soundness, Long-Term Investment and Quality of Products/Services in the homebuilding category of Fortune magazine's annual World's Most Admired Companies survey.

What's a midwestern country boy from Iowa doing in a Stanford Cardinal Original Retro Brand Shirt? The Hawkeyes football team are 6-0 for the first time since 1985, yet Tom Arnold is rockin' "The Tree"! The Cardinal are 4-2, and did have nice back to back wins over a ranked Washington Husky team & UCLA, but Tom got his comedy break as a stand-up at the University of Iowa – where is the love, Tom? Tom did star in the 2007 Indie film, Palo Alto, so he probably fell in love with the Stanford campus (located in Palo Alto, Ca.) which is an AMAZING campus.
Well Tom certainly is a country boy at heart after all. As host of the Country Music Television hit series, "My Big Redneck Wedding," Tom gets to sit down to a wedding feast of roast squirrel and turkey testicles (Yummmmmy), along with a rousing shotgun salute to the lovely bride and groom featured on one of the episodes. Maybe Tom thinks having a Big Red shirt on is appropriate since he is the host of "My Big Redneck Wedding"?
Arnold has starred in over 50 Hollywood films and TV series since breaking into the business in the mid 1980's. He is probably best known for his former marriage to comedienne Roseanne Barr (much to his chagrin). His biggest film break came when he co-starred with former actor, and current California governor, Arnold Schwarzenegger in the 1994 film True Lies. He was also an original host of the Best Damn Sports Show Period on Fox.

WATCH: Tomorrowland 2013 trailer - 'The Arising of Life'
The fairy tale continues as we are a mere two weeks away from one of the most unique festivals in the world: Tomorrowland. The festival has released a brand new trailer, introducing the 9th magical chapter, chosen from Tomorrowland library, "The Arising of Life."
The new trailer certainly captures the "fairy tale" theme well. Let's take a look at what's familiar here:
This flying contraption in the Tomorowland trailer may not exactly be a pirate ship, but it can still magically fly! Like the ship in "Peter Pan":
"Thumbelina" anyone?
E.T. might not be considered a fairy tale, but you can still make the connection (pun very intended).
And finally, this is very reminiscent of "Alice In Wonderland" ....
... especially because you end up here - Tomorrowland!
Tomorrowland will take place July 26, 27, & 28 at the Recreation Area De Schorre in Boom, Belgium. The lineup includes Tiesto, Sebastian Ingrosso, Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike, Afrojack, Carl Cox, Hardwell, Markus Schulz, Steve Aoki, and many more!
Let the fairy tale continue, and watch the full trailer below:

Listen to Afrojack on iHeartRadio | Listen to Snoop Dogg on iHeartRadio
Afrojack's debut album is set to be released this year, and the producer/DJ is sharing a small taste of what fans can expect from his Snoop Dogg collaboration.
Afrojack showcased a short clip of the tune, after he posted a video to his Instagram account along with the caption "Album Teaser #1 : @afrojack x @snoopdogg."
With Snoop's rap, the track has some trap stylings, and by listening to the lyrics it seems the song may possibly be called "Dynamite."

'"In my mind, that loss [in Game Seven] is still fresh," said Ales Kotalik, who scored his 11th goal of the season with a penalty shot in the third period after being pulled down on a breakaway by Erik Cole. "You can't forget being knocked out in Game Seven when you're leading 2-1 after two periods. You can see yourself in the Stanley Cup Finals and you will never be able to forget."'

Whatever the design, decoration, color, style or even pattern, LuLaRoe focuses on offering women staple accessories with a cool twist as opposed to typical overly trendy items we have become accustomed to. If you are looking for LuLaRoe in Pine Bluff AR, our next section will guide you easily through the process.
How LuLaRoe is Sold
LuLaRoe similar to related multi-level marketing ventures uses internet marketing as their main sale forum. It has put in place precise techniques to help the women make and boost their sales. The most noteworthy techniques include:
Constant product promotion:
Considering that LuLaRoe was established and sprouted via the internet, consultants are also expected to undertake their product marketing and subsequent promotion in a similar manner. The firm provides social media directions which you require to adhere to. The products are designed to suit ages between 16 and 34-which is analogous to the active crop of social media users. You can use either between Instagram, Facebook, Twitter and surprisingly even Snapchat. For Instance I will pick on a consultant that I have mentioned in another post and also bought multiple items from. Here is Robyn Vollenweider, who is a LuLaRoe consultant showing how to wear the famous LuLaRoe Irma. You can clearly see here her promoting the brand but also showing how to wear it which is a plus in my book for any consultant to not only sell you the clothes but also to show how to wear and style it.

