A recent study by researchers at North Carolina State University and the University of Oregon describes a threat scenario that allows attackers to exploit cloud-based resources for malicious purposes like cracking passwords or launching denial-of-service attacks. The study has gotten a lot of attention, including articles in reputable sources like Dark Reading, Ars Technica and Network World.
In order to optimize the performance of mobile apps or browsers, some computation-heavy functions have been offloaded to cloud-based resources, which in turn access backend resources and Web pages. This creates a middle ground in the cloud that is exploited in the attack, which the authors call "Browser Map Reduce (BMR)". In reading the paper, it's clear that this is a legitimate threat. The authors actually carried it out using free resources, although they limited the scope in order not to be abusive.
Aside from questions of curiosity around the mechanics of the vulnerability, the obvious question is this: How can we mitigate this threat? Here are a few perspectives here as well as a method for each.
Apps – This "cloud offload" architecture has arisen because of the processing limitations of mobile devices. When a backend resource is requested by a mobile user, it makes sense to have the data returned in the most consumable format, in order to optimize user experience. Whenever possible, instead of doing this through "browser offload", data should be returned as JSON objects. This API approach is a proven method that works for mobile devices and is not subject to the BMR threat.
Cloud Services – This threat should not be viewed as a dismissal of the "cloud offload" approach. Cloud-based resources are necessary for handling caching, data indexing and other key functions in the mobile paradigm. However, it serves as a warning that these dedicated cloud-based resources cannot be considered part of a walled garden that includes the associated mobile app. The resource's entry point must be protected against attackers. Layer 7's SecureSpan Mobile Access Gateway is an ideal choice for this access control, as it uses identity-based measures to ensure that only requests from legitimate sources are serviced.
Web-Based Resources – Although the backend Web resource was not exploited in this scenario, the study is a reminder that the topology of the mobile Web is changing and increasing in complexity. P2P app-to-API connections cannot be assumed and therefore inbound API calls cannot be implicitly trusted. API access must be controlled and the SecureSpan API Proxy is a leading solution for this purpose.
To sum up, this is a legitimate threat but not a reason to abandon the use of cloud-based resources for mobile app optimization. Be aware of the threats, employ the mitigations and then you can continue to enjoy the exciting growth of the mobile Web.

This review is from: ASUS C60M1-I AMD Fusion APU C-60 (1.0GHz, dual core) AMD Hudson M1 Mini ITX Motherboard/CPU Combo
Pros: * 6 sata3 ports onboard
* very low power consumption
* passively cooled
Cons: no star deduction for these because they are "nice-to-haves" and not essential for what i believe to be this board's primary intended use.
* no usb3 (but does have plenty of usb2 ports)
* no hdmi (but does have dvi)
Other Thoughts: i have been thoroughly impressed and pleased with this little board. i used it to build a home file server (primarily for storing media files) with the following configuration:
* lian-li pc-q08 case (has 6x3.5, 1x2.5, 1x5.25 bays, plus a 140mm fan to cool drives and a 120mm fan to cool the board)
* picoITX power supply
* SSD boot drive, DVD drive, 1xHD for backup, 4x3TB drives for storage
* windows server 2012. 4x3TB drives combined into a single volume using "storage spaces" with parity
the machine runs 24/7, very cool, very quiet, using very little power. it's been very, very stable.
one compatibility note: i attempted to add a sata port multiplier, but it would not work with the onboard sata ports.
This review is from: ICY DOCK MB990SP-B Dual Bay 2.5" to 3.5" SATA/IDE SSD & Hard Drive Bracket / Adapter, tool-less design for installation
Pros: this thing is just darn near perfect in every way. best 2.5 > 3.5 adapter i've ever tried. sturdy metal construction.
Cons: none as far as i can tell
Other Thoughts: i didn't measure it, but it might not fit extra-tall 2.5" drives. but it fits all of the ones i have except the WD green 2.2TB, which is way out of spec.
READ FULL REVIEWThis review is from: Foxconn H67S LGA 1155 Intel H67 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s Mini ITX Intel Motherboard
Pros: none that i can confirm with a DOA board.
i liked the fact that there were not a bunch of extra controllers, just the chipset providing all the features
but i will never know because the board was DOA
Cons: foxconn, your DOA board ruined a christmas surprise
Other Thoughts: yes, i know electronics can DOA.
but under the circumstances i am so unhappy with foxconn i will never again knowingly buy one of their products

