Seaborn Elementary School first graders in the classrooms of teachers Lori Reigle, Mary Hlasta, Carol Corklic and teacher's aide Brandi Suarez spent the winter corresponding with a very special pen pal.
U.S. Army Chief Warrant Officer 2 Daniel J. Rhodes was not only a former Seaborn student in the classroom of Mary Hlasta, he also was pilot of a AH-64D Apache Helicopter who flew combat missions in Afghanis-tan in support of Operation Enduring Freedom.
Rhodes, who has visited the school on several occasions, sent a flag for each of the first-grade classes. Rhodes also sent a flag to the school's principal, Cindy Mulgrew, as a gift to all students at Seaborn Elementary.

First-grade classes at Seaborn Elementary School received a U.S. flag that was carried on a combat mission on an AH-64D Apache helicopter. The helicopter also carried a missile that was labeled, Seaborn Elementary. The flag was presented to the class by Chief Warrant Officer 2 Daniel J. Rhodes, a former Seaborn student and Apache helicopter pilot. First-graders from Mary Hlasta's class pictured front row, from left, are Elias Clarke, Gavin Fox, Cheyenne Arnio, Morgan Haynie, Nicole Kettering, Reychel Lapierre and Tanner Boyer. Back row, from left, are Kaleb Suarez, Treyton Stefan, Mason Rodgers, Brendon Witt, Giovan Gilbert, Marco D'Angelo, Nathaniel Colburn, Harley Martin and Andrew Palguta.
''They all flew with me personally on my last mission in my Apache helicopter,'' Rhodes wrote in a letter to the students.
Rhodes also told the students in his letter that along with the flags, the helicopter also contained a missile that is named the Seaborn Elementary Missile.
''We didn't shoot the missile, though,'' Rhodes wrote.
Rhodes, who is currently serving a 12-month deployment in Afghanistan, began corresponding with the students before Christmas, Hlasta said. In addition to being a former student, Rhodes sister, Brandi Suarez, is a teacher's aide at the school. Suarez' son and Rhode's nephew, Kaleb Suarez, is a third grade student at Seaborn.
In addition to sending letters, the students also sent several packages for Rhodes to share with his fellow soldiers. The packages contained Christmas cards, Valentine cards and several treats and snack cakes.
''We wanted to let them know we are thinking of them,'' Hlasta said.
In return, the soldiers made the first-graders honorary members of the Blue Wolves Brigade, 1st Battalion, Charlie Company. With each flag, Rhodes also enclosed a certificate for each first grade teacher and a Blue Wolf combat action patch.
''You are all now honorary Bluewolves!,'' Rhodes wrote. ''Howwwlllll!!!''

CIRRHOSIS chronic disease caused by serious parenchymal damage to the liver, usually of long-continued or repetitive type, in which malnutrition is usually regarded as an important accompanying and predisposing etiological factor. Because of its vital and widely diversified metabolic functions, the liver is commonly exposed to a variety of damaging agents in the form of toxic chemicals, infections, circulatory disturbances, and systemic metabolic abnormalities, but the nutritional state of the organism is believed to act as a basic underlying factor which is capable of conditioning susceptibility or resistance to cellular injury. The specificity of essential nutrients in the defense against liver damage is poorly defined except for the high protective function of protein of excellent biological value and, possibly, for the "methyl donor compounds" choline and methionine, both of which are present in normally adequate amounts in a well-balanced protein ration.
Many classifications of hepatic cirrhosis have been proposed in

CBNNews.com - JERUSALEM, Israel - Israel's chief rabbis, Yona Metzger and Shlomo Amar, called for cancellation of the International Bible Quiz because a Messianic Jewish believer made the finals.
"Choosing her as a finalist in the International Bible Quiz for Jewish Youth is a transgression of halacha [Jewish religious law] and is a distortion of the goal and essence of the quiz," the rabbis stated in a letter to Education Minister Yuli Tamir.
"The Chief Rabbinate of Israel vigorously protests [the participation] of this representative," the rabbis wrote.
"Bible quiz participants have always been Jews who believed in the Torah handed down by Moses. The Chief Rabbinate calls to disqualify this girl from taking part in the quiz. If she is not disqualified, we call to cancel the quiz immediately," they stated.
"It is unacceptable that a member of a cult that has removed itself from the Jewish faith will take part in a quiz dedicated to a book that has been holy to the Jews since their inception as a people," the chief rabbis wrote.
Speaking on behalf of Tamir, Lital Apter said the education minister would neither cancel the quiz nor ask 16-year-old Bat-El Levi to withdraw.
The outcry against Levi came after Yad L'Achim, the anti-missionary group, informed the religious hierarchy that the teenager and her family attend a Messianic Jewish congregation in Beersheba.
The bone of contention is that Messianic Jews don't feel that believing in Jesus makes them non-Jewish, while the rabbinic authorities claim they have left the boundaries of Judaism.
Rabbi Shlomo Aviner, a respected authority on halacha who led the call to cancel the quiz, was joined by numbers of other rabbis.
While religious groups are pressuring the other three finalists to boycott the event, scheduled to take place Thursday on Yom Ha'atzma'ut (Independence Day), 15-year-old Tzurit Berenson from northern coastal town of Nahariya, speaking on behalf of the other contestants, said "we have all decided to go ahead with it."
"We asked our own rabbis what to do and they told us that we should participate," Berenson said.

