1 Legal Voice: Contracting for International Outsourcing by Brad Peterson and Mark Prinsley; Mayer, Brown, Rowe & Maw International outsourcing occurs where a customer turns over responsibility for a function performed in more than one country. For example, a customer might turn over work being done in the U.S., the U.K. and France to a service provider who would then perform the work in the U.S., the U.K. and France using its related companies in those countries. International outsourcing creates unique legal issues because it generally involves multiple contracting parties (on both sides), legal systems, and specific local legal issues such as labor laws, intellectual property, and data privacy. This article raises some of the issues and questions that are unique to international outsourcing. International Not Offshore It s easy to confuse international outsourcing with offshore outsourcing. Offshore outsourcing occurs when a customer turns over responsibility for a function being performed in one country to a service provider who will perform it in a different country. For example, a customer in the U.S. might turn over application maintenance to a service provider who will perform the work in India. That work would most likely be performed under a contract between the customer s U.S. company and the service provider s U.S. company. In offshore outsourcing, the key issue is moving the work to another country; in international outsourcing, the key issue is coordinating outsourcing efforts where the work is performed in the original country. Coordinating the Parties Page 1
2 To execute an international outsourcing successfully, the first step is to decide how the contracting will be done. Contracting can be done in a core country under that country s laws, but with global application. However, that requires a high degree of global coordination. Contracting can also be done simultaneously in various countries, which requires little coordination but loses many of the advantages of a global outsourcing. A third alternative, combining benefits of both the centralized and decentralized approach, is to develop a core contract in a core country, then replicate that agreement, with appropriate localizations, in the other countries. A key factor in deciding on the contracting approach is the motivation for an international outsourcing transaction. If the motivation is merely to create a larger customer relationship, justifying larger discounts and simplifying relationship management, the decentralized approach works. The extra coordination required for the centralized approach is worth the effort if the motivation is to achieve economies of scale by, for example, replacing help desks in many different countries with a single multi-lingual desk in one jurisdiction or replacing data centers in individual countries with a single integrated data center. With the contracting approach settled, the parties must develop contracting teams. Obviously, the contracting approach determines how the teams will be organized. In particular, the one contract approach requires a great deal of local involvement to make sure that all local issues are considered in the core contract. Each country team should include people with expertise in the outsourced function, finance, operations, law, tax, labor/employment and, of course, outsourcing contracting. Legal Systems Page 2
3 Each country has its own legal system. The legal system involves both the set of laws and the way that disputes are resolved. Dispute resolution tends to involve either courts or arbitration. Arbitration is particularly advantageous in large cross-border transactions. This is because international arbitration provides a reliable way for contracting parties to avoid litigation in the potentially hostile and almost certainly unfamiliar courts in another party's country. Also, a single arbitral award can be enforced in multiple countries. Furthermore, the 1958 New York Convention on the Recognition and Enforcement of Foreign Arbitral Awards, ratified by the majority of the world's governments, makes properly rendered arbitration awards far easier to enforce abroad than comparable court judgments. Therefore, a prevailing party in an international arbitration can seek out the jurisdiction where a losing party's assets are located, confirm the arbitral award there, and attach those assets as if the award were a local court judgment. Data Protection and Privacy Regulation Part of the efficiency in an international outsourcing transaction arises from processing data from one country in another country. In the EU, the Data Privacy Directive restricts transfers of personal data from a country within the EU to a non-eu country. The burden of compliance with the EU Directive remains with the data controller - generally the customer and not the outsource provider. However, in order to comply, the customer usually will need to impose specific obligations on the provider dealing with issues such as security of the personal data. The parties will also have to satisfy themselves that they can find an acceptable route through applicable restrictions on the transfer of personal data to a non-eu country that is necessary for the purpose of the outsource solutions. Page 3
4 More generally, the customer will be bound by the privacy laws of each of the jurisdictions where it gathers data. As a result, the customer must bind the service provider to adequately protect all data from a country under that country s laws, even if the data is being maintained in another country. This makes it imperative to understand all of the relevant data protection and privacy laws. Labor and Employment Law Every country has its own labor and employment laws to protect the rights of employees. For example, U.S. lawyers familiar only with the WARN Act might be surprised by the provisions of the EU Acquired Rights Directive. That directive gives employees in a business protection in the event of a transfer of that business essentially they transfer with the business on terms and conditions, which are in most respects the same. Transfers of services to an outsource provider at the beginning of an outsource arrangement and back to the customer or to a new service provider on termination of the arrangements will often be business transfers in which employees in the EU will transfer as a matter of law. Great care needs to be taken to assess all labor-related issues in outsourcing arrangements in the EU. Real Estate Often the outsource provider will need to be given access to the customer's premises. Sometimes the outsource provider needs to have a permanent base within the customer's premises and care must be taken to comply with local legislation and local lease arrangements to ensure that the service provider can be given appropriate access and does not, inadvertently, acquire security of Page 4
5 tenure through the operation of local law or somehow prejudice the customer's rights to occupy the space. Intellectual Property Most intellectual property rights are national. For example, rules dealing with ownership of intellectual property can be subtly different from country to country. Great care needs to be taken with ownership of intellectual property in materials generated during an outsourcing engagement. For example, a typical U.S. outsourcing contract might create some of the following unexpected results when used in the U.K.: In the U.S., a customer might rely on a work made for hire clause to assure itself of rights in developed technology. There is no "work made for hire" concept in the U.K. In the U.S., joint ownership (with a waiver of the right to an accounting) is an effective way to resolve disputes on joint technology because it allows both owners full rights to use and license the technology. In the U.K., joint ownership has the opposite effect: absent express agreement, neither party can license the technology without the consent of the other party. In the U.S., parties fight hard for software patent rights because software patents are potentially a very valuable outgrowth of an outsourcing transaction. In the EU, patents are harder to obtain for software related inventions, and thus the entitlement to any patent rights that may be generated in Europe will be of less value. Page 5
6 In the U.S., under the Feist case, pure fact databases created under the outsourcing agreement are rarely protected by intellectual property laws. The EU, on the other hand, has a specific intellectual property right the database right which protects pure fact databases. Taxes Structuring an international outsourcing transaction in a tax-efficient manner requires careful tax planning by international tax lawyers. Taxes may vary, for example, based on where services are performed, the entities performing and receiving services, the entity that acquires title to intellectual property created during the engagement, whether intellectual property is assigned or licensed, where invoices are rendered and paid, and how invoiced amounts are characterized on the invoices. Termination If the customer's reasons for an international outsourcing are simply to achieve the convenience of having a single service provider and the economic benefits of being a larger customer, the customer will want the right to terminate on a country-by-country basis as the economics change and alternative solutions present themselves to the customer. On the other hand, if the customer is outsourcing to implement "integrated global solutions, this sort of a provision would have a significant adverse effect on the economics of the proposed solution. Lessons from the Outsourcing Journal: International (that is, multi-country) outsourcing transactions raise unique issues. Page 6
7 A fundamental question is whether the outsourcing is intended to provide a global integrated solution or whether it is merely an aggregation of country-specific transactions. In an international outsourcing transaction, the parties will each need country-specific legal support in labor/employment, tax, privacy, and general contracting issues. Attorney Brad L.

