Seas0nPass makes for easier AppleTV Jailbreak
Seas0nPass has just been released for jailbroken AppleTV users. Up until now, there hasn't been easy to use jailbreak tools for the AppleTV. Hopefully Seas0nPass can change all that.
Seas0nPass offers some of the same basic functionality utilities like PwnageTool already offers iPhone, iPod Touch, and iPad users. It will currently jailbreak the most current version of AppleTV iOS (4.2.1). Seas0nPass for AppleTV also offers an easier tethered boot option as well as an ability to create and restore from custom firmwares (IPSW) files. This will be nice for users on newer firmwares that may not offer an untethered option yet.
Currently Seas0nPass is only available for Mac users running Mac OS 10.6 or later but a Windows version should be coming soon.
Seas0nPass is available for free and the code is open source and available on Github now. If you give it a try, let us know how it works for you!

Seas0nPass makes for easier AppleTV Jailbreak
Me too. There just really isn't a lot out for it. I'm glad they're working on better tools for it though.
the current version of the apple tv is 4.1.1.
Yes but firmware is 4.2.1 you are looking at the build
I jailbroke mine but really the only thing I use is plex to stream from my mbp
I had the exact same problem and the oulstion was exact what you wrote.Yesterday I was for rage-filled 2 hours in front of my MAC trying to figure out how to connect my TVs (actual and apple) … today I watch your tutorial for 5 minutes and it works.thank you so much, man. you really are keeping it simple. (However, I am still experiencing ATV crashes when I try to play MP4 or MKV files. simple oulstion to that, too?)
Fantastic site. Plenty of useful info here. I am sending it to some friends ans also sharing in delicious. And obviously, thanks on your effort!

KANSAS CITY, Kan. — The Oklahoma Elite softball team was hoping to win five games on Saturday to stay alive in the 2011 World Series. Unfortunately, that did hot happen.
The Clay Center (Kan.) B's rallied to down the Elite 2-1 in an elimination game Saturday morning. The loss ended Elite's season.
BROKEN ARROW — Last December when the 2011 All-State Football Game Roster was announced, two Spiro Bulldogs, quarterback Clayton Mitchem and running back Elliott Hawkins, were not on it — only listed as alternates.
But thanks to Tulsa Union's Kale Pearson and Tulsa Washington's Isaac Bennett could not make the game, Mitchem and Hawkins, respectively, were named as their replacements for the East team. Needless to say both Bulldogs were happy campers.

I'm also glad to hear you figured it out.
I'm also glad to hear you figured it out.
Glad to hear that you got it worked out. I have run into the same issue w/ Model1 Sales. In one case, I had to throat and finish ream the chamber in order to get a round to seat fully. For future reference, the green scotch pad method is the least invasive way to clean up a chamber. I takes very little away in terms of actual metal. If you followed the tecchnique you described, you should be fine! I use an in and out technique to create a swirl pattern inside the chamber, kind of like polishing brake slave cylinders or V8 cylinders.
One thing to always remember: Never mess with the gas port size! A burr in the bore can ruin your whole day! Not to mention the really heavy recoil if you overbore it! Accuracy tends to suffer a lot under these circumstances.
I wasn't about to enlarge the gas port, the brl isn't that short. I'm glad you guys mentioned polishing the bore, the only thing I could think of was headspace. I knew the problem was in the chamber and not with the ejector or anything else. I just didn't know what was wrong with the chamber. I figured someone here would know! Thank you guys for the help!
I've had the same exact experience with a DPMS upper I bought several years ago. It wouldn't eject the empty casings all the time and the brass was showing signs of a gouged chamber. It would've been impossible to full length resize. Must've had a chip or burr when maching the chamber or possibly not enough coolant? I purchased the upper new/complete from a vendor at a local gunshow. He said he'd take it back to his shop and polish it up. The brass bulges were so deep, I told him I felt it was a manufacturing defect and wanted the barrel replaced. It was sent back to DPMS and was replaced with a new upper n/c.It was a rough chamber.
Yep, I was pissed this weekend when my AR stopped working! I am not sure what's wrong. It might be ammo. I was using Wolf, which I hear is crap. It also might be that I didn't run the rifle wet (or wet enough).
It would go bang and not extract the round, it would be jammed half extracted. I think it's the ammo because the week before it would cycle but jammed on feeding frangible ammo (wouldn't pick it up). Prior to that, I cycled 200 rounds with no failures to feed or extract. Ammo was different all three times, this is a DPMS CMP with the HBAR barrel.
Any ideas? I think it's picky about ammo. I couldn't find any problems while cleaning it.
I'm no expert, but my shootin' buddys rifle was doing the same thing and his gas block was mis-aligned with the barrel gas port. After we re-aligned the gas port it cycled flawlessly no matter what type ammo we shot.
Easy and cheap fix.

FORT WAYNE — A scoring drought that lasted the final six minutes of the ball game allowed the host Northrop Lady Bruins to go on an 11-0 run and take a come-from-behind, 36-30, win over the visiting Columbia City Lady Eagle basketball team Tuesday night.
The Bruins held a 19-15 lead at halftime.
In the third quarter, the Eagles were able to score from both the field and the free-throw line.
A basket and two free throws by Emily Whiteleather brought the Eagles within four at 25-21.
A 3-pointer by Alyssa Hansen brought the Eagles to within one at 25-24.
A minute later, Hansen hit a jumper from the left side of the key to give the Eagles their first lead since the first quarter, 26-25.
The Eagles started the fourth quarter getting baskets from Aubrey Wright and Schnorr to extend their lead to 30-25.
Unfortunately for the Eagles, that would be the last points they would score as the Lady Bruins went on an 11-0 run, fueled by pressure that both disrupted the Eagle offense and forced turnovers.
The hosts also went 5-for-6 from the free-throw line down the stretch to pull out the 36-30 win.
Columbia City falls to 6-14 on the season.
The Lady Eagles return to action Saturday when they play host to the New Haven Bulldogs in the annual Senior Night contest.

