NEW HAVEN, Conn., July 8, 2014 – 2014 Wimbledon Champion and World No. 4 Petra Kvitova, 2014 Wimbledon Finalist and World No. 7 Genie Bouchard, and Defending Champion and World No. 3 Simona Halep headline the field, which has collectively won 14 Grand Slam and 188 WTA singles and doubles titles, for the 2014 Connecticut Open presented by United Technologies, it was announced today by Tournament Director Anne Worcester. The WTA event, which is part of the Emirates Airline US Open Series, will be held August 15-23, 2014 at the Connecticut Tennis Center at Yale,
Kvitova, the 2012 Connecticut Open Champion, marched through the Wimbledon fortnight the past two weeks to grab her second career Grand Slam title in four years, becoming just the third two-time winner in women's singles since 1996. The Czech star defeated Bouchard in the final, the first Grand Slam final of the young star's career. The 20-year-old has rapidly ascended the rankings to become the highest-ranked Canadian player in history, thanks to semifinals appearances at both the Australian and French Opens, along with capturing her first WTA title at Nurnberg. This will be her first appearance at the Connecticut Open.
Halep is having a career season highlighted by a finals appearance at the French Open, reaching the semifinals of Wimbledon, and winning the title in Doha, all of which have catapulted her to a career-high ranking of No. 3 in the world. She returns to defend her 2013 Connecticut Open title, where she defeated Kvitova to win the trophy.
Aside from Halep, Kvitova and Bouchard, five other players in this year's Connecticut Open field are ranked in the WTA top 20 including No. 15 and four-time Connecticut Open Champion Caroline Wozniacki, who will be chasing a record fifth title in New Haven (currently tied with Venus Williams with four Connecticut Open titles). In addition to Wozniacki, No. 13 Flavia Pennetta, who won in Indian Wells earlier this year; No. 14 and 2012 French Open finalist Sara Errani; No. 16 Carla Suarez-Navarro, who will be making her fourth Connecticut Open appearance; and No. 19 Ekaterina Makarova, a Grand Slam doubles champion, who advanced to the quarterfinals at New Haven last year, will compete for the title.
Joining the top-20 stars in this year's field are American Coco Vandeweghe, a former US Open Junior Champion who also triumphed at s'-Hertogenbosh to capture her first WTA title; Garbine Muguruza, who advanced to this year's French Open quarterfinals and defeated World No. 1 Serena Williams along the way; Roberta Vinci, who teamed with Errani to complete the doubles Grand Slam at this year's Wimbledon; Shuai Zhang, who advanced to the semifinals at Birmingham, Kuala Lumpur and Acapulco this year; Barbora Zahlavova-Strycova, who advanced to the Wimbledon quarterfinals and made a finals appearance in Birmingham, England; Klara Koukalova, a victor in Florianopolis and finals attendee in Rio de Janeiro and Hobart; Elina Svitolina, who advanced to the semifinals in Nurnberg; and Casey Dellacqua, a Birmingham semifinalist.
Rounding out the field are Magdalena Rybarikova, a four-time WTA tournament winner and semifinalist at s'-Hertogenbosch; Kurumi Nara, winner in Rio de Janeiro; Camila Giorgi, who advanced to the finals in Katowice; and Bojana Jovanovski.
"The 2014 Connecticut Open presented by United Technologies player field is loaded with talent – Wimbledon Champion Petra Kvitova and Wimbledon Finalist Genie Bouchard; Defending Connecticut Open Champion Simona Halep and four-time Connecticut Open Champion Caroline Wozniacki; and rising stars such as Spaniard Garbine Muguruza and American Coco Vandeweghe," said Worcester. "All told, we have three of the top 10 players in the world, eight of the top 20, and with the men's event featuring James Blake, Andy Roddick and Jim Courier, the tournament promises to be exceptionally entertaining this year."
On Wednesday, August 20, Fairfield native James Blake, a two-time Connecticut Open Champion and former top-five ranked player, will matchup against Jim Courier, a four-time Grand Slam Champion and former World No. 1. On Thursday, August 21, Blake will face-off against Andy Roddick, another former World No. 1 and Grand Slam Champion. Both matches will be played following the 7:00 p.m. WTA feature match on their respective nights, and they will be best of three sets, with a super tie-break played for the third set. In addition, fans interested in participating in a Pro-Am with these American stars before the matches, or who want to capitalize on a party complete with dinner and a "meet and greet," should visit www.ctopen.org for more information.
The field will be completed in the coming weeks with the addition of four wildcards, which the tournament will award, and the addition of six players who will advance through the 48 player qualifying draw. The first two seeds at the tournament will receive a bye.

HBO's Game Change

Re: HBO's Game Change
I read the book right after it came out. It was a very good book.
The bulk of the book was actually about the democratic candidates: Obama, Clinton, Edwards, with probably only 1/4 of the book being about McCain and Palin. Furthermore, at the time of the book's publication, the big revelations from it were about the
and, to a lesser extent, some intemperate remarks by
Bill Clinton
Harry Reid
. Conversely, by the time of publication, there was really no big surprise in learning that Palin was ill-prepared at the time she ran for VP. That was pretty clear from watching Katie Couric live as it happened.
In fact, the title of the book, "Game Change," was about Obama and the Clintons. Obama, widely seen as an underdog was able to "change the game," win the election and, ultimately, have Hillary Clinton work for him.
And, yet, from what I understand, the movie has none of that. Instead it was all about a minor--and well trod--part of the book.
Combine that with the fact the director is a democrat
and, right or wrong, it would tend to make conservatives suspicious.

