Vermonters are celebrating Martin Luther King day in many ways and in many towns and villages across the Green Mountain state. Here are a few of the many events you might be interested in.
- The Making of A Peacemaker is sponsored by the Brattleboro Area Interfaith Clergy Association takes place tonight at the Centre Congregational Church on Main Street. A spagetti dinner at 6 will be followed by a celebration 7-8 pm with local choruses.
- In Burlington the University of Vermont UVM is hosting an MLK birthday party, a civil rights film series, a speech by Julian Bond a special tribute to Nelson Mandela and many other events centered around the issues near and dear to Martin Luther King.
- Yesterday Burlingtonians were treated to a speech by Sharon Robinson, the daughter of baseball great Jackie Robinson at the Unitarian Church. Sharon shared memories of her father at a tribute to Martin Luther King Jr. and Nelson Mandela. She said while much has been written about her father's career with the Brooklyn Dodgers, he should be remembered for his ongoing fight for equal rights both in the baseball world and the world outside.
Did you know that Vermonters penned the first constitution in America prohibiting slavery? The year was 1777, just one year after the American Revolution, and the place was a roadside tavern in Windsor. Preserved for visitors today, it is the Old Constitution House State Historic Site. While a large part of Vermont's role in our culture is widely known, it is the Green Mountain State's place in African American history that is not as familiar to many.
Catherine Brooks of Vermont Tourism, Curtiss Reed of the Vermont Partnership for Fairness and Diversity and Jane Beck, former director of the Vermont Folklife Center in Middlebury are trying to change that with the African American Heritage Trail. The Heritage Trail comprises 11 sites including nine museums with exhibits featuring video, audio, and guided, or self-guided tours. It celebrates the accomplishments of Vermont's early African-American residents and historic places that chronicle eras, people, and events significant to the journey of all African-Americans.

Analysis: State Losing High-Tech Jobs
MEDINA, Ohio
An analysis of state job data has concluded that Ohio is losing high-tech jobs, as many high-pay industries are shedding workers rather than increasing jobs.
The Medina Gazette http://bit.ly/WAnkB3) says its analysis of data compiled by the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services shows that employment has declined in 24 of 30 industries categorized by the state as both high technology and high wage.
The net loss over the decade totaled about 120,000 jobs. That's nearly a quarter of the approximately half-million employed in those industries in 2000.
Some experts say slower job growth and higher unemployment have become the norm and many of the lost jobs will never return. But others say there will be new jobs taking their place.

Where: mumble
What: See Below
Who: Anyone & everyone
1. Updates on previous meeting
1.1 Logo
We're getting close. This just serves as a reminder to go check the forum post. I would like a decision within the week...
1.2 The Website
"Submit an Event" setup. Any suggestions on how we publicise the outfit calendar are welcomed
1.3 Training sessions
The ball is finally rolling. Most of this is being discussed in a meeting tonight (Tuesday). This serves as a reminder to keep pushing for this and a thank you for those organising it.
1.4 Outfit guide
Has started. Go to the thread to get involved.
1.5. Channel size / splitting comms
Refer to section on TACGIR

