Health Care Reform May Drive Workers Comp Costs Higher | Business Insurance
Health Care Sector Update for 03/16/2015: NBY, SLXP, ACRX - NASDAQ.com
If I call it "X,' I get paid. If I call it "Y,' I don't get any additional payment. Employers in states without workers compensation medical fee schedules tend to spend more on medical management services and litigation to control http://alex-simring.hubpages.com/ claim costs, according to separate research by Cambridge, Massachusetts-based WCRI. While defense attorneys and medical management services can limit workers comp indemnity and medical claim costs, employers should consider where the expenses for such services are outweighing claim savings, said Carol Telles, a senior analyst at WCRI. Increased use of medical management may help reduce medical costs or cost growth, but there are costs associated with doing that, and those costs have to be considered, Ms. Telles said. She highlighted medical management costs in New Jersey, which does not have a workers comp medical fee schedule and does not require medical cost containment tools, such as utilization review or medical treatment guidelines. New Jersey saw increased use of medical provider networks for workers comp in 2011, which resulted in a leveling of medical costs in 2012 and 2013, Ms. Telles said. However, medical management costs rose from 21% of New Jersey's workers comp medical costs in 2011 to 23% in 2013, the most recent year studied. Employers also are prone to pay more litigation costs in states with complex workers comp dispute resolution processes or where it is difficult to appeal comp medical opinions, such as California, Louisiana and Georgia, WCRI data shows.
The biopharmaceutical company said it has trained a new medical sales force of 15, following up on Q3 2014 and Q4 2014 Avenova sales of $90,000 and approximately $219,000, respectively. Salix Pharmaceuticals ( SLXP ) and Valeant Pharmaceuticals ( VRX ) said they have agreed to amended terms for their merger. VRX has agreed to pay $173 per SLXP share in cash, up from its prior offer of $158. If the minimum tender condition is satisfied at the end of the day on March 31, VRX expects to close the transaction on April 1. SLXP was up 2.7% at $173.99 during recent pre-market trading. Over the past 52 weeks, the stock has traded between $86 and $172.98. AcelRx Pharmaceuticals ( ACRX ) shares climbed in Monday's pre-market session after the specialty pharmaceutical company focused on therapies for the treatment of acute pain said it has dosed the first patient in its Phase 3 study of ARX-04, a handheld applicator that allows health-care professionals to administer tablets to a patient's sublingual space to manage moderate-to-severe acute pain. Over the past 52 weeks, the stock has traded between $3.95 and $13.40.

Gravina...our first American Yarn/
Snow Capped Yarns has added a new yarn to the family; Let me introduce you to Gravina.
In sticking with our theme (sort of), it is named after an island in the Prince William Sound. I try to correlate the weights of the yarn to the relative size of the island: bigger the yarn = larger the island. It's not a perfect science, especially since we keep adding new yarn bases and we're running out of islands .Read More

"I got off to a great start and just kept it together on a few of the more tricky holes," said McLean, who made his debut on the tour last week in Hawaii, although he would prefer to forget the "rather ordinary" result.
Perfect conditions (26 degrees, light cloud cover and little wind) resulted in the lowest first-round scoring average in the tournament's history - just 69.67. Of the 132 players, 89 finished below par.
"It's perfect ... magic," said McLean, who completed a scholarship from the University of Minnesota 18 months ago.
"I love playing in the desert, it's like playing in a vacuum, the wind doesn't really blow and you can't feel the air."
Tournament leader Frazar, whose nine-under 62 equalled the Phoenix Open's opening-round record, was more than happy: "The greens were sticky and the fairways were perfect."
Elkington was the second-placed Australian at five-under and Allenby was a shot behind after scoring birdies on his last three holes.
Pampling was three-under, then Senden and Lonard on two-under, Baddeley (even) and Chalmers (plus one).
Geoff Ogilvy, was well off the pace at six over.
Baddeley had a horror start, suffering three bogies in the first five holes, but the 21-year-old recovered on the back nine.
"I didn't get off to a good start, I was three-over early but I battled back and got to even par," said Baddeley, who finished second to Ernie Els in a play-off in Hawaii last weekend.
"So if I can go out tomorrow and shoot a good score, I'll be back in it."
Trailing Frazar in second place were Americans John Huston and David Toms at seven-under.

Sirloin Caesar Salad Recipe
A tangy sauce that combines bottled salad dressing, lemon juice and Dijon mustard flavors this filling main-dish salad. "You save on cleanup time because both the steak and bread are cooked on the grill," comments Carol Sinclair of St. Elmon, Illinois.
- 1 beef top sirloin steak (1 pound)
- 1 cup creamy Caesar salad dressing
- 1/4 cup Dijon mustard
- 1/4 cup lemon juice
- 6 slices French bread (1 inch thick)
- 12 cups torn romaine
- 1 medium tomato, chopped
- 1. Place steak in a large resealable plastic bag. In a bowl, combine the salad dressing, mustard and lemon juice; set aside 3/4 cup. Pour remaining dressing mixture over the steak. Seal bag and refrigerate for 1 hour, turning occasionally.
- 2. Brush both sides of bread with 1/4 cup of the reserved dressing mixture. Grill bread, uncovered, over medium heat for 1-2 minutes on each side or until lightly toasted. Wrap in foil and set aside.
- 3. Drain and discard marinade. Grill steak, covered, over medium heat for 5-8 minutes on each side or until meat reaches desired doneness (for medium-rare, a thermometer should read 145°; medium, 160°; well-done, 170°).
- 4. Place romaine and tomato on a serving platter. Slice steak diagonally; arrange over salad. Serve with toasted bread and remaining dressing mixture. Yield: 6 servings.