You've seen Second Life, right? That was the virtual world that got a lot of hype about two years ago. It was very cool, but it had some significant limitations. First it required a download so wasn't easily embeddable into a web site. Second it couldn't deal with the large numbers of people that brands would need to see decent ROI. Third, it was hard to use and hard to figure out where you were and what to do. SmallWorlds changes all that. It presents a customizeable world to you. You have your own avatar. But it's easy to get into (everything is a URL) and it's easy to move around in (it's not quite full 3D, so isn't as confusing as Second Life) but it lets you build your own world.

MADISON - As winter finally gives way to warmer temperatures in Wisconsin, sunny May skies signal that Clean Air Month has arrived.
"It All Adds Up To Cleaner Air" is the theme for the annual spring event in Wisconsin. A new Clean Air Month page on the Department of Natural Resources website lists tips for reducing air emissions, a place for the public to sign up for air quality notices and a poetry contest hosted by the department for third, fourth and fifth graders.
"With May as Clean Air Month and 2013 The Year of Well Being throughout our state, there's no better time to learn about how important clean air is to our health and quality of life," said DNR Secretary Cathy Stepp. "At your DNR, we'll continue to work hard so Wisconsin citizens can enjoy some of the cleanest air in the nation.'
Stepp noted that the agency's recent Wisconsin Air Quality Trends Report 2013 [PDF] revealed a positive trend toward cleaner air since 2002. Overall, trends show improved air quality since the 1980s.
Other successes from the past year include:
"Clean Air Month is a great time to celebrate our state's achievements in air quality. We are breathing healthier air and continuing to see positive air quality trends," said Bart Sponseller DNR air management program director.
The "Air Air Everywhere" poetry contest runs until May 17. Winners will have their poems featured on the DNR's Environmental Education for Kids - EEK! website. People can also check out the DNR's "Do a Little, Save A Lot" videos on the DNR YouTube channel to learn about more ways to help improve Wisconsin's air quality.

All way waiting for doctor, he never is on time. I feel he takes advantage of workmen comp cases. Milks the insurances and keeps patients coming back way to long.
We showed up 15 minutes early for our appointment but the doctor didn't see us until over an hour after our appointment time. When I call him on it he didn't apologize, he said "If I'm only an hour late I'm doing good." Furthermore, my wife was pregnant and he delayed our immigration process by requiring a polio vaccine. You can't take that while you're pregnant. She has already had the polio vaccine and he could have signed a waiver. So we went back months later after we had the baby and he says on this other vaccine is expired and you need a booster. She got that one only 6 months ago. If you're going through the immigration process go to someone else. This is by far the worst doctor patient experience I have ever experienced and when my wife left she was in tears.
After more than an hour waiting, the doctor finally appeared, but he was not interested in my health at all. He treated me as if I was a nuisance. Unfortunately I had met before bad, arrogant and unhelpful physicians in United States, but the doctor in that office is the winner.

Justin Timberlake may not have been home to celebrate Independence Day, but he still brought some American spirit to his July 4 concert in London.
The "SexyBack" singer, 26, took a break from busting a move with his 1920's-styled dancers to join his band and raise a champagne glass to his country.
"Because it's American Independence Day, I propose a toast," he said to the cheering 18,000-strong crowd. "This one goes out to our troops fighting for our freedom."
But one thing made his stay across the pond a little less than perfect. "Man, someone is going to have to make a call about this weather," he joked about London's recent bout of torrential rain.
Nevertheless, he was thrilled to kick off his five-show series in the city. "When I was a little boy, I never thought that I'd ever play one show in London, let alone five!" he told the crowd at the close of the show. "You've made a country boy's dream come true."

