Make no mistake: current network defense, threat hunting, and incident response practices contain a strong element of intelligence and counterintelligence that cyber analysts must understand and leverage in order to defend their networks, proprietary data, and organizations.
FOR578: Cyber Threat Intelligence will help network defenders, threat hunting teams, and incident responders to:
- Understand and develop skills in tactical, operational, and strategic level threat intelligence
- Generate threat intelligence to detect, respond to, and defeat advanced persistent threats (APTs)
- Validate information received from other organizations to minimize resource expenditures on bad intelligence
- Leverage open-source intelligence to complement a security team of any size
- Create Indicators of Compromise (IOCs) in formats such as YARA, OpenIOC, and STIX.
The collection, classification, and exploitation of knowledge about adversaries - collectively known as cyber threat intelligence - gives network defenders information superiority that is used to reduce the adversary's likelihood of success with each subsequent intrusion attempt. Responders need accurate, timely, and detailed information to monitor new and evolving attacks, as well as methods to exploit this information to put in place an improved defensive posture.
Cyber threat intelligence thus represents a force multiplier for organizations looking to update their response and detection programs to deal with increasingly sophisticated advanced persistent threats. Malware is an adversary's tool but the real threat is the human one, and cyber threat intelligence focuses on countering those flexible and persistent human threats with empowered and trained human defenders.
During a targeted attack, an organization needs a top-notch and cutting-edge threat hunting or incident response team armed with the threat intelligence necessary to understand how adversaries operate and to counter the threat. FOR578: Cyber Threat Intelligence will train you and your team in the tactical, operational, and strategic level cyber threat intelligence skills and tradecraft required to make security teams better, threat hunting more accurate, incident response more effective, and organizations more aware of the evolving threat landscape.

FOR578.2: Tactical Threat intelligence: Kill Chain for Intrusion Analysis
Jake Williams
Tue Jul 12th, 2016
9:00 AM - 12:15 PM US Mountain
1:30 PM - 5:00 PM US Mountain
Tactical cyber threat intelligence requires that analysts extract and categorize indicators and adversary tradecraft from intrusions. These actions enable all other levels of threat intelligence by basing intelligence on observations and facts that are relevant to the organization. One of the most commonly used models for assessing adversary intrusions is the "kill chain." This model is a framework to understand the steps an adversary must accomplish to be successful. This section will help tactical threat intelligence develop the skills required to be successful by using the kill chain as a guide. Students will then pivot into open-source intelligence gathering tradecraft to enrich their understanding of the analyzed intrusion. The section walks students through multi-phase intrusions from initial notification of adversary activity to the completion of analysis of the event. The section also highlights the importance of this process to structuring and defining adversary campaigns.

FOR578.3: Tactical/Operational Threat Intelligence: Campaigns and Open-Source Intelligence
Jake Williams
Wed Jul 13th, 2016
9:00 AM - 12:15 PM US Mountain
1:30 PM - 5:00 PM US Mountain
Developing an understanding of adversary campaigns and tradecraft requires piecing together individual intrusions and data points. Organizations of any size will need to complement what they know from internal analysis with open-source intelligence (OSINT) to enrich and validate the information. This allows security personnel to understand dedicated adversaries more fully and consistently defend their environments. In this section, students learn what campaigns are, why they are important, and how to define them. From this baseline intelligence, gaps and collection opportunities are identified for fulfillment via open-source resources and methods. Common types and implementations of open-source data repositories, as well as their use, are explored in-depth through classroom discussion and exercises. These resources can produce an enormous volume of intelligence about intrusions, which may contain obscure patterns that further elucidate campaigns or actors. Tools and techniques to expose these patterns within the data through higher-order analysis will be demonstrated in narrative and exercise form. The application of the resulting intelligence will be articulated for correlation, courses of action, campaign assembly, and more.

1:30 PM - 5:00 PM US Mountain
A core component of intelligence analysis at any level is the ability to defeat biases and analyze information. At the strategic level of cyber threat intelligence, the skills required to think critically are exceptionally important and can have organization-wide or national-level impact. In this section, students will learn about logical fallacies and cognitive biases as well as how to defeat them. They will also learn about nation-state attribution, when it can be of value, and when it is merely a distraction. Students will also learn about nation-state-level attribution from previously identified campaigns and take away a more holistic view of the cyber threat intelligence industry to date. The class will finish with a discussion on consuming threat intelligence and actionable takeaways for students to make significant changes in their organizations after class.

