Dramatic Rescue of Sabena Flight 571May 9, 2012 at 12:24:42 AM
Everyone remembers Israel's daring 1976 rescue of hostages at Entebbe. This week marks the 40th anniversary of another incredible rescue:
On May 8, 1972 a Boeing 707 operated by the Belgian national airline, Sabena, was hijacked by four Palestinian terrorists en route from Vienna to Tel Aviv. The plane landed at Lod (later Ben Gurion Airport) and the terrorists threatened to blow up the airplane with its passengers.
(For the British pilot, Reginald Levy, it was an especially bad day: His wife was aboard the plane, and he was celebrating his 50th birthday.)
Israeli commandos quickly moved into action. First, they snuck under the plane to deflate its tires and disable its hydraulic systems.
Then, the commandos donned white overalls and disguised themselves as airplane mechanics. Ostensibly coming to "help" repair the plane, they successfully reached the plane without raising suspicion. They then quickly removed the Boeing 707's emergency exit doors and stormed the plane.
Within minutes it was all over. Two hijackers were killed and two others ― both women ― were captured. All the passengers were rescued.
Two of the commandos, Benjamin Netanyahu and Ehud Barak, went on to become Prime Minister of Israel. Netanyahu's brother, Yonatan (Yoni), also wanted to participate in the operation, but was refused on the grounds that two brothers should not be in danger on the same day. As it turns out, Bibi was wounded during the rescue operation and had to be evacuated. "I saw Yoni running toward me," he recalls. "When he saw that I have a big hole on the side of my face, a wide smile appeared on his. 'You see, I told you, you shouldn't have gone'."
Yoni was killed four years later in the Entebbe raid.
This week, at an event commemorating the 40th anniversary of the Sabena rescue, Netanyahu put Israel's fight against terror into perspective: "Ultimately, no one will defend the Jews if the Jews do not protect themselves. This is the cardinal rule."

Badges of Fury (不二神探)
A crime thriller featuring martial arts superstar Jet Li (李連杰), who plays veteran police officer Huang. His partner is young buck Wang (played by Wen Zhang, 文章) who is constantly getting the two into hot water. There are echoes of the Bad Boys and Lethal Weapon franchises in the mix of high-octane action and buddy movie humor. For those looking to balance out the muscular antics of Li and his police pal, there is also Liu Shishi (劉詩詩), Michelle Chen (陳妍希) and Liu Yan (柳岩), who provide plenty of eye candy and cross-Strait appeal. The story, as far as it goes, involves the duo, who are forced to go undercover to trace a killer, entering the glamorous world of aspiring movie star Liu, and engaging in some very improbable wire-assisted combats with various bad guys. This is the third collaboration between Li and Wen as a martial arts duo, and the film is helped by the good chemistry between the two.
Caught in the Web (搜索)
Based on an award-winning Internet novel, Caught in the Web is this year's nomination from China for Best Foreign Language Film at the Oscars. The story that starts with a seemly minor infringement of civic etiquette — a young woman refusing to give up her bus seat to an elderly man, caught on video and posted online by an intern journalist — sparks a public outcry and shakes up the lives of the young woman (Gao Yuanyuan, 高圓圓), the intern journalist (Wang Luodan, 王珞丹) and many of their friends and associates. Directed by Chen Kaige (陳凱歌), the creator of classics such as Farewell My Concubine and self-indulgent dross such as The Promise, Caught in the Web shows, despite its heavily melodramatic tone, a certain edginess by being rooted in the digitally savvy, status conscious and wealthy new China.
The Internship
The first problem with The Internship is that it is a bit too much like a two-hour commercial for Google. The second problem is that Vince Vaughn and Owen Wilson have done this comedy duo before, and better. The third problem is that director Shawn Levy (Night at the Museum, Date Night) mistakes persistent efforts at charm as a substitute for actual humor. And I could go on, and on, and on. Two middle-aged goofballs find their careers in marketing obliterated by technology, and then find themselves in an intern program for Google as it selects the best and brightest. They form a team with a bunch of other losers, and inevitably, find new self-belief as they struggle against hopeless odds and a total disconnect with the modern digital world. You know the rest.
Monsters University
If you loved Monsters Inc then you will love Monsters University, a prequel with attitude, that happily covers much the same ground as the original film, without much originality or new inspiration but with plenty of energy and good humor. Solid craftsmanship ensures that most audiences are unlikely to be disappointed, and a voice cast that includes Billy Crystal, John Goodman, Steve Buscemi and Helen Mirren provides a depth of characterization that is constantly entertaining. On the other hand, for fans of Pixar's groundbreaking early work, Monsters University might disappoint, for though it is a return to form following the failure of Cars 2, it is a long way from the cutting edge of animation filmmaking that it once inhabited.

New Humble Bundle Is Windows Only, DRM Games 553
jbernardo writes "After all the indie, multi-platform (including 4 for android) and DRM free releases, the latest Humble Bundle release is a polarizing one. It features non-indie games, it is Windows only, and the games are saddled with DRM. There is already a very vocal discussion on the Humble Bundle Google+ thread, but it seems it is selling well."

An innovative Israeli start-up company came up with a great idea in 2010, which it dubbed GetTaxi. The idea is simple and convenient: the GetTaxi mobile app allows you to order a taxi, pay for the ride, rate the driver, and even leave a tip. For the drivers, it offer the convenience of automation, handling the billing, and notifying drivers of potential nearby clients.
This start-up has been so successful, it has reached a million users, making 20,000 orders a day to 6000 drivers, in 20 cities, not to mention, raising $42 million in funding.
But the Israeli tax authority may have just killed this enterprising young start-up.
Last week, the tax authority concluded its investigation of 89 businesses in various sectors. A team of 102 investigators managed to collect about $2.2 million from these businesses, which had under-reported their income.
One sector the team investigated were taxi drivers, traditionally a cash business. But the tax folks had a great idea. They subpoenaed GetTaxi's internal files, obtaining the records of some three thousand Israeli taxi drivers who used the GetTaxi service. The team then targeted 50 of them, according to a report in Globes.
They compared the orders listed in GetTaxi, and the income the taxi drivers reported, and found that most of the drivers had not recorded all their journeys.
Most of the drivers ended up with a simple fine, some of the more serious cases are undergoing further investigation.
Tax Authority chief Moshe Asher told Globes, "The Tax Authority is keeping its finger on the trigger and uses all technological means to make certain that all citizens and companies pay the true amount of tax and do not put the tax burden on law-abiding citizens."
In the process, the same tax authority possibly just destroyed a law-abiding start-up company, which had a promising future.
Its unlikely Israeli taxi drivers will continue to completely trust GetTaxi with their business, and that could affect not only GetTaxi's revenue, but even a future exit or IPO, potentially killing the goose that could have laid the golden income tax egg GetTaxi would have brought in.
But Israelis are a resourceful people. We'll have to see how each side responds to this challenge.
Not to worry though, in New York and other major cities, the company continues to do well, and the Israeli tax authority is not likely to have a chilling effect on its operation. The IRS is simply less fiercely dedicated than its Israeli counterpart.
True story: A few years ago, a falafel booth owner was approached by a man from a yeshiva, who inquired if Shlomi were willing to donate to the yeshiva the edges from the pita he cuts off when he makes each falafel sandwich? It would feed poor students, the man explained, and help cut back on the yeshiva's costs.
Shlomi agreed. It's a good deed, and he had nothing to do with all those pita edges other than dump them in the trash. How many garlic bread crisps could he possibly make anyway?
A few months later, Shlomi and other falafel and shawarma (meat gyro) vendors found themselves inside the offices of Mas Hachnasa, the Israeli income tax authority.
They were surprised to see, sitting opposite them, the man from the yeshiva to which they had all been donating their pita edges, supposedly.
They were even more surprised with the man pulled out all the pita edges the vendors had donated to him, and said the number of edges that he, a tax investigator collected, exceeded the number of individual portions they had reported.
Needless to say, falafel and shawarma stores in Israel today slit the pita open, rather than cut off the top. There's no evidence left behind that way.

