PRETORIA, South Africa (AP) — Oscar Pistorius held his head in his hands and wept openly in court Friday as prosecutors said they would pursue a charge of premeditated murder against the Paralympic superstar.
Pistorius was formally charged at Pretoria Magistrate's Court with one count of murder after his girlfriend, Reeva Steenkamp, a model and budding reality TV show contestant. The 30-year-old was shot multiple times and died at Pistorius' upmarket home early Thursday morning.
Prosecutor Gerrie Nel said Friday in court it was premeditated murder, indicating the prosecution would file that more serious charge, upgraded from murder.
The double-amputee athlete's arrest and murder charge had already left South Africa stunned after Steenkamp's death on Valentine's Day at Pistorius' house in a gated community in an eastern suburb of South Africa's capital, Pretoria.
Following the hearing, Pistorius' family and his London management company issued a statement calling into question the criminal charge the 26-year-old athlete faces.
"The alleged murder is disputed in the strongest terms," the statement read. The statement did not elaborate.
The statement also said Pistorius wanted to "send his deepest sympathies to the family of Reeva."
"He would also like to express his thanks through us today for all the messages of support he has received — but as stated our thoughts and prayers today should be for Reeva and her family — regardless of the circumstances of this terrible, terrible tragedy," the statement read.
Those who knew Pistorius, including a former girlfriend, also weighed in on social media.
Trish Taylor, mother of Pistorius' ex-girlfriend Samantha Taylor, wrote on Facebook: "I'm so glad Sammy is safe and out of the clutches of that man."
But another ex-girlfriend, Jenna Edkins, defended Pistorius in messages Friday on Twitter.
"All I am saying is let him speak, let his side be heard without jumping to conclusions," Edkins wrote. She offered "love and support" to the Pistorius family and wrote: "I have dated Oscar on and off for 5 YEARS, NOT ONCE has he EVER lifted a finger to me or made me fear for my life."
Prosecutors said Friday that they would argue the history-making Olympic athlete — the first amputee to run at the games — had planned Steenkamp's killing. It sent South Africans reeling further as their national hero, and a global role model in overcoming adversity, was set to face accusations that he intentionally gunned down his girlfriend.
South Africa's tabloid Citizen newspaper had the headline "Blade gunner?" Friday morning, playing on double-amputee athlete Pistorius' well-known nickname of "Blade Runner" because of his carbon fiber running blades.
Pistorius stood with his face in his hands as he broke down in tears on his first appearance at the Pretoria Magistrates' Court. Chief Magistrate Desmond Nasir delayed Pistorius' bail hearing until next Tuesday and Wednesday and ruled that Pistorius would be held at a police station in Pretoria until then. Police have said they oppose the granting of bail.
A solemn Pistorius entered the court wearing a gray suit and blue tie and initially appeared composed. When he broke down in tears, his brother, Carl, reached out a hand and placed it on his shoulder. Pistorius' father, Henke, was in the court and later reached over to comfort him as well.
More than 100 people packed Friday morning into Courtroom C at the Pretoria Magistrates Court, including dozens of photographers and videographers. Nasir ruled that no recordings of court proceedings would be allowed in the case.
Police said Friday investigators also conducted an autopsy on Steenkamp's body. Lt. Col. Katlego Mogale said the results of the autopsy would not be published.
Pistorius earlier left a police station, his jacket completely covering his head as he got into a police vehicle. He was holding what appeared to be a white handkerchief in one hand. He was led by officers to a police van outside the Boschkop Police Station in eastern Pretoria, where he had been questioned on Thursday and had spent the night in custody.
A policeman was also seen carrying a handgun in a plastic forensic bag outside the Boschkop station. It was believed to be the weapon used to shoot and kill Steenkamp.
Police said the victim was shot four times at Pistorius' villa in a gated community. Officers found a 9 mm pistol inside the home.
Pistorius made history at the London Olympics last year when he became the first double-amputee track athlete to compete at any games. He didn't win a medal but did make the semifinals of the 400 meters and the final of the 4X400 relay, propelling the world's best-known Paralympian to the level of an international track star and one of the world's best-known sportsmen.
But police hinted at a troubled lifestyle away from public scrutiny for the runner Thursday when they said there had previously been domestic incidents at Pistorius' home.

