Default Key Algorithm In Thomson And BT Home Hub Routers.
Mon, 14 Apr 2008 08:00:33 GMT.
Yes, we re back with more embedded devices vulnerability research! And yes, we re also back with more security attacks against the BT Home Hub (most popular DSL router in the UK.
As you know, we encourage folks in the community to team up with us in different projects as we ve had very successful experiences doing so. This time it was Kevin Devine s turn. Kevin, who is an independent senior security researcher, did an awesome job at reverse engineering the default WEP/WPA key algorithm used by some Thomson Speedtouch routers including the BT Home Hub. Kevin noticed that all the public vulnerability research conducted in the past for the BT Home Hub had been released by GNUCITIZEN, so he decided to share his findings and work with us in this fascinating project.
Confirmed suspicions.
Many of us involved researching the security of wireless home routers have always suspected that routers that come with default WEP/WPA keys follow predictable algorithms for practical reasons. Yes, I m talking about routers that come with those stickers that include info such as S/N, default SSID, and default WEP/WPA key. Chances are that if you own a wireless router which uses a default WEP or WPA key, such key can be predicted based on publicly-available information such as the router s MAC address or SSID. In other words: it s quite likely that the bad guys can break into your network if you re using the default encryption key. Thanks to Kevin, our suspicion that such issue exists on the BT Home Hub has been confirmed (keep reading for more details!). Our advice is: use WPA rather than WEP and change the default encryption key now.
Brief history of default WEP/WPA key algorithms research.
As far as I know, Kevin and james67 were the first researchers to publicly crack a default encryption key algorithm of a Wi-FI home router. Kevin cracked the algorithm used by Netopia routers which are shipped Eircom in Ireland and AT T in the US (the second ISP was never reported, 0day!). On the other hand james67 targeted the Netgear DG834GT router shipped by SKY in the UK. Unfortunately, james67 did not publish the details of the algorithm he cracked which is a shame as it means that we cannot learn from his research.
The Thomson Speedtouch default WEP/WPA algorithm.
Unlike james67, Kevin s strategy to crack default WEP/WPA algorithms involve debugging setup wizards shipped by some ISPs, as opposed to debugging the router which uses the default key algorithm. Kevin obtained a copy of such wizard ( ) provided by Orange in Spain - which can be found on broadband customers installation CDs. Such setup utility allowed him to figure out the default key algorithm.
In short we have: S/N - hash - default SSID and encryption key which can be read as: a hashed version of the router s serial number is generated which is then used to derive both, the default SSID and the default encryption key. This is just a high-level overview of the algorithm. More specifically we have (quoted from Kevin s stkeys tool source code comments.
Take as example: CP0615JT109 (53.
Remove the CC and PP values: CP0615109.
Convert the XXX values to hexadecimal: CP0615313039.
Process with SHA-1: 742da831d2b657fa53d347301ec610e1ebf8a3d0.
The last 3 bytes are converted to 6 byte string, and appended to the word SpeedTouch which becomes the default SSID: SpeedTouchF8A3D0.
The first 5 bytes are converted to a 10 byte string which becomes the default WEP/WPA key: 742DA831D2.
In the case of the BT Home Hub, the only difference that is we only take the last two bytes (rather than 3 bytes) from the SHA1 hash to derive the SSID.
S/N: CP0647EH6DM(BF) Remove CC and PP values: CP06476DM XXX values hex-encoded: CP064736444D SHA1-ed: 06f48a28eba1ab896a396077d772fd65503b8df3 Default SSID: BTHomeHub-8DF3 Default encryption key: 06f48a28eb.
By brute-forcing possible serial numbers and deriving the default SSID and encryption key, we can find possible keys for a given default SSID, which is exactly what Kevin s stkeys tool does.
The bigger the number of hexadecimal digits the target SSID has, the smaller the number of generated possible keys is. For instance, if the target SSID is SpeedTouchF8A3D0 , we can narrow down the number of possible keys to only two. On the other side, a target SSID with only 4 hex digits (2 bytes) such as BTHomeHub-20E3 would give us 80 possible keys on average.
We ve tested ST585v6 which is shipped by Orange in Spain. Thomson Speedtouch routers provided by Orange in Spain come with WPA enabled by default. Being able to narrow down the number of possible default WPA keys to only two using Kevin s tool is quite remarkable.
In the case of the BT Home Hub in the UK (which only comes with 40 bits WEP encryption by default by the way), we can narrow down the number of possible keys to about 80. In order to avoid the brute-forcing computation time required by the stkeys tool, I created BTHHkeygen which looks up the possible keys for a given SSID from a pre-generated SSID- keys table. Think of it as a rainbow table for cracking the BT Home Hub s default WEP encryption key. Once the list of around 80 keys is obtained, the second step in the attack is to try each of them automatically, until the valid key is identified. For this purpose I created BTHHkeybf which is a fancy wrapper around the iwconfig Linux tool. Unfortunately, in order to prevent abuse, we re not publishing such tools. We tested three different BT Home Hubs, and the the attack seems to work fine.
There is one thing that I want to mention regarding this attack when launched against a BT Home Hub: breaking into a BT Home Hub Wi-Fi network which uses default settings (40 bits WEP) has always been possible in a matter of minutes (if packet injection attacks are used) since the Home Hub was released into the market. Therefore, this predictable-default-key attack doesn t change the current state of the BT Home Hub s Wi-Fi insecurity. It s always been known that BT Home Hub Wi-Fi networks can be easily broken into by cracking the WEP key.
UPDATE . we decided not to publish BTHHkeygen and BTHHkeybf for now, although they might be released at a certain upcoming conference.
Can't get enough? Here is more.

