My car swerved wildly, sliding across two lanes toward the center divider. I grappled with the steering wheel trying to regain control and glanced quickly toward my dad, sitting next to me.
In the fading light, I could see what had caused the problem: He had grabbed the gearshift and jerked the car into neutral.
"Let go!" I screamed. For a moment, we tussled over the stick, then I pulled it from him, jamming the car back into gear. "You can't do that while I'm driving," I yelled. I took a deep breath, trying to calm down, and turned on the dome light. "It's me, your daughter Rosemary," I said quietly.

Crooks continues with ORICA-SCOTT for 2018Thu 19 Oct 2017
ORICA-SCOTT are pleased to announce the re-signing of young Australian Jenelle Crooks for 2018.
The 23-year-old joined the Australian outfit mid-way through the 2016 season and has gone from strength to strength this season whilst learning and helping her older, experienced teammates.
"I really enjoyed this year with the team and I learnt so much," Crooks said. "The culture of the riders and staff really makes the team such a great environment to learn and develop as a professional rider, not only on the bike but off the bike as well."
"This made my transition to a full professional season so much easier and has got me super excited for next year. I am looking forward to developing more and working towards my goals for next season."
This year's big goal for the team was the prestigious women's Giro-Rosa in July, sport director Gene Bates acknowledged Crooks' important contributions to the team during this key race and is excited to have her continue for another season with the squad.
"It is great for us that Jenelle continues her development with the team in 2018," Bates explained. "After several great races Jenelle really showed her class during the Giro-Rosa where she played a key role in supporting our leaders Annemiek van Vleuten and Amanda Spratt."
"Since then she has gone from strength to strength. Jenelle will be one our youngest riders next season, but regardless of this, she will be one of our key riders in some of the tougher races.
"Jenelle has a very bright future with us."

HARTFORD — Officials at Central Connecticut State University are defending the police and school response to Monday reports of a masked man with a gun and sword.
Law enforcement swarmed the New Britain campus with SWAT teams and police dogs, and buildings were locked down for three hours. It turned out the man was a student dressed in an apparent Halloween costume that included a real sword and BB handgun.
University President Jack Miller said Tuesday that all potential threats must be taken seriously and officials need to respond to worst-case scenarios.
Classes resumed Tuesday and counseling was offered.
The student, 21-year-old David Kyem of Newington, was charged with breach of peace and posted bail Monday. He didn't return a phone message Tuesday, and it wasn't clear if he has a lawyer.

Richard Eggers, Fired By Wells Fargo For 50-Year-Old Prank, Can Reapply
In July, Wells Fargo fired 68-year-old employee Richard Eggers for slipping a cardboard dime into a laundromat washing machine in 1963. Eggers became a symbol of the unintended consequences of new banking regulations, aimed at purging mortgage lenders of employees with past convictions of fraud. Eggers has now been cleared to work again in the banking industry, reports The Des Moines Register, but he'll have to reapply to get his old job back.
In the wake of the 2008 financial crisis, Congress passed a law mandating that mortgage loan originators perform background checks on employees, similar to ones required of banks insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. When Wells Fargo checked up on Eggers, who had been a customer service representative at the firm for seven years, it discovered that prank from his youth.
Almost 50 years ago, Eggers was arrested and convicted of "operating a coin changing machine by false means," and served two days in jail. The bank then fired him from his $29,795-a-year job.
"Eggers is a customer service representative. There's no way he can commit fraud in the banking industry," Eggers' attorney Leonard Banks told AOL Jobs. "It's not what the goal of the law was."
More:Wells Fargo Is Hiring: What's It Really Like To Work There?But Wells Fargo said its hands were tied. "We don't have discretion to grant exceptions in situations like this," spokeswoman Angela Kaipust told local ABC affiliate WOI-TV. "Once we find out someone has a criminal history of dishonesty or breach of trust we can no longer employ them."
Casualties of the law do have a form of recourse, however. They can apply to get a waiver from the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp., permitting them to return to the industry. The Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. approved such a waiver for Eggers on Sept. 26, reports the Register, deciding that Eggers showed "satisfactory evidence of rehabilitation."
Kaipust said that she was pleased that the waiver process seemed to work in this case, but Eggers is frustrated that the bank has simply invited him to reapply, as opposed to just giving him his old job back.
"He feels like Wells Fargo is making him jump through another hoop, and he's not happy about it," Eggers attorney Leonard Bates told the Register. "Wells Fargo knows he wants his job back -- why don't they just offer it to him and to anyone who obtains a waiver? They said they had no choice but to fire all these people. Well, once they get the waiver, shouldn't Wells Fargo have no choice but to rehire them?"
More:I Interviewed At Wells Fargo BankThe Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. has received rising numbers of waiver requests since the passage of the new law, predicting a record 189 applications this year, up from an average of 50 per year between 1995 and 2010, reports the Register.
Even if Eggers gets his old job back, Bates says that Eggers still intends to pursue the state and federal civil rights complaints that he filed in August. The complaints are against Eggers' former employer, the firm that did his criminal background check, and federal banking regulators, and they allege age, sex and disability discrimination. Bates says the law adversely impacts older workers, who are more likely to have been jailed for petty offenses.
"Eggers spent two days in jail for a crime that no one in today's era would ever spend a day in for," Bates says. Older workers are also more likely to have a conviction for check fraud, he notes, since people write fewer bad checks today, because they write fewer checks period.
Bates also suspects that Wells Fargo may have gone through with such an extreme purge because they realized the employees that they'd be firing were more likely to be disabled and taking time off under the Family Medical Leave Act.
Eggers' complaints opened up the possibility for a class action suit on behalf of all the low-level employees victimized by the same law. "He's interested in representing the other employees, whose stories you haven't heard yet," Bates says. "He's committed to continuing to help fight for others, who are trying to get their jobs back."

Beautiful, ultra-slim design. Vibrant screen. Runs Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich) out of the box. Feels fast and responsive. HTC Sense 4.0 is redesigned, with especially slick camera software. Clear voice quality.
PenTile display makes for slightly fuzzy text. No voice dialing over Bluetooth.
Bottom Line
The HTC One S looks good, feels good, and runs Android 4.0 out of the box. It's our favorite new powerhouse smartphone on T-Mobile.
HTC has finally launched its first Android smartphone to ship with Ice Cream Sandwich—and it's a winner. The HTC One S packs a next-generation dual-core processor, a vibrant screen, an unusually capable camera, and fast HSPA+ 42 data speeds, all into one of the slimmest and lightest designs we've seen. Despite a few minor issues, the HTC One S is our favorite new smartphone on T-Mobile and a clear Editors' Choice.
Similar Products
Design and Call Quality
Slim and light, the HTC One S measures 5.15 by 2.56 by 0.35 inches (HWD), with a thinner 0.31-inch portion in the center, and weighs roughly 4.2 ounces. HTC doesn't provide an official weight figure, but the One S is slightly lighter than the 4.9-ounce iPhone 4S we had on hand. HTC's high-end handsets typically feel expensive, and the One S is no exception, with its rounded, gray aluminum body. This one goes several steps further, though. First, it's almost impossibly slim, thanks to its unibody design—the Verizon Motorola Droid RAZR is slimmer still at 0.28 inches, but the difference is largely academic given how good the One S looks. The gradient anodized finish also lends an extra dose of class, not to mention durability. A prominent volume rocker sits on the left side panel, while the top edge houses the Power button and a standard 3.5mm headphone jack.
