Gong Da Exploit Kit Add Java CVE-2013-1493 & IE CVE-2012-4792 & IE CVE-2012-4969 Support
Like other Exploit Kits, Gong Da has add support for Oracle Java CVE-2013-1493 vulnerability, fixed in Oracle Java 6 Update 17, has also add support for Microsoft Internet Explorer CVE-2012-4969 and CVE-2012-4792 vulnerabilities, fixed in an emergency patch in September 2012 and January 2013.
Here is the new code for CVE-2013-1493.
And here the new code for CVE-2012-4792 (aka 4792.html) and CVE-2012-4969 (aka payload.html).
Also a new variant of CVE-2012-1889 (xml.html) has been introduced, reducing the detection rate by anti-viruses.
As always this new version of Gong Da Exploit Kit has been discovered on a Korean web site.
Gong Da Pack has involve to the following diagram.

Gong Da / Gondad Exploit Pack Add Flash CVE-2013-0634 Support
If you are working in computer security and still don't have heard about the latest Adobe Flash 0days, aka CVE-2013-0633 and CVE-2013-0634, then you should change of job ! These vulnerabilities were found exploited in targeted attacks through spear phishing email messages targeting several industries including the aerospace one.
One of the e-email attached Word document was using the 2013 IEEE Aerospace Conference schedule, and another reported sample was related to online payroll system of ADP US company, to exploit CVE-2013-0633. I wrote a complete blog post regarding this campaign 2 weeks ago.
Adobe fixed the vulnerabilities in APSB13-04 the 7 February, but the vulnerabilities were not found massively exploited in Exploit Kits. Also there was a confusion, by anti-virus vendors and security researchers, regarding CVE-2013-0633 and CVE-2013-0634 detection. But as mentioned in Adobe APSB13-04 CVE-2013-0633 was only exploited by been embedded in Word documents and CVE-2013-0634 was exploited through HTML web pages and by been embedded in Word documents.
So as nobody as seen CVE-2013-0633 working outside a Word document, I will suppose that the vulnerability I discovered exploited in Gong Da exploit kit is potentially a fork of CVE-2013-0633 or could be CVE-2013-0634. Colleagues, you are welcome for comments 🙂
Here is the new code in Gong Da exploit kit.
If you take a look at the ActionScript of "myrF03.swf" (506fe8f82ea151959c5160bc40da25b5) you will see some similarities with CVE-2013-0633, like the "ByteArrayAsset" mentioned by MalwareMustDie, or the well-known "LadyBoyle" function.
This new version was discovered on "hxxp://www.jhtyhtrsgr.com/yymex/index.html" a web site how is actually still online.
"jhtyhtrsgr.com" is hosted on 184.108.40.206, in US and this domain name was created the 22 Feb 2013 with registration informations located in China and the following contact "jing yan ([email protected]) – GuangMing yanjing".
The "index.html" file containing JavaScript code obfuscated by "JSXX VIP JS Obfuscator", but traditional traces if this obfuscator are no more available.
After de-obfuscation of the "index.html" file you can see that Gong Da Pack has involve to the following diagram.
Here under some information s regarding the different files:
- vQSopE2.jpg (aka CVE-2011-3544) : 10/46 on VirusTotal.com
- ulxzBc7.jpg (aka CVE-2012-0507) : 11/45 on VirusTotal.com

CVE-2013-0633CVE-2013-0634): 8/46 on VirusTotal.com
Here under a demonstration video of
CVE-2013-0633 CVE-2013-0634 without been embeded in a Word document.
After investigation from @unixfreaxjp, it seem that the exploited vulnerability is CVE-2013-0634 and not CVE-2013-0633.

Facebook, Apple & Twitter Watering Hole Attack Additional Informations
Update: Some worrying information's at the bottom of the post.
As reported by Ars Technica, the 15th February, Facebook was victim of a watering hole attack, involving a "popular mobile developer Web forum". The attack was using a Java 0day that has been urgently patched, in Oracle Java CPU of first February, by version 7 update 11 and version 6 update 39.
Ars Technica also pointed that the attack had occur during the same timeframe as the hack that exposed cryptographically hashed passwords at Twitter. Also Twitter was encouraging, the first February, users to disable Java in their browsers. 250 000 user accounts was compromised during the Twitter breach.
Four days after the news on Facebook, the 19 February, Reuters also mentioned Apple as a victim of the Oracle Java 0day. The same "popular mobile developer Web forum" was mentioned, but with the precision that this website is a "popular iPhone mobile developer Web forum". People briefed on the case said that hundreds of companies were affected by this Java 0day, including defense contractors.
Another interesting fact is that Apple had blacklist Java Web plug-in, a second time in a month, the 31 January, through an update to Xprotect, the Mac OS X "anti-malware" system. Surely a reaction the breach reported in the press 19 days later.
Today, Ars Technica released the name of the "popular iPhone mobile developer Web forum", aka www.iphonedevsdk.com. Now we can gather some information's related to this watering hole attack.
On urlQuery we can find an interesting submission, the 23 January, who reveal that some Java code was involved during the visit of the web site.
On JSUNPACK we can find another interesting submission, the 22 January, related to the www.iphonedevsdk.com. This submission reveals another website who is min.liveanalytics.org with URL "min.liveanalytics.org/cache.js?1358893681579". The "cache.js" JavaScript was no more present at this date.
liveanalytics.org domain name was created the 8
December October 2012, through Public Domain Registry registrar. All contact information's are hidden behind PrivacyProtect.org. Privacy Protection ensures that private information of domain owners are not published by replacing all the publicly visible contact details with alternate contact information.
But going back on the first urlQuery submission, we can see that www.iphonedevsdk.com website was doing three requests to min.liveanalytics.org website.
First call was to "/cache.js?1358897354865" JavaScript with a date of "Tue, 22 Jan 2013 23:21:31 GMT". "1358897354865" return the number of milliseconds since 1970/01/01.
Second call was to "/jquery.js?ummrznjf" JavaScript with the same date.
Third call was to "empty.htm" with additional parameters who are "empty.htm?id=0&ts=X&n=fp&s=Y". In the following screenshot you will se that X value of ts variable return the number of milliseconds since 1970/01/01. Also in the following screenshot you will see a base64-encoded string:
Decoded this value is quiet interesting:
These kinds of behaviors make me think to a statistic backend like Jsbug, but I don't have enough information's to validate my doubts.
By doing some additional researches on urlQuery, regarding min.liveanalytics.org, we can find a submission dating from the 23 January with one screenshot. And by doing also additional researches on urlQuery, regarding www.iphonedevsdk.com, we can observe that min.liveanalytics.org was down the 24 January.
Now let try other occurrences for www.iphonedevsdk.com or min.liveanalytics.org in search engines & search engines caches. No luck, Google and his cache are not revealing any information's, same for Bing and other popular search engines. But WayBack Machine is providing a cached version of www.iphonedevsdk.com for the 15 January, and, and you got it Google Chrome is presenting a nice warning screen regarding min.liveanalytics.org 😉
It is confirming us that this website was hosting some malware and that www.iphonedevsdk.com was including JavaScript calls to min.liveanalytics.org the 15 January, date of the Wayback Machine capture. If you take a look at the source code of cached version of www.iphonedevsdk.com you can see this, a nice JavaScript inclusion.
So we have a timeline associated with this domain:
- Domain name was registered the 8
DecemberOctober with hidden information's
- WayBack Machine cached version of 7 December is not infected.
- WayBack Machine report us that the website was infected the 15 January
- urlQuery & JSUNPACK report us that the website was up the 22/23 January
- urlQuery report us that the website was down the 24 January
Another interesting timeline is the Oracle Java patch and life cycle:
- 11 December 2012: Oracle release, through a CPU, Java SE 7 Update 10 who introduced the levels of security for applet execution.
- 13 January 2013: Oracle release an alert and update, Java SE 7 Update 11, for a Java 0day able to bypass the security manager.
- 1 February 2013: Oracle release, through an out-of-band CPU, Java SE 7 Update 13, in order to fix a 0day exploited in the wild.
As you can see, Java SE 7 Update 10, released the 11 December, has introduce the levels of security ("Medium" by default) and bunch of pop-ups, who are warning you about the trust of an applet. Java SE 7 Update 11, released the 13 January, has force the level of security from "Medium" to "High". With the "High" setting, the user is always prompted before any unsigned Java applet or Java Web Start application is run.
What I can suppose regarding these timelines:
- First, the victims of this watering hole campaign didn't have potentially updated to the latest version.
- Second, the victims of this watering hole campaign did have potentially update to JSE 7U11, but have not change the default security level from "Medium" to "High", despite all the history in Java 0days and advises of security experts.
- Third, the victims, have potentially detect the attack when JSE 7U13 was out, because the "High" security level shown them some unusual applet execution on the "popular iPhone mobile developer Web forum".
Was this campaign a highly targeted attack? I don't think so, why because Oracle Java has a long history of 0days, and serious companies like Twitter, Facebook and Apple should have disable Java Web Start application for non trusted applets since a while.
F-Secure has provide in a blog post 2 other domain names involved in the Facebook, Apple and Twitter compromise, this domain name are:
- cloudbox-storage.com
- digitalinsight-ltd.com
By investigating on these domain names, I found some worrying information's. If these information's are confirmed then the story is complete different and could have a bigger impact.
"digitalinsight-ltd.com" domain name was registered the 2012-03-22. By doing some Google dorks we can find these informations:
A post on Fedoraforum.org, dating from 2012-07-14 mentioning this domain name… and a user of the forum wonder why a JavaScript inclusion is done to this domain.
If you take a look on Wayback Machine, you can find a cached version from 2012-07-12, that makes your Google Chrome screaming….
And what can we find in the source code of the FedoraForum webpage!!!!! A similar JavaScript inclusion as for www.iphonedevsdk.com also calling a "cache.js" script….
We can also found a JSUNPACK submission, dating from 2012-10-22 with same source code….
And we can find some French guys complaining on a forum regarding a JavaScript inclusion to the same domain and script…. the 2012-09-29