This section will serve to introduce TACGIR and its leaders, answer any questions about it and setup a basic framework on how it will work (channels, how to join, how to start a TACGIR session etc.)
3. The Vanu Accord
There is consistent grumblings about TVA. What can we do that esnures we get the most out of TVA?
2nd Regular "Outfit Chat" on
Wednesday 3rd April at 8pm UTC / 9pm BST
Where: Mumble
What: See below
Who: Anyone & everyone
(Really. This doesn't work if it's a tiny group of us.)
1. Updates on previous meeting's agenda
1.1 The logo
YouTube website and www.rockplanetshotgun.com need discussing.
Primarily: We need to decide upon a logo. A lot of ideas have been thrown out and played about with. I will brieflymention this and point people towads the thread.
1.2 PUG platoons. Have worked well. We will now be running them as "The Vanu Accord" public platoons (see why below). We need: Some basic guidelines. We will write these out during the meeting.
1.3 Comm systems
We did not get a chance to trial the two different systems suggested due to the "call to arms" night. Let's organise it so that we properly trial them in the two weeks after this meeting.
1.4 The website
Very rough draft out now at www.rockplanetshotgun.com. Aside from logo as above, what do we want here? What pages do we need, what edits do we need of what is there?
2. New items
2.1. Feedback from TVA chat with Stanis & UBAD people
I will report back from a pretty intensive chat with UBAD folks and Stanis a couple of weeks ago. A few things came out of this.
1) The liason role we have running is really, really appreciated by the others. They will try to get other people doing something similar, but the small size of the outfits makes the chances of them having people willing is low.
2) The liason role when extends to the whole empire (i.e: not just RPS and other outfits, but organising information exchange across multiple squads) is very similar to the 'general' role a few CR5s took on in PS1. It involves using command chat and in game tells and orders to direct the zerg, suggest movements to other platoons, share information across the empire. I've done it a few time, as have others. It is basically the keystone to an empire working together. We have people here willing to do this, we should both push it and start sharing what we know about taking this role on.
3) All TVA members will be being contacted to try and get them to more regularly use command chat and coordinate. Our efforts here are, again, very appreciated. We should discuss how we make an effort working more closely with outfits like MDk and IVRI we have worked with before.
4) Public platoons are to be run as "The Vanu Alliance - Public Platoon" or somethig similar. This allows us to draw in SLs from across outfits, provides a "holding space" for members of small outfits with few people on and gets the TVA name out there.
2.2 Training sessions
Came up last time, but nothing's happened.
We need this. Out average skill level on the field is, in all honesty, not that great. I am comfortable with this. We don't filter by ability and we don't (and we never should) expect people to be amazing at the game.
What we need training on are things like basic FPS combat. PS2 has a very specific FPS 'feel' that does not sit comfortably with me. I am, in all honestly, really very shit at the "shooting stuff with lasers" bit of the game. Anyone who feels they are good at this aspect of the game please, please step forward and put together a small tutorial / training session.
We could also do with training / practice on things like coordinated gal drops, movement as an armour group that does not end up with us piling over one another, maybe some scythe stuff.
I envisage these sessions as 1-2 hour affairs. Maybe that take place in part in the VR area. I don't think it helps us to decide upon a given night for these to happen as those who are willing / capable to train should be able to say when is best for them. But this can be discussed. Ideally the outcome of this point of discussion are a number of dates / times of training sessions in the coming weeks that can be advertsied to the outfit.
(The above sections 1 & 2should be done fast. No more than 20 mins if possible. There's big stuff to chat about)
3. The Big Stuff
3.1 An Outft "Manifesto"
We need to decide:
1) Who we are here for
2) What we exist for
3) An outfit "style"
To my mind this is best written up as a (short) manifesto. We can hash one out as a group.
3.2 Outfit Guidelines
1) Communications (RIDE and others have written much about this. I will pull out example guidelines and we will finalise them and host them on www.rockpapershotgun.com and discuss how best to make sure we stick to them by encuraging people to act a certain way rather than regimenting it.)
2) Player behaviour (and what to do if people are not excellent). Wibb and Eso get the kudos here. Let's have a short chat about their work.
3.3 Channel size
Shall we just nominate a size? Of is there something better we can do?
If we have time, and if not covered in the feedback I will provide.
1st regular "Outfit Chat" on Saturday 02/03/2012 at 7pm GMT.
Where: Mumble
What: See below
Who: Anyone & everyone
(Really. This doesn't work if it's a tiny group of us.)
(Why Saturday: it's to avoid drawing a specific 'crowd' related to the usual outfit nights but also to assure a good number of people are available.)
There is a fuckload of discussion on these forums about the outfit. This is good.
However I have always preferred chatting about things if decisions need to be made. Preferably face-to-face, but that's not gonna happen, so Mumble it is.
The outfit has grown in a largely unstructured way. This is excellent. It means there's not one person or even a small group of people defining and determining how the outfit 'feels'. But we are also fucking huge. Bigger than I realised. Which means we do need more in the way of basic guidelines / rules so that there is some consistency from one night to the next.
So. Agenda. Please add suggestions below. try to avoid actually discussing these below because, well, that's what's the meeting for. Feel free to keep discussing these things on the relevant threads though. These meetings aren't supposed to replace the forums but rather replace the current system when every now and then I put up a post that announces "how things are to be" and intervene in discussions with something a bit more organic.
Agenda for first meeting (to be updated with suggestions)
1. Communications & orgsanisation (over Mumble)
- Friends of the outfit channel. What does this need to be? (Is the current setup where it's users & leader do?)
- Leadership comms. What should the 'basic setup' be for this. We need something (fairly simple client-side) that every SL & PL can setup and use which can then be added to if they wish in a way that neither undermines the basic setup no requires SLs and PLs to fiddle about. What should this basic setup be? (I have some ideas that involve Mumjble's arcane ACL magic which I will suggest and try out as well)
- Large, busy, casual nights. Does the 'overflow' to Special Giraffes work, or do we need some guidelines on this? How do we avoid undermining both the leadership of those in PL positions on busy nights and the desire many have to have large chatty channels but also get something that those who hate those same busy channels can use. Special giraffes was intended to solve this. I'm not sure it is. Can we arrange comms in such a way that this happens more naturally?
- Leadership in large channels. What can be done to improve QoL for leaders of those huge nights? There was, of course, "that night" a few weeks ago that come to mind. But, in general, leadership of huge platoons is difficult anyway, let alone from the point of view of those recieving orders. What can we change with Mumble & what guidelines do we need (if any) about leadership on these nights?
2. PUG platoons run by RPS
- Feedback on those that have been run so far. What works & how. Do we keep doing these, do we try top step up how often we do them?
- Draft some guidelines on "how to run a PUG platoon" so that it a) works in-game and b) works in synergy with the outfit platoon(s)
3. Allies & Vanu on Miller in general
- How are things going with our allies? Who are we making good progress with?
- How have things gone when we've had outfits join our platoons? Should we have some guidelines about this (i.e: Getting their leaders into our Mumble so they are part of our leadership comms?)
- Possible Miller-community-forum. It's something I've been thinking about. I'm going to have a chat with people in the new Miller TS and report back on that.
- Recruitment? Do we? How? What have we got / what will we be getting to be able to ask for a possible rps feature like the other one?

I can't think of anything else that particularly needs to be addressed from my end, but thought it'd be worth saying that I think all the ones you've raised so far should be good.Powered by Steam. And biscuits. I'm also a twit and dabble in creative writing.

I won't be there.
But there's one thing I'd like to see brought up, if anybody has any feelings about this other than me:
Outfit identity/purpose. I've opposed active recruiting in game or on official forums/reddit/etc, as to me the Rock Paper Shotgun community Outfit should be just that - an outfit for people from the Rock Paper Shotgun community to play Planetside 2 together. Obviously we're going to acquire people from elsewhere as we go along as well, but the core purpose idea is to be somewhere RPS readers can play together. I think some other people might like it if Rock Planet Shotgun simply set out to be the biggest, strongest outfit it can be in the game. It's just something I'd like thought about.
I'm of the opinion we avoid pushing this too hard. I'm happy for those who join PUG platoons and want to know more having a look-see, but [RPS] will always be, first and foremost, a place for readers of rps to get together to play planetside 2. If there is any active recuitment it should be by asking nicley for a front-page feature before anything else. But we can discuss this."KING GEORGE IS A FROG

