BFA-St. Albans at MVU Jan. 2, 2002
Prints from the images in this gallery start at $2.99 per 4x6 or you can download the image for $1.99. These are relatively low-resolution photos (they are edited images I saved from my days working for the St. Albans Messenger) and so they are not available as high-resolution downloads or as prints larger than 8x12. These images were cropped for newspaper use and therefore many do not 'fit' in traditional photo sizes without additional cropping. If you know someone who is in these photos and may not know they are now available for purchase, please spread the word.Read More

Anne T. and Robert M. Bass Library
The Anne T. and Robert M. Bass Library, formerly known as Cross Campus Library, is a place of both quiet study and dynamic interaction among students, faculty, librarians, and curators. Teaching and learning are integrated with technology, and supported by a collection of approximately 120,000 volumes in subjects most commonly taught in Yale College, as well as books by faculty. Bass Library is connected to Sterling Memorial Library via the Wright Reading Room, which occupies the space formerly known as "Machine City." The Bass Library was designed by Hammond Beeby Rupert Ainge Architects (HBRA) and was re-opened at midnight one evening in October 2007, in the presence of over one thousand members of the Yale community.
What's Available:
|Media Equipment Checkout
|Circulation Desk
|Media Lab
|Lower Level
|Technology Troubleshooting Office
|Lower Level, Room L05
The building is wheelchair-accessible. An outside elevator (located in the pavilion entrance to the Thain Family Cafe and the Bass Library) will take the reader directly to the Bass Library.
To get to the Sterling Memorial Library from the Bass Library, readers with wheelchairs should take the elevator one level up to the tunnel connecting Bass Library and Sterling Memorial Library. Once through the tunnel, in the Wright Reading Room, turn left to the elevator and proceed up to the main level and the Sterling Memorial Library nave.
Classrooms are available on a scheduled basis for persons with reading assistants. All individual study rooms are wheelchair-accessible and sound-proof for persons requiring space to work with reading assistants, play audiotapes, take oral examinations, etc.
After 6:00 p.m., a Yale ID card or a library-issued pass is required to enter the library. Before 6:00 p.m., the library is open to the public. See the library hours section above for the full hours of operation.
Special note for tours: Only Yale-led tours are allowed to enter the building.
From the New Haven Green or Phelps Gate on Old Campus, take College Street north to Elm Street. Make a left onto Elm Street. Go past Calhoun College and Berkeley College (on your right). At High Street, turn right and follow the cement pathway. Sterling Memorial Library will be to the left; and the Women's Table sculpture on your right. Turn right and walk down the stairs. Enter the Bass Library from the pavilion on your left.

Kill la Kill: Unlike Aeolus this one didn't do much for me. It's a bit too out there for me. I like settings that are a little more grounded and thought-out. This is stylized to the point of nonsense. The visual and animation styles are certainly unique, though.
I Couldn't Become a Hero so blah blah blah: Uuuuuugh. Start with a similar premise as The Devil is a Part Timer, remove everything that was funny or interesting about it, turn the fanservice up to 11, and you get this show. OK, the random appearance of the Enterprise was kind of funny, but that was the only thing that got so much as a chuckle out of me in the entire episode. And it had nothing to do with anything else in the show...
Kanata no Kyoukai (Beyond the Boundary on CR): Not really sold on it from the first episode, to be honest. I think it could be interesting, but that's going to depend on where they go with it. Animation was great, of course (it's KyoAni), but the whole thing with having a girl who's ridiculously clumsy but is somehow also a super-badass when she needs to be (without any explanation as to how that works...) really irked me. Anyway, I think there is some potential and I'll certainly watch the next episode, but I'm still skeptical at this point.

The importance of being rooted in a tradition
We live in an exciting age, when the teachings of the great world religions and wisdom traditions are available to all in books, through teachers or the Internet.
This allows an opening of our consciousness to a wider human spirituality. All main religions have many correspondences; in fact there is a common core at the heart of their individual traditions. Gottfried Leibnitz, the 17th century German philosopher and later Aldous Huxley in the 20th century referred to this as the 'Perennial Philosophy'. Because of this many elements in the literature or in the words of teachers in other traditions will resonate with us. This can have two effects: it can deepen and enrich the understanding of our own tradition, but it also carries the danger with it of us becoming spiritual butterflies, taking nectar from many different sources and yet not really being able to digest the many rich ideas to nurture our spiritual being.
His Holiness the Dalai Lama stressed at one of his big gatherings in Bodh Gaya, which Laurence Freeman and some of us attended as part of a whole programme of the 'Way of Peace' interfaith dialogue of our Community with His Holiness, that it was important to return to one's own roots, as all religious traditions shared the same core truth. To illustrate this, he invited Laurence Freeman to share the platform with him as an example that this truth was also in Christianity. He has since then often brought up this same point at many of his international talks. Although we may reject the belief structure of the religion of our parents, we are still rooted in the culture and ideas that have grown out of it.
Meditation, as Laurence Freeman says in 'Jesus, the Teacher Within', "is a way of silence and self-transcendence, a way of relationship and solitude, a way to read without words, to know without thought." The transcendence of the ego is not dependent on a belief structure but on faith. This loving trusting faith/relationship allows us to leave our ego-consciousness behind and connect in our case to the consciousness of Christ, as "Meditation, in the light of the Christian faith, is a deepening encounter with the mind of Christ." The first statement will apply to all the different ways of meditation but the relationship/faith element will be different for each. We connect with our true self in Christ and a Buddhist will connect with his Buddha nature.
John Main, as quoted by Laurence Freeman in 'First Sight' – his exploration of the experience of faith –, says that meditation is a 'way of faith', as "We have to leave ourselves behind before the other appears and without the pre-packaged guarantee that the other will appear." (Word into Silence') It is our faith that Christ is there to guide us that allows us to take the risk to enter the silence of our wider consciousness. Without a relationship with Christ or an enlightened being like the Buddha, we may well enter the silence but may be cast adrift in our own unconscious with all the danger that implies.

