A method and apparatus for initiating secure operations in a microprocessor system is described. In one embodiment, one initiating logical processor initiates the process by halting the execution of the other logical processors, and then loading initialization and secure virtual machine monitor software into memory. The initiating processor then loads the initialization software into secure memory for authentication and execution. The initialization software then authenticates and registers the secure virtual machine monitor software prior to secure system operations.
The present invention relates generally to microprocessor systems, and more specifically to microprocessor systems that may operate in a trusted or secured environment.BACKGROUND
The increasing number of financial and personal transactions being performed on local or remote microcomputers has given impetus for the establishment of "trusted" or "secured" microprocessor environments. The problem these environments try to solve is that of loss of privacy, or data being corrupted or abused. Users do not want their private data made public. They also do not want their data altered or used in inappropriate transactions. Examples of these include unintentional release of medical records or electronic theft of funds from an on-line bank or other depository. Similarly, content providers seek to protect digital content (for example, music, other audio, video, or other types of data in general) from being copied without authorization.
Existing trusted systems may utilize a complete closed set of trusted software. This method is relatively simple to implement, but has the disadvantage of not allowing the simultaneous use of common, commercially available operating system and application software. This disadvantage limits the acceptance of such a trusted system.
The present invention is illustrated by way of example, and not by way of limitation, in the figures of the accompanying drawings and in which like reference numerals refer to similar elements and in which:
The following description describes techniques for initiating a trusted or secured environment in a microprocessor system. In the following description, numerous specific details such as logic implementations, software module allocation, encryption techniques, bus signaling techniques, and details of operation are set forth in order to provide a more thorough understanding of the present invention. It will be appreciated, however, by one skilled in the art that the invention may be practiced without such specific details. In other instances, control structures, gate level circuits and full software instruction sequences have not been shown in detail in order not to obscure the invention. Those of ordinary skill in the art, with the included descriptions, will be able to implement appropriate functionality without undue experimentation. The invention is disclosed in the form of a microprocessor system. However, the invention may be practiced in other forms of processor such as a digital signal processor, a minicomputer, or a mainframe computer.