The 4.3-inch, 960-by-540-pixel, Super AMOLED glass capacitive screen looks beautiful at first glance, with vibrant color, a bright backlight, wide viewing angles, and deep blacks. It's also very responsive; typing on the on-screen QWERTY keyboard is an absolute joy. HTC's own keyboard layout is present, and you can switch on Swype if you prefer that. There's only one issue with the screen: It's a PenTile display. That means the arrangement of subpixels results in mild stippling that many people don't mind (including me), but others find irritating. Mainly, it surfaces in fuzzier-than-typical text, and on dark gray backgrounds; you can really see it when it's next to a phone without a PenTile display. Suffice to say it's worth a look in person to see what you think.
The HTC One S is a quad-band EDGE (850/900/1800/1900 MHz) and tri-band HSPA+ 42 (900/1700/2100 MHz) device with 802.11b/g/n Wi-Fi. Download speeds generally landed in the 4 to 7 Mbps range—good, but not the best we've seen for HSPA+ 42. Ping times were often just over a second—though a few results were normal, at under 100 milliseconds—and upload speeds struggled to break 1Mbps, with most landing in the 500 to 700Kbps range. T-Mobile says our otherwise production review unit isn't provisioned yet for HSPA+ 42, and that by the time consumers get them next week, they'll all be operating at full speed.
Call quality is excellent for a T-Mobile phone. In my tests, voices sounded clear and crisp, if slightly thin, in the earpiece, with a surprising amount of gain considering there's precious little room for a speaker. Transmissions through the mic were clear and well defined, although a good amount of street noise made its way in. Calls sounded perfectly clear through a Jawbone Era Bluetooth headset ($129, 4.5 stars), but voice dialing didn't work at all over Bluetooth, which is a bizarre omission in a 2012 phone. The speakerphone sounds tinny at maximum volume, and isn't loud enough for outdoor use. There's a 1650mAh battery that we're in the process of testing. We'll post the results as soon as they're available.
Hardware, OS, and Apps
The dual-core 1.5GHz Qualcomm MSM8260A Snapdragon S4 processor is undeniably powerful, benchmarking considerably faster than the Samsung Galaxy S II ($229.99, 4.5 stars) by roughly 20 percent, and the HTC Amaze 4G ($149.99, 4 stars) by about 30 percent—and both of those are dual-core phones.
We can credit at least some of this speed to Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich) as well. HTC seems to have struck a nice balance between Android 4.0's various UI refinements, and its own, lighter-than-before HTC Sense 4.0 UI layer and widgets. In testing, the phone felt quite responsive, and raced through day-to-day tasks without so much as a hiccup. Frame rate tests stayed consistently just above 60 frames per second in several benchmarks, making this a superb phone for gaming.
While HTC devoted the bulk of its customization work to the camera and music apps (more on those below), there are some other nice touches throughout. Email conversations are threaded, and a sliding Recently Used Apps view lets you switch tasks with a finger swipe and tap. There are HTC's trademark clock and weather widgets, the latter of which now shows a spinning globe for tracking world time and weather. A beautiful Car Mode pops up a landscape display with large icons for navigation, music, Internet radio, and phone calls, and customized one-level-down interfaces for easier access while you're behind the wheel. You can't change up the main icons, though; it would have been nice to pop in a shortcut to iOnRoad Augmented Driving (free, 3.5 stars), but that's nitpicking.
Otherwise, there are over 400,000 third-party apps in Google Play, most of which should run just fine on the One S, given its up-to-date OS and relatively common screen resolution. You also get free voice-enabled GPS navigation standard. There's a good amount of pesky T-Mobile bloatware you can't remove like Game Base, My T-Mobile, T-Mobile Name ID, and T-Mobile Mall.
Browsing is very fast, although you can see the PenTile display issues on Web pages with small fonts, and Flash-encoded pages I tried didn't work. HTC's own SmartSync app is smart enough to learn your email checking habits, and then reduces push and polling accordingly to conserve battery power.

Why oh Why
Why oh why do these yarn companies and yarn shops insistent on sending me these sale notifications? I got this one this week for this one I absolutely LOVE that is selling this yarn that is from this company that is going out of business for this yarn that I love to collect though I don't knit with it, yet. Of course it is at a time in my life when I have ABSOLUTELY NO MONEY because we had to buy a new car since my DIED on Sunday. Didn't have any money to buy that either but what are you going to do?
The yarn, Wool in the Woods (yes the irony doesn't escape me either) comes in these amazing colorways and various cotton blends. Oh, there is a wool sock yarn too that is very inexpensive. I won't say cheap because there is NOTHING cheap about these yarns.
If I can persuade the hubby, I will scrape some pennies together, otherwise, have some fun for me. Think about those swaps, LOL

Contending For The Faith
February 5, 2012 by Minister/Elder DeBorrah K. Ogans
Filed under Church, Featured Articles
If you ever want a powerful defense for the Christian Faith Jude is an excellent book to refer to. Defending the Faith is not something new. Jude teaches the importance of not compromising the Word of God. The Word of God is priceless! You cannot manipulate God nor His Word no matter who you are. There are a lot of worldly influences that from the very beginning have tried to twist the Bible and its teachings. Many have been deceived, this is still the case today. Many worldly ways, concepts and methods have been embraced and embedded into the organized church system that are not of God. This is why it is important to know God and know His Word; of Him you can be certain and sure!!!
Jude is am actual flesh born brother of Christ Jesus and James who wrote the Book of James. He writes to us from the perspective of deep faith. He not only walked with Jesus but lived with Him as a biological brother born of the same mother, who loved Jesus. He knows the importance of having an up close personal relationship with the Lord. It is here that our peace can be multiplied.
Jude tells us to "Contend for the Faith!" What does this mean? Contend means to strive against difficulties, to be persistent and assert yourself. Faith means believe without seeing. "FAITH is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see. This is what the ancients were commended for. By Faith we understand that the universe was formed at GOD'S command so that what is seen was not made out of what was visible…" Hebrews 11 The Bible gives us the real facts! It is was not comprised of misconstrued circumstantial evidence. Many today attempt to use the Word to control others, justify their behavior and lifestyles but are really only promoting sin.
God is powerful as a matter of fact He is OMNIPOTENT meaning He is ALL POWER! He is SUPERIOR and SUPREME! Think about it with all the millions of organized church assemblies opened in the name of God, what is going on in this world should not be! It certainly is not because of GOD all these terrible things persist. It is because there are so many wolves in sheep clothing. "They are godless men who change the grace of God into a license for immorality and deny Jesus Christ our only Sovereign and Lord" Saints are supposed to be believers! Not followers of the world. But, followers of Jesus Christ!
Too many want to be leaders that are served, rather than Servants of God! All too often you now find that some in the church instead follow the latest trends and adopt the ways of the world. No need to be jealous! Disengage from the messiness and focus on GOD! ALL you will ever need you can discover in the LORD! "The earth is the Lord's and everything in it…" Psalm 24. Want what GOD wants for you! When you "STAND" on GOD'S WORD you never have to stand alone! "GOD WILL FIGHT YOUR BATTLES" Take some time and think about it? Who are you really following?