June Ambrose on How to Become a Fashion Stylist
Follow the conversations @juneambrose has with her "style socials" (or Twitter followers to you and me), and one thing becomes clear: people either want to dress like her or be her. So, in the final installment of our Media Beat interview, we got the celebrity stylist and star of VH1's Styled by June to tell us the biggest mistake aspiring stylists make on the job.
"[A lack of] Osmosis. You know, sometimes, just sitting back and just sucking it all in, you learn so much," Ambrose said. "When you're new on the scene, I'll definitely ask you trick questions just to kinda see where you are. Humility is your best aspect when you're entering a new area, and I learned that. I would just sit around and just listen."
But what about fashion courses — are they worth it? And how does a newbie afford the clothes necessary for editorial shoots? Watch the full video to find out.

Second Round: Packers pick Alabama running back Eddie Lacy
GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) — The Green Bay Packers have picked Alabama running back Eddie Lacy in the second round of the NFL draft with the 61st overall selection.
The Packers swapped second-round spots on Friday night with San Francisco. They moved down six places in exchange for an early sixth-round pick from the 49ers, the 173rd overall selection.
Lacy was actually one of the players widely pegged as a prime prospect for the Packers in the first round, but he fell all the way down the board to the second-to-last spot in the second round. The Packers could use a powerful workhorse-style runner like Lacy, who helped lead the Crimson Tide to the national championship in January.
The only other tailbacks on the roster are DuJuan Harris, James Starks and Alex Green.

This latest bull run has been spectacular, but how long can the market keep it up?
"How much longer can we go higher before the gravitational pull of stocks inevitably takes us right back down?" asked Jim Cramer on Tuesday's broadcast.
As the S&P marches higher, there's growing chatter that suggests the S&P may be nearing a level of strong resistance. That's becausethe S&P is rapidly approaching levels where it peaked in 2000 and again in 2007.

que lindos
I love the chicken print flannel! So cute and cozy looking. We used to have 25 chickens on a farm in VA so I love it!! Sorry to hear you were not well. I find (like when my back went out) it is actually time for a needed break. I too am trying to get done with the shopping early but with two girls birthdays (11/28 and 12/29) it makes it that much more crazy! I love to have time to be home to relax, be cozy, hang out with my family, bake, and keep my store stocked for the holidays!Off to do more errands!!! Ahh!!
Love your 'chicken' pillows. I ended up with a slew of chickens, and it all started when my son decided he needed some baby chicks. HA! now they're mine. They all are roosters, ta boot. Which is funny, the largest one, Alfalfa, seems to think he is a cat or dog….as he has to be petted. And the hen, well, Lilly is really a rooster…guess no eggs from her, or him? Anyway, would love to do some pillows with chickens on them.
ugh sorry you were sick. i've got an annoying cold right now. 😛 love your chicken pillows, they look so cozy!
That fabric is ADORABLE! So sorry about the your flu 🙁
Squee! I love chickens! Mine are like little clowns. Sorry again about the flu. Sickness sucks. I have Christmas pjs, baby shoes & some gathered skirts on my to-do list. I'm hoping they'll get finished before my birthday(12/9) but I'm not going to hold my breath. I can't wait to see another pair of those skinny jeans!
That is adorable! I haven't decided what I'm sewing for Christmas yet. Definitely have skinny jeans on the list. And probably some pillow cases because there are super easy and my kids think they are way cooler than they are!
Love these pillows!!! So cute!!