Great read, thank you!
I'm a relatively new small web shop owner and I work with low budget small businesses. I wish they would just tell me their budget and I could tell them what I can deliver that will be best for them.
Do you recommend this approach? Any thoughts on what is the best way to get a hard number out of a potential client about what their budget really is?

Bags, shoes and belts reduced to a minimum
Back to basics. That seems to be the watchword of the designers for this winter. The trends are relaxed for chromatic restraint not have to see the invasion of the camel color in our closets-linear silhouettes and functional clothes that shun any artifice.
Accessories are not going to be less and join the crusade to regain some sanity and relaxation in dress. Hence the massive presence of black shoes and beige lounge built with little pieces of skin and with traditional molds. The same goes for handbags and belts, smooth, quiet and with few ornamental details, which call for a new refined style.

U.S. Sen. Mary Landrieu accused Gov. Bobby Jindal of putting politics and personal ambition ahead of the people of Louisiana Tuesday at a news conference where she urged the governor to accept the federal Medicaid expansion.
U.S. Sen. Mary Landrieu accused Gov. Bobby Jindal of putting politics and personal ambition ahead of the people of Louisiana Tuesday at a news conference where she urged the governor to accept the federal Medicaid expansion.
"Saying yes to 400,000 more insured people in Louisiana is the right thing to do for our health and the right thing to do for our economy," said Landrieu, D-La. "The governor's obstructionism is really going to hurt our people and our bottom line."
"It's his quest to be the next president and to check off the Tea Party's 'I am the most conservative person in America' check list," Landrieu added.
But while advocates tout the Medicaid expansion as a great deal for Louisiana, Jindal fired back that Medicaid relies on an outdated model that costs taxpayers billions for poor outcomes. He accused Landrieu of gearing up for her own campaign.
"President Obama and his ally, Senator Landrieu, would have you believe that a government program is good for economic development," Jindal said in a statement. "It's a fundamental philosophical difference. Senator Landrieu and President Obama believe that growing government will help grow jobs. That's not how the economy works."
State Secretary of Health and Hospitals Bruce Greenstein argued that Landrieu and other Medicaid expansion advocates are pushing Louisiana to blindly accept the "largest entitlement program enacted since the 1960s."
The news conference included the release of a report from health care advocacy groups Louisiana Consumer Healthcare Coalition and Families USA. The report says that accepting federal dollars would bring access to affordable health care to 422,000 people in Louisiana and create 15,600 new jobs in the state by 2016.
The federal government pays about 61 percent of the cost of the current Medicaid program. With Medicaid expansion, which is scheduled to start in 2014, the federal government will pick up 100 percent of the costs for the first three years. After that, the state will cover 90 percent of costs.
That Medicaid expansion would cover adults making up to 138 percent of the federal poverty level. That's $15,414 for an individual or $30,650 for a family of four.
Advocates also argued that the increased federal payouts and jobs created by the Medicaid expansion would result in a $1.8 billion increase in economic activity in 2016.
"The Medicaid expansion is a win-win-win proposition for the people of Louisiana," said Ron Pollack, executive director of Families USA. "It would reduce the number of people who can't afford health care, it will increase the number of jobs throughout the state and it will strengthen the state's economy."
Jindal is joined by several other Republican governors in rejecting the federal government's Medicaid expansion program.
Expansion would cost taxpayers in Louisiana more than $1 billion over the next 10 years, Jindal said.
"In Louisiana, we don't have a printing press where we can just print more money," Jindal said. "We have this odd notion that we have to balance our budget. To fix Medicaid, we must target several areas for reform. They include eligibility, benefit design, cost-sharing, use of the private insurance market, financing and accountability."
But advocates argued that Medicaid expansion makes up for the $1 billion price tag in cost savings and the bump it will provide to Louisiana's economy. A recent study by the Kaiser Family Foundation estimates Louisiana could save $267 million in uncompensated care costs from 2013 to 2022.
And uncompensated care doesn't just affect hospitals and doctors, said Moriba Karamoko, director of the Louisiana Consumer Healthcare Coalition, but ancillary health care industries too. The Louisiana Ambulance Association reported about 52 percent of the people they carry are uninsured.
Karamoko added that states do not have to make a years-long commitment to the Medicaid expansion. Gov. Rick Scott of Florida, a Republican, recently announced he would support an initial three-year expansion of Medicaid in the state and would decide later whether to continue that expansion, Karamoko said.
Greenstein challenged the accuracy of the report's numbers and said up to 180,000 people are expected to drop their coverage under the Affordable Care Act to join Medicaid.
Hospitals would not prosper under the Affordable Care Act because Medicaid reimbursements are often low, and hospitals will lose money with more patients on Medicaid, he said.
"We just flat out reject the idea that funneling billions in federal dollars into entitlement programs is a good fiscal move," Greenstein said.

