Philippine low-cost carrier Zest Air has begun the process of rebranding itself as AirAsia Zest.
A spokeswoman for Philippines AirAsia (PAA), which owns a 49% stake in AirAsia Zest, says approval for the rebranding was received on 17 September from the country's Civil Aeronautics Board and Securities and Exchange Commission. It has also submitted documents to the Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines (CAAP) for final approval.
The formal rebranding is expected to be completed in late September or early October.
AirAsia Zest has also expanded its fleet size to 13 aircraft, up from 11. The spokeswoman says that it has dry-leased one A320 from AirAsia and has another aircraft on wet lease from PAA. Flightglobal's Ascend Online Fleets database shows that the dry leased aircraft (MSN1286) is registered RP-C8987.
PAA announced only days ago that it would temporarily suspend operations from Clark International airport and focus on Manila's Ninoy Aquino International airport as part of its alliance with AirAsia Zest
The former Zest Air was grounded for four days in August by the CAAP following frequent flight cancellations and other safety concerns. The CAAP lifted its suspension order on 20 August and it resumed its schedule.

If the downstream (rear) oxygen sensor wiring harness contacts the propeller (drive) shaft, it can damage the oxygen sensor and the wiring harness for the sensor, and/or cause Check Engine Light illumination. The wiring harness should be repaired and secured away from propeller shaft.
1996 Jeep Grand Cherokee Problem Reports
Newest 1996 Jeep Grand Cherokee Problem Reports
When normal alignment practices do not bring components into the alignment specifications, offset upper ball joints are available.
If a thumping or creaking noise is heard from the transmission tunnel area while driving over bumpy roads, a transfer case shifter repair kit is available which should correct this concern.
Electrical contacts in the tail lamp housing tend to break or melt, which can cause the brake lights to fail or work intermittently. Complete inspection of the tail light housing and bulbs is recommended before replacing any parts.
"False" trouble codes may cause erroneous illumination of the Check Engine Light. Updating the PCM software can often correct this concern.
The AC/heater (HVAC) system may unexpectedly switch to the defrost mode when accelerating. This system is operated by engine vacuum and should be inspected for any vacuum leaks if this problem develops. There is also a revised vacuum check valve available to address this concern.
A ticking type noise may be noted from the engine area due to an exhaust manifold that has cracked where the pipes are welded; cracked manifolds should be replaced.
Jeep issued an emissions recall in late 2006 to update the powertrain control module (PCM) software on certain 1996 vehicles. As part of the recall, the catalytic converter will also be inspected for damage and replaced as necessary. To see if your vehicle is included in the recall you can visit the Jeep website (owners' section) that allows owners to input their VIN number and check the recalls on their vehicle.
If the fuel gauge operates intermittently, an update the powertrain control module (PCM) software may be needed.
On the 3.9L V6 and 5.9L V8 the engine oil leaks at the distributor can be misdiagnosed as leaks from the intake manifold seal, oil pan gasket, or rear crankshaft (rear main) seal. A revised distributor is available if oil is found inside the distributor.
External oil leaks from the valve cover gaskets, intake manifold gaskets (front or rear), and the rear crankshaft seal area are common. The rear main seal is an unlikely source. Normally, leaks in this area are from the bearing cap mating surfaces as well as the sealing surface between the oil pan and bearing cap.
On 3.9L V6 and 5.9L V8 engines, the intake manifold gasket may leak and cause increased oil consumption and a spark knock during acceleration; the gasket should be replaced.
A broken seat heater element located in the seat cover may make the seat heater inoperative. The condition usually occurs in the seat bottom; two repair kits are needed for each seat.
Leaks at the front and/or rear differential pinion seal and from the transfer case are common. Leakage from the transfer case normally occurs at the case-mating surfaces and require removal of the transfer case to reseal.
Loose or worn suspension and steering components can cause a wobble or shaking in the steering wheel. It may happen at a certain speed and subside as the vehicle accelerates through the range. Tire balance can contribute to this as well.