Medical components that are in contact with tissue within the body must be made of bio-compatible materials. Examples of such materials are PFA, PTFE and nylons such as Pebax and Grilamid.
Medical components often have the highest requirements in terms of strip quality, residue and clean transitions betwen stripped and un-stripped zones.
Many bio-compatible materials cannot be effectively stripped with UV light of the Odyssey system. Fluoropolymers are largely transparent at this wavelength.
Carbon dioxide laser light is strongly absorbed by these materials, but the "hot" stripping of the Mercury systems is often not suitable for precision medical requirements. Below are a few examples:
A heart pacemaker electrode is a highly flexible spring has a very thin clear insulation (often PTFE) that is not easy to strip using conventional laser stripping technology. Although a Mercurcy system can vaporize the insulation, the heat from the laser pulses deforms the spring so that it loses its mechanical properties.
Hypodermic tubing often includes a thick bio-compatible layer. This coating must be removed at the end of the tube for connection to the medical device (such as an angioplasty balloon). It is critcal to main the outside diamter of the tube and standard carbon dioxide laser technology creates too shallow a transition between stripped and unstripped portions of the tube, with heat swelling occurring at the transition.
The Pioneer laser stripper is ideally suited to the above applications. Utilising ultra-short pulsed carbon dioxide laser technology, one gets the benefit of the long laser wavelength, but delivered in a sub-microsecond pulse. This short pulse duration means that thermal effects are minimized and excellent stripping results are possible.
Pacemaker coils are best stripped with Pioneer

