ScanAlert - XSS is not our problem
This weekend someone directed me to another negative ScanAlert article, beyond Geeks.com, about their dubious "Hacker Safe" website badge. According to the story, Kevin Fernandez and Dimitris Pagkalos of XSSed.com provided InformationWeek with a list of 62 popular brand websites vulnerable to XSS who proudly display the logo. Also Russ McRee, another security researcher, notified Toastmasters.org about the same problem – an XSS vulnerability under the auspices of being Hacker Safe. The story forgot to mention all the websites on sla.ckers.org too, but you get the idea.
On any other day this would have been old news, we know their reputation, but company representatives from ScanAlert (acquired by McAfee) and Symantec made some rather peculiar statements.
"Joseph Pierini, director of enterprise services for the ScanAlert "Hacker Safe" program, maintains that XSS vulnerabilities can't be used to hack a server."
Mr. Pierini misses the point entirely, which I thought was to prevent user data from falling into the hacker's hands. It makes no difference if the hacker can't penetrate the server (database) directly - they can still use XSS to compromise users while they shop on the "Hacker Safe" website.
"XSS vulnerabilities do present a serious risk. However, to date their real-world use has been limited," said Oliver Friedrichs, director of Symantec Security Response in an e-mail."
What the!?! "Real world use has been limited"? In comparison to what!? Wait, don't tell me. Malware right!? I guess the millions of exploited users between MySpace, Google's Orkut, PayPal, Italian Banks and many others out there don't count. Neither does being the most reported issue according to Mitre, #1 on the OWASP Top Ten, #1 on WASC Statistics, and listed on the SANS 20.
"XSS vulnerabilities can result in the theft of session cookies, Web site login credentials, and exploitation of trust. XSS vulnerabilities are site-specific, and therefore their life cycle is limited; they become extinct once they're discovered and repaired by the Web site owners."
This makes no sense. On one hand Mr. Friedrichs seems to be saying everything the hacker needs to own a users account is compromised. Then on the other that's OK because each XSS issue is unique and fixed immediately once the website owner knows about it. Does that happen before or after the website is scanned by ScanAlert or they get notified by XSSed.com? Seesh.
"Pierini maintains that XSS vulnerabilities aren't material to a site's certification."
I guess so, it is your certification after all, but for PCI-DSS it matters. And its not like your website claims to identify XSS? Oh wait!? It does! Perhaps the website list was generated from crazy complicated RSnake cheat sheet XSS issues, uhhh maybe not, they seem to be the plain vanilla and easy-to-find-in-a-few-minutes variety.
"Cross-site scripting can't be used to hack a server," he said. "You may be able to do other things with it. You may be able to do things that affect the end-user or the client."
You mean like hack the user and compromise their data when they click a link?
"But the customer data protected with the server, in the database, isn't going to be compromised by a cross-site scripting attack, not directly."
Yep, safe and sound in the database, and safe in the hacker's DB too!
"Pierini dismisses the suggestion that certifying a site as "Hacker Safe" when it remains vulnerable to XSS attacks could be confusing to consumers. "
Nah, it's not confusing to users who don't know any better, just to the security experts.
"He insists that the meaning of the certification is clear and notes that his company's scanning service reports the XSS flaws it finds to its clients."
If you say so.
"Cross-site scripting can be used to do a variety of things, but it's all on the client side. And that's an area that we don't have control over."
It's funny because most security experts, industry bodies, and respected website owners believe XSS is a serious problem *FOR THE WEBSITE AS WELL AS THE USER*. OWASP, WASC, Mitre, SANS, Google, Yahoo, Microsoft, and on and on. All except ScanAlert apparently, maybe they know something we don't.
Ahhh its Monday, sounds like the beginning of an interesting week.

HackerSafe; well as long as it's not XSS/SQL injection or anything else our scanner can't pickup....
Pierini, you need to seriously learn about this industry, the threats involved and also when to speak your mind without doing the necessary research! - January 21, 2008 at 8:53 AM
Jericho from attrition had a lot of the same stuff to say:

brilliant, thats for the heads up cji. I updated the post with the link.
- January 21, 2008 at 10:09 AM
I know that nowadays XSS is really popular and such but what about other known attacks like SQL injection. Is there any results or data about SQL injection against Hacksafe websites?
It might make the number of website hacked be much more than 60...
Francois L - January 21, 2008 at 12:22 PM
- Jeremiah Grossman said...
Francois, good question, and I don't think there is. Where with XSS people feel fairly confident they can test and disclosure issues legally. SQL Injection on the other hand, not so much. Lotta damage could be caused there.
- January 21, 2008 at 1:20 PM
I could say the same thing about WhiteHatSec's Sentinel. Black-box, zero-knowledge assessments do not find all the XSS in any given application.
The difference is that ScanAlert runs Nessus version 2 (open-source), so we know where the limitations are. With SaaS models such as Sentinel, we all have no idea -- and with no industry benchmarks or comparisons, it's like starting from scratch at the RFP.