Statements From Our Authors
The author team of Mike Cloppert, Chris Sperry, and Robert M. Lee originally developed FOR578 with the understanding that the community was in need of a single concise collection of tradecraft. Cloppert and Sperry initiated the development of the course with the understanding that their schedules would not permit them to be able to constantly teach it. However, it was through their thought leadership that the class has become what it is today. Their influence on the course development remains, and SANS thanks them for their leadership.
"When considering the value of threat intelligence, most individuals and organizations ask themselves three questions: What is threat intelligence? When am I ready for it? How do I use it? This class answers these questions and more at a critical point in the development of the field of threat intelligence in the wider community. The course will empower analysts of any technical background to think more critically and be prepared to face persistent and focused threats."
- Robert M. Lee
"Threat intelligence is a powerful tool in the hands of a trained analyst. It can provide insight to all levels of a security program, from security analysts responding to tactical threats against the network to executives reporting strategic level threats to the Board of Directors. This course will give students an understanding of the role of threat intelligence in security operations and how it can be leveraged as a game-changing resource to combat an increasingly sophisticated adversary."
- Rebekah Brown
"Before threat intelligence was a buzzword, it was something we all used to just do as part of incident response. But I'll admit that most of us used to do it badly. Or more accurately, ad hoc at best. We simply lacked structured models for intrusion analysis, campaign tracking, and consistent reporting of threats. Today, we need analysts trained in intelligence analysis techniques ready to perform proper campaign modeling, attribution, and threat analysis. The Cyber Threat Intelligence course teaches students all of that, as well as how to avoid cognitive biases in reporting and the use of alternative competing hypothesis in intelligence analysis. These are critical skills that most in industry today absolutely lack."

Hypnotherapy can help you with public speaking
Research has shown that many people's greatest fear is that of speaking in front of others. For some, even social situations can cause inner conflict and lack of confidence.
Here are some of the typical reasons which trigger off a public speaking anxiety.
A Performance (Actors, actresses and musicians finding shows and concerts extremely difficult)
A work-related presentation
A speech at weddings
A public speaking event
A new date
An interview
Court case
Hypnotherapy is a fast and powerful way to help you be a confident speaker. Whether is it a fear of speaking to a few people or a large audience. It could even be people you work with on a regular basis, or even family and friends.
The fear of public speaking can exhibit itself in many ways
These are some of the things people have shared with me over the years:
Forgetting what they are talking about - their mind going blank
Having someone in the audience who knows more than they do
People noticing that they are nervous
The presentation being so awful and embarrassing that their social life or career relationships are ruined
Being asked questions that they have no ready answer to
The avoidance of situations that might include public speaking
Over the years people just like you, have told me it's not just the talk, but the problem usually starts even before the talk. It may be in the form of pre-speaking anxiety. For many people, it starts as soon as they find out they're going to have to talk to a group of people. And then it interferes with their life often many days or weeks before the event.
And then there are the physical symptoms:
Sweaty palms or under arms, even sweaty face
Blushing, even feeling like you may faint!
Elevated blood pressure
Pounding heart – so loud you KNOW the audience has to be able to hear it!
Nausea – upset stomach
And of course, there's also the dreaded:
Racing thoughts
Being afraid you're going to forget what to say
Fear of stuttering
Nobody understating you
Looking stupid
How can hypnotherapy help?
Hypnotherapy can help by building up your confidence enabling you to feel calm and relaxed. During the hypnotherapy session, we will discover the cause of the nervous reactions/reactions with regards to public speaking, so that you are no longer affected by it.
During the Hypnotherapy sessions, you will also learn techniques which enable you to keep calm, maintain control and actually enjoy the experience.

Straight from school Richard went to art college to study 3D design, and although he enjoyed the course, he left without a qualification.
Richard recalls the next few years as going from bad to worse and he entered his twenties in a strange town, homeless, friendless with his only possessions carried in the pockets of his coat. It was at this point that he started to rediscover his creative side and spent the next few years playing guitar in various bands before returning to education.
Despite choosing to study music at university, Richard began painting again, and was inspired to use oils for the first time. He became instantly hooked.
Since then he has sold his work in independent galleries and privately, while developing the style and technique that he has today.

This was sent in from a reader, thanks Luke!, it is a small cottage designed for a family of four. So it is a bit larger than normally covered by this blog, but considering the number of occupants, it is still Tiny. Here is how they describe it:
This compact home design measures just 14m2, but it comfortably accommodates a family of four with everything you want and need to enjoy the simpler things in life. Just two kilometers from their family house and the daily grind, this mini cabin is surrounded by nature, enjoyed through massive windows on every wall. And because the footprint is small, that means minimal environmental impact in terms of construction and energy use. In fact, this passive solar home can operate on sun alone! And because it's just a stone's throw from their everyday house, this sweet retreat also eliminates that hours-long, gas-guzzling commute to "cottage country."

Associated Press Release
ATLANTA (AP) -- Atlanta's airport is keeping its title as the world's busiest.
Airport officials on Tuesday said passenger traffic increased by more than 3.1 million passengers in 2012 -- making 2012 the busiest year ever for Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport.
Authorities said the 2012 total of 95.5 million passengers is 3.35 percent higher than the previous record of 92.4 million passengers, set in 2011.
Louis Miller, the airport's aviation general manager, says the airport remains the world's busiest in terms of passengers and operations.
The airport's annual air cargo decreased by about 2.5 percent - from 663,162 in 2011 to 646,481 metric tons in 2012. Airport officials said the decline in cargo operations reflected a global decrease of consumer purchases and reduced manufacturing.