I checked my inventory and everything for it and notta nothin ziltch!! Once again this really dissapoints and i warn anyone else do not waste your time with DABO!!!, it is a fun game and i thought the payoff was worth it, i love flying around being a Breen ship, untill my 15 minutes was up and i realized the emitter was gone!!!! and that i had wasted alot of time and credits for nothin!!! I want retribution, i want my credits back or just the darn emitter!!
I was ripped off and i want compesation!!
lol...a captain and his latinum shall soon be separated.
So let me quess. You thought that for an insignificant amount of time/latinum you were going to be able to permanently "be a Breen ship". Sure that makes sense. Anyway, no where did it say that it was permanent and while I can't check now, I thought it was pretty clear that it was temporary. Also, the value of 15 minutes for the price seems about right.
That said...a permanent option would maybe be okay, but only for many millions of latinum or more. Don't want everyone to be flying a Breen or Undine ship; or worse, a space slug.

SANANTONIO-- Twelve University of Texas San Antonio students are on a hunger strike they began around 11 a.m. Wednesday.
They plan to consume nothing but water until they hear from Texas lawmakers and Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison about support for the Dream Act.
Under this act, qualifying undocumented youth would be eligible for a six-year long conditional path to citizenship that requires completion of a college degree or two years of military service.
An estimated 2.1 million people could be eligible for this program.
Every year, 65,000 undocumented immigrants graduate from American high schools. Many of them came to the U.S. as infants and only want to work and serve the country they know.
These students have five other events planned through Nov. 15, including a Mass and a visit to Sen. Hutchison's office.
Students at UT Austin have organized a similar rally.
A spokesperson forHutchison provided this statement to KENS 5:
The Senator appreciates the passion of these young people for their cause, but she has been clear that she does not support the current DREAM ACT legislation. The Senator had previously proposed a way for students, who have gotten their primary and secondary education in the United States and want to go to college here, to get a temporary visa. She believes the current Dream Act legislation goes far beyond the intended group of children who have grown up in America. We hope these student protesters will find safer ways to voice their opinions.

Kings, a low-lit lounge in south Minneapolis, is a startlingly adult place. In the corner, a wine tasting is under way. Elaborate dishes garnished with shiitake mushrooms are shuttled from the kitchen to the dozen tables where sensible, grown-up conversations are taking place.
But at one of the tables, Jim Walsh is talking the Replacements: a band as well known in their time for boozed disintegration as for their recording career. A band whose live shows at times resembled a pack of blood brothers, at others, mercenaries in close combat. A band made immortal by a mythology that billows and spreads over them like a thunderhead. And a band that, as the years between their time and ours have piled into decades, has become one of the most influential rock acts 1980s America produced.
Walsh should know. He was there.
"I wanted to know where the music came from," he says. "The drugs, the alcohol, the wild living, that was all implicit. I didn't care. I wanted to know the source of that music. And it's all spelled out—Midwest, itchy kids, Reaganism, punk rock, and all these scenes happening at the same time."
He's talking about All Over but the Shouting. That's the book he wrote on the Replacements in 2007, and it's no stock rock bio. Open to any page—you won't see a line of narrative. Instead, it's a dense, anecdotal oral history, pulling quote after quote from the hardy multitudes who survived the blast—Green Day's Billie Joe Armstrong, the Replacements' deceased bassist Steve Foley, Lori Barbero from local legends Babes in Toyland, and dozens of others. It's a daunting and unorthodox approach. But the Replacements were a daunting, unorthodox band for whom a straight story is an absurd impossibility. According to Walsh, this piecemeal presentation was the only way.
"I didn't want to write it as a straight narrative," he says. "I couldn't. There's no god's voice, nor a god's eye, for what happened with that band. I couldn't make that cliché."
It's been almost 20 years since the Replacements performed their final show in Chicago on the Fourth of July, a span of time that has seen their cultural currency appreciate to staggering new values. In 2009, the Replacements are a gold standard of visceral honesty. And in an age that has seen the mass filtration and sterilization of all media, a backlash is underway. As vinyl lust keeps places like Treehouse and Cheapo stocking their 12-inches, a rediscovery of the virtues of rawness keeps the Replacements at the fore.
"There's a human desire for the raw," says Walsh. "Especially in these times when everything we get is through a filter. That's why the Replacements are a vital source of mystery. They can be whatever we want them to be now."
Proof of the Replacements' lasting draw? The Tribute Show, which takes over First Avenue on Friday. It began in 2007, when Walsh's book was first published, and has since become an annual success, stocking the stage with the Cities' best bands, all performing their own versions of the Replacements' work. This year's lineup includes Lookbook, Gospel Gossip, Idle Hands, Brutal Becomings, and almost a dozen others—an homage en masse to a band that continues to cross generations and genres from beyond the grave.
After all the music, and after all the blood spilled, what remains as their most precious artifact is their most indefinable and fleeting trait, the rarest element that, for fans and critics like Walsh, has yet to be reproduced: their mystery.
"There's always mystery to life," he says. "Two of these guys are dead. And it was only for a moment that all of them got along enough to make these records. It taught me a lot about how to live. How to feel. Feel. Feel. Feel. It's in the records. It's on videotape. They did good work. And it'll never happen again."
A TRIBUTE TO THE REPLACEMENTS will take place at 7 p.m. on FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 27, at FIRST AVENUE AND 7TH ST. ENTRY; 612.332.1775