Processors 202, 212, 222 may contain certain special circuits or logic elements to support secure or trusted operations. For example, processor 202 may contain secure enter (SENTER) logic 204 to support the execution of special SENTER instructions that may initiate trusted operations. Processor 202 may also contain bus message logic 206 to support special bus messages on system bus 230 in support of special SENTER operations. In alternate embodiments, memory control functions of chipset 240 may be allocated to circuits within the processors, and for multiple processors may be included on a single die. In these embodiments, special bus messages may also be sent on busses internal to the processors. The use of special bus messages may increase the security or trustability of the system for several reasons. Circuit elements such as processors 202, 212, and 222 or chipset 240 may only issue or respond to such messages if they contain the appropriate logic elements of embodiments of the present disclosure. Therefore successful exchange of the special bus messages may help ensure proper system configuration. Special bus messages may also permit activities that should normally be prohibited, such as resetting a platform configuration register 278. The ability of potentially hostile untrusted code to spy on certain bus transactions may be curtailed by allowing special bus messages to be issued only in response to special security instructions.
Additionally, processor 202 may contain secure memory 208 to support secure initialization operations. In one embodiment secure memory 208 may be an internal cache of processor 202, perhaps operating in a special mode. In alternate embodiments secure memory 208 may be special memory. Other processors such as processor 212 and processor 222 may also include SENTER logic 214, 224, bus message logic 216, 226, and secure memory 218, 228.
A "chipset" may be defined as a group of circuits and logic that support memory and input/output (I/O) operations for a connected processor or processors. Individual elements of a chipset may be grouped together on a single chip, a pair of chips, or dispersed among multiple chips, including processors. In the
Chipset 240 may additionally include its own bus message logic 242 to support special bus messages on system bus 230 in support of special SENTER operations. Some of these special bus messages may include transferring the contents of a key register 244 to a processor 202, 212, or 222, or permitting a special ALL_JOINED flag 274 to be examined by a processor 202, 212, or 222. Additional features of the bus message logic 242 may be to register bus activity by processors in an "EXISTS" register 272 and store certain special bus message activity by processors in a "JOINS" register 272. Equality of contents of EXISTS register 272 and JOINS register 272 may be used to set the special ALL_JOINED flag 274 to indicate all processors in the system are participating in the secure enter process.
Chipset 240 may support standard I/O operations on I/O busses such as peripheral component interconnect (PCI), accelerated graphics port (AGP), universal serial bus (USB), low pin count (LPC) bus, or any other kind of I/O bus (not shown). An interface 290 may be used to connect chipset 240 with token 276, containing one or more platform configuration registers (PCR) 278, 279. In one embodiment, interface 290 may be the LPC bus (Low Pin Count (LPC) Interface Specification, Intel Corporation, rev. 1.0, 29 Dec. 1997) modified with the addition of certain security enhancements. One example of such a security enhancement would be a locality confirming message, utilizing a previously-reserved message header and address information targeting a platform configuration register (PCR) 278 within token 276. In one embodiment, token 276 may contain special security features, and in one embodiment may include the trusted platform module (TPM) 281 disclosed in the Trusted Computing Platform Alliance (TCPA) Main Specification, version 1.1a, 1 Dec. 2001, issued by the TCPA (available at the time of filing of the present application at www.trustedpc.com).
Two software components identified in system environment 200 are a Secure Virtual Machine Monitor (SVMM) 282 module and a Secure Initialization Authenticated Code (SINIT-AC) 280 module. The SVMM 282 module may be stored on a system disk or other mass storage, and moved or copied to other locations as necessary. In one embodiment, prior to beginning the secure launch process SVMM 282 may be moved or copied to one or more memory pages 250 through 262. Following the secure enter process, a virtual machine environment may be created in which the SVMM 282 may operate as the most privileged code within the system, and may be used to permit or deny direct access to certain system resources by the operating system or applications within the created virtual machines.
Some of the actions required by the secure enter process may be beyond the scope of simple hardware implementations, and may instead advantageously use a software module whose execution can be implicitly trusted. In one embodiment, these actions may be performed by Secure Initialization (SINIT) code. Three exemplary actions are identified here, but these actions should not be taken to be limiting. One action may require that various controls representing critical portions of the system configuration be tested to ensure that the configuration supports the correct instantiation of the secure environment. In one embodiment, one required test may be that the memory controller configuration provided by chipset 240 does not permit two or more different system bus addresses to touch the same location within memory pages 250 through 262. A second action may be to configure the device-access page table 248 and device-access logic 247 to protect those memory pages used by the memory-resident copy of SVMM 282 from interference by non-processor devices. A third action may be to calculate and register the SVMM 282 module's identity and transfer system control to it. Here "register" means placing a trust measurement of SVMM 282 into a register, for example into PCR 278 or into PCR 279. When this last action is taken, the trustworthiness of the SVMM 282 may be inspected by a potential system user.
The SINIT code may be produced by the manufacturer of the processors or of the chipsets. For this reason, the SINIT code may be trusted to aid in the secure launch of chipset 240. In order to distribute the SINIT code, in one embodiment a well-known cryptographic hash is made of the entire SINIT code, producing a value known as a "digest". One embodiment produces a 160-bit value for the digest. The digest may then be encrypted by a private key, held in one embodiment by the manufacturer of the processor, to form a digital signature. When the SINIT code is bundled with the corresponding digital signature, the combination may be referred to as SINIT authenticated code (SINIT-AC) 280. Copies of the SINIT-AC 280 may be later validated as discussed below.
The SINIT-AC 280 may be stored on system disk or other mass storage or in a fixed media, and moved or copied to other locations as necessary. In one embodiment, prior to beginning the secure launch process SINIT-AC 280 may be moved or copied into memory pages 250-262 to form a memory-resident copy of SINIT-AC.
Any logical processor may initiate the secure launch process, and may then be referred to as the initiating logical processor (ILP). In the present example processor 202 becomes the ILP, although any of the processors on system bus 230 could become the ILP. Neither memory-resident copy of SINIT-AC 280 nor memory-resident copy of SVMM 282 may be considered trustworthy at this time since, among other reasons, the other processors or the DMA devices may overwrite memory pages 250-262.
The ILP (processor 202) then executes a special instruction. This special instruction may be referred to as a secured enter (SENTER) instruction, and may be supported by SENTER logic 204. Execution of the SENTER instruction may cause the ILP (processor 202) to issue special bus messages on system bus 230, and then wait considerable time intervals for subsequent system actions. After execution of SENTER begins, one of these special bus messages, SENTER BUS MESSAGE, is broadcast on system bus 230. Those logical processors other than the ILP, which may be referred to as responding logical processors (RLPs), respond to the SENTER BUS MESSAGE with an internal non-maskable event. In the present example, the RLPs include processor 212 and processor 222. The RLPs must each terminate current operations, send a RLP acknowledge (ACK) special bus message on system bus 230, and then enter a wait state. It should be noted that the ILP also sends its own ACK message over system bus 230.
The chipset 240 may contain a pair of registers, "EXISTS" register 270 and "JOINS" register 272. These registers may be used to verify that the ILP and all of the RLPs are responding properly to the SENTER BUS MESSAGE. In one embodiment, chipset 240 may keep track of all operational logical processors in the system by writing a "1" into the corresponding bit of the EXISTS register 270 on any system bus transaction made by that logical processor. In this embodiment, each transaction on system bus 230 must contain an identification field containing the logical processor identifier. In one embodiment, this consists of a physical processor identifier and an indentifier for the hardware execution thread within each physical processor. For example, if a thread executing on processor 222 caused any bus transactions on system bus 230, chipset 240 would see this logical processor identifier within the transaction and write a "1" into the corresponding location 286 within EXISTS register 270. During the secure launch process, when that same thread on processor 222 sends its ACK message on system bus 230, the chipset 240 would also see this and could write a "1" into the corresponding location 288 in the JOINS register 272. (In the
In another embodiment, EXISTS register 270 and JOINS register 272 may continue to aid security subsequent to the setting of the ALL_JOINED flag 246. During the time subsequent to the setting of the ALL_JOINED flag 246 until the end of trusted or secure operations, chipset 240 may continue to monitor and compare bus cycles_against the JOINS register 272. During this period, if chipset 240 ever sees a bus transaction from a logical processor that is not currently identified in JOINS register 272, then chipset 240 may presume that this logical processor has somehow "appeared" late. This would imply that such a logical processor did not participate in the secure launch process, and therefore could represent an attacker (security threat). In such circumstances, chipset 240 may respond appropriately to keep this attacker out of the secured environment. In one embodiment, chipset 240 may force a system reset in such circumstances. In a second embodiment, similar detection of a "late" processor may be achieved by each logical processor asserting a special reserved signal on the system bus on every transaction following the assertion of the ACK bus message. In this embodiment, following the setting of the ALL_JOINED flag 246 if the chipset 240 observes a bus transaction initiated by a processor without the special signal asserted, then chipset 240 may again presume that this logical processor has somehow appeared "late", and may represent an attacker.
After issuing the SENTER BUS MESSAGE, the ILP (processor 202) polls the ALL_JOINED flag 246 to see when and if all processors have properly responded with their ACKs. If the flag 246 is never set, several implementations are possible. A watchdog timer in the ILP or chipset or elsewhere may cause a system reset. Alternatively, the system may hang requiring operator reset. In either case the assertion of a secure environment is protected (in that the secure launch process does not complete unless all processors participate), although the system may not continue to function. In normal operations, after a short time the ALL_JOINED flag 246 is set, and the ILP may be assured that all other logical processors have entered a wait state.
When the ALL_JOINED flag 246 is set, the ILP (processor 202) may move both a copy of SINIT-AC 280 and key 284 into secure memory 208 for the purpose of authenticating and subsequently executing the SINIT code included in SINIT-AC 280. In one embodiment, this secure memory 208 may be an internal cache of the ILP (processor 202), perhaps operating in a special mode. Key 284 represents the public key corresponding to the private key used to encrypt the digital signature included in the SINIT-AC 280 module, and is used to verify the digital signature and thereby authenticate the SINIT code. In one embodiment, key 284 may already be stored in the processor, perhaps as part of the SENTER logic 204. In another embodiment, key 284 may be stored in a read-only key register 244 of chipset 240, which is read by the ILP. In yet another embodiment, either the processor or the chipset's key register 244 may actually hold a cryptographic digest of key 284, where key 284 itself is included in the SINIT-AC 280 module. In this last embodiment, the ILP reads the digest from key register 244, calculates an equivalent cryptographic hash over the key 284 embedded in SINIT-AC 280, and compares the two digests to ensure the supplied key 284 is indeed trusted.
A copy of SINIT-AC and a copy of a public key may then exist within secure memory 208. The ILP may now validate the copy of SINIT-AC by decrypting the digital signature included in the copy of the SINIT-AC using the copy of a public key. This decryption produces an original copy of a cryptographic hash's digest. If a newly-calculated digest matches this original digest then the copy of SINIT-AC and its included SINIT code may be considered trustable.
The ILP may now issue another special bus message, SENTER CONTINUE MESSAGE, via system bus 230 signaling the waiting RLP's (processor 212, processor 222) and chipset 240 that secured operations are going to be initiated. The ILP may now register the unique identity of the SINIT-AC module by writing the SINIT-AC module's cryptographic digest value to a platform configuration register 272 in the security token 276, as outlined below. The ILP's execution of its SENTER instruction may now terminate by transferring execution control to the trusted copy of the SINIT code held within the ILP's secure memory 208. The trusted SINIT code may then perform its system test and configuration actions and may register the memory-resident copy of SVMM, in accordance with the definition of "register" above.
Registration of the memory-resident copy of SVMM may be performed in several manners. In one embodiment, the SENTER instruction running on the ILP writes the calculated digest of SINIT-AC into PCR 278 within the security token 276. Subsequently, the trusted SINIT code may write the calculated digest of the memory-resident SVMM to the same PCR 278 or another PCR 279 within the security token 276. If the SVMM digest is written to the same PCR 278, the security token 276 hashes the original contents (SINIT digest) with the new value (SVMM digest) and writes the result back into the PCR 278. In embodiments where the first (initializing) write to PCR 278 is limited to the SENTER instruction, the resulting digest may be used as a root of trust for the system.
Once the trusted SINIT code has completed its execution, and has registered the identity of the SVMM in a PCR, the SINIT code may transfer ILP execution control to the SVMM. In a typical embodiment, the first SVMM instructions executed by the ILP may represent a self-initialization routine for the SVMM. The ILP may in one embodiment issue individual RLP JOIN MESSAGE special bus messages to each RLP, causing each of the RLPs to join in operations under the supervision of the now-executing copy of SVMM. From this point onwards, the overall system is operating in trusted mode as outlined in the discussion of

