Black Hat Conference puts spotlight on NAC, Vista and rootkits
By Ellen Messmer and Tim Greene, NetworkWorld.com, 07/31/06
The annual Black Hat Conference, which opens July 29 at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas, brings together security researchers and vendors in a freewheeling atmosphere aimed at laying bare the risks and vulnerabilities in IT products.
With Vista still in beta, Microsoft, a key sponsor of Black Hat this year, is inviting Black Hat attendees 3,000 are expected to identify any security shortcomings they can in the Vista code. In a novel and candid way, Microsoft product managers and engineers will present six sessions on Windows Vista and its security during the conference, challenging anyone there to rip Vista security apart.
Microsoft will find more than enough takers for that challenge.
Joanna Rutkowska, senior security researcher at Singapore-based security firm COSEINC, will demonstrate a new rootkit for Vista during her presentation Subverting Vista kernel for fun and profit. A rootkit is software that hides malicious code or computer processes, making it a danger to users.
Called Blue Pill, Rutkowskas rootkit is based on Advanced Micro Devices Storage Virtualization Manager Pacificas virtualization technology. She says Blue Pill is undetectable and easily installed, and doesnt require the perpetrator to exploit a weakness in the underlying operating system.
In addition to demonstrating Blue Pill, Rutkowska will show how its possible to circumvent Vista security by loading only digitally signed code into the kernel. Its very impressive, says Marc Maiffret, founder and chief hacking officer at eEye Digital Security, who saw the Blue Pill rootkit and technique for bypassing Vistas security in Singapore a week ago at the SyScan Conference, where Rutkowska first made them public.
Her bypass technique might not be a flaw Microsoft can fix easily with a software patch, says Maiffret. It seems to be an architectural problem with Vista, he says. Rutkowska agrees its a design issue
and will propose a few ways Microsoft might consider changing Vista to eliminate the security-bypass problem. Vistas code-signing protection was devised as a way to stop malware, such as kernel rootkits and back doors, from being loaded into the Vista kernel, says Rutkowska, but her Black Hat presentation will show Vista is as vulnerable to the same kernel malware threats as its predecessors.
Although the first version of Blue Pill she developed is for Vista, theres no reason a Blue Pill couldnt be made for other operating systems as well, she says. She adds neither she nor her firm will release the code, which could be used for malicious purposes.
A new version of Windows... with a security hole bigger than your Mom's?! Shocked and horrified, I am.

I was more interested in VT exploit taking advantage of processor architecture to hijack a system without detectability by any monitors. Don't have a link handy right now, though (was probably over at hardocp).
But yeah, Vista will have bugs, flaws, holes, and other problems that can be taken advantage of. This is a surprise to you?

yeah alot of people have been saying that the immense amount of code that has gone into the architecture of vista makes it that much more vulnerable. and apparently the new focus for microsoft after gates leaves is to simplify the internal workings of windows to prevent these kinds of holes and vulnerabilities.... which is quite a bit after vista is released and everyone moves to OSX because of some uber worm.

I don't see what the big deal is.
The whole purpose was so they could find these errors and eliminate them before the retail version of Vista is available.
The release is set for "Early 2007" and they are still on Beta 2.
They haven't even done Release candidate 1 or 2 yet!
A whole this big will get fixed before the official release.
I am running Vista Beta 2 now and find it very nice.

Galveston jury gives woman 15 years for recording baby's sex assault
A Galveston County jury sentenced a Bacliff woman to 15 years in prison Friday for videotaping the sexual assault of a 16-month-old baby by the infant's grandfather last February.
The jury in state District Judge Susan Criss' courtroom deliberated 20 minutes early Friday to find Alisha Marie Drake, 24, guilty of producing a performance, to-wit: a videotape that included sexual conduct by the baby girl, said Adam Poole, chief of child abuse at the Galveston County District Attorney's Office.
The jury took another 30 minutes Friday afternoon to decide on the punishment.
Jurors were "visibly affected and disturbed" by watching the videotape of the assault, Poole said. Drake's voice could be heard on the videotape recovered by Galveston County sheriff's detectives, and further investigation matched the voice to her.
The grandfather, 34-year-old Jason Grant, is scheduled to go on trial in October for felony sexual assault of a child. If found guilty, he faces 24 to 99 years or life in prison with no parole, Poole said.
Drake faced a maximum sentence of 20 years behind bars.
"I respect the jury's verdict," Poole said, calling the case "one of the worst I've ever seen."

NEW YORK (AP) — Broadway and porn apparently don't mix: "The Performers," a new comedy that opened this week at the Longacre Theatre, won't make it through the week.
Producers on Thursday night pulled the plug on the David West Read play, blaming the effects of Hurricane Sandy. The show, which opened Wednesday starring Alicia Silverstone and Henry Winkler, will close after Sunday's performance.
When it closes, it will have struggled through 23 previews and seven regular performances.
It was a new, brave and profane show set in the world of porn that had been building some word-of-mouth interest. But the storm knocked it for a loop and mixed to poor reviews finished it off.