A break from school and work means it's time to get out and enjoy all that your town has to offer. Next time you spend an afternoon staying busy with community activities, such as reading programs at the library and youth sports tournaments, think about how much they truly affect your friends, neighbors, and children. Then consider getting involved as a volunteer to make sure these events continue!
Socializing Children
For many little ones, school and community activities are the only places they interact with children their own age. This exposure helps children develop emotionally and mentally within their own peer group. If your child plays in a T-ball league or attends a basketball camp, ask if the hosting organization needs volunteer coaches to round out the rosters.
Keeping Teens Busy
Not all community activities are geared toward young children. Community center lock-ins and teen dances focus on keeping teenagers busy in a safe, constructive atmosphere. If your son or daughter plans to attend one of these events, offer to bring a snack for the teens to enjoy during the event, which helps the agency sponsoring the event offset the cost of hosting.
Bringing Families Together
In some communities, weekend activities bring families together. For example, fundraising spaghetti dinners and pancake breakfasts often become a meeting place for aunts, uncles, cousins, and grandparents to unite with their families. If one of these events is coming up on your calendar, see if you and your family can help serve dinner or clean up after the festivities.
United Way promotes community involvement and volunteerism to keep community activities alive and well across the country. For example, United Way of Carlisle & Cumberland County in Pennsylvania keeps local residents informed of upcoming events with their Our Community Impact Partner Programs page online. Get involved with your local United Way to learn what's happening in your own backyard.

Pennsylvania Legislature's bill allowing easier pooling of gas well drilling leases draws criticism
Editor's note, July 31: Al Deynzer of Greene County received an improved gas lease for his Center property because his old lease expired, not because it did not contain a pooling clause. This story contained incorrect information about his gas lease negotiations. Deynzer later said he may have misspoken.
Al Deynzer used language in his old gas lease two years ago to renegotiate a better deal on his 58 acres in Greene County, upping his royalty from 12.5 percent to 18 percent, and getting a $145,000 signing bonus.
That probably wouldn't have happened had a bill the General Assembly passed this weekend been in effect. It empowers gas drilling companies to combine leases as long as their contracts don't prohibit it.
Deynzer's lease didn't mention that possibility, and that silence was golden for him, pushing his drilling company to renegotiate so it could add his land into a larger drilling unit common in Marcellus shale drilling, Deynzer said.
"The state might think they can do this, but my lord, what is a property owner supposed to do when this sinks them in deep water?" said Deynzer, 81, of Center. "Why do I want to own property if the government is just going to come in and seize it? It's dastardly."
The bill sped to passage in the General Assembly and sparked widespread criticism this week. The House and Senate passed the provision as two sentences amended into a five-page bill about protections for royalty recipients.
It is a limited form of pooling, a law in which landowners who haven't signed off on joining a larger drilling unit get brought into one, legal scholars said. That's a common practice in nearly all oil and gas drilling states, but unlike with the Pennsylvania bill, it usually comes with a system of rules and independent oversight to make sure everyone gets a fair deal, experts said. "If I had a legislature doing this to me as a royalty owner and not putting in safeguards, then I'd think that's really bad," said Jacqueline L. Weaver, law professor at the University of Houston.
Gov. Tom Corbett has 10 days to sign the bill and is evaluating it, a spokesman said Monday. One of his top aides and Republican leaders did help push its passage, said Rep. Garth Everett, R-Lycoming County.
Everett drafted the amendment and has — along with industry officials and Republican leaders in Harrisburg — tried to distance it from pooling law. This is different because it doesn't force people to have gas drilling if they haven't signed up for gas drilling, supporters said. It applies only to people who have old gas leases that are silent about whether their land can be combined with other land.
"We may deal with compulsory pooling some day, but that is not what this bill deals with," Everett said. "These royalty owners are going to get integrated into a production unit ... they're going to get a check in the mail, and they didn't have to do anything. It's to their advantage to be integrated into a production unit because if they (don't) they're not going to get paid."
As Deynzer's story indicates, it can, however, undercut a rare chance a few landowners may have to renegotiate better deals than what they had, critics have said.
It's likely to have a disproportionate effect in Western Pennsylvania, said Ross H. Pifer, a Penn State University law professor. The oil and gas industry started in this area, leaving a legacy of active contracts that don't detail any right to combine leases into one unit, he said.
Those landowners "had a tremendous amount of leverage in negotiating with the gas company who wished to develop the property for shale gas extraction," Pifer said in an email. "The 'implied pooling' provision in this legislation will shift that balance and remove any negotiating leverage held by the landowner."
Corbett's Marcellus Shale Advisory Commission had recommended in 2011 that the state follow others and adopt rules for forced pooling. That type of law does force people to allow gas drilling under their land, but in turn the state ensures that people who want to drill don't get blocked by other holdouts. It sets up an oversight system to ensure drilling happens fairly with fair payouts.
But Corbett vowed to fight it, spurred on by small-government advocates and environmentalists who advocated local control. That appears to be haunting the state now as it seeks to encourage more drilling without a full-scale pooling system, said Bruce M. Kramer, an emeritus law professor at Texas Tech University who wrote the leading treatise on pooling law.
"You're leaving it up to the operator instead of the state agency to make" complicated judgments on fairness for landowners, Kramer said. "It is quite unique."
It will put a legal burden on landowners to fight drilling companies in court whenever they object to the company's decision, experts said.
"They're rewriting contracts," said Donald D. Saxton, a South Strabane natural resources attorney who represented Deynzer's neighbors. "He would have been blown out of the water if this statute was enacted then."