Not Just Solar: The China Car Industry Capacity Problem
By Michael Dunne
Where Chinese solar panels lead, can made-in-China cars be far behind?
China has the capacity to build twice as many solar panels as the world needs--so much so that the Middle Kingdom, according to European officials, has been dumping them overseas. So desperate is the drive to unload extra stock that the Chinese are selling at prices 88% below market value, according to EU trade officials. The EU approved punitive tariffs last week.

- Video: BMW Loses Its Top Electric Team to A Chinese Start Up
We're bound to see a similar, if not quite as extreme, story in cars. By 2018 Chinese and global auto makers, with new factories scattered across China, will be equipped to make more than 30 million cars a year. To put that number in perspective, consider that 30 million cars amount to twice the size of the entire U.S. market.
At the same time, car demand in China has slowed significantly since the heady figures of the last decade, resulting in a yawning gap between capacity and sales. Car dealers nationwide reported mounting inventories in May, a surfeit of idle metal.
Chinese officials, however, remain sanguine. "In the past three decades every time we thought there was overcapacity in the auto industry, we were proved wrong," Dong Yang, chairman of the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers, told reporters earlier this week.
Maybe so. But looking in the rearview mirror means you can neglect to see what is right in front of you. And what is becoming increasingly apparent is that new car-making capacity is being added as quickly as ever--global and Chinese auto makers have announced billions of dollars in expansion plans through 2020.
With such a huge base--China is now the world's largest market--one year of lackluster growth can throw supply and demand completely out of kilter. Cars not absorbed within China will need to find an alternative home in overseas markets.
The looming China car export threat has not gone unnoticed. "If China exports only 10% of what it produces, the risk we face in our home markets is enormous," Sergio Marchionne, chief executive of Chrysler and Fiat, warned recently.
Amidst slower growth in China, Chinese vehicle exports are already jumping. In 2012, China shipped more than one million cars for the first time. That number could double to two million by 2016. Today, the vast majority of Chinese car exports go to emerging markets in Africa, the Middle East and South America, where customers care more about price than fit and finish.
Now, however, the Chinese are starting to deliver cars into more sophisticated markets like Australia and South Africa, threatening to deliver knockout blows to some established local producers.
Ford Motor last month announced its decision to stop making cars in Australia, citing an expensive home currency and killer competition from Asian producers, including the Chinese. "Manufacturing is not viable for Ford in Australia in the long term," Ford Australia President Bob Graziano told reporters. Australian consumers find Chinese car prices, which start as low as $12,000, simply irresistible.
As with solar panels, the decisive car battleground will be in Europe, where Germany is the only remaining competitive manufacturer of cars. Look for the Chinese to enter the continental market via the younger markets in Eastern Europe.
But they won't stop there Great Wall Motor, China's largest SUV maker, has already planted showrooms in Rome and other European capitals.
How things play out in Europe will undoubtedly have implications for the U.S. market in the years ahead.
If car demand in China remains tepid, you can bet on seeing more Chinese cars on European streets in a hurry. Then it will be up to the European Commission to determine just how far below market value China-made cars are priced.
China, already angry about new EU tariffs on solar panels, will no doubt counter punch with an investigation into Europe's lucrative luxury car exports to China.
When trade tempers flare it is easy to lose sight of the core provocateur. There's simply too much capacity. Massive investment in new car plants--by both foreign joint ventures and Chinese companies - has been based on the key assumption that China's economy would continue to expand at high rates of growth. That's no longer the case--and the pain is just starting to register.

Das FEST music festival in Karlsruhe is one of Germany's biggest open-air events, attracting over 200,000 visitors. It has been held every year in late July since 1985 – on the last weekend before the start of the school holidays in Baden-Württemberg.
If the atmosphere at FEST is on a par with Karlsruhe's famously good weather, it's probably due in part to the concept behind the festival, which really does aim to appeal to everyone and puts child-friendliness high on the agenda. Whilst the grown-ups get rocking, kids can have fun in the fully supervised play zone, playing, splashing and tumbling in total safety – this is what sets FEST apart from all other festivals.