Her Turn
"Our life is a complete disaster," said Carrie, 37, whose drawn face and despairing voice revealed her exhaustion. "Ryan and I scream at each other from morning till night — in front of Charlie and James, our 12-month-old twins, no less. Our tenth anniversary is in two months, but I certainly don't feel like celebrating. We're broke, Ryan's out of work and I'm trying to hold everything together.
"Until two years ago, Ryan was the chef in the private dining room of a large investment bank. He left that job to start a company that did catering and special-events planning for smaller brokerages and dot-coms. Together with my salary as a bed-and-bath store manager, we were doing very well. Our relationship was great — Ryan used to send me red roses on every anniversary — and after I became pregnant, the future looked even brighter.
"Then the economy took a nosedive. As businesses folded or cut back on luxuries like catered meals, Ryan's bookings dried up. That's when we discovered that his business partner had secretly stolen their clients and suppliers and launched his own catering company. I'd told Ryan from the beginning that I didn't like this guy — he'd always struck me as underhanded — but he refused to listen. Now we're in bankruptcy, and I don't know how we're going to feed our family.
"In the middle of this crisis, I went into labor. It was a difficult birth, and I had to stay in the hospital for three days. Ryan was so caught up with the crisis at work that he came by to see me only briefly before rushing back to the office.
"I had everything planned out: I was going to stay home full-time and really enjoy my sons. But, of course, I had to ditch that dream once Ryan's business went under. After my maternity leave, I did cut back on my hours at the store. Fortunately, I was able to keep my health benefits, which is how we can afford marriage counseling now. But I'm still miserable. Ryan keeps talking about starting up his business again, but that's nuts. He has to face facts and get a stable job, or else we'll stay broke and I'll never have enough time to spend with my sons.
"To be honest, I'm jealous of Ryan. I know he didn't choose to be an at-home dad, and that it's hard to juggle calls and job interviews with fixing bottles. But he's still the one who has time to play with the boys, and he's the one they run to when they scrape a knee. He certainly pays more attention to them than to me.
"I'm better with paperwork and numbers than Ryan, so I'm in charge of our bookkeeping. When I get home from the store, I have barely enough time to kiss the boys before spending all night in our upstairs office, filing bankruptcy and legal papers and talking to our creditors.
"We're fortunate to have a church-sponsored day-care center that charges us next to nothing, so the twins stay there a few hours a day to give Ryan more time for calls and interviews. But that's our only luxury. We scrounge every month to make the rent on our house, and we live on generic foods.
"Between my job, the bookkeeping and the kids, I am so stressed I can't think straight. And I'm resentful of Ryan for putting us in this mess. Why didn't he listen to me? We've incurred thousands of dollars in legal fees trying to sue his ex-partner and get back our money and clients. It's a nightmare. I think Ryan owes it to me to keep fighting this crook — it's not like he helps me with much else — but he wants to drop the suit. We've been arguing over this for months. Our home has become a carbon copy of the one I grew up in.
Their Background
"My childhood was not happy. My parents ended their miserable marriage when I was five, and I never saw my father after that. Mom remarried a man who barely tolerated my three older brothers, but who saved all his anger for me — and he took it out with his fists. When I was 9, my mother sent me to live with my aunt a few blocks away. She might have been trying to protect me, but it felt more like I was being kicked out.
"I had a few very close friends, but I've never been good in social situations. I wasn't much of a student, either. I started working for the bed-and-bath store after high school and worked my way up to manager.
"In my mid-20s, I dated Ryan's best friend Jeremy for a while. The two of them couldn't be more different; Jeremy is totally unreliable and often inconsiderate. He'd stand me up at the last minute, leaving me waiting by the phone. I'd call Ryan's house to find out where he was, and Ryan would sympathize and talk with me for hours. He and I really bonded one day at Jeremy's family's barbecue, and we've been together ever since.
"We knew we wanted a big family, but we didn't start trying until five years ago. That's when we discovered that we both had fertility problems. It was so hard to watch family and friends become parents many times over when we couldn't. Finally, after three miscarriages and two failed in-vitro fertilization attempts, I became pregnant with the twins.
"But as much as I love my kids, I don't know if I want to stay married. I'm not even sure I love Ryan anymore. I can't tell you the last time he held me or did something nice for me. Our relationship has become as empty as our bank account."
His Turn
"If we'd waited one more month to come for marriage counseling, I don't think there'd be a marriage," said 37-year-old Ryan, glumly.
"Why did Carrie marry me if she's so unhappy with the kind of man I am? She knew I wasn't a nine-to-five person. We'd discussed the fact that having my own business was going to involve a lot of financial ups and downs. I feel enough guilt about going bankrupt and enough responsibility for supporting this family; I don't need my wife hammering into my head how stupid I am.
"I really did trust my partner; I couldn't believe he could be such a rat. Yes, Carrie was right about him, but what am I supposed to do about it — kick myself forever? I'd rather just forget this expensive, messy lawsuit and move on. I learned a hard lesson, but now it's time to look for the next opportunity. My days are spent making phone calls to find another job or see if I can get some financial backing to relaunch my business. But in this economy, who knows when things will get better? Carrie's yelling at me isn't going to make it happen any faster.
"Actually, we're both yelling at the top of our lungs; that's how much Carrie provokes me. I used to try to ignore her, but now I just scream right back. That really bothers me, because I swore I'd never be like my mother. I grew up in a lower-middle-class neighborhood of Hartford, Connecticut, with four younger siblings. Though my mom is sober now, she drank a lot when I was young, and she could be belligerent. When she was too drunk to cook dinner, I did. You could say that was my first on-the-job experience!
"If I have one regret, it's that I never went to college; with my dad working three jobs, they couldn't afford to send me. At 12, I washed dishes in restaurants after school and on holidays; at 15, I was working on the food preparation line. I learned recipes as I went along and showed how dedicated I could be. Eventually, I became head chef in the dining room of a brokerage firm, and one of the firm's top clients suggested I start a business with him.
"Maybe our marriage wouldn't be so shaky if Carrie and I hadn't become parents just as the business went bad. If we'd had any idea it would take five years to get pregnant, we would have started sooner.
"I've always tried to show Carrie how much I cared about her. When the boys were born, I was crazed with worry about the bankruptcy, rushing back and forth from our home office to the hospital. And now I'm trying to be a good husband and dad. What else can I do to prove that I love my wife?
"In the beginning, Carrie and I were really good together: We both liked our jobs, enjoyed the same activities. We could always talk to each other. I wish we could get back to the way we were before everything fell apart."
The Counselor's Turn
"A financial crisis can rip the bottom out of the best marriage. Though Carrie and Ryan had a strong relationship before they lost the catering business, they were truly struggling now.
"Their reaction was common for many couples facing money problems. On some level, even women with good jobs often like to know their husbands can support them, and feel abandoned when they can't; in turn, many men feel inadequate if they're not bringing in a paycheck.
"During each session, I reminded Ryan and Carrie of their strengths — a history of good communication, a once-lusty sex life, mutual support during their infertility crisis — so they wouldn't give up hope on themselves or their marriage.
"The breaking point for Carrie and Ryan had come right after their sons were born. Parenting twins was hard enough; doing it after a job loss was ten times as stressful. Pouring every ounce of patience and energy into supporting his family, Ryan squeezed out what was necessary for his children, but that left little or nothing for his wife. He was deeply upset to learn that Carrie viewed him as unloving.
"Carrie's reaction to their situation wasn't unusual, considering her childhood. Literally abandoned by a mother who chose her stepfather and brothers over her, she felt unimportant and unworthy of love -- feelings that deepened after her sons were born and Ryan seemed to be giving all his attention to them. Feeling betrayed by her husband and panicked at their money woes, she lashed out and held on to her bitterness.
"I told her: 'Your resentment is a way of gaining some power over your situation. Letting go of that grudge may make you feel more vulnerable, but it's the only way to bridge the distance between you and Ryan.' I suggested that she think about what she was most afraid of, and then pick a quiet time to talk to Ryan about it.
"I also made Carrie allot a specific amount of time — say, 30 minutes once a week — for worrying about anything she liked. Once the time was up, she had to stop until the next 'worry break.' Gradually Carrie became able to break the cycle of resentment and fear. As she did so, it was also easier for her to stop herself before rushing to criticize her husband.
"Ryan, by nature an optimist who rolled with life's punches, found it hard to stay calm when Carrie yelled insults at him; it was too reminiscent of his mother's drunken outbursts. I worked with him to recognize when and how he could draw the line. During those times when Carrie does resort to criticism, he's learned to say, 'Don't speak to me like that,' and to walk out of the room rather than get into a screaming match.
"Carrie and Ryan also needed to accept and empathize with each other — to feel what their partner felt, and see what they saw — as well as to focus on each other's positive attributes rather than dwelling on the negatives. 'You can't reach these goals if you don't make time for each other,' I said. 'You must plan time to be together, at least once a week.'
"I also stressed the importance of time alone to recharge their emotional batteries. Even a walk around the block before entering the house after a long day would make a big difference.
"To help Ryan respond with more TLC to Carrie, I had them both write down all the things they wanted the other to do for them. Carrie's list said: 'Hold me when I'm anxious; watch my favorite sitcom with me; master the computer's accounting program so you can do some of the bookkeeping.' All Ryan needed was a specific assignment and it was as good as done.
"Carrie also began to give herself permission to ask for help from Ryan or her friends when she needed it; simply having one or two errands removed from her list took the pressure off. Their former baby-sitter, who always adored the boys, was more than willing to offer her services free of charge once in a while so Carrie could go off alone or with Ryan.
"Carrie and Ryan stopped counseling after four months, though they still come to see me occasionally. They now focus on what they have rather than on what they lost. Recently, Ryan was hired as chef at a well-known restaurant, though he's still hoping to fund his own venture someday. Once their finances are more stable, Carrie will look into adjusting her work hours or quitting altogether to give her more time with the boys. And the two have finally decided to drop the suit against Ryan's ex-partner for the sake of their sanity and bank account.
"Meanwhile, they've been able to find joy in small pleasures, like flying kites at the beach. 'We're taking it day by day,' Carrie said. 'I think we were both so stressed, we couldn't hear each other. I know there are no quick fixes for anyone right now, but we'll make it. We have each other.'"
"Can This Marriage Be Saved?" is the most enduring women's magazine feature in the world. This month's case is based on interviews with clients and information from the files of Joyce Dolberg Rowe, M.Ed., a marital therapist with offices in Boston and Hull, Massachusetts. The story told here is true, although names and other details have been changed to conceal identities. "Can This Marriage Be Saved?" is a registered trademark of Meredith Corporation.