Watering Hole Campaign Use Latest Java and IE Vulnerabilities
Through a collaboration with (Jindrich Kubec (@Jindroush), Director of Threat Intelligence at avast! / Eric Romang (@eromang), independent security researcher), we can confirm that the watering hole campaigns are still ongoing, targeting multiple web high value web sites, including as example a major Hong Kong political party. We can also confirm that a second major Hong Kong political party is victim of this watering hole campaign.
This website is actually using the new version of the original Internet Explorer (CVE-2012-4792) vulnerability attack, patched in MS13-008, but right now it's also using the latest Java (CVE-2013-0422) vulnerability, patched in Oracle Java 7 Update 11.
We will provide you further details on the affected web sites after their cleaning.
Chinese language version of the targeted web site is doing a remote javascript inclusion to "hxxp://www.[REDACTED].org/board/data/m/m.js".
This website is a legitimate compromised website used for hosting the exploit files, hosted in South Korea.
This include file uses the well-known "deployJava" function, aka "deployJava.js", and creates a cookie "Somethingeeee" with one day expiration date. This cookie is quite strange and it's also possible to find it in years old exploits, which suggests this is only a part of greater, long-going operation.
If Internet Explorer 8 is used , an iframe is load from"hxxp://www.[REDACTED].org/board/data/m/mt.html" file. Otherwise and if Oracle Java is detected, an iframe will load "hxxp://www.[REDACTED].org/board/data/m/javamt.html".
Analysis of "mt.html"
"mt.html" (d85e34827980b13c9244cbcab13b35ea) file is an obfuscated Javascript file which attempts to exploit the latest Internet Explorer vulnerability, CVE-2012-4792, fixed in MS13-008 and provided by Microsoft Monday morning.
https://www.virustotal.com/file/58588ce6d0a1e042450946b03fa4cd92ac1b4246cb6879a7f50a0aab2a84086a/analysis/ (avast detects this code as JS:Bogidow-A [Expl] through Script Shield component).
Comparing to the original CFR and Capstone Turbine versions, this code is not targeting certain browser supported language, but the code is based on the version used on CFR with "boy" and "girl" patterns.
Traditional "today.swf" has been replaced with "logo1229.swf" (da0287b9ebe79bee42685510ac94dc4f), "news.html" has been replaced with "DOITYOUR02.html" (cf394f4619db14d335dde12ca9657656) and "robots.txt" has been replaced with "DOITYOUR01.txt" (a1f6e988cfaa4d7a910183570cde0dc0). The traditional dropper "xsainfo.jpg" is now embedded in the "mt.html" file and obfuscated in the Javascript.
The executable file can be extracted from the string by cutting of first 13 characters, converting hex chars to binary and xoring the whole binary blob with 0xBF. Resulting file with SHA256 CE6C5D2DCF5E9BDECBF15E95943F4FFA845F8F07ED2D10FD6E544F30A9353AD2 is RAT which is communicating with a domain hosted in Hong Kong by New World Telecom.
Analysis of "javamt.html"
"javamt.html" (b32bf36160c7a3cc5bc765672f7d6f2c) is checking if Oracle Java 7 is present, if yes latest Java vulnerability, CVE-2013-0422, will be executed through "AppletHigh.jar" (521eab796271254793280746dbfd9951). If Oracle Java 6 is present, "AppletLow.jar" (2062203f0ecdaf60df34b5bdfd8eacdc) will exploit CVE-2011-3544. Both these applets contain the very same binary mentioned above (unencrypted).
As you see, the watering hole campaign still continues, but has evolved in form but also by using the latest Oracle Java vulnerability. There is just one advise: patch, patch, patch… and see you soon.

Call 718.991.5700 To Speak To A Fine Wine Expert
With such a charming name, it may be hard to turn down a chilled flute of Stéphane Coquillette's NV Carte D'Or Premier Cru Brut $45/btl. Located in Chouilly, a Grand Cru classified village in the Cote des Blancs, Champagne Coquillette is run by fourth generation winemaker Stéphane Coquillette. Stéphane's grandparents established Champagne Saint-Charmant (see, it's all about the charm) in 1930, which Stéphane's father, Christian, then took over in 1950. When it came for Stéphane's turn, his father sent him off to start his own brand, hence, Champagne Stéphane Coquillette.
To fully appreciate and understand Champagne Coquillette, it is crucial to go back to the roots…literally. The vineyards are planted in limestone soil and chalky rock, stretching tens of meters deep. This type of rock, called "roche mère" is capable of soaking up water in order to supply the vines with adequate hydration during dry spells. This particular soil is key to contributing specific aromas and flavors of the wine.
Coquillette offers several excellent champagnes, but our favorite is the NV Stéphane Coquillette Carte d'Or Premier Cru Brut, a blend of Grand Cru and Premier Cru Pinot Noir (about two thirds) and Chardonnay (one third). This pale yellow bubbly exhibits citrus-rich aromas of lemon and grapefruit, blackberry fruit and hints of smoke and vanilla. Some of the lemon and citrus notes carry on over to the palate which brings a refreshing flavor to the taste buds. Also present are floral notes, which carry through to the energetic and pleasant finish.
The great thing about champagne is that in can be enjoyed in accompaniment with almost anything: various appetizers, desserts, cheeses, or nothing at all! For Coquillette's Champagne, we have chosen a stellar match: crab cakes topped with a mango salsa. This duo is one you don't want to miss out on, so check out the simple recipe above and grab yourself a bottle of NV Stéphane Coquillette Carte D'or Premier Cru Brut to charm away any dinner party!