The present invention relates to method and apparatus for distributing and processing information, and more specifically relates to method and apparatus for preventing unauthorized use of information by partially encrypting such information.
With the advance of electronic and communication technology, information conveyed in electronic form ("electronic content") is fast becoming the most economic and reliable way of distributing information. However, many information providers are reluctant to distribute electronic content because it is very easy to copy and use the information without authorization. In spite of the existence of copyright law, experience shows that electronic content are often copied and used without paying any royalties to copyright holders. Thus, in order to promote the use of electronic conveyance of information, means must be develop to prevent unauthorized usage and copying of electronic content.
Methods have been developed to prevent unauthorized copying of electronic content. Several years ago, these methods were used by many software developers. However, these copy protection methods do not find acceptance in the market place. Consequently, the majority of computer software is currently marketed without copy protection.
Recently, attention has been turned towards preventing unauthorized uses. For example, several companies market "dongles," or hardware keys, which are attached to a port of a computer. Protected software would not execute in a computer without an appropriate key. Thus, the protected software could be copied but cannot be used in an unauthorized computer. However, many users found that these software and hardware keys cause much inconvenience. For example, when a user wishes to remove the software from one computer and execute the software in another computer, the associated hardware key has to be moved. So far, no mass marketed software uses hardware key to protect against unauthorized uses.
Other methods have been developed to prevent unauthorized usage of electronic content. One of the methods is disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 5,010,571 issued to Katznelson. It discloses a system for controlling and accounting for retrieval of data from an optical storage medium containing encrypted data files from which retrieval must be authorized. The optical storage medium is distributed to customers at nominal or no charge. However, in order to decrypt the data files, a customer must obtain a decryption key from a remote authorization and key distribution station. As a result, unauthorized uses can be prevented. A similar system is disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 4,827,508 issued to Shear. In Shear, the decryption key is stored in a secure device in the customer site. The secure device also stores accounting data relating to usage of the electronic content. The accounting data is periodically sent to a billing station.
In the above methods disclosed by Katznelson and Shear, vast amount of distributed information is encrypted using a single key (or a small number of keys). Thus, if the decryption key is inadvertently made public, all these information can be used without paying the information providers. Naturally, information providers are reluctant to rely on these methods to distribute their valuable asset (i.e., information).
Another problem with these prior art methods is that information providers cannot match the security level of encryption to the value of the information. Typically, the security of encryption is directly related to the complexity of encryption algorithm and the length of keys. The choice of encryption algorithms and the length of keys require an analysis of the value of the information and the costs of encryption. In the methods disclosed by Katznelson and Shear, all information is encrypted using the same key. Thus, this key may not match the requirements of many information providers.
A further problem of these prior art method is that the encryption algorithm is fixed at the time encrypted information is initially distributed. As the installed base of encrypted information increases, it becomes difficult to change the encryption algorithm. Thus, these methods cannot use new cryptographic methods, which may be developed in future.
Another method is disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 5,247,575 issued to Sprague et al. It discloses that encrypted information may be electronically transmitted from a remote site to a receiving device in a customer site via wired or wireless means. It also discloses that the decryption key could be stored in a removable "key" card. The card can be inserted into the receiving device to decrypt the received and encrypted data. This method suffers the same defects described above in connection with Katznelson and Shear. In addition, this method requires a communication channel having a large bandwidth for transmitting the encrypted information.
Broadly stated, the invention involves a method and system for distributing and processing digital information. The digital information is separated into two portions. The first portion is a clear portion and the second (residual) portion is encrypted. The clear and the encrypted portions are sent to a processing system that decrypts the encrypted portion. The clear and decrypted portion is combined to obtain a result that is substantially the same as the original digital information.
In one embodiment of the present invention, the clear portion is distributed to customers at no or nominal cost. The residual portion will be stored in a central station. When a customer wishes to use the digital information, the central station encrypts the residual portion using an encryption-decryption key-pair generated at that time. The encrypted portion and the decryption key are sent to the processing system in a secure manner. As a result, different keys can be used to encrypt and decrypt the same information at different times.
One feature of the present invention is that the clear portion is selected in a way to render the reconstruction of the original digital information difficult if the residual portion is not known. Thus, a customer will not be able to reconstruct the original digital information based on the clear portion. As a result, unauthorized use of the digital information is prevented.
In the present invention, the information providers control the choice of encryption algorithms and keys. Further, algorithms and keys can be changed at will.
These and other features and advantages of the present invention will be fully understood by referring to the following detailed description in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
Digital information to be distributed is separated into clear (i.e., unencrypted) portions and residual portions in accordance with methods described below. The residual portions are essentially the digital information with the clear portions removed. The clear portions are sent to processing units 310 and 340 via links 306 and 307, respectively. The residual portions are stored in central station 302 and will be encrypted before sending to processing units 310 and 340 upon demand. Central station 302 also takes care of various accounting and bookkeeping functions.
The structure of the processing units is substantially the same. Thus, only one of the units, in this case, unit 310, will be described in detail. Unit 310 contains a general processor 312 connected to a secure processor 314 through a communication link 316 (which could be wired or wireless). Secure processor 314 is connected to communication link 303 through a line 318. Secure processor 314 is enclosed by a protective mechanism so that unauthorized access (physical and electrical) to the internal circuitry can be prevented. Secure processor 314 is used to decrypt encrypted portions and temporarily store secret information (such as decryption keys and usage data). Unlike secure processor 314, general processor 312 does not have to be placed in a secure enclosure. Thus, it could be a conventional computer.
In system 300, general processor 312 is used to process the unencrypted data (e.g., decompression, filtering, and error correction) received from communication link 306 while secure processor 314 is used to process encrypted data (e.g., decryption and decompression) received from communication link 303. Secure processor 314 and general processor 312 can communicate with each other using communication link 316. This link does not have to be a secure communication link.
Secure processor 314 preferably contains a unique device ID. This device ID is preferably permanently stored in a nonvolatile memory 319, such as a ROM. The device ID allows secure processor 314 to identify itself to other devices, such as central station 302.
A typical operation of system 300 is now described. Information data is separated in residual data and unencrypted data according to methods described below. The residual data is preferably a small percentage of the unencrypted data. Unencrypted data 326 preferably contains an information ID 327 and a content portion 328. Content portion 328 could contain data relating to video, text, audio, or their combination.
Unencrypted data 326 is sent to general processor 312 of processing unit 310 through communication link 306. General processor 312 sends the information ID 327 to secure processor 314, which in turn forwards it to central station 302 via communication link 303. At the same time, the device ID stored in memory 319 is also sent to central station 302 so that it can keep track of usage and billing information. Central station 302 encrypts the corresponding residual data and sends the encrypted data to secure processor 314 via communication link 303. Because link 303 is not a secure link, special methods, described below, need to be used for central station 302 to securely send the corresponding decryption key to secure processor 314. Secure processor 314 decrypts the received encrypted data and combines the result with the unencrypted data so as to reconstruct the full digital information.
The key used for encrypting and decrypting the encrypted data could be different for each processing and communication session described above. Thus, it is more difficult for unauthorized persons to obtain the decryption key to decrypt the encrypted data. Even assuming that a few decryption keys are inadvertently disclosed to unauthorized persons, only a few pieces of information is compromised. This is different from the system disclosed in the prior art, where inadvertent disclosure of a single decryption key may compromise vast amount of information.
Processing unit 310 also contains an output unit 322, which may be connected to general processor 312 or secure processor 314. Depending on the information processed, output unit 322 may be a printer, loudspeaker, TV, or LCD display. In situations where it is not desirable to expose the reconstructed information, output unit 322 should be securely connected to secure processor 314.
Even though
Methods for separating information into unencrypted and residual portions are now described. It has been observed that information generally has a certain degree of correlation. At one extreme is information that is highly correlated. An example is video information that consists of a series of pictures depicting time progression of a scene. Each picture typically differs slightly from an adjacent picture in the series because the time difference in the scene depicted by adjacent pictures is typically less than 0.1 second. As a result, video information contains many pictures that are substantially the same. Consequently, it is easy to construct a picture missing from the series by interpolating from the pictures prior and subsequent to the missing picture. This type of information is considered to have a high degree of temporal correlation.
Video information also has another type of correlation. The spatial variation of a picture is typically very gentle. For example, if the picture is a human swimming in water, there is little variation (in terms of color and intensity) in the portion of the picture relating to water. Consequently, it may be easy to recreate a missing portion of a picture by interpolating from portions of the picture surrounding the missing portion. This type of information is considered to have a high degree of spatial correlation.
At the other extreme is information for which it is difficult to create a missing portion from other portions. This type of information has a low degree of correlation. An example of this type of information is the binary code of a piece of software. Typically, it is difficult to recreate a missing byte (or a series of missing bytes) from other bytes in the binary code.
In the middle of this spectrum of correlation is text information. The structure of many languages dictates that redundant words or letters be used at predetermined positions of a sentence. Thus, it is possible to guess missing words and letters in a sentence. For example, the grammar of the English language imposes a set of rules which includes putting the letter "s" at the end of a noun to designate plural quantity. In many sentences, the noun is not the only place where plural quantity is indicated. For example, the sentence "there are two birds" uses the word "two" to indicate the existence of more than one bird, in addition to the letter "s" attached to the word "bird." Thus, the letter "s" at the end of the word "bird" is correlated to the word "two" in the above sentence. Similarly, the word "are" is correlated with the word "two."
Information can also be classified according to its effect on intended uses if a portion of the information is missing. At one extreme is information that would be useless if a small portion were missing. An example is the binary code of a piece of software. A computer is unlikely to successfully execute the software if the binary code has a few erroneous bytes. This type of information is considered to be error intolerant. At the other extreme is information that degrades gracefully. For example, when noise of TV signal increases (i.e., portions of video information is missing or has erroneous values), color TV pictures often become monochrome. However, it is still possible to watch and comprehend the TV pictures, even though they are less pleasing to the eyes. This type of information is considered to be error tolerant. Error toleration can also be different depending on spatial or temporal types of errors.
It should be pointed out that even though the degree of error tolerance has some relationship to the degree of correlation of information, it does not depend solely on the degree of correlation. For example, a person typically does not tolerate a small distortion in a familiar song while may tolerate a large distortion in a new song, even though the degree of correlation of these two songs is the same. As another example, a reader is likely to tolerate a large number of missing words in a newspaper article. On the other hand, the same reader probably would not tolerate the same percentage of missing words in a poem. Thus, even though the degree of correlation of the newspaper article and poem may be the same (because they follow essentially the same grammar rules), the degree of error tolerance is different. This is because error tolerance depends, to a certain extent, on subjective considerations.
In the prior art information distribution and processing systems using cryptography, every bit of information is encrypted. One aspect of the present invention is the realization that it may not be necessary to completely encrypt the information, especially when it has a low degree of correlation. This is because it is often difficult to reconstruct the residual portions based on the clear portions of information. In addition, information that has a low degree of error tolerance may only need to be encrypted at a few critical places (e.g., the destination address of a jump op code, or the last name field of a customer database). This is because a user would not accept the information if a small portion were missing or erroneous. Thus, even though most of the information is in the clear, it is still not commercially useful if isolated portions are unavailable because they cannot be decrypted (i.e., people are still willing to pay a high price to obtain the full information, even though they already have 99 percent of the information). Since only a small portion of information need to be decrypted, the amount of computation power required to decrypt the information is reduced.