SVMM 350 also selectively permits or prevents direct access to hardware resources 380 from one or more trusted or secure kernels 360 and one or more trusted applications 370. Such a trusted or secure kernel 360 and trusted applications 370 may be limited in size and functionality to aid in the ability to perform trust analysis upon it. The trusted application 370 may be any software code, program, routine, or set of routines which is executable in a secure environment. Thus, the trusted application 370 may be a variety of applications, or code sequences, or may be a relatively small application such as a Java applet.
Instructions or operations normally performed by operating system 340 or kernel 360 that could alter system resource protections or privileges may be trapped by SVMM 350, and selectively permitted, partially permitted, or rejected. As an example, in a typical embodiment, instructions that change the processor's page table that would normally be performed by operating system 340 or kernel 360 would instead be trapped by SVMM 350, which would ensure that the request was not attempting to change page privileges outside the domain of its virtual machine.

In one embodiment, chipset 430 interfaces with a modified LPC bus 450. Modified LPC bus 450 may be used to connect chipset 430 with a security token 454. Token 454 may in one embodiment include the TPM 471 envisioned by the Trusted Computing Platform Alliance (TCPA).

In one embodiment, chipset 428 is responsible for maintaining consistency and coherency across system bus A 402 and system bus B 404. If a bus message, standard or special, is sent across system bus A 402, chipset 428 reflects that message (when appropriate) onto system bus B 404, and vice-versa.
In an alternate embodiment, chipset 428 treats system bus A 402 and system bus B 404 as independent subsystems. Any special bus messages issued on system bus A 402 apply only to processors on that bus: similarly, special bus messages issued on system bus B 404 apply only to processors on that bus. Any protected memory that is established with respect to system bus A 402 is only accessible to processors connected to system bus A 402, and the processors on system bus B 404 may be treated as untrusted devices. To gain access to any protected memory established for CPU A 410 and CPU B 414 on system bus A 402, processors CPU C 418 and CPU D 422 on system bus B 404 must perform their own SENTER process, creating a registered environment equal to that created for the processors on system bus A 402.

Each processor may make indirect accesses to memory connected to other processors: however, these accesses may be considerably slower when compared to accesses to a processor's own memory. Prior to the start of the SENTER process, software may move copies of SINIT-AC 566 and SVMM 574 from fixed media 544 into local memory 504, forming copy of SINIT-AC 556 and copy of SVMM 572. In one embodiment, the memory 504 may be selected because it is directly accessed by the processor intended to be the ILP, in the