Picture Posts:
As they say, a picture is worth a thousand words and for LuLaRoe; this is among their best slogans. One prominent marketing strategy used by LuLaRoe is encouraging all their consultants to adorn their products and post pictures of these accessories. This is among the finest and most efficient ways of luring customers.
Pop-Up Party Hosting:
In definition, Pop-Up parties are simple gatherings where consultants invite their friends to not only check out but try out some of the LuLaRoe items on sale. This has been among the best strategies for the firm. Moreover, there is a tram in place to offer guidance on how to host these parties and as such the workload is easier.
LuLaRoe's Compensation plan for consultants
The journey to financial independence through LuLaRoe begins with an exclusive initial inventory investment. To assume consultant status, LuLaRoe requires you, to begin with, several pieces from their brand (between 250 to 450 pieces) which roughly cost you an estimated $4,500 to $6,500. Moreover, after the investment, they offer you a starter business kit that contains all the relevant items you need to kick-start and run your business. Included in the kit is:
- Training booklet
- A Catalog
- Notebook planner (Spiral)
- Clothing hangers
- Fabric swatches
- Advertising Flyers
- Thank-you cards
- Sign-in sheets
- Additional promotional items
Finally, you are also mandated to pay all expenses that come with the shipping, handling and exclusive tax sales costs for your ordered items.
Payment structure:
There are several steps to follow prior to becoming a full consultant with the company and receiving your payment.
#1 Fill in an application: There is the provision of both paper and online application. The paper application needs scanning then emailing or faxing accompanied by an exclusive voided check.
#2 Complete their Onboarding Checklist: In this list, you select the items you prefer for your first batch of inventory items.
#3 Select a package choice.
One of the few examples of a package option is:
- Package 1: 336 pieces for $4,812
- Package 2: 365 pieces for $5,365
# 4 Payments arrive in varied levels:
- For a consultant to receive payment, a monthly 33 pieces minimum order must be attained
- For active sponsors to receive payments, a monthly 175 pieces minimum order must be attained
- For trainers to receive payment, a monthly 1750 pieces minimum order must e attained. "this, however, is not inclusive of the personal orders the trainer makes
A blend of both bad and good, LuLaRoe Company is continually forging its repute as a reliable way for women to make money. While the initial investments and the subsequent amount of work needed to kick-start and get the business rolling may discourage numerous consultants, the flexibility it offers to consultants together with the diversity of options to clients makes it a wonderful and reliable way for women to achieve financial independence.

Hunter Hayes to attempt record concert run for charity
Listen to Hunter Hayes on iHeartRadio
Hunter Hayes wants to set a new world record, and help kids in the process.

Hunter will unplug for a 2:00 a.m. show at The Stone Pony in Asbury Park, New Jersey, and finish the run with a 5:00 a.m. performance in Philadelphia. And he'll raise more money for the cause by auctioning off the guitars he plays at each show.
The record attempt also caps off Hayes' release week for his new album. The singer's sophomore studio effort, Storyline, will arrive in stores on May 6th. The album features Hunter's current single, "Invisible."

here we go again. I wonder what new "leaked/fake" photos will surface about the "iPhone 5" this time. Anxious for when it comes out, but from the last rumors before the 4S release was non-sense. I will believe it when i see it!
So what is the iPhone4,2?
Well this is why I didn't get the 4S lol... Come to daddy iPhone 5 woot!!
Of course the next iPhone will have either the "iPhone5,1", or "iPhone4,2" machine identifier. It probably won't be called "iPhone 5" though, "iPhone 4G" is a far more likely marketing name. But what about that "iPhone3,3"? To my knowledge, it never saw the light of day.
So far all Apple is doing in this update is trying to get the rumor mill going on their next devices? Usually X.1 updates have some over hyped feature to give Apple an excuse to make more commercials.

dos2unix seemed to do it, ty. But aircrack is still only reading about 1700 words out of over 3k, and still not finding the right passphrase.
EDIT: Attempted aircrack using test handshakes from aircrack itself, and from my own home network. Still not going through the entire default password.lst file when using my home networks handshake, and gives the incorrect passphrase using the example cap files.
In cowpatty however, it simply says that the correct passphrase isn't in the list (even though it is)
any ideas on this? Could it be the hardware I'm using? Again, this is a WPA2-CCMP network.
EDIT pt 2: tested on BT3 Final, it works perfectly. Maybe it's something with the USB adapter in BT4pf? Also having problems where airgraph-ng is only drawing out unencrypted networks, not encrypted, even though the csv file contains WPA and WEP networks as well. made a thread about it her --> hxxp://forums.remote-exploit.org/backtrack-4-working-hardware/25111-hawking-hwug1-usb.html