Are you interested in visiting the new World War I museum in Kansas City?
Asked at the U.S. post office, 645 Vt. on December 11, 2006
"Yes. It's always good to learn more about such an important part of history. I think my generation in particular doesn't fully appreciate the impact it had."
"Yeah, I probably would. I would definitely like to learn more about it."
"Yeah, sure, because my dad served overseas in World War I."
"Yeah. It's always interesting to find out everything that happened and see what kind of equipment was used to increase our knowledge of it."
sgtwolverine 8 years, 1 month ago
I'd love to visit it. But could you move it closer to Michigan for me?
sublime 8 years, 1 month ago
I love taking my kids to museums.I'm sure we will make our way out there.
Linda Aikins 8 years, 1 month ago
One yes and three yeahs.
Absolutely yes. But sadly enough, this is the first I've heard of it.
Judging from how many mistakes I made typing this little comment, it's going to be a loooooooooooong day.
trinity 8 years, 1 month ago
me? sure, i'd love to visit such a museum.
but c'mon, when they asked this question, who'd have said "HELL NO"??? i mean gawd, that'd be like telling your gramma no when she tried to give ya a warm chocolate chip cookie! :)
inmate, tsk; what do those administrators THINK, anyway?? i'm sure whatever crimes were committed seemed like a good idea at the time!
sgt, how we doin' on our campaign, lining out a cabinet?? ;)
sunflower_sue 8 years, 1 month ago
"HELL NO!" snicker (not really...that was just for Trinity) :)
Yes! I love museums. But I'm w/ Gootsie here...1st I've heard of it.
RT, Yes, a riverwalk would be great. I worry though that it would take away from our roundabout funding. Maybe we could just put some water around the roundabouts like little moats, and ferry everyone through them???

Awwww, Sue, you beat me to my "clever comment of the day"(tm). Now I guess I'll have to wait until tomorrow.
heysoos 8 years, 1 month ago
So predictable of the LJW staff, asking a question, where else but downtown? With all those hippy-slacker-homeless-student-barista-musician-artist-library supporters, what kind of answers would you expect to a question like this?
jonas 8 years, 1 month ago
O-Bob: Something tells me that rediculousness was probably intentional.
heysoos 8 years, 1 month ago
It was a joke, Howdy! I just thought it was funny that a certain conservative poster was the only one being critical of a museum...

TOB: that would be the WWI Liberty Memorial by Crown Center/Union Station, the national monument to those Americans killed in the war to end all wars. It is also really, really phallic.
Kontom: The line is, "War, huh -- What is it good for? Absolutely nothing!" Or in this case, at least a memorial and a museum.
And yes, I would love to visit the museum, and think the monument is one of the better in the nation. I especially like the sphinxes.
mom_of_three 8 years, 1 month ago
When the Liberty Memorial had an anniversary or something a couple of years ago, the museum was being built or started, so I have seen parts of it. It's pretty cool.