We must TRUST GOD! When you know that there is a lot of false teaching going on what do you do? When you know that you have helped those that no one else would help, and they turn on you, what do you do? When you know that you have been mistreated and maligned and falsely accused what do you do? PRAISE GOD!!! Know that you are in good company because this is what happened to Jesus! When you know that manipulation and deception is present you still must remain faithful to God and His Word! Don't let anyone pull you so low that you hate them… Don't settle or compromise your godly principles to get access or support by the majority… Christianity is really not a popularity contest nor is God's Church just a mere social club. Your body is the Temple where God resides. Everyone will have to answer to the Lord at some point! So get right with GOD!
God knows what you have or have not done. Don't become bitter. Become BETTER! Learn to better guard your heart. If you are depressed allow the Lord His place within your life. He can lift any of your burdens as you yoke up with Him. Go and Seek God first before everything else. Truly the Lord is more than able in any situation. You can with the help of the Lord rise above any circumstance. God is more powerful than what any man or woman can EVER do to you! Exercising your faith will make you peculiar in a good way. Let Him direct you upon your path to healing when seeking resources or those to help you. You must draw closer to God and TRUST HIM for yourself! This is how you build a "Solid Rock Foundation." Seek Him above all else and put your FAITH into action. HAVE FAITH IN GOD! God will give you a strong sound mind. He CAN KEEP you from falling! "Do not be conformed to this world. But TRANSFORMED by the renewing of your mind!" Your true security and significance can only be found in the LORD. "If GOD is for us who can be against us!" THANK YOU LORD! & PRAISE GOD!
The Word is often used today to justify lifestyles and wrong behavior that are not sanctioned by God. Minimizing sin and embracing tolerance. Often justified under the guise of unconditional love. Sin is anything that separates us from God. God never intended for Christianity to become a legalistic doctrinal concept of rules and regulations. The House of God is supposed to be the PILLAR of TRUTH! Focus more on the Lord than your issues. Be mindful of what is going on and remember it is supposed to be a place where many gather to worship, thank and praise GOD. It is written!
Christ died so we could have an abundant spiritual life in every way. Yet today many make their issues the theme of life and ministry. Jesus did not come to build hospitals or mausoleums. He came to give us a better way of life! He came to overcome sin in the flesh and show us how to live victorious in the Lord! Notice what happened in His Word how he always stood for what was right. Yet he was terribly misunderstood by those who should have known better. As a matter of fact it was the religious leaders that conspired to discredit JESUS and secretly sought to destroy Him. How ironic they called Him evil. Does any of this sound familiar?
No things will not always go your way. But the Lord can bring you through any situation with his peace. For; "Jesus is the Way the Truth and the Life!" The Bible is the inspired Word of God! "It is a Lamp unto our feet and a Light unto our path…"
The gift of Salvation and Eternal Life is one of the most precious gifts one can ever receive! Along with that gift comes the promise of His Holy Spirit. The Comforter and ultimate internal Teacher. Jude extends to us Mercy, Peace and Love in abundance through Christ Jesus. When Jesus ascended to heaven He promised that the Holy Spirit would come. Jesus prepared His disciples for His departure. He told them "Nevertheless I tell you the TRUTH. It is to your advantage that I go away, the Helper will not come to you; but if I depart , I will send Him to you. And when He has come, He will convict the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment; of sin, because they do not believe in Me, of righteousness, because I go to My Father and you see Me no more; of judgment, because the ruler of this world is judged. I still have many things to say to you, BUT you cannot bear them now. However, when He, the Spirit of TRUTH, has come, He will guide you into All truth; for He will not speak on His own authority, but whatever He hears He will speak; and He will tell you things to come…" JOHN 16
Jude known as the brother of Jesus Christ tells us that we have a duty to fight for God's TRUTH! Not in a physical carnal way. Our weapons are not carnal! We must daily stay adorned with the spiritual armor. Nor do our lives belong to us for we belong to God. "PRAY also for me, that whenever I open my mouth, words may be given me so that I will fearlessly make known the mystery of the GOSPEL, for which I am an Ambassador in chains. PRAY that I may declare it fearlessly, as I should" See Ephesians 6 Without doubt we are in the last days and the Word of God is being fulfilled! We need not be afraid but prayerful! It is important to persevere knowing that God is with you. Jude says: "But dear friends, remember what the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ foretold. They said to you, "In the last times, there will be scoffers who will follow their own ungodly desires. These are the men who divide you. Who follow mere natural instincts and DO NOT have the SPIRIT. But you, dear friends build yourself up in your most HOLY FAITH and pray in the HOLY SPIRIT. Keep yourselves up in God's LOVE as you wait for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ to bring eternal life. Be merciful to those who doubt; snatch others from the fire and save them; to others show mercy, mixed with fear hating even the clothing stained by corrupted flesh…
One only must watch the news, read the newspaper or search online to see that time is near! "Anything goes!" There is was not only a Economic Recession but a "SPIRITUAL RECESSION" as well. Many of our churches are sometimes allowing carnal worldly teachings… Bible study on some occasions have turned to group think and mind conditioning. God never intended for us to give up our individuality. Uniformity is not the same thing as unity.
Respect for God and His Word are all too often laid aside; carnality takes the forefront because somebody says; "I'm human" The time of increased Apostasy is definitely here! Meaning the abandoning of Faith! LORD HELP US! Anyone can be subject to error. This is why we all need His Holy Spirit to convict the heart of sin and point us to righteousness. What is righteousness? It is right living in the eyes of God! Sin is anything that separates us from God! Jude says: Remember Sodom and Gomorrah? God has not changed. This is why Jesus left us His Holy Spirit!
Live or begin to live each day; "To GOD be the GLORY!" Having an encounter with God regularly will bring you closer to Him. Take time throughout your day to "PRAY WITHOUT CEASING!" Shift your mind to the Lord. This is how you stay connected to the Lord. Remember God is omniscient he wants to open your understanding and make you even more aware. He can and will open your "spiritual eyes." This is also why we must contend for the Faith, know His Word and stand firm! Thank You Holy Father for making us your Ministers/Elders and Ambassadors.
If you have grown slack in your commitment to God; He can speak renewal and strength into your heart! He can lift you up and take you to wherever you need to be. We must humbly and diligently pursue TRUTH! God can bring a plan and a purpose into your life like no other! This what Jude leaves us with; "To HIM who is able to keep you from falling and to present you before His glorious presence without fault and with great JOY to the only GOD and SAVIOR be GLORY, MAJESTY, POWER and AUTHORITY, through JESUS CHRIST our LORD, before all ages, now and forevermore! AMEN!!!"
Where Is Your Faith ?