Ill try to be there, but only if theres mumble for android.- Tom De Roeck.
verse publications & The Shopkeeper, an interactive short.
"Quantacat's name is still recognised even if he watches on with detached eyes like Peter Molyneux over a cube in 3D space, staring at it with tears in his eyes, softly whispering... Someday they'll get it." - The Conclave
Yeah I should be able to make this, memory permitting
Sounds good so far, and if I think of any issues, ill let you know.
The key ones for me are the mumble comms setup and how this affects specific nights. Ive already suggested a method for this which I believe would solve the issue, the only problem is that it requires setting up like 10 different whispers.
As for recruiting, I guess we will see what others opinions are, but I agree that it should be left as it is.. Word of mouth, public interest etc work well and keep out the people who would just do us harm. Additionally, if we continue to grow, a leadership or class system would be necessary (moreso than we have now) which isnt what we want, I assume.
Anyway, ill speak to you guys then.
I'll still be op'ing this show, which is where I've been all week. (and it's dreadful). My 2c is for:
Comms to be as easy as possible and simple to explain/setup.
We need to be very careful about hiving off too many of our long term members/experienced leaders into "special" units, especially on public night, but that needs to be balanced with specific people wanting to play together. (and if we all want to just play together then why hold a public night at all?).
Backseat PLing should be punishable by firing squad.
But it must be made easy, and encouraged, for people to pass off PL in a non-judgmental way if they are just out of ideas or not feeling it.
Recruiting should be subtle rather than /yell "Join us". The forum/mumble/friend of a friend would seem to offer the best chance of getting people of an RPS mindset.
Outfit purpose - At some point we are going to have to address the central question of are we playing for the giggles or to win. Having nights where we do one or the other is fine by me, but it does seem to frustrate people on their "off" nights.
Just to lob a bomb - We have hundreds of members, should we cull (or calf) inactives? They are presumably playing "unsupervised" with our RPS tag on.
On your last point, while I see why you would suggest it, how would you go about really being able to decide who to cull... could potentially be pissing off people for no reason :P
Grible: I and a few others can't stand the comms on public night but would like to play the game as well. Hence delta force. Since I limit it to a squad - not a platoon like I did that one time - I dont see the harm. There are plenty of vets in the main platoon and channel.
The same goes for standard nights - sometimes it's way chatty and I can't stand it. Since it never goes through or is met with loud NOs I don't like to propose splitting. Hence delta force. It's the best solution for all involved as we also have a right to play the game our way, even on, our not set in stone, standard nights.
Never meant to imply you couldn't play the game how ever you want, when ever you want. I also don't disagree at all with the delta setup! I fully understand that people have different tolerances for 'too chatty' and completely respect the desire to split out when it gets too much.
I'm not really saying "we should do this". I just thought I'd mention it since we commonly refer to other outfits as a mass - they must do to us too.
I think it comes back to the character of the outfit, play to win, play to giggle, play to cert. Often all three come together - most nights in fact - sometimes they divide and that is when tensions happen.

I have udpated the top post with dteails for the 2nd meeting. Suggested additions welcomed.
Please turn up, please chat and please put forward "actions to be taken" afterwards.
Changed time so it's not so damned late.
This does need to happen because the more often it happens the less likely it is to last three bloody hours..."KING GEORGE IS A FROG

On the logo issue note, given that youtube/logo has become partially my area: It may be a good idea for people to have a trawl through the youtube thread to look at ideas before the meeting to speed this discussion up... Add any thoughts you like too.
Pay particular attention to the last few images by cooper; namely the sideways giraffe head by rizlar that uses the purple background and green circle proposed by myself taking the propeganda poster style into account. The last few were a very good representation of the direction I myself thought the logo should head in....
We need to establish if people are happy with this as a 'sort of' executive decision, by which I mean decided by the few of us that have had input so far, or if people want to have a week or so to submit new ideas.
As far as the background goes... the current idea is to go with rizlars proposed idea and work it into something that we can use across all related pages.
Finally, whether we go with the traditional, or new (if a tad bland) youtube banner style.
just remember that less is always more. so no over the top flying giraffe in space with lens flares, please.- Tom De Roeck.

Also, quanta, I could do with discussing youtube/your channel/plans at some point, if thats not too much of a bother? Maybe in the youtube thread, or on mumble at some point.
For this meeting - can we try to keep what we say concise, and also that we think about what to say in longer spurts before we speak? Also, can we try to have a bit more diversity in speakers?
Last meeting was pretty much dominated by two people that answered every question. I personally felt that I couldn't get a word out without getting cut off.
Yes, and so did others that I talked to. So let's just chuck it out there - BasicPauly and MrEclectic, can you leave a bit more room for others? You answered pretty much everything last time and talked for a majority of the meeting. Quite often when people tried to speak you cut them off.
It wasn't that nice, and for the meetings to be good we need to have a lot of speakers.
If I speak, to be fair its because theres something to say that is relevant, or I have been asked a question. I didnt cut anybody off, and I dont believe eclectic did either tbh.. I think I was the first person to actually make a point in asking for more speakers! Most people just didnt speak save a few individuals who then joined in.
I dont mean to make this sound too bad, but I just see that as plain bullshit. I know I did speak out, but so did a lot of others and therefore to pin blame here is a bit pissy... sorry Ride, but it was a little unfair given you are usually one of the first people who speaks out loud and proud :P. No disrespect meant, but you see my point im sure.

RETURNING midfielder Tom Cairney genuinely believes Blackburn Rovers have the potential to become one of the top teams in the Championship.
But the 23-year-old, who scored on his comeback match against Brighton and Hove Albion on Tuesday, feels it will be next season before that is realised.
The 3-3 draw with the Seagulls all but ended Rovers' slim hopes of reaching the play-offs.
Cairney insists they will not give up on sixth spot as long as it remains mathematically possible.
But he concedes it may be beyond them.
Cairney said: "I think the management staff have got to take a lot of credit for what they've done turning Blackburn around this season, it's great to be part of and hopefully the fans can see that.
"I do think we're on the verge of something. Obviously it's more than likely going to happen next season but I really don't think there are that many teams than better us in the division.
"Ask any of the boys, there's only Leicester, at their place, who have outplayed us, especially in the first half, and they've run away with the league and rightly so.
"So I definitely feel we're on the verge of something, it's just that it's more than likely next season.
"We are looking quite attacking," added Cairney, who linked up well with Jordan Rhodes, Craig Conway and David Dunn.
"I've not played much with Conway as I got injured at Reading, which was his first start, but he's done really well.
"It's also always nice to play with Dunny as he's still got a great brain.
"We've had 12 clean sheets but we've not had one since Reading and if we can just sort that out I'm confident we can score every game."
Cairney, a £600,000 January arrival from Hull City, took his tally for the term up to four on Tuesday.
The former Scotland U21 international said: "Tommy Spurr did really well down the left, I was able to catch up with him, get to the back stick, and, with the foot I've not used all season, put it into the back of the net which was great.
"But it was bittersweet as the horrible thing is conceding late on and only getting a point from the game.
"The three goals we gave away were not the best at all. We felt comfortable throughout the game, they only had four shots and scored three, which is immensely frustrating.
"We've got to learn quite quickly from it because if we'd won games like these we would have been up there."