Father charged with child abuse; authorities say stepmother has not been arrested because she is hospitalized after suicide attempt
At a news conference Thursday afternoon, Sheriff Tom Knight and Capt. Jeff Bell explained why Melissa Stoddard's stepmother, Misty Stoddard, has not been arrested in the 11-year-old's death.
Misty Stoddard is in an undisclosed hospital, unavailable to investigators. After she learned detectives were investigating herself and her common-law husband, Kenneth, for aggravated child abuse, she tried to kill herself.
Misty Stoddard is also pregnant.
Neither Knight nor his chief of detectives held back their impressions of the case.
"It's a horrible crime against an 11-year-old child," Knight said. "As parents, we can never understand why adults abuse a child."
"In 30 years, I can't think of another case where it's so blatant," Bell said.
Both men explained that additional arrests and more serious charges -- including murder -- are likely.
Charging someone with murder, they said, is a "complex process" that requires detailed input from physicians, the medical examiner and the State Attorney's Office.
For now, they said, the couple is not in a position to abuse anyone.
"I feel very good we have Kenneth Stoddard locked up in our jail where he belongs," Knight said.
Bell said that Kenneth Stoddard and his ex-wife, Lisha, had two children, Melissa and her 15-year-old brother. Both of these children are autistic.
Misty Stoddard, Melissa's stepmother, had two children from a previous relationship.
She and Kenneth Stoddard had three children together.
None of the other children showed any signs of abuse, sheriff's officials say.
Melissa came to live with them about three months ago, as part of a consensual custody agreement between Kenneth and his ex-wife.
"She was healthy when she got here," Knight said.
He and Bell, both clearly uncomfortable, described the devices Melissa's father and stepmother used at their home, which Bell said were "more torture than treatment."
They would allegedly strap her to a plywood board that had holes drilled through it for rope restraints.
Duct tape, they said, was a "frequently used method of restraint."
Behind the home was a fenced area, which the other children had called a corral, where Melissa was fed.
The young girl lost more than 20 pounds during her three-month stay, they said.
"I can't think of any circumstance at all where this type of treatment would be justified," Bell said.
A phone call from a Sarasota sheriff's detective shattered Lisha Stoddard's world this week, when she learned that her daughter, 11-year-old Melissa, died Monday and that her ex-husband was charged with aggravated child abuse in the girl's death.
"I am sad, shocked, angry and confused," Lisha Stoddard said. "I can't believe Melissa is no longer with me. She was such a happy, joyful child."
Her mother described Melissa as a happy child who loved to climb trees, sing and swim.
"She was happy. She was very entertaining and always dancing," Lisha Stoddard said Thursday, from her home in North Carolina.
"Her favorite things in school were arts and crafts, but anything that had to do with plays or singing, she liked that too."
Melissa was autistic, but the disorder was not profound, her mother said.
"She had a mild form," her mother said. "Her biggest problem was verbal. She could speak, but not well. She had a little bit of behavioral issues, but not with me."
Melissa had been living in Sarasota with her father Kenneth Stoddard for the past three months. Lisha Stoddard would not say why.
Detectives said Melissa was routinely tied up and restrained by her father and her stepmother, Misty Stoddard, as punishment, and that they also put duct tape over her mouth to keep her from screaming and acting out. Deputies saw ligature marks on Melissa's arms and her legs that substantiated some of those claims.
The medical examiner's office has determined the cause of death to be hypoxia, a lack of oxygen to the brain.
Lisha Stoddard said she knew her ex-husband as a good parent, but that she knew little about her daughter's stepmother.
"I've only seen her once, never had any interactions with her," she said. "I only spoke to her once over the phone."
In the woods across the street from the Stoddard house, in the 9000 block of Delft Road, deputies found two boards that her siblings say the parents used to tie Melissa to, keeping her immobile for long periods of time. Her father and stepmother had also fashioned a helmet with restraint straps, deputies say, which was found in the same wooded place as the boards. Along with the boards and the helmet, deputies found several rolls of duct tape. Wads of used duct tape were found both inside the house and in a place outside the residence that the children called the "time out" area.
Stoddard and Melissa's stepmother gave differing accounts to investigators.
Melissa was unresponsive when emergency officials responded to the family home at 10 p.m. last Wednesday, Dec. 12. She was taken first by ambulance to Doctor's Hospital, then transferred to All Children's Hospital in St. Petersburg.
Melissa died at 5:39 a.m. on Monday, after five days of medical care. The other children, ages 4 through 15, have been placed in foster care.
Lisha Stoddard said she never witnessed any abuse while married to Kenneth.
"He was a good father, always good to them and her daughter," she said. "When we were married, he was always good to them."
As to the allegation her ex-husband tied up Melissa, her mother said, "I never saw that before."
The couple met at Camp Lejeune, while they were both serving in the Marine Corps. Lisha was trained as an electrician. Kenneth was an artilleryman. They married in 1998 and divorced in 2008.
They filed for bankruptcy protections, Chapter 7, in 2000.
They had two children together, Melissa and one son, age 13, who is struggling to accept the loss of his sister.
"They played together all the time. She could beat him up. He's a big softie," Lisha said.
Melissa attended Oak Park School, which is a public school for students with disabilities at 7285 Proctor Rd.
The child's death was tragic, especially so close to the holidays and the Newtown shootings, said school district spokesman Gary Leatherman.
"For us to lose a student in our system, it just has people sad. They're trying to cope with their own feelings."
He said he was not authorized to provide more information on Melissa, including her attendance, at her family's request.
Grief counselors are at Oak Park School today to talk to classmates of Melissa's and school staff, to help them deal with grief.

Shabazz Napier scored 25 points and Connecticut upset No. 14 Michigan State, 66-62, Friday night in the Armed Forces Classic at Ramstein Air Base in Germany. It was Kevin Ollie's first game as Huskies coach.
UConn led most of the way and by as many as 16 points in the first half of the game, which was played in a hangar at the United States' air base.
Keith Appling scored 17 points and Branden Dawson had 15 points and seven rebounds for Michigan State.
Gary Harris scored to pull the Spartans within 62-60, but Denzel Valentine and Appling each missed a shot in the last minute that would have tied the game, forcing Michigan State to foul.
Napier hit four free throws in the final 13 seconds to seal the win.
Ryan Boatright finished with 13 points despite rolling his ankle in the second half, and DeAndre Daniels added 12 for the Huskies.
The Spartans hit just one of their first eight shots, while Connecticut made nine of its first 10 and raced out to a 20-6 lead on a 3-pointer from Napier.
A steal by Napier and a lob to Boatright made it 32-18 for the Huskies, who stretched that to 16. The Spartans closed the half on a 10-2 run, but trailed, 40-33, at intermission.
Boatright rolled his left ankle less than three minutes into the second half and was hobbled the rest of the game.
The Huskies, who shot 46 percent while holding the Spartans to 40 percent, won despite being outrebounded, 34-25.
Ollie took over the program after Hall of Famer Jim Calhoun retired in September. He has been given only a one-year contract with a team that returns just five players who saw significant playing time last season.