December 16, 2011 by Minister/Elder DeBorrah K. Ogans
Filed under Christian Living
"Now Faith is the substance of things hoped for the evidence of things not seen." Hebrews 11:1. Faith is so important that it is mentioned over three hundred times in the BIBLE. Faith means to have a firm persuasion. Having Faith means much more than just to say you believe. It goes much further! Faith is developed through Prayer, Devotion, Bible Study, and the actual application of God's Word to your life. Faith is also part of the Lord's spiritual armor. It is "By Faith we understand that the universe was formed at God's command, so that what is seen was not made out of what is visible." Hebrews 11:3. Faith is NOW not after the fact has materialized! "For we walk by Faith not by sight." II Corinthians 5:7
When you truly trust God your Faith will see you through any and all circumstances or situations. Abel, Deborah, Enoch, Noah, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Joseph, Moses and Rahab, are just a few examples of the many that trusted and had Faith in God. Gideon, Barak, Samson, Jephthah, David, Samuel and the prophets beheld many miracles, faced jeers, were stoned, saw walls fall, were persecuted, misunderstood, and mistreated yet accomplished their life purpose by trusting the Lord. Notice how they all sincerely aspired to live in the presence of the Lord. They had a personal and deep intimate relationship with Him. Hebrews commends them all for their Faith; "yet none of them received what had been promised." It is by Faith we are strengthened inwardly! Jesus Christ dwells in our hearts through Faith.
Faith is NOW!
Hebrew defines Faith as something you cannot see. Faith without works is dead. When your Faith is truly in GOD you trust that in His time He will fulfill whatever it is that He has said or promised. Take a moment to take an open and honest personal inventory of everything that is happening in your life. Guess what God already knows as well! Despite your circumstances; good, bad, or indifferent you can rest assured that your Faith makes all the difference in the world as to how you will now proceed. In order to successfully run the race of life we must keep our focus on the Lord. Laying aside any weight or sin helps us to run with endurance. When life hurdles appear God will impart to you His patience and direction. You can not change anything that has happened "it is what it is" As you fix your eyes on "Jesus, the Author and perfector of our Faith" He will help you arise to the challenges as well as the celebrations of life. Your daily trust and reliance on God is where your true security and significance should reside. This will give you sure footing and strong solid rock foundational spiritual roots to help you withstand the storms of life. Your Joy in the Lord is where you will find strength when you keep your eyes on Him. The joy of the Lord is not contingent on your circumstance. Faith is NOW!
The key to being a Christian is the Faith we have in Jesus Christ. Do you know the importance of His sacrificial death on the cross that atoned for our sins? It was so we could live life to please Him! Did you know our lives, our homes, our marriages, families and our worship should reflect we are His children? How do we do this? Titus tells us that "You must teach what is in accord with sound doctrine. Teach the older men to be temperate, worthy of respect, self controlled, and sound in Faith, love and in endurance. To teach the older women to be reverent in the way they live, not to be slanderers or addicted to much wine, but to teach what is good…" The natural man or woman does not accept, value, nor understand the things of God. This is why the Word says to "let this mind be in you that was also in Christ Jesus." In order to understand the things of God it is crucial that you lay aside your way and your will and let His Word be a "lamp unto your feet and a Light to your path." Having the proper perspective will teach you how very important it is to live life and study His Word for His approval and not the approval of man. This is why we are told to "Trust in the Lord will all of our hearts and lean not to our own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge Him and He will direct our path." Proverbs 3: 5&6. Too often God is an after thought or optional choice when dealing with life. This compromise often has favorable results with man; yet results in moving you away from God. Learn to wait on God and patiently seek His way.
God's way will give you peace and contentment that surpasses the understanding of man! God wants to be the Primary Force in your life. Being a Christian is really a chosen lifestyle. God does not force His way upon you. Faith produces commitment and faithfulness. It means to sincerely and earnestly attempt to live life to please God. Commence to truly Live, Sing, Worship and Praise Him. It really makes all the difference in the world! "LET the WORD of Christ dwell richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom, and as you sing psalms, hymns and spiritual songs with gratitude in your hearts to God. And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving THANKS to God the Father through Him" Colossians 3: 16&17.
God always has a better way. According to Ephesians He has already blessed us with every spiritual blessing in heavenly places. As His child we have been sealed and promised the gift of His Holy Spirit. God truly is faithful you can always count on Him! Now you must trust Him and step out on Faith. Remember Faith is not something that you can see. Always remember, you must exercise patience and your Faith and trust must rely in Him. He tells us if our Faith is "as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there' and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you" Matthew 17: 20. The key to this is you must desire His will to be done. It is with God we can do the impossible. This way He receives the credit. To GOD be the GLORY! God keeps His promises. You can fully trust God to work everything out for your good.
Always keep in mind that absolutely nothing gets by God. He knows all that is past, current and will be. Be encouraged knowing "God is not unjust; He will not forget your work and the love you have shown Him as you have helped His people and continue to help them." It is by Faith and patience we inherit His promises. We can patiently endure whatever is necessary because we know that God in His time will work everything out for our good. It is by Faith we accept His precious gift of eternal life. One of the most important elements in life is having Faith in GOD. "Without Faith it is impossible to please Him, for he, who comes to GOD, must believe, that He is a rewarder of them that diligently seek Him." Romans 1:16& 17.
GOD IS FAITHFUL in His time you will reap the promises and He will give back, restore, refuel and replenish you in His time. God knows when you are sincere. We are living in interesting times. Just keep your eyes fixed on the Author and finisher of your Faith. God is able to "keep you from falling and to present you before His glorious presence without fault and with great Joy!" You can say Hallelujah anyhow! God is awesome! As I mentioned before Hebrews records in its "Hall of Faith" many Old Testament heroes who trusted in God and displayed their Faith in unique ways. Lay aside every weight and anything that hinders you from going forth in the Lord! When you truly believe; it will be a priority to live your life to please GOD! Faith results in faithfulness! Who or what are you faithful to? "Now Faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see." FAITH IS NOW!

Why Zimmer Holdings, Lam Research, and Apple Are Today's 3 Best Stocks
The broad-based S&P 500 is literally swimming in earnings data today with a number of reports handily topping estimates and lending credence to investors' beliefs that the markets could go even higher -- and it just might have moved significantly higher had it not been for mixed economic data.
On one hand, March's durable goods report signaled ongoing strength in the demand for manufactured goods with a 2.6% increase. This follows a 2.1% jump from February, and continues a nice rebound from December and January when cold weather disrupted businesses across the U.S. With winter now in the rearview mirror, the hope is that manufacturing will continue to expand at a brisk pace.
On the other hand, weekly initial jobless claims figures hit a brick wall, rising nearly 8% to a seasonally adjusted 329,000. As Foolish contributor Justin Loiseau, who tracks these weekly data releases like a hawk, noted earlier today, the increase likely had to do with temporary layoffs right before Easter, and isn't likely indicative of a longer-term shift in unemployment. While I happen to agree wholeheartedly, investors weren't having it.
After all was said and done for the day, the S&P 500 managed to use a number of strong earnings reports to trudge higher by 3.22 points (0.17%) to close at 1,878.61. This marks the index's seventh gain in the past eight sessions.
Despite the relatively tame move in the S&P 500, orthopedic and implantable device maker Zimmer Holdings led to the upside with an 11.5% gain after it announced its first-quarter results and the purchase of privately held Biomet. While Zimmer's quarterly results -- which showed a 2% increase in sales and a 6% boost in adjusted EPS-- were solid, it was the company' $13.35 billion purchase that excited investors. The acquisition of Biomet could help Zimmer achieve up to $270 million in cost synergies three years following the merger, and will be accretive to earnings within the first year. Furthermore, the increased diversity of its combined products should help improve its pricing power, as well as counteract an ongoing push by the government to slowly reduce Medicare reimbursements over time. This is certainly a name that health-care savvy investors will want to keep on their watchlists following this purchase.