You never know when it's the right time to go back to normal stuff in a situation like we've had today and last night.
But there is a hockey game tonight as the conference finals begin, and so I'm sure a lot of you are ready to get back to hockey here, at least for a while. So here's a post that was going to go up this morning.
Calling all Boneheads. I need your advice on the last predictions contest … or I can just give first prize to Sally. But since she won the beard contest, I'd prefer to pick a winner for the last round of predictions.
Here's the dilemma. One entrant picked all four series correctly. He failed to pick any tiebreakers, though.
Seven others had three out of four. Of those seven, nobody had the first tiebreaker (score of Boston-Philly clincher) correct, none had the GWG correct. So it would go to the final tiebreaker, closest to Boston saves.
So, in your opinion, do I declare the 4-0 guy the winner because he was alone at 4-0? Or do I disqualify him for not giving tiebreakers and go with the winner of the last tiebreaker among those who picked three series correctly?
I will await your opinions throughout this thread. Once a new thread goes up the decision will be made. I will add this: Both the guy who was 4-0 with no tiebreakers, and the guy who was 3-1 with the best tiebreaker are loyal regular Boneheads, for what that's worth.
FYI, I had three of four correct also.

Five Things You Probably Didn't Know About Lynyrd Skynyrd's Song "Free Bird"
It is probably the most iconic and requested rock song of all time – and you know secretly that you love it. Every time you watch Forrest Gump on TNT, your heart races a little bit when Jenny's gold platform slips from the ledge and that guitar solo rips and then fades. You know the lyrics, the melody and even the crescendos but do you know the back story of the song, "Free Bird?" Check out the top five things you probably didn't know about this legendary song.
"Free Bird" Almost Didn't Make the Cut
The band's record company, MCA Records, wanted to leave the song off the band's first album Lynyrd Skynyrd with the subtitle "Pronounced Leh-nerd Skin-nerd." They thought the song was too long and radio stations wouldn't play it. Even the band thought it wasn't going to be a hit but it rose to #19 on Billboard's Top 100.
Inspired by True Events
A fight between guitarist Allen Collins' then-girlfriend, and later wife, Kathy, inspired the song's first verse "If I leave here tomorrow, would you still remember me?"
Over Two Years in the Making
It took Collins two years to write the music for the piece but it was completed long before the lyrics were added. One night, lead singer Ronnie Van Zant became inspired and had Collins and Gary Rossington play the chords over and over until he wrote the lyrics. Rossington told Blender magazine, "After a few months, we were sitting around, and he asked Allen to play those chords again. After about 20 minutes, Ronnie started singing, 'If I leave here tomorrow,' and it fit great. It wasn't anything heavy, just a love song about leavin' town, time to move on. Al put the organ on the front, which was a very good idea. He also helped me get the sound of the delayed slide guitar that I play – it's actually me playing the same thing twice, recording one on top of the other, so it sounds kind of slurry, echoey. "The final cut of the song was recorded in 1973.
This One Goes Out To…
"Free Bird" has been used at graduation ceremonies, as an anthem to breakups and even at funerals but Johnny Van Zant quoted in a CD/DVD commentary, "Of course at the end it was dedicated to Duane Allman from the band Allman Brothers because it goes into the guitar part. If you can get through that one you've had a good night at a Skynyrd show."
"Free Bird" Sans Vocals
For a while, Johnny Van Zant, brother to former frontman Ronnie Van Zant, wouldn't sing the lyrics to "Free Bird" and the closing of the show was performed as an instrumental.
See Lynyrd Skynyrd live at the Ford Center with special guest Eric Paslay on August 1st 2013 – brought to you by sponsors: Dale's Harley Davidson and Bobby Wilson Furniture! General tickets are available at ticketmaster.com and at the Ford Center ticket office.

Watch a Man Pay His Fine In Coins – Other Than Being a Jerk, Is He Wrong?
This video brings up a very interesting question about making payments and the use of cash. The video features a guy in Australia who goes to City Hall to pay a parking ticket fine. He asks the cashier if they accept cash and she says yes. He says great, reaches into his backpack, pulls out a bank bag full of coins and dumps them on the counter...is he wrong?

SAINT LEO, Fla. – The Intercollegiate Tennis Association (ITA) announced its final standings of the 2012 season on Wednesday as the Lions' women's tennis program concluded its campaign as the 12th-best team in Division II. The finish is a program best for Saint Leo. Additionally, the Lions ended their campaign tied for fourth in-region, finishing just behind SSC foes Lynn and Barry.
The women, who finished with a program-record 18 wins, including the first-ever win over Rollins in the NCAA Tournament, moved up two spots from the May 2 poll.
"This year has been a breakout year for the women," said Head Coach James Bryce. "It was exciting to watch them develop and grow as a team throughout the year. We had some great wins over good teams and a first in program history as well. With most of the lineup returning, plus our incoming additions, we are all excited to see what 2012-13 has in store."
Individually, Laura Kemkes, an All-Sunshine State Conference First Team member and CoSIDA Academic All-District Women's At-Large selection, concluded the year as the nation's 14th-ranked, and region's fourth-ranked singles player, while Emily Singleton and Adrianna Daszkiewicz ended play 16th and 19th in regional singles play, respectively.
The doubles tandem of Emily Singleton and Kemkes, an All-SSC First Team duo, finished the year ranked 12th in the country and third in the region.

Topic: I lost the love of my life
On February 7, 2007, 11 months after initial diagnoses of CC, I lost the love of my life to this cancer as my children lost the father they adored and respected. He loved us more than one could wish for and that love will sustain us for the years to come, it will guide us through bouts of anger, fear, unhappiness, always embracing us, giving us the comfort and strengths to go on. It was a long, hard battle with a disease still in the infant stages of treatment and the discovery thereof.
This cancer in general is considered slow growing except when it is secondary to radiation, as it was in my husband

