Cyber Armies Brute Force POS Systems
Los Angeles, California - July 8, 2014
IntelCrawler, a cyber threat intelligence firm from Los Angeles, has identified a malicious automated network that targets Point-of-Sale software using infected computers from around the world. The underground bot army, using the project name "@-Brt", is using thousands of peaceful and unsuspecting infected users to brute force Point-of-Sales systems in an attempt to steal login credentials.
This increased trend during the past two months has been in a stealth mode since the bot activities have successfully slide under the radar of both the end user and the targeted merchants. Previous threat intelligence notifications by IntelCrawler confirmed that the interest of cybercriminals to offline and online (cloud-based / SaaS) Point-of-Sales has increased significantly of late as the use of automation and bots increases their chances of finding another gold mine like Target.
Pic.1 – Administrative Interface of "@-Brt" project
Pic.2 – The bad actor defines his own list of credentials and subnets for POS scanning
The "@-Brt" project was released in May 2014 in the underground as a specific type of malware for brute forcing the Point-of-Sale credentials, using collected indicators like subnet IP ranges and commonly used operators, supervisor, and back office administrator logins, some of which are default manufactures passwords for famous Point-of-Sale equipment, as conveniently described in the official technical documentation from particular vendors.
Pic.3 – Listing of successfully compromised POS terminals located in the US
The bad actors distribution of the "@-Brt" botnet allows for active scanning of multiple IPv4 network ranges of specific TCP ports and parallel brute forcing of available remote administration protocols such as VNC, Microsoft RDP and PCAnywhere. The identified malware supports multithreading, which allows to speed-up the process of gaining unauthorized access to merchants for further data theft. IntelCrawler has also detected within the bot the concentration of some compromised merchants and the massive IPv4 scanning in network ranges of famous US Internet Service Providers such as AT&T Internet Services, Sonic.net and SoftLayer Technologies. There are several modifications of the "@-Brt" project, supported by several cybercriminals, using a bit different approaches to parallelism, potentially written by different authors for speed and timeouts optimization. After monitoring and infiltrating the bot network, IntelCrawler's analysts have figured out the most commonly used passwords for compromised Point-of-Sale terminals and geographical distribution of the infected hosts for cyberattacks.
Passwords distribution showed leaders with very low entropy – "aloha12345" (13%), "micros" (10%), pos12345 (8%), "posadmin" (7%) and "javapos" (6.30%). IntelCrawler recommends to strengthen passwords used for POS terminals, as well as to monitor suspicious incoming network traffic from the following countries:

research guide
editors & contributors
write the editor
The works of García Lorca, internationally recognized as Spain's most prominent lyric poet and dramatist of the twentieth century, are filled with thinly veiled homosexual motifs and themes.
There has always been homosexual involvement in American musical theatre and a homosexual sensibility even in straight musicals, and recently the Broadway musical has welcomed openly homosexual themes and situations.
Best known for his genius in art and architecture, Michelangelo was also an accomplished author of homoerotic poetry.
The African-American gay male literary tradition consists of a substantial body of texts and includes some of the most gifted writers of the twentieth century.
Combining elements of incongruity, theatricality, and exaggeration, camp is a form of humor that helps homosexuals cope with a hostile environment.
Langston Hughes, whose literary legacy is enormous and varied, was closeted, but homosexuality was an important influence on his literary imagination, and many of his poems may be read as gay texts.
James Baldwin, a pioneering figure in twentieth-century literature, wrote sustained and articulate challenges to American racism and mandatory heterosexuality.
Oscar Wilde is important both as an accomplished writer and as a symbolic figure who exemplified a way of being homosexual at a pivotal moment in the emergence of gay consciousness.