Py, that's actually the first thing that came to mind when I read bea's post. It is indeed a landmark. Or something.
sunflower_sue 8 years, 1 month ago
Py, that was priceless! Thanks for the view. (sorry for the slow typing but I tried to sever my "middle finger" in one of my lovely solid hardwood doors today. It was a bit painful. (Hubby said the noise it made sounded like I ran into the wall.) If you see someone walking around w/ the middle finger all bandaged up, introduce yourself! :$

The management of the Conference on Material Claims against Germany (Claims Conference) is ecstatic after having successfully forced two Israeli journalists to publicly apologize and praise them.In 2008, Israeli TV aired a program titled Moral Reparations – The Struggle Continues, which bitterly condemned the management of the Claims Conference for refusing to prioritize financial disbursements to ameliorate the desperate plight of aging Holocaust survivors unable to live out their remaining years in dignity.The program was partly based on a report commissioned by the Jewish Agency from forensic accountant Yehuda Barlev, but never released after the Claims Conference stated that it would review its allotments toward the Agency.The Claims Conference sued the show's producers Orly Vilnai and Guy Meroz for libel, alleging that the program was "anti-Semitic" and presented "a cruel and distorted calumny."In order to intimidate future potential critics, they demanded the exorbitant amount of NIS 4 million in damages. Ultimately, presumably at the behest of the insurance company reluctant to remain engaged in lengthy and costly court proceedings, a settlement was negotiated for a much smaller amount – NIS 150,000 – which it was agreed would be donated to a Holocaust survivor fund chosen by the journalists.In addition, the Claims Conference obtained a written apology praising them for "acting tirelessly on behalf of the Jewish people" and its "unprecedented contribution to assisting Holocaust survivors."However, while acknowledging that "in the course of our struggle to correct what we saw as a historical and inhuman injustice... we failed to present the whole picture," there was no acknowledgement by the journalists of any specific factual error in their film.Moreover, as part of the settlement, Vilnai and Meroz insisted on including a sentence stating that "the frustrating gap between the desire to help Holocaust survivors which is shared by the entire Jewish people, and the actual condition of Holocaust survivors requires criticism – on occasion harsh if deserved – directed at those who set policy in this area, as well as of those who implement it, since this is a sacred task."The Claims Conference management is now exploiting this settlement as a means of diverting attention from the legitimate criticisms and increasing anger directed against them over recent years. Chairman Julius Berman forwarded memoranda to the media and Jewish organizations, exulting over the outcome, even praising by name the senior officers conducting the costly legal campaign which had been in process for years. He did not disclose how much money the Claims Conference diverted from Holocaust funds towards this lawsuit.In order to attempt to balance the equation, I would challenge Mr. Berman and his Chief Executive Officer to respond to the following issues which continue to concern Jews throughout the world.• 1. In view of the pitiful state of the diminishing number of ailing survivors, many of whom continue to be denied a dignified life in their remaining years and cannot even afford to pay for basic food, fuel and medical expenses: a) Has there been an independent review of the existing allocations provided toward major charitable causes like hospitals and Israeli infrastructure which do not directly benefit survivors? Has consideration been given to prioritizing funds from these projects toward survivors? b)Will the Claims Conference consider temporarily freezing allocations to all nonsurvivor related funds in order to at least partially improve the catastrophic living conditions of these hapless people? • 2. In February 2010, it was revealed that there had been a massive theft of funds specifically earmarked by the German government for Holocaust survivors. The Claims Conference initially specified that the amount stolen was $350,000. But later it was reported that the theft was in excess of the staggering sum of $50 million.Last November Der Spiegel stated the sum had reached $57 million! It was subsequently disclosed that six corrupt Claims Conference officials, including senior employees working out of their own New York head office, had been looting these funds for over 15 years – under the very noses of the highly paid senior executives. Repeated warnings that a single part-time internal comptroller was absurdly insufficient for an organization handling billions of dollars were ignored until it was too late.Nobody can dispute that it was the responsibility of the Claims Conference management to oversee the allocation of these funds. Yet as of today, not a single person has accepted accountability. The CEO even had the gall to insist that everything was in order because there was no deviation from standard procedures. The management adamantly refused to authorize an independent forensic audit in order to evaluate what took place, ensure that no theft had occurred in other areas and that appropriate precautions had been imposed to avoid a repetition.The issue was raised at the last Claims Conference annual meeting and, after the chairman praised the manner in which his officers had dealt with the issue, the board responded by enthusiastically carrying a bizarre motion of confidence in their management.It is inconceivable that any normal private or public institution would refuse to accept accountability and fail to demand resignations or at least censure of management after such a massive fraud has been perpetrated on their watch.The public is entitled to demand that the management reveal the precise quantity of funds stolen and advise as to whether there is any intention of introducing a genuinely independent forensic audit to review the entire organization.Or has the question of accountability for failure to implement oversight over these funds now been permanently shelved? • 3. The Board of Deputies of British Jews commissioned an independent review (the Gruder Report) following complaints from Holocaust victims that the Claims Conference lacked "transparency and accountability" and had behaved unethically in the sale of Jewish German properties.The report was highly critical of the Claims Conference's moral conduct, suggesting that reprehensible efforts had been implemented to prevent heirs from recovering property stolen from their families. The matter was raised at the last annual board meeting – and dismissed by the chairman, who treated the request to review the situation with utter contempt. Is this the last word on this matter? • 4. Is it acceptable for the largest charitable institution in the Jewish world, which has been responsible for the disbursement of over $80 billion of restitution funds, to continue to be headed by the same elected officers for over a decade, notwithstanding complaints that the chairman has inordinate powers and runs the organization like a personal fiefdom? • 5. The board, which meets annually and whose directors have great difficulty comprehending the complexity of the allocation of funds, has rarely, if ever, rejected a recommendation from the allocations committee and effectively serves as a rubber stamp for the management.This situation is exacerbated by potential conflicts of interest of directors whose organizations receive funding from the Claims Conference. Is it not now imperative to set up an independent committee to review the entire procedure of allocations in order to ascertain what can be done to ameliorate the tragic plight of the survivors – the greatest scandal of our time in the Jewish world? The concerns related to above have been frequently raised previously. Yet the Claims Conference management has arrogantly opted to deflect any criticism by demonizing anyone challenging their policies. What is needed is not self-aggrandizement, but genuine soul searching and, even at this late hour, fulfilling the obligation to consider drastic initiatives to overcome the scandalous suffering of elderly Holocaust survivors living in penury.