Oracle ADF Swing is a rich client technology in the Oracle Application Development Framework (Oracle ADF). Oracle ADF Swing is fully compatible with Java Swing and adds a thin layer to the client application so that standard Java components can work with the Oracle ADF data binding libraries. To enable ADF data binding in your Java client application, use the Create ADF Swing Empty Form dialog to generate a form that contains ADF-specific code.
The Create ADF Swing Empty Form dialog will generate an empty Java client frame that is enabled as a databound Business Components client form. In the dialog, the form name you enter becomes the Java class that defines the frame for holding databound user interface (UI) components in separate panels.
When you click OK, JDeveloper creates the empty client form with a default data panel container, navigation bar, and menu bar. JDeveloper also generates the code needed to initialize the ADF Swing form for data binding, and displays the initial client form in the Java visual editor.
Using JDeveloper's Java visual editor, you can quickly and easily assemble the elements of a graphical user interface (GUI) for a Java application using Swing components from the Component Palette. You construct the GUI with JavaBeans (such as buttons, text areas, lists, dialogs, and menus) by dragging and dropping selected components from the Component Palette. You set the values of the component properties and attach event-handler code to the component events in the Property Inspector.
The initial client form in the visual editor is empty because it contains no databound UI components. When you use the Data Controls panel to lay out the databound UI with ADF Swing components, the code that binds the UI components to ADF Business Components view objects will be added for you.
In the Structure window you will see a hierarchical view of all the components in your client form, and their relationships. Non-menu GUI items for the object appear under a node labeled UI. The dataPanel component is the container that will hold the databound UI components that you will add later. Any menu items appear under a node labeled Menu. Any non-GUI items appear under a node labeled Other.
Selecting elements in either the Structure window or the Java visual editor changes the selection in the Property Inspector as well.
In the Application Navigator you will see the files generated by JDeveloper:
The generated files are:
DataBindings.cpx file. It contains the class path relative path for the
.cpx file (and other ADF metadata files) in the project. When the project is built, the
adfm.xml file is put in

ATLANTA – News of a Georgia Lottery prize in Baldwin County has gone viral, and the smile of one physician's office manager has become infectious. Terresa Smith of Milledgeville has won a $25,000 prize playing the new instant game Cash Payout.
"I just stopped and bought a ticket," said Smith, 40. "I just picked one."
Smith, who intends to save her winnings, claimed her prize Tuesday at the Georgia Lottery's District Office in Macon.
Discount Mart, located at 1660 N. Columbia St. in Milledgeville, sold the winning ticket. Smith scratched the lucky ticket in her car.
"It took about 15 minutes for me to realize that it was real," she said. "It's still unbelievable."
Cash Payout is a $5 instant game loaded with cash prizes of up to $225,000.
Since its first year, the Georgia Lottery Corp. has returned more than $13.6 billion to the state of Georgia for education. All Georgia Lottery profits go to pay for specific educational programs, including Georgia's HOPE Scholarship Program and Georgia's Pre-K Program. More than 1.4 million students have received HOPE, and more than 1.1 million 4-year-olds have attended the statewide, voluntary prekindergarten program.

Vanderbilt names redshirt freshman Robinette as starting quarterback against Texas A&M
Vanderbilt head coach James Franklin said Tuesday that despite starting quarterback Austyn Carta-Samuels injuring his leg a week ago, practice would determine if redshirt freshman Patton Robinette would start against Texas A&M on Saturday.
According to The Tennessean, Franklin announced Thursday morning that Robinette would be the starter when the Commodores take to Kyle Field.
"Austyn is out and Patton is our starter until we feel like there is a chance where Austyn may be able to come back later in the season," Franklin said to Jeff Lockridge of The Tennessean.
"Patton is the starter. Josh Grady is the backup. And that's just for this game. There's always an open competition for every position, so Josh will have the ability to compete for the job. But Austyn, based on the information I have right now, is out this week and then we'll see what the future holds."
Robinette played the final eight series of Vanderbilt's 31-27 upset win over Georgia a week ago, scoring a rushing touchdown. The 6-foot-4 Robinette will be making his first start for the Commodores.

Owners don't count on big profits, but can hook new diners
New Restaurant Week app
On the go: The Restaurant Association has introduced a new app devoted to Restaurant Week that is available for iPhones and Android devices.
Win a VIP package: Users who download the app have the opportunity to win a La Jolla Concours d'Elegance VIP package that includes a two-night stay at the La Valencia Hotel in La Jolla, a $200 dining gift card to a La Jolla restaurant, and two VIP tickets to the April 7 La Jolla Concours d'Elegance — an annual celebration of the top automobiles and collections at the La Jolla Cove with complimentary food and beverage.
Now that the holiday overspending is behind us and the after-Christmas sales have faded from view, San Diego County's restaurants are ready to inject a little economic stimulus of their own with a full week of discounted dining.
The twice-a-year tradition that is Restaurant Week will begin anew this Sunday, as nearly 200 dining spots debut special fixed-price menus for as little as $10 for lunch and as much as $40 for dinner.
The prix-fixe dining will go through Jan. 18, although many restaurants typically extend the menus for an additional week. A second Restaurant Week is held in September.
From tuna tartare and tomato soup with grilled cheese to smoked Maine lobster and red wine-braised short ribs, restaurants are crafting special menus they hope will entice lunch and dinner guests to dine out at their places more than once or twice a year.
In all, roughly 180 restaurants throughout the county, from high-end, special occasion dining spots, to smaller neighborhood eateries, are participating. Lunch prices range from $10 to $20 and dinners, $20 to $40.
"Some people come to a restaurant they'll never be able to eat at normally, while others who live in the neighborhood but haven't tried your restaurant will come out for Restaurant Week, and hopefully you can win them over and make them a regular guest," said Mike Morton Jr., who heads the San Diego chapter of the California Restaurant Association and is also president of the Brigantine Restaurant Group.
While many restaurants acknowledge that their traffic volumes will rise significantly during what is a slower week for the industry, profits may be much lower given lower dining checks and higher food costs as owners strive to showcase their culinary offerings.
"We have to educate our chefs that you don't have to hold your food costs to what you normally do," said Susie Baumann, co-owner of the Bali Hai and Tom Ham's Lighthouse. "You can't do a three-course menu off the menu for just $30."
Morton said his restaurants can expect about a 50 percent to 75 percent increase in diners in January, while revenues rise between 25 percent and 50 percent.
Jeff Rossman, owner of Terra American Bistro in the east College area, said he thinks Restaurant Week is an important marketing tool, but doesn't view it as a moneymaker for his business.
"Our check averages will increase, but not necessarily our profits, because we're giving away standard portions of high-quality food, like our 16-ounce pork porterhouse or lobster mac 'n' cheese, for that $30 or $40," said Rossman. "We get new people in, but our regulars stay away until Restaurant Week is over."
To participate, each restaurant must pay $1,000, which covers the January and September events, and for restaurateurs with multiple locations, the maximum fee is $3,000. That money goes toward advertising, maintaining the Restaurant Week website and paying a firm to organize the event, Morton explained.
Because there is some surplus money, the Restaurant Association is donating $5,000 each to San Diego/Imperial Counties Chapter of the American Red Cross and the Jacobs & Cushman San Diego Food Bank.