Related: Reactions to Greg Tomlinson's speech on Twitter
Wearing purple pants and a purple tie, a tanned, slick-haired man walked up to the podium at the Jerry Buss memorial Thursday and set off a social media flurry as everyone asked: Just who the heck is Greg Tomlinson?
"I think he was a party crasher," said Stan Morrison, former USC basketball coach and friend of Jerry Buss who attended Thursday's memorial at Nokia Theater. "My wife and I were nudging each other going, `Who is this guy?' because he certainly wasn't on the menu."
Morrison was right. According to the order of service in the memorial's printed glossy program, after CBS sportscaster Jim Hill and Jerry Buss' son Johnny, longtime friend Frank Mariani was slated to speak at the hour-long memorial for the beloved Lakers owner who died this week at age 80.
Instead, the audience got Tomlinson.
In Long Beach, JamesVilla pleaded via Twitter, "Someone. Please get this guy off the stage Greg Tomlinson this is awkward and horrible."
So who is Greg Tomlinson, and was he actually invited to speak?
Actually, he was a guest of Jim Buss - Jerry's son who is an executive with the team.
"He wanted something from a fan's perspective, and I thought it was a pretty genius idea on Jim's part," Tomlinson said of Jim Buss' request to have him speak. "It was pretty remarkable that Jim felt I could represent the voice of the fans. It was a big weight to bear."
Tomlinson, who also goes by GT, is the founder of an Orange County sunglasses company called VonZipper and was also an on-air announcer for the Winter X Games from 1996 through 2005.
He said he's known Jim Buss for about 20 years, having the pleasure to meet Jerry Buss "on enough occasions to know that he was a really neat guy."
So when Jerry Buss' death was announced on Monday, Tomlinson said he texted Jim Buss his condolences just as any good friend would.
He had no idea that in the next few days Jim Buss was going to call and request he speak during the special ceremony at Nokia Theater.
"I was like, `What?"' Tomlinson recalled. "I went from the guy who said if they needed to give up my seat to a dignitary or someone more important, to the guy who was going to make a speech about Jerry Buss."
While flattered, Tomlinson said his reaction was that people were going to go: "Who the f is this guy?"
"And I guess they did," Tomlinson said, laughing.
During the memorial, even during back-to-back speeches from Laker greats like former coaches Pat Riley and Phil Jackson to players like Kobe Bryant, Shaquille O'Neal and Magic Johnson, social media feeds buzzed.
ESPN writer Arash Markazi tweeted: "Smart money is on Greg `Who is that guy?' Tomlinson, who isn't in the program, finishing with the longest speech today."
Tomlinson's speech did run for about 8 minutes, during which he mused about The Lake Show and its successes under Jerry Buss.
"I am a fan first and I listen to a lot of sports talk radio, so I just started to reflect on all the experiences I had with the Lakers; the community, the rivalry, the smack talk, the bets," Tomlinson said of how he came up with his speech. "The speech was a heartfelt reflection of family and the impact Jerry had indirectly - originally - and then directly when I got to know him. I was just a fan who became friends with the family."
Even hours after his speech, Tomlinson was still the center of much commentary online and at L.A. Live where people called his eulogy a "trainwreck" and criticized Jim Buss for adding him to the roster.
Joe McDonnell, Fox Sports writer and radio host for KNX 1070, dubbed it the "weirdest moment of the Buss memorial."
"Greg Tomlinson - a friend of Jim Buss - spoke. Who? Why?"
Fortunately for Tomlinson, he was oblivious to the criticism - at least while talking to a Los Angeles News Group reporter just before entering the memorial's reception.
"It was a pretty big honor to get the call from the Buss family to be a representative of the fans. It was a task that I didn't take lightly," Tomlinson said. "I hope I did the fans service and, more importantly, I hope I did the Buss family service."

Weiner not yet running for mayor—but in 2nd place
(NEWSER) – Despite spending $100,000 on polling last month, Anthony Weiner still hasn't thrown his hat into the ring for New York's next mayoral election. But if he didtoday, he'd enter the race for the Democratic slot in second place, behind confirmed candidate Christine Quinn, a new poll by NBC New York and Marist College has found. Weiner had 15% of the vote among Democrats to Quinn's 26%, and his favorability rating increased from 34% to 45% over the last two months. The news comes on the back of a splashy New York Times Magazine feature, in which Weiner admitted, "I want to ask people to give me a second chance," but said his polling had established him as the underdog.

Why we didn't elect Meg governor
You don't realize how hard it is to type when you open your palm and insert your face.
Meg Whitman, who took the reins of Hewlett-Packard after being trounced in the 2010 California gubernatorial election that cost her and her campaign roughly $43 per vote, decided to bring back the HP consumer hardware, which was a good thing. I even ate some crow, with salt, yesterday in manning up to say something nice about Meg for making this decision.
Today I can thank her for something else: Thank you, Meg, for restoring my confidence in your incompetence.
Now Californians who voted against her — yours truly raises hand here — can be smug about not electing her to Sacramento for a typical Meg move.
An article today states that rather than include the already proven WebOS on the HP Touchpad tablet — which is what it came with until former HP CEO Leo Apotheker had what can best be described as the most profound brain fart in human history in dumping HP's consumer technology — Meg wants to run the tablet with, wait for it, Windows 8.
Don't take my word for it. The article by Tom Krazit is here, if you dare.

In short, this license allows others to download this work and share it with others as long as they credit me as the author, but others can't change it in any way or use it commercially.