On two separate occasions this season, Georgia Tech coach Paul Johnson made public his frustration with his team's standing in the ACC in regards to resources. He said in August that Tech was " way behind " in the conference for facilities and staff.
In October, he said that " commitment has to meet expectations ," meaning that Tech shouldn't be expected to beat teams that have a greater commitment from their schools than the Yellow Jackets.
USA Today's database of assistant coach salaries, published this week, would offer support to his contentions.
Among the eight ACC schools that were required to comply with open-records laws, Tech was eighth in assistant coach salary pool for this season at $2,534,515. Clemson was first (and second overall in FBS) at $5,390,417. That's a pool 113 percent deeper than Tech's.
Tech was also 47th among all FBS teams. Only four power-conference teams (Texas Tech, Purdue, Rutgers and Iowa State) were behind the Jackets.
Boston College, Duke, Miami, Pittsburgh, Syracuse and Wake Forest did not have to provide salary information, as five of the six are private institutions and the state of Pennsylvania's open-records laws are such that Pittsburgh does not have to release its coaches' salaries.

UKIP's North West Hampshire branch has apparently been rocked by mass resignations over the election of Portsmouth South chairman Paul Lovegrove.
Mr Lovegrove was recently voted to be in charge of the Hampshire election campaign however he has served two prison sentences – one for wounding with intent in 1996 and one for actual bodily harm in 2000 according to the Portsmouth News.
The row has also seen Don Jerrard quit as UKIP candidate in Fareham.
Andover's UKIP Councillors Hooke and Rolt were unavailable for comment at this time.

This letter is in direct response to that of Jerry Notaro on Nov. 9. Not only does he do a poor job defining his grievances pertaining to my previous letter, his scattershot logic invalidates most of his positions.
Am I an atheist? Most certainly "yes" and primarily because I'm a trained scientist (chemistry) who values logic, reason and physical evidence above all things. Having been both a scientist and an accident reconstructionist with Pennsylvania State Police, I am well-versed in collecting, analyzing and interpreting physical evidence. The Bible has none whatsoever. It cannot be evidence of itself. That's inherently contradictory. Further, I attended a Catholic university so one may be assured that I did in fact read the Bible, as excruciatingly painful as that was.
My largest complaint originates from the lack of any physical evidence whatsoever that Jesus even existed. No, the Bible doesn't count. It's not a book of undeniable historical facts. It's purely a guide in how to live one's life millennia ago. Man created God, not vice versa, and there have been more than 3,000 gods throughout human history. The only difference between religion and superstition is the spelling.
My childhood idol and astrophysicist Carl Sagan put it best in three phrases: "Better the hard truth than the comforting fantasy." "The cure for a fallacious argument is a better argument, not the suppression of ideas." And, "Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence." This became the foundation of my personality and questioning nature. I question everything including personal motivations, which is why I had the sense not to vote for Drumph 45.
So, "On the fourth day God created the sun." If there was no sun for the first three "days," how was a day measured without a sun for the earth to circumnavigate? It's a rhetorical question because science knows full well that the earth is more than 4 billion years old and that humans were nowhere to be found until a few million years ago, and even that is debatable. How completely absurd is it that God would become human just to sacrifice himself to himself in order to create a loophole for a rule that he created?
Ultimately, science welcomes and even encourages new information or understanding. This is called "progress." Religion does neither and remains utterly inflexible and dogmatic. To someone like me who demands physical evidence and logical reasoning, religion is a farce. To someone like Notaro, it's a club used to drive away the intellectual population.
The last line of my letter referred to Notaro wielding meaningful political power. He's delusional enough that he believes his single vote is actually meaningful when it is only 0.000000001 percent of the total cast. This simple elementary school math is far beyond any math classes he's ever been exposed to. This is not to say one should not vote. Quite the contrary; only in large numbers may we enact meaningful change.