38 Welcoming Foyers
Pretty patterns
Paisley and florals in muted colors echo the wooded landscape outside this Lake Michigan home yet give the space a sense of sophistication.
Country charm
A wood shelf with hooks below showcases art and holds baskets for storage. A rustic wood perch accommodates drop-offs and provides seating.
Happy hello
A green lamp and watercolor painting hint at the decor beyond this entry. White shutters allow light in and peeks at the view beyond.
Enliven an entry
Covering an ottoman with bold fabric or rug adds bright color to an entry. The dark and light coral canvases continue the scheme at eye level.
Rack it up
A coat rack and dresser with drawers and a shelf create spots for hanging and hiding.
Light-filled space
If your foyer is dark, consider installing a French door, or if some privacy is necessary, flank a solid door with sidelights. Extra light makes an entryway feel larger as well as brighter. In this foyer, solid, sizeable furniture connects the space to the other rooms.
Stairstep style
Many entries open directly into a stairway. This foyer achieves a sense of place with a wall lantern, sculptures and art on built-in ledges that climb with the stairs. The windows in the door offer light, while a narrow pedestal and see-through acrylic chair add space-saving style.
Colorful personality
Small spaces often look better when splashed with color and large patterns than bigger rooms do, because a confined space can have drama without being overwhelming. In this foyer, a subtle life-size birch tree pattern on pink wallpaper, patterned lime-green rug and green seat covers bring the area to life.
Transparent style
If your entryway is in a traffic pattern, arrange furniture accordingly. Here, a shallow arrangement of see-through console and acrylic chairs takes up little space. A frame filled with vintage vacation postcards and a collection of orange pottery personalize the space.
Vacation home vibe
A casual arrangement works in this entryway, where flip-flops and beachwear are the norm. Lightweight clothing and summer gear can be tossed on the bench. A wall of family photos-united with mostly black frames and white mats-combines with horizontal painted paneling for a relaxed backdrop.
Roomy comfort
Large entries should have sizable pieces of furniture and art that reflects the style of the home. This leather armchair offers a convenient place to change shoes or put on boots, while the red-painted chest of drawers holds gloves, hats and scarves.
Back-entry style
This informal back entrance, which leads inside from a garden, has the feel of an old European cottage. Unusual decorative touches, such as the wall-hung wooden rake, pitchfork and sifter, echo the rustic textures in the flagstone steps and wood beam.
Coordinating colors
When other rooms are visually connected to the foyer, it's important to coordinate color and style. Here, foyer accents reflect the colors of the room beyond. A child's photo was copied in gold and orange to match the scheme.
Snug sophistication
Even small spaces can have a stylish and functional entry. A nook behind the front door holds a console table with a double ledge for storing keys, cell phones, mail, magazines and newspapers. Two leather ottomans tuck easily underneath. For additional storage space, choose ottomans that open.
Outdoors-in style
This back entry gets a style boost from its outdoors-in decor. A dirt-friendly sisal carpet, painted Adirondack chair, wrought-iron side table, framed maps and sandy wall color add to the beachy outdoor feel.
Bold beginnings
Large, colorful, graphic art pieces and a big mirror enhance a relatively small foyer.
Modern minimalism
This foyer reflects the style of the rest of the contemporary home. A colorful unframed canvas, wall-hung cabinet and vase of flowers create a simple, uncluttered look.
Basic style
Most entries need only three elements: a mirror to visually expand the space (and check yourself on the way out); a table or chest for placing or storing items such as keys and mail; and seating. In this small foyer, the white table blends into the wall, and the stool can be pushed under to save space.
Eclectic mix
If your home is informal, the entry should be, too. In this foyer, an eclectic assortment of items creates a mix that's both charming and practical. A tray on the table organizes keys and cell phones, while the basket underneath holds scarves and gloves. Leaning the mirror and art on the table (instead of hanging them) simplifies changing out items.
Contemporary country
A wood sideboard, woven bench, black-framed mirror and simple row of topiaries reflect the contemporary country style of the adjoining room.
Drama in a small space
Small walls take on importance when painted a vibrant color. This entryway draws its colorful, artistic personality from a deep red wall, interesting art, a unique lamp and a blue garden stool.
Convertible foyer
This entryway can double as a library and work space. Built-in bookcases corral books and display collections. The drop-leaf table can become an impromptu desk when paired with a small chair (not seen). Sconces offer lighting for book searches.
Under the stairs
Tucked under the painted underside of a staircase, this foyer's decor highlights a unique sculpture and art, along with an attractive utilitarian basket for storage. A small-scale chair completes the vignette.
Tiny traditional
Even the smallest entry, such as in an apartment or townhome, can have an eye-catching display. An extra-large mirror visually expands this space, while a painted cabinet and patterned rug add interest.
All in one
Thoughtful selection and grouping of objects creates an identity for an entry that's part of an open living room. Wood floors and a rug define the traffic pattern. A narrow console table with metal legs echoes the curves in the front door and takes up little visual (or actual) space.
Built-in beauty
Built-ins work especially well in a tight space. Painted wall paneling, wall hooks and a built-in bench (with lift-up seat for storage) create a cozy and useful entry.
Antique focus
Here, a bright foyer highlights just three elements: a white-painted vintage console, an old window frame made into a mirror and an ironstone pot filled with fresh greens.
Fashionable nook
This entry, carved out of a small nook next to the stairs, features an armless slipper chair--a convenient seat that takes up less space than a regular armchair. Stacked pieces of art make a visual impact on a narrow strip of wall, while a garden urn filled with moss transitions the space from outside to in.
Collection chic
Small walls in foyers gain big impact from a grouped collection of items, such as vintage china. This display, with balanced space between the many items, feels airy and light, in keeping with the style of the table beneath it and the light-color room beyond.
Pretty pattern
Bold wallpaper brings big style to a simple painted chest and classic-shaped mirror. An attractive umbrella stand provides welcome convenience in any entry.
Casual country
Back entries, often the main entrance for family, can be both useful and appealing. This informal spot features a bench, coat hooks and a wall shelf with storage baskets. The tile floor handles any kind of weather that's tracked in.
Contemporary simplicity
A modern graphic black cabinet and centered lamp reflect the clean, contemporary ambience of the home.
Attention grabbers
A large mirror and two tall candlesticks are placed on the floor, grabbing guests' attention as soon as they walk in the door. The mirror expands and reflects the space's simple arrangement of eye-catching objects.
Wall magic
No room for a traditional foyer? Put a shelf on a wall. With a mirror and a few accessories, this entryway's ledge-supported by two antique brackets--makes a smart style statement.
Soft style
Gain storage space in an entryway by topping a console or sofa table with a stylish cloth. Tuck luggage, baskets, boxes, bins and other small pieces underneath. Another colorful touch in this foyer: the zebra-print stair runner.
Family photo foyer
Instead of highlighting one piece of art or a mirror, group family photos on the entry wall. Unite the display with similar color mats and frames or lean them on a long picture ledge.
Beaded board stairwell
Vertical and horizontal wood on the stairwell creates visual energy.
Smooth sophistication
This foyer takes its style inspiration from the modern stair railing. A black-and-white abstract painting and a tailored bench blend with this home's of clean lines and muted colors.
Floor patterns
If you have plain white or off-white walls, let the floor make a statement. A quilt-patterned rug and striped stair runner, both in blue and white, combine with wicker furniture to give this entry a bright country cottage vibe.