Pot :: Kettle - January 21, 2008 at 3:11 PM
- Jeremiah Grossman said...
Thats a fair argument, but the same could be said for any approach to vulnerability identification. Anyone want to go on record guaranteeing 100% of the vulnerabilities will be found? Of course not, but that's not the point being made.
Which is...ScanAlert is saying badge displaying websites are "Hacker Safe" and speaking out of both sides of their mouth. They say they identify XSS, listed next to SQL Injection, while at the same time discounting its importance. Does this sound right to you?
And if our defense, we're trying everything we can to get a fair comparison made to other solution by any third-party. But there were only two reviews performed last year, Jordan's and Larry's. We got dropped from Jordan's at the last minute because he ran out of time and we didn't know anything about Larry's when he did the work.
The challenge reviews are having is matching SaaS with product is like comparing apples and oranges.... we'll do the best we can to get included in 2008. - January 21, 2008 at 3:20 PM
I will go with Jeremiah on this, Scanalert states a different message with their badge in comparison with the other web scanners in the market. Any companies can say they have the best scanner on the market. It's marketing. It's pride on your product.
But there is a huge difference when a company sells a product with a badge "Hacksafe" on it.
Besides if there are indeed security problems on the website and they use that logo to make me, the customer, feel safe about it then the company lies to me.
Here lies the difference.
P.S. Jeremiah that's funny you put that picture because each time I go to work I see it... I thought the same for Hacksafe... What are they trying to do? Do the same mistake as Oracle with their "unbreakable" statement? :)
Francois - January 21, 2008 at 4:04 PM
- Jeremiah Grossman said...
@Francois, yah... posting the picture was just too priceless to pass up. I saw some other ones in the airport recently. Sheesh, I could never be a marketer.
- January 21, 2008 at 4:12 PM
"XSS can't be used to hack a server." eh? lol.
maybe they need to take a closer look to my freshly minted universal XSS worm that tries to spawn PHP shells on a server:
How's that for hacking webservers.
It's about time they WAKE up. - January 21, 2008 at 5:23 PM
- Shoaib Yousuf said...
I dont think so Scansafe know the meaning of hacking...
Whether user session is compromised or user credentials it is still the part of hacking....
XSS is ScanAlert problem. But, if they dont care for this issue then we really can't do much.
Shoaib - January 21, 2008 at 6:40 PM
I think the main issue here is the devaluing of the certification.
If ScanAlert have genuinely been notifying their clients to the existence of the XSS issues (which subsequently haven't been fixed promptly), but they have kept the site's status as certified, then as a consumer, the certification means very little.
HackerSafe simply means "subscribes to ScanAlert"; nothing more. - January 23, 2008 at 4:57 AM
Web site security badges are a double edged sword. They send a message and hang a kick me sign on your assets. (Never a better example than Larry hanging a kick me sign on the whole company).
XSS have been routinely ignored. It took almost 18 months from them being discovered before most people woke up and realized that it wasn't just web server 404 pages. It took a good round of outing.
OWASP and PCI are right to focus on these problems. - January 23, 2008 at 8:33 AM
DD at Beast or Buddha told me he copped some abuse from the regional ScanAlert distributer in AP after he sent a Newsletter out to clients pointing people to his post, which I think he also referenced you. He said he would not censor a response but nothing has been posted! That's a surprise!
- January 24, 2008 at 6:44 AM
I am not buying anything online that is "Hacker Safe."
It is a shame that those organizations using Hacker Safe may not even now if they have been hacked anyway. Good Luck. - January 24, 2008 at 8:46 AM
It's obvious these douchebag's are doing nothing to benefit the security of the sites they scan. They're just in it to make a buck.
- January 24, 2008 at 1:13 PM
Scan alert are only one out of many which have serious problems with XSS / SQL injection in their PCI scan. The thing are that a PCI scan should NOT detect webapp vulnerabilities (despite the fact, that this is where all the easy exploited vulns are) except for xss and sql-injection.
ScanAlerts technology (together with qualys and a lot of others) do only detect known xss /sql inj. vulns. So its done by looking for known software like guestbooks and such, where vuln are reported.
These tools will not detect vulnerabilities in custom made program and they will not crawl the site to discover all pages in the website.
But they are still certified as PCI scan vendor, with ability to detect XSS and SQL injection, why?
- because PCI councils certification of the ASV vendors only contains 2 web vulnerabilities which both are reported vulnerabilities in known programs.
Thats perfect for Scanalert but it a joke for all others.
And will PCI council change their certification??
No, "global adoption of the program are more important than everything else". Putting a large discount ASV out of business would delay the adoption of the standard - March 6, 2008 at 1:10 PM
As far as PCI DSS is concerned, ASVs are for requirement 11.2 related to vulnerability scanning. ASVs are required to perform non-authenticated and non-disruptive scans on production environment and hence they tend to be lighter on web app vulns.