Celiac disease is an autoimmune disease that affects an estimated six million people in the United States and Europe.
It damages the lining of the small intestine which interferes with the absorption of nutrients from food.
Here are some questions I received from readers on this topic:
Q: I read your notes in the Houston Celiac newsletter. I notice that you did not list oats as an issue like wheat, barley and rye. You mention oats only as a problem if cross contaminated with wheat. Is this correct? I thought oats contained gluten.
A: Officially, pure oats do not contain gluten — the protein found in wheat, rye and barley that sets off intestinal damage in people with celiac disease. Oats contain a protein called "avenin" which is somewhat similar in structure to gluten, however. So while most people with celiac disease do just fine with oats (as long as they are not processed alongside wheat, rye and barley), some may not.
Q: Gluten can be present in barley-brewed beer. How could it not be if barley contains gluten?
A: Good eye. Barley does contain gluten but many experts say that only a fraction gets into beer after the brewing process. In the United States, the Food and Drug Administration allows a product to be called "gluten-free" if it contains less than 20 parts per million (ppm). So a barley-brewed beer may contain traces of gluten and still be labeled "gluten-free."
Q: I have a 12 year-old daughter with celiac and she is an athlete who is constantly on the go. Lots of practices and trying to grab a healthy meal before or after practice. Any ideas on quick meals that give her what she needs? We do pasta, chicken, beef, vegetables, fruits. She is a bit on the fussy side.
A: Rice, corn and potatoes are staple carbs for gluten-free athletes. Think rice cakes, rice and potato-based crackers and corn tortilla snacks for on-the-go. Other gluten-free grains to add to the mix include quinoa, amaranth, soy and millet.
Fruit and vegetables (in their natural packages) are gluten-free as are chicken, beef, and fish. Several companies have introduced gluten-free snack chips made with apples, sweet potatoes and onions that are processed in strict gluten-free processing facilities.
And many Halloween goodies are gluten-free including chocolate kisses, Raisinets, and Jelly Belly jelly beans.
What many gluten-free teens miss is pizza (gluten is in wheat crust). Many restaurants now offer gluten-free pizza.
Q: Is there a nutritional advantage to eat gluten-free if you do not have a celiac disease or gluten sensitivity?
A: No there is not, says the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
Q: How do you know you are sensitive to gluten?
A: Blood tests followed up by a biopsy (looking for damage in a piece of your intestines) are the gold standard for diagnosing celiac.
Q: I am writing to you because I have several residents who have celiac disease. I am currently struggling on finding out more about the disease, so I am turning to you for help. Are there any books or reference guides you would suggest to help educate me on the subject? Thank you for your time.
A: Dear K.K. Check out the information on this topic at the National Institutes of Health http://digestive.niddk.nih.gov/ddiseases/pubs/celiac/.
It also lists organizations that can offer expert advice and resource materials.

Snow White, Red Riding Hood and Hansel and Gretel have all had a crack, and now it's Jack's turn. The classic fairy tale, Jack and the Beanstalk, has been re-imagined as an action-packed and special-effects-driven adventure that will appeal to kids today, especially boys.
The men behind this particular fairy tale revival are Bryan Singer, who directed the first two X-Men movies and produced the X-Men: First Class prequel, and one of the stars of X-Men: First Class, Nicholas Hoult, who takes on hero duties again in Jack the Giant Slayer. The film uses the same basic premise as the fairy tale that inspired it, but with a touch of romance thrown into the mix. It's the story of boy meets girl, boy spills magic beans, beans grow miles high to a land inhabited by man-eating giants, girl is captured by giants and boy rescues girl.
The girl in question is the adventurous and spirited Princess Isabella, played by Eleanor Tomlinson (Alice in Wonderland).
Hoult and Tomlinson are very sweet together, although it's a tough gig for Jack as he tries to prove that a poor farm boy can become a hero.
Having the most fun are Ewan McGregor, who plays Isabelle's bodyguard, and Stanley Tucci, who plays her evil fiance. They have the best struts and get the best lines.
Of note to Kiwis will be the late addition of a new opening scene shot by Singer in New Zealand. Locals Tim Foley and Tandi Wright do a nice job playing Jack's father and Isabella's mother, setting up the idea that these curious children are destined to cross paths.
Singer is familiar with large-scale effects and action sequences and sets the bar high. He filmed in 3D and used the latest motion and facial capture performance technology to blend his giants into the live action sequences and actual locations. The giant-to-human size ratio is impressive and the medieval English setting is quite magical.
If you like action, find the thought of ugly and nose-picking giants appealing, and like your blockbusters filled with characters who deliver their lines with a twinkle in their eye, then you can't go past Jack the Giant Slayer for good-looking, simple fun.
Stars: 3.5/5
Cast: Nicholas Hoult, Stanley Tucci, Ewan McGregor
Director: Bryan Singer
Running time: 114 mins
Rating: M (fantasy violence)
Verdict: Fairy tale delivered with a twinkle in the eye
- TimeOut

Dear Ghostvillagers,
If you've followed my work for a while, you know one of my all-time favorite haunts is the White House in Washington, DC. From the colorful and sometimes dark history that was forged in and around this building, to the decisions made inside that helped shape the world, this building has seen and made history.
Some of the presidents paid the ultimate sacrifice for the office, while others seemed to pass through barely making a footnote in the history books. There have been deaths and funerals in the White House, and there've been countless stories of supernatural activity inside this majestic home.
This month I'm pleased to announce the release of my first audiobook: Who's Haunting the White House? The President's Mansion and the Ghosts Who Live There. The book is available from Audible.com, iTunes, and Amazon and will run you less than $5. It's like buying me a beer while I tell you all about the history and haunts. If you enjoy my books, my podcasts, or my lectures, then you'll love this audio production featuring voice actors and sound effects.
Ghostly legends in the White House date back to its earliest days and continue through present times. Witnesses include presidents, First Family members, staff, and distinguished guests. What I love about the accounts of hauntings that have come out of here is that everything that goes on in the White House is so well documented. That includes ghost sightings! I'd really appreciate your support on this project.
I'd also like to thank all of you who have been listening to my weekly podcast, New England Legends. These short productions take you into a legend each week, exploring ghosts, monsters, aliens, and more. This week we're also launching a new feature: The Legend Line. You can call us at 617-444-9683 and share your own paranormal encounter or your favorite legend on our voicemail. Some of these messages may even end up in future podcast episodes! My goal with New England Legends is to build a community of people who are passionate about history, legends, and lore. I feel like our society is so divided these days--that maybe if we get back to how we connected with each other long ago--sharing stories and experiences--perhaps we'll once again realize we all have a lot more in common than not.
So gimme a call sometime and tell your story!
All of you Ghostvillagers near eastern Pennsylvania… this Saturday I'll be offering two programs in the town of White Haven: Spirit Communication and A Supernatural Evening. If you're nearby, come join us! The evening program includes dinner!
Supernaturally yours,
Jeff Belanger