Escaping the clamour filling news headlines and social media lately, I stood alone in my living room this morning at eleven o'clock to observe two minute's silence.
With the television on, as Big Ben chimed, cameras caught moments throughout the UK of not only gatherings of military commemorations for Armistice Day, but of ordinary people, including school children, stopping to show their respects in remembrance and in silence.
One camera panned to Somerset artist Rob Heard's memorial Shrouds of the Somme on display at Bristol Cathedral. Each shroud carries the name of the 19,240 British soldiers who died on the first day of the Battle of the Somme in World War One. We remember the 19,240 'Tommies' who 'went over the top' and didn't return.
I remember men from both World Wars, like my husband's grandfather, Walter Rideout, who fought in the Battle of the Somme in 1914 and his father, Albert Matthews, a 'Desert Rat', who fought in El Alamein in 1942. Both survived and returned home and barely spoke a word about it.
But Albert's younger brother, Stanley George Matthews, did not survive, for he lies buried deep below the black, heavy waters off the coast of Greenland, brought down with HMS Hood, sunk on 24th May 1941 by the German battleship Bismarck. He was twenty-two years old.
I think of such men today and of walking around Green Park in London back in March when I stopped for another reason, fascinated by the way the late afternoon sun beamed flames of light upon the magnificent Bomber Command Memorial.
Designed by architect Liam O'Connor from Portland stone, bronze sculptures of a Bomber Command aircrew stand tall in the midst of the memorial. They represent the 55,573 British, Commonwealth and Allied Nations' Airmen who served in the RAF Bomber Command and lost their lives during the Second World War.
The memorial was dedicated by Queen Elizabeth II in 2012, the year of her Diamond Jubilee.
And in the words of Winston Churchill:
All these soldiers fought and died to give us the freedom we enjoy today, but I wonder what they would think of the way we treat that freedom now?
We honour them and their very great sacrifice with the deepest of gratitude. They died for our peace and safety, that we might live, and decently, when they could not, and we must not let them down. We must remember them.
Lest We Forget…
They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old;
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.
(From the poem The Fallen, Laurence Binyhn 1869-1943)

Excellent value but only above average vehicle.
By techeng on Tuesday, November 12, 2019I owned a 2019 Kicks for about four months after trading in a used SUV and going with something brand new. I bought it basically for the excellent value, for all the tech and features you get for the price and the unique exterior styling. But after a few weeks of owning it I found the interior left a lot to be desired. The Apple Car play and Android Auto were great features. The stereo sounded good but not great, only sounded great when used with the Sirius XM radio demo that you get for free for three months with buying the car. The AC/heat was not very precise, it either was too cool or a little too warm, we had to finagle with it by manually adjusting it every time to get comfortable, compared to our older SUV which provided us a constant stable temperature. The Kicks is considered a crossover but I found it more to be on the car side than the sport utility side. It was more like a raised car and reminded me of my old Kia Soul. I didn't have any of the problems other Kicks owners had such as having to replace the front sensor, or any of the struts due to noise. I took it on a long cross country trip and it did have excellent gas mileage, but the 10 gallon tank was too small for my taste, as I felt I had to fill it up quite often for an economy vehicle despite the great mileage, because of the small tank. The interior was nice but the seats were a little hard and started getting used to it the more we sat on them, but it really did feel more like a car than an SUV. I didn't like the simulated digital tachometer on the left side of the dashboard, I feel that tachometers should always be analog because of my old school preference with cars. There was really no center console and I didn't like that the cup holders being lined one after the other and too far back, as opposed to side-by-side for driver and passenger, and there were no rear cup holders except at the door. I did like the two USB ports in the back of the middle divider for the rear passengers, the large cargo room in the rear for a car its size, and overall interior room for a car its size. The oil and filter were real easy to change as well, don't even need to raise it with a jack to get to the drain plug and oil filter. But I tried to like the car, and I really did like it's stylish exterior, but the interior was not enough for me to want to keep it for the long term to continue making payments on it, so I traded it in for a Rogue Sport, which met more of my interior and comfort needs, and I felt I was actually in a SUV in the Rogue Sport as opposed to a raised car in a Kicks. In addition to the Kia Soul I mentioned earlier, the Kicks reminded me too much of a Nissan Versa Note with a facelift. But I would recommend the Kicks for the value and styling and great commuter car, and looking back would spend for the top of the line SR trim instead of the SV I had, but if you're going to spend that much for an SR and want a more refined vehicle, you might as well would move up to a Rogue Sport or above, unless you want to stay with the shape of the Kicks which had more of an edge, rather than the more subtle sophistication of a Rogue Sport. I don't really have complaints in the performance side of things as i don't expect much out of an engine in a vehicle in this class, I was mainly more focused on the exterior look, which was great, and interior feel, which was not as great, of the Kicks.

Overall great mini suv. For the low cost
By Mike on Sunday, August 04, 2019Great vehicle for its price it offers reasonable comfort and luxury feel and look. It has a light weight car feeling when driving but it feels well planted with plenty of grip when turning or breaking hard. Fairly cheap cost of maintenance $136 for synthetic oil change, tire rotation and refill of other fluids. Avg. mileage for mostly city driving 25-27 when I get long freeway driving it goes up to 41 mpg based on computer trip. Decent power for a 1.6l naturally aspirated engine, although uphills with five passengers and a/c running would be forcing it too much. Built quality structure wise is very simple, with proven reliable technology like rear drums brake and rear semi independent suspension. Huge cabin and cargo space for its relatively short wheel base. Great infotainment system with apple carplay and android auto. Sound system volume is clear and somewhat loud enough for stock. Plenty of cup holders 1 in each door and 3 in center console. 3 USB ports and cigarette lighter port. Huge sunvisor with plenty of option to modify to. Exterior Paint is very easy to dent, to scratch or to even make a deep scratch to where you can see the bare metal. Overall my wife and I we are very happy with our car. This is a car that if kept well it could easily make the 20 year mark. At a cheap cost in both short and long run.