Each RLP, such as processor 222, respond to the SENTER BUS MESSAGE 616 by completing the current instruction during time 620. The RLP then issues its SENTER ACK 622 and then enters a state 634 where it waits for an SENTER CONTINUE MESSAGE.
The chipset 240 spends time 624 setting the JOINS register 272 responsive to the SENTER ACK messages observed on system bus 230. When the JOINS register 272 contents matches the EXISTS register 270 contents, chipset 240 sets the ALL_JOINED flag 246 at time 626.
During this time, the ILP may remain in a loop while polling the ALL_JOINED flag 246. When the ALL_JOINED flag 246 is set, and ILP determines that the ALL_JOINED flag 246 is set at time 630, the ILP may then issue the SENTER CONTINUE MESSAGE during time 632. When the SENTER CONTINUE MESSAGE is broadcast on system bus 230 at time 636, the RLPs may enter a wait-for-join state. For example, the RLP of processor 222 enters a wait-for-join state during time period 638.
Upon issuing the SENTER CONTINUE MESSAGE, the ILP may then (in time period 640) bring the public key of key register 244 of chipset 240 and a copy of SINIT-AC into its secure memory 208 to form a copy of the key and a copy of SINIT-AC. In another embodiment, key register 244 may contain a digest of the public key, and the actual public key may be included in, or with, the SINIT-AC. Upon authenticating the copy of SINIT-AC as described above in connection with
After the copy of SINIT-AC within secure memory 208 begins execution, it then (during time period 640) validates and registers the memory-resident copy of SVMM. After the copy of SVMM is registered in the PCR 278 of security token 276, the memory-resident copy of SVMM itself begins execution. At this time, during ongoing time period 650, SVMM operations are established in the ILP.
Among the first things that the ILP SVMM operation does is issue individual RLP JOIN MESSAGES on the system bus 230. An example is a processor 222 JOIN MESSAGE 644. This message may include a location in memory at which the RLP processor 222 may join in execution of the registered memory-resident copy of SVMM. Alternatively, the ILP SVMM operations may have registered a memory location in a predetermined location in the chipset or memory, and upon receiving the JOIN MESSAGE the RLP retrieves its starting address from this location. After receiving the processor 222 JOIN MESSAGE, and determining its starting address, during time period 646 the RLP processor 222 jumps to this location and joins execution of the registered memory-resident copy of the SVMM.
After all the RLPs have joined the registered memory-resident copy of the SVMM, secured operations are established throughout the microcomputer system 200.

The process 700 begins at block 710 when a logical processor makes a copy of the SINIT-AC and SVMM modules available for access by a subsequent SENTER instruction. In this example, in block 712 the ILP loads the SINIT-AC and SVMM code from mass storage into physical memory. In alternative embodiments, any logical processor may do so, not just the ILP. A processor becomes the ILP by executing the SENTER instruction, as identified in block 714. In block 716, the ILP SENTER instruction issues an SENTER BUS MESSAGE in block 716. The ILP then, in block 718, issues its own SENTER ACK message to the chipset. The ILP then enters a wait state, shown as decision block 720, and waits for the chipset to set its ALL_JOINED flag.
After each RLP receives the SENTER BUS MESSAGE in block 770, it halts execution with the end of the current instruction, and then in block 772 issues its own SENTER ACK. Each RLP then enters a wait state, shown as decision block 774, and waits for a SENTER CONTINUE MESSAGE to arrive from the ILP.
The chipset sets the corresponding bits in the JOINS register when SENTER ACK messages are received. When the JOINS register contents equals the EXISTS register contents, the chipset sets its ALL_JOINED flag, signaling the ILP to proceed from decision block 720.
The ILP, upon exiting decision block 720 on the YES path, then issues a SENTER CONTINUE MESSAGE in block 722. This signals each RLP to proceed from decision block 774. Each RLP then enters a second wait state, shown as decision block 776, and waits for a SENTER JOIN MESSAGE.
Meanwhile the ILP, in block 724, moves the public key of the chipset and the memory-resident copy of SINIT-AC into its own secure memory for secure execution. The ILP, in block 726, uses the key to validate the secure-memory-resident copy of SINIT-AC, and then executes it. The execution of SINIT-AC may perform tests of the system configuration and the SVMM copy, then registers the SVMM identity, and finally begins the execution of SVMM in block 728. As part of actions performed in block 728, the ILP SINIT code may configure device-access page table 248 and device-access logic 247 of memory and chipset to protect those memory pages used by the memory-resident copy of SVMM 282 from interference by non-processor devices, as shown in block 754.
After the ILP begins execution under the control of SVMM, in block 730 the ILP sends an individual SENTER JOIN MESSAGE to each RLP. After issuing the SENTER JOIN MESSAGE, the ILP then in block 732 begins SVMM operations.
The receipt of the SENTER JOIN MESSAGE causes each RLP to leave the wait state represented by decision block 776 along the YES path, and begin SVMM operations in block 780. The SENTER JOIN MESSAGE may contain the SVMM entry point the RLP branch to when joining SVMM operations. Alternatively, the ILP SVMM code may register the appropriate RLP entry point in a system location (for example, in the chipset), to be retrieved by the RLP upon receipt of the SENTER JOIN MESSAGE.
While various embodiments disclosed include two or more processors (either logical or physical processors), it should be understood that such multi-processor and/or multi-threaded systems are described in more detail to explain the added complexity associated with securing a system with multiple logical or physical processors. An embodiment also likely to be advantageous in less complex system may use only one processor. In some cases, the one physical processor may be multi-threading and therefore may include multiple logical processors (and accordingly have an ILP and an RLP as described). In other cases, however, a single-processor, single-threaded system may be used, and still utilize disclosed secure processing techniques. In such cases, there may be no RLP; however, the secure processing techniques still operate to reduce the likelihood that data can be stolen or manipulated in an unauthorized manner.
In the foregoing specification, the invention has been described with reference to specific exemplary embodiments thereof. It will, however, be evident that various modifications and changes may be made thereto without departing from the broader spirit and scope of the invention as set forth in the appended claims.

"Fool For You" By Joe Falduto Is Bound To Make Waves On Spotify
Joe Falduto is a 27-year-old music producer from Chicago. Sooner or later, his attention-grabbing single "Fool For You" is about to reach 10K streams on Spotify. I think many agree this sound has the potential to become a Deep House hit. Moreover, Summer Haze really elevates the song substantially with her sultry vocals. This is why I can feel the sincerity and the emotions behind the crude lyrics. Besides the driving basslines, there are rich piano chords throughout the whole sonic gem. Joe is highly influenced by Kaskade's Redux project, therefore, he takes listeners to the heart of classical-inspired dance cuts. With such a good balance between chill and melodic rhythms, "Fool For You" is also the perfect addition to sunrise sets everywhere. Check this out.