David Boies, co-counsel in the Proposition 8 case, expresses frustration at the delays in rulings from the California Supreme Court and the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals. Meanwhile, Brazil's Supreme Court rules in favor of same-sex marriage and Denmark's governing coalition announces plans to legalize same-sex marriage, and a Republican-controlled committee in the New Hampshire House of Representatives votes to repeal gay marriage there.
On October 23, 2011, David Boies, co-counsel in the American Foundation for Equal Rights case challenging the constitutionality of California's Proposition 8, officiated at the high-profile wedding of Bill White and David Eure at New York's Four Seasons restaurant. The wedding, whose guests included Barbara Walters, Joel Grey, Gayle King, New York City Council Speaker Christine Quinn, former New York City Mayor David Dinkins, and former Governor David Patterson, featured entertainment by Aretha Franklin.
At the wedding, Boies commented that the struggle for marriage equality was the United States' last great civil rights battle and expressed great frustration over the slowness of the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, which is waiting for a ruling on a question of standing from the California Supreme Court, to issue a decision in the case, which was originally filed in May 2009 and has been on appeal since Judge Vaughn Walker declared Proposition 8 unconstitutional on August 4, 2010.
"We still don't have a decision," Boies said. "Every day, people's constitutional rights are being restricted."
On October 25, 2011, Brazil's Supreme Court ruled in favor of marriage equality. In a case brought by a lesbian couple who had been denied the right to marry in Rio Grande do Sul state, the court ruled 4-1 that the Constitution "makes it possible for stable civil unions to become marriages" and that "sexual orientation should not serve as a pretext for excluding families from the legal protection that marriage represents."
The decision is a victory for the couple who brought the suit, but it does not mandate same-sex marriage throughout the country. However, legal experts say that the Supreme Court ruling will play a significant role in discouraging Brazil's states from blocking same-sex marriage.
On October 21, 2011, Denmark's newly installed coalition government announced that it will introduce legislation to authorize same-sex marriage and to permit same-sex weddings in the Church of Denmark.
"The first same-sex weddings will hopefully become reality in Spring 2012. I look forward to the moment the first homosexual couple steps out of the church. I'll be standing out there throwing rice," the new church minister, Manu Sareen, a Social Liberal, remarked.
In 1989, Denmark became the first country in the world to permit same-sex civil unions, known as registered partnerships. The registered partnerships convey all the financial benefits and civil rights enjoyed by heterosexual couples, but the law bars church ceremonies and the use of the term marriage.
In 1997, the Church of Denmark began blessing same-sex partnerships. However, despite the fact that 69% of the Danish public favors same-sex marriage, church officials are expected to oppose the new legislation authorizing same-sex church weddings.
Meanwhile, in the United States, the Republican-controlled Judiciary Committee of the New Hampshire House of Representatives voted 11-6 on October 25, 2011 to advance a bill that would repeal the state's marriage equality law and replace it with a form of civil unions.
The measure would eliminate all future same-sex marriages and instead allow unmarried adults, including relatives, to enter into civil unions. The proposed civil unions law would be open to any two adults and would let anyone refuse to recognize the unions. It also would allow anyone to discriminate against the couples in employment, housing, and public accommodations based on religious or moral beliefs.
The full House is expected to vote on the bill early next year. It would then head to the Senate for consideration. Republicans control both houses of the New Hampshire legislature.
However, polls have shown that large majorities in the state support marriage equality, and Governor John Lynch, a Democrat, has vowed to veto the repeal attempt.