You find life unfair? Try being and egg. You only get laid once, you only get eaten once, it takes four minutes to get hard, but only two to get soft, you share a box with eleven other guys, but what's worse was the only chick to sit on you is your mom!
Any thing with numbers in it.
Usually forum names don't have numbers in them, I mostly only see them in MMo's etc.
Yes it's a real username, I dunno if I spelled it right. He changed it though.
I mean how can he even remember that name?
Something with a celebrity's name shoved in with numbers like "justinbieberfan18383290" or something, Seriously pick a name that is a little more original. I know I'm being a bit hypocritical because I have ran into the whole problem of a name being taken before but I always come up with another one instead of adding fifteen numbers at the end.
"username" was the most stupid one so far.
XD My Xbox live gamertag is pretty bad. XD KENAVONLICTON. Not to say KENDARRR is a whole lot better. XD I like it though because it kinda reminds me of Godzilla.
names with XxX and numbers and things the person cant realate to!...and also the ones who wanna be snarky and jerks!

Yeah , as Luv said , usernames like XxXL33tSn1p3rXxX fill me with unmentionable anger.
Tough i do remember a few cool names , in games where it appears "X has been killed by Y", a few geniuses would pick names like "AGroupOfAngryMuslims", and it would appear "XxXL33tSn1p3rXxX has been killed by AGroupOfAngryMuslims"
The unreal is more powerful than the real, because nothing is as perfect as you can imagine it. because its only intangible ideas, concepts, beliefs, fantasies that last. stone crumbles. wood rots. people, well, they die. but things as fragile as a thought, a dream, a legend, they can go on and on. - Chuck Palahniuk

I am also annoyed with usernames that should be capitalized, two words that are stuck together, and ones that I simply just cannot read. There are so many possibilities for a nice, clean, original username and people go with *random example* sasukelvr257. Like... seriously? C'mon.
Worst usernames? Hmm. I'd say this is pretty bad..
Sasukerlover4455: Seen it before and was never fond of the idea of using that as a username.
Nonon Jakuzure - Best Kill la Kill baePretty damn great! #spoke2soonOta "The Cutest Otaku" 2016 - Lol, how's your account doing lately? Oh wait.
mmm.. worst usernames.. oh gosh..
I've ventured xats and stuff (trust me.. there's a thing called xats..) and some from MMO's (roleplaying multi player games.. idk the abbreviation really xD)
and I find the weirdest usernames there..
"SexyGirl16" (theyre usually in spanish.. xD)
"sasukelover103892" ....
"MountainDewYou" lol wut.. it was funny, I guess xD
"Godesque" (nothing wrong with that but.. the guy was a total snob.. :/)
a lot of usernames tend to annoy me due to the person who uses it..
names with numbers in them, I understand it your name is a code thing , but not if its "blablah19381" ....
The third eye of love♥ Koishi Komeiji ♥ Closed eyes of love
Let us seek that side.
Eh, I don't really read long, or ridiculous, or hard, or silly user names. Anything with:
- too much numbers (eg. Ham238taro0998)
- too many symbols (eg. [email protected]@@###$$$%%%^^^&&&*** (yes, there is a member with that name here))
- too much caps lock (eg. IANWAINE)
- silly meaning (eg. rubberbabybuggyjumper (again, there he's real, I don't like his name, but name aside, he's a nice member ))
- annoying words (eg. MrSexy, Prince_Charming)
That's pretty much what annoys me with usernames. Please pick one that I can actually pronounce. And not the silly ones. And also not the ones where you can boost your ego. Thank you.
>>Enter My World<<
Thanks to Ms Lucy for this awesome, funny gif.
The person that you are now is not the person that I used to know. You're becoming a stranger that I've never met before. Not liking the change though.
I don't think any SN's are stupid. I just like it when they are funny
Haha, you guys freekin hilareous! I once had a username "xlinkx717". Ahhh those where the shamfull days.
Hate usernames on call of duty games like; sexyxboxchick, iamacutegiirl, hotchiick8008. Those are the worst, no respect, no skill, no boyfriend.
Some feedback on my username prease? I wanna know what people think about it, and don't hold back.
Last edited by Explorer Oak; 04-23-2012 at 09:48 PM.
those who use number as alphabet in their username
it hurts my eye when reading it
Usernames with numbers, asterisks, hyphens, dots, brackets, slashes, tildes, etc.
I don't like ones with numbers. It just bugs me for some reason.
Mine is kinda lame.

Will this version of Soundwave prove SUPERIOR? Or will it be INFERIOR?
Long have Transformers fans hungered for a voyager representation of the Decepticon intelligence operative. For an all too brief second a slight Generation One update of him (just a recolored version of the Soundblaster mold which could hold two cassettes) came the Toys R Us exclusive. Not many could enjoy it because it was made in such limited quantities. Hasbro did re-release the figure as a SDCC exclusive but again only few could nab it. Then there's the Transformers: Dark of the Moon Voyager who was canceled just when he was set for release.
So you can easily see the drool from many a Transformer fan in anticipation of this version of Soundwave. In fact, this is the first version since Generation One to in fact have all his cassettes released: Laserbeak, Buzzsaw, Ratbat, Ravage, Rumble, and Frenzy (though VERY soon Takara will be releasing Masterpiece Soundwave which will have all save Ratbat). Another reason fans are salivating is unlike the current Transformer Prime Voyagers which run now around $29.99, this version (along with future releases of Grimlock and Blaster) will carry a nice $22.99 price tag while two pack accessories (Ratbat/Frenzy and Ravage/Rumble) will run $9.99. A nice deal wouldn't you say?
Now for the figure itself. The mold and design of the figure is amazing. It almost reminds me of the Voyagers from the Transformers Classics and Animated lines Hasbro released a few years ago. In fact, he easily stands with them and just towers over any of the more overpriced Transformers: Prime Voyagers. The light pipe on his head is just perfect, as is the articulation, which doesn't have any back clutter or solid joints that keep him from posing dynamically. Yes, you can pose him in the classic pose of him ejecting his tapes.
The gimmick: his back has a spring which can be pulled to load his tapes into his chest. If you press the button and then pull forward on the spring, the tapes will eject. It's an interesting gimmick that does work for the tapes save one (Ravage, more on him later). As for the question of how many tapes you can load in his chest? I could do three, but I heard it's possible to put four in.
For his vehicle mode, Soundwave is quite bulky, more so than the previous Deluxe adaptation of this figure. That's to be expected, though, given this is a Voyager class. The transformation from bot to vehicle is quite simple. The actual vehicle mode isn't bad, but I have to confess I love the Deluxe version's more just for the fact that you can put the shoulder accessory on the side of the vehicle, not the top as you have to for the Voyager class – it looks kinda awkward. Overall, it's still a nicely designed vehicle and for those classic G1 purists, there is a fan mode (not an official Hasbro approved transformation) were you can convert this figure into a boombox.
Accessory-wise, Soundwave comes just with Laserbeak, even though the box art on the back has him pictured with a pistol. Alas, the weapon was pulled last minute. He can hold the usual complement of Transformer weaponry from past lines. However, if you're looking for the accessory to give him, I suggest his old-school G1 pistol. I used my TRU exclusives and as you can see I'm quite pleased with those results. He can use his shoulder cannon, but come on...it looks so small when he wields it.
The only real accessory he has is Laserbeak, which is a fine molded update. The only problem with the figure is he lacks paint apps on his head. It's really the only major complaint I have with the pack: the lack of accessories and detail on the one we do get.
However, that is rectified once you purchase the remaining two packs of tapes. All four figures are nicely detailed (RatBat, unlike Laserbeak and Buzzsaw before him, actually has a finely painted face). Obviously, Rumble and Frenzy have a slight articulate edge over their companions and I'm actually surprised Hasbro gave them this given how cheap they've been on previous movie line sidekicks. Then there's Ravage, whom I have a slight love/hate relationship with. On one hand, Ravage is the most complex of the cassettes given he has the most bulk of the six. He has great details and Hasbro did give him some nice articulation. It's just I'm not really much a fan of his bot move. The whole tail section is quite flimsy and really can't snap in. So if you pick him up, he'll be flipping backwards in your hand. I know this was done so he could be the whole cassette, but when the other figures of the line have a straight out solid transformation and he doesn't? Well, I'm kind of disappointed with it. Still, if he's standing by himself, he is quite a dynamic figure.
It should be noted that along with the four figures, you get a VERY nicely detailed purple colored clear plastic case to house them if you don't want to burden your Soundwave. The craftsmanship of these cases are amazing and unlikely the flimsy and easily breakable TRU re-release, these are quite sturdy. They also make nice Energon cubes too, which Soundwave made in the cartoons. Okay, my inner geek can't help but enjoy that.
I have to say, Transformers: Fall of Cybertron Voyager Soundwave surprised me. I fully expected a cheap, poorly gimmicky, and rushed figure from Hasbro. Instead, I get a figure that fits perfectly in my Decepticon collection. His articulation and mold are just insane. If there's anything negative to him is he doesn't come with that many accessories. You have to buy the extra packs to do it. However, since this was originally what you had to do with Soundwave, well that's awesome. Again the pistol problem was a quick fix for me. Really the only issue if you don't want to buy this figure is that, Takara's Masterpiece Soundwave is on the horizon to be released. Regardless, this is an AMAZING Soundwave figure in his own right. For classic fans, or just fans of the character, this is a MUST HAVE figure. The accessories? Well, I like the Ratbat/Frenzy one the most. Again the Ravage/Rumble pack depends on if you just want to finish your collection. Then I'd say do it. This is one of those rare cases that Hasbro totally got things right. So my final verdict on this pack is:
Transformers Fall of Cybertron Voyager Soundwave: MUST BUY
Ratbat/Frenzy Two-Pack: MUST BUY
Ravage/Rumble: MUST BUY

