A man shovels debris from inside his house in Dichato after the April 2010 Chile tsunami. A tsunami happens when a massive amount of water is displaced, usually by an earthquake. The earthquake that caused the Chile tsunami was powerful enough to move the entire city of Concepcion ten feet to the west and shorten the Earth's rotation.

Well, with the inclusion of this post, I have successfully plowed through the entire alphabet! Phew! I definitely did not stick to some of my planned posts, but time has a way of changing stuff sometimes. Today's post is a super quickie: I just want to mention a vegan cookzine that I love:
[Kittee's photo]
I love this hefty zine (76 pages) filled with personality, recipes, kitchen advice, and crafty fun. If you have a monstrous sweet tooth, then you will appreciate the "Tooth Rotters" chapter which comprises at least half of Papa Tofu. I read the zine from cover to cover and decided that I need to make the Chocolate Whoopie Pies with Peanut Butter Creme, the Orange Cake, Stuffed Tofu Pockets, Cheeze Grits, and Yemiser W'et. Mmmmmmm…hmmmmmm! Kittee is pretty darn funky-fresh and her recipes will melt you into a puddle of vegan goop. That's a good thing! Head on over to her Etsy shop and get yourself a copy of Papa Tofu and then dirty your apron making every single fliptastic recipe.
The remainder of my MoFo posts will hopefully include some book reviews, a crazy smoothie, and maybe a video of something silly. Who knows? Anything can happen in three days…

Hold the front page! Put your Friday plans on hold! Sad news has just reached Grazia Towers: Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes are getting a divorce.
'This is a personal and private matter for Katie and her family,' the actress' attorney Jonathan Wolfe tells People Magazine. 'Katie's primary concern remains, as it always has been, her daughter's best interest.'
As Grazia reported earlier this month, the couple haven't been pictured together since early April and reports claimed the pair have been living separate lives. Katie has been spending most of her time in New York with the couple's daughter, Suri, while Tom reignites his career on the Rock of Ages publicity trail. Doting dad Tom, 49, hasn't been photographed with Suri since 12 February and was not pictured celebrating her sixth birthday on 18 April with Katie.
It's all a long way from Tom's sofa-jumping declarations of love on Oprah at the start of his romance with Katie. The couple began dating in 2005 and the Hollywood hunk proposed within months, popping the question on top of the Eiffel Tower in Paris. Aw! They got married in November 2006 during a Scientology ceremony at the 15th Century Odescalchi Castle in Italy, seven months after Suri was born.
So let's pay tribute to the glossy-haired couple known as TomKat by remembering their finest moments in the gallery above and watch Tom declaring his love in the video below. Go on, you know you want to...

Linux Kernel /proc Exploit
BLAG Forum Index

Post subject: Linux Kernel /proc Exploit
This affects basically all distros.
A possible workaround is to run this as root (needed each time you boot):
mount -oremount,noexec /proc
You can also change the "proc" line in /etc/fstab to this for it to come up on boot:
proc /proc proc rw,noexec 0 0
A new kernel will likely be release in the next few hours/minutes/seconds. Dave Jones says Fedora will have an update out today/tomorrow too. It will be available in the blag repo shortly after.
I will also be respinning the CDs and releasing BLAG50001 sometime next week.

Hi Jebba,
Am I right in thinking that this is not a thing that can be done automatically with a system upgrade as yet? And does one nedd to restart any services once you've changed /etcc/fstab? 50k rocks by the way.

Basically, if someone has an account on your box, they can use that to obtain root (system administrator) access. Anyone that has root access can do anything to the box, such as reformat it. This is not remotely exploitable--the cracker must be "local" on the system.
So, it's not a virus, but a "hole" into a system.

Ok. An update is available in the blag repository. If you are running a public server, I especially encourage you to upgrade. If you are running a desktop workstation you should still upgrade. :)

I updated the kernel. Actually I was using a version of 2.6.16 before this update because suspend to disk doesn't work right with 2.6.17 (that includes the new version). Does the exploit affect the earlier kernels also?

I believe this exploit targets all 2.6 kernels. If not, probably back to 2.6.8 or something.
Fedora legacy hasn't put out any new kernels yet, and I haven't seen any traffic about it on their list. If they make one for FC3, it'll automatically be in the blag repository. If they don't make one, I'll see what I can whip up after 50001 is done.

Don't go out of your way just for me. It's not a big deal. The only time I use suspend to disk is when I'm testing it to see if it works. And I assume it will be fixed eventually anyway, unless I'm the only one affected, which I doubt.

Ah, I kinda meant I would whip up a kernel for 30k if fedora legacy doesn't put something out. But i really really hope they'll do it for me... ;)

Post subject:
It appears that BLAG 30k & 50k are not vulnerable to the recent /proc hole since the exploit needs a.out support. Those kernels are not compiled with a.out.
Dave Jones wrote:
Additionally, this exploit only works with kernels compiled with support for a.out style executables, which Fedora isn't. I've got an update building for 22.214.171.124 anyway, just to stop the inevitable "why hasn't Fedora been patched" questions.