Requirement 6.6 and the new clarification on it deal with running web app scanning tools on pre-production environment. So both these requirements must be dealt with to be really secure in addition to all the other requirements in the DSS. - April 19, 2008 at 11:26 PM

With so many other websites promoting books, why is there a need for this?
I belong to many of those other websites and too many times books by and about us are relegated to a forum. This site has been formed as a collective place for both authors of African American lit and bloggers that read and review their works.
It will allow authors to promote their work directly to a community that also promotes books through their blogs.
It will allow bloggers to interact with authors they're already reading, discover new authors and give them a chance to provide those authors with open and honest feedback. It will also allow bloggers to promote their own blogs to authors and other bloggers of African American lit.
I hope to see you over there!

Saving more and spending less - may not sound like a lot of fun, but some of our listeners are really excited about it.
UNIDENTIFIED PERSON #1: I'm actually super jazzed about it (laughter). It's, like, all I want to talk about.
UNIDENTIFIED PERSON #2: And I am a budgeting wizard.
INSKEEP: NPR's Chris Arnold has an encore presentation, which means we are revisiting a great story from our Life Kit podcast.
CHRIS ARNOLD: OK. Let's start with this - don't start a budget just because you think it's something that you should do. Like, oh, geez, I'm a grown-up; I need to do this tedious thing now.
KRISTIN WONG: I think most of us, when we start budgeting or start wanting to get our finances in order, that's the goal, the best goal that we come up with.
ARNOLD: That's Kristin Wong. She's written a book called "Get Money." And she says, instead, think of a specific goal to motivate you to budget - a trip, paying off a debt, working towards a down payment on a house.
WONG: I mean, also, like, who wants to be a responsible adult (laughter), you know? That just doesn't sound fun.
ARNOLD: (Laughter) Deep down, that's not really what we want.
So if you've got your goal, now it's time to break out the pencils. And Wong says it's a good rule of thumb here that a lot of experts refer to - it's called 50/30/20. And Elizabeth Warren actually used to talk about this back when she was a Harvard professor, and she was looking into the pressures that middle-class families face - 50/30/20.
WONG: It goes like this. Fifty percent of your after-tax take-home income should go toward basic living necessities like your rent, like your groceries, like your utility bill.
ARNOLD: Your car payment, too. So that's easy - half your income for the big fixed costs in life.
WONG: And then 30% should go toward discretionary expenses - things that you don't necessarily need but you want, like your Netflix subscription, restaurant spending, you know, clothing, makeup - stuff like that.
ARNOLD: And then that last part, the 20% that's left over...
WONG: Should go toward savings and debt goals.
ARNOLD: The saving, of course, can be really hard. But making automatic deposits into an account for savings can help a lot. And with this 50/30/20 thing, what you're doing is you're starting to organize and place limits on your spending.
JESSE MECHAM: The budget - it's a tool to manufacture scarcity regularly.
ARNOLD: That's Jesse Mecham. He started the budgeting program You Need A Budget, or YNAB for short. And we should say the company's been a sponsor of NPR before. Mecham says, however you budget, you want to harness the power of scarcity.
MECHAM: We've eliminated the scarcity because banks have introduced very profitable mechanisms to have you just walk past zero and overdraft a little bit and pay them a fee. Or you can just - if you run out of money in your checking account, you just swipe your credit card, and you've walked past zero again. We've gotten really used to the idea that we never really run out of money.
ARNOLD: So Mecham says you get specific - I'm only going to spend this much on groceries or eating out, and you stick to it. And he says people associate budgeting with imprisonments. But actually, he says, it's the opposite.
MECHAM: It's really about being liberated to start to decide what you want to do instead of just reacting to everything that comes your way. And so it's not about saying, hey, don't spend here. Don't spend there. Cut back on this. Never eat out. None of that. It's just about saying, what do you really want?
ARNOLD: And this is why some people get really into budgeting - actually enjoy it - because it puts you in the driver's seat, making better decisions. And that trip to the Yucatan or buying a house can actually happen.

Good news for mountain bikers looking to hit a trail this long Memorial Day Weekend. The fabulous Mammoth Mountain Bike Park will open to riders this Saturday, kicking off another great summer season with a variety of trail options for riders of all skill levels.
Located in California's scenic Sierra Nevada range, Mammoth Mountain is a year-round outdoor playground for those who like to get away from it all. In the winter it offers some of the premiere skiing in all of North America and in the summer the bike park opens for a completely different type of fun. The park offers more than 80 miles of trail that includes cross-country, single-track routes with breathtaking views and adrenaline-inducing downhill courses for the more adventurous amongst us.
Mammoth Mountain's trails offer gentle riding for beginners and more technical and leg-straining options for the experienced mountain biker. When the park opens on Saturday at least 12 of its trails will be ready for action. If you're already familiar with what the park has to offer, the list of trails that will be open include: Downtown, UpTown, Big Ring, Paper Route, Juniper, Timber Ridge, Shotgun, Lower Pipeline, Lower Bullet Lakes Trail and Pioneer Practice Loop.