I'm used to the bullshit, it don't matter, boy
Corporate acquisitions, accumulations of wealth
Build with the gods and double knowledge of self
Entrepreneur visions, Moulin Rouge religion
That pussy make a weak nigga break down
So what you want, the cheese or the chicks?
You want the chicks but you want the cheese
A bitch gotta eat
I'm havin' the epiphany you niggas ain't shit to me
Worse than the scum in the slum I'm from
I'm a southside nigga, yeah I'm 'bout mine
You be that next nigga coroners come and outline
You ain't made of what I'm made of
You a bum nigga with a bum bitch
Your shoes come from Vegas
Counterfeit, fraudulent fakers
What kind of rich nigga bitch look like that?
You all know when we pullin' off the lot
Brake, hit the button, then we pullin' down the top
Shine's on stuntin' and I'm pullin' out a knot
Strapped with the glock, won't pull it out a lot
But front, I'll make it pop
Y'all don't do it how we do
Niggas ain't on the shit we on
Everything new
Spikes on the Louboutin's
We up, nigga!
[Verse 2:]
Eat pussy for dinner, bomb kush for breakfast
Deep-colored vs stones around my neck, bitch
Coupe a four-door, jeep a Convoy
Bulletproof front flash, shinin', Armor All
It feels like a nigga dreamin'
Seat back, music bumpin', niggas leanin'
Bulls eye, that's what we came for
The bread, now a nigga run the game, boy
I should've sent the broad to report what's in the yard
Aloof livin', I came up so hard
No pain, no gain, it's embedded in the brain
I'm in it for the grip, Motherfuck the fame
[Verse 3:]
'Round the world tourin', the city got borin'
Bury Mike with cash, no life insurance
Coupe foreign, top peeled like an orange
Need a ranch, got too many horses