LastPass for BlackBerry BETA, and LastPass Premium
To install, simply point your BlackBerry browser to https://lastpass.com/, and then select the large green "Get LastPass" icon. You can also browse directly to https://lastpass.com/LastPassBB.jad.
LastPass for BlackBerry is still in an early beta stage, and as such, we'd love to hear comments from our users on how we might be able to improve and extend it.
This application is the first in a new line of features we're calling LastPass Premium. You will be able to try LastPass for BlackBerry for free for 14 days, but you must become a LastPass Premium subscriber to continue using it after that.
Along with LastPass for BlackBerry, LastPass Premium also gives you an ad-free experience and priority phone and email support. It's available for only $1 per month! You can read more and subscribe to LastPass Premium at https://lastpass.com/premium.php.
We plan on augmenting our LastPass Premium feature set even more in the near future, with features including YubiKey support, an iPhone application, and Windows Application support. Stay posted for further details on these features.

Good stuff. Looking forward to the iPhone version.ReplyDelete
Installed the app on BB Storm. Install was fine, but completely unable to login. The buttons do not work on the login dialog. I was able to enter my account id and password, but unable to confirm and login. The dialog navigation did not work. Also, larger dialog controls would be better.ReplyDelete
Went to Preferences, and the scrolling direction for dragging on screen seemed to be reversed from normal Storm drag direction. (i.e., dragging finger from top to bottom of screen should actually scrolls upwards. The metaphor is such that you are dragging the document and not moving a tracking thumb on a scrollbar. Dragging a tracking thumb will scroll in standard Windows-style direction.)

An iphone app would be much appreciated. That will certainly seperate me from my $12.ReplyDelete

It would be great to have an app for the BB that remembered passwords for web sites and logged you in, much like LastPass does on the Windows PC>ReplyDelete
Unfortunately, the current state of the BlackBerry Browser makes developing extensions with such functionality very difficult, if not impossible.ReplyDelete
Opera Mini, on the other hand, does at least support our bookmarklets. So, that's one option on the BlackBerry.

I just loaded it on my Curve 8330 and so far I think its working pretty well as expected. I can see all of my passwords from my LastPass vault, including toggling the password to view it. i also chose to "goto URL" and it seems to go there fine and fill in the info. I'll keep poking around with it but so far, I'm impressed! Thanks!ReplyDelete
Since I activated my Yubikey I don't think this will work. But surprisingly I can still log on from the browser task bar icon and pop up without the Yubikey on my desktop. Only when I use the main page sign in does the yubikey popup workReplyDelete
ah so I found the checkbox to fix the bb issue...now what about the desktop issue..ReplyDelete
- AnonymousJune 23, 2009 at 9:52 AM
The lastpass app loaded fine on my Pearl. I can see my lastpass account fine. Though the usernames and passwords don't auto load at this point. Once they do auto load, I'm assuming integration issues with the blackberry browser, then I will gladly pay for the premium service.ReplyDelete
I have used Lastpass on my desktop for a long time and love it. Loaded on to my BB, no problem logging in, but not once during my trial period did it ever do anything.ReplyDelete
Can you elaborate on what you mean by "not once during my trial period did it ever do anything"? I'm guessing you're asking for BlackBerry browser integration, which as has been stated in previous comments is impossible in current versions of BlackBerry OS. We have high hopes of being able to support this in BlackBerry OS 5.0, though.ReplyDelete
As the proud owner of a BlackBerry, I am excited to use this application. I don't have enough information yet on my LastPass account because I have not figured out what are my most important files from my PC, which I will need access to throughout the day. I am glad that BlackBerry is coming up with new features to stay competitive with Apple. Blackberry could use some more apps and connections to other cloud computing sites as well.ReplyDelete

Works on my daughter's Curve 8520. Unfortunately, as it's premium, it'll be for test purposes only.ReplyDelete
there ever going to be a "lite" version & not just trial?ReplyDelete