Scottie Ziegner continued his unbeaten streak with a 6-1, 6-3 win Tuesday against Pendleton's Peter Anderton. The Hood River Valley High School varsity boys home tennis match Tuesday went to the Buckaroos 5-3, with Ziegner winning the only singles dual of the afternoon and the other two wins coming from doubles pairs Billy Edwards/Patrick Humann and Jonathan Hale/Nate Miller.
"I'm trying to come to the net more, to approach and be more aggressive," Ziegner said Wednesday before practice. "I've had a good start and am going to use these wins as motivation for the rest of the season."
Coach Jon Hiatt said he expects Ziegner, a sophomore, to have a good shot at qualifying for the state tournament, held May 16-18 at Tualatin Hills and Portland Tennis Center. Last year he finished sixth in the district, two slots shy of a state appearance.
In addition to Ziegner, Hiatt noted a great performance Tuesday from the duo of Edwards and Humann.
"Tuesday was the first match they have played together and they teamed up to play a fantastic match," he said. "Their styles complement one another and they seem to work really well together."
Varsity girls
The HRV varsity girls traveled to Pendleton the same day and faced a similar fate as the boys. The 6-2 loss was highlighted by first wins from first and second doubles pairs, Vanessa Sandoval/Sophie Oswald and Anna Gumperlein/Petra Knapp. In singles action Emilee Ziegner, Claire Rawson, Miranda Starr and Olivia Newcomb were unable to come away with a win.
"Emilee struggled to find her rhythm in windy conditions against a tough opponent," coach Justine Ziegner commented. "Elle and Naomi hit their stride and set each other up at the net for well-executed put-away shots, while Emma and Hannah saw the court extremely well and did a great job of putting the ball where their opponents weren't. Petra and Anna had close games that just didn't go their way and Miranda came out strong after being sick for the last few days, but her consistent opponent kept chipping away at the ball and wore her down with long rallies."
Boys vs. Pendleton:
Scottie Ziegner, 6-1, 6-3 win
Will Ferrick, 6-1, 6-1 loss
Victor Garibo, 6-4, 6-7(3), 3-6 loss
Cole Shepherd, 6-0, 6-1 loss
Cooper Holzman/Marten Sova 6-3, 6-4 loss
Billy Edwards/Patrick human, 6-3,6-1 win
Brandon Campos/Jorge Calderon 6-0, 6-4 loss
Jonathan Hale/Nate Miller 6-2, 7-6 win
Girls vs. Pendleton:
Emilee Ziegner, 6-1, 6-0 loss
Claire Rawson, 6-1, 6-1 loss
Miranda Starr, 7-5, 6-4 loss
Olivia Newcomb, 6-2, 7-6, 7-4 loss
Vanessa Sandoval/Sophie Oswald, 6-0, 6-0 loss
Anna Gumperlein/Petra Knapp, 6-2, 3-6, 1-0 loss
Naomi Greenwald/Ellie Webb, 6-4, 6-3 win
Emma Cameron/Hannah Bergemann, 6-3, 7-5 win

Definitely hooked but i also don't want to abuse my car.. my wheel bearings were already somewhat noisy before the track event and now they're LOUD. autocross killed them!
they were booming around on the course and it was bugging me every second. ordering them today.
i agree. don't want to do this all that often! i wonder who here goes a lot and how does their car hold up?
I was talking about the numbers on your car. There aren't any markings on it.
Are you sure it's your bearings? It's probably unlikely that they got notably worse from one autoX event (though it depends on how bad they were to begin with). Though, you probably heat cycled your tires more than they've ever seen before, which will definitely make them louder.
You know me, I haven't had my 330 for long. But i've been thrashing, and I mean absolutely thrashing, my E36 out on the autoX course for years and never had a single problem with. You can definitely put some wear on the engine if you don't heat it up properly. But it sounds like your runs are so frequent that you don't have to worry about the car cooling down. I would recommend letting the car idle for a minute or 2 before shutting it down after a run though. If you've introduced any air into the lubrication system from partial starvation (oil sloshing away from the pickup tube), it will evacuate it. Otherwise, you could get lifter noise (ie. friction) on the next startup. I know you're thinking about your cooling system. But it'll be fine. Don't pop the hood inbetween runs. Conserve all the residual heat you can. It will keep your oil warm so it circulates. It's not like a track even where the oil can overheat. The runs aren't long enough.
Anyways. Be mindful of your rear floor pan too. But other than that, i'd just have fun and enjoy the car. If you're getting understeer, you can do a few things:
-Increase your rear tire pressures relative to the fronts.
-Drive around it. (see below)
-Modify the car
or change your alignment specs. Pop the pins out and max out the camber up front. Reduce the camber in the rear.
For driving around it, get your braking done before you turn. You hit the brakes, the car lunges forward and shifts weight onto the front tires. A tire can only do so much. If you ask them to turn while braking, you're often asking too much. If you plow the front end, you're loosing speed. The car is fastest being driven consistently *at* the limits of the tires. If you exceed the grip and the car steps out of line, you asked too much and lost time because of it.
Anyways...back to weight shift. Also keep in mind that when you hit the gas, the car lunges back and takes weight OFF the front tires. If you do this while trying to turn out of a corner, you may find the car isn't as responsive to change direction. In the tight stuff, you have to grab it by the scruff of the neck and swing the rear end out to point the car in line. The car has a long wheel base. It's very stable. But it can't change direction at low speeds as easily as those Miatas.
The key is finding the balance for every corner...knowing when to brake, and when to get back on the gas. As a general rule, i'd start braking earlier than you think you need to (or better yet, brake at the same time, but brake harder), and getting on the gas earlier than you think you can.

St. Louis Ukrainian Catholics pray, worry as unrest unfolds in homeland
Olga Shulga said her father has never lived in fear. So when she learned he had joined the protesters in Independence Square in Kiev, Ukraine, she wasn't all that surprised.
Shulga and her husband, Alex, members of St. Mary's Assumption Ukrainian Catholic Parish in St. Louis, are among those prayerfully watching as the unrest continues to unfold in Ukraine.

Whistleblower Bradley Manning has apologised for "hurting the United States" and pleaded for clemency ahead of his sentence for leaking secret documents to Wikileaks.
On the edge of tears at times, and with his hands shaking, the former soldier read a statement at his court martial at Fort Meade, Maryland. He described himself as a junior soldier and asked, "How on Earth could I … think I could have changed the world?
"I'm sorry that my actions hurt people. I'm sorry that it hurt the United States. I'm apologising for the unexpected results of my actions. The last three years have been a learning experience for me."
Manning, 25, could face 90 years in jail after military judge Colonel Denise Lind convicted him of 20 charges including espionage and theft.
He gave about 700,000 military and diplomatic documents to WikiLeaks while working as an Army intelligence analyst in Iraq in 2010.Reuse content

are they the same thing for sugar work? I see people talking about glucose for sugar sculptures, my hard candy recipe calls for corn syrup. Are they interchangable & if not where do I find the glucose? I live in the middle of nowhere, donot have a large bakery supply place close to hand & have unfortunatly left things to last minute so not really time to surf the net then order, practice, then come up with plan B if this hairbrained scheme doesn't work....