"Every now and then, you know it. And when I was working on this track, I knew it too. Only one voice could complete the song, and it was Winona Oak's. She has the voice you recognize immediately. I love the result we achieved with 'Thinking About You,' and I hope you do too." – R3HAB
"'Thinking About You' is all about feeling yourself and the sparkling chemistry between two people. I had a lot of fun making this one together with R3HAB and love how it makes you wanna dance, but still has that melancholic vibe to it." – Winona Oak
Over the last eight years, the Dutch/Moroccan artist Fadil El Ghoul – better known as R3HAB – has established himself as a leader at the forefront of modern electronic music. His talent has been called the "future of the craft" by the likes of Forbes and Billboard, and he's circuited the globe's best clubs and festivals, all without the backing of a formal record label. In 2017, R3HAB independently released his debut album "Trouble" through his imprint CYB3RPVNK, which amassed over a half-billion streams globally and officially placed R3HAB among electronic music's heavy hitters. He made number 14 on DJ Mag's Top 100 list in 2019, topping the charts with tracks like "Lullaby" and "Hold On Tight," while his sophomore album "The Wave," revealing more complex, emotional and experimental layers of himself, has amassed over 250 million streams on Spotify alone. In 2019 R3HAB's "All Around The World" with A Touch of Class quickly became his biggest ever record already topping 200M streams across platforms and achieving gold & platinum status in 8 countries. It was followed by "Flames," R3HAB's collaboration with ZAYN.

Politico claims he was joking but I'm not sure why. This guy's only saying what the entire Republican leadership thinks.
Maybe the "joke" is that he's pretending to care about the political implications of amnesty and the fate of the GOP when all he really wants is cheap labor.
"If the Republicans don't do it, they shouldn't bother to run a candidate in 2016," Donohue joked at an event on infrastructure investment in D.C. "Think about that. Think about who the voters are. I just did that to get everybody's attention."…
"You think Congress can get immigration reform done this year, in an election year?" moderator Eamon Javers asked Donohue.
"Yes, yes," Donohue replied.
National Association of Manufacturers President Jay Timmons said he also thought immigration reform could pass this year, perhaps in a lame-duck session.
I've been thinking they wouldn't dare try something as sneaky as passing immigration reform during the lame-duck, but realistically there are only three "windows" left before the 2016 election. One is this summer, if Boehner decides (stupidly) that he can't afford to let Obama out-pander the GOP on immigration yet again by "relaxing" U.S. deportation policy before the midterms. I think passing something this year is less likely than it used to be, though, now that ObamaCare isn't quite the catastrophe for Dems that it looked to be back in October. If Boehner's going to risk amnesty, he wants the party to be in a position of absolute strength so that even a small fall-off in turnout doesn't cripple it on election day. Right now the party seems a bit weaker than it was a few months ago. That fall-off could cost the GOP a race or two if current conditions hold.
The second window is early next year after the new Congress is seated. Boehner might decide to start the session off with a big "achievement" on immigration, to get it done and get it out of the way knowing that grassroots righties will revolt short-term but that most will forgive and forget in the interest of beating Hillary once it's time to vote in 2016. The window here is small, though — just a few months before Republican presidential candidates start declaring and the primary campaign begins, as GOP contenders won't want to deal with the issue on the trail. Doing it next year also gives ammo to amnesty opponents to argue that the issue is simply too hot to touch in a presidential election cycle and will tear the party apart if it happens. And by 2015, Obama's saber-rattling about granting an executive mass amnesty will be louder than ever. If the GOP's serious about not trusting him to enforce the law, those threats will only hurt the cause in the House.
Which leaves us with the third window, the lame duck. There'll be no worries then about Republicans staying home in the midterms to protest the new amnesty law, as there would be if Boehner passed something this summer, and having it done before the new Congress is seated would give GOP leaders a chance to start fresh in January with a new agenda to help conservatives move on. Just one problem: If Boehner's serious about coming back as Speaker next year, the lame-duck would be the worst possible time to pass something. It'll look cowardly to amnesty opponents since the lame-duck is a moment of minimal congressional accountability and it'll be fresh in everyone's minds when the vote for the new Speaker happens in January, galvanizing anti-Boehner forces. He's probably done as Speaker if he decides to go ahead with this in November. Is he prepared to make that sacrifice?
Exit quotation from the man himself: "We've got a lot of good candidates out there, and yes, Jeb Bush is my friend, I think he's make a great president. And I've been nudging him for some time."

HUNTINGTON - West Virginia used federal stimulus funds to run 425 feet of fiber-optic cable to a building in downtown Huntington that's now empty.
The state spent $22,600 for a high-end Internet router and $14,800 to bring a high-speed fiber connection to the Huntington-based Region 2 Planning and Development Council. The regional economic development agency leased office space at the now-vacant property last year, but moved to a new location in February.
The fiber connection now belongs to the building's new owner - a prestigious Huntington law firm.
The Region 2 Planning Council's new headquarters doesn't have a high-speed fiber connection. The Internet router remains in storage.
"We're not sure what to do," said Jody Sigmon, an associate planner with Region 2's sister agency, the KYOVA Interstate Planning Commission. "We're in the dark. We're all in the dark."
In 2010, West Virginia received a $126.3 million federal stimulus grant to bring high-speed fiber to 1,064 "community anchor institutions" - schools, libraries, 911 centers, county courthouses, state police detachments, health clinics and a host of other public agencies, including regional planning councils. As part of the grant, each site receives a $22,600 Cisco 3945 series router and fiber optic connection.
The "enterprise-class" routers were designed to serve research universities, medical centers and large corporations, but the state is installing the pricey devices at smaller facilities, such as the Region 2 Planning Council, which serves Mason, Cabell, Logan, Mingo, Wayne and Lincoln counties. The Huntington-based agency has six employees and receives state, federal and local funding.
For years, the Region 2 Planning and Development Council leased space at 720 Fourth Ave. - a prime location directly across from the Cabell County Courthouse in downtown Huntington.
But the Council wanted to stop paying rent and buy its own building. Last fall, agency officials started inquiring about office properties, including the possibility of purchasing the 720 Fourth Ave. building.
On Oct. 6, 2011, Frontier's chief engineer and West Virginia's federal "grant implementation team" signed off on the project to bring fiber and a router to Region 2's office.
Soon after, engineers and contractors started showing up.
"We told the engineers. We said we don't know if we're going to move or stay," Sigmon recalled.
Nonetheless, the state pushed ahead and finished the fiber installation on Oct. 31, records show. The fiber construction and installation cost $14,844. A $22,600 router was delivered to the agency in December.
Two months later, the Region 2 Council purchased a new building - at 204 Fourth St. in Huntington - and moved there. Agency employees took the router with them.
Last week, Sigmon had trouble finding the boxed-up router. He searched several employee offices. He eventually found the router stuffed in the bottom of a closet.
The outside of the box was marked "$30K."
Sigmon struggled to drag and lift the heavy box. He opened it. The router was still in its original packaging.
Sigmon declined to answer questions about the router's future and whether Region 2 administrators told state officials or Frontier about the pending move last fall. He referred those questions to his boss, Michelle Craig, the Region 2 Planning Council's executive director. Craig did not respond to three phone messages and an email.
Frontier spokesman Dan Page said the company wasn't aware of the Huntington-based agency's moving plans last October. Frontier follows directives from the state's grant implementation team, Page said.
"I'm not aware of any notification," he said. "Our charge is to bring fiber to specific sites. We build it to where they tell us to build it."
West Virginia homeland security chief Jimmy Gianato, who heads the federal stimulus broadband expansion project, said he was unaware that Frontier had installed fiber to an empty building. Gianato was unsure whether Frontier had billed for the work and been paid.
"If we would have known about the move beforehand, we wouldn't have built to that site," he said. "But somebody's going to benefit from that fiber being there. They can use the fiber."
Indeed, somebody might.
In April, the Huntington law firm of Lamp, O'Dell, Bartram, Levy, Trautwein and Perry PLLC bought the building at 720 Fourth Ave., where the Region 2 Council leased office space.
The firm paid $540,000 for the property, and plans to move there from its current River Tower office in late July.
Matt Perry, a lawyer with the firm, said he didn't know the law firm's new location would have a high-speed fiber connection paid for by the federal stimulus. He said the building's former owner never mentioned it.
Perry said his firm, which has about a dozen employees, likely wouldn't need the extra Internet speed.
"I don't know if we could functionally use it," he said.
Sigmon said the fiber offers incredibly fast download speeds - speeds that his agency will never use because it doesn't have such a fiber connection at its new headquarters.
"It's the best fiber," he said. "It's the best fiber you can get."