Rachel Wilmoth '14 has been selected as a Fulbright fellowship alternate. If funded, Rachel's project will be research into the mechanical and structural properties of sea urchin teeth on the nano-scale to understand their self-sharpening technique. Tests available at the Nanomechanical Research Lab at the University of Auckland in New Zealand will allow Rachel to investigate ways to replicate self-sharpening on the macro-scale to improve the sharpness of tools such as knives or drill bits.
Stepanus Widjaja '14 writes, "Got a job offer at Lumenous Device Technologies in Sunnyvale, providing high-precision medical device fabrication services."
Lia Vosti '14 was recently profiled in the St. Helena Star. Vosti plans to move to Minneapolis, Minnesota, a hub for biomedical device companies, and work in the biotech industry. She says that one of her most cherished memories at SCU was being part of the swim team. "While my degree in bioengineering can summarize, to some extent, what I have learned in the classroom," she says, "there is no way to quantify what I have learned from my relationships, travels, independence, and so much more these past four years."
Derek Vo, S.J., M.Div. '14 has been ordained a Jesuit priest. Vo, one of 10 siblings, grew up in Vietnam. At 21, seeking to flee the hopelessness of his war-ravaged homeland, he left Vietnam in search of economic opportunity. His quest for a new life took a detour when the boat he was on broke down and he wound up in a refugee camp in Thailand, where he spent the next three years. Arriving in America in 1988, Vo joined family in Oklahoma and enrolled in college, earning a bachelor's degree in computer science from the University of Oklahoma in 1994. After several years working in computer science, he took a new job just outside Dallas, where he joined a Christian Life Community and was exposed for the first time to Ignatian spirituality. Although Vo had considered a vocation to the priesthood when he was young, the events of September 11, 2001, had a profound effect on him. As he watched the Twin Towers fall and feared a similar attack against his hometown, Vo resolved to live a more meaningful life by serving God. After several years of spiritual direction, he joined the Jesuits in 2003. Following the novitiate, Vo was missioned to Saint Louis University for philosophy studies. For his three-year regency assignment, he taught math and computer science at Regis Jesuit High School in Aurora, Colorado, while also supervising the school's photography club. His formation has included three trips back to Vietnam to teach English and philosophy, work with the poor and offer retreats. For the last three years, Vo has been studying at the Jesuit School of Theology of Santa Clara University in Berkeley, California, where he earned a Master of Divinity degree while also serving as a chaplain at San Quentin State Prison. The work at San Quentin was particularly gratifying because it allowed him to encounter "Christ the prisoner" in the men who help him strip away judgment, prejudice and fear to discover gentle forgiveness. Following ordination, he hopes to work in pastoral ministries.
Gina Stroud '14, of Los Alamos, graduated magnum cum laude and completed the University's Honors Program. She was also inducted into Phi Beta Kappa Society. Stroud will begin her first year at the University of New Mexico School of Medicine.
Meghan Shoven '14 is Santa Clara's new assistant director, Donor Relations. In this role, Meghan will be responsible for enhancing our donor recognition programs at SCU, from creating a new program this fiscal year to recognize loyal donors to developing the structure and benefits of the President's Club, assisting the Planned Giving Team with the Bergin Society, and, longer-term, revitalizing our Founders and Nobili Societies. Meghan will also coordinate donor recognition for capital construction projects, working collaboratively with University Operations.
Christopher J. Schroeder, S.J., M.Div. '14, 32, has been ordained a Jesuit priest. This summer, he will serve at St. Martin de Porres Parish in Belize before returning in the fall to Berkeley to finish his Licentiate in Sacred Theology.
He is the nephew of a Jesuit brother and two diocesan priests, and was born and raised in St. Louis. A product of Catholic education, he attended his local parish grammar school and De Smet Jesuit High School, where he came to know and appreciate Jesuits as teachers, mentors and friends. The Jesuits at De Smet were some of the happiest, most successful people he knew, so after graduating from high school in 2000, Schroeder headed to Saint Louis University, where he started actively discerning his call to the priesthood. Recognizing very early that his call to the Society of Jesus was so strong that he didn't want to wait a moment longer, Schroeder left college after finishing his sophomore year and entered the Jesuits in 2002. After two years at the Jesuit novitiate in St. Paul, Minnesota, he returned to Saint Louis University, where he earned a bachelor's degree in philosophy and humanities and, later, a master's degree in philosophy. During this time, he also spent five months in El Salvador for intensive Spanish language study and to work for Fe y Alegría, a Jesuit network offering education, training programs and development services primarily in Latin America. It was an unforgettable and soul-nourishing experience. For his three-year regency assignment, Schroeder taught theology at Arrupe Jesuit High School in Denver, where he also directed the school's Kairos retreat program. Missioned next to the Jesuit School of Theology of Santa Clara University in Berkeley, California, Schroeder earned a Master of Divinity degree while serving as a deacon at San Quentin State Prison. The experience of providing spiritual direction to incarcerated men has been transformative, he says, and has helped fortify his own spiritual life.