You could always have it shipped to the marina, where you're getting aboard the boat, or to the local American Express office in NYC... AMEX is good about that if you have an AMEX card...
BTW, the Iridiums are by and far the easiest to use, since with the B-terms, you generally have to setup the antenna and then aim it... the Mini-M series has a single-piece antenna that just needs to be aimed as well, but generally it is already put together.
Wow - Thanks for the advice. I'll go with the Iridium. Looks more expensive, but I think I can split the cost with some of the other crew members who want to use it.
Does anyone know how to get one locally - I'm in Canada and most of these rental places are US based. Do they ship them to you anywhere you go?
|Iridium is really the only reasonable choice. Let me know if you find one for anything close to $15 a week...as I am seeing 40-60 bucks a week and $2/minute air time.
I've used the Intelsat Mini-M, B-terminal and the Iridium type phones.
I would recommend you get an Iridium-type phone. The Iridium type phones are by and far the easiest to use and the most compact, being a bit bigger than a cell phone in size. Iridium has pretty good coverage, except at the poles, in highly mountainous areas and heavily forested areas... so you should be pretty good to go. The airtime is rather expensive, so keep the calls short.
Also, IIRC, the use of a satellite phone within the CONUS borders is illegal unless you have a waiver from the FCC. This was true when I was doing a lot of work with satellite phones about six years ago, getting them prepped for journalists going abroad in Croatia, Bosnia, Afghanistan and such, and I had to get a waiver letter from the FCC, but this may have changed... I seriously doubt it though. Just FYI.
Satellite Phone
Hey guys,
I'm headed across the Atlantic May 17th from New York. (NY->Azores->England) With a full crew on a 46' custom built Ketch, to get some open Ocean sailing experience before I try it out myself on our planned trip down south in the Bayfield in September
Can one of you guys fill me in on the whole Satellite Phone deal? I'm considering bringing one along. The skipper does not have one. It would be nice to be in contact with land and keep my worried girlfriend updated on the state of my longevity (no pun intended)
Get it ? Longevity? Longitutde? ahahahaahaha.
No seriously, please tell me about satellite phones, I am looking at a few online and so far I see most services will rent you phones for about $15 a week average.
How does it work? Has anyone used them?

Any experienced iPhone programmer understands that you can't build much in the way of complex user interfaces without tables. Every time you throw together a lengthy list view, tables are a concern. More than that, the stock manner of rendering tables is performance-intensive and results in a visible choppiness in your UI. In this detailed O'Reilly Breakdown, Mike Morrison digs into how to optimize your tables. The result? Faster, smoother apps that still look classy and convey lots of information.
Do you know how nesting cells in a table affects your UI performance? Have you ever thought about the difference between making your cell transparent or giving it a solid background? These seemingly innocuous questions have a huge affect on your user's experience. iPhone programmer Mike Morrison tackles these small but critical issues one by one, taking a stuttery UI and turning it into a smooth, responsive one.
The experts in the O'Reilly Breakdown live video series not only break down the concepts of difficult and complex subjects, they also demonstrate practical implementation and use. Each episode features an experienced programmer, developer, or software designer working on real-world challenges, ranging from iPad user interface design and multi-tasking on Android phones to caching in cloud-based applications.
Michael Morrison is a writer, developer, toy inventor, and author of a variety of books covering topics such as Java, Web scripting, game development, and mobile devices.

Comments about oreilly Optimizing Tables in iPhone Apps:
I've been using tables for awhile with iOS development, so I wasn't sure if I'd learn anything. I learned a few things, and am eager to go back to some existing apps and optimize the tables. The videos are well done and show a nice mix of source code, talking heads, explanations, running code (both simulator and device). I'm glad I watched these. BTW, the source code issue must have been rectified after the other reviews were written, because I got source code.Note that these were done on Xcode 3, so novices on Xcode 4 might get tripped up in spots.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Great video - where is the source code
By marcbeavan
from Guernsey, CI
The video is well paced and informative. It was enjoyable to watch and the presentation style with Michael leading Brett through the exercise works very well.The only criticism is that the source code is not available. It would make it a much easier to pick up in a single pass through the video if you were able to work through the example within xcode too.
Nicely done, but where's the code?

Good discussion and examples covering an important topic. I particularly liked the demos of Instruments.My only issue is the lack of sample code that was promised in the videos.

One man is in custody and another man is being sought in connection with a residential burglary and felony battery of a person that occurred last month. On March 21, 2013, Sheriff's Deputy Chuck Menschik took a report from 1702 Old Military Road in rural Mountain Home from a person saying he had been pulled out of his bed while he was sleeping, was held down, and was then beaten. Items of personal property were also stolen from the residence. The victim knew the assailants and provided their identity to Sheriff's Investigators.
The victim later sought medical attention at Baxter Regional Medical Center and later at another medical facility. The victim was found to have sustained serious physical injuries. A follow-up theft report was taken the next day, March 22nd, by Sheriff's Corporal Scott Thrasher. Reported stolen from the residence was a personal safe, a Walther PPKS .380 pistol (which had already been reported stolen on March 21st), and Iphone 4, an Ipod touch, several knives, a camcorder, and Clonazepam tablets. These items were collectively valued at approximately $700. Later this same day, one of the suspects, identified as 21 year old JACOB EDWARD CAPLE of Lakeview, Arkansas, was apprehended at the Mountain Home Walmart on a shoplifting charge and had in his possession at that time the stolen pistol. Some of the other stolen items were found inside this suspect's vehicle.
CAPLE was taken to the Sheriff's Office and questioned by Sheriff's Investigator Trey Edings. CAPLE admitted to Investigator Edings that he and the other suspect the victim had named, 21 year old CHRISTIAN BLAKE SISK of rural Mountain Home, had gone to the victim's residence on the date in question. They kicked in the door, pulled the victim out of bed, and then beat him.
Investigators applied for felony bench warrants for the arrest of JACOB EDWARD CAPLE and CHRISTIAN BLAKE SISK. JACOB CAPLE surrendered himself to the Detention Center this morning and has been booked in on charges of:
Battery in the Second Degree – Felony Residential Burglary – Felony Theft of Property (Firearm) – Felony Theft of Property – Misdemeanor
JACOB CAPLE is being held in lieu of $25,000 bond, with an appearance scheduled in Baxter County Circuit Court for April 25th.
Sheriff's Investigators are currently looking for the second offender, CHRISTIAN BLAKE SISK. Anyone knowing his current whereabouts is asked to contact the Sheriff's Office.

text: Finally got some vacation time and took my son "primitive" tent camping for four days in Allegheny National Forest. We found a decent site off the beaten path near where we've hunted in the past.Bad weather did'nt ruin our trip much, glad for the time. But yesterday we left camp for a couple hours to make a food run. On our return we turned onto the short rd to our camp, noticed a small pick up truck parked at a trail that led behind our site. Figured it was someone archery hunting. Wrong! I was relieved to be off of work and relaxed out in the woods. We entered our camp, walked around talking. Stopped and was talking with my 15 yr old when a fist sized rock flew past my head between us! I did a what the hell, obvious only a human could launch that. Looked hard in direction it came from. Leaves had turned and I could'nt see any sign of anyone. I told my son to stay in camp, gave him my back up pistol. Walked a 360 degree circle around that point. Tracks in mud (it had been raining constantly, so they were fresh)went down trail towards that truck. I went back to my son told him hold tight I walked fast back out road I had come in on to see if I could get a look at who this was. As I got to the road, two WM mid 30's exited that trail, got in their truck and hauled ass my way. They had'nt seen me I guess. Was wearing a desert gortex parka and kaki pants that blended in well . They slowed as they saw me and passenger glared at me like he was mad as hell. I was so busy giving it back to him and getting physical description. I only got fair description of truck, no plate #. They hesitated as if they debated stopping. But left. I thought maybe because I hadnt been wearing my parka at camp and probably saw sidearm then. I concluded since they were not in hunting clothes and where they parked. They were probably in camp to see what they could rip off. Otherwise anyone else would simply have driven down there. I did not notify police, but did stop and let some other campers know to keep an eye out. They had seen the vehicle and noted they acted suspiciously. Four former Marines who were likewise armed. Did'nt want a run around from police so we just stayed alert last night in case they returned. Let my guard down, bothers me I let two men approach undetected like that. Had to be less than 25 meters best guess from us when one of the two threw that rock.Nothing stolen, but I had loaded anything of value in car so as not to leave anything I could'nt stand losing.Good thing..