Encrypting a portion of information may also help to reduce the computation power required for other signal processing tasks. As an example, information which is massive and highly correlated (e.g., video information) is often compressed in order to reduce the amount of memory space used for storing and the bandwidth used for transmitting the information. Many compression methods make extensive use of the correlative nature of information. However, many encryption methods have a tendency to randomize information. For example, if the plain text is a string of identical letters, the encrypted text using algorithms such as DES may be a string of letters in which every letter is different. Consequently, it may be more difficult to compress the encrypted text.
The word "encryption" is used broadly in the present invention to include different ways of transforming information so that it is difficult for an unauthorized person to correctly understand the information. It includes transformation in which a key is required, such as public key and secret key encryption methods. It also includes scrambling information according to a secret algorithm without using a particular parameter that may be classified as a "key."
The word "information" is used broadly in the present invention to include data that is organized in some logical manner. Examples of information include video signal, audio signal, picture, graphic, computer software, text, database, and multimedia composition.
In another embodiment of the present invention, information is encrypted in different levels of security. In this embodiment, most of the information is encrypted using a method having a low level of security (instead of no encryption, as are the embodiments described above) and a portion of the information is encrypted using a method having a high level of security. Typically, the amount of computational power needed for decryption is positively related to the level of security. Thus, information encrypted using a method having a low level of security requires less time to decrypt.
An example of distributing graphic images using the above-described method is now described. Because of the rich information content of graphic images, they require a large number of bytes to digitize. Consequently, it is common to compress the digitized graphic images. One of the most popular methods is JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group). An application of the present invention to JPEG is now described. It should be appreciated that the same principle can be applied to other methods of processing graphic images.
It is known that human eye is less sensitive to color changes than to brightness changes. Thus, the chrominance component can be coded with more loss than the luminance component. For example, a widely used color scheme is CCIR 601, in which three components, Y, Cb, and Cr, are used. Under this color scheme, the Y component roughly represents the brightness of a color image, and can be used as a black-and-white version of the color image. The Cb and Cr components roughly represent the blueness and redness, respective, of the image.
JPEG works best when applied to color data expressed as luminance (brightness) and chrominance components because it allows these components to be sampled at different rate (i.e., subsampling). When JPEG is used to compress a YCbCv image, a fair common choice is to use one Cb and Cr sample for each four Y samples. Each of the sampled components is discrete cosine transformed and then quantized in accordance with a quantization table. The results of quantization are compressed using either a modified Huffman code or arithmetic coding.
If color fidelity is an important element of the images, it may be sufficient to encrypt only the Cb or Cr component in order to prevent unauthorized uses. In this case, only a small portion of the digital data needs to be encrypted.
The quantization table is stored in a JPEG file. In some situations, it may be sufficient to only encrypt the quantization table. Again, only a small portion of the digital data needs to be encrypted.
Video information 110 is separated by a signal processor 120 into modified video information 150 and central region information 130. The three frames 112, 114, and 116 of the video information 110 are transformed into three frames 152, 154, and 156, respectively, of modified video information 150. Frames in the modified video information 150 do not contain information in the centrally located regions 162, 164, and 166 (which correspond to centrally located regions 122, 124, and 126, respectively). On the other hand, the frames 132, 134, and 136 in the central region information 130 contain only information relating to the centrally located regions 122, 124, and 126.
In the method of the present invention, only the centrally region information 130 needs to be encrypted while the modified video information 150 can stay in the clear. The modified video information 150 is sent to general processor 170, which corresponds to general processor 312 of
In this embodiment, substantially the same region of all the frames (i.e., frames corresponding to all times from beginning to end) are encrypted. Thus, it is not possible for an unauthorized person to take advantage of temporal correlation to reconstruct the centrally located regions because there is no basis to perform interpolation. It is also difficult to take advantage of spatial correlation near the center of the frame because there is little unencrypted data available at areas surrounding the center.
Stated in a slightly different way, the method disclosed above encrypts substantially all the correlated portions of the information. Since almost none of the correlated portions are in the clear, it is impossible to bypass the correlated portions by using techniques such as interpolation.
The size of the regions 122, 124 and 126 depends on the degree of error tolerance. If spatial error tolerance is low (i.e., a user will not tolerate even a small amount of erroneous spatial information), the size of the regions 122, 124 and 126 could be small. Further, for situations where temporal error tolerance is low, it is not necessary to encrypt the entire frame.
The reason for positioning the encrypted region at the center is to take advantage of the fact that the most informative area of a picture is usually the center. It may be advantageous to encrypt several regions (instead of only one centrally located region). This is because the most informative region in some cases may not be located at the center. Further, the size and shape of the encrypted regions may vary from frame to frame, as long as information relating to these sizes and shapes is transmitted to secure processor 140. As a result, secure processor 140 is able to reconstruct the video frames.
The encrypted region can also be selected using statistical methods. For example, the correlation within and between frames can be determined by a correlation coefficient r defined as
One of the advantages of the method of
A software distribution and processing system 400 in accordance with the present invention is shown in
Computer 410 is coupled to a secure processor 420 that contains means 421 for preventing unauthorized probing into its internal structure (both mechanical and electrical). The communication between computer 410 and secure processor 420 does not have to be secure. Secure processor 420 could be a board inserted into a bus of computer 410 or an external device coupled to an input/output port of computer 410. If it is possible to integrate all the functions of secure processor 420 into a chip, secure processor could be incorporated directly into the motherboard of computer 410.
Secure processor 420 contains a nonvolatile storage area 422 (e.g., ROM) for storing, among other data, a secret key and a device ID that is unique to the secure processor. Secure processor 420 also contains a communication interface 424 for communicating with a central station 446 via a communicating link 448. Communicating link 448 does not have to be secure, and can be a regular telephone line or wireless link. Communication link 448 can also be a broadcasting channel wherein central station 446 can broadcast information to software distribution and processing system located in a large number of user sites.
Preferably, communication interface 424 contains means for error detection and correction. Communication interface 424 preferably contains means for allowing mutual authentication between secure processor 420 and central station 446. Such authentication means are well known. Examples of such means are disclosed in "Applied Cryptography: Protocols, Algorithms, and Source Code in C," published 1994 by John Wiley & Sons., Inc., and the references cited therein.
Communication interface 424 also contains means for allowing central station 446 to send a decryption key and other secret data to secure processor 420, preferably after authentication has been confirmed. It also allows secure processor 420 to send secret data, such as accounting data, to central station 446. Means for sending data (e.g., keys) securely via an insecure communication channel are well known. Examples of such means are key exchange protocols disclosed in "Applied Cryptography: Protocols, Algorithms, and Source Code in C," published 1994 by John Wiley & Sons, Inc., and the references cited therein.
If communication link 448 is a broadcasting communication link, central station 446 can broadcast the key and secret data on link 448. Communication interface 424 can listen to link 448 and retrieve information directed thereto. Other software distribution and processing systems connected to link 448 would not be able to retrieve such information. Examples of secret broadcasting are also disclosed in "Applied Cryptography Protocols, Algorithms, and Source Code in C," published 1994 by John Wiley & Sons, Inc., and the references cited therein.
Secure processor 420 contains an internal processor 428 and RAM 430 that together perform, among other tasks, authentication, decryption, and/or decompression. The central station 446 may also send instructions (in encrypted form) to internal processor 428 for execution. These instructions may be part of a decryption algorithm for decryption a particular piece of encrypted data sent by central station 446 to secure processor 420. The instruction set of internal processor 428 is preferably hidden from the general public. As a result, it is difficult for an unauthorized person to execute these instructions, even if the decryption key is inadvertently discovered by such person.
Secure processor 420 also contains RAM 432 for storing accounting data. Examples of accounting data are the number of times a user played a distributed software, the length of time a user executes the software, and personal data of a user, such as his/her credit card number. At predetermined time intervals, the accounting data is communicated to central station 446 via communication link 448 using the above described key exchange protocols. In order to maintain the accounting data even when regular power to secure processor 420 is disrupted, a battery backup means 434 is preferably included in secure processor 420.
Secure processor 420 contains a video interface 436 for generating analog video signal for display by an external display monitor 450. In order to prevent unauthorized copying of the analog video signal, means 438 for generating analog copy protection signal is included in video interface 436.
As an example, the use of software distribution and processing system 400 to process movie is now described. It should be obvious to use system 400 for processing other types of software. A digitized version of the movie is separated into two sets of data in accordance with the methods described above: a plain-text portion and a residual portion. These two sets of data also contain linkage information and identification labels allowing secret processor 420 to later combine these two sets of data to reconstruct the original digitized movie. These sets of data are compressed using a publicly known algorithm (such as MPEG) or a proprietary algorithm. The compressed plain-text data is recorded in a portable storage medium (e.g., CD-ROM) or stored in a central library (which could be located at central station 446). The CD-ROMs are distributed to users at nominal costs.
A user who desires to play the movie can insert the CD-ROM to input interface 412 of computer 410 or connect input interface 412 to the central library via link 414, depending on the manner the plain-text data is distributed. Computer 410 decompressed the received data. It also retrieves the movie identification label from the received data and sends the label to secure processor 420. Secure processor 420 initiates an authentication procedure with central station 446. Upon confirmation of authenticity, secure processor 420 transmits the label and its device ID (stored in ROM 422) to central station 446. Central station 446 retrieves the corresponding residual portion of the digitized movie, in response to the received label. Central station 446 also generates an encryption-decryption key-pair (which could be the same or different keys, depending on the encryption method used) for encrypting the residual data. The decryption key is sent to secure processor 420 using a secure communication protocol described above. The encrypted portion of the digitized movie is also sent to secure processor 420.
In this embodiment, the encryption-decryption key-pair could be different for different communication sessions. Thus, the information providers have full control of the keys instead of relying on keys imposed by third parties. As pointed out above, prior art information distribution systems rely on cryptographic technology at the time the information is recorded on CD-ROM, which could be more than a year before a user decrypts the information. On the other hand, the present invention allows information providers to use the most advanced cryptographic technology at the time the information is used.
The present invention also allows information providers to tailor the encryption-decryption key-pair to their needs. Thus, if the information is extremely valuable, an information provider can use a secure encryption algorithm (with the associated increase in computation requirements). On the other hand, if the information is not quite valuable, the information provider can use a moderate secure algorithm.
Secure processor 420 decompresses and decrypts the encryption residual data using the decryption key received from the central station 446. At the same time, computer 410 sends the plain-text data to secure processor 420. Secure processor 420 combines the data and reconstructs the original digitized movie data. The result is sent to video interface 436.
In response to the digitized movie data, video interface 436 generates analog video signal. Even though the above described method and device is able to distribute and process digital signals securely, the analog output video signal could be recorded and copied. Thus, it may be desirable to include a system of analog copy protection 438 in video interface 436. Examples of such a system are described in U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,577,216 and 4,631,603 issued to Ryan. Alternatively, digital signals for generating analog copy protection signal may be embedded into the digitized movie data.
In another embodiment of system 400, the "unencrypted" set of data is actually encrypted using a simple encryption algorithm. This embodiment increases the cost of the system, and in return, improves the security of the system. Thus, the present invention offers different level of security to match the need of the information providers.
There has thus shown and described a novel information distribution and process system. Many changes, modifications, variations and other uses and application of the subject invention will become apparent to those skilled in the art after considering this specification and the accompanying drawings. All such changes, modifications, variations, uses, and applications are covered by the scope of this invention which is limited only by the appended claims.