I wish I didn't have to write this letter, but the MTA monopoly failed the public trust once again.
On May 14, at Beach 105th Street and Rockaway Beach Boulevard at 10:29 p.m. I waited with two other commuters for the Q53 bus going to Woodside. The 10:30 p.m. bus did not show, and the 10:50 p.m. bus showed up at 11:01 p.m.
An exhausted commuter stated she was waiting for the bus since 10 p.m., and 61 minutes later the Q53 bus finally arrived. Another commuter said three Q53 buses went towards Beach 116th Street during her wait. Where did they go?
The MTA will do nothing to correct the problem, and no one will be punished or fired. The public benefit corporation only benefits the upper-level bureaucrats who push paper and lie to the public.
The governor and mayor need to clean house at the MTA or dissolve it. Can someone make a difference here?
I would like to support public transit, but the MTA makes it harder everyday for poor people to get around.

Consumers might have increased spending in the fourth quarter by the fastest amount in three years, but what we really want to know is what they did in December.
The monthly report on consumer spending released Friday will tell us if most of the increase came in the first two months of the quarter or was spread out. Overall spending in the fourth quarter jumped 3.3%, the government said Thursday.
Why does it matter? A weak December number would suggest Americans scaled back at the end of the year. What's more, it could be a sign of slower growth in the first quarter of 2014 if consumers really did turn cautious again.
Economists polled by MarketWatch forecast a 0.2% gain in spending, down from 0.5% in November. Personal income is seen rising a scant 0.1%.
The report is issued at 8:30 a.m. Eastern by the Commerce Department.
Another closely watched report, the University of Michigan's consumer-sentiment survey, is expected to rise slightly.
Economists expect the gauge to tick up to a final January reading of 81 from a preliminary level of 80.4, making up some of the drop from December's final reading of 82.5.
Weak data on jobs and rising gas prices cut sentiment levels this month for the University of Michigan/Thomson Reuters index. Economists watch sentiment levels to get a feeling for the direction of consumer spending.
The report will be released at 9:55 a.m. Eastern.
Also Friday, the employment cost index is projected to climb 0.4% in the fourth quarter and the Chicago PMI index is likely to slip to 59.8 in January from 60.8, according to the MarketWatch survey.

text: Suspected Islamic militants have struck for a fourth time in three days in Nigeria, killing 20 people including a traditional ruler in attacks in the northeast, local government and security officials said Wednesday.The unprecedented string of attacks, which started with a massive explosion in the capital that killed at least 75 people, has many questioning the ability of Nigeria's military to contain the 5-year-old Islamic uprising. It has killed more than 1,500 people this year alone, compared to an estimated 3,600 between 2010 and 2013."Once again, the sophisticated methods of the bombers and insurgents, the audacity of their open attacks and the devastating stealth with which they operate ... calls into question the strategy of the Nigerian security forces and their commitment to the fight," The Guardian newspaper of Nigeria said in an editorial Wednesday."As Nigeria bleeds all over, a more heart-rending phenomenon is the politicization of the insurgency," the independent and authoritative newspaper said. "The ruling elite seems conscienceless enough to be exploiting the crisis, in symbols and in substance."Just last week the emir of embattled Gwoza district had appealed to the government to "save our souls," saying his people are being attacked daily.By Tuesday, one of his local monarchs was dead."They simply walked right into the palace of the monarch and shot him in his bedroom, and on their way out they also shot his guard before fleeing," said local politician Hyeldi Bwala.Wednesday morning, gunmen attacked the village of Wala, in Gwoza district, and killed 18 people, according to a local government official and an intelligence agent. They both spoke on condition of anonymity because they are not authorized to speak to reporters.The emir, Idrissa Timta, had indicated security forces were inadequate and said he might have to flee to neighboring Cameroon "where we may perhaps get protection.""We in Gwoza have suffered too many attacks, killings and destruction," he said. "Our people have been forced to flee, our markets no longer operate optimally, food items, goods and wares are no longer coming in ... We want action from government so that lives can be saved."The attacks come after Monday's explosion just miles (kilometers) from Nigeria's seat of government, timed for the busy morning rush hour to ensure maximum casualties, and Tuesday's abduction of about 100 young women writing final exams at a school, also in Gwoza.A reward of 50 million naira ($300,000) was offered Wednesday for information leading to the young women's safe return by Gov. Kashim Shettima of Borno state. He said 14 of the students have managed to escape - four who jumped from a moving open truck before dawn Tuesday, and 10 who managed to run away from their abductors Wednesday when they were told to cook for the insurgents.Shettima said the principal of the boarding school told him the extremists arrived dressed in military fatigues and posing as soldiers. He said the principal believed they were taking away the students for their own safety, and it was only as they were leaving and started shooting that he realized his mistake.The militants killed a soldier and a police officer guarding the school.The Daily Trust newspaper published a heart-warming story about the Abuja disaster, of a 10-month-old baby who was lost in the chaos of the bomb blast.The toddler, named Goodness, was being cared for at a hospital where it was presumed her mother was among the dead. But family members found Gloria Adams, the mother, in another hospital. And then an aunt discovered baby Goodness.Hospital officials reunited the two Wednesday, Goodness with a black eye swollen shut that doctors said they were monitoring. But Adams apparently suffered serious injuries as she is in the intensive care unit of Wuse General Hospital.Health officials say 141 wounded victims are in 15 hospitals and clinics. The death toll is expected to rise as it does not yet include victims who were blown apart.Meanwhile, President Goodluck Jonathan is coming under fire for traveling to northern Kano city on Tuesday for a political rally seen as campaigning ahead of elections scheduled February 2015."Heartless" and "insensitive" were just some of the perjoratives posted about him on social media Wednesday.Gov. Rabi'u Kwankwaso of Kano state berated the president for "gallivanting round the country" while Nigerians are in mourning and worrying about the fate of the kidnapped students. Jonathan's government has not yet responded to the criticism.-SAPA