Of course this will require you to sign with the carrier for a two-year contract but at $50 for a brand new WP8 handset? Sounds like a good deal, doesn't it? This deal is expected to run from the 23rd of November until the 25th of November and will only be available in store, so you best hurry before they run out of stock!

Home Page › Forums › Tea News and Information › Can you make tea out of coffee?
This topic contains 6 replies, has 4 voices, and was last updated by Xavier 1 year, 11 months ago.
This topic has been quite popular in the Twitter universe today.
And I think it brings us back to an old topic we discussed a while back: what is tea?
At the end of the day what people will care about is if it tastes good or not. According to the article it's not very promising…
I don't know what the caffeine content of a coffee leaf is, but if it's rather high, that will add an extra bitterness to the resulting brew.
I'll like to try it, just out of curiosity.
Somehow I missed this interesting discussion, here's another "Tea from coffee-leaves" link. This time it's from India's Deccan Chronicle

The decision by Royal Mail to abandon trains in favour of road transport was bitterly opposed by the Department of the Environment.
In a private letter to the leader of the rail network's biggest union, the Environment minister Lord Whitty registered his dismay over the move, declaring it was in contradiction to government policy.
He told the RMT union's general secretary, Bob Crow: "I personally, and this department also, have grave concerns about the Royal Mail decision, which seems to be heading in the opposite direction from the aim of a more balanced, environmentally friendly and integrated system."
The letter, dated 22 September but which only became public yesterday, went on to express regret that his department had no control over the decision.
He said the Government had given Royal Mail greater commercial freedom and so it would be inappropriate for ministers to intervene.
Royal Mail has come under pressure to rethink its decision, announced on 6 June, and is discussingways of continuing to use the rail network.