New Berlin — The New Berlin Landmarks Commission will hold hearings on four potential city landmarks at 6:30 p.m. Feb. 20.
One is Holy Apostles Parish and cemetery, 16000 W. National Ave. The church is believed to be the first Catholic church in the city.
A hearing also will be held on the New Berlin Center Cemetery at 180th Street and National Avenue, believed to be the oldest in the city. It is where the bones of the man credited with giving New Berlin its name are laid. The burial ground had its first recorded burial in 1841.
Another hearing is slated for the Sunnyside Cemetery at Racine Avenue and Interstate 43. It's the resting place of the pioneer Yankee pastor who could be called the Father of Prospect Hill, a pioneer crossroads community where the New Berlin Historical Park is located. The first recorded burial was in 1842, but an infant was laid to rest at Sunnyside the year before.
The fourth site is the William and Elizabeth Koeppen Home, 16230 W. National Ave.

Armitage is very odd in that it's quite similar in themes to GITS, but alot more blunt...
Also, since nobody else has said it; COWBOY BEBOP, furcrispiessake!...
Level E is a sort of Sci-Fi comedy, primarily about the head of the alien Earth Defense Forces being a universally hated troll.
Ahem. Big O.
20th Century Boys should be the first one you read (at the beginning you are not going to understand why is a sci-fi, but after a while you are going to get it).
Noise was a good one shot. It was really creepy...I couldn't read it at night.

Pluto, which is really more of a suspense thriller in a sci fi setting, it's Naoki Urasawa's take on old Astro Boy story, and while I'm at it, Astro Boy.
Also Space Adventure Cobra.
you know that's blame!'s prequel.......... right?Originally Posted by Blue_Dragon
if you want sci fi you shouldn't miss blame! it's a really creepy manga but a very intresting one, you'll just hear 10 or so dialogues in the whole series and the rest is just pure action...
and also if you can enjoy something non-action then Legend of the Galactic Heroes is a nice anime, it's pretty old but it's story and characters with it's starwars-like theme is enjoyable.

Cold aisle containment (CAC) is a cooling method that increases cooling efficiency and reduces energy costs in data centers.
This cooling method relies on the fact that most network equipment... more/see it nowand servers are designed to cool themselves by drawing air in through the front and exhausting it out the rear. To implement cold aisle containment, rows of cabinets or racks are arranged facing each other to form aisles, and cool air is routed between the rows. Equipment takes the cool air in at the front of the cabinet and exhausts it out the back into the room.
To keep cool air from mixing with warm air, row ends are closed off with an air-flow barrier. This barrier can range from makeshift arrangements of plastic strips to doors made expressly for this purpose.
Because cold aisle containment concentrates cool air at the front of equipment where it's most needed, it's an exceptionally effective cooling method. Cold aisle containment significantly reduces energy costs, lowering power bills as well as reducing data centers' carbon footprints.

|Rethinking the definition of "term pregnancy".
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 20567179 Owner: NLM Status: In-Process
|Term birth (37-41 weeks of gestation) has previously been considered a homogeneous group to which risks associated with preterm (less than 37 weeks of gestation) and postterm births (42 weeks of gestation and beyond) are compared. An examination of the history behind the definition of term birth reveals that it was determined somewhat arbitrarily. There is a growing body of evidence suggesting that significant differences exist in the outcomes of infants delivered within this 5-week interval. We focus attention on a subcategory of term births called "early term," from 37 0/7 to 38 6/7 weeks of gestation, because there are increasing data that these births have increased mortality and neonatal morbidity as compared with neonates born later at term. The designation "term" carries with it significant clinical implications with respect to the management of pregnancy complications as well as the timing of both elective and indicated delivery. Management of pregnancies should clearly be guided by data derived from gestational age-specific studies. We suggest adoption of this new subcategory of term births (early term births), and call on epidemiologists, clinicians, and researchers to collect data specific to the varying intervals of term birth to provide new insights and strategies for improving birth outcomes.