To celebrate the opening of the park for the summer, Mammoth is also offering an outstanding deal for this weekend. Just $69 will get you both lodging and a bike pass good for unlimited riding. You'll have a hard time getting on this course for less cash than that anytime soon. What a great way to kick off the summer!

In March 2018 a FW ( fellow worker) working in Child Protection for Bristol City Council (BCC) was suspended from his post. He was charged with issues under the code of conduct, and most of the first set of allegations against him related to a closed Labour Party Facebook page. The group are made up of labour activists, who regularly discuss policy and procedure in BCC. The FW was conversing with a union shop steward about the Walter Ayles anti-war artwork. This had been taken down after orders from BCC. But after an outcry, the Council had to apologise, and the artwork was replaced.The face book posting had been given to the council by Mayor Marvin Rees. Therefore, rather than just speaking to the labour party member, he tried to get them dismissed from their post in Child Protection. He also, by his actions, closed down a labour party face book group, and shut down free speech concerning BCC's activities. Furthermore, he may have breeched rights of members under data protection legislation. All in all, Mayor Rees has attacked his own party members, and stopped them discussing his own policies. Hardly a beacon of democracy, and more will be forthcoming about this. Probably just prior to his reselection attempts.
Marvin failed to get the activist sacked for this, but then BCC forwarded more allegations, and tried to refuse our FW trade union support. The Head of Workforce, a Mr John Walsh wrote in an email, that the IWW secured, that the caseworker must be "shut down". Hardly in line with the ethos of an open and transparent disciplinary process. Walsh carried on in his attempts to carry on with out the FW having representation, until BCC employed an expensive consultant. This consultant had to explain to Walsh that he could not do this, and also, he had to follow his employer's own policies. This consultant even had to explain to Walsh what "will" meant, in the context of employment legislation; unbelievable when you consider that this person's wages equate to a couple of libraries being kept open.
The other allegations revolved around a twitter account, held by the Bristol Citizen. The Citizen regularly criticises BCC's officers, councillors and policies. The democratic Mayor and his officers cannot stand this and were determined to prove that our FW was the Citizen. One small problem, they did not have a shred of proof, not a smidgen, absolutely bugger all. Their main "proof" was that it was common knowledge in the Public Relations Office, and the Mayor's Office, that the FW was the Bristol Citizen. Come the day they could not supply a single statement, or witness. The IWW contacted the Bristol Citizen, who did provide a statement, and some interesting information.
Whilst this incompetent mess could be seen as the council just being completely out of their trees. The FW does have some history with BCC. In 2012 he whistle blew that a six figure some was missing from Bristol markets. This figure could build a children's centre, or similar. Rather than a full investigation, he lost his job and was lucky to be redeployed. To this day, the money is still missing and there has not been any disciplinary process, other than against the whistle blower. No other FWs in the council have had to put up with this level of incompetence relating to disciplinary. So we can only conclude that these bizarre allegations, and the victimisation that followed, were due to him being a whistle blower. He even phoned the Council's whistle blower's helpline, to get an answer phone, and no help.
Our FW is made of stern stuff though, and he had the support of the best Union in the world. After 8 ½ months on suspension. 15 allegations, the employment of 2 external consultants, and hundreds of officer's hours, all at a great cost to the tax payers of this city. He won his hearing, as everything was unfounded. He will go back to his Child Protection role, supporting vulnerable children in our city. But, we are not finished. There are serious questions to be answered, both from the Mayor, but also Mr Walsh. He started by trying to deny the FW his trade union rights, interfered in the case, and even instructed the FWs witnesses not to engage. Furthermore, the Bristol Citizen tells us that he has history. He was involved in the sacking of several whistle blowers in Wakefield. The Citizen has tweeted this, and the IWW will be investigating further. We do not need these people in our City. We need proper, transparent public services, run by a democratic council. If they cannot do this, we will.

Lane Departure Warning System
This example shows how to detect and track road lane markers in a video sequence and notifies the driver if they are moving across a lane. The example illustrates how to use the Hough Transform, Hough Lines and Kalman Filter blocks to create a line detection and tracking algorithm. The example implements this algorithm using the following steps: 1) Detect lane markers in the current video frame. 2) Match the current lane markers with those detected in the previous video frame. 3) Find the left and right lane markers. 4) Issue a warning message if the vehicle moves across either of the lane markers.
To process low quality video sequences, where lane markers might be difficult to see or are hidden behind objects, the example waits for a lane marker to appear in multiple frames before it considers the marker to be valid. The example uses the same process to decide when to begin to ignore a lane marker.
Note: The example parameters are defined in the model workspace. To access the parameters, click View > Model Explorer. Then navigate to Model Workspace under model's name.
Watch the Lane Departure Warning System example.
Example Model
The following figure shows the Lane Departure Warning System example model:
Lane Detection Subsystem
This subsystem uses the 2-D FIR Filter and Autothreshold blocks to detect the left boundaries of the lane markers in the current video frame. The boundaries of the lane markers resemble straight lines and correspond to peak values in the Hough transform matrix. This subsystem uses the Find Local Maxima block to determine the Polar coordinate location of the lane markers.