Buy it you will love it.
By Peter on Tuesday, November 13, 2018Buy it you will love it. What can I say it's a great car, handles well, brakes well, loaded with safety features. The only thing I miss from my previous car is automatic day time running lights. I find no problem with the engine, seems peppy to me. It really feels great on the road and take the bumps around Tucson in a grand manner. Lots of head room, easy to enter and get out of. I wish I would have looked at Nissan years ago. I love this car.

The Situation of Kindness
Posted by The Situationist Staff on December 9, 2009
Yamin Anwar wrote an interesting press release about recent and ongoing research at University of California, Berkeley suggesting that the kindest, and not just the fittest, survive. Here are some excerpts.
* * *
Researchers at the University of California, Berkeley, are challenging long-held beliefs that human beings are wired to be selfish. In a wide range of studies, social scientists are amassing a growing body of evidence to show we are evolving to become more compassionate and collaborative in our quest to survive and thrive.
In contrast to "every man for himself" interpretations of Charles Darwin's theory of evolution by natural selection, Dacher Keltner, a UC Berkeley psychologist and author of "Born to be Good: The Science of a Meaningful Life," and his fellow social scientists are building the case that humans are successful as a species precisely because of our nurturing, altruistic and compassionate traits.
They call it "survival of the kindest."
"Because of our very vulnerable offspring, the fundamental task for human survival and gene replication is to take care of others," said Keltner, co-director of UC Berkeley's Greater Good Science Center. "Human beings have survived as a species because we have evolved the capacities to care for those in need and to cooperate. As Darwin long ago surmised, sympathy is our strongest instinct."
Empathy in our genes
Keltner's team is looking into how the human capacity to care and cooperate is wired into particular regions of the brain and nervous system. One recent study found compelling evidence that many of us are genetically predisposed to be empathetic.
The study, led by UC Berkeley graduate student Laura Saslow and Sarina Rodrigues of Oregon State University, found that people with a particular variation of the oxytocin gene receptor are more adept at reading the emotional state of others, and get less stressed out under tense circumstances.
Informally known as the "cuddle hormone," oxytocin is secreted into the bloodstream and the brain, where it promotes social interaction, nurturing and romantic love, among other functions.
"The tendency to be more empathetic may be influenced by a single gene," Rodrigues said.
The more you give, the more respect you get
While studies show that bonding and making social connections can make for a healthier, more meaningful life, the larger question some UC Berkeley researchers are asking is, "How do these traits ensure our survival and raise our status among our peers?"
One answer, according to UC Berkeley social psychologist and sociologist Robb Willer is that the more generous we are, the more respect and influence we wield. In one recent study, Willer and his team gave participants each a modest amount of cash and directed them to play games of varying complexity that would benefit the "public good." The results, published in the journal American Sociological Review, showed that participants who acted more generously received more gifts, respect and cooperation from their peers and wielded more influence over them.
"The findings suggest that anyone who acts only in his or her narrow self-interest will be shunned, disrespected, even hated," Willer said. "But those who behave generously with others are held in high esteem by their peers and thus rise in status."
"Given how much is to be gained through generosity, social scientists increasingly wonder less why people are ever generous and more why they are ever selfish," he added.
Cultivating the greater good
Such results validate the findings of such "positive psychology" pioneers as Martin Seligman, a professor at the University of Pennsylvania whose research in the early 1990s shifted away from mental illness and dysfunction, delving instead into the mysteries of human resilience and optimism.
While much of the positive psychology being studied around the nation is focused on personal fulfillment and happiness, UC Berkeley researchers have narrowed their investigation into how it contributes to the greater societal good.
* * *
The sympathetic touch
As for college-goers, UC Berkeley psychologist Rodolfo Mendoza-Denton has found that cross-racial and cross-ethnic friendships can improve the social and academic experience on campuses. In one set of findings, published in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, he found that the cortisol levels of both white and Latino students dropped as they got to know each over a series of one-on-one get-togethers. Cortisol is a hormone triggered by stress and anxiety.
Meanwhile, in their investigation of the neurobiological roots of positive emotions, Keltner and his team are zeroing in on the aforementioned oxytocin as well as the vagus nerve, a uniquely mammalian system that connects to all the body's organs and regulates heart rate and breathing.
Both the vagus nerve and oxytocin play a role in communicating and calming. In one UC Berkeley study, for example, two people separated by a barrier took turns trying to communicate emotions to one another by touching one other through a hole in the barrier. For the most part, participants were able to successfully communicate sympathy, love and gratitude and even assuage major anxiety.
Researchers were able to see from activity in the threat response region of the brain that many of the female participants grew anxious as they waited to be touched. However, as soon as they felt a sympathetic touch, the vagus nerve was activated and oxytocin was released, calming them immediately.
"Sympathy is indeed wired into our brains and bodies; and it spreads from one person to another through touch," Keltner said.
The same goes for smaller mammals. UC Berkeley psychologist Darlene Francis and Michael Meaney, a professor of biological psychiatry and neurology at McGill University, found that rat pups whose mothers licked, groomed and generally nurtured them showed reduced levels of stress hormones, including cortisol, and had generally more robust immune systems.
Overall, these and other findings at UC Berkeley challenge the assumption that nice guys finish last, and instead support the hypothesis that humans, if adequately nurtured and supported, tend to err on the side of compassion.
"This new science of altruism and the physiological underpinnings of compassion is finally catching up with Darwin's observations nearly 130 years ago, that sympathy is our strongest instinct," Keltner said.

Wow. This is a very interesting finding. It makes me think that there is good in all people. I think that this type of conclusion has always been at the back of my mind, yet there are people who are not properly nurtured and turn out to be very selfish.
December 9, 2009 at 3:25 pm
The little blurb about rat mothers' attention to their children impacting their stress hormones is actually one step further than explicitly mentioned here. The licking and nurturing actually affects the gene expression of the rat babies and becomes inheritable

Tagged with a second too late, act now, don´t procrastinate
About julienmateiI feel an inner urge to express what I see, to communicate and share with others all these impressions. Often the things I see are there, not yet manifest, but waiting... to be observed, talked about, and embraced.
These new insights need another approach, a more vivid curiosity...
Due to fear and prejudice we prefer to see only "the official" truth - but THE OFFICIAL TRUTH IS DEAD - being dead, it has nothing to give...
We can continue pretending Death is fascinating or... we can take the trouble to LIVE...
THE NEW has no definition yet...
Again, IT requires another "perception", the courage to apprehend everything differently, from a totally new angle, with new confidence and inquisitive touch. This blog is not about interesting concepts, it is about participation... finding new solutions, inspiration, togetherness.