EAST LIVERPOOL -A fire that caused moderate damage to a home in the 300 block of Thompson Avenue Friday was a strange one, according to one veteran firefighter.
The three-story home is owned and occupied by Louis and Michelle Volino, who had been working in an upstairs bedroom, remodeling it as a nursery for their grandchild, according to assistant Chief Jeff Kreefer.
A worker had been using a hand grinder to cut nails off while installing dry wall and it generated so much heat, that the nail actually acted like a conductor, igniting the old wood into which it was embedded, Kreefer said.
"Old wood has a lower ignition temperature," he explained. "It was one of the weirdest things I've seen in my life. The nail was like a branding iron."
Since the nails were concealed in the wall, it wasn't immediately apparent that they were hot until about an hour had lapsed and the worker began smelling a smoke odor and saw that paint on the closet wall was bubbling up.
He ran down and told the Volinos to notify the fire department, which responded at 10:34 a.m. with the four firefighters on duty and Chief Bill Jones. Second and third alarms were called within minutes, bringing four more men and the aerial truck.
For rookie firefighter Jason Glista, this was his first fire, according to Kreefer, who said he had been touring the city with fireman Dave Edgell, familiarizing himself with the area which cut down on response time.
"Ten more minutes and we'd have lost the top of the house. Fortunately, they hadn't left the house unattended," Kreefer said.
Smoke was coming from the attic when firefighters arrived on the scene, and the fire had extended into the unfinished attic, but Kreefer said, "The guys did an outstanding job. They kept the roof on that house. It didn't even have a hole in the roof."
He said firemen dragged hose up three stories to reach the blaze while others used salvage cloths to cover furnishings on the first floor, which he said resulted in minimal damage to the family's belongings.
Fire was contained to the closet wall, attic framing, roof rafters and sheeting, causing moderate damage. The second floor of the historic home sustained moderate water damage, with minor water damage to the first floor.
The home and contents are insured.

[QUOTE=mightstone2k;1245233]I have the weighted vest. So strictly progressive overload is what works, not building to harder variations of bodyweight exercises, like one-arm pushups and chinups?[/QUOTE]
Yes, moving to harder variations is a method of progressive overload. What I meant with my post is that there are more limitations to bodyweight training than there are to weight training, where it's simple, just add weight to the bar/do more reps.
If a gym is out of your budget, you can absolutely make solid progress with bodyweight training. Just understand that your results will be limited compared to heavy barbell and dumbbell training.

Something New in the Neighborhood
Just wanted to let you know that I have been kindly invited into Liberty & Power as part of the regular bloggers here. Many of you have probably seen my various entries here and perhaps even ventured onto my CLASSical liberal website (http://classicalliberalism.blogspot.com/).
I have specialized in libertarian/classical liberal history for some years now, and hopefully, my input will be of interest to all of you.
Some of you I have known personally for some time (Wendy, I won't tell if you don't!) and others I have only read your writings here and there.
David, and all of the others, thanks again for the invite!

The Trail Blazers trimmed their roster down to 17 on Friday by waiving rookie guard Jamaal Tatum.
The 6-foot-2 Southern Illinois product, who entered training camp knowing he was a long shot to make the team, played sparingly in three exhibition games, averaging 0.7 points, 1.0 rebounds and 1.0 assists.
Tatum's dismissal leaves three players -- forward Shavlik Randolph, center Steven Hill and forward Luke Jackson -- vying for the 15th and final roster spot on the Blazers' regular season roster. Based on needs and exhibition production, the team has indicated that either HIll or Randolph is most likely to secure the roster spot.

SAN FRANCISCO - Tired of prolonged stalling by management, over 100 musicians of the San Francisco Symphony - one of the country's top symphony orchestras - are now in the second week of a strike. On March 21 they took their protest to the streets.
As a quintet from the orchestra's brass section livened spirits and attracted passers-by, other musicians marched holding signs: "Management is out of tune!" "Bonuses for management, cuts for musicians," "Bring the music back!"
"This is about fairness, and an organization that has lost sight of its mission," said negotiating committee member Cathy Payne, who plays flute and piccolo. Payne said the symphony's management is focusing on a building campaign while expecting the orchestra members to take wage freezes and cuts in benefits.
If the orchestra were in financial trouble, she said, the musicians would accept a shared sacrifice.
But SFS' endowment, approaching $300 million, is the second largest of any orchestra in the country. Musicians point out that management spent $11 million on a centennial celebration last year, and is now planning to spend as much as half a billion dollars to expand its home auditorium, Davies Symphony Hall.
They also note that the orchestra has given large bonuses to its top executives. In the ten years from 2001 through calendar year 2011, the executive director's pay increased by 79 percent, while top executives' salaries went up by amounts significantly greater than increases accorded the players.
As in virtually all recent contract negotiations, health care looms as a big issue. "We've said we'll look at ways to find savings, and we've offered to pay more," Payne said. "But management is asking us to agree to a large cut."
Pensions are also on the table, said fellow negotiating committee member Linda Lukas, also a flautist. She said management is insisting on a freeze, and seeks to raise the retirement age.
The musicians are also asking for detailed information on how the orchestra's resources are used, including the relation of the budget to the endowment, and how public funds are spent.
Cellist Margaret Tait, an orchestra member since 1974, pointed out that musicians, who earn a median salary of around $140,000 a year, put in at least as much unpaid time in preparation and in maintaining their musical and technical abilities as they do in paid rehearsal and performance time.
In addition, she said, orchestra members must buy and maintain their own instruments and equipment, with players of stringed instruments often investing $200,000 or more to purchase a suitable instrument. (Article continues after slideshow.)
Joining the protest were members of nearby American Federation of Musicians locals and members of other unions as well as concerned listeners, as passing vehicles honked their support. The San Francisco Labor Council helped spread the word about the picket.
Talks between the musicians, represented by the American Federation of Musicians Local 6, and management have gone on for some eight months. The musicians' contract expired Feb. 10 - the same day it was announced that the orchestra had won its 15th Grammy Award, this time for the best orchestral performance of 2012.
The strike that started March 13 forced cancellation of a long-awaited East Coast tour, with concerts slated for New York's Carnegie Hall and the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C.
The orchestra's musicians are asking supporters to contact Executive Director Brent Assink, firstname.lastname@example.com, and/or Board President Sako Fisher, firstname.lastname@example.com.