The Department of Biological Sciences offers programs leading to the Master of Science and Doctor of Philosophy degrees. The Master of Arts in Teaching in Science (Biology Option) and the Interdisciplinary Master of Arts in Science (Biology Option) are offered in cooperation with the College of Education.
The purpose of the graduate program in the Department of Biological Sciences is to train biological scientists for careers in teaching, research, administration, and industry. Because the department possesses faculty with broad expertise from molecules to ecosystems, it offers six areas of specialization: botany, ecology, evolution, physiology, science education, and molecular, cellular, and developmental biology. Students interested in multiple areas can construct an interdisciplinary curriculum with the consent of both the advisor and the advisory and examination committees.
An applicant must have a baccalaureate degree or its equivalent from an accredited college or university. The applicant's academic record must indicate adequate preparation for graduate study in biology and must demonstrate ability to excel in the biological sciences. Generally, to be considered for admission, a student must have a minimum grade point average of 3.00 in the sciences on a 4.00 scale and score at or above the 50th percentile on the GRE. However, these guidelines are flexible, and slight deficiencies in one area can be compensated by strengths in another. In addition, applicants whose native language is not English must obtain a minimum score of 600 (250 computer-based score) on the TOEFL exam or 7 on the IELTS exam..
Each of the departments six tracks (botany, ecology, evolution, physiology, science education, and molecular, cellular, and developmental biology) consists of a basic curriculum and several topics courses. The master's student must satisfy course work in one area, then additional course work for a total of 30 hours, including 6 hours of BIOL 799. The doctoral candidate must complete course work in two areas for a total of 60 hours, including 12 hours of BIOL 899. Advisory and examination committees in either program may impose additional course requirements depending upon the student's background and specific needs. Requirements for both degrees include teaching experience, competence in a foreign language, and original laboratory research. A master's thesis or doctoral dissertation must be presented and defended orally.

Yes, I know that there's a script that lets you search for spesific layer, but this is a feature request for photoshop, this is why I wrote this in the feature request forum.

»Yes, I know« this is the feature request Forum, but as this functionality can already be achieved otherwise Paul was polite enough to point that out.
And as this functionality can already be achieved it might not get a high priority for the Photoshop team – but I could be wrong there.
And to add another piece of unsolicited advise: Collecting one's most used Scripts in a Configurator Panel can improve the convenience of using Scripts without assigning and memorizing a lot of Shortcuts for those.

Sorry, I probably did not properly checked your mock-up – if you want the Layers Panel to hide all other Layers then that would indeed be a major change for the Layers Panel functionality.
But how do you intend to work on from there? Would the Panel switch back to »all-layers-view« once you select one (or more) of the search results automatically?

Filing flurry increases field
Three candidates are seeking the one being vacated by Commissioner Mary Stern, who is also up against the county's three term limit ordinance.
Heisler has served three consecutive terms as Lafayette's mayor prior to throwing his hat in the ring for the commissioner race.
Among the flurry of last minute filings was McMinnville resident Ken Moore, an engineer and self-employed handyman, announced plans to run against three-time incumbent Jim Weidner for the 24th District.
"I am honored by the number of volunteers and donors who have reached out to me to offer support. They think it's time for new leadership for our district, and they're excited I have my hat in the ring," Moore said in a press release.
"A strong economy requires excellent education – and excellent education requires funding from a strong economy. Building this cycle will require bringing people together, listening, and getting things done," he said.
Moore said he has a grassroots campaign well under way. From going door to door, he said he has gleaned exciting ideas and is eager to take them to the legislature.
In addition, the state's Independent Party drew it's first candidate with the filing of longtime Keizer resident and Salem-Keizer School Board vice chairman announced plans to seek a senate seat.
Since minor party elections are not administered or paid for by the state, Lee will not appear on the May primary ballot but is instead running for the Independent Party nomination which typically takes place in July.
"Chuck will be a breath of fresh air for voters who are sick of seeing the two parties and their candidates tearing into each other. Chuck has his own priorities and interests. His background in education and finance will resonate with a lot of voters, and he has expressed support for the Independent Party's agenda, which is to promote economic development, protect Oregon consumers, fight for increased transparency in government, and to reduce special interest control over the legislative process," said Sal Peralta, party secretary and a candidate for county commissioner in a press release.
May Primary contenders for local representation are:
- Congress, 1st District: Democrat, Suzanne Bonamici (incumbent); Republicans, Delinda Morgan, Bob Niemeyer and Jason Yates.
- State Senate, 13th District: Democrat, Ryan Howard; Republican, Kim Thatcher.
- State House, 10th District: Democrat, David Gomberg; no Republican filing.
- State House, 23rd District: Democrat, Wanda Davis; Republicans, Mike Nearman and Jim Thompson
- State House, 24th District: Democrat, Ken Moore and Republican Jim Weidner.
- State House, 25th District: Independent, Chuck Lee; Republicans Bill Post and Barbara Jensen.
- County Commissioner Position 1: Chris Heisler, Sal Peralta, Stan Primozich, David Russ, Bill Willis, Brett Veatch
- County Commissioner Position 3: Debra Bridges, Marc Shelton and Mary Starrett
- County Sheriff: Tim Casey, Joe Shipley and Tim Svenson.
- Circuit Court Judge, 25th District, Position 4 candidates: Mark Lawrence and Ladd Wiles.

This week, every American has something to celebrate. In fact, we have 397 things to celebrate -- our national parks. It is National Park Week -- a time when each of us can appreciate what we all have inherited as Americans and what many consider to be our best idea.
With nearly 400 national parks across the country, they offer plenty to see and do. Each park tells a unique story -- a story that is just one piece of the intricate mosaic that comprises the legacy of this great nation. From America's tallest peaks to our grandest canyon; from the places that celebrate our highest ideals to those that remind us of our deepest sacrifices; from the places the honor our finest achievements to those that mark our gravest mistakes -- each of these sacred places teaches a lesson, offers an experience, and connects us to our rich past for the betterment of our future.
This week we celebrate our national parks and the great stories they tell. But the question is -- are the right people listening?
Throughout the chronicles of human history, societies, cultures and even religions have survived because of one group -- and that is our youth. They take on the stories we have told and the lessons we have learned and carry them forward, so the next generation may do the same -- but only if given the opportunity. What will happen to our American story if our young people don't experience and learn from our greatest storytellers -- our national parks?
It is this critical issue that guides the National Park Foundation and our dedication to provide our young people, from all races, ethnicities and backgrounds, the opportunity to experience America's treasured places. We believe our young people need to see, hear and feel our history firsthand. That is why the National Park Foundation is committed to bringing more than 30,000 students to national parks just this year alone through our "Ticket to Ride" program. It is why we are working with teachers in all 50 states to embrace national parks as classrooms and centers for active learning. It is why we have provided more than 3.5 million dollars to national parks through educational grants and programs in the last three years.
We're not alone. We applaud the good work being done by our partners at the National Park Service and at the White House through the Let's Move program to get our young people invested in the outdoors and experiencing our nation's history firsthand. We recognize the work being done by private organizations like Disney, L.L. Bean and Nickelodeon for their efforts to get our young people to experience our national parks. We hail the work taking place at the local level with national park friends groups and other community charities. I also want to acknowledge our partners at the National Parks Conservation Association and their President Tom Kiernan for their steadfast commitment to this important issue, and encourage you to read their blog post.
Our young people are our future. It is up to them to preserve and protect the story of our nation and with that, the legacy of our national parks. But it is up to us to invite them to these majestic places. If I can encourage you to do one thing this National Park Week, it is to visit a park and bring a young person with you. Introduce them to a world that will fascinate them for a lifetime. Do that, and you have given the most enduring gift possible and guaranteed that our national parks don't only exist as America's best idea, but rather America at its best.