So hear are my stand points on this one.
I absolutely hate Obama. anything he does i think is intentionally trying the tear this country apart. The thought of to guys, or two women have sex with each other sickens me. sex is meant to between a man and a women. I do not want to see it in public or have it flaunted in my face. I know for a fact that Homosexuality is a sin. That these people engaging in this behavior WILL answer to God on there day of judgment for these sins.
All that being said, We live in a free country. how is it any of the governments business what happens in our, or there bed rooms? I see you guys saying that making it legal will "make it ok". iv got some bad news for you guys, society already says its ok. I remember having to sit though "celebrate diversity day" in high school. and the only things they were celebrating were homosexuality. (and this was over 10 years ago.) And it is already law that we can not discriminate against them in the work place. so ya its already "ok". Given that we can not change the fact that they are gay, and living in sin. Which would you rather, that homosexuals behave like a married couple, and show the limited display of public affection that most husbands and wifes do in public. (keeping ther business behind closed doors.) Or would you rather they run around acting like horny teenagers, making out all over the place in public the way dating teens do?
Then take in to consideration, that by us asking the government to make laws preventing someone from living there life's the way they see fit based of our beliefs makes us no better than the liberals who want our guns taken away because they feel that guns are evil. This is not the constitutional govt our forefathers envisioned. telling us how to live our life's is not the governments roll. as a matter of fact, one of the first lines in the declaration of independence is..... "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness." Do you guys think that you would be free to pursuit happiness if someone had the government tell you, that you could not be married to your wife's based of there belief system?
All this being said we dont need laws outlawing gay marriage. we need a society free to say that "we are not going to outlaw it, but keep it to yourself, i dont want to see that crap."
In response to your post huntnh... I agree with many of the things you said, but I think some of it is either incorrect or mistaken. Let me first make sure you know I'm only typing this out of respect for you, so please don't take offense.
First off, I have to agree with you about disliking Obama. You hit the nail on the head with all the things you said about him, and he is only supporting "gay marriage" for the votes- plain and simple. I believe he truely has a BAD PLAN for America in the next 4 years and I believe most Americans are stupid enough to vote for him a second time.
Secondly, you stated:
"This is not the constitutional govt our forefathers envisioned"
I also agree with this 100% especially morally. They would NEVER have thought that this "lifestyle" would be something that would become close to being accepted by MANY Americans. In fact, I think they would be appalled by it.
Thirdly, I never said anything about "outlawing" gay marriage... but we sure as heck don't have to make it a huge ordeal where our LEADER is making and saying that it should be legal.
I'm sorry I have a moral delima going on in my head,,, I get what you are saying but my beliefs as a Christian tell me that when society is given TOO much freedom (in this sense open gay marriages) they are going to abuse it. Now, don't get me wrong, I love living in a free nation, but I don't get to go around free loading off people and not having a job everyday of my life either. (AND SOME PEOPLE DO). They take advantage of the system. What I'm saying in this... and this is hard to explain, but there would be so many gay people all over this nation that would have NEVER been gay in the first place. I personally believe this is a pressured lifestyle on especially young people. If it's "accepted" they are more apt to trying it and then living a life in sin. This is NOT something you are born with or the way God made you. God did NOT make anyone gay. God did not MAKE ANYONE GAY. Therefore, as a nation, I BELIEVE we are all going to have to answer to God someday about how we allowed this to go on in our nation. This type of lifestyle is forbidden in the Bible and I can reassure you GOD does not want this issue to be brushed under the carpet and for people to just "do it in their houses". What Obama has done is Satan's work. This is Satan at work on our nation and God knows it. Gay and lesbian lifestyles are not engrained in our minds or bodies, they are LEARNED. If our entire country accepts it because our Government says "HEY IT's OK" we are going to have a HUGE problem on our hands. Trust me... maybe not next year or the year after or after that,, but what happens when Obama IS out of office and the next Republican comes in and abolishes gay and lesbian marriages? What then? What is that going to do for our country? All because we sat back and ignored it. "I'd rather them do it behind closed doors because they are free-Americans" -- well they are doing it behind closed doors and it's not just Adam and Steve doing it,,,, they are effecting EVERY young person that comes into that home or into that family.
We are talking about Morals here. I realize America is the home of the FREE, but comon' people. This will get abused. HUNTNH,,, I agree with most of what you are saying, but sitting back and taking the backseat to this problem will NOT help it, it will ignite it.
Now, on a personal note.... I live in Missouri. I know there are gay and lesbian people out there in this state- i'm not stupid. But I live in rural America and small-town America. What happens when this lifestyle is allowed here? What happens when this lifestyle is accepted by our youth here? Excuse me for saying this, but on the east and west coasts you all see more of this lifestyle than anyone. It's true, I didn't make it that way, but that's they way it is. Heck you can't go 2 minutes in California without seeing two dudes or chicks kissing or gropping each other. But let me tell you this out of confidence
Brushing this under the rug is not something I want to do and it's not the way I want to teach my children how to stand up for something they believe in morally and religiously.