Over the past 48 hours, Internet security forums have buzzed with news about a newly discovered technique that allows crackers to make an impressive 3 million guesses per second when trying to find the passcode that unlocks the contents of the widely used 1Password password manager.
The optimization, devised by the developer of the oclHashcat-plus password cracking tool, achieved guessing speeds that were, depending on whom you are asking, from two to four times faster than expected. Its discovery was surprising, mainly because it relies in part on a subtle design flaw that until now has been overlooked.
Cryptographers disagree about whether the weakness resides in the popular cryptographic hash function folded into 1Password or the specific implementation contained in 1Password. Either way, the designers of 1Password are smart people who do cryptography right, so the flaw has turned heads. And while even a four-fold reduction in the time it takes to exhaust a cracking attack isn't earth-shattering, it's still significant, considering how many people use 1Password to store the keys to their digital kingdoms.
I spent much of the past two days reading various blog posts and communicating with people from both Hashcat and AgileBits, the developer of 1Password. After weighing a variety of sometimes conflicting viewpoints, I don't think users of the password manager have much to worry about, so long as they're following the company's oft-repeated advice for generating strong master passwords. Still, this bug needs to be fixed in 1Password, and possibly in other unrelated products that may also be affected. More about that later; first, let's review what we know about the weakness.
One way. Go slow
As many Ars readers know, it's never safe to store sensitive passwords in cleartext, or even in an encrypted format that can be mathematically converted back into plaintext. Enter the one-way cryptographic hash, a way of converting passwords, documents, or computer files into (theoretically) unique strings of text. As the description suggests, one-way hashes can't be reversed, so the only way to crack them is to run guesses through the same hash algorithm used in the first place. When the cracking output matches the intercepted hash, you've guessed the password. Crackers engage in the activity for fun and profit all the time.
Like all savvy developers whose software works with passwords, the AgileBits team has taken precautions to lower crackers' success. Chief among those measures is the use of the PBKDF2 hash function. This function allows developers to pass plaintext through SHA1, MD5, or any number of other hash algorithms hundreds or even thousands of times. That drives up the computing requirements needed to throw billions of guesses at a targeted hash and can literally add years or decades to the time it takes to arrive at the correct candidate. Functions such as scrypt and bcrypt do much the same thing.
Depending on the platform used to generate keychains, current versions of 1Password will pass the plaintext of a master password through 10,000 to about 45,000 iterations involving a randomization process known as HMAC, AgileBits "Chief Defender Against the Dark Arts" Jeffrey Goldberg told me. (Devices with lower processing speeds perform fewer iterations to prevent 1Password from requiring unacceptable amounts of time to unlock a keychain.) In a forum post published Tuesday, Hashcat developer Jens "atom" Steube said he was able to cut the number of repetitions required to crack passwords by a factor of four, allowing his PC running two AMD HD6990 graphics cards to throw 3 million guesses per second at a 1Password master password with 1,000 iterations. Since the password manager has been updated to require a minimum of 10,000 iterations, as Goldberg told me, cracking efforts presumably would increase proportionately.
Steube's technique is able to reduce the number of required repetitions by targeting the way PBKDF2 running in 1Password interacts with SHA1. When a user unlocks a keychain, each iteration actually calls the hash algorithm twice, once to generate a 128-bit AES key and again to generate what's known as an initialization vector of the same bit length. (Because SHA1 generates hashes of 160 bits, 1Password taps it twice to generate two 128-bit outputs, discarding what's left over.) What has surprised people over the past two days is the revelation that once the 128-bit AES key is discovered, crackers know immediately that they have arrived at the correct password guess. The Hashcat optimization works by running guesses through only the part that involves the AES key, effectively cutting in half the number of SHA1 calls needed to crack a master password.
Public reaction to the new technique has understandably prompted some panicked comments, mostly on Twitter. Fortunately, a handful of cryptography experts have stepped in to provide a reality check.
"For the end users, it means that an attacker only needs to perform 50% of the SHA1 calls that the 1Password software needs (maybe only 25%, depending on how optimized the 1Password code is)," security consultant and software developer Adam Caudill wrote in a blog post published Tuesday. "When it comes to password cracking, that certainly seems less secure than what was intended. As flaws go, it could be far worse, but it's likely less secure than intended."
Thomas Ptacek, founder and principal at Matasano Security, is even more adamant that there's no meaningful security vulnerability. Yes, for legitimate users unlocking their 1Password keychain, each iteration calls the SHA1-version of HMAC twice, and this requirement doesn't extend to crackers who merely want to test whether a password guess is right. But it doesn't automatically follow that this arrangement is a defect, he argued.
"This is not a great design," he explained. "But it's bad in a way that wastes cycles for users. The fact that [1Password] does extra PBKDF2 work that doesn't bind on attackers [doesn't] make [1Password] meaningfully weaker than any other app that uses PBKDF2, because it was already weird that they were tapping PBKDF2 twice to begin with. A more idiomatic use of PBKDF2 in this situation would be to tap PBKDF2 once, and then expand it (say with SHA2) to 256 bits. That design, which is totally reasonable and would not be the subject of a news story, would be equivalently secure to the 'flawed' approach [1Password] took."
Not all cryptographers are as quick to dismiss the practical consequences, however.
"The analogy I'd give is: it's like buying a life insurance policy that suits your needs, then finding out you could have gotten a much more generous policy for the same premium," Matthew Green, a professor at Johns Hopkins University told me. "1Password is happy with the insurance they bought. At the same time, they—and their users—could be much better protected."
1Password's Goldberg blamed the odd behavior on a "subtle design flaw" that is triggered when a hash function is programmed to derive outputs that exceed what a single hash iteration is capable of producing. But he still isn't sure if the flaw resides only in 1Password or in the hashing function itself.
"This very well may be a newly discovered problem with PBKDF2," he said. "If it's designed to be able to give you more bits out than the hash you give it, it shouldn't be weakened by how you choose to use those bits."
Curiously, he said, 1Password appears to make only one call to SHA1 to generate the two 128-bit outputs, and it was only after Steube's post that he discovered the program somehow executes that request by making a second iteration. He has heard rumors that
scrypt may exhibit some similarly odd behavior, but he hasn't yet had time to investigate them. Ultimately, 1Password will have to make changes to counter the effects of the newly discovered optimization. One possibility is to replace SHA1 with SHA512 or another algorithm that generates larger outputs. Another possibility is for 1Password to do away with PBKDF2 altogether. And if it's true that PBKDF2 or other hash functions behave similarly, it may be time to tweak other applications or even rewrite entire encryption protocols.
"PBKDF2 is not serving its purpose as well as we would want," Goldberg wrote in blog post published Wednesday. "Now I love PBKDF2. It may not be engraved on my heart, but it is engraved on my iPad. But it has been growing clearer that the world needs a successor to PBKDF2."
While the new technique for cracking 1Password has knitted the brows of cryptographers and security experts, end users have little reason for concern, so long as they're picking truly strong master passwords to encrypt their keychains. Even when attacking an older version of 1Password that uses only 1,000 PBKDF2 iterations, Hashcat will require about 19 years to crack a randomly derived four-word passcode. Those times increase to 192 years and 482 years for 10,000 repetition and 45,000 repetitions respectively. Those times may not be as long as previously thought, but they should tide us over until cryptographers devise something better.