The Hub, just across Chestnut Expressway on Boonville Avenue, is a combo business commuter bicycle sales and service, plus high-end specialty coffee.
Some customers take advantage of the synergy. They may pedal their bicycles to The Hub, order a coffee and chat about urban cycling, single origin beans, or both.
Coffee is an intense experience at The Hub the discussion, the making, the sipping.
Co-owner Jason Strother presented several coffee drinks using different processes.
Espresso ($2.50) made from a single-origin roast from Colombia. It was immensely satisfying, with citrus notes above the thick texture. Strother said the citrus quality comes from the acids in the coffee, and the effect is known in the coffee world as brightness. He also pointed out that the espresso had a little sweetness, along with a caramel essence and a hint of allspice on the finish. If you ask about these matters, Strother will broaden your knowledge, in a friendly way.
Cappuccino ($3) with a heart fashioned on the surface. This process, which Strother referred to as the perfect marriage of coffee and milk, is made to be consumed immediately. It was relatively cool, with a silky, creamy texture, and no additional sweetening. The milk is heated to the point where fat turns to glucose, and this gentle sweetness is all thats needed, he said.
Siphon process ($10): The 20-ounce pot makes enough for three cups. This process, which is competitive in price per cup with other specialty coffee drinks, is a great way for a group to enjoy coffee at its best. The process is fascinating to watch, as it suggests a high school chemistry lab, with a tower of bulbous glass containers and a burner at the bottom. The delicate clarity of this coffee disguised its boldness. It was the most intense cup of coffee I have ever tasted.
The Hub offers coffee many in other forms, including latte ($3.25-$3.75), mocha ($3.50-$4) and pour-over artisan brew using a Hario v60 Dripper ($3.50). Pastries ($1.25-$2.50) and oatmeal ($2.50-$3) also are available.
The shop uses three world-class roasters that provide coffee from farms across the continents: Intelligentsia (Chicago), Madcap (Grand Rapids, Mich.) and Handsome (Los Angeles). The Hub usually carries two coffees from each roaster, and the coffees turn over roughly every two weeks. In this way, repeat customers can count on trying something new on a regular basis.
Co-owners Strother (coffee) and Isaac Neale (cycling) have learned each others specialty to assure continuity of services when only one of them is running the shop.
There are aspects of the coffee and the bicycles that take quite a bit of knowledge, and you have to be able to do both, Neale said. We cant just say sorry, we cant do that right now.
We represent the farmers and the roasters, Strother said. We are the face of the coffee. That drives us to make good products.

Senator the Hon Joseph Ludwig
Special Minister of State and Cabinet Secretary

Dear Ministers
Having now completed our task, it is my happy duty to provide you with the report you commissioned from the taskforce in June. It has been a busy period and we have achieved a lot.
We have consulted with people far and wide, within Australia and beyond, in search of their views and insights. We have also tried to bring them into our own thinking as it was developing by publicly discussing our evolving ideas and progress on our blog and in other forums.
There has been a growing sense of excitement that something genuinely fresh might emerge from our endeavours. One unusual feature of this inquiry has been your injunction to us to work with others to fund and develop seed projects that demonstrate the potential of the changes we would advocate.
If there was any doubt that this was 'business as usual' it would surely have been dispelled for those who attended the GovHack weekend in Canberra. Now common outside government, this was the first government run such event in the world. Over 100 people came from around the country and worked through the weekend — many not stopping for sleep — to build online tools to show what Government 2.0 could be like. The members of the winning team got on so well that each had imagined that all the other members of their team were good friends. Only just before receiving their prize they discovered that they had all been strangers at the outset of the weekend!
The results of our MashupAustralia competition of which GovHack was a small part have been a revelation. Indeed, several public agencies have lamented to me privately that they had only recently redeveloped their own websites largely unaware of the power of drawing in the ideas and enthusiasm of the community as we had done.
In addition to the pride we had in the success of these events, we are proud of this report. The draft released just over two weeks ago garnered uncommon praise from some people from around the world for whom we have the greatest respect. We have been mindful to craft the recommendations with the transition they must make into government policy. John Sheridan in the Australian Government Information Management Office (AGIMO) was particularly helpful in that respect.
And we hope we have produced a report of ideas. Our subject matter — government and the use of Web 2.0 tools and approaches — is moving with dizzying speed. As a consequence, our challenge has been to avoid the gimmickry of the latest fad in favour of outlining how the new approaches might reinvigorate the time-honoured and hard-won traditions of modern democratic government.
Thanks to Peter Alexander and his team from the secretariat. Following what I fear might have been their initial shock at the speed and magnitude of our task they responded with dedication and good grace. I am sincerely grateful also to Michael Griffith from Minister Tanner's office for his solicitude for the cause of Government 2.0.
For a group of people who produced a report on how to harness the wisdom of the crowd, it was perhaps appropriate that we were something of a crowd ourselves. Fifteen in all. Some would have predicted such a group to be unwieldy. But it has not been so. It was a wonderfully productive and diverse mix of experience and expertise, talents and temperaments, a mix which in my opinion has been not only capable of good ideas but also of good judgement.
It was a privilege and a pleasure to work with these people and I'm sure I speak for them all when I thank you sincerely for your faith in us.
Nicholas Gruen
Government 2.0 Taskforce
22 December 2009
What's in a name?
'Engage' distills in one word the key theme of Government 2.0:
- Public agencies and public servants should engage more using the tools and capabilities of 'collaborative web' or Web 2.0. Forming or joining existing online communities of interest around issues of relevance to government policy, service delivery and regulation will help public agencies and their officers become more informed, responsive, innovative and citizen-centric.
- Once public sector information is liberated as a key national asset, possibilities — foreseeable and otherwise — are unlocked through the invention, creativity and hard work of citizens, business and community organisations. Open public sector information is thus an invitation to the public to engage, innovate and create new public value.
- To seize the opportunities of Government 2.0, the existing public service culture of hierarchical control and direction must change sufficiently to encourage and reward engagement. Yet it must at the same time, stay true to enduring public service values of impartiality, propriety and professionalism.
Thus getting to Government 2.0 requires leaders to engage with what is for many, an unfamiliar and challenging agenda. Are we up to it? Ultimately, the invitation to engage is an invitation to get involved and get things done so that Australia can reap the rewards.