Nathan W. O'Halloran, S.J., M.Div. '14, 32, has been ordained a Jesuit priest. He grew up on The Lord's Ranch, a Catholic lay community founded in 1975 in a small, rural southern New Mexico border town. The son of Catholic missionaries who met and married at The Lord's Ranch, O'Halloran and his seven siblings were home-schooled, which provided the opportunity for the children to help milk the cows, feed the livestock and cultivate the vegetables on the working ranch. Frequently, O'Halloran would cross the border into Mexico for prison ministry and to distribute produce from the ranch to the poor of Juarez. Profoundly influenced by the work of Jesuit Father Richard Thomas, founder of The Lord's Ranch, O'Halloran began considering a vocation to the priesthood at an early age, although his vocation to the Society of Jesus remained unclear until later on. After graduating from Franciscan University of Steubenville in Ohio, where O'Halloran earned bachelor's degrees in philosophy and theology, he entered the Jesuits in 2003 at the Jesuit novitiate in Grand Coteau, Louisiana. Missioned next to Fordham University in the Bronx, New York, O'Halloran earned a master's degree in philosophy in 2008. For his three-year regency assignment, O'Halloran taught Greek and theology at Jesuit High School of New Orleans while also coaching the school's Ultimate Frisbee team to the state finals. O'Halloran was then missioned to the Jesuit School of Theology of Santa Clara University in Berkeley, California, where he earned a Master of Divinity degree and a Licentiate in Sacred Theology while also working as a chaplain at an AIDS hospice and serving as a deacon at Our Lady of Lourdes Church in Oakland, California. O'Halloran credits the pro-life work of The Lord's Ranch with saving the lives of many babies, including his two adopted siblings, Caleb and Rebekah. He hopes to continue this work in his future ministries.
Erik McAdams '14 has been selected as Fulbright fellowship alternate. If funded, Erik's project will address rural poverty in earthquake-prone Ecuador by analyzing the structural characteristics of houses in remote villages. He has been an active team leader for an engineering project in Uganda on solar panels and very involved in SCU's chapter of Engineers Without Borders, where he helped design a water distribution grid for a rural town in Honduras.
Natalie Lays '14, has won a Fulbright fellowship to be an English Teaching Assistant in Brazil, where her passion for other cultures and interest in global medicine will enrich the new experiences as a teaching assistant. After interning for five weeks in Brazil this past summer, Natalie was inspired by the dynamic culture and forward-looking mentality of the Brazilians she worked alongside. She anticipates that the Fulbright experience will help her pursue her vocation.
Claire Kunkle '14 is a recipient of a National Science Foundation Research Fellowship Award. Claire, who was trained in the lab of Dr. Hohyun Lee in the SCU Department of Mechanical Engineering, will be attending UC Berkeley in Fall 2014 to pursue a Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering with an emphasis in Energy and Thermal Science. She is interested in designing energy systems to benefit developing nations and hopes to use the fellowship to participate in local and international research. Ultimately, Claire wants to use her Ph.D. in academia as a professor and inspire future engineers towards their dreams.
Joey Eisenberg '14 is the new assistant director, Chapters & Groups, Alumni Relations, at Santa Clara. He graduated from this past June with a degree in political science. He and his family are from Bellevue, Wash., so he is eager to hit the ground running with our Pacific Northwest Chapters! Eisenberg studied journalism and news media at American University while interning for a semester in Washington, D.C. (another chapter he will manage). He was an orientation leader, search retreat leader with Campus Ministry, and a member of Associated Student Government during his time on campus.
Benjamin Damaree '14 received a 2014 West Coast Conference Postgraduate Scholarship. To be eligible, a student-athlete must have a minimum cumulative GPA of 3.25, demonstrate significant athletic contributions to his or her sport for a minimum of two years, and have a record of participation in campus or community activities. He or she also must submit a personal statement of intention to attend graduate or professional school for which this scholarship would be awarded.
Sara Broyles '14 writes, "I can't believe I just graduated! I'm so thankful for my amazing experience at SCU. Now it's time to enter the 'real world.' I move into my new apartment at the end of June and I start my full-time job in July—I'll be working at a PR agency in San Francisco. I couldn't be more grateful for all that Santa Clara has done for me. I feel confident in myself knowing that I have a solid foundation that will prepare me for the workforce and the rest of my life! Even as an official alumna, I know it's always a great day to be a Bronco."