Sometimes the best response is a shrug
This week there was a sort of back-and-forth starting with Brian Proffitt in one blog item about Richard Stallman's somewhat verbose Guardian article and a response by Bruce Byfield in a blog item about how he notices that lately people are picking on the Free Software Foundation. This kind of tete-a-tete is normally custom made for my participation, and last night I had thought about jumping in with both feet and an arm.
But you know what? Never mind. Just never mind. I had a whole blog item written last night. I went to bed. I woke up this morning and read my item. Then I deleted it. It's just another "fuel, meet fire" situation that, despite my standard-issue remarkable and compelling prose (ahem), would have just removed focus from more important issues and would have created ill feelings.
So I'm just going to shrug, say "Ho-kay," and write about something else.
Before I do, however, I will say that I do think Brian is right when he says that the Guardian article is another FSF broadside against open source, and that I don't agree with Bruce's arguments that the FSF is being picked on. Let's look more importantly at the latter: The FSF does a lot of great things on behalf of software freedom, and does so with remarkably few resources. For this we are truly thankful. On the other hand, the FSF tragically has made an exact science of cultivating a "my way or highway" attitude (bring up dissenting viewpoints, as I have, and see how far you go), which makes its prevalent dogmatic stance a formula for organizational rigor mortis. For this reason alone (though there are others I won't go into here), the FSF hand-delivers invitations for criticism — some of it deserved, some not — rather than than being victims of attacks for whatever reason externally. For all the great things he has done, Richard Stallman is largely responsible for this culture of dogma and rigidity, and when some — not me, but others — equate the FSF to being the FOSS equivalent of the Taliban, I'd like to argue against that comparison but, honestly, I really can't.
But never mind.
Let's go from one train wreck to another, shall we?
One of the items that is high on the tech radar today is the fact that Hewlett-Packard is about to push Leo Apotheker off the top of the building (the sentiments of some board members, it's safe to say) and replace him with — I kid you not — Meg Whitman.
Meg Whitman. I would have prefered Slim Whitman — link to Wikipedia provided so the kids here don't have to Google him. So while you read who he is, get off of my lawn.
This Whitman-for-Apotheker swap has been described as a "hangover solution" in one ZDNet blog item, a sort of "hair of the dog" after an all-night bender where the first question is, "I did . . . WHAT?!" And the best decisions are usually not made when you're hung over. Hence we have Meg Whitman waiting in the wings when, according to people at HP, they have a very capable CEO choice in house with Ann Livermore.
While it would probably be best for HP to keep someone in house at the helm — that's one vote for you, Ann, over Meg — whomever takes over hopefully will say, with one of their first utterances in charge, "Remember what we said about dumping our hardware and WebOS? We take that back."
That would be nice, but on the whole that, too, probably deserves another shrug.

PhotophobiaLight sensitivity; Vision - light sensitive; Eyes - sensitivity to light
Photophobia is eye discomfort in bright light.
Photophobia is a fairly common symptom. For many people, photophobia is not due to any disease. Severe photophobia may occur with eye problems and can cause severe eye pain even in relatively low light.
- Acute iritis or uveitis (inflammation inside eye)
- Burns to the eye
- Corneal abrasion
- Corneal ulcer
- Drugs such as amphetamines, atropine, cocaine, cyclopentolate, idoxuridine, phenylephrine, scopolamine, trifluridine, tropicamide, and vidarabine
- Excessive wearing of contact lenses, or wearing badly fitted contact lenses
- Eye disease, injury, or infection (such as chalazion, episcleritis, glaucoma)
- Eye testing when the eyes have been dilated
- Meningitis
- Migraine headache
Home Care
You can reduce the discomfort of light sensitivity by:
- Avoiding sunlight
- Closing your eyes
- Wearing dark glasses
- Darkening the room
If eye pain is severe, see your health care provider to determine the cause of light sensitivity. Proper treatment may cure the problem. Seek urgent medical attention if your pain is moderate to severe, even in low-light conditions.
When to Contact a Medical Professional
Call your doctor if light sensitivity is severe or painful -- for example, if you need to wear sunglasses indoors.
Also call if the sensitivity occurs with headaches, red eye or blurred vision or does not go away in a day or two.
What to Expect at Your Office Visit
The doctor will perform a physical examination, including an eye exam. You may be asked the following questions:
- When did the light sensitivity begin?
- Does it hurt all the time or just sometimes?
- How bad is it?
- Do you need to wear dark glasses or stay in dark rooms?
- Did a doctor recently dilate your pupils?
- Have you used any eye drops?
- Do you use contact lenses?
- Have you used soaps, lotions, cosmetics, or other chemicals around your eyes?
- Have you been around dust, wind, sun, pollen, or chemicals?
- Does anything make the sensitivity better or worse?
- Have you been injured?
- What medicines do you take?
- What other symptoms do you have?
Tell your doctor if you have any of these symptoms:
- Pain in the eye
- Headache
- Nausea
- Neck stiffness
- Blurred vision
- Sore or wound in eye
- Redness
- Itching

How many baby carriers do you own?!
Hello fellow babywearing mums (and dads!),
I was just wondering how many baby carriers/ slings everyone owns? I have 3 (a Kari Me, Mei Tei and a Ring Sling), and I did once own a standard Tippitoes carrier but this wasn't comfortable for me or my baby. Even with 3 baby carriers I still find myself having 'sling envy' and eyeing up new slings to buy on the internet! Is it just me, or do others out there enjoy using a range of carriers?

I definitely enjoyed using a range of baby carriers when my children were little.
I had a front pack, a back pack and a sling. I found there were times when each came in handy.