I've been adopted as bunny wife for Buzz, also adopted from SaveABunny. We love each other very much, and he's a big fan of my dance moves!
UPDATE: Roadie just came back to SaveABunny from a foster home that loved her, but was unable to adopt her.
She's still settling in and we know she's missing the love of a dedicated family. New photos coming soon, since she has grown up since this photo was taken a few months ago.
No worries, though since she is still adorable!
Roadie is potentially e.cunniculi positive, but shows no symptoms.
Roadie is absolutely adorable. She's cute as can be with her funky Dutch/lionhead looks and perfect mix of feistiness and sweetness.
She's very little and also still very young-just a teenager. She arrived at SaveABunny as a medical rescue from the San Francisco shelter. She had been adopted and returned because of abnormalities in a urine culture. It could be infection or it could be kidney problems. We don't yet know and she will go in for more tests.
She acts perfectly normal---eating, drinking, playing , pooping and all the stuff a normal rabbit does, so we are hoping for the best.
As soon as we find out more about her health we will update you on her adoption and spay status.
Her medical tests are expected to cost about $300. Donations to help us cover these expenses are urgently needed and greatly appreciated!
"Reflection Of Compassion" is a lovingly commissioned series of original watercolor and gouache illustrations created especially for SaveABunny Rabbit Rescue by artist Elizabeth Koval Maffeo. (All images copyright 2008 SaveABunny. All rights reserved.)

You may say I'm a complex crater But I'm not the only one Someday more will join us On the planet closest to the sun. Lennon crater was recently named to honor English musician/singer/songwriter John Lennon (1940-1980). This image was acquired as part of MDIS's high-resolution stereo imaging campaign. Images from the stereo imaging campaign are used in combination with the surface morphology base map or the albedo base map to create high-resolution stereo views of Mercury's surface, with an average resolution of 200 meters/pixel. Viewing the surface under the same Sun illumination conditions but from two or more viewing angles enables information about the small-scale topography of Mercury's surface to be obtained. The MESSENGER spacecraft is the first ever to orbit the planet Mercury, and the spacecraft's seven scientific instruments and radio science investigation are unraveling the history and evolution of the Solar System's innermost planet. During the first two years of orbital operations, MESSENGER acquired over 150,000 images and extensive other data sets. MESSENGER is capable of continuing orbital operations until early 2015.

Small business loans up in 4Q, 1st gain since 2010
Wednesday - 4/3/2013, 7:30pm EDT
NEW YORK (AP) -- Small business lending is showing small signs of growth, according to data compiled by the government.
The total amount of small business loans outstanding at the end of the fourth quarter came to $586 billion, up from $584 billion in the third quarter, according to the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. That was the first quarterly gain in small business lending since the FDIC began tracking loans on a quarterly basis at the start of 2010. The FDIC is a government agency that insures bank deposits and oversees financial companies.
Despite the year-end improvement, the lending environment for small business remains weak. The December number was down from $598 billion in the final quarter of 2011 and $626 billion at the end of 2010.
The FDIC numbers included commercial and industrial loans, along with commercial real estate loans under $1 million.
Surveys have shown that small business owners remain cautious about borrowing. Low demand has been one of the factors behind weak lending since the recession ended.
On Tuesday a survey released by Thomson Reuters and PayNet showed that small businesses grew more reluctant to take out loans to buy equipment or expand in February as federal budget cuts approached. That continued a weak trend in lending that the two companies saw throughout 2012 and into the new year. PayNet provides credit ratings on small businesses.
The Thomson Reuters/PayNet Small Business Lending Index fell to 101.3 from 111.7 in January. The January reading was revised downward from a previously reported 113.1. In December the index stood at 115.
Small businesses have been reluctant to borrow since the recession because they've wanted to lower their debt burden, and because they've been uncertain about the economy and gridlock in Washington that has led to $85 billion in budget cuts. They're also uneasy about borrowing while they wait to see how much health insurance will cost them next year, when the government's health care overhaul is fully implemented.
The Thomson Reuters/PayNet study was compiled from data on commercial loans and leases in PayNet's database.