Nashville, Tn — Gary Murphey, who was appointed as the trustee of the troubled Fuel Fitness chain by a bankruptcy court judge last August, is accepting bids for a new owner.
Murphey filed a motion with the bankruptcy court to approve the sale of the assets of the company to the highest bidder.
"The easiest way to put a new owner or investor in control of an operation that is in Chapter 11 is to sell him all the assets and assign him all the contracts and leases," Murphey says. "Although it is an asset sale, it is not a liquidation. I intend to have the new owner or investor honor all contracts and leases."
Five Fuel Fitness clubs remain — four in Nashville and one in Clarksville, TN.
Manny Butera, who founded Fuel Fitness, left the company several months after filing for bankruptcy in December 2006.
Once a new owner takes over Fuel Fitness, the money spent to purchase the company will go to secured and unsecured creditors, and for administrative claims and operation costs, Murphey says. Any money left over will go to Butera.

Freelance Whales' performance on Wednesday was a bit like my experience with Hurricane Sandy: One minute was jubilation at the prospect of no work for two days, and the next minute was a mellowed out restlessness, presumably from staying inside for too long.
That is definitely not to say that the performance was by any means terrible or disengaging. Rather, it simply means that the group from Queens meandered through most of their current catalogue, which consisted of the poppy, upbeat Weathervanes and the recently released, mellow, ambient Diluvia.
For popular catchy songs like "Generator ^ First Floor," "Hannah," or "Ghosting," the crowd was quick to nod their heads, raise their hands, and sing along.
But those songs were spaced out and filled with longer, slower tracks from Diluvia like "DNA Banks" and "The Nothing," at times taking the energy level down and crowd participation — and, for some, attention — with it.
But when the band was on, they were on. They marched onto the stage clad in Halloween costumes, definitely adding to their show, even if they weren't dressed like whales, as a few of the audience members were.
While they didn't give out any treats, the ear candy more than sufficed.

Juventus are willing to bid €14 million [£12.2m] to land promising Torino defender Angelo Ogbonna, Goal.com can reveal.
The Bianconeri are desperate to avoid the situation they found themselves in with Marco Verratti, when they stalled with the signing and Paris Saint-Germain swooped for the Italian starlet.
Ogbonna, on the other hand, is believed to have attracted interest from Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich - who will have a new coach in the form of Pep Guardiola in the summer - with his top performances in Serie A over the past couple of seasons.
Goal.com understands that Ogbonna would not be untouchable in Antonio Conte's starting line-up but he would provide the reigning Scudetto holders with a more complete squad.
It has been suggested Juve's back-line look weakened without Giorgio Chiellini, and an experienced Serie A defender such as the Torino star of Nigerian descent would help negate such an effect.
|Juventus are 9/1 with William Hill to win the Champions League
However, earlier in February the Torino chief had revealed Ogbonna could be on his way out of the Stadio Olimpico in the summer.
In December, it was reported the highly-rated defender is valued by his current club at €19m [£16.5m], but Juve will be hoping their funds of €14m [£12.2m] will be sufficient to force Cairo's hands.
The centre-back has five caps for Italy having made his debut under Cesare Prandelli in late 2011, and subsequently made the Azzurri squad for Euro 2012 but did not play a minute of the side's run to the final.

Merck finds "dual modality" in DTC helps viewers grasp risks
Back in 2010, FDA's Office of Prescription Drug Promotion issued a proposed rule spelling out when a major statement in a consumer ad is "clear, conspicuous and neutral." At the time, the agency weighed a mandate that the major statement in TV ads be presented in both audio and video, as is required under FTC TV ad standards—a requirement the agency refers to by the shorthand "dual modality."
Now, research by Merck, which collaborated with OPDP on a study, bolsters the case for such "dual modality" audio/video risk statements. Merck created three versions of a TV ad for a fictitious cardiovascular drug, Sitacor (imvastatin). A control version presented risk info in voiceover only, while a second also featured selected keywords and phrases in text and a third featured the full text of the major statement scrolling at the bottom of the screen. Researchers screened the ads online for a total of 1,440 men and women 35 and up who had been diagnosed with heart disease or had had a heart attack.
The study found no difference between the various formats in product comprehension or recall of possible benefits of the drug, but recall of correct risks was significantly higher in those with visual as well as audio presentation. Ditto for recall of who should not take the drug (women who are or may become pregnant). Intriguingly, noticeably larger numbers of those who viewed the ad with scrolling risk info said they'd likely ask their doctor about the drug and that they would look for additional info about the drug and/or the disease.
The study found no evidence that dual modality either hurt or enhanced recall and comprehension of product benefits, the company noted."In this study, regardless of dual modality format, dual modality increased recall and understanding of risks," said Merck's Sandra Kerr, head of the company's Office of Promotion and Advertising Review, in a letter to FDA. "Dual modality did not decrease consumer recall and understanding of product benefits. In addition, dual modality did not impact consumers' 'intent to act.' For example, it did not affect their likelihood to ask their physicians about the advertised product, or to seek additional information about that product. It also did not affect consumers' likelihood to look for additional information about the condition the advertised medicine was intended to treat, or information about the risk of developing that condition."