A perfect place in a perfect location! Just steps away from the ocean. This adorable little bungalow will exceed all your expectations and surpass your needs. You can goto bed with the sound of the waves lapping against the shore...
I was lucky to stay here for three weeks and nearly cried when leaving.
Krista was exceedingly helpful, cheerful, and wonderful.
I can't wait for an excuse to return!
Dolphin Bay Cottage is a lovely quaint open concept hideaway tucked amongst lush flowering trees and shrubs that delight the eye. The location is superb. Only a two minute walk past scented plumeria bushes to the crystal clear waters of Kealakekua Bay where we snorkelled with a multitude of irridescent colored fish that combed the coral reefs. Another day we rented a double kayak just down the road and paddled to Capt. Cook Monument on the other side of the bay where we encountered a pod of playful dolphins. It took a few minutes to drive down the road to the next bay at The Place of Refuge which was fascinating. We saw a rare Monk Seal languishing on the sand of an ancient village.
A truly magical and beautiful place to relax and rejuvenate.
Thank you Martha and Leonard for sharing this wonderful place.
About the Host, Martha
We love being able to share Dolphin Bay Cottage with travelers from all over the world who find their way to this magical place of outstanding beauty. We think you will enjoy the fabulous water, weather, lush vegetation, friendly folks and beauty of this very special neighborhood as much as we do.
Imagine how we delighted we are to be able to hop out of bed to take a sunrise walk to the beach or a sunset walk to cap off the day. Of course being able to easily snorkel anytime is also pretty fantastic! We feel this corner of the world is truly paradise.

It's July. It's summer leg season. That is to me what the start of deer and duck season are to hunters. Only, yes, that's not my gun, I'm just damn glad to see hot legs. Like those on Taylor Swift. Say what you will about Taylor Swift the girlfriend person, but there's no denying Taylor has some of the finest, longest legs in all of Celebrityville. I guess she was born with the hot leg genes, and then adds some solid workout and regular dancing. The net effect are a pair of gams that are simply show stoppers on the streets of New York in a pair of shorts.
Make no mistake about it, Taylor knows dam well hot damn hot she looks flashing her toned stems. She may look demure, but she's probably got a clicker in her pocket she's pressing every time she sees prurient eyeballs gazing at her long body on display. I respect that clicker. I'd like her to press it over and over as I sunscreen her legs. Yes, write a nasty song about me, I don't care, I'm going in. Enjoy.

My inspirations come from various things - my travel, my mood, the seasons, and what's fresh on the markets and streets in the city.
The first fresh lot of lychees have hit the market and on my usual way to work I spotted a cart with a whole mountain of this juicy, lovely fruit, which brings back memoirs of slurping down that sweet floral goodnes.
I use lychees in mad ways - combine them with miso paste and make a lychee miso glaze for lobsters or make an awesome quick sweet spicy chaat as well. It make a great kachumber with chillies, onions, tomatoes, coriander and a dash of lemon juice to it.
The lychee is the sole member of the genus Litchi in the soapberry family. It is a tropical and subtropical fruit tree native to provinces of China but now cultivated in other countries. Our best lychees come from Muzzafarpur, Palghat and Himachal pradesh.
The fresh fruit has a "delicate, white pulp" with a floral smell and a fragrant, sweet flavour.
China is the main producer, followed by India. In fact the BARC have found a way to preserve, protect and increase shelf life of the delicate fruit for export, which has pleased our growers. And this year the crop has been abundant and of good quality.
The lychee has a history and cultivation going back to 2000 BC. Legend has it that an Emperor of the Tang Dynasty lost his throne because his insisted on having fresh lychees delivered to his concubine on a regular basis - at great cost to the Chinese people.
A good suggestion is to buy a good lot and prepare this delicious Ginger Lychee syrup and drizzle it over some ice cream to combat this heat wave.
Ginger lychee syrup
500ml (2 cups) water
215g (1 cup) caster sugar
2 cm-piece fresh ginger, peeled, cut into thin matchsticks
500g lychees, peeled
Vanilla ice-cream, to serve
Stir the water and sugar in a small saucepan over medium heat until the sugar dissolves. Add the ginger, bring to the boil. Boil for 10 minutes or until the syrup thickens slightly. Set aside for 10 minutes to cool slightly. Place the lychees in a bowl. Pour over the syrup.
Cover with plastic wrap and place in the fridge until totally chilled. Serve with vanilla ice-cream.
And if you want to get a little more experimental, try the Rawas with Lychee salsa
Rawas, Lychee tomato salsa
180 g Rawas fillet
Salt and pepper to taste
1 tsp lemon juice
1 tbsp olice oil
½ tsp roasted cumin powder
For the salsa
4 each lychees , peeled n diced
1 tbsp chopped onion
1 tbsp chopped tomato
1 tsp chopped chillies
½ tsp minced ginger
1 tbsp olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste
For the broth
2 each baby carrots
1 small head bok choy
1 cup chicken stock
Mix all the ingrdients for the salsa. Chill until needed.
Bring the stock to a gentle simmer and cook the baby carrots & bok choy for four minutes until al dente.
Season the rawas wih salt, pepper, lemon juice and cumin powder. Heat some olive oil in a pan and sear on both sides for three minutes. Serve the fish a top the broth and veggies. Spoon the lychee salsa and relish!