text: This was a week that saw the return of former leaders with less than successful results. In the World Cup, Spain fell 2-0 to Chile, knocking the defending champions out even before the upcoming knockout rounds. In an even worse reappearance, former Vice President Dick Cheney appeared on Fox News to defend his assertion that President Obama has "been so wrong about so much." But host Megyn Kelly scored a surprise knockout herself when she said, "History has proven that you got it wrong as well in Iraq, sir." As they say: 'Goooooooal!' Meanwhile, on Wednesday, the Patent Office canceled several trademarks on the name "Washington Redskins." Though D.C.'s football team hasn't changed its mascot yet, if they do, I'm partial to renaming them the Washington Drones. Other suggestions that came my way on Twitter include the Watergators, the Lobbyists, the Super PACers, the Gerrymanders, the Filibusters and the Weasels. Tough to choose when they all seem so apt.

June 23, 2013 --On ABC7 News Sunday Morning, Daily herald reporter Tara Garcia Mathewson discussed how an overcrowding issue in Elgin Area School District U-46 will cost taxpayers millions.
It stems from the board approving a $3 million project that includes adding five classrooms to Ontarioville Elementary School which is over capacity. The Hanover Park school is only two miles from Horizon Elementary School, which is a little more than half full. But the district is not making any moves to redraw boundaries, likely because of an ongoing discrimination lawsuit filed after the last boundary change. You can read the full story in the Daily Herald's edition from Sunday, June 23, 2013, or online at dailyherald.com.

Another Christmas has come and gone and I'm anxious to start a new year. It was a low key Christmas and that's how I like it best. Maddie learned how to say "ho, ho, ho" every time she saw a Santa and Olive enjoyed sitting under the tree mesmerized by the lights. As I get older and especially now that we're parents, I realize each year how I want to center the holiday more on Christ and not the presents.

Michigan freshman WR Ahmir Mitchell announces he will transfer
Michigan wide receiver and incoming freshman Ahmir Mitchell announced he'll transfer from Michigan Wednesday afternoon.
Mitchell, who was suspended by coach Harbaugh on Aug. 16 along with sophomore defensive end Shelton Johnson, announced his decision to transfer on Twitter.
All love for the people of Michigan and U of M ?? pic.twitter.com/dATIELCJQe
— Ahmir_SoDevoted (@TheDeuce_2_Nice) August 24, 2016
Harbaugh did not give a reason as to why Mitchell was suspended, nor did he give a timetable for when the freshman would return to the team.
Mitchell's announcement to transfer comes after three four-star recruits decommitted from Michigan in a 24-hour span Tuesday.
By announcing his intent to transfer before the season begins, Mitchell can still enroll at another school in time for the 2016 season. Although he could still enroll at an FBS school, Mitchell would not be allowed to play in the 2016 season according to NCAA transfer rules. However, it could be possible he could redshirt the upcoming season at an FBS school, or play immediately at the FCS or Division II level.
An Egg Harbor City, N.J. native, Mitchell was a four-star recruit and the No. 7 overall prospect in the state of New Jersey, and was expected to be in the mix for playing time at wide receiver as a freshman.