Kevetrin Anti-Cancer Drug to Be Tested in Combination With Compounds From Leading Pharmaceutical Company
BEVERLY, MA--(Marketwire - Sep 10, 2012) - Cellceutix Corporation (
"It seems that the potential of Kevetrin is starting to circle the globe. This University has a distinguished reputation in hematological diseases," commented Dr. Krishna Menon, Chief Scientific Officer at Cellceutix. "Our patent has been published. Only when a compound looks extremely promising do major pharmaceutical companies and universities approach a smaller company like Cellceutix. This gives us a great sense of confirmation as to the potential of Kevetrin and validation in our beliefs about the possible robust number of indications where it could provide a therapeutic benefit."
"Effectively, a University sponsored phase 1 clinical trial on blood cancers will save Cellceutix millions of dollars," added Cellceutix Chief Executive Officer Leo Ehrlich. "We feel that we are in a phenomenal position with our own clinical trials on solid tumors being conducted at Dana-Farber and Beth Israel Deaconess, additional studies on melanoma and renal cancers at Beth Israel Deaconess in combination with Pfizer drugs, and now this prestigious University wishing to host additional clinical trials on blood cancers in combination with drugs from another of the world's largest pharmaceutical companies. The recent valuations paid for early stage blood cancer therapeutics makes this a very hot segment in biotech and potentially makes the Kevetrin franchise even more valuable."
Therapies for blood cancers such as leukemia are in great demand because of few viable treatments on the market today and a limited number of candidates showing strong promise in clinical research. Acquisitions this year by major pharmas have demonstrated this demand and value of new compounds. In January, Celgene Corporation acquired Avila Therapeutics in a deal valued up to $925 million. Celgene's focus of the acquisition was AVL-292 as a treatment for patients with B-cell blood cancers. AVL-292 was in Phase I clinical trials at the time of acquisition.
On August 30, a Johnson & Johnson unit, Janssen Biotech Inc., signed a deal to obtain global license rights to blood cancer compound daratumumab from Danish pharmaceutical group Genmab. All told, the deal could total $1.1 billion for Genmab for a drug that is presently in phase I/II clinical trials.
Rodman and Renshaw Annual Global Investment Conference
Additionally, Cellceutix reports that its CEO Leo Ehrlich and Chief Scientific Officer Dr. Krishna Menon will be presenting a corporate presentation at the Rodman and Renshaw Annual Global Investment Conference's (14th Annual Healthcare Conference) on Tuesday, September 11, 2012, at 3:40 p.m. Eastern Time at the Waldorf Astoria Hotel in New York City. A live webcast of the presentation will be available at http://www.wsw.com/webcast/rrshq22/ctix. An archived webcast of the presentation will be available on the Investors page at www.cellceutix.com.
About Kevetrin™
As a completely new class of chemistry in medicine, Kevetrin™ has significant potential to be a major breakthrough in the treatment of solid tumors. Mechanism of action studies showed Kevetrin's unique ability to affect both wild and mutant types of p53 (often referred to as the "Guardian Angel Gene" or the "Guardian Angel of the Human Genome") and that Kevetrin strongly induced apoptosis (cell death), characterized by activation of Caspase 3 and cleavage of PARP. Activation of p53 also induced apoptosis by inducing the expression of p53 target gene PUMA. p53 is an important tumor suppressor that acts to restrict proliferation by inducing cell cycle checkpoints, apoptosis, or cellular senescence.
In more than 50 percent of all human carcinomas, p53 is limited in its anti-tumor activities by mutations in the protein itself. Currently, there are greater than 10 million people with tumors that contain inactivated p53, while a similar number have tumors in which the p53 pathway is partially abrogated by inactivation of other signaling components. This has left cancer researchers with the grand challenge of searching for therapies that could restore the protein's protective function, which Kevetrin appears to be doing the majority of the time.
About Cellceutix
Headquartered in Beverly, Massachusetts, Cellceutix is a publicly traded company under the symbol "CTIX". It is an emerging bio-pharmaceutical company focused on the development of its pipeline of compounds targeting areas of unmet medical need. Our flagship compound, Kevetrin™, is an anti-cancer drug which has demonstrated the ability in pre-clinical studies to regulate the p53 pathway and attack cancers which have proven resistant to today's cancer therapies (drug-resistant cancers). Cellceutix also owns the rights to seven other drug compounds, including Prurisol, which is in development for psoriasis, and KM-391 for the treatment of the core symptoms of autism. More information is available on the Cellceutix web site at www.cellceutix.com.