ALBANY -- Five 3-year-olds, including a pair of runners that competed in both the California Derby and El Camino Real Derby, will meet Saturday at Golden Gate Fields in a $30,000 allowance race.
The one-mile test is the second race on a nine-race program that begins at 12:45 p.m. and features a carryover of $54,932 in the Pick Six. The Pick Six will be held on races four through nine and post time for the fourth is 2:18 p.m.
Unveiled Heat is the 2-to-1 second choice on the morning line and Cahill Chrome is the fourth choice in the field at 6-to-1. The 9-to-5 morning line favorite is Nonios, a Kentucky-bred colt by Pleasantly Perfect who made a winning debut at Golden Gate Fields on Feb. 11.
Nonios, trained by Jerry Hollendorfer, captured a six-furlong maiden allowance race by 2 1/4 lengths in 1:10.43 and figures to have no trouble stretching out to a mile. Jockey Russell Baze guided Nonios to his maiden score and is sticking with the horse that cost $73,000 as a 2-year-old.
Hollendorfer will also send out 8-to-1 outsider Red Danger, who won a one-mile starter allowance race under Baze on Jan. 29. Jockey David Lopez will replace Baze aboard Red Danger, who was purchased as a 2-year-old for $105,000.
Completing the field is Diamond of Blue, the 5-to-2 third choice. Diamond of Blue has won both of his starts in impressive fashion, and like Nonios, will race around two turns for the first time Saturday. Diamond of Blue will be ridden by his regular pilot, Kerwin John.

If I have to restart the Tomcat/Jetty/Jboss server, I restart 1 and after 1 is Online, I restart the second instance. It's perfect to aply the updates on java apps.

Hillsboro's champion
Seventh-grader wins world junior disc golf championship
Like many girls her age, Michelle Nava talks fast and laughs easily. She loves to draw, craft, read and spend time with friends. A seventh-grader at R.A. Brown Middle School in Hillsboro, Nava celebrated her 13th birthday last fall, and recently took up volleyball.
But one special thing sets Nava apart: She happens to be a world champion disc golfer. Last summer at the junior championships in Kansas, Nava dominated her age group, finishing 40 strokes ahead of the runner-up.
And in September, Nava placed second in the intermediate womens division at the 2013 U.S. Womens Disc Golf Championship. The competition was held at Pier Park in North Portland and at the Blue Lake Regional Park in Fairview Navas old stomping grounds. When she was learning the sport, her older brothers used to take her to Blue Lake.
Completed in 2012, the course is certified gold-level by the Professional Disc Golf Association for its combination of length, difficulty, equipment and design. It attracts international competitions, yet its also open to beginners, with each player vying to reach 18 targets in the fewest throws possible.
From an athletes standpoint, Nava said, the layout is amazing.
My favorite part of Blue Lake is how much land there is, how long each hole is, she said. Its one of the biggest courses in Oregon.
Navas father, Luis, said the course prepared his daughter to compete at an international level. During the championship round, she received advice from the sports biggest names.
I was close to crying, Nava said, because these were the people I saw on YouTube, and now they all know me.
For the Nava family, disc golf is more than a sport its also a bond. Michelle credits her success to her big brothers, one of whom placed seventh in the advanced mens division. The siblings practice together almost daily.
Theyre married; they have kids; they dont live close, Nava said. If it wasnt for disc golf, I wouldnt be seeing them at all.
Dad has a front row seat. Last summer, while Luis Nava watched his daughter play at local parks, he noticed how she taught other golfers kids and adults alike.
I was very excited, doing that with her. Shes learning how to do community service; how to do service for other people, Luis Nava said. Its something that she loves.
Another thing that caught his attention: the way the sport brings people together. As he sees it, disc golf is cheap, easy and inclusive.
I saw entire families playing, Luis said. Thats something you cant do with other sports.
Luis was so impressed, he decided he would learn how to play. He borrowed old discs from his kids and got out on the course.
Nava said her dad is doing well for a beginner. To hear her talk about disc golf, you could easily mistake her for somebody much older. Shes articulate and focused, and has a clear grasp of her ability and drive. In reality, shes a kid who just entered middle school, years younger than most people who are serious in her sport.
Nava said she enjoys the looks on adults faces when they realize her skill level.
Theyre surprised when I teach them something new, she said.
Luis Nava has mixed feelings about his daughter competing with grown women.
Shell be in categories like women intermediate; women advanced, Luis said. I dont like too much how shes maturing beyond her age, but on the other hand, shes getting better and better. Its amazing how shes advancing.
Nava said she loves taking her friends to the disc golf course, and shes trying to get more kids from her school to start playing.
Theyre all doing things like hip-hop and basketball, and Im practicing disc golf four or five days a week, she said.
But Nava recognizes that, given her talent and age, she has a serious shot at a future in the sport she loves.
I see it being a part of my life forever. I want to go touring. I see my idols winning these big tournaments. I want that to be me one day, Nava said. If I just keep practicing, I can get there.