The technologies that detect the presence of unknown substances aren't just for specialized units anymore. More individual police officers are using these devices as they become more advanced, portable, and suitable for everyday use.
Nothing is exactly the same as being in an incident on the street, but today's use-of-force judgment training simulators are getting darn close. And the more experience law enforcement officers have with split-second decision-making in a realistic training setting, the better they'll be at making the right call on duty.
It's difficult to find a police officer—or a person, for that matter—who doesn't use a smartphone or tablet today. While these ubiquitous devices can be used to communicate, watch movies, and play games, they have also become serious work tools that many officers depend on.

As tactical situations demand the most out of a team, it's important to find gear that will help get the job done, ensuring clear communication, comfort, and resilience.
The evolution of tactical headsets has been a significant one. Within the past couple of years alone, we've seen great improvements in technology that affect some of the most important functions of a good unit: strong sound quality, comfort, and resilience.

Not only do social media help agencies establish better community ties, they also provide them with auxiliary networks of support personnel, informants, and sympathetic witnesses.
Night vision tools are less ubiquitous in law enforcement, but as prices fall, they are becoming more common. Yet many law enforcement officers are still confused about what night vision can and can't do and what they need to know before buying it.
By Bob Galvin
Managing evidence is one of law enforcement's most critical tasks. Automating evidence management enables property room personnel to know where their evidence is and why.

During his convalescence, Meo affords some unsettling primal glimpses, e.g., "the pleasure the smell gave himthe smell of shit lite." That shit belongs to Billie, his four-year-old daughter, and the sexual subtext is more than just implied. Father-daughter incest is a hot topic in Yellow Dog, along with "masculine bulk" and patriarchy, themes that grow to John Holmes proportions as a Vicky-inspired skin flick moves the action to Lovetown, California, epicenter of the porn industry. The bared puns and cool descriptions of genres ("Hatefuck," "Cockout") have all the visceral impact of a Facial, a crude utility that turns out to be consistent with the rest of the book; but this is hardly a failure of intent. In Yellow Dog, Amis strips the world of its moral patina and fleshes it out in the post-satiric mode of the pornographic, which he expertly adopts, mocks, and transposes into a naked-lunch poetics. It bears the scars of Amis's getting down to business.

First Year of the Snake baby born at stroke of midnight
Published on Feb 10, 2013 3:40 PM
The first baby this Chinese New Year was born at Thomson Medical Centre at the stroke of midnight on Sunday, right down to the second.
Proud parents of the baby boy, Mr Koh Sun Ming, 31 and Madam Zhang Jingjing , 30, received $8,888 in cash, and several other goodies such as diapers and a gold-plated Snake figurine from Risis and the hospital.
A spokesman for Risis, a gift store, said that this is the first time in seven years that the reward has gone to a single baby. In other years, it was split among a few babies born at the same time.
Considered the first snake baby of the year, David Koh was born at 2.78kg, and is the first child for Mr and Mrs Koh.