Earnings, however, was the big story for semiconductor processing equipment manufacturing-and-servicing company Lam Research , which handily topped Wall Street's forecasts in the third quarter, and rose 11.5% on the day, as well. For the quarter, Lam reported a huge 39% increase in year-over-year revenue, to $1.23 billion, as well as a 10% increase in sequential revenue from the second quarter. Gross margin also improved 300 basis points, to 43.2% from the prior year, as adjusted EPS totaled $1.26, $0.10 better than Wall Street anticipated. Best of all, Lam issued fourth-quarter revenue guidance of $1.19 billion to $1.29 billion, which is markedly higher than the Street's consensus of $1.09 billion on adjusted gross margins of 45%-47%. With the need for mobile devices soaring, it's quite possible the demand for semiconductor processing equipment, while cyclical, could still have a few more years left in the tank. This means Lam could still be worth a look.
Finally, the largest company in the world, Apple , rose 8.2% after reporting surprisingly strong second-quarter results after the closing bell last night. During the quarter, Apple sold 43.7 million iPhones, 16.4 million iPad's, and 4.1 million Mac computers. This represented a 17% increase in iPhone sales and a 5% jump in Mac sales; however iPad sales dipped 16% year over year due to stiffer competition. Fortunately, higher iPhone sales were more than enough to lead Apple to report $45.6 billion in sales, a 4.7% increase from Q2 2013, as net income jumped to $10.2 billion, or an adjusted $11.62 per share, well ahead of the $10.18 consensus estimate on the Street. The company also boosted its share buyback program by $30 billion to a cumulative $90 billion, announced an 8% increase to its dividend, and disclosed a seven-for-one stock split. All in all, it was another great quarter for Apple, and there are few reasons I see why investors shouldn't be pleased with these results.
Are you ready to take advantage of this $14.4 TRILLION revolution unfolding before your eyes?
Let's face it, every investor wants to get in on revolutionary ideas before they hit it big. Like buying PC-maker Dell in the late 1980s, before the consumer computing boom. Or purchasing stock in e-commerce pioneer Amazon.com in the late 1990s, when it was nothing more than an upstart online bookstore. The problem is, most investors don't understand the key to investing in hyper-growth markets. The real trick is to find a small-cap "pure-play," and then watch as it grows in EXPLOSIVE lockstep with its industry.

Guest blog by Brenda Patoine
Childhood maltreatment is recognized as the No. 1 preventable cause of mental illness – and some experts argue, of all stress-related diseases – yet science still has no clear answers for how to best prevent the spiral of neglect and abuse that threatens millions of infants and children in the U.S. alone.
In a report published this week, the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (USPTF), a U.S. Public Health Service committee charged with recommending action to thwart preventable health conditions, conceded that there was "insufficient data" to recommend any particular strategy that has been tested as a means of preventing childhood maltreatment, which encompasses neglect as well as physical, psychological, or sexual abuse. Preventive interventions initiated in primary care focus on preventing maltreatment before it occurs, as opposed to identifying children who are victims of abuse or neglect. Continue reading

Pearl Maple Piccolo Snare Drum
Best Piccolo Snare Drum
Expert Review
Pearl's Maple piccolo snare has always been my favorite piccolo snare because it has the classic small and compact sound you're likely to associate with piccolo snares. The maple shell prevents the drum from sounding like a tin can (a common problem with other piccolo snares) and also makes for a warm sound unmatched by other piccolo snares. The Maple shell also gives the drum a softer tone that is very useful when using it as an alternative to a big metal snare drum.
The 13 inch diameter and 3 inch depth are the perfect dimensions because they keep the sound very pointed and this drum is great for orchestral players looking for a snare drum responsive enough for soft, intricate playing. Pearl is known for their quality hardware and this drum's lugs and hoops are extremely durable; the 1.6mm steel hoops are designed to hold pitch and the one piece lugs can support the tightest tensions. This drum's price tag is slightly higher than other drums, but it is well worth the investment because of the great sound and high quality maple shell.

Little League Softball World Series Embroiled in Game-Throwing Scandal
Move over, Chicago Black Sox. You now have game-throwing company in the form of a Little League softball team from Snohomish, Wash.
To avoid facing tougher competition in the quarterfinals of the Little League Softball World Series, the undefeated South Snohomish softball squad allegedly threw its last game in pool play, creating a three-way tie that eliminated the Central Iowa All-Stars from contention.
Chris Chadd, president of Central Iowa Little League, told The Des Moines Register that the Snohomish team benched starters and only attempted to bunt all game, resulting in an 8-0 no-hitter loss to a North Carolina team.
"It's clear to everyone that they basically threw the game," Chadd told the paper.
Little League International agreed. In an official statement posted on its Facebook page, it ordered a one-game playoff between Central Iowa and South Snohomish, saying, "The Little League International Tournament Committee recently received credible reports that some teams did not play with the effort and spirit appropriate for any Little League game."
Central Iowa made the best of its second chance Tuesday morning, defeating the girls from Snohomish, 3-2, and advancing to the semifinals. Pitcher Mikayla Houge notched 11 strikeouts on the day to eliminate the Washington team from the tournament.
Following its loss to Central Iowa, South Snohomish Little League released a statement Tuesday afternoon (via the Seattle Post-Intelligencer):
Our coach was faced with a decision that, in the bubble of intense competition, appeared to him to be in the best interest of our team. In hindsight, it is very likely he would have made a different choice. Though the decision that Coach Miller made did not violate the letter of the rules, I can see abundant evidence that it was not in line with the spirit of the game.
Once we have an opportunity to examine what transpired, we will be able to learn from these events in Portland. We will make sure that we are doing all that we can to provide our players with the opportunity to compete in a way that honors their commitment to fair play and open competition.
Ironically, South Snohomish was the only team to defeat Central Iowa in pool play.
The Central Iowans' storybook ending was not to be, however. On Tuesday evening, they fell 5-4 to the East regional champion squad from Warwick, R.I., in the semifinals.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a job or a job offer to apply for OPT?
No. You are able to apply for OPT without having any job offer ready. You are given time to look for a job while on OPT, because you are allowed 90 days of unemployment during the 1- year OPT authorization period.
Can I work before I receive my EAD card?
No. You must physically have your EAD card in your hand in order to report to work. You are allowed to interview, accept a position, and complete any paperwork before you have an EAD card, but you may not actually report to work until you have the EAD card, even if your requested OPT start date has passed.
Can I travel with pending or approved OPT?
Yes, but it is not recommended. When your OPT application is PENDING (meaning we have mailed your application but have not received an EAD card), you may travel outside the United States and you may return before your program end date. If your OPT is APPROVED, you must present the EAD card and a job offer letter at the U.S. port of entry. You should not travel outside the US while after your program end date if your OPT application is still pending.
What if I leave the country when my OPT application is pending, and it is approved when I am outside of the United States?
Since you need to physically show your EAD card and a job offer letter at the U.S. port of entry, and since the EAD card will be mailed to the U.S. address listed on Form I-765, we do not recommend traveling internationally while an OPT application is pending. However, if you receive the card and offer while outside of the U.S., we recommend having the items sent to you wherever you are outside of the U.S.
Can I work anywhere I want on OPT?
Any employment, internship, or other practical training experience you accept while on OPT must be directly related to your major field of study. For example, a computer science major must work, volunteer, or intern in a position directly related to computer science. For it to be counted as employment, you must work at least 20 hours per week.