Scientist investigates rainfall changes under global warmingUniversity of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa
Outreach Specialist, International Pacific Research Center
Projections of rainfall changes from global warming have been very uncertain because scientists could not determine how two different mechanisms will impact rainfall. The two mechanisms turn out to complement each other and together shape the spatial distribution of seasonal rainfall in the tropics, according to scientists who published their study in the April 14, 2013, issue of Nature Geoscience.
Shang-Ping Xie, meteorology professor at the International Pacific Research Center at the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa and the Roger Revelle Professor at Scripps Institution of Oceanography at the University of California at San Diego, co-authored the recent paper along with colleagues from the Chinese Academy of Sciences.
Under current models, one mechanism called "wet-gets-wetter" predicts that rainfall should increase in regions that already have much rain, with a tendency for dry regions to get dryer. The second mechanism, called the "warmer-gets-wetter," predicts rainfall should increase in regions where sea surface temperature rises above the tropical average warming.
The team of scientists compared current rainfall in the tropics with future rainfall projections from simulations of 18 cutting-edge climate models forced with a likely scenario of atmospheric greenhouse gas concentrations.
They found that rainfall in the models increases more in regions that currently are already wet and decreases slightly in currently dry regions, supporting the wet-gets-wetter mechanism. But they also found evidence for the warmer-gets-wetter mechanism in that the higher the surface temperature in a region, the more the rainfall. By merging the impact from the two mechanisms, they noted that they could account for nearly 80 percent of the variations in the models' projected rainfall changes from global warming.
The complementary action of the two mechanisms is because the pattern of ocean warming induces more convection and rainfall near the Equator, where the temperature warming peaks, and subsidence and drying further away from the Equator, reflecting the warmer-gets-wetter view. But as this band of increased rain marches back and forth across the Equator with the Sun, it causes seasonal rainfall anomalies that follow the wet-gets-wetter pattern.
The wet-gets-wetter mechanism contributes more to the projected seasonal rainfall changes, whereas the warmer-gets-warmer mechanism more to the mean annual rainfall changes.
"Because our present observations of seasonal rainfall are much more reliable than the future sea surface temperatures, we can trust the models' projections of seasonal mean rainfall for regional patterns more than their annual mean projections," said Xie. "This is good news for monsoon regions where rainfall by definition is seasonal and limited to a short rainy season. Many highly populated countries under monsoon influences already face water shortages."