wild remedies
thanks again! i was just wondering how i was gonna do that!
Welcome to ZineWiki
Hey InvisibleFriend, thanks for all your hard work on editing and tagging and creating articles/categories. I was wondering if you wouldn't mind dropping me an email: alan-at-zinewiki-dot-com Alan Fall of Autumn 18:55, 23 January 2007 (EST)
You are totally rocking with the listings and clean up, thanks! dan10things 14:13, 2 March 2007 (EST)
Thanks again
Hey Invisible Friend, I just wanted to say "thanks" again for all the work you're doing here, especially the clean-up of new articles. I know it gets so tiring fixing the same issues with each new page... Alan Fall of Autumn 10:22, 26 May 2007 (EDT)
hey thanks for starting the Mujinga page, im planning to be adding stuff this week. i got some time and i got some internet access.
having an eponymous zine, i wasn't sure which way round to do the pages for myself as a zinester and the zine, but now i guess its solved - Mujinga and Mujinga (zinester).
Can you fix ZineWiki: Introduction so the page isn't redirecting to Milo's page the revert the edits? ThanksJerianne 13:25, 28 March 2009 (UTC)
seems like you do a lot round here, nice one, its a wonderful wiki to discover. Mujinga 08:54, 17 July 2007 (EDT)
Freesheet and general editing
Nice one Invisible friend Ill use that and nice one for the general editing too, --Eugenepunk 12:14, 18 July 2007 (EDT)
- hey Invisibe friend, keep up the good work in editing the pages I've been adding- I appreciate it! Some of the more recent ones I am not completely sure where theyre from as their authors seem to be nomadic zinesters! --Eugenepunk 17:44, 8 October 2007 (EDT)
- hey Invisible friend, I copied your reasons word for word for deleting a spam thing-although the ad.s werent specifically for cars so I shoulda just written deleted spam but as the general gist of it was a spam in chinese I used your exact words. --Eugenepunk 04:22, 22 February 2008 (EST)
- hey Invisible friend, great work with keeping the site up! --Eugenepunk 17:58, 4 October 2011 (UTC)
one small point
i see you write "The Netherlands" whereas i write "the Netherlands". the former seems a bit strange to me. judging from sites like Wikipedia and Overheid i think the latter is more common, so i think i will continue to put "the". cheers! Mujinga 06:28, 19 July 2007 (EDT)
- wow you already changed the category, that was fast, thanks! Mujinga 09:08, 20 July 2007 (EDT)
- Aren't they "The Nederlands" now? Gaijin 23:20, 31 December 2007 (GMT)
Thanks for cleaning up the new entries
I'm still learning how this works.

RE: Hakim Bey
I understand your concerns about the Hakim Bey article. While I find him repugnant, his writings have been widely circulated within the zine community (as well as in scholarly journals and textbooks!). I included links to some of his critics in order to make people aware of the controversy, his past associations, and his alleged behavior -which tends to be glossed-over by some of his adoring fans. I think it's important to include Hakim Bey in the history of zines for the same reason that a history of the Beat Generation needs to include information on Allen Ginsburg (another dirty old man).