After making four knit dresses in a row I finally feel like tackling a woven project. I am also still in need of interesting clothes that I can cycle in. I've been gradually improving my cycle friendly wardrobe over the last year, but I find myself wearing my Burda jeans a minimum of once a week. And then I need tops to go with them. Putting on a dress involves so much less thought than finding separates that go together.
Clearly the answer has to be a jumpsuit. All the convenience of trousers with the simplicity of a dress. Surely that makes up for the aggravation of having to take it off when going to the toilet.
So I went looking for patterns. This is the one that first caught my eye, from Burda April 2014.
I like the fact that it's fairly smart, but that notched collar looks complicated. I've never made one, and tackling it for the first time with only Burda instructions for help probably isn't going to produce a polished result.
Then there's this one from Ralph Pink.
I've seen a great version of this from Kazz the Spazz (sadly no longer blogging). I really like the style (click on the link, Kazz looks amazing in hers) but I'll admit that the fact it's a PDF pattern puts me off. I don't mind tracing at all but I hate assembling A4 sheets.
I'm also not convinced I could do a good enough job with the fly on this one. The instructions say something brief at the end along the lines of 'attach buttons and work buttonholes in your fly to match'. I'm not sure it works to wait until the very end to make buttonholes in a fly; wouldn't you want to do it before the whole thing was assembled? Kazz left her buttons off altogether but I'd be worried about the whole thing falling open if I did that! I think this might be a pattern to leave until I've got some more experience.
Burda have produced many jumpsuit patterns over the last few years.
This is Burda 103-10-2010. It looked considerably less boxy in the model photo where it was made up in grey silk and worn with a belt. I think I'd take off the breast pockets. Who needs pockets right over their boobs?
And this is 119-05-2010. I like the elasticated ankles. This was styled as a safari look in the magazine. I think this one needs the pocket flaps to make the style work, but I'm not keen on sewing fiddly details that are not functional. Yes, I'm very lazy.
And finally the one I'm actually planning to make, Burda 130-09-2011.
I like the casual drapiness of this style and the turnups at the wrists and ankles. There are no really fussy details. It's not very fitted, which is probably a good thing as I've changed shape a bit and will be trying a new size in Burda in future. The plan is to make it up in a brown cupro fabric I have that looks like washed silk. Fingers crossed!

What about McCalls 6083? You could add a sweater or shirt under it for fall and it has an elastic waist with a looser fit. Did you see that one?
The jumpsuit you chose should look good in your cupro, with its drapiness. I'm looking forward to seeing your version.
I am really watching this one with bated breath. I, too, dreamed of a jumpsuit but had too few options on fabric here. I think this is very much part of your signature look, and once you master this pattern, I'm expecting one in silver lame for the moonshot to come.