Local writer to discuss 'The 52/52 Project'Written by Vicki L. Kroll | | email@example.com
As Sherry Stanfa-Stanley approached the mid-century mark — plus two — the forecast called for calm and predictable with a slight chance of adventure. But a sweeping bold front brought excitement and a hail of a lot of fun.
The director of communication and fund stewardship at the University of Toledo Foundation challenged herself with a new experience every week for one year.
For "The 52/52 Project: Detours off the Cul-de-sac," she:
- Suited up as Rocksy the mascot for a UT soccer game.
- Babysat quadruplets.
- Wore pajamas in public for a day.
- Rode with police and went on a raid with the vice squad and SWAT team.
- Spent 24 hours with nuns at a convent in Joliet, Illinois.
- Visited a nude beach in Florida — and took her 75-year-old mother, Gloria Stanfa, a retired UT secretary, who said, "Be sure to mention I was clothed."
- Performed as a mime outside a shopping center in Newport, Kentucky.
- Crashed a wedding reception — and caught the bride's bouquet.
She'll talk about her amazing, crazy, inspiring year at 7 p.m., July 28, at the Way Public Library, 101 E. Indiana Ave., Perrysburg.
"The Way Library's programming specialist read about 'The 52/52 Project' in a winter issue of the UT Alumni magazine and contacted me. I can only assume they were desperate for speakers," Stanfa-Stanley said and laughed.
That sense of humor and her thoughtful observations have more than 3,500 followers on her project's Facebook page. The 1983 UT graduate's exploits are chronicled on facebook.com/The52at52Project, at sherrystanfa-stanley.com and will be the subject of her forthcoming book. At the library's free event, Stanfa-Stanley will discuss how she decided to change her life.
"I hope people realize that if I could add some excitement and enlightenment to my life by pushing my boundaries, anyone can," she said. "I hope everyone who's never envisioned embarking on an 'unbucket list' will walk away pondering, smiling and simultaneously nodding and shaking their head."
For the past five years, the 52-year-old has been making folks laugh on her blog and has been featured on humorpress.com and The Rumpus. In 2012, a piece she wrote was included in a humor anthology, "Fifty Shades of Funny: Hook-ups, Break-ups and Crack-ups," which was co-edited by her sister, DC Stanfa, a 1982 UT alumna.
What will the witty writer do for an encore?
"As I wind up the project, I'm filled with a sense of accomplishment and relief. Yet as the weeks pass, I know I'll feel a bit of a void in my life. So I'm already planning some kind of new adventure for this next year, probably starting in the fall," Stanfa-Stanley said. "All I can say is that it should prove fun, challenging and more interactive for those following 'The 52/52 Project.' Stay tuned."