Are you aged 65 or over? Do you have a love of the arts and cultural activities, but find it difficult to find out what's going on or to get to events like plays and exhibitions?
artsdepot, the arts centre in North Finchley, is developing a digital membership scheme to encourage greater arts participation by those aged 65 and over. The project recognises that social isolation is a barrier to attending the arts and aims to facilitate connections for the over-65s.
artsdepot and University of the Arts London are currently conducting research to understand more about possible opportunities and challenges older people may encounter when socialising, booking and attending an arts event. This will inform the design of the digital membership scheme, and they want to hear from you.

The western as a film genre went from being the most popular form of film making in the early days of Hollywood, to one of the least seen forms of story telling in contemporary times. Part of the reason was that television drained the western of new ideas and stories. In 1959 there were 26 western themed shows airing in prime time. Those are the days of three networks and three hours a night. Today they have been replaced by crime procedurals and reality shows. As the decade of the 1960s wore on, the western film began to collapse. Sure there were successes and and surprises but by the late seventies, only Clint Eastwood appeared interested in fashioning films centered in the traditional American Western period. Westerns rally every few years and achieve moments of greatness or nostalgia. In the year 1969, three westerns managed to make an artistic achievement, a populist surge and a satisfying trip down memory lane. From the final year of the most turbulent decade in American history, I want to share Three Movies I Want Everyone to See. Continue reading

Movies I Want Everyone to See: Westworld (1973)
This is another entry in the Pre-Star Wars inventory of great science fiction movies of the early 1970s. While the story moves forward in some slightly clunky ways, and there are some premises that defy logic in order to get to the climax, the crux of the concept is exciting and fun. The even more important point is how significant the movie is to future films in the genre. It continues to reverberate even today and makes a visit to this retro futuristic amusement park a necessity for anyone who loves the action and adventure of films from Spielberg and Cameron.

The Joke: From Iran's official news source, Press TV, we read that on Saturday an international convoy of 'peace activists' from Turkey, Iran, Pakistan and India arrived to a warm reception in the Syrian capital, Damascus, on the way to Jerusalem to join 'millions' of others on March 30th in order to breach Israel's borders to 'take back' Jerusalem and unravel the Zionist edifice .
What, you didn't get the joke? You didn't get that on their way to reoccupy Jerusalem, these peace activists would have had to avert their eyes and ears from the massacres taking place in Syria? That they would have had to ignore the crimes against humanity occurring right under their noses, in order to march towards the only place they deem worthy of protest?
|Homs, Syria: Among the 47 women and children found with their
throats slit during a massacre by Assad's gangs. Did marchers step over
their bodies on the way to Jerusalem?
Even more chillingly humorous are reports that the Syrian army has been planting landmines along its borders with Turkey and Lebanon at routes used by refugees trying to escape the killing machine that has now murdered more than 8,000. You may well ask how it was that these peace activists found safe passage along those borders without the assistance of Assad's henchmen.
You will also be forgiven for not being aware of the upcoming Global March to Jerusalem because the mainstream media has yet to cover it. You will probably only hear about it if/when it turns violent, as last year's Al Naksa Day border protests did. Then it was reported that Assad paid some farmers to attempt to breach Israel's border with Syria in order to provoke the IDF and divert attention from the escalating violence against his own people.
Earlier last week, what seems like another caravan of 'delegates' (it's so hard to tell who is doing what with overlapping reports attempting to produce the illusion of great numbers) stopped in Tehran and were greeted by Ahmedinijad who cheered them on them with the words, "..the Palestinians must rule the land. No matter how strong the enemies are, they will be destroyed and we must prepare for the great day in which arrogance will be wiped from the face of the earth".
It takes very special people to so compulsively resist the cognitive dissonance inherent in forming alliances with brutal, repressive regimes and, here in the US, we have some of our very own who signed on as sponsors. Predictably, they include such revered scholars as Noam Chomsky, Richard Falk, Cornell West and Judith Butler. President Obama may be shocked to discover Rev. Jeremiah Wright among those names and California voters may be amused to find former candidate for Congress, Marcy Winograd. No one will be surprised to find Medea Benjamin, the Code Pink agitprop pro, who makes a mockery of her avowed feminism by giving her blessing to the sexist, homophobic, not to mention murderous, Iranian regime.
For more information and to prepare yourself for what may turn ugly this coming Friday, I recommend the following reads:

Home > News > 2012 News > LMH offers a Basic Stress Management Course
Published on January 13, 2012
This two session class is Tuesday, January 17 and 24, 6-8 p.m.The majority of Americans are living with moderate or high levels of stress, according to a recent survey by the American Psychological Association. To assist local community members in addressing stress in their lives, Lawrence Memorial Hospital is offering "Seven Steps to Stress Mastery – A Basic Stress Management Course."
This two-session class will be held at LMH on Tuesday, January 17 and 24, 6-8 p.m. Participants will learn why it is important to manage stress, seven stress erasers, how the mind contributes to stress and how to make stress management skills a habit. Registration in advance is required and the cost is $20 per person. Participants can reserve their space by calling ConnectCare 785-749-5800.
According to the American Academy of Family Physicians, stress is a natural reaction and when a person feels stressed, the body's instinct is to defend itself. This reaction can save a person's life in some situations, like getting out of the way of a speeding car. But stress can cause unhealthy physical and emotional symptoms if it goes on for too long. No matter what causes the stress, many of us experience the same signs of stress, they include:
· Anxiety
· Back pain
· Constipation or diarrhea
· Depression
· Fatigue
· Headaches
· High blood pressure
· Trouble sleeping or insomnia
· Problems with relationships
· Shortness of breath
· Stiff neck or jaw
· Upset stomach
· Weight gain or loss
For more information on stress, visit the News and Events section at lmh.org.
Why should you come to Lawrence Memorial Hospital? Hear it from the mouths of some of our practitioners. We are proud of our highly qualified, experienced and motivated group of associates we have at LMH.
Better Health is produced by Lawrence Memorial Hospital and Freestate Studios, a division of WOW, to promote healthy lifestyle and health topics that are of interest to our community.

Top 5 Holiday Destinations in France
Enriched in art and culture France is one of the top and popular European holiday destinations and is known for cuisines, wine, museums and many historical monuments attracting visitors from all over the world. Having a pleasant weather round the year, France offers a number of locations to the visitors from which they can choose according to their preference.
Below are the top five destinations in France where people usually like to hang out on their vacations. After crossing the Channel with ferry to France, the travellers proceed to their desired destinations. Those wishing to relax can go for a calm and quiet location to enjoy their vacation and those looking for active holiday can choose locations that offer variety of things to see and do during the break.
Paris, known as the city of romance, is one of the most popular destinations in France. People can visit the amazing Eiffel Tower here and take a view of the entire Paris from the top of the tower which is simply wonderful. There are also a number of museums like the Louvre, Le Arc De Triumphe and Notre Dame. Staying in Paris can be very expensive, so staying at an outside place and visiting Paris from there would be a more economic option for the visitors. Disneyland Paris, located in a suburb called Marne-La-Vallée, also known as Euro Disney is another top attraction in France. The destination is easily accessible by car or air travel.
In the South West of France Biarritz is a beautiful location with historical significance and boasting unique attractions like a museum of chocolate and museum of sea animals preserving seals and sharks. The place is easily accessible from Paris via the high speed TGV and offers many good hotels and ccommodations on the sea.
For the ski travellers, France is a popular destination as it has many great ski resorts with wonderful chalet accommodation and little shops, offering variety of other entertainment too for the whole family. One of the most popular ski resorts in France has been the Chamonix where people come over the year to enjoy ski breaks. The place is accessible by car, ferry and shuttle buses.
One more wonderful location in France is Bordeaux, located in the South West part of the country. The place being a popular location offers a number of accommodation for the travellers and has great historical attractions like the Croiseur Colbert, a large battleship and it is also the place of botanical gardens with a large lake and St Andre Cathedral. Flights and bus trips are available for travelling to this location.
People who don't want to restrict themselves within a particular destination can go for camping to enjoy fun and discover many unexplored regions of the country for which the most convenient option is car rentals, now available from many places including the French airports.

Aeronautical Engineering Stream
Aeronautical engineering is associated with creation and maintenance of aircraft which travels inside the earth's atmosphere. Although the term Aeronautical Engineering is new to Sri Lankan society, it is growing in-line with the country's expanding air transport sector, as well as the increase in industry-related professionals. Amongst all the courses in engineering, aeronautical engineering is a niche field and is only available in a few reputed universities in the world. Aeronautical engineering has become a highly paid and prestigious career option. Although the salary of most aeronautical engineers depends on their academic excellence and individual skills, the average beginners' pay in this field is much higher than other engineering fields. Aeronautical engineers have a range of job options available to them in the aviation, aeronautical and defence industries. There is a huge need for aeronautical engineers in airlines, aircraft manufacturing units, air turbine production plants and design development programmes for the aviation industry. In fact, there are immense opportunities for those who wish to work abroad. The Aeronautical Engineering Stream within the Bachelor of Engineering (Mechanical Engineering) curriculum at University of Moratuwa is equipped with a blend of analytical, computational and experimental skills for a professional career in the aerospace industry. This program combines studies in mechanical engineering with additional specialist study and project work in the aerospace industry. It is a particularly challenging discipline because of the need for light-weight but highly reliable aircraft. Cutting-edge technology and design are key to this field. The Aeronautical curriculum is closely mapped to the needs and demands of the aerospace industry and general education guidelines. Students will be exposed to a multi-disciplinary programme with courses of study in aircraft design, materials and manufacturing, aircraft structures, aircraft systems, aviation safety, avionics, aerodynamics, aircraft propulsion systems, aviation management and aircraft maintenance. Within that broad base, compulsory and elective modules allow students to tailor particular interests and career goals. Academic activities are conducted by well experienced; highly qualified multidisciplinary academic staff specialized in aeronautical engineering. Students will expose the state-of-the- art equipment to gain the practical aspect of the field. Further, students are encouraged to participate in local and international Aeronautical Engineering competitions and conferences which are a good platform to showcase and nurture their skills. Field visits to relevant companies and academic institutions will be arranged to enhance the students' knowledge. Guest lectures from experience professional will be arranged to share their knowledge and experience with the students.