Nonprofit's work with juveniles questioned
County is 'not satisfied' with probation services
Fare said some of the classes had to be canceled because probation officials had scheduled detainees for recreation time or other activities.
Classes are being modified to better interest the detainees, a group of people who Fare said are difficult to reach because of their backgrounds.
When it comes to working with offenders once they are released on probation, New Alternatives has made little improvement, said Jason Druxman, a supervising probation officer responsible for monitoring teens released from custody.
Although the contract with New Alternatives does not spell out the number of times a counselor is expected to meet with a probationer, Druxman said he expects counselors to meet with them in person at least once a week. Instead, the contacts are made by telephone or when the probationer comes into the office for other matters, he said.
"We expect face-to-face contact," Druxman said. "Some face-to-face contacts have been zero."
Druxman said meeting with the 10 youths currently on probation in person is vital because it allows counselors to establish a confidence with their clients, help them fill out job applications, accompany them on interviews or help them get back into school.
"I have laid out what I expect," Druxman said. "They are telling me these things are going to be happening, but I haven't seen it."
Fare said his counselors do have in-person contact with probationers and have helped find jobs for them, enroll them in community college, and connect them with temporary housing and foster families.

Stressed Out Lizards Avoid Fire Ants
New research shows that when some fence lizards are attacked by fire ants they "stress out"– a response that actually helps the species to survive by heightening the animal's awareness of imminent danger. Tracy Langkilde, assistant professor of biology at Penn State University, found that lizards living in areas of the southeastern United States, where large numbers of fire ants also live, have elevated levels of stress hormones, called glucocorticoids.
The stress-hormone study comes on the heels of Langkilde's earlier studies of lizard behavior. In 2009, she showed that native fence lizards responded to their scary new invaders — fire ants — in one of two ways. Some lizards relied on camouflage and stayed perfectly still — the traditional response of their ancestors to threats by other animals. Other lizards, however, took a novel approach when faced with fire ants. They twitched and ran away. While the traditional, "stay still" response worked in the past, and continues to work for lizards threatened by other sorts of predators, it does not work for lizards facing an onslaught of vicious fire ants. "Non-responsive lizards get stung more and are less likely to survive to reach reproductive age, when they would be capable of passing their non-reacting genes on to offspring," Langkilde said. On the other hand, those lizards who have the "twitch and flee" response get stung less because they manage to flick the insects away. Such lizards also tend to stay alive long enough to reproduce and to pass on their "twitch and flee" genes.
Now, Langkilde's more recent study — measuring stress-hormone levels in lizards — adds an important piece of information to adaptive-behavior research. In "twitch and flee" lizards, stress hormones appear to mobilize the animal's energy, fueling its response and encouraging appropriate escape behavior. "The negative impacts of stress on health have received much research attention," Langkilde said. "However, stress may play a vital role in facilitating adaptive responses to threatening situations." Langkilde's research provides clues to the survival benefits of stress and suggests that the absence of an appropriate stress response may reduce an animal's ability to survive invasion. "Rather than just being a cause for concern," Langkilde said, "elevated levels of physiological stress within invaded lizard populations may be playing an important role in driving adaptations to novel threats."
In the United States, eastern fence lizards have a huge geographical range from New York and Pennsylvania to Florida and westward to Texas, but the range of fire ants currently is limited to states with warmer climates. One of the many modern-day challenges confronting scientists is to understand the impact of invasive species on natural habitats and native populations. In the southern United States, for example, non-native imported fire ants spread rapidly, destroy crops, and sting humans and animals alike. "The interaction between invasive fire ants and native lizards provides an excellent opportunity to understand the role stress plays in facilitating adaptive behavioral responses to new threats," Langkilde said.
Langkilde presented this research in a session titled "Stress and Invasion: factors influencing the escape behavior of native fence lizards in response to introduced fire ants" on Monday, August 2, at the Ecological Society of America's (ESA) 95th Annual Meeting in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
This research was supported by the U. S. National Science Foundation and the Penn State Social Science Research Institute.
Image Caption: New research shows that when some fence lizards are attacked by fire ants they "stress out" with elevated levels of stress hormones — a response that helps the species to flee quickly and survive. In contrast, the response to danger of fence-lizard populations that never have been attacked by fire ants is to freeze in place. The stress-hormone research, which is helping scientists to understand the impact of invasive species on native populations, was announced at the 2010 annual meeting of the Ecological Society of America by Tracy Langkilde, assistant professor of biology at Penn State University.