Hows it going Invisible friend, about the resizing the only thing I could say is that I could resize them myself and then reupload them if you told me what images, but you'd have to delete the old bigger ones then. The reason I dont do that more often is that I can't delete the original big image from zinewiki so there would end up being two images - I could go and change the image on a respective zine page but the person who originally uploaded the image, having seen their big image still exists, may put the bigger image back on their respective zine pages, so I dont want to have to this type of messing! The thing is it seems that alot of images over the past months have been uploaded that are massive and that these haven't been resized since. If you'd like to sort this out as a collaboration I could resize them if you could delete the massive ones well just an idea anyway, --Eugenepunk 03:02, 11 September 2007 (EDT)
- I saw after I wrote to you some images that you uploaded so Ive just uploaded resized versions as 200pixels on the longest side,--Eugenepunk 03:22, 11 September 2007 (EDT)
- Invisible friend, Ive just uploaded loads more but made a few mistakes uploading one twice that was so small already i didnt change it. I think thats the main backlog sorted for now as I think Ive gone over images dating back to when Alan last deleted a load, but Ill look again, if I see images that need to be deleted as theyre doubles Ill flag them for you by writing in the talk pages,--Eugenepunk 05:29, 13 September 2007 (EDT)
- No bother about resizing them images but the thing is I no longer have the original big versions on my computer. I have made them ones bigger but I think there was a loss of resolution; which I tried to sort it out by making the writing darker and more pronounced so I've uploaded them anyway if you think there's a loss of clarity with the picture , if you could either re-upload the images on zinewiki and Ill reduce them or if youd like them resized bigger i can also do that, --Eugenepunk 04:17, 22 September 2007 (EDT)
- Ok so Ive reuploaded them-it only takes a second to resize them so its no trouble, but theyre fierce cool looking zine covers hope the size does them justice!Other thing I was thinking on working on was more definitions of different terms of zines - for example hardcore zines tend to have a specific layout/format almost professionalism whereas old school / first wave zines tend (tended) to be more cut n paste with references to cider and football!... but this all could be just my opinion or my point of view, talk again --Eugenepunk 06:45, 22 September 2007 (EDT)

Resizing program
Saw your usertalk to Alan. Are you in need of a photo program? There are quite a few freebies for resizing jpegs or I could hook you up with something if you are using a PC. dan10things 23:52, 11 September 2007 (EDT)
Editing The Original Universe article
I just read your request today and I'll rewrite it. No illustrations yet as they could violate IP rules. Jeffrey Allan Boman 15:01, 1 October 2007 (UTC)
Early Irish Fanzines
how are ya Invisible friend, you know the article Early Irish Fanzines thats from a thesis my brother did on Irish fanzines. Now I dont know if such academic writing is suitable for zinewiki but this thesis would be available to split up into separate articles about different aspects of zines - written academically. On the internet there are several such thesis available that I have got - I got ones on Dutch, French and Australian zines - if zinewiki wished to use such articles, after obtaining permission from authors, we could make more extensive but academic articles on zines on the site. Just a thought! --Eugenepunk 06:53, 3 October 2007 (EDT)
- Invisible friend, thanks for telling me about zinewiki reaching 2000 articles thats great stuff! I came across a list of Irish zines thats in a pdf on the internet that include zines I didn't know myself so I'm not able to write articles on them but was thinking of creating a page with Irish zines with no page yet. If I was still living in Ireland I could check them out myself.--Eugenepunk 10:25, 27 November 2007 (EST)
- I've made a page for these zines - Irish zines without a page - some of which I think would be easier to expand with more information available from the internet ie the zines from 2004 etc but some of these zines are from the early nineties and I don't know them that well, I thought it was better to make a page as I can't be definate about these dates and numbers of issues I think it's better to assemble them together and to indicate such uncertainty. It can act as a working page. --Eugenepunk 12:18, 30 November 2007 (EST)
Definitions and terms
Hello Invisible friend, Im still thinking about whether there is any use in relating terms like hardcore to zines by simply saying that hardcore zines document hardcore music and culture, and often share some asthetics due to similar hardcore bands and hardcore bands photos and hardcore show photos being shown in the zines.
- I was also wondering about the term 'personal as political' as a possible term to describe zines. I always thought of this term as describing a zine that uses personal anecdotes and stories to show the impact of politics on the zine writers (daily) life and/or using telling personal experiences of issues that are impacted directly by political decisions. but the term personal as political is said (after i did an internet search) to come from feminist theory and the term 'personal is political', so perhaps my own perception of it relating to zines is not that common at all.
- Also another term I was wondering about whether it would be useful to create (in order to document different production techniques of zines and give examples of zines that have utilised certain techniques) is "lino printing in zine production" - as many zines use this medium which is a diy basic accessible format for zines to bring colour to the photocopied pages, (also screenprinting for more advanced zines, also stencil painting on covers is another format). Anyway just some thoughts! --Eugenepunk 05:50, 17 October 2007 (EDT)
Proposed deletion
To InvisibleFriend, I am not sure whether you have come across People who should have died instead of Liza Phillips, but it would appear that this page does not relate to a zine, rather it appears to be a diatribe relating to the descriptive title. I am unsure how to go about proposing deletion - but I would be grateful for your advice.... Belcoboy 11:51, 15 November 2007 (EST)
New Administrators
FYI, Balecboy and Eugenepunk just got upgraded to administrators, which probably should have happened a few months ago. It should make deletions easier. dan10things 17:12, 11 December 2007 (EST)

It's only tonight I've discovered that the site is still here and still usable, thank goodness! I have no idea why this is happening, maybe Dan will know whats going on. Let's ask himInvisibleFriend 03:09, 2 March 2008 (EST)
- good to have you back! i must admit i was surprised not to see you on the recent changes for a few days ... yeah if you can contact dan thats a good idea, i emailed alan and kate but didnt yet get a response. and thanks for the added categories on the stuff i have been adding, its great someone has an overview to keep it all tidy. cheers!

hey there, umm i hope i'm writing this in the right spot, thanks for helping edit my recent contributions, i am not as slick with the code as i'm sure a lot of the folk here are. in regards to your concern with the entry e.war, the entry was written that way using plural so gender specific words didn't have to used, with out using those silly pro nouns. if you think of a better way to write it. i'm all ears.

Ace doubled zines
Just like the old Ace Double paperbacks of the 60s and early 70s, this is when you pub two fanzines backed-up in reverse to each other. On one side you have X-zine; flip it over, there's the other one. Japurcell 02:53, 31 March 2009 (UTC)
German zines

Thanks for helping me with the grammar and all that shit. In Germany are a lot of nice and interesting zines, boring as well... I try to add more and more and more....