New Zoysia Browning in Places
Hey guys - just found this forum and hoping y'all can help me. Just had Zoysia laid in our backyard a few weeks ago. Brought in some top soil and tilled. From my perspective (uneducated) soil prep was fine. It is doing really well in spots and it is browning in other spots. This is in the backyard and we have a lot of shade - however, certain areas that don't get much sun are doing fine so I'm inclined to think it's not a sun issue. We've had an inordinate amount of rain for several weeks now and I'm thinking drainage is not as good in areas where it's browning. That said, we don't have and have never had standing water. Any ideas on what I can do about this? I'm having the guys who laid it come look at it but wanted to get some input here. Is this fungus? Can it be saved?
Photos attached. Many thanks!
Found this for you
A: Zoysiagrass needs 3 full hours of sunlight per day. It will not grow well directly under any tree that provides more shade than that. Trimming the lower branches may allow enough sun to get in. Some trees require (and create) acidic soil. No grass will do well under such a tree. We suggest some other type of landscaping in these areas.

Realizing that there is no article or tutorial on the subject on the Internet, I decided to write this post if you ever were to analyze a malware with similar characteristics that I'm about to describe. Hopefully this information will be useful to you as it was to me without the effort to spend some time searching on the Internet on how to perform a static analysis on malware packed with Py2Exe.
A couple of weeks ago, I came across a malware called Nueva_Carpetaa.exe (this translate to New Folder.exe) that had infected a server and several other computers in the network. Nothing really interesting about this malware except that it was packed with Py2Exe which means that it was originally coded in Python then converted to executable so that it could run on a Windows machine without the need of a Python interpreter. So I thought to myself; is there a way or actually, is it even possible to obtain the original source code of this malware? After hours of searching on Google and doing some research, I was able to extract the majority of the source code. In this blog post, I will outline the steps I have taken and demonstrate the free tools I used to accomplish this.
For a quick behavior analysis of the malware, I submitted a sample to ThreatExpert. A report was generated and I quickly went over the details to see what this malware does once it infects a Windows host. In the Submission details section of the report, a Kaspersky Lab signature detected that this malware was packed with Py2Exe.
This caught my attention and I investigated further. To see if Nueva_Carpetaa.exe was really packed with Py2Exe, I copied the malware sample to my SIFT Forensic Workstation and I used the
strings command line tool to list all readable strings from the executable. Immediately, it was evident that this malware was programmed in Python.
As you can see in the picture above, the string PYTHON25.DLL indicates that the malware was written using Python 2.5 and that this Python interpreter library was bundled into the executable. And if we do a strings and grep it with the word py2exe, we get the following strings.
This confirms that Nueva_Carpetaa.exe was indeed packed with Py2Exe. Another way to know if this malware was packed is to unpack the executable using a file decompressor tool such as
unzip, we were able to extract files bundled with the executable. Examining the files extracted, we can clearly see that the majority of the files are Python bytecode because of the .pyo file extension. PYO files are Python compiled optimized codes which are generated when the Python interpreter is invoked with the
-o flag. The purpose for compiling Python files is to speed up the start-up time for short programs that use a lot of standard modules. When
-o is used, all bytecode is optimized and the
assert statements is removed.
As seen above, besides the malware executable itself, we only see standard Python modules. So far, no malicious Python compiled codes were extracted, that's not to say that these modules are malicious, but based on the modules name and for the brevity of this article, we'll assume that they are safe.
So far so good, but we still need to find the malicious code. While researching, I found this interesting post , and in it, the source code for a Python tool conveniently called exe2py. Judging by the name, we could assume that this tool takes an executable and converts it to Python, however, it's not that straightforward as it sounds. What this tool actually do is extract additional files that are embedded in the executable itself which were not in the zip file. This will be much clearer once I run this tool as so.
Running the exe2py tool on the malware resulted in the extraction of two additional .pyo files.
The two new files are boot_common.pyo and test.pyo; boot_common.pyo is a boot script that Py2Exe uses. The interesting file here is test.pyo. By the looks of the given name, it does not sound like a standard module, therefore, could very be the main code we are looking for.
Since test.pyo is compiled, meaning that this is a machine language code, we'll need another Python tool to decompile the file and obtain the original source code. Back in 2010, security researcher Rich Smith presented a talk entitled "In Memory Reverse Engineering for Obfuscated Python Bytecode". Mr. Smith explained how nowadays authors want to protect their Python applications source code from competitors by using a number of tools and techniques. Mr. Smith developed a proof-of-concept Python tool called pyREtic for the purpose of decompiling obfuscated executable from memory. The tool was created for the need to reverse engineer and obtain the source code for analysis of possible vulnerabilities, bugs and license infringements. This tool is also a great way to analyze malicious executable that were coded in Python as you will see in the following.
In order to use pyRetic on Nueva_Carpetaa.exe, we'll need to install Python 2.5 to our malware lab system since the tool needs the same libraries that the malware author used to code the malware. Additionally, the PyWin32 module is required in order to successfully run pyRetic against this malware. After installing Python and the required module, navigate to pyRetic directory and run REpdb.py.
Immediately you'll be entered in the program's shell interface. Next, create a new project by issuing the
set_project command and then the name of the project. For this project, I called it
Upon hitting the enter key, REpdb will ask you to choose the given Python runtime version.
In my case I chose version 2.5.4 since that is the Python version I've installed on my malware lab system. REpdb will then attempt to connect to the Internet and download the Runtime version that was chosen; decompress it and save it to pyREtic Downloaded_Runtimes folder. The new project will then be created in pyREtic Project folder and all source code output will now be saved in the new project's sourcecode folder.
To decompile the test.pyo file, used the first available command
fs_um_decompile from pyREtic HOWTO.txt and then the name of the file you want to decompile.
Upon hitting enter, you will noticed that pyREtic appeared to decompiled most of the test.pyo file except 13 code blocks. An "INCOMPLETE DISASSEMBLY" error message was given to me. However, most of the source code was saved in my new project folder. Remember that pyREtic is in its infancy and there will most likely be bugs, but for the most part it works.
Navigating to where the source code was written, you will see that test.py file was created. The .py file extension indicates that this is a Python source code which is readable and ready for examination.
Opening the Python file, you can clearly see the source code. This confirms that pyREtic worked. Obviously, the next step will be to analyze and interpret each line of code.
After analyzing the full source code for this particular malware, I concluded that Nueva_Carpetaa.exe is more of nuisance than a threat. The code simplicity and lack of real malicous intent may suggest that this malware is a prototype for testing a new malware coded in Python. The following is a brief assessment of the malware if you're intrested:
Nueva_Carpetaa.exe is more of a nuisance than than a threat. Its propagation method is to infect computer with a copy of itself in the root of c:\ drive and in other volume drives that it finds available within the host. The autorun.inf files are created and copied to all available drives except the c:\ and d:\ drive. This will execute the malware automatically if the autorun is set on the computer. In addition, the malware installs itself in Windows System32 folder and is given a new generated program name by randomly choosing a name based on a list of predefine prefixes which then it will append a random character from b to y. After installing itself, the malware becomes hidden by setting the appropriate file attributes. For the malware to remain persistent; it adds itself to the Windows Registry so anytime that the computer is rebooted, the malware is automatically executed. Furthermore, to make removal difficult, the malware modifies a couple of Registry values to disable Task Manger (Taskmgr.exe) and the Windows registry editors (Regedt32.exe and Regedit.exe). And finally the Internet Explorer Home Page is set to hxxp://www.wrops.com/?, which redirects the user to hxxp://www.bubusca.com. At the time of the investigation, this website did not contain any suspicious or malicious code. However, this website has a history of hosting malware and containing illegal content.
As far as the origin of this malware is concern, Spanish contents were found in the source code and the domain owner of bubusca.com is based in Peru, there's a possibility that the author of the malware is from that country.
Well, that's it. If you have any questions or comments please post them below. I hope you enjoy this article and find it helpful in reversing malware packed with Py2Exe.