Javelinas men, women sweep Texas A&M-Commerce
A&M-Kingsville men take out A&M-Commerce in three overtimes
KINGSVILLE - The Texas A&M-Kingsville triple-overtime thriller against Lone Star Conference rival Texas A&M-Commerce had a little bit of everything with monster dunks, last-second shots and multiple comebacks in a 104-94 win by the Javelinas on Saturday at the Steinke Physical Education Center.
There were 11 ties and 12 lead changes in the game. Each team had multiple chances to win the game. But the Javelinas (9-13, 4-9 LSC) were able to outlast the Lions (7-14, 2-11) as the teams combined for 165 field-goal attempts, 65 of the 3-point variety.
Meanwhile, A&M-Kingsville's women nearly let one slip away but preserved their playoff hopes by holding off A&M-Commerce 75-72. The Javelinas and Lions meet again at 6 p.m. Monday in another women's-men's doubleheader in Commerce.
The Javelinas men were able to seal the win in the third overtime. After briefly falling behind 92-91 on a Brad Hambrick 3-pointer, the Javelinas scored the next nine points and were able to salt the game at the foul line.
The Javelinas made 12-of-39 3-point attempts and were 18 for 21 at the foul line. The 3-point attempts tied a school record. Ashton Brown led the team with 29 points, nine assists, six rebounds and four steals and his backcourt mate, Ryan Layssard, added 18 points, 10 assists and five rebounds. Reid Wallace finished with a career-best 22 points, six boards and two blocks. Marshall Bonds tied a school record with six blocks. Freshman Raymond Robinson from West Oso added 10 points and six rebounds.
In regulation, the Lions held a 60-52 lead with 8 minutes, 41 seconds remaining after a Desmond King layup. Brown made two free throws with seven minutes to play, starting a nine-point A&M-Kingsville run. Still, the Lions came back with two baskets.
A&M-Commerce held a three-point lead with a minute to play when Layssard made a twisting layup followed by Brown stealing the in-bounds pass and eventually hitting a jumper with 44 seconds to play. Brown would give the Javelinas a three-point lead after making two free throws with 21 seconds left, but Hambrick was able to send the game to overtime with an off-balance 3-pointer with 1.9 seconds remaining from the left wing.
Bonds scored on a dunk to open the first overtime and A&M-Kingsville built a six-point lead. Once again, the Lions came back and tied the game with 24 seconds left on an Andrew Davis' 3-pointer from the top of the key. Brown's potential game-winning jumper rimmed out at the buzzer.
In the second overtime, the Lions held the Javelinas scoreless until Layssard hit back-to-back 3-pointers with 1:33 and 54 seconds remaining, respectively, to pull them within 88-86. After a turnover by the Lions, Wallace put the Javs ahead with a 3 with 19 seconds remaining. The Lions had a chance to win the game when Esteban Arriola was fouled with 11 seconds left, but he could only make one of two free throws. Once again, Brown's potential game-winner was just off the mark.
It wasn't always pretty, but the Javelinas (5-15, 4-10) never trailed during the final 37 minutes, The Lions (1-19, 0-14) made it interesting at the end. The Javelinas held a double-digit lead as late as 2:22 remaining after a jumper by Kelly Bastow, but almost gave it away.
The Lions closed within three points with 55 seconds left in regulation after two free throws by Kaneisha Flournoy and four consecutive turnovers by A&M-Kingsville. The Javelinas finally stemmed the tide when Jackie Stanley rebounded an errant 3-point attempt and scored on a put-back with 27 seconds to play. Two free throws and another turnover gave the Lions the ball with 11 seconds left and a chance to tie. Danielle Dixon's 3-point try was off and the Javelinas rebounded. A missed free throw on a 1-and-1 opportunity gave the Lions one last chance but Dixon's running 35-footer was off.
Senior Shonta Dobbins led A&M-Kingsville with a career-best 21 points, 10 rebounds and three steals. In the second half, senior Amanda Haven from Calallen scored 16 of her 20 points, all of them coming in a furious 5:13 span in which the Javelinas extended their lead from six points to 13 points. Haven also had four steals.