GOOD QUESTION, MITTIOT !!!!51% of households pay no Federal Income Tax.
When will those people start paying their fair share?
Even though the Republican presidential candidate makes an ungodly amount of money (go to romneymakes.com if you want to see exactly how much), he doesnt pay as much money in taxes as one would think.
ZERO FOR YEARS, comes to mind....

Digital Summer Release New Video For 'Forget You' [VIDEO]
One of my favorite songs we've been spinning the hell out of lately is Digital Summer's 'Forget You'. But what's not to love about the band and the song. Not only do they get some emotional and axe support from Clint Lowery of Sevendust. But, the band includes Shreveport/Bossier's own Jon Stephenson (formerly of Karma Protocol). Plus, it doesn't hurt that the band pretty much kicks ass. You can watch their new video for 'Forget You' after the jump.

calibre sometimes creating very big files
A couple of times when I have used calibre to convert small books of poetry (say 500kb) the LRF end-result created by calibre is very big = 2.5 MB and difficult to use in the Reader. The LRF books are still legible, but have lots of extra blank lines and page-turns take forever.
This happened first when I tried to create an LRF of one book from a text format, and again this week when I did a Mobipocket .prc conversion to LRF.
Has anyone else encountered this, or is there something simple I should do
so that the files are not so big?
I am not deliberately adding blank lines, but
perhaps the many "end-line" and "end-paragraph" characters in poetry books
are confusing calibre?

WebClient.OpenWriteAsync Method (Uri, String, Object)
Opens a stream for writing data to the specified resource, using the specified method. This method does not block the calling thread.
Namespace: System.Net
Assembly: System.Net (in System.Net.dll)
'Declaration Public Sub OpenWriteAsync ( _ address As Uri, _ method As String, _ userToken As Object _ )
- address
- Type: System.Uri
The URI of the resource to receive the data.
- method
- Type: System.String
The method used to send the data to the resource. If null, the default is POST for HTTP.
- userToken
- Type: System.Object
A user-defined object that is passed to the method invoked when the asynchronous operation completes
The address parameter is Nothing.
There is not enough memory to continue the execution of the program.
The execution stack overflowed because it contains too many nested method calls.
A call was made to the Thread.Abort method to destroy a thread.
The URI formed by combining BaseAddress and address is invalid.
An error occurred while opening the stream.
This method retrieves a writable stream that is used to send data to a resource. The stream is retrieved asynchronously using thread resources that are automatically allocated from the thread pool. To receive notification when the stream is available, add an event handler to the OpenWriteCompleted event. The contents of the stream are sent to the server when you close the stream.
If the method parameter specifies a method that is not understood by the server, the underlying protocol classes determine what occurs. Typically, a WebException is thrown with the Status property set to indicate the error.
Asynchronous operations that have not completed can be canceled using the CancelAsync method.
This method does not block the calling thread while the stream is being opened.
If the BaseAddress property is not an empty string ("") and address does not contain an absolute URI, address must be a relative URI that is combined with BaseAddress to form the absolute URI of the requested data.
For a list of the operating systems and browsers that are supported by Silverlight, see Supported Operating Systems and Browsers.

(edit: the videos audio doesnt start until 18 seconds in. I've edited it, and the video is updating on youtube. This is temporary, please bear with me)