One hundred sixty seven local law enforcement agencies and municipalities in 40 states and
Puerto Rico received $15.9 million in grants to fund up to 50 percent of the total cost of purchasing and installing metal detectors, locks, lighting, fencing, closed-circuit surveillance systems and other safety equipment in schools. The Secure Our Schools program also funds things such as security assessments, security training, and other measures that will provide a significant improvement in school safety.
Additionally, $10.2 million in grants was awarded to fund partnerships between state or local government agencies and their U.S. Attorney and
Marshals Service offices that focus on locating, arresting, and prosecuting child sexual predators, as well as enforcing state sex offender registration laws. The COPS Office awarded Child Sexual Predator Program grants to 24 government agencies in 18 states. U.S.
"Ensuring the safety of our youth is of critical importance, and this funding will have a meaningful impact in communities throughout the country", said COPS Director Bernard K. Melekian. "Communities that are receiving these grants have made a commitment to a collaborative partnership that will ultimately make a world of difference in reducing youth victimization."
The COPS Office is a federal agency responsible for advancing community policing nationwide. Since 1995, COPS has awarded over $11.3 billion to advance community policing, including grants awarded to more than 13,600 state, local and tribal law enforcement agencies to fund the hiring of officers and provide a variety of knowledge resource products, including community policing publications, training and technical assistance.

Crime was formed in 1976 by Johnny Strike, Frankie Fix, Ron "The Ripper" Greco (ex-Chosen Few/Flamin' Groovies), and Ricky James. They ripped post-hippie San Francisco a metaphorical new one when they released their first (and many say Punk's first) single "Hot Wire My Heart / Baby You're So Repulsive." There was no mistaking these guys for mere rockers; they mixed a rebellious and sexually-charged image (they were most often seen flaunting their vampiric, just-outta-rehab good looks in tight leather, regulation police uniforms, or old-time gangster duds) with their unique blend of intellectual and furious lo-fi rock and roll. Crime found local refuge at the now legendary Mabuhay Gardens, but became nationally notorious after playing a gig at San Quentin Penitentiary in full police uniforms (of course).
In 1977 Hank Rank joined the ranks, but left in 1979. The band split in 1982 when Strike quit Crime to focus on writing. Frankie Fix attempted a Crime reunion in the early 90's, but Strike elected not join in. In 1996 Frankie Fix passed away.

When presented with a breakfast tray of pastries, I typically avoid the Danishes. They are always huge and seem like they will cause a guaranteed food coma within the hour. Secondly, while cupcakes, muffins, and cookies are still delicious at room temperature, cooled puff pastry always has that guy with too much hair gel feel to me.
Most of us have experienced the joy of hot-out-of-the-fryer donuts (if you haven't – get on it!). Hot-out-of-the-oven Danishes are a less common but equally magical experience.
I made these single-serving Danish cupcakes with a cranberry cheese filling. I got a bit carried away with the filling quantity. I knew that it might cause exploding filling syndrome on some of the Danish cupcakes. But, like a kid with a bowl full of Halloween candy and a tummy already aching, I couldn't help myself. I kept over-stuffing because I wanted to eat all of that filling!
If anyone refused to eat these hot bundles of buttery, cheesy, sweet, and tart joy because of a little extra filling creeping out the side, well then, more for me!
Cranberry and Cheese Danish Cupcake Recipe
This recipe is based on Barefoot Contessa's Easy Cheese Danish.
Yield: 12 cupcakes
- 8 ounces cream cheese, room temperature
- 1/3 cup sugar
- 2 large egg yolks, room temperature (Reserve some of the egg whites to brush on top of the pastry.)
- 2 tablespoons ricotta cheese
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 tablespoons cranberry jam (I used my homemade cranberry jam. You could also use any other flavor of jam that you like.)
- Most of a 14 ounce box of puff pastry (Use any leftovers to make croissants filled with chocolate! I prefer to use Dufour puff pastry.)
- Preheat the oven to 375 F.
- In a medium-sized bowl, mix the cream cheese and sugar until smooth.
- Slowly mix in the egg yolks, ricotta, vanilla, and jam until just combined.
- Prepare the danishes as shown below.
- Brush the tops with egg whites.
- Bake for 20 minutes or until they are puffed and just starting to brown.
- Serve hot!
How to Prepare the Danish Cupcakes
To prepare the danish cupcakes, you could just wrap some puff pastry around a glob (a heaping tablespoon) of filling, press to seal at the top, and then bake in a cupcake liner. However, I wanted mine to have a braided effect. You can decide for yourself whether it's worth the effort.

Known for its high-quality laptop cases, Crumpler's designs are only matched by its unique names and surreal imagery. The latest case is the Sophisticator (£120 Inc VAT).
Available in a range of colours, the design is tough and eye-catching. Measuring 420 x 320 x 145mm, laptops of up to 15.4-inches in screen size can be stowed inside its Velcro- secured, padded pocket. An almost limitless amount of pockets occupy the bag for storing everything from MP3 players to pens and paperwork.
With the main zip recessed under a protective flap, it can be tricky to quickly open and close the bag. However, the high-quality of the waterproof fabrics and the comfortable shoulder-strap make this one of the best laptop cases we've seen in a long time.