Tuesday, 27 Jan 2009 09:44 PM
WASHINGTON — The Georgia peanut processing plant at the center of a national salmonella outbreak had a history of problems it failed to correct, federal health officials said Tuesday.
Officials said the Peanut Corp. of America plant had shipped products that the company's own initial tests found to be positive for salmonella. They retested and got a negative reading.
Peanut Corp. also failed to take some standard "good manufacturing" steps to prevent contamination within the Blakely, Ga., facility. officials said. Indeed, investigators have identified four different strains of salmonella thus far.
"There is certainly a salmonella problem in the plant," said Dr. Robert Tauxe of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
The latest findings renewed concerns about federal inspections of food facilities, which are few and far between. In this case, the Food and Drug Administration relied on Georgia authorities to inspect the plant. But state agricultural inspectors did not uncover what now appears to have been a festering problem.
"Inspections are worthless if companies can test and retest until they receive the results they want," said Rep. Bart Stupak, D-Mich, who heads a congressional panel conducting its own inquiry. He's introduced legislation to end such "lab shopping" and to require companies to submit all test results to the FDA. Officials said Peanut Corp. did not initially disclose the test results that found salmonella.
Meanwhile, the recall list has grown to more 390 products, from ice cream to dog biscuits. More than 500 people have gotten sick, and the outbreak may have contributed to eight deaths.
Peanut Corp. issued a terse statement on Tuesday, saying: "PCA has cooperated fully with the FDA from day one during the course of this investigation. We have shared with them every record that they have asked for that is in our possession, and we will continue to do so."
The FDA said it will post its inspection reports on the Internet on Wednesday.
A senior FDA investigator told reporters Tuesday that the company's own internal testing detected salmonella on about 12 occasions in 2007 and 2008.
"The inspection revealed that the firm's internal testing program identified salmonella," said Michael Rogers, director of FDA's division of field investigations. "In some cases ... a subsequent lab was used that reached a negative conclusion." Peanut Corp. then shipped the products.
But, said Rogers: "At the point in which salmonella was identified, it shouldn't be there."
Rogers also said Peanut Corp. did not do enough to prevent cross-contamination within the plant. Roasting is supposed to kill any salmonella in peanuts. But roasted peanuts can become re-contaminated if they are handled with equipment that's also used for raw peanuts.
Health officials said they have now identified four types of salmonella in connection with the investigation.
Salmonella Typhimurium is the strain that caused the illnesses. Two other strains were found on the floor of the facility and a third in a container of peanut butter from the plant.
Stupak, whose staff has been briefed by the FDA, said Salmonella Tennessee was found in an unopened jar of peanut butter from the plant.
Salmonella Senftenberg, as well as Salmonella Mbandaka were found on the floors of the plant.
None of the other three strains contributed to the outbreak, CDC officials said, but their presence was seen a sign of overall problems with cleanliness at the facility.
Curiously, the outbreak strain has not turned up within the plant. Nonetheless, officials said they have plenty of evidence that's where it came from. Connecticut health officials isolated Salmonella Typhimurium from an unopened container of peanut butter made at the facility. Minnesota officials found it in an open container. FDA also found it in a package of recalled crackers made with peanut paste from the plant.
Salmonella is the most common source of food poisoning in the United States. It causes diarrhea, cramping and fever. About one out of every five patients who got sick in the current outbreak had to be hospitalized. The elderly and the very young are especially vulnerable.