Even though they are roughly the same size, their games are vastly different.
Indiana forward/center Cody Zeller can't wait to face off against older brother Tyler Zeller of the Cavaliers in an NBA game next year.
"It would be interesting if we play against each other," Cody said. "It would be an interesting matchup, I guess.
"We both have our differences. He's stronger, but I'm more athletic. We have a lot of the same similarities."
The 20-year-old Cody relied on Tyler and older brother, Luke, for advice on the entire draft process.
"I talked to both of them, so I know the ups and downs of the NBA season," he said. "That has prepared me for this. It's good having them there. It's something you have to experience for yourself."
The 7-foot-1/4, 230-pound Cody said he would love to play on the same team with Tyler.
"We played one year of high school together (at Washington, Ind.), and it was a ton of fun," he said. "I would love to play with him again, but I don't know the chances of that happening."
Cody considered entering the 2012 draft, alongside Tyler, who was the No. 17 pick by Dallas. He was traded to the Cavs for three draft picks, including No. 24 overall.
"Last year, I wasn't ready to grow up," Cody said. "I loved everything about Bloomington."
He said he's 35 credits shy of graduating.
"It's definitely within reach," Cody said. "I felt like this was the best time for me."
He also thought he needed more grooming before coming to the professional ranks. Cody is expected to be a lottery pick in the 2013 draft.
"Playing in the Big Ten, with how much talent we had this year, helped me get ready for the NBA," he said. "Playing in the loud environments and against the best competition every night, prepared me for the NBA.
"I thought I had a great year, as well. My numbers were up from freshman year in spite of all the attention and double- and triple-teams."
Zeller was impressive at the Chicago draft combine when he uncorked a standing vertical leap of 35 1/2 inches, by far the highest among big men. His wingspan is 6-10 3/4, and his standing reach is 8-10.
He was a back-to-the-basket player at Indiana. NBA teams want to see if he can extend the range on his jumper out to the 3-point line. He might play some power forward in the NBA.
"Right now, I'm more comfortable with my mid-range (shots)," Cody said.
Big Victor fan
Cody's teammate, Hoosiers shooting guard Victor Oladipo, could be a top-five pick. He said Oladipo's work ethic is off the charts.
"It's unbelievable how athletic he is," Cody said. "The sky is the limit for him."
That's a long way from where he was coming out of high school.
"Pretty much every interview I've had with teams, they ask me about it," Oladipo said. "It drives me. I know what it feels like to be at the bottom. I'm going to use it as fuel.
"I've proven myself and showed my abilities this past season. I have the potential to be great. I have to continue to keep working for that dream to come true. I'll stay in the gym and keep working hard. I'm going to enjoy it. I'm all about winning."
The 6-4 1/4, 213-pound Oladipo is one of the top defenders in the draft.
"I defend at a high level," he said. "I can impact the game on both ends of the floor. I feel like I'm a leader and can rebound at a high level. I'm an all-around player. I can impact the game even when I'm not scoring."
He wasn't highly skilled as a young player. He still has room to grow as a shooter.
Oladipo patterns his game after NBA players Tony Allen, Russell Westbrook and Dwyane Wade.
"They are all 6-4 guards that can put it on the floor and make plays," he said. "My game is a little different from those guys. I have to keep working on it."
Only Miami guard Shane Larkin's 44-inch vertical leap surpassed his 42 inches. His wingspan is 6-9 1/4.
Draft chatter
-- Maryland center Alen Len (7-1, 255) spent Thursday and Friday visiting with the Cavs, a source confirmed. He's shed his crutches after having surgery on his ankle. He could be the new favorite for the No. 1 pick. Kentucky's Nerlens Noel was at Cleveland Clinic Courts on Thursday.
-- Akron center Zeke Marshall (7-0, 235) is working out for the Cavs on Monday, a source confirmed. He could be a candidate for the second round. He averaged 3.6 blocks for the Zips this season.
-- Georgetown small forward Otto Porter Jr. (6-8 1/2, 198) was asked who he'd take No. 1, excluding himself of course.
"I'd pick Ben McLemore," he said. "He is explosive. He can shoot and he's unselfish. I'd definitely pick him if I had the No. 1 pick."
-- Serbian forward Dario Saric (6-10, 223) shocked many observers when he pulled out of the draft this week. He could have gone as high as No. 13 to Dallas.
"I would love to know what the agent was saying to him," Probasketballdraft.com's Joe Kotoch said. "Maybe they thought he'd be a top-five pick next year. The (2014) draft is loaded."
-- Kotoch has been doing a mock draft for Sheridanhoops.com. He said the 2013 draft is unique.
"In all my years following the draft, this one is the hardest to handicap," he said.
-- Teams wonder if Michigan point guard Trey Burke (6-1 1/4, 187) can become a good defender in the NBA.
"A lot of teams asked me about my defensive intensity," he said. "They said they saw me play defense, but sometimes they saw me relax. I can't do that. Night in and night out, you play against the best point guards in the world. That's something I'll continue to work on. I want to keep developing my lower body. I want to be quicker and more explosive."
-- Lehigh combo guard C.J. McCollum (6-3 1/4, 197) is a two-time Patriot League Player of the Year. He was leading the nation in scoring at 25.7 points per game when he broke his left foot on Jan. 5. The former Canton GlenOak High School star said he has been working on his body strength, core strength and lateral movement during his rehab.
"I was able to lift and develop my body more in that four-month period," he said. "One of my weaknesses was strength. It was a question mark that people had."
He said he's not a pure point guard.
"I'm a scoring point guard," he said. "I'm fully capable of playing the point guard position. I can also come off the ball like Steph Curry does at Golden State. I think the more things you can do, the better you are and the more teams can utilize you."
Rumor mill
-- The Cavs have likely spoken to the Celtics about small forward Paul Pierce's availability. The latest rumor is the Cavs offering their two second-round picks for the 35-year-old Pierce. Pierce's $15.3 million contract for next year would become guaranteed if he's dealt.
-- Kotoch reports the Cavs have a deal in place to acquire Dallas' No. 13 pick in Thursday's draft. They could be targeting Russian small forward Sergey Karasev (6-9, 197).
-- Celtics coach Doc Rivers supposedly informed the Clippers he is no longer a candidate for that team's coaching job. Yahoo! Sports reported he'll use the weekend to decide his coaching future. Don't be shocked if he parts ways with the Celtics, despite having three years and $21 million remaining on his contract. The Celtics wanted a first-round pick from the Clippers to let him out of his contract.
-- After back-to-back titles, will the Heat keep their team intact? If they move any of the Big Three, it will likely be forward/center Chris Bosh. He has $61.8 million remaining on his contract. They are moving heavily into the luxury tax. Ray Allen, James Jones and Rashard Lewis own player options on their contracts for next year.
-- Many observers believe Houston has vaulted to the top of Dwight Howard's destination list. One source said Atlanta might not want Howard. Dallas and the Lakers will also make a major run at him.
-- With the hiring of Coach Jason Kidd, agent Jeff Schwartz has become a powerful player in the Nets' fortunes. Schwartz's Excel Management now represents the Nets head coach, their franchise player (Deron Williams), all their point guards (C.J. Watson and Tyshawn Taylor) and one of their two Euro-stashed players (Ilkan Karaman). Other Nets players represented by Schwartz are Jerry Stackhouse and Mirza Teletovic.
-- Rap mogul Jay-Z, otherwise known as Shawn Carter, was certified by the National Basketball Players Association, according to The Sports Business Daily. He also has applied for certification with MLBPA. Jay-Z launched Roc Nation Sports on April 1 with the intent to create a full-service sports agency which represents players in all of the major sports. It appears as if Thunder forward Kevin Durant will join forces with Jay-Z, who sold his minority ownership stake in the Nets.
-- Spurs swingman Manu Ginobili either is not right physically or nearing the end of his outstanding career. He was asked after the NBA Finals if he is considering retiring.
"It's not the moment," he said. "I really can't say anything."
He turns 36 on July 28. He played seven years of professional basketball before coming to the Spurs in 2002. This was his 10th year in San Antonio.
-- Kings center DeMarcus Cousins' agent, Dan Fegan, is asking for a maximum extension. The problem? He might not be a max player. The Kings have gone out of their way to say he's not available in trades. That might change, however.
-- LeBron James recently purchased the property next to his home in suburban Akron and leveled the house on the other property, one neighbor reports. Homeowners in the area think he might build another entrance/exit to his exclusive, gated property.