Treating and Preventing Impotence Naturally
Impotence may be used to describe several problems that interfere with sexual performance such as lack of libido, as well as erectile dysfunction, which is the repeated inability to achieve an erection firm enough for sexual intercourse.
Erectile Dysfunction affects 50% of men ages 40-70 in the US and is considered an important public health problem by the National Institute of Health.
There are a myriad of natural products that promise miraculous and safe results, but many have no clinical trials to back any claims of restoring sexual vitality. The natural remedies listed below have some degree of evidence to support effectiveness in treating impotence.
Natural Remedies for Impotence
1. Side effects reported using yohimbine include: nervousness, irritability, insomnia, headache, skin flushing, anorexia, nausea, gastric distress, diarrhea, vomiting, palpitations, tachycardia, dysuria, pain, increased blood pressure, dizziness, sweating, weight gain, constipation, and anxiety. Always consult your doctor when using yohimbine-containing products.

Go for a walk to find a big ideaComment on this story
London - Coming up with ideas could be as easy as a walk in the park.
We think more creatively when taking a stroll than when sitting, according to a study. Surprisingly, it is not being outside that matters, it is the exercise itself.
Researcher Marily Oppezzo said: 'Many people anecdotally claim they do their best thinking when walking. With this study, we may finally be taking a step forward to discovering why.'
Dr Oppezzo, of Santa Clara University in California, did a series of experiments in which people undertook tests of creativity, such as playing word association games, while walking or while sitting at a desk.
In one experiment, the volunteers came up with twice as many clever ideas when walking.
The study, published in the Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory and Cognition, also revealed that walking is more important than being outdoors. Volunteers who walked, indoors or outdoors, came up with more ideas than those who sat inside – or were pushed in a wheelchair outside.
Dr Oppezzo said: 'While being outdoors has many cognitive benefits, walking appears to have a very specific benefit of improving creativity.'
The benefits lasted even after sitting down, meaning big decisions needn't necessarily be made on the hoof.
Dr Oppezzo added: 'Walking before a meeting that requires innovation may be nearly as useful as walking during the meeting.' - Daily Mail

While Konami's various Karaoke Revolution games don't exactly strike gold (maybe silver from time to time), they have consistently been at least satisfying. The same cannot quite be said about Karaoke Revolution GLEE: Season 3 as the third time definitely was not the charm for this franchise spin-off.
As is core to any karaoke game, a great track list is key. KRGS3 takes thirty-five songs from the third season of the popular FOX television show and lets Gleeks nationwide be a part of Mr. Schuester's flock. Players will find themselves belting out well-known modern hits like Justin Bieber's 'Somebody To Love', classics like Elton John's 'Don't Go Breaking My Heart', and even the cult Broadway hit 'Time Warp'. Unfortunately, the game also has a number of songs (ie: Michael Bublé's 'Sway') that only the most dedicated of GLEE fans might recognize from the show. Of course, being a Wii title, the possibility of DLC to expand upon the game's on-disk library is almost an impossibility.
The technology that KRGS3 utilizes to score its vocal performers is through pitch recognition and, for the most part, it works just fine. There were a number of times when the game simply loses the singer's voice, causing the pitch indicator to go all over the place -- even on sustained notes. This disrupts any sort of streak the player has achieved and adversely affects the performance's score. This has been a problem with past Karaoke Revolution titles and it's quite disappointing that Konami hasn't improved upon it.
KRGS3 also seems to suffer from a lack of innovation. Nothing really stands out as "new and improved" with this third edition of the GLEE KR titles. The GLEE moniker alone will probably help this game sell like hotcakes as far as these type of games go, but if Konami wants to continue good sales numbers, they should look into what they can improve and expand upon in its tired Karaoke Revolution franchise.
Final Game Guys grade: C
(Konami provided a copy of this game for review.)