Transform Rockford held its second Community Learning Series event March 25, at Rockford University. Northern Illinois University Senior Researcher Dr. Norm Walzer shared his research on driving community change and challenged us all in a few areas.
Dr. Walzer pointed out that healthy networks of relationships are key to getting significant projects done in a community. Strong networks make it easier to spread the word, get input, gather support and mobilize to do things.
Recently, our community has seen historic reunions of both our Lao community and our faith leaders. Through multiple initiatives, groups and individuals are crossing barriers to see that we have much in common and good reason to work together. Dr. Walzer would say we must continue this work if we are to truly transform.
Next Phase: Transform Rockford volunteers have started drafting a shared vision. They have organized the input from dozens of visioning sessions. In coming weeks they will offer a draft of our region's vision for your review.

text: miheer 1 / 1 Mar 19, 2013 #1Statement of PurposeIn the following statement of my objectives, I have highlighted the reasons that have prompted me to pursue graduate studies at Northeastern University. In doing so, I have briefly summed up my motivation for graduate study, academic background, fields of interest and research experience.I grew up seeing my father establishing his business from a nascent stage to one of the leading automobile part manufacturers. I watched him strive to make their products technologically sound and with an excellent quality.On further thought, I realize that the single most factors that affects development of a country is technology. My innate strengths have always been creative abilities and the power of imagination. Pursuing engineering allowed me to channel them in the best possible way. Having grown up in a mechanical environment choosing mechanical came naturally.I have made a sincere effort to achieve a solid foundation in Mechanical Engineering balancing both intellectual and practical experiences. Comprehensive curriculum and quality and the extent of the courses coupled with a stimulating research and experiment oriented environment enabled me to acquire a strong theoretical footing and also stoked my interest in application-oriented studies. My undergraduate years in VIT most definitely contribute to my shaping into an individual with a compounded attitude for excellence. During I also acquired practical experiences as an intern in summer breaks at Cutting tool industry which exposed me to real world engineering which is the main interface for bringing out the concepts into application..One of the Practical experience gained and highlight of my academic career is I was member of BAJA Team for SAE Baja Asia 2011 from my University. I was in charge of the Brakes department. This enabled me to work in a team of dedicated minds. I gained a lot from this association - in particular, an idea of how to implement theoretical concepts practically. This eventually helped me to enhance my skills such as Designing, planning and management, Communication skills and team work. There were days where I had to spend more than twelve hours a day at workshop, reading manuals and troubleshooting parts. The extent of the practical experience I gained through this project was well above par with that what we can obtain through textbooks. All these efforts led us to win the prestigious Best Engineering Design awardI honestly believe that the upcoming decades will face an energy crisis. There has been an enormous increase in the global demand for energy in recent years as a result of industrial development and population growth Supply of energy is, therefore, far less than the actual demand. The urges to accept challenges and to conclude it with a desire to benefit the humankind, I decided to confront the challenges in energy which plays the crucial role in our lives. Course like Renewable Energy Sources in my 4th semester introduced me to the aspects Renewable Energy conservation and conversion. The lectures were the first rudimentary building block for my interest and enthusiasm in this field. This inculcated my interest in perusing through Tech. Magazines like "Renewable Energy World" and "Large Scale Solar World", and the Internet in my leisure gave me a much better understanding of the Non conventional sources of energy and their effective extraction.This Enthusiasm further propelled me to choose the projects of similar interests. My First Hardware project was "Electricity Generation from Crowd Farm". A conceptual design that seeks to milk the mechanical feet movement of hundreds or thousands of assembled people to produce electrical power. This concept was demonstrated by a prototype glowing LED's which guides the correct path in subway. It took 3 months of perseverance and hard work to complete the project and elation when the judges verified by stepping on the floor and glowing the Lights was like a dream come true because it was the first project of my under graduation .Based on similar interests I undertook my final year project The Design and fabrication of Briquette making Machine". The sole purpose of this project was to make an efficient and affordable Machine which produces Briquettes (pellets) by using the dry bio-waste generated in farms. This method of generating energy using locally grown crops and residues takes rural communities one step closer to becoming entirely self-sufficient when it comes to energy. The project gave me an excellent opportunity to gain knowledge and explore the field pervasively This project enkindled me to know variety in biomasses and their calorific. What possible mixtures of biomasses will yield better calorific value and less ash content, by identifying their availability in seasons and their patterns of generation in rural areas. Practically I learned to make machine maintainable -maintenance free, by considering the machine design aspects, manufacturability and ergonomics inculcated by exhaustive curriculum.Through both of these projects, I gained first-hand experience with computationally intensive problems. Although each of my projects was a unique experience, they were all essential parts of my education. The small victories (and the unplanned hiccoughs) were invaluable in teaching me how to plan and persevere.After finishing my graduation, I decided to acquire the experience in the field of Non -Conventional energy resources. I joined the Sanjay Technoplasts Pvt. Ltd. as a Research Assistant in Non Conventional Energy Engineering Research and Development .During my work I associated myself to a Research team and played a vital role in developing few products such as Biomass stove Eco Chula a novel product, Eco-Cooker,Pellet Making Machine and also assumed a beneficial role in Marketing, by implementing innovative methods for the products developed.Whiling working as Research Assistant facilitated me to explore and learn the new avenues like Energy consumption and distribution in rural areas, Difficulties in supplying sufficient energy and the possible ways to generate the power sources within the limitations. By reckoning these concepts and facts the working milieu instilled me to implement simple but innovative ideas by deliberating the Cost considerations making user friendly and marketable products to extract the Non conventional energy resources. My outstanding contribution and hard work made me an indispensable member of research Team and instilled deep confidence in me and motivated me to explore the field more and delve further into research.I look forward to pursuing graduate studies in Non Conventional sources of energy to deepen my knowledge of the field so that I can innovate and contribute to solving the challenges faced due to an increasing energy crisis in future. As a part of my graduate studies at Northeastern University I hope to pursue dedicated effort towards furthering this goal.