Islanders ready for rematches
Men's team facing some familiar foes
There's going to be a series of doubletakes made by the Texas A&M-Corpus Christi men's basketball team over the final weeks of the season.
The Islanders are heading toward the end of their inaugural Southland Conference regular season. Now, of the team's final six games, five will be played against teams A&M-Corpus Christi already has faced this season.
That was the case with Texas State last Thursday, and that will be the situation at 7:06 tonight when the Islanders play host to Texas-Arlington in a game to be televised from the American Bank Center.
A&M-Corpus Christi senior guard Josh Ervin feels the responsibility of second meetings falls more on the players. The coaches have had plenty of chances to break down and dissect an opponent, not only once, but twice. The second time around, Ervin said, things are won on the court.
Islanders coach Ronnie Arrow enjoys second meetings as well. Once he sees a team - and he already has faced all the conference teams this season except for Lamar, Thursday's opponent - he can get a feel for their tendencies better than just watching film.
"If we see something we can hurt them with, we'll put in things," said Arrow, whose team, with a victory, will reach 20 wins quicker than any A&M-Corpus Christi team. "Once you see them against your team, you can see how they guard, whether their press is effective. You get an overall sighting of each opponent."
But UTA throws that into a bit of disarray. The Mavericks were in the process of hitting bottom the last time they faced A&M-Corpus Christi. The Islanders routed UTA 89-63, and the Mavs followed with a home-court loss to Texas-San Antonio.
At that point, UTA coach Scott Cross made a seemingly minor change that altered the course of his team's season. Simply, he put freshman Cardell Hunter in at the point, and sent one of his many big men to come in off the bench while moving former point guard Rodrick Epps out to a shooting position.
The Mavs won six of the next seven, including a 13-point victory over Sam Houston State, the only team currently challenging A&M-Corpus Christi for the conference title.
Hunter's stats are not gaudy at 3.1 points a game and 1.5 assists a game. But he tends to get the ball in the right person's hands. He makes the smart plays.
And, winning five in a row, the team can measure his stats in wins and losses.
"He's just one of those guys who makes everyone around him better, and that's what a good point guard should do," Cross said. "He has intangibles such as hustle plays, ball handling and tough perimeter defense that don't always show up in the stat sheets."
Now, instead of a bullish frontline - and UTA has four big bodies that it can still insert into the lineup - the Mavs have a pair of shooters on the wings that can cause problems.
And, the way the Islanders have been defending the 3-point shot, it could be an issue. A&M-Corpus Christi has allowed an average of 14 3-pointers made a game over the past four contests.
"Their personnel has changed a lot since the first time," Ervin said. "Their point guard (Epps) was shooting the ball well, so that move helped them get tougher shooters on the wings. They see we're having trouble guarding the 3, and they can exploit that."
As for beating a team the second - or even third - time, Arrow said it's no tougher. Ervin, though, feels a rematch always is more complicated.
"The first time is getting to know each other," Ervin said. "By the next time, we've seen all the film on them, and they've seen all the film on us. It comes down to who plays better defense and takes care of the ball."
Interestingly enough, those are just the attributes that put Hunter into the lineup. And that's exactly what could make the rematch different from the first time.
The game: A&M-CC (19-5, 10-1) vs. Texas-Arlington (11-14, 6-6)
When: 7:06, tonight

A convicted sex offender who was almost two hours late for his sentencing hearing will be held without bond until his next court date.
Jose R. Ramirez, 29, of 27 N. Main St., Willard, had a sentencing hearing scheduled for 8:45 a.m. Wednesday in Huron County Common Pleas Court. The defendant, who was out on bond, walked into the main courtroom just before 10:30.
Judge Jim Conway already had issued a warrant for Ramirez's arrest.
"I don't have any idea (where he is)," defense attorney Tom Nicholson told the judge.
Since Nicholson, a Bucyrus attorney, had left the courthouse before his client arrived, court officials had Ramirez arrested on the failure to appear warrant. Huron County Sheriff's Lt. Chris Stanfield placed the former Plymouth resident in handcuffs in the courtroom.
In mid-January, Ramirez pleaded guilty to unlawful sexual conduct with a minor. The conviction is for a July 7 incident involving 14-year-old girl in Willard that police said appeared to be consensual.
While Huron County Assistant Prosecutor Richard Woodruff declined to speak specifically about the case, he explained the fourth-degree felony.
"It's a crime because of (the girl's) age," Woodruff said.
Even if a victim were 13, 14 or 15 years old and there was consent, he said the charge would be unlawful sexual conduct with a minor. Sexual conduct alleges there was sexual activity.
"If there's no consent, it would be a rape," Woodruff said.
The victim's parents reported to the Willard Police Department their daughter wasn't where she was supposed to be July 7, but "was with someone else," Chief Mark Holden said earlier.
Ramirez will be sentenced Tuesday. He faces one to five years in prison and will be classified as a sex offender.