Lane Tracking Subsystem
The example saves the previously-detected lanes in a repository and counts the number of times each lane is detected. This subsystem matches the lanes found in the current video frame with those in the repository. If a current lane is similar enough to another lane in the repository, the example updates the repository with the lanes' current location. The Kalman Filter block predicts the location of each lane in the repository, which improves the accuracy of the lane tracking.
Departure Warning Subsystem
This subsystem uses the Hough Lines block to convert the Polar coordinates of a line to Cartesian coordinates. The subsystem uses these Cartesian coordinates to calculate the distance between the lane markers and the center of the video bottom boundary. If this distance is less than the threshold value, the example issues a warning. This subsystem also determines if the line is yellow or white and whether it is solid or broken.
Lane Departure Warning System Results
The Safety Margin Signals window shows a plot of a safety margin metric. The safety margin metric is determined by the distance between the car and the closest lane marker. When the safety margin metric, shown in yellow, drops below 0, shown in blue, the car is in lane departure mode otherwise the car is in normal driving mode.
The Results window shows the left and right lane markers and a warning message. The warning message indicates that the vehicle is moving across the right lane marker. The type and color of the lane markers are also shown in this window. In addition to the text message, the Windows® version of the example issues an audio warning.

Zophar Speaks: The Wicked Will Suffer
20 Then cZophar the Naamathite answered and said:
2 "Therefore my dthoughts answer me,
because of my haste within me.
3 I hear censure that insults me,
and out of my understanding a spirit answers me.
4 Do you not know this from of old,
esince man was placed on earth,
5 fthat the exulting of the wicked is short,
and the joy of the godless but for a moment?
6 gThough his height mount up to the heavens,
and his head reach to the clouds,
7 he will perish forever like his own hdung;
those who have seen him will say, i'Where is he?'
8 He will fly away like ja dream and not be found;
he will be chased away like a vision of the night.
9 kThe eye that saw him will see him no more,
nor will his place any more behold him.
10 His children will seek the favor of the poor,
and his hands will lgive back his wealth.
11 His bones are full of his myouthful vigor,
but it will lie ndown with him in the dust.
12 "Though evil is sweet in his mouth,
though he hides it ounder his tongue,
13 though he is loath to let it go
and holds it in his mouth,
14 yet his food is turned in his stomach;
it is the venom of pcobras within him.
15 He swallows down riches and vomits them up again;
God casts them out of his belly.
16 He will suck the poison of cobras;
qthe tongue of a viper will kill him.
17 He will not look upon rthe rivers,
the streams flowing with shoney and tcurds.
18 He will ugive back the fruit of his toil
and will not vswallow it down;
from the profit of his trading
he will get no enjoyment.
19 For he has crushed and abandoned the poor;
he has seized a house that he did not build.
20 "Because he wknew no xcontentment in his belly,
yhe will not let anything in which he delights escape him.
21 There was nothing left after he had eaten;
therefore his prosperity will not endure.
22 In the fullness of his sufficiency he will be in distress;
the hand of everyone in misery will come against him.
23 To fill his belly to the full,
God1 will send his burning anger against him
and rain it upon him zinto his body.
24 aHe will flee from an iron weapon;
ba bronze arrow will strike chim through.
25 It dis drawn forth and comes out of his body;
ethe glittering point comes out of his fgallbladder;
gterrors come upon him.
26 Utter darkness is laid up for his treasures;
ha fire not fanned will devour him;
what is left in his tent will be consumed.
27 iThe heavens will reveal his iniquity,
and the earth will rise up against him.
28 The possessions of his house will be carried away,
dragged off in the day of God's2 wrath.
29 jThis is the wicked man's portion from God,
jthe heritage decreed for him by God."
Job Replies: The Wicked Do Prosper
21 Then Job answered and said:
2 k"Keep listening to my words,
and let this be your comfort.
3 Bear with me, and I will speak,
and after I have spoken, lmock on.
4 As for me, is my mcomplaint against man?
Why should I not be impatient?
5 Look at me and be appalled,
and nlay your hand over your mouth.
6 When I remember, I am dismayed,
and shuddering seizes my flesh.
7 oWhy do the wicked live,
reach old age, and grow mighty in power?
8 Their poffspring are established in their presence,
and their descendants before their eyes.
9 Their houses are qsafe from fear,
and rno rod of God is upon them.
10 Their bull breeds without fail;
their cow calves and sdoes not miscarry.
11 They send out their tlittle boys like a flock,
and their children dance.
12 They sing to uthe tambourine and vthe lyre
and rejoice to the sound of vthe pipe.
13 They wspend their days in prosperity,
and in xpeace they go down to ySheol.
14 They say to God, z'Depart from us!
We do not desire the knowledge of your ways.
15 aWhat is the Almighty, that we should serve him?
And what bprofit do we get if we pray to him?'