HOUSTON (AP) - The Houston Astros opened the season by scoring eight runs.
They haven't been able to hit much of anything since.
A day after Yu Darvish came within one out of a perfect game, Alexi Ogando and four Texas relievers shut out the Astros again, combining for a five-hitter in the Rangers' 4-0 win over Houston on Wednesday.
It's the most strikeouts a pitching staff has combined for in the first three games of a season in major league history, and the most since Cleveland fanned 42 in the first three of the 1966 season.
The Rangers are also the fourth team in major league history since 1916 to start the season by striking out 10 or more batters in each of their first three games.
Carlos Pena, one of Houston's only veterans, said it's important not to make too much of what happened in the last two games.
``Just a couple of rough games. You just leave it at that,' he said. ``They pitched well. We weren't facing easy ... pitchers. These guys are good. It's no secret they have a pretty good pitching staff.'
Lance Berkman doubled in a run for the Rangers a day after they blanked Houston 7-0 behind Darvish's nearly historic gem.
``Yesterday, it was more about their guy, and today it was more about our guys,' Houston manager Bo Porter said of the strikeouts. ``We just had our guys expanding the zone way too often. We need to make an adjustment and do a better job. The fastballs that we had an opportunity to do something with, we either fouled them off or didn't get them (in play).'
Ogando (1-0) allowed four hits with a career-high 10 strikeouts in 6 1-3 innings. The young and inexperienced Astros have struck out 43 times in their first three games.
Relievers Robbie Ross, Tanner Scheppers and Michael Kirkman allowed one hit combined in the final 1 2-3 innings. Closer Joe Nathan struck out the side in the ninth.
Houston starter Philip Humber (0-1) yielded five hits and a run in 5 2-3 innings in his Astros debut.
Nelson Cruz and A.J. Pierzynski had two hits apiece and drove in a run each for the Rangers.
Ogando returned to the rotation this season after spending last year in the bullpen, where he had a career-high 58 relief appearances.
He retired nine straight Astros before Pena singled with two outs in the sixth inning. Chris Carter lined out to end that inning, and Houston's next hit, a one-out single in the seventh by Justin Maxwell, chased Ogando.
Humber had retired 10 of 11 batters before walking Berkman to start the sixth inning. Adrian Beltre and David Murphy followed with back-to-back singles to load the bases. Nelson Cruz grounded into a double play that sent Berkman home to give Texas a 1-0 lead and chase Humber.
``You're never happy unless you win the game; it's a team effort,' Humber said. ``Walking Berkman there to lead off the sixth kind of cost us there. I will try to be better next time, just like I know we all will.'
He was replaced by Wesley Wright, who retired Pierzynski to limit the damage
Humber, who threw a perfect game for the White Sox last season, helped nearby Rice University win a national championship in 2003.
Berkman's RBI double to left-center in the eighth inning made it 2-0. Cruz singled in a run before Beltre scored on a sacrifice fly by Pierzynski to push the lead to 4-0. Carter got an error on the play when he missed the catch despite being right under it.
After going 26 outs before getting a hit Tuesday night, the Astros got their first knock out of the way immediately on Wednesday when Jose Altuve hit a leadoff double.
They weren't able to build off the strong start though, as Ogando retired the next seven batters, with four strikeouts.
Humber got into trouble in the second when he allowed consecutive one-out singles to Cruz and Pierzynski. He struck out Mitch Moreland before plunking Leonys Martin in the right foot to load the bases. But he was able to retired Rick Ankiel to escape the jam.
The Astros haven't scored since the eighth inning of an 8-2 win in the season opener on Sunday night, when they overcame for a night having the majors' lowest payroll and a roster full of replacement-level players.
NOTES: Both teams are off on Thursday. Texas LHP Derek Holland takes the mound against Jason Vargas on Friday in the Rangers' home opener against the Angels. Houston continues its homestand on Friday when Brad Peacock faces Oakland's Dan Straily in the opener of a three-game series. ... The two triples Andrus had on Tuesday night tied a franchise record for triples in a game. It was the first time it had been done since Michael Young had two on Sept. 3, 2002 at Baltimore. Andrus has 25 career triples, tied for fifth most in team history.

COLUMBUS — The state attorney general's office has received nearly 3,300 untested rape kits from Ohio law enforcement agencies and found hundreds of matches in testing those kits for DNA.
Attorney General Mike DeWine says that Ohio's crime lab has tested more than 1,300 of those kits for DNA, and about 400 resulted in a match.
DeWine mounted the effort to review untested rape kits in December 2011. To prevent delays in analyzing active cases, his office brought in four additional scientists.
The lab tests the oldest kits first because many of them are almost two decades old. Ohio law has a 20-year statute of limitations for rape.
DeWine says the results have helped law enforcement solve old cases and bring justice to victims of sexual assault.

Unfortunately, it is hard to find someone that has not been affected by cancer in some way these days. My grandpa is a cancer survivor, my aunt and uncle are currently fighting cancer, and this past May one of my best friends, Samantha, lost her battle with clear cell sarcoma and passed away at only 21 years old. Watching her fight cancer has inspired me to make a difference in any way that I can. She was the most amazing person I have ever had the pleasure of knowing and I cannot wait until the day that the world is finally cancer free and no one has to suffer or lose loved ones to this disease anymore.
Relay for Life is held at Bryant University's track on April 12-13. It is an overnight event that signifies different stages of the fight against cancer that a patient experiences while undergoing treatment.
I am dedicating my Relay for Life to Samantha this year and I hope that you will consider supporting me in this wonderful cause that is so close to my heart! Relay for Life was Samantha's favorite campus event and it will be so hard to be there without her this year but I know that she will be proud of everything that I, and my team, are doing in honor of her as we participate in our final Relay for Life at Bryant!
I am on the committee for both Colleges Against Cancer and Relay for Life at Bryant and have been for the past four years.
I have tripled my fundraising goal from last year for this year's event and have been working extremely hard for this cause for the past year, so I truly hope that you are able to support me! Any donation is greatly appreciated, and I hope that you will be able to join me in the fight against cancer this year.
Online donations can be made through the following link: main.acsevents.org/goto/evamahan by clicking the "Donate Now" button. Any cash or check donations can be mailed to: Eva Mahan, 1150 Douglas Pike #3246, Smithfield, RI 02917. Checks can be made out to the American Cancer Society. If you have any questions, please feel free to email me at email@example.com.
Thank you so much for your consideration and support in the fight against cancer. You are helping to make a difference in so many lives and we are all working towards the ultimate goal of living in a cancer-free world!

Pioneer turns out to be a pioneer once again in the optical storage market with the release of the new BDC-202 (OEM) or BDC-S02 (retail) drive. Being among the first manufacturers to have released a Blu-Ray burner, the Japanese company decided to incorporate the Blu-Ray playback capabilities of the high-end Blu-Ray drives, onto a SATA DVD burner. The BDC-202 is the first DVD Burner that offers BD-ROM/R/RE reading support, providing users with a cost-effective option when it comes to experiencing Blu-ray entertainment on their home PC.
The IDE drive supports Blu-Ray reading at 5x, as well as BD-ROM DL at 2x. The writing speed remains at
12x for DVD+R/-R, 4x for DVD-R DL/+R DL and 5x for DVD-RAMs.
- Drive Features & Specification
- Additional Specs Include:
For testing in our labs, we received a Pre-production sample of the Pioneer BDC-202. This does not in any way mean that our drive lacks any features compared to the final, production model - it just indicates that there might be room for performance improvements before the product reaches the store shelves.
The retail version of the drive, will be available in both black and beige. Our sample (photo below) was manufactured in April of 2007. On the drive's front panel, we can see the BD-ROM DVD/CD Writer logo, as well as the "Blu-Ray disc", "DVD+RW" and "DVD Multi Recorder" official logos.
Let's take a look at the internal components of the drive. Note that opening the drive case voids the warranty and should be avoided.
The "heart" of the drive is the RENESAS R8J32500FPV chip.