A lot is riding on the cleanup of euro zone lenders being overseen by the European Central Bank. The progress so far is encouraging. But clarity is needed on a few points to ensure that lenders really do get a good scrubbing and are therefore able to support the zone's fragile economic recovery.
The European Central Bank needs to start taking the risks of deflation more seriously. This danger should be top of its agenda when its governing council convenes for its monthly meeting this week.
How should the world outside America view Ben Bernanke's legacy? Should it lambast the U.S. Federal Reserve chairman, who retires later this week after an eight-year stint, for failing to predict the financial crisis and being slow to react when it hit? Or should it laud him for pulling out the stops to save the financial system and pep up the U.S. economy after Lehman Brothers went bust in 2008? Or should non-Americans be worried that the process of unwinding Bernanke's unprecedented money-printing policy will deliver a bad case of whiplash?
Finance has rightly been in the sin bin for the last six years. And the cleanup job isn't finished. But Mark Carney, the new Bank of England governor, is correct to stress how a large and expanding City of London is good for Britain, Europe and the world – provided it is properly organised.
The Cypriot catastrophe shows just how far away the euro zone is from creating its much-touted "banking union". There was no euro zone supervision of Cyprus' big banks, no transnational approach to put them into controlled bankruptcy, no common deposit insurance and no flow of bank rescue funds from abroad.

Animal Eggs Not Suitable Substitutes to Produce Stem Cells
The ability to reprogram human cells using oocytes would enable the production of patient-specific stem cells that could then be differentiated to become any type of somatic cell and used for cell or tissue repair or placement therapy. This extensive reprogramming requires that the oocyte turn on, or up-regulate a large number of genes in the donor nucleus.
Although previous reports have documented the formation of cloned embryos using both human and animal eggs, to date, there have been no data indicating to what extent the donor human DNA was reprogrammed. Lanza et al. show for the first time that human oocytes have the capacity to change these patterns of gene expression, and that interspecies (human-to-animal) cloning does not produce the same results. Although the human-bovine and human-rabbit clones looked similar to the human-human embryos, the human-animal hybrids did not exhibit the changes in gene expression seen in the human-human clones and normal embryos. Specifically, they did not achieve up-regulation of critical pluripotency-associated genes needed for stem cell production.
"This very important paper suggests that livestock oocytes are extremely unlikely to be suitable as recipients for use in human nuclear transfer. This is very disappointing because it would mean that production of patient-specific stem cells by this means would be impracticable,"
says Ian Wilmut, Ph.D., Editor-in-Chief of Cloning and Stem Cells and director of the Centre for Regenerative Medicine, in
Cloning and Stem Cells is an authoritative peer-reviewed journal published quarterly in print and online that focuses on understanding developmental plasticity and defining the molecular mechanisms that regulate differentiation or dedifferentiation of nuclei and cells.