Tailight Fix
Ok I posted this problem at the beginning of the week. My passenger side taillight is giving false indication that the bulb is out when it's really not. I got a lot of good replys but really still dont know what the hell to do. I hate this indication on the dash.
This is the best reply I got but I still dont know what to do :banghead:
"On the intermittent tail lamp bulb-out, it's a common issue since the ground pin (brown wire) on the connector is too thin to carry all that current in the tail lamp bulbs. Some connectors melt eventually. Do yourself a favor and just do this $2 DIY: http://forum.e46fanatics.com/showthread.php?t=418836. I did it and the bulb-out indicator hasn't come on since. You don't have to cut and take out the brown/ground connector. Just splice into the brown wire and run a parallel connection to the ground plane tab."
Does anyone have a more detailed DIY or a step by step way to help me remedy this problem? Photos of the completed project would be nice.
Thanks in advance!:thumbsup:
Go see your dealership, there is a bullitin about this situation. It is your ground on your wiring harness that will need to get fixed.
I went to the dealship ..... they replaced the bulb when I took it in under warranty (before I realized it was a known issue) I took it last week to get serviced now they want $248 to replace the tailight assembly(now that its not under warranty). I mentioned that I brought it in for this exact reason and they said they have no record that they worked on it. I need to look for my paperwork :read:
Ground it
on the back of the light fixture there is a tab where you can attach a female spade connector and ground it to your chasis. Just drill a small hole and connect a wire to it and your done. any questions Email me at email@example.com I can email pics to explain:craig:
8 Attachment(s)
I did the right taillight before since it was the one giving me the problem. I saw your post so I did the left one today -- this time with pics.
All photos are for the left taillight. Process is the same for the right.
The only materials and tools you need are:
- a 0.25" blade receptacle (available in Radio Shack, Home Depot or any electronics shop)
- a 5" strip of size #18 or larger wire
- rubber or vinyl electrical tape
- utility knife
- pliers
1) Release the taillight housing and lay it on the trunk.
2) Release the connector by pressing on the sides then pulling. Take note of the circled tab. That's the point we'll connect to later.
3) Cut a 5" piece of wire and strip one end about a quarter of an inch.
4) Insert the stripped end into the blade receptacle and crimp using any pair of pliers. Try pulling out the wire afterwards to make sure it's tight.
5) At the connector, the ground wire is the brown one. It's noticably thicker than the other wires.
6) Using a utility knife, carefully strip half an inch of insulation on the brown/ground wire 2"-3" from the connector.
7) Strip half an inch of the other end of the new piece of wire and wrap neatly (mine wasn't too neat in the pic) around the exposed ground wire.
8) Wrap tightly with electrical tape.
9) Plug in the connector again and insert the blade receptacle into the tab.
10) YOU'RE DONE!! If you've been having that annoying intermittent bulb-out problems and all bulbs seem to be ok, this is I think a more permanent solution. Replacing just the connector like what's done at the dealer will just bring back that problem after a few years. The problem is that the connector pin for the ground is too thin to carry all that current to the bulbs reliably. So eventually the pin builds up electrical resistance and will melt in some cases. Running a parallel connection using a thicker connector will solve it. (I'm an electronics engineer by education btw)
Holy **** ssm1991! This is perfect...Thanks for all your help and for taking the time to take the pics. I'm sure others will benefit from this as well..
Thanks again!:thumbsup:
AWESOME write-up. I might do it just to avoid problems in the future.
I'm all done light is gone. Took all of 5 mins...Thanks again!:craig:
I'm having the same problem with my car. I will try this and hope it goes away.
My passenger side taillight indication comes up when ever I start the car. If I turn on the headlight, after 5 seconds, the indication goes away. If I don't turn on the headlight, the indication stay there.
Hope this will make it go away.
Nice DYI!
I posted the steps a few weeks ago because I had the same issue and creating another ground fixed it for me as well.
(I connected the extra ground from the same location in the tail assembly but directly to the ground bolt...a little easier and you don't have to shave off the insultation on the ground.)
Doesn't this forum rock! :thumbsup:
I will be trying this way to fix the problem this coming weekend.
I would solder the wire to the main ground wire in the harness. :str8pimpi
Excellent Write-up! Definitely re-post this in the DIY forum! Good information for sure!
Edit: Already moved!
This is a great post/thread. I've been having this problem for months. Tried about everything, including moving bulbs from one side to the other, and lightly sanding the base of the bulbs. Last night I found this group/forum and read this thread (and another similar). Went out this morning and added a ground wire to the side (passenger) giving me trouble. So far, no false warning light appearing on the panel. If it later happens on the driver side I will add a ground wire to that side. Interesting: bad grounds have been a problem I've experienced on BMWs on E12s, E21s, and E30s; mainly showing up on the instruments.
San Salvador, El Salvador
Thanks so much for posting this. I had this problem since I picked up my 330i, and I looked into everything. This weekend I saw that the ground wire connection had corroded and that the plug itself had a hole in the #3 spot. I pulled the wire out of there, re-made the connection and plugged it into that spot on the tailight - so far so good. No errors!
Thanks again!
Just posting some additional info since on my search for "taillight connector" I couldn't find the part number.
If your connector is melted and needs replacement here are the part numbers:
Part # and Description List Price
12-52-7-519-956 Housing $3.60
61-13-1-387-144 Plug $0.72
The housing is the tail light connector housing and the plug is what you attach to the ground wire and put into the housing.
I have a simmilar problem, I just purchased the car and the warning lights are telling me the tail lights are out .... mine does have LED Tail Lights, I dont think they are after market couse I been told the 2004 come with LED tails.
do I need to go to the dealer and have them reprogram or flush the LCM ??? what is that anyways ??
my 325 Ci Convertible model car is from Oct 2003 Manufacture date
Appreciate all your help in advance
Ive never had that problem when i got my aftermarket LEDs.....
You might try reflashing the LCM......
Btw, i had my melted connectors replaced by the dealer, even though my car isn't under warrenty.........Last time i took it into the stealership to have my seals replaced, i discovered 4 door dings and both sides on my car which weren't there before hand. (I detail my car every weekend) $300 fix free..........:)
I know it may sound stupid but I have a 330 coupe & having the same problem off burnt signal but bulb is fine,,,,, in fact when I use it it blinks together with the stop light so please help!!!!
do i have to disconnect the battery or anything?

Bubbling Laminate By Richard Piper Login or Register to download the PDF version of this article. (122.36 kB) A.Architect and EIFS specialist Richard Piper responds: EIFS should be terminated above grade for the two concerns you mention — termites, and the possibility of moisture entering the wall by capillary action. Snow and ice can also cause water to back up into the wall in winter. Most building codes require the top of the foundation to be 6 or 8 inches above grade for the same reasons. If you want the color and texture of the EIFS finish to extend to grade, the exposed portion of the foundation can be skim-coated with EIFS base material and finish.Ideally, the lower edge of the EIFS extends approximately one inch below the top of the foundation and is sealed to the foundation to prevent air infiltration. If the resulting thermal gap is your primary concern, it is better to address it from the inside, even though interior insulation is generally not as effective as exterior insulation. The...

Social media is transforming all aspects of adoption, from recruiting and preparing families to providing postadoption services. Social media can help family members, including birth siblings in different placements, stay connected. These connections can also help adoptive parents fill gaps in their child's medical history and other birth-family information. With the many social media platforms available, almost any adoption has the potential to be opened, allowing direct communication between the birth and adoptive families and the adopted person. This climate of increased openness raises questions about how families are prepared for adoption and what services are available to support them if communication is opened before all parties are prepared.
Social media networks can also be an important avenue for recruiting families and raising awareness about the need for adoptive parents for children in foster care. This section provides resources and information that promote the use of social media for an agency or organization and provides additional resources to help engage parents and caregivers involved in adoption.

Short-terms bounce between +-2% which is fine. I'm monitoring them on the fly with my scanner in effort to diagnose a p0420 code. I thinking either an exhaust or air injection leak, since it happens during a high vaccuum senario. Both O2s on the manifolds switch fine, but the one behind the cat doesn't seem to follow any kind of pattern. After the first 2minutes of starting the rear sensor will switch hi and low, then once on the road it hovers around 600mv, give or take 100mv. If I sit and rev it after running a while, it'll start switching again, but once on the road, it'll just hover around 600mv. Could it have a flakey heater I'm wondering?