Q) What Does The Information From Trade Judge Mean?
Q) What does the information in the Trade Judge tables and output mean? For example, what does the "Value" for each team mean? Also, what does the "Initial Win %", and other rows indicate?
A) Starting with the top table in Trade Judge, the "Value" assigned to each player is the amount that a team's probability to win the championship goes down if a team loses that player and the player is not replaced. When creating this chart, Trade Judge is using blended projections from the four sources. The better a team's probability to win the championship the greater the loss to probability to win when the team losses a player.
Next, Trade Judge uses each set of the four sources of projections one at a time.
- The "Initial Win %" row in the second table is the probability that each team will win the championship based on the current roster and not accounting for waivers.
- The "Trade Adjusted Win %" row is the probability to win based on the trade using the original rosters of the teams performing the trade (prior to pseudo-waiver adjustment). All other teams still have the pseudo-waivers.
Finally, the effect of the trade is calculated. Depending on how everything comes out, Trade Judge uses complex logic to figure out if the trade should be allowed.
One thing that may seem a bit suspect are results that may seem dramatically different than the others. If one provider agreed that a trade hurts one team, it would seem to be an unbalanced trade, but it would still be accepted because it is hurting the stronger team and helping the weaker team. This does not upset the balance of the league so should be allowed. Trade Judge is not trying to protect teams from making bad trades for themselves, it is trying to protect the league from trades that are unbalanced and bad for the league.

Melissa Mccarthy has spoken out about the controversy surrounding her Elle magazine cover, revealing she picked out the oversized coat which prompted critics to blast editors at the publication for trying to conceal the star's weight.
The Bridesmaids star is featured on the November (13) issue sporting a Marina Rinaldi coat and reveals the wardrobe choice was all her idea.
She tells Eonline.com, "I was so sick of summer. I live in Southern California. I was like, 'Give me a big coat to wear. Give the girl some cashmere!
"I picked the coat. They were like, 'The dress is really great,' but I was like, 'Yeah, but look at this'. I was just shocked I didn't steal it. Now I think I really should have the coat. I'm petitioning for that coat. Give me that coat. I earned it, damn it!"
A publicist for the magazine defended the cover in a statement shortly after the controversy erupted, stating, "On all of our shoots, our stylists work with the stars to choose pieces they feel good in, and this is no different: Melissa loved this look, and is gorgeous on our cover."

When you want to sell or buy Iranian rial, you have to get some information and knowledge. The best way is to learn more about the Iran's economy and currency before selling or buying the rial. First of all, you have to work with good and well trusted dealer that will offer you the best currency value and will stand with full guarantee of authenticity and future exchange guarantee. If you want to buy or sell Iranian rial in USA, there are some things you need to know. In the past few years US and other nations have softened the previous hard-line political stances regarding the Iran independent nuclear industry and program. US negotiators are making an agreement with Iran and are taking steps of making the trade restriction easy. Before they have worked against Iran, today they have to work together. When the restrictions will be lifted the petroleum industry of Iran will expand quickly. And this is possible because the country of Iran will be able to use the advantages of the latest technologies and equipments. Then, the country of Iran will become economic and political giant on a global level. Because of this reason the Iranian currency, the rial, has become interesting for many experts for observing. They are all waiting for the process of normalization and stabilization of the Iranian trade and currency. These people have recognized the economic potential of Iran because Iran is holding one fifth of the world petroleum reserves and this is the reason why many of the economic and political experts believe that the Iran's economy has great potential. When the obstacles and boundaries, both sanctions over Iran are over, Iran will open the borders to the global success and trade and the selling and buying of the Iranian rial will no longer be a problem or some illegal act of trading. With these possibilities, the Iran petroleum reserve will have an open door to new methods and technologies and the production and trading market will grow up significantly. Today, for a dollar you can buy 29, 000 rial, which is showing that this is far too less than it was through the years before. This is because of the Central Bank of Iran and its control over the pricing of the Iranian rial. The bank is able to intervene in the market place and is able to spend free for maintain the rial at the nominal weak rate. But, despite all of this the Iranian rial is not available for selling and buying at this point of time. Once the US get rid of the sanctions, and that is expected to happen very soon, the Iran's economy will revive and will have a shining future. When you are selling or buying Iranian rial do it from top currency dealer that will offer you authenticity guarantee. There is little bit of a danger because of the counterfeit banknotes. Rial notes feature have fairly sophisticated an anti counterfeit measures like a security threads and watermarks. They have been issued by the Central Bank of Iran and have been printed in Europe by one of the leading currency printing companies. When you decide to sell Iranian rial you have to do it on highest price so you have more customers. If you are asking your self should you sell the rials if you have them, then here are some reasons why you shouldn't do that:
- Because the economy of Iran is growing
- Because there are expectations off easing the trade restrictions
- Because the relationship between Iran and US is stabilizing and improving
- Because of the government monetary policy
- Because of the great development of the Iranian oil and petroleum industry