This summer, Jack Bird '14 traveled to Mexico, where he created an agroforestry program guide similar to one he produced the summer before in Zambia. He then went to Korea, where he presented a paper on the guide that he produced in Zambia.
Bird double majored in environmental science and political science at Santa Clara. He was a member of the Phi Beta Kappa national honors society, a participant in the honors program, and a Pi Sigma Alpha, a political-science honor society. He had the honor of being the recipient of the Nobili Award for outstanding male student.

Byrd: The Complete Keyboard Music
7CDs Boxed set (at a special price)CDS44461/7
Track 5 on CDS44461/7 CD3 [7'51] 7CDs Boxed set (at a special price)
Each work is a hexachord fantasia, a form of abstract monothematic keyboard composition. Morley comments on the hexachord that 'we commonly call [it] the sixe notes, or ut, re, mi, fa, sol, la' (PEIPM, preface 'To the curteous reader'). These names of the first six notes of the major scale are traditionally derived from the opening syllables of the hymn UT queant laxis, REsonare fibris, MIra gestorum, FAmuli tuorum, SOLve poluti, LAbii reatum, although in the seventeenth century writers such as Playford also linked them with the elegant Latin hexameter verse UT RElivet MIserum FAtum SOLitumque LAborem.
Extremely simple early settings for keyboard are known by (John?) White and by Nicolas Strogers (probably written in the 1560s), but Byrd's pieces appear to be the first known extended compositions of this kind. He also wrote another playful work on the 'sixe notes', for three hands on one keyboard and incorporating popular tunes (BK58). The form seems to have developed in the British Isles and passed from there to the Continent. Highly developed Ut, re, mi, fa, sol, la settings were much favoured by composers of the next generation, including a partially canonic one by John Lugge, two works by Bull, four by Tomkins (as well as an extended piece based on Ut, mi, re) and one by Farnaby that cunningly disguises the theme in the minor. Continental composers later took up the idea, as may be seen from keyboard works by du Caurroy, Cornet, Frescobaldi, Froberger (a magnificent Fantasia, published by Kircher in 1650, and copied out by Mozart), Guillet, Hassler, Scheidt and Sweelinck; two complete elaborate settings of the Ordinary of the Mass were based on the hexachord by the Catalan composer Francisco Valls (Missa Scala Aretina, 1702, and Missa regalis, 1740).
Byrd's majestic Ut, re, mi, fa, sol, la is based on the rising and then descending 6-note scale (or hexachord). Morley calls conjunct motion of the notes of the rising and falling hexachord 'continuall deduction' (PEIPM, p 7). Here, since the work is in G (Mixolydian mode), the pitches are at first G, A, B, C, D, E and E, D, C, B, A, G, heard in long notes, but other pitches are heard later; each rise and fall is therefore a six-note phrase. The first entry occurs in the soprano.
Quite early on in this long piece (at bar 62), Byrd introduces a cheerful popular tune from the Low Countries (identified recently by Oliver Hirsh), known on the Continent as the Bruynsmedelijn. In Italy it was known as the 'Flemish Bass'; Frescobaldi, some fifty years after Byrd, bases his Capriccio sopra la Bassa Fiamenga (1624) on the same melody.
It would be hard to exaggerate the revolutionary nature of this piece which so willfully departs from the G mode in a harmonic journey the likes of which had not been heard before in English music. The extraordinary climax of the work, right at the centre of the construction, is a series of entries in the soprano that themselves begin each on one note higher in the scale and push the music into uncharted harmonic territory: the sixth entry of the hexachord starts on F, the seventh on G, then A, then B flat, and finally C. This tenth entry leads Byrd to the highest note of his keyboard (top A). By the end of this climactic central paragraph, since the music has returned to more normal harmonic territory, rapid scales and dance rhythms can break out.
In the other work, the lively Ut, mi, re, the progress up and down the 6-note scale is playfully distracted by the systematic interpolation of notes a third higher, giving what Morley calls 'the notes in disjunct deduction' (PEIPM, p 7). The altered rising and falling hexachords become G-B, A-C, B-D, C-E and E-C, D-B, C-A, B-G, each rise and fall being broken into four pairs (rather than the 6-note phrases in the other work). Such alternating versions of the hexachord occur in several other theory books of the period, beside Morley (for example, this exact ut, mi, re is found in the Instruction methodique by Cornelius Blockfort [Corneille de Montfort], Lyon, 1571, p 16; see also Playford, A Brief Introduction to the Skill of Musick, 1654, p 20).
Since in this work the hexachord usually starts and ends on chords of G major (another striking difference with the Ut, re, mi, fa, sol, la), the effect is harmonically calm on the keyboard due to the unequal temperament (in which G is a gentle key). The rhythms of each statement, on the other hand, change quite a lot (unlike in the Ut, re, mi, fa, sol, la). Most of the variations climax in the middle on the harmonically richer chord of E major. The perpetually varied journey towards this creates ever-renewed harmonic tensions that are much strengthened by the temperament. All this gives the work an unexpected force. Byrd's main interest in this early piece is rhythmic interplay. Against the steady Ut, mi, re melody, an astonishing variety of counterpointed cross-rhythms deliberately creates confusion until, at the end, a majestic final statement re-establishes order.
Unlike in the Ut, re, mi, fa, sol, la, the statements of the theme are generally separated as if they were separate variations (at least at the opening). The variation-like character makes the work a useful means of displaying different registrations on the organ. Or perhaps it is the other way round: the varied registrations possible on the organ help make audible the structures of both these remarkable works. It was Plato who maintained that 'beauty is form made visible'.

We have thought for some time that Ms Mila Kunis is the sexiest gal in the whole wide world, but now it has been made official thanks to FHM Mag. Last year X Factor judge Tulisa was number one in the 100 Sexiest Women In The World list, but this year Mila bagged the number one spot. Yep Mila is even sexier than Rihanna who came second and Cheryl Cole who came in at number nine.
As for Britain's sexiest, the gong went to Corrie star Helen Flanagan who was named Britain's Sexiest Woman by FHM readers. This year there were more UK entrants than ever before as 53 out of the 100 women are from the UK, but Kate Middleton dropped off the top 100 this year, leaving Pippa to represent the Middleton's at the number 58 spot.
Mila is used to the 'sexy' label by now, as she was crowned as the sexiest woman alive by Esquire last year. FHM 100 Sexiest Editor, Dan Jude said: 'Not only is [Mila] naturally stunning, but she has a great sense of humour and isn't afraid to poke fun at herself. 'The nation has spoken, and the verdict is that she is officially the perfect girlfriend.'
So let's go through the evidence to see if Ms Mila Kunis really IS the best girlfriend on the planet. Firstly Mila has bagged one of the sexiest men alive, Ashton Kutcher. Then she gets extra points because she wears barely any make up and STILL looks hawt hawt hawt. She also drinks pints - and we're talking about pints of actual beer, not pear cider. She got massive lad points in that interview with Radio 1 where she agreed she would go to Nandos, down pints in a local pub and chatted about Baywatch.
But it's not just the boys who have a little thing for Mila, as she is also our ultimate girl crush. She always has perfect red carpet beauty and has access to some of the most breathtakingly beautiful couture. Remember the lilac Elie Saab lace dress she wore to the Oscars in 2011? Or the tulle Dolce dress she wore to the premiere of Oz the Great and Powerful? Check out Mila's greatest style hits in the gallery below...