A coming of age (bohemian) rhapsody
Publisher: Jonathan Cape
What's it about?
This is Mike's life story, as soundtracked by Queen.
When I say soundtracked by Queen, I mean everything is told through a Queen filtered lens. Dawson is something of a superfan, and so all major moments in his life are linked to the band and their music. He's born in England, where he first discovers Queen on Top of the Pops (an old BBC music programme that ran weekly for about 30 years, it was an institution) by watching the video for I Want to Break Free.
What's good about it?
Oh gods, it's embarrassingly accurate to being an obsessed teenage fan. I don't know how many of you were also into music as a teen, but I was. I'd read the music papers from cover to cover. I had my favourite bands I'd listen to over and over. I knew all the trivia. I'd learn the words. I'd spout off about the amazingness of said bands, their music and the members. I'd connect everything with certain bands. I'd take it personally when someone insulted my favourite band. I lived and breathed music.
If you identify with where he's coming from, you'll probably laugh and cry and cringe, just like I did. Then perhaps you'll feel a little bit of pride at the fellow superfan who's grown up and still nurtures that love for Queen.
If you aren't a Queen fan, or aren't a big music fan, you may not find much to interest you. Dawson's life story, judged on it's own merits, isn't particularly interesting. It's the tidbits about his fannish love of Queen that bring life to it, that provide the sometimes funny, sometimes moving, sometimes sad, moments.
Ahh, this is another high point! Dawson's cartooning is fabulous. It's all black and white and it's so expressive. He draws familial resemblances while making each person distinct. His depictions of other rock stars are eerily accurate even though they are a bit caricatured. I've rarely seen real people captured so well on paper.
When he draws Freddie Mercury singing, or himself singing, as in for example the cover of the book, you can feel the energy streaming off the page. Dawson is a natural at drawing epic, intense, charged scenes. When he shows us how he reacted when he found out Freddie died, well, my heart broke for him.
In short, the art is great and is one of the standout aspects to this book.

Shawnee funeral home fills pet cremation niche
August 18, 2011
In a Kansas City, Kan., home that has been filled with dogs and cats through the years, Alexander had the most stories, the Wings figure.
He was a black cat allergic to grass, so the hair on his backside would fall off, and Jayne Wing would sing "I'm too sexy for my hair, that's why my butt is bare" when Alexander walked by with his tail straight up.
He also became the first pet the Wings chose to have cremated, and now Alexander — and the cremains of 13 other cats and dogs —still has a place in their home.
Seven white cardboard boxes are courtesy of The Amos Family Pet Companion Crematory, 10913 Johnson Drive, which opened in 2009. With the remains, sealed and wrapped in a velvet bag, are black ink-stamped paw prints or clay moldings of prints. A handwritten sympathy card from Anne Smith, the Amos Family Chapel funeral home's pet cremation consultant, also is included.
Smith handles the crematory's day-to-day operations out of an office next to the funeral home.
She said the crematory's small size allows for a quick turnaround in delivering remains to pet owners, returning them the same day the animal arrives. And both she and her husband — Mark Smith is the funeral home's director — see the business as a chance to get to know future clientele.
"It's a tremendous way to build relationship with families," Anne Smith said. "Families lose up to half a dozen pets before humans."
Mark Smith said Amos had cremated more than 1,500 pets since it began offering the service. He said most pet owners and veterinarians bring in dogs and cats, but others have also brought in rats, a parakeet, a rabbit and a duck for cremation.
The only funeral home that offers pet cremation services in Johnson County, Amos has seen business from as far away as Ottawa and Louisburg in Kansas and Oak Grove and Warrensburg in Missouri, Mark Smith said.
For pets less than 150 pounds, the crematory charges $130 for a private cremation, meaning the pet is cremated exclusively rather than communally and its remains are returned to its family. For pets heavier than 150 pounds — Anne Smith said Amos has cremated dogs north of 200 pounds — the cost is $175.
Communal cremation — $45 for 150 pounds or less and $80 for pets up to 250 pounds — ensures that pets' remains will be spread across a Smith family property about 85 miles south of Shawnee.
Jayne Wing said she and her husband, Dan, have gotten used to the family thinking they're nuts. Their daughters' only concern is what happens when they die, Jayne Wing said.
"My husband and I plan to be cremated, so we're like 'just thrown them in with us,'" Jayne Wing said.
When her time comes, Edie Ommerman said she'd like her pet's remains scattered atop her grave.
Ommerman, a retired schoolteacher, fosters dogs at her Overland Park home, though she admitted that she has flunked the fostering part on more than one occasion, instead taking a dog in as her own.
Kong, Ommerman's 10-year-old malamute-shepherd mix, died in June.
The funeral home laid Kong on the table in a viewing room that precedes the cremation area. Under dim lighting while a stereo played a CD of soothing music, Ommerman brought in Lakota, the malamute she still has, so they both could say goodbye. Lakota worshipped Kong, Ommerman said.
Anne Smith told Ommerman to take her time. Ommerman told Kong she loved him, kissed him, crossed him and cried. Lakota sniffed him and gave him a kiss, too.
"We two were miserable together," Ommerman said.
Before Kong, Czar — a 15-year-old doberman-lab mix — died the day before Thanksgiving. Czar now rests in an urn with his buddy Koda, who died when he was 13 years old. Before those dogs were Misty, a German shepherd, and Copper, a border collie mix, who, as an inseparable pair in life, also share an urn, Ommerman said.
Ommerman said she wanted to clear some space on her shelves on her home's main floor, so that all her pets could rest in proximity. For now, Czar and Koda are upstairs in her son's old room.
"I'm a little crazy when it comes to my dogs," Ommerman said. "But it's my responsibility in taking them on. Through no fault of their own, they ended up in shelters."
Last week, Lexie, a medium-size mutt, became the seventh pet the Wings have had cremated at Amos since March 2010.
Dan and Jayne take in animals from around the neighborhood, either those let loose in the woods behind their home or abused and abandoned nearby.
As it has for Ommerman, cremation has been an opportunity for the Wings to honor pets that began their lives in troubling circumstances with a distinction long thought to be the norm for only humans.
"Our feeling is that these poor animals were abandoned and abused or had something horrible happen to them, and we just want them to know that we love them," Jayne Wing said.
And yes, the Wings and Ommerman still talk to their departed pets. Ommerman said she even says hello to her "boys" when she calls her answering machine to leave herself a message while she's away.
"They've never left me," Ommerman said.
Tom Ohmes handles nearly all of Amos' pet cremations — at times picking up a pet from someone's home. He said he's gotten used to the cremation area's baking heat, or as accustomed as is possible to being within arm's reach of a device that routinely reaches 1,675 degrees Fahrenheit.
Ohmes is in his sixth year with the funeral home after spending 25 years as facilities director for St. Joseph School. As if he needed to point it out, Ohmes said going from being around kids to cremating pets was a shift in environment.
"But I enjoy it," he said.
Ohmes is gentle and concise with his words, but he speaks up when he talks about pets.
"That is their family," he said of pets' relationship to their owners. "They're always there for you, they never talk back. They're there greeting you when you come home and they're there sitting right next to you on the couch."
Before long, Ohmes is talking about his own 6-year-old shih tzu, Sherman, whom Ohmes said the family would now also consider for cremation to remember him by.
"After seeing it now, I would," Ohmes said.
Ohmes said about half of Amos' pet cremations are communal, often from veterinarian offices. Anne Smith talks to four main offices each week from Overland Park, Blue Valley, Kansas City, Kan., and Shawnee's Mill Creek Animal Hospital.
"Everybody always wondered what happened after the vet's office," Ohmes said. "Now they know where they're at. Now there's some closure. At least they know where their final resting place is."