Still, one of every 12 high school girls in the region reports that she has been physically forced to have sexual intercourse, according to a 2011-12 survey.
That's 8 percent of the 3,472 ninth- and 11th-grade girls who took the survey in Kalamazoo, Van Buren, Allegan, St. Joseph, Cass, Barry and Berrien counties. The survey was administrated in schools through a youth risk-assessment program organized by the federal Centers for Disease Control.
April is Sexual Assault Awareness Month. Last week, Lauren Kyle, a Portage Northern High School senior, went public with her story of being rape by an acquaintance last summer.
Statewide, about 11 percent of freshmen and junior girls said they have been physically forced to have sex.
The survey numbers on sexual assault do not include sexual assaults other than intercourse.
The 2011-12 numbers indicate that about 28 percent of the ninth- and 11th-grade girls in southwest Michigan have had sex. Among those girls, more than a quarter have had rape as part of their sexual experience.
The numbers also showed 2.6 percent of ninth and 11th-grade males in southwest Michigan have been physically forced to have sexual intercourse.
Other highlights from the southwest Michigan data:
- Overall, about 5.1 percent of the survey respondents said they had been physically forced to have sex, including 4.5 percent of ninth-graders and 5.9 percent of 11th-graders. The grade-specific data was not broken out by gender.
- Hispanic teens are more likely to have been sexually assaulted compare to white or black students.
- Students who are failing academically are more than twice as likely to be sexually assaulted compared to students who get As and Bs, which likely is a reflection of neighborhood and home environment.
Rape victim tells her story; Lauren Kyle launch 'No Means No' campaign.
8 things every young person should know about rape, from a women who survived it twice.

The excretion of creatin, creatinin and uric acid in the urine during the course of acute infectious fevers has been studied by Cathcart,1 Van Hoogenhuyze and Verploegh,2 af Klercher,3 Kocher,4 Shaffer,5 Ewing and Wolf,6 Shaffer and Coleman,7 and others. Their results agree as regards the finding of creatinuria, and an increased output of creatinin and of uric acid. The diets used by most investigators were at times in the course of the experiments of insufficient caloric value and not particularly rich in carbohydrates. Shaffer and Coleman have investigated the effects of high caloric diets, rich in carbohydrates, on the protein metabolism of patients with typhoid fever. They found that these diets retarded or prevented the loss of body protein in their cases. For this reason it was considered important to study the excretion of certain of the products of protein metabolism in the different varieties of acute febrile conditions at

Wayne Stafford provides specialised Myotherapy and Musculoskeletal Therapy treatments drawing on his many years of training with such great and notable therapists such as Steve Lockhart - SLM Bodywork, Dr. Paul Conneely - Advanced Musculoskeletal Training, Thomas Myers - Anatomy Trains, Ross Emmett - Emmett Technique, Lester Cox - Cox Tendon and Ligament Manipulation, Thomas Zudrell - Dorn Therapy, Paul Davies - Goltech, Tracy Fleming - Bates Therapy and Charles and Vicki Tuchtan - Australian Institute.
Wayne believes that tight adherent muscles, tendons and fascia are the cause of most pain and dis-ease states of the body due to their involvement in restricting mobility, the circulation of blood and lymphatic fluid, the entrapment of nerves in soft tissue and in the impairing of normal structural alignment.
Think about this, the effect of damaged or adherent muscles and fascia can be compared to a garden hose with a kink or bend in it. The normal flow of water is blocked and the garden is not watered sufficiently. When a similar disruption in muscle and soft tissue occurs, the normal functions of the circulatory, nervous, endocrine and lymphatic systems are diminished or blocked and the tissues and organs nourished by these systems are not properly fed.
Wayne's specialised treatment essentially "balances" the body by resetting muscles to the correct length and tension, releasing tight adhered fascia and putting tendons, ligaments and joints back where they should be which in turns reduces pain, improves mobility and restores the natural flow of blood and lymphatic fluid.
If you are in pain and would like a treatment, feel free to contact us. We are waiting to help you and get your body moving again.

The Charbonneau commision is retracting evidence that suggested a Parti Quebecois member's company once had a vehicle parked outside a Mafia hangout.
The chief counsel for the commission, Sonia Lebel, says the source of the error was an inverted licence plate number documented by the RCMP.
A firm owned by MNA Andre Villeneuve was among 74 mentioned by police, who took down the licence numbers of company cars parked outside the Cafe Consenza, a hangout for the Mafia that used to be located at a Saint Leonard strip mall.
But Lebel said Thursday that Planchers Mirage Andre Villeneuve Inc., along with Construction LPG, should not have appeared on the list.
At the time, Villeneuve vigorously denied the link and defended his reputation.
The PQ jumped to his defence when the link was suggested at the inquiry last September.
Villeneuve, 52, has represented the riding of Berthier since 2008.
The incident involving him comes with the inquiry facing additional scrutiny over the potential for unfair damage to reputations.
Recently, a key witness whose testimony was politically devastating to former Montreal mayor Gerald Tremblay, admitted he'd made up one of the stories he told.