Yes different slings definitely have their different advantages. For example, my ring sling is best for quickly getting my son in and out but the Mei Tei is best for wearing on longer walks as it seems to be the best I have tried at distributing his weight evenly.

Good information!

I'm Catholic and 100% for using NFP when you have a reason to put off having another baby.
But it seems like for the last few years, I've just been hearing SO (significant other) much about getting tubes tied after 1 or 2 kids, or making hubby get a vasectomy. Even from Catholics! It just seems really sad to me.... why the sudden drive for this??

'Jillson did well in his Sabres debut, logging 20:04 of ice time to lead all Buffalo defensemen, after sitting out all except three of his last 18 games with the Bruins. "It was a lot of fun because I hadn't played that much in a while," he said. "It was just good to get out there and play, not worry about anything else, and have some fun."'
Jillson's first impression of Sabres is good

Is Selena Gomez Justin Bieber's phone screen saver?
Listen to Justin Bieber on iHeartRadio | Listen to Selena Gomez on iHeartRadio
(TMZ) - Justin Bieber is not over Selena Gomez - in fact, she's still very much in the palm of his hand.
TMZ was looking closely at pics of Justin, and managed to come across one of Justin leaving a museum in Amsterdam, and his sorta ex-GF was along for the ride - as the screensaver on his iPhone!
Justin's background image of choice is clearly a pic of Selena. The sultry pic is from a March 4 photo shoot, TMZ has learned.
Only question is, did she send it to him, or was he keeping tabs on her?
As TMZ reported yesterday, she flew into Oslo, Norway, to hook up with her on-again, off-again BF.
Now it's clear, their continuing obsession is DEFINITELY mutual.

By Jim Davis Herald Writer
MARYSVILLE — A mural was unveiled over the weekend honoring Rudy Wright, a volunteer firefighter who died while on duty Nov. 3, 1970.
Wright, who owned Rudy's Recreation in downtown Marysville, was killed when a wrong-way driver crashed into an accident scene on northbound I-5. A tanker truck had overturned at the site.
Years later, the Little League baseball field at the 1000 block of Cedar Avenue was named after him — the Rudy Wright Memorial Field.
Retired Marysville Fire District Fire Marshal Jerry Jacobsen was 18 at the time of the crash.
Over the years, Jacobsen realized that fewer and fewer people knew about the story.
"Time has gone by," Jacobsen said.
"It was great the city named the park after him, but we forgot that we have so many new people in town and many of them don't know who Rudy Wright was," he said.
The 7-by-12 foot mural, on the back of the third base bleachers, shows Wright in his firefighter gear handing a baseball to a young player during a tour of the fire station.
A plaque was installed telling the history of what happened.
On Saturday, Wright's daughter, Patty Pendleton, was one of dozens of people who attended the unveiling of the mural.
Pendleton gave the order to drop the cover of the mural.
A committee made up of of Jacobsen, Kay Smith, Joyce Savage, Greg Corn, Stephanie Price, Jim Shipman, Jeff Bilow, Coby Hamblin and Jim Ballew worked with Granite Falls artist Gene Waggoner to create the mural.
It was funded by the Marysville Fire Foundation, Marysville Firefighters Association and International Association of Firefighters Local No. 3219.
Mike Mulligan Construction installed the mural.

Strategic acquisition to greatly enhance Crypton's offerings.
BLOOMFIELD HILLS, MI—Randy Rubin, chairman of The Crypton Companies, has announced that Crypton Inc. has acquired Nano‐Tex®.
The privately held, 20‐year‐old Crypton Fabrics, based in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan, recently purchased Nano‐Tex from private equity and venture capital investors: WL Ross and Co. LLC as major stockholders, in addition to Norwest Venture Partners, Masters Capital Nanotechnology Fund, Firelake Capital Management and Masters Capital Management.
Nano‐Tex is a textile technology company whose performance finishes have enhanced leading consumer brands such as Gap, Target, Maidenform, Bass Pro Shops, Nordstrom, Land's End, Fisher‐Price and many more.
Nano‐Tex employs a proprietary nanotechnology approach to enhance textiles at the molecular level that provides permanent performance attributes such as stain and water resistance, moisture wicking, odor control, static elimination and wrinkle free properties. The end result is performance fabrics that maintain the original comfort, look and feel of the fabric and perform for the life of the product.
In 2013, Nano‐Tex technologies were on $280 million in branded finished products at retail worldwide.
Wilbur Ross, Jr., Chairman of WL Ross said, "We are extremely pleased by Crypton's acquisition. This assures that Nano‐Tex will continue on a strong growth trajectory. Its expanding market reach and prominence will further enhance the competitiveness of WL Ross's companies in the consumer and industrial fabrics industries, too; the goal that sparked our initial investment interest in Nano‐Tex eight years ago."
"This is a strategic acquisition as we extend our market share with apparel throughout the world. The intellectual properties and latest development, Aquapel®, a non‐fluorinated repellency treatment, is very exciting to our research team," said Rubin.
When Crypton entered the contract market in 1993, it provided an alternative to vinyl, which had been the go‐to product for heavily used upholstered furniture. In revolutionizing performance textiles, Crypton opened the doors for new design opportunities to an entire industry.
A master branding company, Crypton has enjoyed an unparalleled branding trajectory in the interior design community, achieving more than 90 percent brand awareness of their products in the first seven years of business. Today, they are known for their strategic and innovative new product developments, branding techniques and strategies.
"The pairing of two great performance textile brain trusts will only be enhanced by the shared technology of the two companies," added Rubin.
"We will each bring new resources to this union, which will only strengthen us both in the retail and contract marketplace," she added.
Nano‐Tex will now be headquartered at The Crypton Companies in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan but will maintain sales operations in the U.S., Asia, India and Europe. In addition, the company will keep distribution centers in Hong Kong, Belgium, Mainland China, and the U.S. The technical transfer capabilities, provided from China and India, will be on‐going ensuring the continuity and expansion of the company's global footprint.