Winters Blues Inspired by Johnny Winter Crystallized Tank Top Men
"Winters Blues" Men's crystallized tank top graphics created in loving memory of Johnny Winter who's ripping blues rock riffs inspired myself and countless others to learn how to play the guitar and love the blues. Johnny Winter's music was a major influence and driving force starting in the early 1970s up until his recent passing just after his 70th birthday. Johnny played guitar and did vocals with such legends as Muddy Waters, Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin (they were VERY close), Rick Derringer, Albert Collins, Buddy Guy, Eric Clapton, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Derek Trucks, Warren Haynes and many others. He also, produced three Grammy nominated albums with Muddy Waters and playing guitar on the Grammy-winning "Hard Again" He recently released the Grammy nominated "I'm A Bluesman".

General Motors to Invest $1 Billion in Brazil Operations – Money to Come from U.S. Rescue Program
By Russ Dallen
Latin American Herald Tribune staff
SAO PAULO – General Motors plans to invest $1 billion in Brazil to avoid the kind of problems the U.S. automaker is facing in its home market, said the beleaguered car maker.
According to the president of GM Brazil-Mercosur, Jaime Ardila, the funding will come from the package of financial aid that the manufacturer will receive from the U.S. government and will be used to "complete the renovation of the line of products up to 2012."
"It wouldn't be logical to withdraw the investment from where we're growing, and our goal is to protect investments in emerging markets," he said in a statement published by the business daily Gazeta Mercantil.
Meanwhile, he cut the company's revenue forecast for this year by 14% to $9.5 billion from $11 billion, as the economic crisis began to cause rapid slowdowns in sales.
GM already announced three programs of paid leave, and Ardila added that GM Brazil "is going to wait and see how the market behaves in order to know what decision to take" with regard to possible layoffs.
For Ardila, the injection in Brazil's automobile sector of 8 billion reais ($3.51 billion) recently announced by the federal and state governments of Sao Paulo "has already begun to revive sales," which fell by 12% in October.
The executive said that the company will operate a "conservative" scenario in 2009 with an estimated production of 2.6 million units, and another more "optimistic" that contemplates sales of 2.9 million.
This year sales will reach 2.85 million vehicles, which represents a growth of 15% over last year.

ST. PAUL, MN – The Toronto Rock (9-9) defeated the Minnesota Swarm (4-14) by a score of 8-6 at the Xcel Energy Center in St. Paul, Minnesota to conclude the regular season on Saturday night.
Prior to the conclusion of the Rock's victory over the Swarm, Toronto had received the help they were looking for as the Rochester Knighthawks held on to defeat the Buffalo Bandits 16-14. This meant, the Toronto win gave the Rock home floor advantage in their first round, single elimination, East Division Semi-Final playoff game against Buffalo next weekend.
Stephan Leblanc carried the hot stick in the early going as he scored both of Toronto's opening quarter goals. Minnesota super-rookie Logan Schuss had the lone marker for the Swarm as the visiting Rock held a 2-1 lead after one quarter.
The Swarm tied things early in the second quarter with Kiel Matisz striking on the powerplay. Leblanc scored an extra-man goal of his own to complete the first half hat-trick and restore the Rock's lead. Just seven seconds after that goal, Rock rookie Ethan O'Connor picked up a loose ball off the faceoff and ran in unscathed scoring to put Toronto up 4-2.
The third quarter belonged to the Rock and proved to the be the difference in the game. Toronto scored three times just 3:02 into the quarter, the goals coming just 1:22 apart. Josh Sanderson, Rob Hellyer and Kasey Beirnes connected with the Sanderson tally coming on the powerplay.
Minnesota chipped away at the Rock lead in the fourth quarter, outscoring Toronto 4-1 in the final frame. Nick Diachenko's early goal had stretched the Rock lead to 6 goals and the Swarm were just never able to recover.
Toronto goaltender Brandon Miller made 47 saves in the Rock goal to earn his 3rd win in a Rock uniform.
Leblanc (3 goals, 1 assist) and Hellyer (1 goal, 3 assists) each had four-point games to lead all Rock scorers.