Wireless cards.
Wireless cards are very different based upon what chipset you have. I personally use Atheros chipset cards which has screwed me up a bit with BackTrack as it has problems with using them for certain attacks.
What I will again show is generic commands for setting up and configuring your wireless interfaces.
The interface name (ath0 below) is entirely dependant on what chipset you are using, you may have any of the following:
You need to find out what you have. To do this you should execute the following bash command:
iwconfig -a
This will show all wireless extension on your machine. You should see all of your network interfaces, but only the wireless ones will have detailed information next to it. Now you know what your wireless cards name is...
Switch on your wireless card:
ifconfig ath0 up
To connect to an 'open' wireless access point (AP):
iwconfig ath0 essid 'nameofnetwork'
The 'nameofnetwork' is your Service Set IDentifer (SSID). That is the name of your network.
To configure a WEP key:
iwconfig ath0 key 3B5D3C7D207E37DCEEEDD301E3
To connect to a specific AP:
iwconfig ath0 ap 03:27:A8:BC:0F:F1
Where '03:27:A8:BC:0F:F1' is the MAC address of your AP, also known as the Basic Service Set IDentifier (BSSID).
Once you have setup your connection, you can get a DHCP address:
dhcpcd ath0
Then check that you have an IP from the wireless network.
But what if the network uses WPA? Again you need to assign the essid and maybe an AP MAC, then:
Create a text based file called wpa_supplicant.conf
Enter the following:
Where nameofnetwork is your essid and psk is your WPA pre-shared key!
Then run the wpa_supplicant tool.
wpa_supplicant -D madwifi -i ath0 -c wpa_supplicant.conf
This will need altering depending on what chipset and drivers you are using. The above should work for an Atheros card.
Saying all of the above about WPA configurations, I have had many problems with it on BackTrack. If someone else has other suggestions, please post here. Also, please post setup commands for other types of wireless cards.
To put your wireless card into monitor mode:
iwconfig ath0 mode monitor
To restrict it to one specific channel:
iwconfig ath0 channel XX
Make sure you use a two figure number, channel 1 tends to put you on channel 11 for some reason!
Again, they are for Atheros cards, other cards have other commands.
I hope this has helped people in understanding a little more about the configuration settings for their wireless cards. Don't forget the wlassisstant tool on BackTrack too.
If you notice any errors in the above commands, please post.
If you want to post other commands, please do!

Yet another celebrity has been injured on "Splash." Nicole Eggert is just the latest contestant to suffer an injury while participating on the ABC reality show. The former "Baywatch" star was injured during a taping of "Splash" and spent Thursday in the hospital, Eggert's rep David Weintraub confirms to E! News.
The 41-year-old was pulled from the water by EMTs after "a bad landing," a rep for the show confirms. She was rushed to the hospital and released later that day. "She is currently consulting with a doctor," the rep adds.
READ: Find out what Katherine Webb had to say about quitting the show
"The ER is always fun," Eggert tweeted on Thursday night.
Katherine Webb was forced to quit the show in the last episode due to a back injury, while Chuy Bravo was forced to leave after hurting his heel in practice.
And though he suffered a ruptured eardrum after performing a drive, extreme skier Rory Bushfield has chosen to stay in the competition.
TMZ first reported the news of Eggert's hospitalization.

The Advertising Council and the Gay, Lesbian, and Straight Education Network has teamed up to fight the phrase "That's so gay"? It is time that we stop using peoples lives as pejorative descriptors. Phrases like that's so gay or that's so retarded need to go. As a matter of simple human decency recognizing that difference need not relegate someone to second class citizenship.

Protein-Protein Conjugation Kit
The Protein-Protein Conjugation Kit is designed to easily and efficiently conjugate two proteins together. This kit is flexible so that researchers with little or no conjugation experience can make their own custom protein-protein conjugates to suit their needs. It includes all of the necessary components - including S-HyNic and S-4FB - and protocols for easy and specific crosslinking of any protein with any other protein of a different size greater than 7 kDa.
Workflow Diagram

Solulink's proprietary linker technology is an innovative, catalyzed, UV-traceable, heterobifunctional linker technology that offers greater efficiency and yield in a considerably simpler method.
- S-HyNic (succinimidyl-6-hydrazino-nicotinamide) linker is conjugated to protein 1 through primary amines (-NH2) on the amino acid, lysine, or on the N-terminus.
- S-4FB (succinimidyl-4-formylbenzamide) linker is conjugated to protein 2 through primary amines (-NH2) on the amino acid, lysine, or on the N-terminus.
- HyNic-modified protein 1 is incubated with 4FB-modified protein 2 in a catalyzed conjugation.
The result is two biomolecules conjugated through a UV-traceable, stable bond (bis-arylhydrazone) with measurable absorbance at 354 nm.
The Solulink bioconjugation method, with the addition of the TurboLink™ catalyst, guarantees >95% conversion of protein to conjugate when more than 2 molar equivalents of excess protein is added. High conversion rates, coupled with the unique UV traceable bond formed during crosslinking, allows for easy purification and identification of the conjugate from any excess protein using size exclusion purification methods such as FPLC or diafiltration. Each kit contains the materials to synthesize two conjugation reactions for any ELISA, flow cytometry, IHC, or immunoassay development in just under 4 hours each, yielding between 40–60% conjugate after purification.
Protein-Protein Conjugation Kit Advantages
- Catalyzed conjugation – Faster kinetics for greater efficiency and yields
- Quantifiable – Using a UV signature wavelength and simple UV scan
- Stability – 10 times more stable than any other conjugation linker
- Specificity – Two-linker method avoids homoconjugate formation

The Cathedral Church of St. Mark will again be the site of a winter solstice celebration that has become an annual tradition in downtown Salt Lake City
This musical event brings the sounds of jazz into the historic church with an atmosphere that blends with the Christmas season.
Each year the annual concert features special guest artists accompanied by the Larry Jackstien Group. Jackstien has been a mainstay of this event since its inception 19 years ago.
The program this year has been built around the presentation of some instruments not normally associated with jazz music. The concert will feature the talents of cellist Eric Samuels, Cimbalon performer Igor Iachimciuc and flautist/vocalist Carole Turcotte.
Samuels currently serves as CEO and Music Director of the Park City Music Festival. His training as a renown cellist includes study at Juilliard, Norte Dame, Rutgers and New York University all leading to a Doctorate in Music Performance.
Also featured will be the current visiting professor of music theory and composition at the University of Utah – Dr. Igor Iachimciuc (pronounced ya-en-chuc). A native of Moldova, he is continues to travel worldwide as the recognized master of the Cimbalon, a Hungarian string-percussion instrument that was originally used only by folk musicians.
The versatile Carole Turcottewill be this year's vocalist. Ms. Turcotte also is recognized as one of the area's finest jazz flautists, a role she will assume during the concert.
The Winter Solstice celebration also will feature Larry Jackstien on piano, Jay Lawrence on drums, and Lars Yorgason on bass.
Spence Kinard will present some appropriate holiday thoughts. It will begin at 7:30 p.m. on Friday, December 21 at the Cathedral Church of St. Mark located at the 231 East First South.
The Cathedral is the sponsor of the event.
Admission is complimentary, but donations are encouraged.