Brendan Fraser, who stars in the madcap Irish crime comedy, attended the screening at the Waterfront Hall on Sunday evening, alongside George and other leading cast members.
It marked the end of this year's Belfast Film Festival.
Whole Lotta Sole tells the story of hapless young father Jimbo, played by Martin McCann, who is trying to protect his family from the gangster he is in debt to.
He robs the local fish market, which turns out to be a front for the same gangster, and goes on the run by holing up in a local antique shop - where things go from bad to worse.
It's a laugh, lots of laughs and a bit of nostalgia about Belfast and feeling good - it's a Belfast fairytale!Terry George
It's a laugh, lots of laughs and a bit of nostalgia about Belfast and feeling good - it's a Belfast fairytale!
Terry George
George, who picked up an Oscar earlier this year with his live action short The Shore, described his latest movie as a "Belfast fairytale".
"We have a very vibrant film industry here and I think we are going to see a lot more movie starts coming over. It's great to have Brendan's support."
Brendan Fraser, who plays the role of antique store manager Joe Maguire, paid tribute to Belfast-born director George.
"He's one of the kindest, most accomplished, finest directors I have ever had the pleasure of working with," Fraser said.
"I'm humbled to have the stripe of executive producer alongside him because I secretly took it so I could work with him, to learn from someone who truly is a maestro.
"The story itself is eclectic fun, a bit unusual, but it frames Belfast in a way that's new and lets us see the city itself as a character and depicts all the diversity of the place that has been moving forward in spite of all the challenges."

Recent San Juan Area reviews
"Alex and Monica's apartment is great and very comfortable. We had 4 adults and enjoyed our stay in Old San Juan very much. The view and ocean breeze is something that we will remember forever. The apartment is in a great location for walking to great restaurants and entertainment, both of which will not disapoint. Be adventurous and rent a car as there are so many beautiful places to explore. You will not be disappointed in any of it and certainly coming home to this place was a joy. Rent it and ENJOY!"
"We came to San Juan for a family weekend event at a big hotel just down the beach from this Isla Verde condo. My husband and I had never been to PR so we decided it would be fun to get away for a week, but everything about the big hotel setting seemed to collide with our desire to relax and set our own pace. This condo was the perfect answer! Everything is clean, convenient, and comfortable for a longer stay. We enjoyed the view, the pool, and long walks on the beautiful beach. Neighborhood restaurants and a nice grocery store are within walking distance. A car rental is nearby, so we toured the island on two days, and it was easy to find a taxi to take us to Old San Juan, too. If you aren't sure about what you want to do or how to get there, the owner has travel books and pamphlet information right there in the condo. And don't worry about staying connected; the wifi works well. Be assured that this owner will answer any question or help you with anything related to your stay. The building has good security and is well maintained, and the owner will go out of his way to make your stay a good one."
"This apartment was light-years above other, similarily prized, apartments we lived in during our 14 days in Puerto Rico. First of all: it did not smell moldy. Something that is not an uncommon feature on the Island. The quality and look of the furniture was great, location was excellent and the back-yard was an oasis (orchids was growing on the palmtrees!). We had a rental car, but took the bus to San Juan. Short walk to the stop. All in all: could not have been more happy. Our two girls loved the dvd-collection!"
"Our stay at Aquatika was a wonderful getaway during our cold Chicago winter! Puerto Rico weather is pretty reliable and the 82 degree averages are very accurate. There were seven in our group and Jeff's condo was plenty of space for us. The upstairs deck was used quite often for our card games outdoors and the hammock was occupied very frequently! The condo is fairly well maintained, although one kitchen chair was unusable and the kitchen air conditioner will need replacing soon. The fridge was brand new as was the full size washer and dryer. The large 2 story windows along the one wall really gave the place a bright, lovely feel. The condo was spotless when we arrived and Jeff had several handy supplies available which we normally don't get in a rental (nice beach towels, dishwasher soap, laundry soap, hand soap, spices in the cabinet, coffee filters, sponges, pool floaties, basketball, football, soccer ball), so that was a pleasant surprise.We loved all the pool choices but were somewhat disappointed that the lazy river did not have the jets running all week. Neither did the hot tubs and the slide. But everything else was maintained nicely (pool water and landscaping). The beach was a pretty small space and because of the weather this time of year (January), lots of seaweed was washing in. However, we used the public beach access close by (by car) to swim in the ocean a couple of days. The rain forest was a great day trip for some hiking and hanging out in a waterfall! Old San Juan is a must see, with all the Spanish inspired buildings, shopping, and the old fort. JC was also very helpful when he picked us up and got us settled in the unit. Overall, we were very pleased with our trip and would come back again."