The Overnight Posters Club
(1/2744) > >>
This is the motherfucking OPC! The triumviri that run this *&^% are J (president), Chica (vice-president) and me (doorman and southern gentleman). Any and all rules and regulations do not apply to us.
Rule #1- To gain admission, you must do one thing and not do one thing. The thing you must do is post on LSD between 4-7 AM your time. The thing you must not do is suck (I dub this "the blue warrior clause")
Rule #2- Posting time for this thread is 11 PM to 9 AM EST (mods can post any time ;))
Regulation #1- We are elitists. Because of this, we require a certain quality in posts in the OPC. The OPC is for actual discussion with personal stories mixed in. Posters must try to make what they are writing more interesting than the plot of Baywatch Nights. Straying from this will lead to ridicule from other members.
Regulation #2- Whilst we are elitists, we are in a progressive way (see our minority president). Pontificating bull about LSAT scores, "TTT" schools, etc. will not be tolerated. Take it somewhere else.
Regulation #3- The use of "pwn3d" and the like over and over is hereby banned. What constitutes "over and over" is up to the discretion of the OPC triumviri.
Members include- Stan (the original president of the OPC), Tra (gone, but not forgotten), Court, AH, Chica, Lily, Veg, KT, Shelrae, Britt, Suzie, Su, Red, Scott, Saxby, Groundhog, TOE, Duck, Bruin, Thou, A. Lee, Mr. Mad Props, daveman, da rev, magnus, hollycisco, Pancho, Maggs, zbttoken, dbgirl, halfie, jorge, em., HD, Southside, lizpendens, ginny, bender, Leo, etc. (more will be added later, as I remember/people tell me)
The OPC anthem:
--- Quote from: Duck on July 09, 2006, 07:42:15 AM ---Oh Stan (you don't have to put on the red. light)
Sung to Roxanne by The Police
Oh Stan, you don't have to put on the red. light
Those days are over
You don't have to lurk all day and night
Oh Stan, you don't have to PM red. tonight
Shamelessly flirting
You don't care if it's wrong or if it's right
Oh Stan, you don't have to put on the red. light
Oh Stan, you don't have to put on the red. light
Put on the red. light, put on the red. light
Put on the red. light, put on the red. light
Put on the red. light, oh
We loved you since we knew ya
We wouldn't talk down to ya
We have to tell you just how we feel
We won't have you PMing red. anymore
We know our minds are made up
So put away your laptop
Told you once we won't tell you again, it's a bad way
Oh Stan, you don't have to put on the red. light
Oh Stan, you don't have to put on the red. light
You don't have to put on the red. light
Put on the red. light, put on the red. light

all members should memorize.
Original post-
So heard about this and I know I gotta be in it. I'm not on enough to have a big role, I guess maybe the doorman. Stanley is definitely the President and Marauding is the VP. Chica is the Social Chairwoman (and sex revolutionary). This is for all the people who post when there is nobody to respond. >:( >:( >:(
I am so in.
I want to be in!
--- Quote from: S. James Watson on December 16, 2005, 04:49:48 AM ---i humbly accept the appointment.
also, court is the constitutional monarch.
and you're definitely on enough to justify at least the Treasury. ;)
--- End quote ---
Everyone has to give themself a title (or accept someone elses). I had that job when I was in a frat in UG, not so much fun :( (I did get to decide how much beer we bought) I would rather kick asses (metaphorically). :)

I have come a long way in my coffee making skills. I didn't start drinking coffee until 10 years ago, but for years before that, I was often in charge of making the coffee in the huge percolators at church. I would open a can of whatever had been donated, pour in a bunch of grounds with no particular measurement in mind, and then let the coffee pot do its work. I can imagine I made some pretty awful coffee back then.
I consider myself a home coffee making pro now. I've tried dozens of brands and have found my favorites. I buy beans and grind them for each pot. I know how much I need to grind for the automatic coffee maker and how much I need to grind for the French press. I make good coffee. But even I, as I sat here sipping my Weaver's Organic Blend coffee, learned a thing or two from this infographic, although I don't see myself ever using the coffee art skills it teaches.
Courtesy of: financesonline.com
Courtesy of http://financesonline.com
It never occurred to me that I would be able to brew coffee directly into a mug by placing a paper filter with grounds over it and pouring in hot water. I will have to remember that if I ever experience a coffee pot breakdown.
I also found the information on how the rest of the world drinks their coffee interesting. My mom drinks her coffee like the Swiss do. Who knew?
What useful information did you get from the infographic?