So you've managed to find your way to a domain controller, perhaps used metasploits meterpreter, perhaps got system, migrated to lsass.exe and perhaps were able to use incognito to smart_hashdump and nab all the password hashes. Well, you can hand those off to john the ripper and it will happily crack the LM portion of what you've got – but you'll end up with a bunch of uppercase passwords.
Enter lm2ntcrack.pl – a dandy little perl script that will take the uppercase password and use it as a dictionary to crack the NTLM password for you. Only trouble is that since it was written, the awesome guys at openwall who develop john the ripper have changed the output format of cracked password files. The lm2ntcrack input format was written for a ~2009 version of JtR, so to get it properly working someone had to go and make a tiny tweak in the script where it analyzes the syntax/order of the input file.
So I did it! First time, actually, that I've done something like this. And it appears to work! – at least it works on the ntlm hashes I have from a demo network.
Anyhow, here's my updated copy of the script – lm2ntcrack-viss.pl
Save that as a .pl file (it's a .txt so it doesn't get run on the site).
Feedback welcome!
Just about three months ago I wrote a quick post about having the Motorola Xoom for approximately 12 hours.
First I'd like to address some of the points I made in my last post:
Now the TODO list:
Everywhere I go, I get asked "is that the new ipad?" and I answer "no, its better". People look confused. I used to get into debates about it, but now I just dont care. I've accepted the fact that the vast majority of people prefer a snappy UI and pretty pictures over functionality and an open attitude. I've recently figured out how to get my eye-fi to work with the thing, and I've been out a few times while taking pictures and having them zip from my leica directly over the xoom (this is a REALLY cool party trick – I intend on utilizing this somehow combined with a projector at this years ninjapenguin party.).
This platform does everything I need that doesn't require massive horsepower including simple security tasks – like portscanning and browsing open fileshares, nmapping, and running metasploit. I can watch movies on it, get directions (chrome to phone is awesome on this thing), watch full-screened high-res episodes of southpark from southparkstudios.com and other flash sites (since it supports flash) browse full HTML5 and flash websites, and even set it up like a mini entertainment set – with the jawbone jambox speakers setup as bluetooth speakers.
It's overclocked from 1ghz to 1.6 ghz with little to no impact on the battery. The modified kernel allows me to have external SD storage enabled and PTP and USB OTG modes so that I can plug in external devices and storage (though I have not yet tried a mouse or keyboard, usb sticks and my leica d-lux 4 work like a champ – for some reason the d3s isn't properly recognized, so I've opened a ticket with google). I hope to use it in a photography sense as well (in Vegas this year, if I'm lucky) with the square reader and squareup app – which lets me accept credit cards as an individual. I can torrent from the thing, as well as use it as a backup phone by way of a skype-in number and a bluetooth headset. The list just goes on and on!
I've been tapped to use it as a support tool – once at drinkup a friend had a need to use a variety of basic linux tools such as traceroute, ping and telnet – I was able to hand him my xoom in an ubuntu chroot and tell him 'go to town'. I can use it to remote control any of my computers as well, even remotely 'hamachi style' using a tool called neorouter.
I intend for this to be my "computer" while I'm at Defcon/Blackhat this year. I can easily offload all my photos to it, and it does everything I need while I'm on the go. Someday I hope to actually give a talk from this thing, completely without a laptop.
tl;dr: If you just want a toy, buy an ipad. If you want a tool? Buy the xoom.
How to hack a facebook account – or, basically how to hijack php sessions. Yes – this is old news – yes its a common vulnerability – but you get a better idea for what it is and how it works when things are explained in detail (with screenshots!).
Before we begin, however, I want to re-emphasize that it is VERY EASY to protect yourself against this sort of attack. Facebook supports HTTPS, so when you browse facebook (or twitter for that matter) or if you have it bookmarked – please make sure you're using HTTPS:// rather than HTTP:// in the URL at the very least, if not using a VPN solution for further encryption. Also, if the 'victim' logs out of facebook, the attackers session becomes invalid – so it's a good practice to actually log out of facebook and log back in again rather than using the 'remember me' checkbox.
Facebook like many sites operates using authentication cookies. Their auth cookies contain a variety of information, but for our purposes this is irrelevant. Here is a sanitized cookie for reference:
Cookie: datr=1276721606-b7f94f977295759399293c5b0767618dc02111ede159a827030fc; lsd=Xesut; lxe=greg.evans%40****************; c_user=100001230367821; lo=wl9fcGXMhPfoT4bAhKFP3Q; lxs=1; sct=1276721745; xs=a615cfe596448194d6e2a8d062a90e4e
You can see the 'lxe' field is the login. We haven't done any further research into what the various other fields mean, but using facebook without any kind of security you're both leaking the email address used for your login and the session cookie.
First thing you'll want to do is fire up your favorite packet capture application. For this example we've used Wireshark:
Next, set the filter in the top left to " http.cookie contains "datr" ". This should show you only packets captured which contain the cookie we're looking for. You can see that in this screenshot we've already captured a cookie.
Once you've found a suitable cookie, you can copy it into the buffer by right clicking on the cookie line, and clicking Copy -> Bytes (Printable Text Only)
Next you'll want to open up firefox. You'll need both greasemonkey and the cookieinjector script.
Simply browse to facebook – make sure you are not logged in:
Hit ALT-C to bring up the cookie injector dialog box:

Neat huh? Pretty easy too. I smiled big when we demo'ed the attack in our lab – its old, sure, but being successful is always a good feeling!
P.S: This isnt REALLY Gregory Evans account. We setup this account because .. well.. the name was available! We thought it was in good taste as the No #1 hacker's twitter feed got hacked the other day, his site is riddled with XSS exploits, and his book is copypasta from a variety of certification exam prep books. Thanks to Nick and mckt for the work and tootilage, respectively. No noobs were harmed in the making of this film.
However good or bad you think you are at security, this may put a few details into perspective for you:
In the last few weeks Ligatt Security has been "making headlines" with their 90's-esque hackers-style commercials and advertisements – the three most notable of which advertise that large black men, 12 year old boys, and "hackers" with what appear to be ethernet-enabled projectorgoggles are "out to get you". Their fear-based marketing campaign slants the average computer users security experience using the standard "if you don't hire us, your life is pretty much over" routine.
It's a pretty huge bag of fail – I really hope this is a learning experience for them. One of the more important 'scout badges' I've earned in my time as a contractor so far is "practice what you preach". A "large", publicly traded "information security company" probably should have taken the time to do some BASIC SECURITY on their own website – CLICKY!
EDIT: After a couple of twitter posts about this they've firewalled me off of the host. Firewalling one guy isn't gonna help guys, I'm certain I'm not the only person to have found a CORNUCOPIA of publicly available vulnerabilities on your site.
How many of those wordpress, joomla, drupal blogs, web2.0 products of various sort and other websites do you go to that are encrypted using SSL(https)? How many times a day to you enter your credentials, or use cookie based (the 'remember me' checkbox type) authentication on websites a day? Do you find yourself in coffee shops, or other public wifi frequently and sometimes wonder who is watching your traffic?
I know I do. Up until now I've been using SSH tunnels to get my traffic back home where I know nobody is running a packetsniffer. The trouble with SSH tunnels though is that they're fickle, and often drop. I wanted a better solution – so I made one.

I was late to hear – by a day. Thats 10 years in internet time, we all know. If you're not in InfoSec you probably didn't hear. Maybe you heard somewhere, irc, twitter, other bits of the intarnets that Kevin Mitnick got hacked. Everyone chuckled. As it turns out a whole bunch of people got compromised. People I know personally who I consider friends. Rob Fuller, Dan Kaminsky, the Hak5 group and a handful of others, including Kevin Mitnick.
Personal details were revealed, emails, chat logs – pretty scary stuff – and very sobering. A clear demonstration that things like cross site scripting and the spreading of malware (likely for the use of cascading spam or addition to botnets) is the least of our problems. Also clear proof that people who consider themselves security folks have to be very wary of using creature comforts such as reusing passwords or even operating a wordpress blog (3 updates in a month?! and 2.8.2 is vulnerable? gaw!).
I'm very very open and transparent about security, technology and what I do. I've written documentation so thorough that my clients have ended the contracts stating "we dont need you anymore – with these docs we can do the work ourselves" – in the grander scheme of things thats awesome. I love it when clients learn from me and it makes me feel really good about what I do – especially if it sticks the first time – but it certainly is prohibitive towards me paying my rent.
I've been very vocal in the last year about what I do – to the point it manifests itself as talks I give during BarCamp (LA and San Diego), and Refresh San Diego which is held at Qualcomm. Here is my most recent talk
Security102, part 2 from Dan Tentler on Vimeo.
Video courtesy of @northlight
I thought that doing security101 at places like oggis may have been a tactical mistake because I want people to actually learn and benefit from some of this stuff, so having the discussion broken by the wait staff frequently simply murdered all the momentum the discussion had and the event turned into a hacking 101 lab where I just demonstrated attacks.
That being the case doing a security101 class in an actual classroom environment where I can have the attendees comfortable and perhaps even have a projector would likely be far far better. Phelan was gracious enough to let me usurp the january installment of refreshsd to give my security101 talk in a more meaningful and more formal environment. Refresh this month is on the 13th – see refreshsd.org for details, or see the meetup group.
Here is my proposed curriculum:
Basic networking
– How do computers talk?
– what is a packet?
– whats IN a packet?
clear text versus encryption (http, ftp, dns)
how websites pass information around
How to tell if the site you're on is passing your information encrypted or not.
Some network voodoo – watching the stream
-watching dns queries
(the next three may or may not be permitted depending on qualcomms network configuration)
basic man in the middle example
faking ssl certs
changing dns
Hope to see you all there!
Everyone knows that there are vunlerabilities from time to time and you should upgrade things like wordpress, windows, osx and other pieces of software commonly used by lots of people. One thing that people don't take into account is the actual times and dates of the proof of concept (POC), subsequent weaponization of the exploit (if it came from a nefarious source) then the vendors patch and announcement (if they even notice or care).
Lets take the most recent exploit that came out for internet explorer as our example. The first easily referencable date I could find for this exploit.
Thats right – Four days from POC to "publically downloadable and available for anybody to use".
The day I'm writing this post (Monday Night, Dec 16) The microsoft investigation page still says they're investigating. If they have any sense tomorrows 'patch tuesday' security patch should contain a fix.
That being said – It's been a week and there is no patch. What does that mean for the end user, CEO, Marketing folks, Sales people, Graphic Artists and other people who arent focused on security all the time?
Not everyone has to be security concious all the time. For that theres people like us!
Heres something I see every day: The list of new exploits that come out on milw0rm.com (which is just one of the many sites that exist for publishing known exploits):
Look at the third one down on Dec 15 🙂

Lions play 'Can't Feel My Face' when Geno Smith announced inactive
The song "Can't Feel My Face" by The Weeknd played at Ford Field when Jets quarterback Geno Smith was announced as inactive before the exhibition game between the Jets and the Lions on Thursday.
Former Jets linebacker Ikemefuna Enemkpali punched Smith in the face and broke his jaw in a locker room fight on Tuesday. Smith will be out six to 10 weeks after undergoing surgery.
The song earned the No. 1 spot on the Billboard Hot 100 chart for the week of Aug. 22. Its broadcast could simply be credited to its popularity or could have been a jab at Smith.
The Lions beat the Jets, 23–3 in their preseason opener. Ryan Fitzpatrick started at quarterback for the Jets, going 2 of 3 for 16 yards before turning the ball over to Bryce Petty, who played most of the game at quarterback.