Women's track finishes successful season at NCAA championships
Walkonen leads for half of 10,000-meter race, but injury forces withdrawal
BU women's track Terrier Andrea Walkonen's California gold rush left most competitors eating dust halfway through the 10,000-meter race in the NCAA Championships on June 8.
Walkonen (SAR'08), seeded fifth in the competition in Sacramento, moved immediately into the lead. Joined by Auburn's Angela Homan and Oklahoma State's Mary Davies in the front pack, Walkonen ran the 3K in 9:48, and the trio led a chase group of five runners by about 45 meters (approximately 15 yards). Walkonen still led at the halfway point, but with two-and-a-half miles left, a leg injury forced her to pull out of the race.
Despite this disappointment, it was a productive spring for Walkonen and her teammates. The women took second at the America East tournament on May 7 in Durham, N.H., and 10 athletes went on to the NCAA East Regional championship — the most competing from BU since the NCAA switched to a regional format in 2002.
The Terriers' second-place finish at the America East tournament matched their best showing in 13 years. Narrowly edged by the University of Albany, their performance marked a successful debut by new track and cross-country director Robyne Johnson. The coaching veteran and former All-American hurdler came to campus in September after helping the University of California at Berkeley win 10 Pac-10 championships as an assistant coach. Tahari James (CGS'06) took home the Most Outstanding Performer Award, the Outstanding Field Performer Award, and the Coaches' Award, for recording the most points. Walkonen finished first in the 5,000-meter race with a time of 16:19.25.
At the NCAA East Regional, Walkonen qualified for the NCAA championships with an automatic qualifying time of 33:18.21. At the same meet, Marisa Ryan (CAS'07) finished 10th in the 3,000-meter steeplechase. James came in 12th in the triple jump with a distance of 12.98 meters (42 feet, 7 inches), 26th in the long jump and the 4×100-meter relay, and 26th in the long jump with a distance of 5.82 meters (19 feet, 1.25 inches). Alexis Beaudet (COM'09) was 33rd in the long jump with a distance of 5.57 meters (18 feet, 3.25 inches). Fellow freshman Rebecca Marshburn (CAS'09) came in 24th in the 400-meter intermediate hurdles with a time of 1:02.40. Jessica Cickay (COM'08) finished 36th in the 3,000-meter steeplechase in 11:23.20, and Abbey Sadowski (CAS'07) was 14th in the 1,500-meter race with a time of 4:28.29. The 4×100-meter relay team of Beaudet, James, Erin Cadden (COM'06), and Melanie Piccolo (SAR'07) finished 15th with a time of 46.89.
Walkonen, a native of Jaffrey, N.H., helped the BU women's cross-country team win the America East title last fall and then spurred on the women's indoor track team to capture the conference crown in February by shattering the 11-year-old America East record in the 5,000-meter race, turning in a time of 16:13.80. She went on to finish 10th in the 5,000-meter race at the NCAA Indoor Track and Field Championships the following month in Fayetteville, Ark., with a time of 16:20.20. That was Walkonen's first trip to the NCAA Championships, but with two years of eligibility left, she seems almost certain to return.

Youngest Civil War historian to give lecture
Youngest Civil War historian to give lecture
CARLISLE, Pa. —
A historian canceled his lecture at the Army Heritage and Education Center in Carlisle scheduled for tomorrow night, and his replacement is 17-year-old Cooper Wingert.