Jarrett rips Kenseth, drops out of top 35
Jarrett rips Kenseth, drops out of top 35
Jarrett rips Kenseth, drops out of top 35
March 25, 2007
BRISTOL, Tenn. (AP) -Dale Jarrett blasted 2003 champion Matt Kenseth after contact between the two ended Jarrett's day just 45 laps into the race Sunday at Bristol Motor Speedway.
Jarrett, the 1999 series champion, was bumped from behind by Kenseth and the touch spent him spinning into the wall. The rear wing of his Car of Tomorrow shattered, forcing Jarrett out of the race and to a 42nd-place finish.
``This is not the first time that (Kenseth's) done something like this,'' Jarrett said. ``Everybody has this great vision that Matt Kenseth is this nice guy on the race track. He is a nice guy away from the track. But he's a rough driver on the race track when he doesn't have to be.
``We'll have a discussion.''
The accident put Michael Waltrip Racing into an even deeper hole as Jarrett dropped to 39th in owner points. That's a precarious position to be in next week, when NASCAR begins guaranteeing a spot in the field to the top 35 current drivers.
Jarrett has just two past champion provisionals left to use this season, and once those are gone, he'll have to qualify on speed each week until he cracks the top 35.
It's the same boat all the Toyota teams are in, with all seven Camrys outside the top 35 in points.
Dave Blaney is 37th, Brian Vickers is 38th, David Reutimann is 45th, Jeremy Mayfield is 47th, A.J. Allmendinger is 49th and Waltrip is 50th.
ON HOLD: Although contract talks with Dale Earnhardt Jr. are currently on hold, team president Max Siegel said the company is still on target to have the situation resolved by May.
``I am optimistic that we'll figure out something,'' Siegel said. ``Everyone's goal has been to have something done by May, so we are going to continue along the road that we are on.''
Earnhardt is represented at the bargaining table by his sister, Kelley Earnhardt Elledge. But health issues have slowed the progress, and all talks were put on hold as she recovers from Friday's surgery to remove a benign tumor located near her pancreas.
``Everything is framed nicely,'' Siegel said. ``We've been having productive discussions, but we're really just trying to make sure that she gets healthy and recovers as fast as she possibly can.''
Jimmy Elledge, crew chief for Reed Sorenson, made a brief appearance at the track Saturday before helicoptering back to North Carolina to be with his wife. But he was on the pit box Sunday and took daughter, Karsyn, over to Earnhardt's car to update him on his sister's condition before the race began.
``Things are good now,'' Elledge said. ``It was scary, but the doctors took care of it and she's doing really good.''
ROOKIE WOES: Regan Smith was far from pleased with his 25th-place finish in his Nextel Cup debut. The rookie pitted outside his box early in the race, was penalized one lap and never recovered.
``Anytime you feel like you have a better car than the driver you leave the track disappointed,'' said Smith, who dropped from 18th to 39th after the pit-road penalty.
``I made a mistake on pit road and that pretty much killed our day from then on. I was barely over the line - sometimes the (NASCAR) official is lenient but he wasn't today.''
But Smith, who temporarily took over the car from Mark Martin, was pleased to still be running at the end of the race.
``I feel it was a huge accomplishment to finish the race at Bristol,'' noted Smith. ``We are proud of that because that was the main objective. I'm glad this is over, all the hoopla about my Cup debut.''
Smith also will drive next week at Martinsville Speedway. The car he was driving entered Bristol on top of the points, but dropped to eighth after Martin sat out.
But crew chief Ryan Pemberton still lauded the effort.
``Everyone has to remember he didn't come into an easy situation by driving the car that was in the points lead and making his first Cup start at what is probably the toughest track on the circuit,'' Pemberton said. ``But Regan handled himself very well both on and off the track. We were impressed on how he regrouped after that early pit road mistake.
``He drove a hard race. He's a pleasure to work with and this deal is only going to get better.''
Re: Jarrett rips Kenseth, drops out of top 35
I knew he was gonna be real pissed when I saw him get out of the car. He is right though Kenseth flat out wrecked him when he didnt have to. Way to early in the race for that type of driving

NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- On the heels of Weibo's IPO, many have wondered how Sina (SINA - Get Report) has lost 26% of its value in 2014 as of March 25, including 17% in the last month.
Weibo is China's microblogging service that has been described as Twitter (TWTR) -like, with a little Facebook (FB). According to Weibo's F-1, it ended 2013 with 129.1 million monthly active users, or MAUs, which represented growth of 33% over 2012.
Sina has traded lower despite Weibo's anticipated IPO, and many investors wonder why and whether the stock could go lower. It certainly could.