Winning Waterfall Names Announced by Cloudland Canyon State Park
Cherokee Falls & Hemlock Falls
TRENTON, GA, May 3, 2011 — After Cloudland Canyon State Park announced its "Name the Waterfalls" contest in February, more than 800 park fans submitted suggestions for the two cascades. Names ranged from long-forgotten Cherokee words to those honoring loved ones. Picking just two was difficult, with park officials choosing names that described the waterfalls' scenery and reflected on their Native American past. Waterfall #1 will now be called Cherokee Falls and Waterfall #2 will be named Hemlock Falls.
Cherokee Falls was submitted by three visitors: Caroline Gregor of Rising Fawn, Ga., Gilbert Moore of Rising Fawn, Ga. and Libby Harpring of Indianapolis, Ind. The winning Hemlock Falls name was submitted by Joe Gottfried of Fayetteville, Ga. All four win a stay in the park's campground or cottages, an annual disc golf pass, Canyon Grill gift certificates and the right to brag to friends that they named two of Georgia's beautiful waterfalls.
The park decided to run the contest because their two popular waterfalls have never had formal names.
Officials have always called them simply "waterfall #1" and "waterfall #2." The rangers decided they needed help in christening the waterfalls with names that are as pretty as the falls themselves. Among the more frequent suggestions were Tranquility Falls, Serenity Falls and Majestic Falls. More unique suggestions were Whole Hog Falls, Razzle Dazzle Falls and Wondrous Beauty Waterfall.
Located on the western edge of Lookout Mountain, Cloudland Canyon is one of the most scenic state parks in Georgia, offering rugged geology and beautiful vistas. The park straddles a deep gorge cut into the mountain by Sitton's Gulch Creek, and elevation differs from 800 to 1,980 feet. The most spectacular view into the canyon is found near the picnic area parking lot; however, hikers who explore the bottom can see the waterfalls. Cottages and campsites are available for overnight guests.
To learn more, visit GeorgiaStateParks.org/CloudlandCanyon or call 706-657-4050.

There is plenty of room for improvement in the Steelers' backfield, and the hope is some of that improvement comes by way of second-round rookie running back Le'Veon Bell this year. Offensive coordinator Todd Haley recently said that Bell will contribute right away.
"Obviously, there's a lot of work ahead of him," Haley said of Bell. "He's a young guy, but he's coming from a pro-style offense. A lot of the runs will be very similar to the runs that he was running. So I expect him to get into the mix and be a factor."
Fantasy Analysis:
How much of a factor depends on how Bell looks in camp compared to veterans Isaac Redman and Jonathan Dwyer ; that's not an extremely high bar. Bell was a workhorse at Michigan State. He grinds out yards and moves piles. I think he has a lot of similarities with Dwyer as a runner, but Bell is a much better receiver, which is critical given that Haley loves to throw the ball. He has a chance to start Week 1.

Hello everyone. I am just starting to understand the vast world network penetration testing. I hope I will learn everything that I need to and also give back to the forum in due time.
Just a quick 'Hello' from a newbie. Have lots of reading to do, so won't say to much.....yet.
Hello everyone. I am just starting to understand the vast world network penetration testing. I hope I will learn everything that I need to and also give back to the forum in due time.
Hello =)
I hope I#ll learn a lot and finaly start up with backtrack =)
Hey, all. I am very new pen testing, but it is something I am really interested in learning as much about as I can. Just wanted to drop by and say Hi!
Hello everyone. I am glad to be join with you all.
Hi everybody, I glad to be a part of this forum. I'm a new user of backtrack and i hope to learn many things here.
HI well I'm just going to say it as it is. I'm glad to see, I finally found a hacking forum that is against the illegal use of Hacking software for illegal uses. I Have always wanted to be a security tester and what with having Aspergers Syndrome and Dyscalculia, as well as a bunch of other learning difficulties, my maths just does not cut it for uni. So I figure the best thing to do is to Email websites and offer to test the security of there site for them then tell them were they can improve for free. some times they pay me some times they don't, and sometimes they say no thanks and that's the end of it. but having just got my hands on a copy of Back Track 5 I would like to try reverse Engineering Windows 7 on my computer that's got to get me some ware with a bettor understanding of programing and hacking, I would also like to know exactly how each application on backtrack5 works.
Thank-you for your time.
P.S. I Wish to remain anonymous.
Hey Guys
I'm a beginner and hope to find help here =)
Hi, I'm new in this forum and I don't speak english very well so sorry for the mistakes. I see that you have write a new post but I don't understand how. I don't found any bottom for write a new post.
Sorry for the inconvenience.
Hi Everyone,
I've been in networking for quite some time and have always been interested in the security side. Hoping to learn quite a bit on pen testing and using BackTrack 5! Time to jump in, start reading, and building up my skills. Just curious, but is there some suggested public legal hacking challenges that I could use BackTrack on?