This creative and unique children's picture book set in New York City would make an excellent read aloud gift for any young child (2-5). A little boy has misplaced his enormous dragon and looks for him all over the city. Although, since the words NYC never appear, it could actually be any city to a small child.
The pen and ink illustrations and splashes of colour are intricate, ornate and folksy at the same time. It is a counting book (numbers 1 – 20) with a "Where's Waldo" element as the search goes on, uptown and downtown. Of course the dragon is actually right there on every page which is half the fun. Is he eating a hotdog? going on the subway? riding a bicycle? reading a book? Each illustration is a two-page spread, even going vertical when a tall building needs accommodation.

The past few years have brought an onslaught of biking in our family. First, little E found her tricycle legs and needed a bike basket that would hold all her biking treasures. Enter Noodlehead's bike bucket tutorial.
It yields the perfect size and shape for tossing in keepsakes of all kinds - chalk, bits of nature, even cast-off tights one hot spring day!
|Michael Miller "Lil' Kingdom Princess" fabric
The only problem was that the tutorial has you make one broad attachment for the handlebars. At the time, there was a split in the tricycle handlebar. So, I cut the width measurement in half, and followed the directions from there (except, if you are sharp-eyed, you'll notice I put one on upside down - still works).
This year, little A, now 2 1/2 has found her passion for biking. So, it was another bike bucket for her.
|Anna Griffin "Bailey Jungle Animals" fabric
This time, I didn't line the handlebar attachments as the tutorial suggests. They are still sturdy, but easier to work with.
With the girls outfitted with fancy bike buckets and getting better on their bikes, it was time to make something for myself. I wanted a smaller bag that would zip - just big enough for my phone, house key and ice cream money (what's the point of biking if there isn't ice cream at the end?).
|Anna Maria Horner "Good Folks: Fortune" fabric
Now, all three girls are ready to ride off into the sunset. I wonder if hubby needs a pretty handlebar bag, too?

Lynn Hershman Leeson attended the Walker premiere screening of her new film !Women Art Revolution (!W.A.R), then took to the stage for a discussion and to field audience questions.
!W.A.R. is a fascinating documentary that combines interviews, artwork, and rarely-seen archival film and video footage, collected over the past 40 years, to detail the evolution of the feminist art movement in the United States from 1968 to the present.
!W.A.R. ties the feminist art movement to 1960s anti-war and civil rights demonstrations, showing how historical events, such as the all-male exhibition protesting the US invasion of Cambodia, sparked the first of many feminist actions against major cultural institutions. !W.A.R. also details major developments in women's art during the 1970s, including the opening of alternative art spaces such as the AIR Gallery in New York and the Los Angeles Woman's Building. Chronicling the work of activists in recent decades, the film focuses on the Guerrilla Girls, the Women's Art Coalition and other similar groups, as well as the publications and spaces they've engendered, and features such artists as Miranda July, Yvonne Rainer, Judy Chicago, Marina Abramovic, Yoko Ono, Cindy Sherman, Barbara Kruger, Carolee Schneemann, and countless other groundbreaking figures. 2010, video, 83 minutes.