LAS VEGAS (AP) - Nevada public safety officials say they think the state is better prepared for disasters and diseases than the low ranking it received in a national report.
State emergency management chief Chris Smith and public safety director Chris Perry said Wednesday they think the annual "Ready or Not?" report sells the state short.
Nevada tied with Colorado, Georgia, Hawaii and New Jersey - above only Kansas and Montana on a 10-point scale.
The state officials cite efforts like sandbagging and resource deployment earlier this month ahead of predictions that a wet storm would cause flooding along the Truckee River.
The report by the nonpartisan Trust for America's Health and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation points to gaps in readiness for extreme weather emergencies, bioterrorist threats and serious disease outbreaks.

Photojournalist Danfung Dennis has captured the brutalities of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan for major publications, including The New York Times, Time magazine, The Guardian and The Washington Post.
Inspired by these experiences, Dennis embedded with the U.S. Marines Echo Company in Afghanistan and created the documentary Hell And Back Again.
The documentary focuses on the story of U.S. Marine Sgt. Nathan Harris. Harris' hip was injured by fire from a Taliban machine gun. The film follows his transition back to life in North Carolina.
Dennis talks with NPR's Neal Conan about the process of directing the film, now nominated for an Oscar for Best Documentary Feature.

Education and business officials nodded Tuesday as their locally elected congressman discussed workforce development reform in Thomasville.
Education and business officials nodded Tuesday as their locally elected congressman discussed workforce development reform in Thomasville.
Rep. Richard Hudson, R-8th, said millions of jobs are unfilled across the nation because of a skills gap that needs fixing.
Federal workforce development programs are a mess, he said, and create a maze of perplexity for job seekers.
"Frankly, it's a broken system," Hudson said during a roundtable discussion at Davidson County Community College. "There are over 50 different programs and they all have different access points. It's confusing for employees looking for training to find out how to access them. Frankly, 50 percent of the people that get through the program don't have the skills they need to get the job they are looking for."
Hudson co-sponsored a bill passed in the House last month, a measure known as the SKILLS Act, which would combine various federal funding streams for workforce development into block grants that states can use on their own terms.
The Supporting Knowledge in Lifelong Skills Act (SKILLS), introduced by Rep. Virginia Foxx, R-5th, would eliminate or consolidate 35 federal programs and create a "Workforce Investment Fund," which would act as a single source of support for employers and job seekers, according to the bill.
Opponents of the bill, including the Obama administration, say the bill would shortchange special populations that receive support through some of the workforce programs, including veterans.
"Folks on the other side were saying, 'You're not guaranteeing that this specific type of person is going to get their training,'" Hudson said. "I said, 'Look, I trust the people in Davidson County to figure out the training for the folks in Davidson County much better than somebody up here that's never heard of Denton. It's really two different philosophies. They ether think that we are either too dumb to figure it out or don't care enough to figure it out."
Burr Sullivan, president of the Lexington Chamber of Commerce, said the county needs money pushed down closer to the community college level to help fill a need for qualified workers.
"These companies just can't find the people that are trained properly for what they consider entry-level jobs," Sullivan said. "I particularly like the sound of your skills act. These three public schools systems and the college are the answer to bridge that gap. Education is what it's going to take."
Earlier this year, state lawmakers also filed bills that would change the makeup of workforce development boards across North Carolina. The legislation would reduce the number of workforce development areas across the state from 23 to 16 and cause nine existing areas to disband, including Davidson County.
Davidson County commissioners and Thomasville City Council both approved resolutions against the bills, which proponents say would strategically align workforce areas to optimize funding.
Hudson, a freshman congressman from Concord, is on a "Jobs and Education" tour throughout North Carolina's 8th district and will visit community colleges in Richmond, Rowan, Randolph, Stanly and Montgomery counties.
Hudson toured several DCCC buildings, including the college's advanced manufacturing lab, during his visit.
Second-year logistics technology students Cody Canales and Corey Harris showed Hudson how they train on the same sophisticated machines that are used in the industry.
Both students, who graduate in May, are confident they will be able to find jobs.
"I'm always certain because this is such a changing field and that's always a need for these types of employees," Canales said.
Hudson said he was "impressed" by the technology on the campus and by the various career pathways being created by initiatives like the Yadkin Valley Career Academy and other partnerships between the college and the county's three school systems.
"There are some jobs out there, and if we can put that dream in the heart of our young folks and let them see that path and opportunity, it's so important," Hudson said. "There's a whole generation out there that is being robbed of the American dream because they don't see that you can be anything you can be if you work at it and take advantage of the opportunities that are out there."

So who has converted them to lipo and why?
All I see is the need to rebalance and mess around with another battery. Nimh last months anyway so what's the advantage?
Signature removed due to excess awesomeness.
Anyone? Anyone? Bueller? Anyone?
Signature removed due to excess awesomeness.
I don't see any need. I use rechargeable in my tqi and haven't needed to charge them yet. You would need a low voltage alarm and a voltage reducer to get the right voltage to the transmitter anyway. Seems like more work than it's worth. Now, for the 8 battery transmitters, that could be a viable option.
I reject your reality and substitute my own!
I use NIMH AA rechargeable, they last forever, also the regular AA batts. I think you can use Life packs which is 6v, or if you want a lipo you will need a voltage regulator. IMO there is no need.
Those are great answers guys thanks. That's pretty much what I thought, I have just bought an 8 cell tx but for how long the nimh cells will last I don't think I could be bothered to charge/ balance/ storage an additional lipo every run.
Thanks guys.

Anyone know the MAX voltage the TQI 2.4 can handle ? interested in putting a 6.6v pack in it.
not sure, but what I just looked
what is the voltage of aa battery
1.5v x 4 = 6v
Would you go flip my truck back over??
That would be a nice to know. Traxxas sells a 5Cell NIMH pack as an option which at full charge would be around 6.9V and 6.6V life pack full charge volatge is about 7.2V. I dont think 0.3V will make much of a difference.
spec page
The TQi 2.4GHz transmitter requires only four AA alkaline batteries to deliver premium long-range control. That saves money, and reduces the weight of the transmitter for all-day driving comfort. The Docking Base also accepts an accessory rechargable NiMH Power Pack battery pack part #3037.

I doubt you will have issues but understand your concern.
I run a life battery in my Futaba 4PKs, works great. It comes stock with the 6V nimh. Pretty much the same scenario. Whether not you need to is personal preference. For me I did so because I want max transmit range and not having to worry about charging the radio battery. For the TQI it would mean no more having to worry about AA batteries and spares and the same extremly long run time.
I don't know much about life batteries, do they need to be put into storage mode after use like lipos?
Signature removed due to excess awesomeness.
So you can charge them, put them in the tx and forget about them til they run flat? Even if it takes months?
Signature removed due to excess awesomeness.
Yep. I generally don't leave batteries in mine when not in use for more than a few days but the life batteries are supposed to hold a charge without loosing any of it for a year or more.

I use a 1500mah 3s pack in my futuba 3pm....lasts a lot longer than the alkalines and nimh batteries I used in the past. The 3pm displays the battery voltage on the screen and will also alert you when the voltage gets down around 10 volts which is perfect for a 3s lipo.
I also use lipo's in my heli tx's which drain batteries a lot faster due to much stronger signal strength. On some of the newer aircraft tx's that have gone to 4 AA's (instead of 8) my 2s lipo lasts about twice as long as aa's do.