The South African (ZA) honeynet project consists of members from Academia, Science Councils and the Private Sector. Our interests are in better understanding the threats against ZA IP space in particular. Much of our expertise lies in passive traffic analysis and very low interaction honeypot systems.
The chapters home page is at http://www.honeynet.org.za.
At the last BruCON conference in Ghent last year I had the pleasure to talk to Soraya (Iggi), Bsides London co-organizer. She convinced me into submitting a workshop proposal for the Bsides London 2013.
And guess what, it got accepted.
So I will be doing a workshop on setting up a basic kippo SSH honeypot from Upi Tamminen (http://code.google.com/p/kippo/) and if time permits, using Ioannis Koniaris (Ion) kippo visualization tool kippo-graph (http://bruteforce.gr/kippo-graph).
Bsides London will be held on April 24th 2013 at Kensington and Chelsea Town Hall Read more »
The ZA chapter has faced a busy year (non HNP) work wise. As a relatively young chapter, organisation and recruitment is still very much on the agenda. Much of the work being done is also within the Security and Networks Research Group (SNRG) at Rhodes University, of which a number of us are members. Read more »
Identifying unknown files by using fuzzy hashing
Over the last couple of years I have captured about 2 gigabytes of malware using the Dionaea honeypot. Analysing and identifying those files can mostly be done by sites as Virustotal, Anubis or CWsandbox. By modifying the ihandler section in the dionaea.conf this can be done fully automated.
Every now and then even these excellent analysis sites come up with nothing. No result or whatsoever. This could be because its a brand new sample of malware which simply isn't recognised yet or it is a morphed sample of a known and existing one. Read more »
As we are a new chapter in the HoneyNet Project, there have been no changes to the organizational structure. Barry and I are working on expanding the network within South Africa in an attempt to gain more sensor nodes and hopefully track attacks over a larger area within the country.

Welcome to the South African Chapter.
We're starting off small with a couple of pots in South African IP space. Our focus is on malware delivered via SMB services which aren't a variant of Conficker. We also monitor SSH attacks and any malicious software originating from these compromises.
We're currently busy with completing the setup of our hosting infrastructure so the Wordpress site is just temporary.

High on Paid Meds, Wisdom Tooth Patient Professes Her Love for Scotty McCreery
File this video under things never to forgive mom for. A teen riding home after getting her wisdom teeth pulled was interrogated on video … by her mother! Amongst the revelations: Scotty McCreery is apparently her boyfriend.
WBKR-FM in Owensboro, Ky. first shared this video of Sabrina Vincent, a teen who had just undergone oral surgery to remove her wisdom teeth. There's over 18 minutes of footage of her drive home with Mom on YouTube, but the above clip is the best.
Mother Michelle gets her daughter to admit her fondness for the 'American Idol' winner (who she says she's been dating for two years) before singing a line of 'I Love You This Big.' Later, Sabrina admits she also has another boyfriend, a guy named John. Those two text each other, while she dates McCreery in secret (a secret he likely isn't aware of).
Other highlights from the trip home? Sabrina wants to see Santa Claus at the mall, there are marshmallows on her arm, her Granny prayed for her at church, she wants to help children with cancer when she grows up and Jesus told her to go to Taco Bell.
Mom eventually explains why she's videotaping the event. "I was gonna get a good laugh out of it," she says in clip No. 3. "It cost enough money."

The nvSRAM IP blocks come with unlimited and fast (20ns) read and write operation and a standard SRAM interface. A full parallel data backup up to 125Mb/s guarantees fast store operation. Because the energy for storage is gathered during the normal operation cycle, no additional customer control circuitry is needed. In addition, the compact design and small silicon footprint hold down device costs.
|To guarantee stable and reliable production of the nvSRAM solutions, X-FAB has installed a dedicated 0.18 micrometer manufacturing process on 8-inch wafers optimized for highly reliable memories based on SONOS architecture. The special memory solutions developed by Anvo-Systems Dresden survive γ-ray sterilization.
|Anvo-Systems Dresden, after introducing its serial nvSRAM product families earlier this year, recently released a new parallel 256k nvSRAM product family with 25ns access time, unlimited Read/Write cycles, multiple STORE options and unique security features. The company will present its parallel nvSRAM solution at the electronica show in Munich next week (Hall A6, Booth 565).
|As part of X-FABs X-CHAIN design and supply chain partner network, Anvo-Systems is among more than 30 companies specialized in chip design, test, assembly, supply chain management or turnkey IC solutions. The network partners provide additional services to X-FABs customers that go beyond the pure-play foundry approach.