16 Behold, is not their prosperity in their hand?
cThe counsel of the wicked is far from me.
17 "How often is it that dthe lamp of the wicked is put out?
That their calamity comes upon them?
That God1 distributes pains in his anger?
18 That they are like estraw before the wind,
and like fchaff that the storm carries away?
19 You say, 'God gstores up their iniquity for their hchildren.'
Let him pay it out to them, that they may iknow it.
20 Let their own eyes see their destruction,
and let them jdrink of the wrath of the Almighty.
21 For what do they care for their houses after them,
when kthe number of their months is cut off?
22 lWill any teach God knowledge,
seeing that he mjudges those who are on high?
23 One dies in his full vigor,
being wholly at ease and secure,
24 his pails2 full of milk
and nthe marrow of his bones moist.
25 Another dies in obitterness of soul,
never having tasted of prosperity.
26 They plie down alike in the dust,
and qthe worms cover them.
27 "Behold, I know your thoughts
and your schemes to wrong me.
28 For you say, r'Where is the house of the prince?
Where is sthe tent in which the wicked lived?'
29 Have you not asked those who travel the roads,
and do you not accept their testimony
30 that tthe evil man is spared in the day of calamity,
that he is rescued in the day of wrath?
31 Who declares his way uto his face,
and who vrepays him for what he has done?
32 When he is wcarried to the grave,
watch is kept over his tomb.
33 xThe clods of the valley are sweet to him;
yall mankind follows after him,
and those who go before him are innumerable.
34 How then will you comfort me with empty nothings?
There is nothing left of your answers but falsehood."
Eliphaz Speaks: Job's Wickedness Is Great
22 Then zEliphaz the Temanite answered and said:
2 a"Can a man be profitable to God?
Surely he who is wise is profitable to himself.
3 Is it any pleasure to the Almighty if you are in the right,
or is it gain to him if you bmake your ways blameless?
4 Is it for your fear of him that he reproves you
and centers into judgment with you?
5 Is not your evil abundant?
There is no end to your iniquities.
6 For you have dexacted pledges of your brothers for nothing
eand stripped the naked of their clothing.
7 You have given no water to the weary to drink,
and you have fwithheld bread from the hungry.
8 gThe man with power possessed the land,
and hthe favored man lived in it.
9 You have isent widows away empty,
and jthe arms of kthe fatherless were crushed.
10 Therefore lsnares are all around you,
and sudden terror overwhelms you,
11 or mdarkness, so that you cannot see,
12 "Is not God high in the heavens?
See pthe highest stars, how lofty they are!
13 But you say, q'What does God know?
Can he judge through rthe deep darkness?
14 sThick clouds veil him, so that he does not see,
and he walks on the vault of heaven.'
15 Will you keep to the old way
that wicked men have trod?
16 They were snatched away tbefore their time;
their foundation was washed away.1
17 They said to God, u'Depart from us,'
and v'What can the Almighty do to us?'2
18 Yet he filled their houses with good things—
but wthe counsel of the wicked is far from me.
19 xThe righteous see it and are glad;
the innocent one ymocks at them,
20 saying, 'Surely our adversaries are cut off,
and what they left zthe fire has consumed.'
21 a"Agree with God, and bbe at peace;
thereby good will come to you.
22 Receive instruction from chis mouth,
and dlay up his words in your heart.
23 If you ereturn to the Almighty you will be fbuilt up;
if you gremove injustice far from your tents,
24 if you lay gold in hthe dust,
and gold of iOphir among the stones of the torrent-bed,
25 then the Almighty will be your gold
and your precious silver.
26 For then you jwill delight yourself in the Almighty
and klift up your face to God.
27 You will lmake your prayer to him, and he will hear you,
and you will mpay your vows.
28 You will decide on a matter, and it will be established for you,
and nlight will shine on your ways.
29 For when they are humbled you say, 'It is because of pride';3
but he saves othe lowly.
30 He pdelivers even the one who is not innocent,
who will be delivered through qthe cleanness of your hands."
Job Replies: Where Is God?
23 Then Job answered and said:
2 "Today also my rcomplaint is bitter;1
my shand is heavy on account of my groaning.
3 Oh, tthat I knew where I might find him,
that I might come even to his useat!
4 I would vlay my case before him
and fill my mouth with arguments.
5 I would know what he would answer me
and understand what he would say to me.
6 Would he wcontend with me in the greatness of his power?
No; he would pay attention to me.
7 There an upright man could argue with him,
and I would be acquitted forever by my judge.
8 "Behold, xI go forward, but he is not there,
and backward, but I do not perceive him;
9 on the left hand when he is working, I do not behold him;
he turns to the right hand, but I do not see him.
10 But he yknows zthe way that I atake;
when he has btried me, I shall come out as gold.
11 My foot chas held fast to his steps;
I have kept his way and have dnot turned aside.
12 I have not departed from the commandment of his lips;
I have etreasured the words of his mouth more than my fportion of food.
13 But he is unchangeable,2 and gwho can turn him back?
What he hdesires, that he does.