New population of Critically Endangered monkey discovered
Jeremy Hance
November 22, 2010
Native to the cloud forests of north-eastern Peru, the yellow-tailed woolly monkey was thought extinct until it was rediscovered in 1974. The new population has been found in an area where the monkey has not been recorded for decades. The global population of the yellow-tailed woolly monkey has been estimated at less than 250 individuals.
The monkey's survival is threatened by deforestation, encroaching agriculture, and bushmeat hunting. The area is also known for cocaine smugglers and communist rebels, increasing the difficulty of research and conservation efforts.
Despite such difficulties, NPC works closely with local people to help save the species from extinction.
"Local communities are enthusiastic about cooperating and even initiating conservation work. They make us very optimistic for the future of this very special monkey," says Noga Shanee, another co-found of NPC. The organization has also established a reforestation project in the area.

During the summer and fall of 1938, 10 children were admitted to the St. Louis Children's Hospital with symptoms suggestive of some type of encephalitis. The clinical picture presented by these children was not uniform, but in each case there was evidence of cerebral involvement. In several instances (cases 1 to 6 in the accompanying table) the condition closely resembled St. Louis encephalitis manifested by children in 1933 and 1937. In 1 case (7) the clinical symptoms, although less definite, still simulated the milder form of this disease seen during the outbreak of 1937. The condition in another case (8) was suggestive of neuronitis. In case 9 the illness, which left striking residuals, was comparable to type A rather than to type B encephalitis, and in case 10 a tentative diagnosis of atypical polioencephalomyelitis was made.
Two other children (cases 11 and 12) observed during this period presented postencephalitic residuals.

Top Tools for Relieving Pain in LaborAngEngland
Coping with labor is both easy and difficult there are so many things that a woman may want during labor. Often she'll settle into a routine where a particular birth affirmation, massage technique or position is working really well only to find that an hour later the tenor of her labor changes and she no longer wants what seemed to be working before.
Flexibility and open-mindedness is the name of the game when it comes to supporting a woman in labor. A blanket is just what she wants for now. That she tells you she's too hot and to take away that blanket twenty minutes later has nothing to do with how helpful that blanket was twenty minutes prior.
These are some common and favorite ways to cope with labor especially during natural childbirth when freedom of movement isn't impaired by paralysis or light-headedness that medications can cause.
Candles and flowers. 1 of 7Pleasant scents, and dim lighting can help a woman concentrate on labor.
walking during labor 2 of 7Upright, walking positions are often easier to tolerate and help speed labor.
Gentle massage 3 of 7Especially of the hands, feet or hips - Massage seems to be very helpful.
Comforting Touch and Positions 4 of 7Freedom to adopt any position, with loving support are hugely helpful!
Brushing Hair 5 of 7I knew a woman who brushed her hair through almost all of transition. The rhythmic and massaging motions were soothing
Blue exercise ball 6 of 7Exercise balls are fabulous for helping laboring women adopt supported but upright positions.
Aromatherapy or essential oils 7 of 7Calming, tension relieving essential oils can be soothing during labor.
From pain relief to remedies, Babble's Top 50 Pregnancy Essentials will definitely come in handy!

Study Design. A prospective clinical study.
Objective. To observe postoperative change in pulmonary function in patients with ankylosing spondylitis (AS) kyphosis after pedicle subtraction osteotomy (PSO).
Summary of Background Data. The preoperative pulmonary dysfunction in patients with AS has been reported in several literatures, whereas few research about postoperative changes in pulmonary function with AS kyphosis was published.
Methods. A total of 32 (27 males and 5 females) patients with AS were eligibly involved. Twenty-nine (25 males and 4 females) patients completed the follow-up and 3 (2 males and 1 females) patients were lost. Pulmonary function tests, breath-holding time (BHT), and full-length spine radiographs in natural standing position were followed postoperatively.
Results. The global kyphosis significantly decreased from 63.0°± 20.3° preoperatively to 15.3°± 10.3° postoperatively and 17.1°± 10.9° at the 2-year follow-up. The BHT before surgery was 32.5 ± 10.1 s, whereas the postoperative BHT had increased to 43.1 ± 8.6 s (P < 0.05). Two patients with AS underwent normal pulmonary function test before operation, whereas there were 19 patients at 2-year follow-up. The clinical improvement rate was 85.2% (23/27). The percent-predicted vital capacity had increased from 68.4% ± 9.5% to 79.4% ± 6.1% at 2-year follow-up (P < 0.05). The percent-predicted forced vital capacity before PSO was 75.5% ± 6.4% and it was 81.0% ± 6.9% at 2-year follow-up (P < 0.05). The improved percent-predicted vital capacity and predicted forced vital capacity had a positive correlation with the correction of global kyphosis (r = 0.6328 and 0.8612, respectively).
Conclusion. The postoperative pulmonary function including pulmonary volume and ventilatory function in patients with AS with kyphosis had significantly improved at 2-year follow-up. And, the improved pulmonary function had a positive correlation with the kyphosis correction.