Race Quip Products
RaceQuip's new FIA/SFI Camlock Harness belt set offers loads of features along with affordable pricing and it exceeds both the SFI 16.1 specification and the stringent FIA 8853/98 standard. This "dual certification" allows racers in some sanctions (SCCA, NASA, and more) to use these belts for five years instead of just two.
RaceQuip starts with a super-lightweight 165 gram magnesium alloy cam buckle that features an engagement cone which allows the belts to snap into the cam mechanism at angles of 21 degrees left or right and 11 degrees up and down. Precise internal spring pressure allows a positive feel on the 45 degree (right or left) unlatch movement without fear of accidental opening.
The 751 series Camlock belt set comes in a six-point configuration with a pull-down lap-belt design and features drop-forged steel buckle hardware that is sewn onto a proprietary 3-inch webbing called "transverse mono filament woven." This means there are mono filament fibers inter-woven into the straps in a pattern that transverses the standard weave. This design adds strength while yielding a smoother edge on the belts.
The harness sets also feature premium, lightweight, non-slip aluminum shoulder adjusters with easy lift grips while the lap-belt adjusters utilize an anti-slip tensioner device. Heavy-duty drop-forged steel slide bars and bolt-on ends come already installed, but they can be easily removed if you prefer to mount your belts by wrapping them around a rollbar. Belt adjustment lengths are 10 inches to 75 inches for shoulders and 20 inches to 60 inches for the lap belt.
RaceQuip Camlock Harness Sets sell for $199.99 racer net, and are available in black, red, or blue. Like all RaceQuip harness sets, they can still be rewebbed and SFI certified after the expiration date.

Super Bowl 2013 is in the books at last. After a historic power outage and a near-comeback for the ages, we're finally ready to put a bow on the 47th version of the NFL's championship classic.
The blackout that bathed the Mercedes-Benz Superdome in auxiliary lights after a power outage during Super Bowl 2013 dominated game-day coverage across the nation. Fans at the game in New Orleans said the 34-minute lapse in power caused little disruption and welcomed the opportunity it gave them to hit the concession stands without missing any action.
Here's what other national media are saying about the game day blackout:
San Francisco Chronicle: Opinions vary about blackout's effect
San Jose Mercury: New Orleans braces for fallout from blackout
The Baltimore Sun: Chrysler, Oreo score with ads during delayed Super Bowl
CBS Baltimore: Super Bowl Sunday turns into Blackout Sunday
The Los Angeles Times: Did Beyoncé cause the Super Bowl blackout?
New York Daily News: CBS drops the ball in Superdome blackout coverage by failing to press the NFL for answers
The New York Times: Before Game is Decided, Superdome goes dark
So on the good side ...
» Record ratings: Last night's game scored an overnight 48.1 rating (or percentage of total homes in major markets tuned to the program) and 71 share (percentage tuned to the game in homes with a set in use). The rating is up 1 percent year-to-year, and tops the previous rating champ, the 2011 game between Green Bay and Pittsburgh.
» Commercials: There was a lot to like last night, according to reactions from around the country. The Clydesdales, Doritos and Taco Bell are getting the most attention. Here are reactions from mLive.com's John Gonzalez, the Star-Ledger's Anthony Venutolo, and NOLA.com's Dave Walker.
» Beyonce: NOLA.com's Keith Spera says the most athletic performance on the field during the Super Bowl may well have been Beyonce's. For 12 minutes, she demonstrated the benefits of favorable genetics, relentless rehearsal, and really awesome hair.
And on the not-so-good side ...
» Whining: Star-Ledger columnist Steve Politi takes Jim Harbaugh to task on how he reacted to losing the big game to his big brother.
The older brother gave a clinic on how to be graceful after a victory, telling the entire world that the losing coach in the Super Bowl was the best in the business.
The younger brother showed everyone exactly how not to handle a defeat on the biggest stage, behaving like an overgrown brat after the referees didn't throw a flag for defensive holding on the final play of the decisive drive, and then in a six-minute news conference never praising his brother once for what he accomplished.
Lots to look at ...
» Photo galleries? Yes, we have them. From Beyonce's halftime show. And the great power blackout. And from the fans. And the post-game celebration. And, oh yeah, the game itself.