Walking Again
Carroll native part of humanitarian mission providing free hip and joint replacement surgeries in Vietnam
Byline info is not available
Carroll native Cori Mack (center) helped conduct physicial therapy for this patient who had received a hip replacement. To the right stands one of the Vietnamese translators, a volunteer from California. According to Mack, her patient had received a hip replacement on the other side four years earlier from another volunteer organization.
Cori Mack (front, left) worked with this team of physical therapists and translators in Vietnam for a week.
February 14, 2014
In remote areas of Vietnam, arthritis can literally cripple, while those injured in vehicular accidents stand little to no chance of walking again.
But Vietnam is not unique. In poor regions of countries across the globe, operations many in the U.S. take for granted as routine can be once-in-a-lifetime opportunities.
Often those opportunities are provided by nonprofit medical organizations. Late last fall, 1994 Kuemper High School graduate and Carroll native Cori Mack volunteered her time with such an organization, Operation Walk Chicago, traveling to Nha Trang, Vietnam, from Nov. 9-18 to assist with 86 hip- and knee-replacement surgeries.
According to the organization's website, Operation Walk was founded in 1994 by Los Angeles-based orthopedist Lawrence Dorr. It has chapters operating in 11 states.
Mack, a private physical therapist in Chicago since 2001, learned about the organization through her office's contact with orthopedic and rehabilitation specialists David Stulberg and Victoria Brander, founders of the Chicago branch of Operation Walk.
Mack first applied to participate on a medical trip three years earlier when the organization traveled to Nepal in 2010, but it wasn't until the 2013 trip to Vietnam - Operation Walk Chicago's first to that country - that Mack found a place.
Joining more than 50 other health-care providers, Mack was in-country for eight of the mission's 12 days. She was part of the early team, setting up the materials shipped overseas from the U.S. and assisting in the pre-surgery screening, as well as working in patient recovery.
"We have to bring anything we need to perform surgery or recovery -canes, crutches, walkers, bandages, prostheses, vitamins," she said.
The doctors were given control of three operating rooms and a series of recovery rooms, though the conditions were not comparable to the U.S. It was "nowhere near as modern," Mack described, adding that it was common for eight to 10 patients to share a room, and in some cases for more than one patient to share a bed.
A team of six surgeons and their anesthesiologists, translators and nurses began surgeries as early as 8 a.m., often working 12- to 14-hour shifts to complete more than 10 surgeries per day, Mack said. A day after surgery, the patients were checked by the surgeons and turned over to the physical therapists, who had to essentially reteach them how to walk.
"Some of them hadn't walked in 10 to 20 years," she said, recalling one older gentleman who had been carried in on his wife's back for his consultation. "He started crying when he was told he would receive surgery because he thought his wife had made it up and brought him to the hospital to die."
Another patient, only 28, had been a house painter when he was hit by a motorcycle as he was walking down the road, Mack said. He had broken his hip and elbows, and his wife and a friend had been carrying him around on a stretcher for three months. He had never expected to hold his 2-year-old daughter again.
Mack said the patients were often "beyond belief" that they could learn to stand, walk and move around again. But where rehabilitation in the U.S. often takes three to four months, the physical therapists in Vietnam had to have their patients ready to leave the hospital and return home in five to six days.
"We had to teach them enough to progress and finish rehab and healing on their own, or with their families, because nobody there knew what to do," she said.
Facing that time crunch, the patients' attitudes differed from many in the U.S.
"There was so much trust," Mack recalled. "I walk in, don't speak the language, and say, 'You've never met me, but here's what I need you to do,' and they cooperate immediately."
But they not only cooperated with the physical therapists, they taught and supported each other. A therapist saw each patient about twice a day, but it was not unusual to walk into a room and find an individual working on exercises they'd learned from a fellow patient, and with two to five family members accompanying each patient, the rooms could easily fill up with nearly 50 people, Mack said.
"There was a lot of camaraderie between them," she said. "Sometimes we almost had to tell family members to step away and let patients work on their own because they had so much support."
But the sped-up recovery efforts weren't the most difficult part of the work, Mack said. The number of people who arrived, sometimes walking for hours from miles away, in hope of receiving surgery outnumbered those able to receive surgery nearly three-to-one. During the screening process, the physical therapists had to decide which patients had the social support needed to assist their recovery, and which patients were too severe to help because the team would not be in the country long enough to get them on the road to recovery.
Most of the population travels by motorbike, Mack added, so patients needed to be very stable when they were released.
"We didn't have the time and resources," Mack said. "Figuring out which individuals would be the best candidates was the hardest part."
The medical team members also worked to train their Vietnamese counterparts. The goal of Operation Walk is not only to perform as many surgeries in a week as possible, but to teach the native staff to enable them to provide future care on their own. On successful trips - which Vietnam certainly was, Mack said - the teams return a few years later to encourage the staff and provide further learning opportunities. The U.S. doctors on the Vietnam trip were accompanied by a Nepalese physician who volunteered partly to serve others, but also to practice more with the U.S. surgeons, Mack explained.
According to the Operation Walk website, each trip costs about $200,000. This cost includes the supplies for the medical work and the transportation costs for the volunteers.
The organization sends a team abroad about once a year. In 2012, Chicago teams participated in a national initiative to serve the under-insured here in the U.S. by offering free knee and hip replacements. According to a follow-up letter Mack received, Brazil and the Philippines are both possible locations for future humanitarian missions.
The 38-year-old hopes to be a member of the contingent she is sure will return to Vietnam, but plans to participate again regardless of her destination.
"It's nice to go and help people that really, truly have no other resources," she said. "This was one of the successes. Every patient responded well, was able to get in and out of bed, get dressed, walk around the hospital."
There was also great willingness of the local physicians to learn and work alongside the U.S. doctors, she added.
"If given the opportunity to go back, I would not hesitate," she said.
Mack is the daughter of Dan and Linda Mack of Carroll. Linda is a retired Carroll High School teacher. Dan, also a physical therapist, is proud of his daughter's service work and the strides she has made in her profession.
"She's always been pretty bright and benevolent," he said. "Growing up, she had an honest look at physical therapy and what it's all about, and I'm proud she chose to go into that."