(Release: December 5, 2012) - Beginning in the spring semester, Hagerstown Community College will offer a twice-yearly police academy, designed to prepare cadets to serve as officers/deputies in county and municipal police and sheriff departments. Former Gaithersburg Chief of Police John King has been hired to serve as the director.
HCC has been working closely with the Hagerstown Police Department and Washington County Sheriff's Office to develop this program, in an effort to fill the need for local police training and incorporate college credits from the academy that would apply toward an HCC associate's degree.
"By combining hard skills training and academics, there is a tremendous opportunity here," said King. "In five years, I want our program to be recognized in the Mid-Atlantic region as a leader in community policing training."
King most recently served as director of education and training for the Baltimore Police Department. He served as Gaithersburg chief of police from 2007 to 2010. Prior to that, he had a 26-year career with the Montgomery County (Md.) Police Department. He has a bachelor's degree from Marist College and a master's degree from the University of Baltimore.
The creation of this police academy at HCC is a significant step in moving forward the plans for the proposed Public Safety Training Center that have been discussed between officials at HCC and leaders in the community's fire and rescue, emergency services, and police/sheriff departments. Under the proposal, a training center would be built on the HCC campus to include training for each of these areas of public safety.
HCC's Police Academy is a six-month program. Graduates will receive a certificate from the Maryland Police and Correctional Training Commissions (MPCTC) and a certificate from HCC.
Cadets in HCC's Police Academy can be department-sponsored or self-sponsored and must meet the program's selective entry requirements. The first class will accommodate up to 20 students, and will provide lecture and field training, including the use of HCC's state-of-the-art firearms training simulator. For more information, contact King at 240-500-2425 or email@example.com.