What if my grace period ends and my application is still pending?
A student with a pending OPT application is allowed to remain in the United States even after the end of the grace period, as long as the application was filed before the grace period ended.
Am I allowed to be unemployed while on OPT?
You are allowed 90 days of unemployment during your OPT authorization period (between the dates listed on your EAD card). If you exceed 90 days of unemployment, your OPT authorization ends.
I received a Request For Evidence (RFE) from USCIS. What should I do?
Bring the RFE to an ISSS advisor, or email it to us. We will help you prepare the required documents and respond to the RFE.

UEFI boot stub in Linux
Written by Louis Feuvrier
2014-10-01 20:28:36
As most of you know, the linux kernel is stored as a bzImage. This bzImage has been comprised of different files over the time, but it is usually the composition of two things:
The bit that interests us is the linux boot code, and how it paves the way for the kernel itself. You may consider that once the piggy.o (see later) object has been loaded at offset 0x100000, the basic bootloading job is done. But first, before tackling UEFI thematics, let's go back a bit to the legacy booting processes.
I gave a conference about these matters in March. You can consult the slides at the following address. The prezi slides give a very good idea of where you are in the code, try it!
Legacy boot
Way, way back in 2.5.64
Even before people used window managers and all that fancy stuff, linux actually was a bootable image, meaning you could run
dd if=bzImage of=/dev/sdaand just boot off the thing. This required the 512 first bytes to be MBR-material, able to load the rest of the kernel itself. Using this technique, it was not possible to easily specify a command-line (and therefore a root filesystem, an initrd file or an init binary).
The bzImage was composed as follow:
The piggy.o object contains the bulk of the kernel image. misc.o is a bunch of gzip routines for the decompression of the kernel.
The bootsect.o was a 512-bytes MBR. Since 2.5.65, it just prints an error message indicating that the feature is not supported anymore. arch/i386/boot has since 2.6.24 been moved into arch/x86/boot. bootsect.S and setup.S have been replaced by the header.S file since 2.6.23. The bootsect.S file performed only a few basic tasks:
- Relocated itself at address 0x9000 (bootsect.S:62)
- Loaded the setup.o code at address 0x9200 (bootsect.S:153).
- Loaded the system at address 0x100000 (bootsect.S:225)
The size of the setup.o code, which needs to be loaded in low-memory, is defined in the setup_sects field (bootsect.S:415).
After loading those two chunks in memory, the processor jumped into the setup.o code, at the symbol start_of_setup (setup.S:173). From here, it carried out a few tasks:
- Checked the memory layout with three different methods (e820h, e801h and 88h)
- Jumped in protected mode (setup.S:873) at offset 0x100000 (setup.S:905).
The code at 0x100000 (1Mo) is part of the startup_32 (head.S:31) routine, the first protected mode code in the kernel. It uses routines from misc.c to decompress the kernel in place and then re-jumps at 0x100000 (head.S:77), where the code from piggy.o has now been loaded.
The real world
As I previously said, the layout of the arch/i386/boot folder (as of today arch/x86/boot) changed drastically over the time.
The first change to take place was the nullification of the MBR, and starting at version 2.5.65, the 512 first bytes were only able to print out a bugger-off message. Between versions 2.6.22 and 2.6.23, the folder was totally revisited. A new file header.S was created, containing the now useless 512 bytes MBR and a bit of the setup.S code as well. The main change remains in the creation of a main.c file executing most of the initializations performed by the old setup.S regarding the BIOS mode, the memory detection, the video mode and such. The code in the main.c file then jumps in protected mode in the pm.c file (pm.c:149) via the goto_protected_mode stub. The head_32.S file is still very similar to the original head.S source: its job is to decompress the kernel in-place, thus placing piggy.o at 0x100000.
The bzImage is of the following composition according to my research and the compressed folder building files (Makefile:29 and vmlinux.lds.S):
Usual BIOS-enabled bootloaders startup
Let's take a look at the syslinux sources to understand when and how the linux bzImage is loaded in memory by the bootloader itself. A big thanks to the guys from #syslinux on freenode for their help in finding the module loading and jumping into the kernel linux, the path was not obvious. It is split in two according to the setup_sects header (load_linux.c:243) in the first 512 bytes of the header.o file (header.S:264).
- The realmode code is loaded at an offset below 1M (load_linux.c:320)
- The command-line is loaded right behind this code (load_linux.c:344)
- The vmlinux.bin.gz file is loaded above 1M (load_linux.c:362)
Once this is done, the bootloader simply jump 512 bytes behind the beginning of the realmode code it copied into memory. This code will re-localize itself at 0x9000 offset according to the setup_move_size field (header.S:306) if the command-line address has not been specified in the command_line_ptr field (header.S:338). From then on, the kernel will follow the same route as when it was loaded as an image.
It might also be interesting to specify that the setup segment of the bootloading process is aware of the bootloader that loaded it previously thanks to the ext_loader_type field (header.S:335) (boot.txt:).
Well, all we thus far is that the BIOS-dependent bootloading process for linux is quite a mess. It is not trivial to follow the control flow and the bzImage loading is far from obvious. The drastic changes the boot folder underwent did not help me get a sense of what was going on. However, here comes UEFI.
The UEFI model
The goal of the UEFI specification is first to unify the boot process and get rid of the mess the BIOS-dependent bootloading option is. When the IA64 architecture was designed, engineers from Intel thought it was time to get rid of the legacy 16bits to 32bits to 64bits booting process, and go straight into protected mode. However, as the IA64 architecture failed in favor of the AMD64, the idea of getting rid of the archaic firmware that is BIOS stuck, and after a few years, the EFI firmware became UEFI and development of this specification spread outside Intel.
The idea here is to provide an API more user-friendly to the programmer, with simple applications as Portables Executables (PE from Windows). Most of these applications are services (usually drivers) exposing to the user a bunch of devices such as a keyboard, a screen or the clock. They are initialized and ran automatically by the firmware. Other applications include a shell (enabling the user to start other applications), or bootloaders (it might be useful).
There are three types of application:
- Simple applications (type=10)
- Boot services (type=11)
- Runtime services (type=12)
Boot services are protocols (API to stay simple) designed to die when the boot process is done and the control is handed to the OS (via the
ExitBootServices()routine.) These services include drivers such as text/graphical console, block devices and such. On the other hand, Runtime services are designed to stay reachable by the OS, even after a call to
ExitBootServices(). These services provide access to the NvRAM for example, or drivers for the clock.
The NvRAM stores a few variables, including the configuration for the boot manager. This boot manager reads the NvRAM to boot on a given application automatically. This configuration is alterable via the
efibootmgrutility and allows the user to setup the bootloader order. This order usually defaults to:
- Try to boot on floppy
- Try to boot on hard drive
- Try to boot on NIC0
- Run shell application
The user-defined applications and files are stored on a special
fat32partition defined by the identifier
UEFI: how to
As specified before, the code for an application is encapsulated in the PE format. This means the binary needs both the MZ and PE headers in order to be recognized as a valid efi executable. It needs to feature the .efi extension in the filesystem as well.
The compilation of such binaries can be achieved with the help of the gnu-efi library, which is exposing to the user headers the firmware-provided data structures and function prototypes, such as the main. It also includes a basic library I/O C library using the EFI-defined drivers to the peripherals.