Dear members,
Thank you, NarutoBase Staff
Madara plotted to kill Rin ... to obtain obito... Nahhh just went to my head.... but still a good chapter... kishi awesome....
Getting tired of all this long flash backs, wanna see real actions...
Secondly, did madara create Zestu outa that tree. Madara is still a misery to me.
i think not only madara tried to kill rin but he also tried to kill kakashi. rin probably sacrificed herself so kakashi can escape. obito probably saw kakashi fled from the scene and he automatically assumed that kakashi left rin to die when it was actually her choice to stay

And that's just part of the long list of twisted crimes he has done under the allows "Tobi"/"Madara". He means buisness. Also I predict Initial will kill kakashi "for real this time" and NARUTO will just LOOSE IT.
completely agree men, there's no way he can turn good , he did commit alot of crimes, I , think obito & kakashi will somehow die together & team minato will rest in peace

I also started thinking that Madara probably had Rin killed... Madara knew Obito wanted to get back to her, so what better way to manipulate Obito than through his love for her... As most of you should know, that seems to be the premise of Naruto.. Love breeds hate.
So Madara could have had Rin killed in order to plant the seed of hate into Obito, therefore bending Obito's will to Madaras.
I'd like to see this come true, and Obito find out then release his "Slapa*****" nojutsu all over Madaras face.!
Didn't they already come out and say that Tobi is Izuna still?....I thought it was that the old man was actually Izuna and not Madara, and that the rest so far is not explained. I would think that Izuna takes control of Obito's body.
Obito will probably come to his senses eventually and sacrifice himself to save Kakashi from Madara. Madara will become so strong that Sasuke will get his ass whooped near death and have to pass his eyes to Naruto in order for Naruto to become the new SO6P. This will be the only way that he can redeem himself. This is my prediction.

i think everything has become more interesting,most especially knowing tobi's secret and his connection with madara.what i think about the next manga is that tobi will become more powerful.
I think maybe madara will end up in tobi's dimension, that's how he'll be defeated..
Key sentences out of this chapter i think are:
"our vocabulary and brain are also superior"
"even revive the dead"

man!!!! this obito flashback filler stuff is starting to get phuckin boring ..... stmo
The way he tried walking when the other half of his body is not healed yet.... T____________________________________________T
So he saved Kakashi and Rin at some point?
I think that's how he will see Rin die because Kakashi didn't protect her... just a possibility.
Can't wait for next chapter! D

Also why did they let him out? They werent supposed to do that, or were they when kakashi and rin get "attacked"? Also where is madara? He was in the corner but he isnt there anymore, doesnt he die when he gets detached from the statue?
Also on a separate note, doesnt naruto remind you of obito? Same stubborness, love triangle, haircut, love for comrades, childishness and immaturity and blurting out? I think there are a lot of paralells much like in the sannin. Getting very interesting, also who is black zetsu? Theories anyone?
I think why they mean is simply... "We are baby sitting you!" so some how they would have to be better than Obito in some respects. It could be trust or some other things. My question is... What color are these two guys?? Cause Obito asked them "Where is the other white guy?" so there are 3 Zetsu at this point of the story. What happened to them???
Maybe Obito ends up killing Rin himself by some mistake. I doubt she'll recognize him in that zetsu body (they think he's dead anyway), maybe she attacks and he defends himself, accidentally killing her. That would explain why he changed, why he thinks this reality is so bad, and why he doesn't seem to really hold it against Kakashi. He did it himself.
this is how i think its going to go down, obito will rush to were rin/kakashi are, and they will be overwhelmed by a big group of ninjas or something like that, rin will sacrifice herself for kakashi and tell him to run and save himeslf because its already to late for her, obito will arrive right after rin dies or something and see kakashi running away and he will go insane and blame kakashi for rins death, that is when he will go back to madara and want to help him, madara will say something to obito like " if you help me realize my vision of Infinite Tsukuyomi you can make that world anyway you want.. even bring "her" back to life. and that is what will change obitos mind and make him want to be madaras pupil,
just a idea, dont get upset if you dont agree
Kishi cant wait to see where sasuke and Oro are going ..... Just got 1 question for you kishi why madara didnt use the susanoo perfect form when he and hashi fight?
The 3rd white Zetsu and another are attacking Kakashi and Rin, but don't necessarily expect to harm them -- just absorb their chakra. Kakashi and Rin are long gone before Obito gets to where the battle occured. By this time, Zetsu is impersonating Kakashi and Rin and causing the Rin-Zetsu to die while the Kakashi-Zetsu runs away angering Obito starting him down his current path. Zetsu was really milking Obito for information during the training so he could be manipulated. We will later find out that the real Rin is still alive, but Kakashi has kept her in hiding or changed her identity after the Zetsu attack in order to keep his promise to Obito.
Similar to what some other people are saying, Obito's Zetsu suit manipulates him and affects his mind driving him further down the evil path. Meanwhile, Rin has dropped off the grid and even Kakashi doesn't know where she is. All the while, special high-level sage training has allowed her to have the ability to know things, kind of like Naruto's sage mode, but more focused. The scroll that Suigetsu found revealed her existence and that Orochimaru was involved in hiding and training her, which is why Sasuke needed to revive him to find "the one who knows everything".
After meeting up with Sasuke they all show up on the battlefield. Rin's sudden presence confuses and distracts Obito who is then mortally wounded by Kakashi (who is also gravely injured). The combination of Naruto's TnJ and the truth of Rin's survival cause Obito to pull a Darth Vader on Madara before he dies. Madara retaliates, but Rin tries to defend Obito. Team Minato is reunited as they die together on the battlefield. However, Madara is severely weakened allowing Naruto and the Konoha 11 to overcome him in an epic battle before he regenerates.
Sasuke, because he's Sasuke, decides he still wants revenge for some obscure reason and assumes control of the Gedou Mazou statue during the confusion of the battle and uses it to occupy the allied shinobi force. Sasuke wages a devastating 1-on-1 battle with Naruto who uses his recently upgraded TnJ on Sasuke followed by intense flashback action. The fight ends with a typical Naruto-biju-dama / Sasuke-susano'o-infused-chidori clash.
... kind of a longshot, but Rin being alive would be a pretty unexpected twist.
Why did I have a 'Black suit Spiderman' feeling when he put that Zetsu suit on
this chapter is awesome