- Tumor inhibition by genomically integrated inducible RNAi-cassettes (2006)
- RNA interference (RNAi) has emerged as a powerful tool to induce loss-of-function phenotypes by post-transcriptional silencing of gene expression. In this study we wondered whether inducible RNAi-cassettes integrated into cellular DNA possess the power to trigger neoplastic growth. For this purpose inducible RNAi vectors containing tetracycline (Tet)-responsive derivatives of the H1 promoter for the conditional expression of short hairpin RNA (shRNA) were used to target human polo-like kinase 1 (Plk1), which is overexpressed in a broad spectrum of human tumors. In the absence of doxycycline (Dox) HeLa clones expressing TetR, that carry the RNAi-cassette stably integrated, exhibited no significant alteration in Plk1 expression levels. In contrast, exposure to Dox led to marked downregulation of Plk1 mRNA to 3% and Plk1 protein to 14% in cell culture compared to mismatch shRNA/Plk1-expressing cells. As a result of Plk1 depletion cell proliferation decreased to 17%. Furthermore, for harnessing RNAi for silencing disease-related genes in vivo we transplanted inducible RNAi-HeLa cells onto nude mice. After administration of Dox knockdown of Plk1 expression was observed correlating to a significant inhibition of tumor growth. Taken together, our data revealed that genomically integrated RNAi-elements are suitable to hamper tumor growth by conditional expression of shRNA.
- Adaptor SKAP-55 binds p21ras activating exchange factor RasGRP1 and negatively regulates the p21ras-ERK pathway in T-Cells (2008)
- While the adaptor SKAP-55 mediates LFA-1 adhesion on T-cells, it is not known whether the adaptor regulates other aspects of signaling. SKAP-55 could potentially act as a node to coordinate the modulation of adhesion with downstream signaling. In this regard, the GTPase p21ras and the extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) pathway play central roles in T-cell function. In this study, we report that SKAP-55 has opposing effects on adhesion and the activation of the p21ras -ERK pathway in T-cells. SKAP-55 deficient primary T-cells showed a defect in LFA-1 adhesion concurrent with the hyper-activation of the ERK pathway relative to wild-type cells. RNAi knock down (KD) of SKAP-55 in T-cell lines also showed an increase in p21ras activation, while over-expression of SKAP-55 inhibited activation of ERK and its transcriptional target ELK. Three observations implicated the p21ras activating exchange factor RasGRP1 in the process. Firstly, SKAP-55 bound to RasGRP1 via its C-terminus, while secondly, the loss of binding abrogated SKAP-55 inhibition of ERK and ELK activation. Thirdly, SKAP-55−/− primary T-cells showed an increased presence of RasGRP1 in the trans-Golgi network (TGN) following TCR activation, the site where p21ras becomes activated. Our findings indicate that SKAP-55 has a dual role in regulating p21ras-ERK pathway via RasGRP1, as a possible mechanism to restrict activation during T-cell adhesion.
- Targeting cyclin B1 inhibits proliferation and sensitizes breast cancer cells to taxol (2008)
- Background Cyclin B1, the regulatory subunit of cyclin-dependent kinase 1 (Cdk1), is essential for the transition from G2 phase to mitosis. Cyclin B1 is very often found to be overexpressed in primary breast and cervical cancer cells as well as in cancer cell lines. Its expression is correlated with the malignancy of gynecological cancers. Methods In order to explore cyclin B1 as a potential target for gynecological cancer therapy, we studied the effect of small interfering RNA (siRNA) on different gynecological cancer cell lines by monitoring their proliferation rate, cell cycle profile, protein expression and activity, apoptosis induction and colony formation. Tumor formation in vivo was examined using mouse xenograft models. Results Downregulation of cyclin B1 inhibited proliferation of several breast and cervical cancer cell lines including MCF-7, BT-474, SK-BR-3, MDA-MB-231 and HeLa. After combining cyclin B1 siRNA with taxol, we observed an increased apoptotic rate accompanied by an enhanced antiproliferative effect in breast cancer cells. Furthermore, control HeLa cells were progressively growing, whereas the tumor growth of HeLa cells pre-treated with cyclin B1 siRNA was strongly inhibited in nude mice, indicating that cyclin B1 is indispensable for tumor growth in vivo. Conclusion Our data support the notion of cyclin B1 being essential for survival and proliferation of gynecological cancer cells. Concordantly, knockdown of cyclin B1 inhibits proliferation in vitro as well as in vivo. Moreover, targeting cyclin B1 sensitizes breast cancer cells to taxol, suggesting that specific cyclin B1 targeting is an attractive strategy for the combination with conventionally used agents in gynecological cancer therapy.
- Toxicity modelling of Plk1-targeted therapies in genetically engineered mice and cultured primary mammalian cells (2011)
- High attrition rates of novel anti-cancer drugs highlight the need for improved models to predict toxicity. Although polo-like kinase 1 (Plk1) inhibitors are attractive candidates for drug development, the role of Plk1 in primary cells remains widely unexplored. Therefore, we evaluated the utility of an RNA interference-based model to assess responses to an inducible knockdown (iKD) of Plk1 in adult mice. Here we show that Plk1 silencing can be achieved in several organs, although adverse events are rare. We compared responses in Plk1-iKD mice with those in primary cells kept under controlled culture conditions. In contrast to the addiction of many cancer cell lines to the non-oncogene Plk1, the primary cells' proliferation, spindle assembly and apoptosis exhibit only a low dependency on Plk1. Responses to Plk1-depletion, both in cultured primary cells and in our iKD-mouse model, correspond well and thus provide the basis for using validated iKD mice in predicting responses to therapeutic interventions.
- SKAP1 protein PH domain determines RapL membrane localization and Rap1 protein complex formation for T cell receptor (TCR) activation of LFA-1 (2011)
- Although essential for T cell function, the identity of the T cell receptor (TCR) "inside-out" pathway for the activation of lymphocyte function-associated antigen 1 (LFA-1) is unclear. SKAP1 (SKAP-55) is the upstream regulator needed for TCR-induced RapL-Rap1 complex formation and LFA-1 activation. In this paper, we show that SKAP1 is needed for RapL binding to membranes in a manner dependent on the PH domain of SKAP1 and the PI3K pathway. A SKAP1 PH domain-inactivating mutation (i.e. R131M) markedly impaired RapL translocation to membranes for Rap1 and LFA-1 binding and the up-regulation of LFA-1-intercellular adhesion molecule 1 (ICAM-1) binding. Further, N-terminal myr-tagged SKAP1 for membrane binding facilitated constitutive RapL membrane and Rap1 binding and effectively substituted for PI3K and TCR ligation in the activation of LFA-1 in T cells.