Dannon® To Be Official Yogurt Sponsor of the NFL
Leading yogurt maker aims to help Americans make better food choices and  enjoy yogurt every day
White Plains, New York, July 30, 2014 – The Dannon Company today announced that beginning in 2015, it will be the Official Yogurt Sponsor of the National Football League. By sponsoring one of America's most loved professional sports, Dannon is reinforcing its commitment to bring health through food to as many people as possible and encourage Americans to eat yogurt every day.
Dannon's investment in this major sponsorship is another bold move to help get Americans to enjoy yogurt every day. Dannon Oikos was the first better-for-you food brand to advertise in the Super Bowl, in 2012, followed by another hugely successful Super Bowl advertisement in 2014. Dannon makes a variety of traditional and Greek yogurts and smoothies under the brands Activia, Danimals, Light & Fit, and Oikos.
"Since our first Super Bowl advertisement in 2012, we've seen the potential to impact American families when it comes to making better food choices. We want to make yogurt more fun and more engaging because eating yogurt every day can help improve the quality of our diets, and sponsoring the NFL brings that to a whole new level," said Sergio Fuster, Chief Marketing Officer, The Dannon Company. "Our hope is for Americans to look at yogurt – and our brands – as among the best possible choices they can make, regardless of when or how they chose to enjoy it. This is a big bet for us because we firmly believe that as a nation we have a huge opportunity to improve our eating habits, and the broad appeal and wide reach of the NFL will have a positive impact on that."
"Encouraging people to get active and make better food choices is at the heart of our NFL PLAY 60 campaign and Dannon's values align perfectly with those and other NFL efforts," said Renie Anderson, NFL senior vice president of sponsorship and partnership management. "We are pleased to welcome Dannon to our family of sponsors and look forward to working with them to bring more fans closer to the game in unique ways."
This sponsorship follows Dannon's history of firsts, when:
- In 1942, Dannon first introduced its yogurt to the U.S. market.
- Dannon first advertised its products on radio and television beginning in 1951.
- Dannon became the first brand of fresh dairy to be available coast-to-coast, with the opening of its plant in Fort Worth, Texas in 1979.
- In 2006, Dannon introduced Activia, which is among the company's leading brands of yogurt today.
- In 2013 Dannon reduced the sugar content of its best-selling Danimals smoothies by 25 percent.
- In 2014 Dannon became the first yogurt company to commit to the Partnership for a Healthier America to further improve the nutrient density of its portfolio of products by reducing sugar and fat.
Further details of Dannon's sponsorship with the NFL will be announced as consumer promotions and retail activations among Dannon's brands are finalized. Similar to previous promotions, these too will be fully-integrated campaigns that engage and delight Dannon's customers.
Follow @Dannon and @Oikos on Twitter and visit their respective web sites for more information, as well as oneyogurteveryday.com to learn more about the benefits of enjoying yogurt every day.
About The Dannon Company
Headquartered in White Plains, New York, Dannon has plants in Minster, OH, Fort Worth, TX, West Jordan, UT, and Portland, OR, which makes more than 200 different flavors, styles and sizes of cultured refrigerated and frozen dairy products to serve the diverse needs of its retail and foodservice customers. Dannon brings health through food to as many people as possible via its wide offering of delicious and wholesome fresh and frozen yogurts.

Conference Tournament Daily Diaries: SaturdayPosted by Brian Goodman on March 13th, 2011
RTC is pleased to announce that we'll be covering all of the major conference tournaments this year — the ACC, Big East, Big Ten, Big 12, Pac-10, and SEC — in addition to the strongest two high-middies, the Atlantic 10 and the Mountain West. Each day for the rest of this week, we're asking our correspondents to provide us with a Daily Diary of the sights and sounds from the arena at each site. Equal parts game analysis and opinion, the hope is that this will go beyond the tiresome game recaps you can find elsewhere and give you an insightful look into Championship Week. Yesterday's coverage: ACC, Atlantic 10, Big East (pending), Big 12, Big Ten, Mountain West, Pac-10 & SEC.
ACC Tournament – by Kellen Carpenter
- Despite a collective freak-out Nolan Smith is obviously fine. He torched Virginia Tech en route to a 27-point performance. He played 39 minutes and didn't limp. After the game he said that he had woken up and felt pretty good, was given a shot for the pain and that was that. Smith also basically admitted that there was no injury that was going to stop him from playing the last, precious few games of his college career. Bold words.
- There were other bold words that came from a raucous Coliseum crowd. An insistent six year-old Duke fan had one message and one message alone for Virginia Tech's star whenever he went to the free throw line: "Delaney! Give me your money! Give me your money!" A Hokies fan, noting that an inordinate amount of time seemed to be taken up wiping the floor, was adamant in his commands to the Plumlee frontcourt: "Stop peeing on the floor, Plumlee!" This apparently applied to both. The winner of the impromptu ACC semifinals heckling contest, however, was an older Clemson fan. For some reason that I do not know, this fan spent the entire game heckling. He didn't heckle the Tar Heels and he didn't heckle the referees as a group, but rather singled out referee Les Jones. For forty solid minutes, he yelled at "Leslie" about every single thing. It was weird and oddly masterful. Kudos to you, demented stranger.
- The Tar Heels sent out a mixed message. Dexter Strickland joked on Twitter this afternoon that they were calling his team "The Comeback Kids," after UNC turned yet another double digit deficit into an overtime win. Kendall Marshall, who played forty minutes, simplyannounced, "I'm tired." Harrison Barnes didn't tweet anything, because he is too cool for Twitter.
- Harrison Barnes, in the best individual performance of the tournament, hung 40 points on the Tigers. That's impressive enough, but the really impressive part is how he did it. He scored his 40 on a mere 17 shots. He made 6 of 8 three-pointers and 10 of 11 free throws. He had 8 rebounds, four of which were offensive boards. When you play like that, you are, factually, too cool for Twitter. Carolina fans will lift a drink to play that speaks for itself.
- After both games were finished, the buzz around the Coliseum was palpable. It's been ten years since Duke and North Carolina have met in the ACC finals, and the town, as a whole, seems legitimately excited about it. A rubber match to the split series is something that everyone involved with both teams' desires. With a number one seed potentially at stake, and a not insignificant amount of pride, both seem poised to deliver a memorable showdown. Given North Carolina's apparent propensity for dramatic tournament finishes, the chances of a great game happening seem awfully high.
- While the rivals exult, Virginia Tech and Clemson fret. Both improved their NCAA stock, but neither was able to seal their destiny with a signature win. There is a degree of optimism for both teams and Seth Greenberg joked that he wasn't going to sleep because he was so excited about the Hokies chances. A solemn Malcolm Delaney just shook his head and firmly disagreed: After all that had happened over his four years at Virginia Tech, he going to expect the worst and wasn't going to believe it until he heard it himself. While I'm hopeful for Virginia Tech's chances, I'm with tough and wise Delaney on this one. That said, I wish him the best. That kid is too tough and too good to never make it to the Big Dance.