Atheroembolic renal diseaseRenal disease - atheroembolic; Cholesterol embolization syndrome; Atheroemboli - renal; Atherosclerotic disease - renal
Atheroembolic renal disease (AERD) occurs when small particles made of hardened cholesterol and fat spread to the small blood vessels of the kidneys.
AERD is linked to atherosclerosis. Atherosclerosis is a common disorder of the arteries. It occurs when fat, cholesterol, and other substances build up in the walls of arteries and form a hard substance called plaque.
In AERD, cholesterol crystals break off from the plaque lining the arteries. These crystals move into the bloodstream. Once in circulation, the crystals get stuck in tiny blood vessels called arterioles. There, they reduce blood flow to tissues and cause swelling (inflammation) and tissue damage that can harm the kidneys or other parts of the body
The kidneys are involved about half of the time. Other body parts that may be involved include the skin, eyes, muscles and bones, brain and nerves, and organs in the abdomen. Acute kidney failure is possible if the blockages of the kidney blood vessels are severe.
Atherosclerosis of the aorta is the most common cause of AERD. The cholesterol crystals may also break off during aortic angiography, cardiac catheterization or surgery of the aorta or other major arteries.
In some cases, AERD may occur without a known cause.
The risk factors for AERD are the same as risk factors for atherosclerosis, including age, male gender, cigarette smoking, high blood pressure, and diabetes.
AERD may not cause any symptoms. If there are symptoms, they may begin suddenly, or slowly get worse over weeks or even months. Symptoms may include:
- Blindness
- Blood in the urine (rare)
- Fever, muscle aches, headaches, and weight loss
- Flank (sides of the body) pain
- Foot pain, sores on the feet, or blue toes
- High blood pressure that is hard to control
- Pain in the abdomen, nausea, or vomiting
Kidney failure may result in:
- Decrease in sensation (feeling)
- Decreased or no urine output
- Drowsiness, confusion, lethargy
- Dry itchy skin
- Loss of appetite
- Nausea or vomiting
- Skin color changes
- Swelling of the legs
- Weight loss
Exams and Tests
The doctor will perform a physical exam. Swelling can start in the legs, but may affect the whole body. An eye exam may show particles in the small arteries of the retina.
The doctor will listen to your lungs, heart, and large blood vessels with a stethoscope. Abnormal sounds may be heard. For example, a loud whooshing sound called a bruit may be heard over the aorta or renal artery.
Blood pressure may be high. There may be many ulcers on the skin of the lower feet.
Tests that may be done include:
- Abdominal CT scan
- Abdominal MRI
- Abdominal x-ray
- Complete blood count
- Comprehensive metabolic panel (includes the kidney function tests BUN and creatinine)
- Kidney biopsy
- Kidney or abdominal ultrasound
- Renal arteriography
- Serum complement
- Serum lipids
- Urinalysis
There is no treatment for atheroembolic kidney disease that works well. Treatment is focused on managing the complications of organ damage.
Medicines may be used to treat high blood pressure and lower lipid and cholesterol levels.
- Your doctor may tell you to reduce fats and cholesterol in your diet.
- You may need other treatments for kidney failure or complications. If you have kidney failure, you may need to limit protein, salt, and fluids, or make other dietary changes.
Your doctor may also recommend other lifestyle changes, such as increased exercise or weight loss. Stopping smoking is very important.
Outlook (Prognosis)
The outcome varies but is generally poor. The disorder slowly gets worse over time. Lifestyle changes may help slow progression of the disease.
Possible Complications
- Acute renal failure
- Blood clots to other location of the body -- brain, intestine, legs
- Chronic renal failure
- High blood pressure
When to Contact a Medical Professional
Call your doctor if you have:
- A decrease in urine output or no urine production
- Blood in the urine
- Severe abdominal pain or leg pain
- Toes that turn purple and occur with foot pain
- Unexplained ulcers on your legs or feet
You can change the factors that increase your risk of getting this disease:
- Lose weight if you are obese.
- Decrease or stop smoking.
- Follow your doctor's recommendations to control diabetes or high blood pressure.
- Reduce fats, especially saturated fats, in your diet to help to reduce blood lipid levels.

Jennifer Hudson's 'AI' performance prompts angry tweets from Natalie Cole
Listen to Jennifer Hudson on iHeartRadio | Listen to Natalie Cole on iHeartRadio
(Yahoo!) - Natalie Cole has every right to be upset with Thursday's finale episode of "American Idol."
During the broadcast, Jennifer Hudson performed Cole's staple hit "Inseparable" with Season 12 winner Candice Glover.
Cole, who won the 1975 best new artist of the year Grammy award, complained via Twitter at 8:30 p.m. PT Thursday. "Make no mistake. 'Inseparable' was NOT originally recorded by @IAMJHUD but by ME," she wrote.
Cole slammed the singing competition for the decision. "@AmericanIdol ought to be ashamed of themselves!Im seriously offended! # #Idol #idolfinale," Cole wrote in a Tweet that she has since deleted.