A former primary school teacher and youth worker has been jailed today after committing 21 child sexual offences spanning an entire decade.
Paul Cannon, 40, was found guilty of historical sexual abuse against 20 young victims in places including Sutton, Merton and Carshalton from 1999 to 2009, often near the River Wandle.
Cannon, of Coulsdon Road, Coulsdon, was jailed for four years for 21 offences, with a further 20 offences taken into consideration against an additional 19 victims.
These related to 10 offences, mainly of indecent exposure, which took place between 2002 and 2008, Croydon Crown Court heard.
Police have praised a 24-year-old woman who sparked the investigation when she came forward in 2012 having seen the publicity surrounding sexual abuse at the hands of Jimmy Savile.
Victims reported Cannon often wore sunglasses, regardless of the weather, and rode a mountain bike.
In a number of instances Cannon approached the victims - who were mainly female, and aged between six and 13 years-old, engaged them in conversation by asking them for directions to a specific location, and asked them in particular whether they knew if there were any toilets nearby.
On a number of occasions he then asked them if he could take inappropriate pictures of them in exchange for money.
In some cases he then proceeded to sexually assault the victims.
Police said searches at Cannon's home address unearthed more than 4,000 indecent images and movies of children.
Further images were also found of park areas and swimming pool changing rooms which reinforced suspicions Cannon was and is a serial and prolific offender, a police spokesman said.
Cannon worked at various schools within Surrey and West Sussex.
There are no reports at this time of any offences committed in his capacity as a teacher.
Cannon was found guilty of two counts of indecency towards a child, four counts of indecent assault on a female under 14 years, one of exposure, one count of indecent exposure, five counts of outraging public decency and one of engaging in sexual activity with a child.
Additionally he was found guilty of sexual assault on a child under 13 years-old, sexual assault and five counts of taking indecent images of a child.
Cannon was also sentenced to two months in prison in relation to 12 counts of making indecent images or movies of a child.
He was found not guilty of one count of indecent exposure.
DS Nick Troon, from the Sexual Offences, Exploitation and Child Abuse Command said: "I would like to thank all of the victims in this case and commend them for their bravery in assisting us in bringing Cannon to justice for his crimes.
"A prolific offender, he no doubt thought that given the passage of time he was unlikely to ever be held accountable for his actions.
"I hope today's result will encourage other victims to come forward and report allegations, regardless of the passage of time and nature of the offence.
"I believe there may well be further victims of Cannon out there and would encourage anyone who recognises him in connection with offences to report the matter to police."
Anyone with information is asked to call DS Nick Troon or DC Becky Collins on 020 8217 6431 or 020 8217 6430.

text: NEW YORK ( TheDeal) -- Georgia-Pacific LLC said Wednesday it plans to acquire Buckeye Technologies Inc. ( BKI) in a $1.5 billion cash-and-debt deal aimed at moving the paper products company into new specialty fiber markets. Terms of the deal call for Georgia-Pacific, a unit of privately-held Koch Industries Inc., to pay $37.50 per share in cash for Memphis-based Buckeye, a premium of 25% over the target's Tuesday close. The price values Buckeye's shares outstanding at about $1.4 billion, with Atlanta-based Georgia-Pacific also taking on some debt in the transaction. Buckeye was falling 0.5% to $37.66 at mid-day. The shares have gained 18% in the past 12 months. DA Davidson analyst Steven Chercover cut his rating in Buckeye to "underperform" from "buy." Georgia-Pacific said that it expects to launch a cash tender offer for Buckeye shares, with the deal subject to both regulatory approval and participation of at least 75% of Buckeye shares in the tender. Buckeye is a maker of fibers and nonwoven materials made from wood and cotton. The company's manufacturing assets include mills in Florida, Tennessee, North Carolina and Germany, and it employs more than 1,200 people from offices in the U.S., Europe and China. The deal is the second significant purchase for Georgia-Pacific in recent months, following the company's December announcement that it would buy the building products division of Temple-Inland from International Paper Co. for $750 million. The company is a unit of privately held Koch Industries Inc., which acquired Georgia-Pacific Corp. for $21 billion in 2006. Georgia-Pacific CEO Jim Hannan in a statement said Buckeye's products "strongly complement Georgia-Pacific's existing cellulose business and products" and should help spark growth. "The talented employees, innovation capabilities, advanced technologies, and specialty fibers and nonwovens businesses of Buckeye Technologies will provide a significant platform for continued growth and success," Hannan said.