I don't know what it is about these days, but there are some great international animation teams doing great work. Take for instance Fruit Punch Studio. The group consists of graduates from The One Academy in Malayasia. Ninja Vs. Pirates is pretty self explanatory. The title says it all. It's a ninja against a pirate. There are some funny moments. Being that the ninja was on the heavy end, you kind of know what the ending was going to be about.
As far as animation goes, top notch all the way around. Smooth and fluid as some of the big boys. Story was simple and easily understandable. Character design was different, but not ugly. The colors were very vibrant and relaxed. Hopefully this isn't a one-time-thing and that the guys at Fruit Punch Studio create more in the future.

"Six by Sondheim" a treat for musical theater buffs
Stephen Sondheim, definer of modern American musical theater, lets the rest of us in on his methods for writing music and lyrics, along with his demons, his joy in the creative process and his artistic intentions in a terrific film, "Six by Sondheim," premiering Dec. 9 on HBO. This one's a keeper, a well-defined documentary and a 90-minute treat for musical theater buffs.
Rather than chronicle six decades in theater through 20+ shows and a long list of awards, this documentary narrows the focus and goes deeper: studying six iconic songs and offering re-stagings and amazing archival footage (Ethel Merman in "Gypsy"!).
Credit Sondheim collaborator James Lapine who directed and Frank Rich, former chief theatre critic for the New York times now at New York, who co-executive produced with Lapine for the clever approach. The songs parsed here: "Something's Coming," from "West Side Story," in collaboration with Leonard Bernstein. "Opening Doors" from "Merrily We Roll Along." "Send in the Clowns," written for Glynis Johns in "A Little Night Music" –Sondheim's only "hit," thanks to popular recordings by Judy Collins and Frank Sinatra. "I'm Still Here," written as a replacement song during the Boston tryout of "Follies." "Being Alive," from "Company," sung by Dean Jones in an excerpt from the documentary about the making of the cast album. And "Sunday," the song Sondheim says is closest to his heart, the song about immortality from "Sunday in the Park with George."
From his debut at 27 as the lyricist for "West Side Story," through "Sweeney Todd" and "Sunday in the Park with George," Sondheim says his great love is teaching. He does a great deal to educate viewers now and for future generations by participating in this documentary.