To help the companies it serves tackle their ongoing compliance challenges, Charles Schwab on Monday launched Compliance Solutions, which combines the capabilities of Schwab Designated Brokerage Services (DBS) and Compliance 11, Inc.
Schwab says its Compliance Solutions program fulfills an initiative it launched last November after acquiring Compliance 11 and pairing it with Schwab Designated Brokerage Services. Compliance 11 provides regulatory compliance software and DBS provides trade monitoring services. Since the acquisition, Schwab says it has focused on creating a unique suite of tools and resources for clients.
"Companies understand that they need to meet regulatory requirements, but at Schwab we believe compliance can and should mean more than a check-the-box approach," said Trish Cox, senior vice president for Corporate Brokerage Services at Schwab, in a statement. "Consumers value open and transparent business practices, and positive perception in this area may benefit a company's bottom line. When managed effectively, a compliance program can be an opportunity to position a company favorably in the marketplace, build trust with clients, and enhance value and market share for a firm."
Scott Rister, vice president of Compliance Solutions, said Schwab is also seeing growing concern among its own client base of employers regarding compliance issues. "Our clients are coming to us for help as they face an increasingly complex regulatory environment that often outpaces their ability to manage compliance processes," Rister said in the same statement. "The business risk for our clients is real, and our solutions are designed to tackle it head on."
Rister added that one of the chief concerns faced by regulated firms is improper securities trading, and the number and types of firms that are required to monitor employee securities trading is growing rapidly. Employees, he said, may be prohibited from trading a specific security for a variety of reasons, such as the firm possessing material non-public information.
To address this challenge, Schwab introduced proactive trade blocking. Proactive trade blocking "is unique in the industry and prevents employees from executing a prohibited trade in error, notifying them that the prohibited trade was blocked according to their company's rules," Rister said. "With other systems available today, even if a prohibited trade is detected, it is after the fact, which creates a poor experience for the employee and the employer alike, often requiring the trade to be canceled and unwound."
Proactive trade blocking, Rister went on to say, "offers a much more streamlined approach and a much better experience, saving time and minimizing hassles. These trading errors are typically honest mistakes made by honest people. Now we offer a unique solution that helps them avoid these mistakes in the first place."
Compliance Solutions also offers additional tools and technology resources "to help transform a company's overall compliance process from complex and time-consuming to simple and efficient," Schwab said.
The comprehensive offerings include:
- Proactive enforcement of company trading policies
- Distribution and tracking of employee affirmations and disclosures
- Logging and reporting of gifts and entertainment
- A sophisticated, cloud-based software application
- A scalable, flexible platform
- Easier maintenance of compliance policies and procedures
- Dedicated service and support teams
- Bundled pricing for cost savings
- Employee access to a full suite of brokerage products and services from Charles Schwab & Co.
- Employee access to a range of banking products and services from Charles Schwab Bank.

Peggy Noonan Loses It
Poor Peggy Noonan. The Wall Street Journal's knee-jerk partisan columnist has completely surrendered to Obama Derangement Syndrome and turned her weekly Journal effort into plotting out ways to express her irrational contempt for the president.
This week she calls Obama a "loser." Last week he was a "boring" "walking headache" and Noonan suggested he just "shut up."
Oh my.
Remember, of course, that Noonan was part of the conservative media movement that for years played defense for George W. Bush and demanded (demanded!) the office of the presidency always be treated with the utmost respect. Anything less was patently un-American. (Noonan also disdains incivility, or so we're told.)
But now with a Democrat in the White House that respect has evaporated and has been replaced with a type of absurd personal disdain that seems to be driving Noonan to utter distraction as she searches for way to express her scorn for Barack Obama.
What's curious is that unlike some media ideologues who relentlessly ridicule Obama's policies, Noonan, a Beltway media favorite, seems to be fixated on the personal in a way that defies rational punditry.
What's also embarrassing is that her juvenile bout of name-calling comes during the debt debate in which she's been trying to depict Republicans as the grown-ups and the ones trying to solve the nation's problems. (If Obama would just get out of the way!) But as Thursday's late-night non-vote on Speaker of the House John Boehner's bill indicated, that doesn't seem to match reality.
And actually, if you go back to last week's condescending column, Noonan was sure the Senate's so-called Gang of Six had figured out the debt logjam, and if Obama would just stop his arrogant grandstanding the bipartisan Gang of Six could find a way out of this crisis.
Turns out it was Republican Boehner, under pressure from far-right members of his caucus, who last week walked away from the Gang of Six deal. But Noonan's now silent on that point.
This week Noonan makes no mention that it was conservatives who torpedoed the Gang of Six plan she touted as the most promising compromise. (i.e. "It's good, it represents progress, build from it. " ) Instead, Noonan simply doubles down with the Obama name-calling.
Question: Who's the real loser here?

Fourteen members of the California Society petitioned their Board of
Assistants in 1950 to charter a Hawaii Colony of the California Mayflower
Society. There were 29 members when the official charter was presented
on December 27, 1951.
Although Hawaii had not yet attained statehood, the Hawaii Colony -- with the interest and assistance of Mr. Lewis E. Neff, the historian general -- became "The State Society of Mayflower Descendants in Hawaii" on August 30, 1958. At this time the Colony had grown, and the new charter listed 44 members. Today we have more than 125 members.
1. To perpetuate to remote posterity the memory of
the Pilgrim Fathers.
2. To maintain and defend the principle of civil and religious liberty.
3. To authenticate, preserve and mark historical spots made memorable by Pilgrim association.
4. To discover and publish original matter in regard to the Pilgrims together with existing data known only to antiquarians.
5. To discover, record and publish the ancestry of the Pilgrims and the lines of all their posterity--past and present.
6. To cooperate with the General Society of Mayflower Descendants and with the affiliated State Societies composing it, in united effort for furtherance of the ends aforesaid.
7. Notwithstanding any statement of purposes or powers aforesaid, this organization shall not, except to an insubstantial degree, engage in any activities or exercise any powers that are not in furtherance of its specific and primary purpose.

Fabulous and simple.
Surely in the future you can pass info to another language
Nice, could use some updates
I got this for work so I could scan things in instead of typing them all out. The app works, however I would like to be able to have my own gallery of QR's I've made as well as be able to title them.
Love the way history lays them out for you but want to add title or description. ( just afraid it has limited space) haven't had it long though.
Excellent and very accurate QR designer and scanner
I have been looking for a stable and. Accurate QR scanner/ designer. This is it look no further.