-Joseph Ventrella, Class of 2011
"Through the English Education track, I feel I have grown artistically and professionally with the help of the great professors here at Lewis. They have taught me that the field of education is constantly about learning and expanding our knowledge; education is about being flexible and open-minded. As a future English teacher, I will carry my passion in always wanting to learn new content and bring new teaching techniques into the classroom to pass on to my future students, thanks to the professors in the COE and the English Studies Department."
-Victoria Van Dyke, Class of 2011
"I have a lot of confidence in my English major. These courses have taught me to be a well-written, well-spoken, and active member in such a socially networked society. The world will always need people who know how to read, write, and communicate!"
-Joseph Deardurff, Class of 2011
"My experiences in obtaining my English and Secondary Education majors have been valuable and diverse. I've gotten the chance to work with several interesting, passionate professors who always engage and are engaging. Also, my peers vary in their English Programs, so I constantly get the chance to interact with students of different interests. Overall, the departments and majors have had positive impacts on my education and will continue to influence me throughout my career."
-Kimberly Phillips, Class of 2011
"The writing program at Lewis works not only as an educational guide, a conduit between the students' writing ability and their writing success, but also as a safe haven for those searching for a deeper meaning in language and the ability to manipulate it with the point of a pen. The collaboration that emerges between the students and writing professors is one that strengthens the students' vocabulary, insight, editing skills and imagination like a tightly wound violin string. The students provide the material; Lewis teaches them to make music."
-Jamie R. LaFevers, Class of 2010
"The English Studies Department along with the College of Education work toward one goal: creating personable, knowledgeable, and influential future educators of English. I feel lucky to have collaborated with professors from both fields. With their input and wisdom, I feel I am well prepared for the English world, as well as the teaching world. In fact, I can't wait!"
-Holly Hernandez, Class of 2010
"The Lewis University English major Program Two: Literature and Language has encouraged my love of literature while expanding my knowledge and understanding of it. I am confident in my abilities and skills I've gained, and I feel prepared and ready to graduate. Many thanks to the Lewis University English Studies Department!"
-Tricia Borgra, Class of 2010
"I'm going to start grad classes at DePaul in April. I enrolled in their Writing and Publishing Program. And thanks for teaching us bookmaking, It's really come in handy. I had an interview at Exelon last week and I was able to give some cardstock a stab at binding and took a handmade portfolio with me."
-Elizabeth Weber, Class of 2008
"The Lewis University writing program is extremely valuable in that it teaches people to think of the English language in a way that goes beyond semi-colons and comma splices. What I learned as a creative writing student is that language can be electric, part technique and part backbone. Because of Lewis and because of its instructors, I have the confidence to call myself a writer."
-Melissa Culbertson, Class of 2007
"The study of Creative and Professional Writing at Lewis University offers many opportunities to engage with the literary community at large. With what I've learned at Lewis, I've co-created and edited a literary journal with fellow alumni, designed websites, and published my own work in a wide variety of magazines and literary journals. The Writing Program is an exciting and highly beneficial way to explore and participate in the writing life."
-Susan Slaviero, Class of 2007
"When I enrolled at Lewis University, I was an English major with a literature focus; however, once I began taking writing and rhetoric classes, I was drawn into the Writing Program. Although I did not officially change my focus, the Writing Program impacted me personally, professionally, and academically. My evolution as a writer was encouraged and enhanced; especially in an independent study, exploring Postmodern women rhetoricians. In addition, I took a Professional Writing course that improved my writing so much that I began volunteering my services to non-for-profit organizations, such as Beyond Media. Furthermore, the Writing Program encouraged me to apply for graduate programs in writing. Currently, I am enrolled at DePaul University, where my writing and analytical skills, in addition to my theoretical knowledge, have been praised. All of these skills were developed during my coursework in the Writing Program. I am earning a dual Master's in Writing, Rhetoric, and Discourse and Gender Studies, and my writing skills are utilized daily. The Writing Program has greatly contributed to my success as a student and writer."
-Michelle Lorenzen, Class of 2007

THE Police and Crime Commissioner for Wiltshire and Swindon, Angus Macpherson, is out of the Intensive Therapy Unit (ITU) at the Royal United Hospital in Bath and continuing his recovery on a ward.
Mr Macpherson was taken ill on Friday May 30 whilst visiting Dr Andrew Murrison, the MP for South West Wiltshire, in Trowbridge.
Kieran Kilgallen, Chief Executive of the Office of the Police and Crime Commissioner, who met members of Mr Macpherson's family yesterday afternoon, said: "Angus is out of ITU. He is sitting up in his bed on the ward, talking to his family and continuing to improve steadily.
"He has asked that we pass on his thanks for the very many messages he has received wishing him a speedy recovery."

A NEYLAND family, whose ten-month-old son died after contracting meningitis, has welcomed news that a life-saving vaccine may become available on the NHS.
On Christmas Eve, 2011, Kadyn Dean Busby died after contracting meningococcal septicaemia - a highly aggressive bacterial infection, also known as meningitis B.
In the two years since their son's tragic death, Nikki and Tony Busby have raised more than £36,000 for Meningitis Now – a UK charity fighting to secure a vaccine against the disease.
The Department of Health has now recommended that meningitis B vaccine 'Bexsero' be introduced as part of the NHS vaccination schedule for infants aged from two months.
Nikki, 31, described the news as "amazing".
"For us, this is what we wanted, this is what we've been fundraising and campaigning for," she said.
The decision means manufacturer Novartis will still have to make the vaccine available at a 'cost effective price' before it is added to the programme, but Nikki said it was still a huge step forward.
Previously, the Department of Health's joint committee on vaccination and immunisation (JCVI) had said the vaccine was completely unaffordable.
Speaking of the recommendations, Welsh Government Health Minister Mark Drakeford said: "Meningitis B can be devastating for children and their families, and naturally we are keen to take effective steps to tackle its effects. The JCVI recommendations are the very start of the process and we will monitor closely the outcome of the negotiations."
Nikki said the family had not been expecting the U-turn, and the decision had stirred many mixed emotions.
"It's a really weird feeling; it's emotional because of everything we've done, and because of Kadyn," she said.
"For it to come out three years after, part of us is like 'Why three years after? Why not earlier?' But then we think about all the future lives that will be saved, and it's amazing."
The couple are currently enjoying time with their six-month-old daughter Faith-Marie, who Nikki describes as the 'spitting image' of her son.
"She's like Kadyn's double, it's unbelievable - absolutely incredible how much she's like him," she said.
And, while thrilled at the possible introduction of a vaccine, Nikki said she is keen to keep raising awareness of the illness and the devastating effect it can have.
The couple are considering setting up a local charity in Kadyn's name, to give back to the community which helped them out after they lost their son.
"Everybody rallied round for us and the money raised was unbelievable," said Nikki.
She added that establishing a permanent memorial to her son would also help keep his memory alive.
"We feel a bit like Kadyn might be forgotten, so we want to make sure that doesn't happen."
The family's next fundraiser will be an Easter Bingo event at Neyland Athletic Club on Monday, April 28. For details, email email@example.com.

Place the juice, salt and agar flakes in a sauce pan, stir and bring to a boil. Reduce the flame to medium-low and simmer until the flakes have dissolved, about 10 minutes. Slice 3 cups of strawberries and place in a shallow bowl. When the agar flakes have dissolved, remove from the flame and allow to cool slightly before pouring the juice over the strawberries. Refrigerate until gelled, about 1 1/2 hour. This gelled dessert is now called kanten. Place the kanten in a blender with the maple syrup and remaining strawberries. Puree several seconds until creamy. Place the custard in small serving dishes.
Variation: this custard is nice with sliced fresh strawberries or whole blueberries on top. Granola sprinkled on top adds delightful crunch.