Since it took me FOREVER to try to figure this out, I thought that I would (try to) show you how it is made.
my assistant, andrew, working the remote
This is where the directions became very confusing for me. The directions have you holding your finger under the needle wrapping yarn, blah blah blah. (They lost me there). What I did was, insert the tip of the right hand needle into the stitches on the left as if to knit normally.
Move it down your needle and knit the stitch normally.
Those few threads on the top of the needle become the yarn.
Slide it down,
and off. If you knit into the same color on every row then your scarf will be the same color on both sides.
If you reverse the color, that you knit into, every row, then your scarf will be reversible. (confused?) I knit one row into the light pink. Then at the end of that row, flipped the yarn and went into the dark pink. This made it light pink on one side, dark pink on the other.

After years of topping national rankings of domestic violence homicides, South Carolina is getting some help from the federal government in the fight to stop the bloodshed.
By the numbers
North Charleston domestic-related homicides:2011 1 2012 1 Criminal domestic violence victims:2011 958 2012 910 Source: N. Charleston Police
A major milestone in that fight was marked Wednesday when Vice President Joe Biden announced that North Charleston is among 12 cities to receive a grant to battle those killings. The grant, estimated to be about $200,000, will help a group of Lowcountry agencies combat the problem in the state's third largest city.

Biden and U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder announced the award, which is part of a $2.3 million effort by the U.S. Justice Department to curb domestic violence homicides across the nation.
"We have to do everything in our power, every single thing in our power to keep these tragedies from occurring," Biden said during a press conference in Maryland. "We can do more to prevent these tragedies from happening." The city of North Charleston, Medical University of South Carolina's National Crime Victims Research and Treatment Center and My Sister's House will participate in the local program. North Charleston's grants administrator, Shannon Praete, said the exact amount of the grant and the project's start date are still unclear. They're still waiting for the award letter.
The effort, dubbed the Domestic Violence Homicide Prevention Initiative, helps local jurisdictions reduce domestic violence killings by identifying potential victims and monitoring high-risk offenders. It's modeled after programs in Massachusetts and Maryland, where groups have reduced those types of murders, federal officials said.
The program would allow for further research and analysis into domestic violence cases, looking at past behaviors by those involved in the relationships. By identifying potential red flags, social services within the community could intervene before the relationship ends in bloodshed, according to North Charleston Deputy Police Chief Scott Deckard.
But before the city can start solving the dilemma, it needs to finish identifying where the root of the problem lies.
The grant is for one year. During that time, the city needs to perform a thorough assessment of the community and see where it can improve its system, whether through better reporting of crimes, making changes to the court process or holding offenders more accountable, according to Alyssa Rheingold, director of clinical operations for MUSC's crime victims center.
Once the city submits that information, it will wait and hope it is provided with grant funding for two more years to execute the program in North Charleston and finally curb the sad statistic. "Yes, I believe it can work," Rheingold said.
But first, culture and attitudes about dealing with domestic violence need to be adjusted in the state, according to Rheingold. Last year, the state was ranked second nationally for the number of women murdered by men by the Violence Policy Center, a Washington, D.C.-based advocacy group. In North Charleston, electronic signs along Rivers Avenue urge people to report acts of domestic violence. Larry McCravy and his wife, Debbie, are strong believers in making a culture change. The Charleston couple lost their only child, Leslie McCravy, to domestic violence in 2007. Police reports indicate McCravy was shot and killed by her boyfriend, who then turned the gun on himself and also died.
"It's something you never get over," Larry McCravy said. "You do the best you can."
The day before McCravy and Deshawn Wright were found dead inside a Byrnes Downs home, Wright had pointed a gun at McCravy and threatened her, according to a friend of hers.
"We didn't know anything about it," Larry McCravy said. "She kept that from us."
The McCravys have been working with others to shed light on the domestic violence problem plaguing South Carolina. If parents are talking to their kids about sex and drugs, why not too about domestic violence, McCravy proposes.
"Domestic violence should be one of 'the talks.' We certainly didn't talk about it. We didn't have any experience with domestic violence," he said.
Larry McCravy said he's thrilled the state is getting help to tackle the problem of domestic violence head-on.