-Slash 4x4
This is great advice fellas thanks, so I can see that lipos are too inconvenient for a tx but a 3s life that you can just forget about sounds like a good idea.
I run an ansmann w6 that takes 8 AA's, it's already set up for lipo use having a plug in the battery compartment. I can see me putting a life 3s pack in there.
Picture of BANNED product removed
8 AAs is 12v, a 3s life pack is 9.9v. Will this cause any issues? Less range etc?

Im sure it will decrease the transmit range by some but whether or not it has any adverse effect is on your radio and your use.
You might want to remove that photo, that is a prohibited brand here and if you dont do it a Mod will be by shortly to edit it for you and give you a warning in the least.
Was refering a 3s lipo 11.1v
I can say 2 things:
I have a LOSI mini8 with stock tx. Crap tx. Range was terrible. It had 4*1.5v baterys. SO i went with li-fe 6.6v baterys and range had improved by 20meters. And i charge only 1 time in a year after that! :P
Got a better system later... but having those life 6.6v laying around had helped!
Being an old fart from the miniz scene i had a tx with 8*1.2v hand that was a nightware... had to charge month after month and removing and puting those 8 1.2v was PITA. SO :
-Life 9.9v batery on it! It last 2 years playing almost everyday!
And got more storys... a Sanwa with 8*1.2v same story... puted a 3s 11.1v and i charge that only one time in 2 years!
Hope that rings some bells!

I'm new to multi-boot systems and I need some help and advice on 'how to...' and on deciding the best way to configure my system(s).
Please bear with me as I have quite a few questions...
Re: HDD partitions >>
1. Should '/boot' be on the first primary partition (e.g. sda1 = 100MB ext4 /boot)?
-- is this different to the MBR?
2. Do all the distro's I install share the /boot partition?
-- If so how do I set it up so it doesn't get overwritten by each one in turn because otherwise it ends up that I can only boot the last distro I install?
3. Can all the distro's safely share the same swap space partition? (I'm aware of the risk when hibernating one dist then booting another)
My thoughts/proposed partition config is as follows:
- Code: Select all
Drive | Mount | Format | Size (MB)
sda1 /boot ext4 100
| -- swap linux swap 4096 (4GiB)
| -- /home ext4 51,200 (50GiB)
| -- /var ext4 10,240 (10GiB)
| -- /Mint13 ext4 20,480 (20GiB)
| -- /Fedora17 '' ''
| -- /Mageia2 '' ''
| -- /SuSE12 '' ''
| -- ...etc...
4. Is this a viable structure?
5. How much space should I give to /var?
6. How much space should I give to each distro?
My thought was have my swap, /home and /var closest to the spindle (I'm using a mechanical HDD not SSD!) then have my distro's each with their own root partition.
One final question I'd like to know is...
7. is it possible to have a virtual machine (i.e. using VirtualBox) run a 'real' installed distro from a HDD partition as a VM inside one of the other distro's?
I realise that I could just install one 'base' distro then install all of the others as purely virtual machines. But I'd want to be able to keep their VHD's on a separate partition so as not to fill my /home drive with huge files. Also my reason for NOT using VM's from the off is performance. My CPU does not support native virtualisation technologies so I'm worried that if I ran all of my secondary distro's as VM's then they wouldn't perform as well.
Thanks so much for sticking with me and for any help/advice anyone is able to offer.
Kindest regards,

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - Quarterback Mason Mills threw three touchdown passes and the San Diego defense stifled Jacksonville University for a 24-7 Pioneer Football League at D. B. Milne Field here Saturday.
The win snapped the Dolphins' FCS best 16-game home win streak that stretched back to 2009. The home loss was only the fifth in coach Kerwin Bell's six years at JU.
Mills' touchdown passes propelled the Toreros (4-3, 3-1) to a 21-0 lead and the USD defense didn't allow the JU offense past midfield until the third quarter.
The first strike from Mills was a 39-yarder to tight end Kyle Lokanc with 6:12 to go in the first quarter which ended a seven-play, 75-yard drive.
In the second quarter, Mills found junior wide receiver Sam Hoekstra on a 26-yard pass for a 14-0 lead and fullback Lawrence Larivee was the recipient of a 34-yard scoring toss with 8:52 to go in the third. Mills ended the game going 15-for-29 for 217 yards and one interception.
The Dolphins, (6-2, 4-1) suffered a blow on the second play of the second series when quarterback Kade Bell went down with a knee injury. His replacement, sophomore Trevius Folston, completed 23 of 44 passes for 186 yards.
Folston and tight end Andy Robustelli teamed on a 30-yard touchdown pass in the third quarter for the sole JU score.
"That doesn't happen too often around here, but we got it handed to us,'' Kerwin Bell said. "For Kade to go down really hit us in the stomach and we didn't do a good job overcoming that. We've got to make a three-game run to finish and if we do that we'll be in the championship race.''
San Diego's Fred Obi led the defensive charge with 10 tackles and JU safety Jordan Dewhirst had a like number for his team. JU punter Kody Thomas punted nine times and averaged a healthy 38.1 yards with the kicks.
JU has a bye next week before traveling to Butler while San Diego looks to extend its 10-game home win streak against Dayton.