The main prototype as defined by the gnu-efi library (ia32/efibind.h:250), and used in a sample 'hello world' application (apps/t.c:16):
EFI_STATUS efi_main (EFI_HANDLE image_handle, EFI_SYSTEM_TABLE *systab);
Arriving in that main, all the EFI features are available via the EFI_SYSTEM_TABLE (efiapi.h:866) structure. The firmware thus exposes directly an stdin/stdout/stderr via the
The EFI_BOOT_SERVICES structure gives a reference to the different protocols and drivers to the user via the
LocateProtocol()functions. The EFI_RUNTIME_SERVICES structure yields directly access to the time and NvRAM variables.
Booting without a bootloader: the EFI boot stub
As expected, the linux kernel obviously does not use the gnu-efi library. The idea behind the EFI boot stub is to fake the previously seen bzImage as a valid efi application. This means setting up a MZ+PE header and all kinds of sneaky, sneaky stuff.
The EFI boot stub became available as of linux 3.3. When compiling the kernel with options
CONFIG_EFI_STUB=y, the header.S image features made up MZ+PE headers. The most important field, the AddressEntryPoint (header.S:144) is named efi_pe_entry in the source tree and is set by the tools/build.c program to either of the following (tools/build.c:274):
- 0x010 (compressed/head_64.S:37) or (compressed/head_32:34). In the case of the head_64.S file, the EFI entry point is set to the 64 bits entry each time. However, a legacy bootloader will jump at 0x100000 and fall on the 32 bits entry which will do the jump into long mode and fall through in the (startup_64) routine. 64 bits legacy bootloader, however, will know enough to jump directly into startup_64.
- 0x210 (compressed/head_64:S:191),
The remaining problem here is that bootloaders usually provide a boot_params data structure. Here, the head_{32,64}.S files use a make_boot_params function (compressed/eboot.c:693) (compressed/head_64.S:214) (compressed/head_32.S:45) in order to setup this structure.
The processor then enters the efi_stub_entry, (compressed/head_64.S:221) (compressed/head_32.S:55) the offset of which also depends on the architecture adopted by the kernel (ia32 or amd64). As implemented since the boot protocol 2.11 (boot.txt:57) (boot.txt:1097), the kernel supports EFI handover, meaning bootloaders can yield the remainder of the boot process to the EFI boot stub. This is where efi_stub_entry intervenes, representing that entry point and being stored in the handover_offset (header.S:422) (boot.txt:728) if the xloadflags (header.S:371) is set accordingly (boot.txt:590).
The code beginning from the efi_stub_entry first calls efi_main (compressed/eboot.c:748) (not to be mistaken with the gnu-efi efi_main we talked about earlier,) which executes a basic initialization:
- Test if called by the UEFI firmware (might be called with efi_stub_entry as entry point.) Fail if not.
- Call to setup_graphics.
- Call to setup_efi_pci, which retrieves the main pci_handle (compressed/eboot.c:65) and fetches each individual device handle (compressed/eboot.c:85).
- Relocate the kernel code at the preferred address (compressed/eboot.c:783)
- Load the dummy GDT and disable interrupts (compressed/eboot.c:857).
- Performs the call to
ExitBootServices()needed for the firmware to let go of the control (compressed/eboot.c:800) (compressed/eboot.c:710).
After exiting efi_main successfully, the processor just jumps in the newly relocated kernel, according to the values in the boot_params (asm/bootparams.h:111) structure, stored in %eax at exit (compressed/head_64.c:233).

Issue 54 in Java
Written by Bruno Pujos, Fabien Goncalves and Louis Feuvrier
2014-04-29 09:05:00
One of the quite recent (at least, not too old) and amusing things to look at when you are beginning to study security in java is the issue 54 from Security Exploitation. This issue is quite interesting, because it is a low level trick and is, so far, not patched.
Security in java
Before talking about this particular issue, let's see some basics about security in Java in general.
The first thing to know is what and why are we attacking java? Java is designed to run code from untrusted sources securely. This is a well known property and you can find it "everyday" in your browser with the java applets. When an applet is downloaded from a website the browser will run it and you don't want a potentially malicious attacker to have full permissions under your machine.
Java implements a system of permissions to limit possibilities for the code executed with unprivileged rights (the applet). The goal for an attacker will be to acquire full privileges from an unprivileged application, allowing full jeopardy of the computer. The traditionnal attacks (overflow, use-after-free...) are still working but there is an additional type which is less common : the sandbox bypass (which can itself be divided in several parts: unsafe reflection, least privilege violation...).
The security of Java is based on several things, the first is the gestion of the memory which is handled by the JVM (Java Virtual Machine) and not by the user. It first avoids most of the stupid errors developers can make, but it is also mandatory for running code safely (if we can do what we want with the memory we already have the same privilege that the program).
The second part of the security is handled at the loading of a class. This loading process is divided into two parts: the class loader and the bytecode verifier.
The class loader has a similar goal as the dynamic linker in Unix systems. There are several implementations (classes) of the class loader, like the applet class loader which can load code over the internet from a website. All class loaders inherit from
java.lang.ClassLoader. Of course, a class loader has to take some precautions not to execute malicious code. In particular, it will have to check that we are not trying to spoof a System class which would allow us to bypass all security protections.
During the validation step by the class loader, the bytecode will be checked by the bytecode verifier. It is called from the class loader through the method
defineClass. It will not perform any check of logic but only check that the bytecode is valid and other various things, for example that it is not overflowing the stack. Once the bytecode verifier has done his work, if the class loader validates the class, the code is considered to be of no harm to the JVM (this doesn't mean you have all the privileges).
The last important part in java security is the security manager, it's the part which will check all the permissions during runtime. If unprivileged code tries to do something forbidden, it will raise an exception. The basic class for the security manager is
java.lang.SecurityManagerUsually, the security manager will be retrieved by a call to
If the security manager is set to
null, no check is performed and the code runs with full privileges. Therefore, the goal of a lot of exploits will be to rewrite the security manager to
null. Some permissions allow to change the security manager and to set it to
accessClassInPackage.sun...). Typically, a permission check looks like this:
1 2 3 4
// From AppletClassLoader.java SecurityManager sm = System.getSecurityManager(); if (sm != null) sm.checkPackageAccess(name.substring(0, i));
The method
checkPackageAccessand all the other check functions will throw an error if the code doesn't have the rights to perform the action desired. The check looks into the stack-call and if it finds an unprivileged function, it throws an exception. To go from unprivileged code to privileged code, Java uses the
1 2 3 4 5
AccessController.doPrivileged(new PrivilegedAction() { public Object run() { // insert priviledge code here } });
This check is performed by the security manager and will stop at the first doPrivileged it finds.
The MethodHandle resolution mecanism
In the constant pool of a class file it is possible to define a
MethodHandle. This entry in the constant pool contains two elements: the reference kind and the reference index. The reference kind characterizes the bytecode behavior of the methodhandle, there are 9 possible kinds, as follow:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
REF_getField REF_getStatic REF_putField REF_putStatic REF_invokeVirtual REF_invokeStatic REF_invokeSpecial REF_newInvokeSpecial REF_invokeInterface
All 9 kinds are used to get a
MethodHandle. This object can reference not only methods but also fields, constructors "and similar low-level operations". The kinds 1 to 4 are used to create a
MethodHandleon a field and the reference index must point to a
CONSTANT_Fieldref. For kinds 5 to 8 the reference index must point to a
CONSTANT_Methodref. It is used to get a
MethodHandleon a method.