About MeContact me here or at: email@example.com
***Looking for Models***
What can I say about myself?
Since I was a child and could hold an Kodak Instimatic I've loved taking photos and hamming it up for the cam. As most of us I graduated High School and then took a turn and join the United States Army two weeks after graduation. Got out of service after enjoying Germany and Europe, left as a Desert Shield/Storm Vet in 91'.
I'm married and have a son who is 18 and lives with his mother. He is a wonderful son and takes after me, LOL!
Got a job in community management and worked while being a photographer on the side for 20 years. Recently, I have left to pursue my passion and dreams as a Professional Photographer and Poet.
I have been published numerous times for both photography and poetry over the years and hence got the nickname, ThePhotoPoet. I enjoy working with both artistries as well as combining them.
To ask someone to do something, one must be willing to do the same, hence my self photo shoots. Remember a models comfortability and then the photographers is what is important. Respect all and keep your mind open, we are not to judge.
Adult, Altenative, Artistic Nudes, Erotic, Events, Gothic, Pin-up, Weddings and everything inbetween.
I'm hoping to find like minded souls, from Amatures to professionals, who want to increase their portfolios like me (TFCD). Mostly, looking for models, but am willing to model in the remote chance someone is interested. A friend told me to check out this website as I might find some really good friends, contacts, and models.
Feel free to contact me as I'm currently open and ready, don't miss out.
Your Bay Area photographer (me) is professional, courteous, discreet, respectful, open minded and would love to be "Your Bay Area Photographer"

Test for Parkinson's Being Developed
A minimally invasive technology is being developed to diagnose Parkinson's disease, U.S. and Canadian researchers said.
In the study, researchers Molecular Biometrics, LLC used spectroscopy to develop a metabolic profile — or chemical signatures — of biological markers for Parkinson's disease. There is currently no definitive laboratory diagnostic for Parkinson's disease.
"The lack of an objective biomarker to aid diagnosis and therapeutics development is one of the single greatest challenges facing the Parkinson's research field," Katie Hood of The Michael J. Fox Foundation Parkinson's Research said in a statement.
In the study, 52 patients, 20 with mild or moderate stages of Parkinson's disease and 32 age-matched control subjects had whole blood samples analyzed using near-infrared spectroscopy and Raman spectroscopy methods.
The data from this study, published Biomarkers in Medicine, showed that the two independent biospectroscopy measurement techniques yielded similar and consistent results. In differentiating Parkinson's disease patients from the control group, Raman spectroscopy achieved a sensitivity of 74 percent and specificity of 72 percent, with eight false positives and four false negatives.
Near-infrared spectroscopy achieved a sensitivity of 74 percent and specificity of 76 percent, with four false positives and five false negatives.