i too have the same thought
:confused:Somebody wrote on here that the mask with swirls is his first mask. The story seems to be leaning towards that but I remember with the fight with minato he had a totally different mask and around the time when itachi met him during the slaugter he had a different mask then too as well.
I don't know if this has been posted but I think the spiraly zetsu sometimes appear as "Tobi". In 358 page 9 you will see Tobi burying mines for Deidara.

Notice how he smashes through the ground? Zetsu doesn't do this (as far as I'm aware).
Though it's not a bad thought that it could happen in places, we know he could, he did it for Kisame very well.
I say he, I should probably say it :/

Migrants moving from Mexico to the United States represent the world's largest migration corridor, and the two countries have a long, complicated history with respect to immigration. Previously a country of emigration, Mexico increasingly has been experiencing new roles: as a country of transmigration and increasingly of settlement. The research here examines Mexico's relationship with its vast diaspora in the United States; the economic, insecurity, and other factors that have led to sizeable emigration; and the country's evolving policymaking with respect to migration.
Find relevant MPI resources on the child migration crisis—from research, articles, and public briefings that analyze the trends and policy developments surrounding the recent uptick in migration of unaccompanied minors to data on Central American immigrant populations and country profiles of El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras—all in one place. Click here.
Both of the leading presidential candidates said during the campaign that Mexico needed to create more and better jobs to stem migration - but their approaches to the problem differ. Susan Gzesh of the University of Chicago reports.
Little is known about Americans who have retired to Latin America. MPI's David Dixon, Julie Murray, and Julia Gelatt examine the U.S. retiree population in Mexico and Panama by looking at census and visa data as well as by interviewing American retirees in various communities.
With so much political attention focused on the southern border, the MPI staff has updated this guide to regional population numbers, border crossings, border enforcement, and the economic ties between the United States and Mexico.
Since the 1980s, Mexico has become home to Guatemalan refugees and served as a transit country for Central Americans seeking to reach the United States. Manuel Ángel Castillo of El Colegio de México analyzes Mexico's policies toward its southern neighbors.
Many migratory streams from Central America — including refugees, economic migrants, and transit flows headed north from South America and elsewhere — have converged in North America since the 1980s. Sarah J. Mahler and Dusan Ugrina of Florida International University outline the region's main trends.
Migrant-sending and migrant-receiving countries rarely collaborate on migration issues because the structure of global migration systems ensures they often disagree about core policy issues. This report shows that migration collaboration makes sense when states share common goals they cannot achieve on their own.
This edited volume examines the development impact of diasporas in six critical areas: entrepreneurship, capital markets, "nostalgia" trade and "heritage" tourism, philanthropy, volunteerism, and advocacy.
This report provides an overview of diaspora advocacy by looking at five issues: who participates in diaspora advocacy, who or what are the "targets" in these efforts, what means are used to advance these causes, what are the issues on which they focus, and the effectiveness of the efforts.
This report explores how nostalgia trade and heritage tourism can involve diaspora populations in transactions that ease the integration of their homeland economies, while helping maintain their ties to their countries of origin or ancestry.
This report analyzes the evolving role of diaspora philanthropy in countries of origin, and examines the emergence of nongovernmental development actors and new trends in global philanthropy, such as strategic giving and use of online platforms to harness small donations.
Nearly 1 million U.S. residents spend time volunteering abroad each year, including nearly 200,000 first- and second-generation immigrants. As skilled migration and the number of U.S. youth with ancestors in the developing world grow, this report shows the potential for diaspora service volunteers to assist with development in a number of countries.
A growing body of evidence suggests that diasporas play a critical role in supporting sustainable development by transferring resources, knowledge, and ideas back to their home countries, and in integrating their countries of origin into the global economy.
Breakfast briefing with T. Alexander Aleinikoff, Demetrios G. Papademetriou, and Kathleen Newland.