Extracting Data from Very Large Pcap Files – Part 1: Tools and Hardware
5 Comments | Posted by Enno Rey
There is a common misconception that the sheer amount of data coupled with multiplexed channels (e.g. WDM technology) make successful eavesdropping attacks on high speed Ethernet links – like those connecting data centers – highly unlikely. This is mainly based on the assumption that the amount of resources (e.g. RAM, [sufficiently fast] storage or CPU power) needed to process large files of captured data is a limiting factor. However, to the best of our knowledge, no practical evaluation of these assumptions has so far been performed.
Therefore we conducted some research and started writing a paper (to be released as a technical report shortly) that aims to answer the following questions:
– Can the processing of large amounts of captured data be done "in a feasible way" ?
– How much time and which type of hardware is needed to perform this task?
– Can this be done with readily available tools or is custom code helpful or even required? If so, how should that code operate?
– Can this task be facilitated by means of public cloud services?
We performed a number of tests with files of different sizes and entropy. Tests were both carried out with different sets of dedicated hardware and by means of public cloud services. The paper describes the tools used, the various test setups and, of course, the results. A final section includes some conclusions derived from the insights provided by the test sets.It is assumed that an attacker has already gained access enabling her to eavesdrop on the high speed data link. A detailed description how this can be done can be found e.g. here or here. The focus of our paper is on the subsequent extraction of useful data from the resulting dump file. It is further assumed the collected data is available in standard pcap format.
We'll summarize some of the stuff in a series of three blog posts, each discussing certain aspects of the overall research task. In the first one we'll describe the tools and hardware used. In the second we'll give the results from the test lab with our hardware while the third part describes the tests performed in the (AWS) cloud and provides the conclusions. Furthermore we'll give a presentation of the results, including a demo (probably the extraction of credit card information from a file with the size 500 GB which roughly equates to a live migration of 16 virtual machines with 32 GB RAM each) at the Infoguard Security Lounge taking place on 8th of June in Zug/Switzerland.
Last but not least before it get's technical: the majority of the work was performed by Daniel, Hendrik and Matthias. I myself had mostly a "supervisor role" 😉 So kudos to them!
COTS packet analysis tools
A number of tests utilizing available command-line tools (tethereal, tshark, tcpdump and the like) were performed. It turned out that, performance-wise, "classic" tcpdump showed the most promising results. During the following, in-depth testing phase two problems of tcpdump showed up:
– It's single-threaded so it can't use multiple processors of a system (for parallel processing). Given the actual bottlenecks to be related with I/O anyway (see below) this was not regarded to be major problem.
– Standard pcap filters do not allow for "keyword search" which somehow limits the attack scenarios (attacker might not be able to search for credit card numbers, user names etc. but would have to perform an IP parameter based search first and then hand over to another tool which might cause an unacceptable delay in the overall analysis process). To address this limitation Daniel wrote a small piece of code that we – not having found an elegant name like Loki so far 😉 – called pcap_extractor.
This is basically the fastest possible implementation of a pcap file reader. It opens a libpcap file handle for the designated input file, applies a libpcap filter to it and loops through all the filter matching packets, writing them to an output pcap file. Contrary to tcpdump and most other libpcap based analysis tools, it provides the possibility to search for a given string inside the matching packets, for example a credit card number or a username. If such a search string is applied, only packets matching the libpcap filter and containing the search string are written to the output file.A call to search a pcap file for iSCSI packets which contain a certain credit card number and write them to the output file would then look like:
# pcap_extractor -i input-file.pcap -o output-file.pcap -f "tcp port 3260" -s "5486123456789012"
The source code of pcap_extractor can be downloaded here.
Identifying the bottleneck(s)
While measuring the performance of multiple pcap analysis tools the profiling of system calls indicated that the tools spend between 85% and 98% of the search time on waiting for I/O. In case of the fastest tool that means 98% of the time the tool does nothing, but waiting for dump data. So the I/O bandwidth turned out to be the major bottleneck in the initial test setups.
Actual lab setup
The final test system was designed to provide as much I/O bandwidth as possible and was composed of:
Intel Core i7-990X Extreme Edition, 6x 3.46 GHz
12GB (3 * 4GB) DDR3 1600MHz, PC3-12800
ASRock X58 Extreme6 S1366 mainboard
4 * Intel 510 Series Elm Crest SSD 250GB
The mainboard and the SSDs were chosen to support SATA3 with a theoretical maximal I/O bandwidth of 6 Gbit/s. FreeBSD was used as operating system.