Apple, Publishers Still Miles Apart on iTunes Subscriptions
Magazine publishers used to salivate over the iPad. Now they're a lot more reserved. They make hopeful noises about Google's Android tablets instead.
That's because Apple and the publishing industry haven't been able to come to terms over magazine app subscriptions: Publishers want the ability to sell the subscriptions themselves, or at least the opportunity to hang on to subscribers' personal data. And Steve Jobs won't let them.
Here's what Apple is offering publishers, according to publishing sources:
- The ability to sell app subscriptions through iTunes.
- 70 percent of the revenue from each sale.
- The ability to offer an opt-in form for subscribers that would ask them for a limited amount of information: Name, mailing address, email address.
That offer has been on the table for a "couple months," I'm told, and so far none of the big publishers have gone for it. They don't like the 30 percent cut that Apple wants to take, but their real hang-up is lack of access to credit card data: It's valuable to them for marketing, and without it they can't offer print/digital bundles, either.
So for now, they're hoping to get what they want from Google and Android, and assume Apple will come around eventually.
That doesn't mean you won't see any magazine subscription offerings on iTunes in the meantime.
Newsweek has chosen to sell its iPad magazine as a standalone subscription without getting any data at all. And Time Warner has chosen to give away People magazine's digital version to any print subscriber. You could see more of both those options in the near future, for different titles.
And for publishers who are launching digital-only products, like the "Daily" don't-call-it-a-newspaper that News Corp. is working on, Apple's restrictions are far less problematic: Publishers don't need to worry about upsetting their valuable print subscribers, because they don't have any. (News Corp. also owns this Web site. It's free!)
Speaking at Business Insider's Ignition conference, News Corp. digital head Jon Miller said today that the Daily wouldn't launch until the first quarter of 2011.* When it does, News Corp. officials expect it to showcase a new "push" feature from Apple, where a new issue will arrive at subscribers' iPads without asking them to request it.
*For the record, Miller insisted that the Daily was a "rumor." But it seems undignified to type that in the main body of this story, given that News Corp. has hired dozens of people and earmarked a budget of more than $20 million for the project.

Grocery store chain Winn-Dixie had rapidly expanded in an effort to become a national retailer, and by 1999 it had more than 1,000 stores. The company began manufacturing its own products, reasoning that by owning more of the supply chain, it could offer the customer less expensive options. With its new geographic focus and manufacturing facilities, Winn-Dixie attempted to secure a position as a low-cost provider with a national presence.
Instead of improving the company's position in the market, however, this strategy crippled both the short- and long-term prospects for Winn-Dixie. The company paid a high premium to expand and increased its leverage without ever realizing the purposed synergies. In fact, there were dis-economies of scale because the distribution, marketing, and administrative costs had risen along with the increased revenue. The expansion and inefficient manufacturing added complexity to its distribution network, and with a greater debt load and less cash, the company was unable to reposition itself in the market when its low-cost provider strategy failed. Not only was the company unable to pursue other opportunities but it also did not have the cash to properly maintain many of its existing stores, which quickly became run down. Winn-Dixie was stuck as a general grocer with few options at a time when the industry was rapidly evolving.
Following faulty strategies of expansion, supply chain changes, and increased debt, Winn-Dixie declared bankruptcy.

Three Minutes With….The Lazystars
March 19, 2010 by Jessica Messina
Filed under Daily Music News, Three Minutes With....
If The Beatles were formed in the 21st Century, they would be Las Vegas' own The Lazystars. Comprised of Dave Hawkins (Vocals/Guitar/Keyboards), Brian Havens (Drums), Joshua Jackson (Bass) and Dave Meeks (Guitar/Backing Vocals), they are probably the biggest non-cover band Glitter Gulch has to offer.
I recently let Dave Hawkins, Brian Havens, and Joshua Jackson take their chances with the Sack O' Questions before their set at the downtown Las Vegas Beauty Bar during Neon Reverb. (Sin City's answer to SXSW) This is what happened….
Where is the most amazing place you've ever been? Tell us about it….
Joshua: The most amazing place I've been? I'm Canadian, and I'm the new bass player… I've been to a place called Banff, Alberta, it's a Rocky Mountain town in northern Canada. It's old-school, rustic wooden stuff. It's got snowy mountains and stuff. It's great. If I didn't live in Vegas, it would be there.
Dave: California
Brian: DI (Desert Inn Road) and Valley View, where we rehearse. That's a pretty good spot.
You've earned your plug – go for it!
Joshua: I'm new to the band, I've been in the band about a month now, I'm not used to the style of music, I come from a Reggae, kind of funk, background, but this music is absolutely amazing. It's like Oasis meets The Strokes, sideswipe Coldplay, it's a totally good feel. I think the band is going in a totally new direction. It's gonna be great! I moved to Vegas because I thought there was a scene there. I was disappointed at first but I'm a revived believer in the Vegas scene because I found the people to do it with and it's just amazing. We're gonna play a great show tonight. We're gonna play a great show on the 26th (of March) at the Hard Rock Cafe on the Strip. You should come by. We're gonna have a longer set with more audience interaction. We think this Hard Rock gig is gonna be so worth it, it won't matter. Such a step in the right direction. Anything can happen! I'm looking forward to it.
Brian: The only thing I'll add to it is www.thelazystars.com and more to come! We want to thank everyone at Neon Reverb SO MUCH! Thanks also to Imagine Dragons. They're way cool. The rest is said in the music.
Check out www.thelazystars.com or www.myspace.com/thelazystarspage where you can hear their tunes before you order their EP from their website.