Eyeglass lenses in Irving TX
Your optical health is a high priority for us at Clear Eye Center. It's why we recommend a yearly eye exam at our lens shop in Irving TX. And it's also why we have made the commitment to have the latest technology in our office, allowing our eye doctor to form the most accurate diagnosis possible and to identify the most appropriate treatments for maximum precision and effectiveness. Among those technologies are the Stratus OCT and the Digital Retinography System.
Most of the common eye diseases share one very important aspect: they don't have any clear symptoms in their early stages. This means that a disease like glaucoma, macular degeneration, or diabetic retinopathy can form and progress and all the while you may have no idea at all that it's happening. By the time signs appear, it is usually because you have suffered some degree of eye damage or vision loss, either of which might not be reversible. It's easy to see why our lens shop in Irving TX wants you to have the benefit of advancements such as Stratus OCT, which can can detect indications of damage far earlier than used to be possible. It offers our eye doctor a cross-section view of your retinal layers, and as a result, provides valuable clues to your eye health. And the Digital Retinography System is a digital imaging machine that gives our lens shop in Irving TX clear views of your retina and the back of your eye. Since the best outcomes are so closely linked to early detection, these technologies are essential to putting the odds of a positive result in your favor.
We don't think that you should have to settle for old-fashioned eye exams and their limitations when we can give you a lens shop in Irving TX that is keyed toward promoting the well-being of your eyes in the most effective and timely manner. Schedule an eye exam by calling us today.

When I read on Facebook that Kendra and Ryan were engaged.... in the back of my mind I was really hoping that Kendra would ask me to shoot their big day. You see, we knew Kendra and her family while we lived in Palm Bay Florida. Kendra's father Kevin Able, was the pastor at our church in Palm Bay and Kendra's mom Lee Able was (and still is) one of my wife's best friends. In the summer of 2004 the Able's moved back to their hometown of Martinsville IN just a few months before we moved back our hometown of Lock Haven PA. We joked about it and said that if the Able's weren't around anymore... then we might as well leave Florida. (those back to back hurricanes Frances & Jeanne helped make our decision easier.) Since 2004, the Able's have visited PA a few times and we've been out to IN few times .. 9 hour road trips on Rt 80.
Well Kendra did ask... and I said YES so it was off to IN. We started our Indy adventure Thursday with a Family & Friends mixer at the Aquarium in the Indianapolis Zoo... who wouldn't want to pet the sharks? Friday morning was hair and makeup in Martinsville and then we headed to "the barn". The Ceremony and Reception was at Avon Wedding & Event Barn... I love it when you have ceremony and reception at the same location. It started to get a little cloudy.... fortunately the rain held off just long enough to get the "First Look" and some bridal and family pictures before the ceremony. It started to sprinkle just as guests were arriving so Plan B went into effect. With some quick table and chair modifications... the outside wedding turned into and inside wedding.
Kendra's dad Kevin was allowed to "remove his pastors hat" and just enjoy being her father this day. What a time of celebration by all attending.

This was my first time competing in the PragyanCTF and they did a great job. Each category had a variety of challenges with varying difficulty. Knowing this is a stego challenge, we should look if there are embedded files within the jpeg they give us: stego_50.jpeg.
Using binwalk we can check for embedded files:
As we can see there's a zip archive file named "usethis.zip" within the jpeg file. With help from the dd tool, we can extract the zip file from our jpeg.
After running the extraction using binwalk/dd, we now have 2 files: usethis.zip and 29E0.zip
Only one appears to be a zip archive, the other shows only as a data file.
Unzipping the archive with 7zip, we get a plaintext file, which contains a link towards the steghide tool on sourceforge.
Using the cat command on the other file shows a plaintext string: Delta_Force\m/
Now we use the steghide tool to extract our file from the original stego_50.jpeg given to us at the beginning. Knowing that steghide will prompt us for a password password trying the string Delta_Force\m/ we were successfully able to pull out a file: key_stego_1
Using the cat command on the key_stego_1, we receive our flag: PrAgyaNCTF_sTeg1_key.