In this post we've "prepared the battle ground" (as for the tools and hardware to be used) for the actual testing, in the next one we'll discuss the results. Stay tuned & have a great day
Once more: hardening is better than patching
0 Comments | Posted by Enno Rey
I can't help myself. And I fully understand that some of you, dear readers, might get a bit annoyed by always hearing the same tune from our side. This post is, surprise!, about yesterday's Microsoft Patch Tuesday which – as can be seen here and here – disclosed quite a number of vulnerabilities in various Microsoft components. To make the point evoked in this post's title I'd like to draw your attention to two particular bulletins, both rated as critical.
Microsoft Security Bulletin MS11-028 – Critical, Vulnerability in .NET Framework Could Allow Remote Code Execution (2484015)
The advisory states that "this security update resolves a publicly disclosed vulnerability in Microsoft .NET Framework. The vulnerability could allow remote code execution on a client system if a user views a specially crafted Web page using a Web browser that can run XAML Browser Applications (XBAPs)".
Looking at the "Workarounds" section, it turns out that the configuration of some specific parameters within Internet Explorer (those are: Loose XAML, XAML browser applications, XPS documents, Run components not signed with Authenticode, Run components signed with Authenticode) would prevent a successful attack, including potentially future ones against the vulnerable components. Disabling those parameters (amongst others) is exactly what this document suggests.
Microsoft Security Bulletin MS11-029 – Critical, Vulnerability in GDI+ Could Allow Remote Code Execution (2489979)
To quote from the advisory itself: "this security update resolves a privately reported vulnerability in Microsoft Windows GDI+. The vulnerability could allow remote code execution if a user viewed a specially crafted image file using affected software or browsed a Web site that contains specially crafted content".
Here, in the "Workarounds" section disabling metafile processing is listed as a potential one. Which, in turn, we've recommended here.
So, to cut the chase: once more proper hardening could have been your friend, at least for those two "critical" ones.And yes, we've already taken the potential business impact of these measures into account. We can safely state that in many environments there's practically none. But not having to worry about some of yesterday's advisories and maybe even avoiding getting owned (for MS11-029 Microsoft estimates that it's "likely to see [a] reliable exploit developed in [the] next 30 days") might have some benefit in pretty much every organization. Think about it!
Sisters' Act of MFD Security
0 Comments | Posted by Matthias Luft
Recently Micele and I were researching for our talk about the current state of security of Multifunction Devices (MFDs). Since we're both seasoned pentesters who are quite familar with MFDs, we were really surprised that very little new research is going on on the topic of MFD security. While diving deeper into the topic, we found a very simple explanation for this: As in 2002, it is still possible to download print or scan jobs using PJL, many devices still offer default FTP or Telnet access, and, of course, stored files can be recovered from MFD hard drives — on an enterprise wide scale. To even strengthen our impression of the current state of MFD security, most devices crashed or did go wild while performing some scans — and we do not talk about fuzzing here.
This devastating result lead to the question how MFDs can be secured. Since there are a lot of MFD hardening resources out there, even from vendors, we decided to put together a comprehensive hardening guide for MFDs. To raise the level of awareness, we put together a lot of examples on attacks on MFDs and then focused on the development of our own MFD security guide which is based on the seven sisters. The result of this approach can be found here. And of course, soon there will be a ERNW newsletter to cover this topic in a more academic and structured way 😉
RSA: Anatomy of an Attack
0 Comments | Posted by Enno Rey
Lots of stuff has been written about this blog post from RSA describing the (potential) details of the attack, so I will refrain from detailed comments on this piece that Marsh Ray nicely called "some of the most egregious hyperbole I've read in infosec".
Just one short note. Presumably the attack, in an early stage, used a "spreadsheet [that] contained a zero-day exploit that installs a backdoor through an Adobe Flash vulnerability (CVE-2011-0609)".
I've written about Flash here.
nuff said, thanks
TROOPERS11 – Slides available
0 Comments | Posted by Florian Horsch
TROOPERS11 slides are available now! Please find them here: http://www.troopers.de/troopers11/downloads/
TROOPERS11 was a blast! We received great feedback from all attendees and speakers. This really pushes ourselves towards the next goals and an even better security conference in 2012.
We're happy that everybody got home safely with new ideas and inspirations in mind. On a side note: The awesome TROOPERS badge caused trouble for some of you with the airport security 😉 I really hope everybody could find a way to take it back home. It will hopefully find its way to an adequate place right next to your old memorabilia (cup of the first won soccer match, your college degree or photos from your first ballet show). Regard it as the proof of your latest achievement and tell everybody proud and loud: WE ARE TROOPERS.
Best regards,
PS: Videos and photos are coming soon. Stay tuned.