Amanda Knox's lawyer: 'She's ready to fight'
Lawyers representing American student Amanda Knox vow to continue to battle after an appeals court ruling overturned their acquittal for the murder of Meredith Kercher. VPC
SEATTLE — Amanda Knox was nowhere to be found Tuesday after news arrived from Italy that her successful appeal of a conviction in a bizarre murder overseas was rescinded and she may have to stand trial again.
In the 1 1/2 years since her acquittal, Knox returned to classwork at the University of Washington, sometimes seen with a boyfriend, a musician. The massive coverage she was subjected to by the Italian and British press during her trial did not follow her here. The media in Seattle have largely let her be.
"It seems unfortunate for her and her family and friends that this is starting all over again," model Douglas White said as he waked out of a building in a neighborhood in the city's Chinatown section, where Knox was said to have an apartment.
"I wish her the best," he said. "If I see her, I'll say 'hi.' Everybody is innocent until proven guilty, and she's innocent."
An Italian high court on Tuesday ordered Knox, 25, and her Italian ex-boyfriend, Raffaele Sollecito, retried in the death of British exchange student Meredith Kercher, whose bloody body was found in November 2007 in her bedroom at the house she shared with Knox and other roommates in Perugia, an Italian university town where the two women were exchange students. Her throat had been slashed and she had doezns of wounds.
Prosecutors alleged Kercher, 21, was killed in a sex and drug game that got out of hand. Knox and Sollecito said it was a lie, and that neither was even in the house when it happened. An Ivory Coast man was convicted in the case too and is serving a 16-year sentence. Knox's defense lawyers say that man was the sole killer, and he implicated Knox at the urging of prosecutors who promised him a lesser sentence.
They were cleared in October 2011 after a hearing revealed that police had tainted much of the critical evidence in the case, and that DNA evidence was handled improperly. Knox waited up all night for the ruling, which came around 2 a.m. West Coast time. The Italian Supreme Court said it would not explain its rationale for its ruling until the summer.
Knox issued a statement through a family spokesman soon afterward saying it was "painful" to hear the ruling but that she is confident that the truth will exonerate her.
"No matter what happens, my family and I will face this continuing legal battle as we always have, confident in the truth and with our heads held high in the face of wrongful accusations and unreasonable adversity," she said.
"The prosecution responsible for the many discrepancies in their work must be made to answer for them, for Raffaele's sake, my sake, and most especially for the sake of Meredith's family. Our hearts go out to them," the statement said. "No matter what happens, my family and I will face this continuing legal battle as we always have, confident in the truth and with our heads held high in the face of wrongful accusations and unreasonable adversity."
Kercher's family attorney, Francesco Maresca, said after the ruling, "Yes, this is what we wanted."
Sollecito's attorney, Giulia Bongiorno, noted that Tuesday's ruling was not a determination of guilt but merely a need for further study of the appeals court ruling. Knox's lawyer, Carlo Della Vedova, said in Rome that hios client is "ready to fight."
"She is very sad, she thought that the nightmare was over," he said.
However, some legal experts doubt Knox will ever have to return to Italy even if her earlier conviction is upheld and her sentence of 26 years reinstated.
Giorgio Spangher, head of the law school at Rome's Sapienza University, said any Italian request for extradition could easily fail to meet the guidelines for ordering a U.S. citizen to Rome. Italy must demonstrate a proof of guilt that's recognized by a U.S. court.
The 2011 appeal that was successful was based on the argument that all the proof in the case was flawed in some way, either through outright tampering or inconclusive results so it's quite possible that any conviction now would not be recognized by a U.S. court.
Spangher points out that the case hasn't been reopened, but that the 2011 appeal that acquitted Knox and Sollecito was annulled. He said Knox cannot be compelled to return to Italy for the court proceedings to follow but can choose to do so voluntarily. If she's convicted in absentia, Italy could request her extradition.
"We have to wait and see what she decides to do, but if she were my client, I would not advise her to return for this case," Spangher said.
It is still possible Knox and Sollecito will be acquitted again. There is no new proof in the case, and the flaws remain.The next step is to set a date for a hearing in the court in Florence, which is likely not to be held for months.
Knox's lawyers in Italy and the USA must prepare two legal fights on her behalf, said Stephen Vladeck, an expert on international criminal law at American University's Washington College of Law. In Italy, they must prepare for an entirely new trial, Vladeck said. In the USA, they should start researching challenges to extradition.
A new trial would involve recalling witnesses and reviewing forensic evidence before a jury and could proceed without Knox's presence.
"As long as she has competent lawyers, and I'm sure she will, it's less of a concern for her to be physically present" at trial, Vladeck said.
The case is unlikely to be considered a case of double jeopardy by U.S. courts because Knox was never acquitted before a jury, Vladeck said. That is unlikely to stop Knox's U.S. lawyers from mounting a challenge to extradition if she is convicted a second time.
"They're going to start looking for cases where (extradition) requests were turned down or courts have blocked it," Vladeck said. "I suspect they will try to make a version of the double jeopardy argument anyway."
Knox served four years in prison in Italy before her freedom was granted and was portrayed often as a crazed American sex deviant by the press, who referred to her as "Foxy Knoxy" in headlines.
Enrico Campione, 50, an art restorer from Rome, sympathized with Knox.
"The poor girl. I don't know if she's innocent or guilty, but they had two trials already, and they should know that," he said. "If she's guilty, she should be punished, of course. But I feel bad for her that she can't put his behind her."
Sabina De Tomaso, 29, a restaurant worker, was not as sure.
"I had a feeling she was guilty before and she got off because she had expensive lawyers and they found technical problems," De Tomaso said. "I hope they will find the truth now."