lacing the new front wheel
I got all of the stuff today for my front wheel. I got the rim back from the anodisers and the heavy duty spokes came in so all there is left to do is lace the wheel.
I decided to go for the heavy duty not the super heavy duty because then you have to drill and countersink the hub and this wheel setup has worked on my yz for years without a hitch.
I decided to go for the black rim with silver hub because the black hubs make the bike look heavier and coloured hubs are for showboats!
Step 1:
When lacing your front wheels the first spoke is the most important because the offset of all of the nipple dimples are pressed and drilled to match the bend of the spokes and drilling pattern of the spokes. Once your sure of the alignment and have checked you spoke positions all the rest is easy.
As you can see the spoke recesses are staggered accross the rim for the left and right spokes make sure that you put the left spokes in the left spoke holes. This is why I find it easier to do this job on the floor not in a stand.
Step 2:
Once the first spoke is in then it is easy feed a spoke through every second hole in the hub and it should align with every fourth hole in the rim. Keep an eye on the dimples in the rim and they will align up with the direction of the spoke.
Step 3:
Now its time to add the opposing spoke on this side of the wheel. Feed the spoke through the hub and towards the rim the spoke will go into the hole in the centre of the gap. Again take note of the dimple to ensure that it is in correct alignment.
Step 4:
Turn the rim over and start the same process over again the spokes can pretty much only go one way now but keep checking you spoke dimple alignment now the hole to put the spoke in is easy to work out.
Take not the spokes take a little more force to get then in during step 4 & 5 this is normal (although the spoke should not need enought pressure that it permenantly bends the spoke though. If so seek professional help for the rim)
Step 5:
Fill the gaps only one way to go now
Final step:
From here you can either tension the wheel your self or get it done by a wheel builder. I have got a wheel builder near me who is quite cheep if you take the wheel to him like this. I have seen and heard of horror stories where rims have cracked, broken and worse collapsed so be careful with tensioning your wheels. In my opinion give it to the pros.
When you send the wheel to the pros they like to have all of the nipples done up to the same position ie, all nipples done up to have just no threads showing, this gives them a good starting point. My wheel smith also likes to have the bearings in with no seals this helps him to fit it in his truing stand.
Build it and you will ride

Thanks for stopping by! As Director of the Center for Wounded Veterans in Higher Education here at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, I am delighted that you've decided to explore our website and check us out. If you are a veteran, family member, or friend of a veteran, thank you for your service to our country and your sacrifice. All of you have played an important role in preserving our freedom. As a Navy and Army veteran myself, I know that my family and friends played a critical support role for me during my service.
With every passing day, we are one step closer to opening in the Fall of 2015! A few more finishing touches on the building, some final details with our services and programming – before you know it, our doors will be open and we will be helping student veterans and their families realize new and unimaginable dreams! See if you can find yourself somewhere in our Vision and Mission:
Please spend some time wandering around our Web site. We are going to be doing some pretty remarkable things at the Center. All of it is based on a long history of leadership in disability services, a passionate commitment to serve our nation's veterans and their families from an individual and personal perspective, and in the context of a transformative learning experience from one of the world's leading universities. There are many reasons why our campus might be the perfect fit for you, like our designation as a Paralympic Training Site and other competitive sports opportunities; a thriving student veteran community; top graduation and employment rates for students with disabilities; a veteran focused academic and transition support system; broad and deep educational opportunities at the undergraduate, professional, and graduate levels in just about anything that you can imagine; and many others. If you are a veteran with a disability who is looking for a place where you can take the next step in making a significant and visible societal impact, look no further. The Center for Wounded Veterans in Higher Education and the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign is the place for you!
Personally, I would love for you to make a visit and check it out for yourself. All you have to do is ask and we'll show you what it means to be a proud member of the Fighting Illini Family.
Again, thank you for your interest and after you've looked around a bit, let me know if you have any questions. I'd be happy to answer them (firstname.lastname@example.com).