but whenever I read his name, my mind keeps wandering to Stephen R. Donaldson novels and off the point he's trying to make.
I just keeping thinking it is a Ubuntu release
He really seems down-to-earth and balanced, and all the stuff he's done have been spot-on so far.
but a great idea and an important concept no doubt
we used to do that with supermarket loyalty cards. Nice!
not trying to be brash, or curt or whatever, but can someone explain the larger implications?
what does this mean for me (the average non-very-savvy-when-it-comes-to-security person)?
should I stop using tor (is tor pptp?)?
should I stop using vpn, or wpa wireless networks?
this actually doesn't seem that interesting, I mean, if you use a cloud-based cracker, couldn't you have submitted the wpa handshake there already?
PPTP is a type of VPN still used by some companies and included with windows...
MS-CHAPv2 is the default / most common authentication option when using PPTP with windows. Thus organizations still using PPTP for remote access may be at risk.
PPTP using EAP-TLS is still okay, right?
yes this is a CHAP issue
If I understand it correctly, one implication is that if you:
1. use Micrsoft Windows' built-in VPN client (Network Connections -> Connect to...)
2. to connect to Microsoft Windows' built-in VPN server ("Remote Access")
3. and someone snifs your traffic (like on a public Starbucks hot-spot)
then they can decrypt that VPN traffic.
One would assume that usage of Microsoft's built-in stuff is pretty prevalent, so the implications of this are pretty big.
One would assume that usage of Microsoft's built-in stuff is pretty prevalent, so the implications of this are pretty big.
so too then is it relatively easy to replace, with a windows update rollout.
if it was only reading the VPN traffic i wouldn't be worried about it so much. the larger implication is that it derives the user credentials.
having on the session traffic leaves it open to only momentary chance that the person would get some juicy data.. but having the user credentials allows for far more issues.
For VPN use IPSEC, not PPTP, either with certificate-based outer tunnel, or with an outer tunnel using a PSK that you trust will not be compromised. The latter is near impossible in enterprise setups, so the certificate approach is superior, albeit harder to administer.
WPA2-PSK is insecure due to a separate issue entirely (see Firesheep).
For WPA2-Enterprise the MSCHAPv2 session is usually wrapped in a PEAP (SSL) session. This should be safe as long as your client is configured to validate the server-side certificate only against CAs that are not likely to be compromised (i.e. a rougue cert generated). Preferably, one should also validate the certificate's subject (usually the name of the RADIUS server). If this is not the case (and Apple makes this particularly hard, especially on the new Lion setup that requires an 802.1x profile generated by a Lion Server installation) then an MITM attack is possible, where someone pretends to be your AP+RADIUS, and since your client does not check the certificate they offer, it will happily start the MSCHAPv2 session with them, at which point the exchange becomes vulnerable to attempts to hijack it.
WPA2 using EAP-TLS with certificates is safe, but does not offer the ability to check user passwords, so it is usually only favored by institutions that do not worry too much about stolen equipment. (Given that everyone seems happy to let the OS remember their passwords, however, the added benefits of the password becomes dubious.) WPA2 with EAP-TTLS should be unaffected by any of this. The precautions about validating server certs remain relevant, however.
It is possible to configure WPA2-Enterprise with just a raw MSCHAPv2 exchange and no protective PEAP wrapper around it. That would be what the OP's tool is for. It would also be completely insane, and given many native clients do not support that, rather a lot of effort to invest in being insane.
WPA2-PSK is insecure due to a separate issue entirely (see Firesheep).
Citation needed.
Not to be harsh, but WPA2-PSK has NOTHING to do with firesheep. JUST NOTHING.
Firesheep is a takover of a non SSL wrapped session. So, someone on a non-switched ethernet network can take-over a session. Same is true for any shared medium network, like wireless.However, since WPA2 uses weak individual session encryption you can perhaps determine the PWMK and then sniff all other sessions.
But to determine the PWMK you need
To amplify that:
If the attacker already knows the PSK, then your whole network is screwed and individual session security, while important, becomes far less important.
So, yes, individual sessions are important - but this really isn't any/much different than ARP poisoning on a switched network. You shouldn't rely on such methods for real security.
However, for small networks - ergo home/small business networks - using WPA2-PSK is perfectly fine - just be careful who you share the key with, just like you'll be
I'm sorry, for some reason I misremembered that the Tews/Beck WPA-PSK cracking material had been integrated with Firesheep. I was thinking of the latter.
poor guy who is actually more well renound for deciding to help wikileaks and spending most of his 2010 travel itinerary detained and threatened by customs agents.
for me, he falls somewhere between hero and legend. im certain for the government he falls somewhere between drone strike and gulag.

DES has been well known for vulnerabilities for some time. I don't know of many businesses using MS PPTP for remote VPN because it is usually cheaper and easier to just purchase licenses from their firewall / gateway vendor. Certainly no company with strong crypto needs such as HIPAA, PCI, and similar compliance are using anything but dedicated VPN appliances with AES or similar based encryption. Heck, most of those have moved to 2-factor authentication and are using at least TLS 1.0 / SSL 3.0 at layer 4
Actually, lots of companies still use MS PPTP precisely because it's cheaper and easier than the alternatives. MS PPTP server is built into RRAS, so it's free, and the client is built into every version of Windows since XP.
I've worked with more than one company that has wanted to actually return to using PPTP after bad experiences with IPSec client VPNs.
It's typically because the client software blows or isn't available on their platform or hasn't been updated for an OS rev change (we saw this with Vista/Win7).
Most of these were small shops that couldn't afford the freight on a dedicated VPN setup and were stuck with whatever their firewall would do. Cisco's IPSec implementation seems widely supported, but you have to be wi
I've had great success with shrewsoft [shrew.net] Has worked for me with a few different VPN vendors and it's available in 32 and 64 bit for a bunch of platforms. Works better for me than the CISCO client.
Odd, I've used Shrewsoft on a few vendor's firewalls and run into all manner of incompatibilities. I suppose once you figure out all the quirks for a given device, you would be solid to deploy elsewhere.
On the small scale, I would probably opt for an OpenVPN setup, perhaps on a VM hosted on the base server for insulation. It's easier to setup a fresh server and client than shrewsoft's client in my experience.
I read the headline and wondered why a crack was released for Ubuntu only and such an old version...
I know that security people who build these things get vexed whenever a vulnerability is posted in the wild along with a cracking mechanism, but so often in the past we have seen security researchers have the cops called on them for notifying companies in advance (as if they were a shakedown racket demanding money). And its either that, or they ignore the vulnerability researcher till the 'post in the wild'. Better to post right away, get it out in the open, and move on. Many companies behave identically
Very true (also true about sunlight being a great disinfectant, at least, if you are not trying to use it through UV blocking glass
I remember, what a decade ago? It used to be different. You used to see anouncements that said "This vulnerability was given to so and so on date X, they worked out a patch, now here is the full vulnerability". Or "This was sent on X date, it was ignored, They ignored several warnings, here it is".
Sure sometimes someone just released a vulnerability without any of this dilige
OK, so what does it cost to buy 12-24 hrs of time on this FPGA set? Their dictionary attack service is $17/20 minutes on commodity hardware. At that rate this attack would cost $25K and I care much less about it than if the attack costs $25.
$200 was the price I saw in most report.
Having just implemented a PEAP-TLS (mutual-certificate based authentication), I can say that what I really want is a combination PEAP-TLS-MSCHAPv2 solution (which doesn't exist to my knowledge). I want mutual-certificate authentication (proving a "Corporate Issue" device which has a typical-end-user non-exportable private key is in use, effectively "something you have"', especially on encrypted drives with no user admin-access) wrapping around a MSCHAPv2 authentication of username/password pairs.

MGoPodcast 2.0: Summer Mumblings
We made a podcast over the weekend covering the latest in recruiting, both with players coming in and not making it, the spring game, the team this fall, and some extremely cheery basketball conversation. Significantly less apathetic slurring in this one than the podcasts towards the end of last season, but equal levels of disorganization.
BONUS disorganization: sometimes when you update things to keep current they break the hacky bits you've downloaded and inserted in order to get big files properly updated and then you grumble and fix it, causing things to be late.
Links of use:
- Helpful iTunes subscribe link
- General podcast feed link
- Direct download link
- What's with the theme music?
And I finally finished. Basketball portion was bleak at best. Ughh. What a Friday afternoon downer.
Yeah, that was depressing. And a fitting finish after hearing about the lack of big name recruits we're in on, and the lack of confidence in just a couple of positions like QB, RB, Safety, and questionable development on the O-Line.
Have a great weekend everybody!
The MMB NEEDS to play that song during a game (or all games) this coming season. This is not a "hey they should maybe do that," this is an issue of dire importance. That would be so awesome to hear. I will lose it if we start pumping out the Michigan Replay theme in the 3rd/4th quarter, while winning, in a big game (which will hopefully be every big home game, of course).
Mike Williams is the 'worst scholarship' football player ever at Michigan?
We want to say this when the guy has 2 years remaining at Michigan?
Taking a quick stroll through prior commit lists, i can see at least 35 players i would deem worse scholarship footballers than Williams (WIll Paul, Keston Cheatham, Marques Walton, Eugene Germany, Johnny freaking Sears, Jason Kates).
And how in the world can we call Williams worse than Boubacar Cissoko?
i think he was referring to starters with extended playing time at the position.
Thanks Brian and Tim for putting this podcast together. It reminds us all that football season is near, and it is a great elixir for early summer blues. Keep up the great work.
Is it bad that I go from 6 to midnight when I hear that music?
Thank Brian. i wish you had of posted this on a Monday. Kind of a downer going into the weekend. You are right, at least we have hockey to look forward to. And womens volleyball!