14 For he will complete what he iappoints for me,
and many such things are jin his mind.
15 Therefore I am terrified at his presence;
when I consider, I am in dread of him.
16 God has made my kheart faint;
the Almighty has terrified me;
17 yet I am not silenced because of the darkness,
nor because thick darkness covers my face.
24 "Why are lnot times of judgment mkept by the Almighty,
and why do those who know him never see his ndays?
2 Some move olandmarks;
they seize flocks and pasture them.
3 They drive away the donkey of the fatherless;
they ptake the widow's ox for a pledge.
4 They qthrust the poor off the road;
the poor of the earth rall hide themselves.
5 Behold, like wild donkeys in the desert
the poor1 sgo out to their toil, tseeking game;
the wasteland yields food for their children.
6 They gather their2 fodder in the field,
and they glean the vineyard of the wicked man.
7 They ulie all night naked, without clothing,
and have no covering in the cold.
8 They are wet with the rain of the mountains
and vcling to the rock for lack of shelter.
9 (There are those who snatch the fatherless child from the breast,
and they take a pledge against the poor.)
10 They go about naked, without clothing;
hungry, they wcarry the sheaves;
11 among the olive rows of the wicked3 they make oil;
they tread the winepresses, but suffer thirst.
12 From out of the city the dying4 groan,
and the soul of xthe wounded cries for help;
yet God charges no one with ywrong.
13 "There are those who rebel zagainst the light,
who are not acquainted with its ways,
and do not stay in its paths.
14 The murderer rises before it is light,
that he amay kill the poor and needy,
and in the night he is like a thief.
15 The eye of the adulterer also waits for bthe twilight,
saying, 'No ceye will see me';
and he veils his face.
16 In the dark they ddig through houses;
by day they shut themselves up;
they do not know the light.
17 For edeep darkness is morning to all of them;
for they are friends with the terrors of deep darkness.
18 "You say, f'Swift are they on the face of the waters;
their portion is cursed in the land;
no treader turns toward their vineyards.
19 Drought and heat snatch away the snow waters;
so does gSheol those who have sinned.
20 The womb forgets them;
the worm finds them sweet;
they are hno longer remembered,
so wickedness is broken like ia tree.'
21 "They wrong the barren, childless woman,
and do no good to the widow.
22 Yet God5 prolongs the life of the mighty by his power;
they rise up when they despair of life.
23 He gives them security, and they are supported,
and his jeyes are upon their ways.
24 They are exalted ka little while, and then lare gone;
they are brought low and gathered up like all others;
they are mcut off like the heads of grain.
25 If it is nnot so, who will prove me a liar
and show that there is nothing in what I say?"

Babies Work Specific Brain Areas to Imitate People
Study mapped their brain response while copying adults playing with toys
Thursday, October 31, 2013
THURSDAY, Oct. 31 (HealthDay News) -- Babies imitate other people to learn how to do things, and now researchers say they've pinpointed just how infants' brains work during that process.
Copying others is a vital learning tool for babies, who often will observe how other people do things -- for example, guiding a spoon to the mouth -- and then imitate those body movements.
This study is the first to identify specific brain activation patterns in babies when watching an adult perform tasks with different parts of the body, according to the authors of the study, which was published online Oct. 30 in the journal PLoS One.
Seventy 14-month-old infants were fitted with caps with embedded sensors that detected brain activity in regions of the cortex that respond to movement or touch of the feet and hands. The babies sat on a parent's lap and watched as a researcher touched a toy placed on a low table between the baby and the researcher.
When the researcher used her hand to touch the toy, the hand area of the infants' brains showed increased activity. When the researcher used her foot to touch the toy, the foot area of the infants' brains showed increased activity.
"Babies are exquisitely careful people-watchers, and they're primed to learn from others," study co-author Andrew Meltzoff, co-director of the Institute for Learning and Brain Sciences at the University of Washington, said in a university news release. "Now we see that when babies watch someone else, it activates their own brains. This study is a first step in understanding the neuroscience of how babies learn through imitation."
"The reason this is exciting is that it gives insight into a crucial aspect of imitation," study co-author Peter Marshall, an associate psychology professor at Temple University, said in the news release.
"To imitate the action of another person, babies first need to register what body part the other person used," Marshall said. "Our findings suggest that babies do this in a particular way by mapping the actions of the other person onto their own body."

Deciding whether to buy or rent depends on several factors. Here's how the math plays out for some of the nation's biggest cities, according to Zillow.
Deciding whether to buy or rent depends on several factors. Among them: where you live, how long you plan to stay in your home and how home prices compare to rents in the area.
Zillow crunched the numbers to figure out how long a new homebuyer would have to own their home before it would make better financial sense to buy. It's at this "breakeven horizon" that total rental costs would exceed the total cost of home ownership.
In three-quarters of the U.S., that horizon is three years or less, according to Zillow's chief economist, Stan Humphries.