The travel pro's preferred tool for comparing and booking ground transport service in Spain for places like Malaga, Madrid, Seville, Barcelona, and all other provinces and cities in Spain. Plan your chauffeured services like airport transportation, limousine service, taxi reservation and coach or minibus hire in Spain with no need to make any phone calls.
Get quotes and make reservations with local service providers for private and group ground transportation without the need for sending emails or making phone calls. Complete the form below to receive quotes for airport transport and bus hire in Spain.
We created our website with the intention of connecting you directly with transportation and travel service operators in Spain and the rest of the world. We list bus rental companies, taxi and airport transportation companies, and luxury-car-with-driver operators, such as limousine or classic car services.
Although we primary target travel professionals like tour operators and travel agents we also welcome private parties to search and reserve transportation on our site.
As one of the world's leading tourist and event destinations, Spain has a well developed transportation infrastructure for both tourists and business travelers.
Ground transportation by private and chauffeured coaches or busses have a long tradition and with almost 4000 bus rental companies in a total of about 8000 locations (different cities/villages/other places) we can say that Spain has 1 coach hire company for every 2 destinations. Although most of the bus operators focus their business on students, worker transportation (business commuters), and bus lines, in the last couple of years an increasing percentage of them are shifting part of their attention towards the tourist market. Traditional fleets with nothing but large 50-seat busses are being replaced with smaller vehicles for small and medium-sized tour groups. Quite a few bus rental operators in Madrid and Barcelona also include as part of their service 'black car' and taxi service. Use our reservation tool to get competitive quotes for transport services like coach hire in Spain.
In spite of the fact that Spain has more than 45 airports, there are very few companies that specialize specifically in transportation to and from airports. Most private transportation to and from airports is done by either 'black car' service or by reserved taxis.
Except from cities like Barcelona and Madrid, you won't see a large quantity of luxury cars driving executives around. Of course, every provincial capital in Spain has a few limo-renting companies, but a lot of them advertise themselves as wedding-car companies with a selection of classic and antique luxury cars.
While prices for taxi rides in Spain have increased since the introduction of the euro (€), compared to other European countries taking a taxi is still relatively cheap. This might be the reason that, according to the site El Economista, cities in Spain like Barcelona, Madrid, and Tenerife have twice as many taxis available than the average European city.
Although public transportation might be less developed than other European countries, it's still good, relatively cheap, and reaching farther into the rural areas every day.
Trains: High speed trains (AVE) are connecting the important routes like Madrid –Zaragoza- Lerida-Barcelona, reducing travel time between Madrid and Barcelona to 2 hours and 45 minutes from downtown to downtown. From Madrid heading southbound one can reach Malaga in just 2 hours and 25 minutes. By using these high speed trains, groups visiting Spain can make 'local' tours in areas like Madrid, Catalonia, and Andalusia by hired coach and move from city to city in just a few hours by train. No need for long bus rides or getting to and from airports. AVE trains stations are located in downtown areas where you can be picked up by a local coach hire or transportation company. Of course, there is an extensive network of regional and national trains covering a large part of Spain, including the famous Talgo trains. As this traditional train system travels at a slower speed, they are suitable for tourists with more time at their disposal.
With Spain's more than 45 airports and lots of connecting national flights, groups could also move around easily by plane. Flying might be interesting for those groups that want to tour both the Barcelona –Catalonia area and the cities of Andalusia. The route between Barcelona and Malaga is almost 1000 km (620 miles), so flying can save you a long day in a bus.
If you're moving between Valencia or Barcelona and the Balearic Islands or between any of the Canary Islands you might consider taking a ferry. Getting there by boat has its charm and is less stressful than flying. The slow speed of the boat, the view of the sea, the coast disappearing and after some time reappearing can create a real holiday feeling. Once you get bored of looking at the seagulls, you have time to read your book and to plan what to do up on arrival. Ferries are surely the best option for those traveling at a limited budget and often the best in terms of planning movements between islands.
We launched our website and service in the beginning of 2011 in Barcelona and at that time our only product was coach rentals. Later we discovered that quite a lot of our associated bus rental companies also have smaller vehicles that they use for airport shuttling and taxi service. Because our clients have also been asking for smaller vehicles to transport small groups to and from the airport or just for short taxi services, we recently decided to include those in our directory.
It will take some time before we can extend our service to all types of chauffeured transportation and have cover the whole of Spain, but in the mean time you can contact our customer service if receiving a quote for your transport needs is taking too long.
Are you responsible for sales or marketing for a private chauffeured transportation company? Promote your chauffeured rental company for free! Create a company profile with your full fleet information, relevant pictures, and text. Get a back link to your own website and receive quote requests from tourism professionals and private clients.