Is your child seat poisonous?Comment on this story
More than half the children's car seats sold in the United States contain hazardous chemicals.
Sixty percent of 150 car seats tested by the Michigan-based Ecology Centre were found to contain chemicals such as bromine and chlorine, which points to the presence of polyvinyl chlorate (PVC).
Studies have shown flame retardants containing bromine can permanently affect children's brains, while PVC has been classified by the US Environmental Protection Administration as a known human carcinogen.
When PVC is burned or dumped in landfills, dioxins - highly toxic chemicals that build up in the food chain and can cause cancer, as well as harm the immune and reproductive systems - are released into the air and water.
The Ecology Centre report said: "Heat and UV exposure in cars can accelerate the breakdown of these chemicals and possibly increase their toxicity.
"Babies are the most vulnerable because their immune systems are still developing and they spend many hours in their car seats."
Researchers compiled a list of the best and worst car seats in terms of the chemicals found in them, and posted it on the HealthyStuff.org website.
Team leader Jeff Gearhart said levels of bromine varied between different models of the same make, with the source usually being a flame retardant used in the upholstery or cushioning.
The least toxic infant seats were Italian brand Chicco's KeyFit 30 in the Limonata color scheme, Graco Snugride 35 in Laguna Bay and Combi Shuttle 33 in Cranberry Noche.
Two Graco infant seats with different upholstery - the Snugride 35 in red and black and Snugride 30 in Asprey - were meanwhile among the most toxic.
The Ecology Centre has conducted more than 20 000 tests for toxic chemicals on about 7000 consumer products since 1997, using an x-ray fluorescence machine the identifies their chemical constituents in less than 60 seconds. - AFP

Southwestern Regional Police say help from the public led to the quick arrest of three woman who allegedly were involved in an armed robbery at a North Codorus Township restaurant and bar on Monday.
Officers arrested Barbara Nicole Mummert, 26, no fixed address; Mary Elizabeth Knight, 46, of Hampstead, Md.; and Knight's 22-year-old daughter, Shantal Mae Knight also of Hampstead, Md., on Tuesday, police said in a news release.
Police say they were tipped off to the trio soon after they released suspect photographs and were contacted by a citizen.
According to police, Mummert and Shantal Knight entered Goofy's Eatery & Spirits, 5965 York Road, about 7:45 p.m. Monday. As Mummert acted as a customer, Shantal Knight handed a clerk a noted that demanded cash and threatened the clerk with a weapon, police said.
With money in hand, Shantal Knight fled the business but Mummert stuck around and gave responding officers false information about the robber and tampered with evidence in an attempt to thwart the investigation, police said.
She too fled and met up with Shantal Knight in a car driven by Mary Knight; then all three fled to Maryland, police said.
Mummert is charged with theft, receiving stolen property, tampering with evidence and conspiracy to commit robbery. Mary Knight and Shantal Knight are each charged with theft, receiving stolen property and conspiracy to commit robbery, police said.
All three were taken to the county's central booking unit in York City.

I've used google alerts in the past, and thought it was pretty cool.
You can have google tell you whenever it find a phrase someplace new, like "trade show marketing" mentioned in a new blog post somewhere.
You can also have it tell you when it finds a new link to your website, or someone else's website.
But it seems like lately it's not sending out very many alerts, even though I know new alerts should be generated. It's almost like it's being throttled or broken. Does anyone else notice this, or are you guys even aware of google alerts?

Ligonier's new coach looks forward to winning season
TribLIVE Sports Videos
The Ligonier Valley High School boys basketball team begins the 2013-14 season on Dec. 6 and 7 at the Pine Grill Roundball Tournament in Somerset. The Rams will open 7 p.m. Dec. 10 at home taking on Homer Center. Head Coach Todd Hepner said that Homer Center would be one of the toughest opponents of the season.
Last year Ligonier fell twice to Homer Center, which brought the team's conference record to 11-5. The Rams also made it to the semifinal round of the District 6 playoffs, falling to second-seeded Penn Cambria. This year Hepner plans to continue to be competitive in the conference with the hopes of raising a title banner and returning to the playoffs.
"It's a great conference for basketball," Hepner said. "I don't think there is truly a weak team in the Heritage Conference. I think in the Heritage, any given night anybody can beat anybody so you need to be ready to play basketball."
This season Hepner has 25 players on the team. The seniors include Alex Tutino, Jake Nemeth, Scott Fennell and Alec Bloom. Juniors are Justin Hugo, Jordan Jones, Ryan Fitzgibbon, Calin Gropp, Luke Smetak, Nate Mattis and Billy Turley. The sophomore group includes Austin Williams, Kyle Lundquist, J.D. Wallace, Tyler Turcheck, David King, Al Viglioti, Tanner Solich, Jack Schott, Brian Custer and Bominic Jester. The freshmen are Collin Smith, Trent Hepner, Josh Boyd and Trent Stewart.
Last season the Rams played the majority of the time on the perimeter of the court, shooting for 3-point shots. However, Hepner plans to use the team's speed, moving the ball quickly to keep opponents off balance as well as play to the team's strength.
"Offensively I like to run motion-type plays where we get all the guys moving," Hepner explained. "There is not going to be a lot of standing around at the 3-point line looking for shots out there. I like to keep things moving and keep the ball moving and take our chances that way. I think definitely speed is one of the factors that is going to play to our advantage. With our speed I feel we can get out on the transition game and make some things happen that way."
Though it is Hepner's first year as Ligonier's head coach, he has 16 years of coaching experience, including five years as the varsity coach at Laurel Valley before the two schools merged in 2010. Hepner was a volunteer coach for the junior high school team in Ligonier last year and is excited about stepping back into coaching at the varsity level.
"It's nice to be back into coaching and I'm looking forward to the opportunity that I have to coach young individuals. I think it's important to spend some time with them and get to know them. Even though it's a different school, it's our sister school to where I came from, so it is still kind of the same school. I'm glad to be part of the Ligonier program and I'm going to do my best to ensure quality in the program," Hepner said.