I'm going to send it to Findswoman.
I got some pretty weird looks from people and cast members as I setup the figure in front of the castle and elsewhere. My wife was completely embarrised as I ran round Disneyland with Obiwan in the stroller and set him up in various locations.

I am inconsolable.
For the only time in my life I thought an Australian would win le Tour de France.
Cadel Evans looked weak on a couple of the mountain top finishes – particularly the last one where he let the Spaniard (Carlos Sastre) get 2 minutes on him.
I have pre-race odds for the race – and nobody much backed Sastre.
So much for pre-race odds.
But Evans was meant to be so much better than the time trial. But he rode like he was exhausted.
And Carlos rode the best time trial of his life.
One minute over a couple of thousand miles. That was all it was…And having stayed up to 2am to watch - I too am exhuasted.

In talking to Reuters, Steve Wozniak mentioned that he'd be up for a return to Apple, the company he famously helped start in 1976 with Steve Jobs. While Woz didn't elaborate on what he'd like to do there, he didn't shy away from questions regarding a possible return.
"I'd consider it, yeah," the 60-year-old computer engineer said in an interview, when asked whether he would play a more active role if asked.
Woz went on to say that he thinks Apple "could be more open and not lose sales" (ostensibly referring to policies such as App Store approval). Apple, will you please take him back. Pretty pretty pleeeeeeeeeeeease? [Reuters]

Every morning, one of the first things Caroline Longley sees is her daughter Emily's fake fur coat hanging in the hallway. It was one of her most beloved possessions, and something of a trademark, but 17-year-old Emily left it behind on her last visit home, telling her sister Hannah she could wear it and return it in the summer.
Hannah never got the opportunity to hand it back. Weeks later, Emily was brutally murdered by her jealous boyfriend, leaving a family still bewildered by grief nearly two years later.
'There are times when I miss Emily so much that I hug that coat, imagining she is wearing it,' says Caroline. 'I can still smell her scent on it. It makes me cry.'
A horribly sad story. The jealous boyfriend was caught and jailed. His parents faced trial (unusually) for providing him with a false alibi and were similarly jailed.
So why the 'Mail' article?
For Caroline, Emily's father Mark, and 17-year-old Hannah, grief is never far from the surface. Recently, however, their wounds have been ripped open once more.
Just before Christmas, they learned that Elliot Turner, the wealthy and pampered 21-year-old who, in May, was found guilty at Winchester Crown Court of Emily's murder, had lodged an appeal against his conviction and life sentence.
As he's entitled to do, surely?
'Turner's appeal is opening up old wounds which we are trying so hard to heal,' says Caroline. 'We are trying to put the trial, with all its horrors, behind us, but now we are being forced to relive it.'
Yes, that's horrible for you, no doubt. But why this article, why the lengthy details of how 'arrogant' and 'lacking in remorse' the killer is, and how 'upsetting' the appeal is for you?
At the end of the day, he's entitled to appeal if he has grounds to do so. To suggest that this not be so is, frankly, dangerous ground.
The Longleys don't actually say that this is what they want, but I'm struggling to see the purpose of this 'Mail' article other than to somehow plant the suggestion with readers that appeals by convicted murderers cause grief and are 'unwelcome'…

One of the most enjoyable activities for guests to watch at Dolphin Research Center is an enrichment session. Sometimes trainers go out in inflatable boats, floating chairs, or water noodles to get up close and personal with the dolphins. Other times they'll stay on the dock and bring out some toys for the dolphins to play with. These sessions allow the trainers to get closer to each dolphin and also learn about their behavior. It is a way for our dolphins to enjoy their free time where they can do whatever they want. Like any of our sessions, the dolphin can choose whether or not to participate in enrichment. We get really excited when dolphins who don't regularly participate get in on the fun. Molly, our oldest dolphin, doesn't always want to play or interact during enrichment and that's okay because it's her time to enjoy herself too. Every once in a while, she'll decide to join in and pops up alongside the babies in her lagoon to play too. Whenever she does, we are thrilled to have her as a part of playtime.
Guests often wonder why Tursi screams when she flies through the air, or why Merina goes clockwise when she does a dorsal pull while Santini goes counterclockwise. Dolphins have their own dolphinalities, and through our enrichment we allow the dolphins to showcase their individuality. These sessions allow the dolphins to put together behaviors that they've thought about doing but haven't been asked to do before. It ignites their creativity and shows us just what these fantastic creatures are capable of.
One of the most popular behaviors produced during enrichment was created by Sandy, one of our big boys. Sandy knew how to jump, giggle, shake his head, and breach, but had never been asked to do all four together. One day during enrichment, his trainer asked what he wanted to do. Sandy jumped into the air, made a honking sound while shaking his head at the same time, and then made a giant splash as he breached onto his belly. It was something no other dolphin had done before! The trainers captured the behavior by rewarding Sandy heavily and showing interest in him doing it again. After he repeated the combination of actions several times, the trainers were able to assign a signal and ask for Sandy to do the behavior on cue. Now whenever Sandy sees a trainer holding his stomach, he knows they're asking for his belly flop.