Editing Zak Sally and La Mano 21 ?
I see you reverted my edit of deleting Sammy The Mouse from La Mano 21's publishing roster. Sammy The Mouse is published by Fantagraphics and not La Mano 21. I'm also curious as to why you deleted Like A Dog and the Fantagraphics external link from the Zak Sally page? I'm new here so maybe I'm missing something. Thanks, Newworsefamily.
Thanks for your thanks! But thank you more for editing/tidying up the entries I messed with! :D --Queen Ludd 22:17, 16 September 2010 (UTC)
Swallow Your Pride
Hey, do we know each other? I am Ananda La Vita. If you know me, or even if you don't, I'd like to hear from you directly... I'm just curious who you are and why you took out the cover of the 3rd issue of Swallow Your Pride. Your edit note says you replaced it with a more appropriate size, but it's not there at all anymore... Should I replace it? Thanks! alv09 (at) riseup (dot) net
intern & spam
Barnard University plans to let their summer intern contribute some content to zinewiki. Any particular areas you think she should focus on?
Also, re: all the spam lately. What do you think about implementing a captcha? Jerianne 00:44, 1 June 2011 (UTC)
Wandered across zinedistro.org and created article at Zine Distro. I noticed their latest tweet (in March) says "Does anyone want to take over the site?" so I thought I'd mention this to 3 people with zinewiki Bureaucrat status. --EarthFurst 18:06, 20 August 2011 (UTC)
Loads of Spam
I'm going to talk to Jerianne and see if we can figure out some way to block the recent influx of spam. It almost seems like they have a program that can set up an account automatically and post photos and articles. Lame. dan10things 22:00, 2 September 2011 (UTC)
- I was thinking it was computer generated as well. Also blocking one name doesn't seem to stop the next spammer from posting even though I suspect it is coming from the same ISP number and source. We need a program that will block not just the name, but the ISP number as well. InvisibleFriend 00:21, 3 September 2011 (UTC)
- We installed a captcha hoping to decrease or eliminate the spam, but obviously it hasn't worked. We're going to see if we can find a stronger captcha and explore other solutions. One idea would be to require admin approval for account creation. Do you think that would be a bigger burden than dealing with the spam? Jerianne 06:38, 6 December 2011 (UTC)
Hi Jerianne! I don't think anything would be a bigger burden than dealing with the spam. I have to delete it everyday, and usually twice a day. I am willing to try any solution.InvisibleFriend 06:41, 6 December 2011 (UTC)
Terry Jeeves
Hi Invisible Friend
At the end of August I created an entry for ERG and Terry Jeeves. I had only just found Zine wiki and went on Holiday on the 6th of September. I intended to expend the entries when I got back at the end of September.
I notice that you have done a good job expanding the entry on ERG but the Zinester page on Terry Jeeves appears to have vanished and I appear to be unable to edit the ERG page.
I like what you have done with the ERG page so far.
Please contact me as I wanted to work on the pages as I was a long time friend of Terry.
- Hi Thasaidon, Thank you for your message. I'm very glad you liked what I added to your page ERG, I was very happy to see that someone had started the article! You should be able to add to it, you just need to sign in. If you have any trouble, try creating a new name with a new password and then you'll be able to edit. I don't remember there being a zinester page for Terry Jeeves, but I think it would be wonderful if there was one, and you are just the person to do it. I have made his name a link, so just click on it and start. We are very happy to have your contributions! If you want to create articles on any other zine, just add the name, with [[ ]] surrounding it, to "Quick Links", which is in the left hand column of every page and you should be able to start. Don't hesitate to let me know if you have any other questions. It's great to see you here! InvisibleFriend 23:38, 18 September 2011 (UTC)
thanks for blocking Reverse101
Thanks for blocking spammer Reverse101. --EarthFurst 17:30, 30 November 2011 (UTC)
I think we got all the spam by Reverse101 (About 30minutes ago I reverted 2 spam edits by Reverse101). However now there is spam page by Darnell67SchneiderG and another spam page by WCorrina57Carr. --EarthFurst 12:04, 1 December 2011 (UTC)

messages and revisions to my entries
Thanks for your messages and for the stylistic revisions to my entries. I am reading the style manual now, which I should have done in the first place. I'm still working on that virtue of patience. It didn't look like you want private messages, so I'm posting this response here as appears to be the custom round these parts. I added the zine categories Hacker Zines and Tech Zines to the ZiP page which I don't believe existed previously; if that's a no-no I'll refrain in future, but they seemed like categories that should exist. Rest assured I will be back soon with articles and follow-ups on ZiP and our other projects-in-development. I plan to be around for a while. Glad to have found this marvelous repository of panzinetic excellence in cyberspace! There's no place like Wiki.

Zine template
Hi, I just stumbled upon this wiki and saw you in Special:RecentChanges. I am the owner of Libertapedia and am working on a prisoner outreach program that requires zine production. Do you know where I can get a zine template, preferably in an OpenOffice or MS Word format, or if necessary, a desktop publishing format? Obviously in a zine, the pages have to be set up differently than in other documents. E.g., on the first sheet, in landscape format, the left column or half is actually the back cover of the zine and the right half is the front cover. On the flip side of that sheet, the left half is page one, and the right half is the last page. And so on. How do I set this up elegantly in a word processing application? Thanks, Nathan Larson 23:25, 20 June 2012 (UTC)
- Hi Nathan Larson, I'm an admin here, but not the owner, and to be honest I know very little about computers so a lot of what you've written went right over my head I'm afraid!! Try posting to the Main Page Discussion page: http://zinewiki.com/Talk:Main_Page Perhaps someone with more knowledge of computer programs will be able to assist you. Good luck!InvisibleFriend 05:57, 21 June 2012 (UTC)
template thing
hi! i just made a template for incomplete sections or pages or whatever for use around the wiki, but i accidentally made it with the wrong page name somehow. i was wondering if you could do me a favour and delete Zinewiki/Template:Incomplete? thanks! and sorry! -Apollo 20:54, 25 June 2012 (UTC)