Stephen Dorrell, the former health secretary who now chairs the House of Commons health committee, made a £70,000 profit from the controversial deal which has not previously been publicly declared.
Last night, Mr Dorrell admitted he had arranged for his friends Linton and Denise Connell to buy the flat near the Commons so that he could rent it back from them after a crackdown in the wake of the 2009 MPs' expenses scandal.
After being approached by The Daily Telegraph about the arrangement last night, Mr Dorrell said he would be declaring it to fellow MPs on the health committee, which started the inquiry into social care in June this year.
Mr Dorrell, a health secretary in John Major's government between 1995 and 1997, is an influential voice in elderly care, one of the Government's most controversial policy areas.
Labour last night questioned Mr Dorrell's arrangement. One MP, John Mann, said he should consider his position as committee chairman, adding: "[His committee] will want to know what is going on. This raises questions about his independence. He needs to demonstrate that he has no links, personal or professional, to these landlords."
Last night a spokesman for the Independent Parliamentary Standards Authority (Ipsa) – which released details of Mr Dorrell's deals and those of more than 300 others on Monday – said that it appeared no rules had been broken because MPs are only banned from renting from family members and companies in which they have an interest.
But the disclosure that a senior Conservative has been caught up in the controversy over expenses will raise further concerns that 51 MPs have been allowed to keep their rental details secret.
Information released by Ipsa shows that Mr Dorrell is renting a second home from Linton and Denise Connell in central London, paying the pair £17,033 in 2011-12, which works out at £1,400 a month.
Mr and Mrs Connell, whom Mr Dorrell described as his friends, are both directors of St Cloud Care, which runs a string of homes in Worcestershire providing care for 300 people.
Mr Dorrell, who is on a visit to Scandinavia with the committee, said last night that he had lived at the one-bedroom flat in Westminster for 33 years, initially renting it from his family before buying it in 2007. According to his expenses files, which were disclosed by The Daily Telegraph in 2009, he attempted to claim £758 in July 2006 while the "flat was being refurbished" but was refused.
After buying the flat, he claimed for the interest on his mortgage for three years until 2010 when he arranged for the Connells to buy the property after new Ipsa rules banned MPs from claiming mortgage interest. Land registry records show that Mr Dorrell bought the flat, which is in a mansion block, for £280,000. He sold it to the Connells for £350,000.
Mr Dorrell said he had not declared the relationship in the register of members' interests because he was not deriving any financial benefit from the arrangement. Mr Dorrell said he was "perfectly happy to explain it to the committee, there is no financial interest because it's an arm's-length rent."
He said: "This is a flat that I occupied for 33 years and at one stage was owned by my family – because when I got into the House of Commons you were not allowed to have a mortgage, so I rented from them.
"Then I bought it on an interest only mortgage, because that was the rule at the time, and that ended. So I arranged for a third party to buy it. We had an independent assessment of the rent and it is rented at arms length."
Linton Connell declined to answer questions emailed to him by The Daily Telegraph.
Mr Dorrell described the Connells – who live in a £1 million property they bought in 2002, 15 miles from Mr Dorrell's constituency home in Charnwood, Leicestershire – as his "friends".
In 2010, Mr Connell sponsored Mr Dorrell's son £25 to go on a cycle ride, telling him: "Good Luck! Matt's in the Himalayas now. You'll both have stories of your epic adventures to tell one another! The Connells."
St Cloud describes itself on its website as "a family run business and we take pride in creating a caring and friendly environment." However, some of its six homes were criticised by the Care Quality Commission during inspections in September. The CQC said of Holmwood care centre in Kidderminster that "improvements" were required in three areas, including "standards of caring for people safely and protecting them from harm".
Mr Dorrell has said he is open to the idea of a fit and proper person test on care home ownership.

Kenneth "Mike" Michael Heenan
JANESVILLE—Kenneth "Mike" Heenan died unexpectedly at his home on Sunday, December 2, 2012. Mike was born on September 23, 1942 to Kenneth and Dorothy (Van Hise) Heenan. Mike attended Janesville schools through the 9th grade in Special Education classes. He was employed his entire life and started his kitchen career with the Schwartzlow family at Krauses Town and Country Restaurant. He worked there for 30 plus years until the restaurant's closing. After that he worked at Bishop's Buffet, McDonalds, and finally at Best Events. After his retirement, he volunteered at The Salvation Army four days a week. Mike was never one to sit at home. In the winter months, after his volunteer work, he could be seen at one of his two bowling leagues, or at one of the local grocery stores wandering the aisles looking for good deals. In the summer, he was a member of the Special Olympics Bocce ball league. He was a pretty good cook, but most of his specialties involved a deep fryer. Mike loved the Badgers, Brewers, and the Packers and you could be sure that when you saw Mike, he would be wearing one of his team's tee shirts. He especially liked attending his nephew's baseball and hockey games, especially if the concession stand was open and he could get a bag of popcorn.
Mike is survived by his loving family, brother, Doug and his wife, Sandy; his nieces, Kendra Joyce of Janesville and Holly Heenan of Madison; and his great nephew and niece, Conor and Ellen Joyce. He is also survived by his aunts and uncles: Bob Holden of Janesville, John and Laurel VanHise of California, Joan Widener of Nevada; and many cousins. He was predeceased by his parents and his special friend, "Cousin Paulie" Paul Bier.
Mike's family would like to thank Nancy Bennett of the former South Central Cerebral Palsy group, the staff at the Independent Disability Services and the Salvation Army for their relationship with Mike.
Funeral services will be held at 11:00 a.m. on Friday, Dec. 7, 2012, at the SCHNEIDER APFEL SCHNEIDER & SCHNEIDER FUNERAL HOME and CREMATORY, Janesville, with Major Bob Fay officiating. Burial will follow in Oak Hill Cemetery. Visitation will take place on Friday from 10:00 a.m. until the hour of services at the SCHNEIDER APFEL SCHNEIDER & SCHNEIDER FUNERAL HOME and CREMATORY. Memorials can be made to either The Salvation Army or to Independent Disability Services.