Of course, in some markets, like New York and San Francisco, home prices are so high that it takes much longer than that -- five years or more. In those cases, it makes more sense to rent.
And the breakeven point can vary wildly within metro areas. In the Boston metro area, for example, it can range from just over two years in the town of Lawrence to a decade in suburbs like Concord and Brookline.
To make these calculations, Zillow accounted for the costs associated with buying a home, including the down payment and transaction costs (such as commissions and fees), mortgage payments, property taxes, maintenance costs and tax deductions, among other things. It then compared that with rental costs, including monthly payments and commissions and adjusted the numbers for inflation and forecasted home value and rental price increases.
Here's how the nation's 10 biggest cities fared.

What is Potassium? Potassium is a chemical element. It has the symbol "K" (Kalium).The name "potassium" comes from the word "potash", as potassium was first isolated from potash. Potassium is a soft silvery-white metallic substance.
What is the role of Potassium in plant Nutrition?
It is essential in plant growth, and has the third number on a bag of fertilizer. Plants use it in great quantity, second only to nitrogen, which has the first number.
- Potassium plays important roles in enhancing turfgrass stress tolerance (i.e., drought, heat, cold, wear, disease.)
- Potassium helps build in winter hardiness. It helps the grass withstand the cold of winter.
- Potassium increases tolerance to moisture stress by reducing transpiration (loss of water through the blades). Grass needs less water when it has enough potassium.
- Potassium increases the lawn' durability under use. It strengthens leaf blades, enabling grass to recover from heavy foot traffic and stress.
- Potassium increases plant re-growth vigour.
- Potassium improves disease resistance.
- Potassium helps Nitrogen to produce the deep green colour associated with healthy turf.
- Potassium helps plants to withstand insect attacks.
Many of the soil tests we have done on lawn soils in this area have shown the soils to be deficient in Potassium. Although our Turf King fertilizer is higher than most other brands in its Potassium content, extra Potassium may be helpful in increasing the health of your lawn.

There are 3 types of commercial DNA tests; the Y-DNA, mtDNA and Autosomal. The Y-DNA test ONLY explores the paternal line, the mtDNA test ONLY explores the maternal line, while the Autosomal DNA test explores all of ones DNA. Testing is painless, and the results of those tests are NOT RANDOM! For example, upon Y-DNA testing one will only match males with whom one shares a common male ancestor, but the surnames of those males will be different. Those surnames are in fact a snapshot of the surnames that arose among a tribal groups of related males living in a specific location approximately 1,000 years ago (when surnames first appeared). Since surnames still concentrate in the area where they first appeared, Irish Origenes will examine the origin of the surnames that appear in your Y-DNA results, identify an area common to all, and pinpoint an origin within Ireland for your paternal line! To read a sample Irish Y-DNA Case Study CLICK HERE. Pinpointing an origin for ones maternal line is trickier, as the surname is not usually passed maternally. However, the ancestral information recorded by your maternal genetic relatives who are revealed in an mtDNA test are NOT RANDOM! Irish Origenes will examine that ancestral information and reveal precisely where your Irish maternal ancestors lived. To read a sample Irish mtDNA Case Study CLICK HERE. In contrast, the Autosomal DNA test looks at 'bits' of all your DNA (from all your ancestral lines over the last 200 years). At Irish Origenes we can examine those results, identify DNA 'hotspots' within Ireland and then link each of your Irish ancestral surnames with their DNA identifiied Irish locations!

Has The San Francisco Bay Monster Returned?
Posted by: Monster Island News on November 16th, 2014
Many of you may be surprised to learn that people have been seeing something that resembles "The Loch Ness Monster" in the San Francisco Bay since the 1800s. Indeed there are hundreds of forms of marine animals and fish that call the area home and, reportedly, some form(s) of aquatic dinosaur(s) may be among their ranks.
For Bill and Bob Clark there is no doubt about it. Since their first encounter with one of these relics from the prehistoric past in 1985 the brothers have seen such creatures several times and cataloged numerous sightings from other eye witnesses.

GWAR's Oderus Urungus Offers Dramatic Reading of 'Goodnight Moon' Bedtime Story
Our friends at Loudwire filmed this hilarious clip of GWAR front-thing Oderus Urungus offering a dramatic and NSFW reading of the children's book 'Goodnight Moon.'
We wouldn't recommend allowing impressionable kids under the age of, say, 10, to watch this, though.
Look at his costume. The spikes! The boils! The voice! You want your kids to go to sleep, peacefully, thus keeping them out of your hair. This will keep them awake longer since they will be terrified and scared of closing their eyes after getting a look at Oderus.
He is clearly not anyone you want babysitting your kids or reading bedtime stories to them, since they will end up with potty mouths. Allowing him to do so would be some lazy parenting on your part.
Good thing he is seated and you can't see his signature cod piece. That would frighten your kid for life, and possibly leave you curled up in a fetal position with scarred retinas, as well.
But if you are of age and have a sense of humor, you should get more than a few hearty laughs out of Oderus' rendition of this classic bedtime tale.