@americanidol ought to be ashamed of themselves!Im seriously offended! # #Idol #idolfinale— Natalie Cole (@NatMCole) May 17, 2013
"Inseparable," the title track of Cole's 1975 gold-certified debut, reached No. 1 on Billboard's Hot Soul Singles chart.

If you ask, you shall receive.
And in Liz Carmouche's world, if you pester and tweet every day, you shall receive an opportunity to make sports history.
After months and months of cajoling and angling to be the next opponent for Ronda Rousey, Carmouche finally got her wish. On Saturday, she will challenge the bantamweight champion in the first women's fight in UFC history as the main event at UFC 157 at the Honda Center in Anaheim. | Inside MMA blog
"We started this Twitter campaign and we thought, 'If we ask, all we can be told is no,'" Carmouche said Monday during a news conference at Morton's in Burbank. "And we'd heard (UFC president) Dana White say before that for his fighters, if they ask for it, he'll give it to them. They just have to go out there and do their best. And we thought wait ... you know, if we don't try and ask for it, there's no possibility of us getting it."
But here she is, just days away from stepping into the Octagon. And if you think Carmouche (7-2) is regretting her eagerness to battle a submission specialist who has finished all her opponents in the first round, think again.
Carmouche is no stranger to struggles. She is a former U.S. Marine sergeant and helicopter electrician who did three tours of duty in the Middle East. Nothing can compare with the physical challenges she endured in the Corps.
"I'll never experience the hardships that I experienced while going to Iraq and being in combat," Carmouche said. "And that kind of prepared me for life in itself because I knew that if I was able to overcome the military and do three tours and come out alive and stronger for it, then there's nothing in life that's ever going to challenge me and be able to break me."
The challenge, however, might be that: to not have Rousey break her. Or, more specifically, her arm.
In Rousey's six pro fights, only one has lasted more than a minute - when Rousey won the Strikeforce 135-pound belt from Miesha Tate in 4 minutes, 27 seconds after torquing the arm at such a grotesque angle that Tate, who stubbornly fought against tapping out, suffered a serious elbow injury.
"I'm training for my fight. If I only trained for Ronda's fight, whether I realize it or not, I'm giving her her fight and I'm just working on the defensive and that's not my game," Carmouche said. "I'm working on implementing what I do, concentrating on everything that I've always done, instead of just becoming that person that only does armbar defense."
Last year, Carmouche shook off a two-fight losing streak in Strikeforce and finished off Ashleigh Curry (TKO) and Kaitlin Young (rear-naked choke) while fighting for Invicta Fighting Championships.
Rousey is quick to point out that one of those losses came after Carmouche, upon accepting the fight on less than two weeks' notice, had pummeled Strikeforce champion Marloes Coenen for a good two rounds before slipping up and getting caught in a triangle choke in the fourth round.
While some MMA fans are seeing this bout as a chance for the UFC to highlight Rousey against an easy opponent - oddsmakers have Carmouche as a 12-1 underdog - Rousey doesn't see it that way.
"She is the one I feel like is probably the most dangerous right now. She's already ... gone championship rounds before. She's just a tough chick and very unpredictable," Rousey said. "You never know what's gonna come at you with Liz Carmouche. You never know whether she's gonna run at you with a flying knee or spinning back elbow or some crazy upkick. She's unpredictable and she's dangerous."
Carmouche is amused by her uncertain style because she knows it's true and at times beyond her control. She refers to it as her body being on auto-drive and doing its own thing.
But she knows it's also a good reason why UFC fans should be paying attention Saturday.
"For no other reason than I do pull out crazy things and I do tend to surprise even myself. And because it's history in the making," she said. "And never again will MMA fans be able to say they were part of history and they saw history if they don't tune in this Saturday."
In addition to being in the first women's fight in the UFC, Carmouche will be setting another precedent: She will be the first openly gay fighter to compete in the Octagon.
And while she understands the importance of all the firsts she'll be a part of Saturday, Carmouche says they all hold equal bearing.
"Maybe if I was just thinking about the fight and the entirety and the history, maybe that would be overwhelming for me, but it's really not," she said. "I think once I do the fight and I participate and it's over and done with, then it will finally hit me and I'll really see which had the most weight-bearing experience. But for right now, everything is equal."
Try telling that to the skeptics who believe Rousey and Carmouche aren't worthy of headlining Saturday over light heavyweight warriors Dan Henderson and Lyoto Machida - let alone whether they even belong in the cage.
Carmouche, however, is confident the non-believers will be won over.
"They can expect that everything that anybody's ever doubted about women's MMA will be put to rest," she said. "They can expect that there are two highly skilled great women who are going to go out there and put on the best show possible to really win over the night."
After all, ask for a great fight and you shall receive.