I'm sure we've all been there, regretfully stressing over last month's phone bill. Well, no longer do you have to worry about your phone bill arriving and going over budget because you made a few international phone calls. Make all the calls you want, even long distance for a simple pennies a day. Introducing OOMA, which is a free home phone service that provides unlimited U.S calling and low rates on international phone calls. OOMA is so intricate it was founded in 2004, but wasn't released until 2007. Upon its arrival, OOMA had to ensure its features were correct and appealing to its users but first it had to create options and give a valid incentive for users to want to switch phone programs.
The interesting fact about the OOMA Phone System is it's easy to get started and you are able to use it in as little as 15 minutes. To get started you would have to plug in your home phone line and high-speed internet into the OOMA device. You are able to use landline integration or pure internet phone options to use OOMA. This device even comes with a built in voicemail system which can be accessed over the internet via the OOMA Lounge. Once this is done you are able to make crystal clear calls over the internet, you don't even have to have a headset, and you would just talk into your phone like you normally would.
There is a set up fee and bundle fee, however when you take into consideration how much money will be saved throughout its usage the set up and bundle fees become minute. Many people spend over$100.00 a month on their monthly phone bill. However with the Omma Phone System, your phone bill will be cut drastically. OOMA Hub Bundle retails for $249.99 and includes the OOMA Hub, OOMA Scout, and a 60 day trial of OOMA Premier. Outside of these fees there are monthly charges for sales tax which varies by your zip code. However, this price is very reasonable, for example I checked for Los Angeles and the cost was a measly $3.47. Most individuals spend, on average, $10.00 a month on their phone bill after making the switch. When comparing phone services similar to the OOMA, the OOMA is a far better deal because you receive excellent service and features while you will be saving money and energy plus you have many options that other services similar to OOMA do not offer. You are able to use the OOMA anywhere there is a high speed internet connection. This does not limit you to where you will be able to use the device. The OOMA is a standalone device that does not require a computer for operation because the OOMA system was designed to work with a landline backup. If you decide to use the internet for connection and the internet is down, you are able to still make emergency phone calls.
The OOMA has the option of changing your phone number which is free, if you'd like to keep your old number there is a small one-time fee that applies. To keep your phone number the same there is a one-time charge of $34.99. All OOMA systems come with premium features such as: US Calling, Caller ID, Call Waiting, and Voice Mail. Although routing the calls over the internet, if you decide to connect the device to the internet, safety is the last of your worries. OOMA uses the latest in data encryption technologies and security to deliver secure calls. OOMA uses VoIP, voice over internet protocol, and PureVoice HD which delivers the utmost clarity. I was able to personally use the OOMA system and was taken aback by how user friendly it was and the clarity. This system is very simple to navigate through because it gives you voice operated commands and is also color coded. If the device lights up blue that means everything is good, if it happens to light up red that means that something is going wrong either with your connection or your device.
Overall the OOMA is a huge success! It is equipped with all of the latest technology, gives its users options, and delivers remarkable results at a compelling price! I recommend this phone system to anyone wanting to keep up with technology and the latest invention. You have nothing to lose, and you not only will be saving money but you will be saving time and energy as well.

I'm back from a week's vacation with The Wife in North Carolina, during which time my "beta readers" have been sharing their feedback with me on the manuscript for Hunter.
I'm tremendously encouraged by their enthusiastic responses, and humbled by their detailed critiques and suggestions. The published book will be much improved, thanks to their invaluable input and insights.
This week, I'll be racing to incorporate corrections and tweaks, kick development of a new "fiction" blog into gear; finalize my marketing plan; and prepare the manuscript for ebook and print-book publication. There are many things to do, so my posts will be limited here. But I hope that the book -- which should be available by the end of June in ebook editions, and early July in print -- will be more than a worthy substitute for blog posts.