On Monday, November 7, 2011 the City of Antlers Council members gathered for their monthly meeting at the Antlers City Hall. The meeting began at 5:00 p.m. by being called to order, a quorum was established and invocation was given.
The main order of this months meeting was to discuss and consider resolution number 2011-11, A resolution authorizing the calling and holding of a special election for the City of Antlers to put in place an excise tax of 7.5% in addition to all other city and state taxes upon gross receipts from hotels and motel rooms. This additional tax revenue would be used for street improvements and tourism with street repairs receiving 5% of the tax revenues and tourism to receive 2.5% of revenues. This tax will be added as a special election to the School Elections that are set to take place in February 2012.
What does this mean for residents of Antlers? Nothing really unless you regularly rent hotel or motel rooms in the city. This tax will only affect people who rent motel and hotel rooms and in no way is an increase in taxes for all residents in Antlers. The only way a resident of Antlers would have to pay this tax is if they rent a hotel or motel room. Antlers is currently one of the only cities in the area that doesn't already have this type of tax in place. All moneys collected from this tax will go for street repairs and tourism, both to better our community. Once again, this is not an additional tax on residents of Antlers, just people how rent hotel and motel rooms within the City limits.
The next City Council meeting is December 5, 2011 at 5:00 p.m. at the Antlers City Hall. These meetings are open to the public.

NJCAA Men's Basketball Players of the Week - Nov. 1-11November 14, 2012
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. – Chris Jones (Northwest Florida State), Mark Gilchrese (Parkland College, Ill.) and Bacarius Dinkins (Mesabi Range CTC, Minn.) have been named NJCAA men's basketball players of the week for games up to Nov. 11.
Jones saw his success from last season carry over to the opening of his 2012-13 campaign with two outstanding performances for the Raiders. In an 80-72 win over Atlanta Metro College (Ga.), Jones posted a career-high 38 points, hitting 15-of-22 shots from the field. The sophomore came back the next day against Georgia Perimeter College and recorded a double-double with 28 points and 10 rebounds in a 96-93 double-overtime victory. On the week, Jones averaged 33.0 points, 8.0 rebounds, 4.0 assists and 5.5 steals per game.
Leading the Cobras to three wins over Division I programs, Gilchrese was named MVP of last week's Lake Land Classic. The sophomore averaged 15.2 points, 5.2 rebounds and 6.0 assists in four games. Against Lake Land College (Ill.), Gilchrese tallied a double-double with 18 points and 10 boards. No. 25 Highland CC (Ill.) from DI tried to slow down Gilchrese but the guard responded by passing the ball and racked up nine assists.
In his first two collegiate games last week, Dinkins established himself as one of the nation's premier forwards in Division III. In Mesabi Range's 75-61 victory against Wisconsin-Barron County, the freshman debuted with 41 points, 11 rebounds and six steals. Dinkins came back the next day with 32 points and 15 rebounds in a 86-70 win over Rainy River CC (Minn.). For the week, Dinkins averaged 36.5 points, 13.0 rebounds and three steals per game.

This might seem like a weird question if you're a protestant and really like C.S. Lewis, but as a Catholic, I don't see him as ever espousing particularly non-catholic positions and he is very well read at Catholic universities.
His faith journey closely parallels G.K. Chesterton, although he comes from a more intellectual background and GKC converted from nothing to Anglicanism to Catholicism, but Lewis never made the final jump.
I read Pilgrim's Regress and understand he had a few things to say about Catholics, but in general, we like him, so why didn't he like us? One of his best friends, J.R.R Tolkien (who was largely responsible for his conversion), was Catholic so what made him not Catholic?

A planned elementary school near the Tanner, Foster Creek area of Hanahan is on hold after the city has not rezoned the 12 acres set aside for it and the developer has not renewed its land purchase contract with the school district.
The district released a statement May 13 saying the City of Hanahans unwillingness to rezone the tract, known as the Bowen tract, has indefinitely delayed the scheduled August 2015 opening of the school.
In the statement, the district said it would continue to pursue all other nearby locations based on the continued overcrowding conditions at Hanahan Elementary School and Goose Creek Primary School.

When they were purchased at a local auction in the late 50's, a discerning buyer noticed handwritten inscriptions on the sides of several of the pieces in the group-scribed in fountain pen. The words were poetic and reflective. The newfound owner was so moved that she investigated a hunch further, aware that the beloved poet, Edna St. Vincent Millay had grown up nearby. After pulling out the desk drawer, the initials EM were evidenced under the crumpled liner paper.

We've posted plenty of F30 spy photos and videos, but this is a first — a F30 335i with blue front brake calipers. Despite their color, the brakes on this prototype don't appear to be larger or a special design compared to other F30 335i prototypes, so it could be cosmetic only (perhaps as part of a special package). BMW does seem to have an affinity for blue brakes recently, as seen on the F10 M5. Or, these brakes could be for testing purposes only.