|Patriots Look Poised For Another Super Bowl Run
|Bruins Trade For Drew Stafford
|Black and Gold Bruins Turn Yellow On Parade Day
|Inconsistency Will Continue For Bruins Unless A Change Is Made
The January Arbitron numbers were published last week by Chad Finn of the Boston Globe and once again, 98.5 The Sports Hub came out the big winner.
This is technically the "winter book" of ratings and the primary sports topic during this time was the New England Patriots. Both WEEI and the Sports Hub benefited greatly from an elongated Patriot run all the way into early February. The conventional wisdom would suggest that the Sports Hub, being the Patriot's broadcast network, would outperform WEEI, which it did. However, the results from this ratings book were just more of what we have seen for the last year.
Remember WEEI still has "Patriots Monday" and "Patriots Friday" and numerous interviews with Patriot personnel including Tom Brady, Vince Wilfolk and Bill Belichick. So, they are not at a disadvantage when it comes to attracting Patriot players and personnel to their airwaves.
As mentioned above, share numbers were up across the board. Toucher and Rich achieved a 12.0 share to Dennis and Callahan's 8.6 share. T&R were up from a 10.8 share, while D&C rose 0.7 from their previous 7.9 share.
The bottom line here is that in the age of iPods's, SIRIUS satellite radio and internet radio, it's hard to gain market share. Toucher & Rich appeal to a much wider audience. They are the closest thing to a Howard Stern type show that this market has seen in years. Although, I want to make it clear they are not in the same conversation of Stern, but like Howard, they can appeal to 18 to 54 demographics. During the Patriots run they were highly entertaining with a combination of radio comedy, sports talk and Rob Gronkowski.
Dennis and Callahan have been better in the last six months than they were in the last three years. The political talk, which was so divisive, is gone, as is the annoying "Headlines" segment during drive time. Their Patriot discussion was generally solid all season, as were their guests. That being said, D&C are going to have accept their place behind Toucher and Rich.
Toucher and Rich will continue to gain new audience because they continue to swallow up the 18-34 demo. Dennis and Callahan's audience is older and their appeal to youngsters just isn't there. WEEI could make a bold move some day and try to get younger in this time slot, but the rating number is solid and because of that they will have bargaining power in future negotiations, which keeps the cost of the show down. The battle between these two shows is over, regardless of season.
I have stated my opinions on both these shows in the past, but for any new readers, I am not big fan of either show. Andy Gresh, to me, still is the most overrated guy in local radio and Mut and Merloni are just not appointment radio. Gresh and Zo saw their share go from a 9.9 to an exceptional 11.8 share, while Mut & Merloni's rating showed an almost negligible increase from 5.9 to 6.0 share.
The Patriots success was a boom for Gresh and Zo, as their show was almost exclusive Patriot talk. Now, I found a majority of the talk just too mechanical to be interesting. It seemed to me at least, Gresh and Zolak like to show off the fact that they played football while most people don't really care about who can recite the most plays from their college or pro playbook. I still feel the show benefits most from being sandwiched between Toucher and Rich and Felger and Mazz.
The lack of any bounce from Mut and Merloni is of no surprise. Gresh and Zo work on the Patriot telecasts, while the M&M boys are just too associated with baseball. That's Merloni's comfort zone and that's his appeal. The next ratings book should be interesting because the talk has turned from football to almost exclusively baseball. This is where Gresh and Zo fall out of their element, but most likely there will be enough football discussion with the draft and free agency to keep their ratings solid.
If the numbers do not change during baseball season, then management at WEEI most likely will re-tool the midday show. Unlike the morning show, the differences between the tandems is not about contrasting demographics, its about appeal, and while M&M do not have the favorable lead off show, they should not be beaten so handily.
Station manager Jason Wolfe took a chance splitting up Dale and Holley, and it has not paid off for him.
Felger and Mazz, the crown jewel of the Sports Hub, actually had the lowest radio share of the three shows. They did see their rating share rise from a 10.7 to 11.0 share. They also began simulcasting their radio show on Comcast Sports Net, which has raised their profile even higher. The "Big Show" with Ordway and Holley had a slight uptick from a 7.0 to 7.3 share. The chemistry between the two is better, but Michael Holley will not be enough to overcome this wide a margin.
I considered Felger's show a breath of fresh air when it first debuted a couple years ago. I wasn't at all surprised that he overcame Ordway, whose arrogance had created a stale show with little appeal to new listeners.
However, I have never been a fan of Felger's pairing with Tony Massarotti. The show is less of a back and forth and more of a Carson show format with Mazz playing the part of Ed McMahon. "You're right Mike" could replace "You are correct sir" as the catch phrase in local radio. It's because of that lack of a dissenting opinion that Felger has fully transformed from talk show host to character assassin.
The ratings don't seem to show it, but for the last six months it's "Texas tough guy," attacks on Kevin Garnett's season and legacy, Rajon Rondo is an "a-hole," shots at Tim Wakefield, "Cap is Crap" and until December, a steady shots at "Patriot Nation."
I think Felger really came off like an ignorant, condescending political talk show host when he attacked Jason Varitek "as he was retiring" and then hid behind his pathetic comments by saying, "I'm a talk show host." Does being a talk show host mean we no longer have to any standards of integrity? Is it all just what your ratings say and not what you say?
Felger's rise is ironic because he was able to get where he is because his competition had become arrogant and lost touch with Boston sports fans. Felger is repeating those same mistakes, albeit it in different ways. He complains about the callers, the fans themselves, and seems to take any opinion he has as "Fact, not opinion." He carries that from the radio to Comcast and very few outside of CSNNE's Tom Curran even challenge him on his over-the-top opinions. It makes perfect sense: Felger's radio and TV shows have the high viewership and the guests are media personalities who need the appearance fees and air time.
I would like to see this fall in quality reflected in the ratings. I think it might return Felger to what made him interesting, which was diverse talk and opinions that while contrarian, were thought-provoking. I am just one opinion on this issue; the people are the true voice. Right now, it's a steady stream of personal attacks and overstated opinions, but if viewers don't have problem with it, then I don't see the gap between these two afternoon shows narrowing anytime soon.
This ratings book result was more of the same for WEEI. The biggest reason it's not going to change anytime soon is money. The "Sports Hub" is owned by the CBS Corporation, who has a stock price in the 30's and a market capitalization close to $20 billion.
Entercom, who owns WEEI, has really struggled the last few years. They have a stock price just below $7 a share, and lost almost a half billion dollars last year. Bottom line, they don't have the resources to attract the talent or broadcast rights (i.e. Patriots) to compete with the Sports Hub. So, for the near future, they are just going to have accept being number 2.
This is leanest time of the year for sports talk. You have Red Sox training camp, NFL offseason and the dog days of the NBA and NHL seasons. Locally, the hosts all seem to take pride in ignoring March Madness, so I don't expect any serious talk until April. The hosts are going to have to drive the conversation for the next couple months because the sports are on cruise control until the NBA and NHL playoffs and MLB's opening day.
I am wondering though if future columns on these media wars just become white noise because this war is pretty much over.

Just wanted to say that the Sports Hub is a great show off and a great melding of all of the guys talents. The best sports discussion show on TV bar none. Thanks for going live.
How do you know that Entercom doesn't have the money to get broadcast rights? Or why do they even need to get broadcast rights? They already pay for the Sox and Celtics and the station is making money even with the big salaries it is carrying. WEEI doesn't need the resources of Entercom to compete. It can do it on its own.
Just check out the financials, and I have this on a pretty good source that there are cash flow problems at WEEI.
Where do you get the info that Entercom lost $500 million last year? None of the reports I just looked up show that. It's net income per share was $1.81 and EBITDA was $100 million on revenues of $300 million. And over the last 3 or so years the stock has hit $7.00 when it was almost delisted.
Regardless, Entercom is different from WEEI. If it made financial sense for WEEI, they would have to be very cash strapped not to be able to pay for rights. But why do they need another team's broadcast rights to make a turn around? They already have Patriots Monday and Friday. It doesn't seem that getting to cover them on Sunday wouldn't change much.
Entercom owns WEEI but they arent in the same league as CBS. Broadcast rights are big bucks. They are hamstrung by bad contracts given to D&C and Ordway as far as refreshing the programming.
FIne, CBS is bigger than Entercom. Is WEEI bigger than the Sports Hub? That is the question when you are talking about what the stations can afford.
Further, answer the underlying question. Why does WEEI need more broadcast rights when it has the Red Sox, Celtics, and Patriots Monday and Friday?
The refusal of the author of this post to answer this question leads me to the conclusion that he is talking out of his ass.
Another reason WEEI is dropping off is the lack of coverage for the Bruins until it was too late to ignore them. Its hard to pretend they were on board when they ignored the team for years .. and even worse for WEEI, canned Dale Arnold right around the time The B's were getting hot.
Now, WEEI has huge broadcast contracts with two teams that are on a downward slope (Red Sox came in 3rd in the AL East 2 years in a row) and the Celtics looking like its going to possibly take years to be relevant again.
I believe they can get rid of one of the huge contracts this year with D&C 5 year deal coming to an end. They've already gotten rid of some of the crap that lead them to sink ('Headlines' for instance .. thank goodness they stopped John Dennis' delusions that he COULD HAVE been a serious news anchor if only someone would have given him a chance!) Maybe they'll give Meterparel a chance to succeed without D&C chopping his legs out from underneath him even 3 minutes.
You may ask WHY I still listen to WEEI? I cannot STAND Felger, who crossed the line into self-parody about 18 months ago, and they could probably run a "soundboard" of Mazz reaction quotes and you wouldn't even notice Tony wasn't there.
Also, you get Brady, Boomer Esiason, and Chuckles Belichick on Mondays during football season, and Brickley and Jack on the Big Show.
When are you going to fix your comment abou the financials and explain WHY WEEI needs more broadcast rights?
Felger is an a-hole and a coward for getting personal with people and hiding behind his microphone. Attacking Thomas because his politics are not the same as Felger's says more about what an a-hole Felger really is. I stopped listening and won't be back.
You are just a hater. Felger thrives off of people like you.just another jealous loser who can't handle Felgers success . Get a life. HATER !!!!!