A USB dongle for one-time passwords
Secret Stick
If you are ready to experiment, an OpenKubus USB stick just might solve your password problems.
When it comes to authenticating users, most Linux administrators rely on passwords. Of course, this causes no end of problems: If users are allowed to choose their own passwords, they are often too short and too easily guessed. If a random password generator creates the passwords, they are likely to be so complicated that users will forget them, or else the users will write down their passwords then leave the notes out in public places. Secrecy is difficult to ensure in unfamiliar environments where key loggers and shoulder surfers lurk. One-time passwords (OTPs) solve this dilemma: Because one-time passwords become invalid after one use, nobody is likely to worry about whether they are sniffed.
Password generators create lists with huge numbers of passwords and store a copy of the list on the server on which the user needs to authenticate. The idea is that the user carries a second copy of the list. For each authentication, the user and server just use the next password on the list. An example of this technique is the TAN method used by many banks for secure transfers in online banking.
When a user logs in, the system can prompt for, say, the tenth password on the list. Anybody with the password list can look up the matching password and authenticate. The disadvantage of this approach is that it is often impractical. Users need to carry the list around with them at all times; when they log on, they need to grab the list and painstakingly type the password. Of course, this technique also does not prevent the possibility that the list could fall into the wrong hands.
Systems that generate dynamic passwords are more practical. An on-board client application for generating passwords will work fine if you never change locations, but this approach isn't very portable. A better solution is to generate one-time passwords with an external hardware token. Several forms of hardware-based, one-time password tokens exist. (See the article on "One-Time Passwords" in the November 2008 issue for more information [1].)
Many of the hardware-based password tokens are proprietary; however, a universal programming adapter based on the open USBprog hardware platform is available for implementing one-time-password solutions. This platform uses the popular ATmega32 microcontroller – an inexpensive alternative with many free developer applications. A second component, the USBN9604, supports USB access. This variant can be built easily with the addition of a single button (see Figure 1). The PCB, component list, and wiring diagram are available under the GPLv2 license [2].
From the computer's point of view, the stick is a USB keyboard, and many operating systems have driver support for it. When the user presses the button, the stick outputs a password that is generated according to the method shown in Figure 2.
The OpenKubus project has developed a second layout that is functionally equivalent to the previous open token. The OpenKubus token fits in an even smaller housing and has far fewer parts (see Figure 3). The microcontroller is an ATmega16U4, an ATmega16 with an integrated USB controller. The good thing about the OpenKubus option is that you can purchase a prebuilt version of the hardware on the web for around EUR 25 [3]. This prebuilt token will allow you to experiment with hardware-based one-time-passwords without having to build your own hardware.
How It Works
The program running on the stick uses a 14-byte data block comprising random digits or a stick ID. The microcontroller prepends a 2-byte serial number. When a user presses the button, the microcontroller concatenates the serial number and the data block and encrypts both using a 256-bit key stored on the stick. An EEPROM on the controller chip stores these three data snippets.
The last step is for OpenKubus to convert the 16 bytes of encrypted one-time password to printable or typeable characters and send them to the USB keyboard driver (see Figure 2). Because the stick does not know which keyboard variant is currently active on the computer it is attached to, it sends the key code for a z to distinguish between German and English language layouts.
Let Me In!
To check these credentials, the other end needs the data block, the AES key, and a serial number. It converts the keyboard input back into the 16 bytes of the one-time password and decrypts by using the symmetric AES key. The first two encrypted objects must have a higher value than the one stored server side – this allows the system to detect replay attacks. If OpenKubus needs to authenticate against more than one device, the servers need to synchronize the serial numbers. Both the server and the stick then increment the serial number. In the current setup, the server will go on strike after 65,536 applications, at which time, the current firmware does a wraparound.
OpenKubus uses AVR-Crypto-Lib as the cryptography library on the stick; the library includes a large collection of cryptographic functions for Atmel microprocessors and takes the meager flash and RAM resources into account. The large number of supported algorithms enables the use of other cryptographic methods if you are prepared to experiment. Other changes, such as a different approach to handling wraparound or a bit shift in the data block driven by the serial number, are also possible.
Setting Up
After putting the hardware together, or opening the package if you order the OpenKubus version, you need to compile the firmware and transfer it to the device. If you bought the latest OpenKubus version (see Figure 4), you can also omit this step because the software is already in place.
The command
svn checkout http://openkubus.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ openkubus-read-only
picks up a current snapshot and dumps it on your machine [4]. Additionally, you need the gcc-avr and binutils-avr packages for the AVR-GCC cross compiler [5]. The avrdude package includes tools for transferring firmware. All of these packages are available from the Debian repositories; you might need to build them for other distributions.
Most subdirectories include separate makefiles: The firmware requires the cryptographic functions, and make in the firmware/crypto-lib/ directory builds them. On the other hand, if you will be using the USBprog variant, you need to build the firmware in the firmware/secstick_v1/ directory.
For the second OpenKubus hardware version, change to the firmware/secstick_v2/ directory. Then run avrdude and a programmer such as USBprog to transfer the prebuilt firmware image, openkubus.hex, to the microcontroller's flash memory. As an alternative, an Atmel MkII will help you transfer the software; the USB port is not enabled at this point.