Spring 2020 classes have resumed online.Please visit
dcccd.edu/coronavirus for additional information and to
learn how to prepare for online classes.
This article appeared in a February 2016 issue of the student newsletter.
Service-Learning is an exciting program at DCCCD that lets you do good for your community while doing good for yourself. How? By applying what you learn in the classroom to
real-world community projects.
A fun way to learn about the Service-Learning program is to stop by a Service-Learning Fair. This exciting student event will help you decide what service project you may want to get involved in.
At the fair you can chat with representatives from the many
community nonprofit agencies and ask any questions you may have.
Here are the dates for the Spring 2016 fairs:
Both volunteering and Service-Learning are valuable. But there are differences.
Here's an example of the difference, courtesy of the National Service-Learning Clearinghouse:
"If school students collect trash out of an urban streambed, they are providing a service to the community as volunteers, a service that is highly valued and important. On the other hand, when school students collect trash from an urban streambed, then analyze what they found and its possible sources so they can share the results with residents of the neighborhood along with suggestions for reducing pollution, they are engaging in Service-Learning."
serve, and you
learn. You go beyond textbook content and engage in problem-solving in the real world. The result: You gain critical-thinking skills that can serve you throughout life.
Are you ready to develop new skills? Explore new career possibilities? How about make a difference in the community?
Sounds like you are ready for the Service-Learning program!
Check out the Service-Learning website to browse community agencies, view program benefits, sign up for the program, and much more!
Questions about the Service Learning Fair? Contact
your college's campus coordinator. Spring 2016 enrollment for this life-changing program is open now, so don't wait! Get going and get giving!

Photos from June 2013
Old Brunswick Town predates the American Revolution and was once an important port along the Cape Fear River. The growing size and importance of nearby Wilmington chipped away at Brunswick's significance and population. In 1776, the British attacked the town and scattered its few remaining residents, and the town was never rebuilt. During the Civil War, the site was used to construct Fort Anderson. Once nearby Fort Fisher fell, the Union then set its sights on Fort Anderson, ultimately pushing out the Confederates and claiming the fort.
Many of the foundations of the town have been excavated and restored. Walls from the St. Philips church still stand. A trail runs through the site with signs describing the businesses and dwellings of the town and even runs along and on the mounds of Fort Anderson. The visitor's center offers a small museum with artifacts found on the site.
For more information, check out Brunswick Town & Fort Anderson's official site.

Petrobras Idles Six Platforms in Campos Basin Due to Coronavirus
Brazil's state-run oil company Petroleo Brasileiro SA said in a letter to the workers union on Thursday that it will idle six oil and gas platforms in five fields of the Campos basin due to the coronavirus epidemic.The company said the idling was aimed at reducing costs in the middle of the crisis hitting the oil industry, the letter seen by Reuters said.It comes at a time when Petrobras is trying to adapt to the new scenario of oil prices that have fallen about 50% this year due to the retreat in demand during the pandemic and the price war sparked by Russia and Saudi Arabia.The letter dated on Wednesday said the current crisis was the worst in 100 years.

OPEC, Russia and other allies outlined plans on Thursday to cut their oil output by more than a fifth and said they expected the United States and other producers to join in their effort to prop up prices hammered by the coronavirus crisis.But the group, known as OPEC+, said a final agreement was dependent on Mexico signing up to the pact after it balked at the production cuts it was asked to make. Discussions among top global energy ministers will resume on Friday.The planned output curbs by OPEC+ amount to 10 million barrels per day (bpd) or 10% of global supplies, with another 5 million bpd expected to come from other nations to help deal with the deepest oil crisis in decades.

The recent Mandiant report fingered China as the culprit behind a concerted effort to hack U.S. companies and infrastructure.
Hackers had illegally appropriated billions of bytes, full terrabytes of proprietary information. Words like "sophisticated" and "well-organized" and "state-sponsored" flew around the airwaves.
Tim Simonite of MIT Technology Review thinks, however, that these guys were "sloppy."
From MIT Tech Review:
Many tactics discovered that way seem poor choices for a group whose work depends on avoiding detection. Operatives were seen to routinely log into Facebook, Twitter, and Gmail accounts using their victims' computers.
Mandiant says the hackers would log in to Facebook, Twitter, and Gmail from infected computers. Once logged in, they would send the spearfishing attacks which were the basis of their espionage.
Consequently, those computers were also Mandiant-monitored. The company would watch them log in and steal their passwords, which they in turn used to track and expose certain Chinese hackers in their report.
It should be noted though, the above description is just one of many ways Mandiant tracked China's hackers.
Also, Mandiant says they used this tactic to avoid the "Great Firewall of China," which Simonite says is strange, considering China's hacking outfit should have permissions freeing them from the wall.
It's possible Mandiant did not want to reveal too much about how it tracked the hacking outfit — the cyber security firm warned upon release of the report that China would quickly adjust their efforts to avoid detection.

>First read this Bloomberg article and this very brief piece from Seeking Alpha.
Then read the latest from Evans-Pritchard in the Telegraph.
You do understand that you, your children, and your grandchildren are being beggared not only to pay for utterly unsustainable domestic entitlement programs, but also to keep European banks afloat, don't you?
You also get that the 30 trillion Euro (~$39.1 trillion USD) liability figure cited above by AE-P will be backstopped, going forward, in large part by the remaining productive American taxpaying suckers such as you and me, right?
And finally, you do know that we moronic American serfs will receive exactly cock-a-doodle-doo in exchange for this transatlantic thievery, ja?
So what are you going to do about it?
Write a letter?
Make a phone call?
Wave a protest sign?
Cast a vote?
How's that working out for you?
Even more importantly, how's your tactics thus far working out for your children and grandchildren?
Do you understand yet?