"Yep, we're doing it wrong."
That's what one front office development leader who attended our Digital Disruption Summits and Forums in London and Orlando told us after hearing stories of how to survive and thrive in this age of constant consumer-led, software-fueled digital disruption.
And this front office development leader—whose scope ran the gamut from CRM and customer service to Web and mobile apps—wasn't alone. In this age of digital disruption, where empowered customers and employees demand new levels of engagement with your firm, what might you be doing wrong?
If you're not reaching out to stakeholders in your marketing and product development organizations, you're doing it wrong.

Today, the gap between customers' expectations and the service they receive can be huge. There's an explosion of communication channels that customers use—voice, digital channels like email and chat, and social channels like Facebook and Twitter. There's also an explosion of touchpoints, like smartphones, tablets, and self-service kiosks. Customers expect efficient, consistent, personalized service experiences across these channels and touchpoints.
There's no denying that mastering the service experience is hard to do. Yet focusing on leveraging digital channels is one way customer service leaders can move the needle on customer experiences.
Here's how:

This week Wal-Mart announced that it would put significant weight behind the new Boxee TV box, a $99 set-top box that competes with the market-leading Apple TV and the runner-up Roku boxes. Wal-Mart also sells the Apple TV and Roku devices, so it might not seem like a big deal, but it is. Because Wal-Mart is going to promote Boxee TV with in-store displays and outbound marketing support. Why? Because in addition to the regular apps like Hulu, Netflix, and the rest, Boxee gives Wal-Mart customers three things they can't get from Apple or Roku:

Get UK Law Questions Answered by Verified Experts
Hi, thank you for the question.
In the normal course of events if you damage another persons vehicle vehicle as a result of this sort of driving misjudgement, then the other driver will be able to make a claim against you (your insurance) for any damage caused. In this instance it appears that as a result of the driver of the other vehicle being present. you were able to check for any damage together. It appears that you both agreed after the inspection that no damage was visible. That would normally bring the matter to an end if both parties are content to leave it at that. Did you check the area he now claims was damaged as a result of your driving on that day?
There appears to be no bar to him making a claim, but his chances of making a successful claim would appear to be substantially reduced as a result of your joint inspection. He would need a good explanation as to why he noticed this alleged damage later when you were no longer present. I take it you disputed the damage when he approached you after the two days.
I should have asked if you have now exchanged Insurance details.
The damage from what you say appears to be a little high as far as your impact is concerned. Could your vehicle have come into contact with his at this point?
It may be that you want to let your insurance company deal with it. If you think that this make impact upon ant no claims bonus you may have, you could ask him to get a quote on a "without prejudice" basis and if if was a modest amount deal with it without involving the Insurance companies.
I`m sure you were a bit surprised having thought you had dealt with it. The short answer as I have indicated above is that he could make a claim. I don`t know if any of the matters you have raised above is of help. But it may be better to l
let the insurance company deal with it. Otherwise just wait to see what he decides to do. What did he say when you disputed it on the second occasion?
If he thought he was on firm ground he would have asked you for your details. It sounds a thought he is not sure himself.
This damage may have been caused by a larger vehicle like a truck. I would leave it and see what he does. It sounds a thought he may leave it. How long ago was this?
I am proceeding on the basis that he himself has Insurance. I find it a little odd that he seem to have made no request of you.
If you have some doubts and concerns, I would do nothing at the moment. It does smack of a bit of a try on. There appears to be no evidence that you caused the damage and he appears to be unsure of his ground. Any gesture may turn out to be more expensive that you would expect. He has recourse if he truly believes that you caused the damage. I would really leave the ball in his court.
I am not sure you need to contact you company as they would use this incident to assess risk and therefore premium on you next renewal. As i have said your not sure you caused the damage in any event.
I would just make a note for possible use if the matter is raised whilst it is fresh in your memory.
I would not say you are doing anything dishonourable. The position appears to be that you are unlikely to have caused the damage of which he now complains. I am suggesting you simply stand your ground for the time being and see if he wants to take the matter further.
No problem, and best wishes.
I would be obliged if you could ensure I am credited for the time. Many thanks.

Arsène Wenger says his team must restore their defensive stability immediately if they are to climb back up the table.
Arsenal slipped to their second successive Premier League defeat on Sunday when they lost 3-2 at Swansea, a result which left the manager frustrated at missed chances and a lack of composure.
Wenger was particularly unhappy with the nature of Swansea's third goal, which came almost immediately after Theo Walcott had equalised at the Liberty Stadium.
"You will never find a happy manager after a defeat like that. What was worrying was that while we were 1-0 up we had chances to score the second goal and then we gave goals away," he told Arsenal Player.
"We thought we had stabilised the defensive sector but we have been vulnerable in recent games. When you come back to 2-2 and then 30 seconds later it is 3-2, it is very difficult to swallow.
"The team has been very disappointed but I cannot fault the effort. If we score two goals away from home we must be capable of coming away with a point at least. That is where we want to improve and come back to our defensive stability."
Wenger admits he was surprised by the defeats to Fulham and Swansea, and is demanding an improvement from his side against Manchester United on Sunday.
"I put Fulham down to the fact that on the corner we made a mistake. We made [mistakes] again at Swansea and it is important that we focus again on defending well together. That is vital going into a game against Manchester United," he said.

A Whole Lotta Shows
On Sunday, Gaga is coming to Houston. If you don't know this by now you're not going unless you're willing to spend your life savings to get a ticket. She sold out in about fifteen minutes the day they went on sale in April. Now the scalpers who beat me out of my tickets are selling nosebleed seats for hundreds of dollars. I would know because I was in line with a trillion other people when I heard the news. No matter how much I like Lady Gaga I know that there are at least one thousand teeny boppers who are "omgz lik hr bigezt f4n" and would shank the shit out of me even if I did get up to the front. Oh well, maybe she'll play a third date in Houston. I wish.
The alternatives to seeing Gaga play are good too though. There's still a lot going on this weekend. At least George Clinton & Parliament Funkadelic are coming to town and who doesn't love them? Friday night will also see the arrival of whine-core superstar Secondhand Serenade if you're all about playing that skin violin.
Led Zeppelin rock god Robert Plant will be spending Saturday night performing at the Woodlands and is rumored to be doing some Led Zeppelin stuff along with solo songs and his work in late 60s group Band of Joy. I won't even list other Saturday night shows because that one is completely impossible to compete with. Moving on, Sunday night British band Keane will be at Warehouse Live along with songwriter Ingrid Michaelson and Fran Healy, front man of Travis. If you want to hear some blues instead, go on over to the Big Easy for the Tunes for Turtles benefit concert featuring Houston blues legends like musical B/A Guitar Shorty plus dozens of others. As enticing as those reruns of Jersey Shore are, you need to get off the couch this weekend and go listen to some live music and please, no fist pumping.

Well, that's what Space City Rock is for. If you don't want to read the article then just go there. No offense but it's got to have some kind of flow. Publishing a list is kind of boring. I'll go back to bolding band names. That's what I used to do for people who just want to skip around and get the information but don't have time to read the article.