How much do you think Smaug, the magnificent dragon from The Hobbit, is really worth? Forbes writer Michael Noer says it's not that difficult to calculate: $8.6 billion. Want to know how he figured that out?
Awe-inspiringly nerdily, is how. Here's the beginning of his calculation:
We know from the novel that Smaug's wealth comes down to three primary components, the mound of silver and gold that he sleeps on, the diamonds and other precious gemstones encrusted in his underbelly, and the "Arkenstone of Thrain," which is depicted as something like the Hope Diamond on steroids. (There are certainly other valuable items in Smaug's hoard – rare suits of armor and so on – but the point of the exercise is to establish a minimum, conservative, net worth and the total value of a pile of ancient weaponry is probably no more than a rounding error in a fortune measured in the billions of dollars.)
Let's start with the metals.
The book describes Smaug as "vast," "centuries-old" and of a "red-golden color." According to the Advanced Dungeons & Dragons' site The Hypertext d20 SRD a true-dragon of that age and color measures around 64 feet from snout to tail. However, a great deal of that length is likely tail. By way of reference, Komodo Dragons are 70% tail by length, so we can estimate Smaug's body to be approximately 19.2 feet long.
Dragons are long and narrow, so we can safely assume that Smaug can curl comfortably up on a treasure mound with same diameter as his body length – 19.2 feet.
How high is the mound? Well, at one point in The Hobbit, Bilbo climbs up and over the mound, and we know that Hobbits are approximately three feet tall. Assuming the mound is twice the height of Bilbo, we can say that the mound has a height of approximately 6 feet – like a six foot tall man climbing over a 12 foot mound of coins; substantial but not insurmountable.
To keep the math relatively simple and to avoid complications like integrating the partial volume of a sphere, we can approximate Smaug's bed of gold and silver to be a cone, with a radius of 9.6 feet (1/2 the diameter) and a height of 7 feet (assuming the weight of the dragon will smush down the point of the cone by about a foot).
Now we can calculate the volume of Smaug's treasure mound:
V= 1/3 π r2 h = 1/3 * π * 9.62 * 7 = 675.6 cubic feet
And that's just getting started. You'll want to read the rest, to find out exactly how he calculates the rest of Smaug's haul, including all those diamonds. Check it out via Forbes.

Nature in and around the campus
The area's outdoor environment has been marked by the different modernist ideals of the time, where scale, simplicity and clean lines were key concepts. In the planning of the University buildings in the 1970s, there was a desire to preserve a green passage from east to west, between the Arrhenius Laboratories and Södra huset, as dispersal routes for insects and birds from the Haga Park to Djurgården. The latest addition to the area are the wetlands that were created at the Bergius Botanic Garden in 2009. Other areas worth visiting include Lappkärret, Laduviken and Spegeldammen at Stora Skuggan, and the marshes at Lilla Skuggan.
The Royal National City Park - the world's first national city park
The University is located in the northern part of the National City Park, which spans three municipalities (Solna, Stockholm and Lidingö) and forms a historic landscape interwoven with forests, open fields, parks, beaches and buildings. In 1995, the area was designated the world's first national city park, an important area for the national cultural heritage, the city's ecology, and human recreation. The park harbours more than 800 species of flowering plants, 1,200 species of beetles, and more than 100 species of nesting birds.
Read more about the wetland area in the Bergius Botanic Garden.
There are three arboreta in Frescati: in the Bergius Botanic Garden; around the Arrhenius Laboratories, Geoscience building and Södra huset; and in Frescati Hage. The word arboretum comes from Latin and means a collection of trees. There are over thirty such areas in Sweden, at botanical gardens, universities, city parks and private collections, often around castles and mansions.
The Bergius Botanic Garden has been in this location since 1885 and is laid out and maintained according to scientific principlies. It contains more than 200 species of trees, and the garden has a long-term care and development plan for preserving and rejuvenating this tree population.
The large field between the Arrhenius Laboratories and Södra huset used to be the site of the Royal Swedish Academy of Agriculture's experimental field for new trees and shrubs from the early 1800s until the 1960s. Many of these trees still stand there today.
The former Royal College of Forestry was located in Frescati Hage between 1915 and 1977. Various trees were planted here for study purposes.
In the 1990s, two enthusiasts, Börje Drakenberg (botanist, forest biologist and former teacher at the Royal College of Forestry) and Lars Bergman (professor of psychology), started a project to visualise the forgotten collections of trees and give them the attention they deserved. They inventoried and affixed more than 1,200 trees or groups of trees with labels. Another 100 trees will labelled in 2013.