This refers to the reports "Suspense still on PM's visit to Colombo" and "Manmohan, Sonia to take a call" (Nov. 8). As long as Sri Lanka continues to maintain aggressive steps over its Tamil minority citizens and doesn't take meaningful action against those who committed unspeakable atrocities against the Tamils, it would not be right for Prime Minister Manmohan Singh to attend the CHOGM in Sri Lanka. The opposition to his going to Colombo within India cannot be brushed aside.
It is amusing to see the BJP, which loses no opportunity to demand the severing of all relations with Pakistan whenever there is any act of terrorism or a border incident, now wanting Dr. Singh to attend the meet. Why this double standard?
Baikadi Suryanarayana Rao,
India's foreign policy has never been framed by us. Rather, it has always been in reaction to the moves and actions of Pakistan and China. India is acknowledged as an emerging superpower. I wonder how a country that never seems to display a spine can ever become a superpower. A nation that dances to the tunes of tiny nations around it is only making a mockery of its own status.
If Dr. Singh can boldly reprimand Sri Lanka for human rights violations he can attend CHOGM. Otherwise, history will remember him as the one who let down his own people for the sake of pleasing a neighbour.
N. Ramkumar,
Indian participation in CHOGM has become a debatable issue. The best option for India would be for Dr. Singh not to go and instead let a senior Minister attend it.
The second option would be for Dr. Singh to travel there and openly assert India's concerns, while impressing upon Sri Lanka the need to implement the 13th Amendment, as suggested by the BJP. India must also take the cue from Nobel Peace Laureate Archbishop Desmond Tutu's line that the CHOGM could be an opportunity for countries to convince Sri Lanka to adopt the path of reconciliation.
Madan Menon Thottasseri,
This refers to letter writer Mr. S.P. Sharma (Nov. 8) who has said, "We should also remember that Tamilians have migrated to other parts of the world and obey the law of the land there." This reflects a widely prevalent misconception about the Sri Lankan Tamils and their problems. The Sri Lankan Tamils (Eelam Tamils) are natives of Sri Lanka whose history dates back to Third Century BCE, constituting about 12.7 per cent (1987 figure) of the island's population.
They should not be confused with the much smaller group of descendants of the migrant Indian Tamils who were brought as bonded labour by the British in the 19th century to work in the tea estates, and other Indians who came there subsequently in search of a livelihood.
The Sri Lankan Tamils are a section of native citizens, being a linguistic, cultural and religious (Hindu) minority, who have been discriminated against and denied their due rights by the Sinhalese, mostly Buddhist, majority of Sri Lanka. The LTTE was fighting for the right cause using the wrong means.
A.N. Lakshmanan,
India went to Sri Lanka assuming the pious role of a mediator in its internal conflict, and unwisely got itself entangled in its civil war. At one stage, the Indian Peace Keeping Force virtually became a third warring group in the conflict. At the end of the day, it seems that India has lost heavily: militarily, diplomatically and politically. Today, India's status in the scenario is unenviable and it has been pushed into a situation of extreme dilemma both internally and externally. The fact of the matter is that Sri Lankan diplomacy stands superior to ours and, as usual, India has emerged miserably snubbed. In this context, Dr. Singh's call for a rethink on Indian foreign policy gains significance.
R.K. Jacob,

I'm experiencing some pain in the left (my left) side of my rib cage, right under my boob, and around into my side. Anyone else have this or something similar? I'm not really concerned b/c I know there are some crazy things going on inside me right now.
I tried to google it, but the only pregnant women that seem to have posted experiences with the rib pain are all much later along in their pregnancies. I'm only at 4 weeks.