2013 Hot New Restaurants
This sophisticated space is designed in black and white with a touch of blue. The huge aquarium above the bar is just a hint that the seafood at this restaurant is superb. Yes, it's fresh, and yellowfin tuna for tartare and tuna mignon is flown in twice weekly from Hawaii. Executive Chef Christopher Noble is from New Orleans, so don't be surprised by the authenticity of the Shrimp Creole, Noble Gumbo or Sazerac cocktail. Vegetarian "noodles" are a nice spin on a vegetable side or perfect for the vegetarian with the meatless balls. Braised short ribs are a locals' favorite and reveal the influence of Sous Chef Tim Sluski, formerly of Eden. There are plenty of light bites available at the bar for more informal dining.
Not to Miss: The Tuna Mignon ($33)

Super Rugby
'Same old story' for Highlanders
March 29, 2013
The Highlanders' players after the final whistle © Getty Images
Coaches Ewen McKenzie and Jamie Joseph had starkly contrasting emotions after Queensland Reds' thrilling 34-33 win over the Highlanders in their Super Rugby match at Forsyth Barr Stadium on Friday night.
McKenzie and his players had ample cause to celebrate. He became the most-capped Super coach, overtaking Robbie Deans with his 121st game in charge, the Reds gained their first Super win in Dunedin and they achieved a four-try bonus point.
But Joseph must wonder where his first win is coming from after their fifth consecutive loss, and their fourth at home.
"In the end it was the same old story," he said. "We had an opportunity towards the end, we overthrew at a couple of line-outs and we knocked on. We released the pressure because of those mistakes and you can't do that at this level. The defensive lapses we had in the first half put us in a really difficult position. You might say because of that, that we really didn't deserve to win."
Joseph agreed that self-belief might be becoming an issue after their winless start.
"Every week I think it's in the back of the minds of the players, no matter how positive they are, that there's the pressure of wanting to win. I can imagine that that is telling on them a bit in awkward situations and I think we lacked experience at the end of the game. I thought our loose forwards, in terms of urgency, were a pace behind the opposition. I thought in the second spell when we got some go-forward, provided by TJ Ioane, that they got back into the game."
Hosea Gear continued his outstanding form and Joseph was disappointed he did not receive more regular opportunities.
"We got in a position to win the game but then those little mistakes slipped in again." Joseph rejected suggestions of radical changes for the Blues game at Eden Park next Friday night.
"No, we've just got to keep cracking on. The frustrating thing is losing by just a few points every weekend."
Queensland Reds showed great spirit to resist the charging Highlanders (video available only in Australia)
All Blacks prop Tony Woodcock left the field with a tight hamstring in the second spell and he may be a doubtful starter to play against his old franchise. Meanwhile, McKenzie was thrilled as the Reds hung on for their first win in Dunedin.
"Not a lot of people gave us much hope this season and we're pretty pleased with where we're at," he said. We're just plugging away. We've got the bye next week so we're pleased with five wins and two losses. The Highlanders are tricky to play. They kick the least, they run the most. The Bulls in Brisbane last week were the opposite so it was quite a difficult turnaround for us. We created a little bit of history for ourselves and got a bonus point so it was a pretty good night."
McKenzie was pleased to have Will Genia and Quade Cooper back operating together for a full game for the first time in almost a year.
"They both played well and we needed them to get through. It's also good to have James Horwill (Wallaby captain) back from injury and getting valuable game time."

January 30, 2007Everyday
Perhaps inspired by the much-buzzed about film "Factory Girl," we've noticed that super graphic, black and white, silk-screened tees are popping up everywhere. Less expensive than Warhol's Campbell's Soup Cans, the pretty-but-not-precious-shirts look swell over slim jeans in black or grey or even with easy-fit trousers (if you want to vibe on the spring runway's menswear-inspired tailoring). One of our favourite shirts is seen here on Rachel Bilson, featuring Kate Moss's shadow portrait on a pure cotton tee. It's currently available at Intermix ( www.intermixonline.com, $85) and comes in either grey on white or black on steel grey.

The Music Man of GazaPosted in Posts on 08/03/2010 04:11 pm by Laila El-Haddad
Ibrahim Najjar always manages to make me smile. There's something about him-maybe its the fact that he's one of those people who's been able to actualize his life long dream-in his case, of becoming a music teacher. Maybe its his demeanor-always timidly smiling, always speaking in a soft comforting tone, even in the darkest of times.
I've known Abu Anas, as he is known here, for over 13 years, when I enrolled in his then nascent music institute to learn how to play the 3oud (sadly, I was not as successful in realizing this dream as Abu Anas, namely because I am tone deaf and he is not 🙂 ).
I think back fondly to those days: we were an eclectic group, including a gifted 5 year old boy and a determined 71 year old woman who had always wanted to learn to play the piano. We sat in a crowded, unventilated room, ill-equipped for music learning, let alone recording, and dutifully followed Abu Anas's instructions as he enthusiastically asked us to tap or clap out a combination of rhythms after him. The result was a cacophonous and hilarious combination of sounds and hysterical laughter.
Abu Anas received his degree in music in Cairo (but not before initially enrolling in medicine and "fainting after seeing my first cadaver") and after that, a scholarship to complete his studies and ultimately teach music in Kuwait. He excels in 17 instruments. In the 90s, when Gaza opened up for "visiting" Palestinians,and a limited number of ID cards were granted to Palestinians in exile, he took the opportunity to return to his estranged home to fulfill his life long dream of establishing a music school
I periodically visit Abu Anas. The last time was almost 4 years ago, when I wrote an article for Aljazeera about his school (which I now cannot find). He was worried about the safety of his students after Palestinian infighting paralyzed the city.
Yesterday i arranged to visit Abu Anas again, this time to enroll Yousuf in his institute. I was shocked to learn that the institute (which had since moved from the temporary location to a more permanent one housed in the al-Quds hospital Red Crescent complex) was bombed multiple times and ultimately burned completely to the ground by Israeli forces during their assault on Gaza. Abu Anas told me that no instruments were spared.
I sense sadness in his eyes when he speaks about his old instruments. But he smiles-as always, when he shows me the new instruments, now in the new and improved Gaza School of Music, down the road. The School was funded largely by the Palestinian philanthropic organization the Qattan Foundation, which is also responsible for the incredible Qattan Center for the Child in Gaza City. Instruments were transported with the assistance of ANERA and a French foundation.
Abu Anas says they have received nothing but support, and the domestic political environment has not affected them. "Our people are fond of music. It is a part of our culture and rich history."
Recently, one of his students won the Marcel Khalife National Music Competition-the highest musical honor in Palestine, with the Qanoon.
"We have so many prodigies here, the spirit of the human soul here, the resilience of our people and children never ceases to amaze me" says Abu Anas.
Here's to the music man of Gaza! For more on his school, see Eva Bartlett's article for Inter Press Service.