The last kind (
REF_invokeInterface) is used for
CONSTANT_InterfaceMethodrefand returns a
MethodHandlefor an interface method. The interesting part about the use of a
CONSTANT_MethodHandleinto the constant pool is that the creation of the
MethodHandleis done at the loading of the class file. Theoretically, it should make no difference between retrieving the
MethodHandleat the loading of the class and after the loading. We will see that it's not the case.
Issue 54: the vulnerability
The issue 54 has been found by Security Exploitation and is well documented (http://www.security-explorations.com/materials/se-2012-01-54.pdf). The usual way to get a Method Handler of a function in a class is to call the public method
findVirtualfrom the
MethodHandles.Lookupmodule. The code of this method is the following:
1 2 3 4 5 6
public MethodHandle findVirtual(Class<?> refc, String name, MethodType type) throws NoSuchMethodException, IllegalAccessException { MemberName method = resolveOrFail(refc, name, type, false); checkSecurityManager(refc, method); return accessVirtual(refc, method); }
In this code we can see the call to the method
checkSecurityManagerwhich checks whether the calling code has the right to get the
MethodHandle. In particular, it will forbid to get a
MethodHandleon a private method of a super-class. On the other hand, when getting a MethodHandle at class loading with a
REF_invokeVirtual, the method called is
1 2 3 4 5
private MethodHandle resolveVirtual(Class<?> refc, String name, MethodType type) throws NoSuchMethodException, IllegalAccessException { MemberName method = resolveOrFail(refc, name, type, false); return accessVirtual(refc, method); }
We can see that the only difference between these two functions is the call to the
checkSecurityManagerfunction which is not done in the
resolveVirtualmethod. The
resolveVirtualfunction is of course private but during loading it is called by the class loader. That means that a specially crafted class can get virtual and static methods (the same issue exists with findStatic and resolveStatic) from a class, allowing to have a valid
MethodHandleon something we shouldn't have had access to.
This issue is also present in most of the different kinds of
CONSTANT_MethodHandleentries in the constant pool of a class file. Still, this issue alone does not allow to execute code from an untrusted source as privileged. When Security Exploitation reported that vulnerability, they used a second one (Issue 55 http://www.security-explorations.com/materials/SE-2012-01-ORACLE-10.pdf) to get the execution of code as privileged. The issue 55 allows to bind a
MethodHandleto an object instance of incompatible type. This could allow to set the securitymanager to null, bypassing all the permission protection.
Issue 54: the exploitation
With this issue, Security Exploitation has released a demonstration of the the issues 54 and 55 (http://www.security-explorations.com/materials/se-2012-01-50-60.zip). In particular, it contains a class
MyCL.classwhich is "hand made", and contains the exploitation of issue 54. Here is the constant pool of this class:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22
CONSTANT_MethodRef(10) 5, 16 CONSTANT_MethodRef(10) 5, 17 CONSTANT_String(8) 10 CONSTANT_Class(7) 18 CONSTANT_Class(7) 19 CONSTANT_Utf8(1) 6 : <init> CONSTANT_Utf8(1) 3 : ()V CONSTANT_Utf8(1) 4 : Code CONSTANT_Utf8(1) 15 : LineNumberTable CONSTANT_Utf8(1) 5 : dummy CONSTANT_Utf8(1) 57 : (Ljava/lang/String;[BIILjava/security/ProtectionDomain;)V CONSTANT_Utf8(1) 18 : get_defineClass_mh CONSTANT_Utf8(1) 20 : ()Ljava/lang/Object; CONSTANT_Utf8(1) 10 : SourceFile CONSTANT_Utf8(1) 9 : MyCL.java CONSTANT_NameAndType(12) 6, 7 CONSTANT_NameAndType(12) 20, 21 CONSTANT_Utf8(1) 4 : MyCL CONSTANT_Utf8(1) 21 : java/lang/ClassLoader CONSTANT_Utf8(1) 11 : defineClass CONSTANT_Utf8(1) 73 : (Ljava/lang/String;[BIILjava/security/ProtectionDomain;)Ljava/lang/Class; CONSTANT_MethodHandle(15) REF_invokeVirtual(5), 2
We can see that the entry 22 is a
CONSTANT_MethodHandle1with the kind
REF_invokeVirtualfor exploiting the vulnerability and refer to the
CONSTANT_MethodRefat the entry 2, which is in the class java.lang.ClassLoader the method
defineClassmethod in
java.lang.ClassLoaderis a protected final method and it should be impossible to have an handle on this method and obviously to call it.
MyCL.classwe have three methods :
<init>which is for the initialisation
get_defineClass_mhwhich returns the
CONSTANT_MethodHandleat the entry 22 of the constant pool.
The other part of the exploit is for the issue 55 which will allow to bind the method handle to another class and get it called with privileged rights, allowing a sandbox bypass.
This issue, even if a little old, is really interesting because it puts in light some internals of the class loading process which are often unclear. It is also really disturbing because Oracle doesn't seem to consider this issue as a problem, indicating that this was an "allowed behavior". Still not patched, this issue can be used for developing exploits, enlarging the possibility for finding vulnerabilities. Even if this issue was basically focused on a MethodHandle pointing to a method, the same problem exists with MethodHandle pointing on a field, allowing to gain even more access.

From the Waverley Leader - Remembering our ANZAC Women:
WHILE most of the focus on Anzac Day highlights the many soldiers who fought for their country in military conflicts, a strong group of ladies will also pause on April 25 to remember their contribution.
Oakleigh Carnegie RSL life member Verna Phillips will be one of them.
The 88-year-old joined the Australian Army during World War II in 1942 after seeing notices posted in the city encouraging women to take on administration and office jobs.
From Third Coast Digest - Band of Sisters:
America's female soldiers are breaking new ground both here and abroad. They are fighting and dying just like the men do.
It is this phenomenon that led author Kirsten Holmstedt to focus two books on the stories of female soldiers, both in the Iraqi theatre and after they returned home.
From the Arizona Republic - Woman Who Spied For The Union:
"Nurse," written by Marissa Moss, tells the true tale of teenager Sarah Emma Edmonds, who dressed as a man and enlisted in the Union Army under the name Frank Thompson. Thompson rescued the wounded on battlefields, nursed them and served as a spy, disguising herself as a slave to get behind Confederate lines.


text: The North Gujarat University was carved out of Gujarat University whose Headquarter is at Ahmedabad. On bifurcation, the North Gujarat University inherited no physical assets from its parent University. It had, therefore, to start its existence ab-initio so far as its local habitation was concerned. PATAN, a historical town in northern part of Gujarat, was officially designated as the Head-Quarter town of the University. The town happens to have composite campus of four affiliated colleges. The managing council of the colleges was kind enough to put at the disposal of the infant University its two hostel buildings on rent to accommodate its offices. Thus began the University to operate and serve 41 colleges scattered over the three erstwhile districts of Banaskantha, Mehsana and Sabarkantha allotted in its jurisdiction. This was an act of foresight of the first functionaries of the University.