When I connect my phone to my Macbook, I get the dreaded "there is no SD card found" message (huh?) Do I need to uninstall then reinstall the program? Any help greatly appreciated,
First, when you connect your Epic to your computer Android should pop up a message asking how you want to connect to your computer with "Disk Drive" being one of your options. In that popup there is a check box for "Don't Ask Again", so if that box is checked and a different option was previously selected then you will not see the Epic as a disk drive. You should be able to remedy that by pulling down the status bar in Android's main window and selecting "Disk Drive" as the connection method after the Epic is connected to your computer.
If you can not find the /eBooks/import folder you could always create it your self? However, I believe that Aldiko will create it if it is non-existent the first time that ask you Aldiko to scan for books on the SD card.

He won an NBA championship with Michael Jordan's Bulls in 1997.
Dele, whose father Tony was an original member of the 1950s group The Platters, changed his name in 1998 to honour his American Indian ancestry.
Dele shocked the NBA in 1999 when, citing a loss of passion for the game, he announced his retirement, walking away from more than $US30 million ($A55 million) left on a five-year contract with the Pistons.
After retiring, he moved to Lebanon, where he owned a water purification plant for a year, and then to Australia.
Dele was to have sailed the Hakuna Matata to Hawaii from French Polynesia in July with Karlan, his girlfriend of seven months, Saldo, who is a nephew of former French defence minister Charles Hernu, and his older brother, Kevin.
But the catamaran, repainted and renamed, was found abandoned last week in Phaeton Bay, east of Papeete, the territory's capital.
The FBI issued an arrest warrant for Kevin Williams last week after he allegedly tried to purchase $US152,000 ($A278,000) worth of gold bullion in Phoenix, Arizona, on September 5 using the passport of his younger brother.
Dabord had been briefly taken into custody by suspicious Phoenix police but was released and is believed to have since fled to Mexico.
French public prosecutor Michel Marotte told AFP that the "police did not apparently feel it was necessary to jail" Kevin Williams at the time, but "with what has come to light since then one can fear the worst."
The independent Pacnews agency quoted Marotte as saying there was "reason to be pessimistic about the fate of the missing people" and that it had become "a possible triple murder case."
In the last known contact with their families, Serena Karlan telephoned her parents in the United States on July 8.
The Hakuna Matata left for Honolulu, Hawaii, sometime between July 8 and 10 but the catamaran returned to French Polynesia a week later with only Kevin Williams on board.
The name of the boat had been removed and it was registered by Kevin Williams with port authorities under the name of Aria Bella.
Prosecutors said later that a search of the boat had not turned up any bodies or incriminating evidence.

We all know the diet that we're supposed to follow for good health: low in fat and calories, rich in fruits, vegetables, and whole grains. But when you have prostate cancer, your diet and how you prepare food has an even bigger impact on your health.
A Prostate Cancer Diet? "There's really no specific diet for prostate cancer," says Kristina Ratley, RD, CSO, LDN, a dietitian at the American Cancer Society. That said, there are healthier ways to prepare foods for all cancer patients, including those with prostate cancer. According to Ratley, this involves healthy, balanced meals, cutting back on red meat, and eating as many fruits and vegetables as possible.
Eat your fruits and greens! "We recommend trying to get at least five servings of fruit and vegetables a day," says Ratley. This should include lots of cruciferous vegetables, such as broccoli, cauliflower, greens, cabbage, Brussels sprouts, and bok choy. She also advises adding plenty of antioxidant-rich fruits, such as berries, cherries, plums, red grapes, and prunes.
Substitute fish and plants for meat. "We don't advocate that cancer survivors have to become vegetarians, but we do stress that all cancer patients, including prostate cancer patients, focus more on a plant-based diet," says Ratley. "By that we mean trying to get your protein more from beans, nuts, flaxseed, and low-fat dairy products." Ratley also recommends decreasing your intake of beef, pork, and lamb and substituting fatty fish with a high omega-3 fatty acid content. "That would include salmon, white canned tuna, sardines, farmed trout, and mackerel." One study published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition found that men who ate a diet high in fish were 44 percent less likely to develop metastatic prostate cancer and 63 percent less likely of dying from the disease. Another study, from UCLA's Jonsson Cancer Center, found that fish oil supplements slowed the growth of prostate cancer cells.
Use lighter oils and cooking methods. Ratley recommends that caregivers cook meals for cancer patients using canola oil or olive oil in place of saturated fats, such as butter or vegetable shortening. Cooking methods matter, too — use low-fat cooking methods such as broiling or baking instead of frying.
Adjusting to the Prostate Cancer Patient's Dietary Needs Besides these general recommendations, you may also need to adjust how food is prepared to suit the patient's dietary needs.
Curb weight loss. If a prostate cancer patient is struggling with appetite and weight loss, you may need to change the way of cooking and preparing food. You may need to season foods differently so that they taste better to him, or add sauces and herbs to mask certain flavors. If he is losing too much weight, you may have to cook with higher-calorie ingredients.
Cut the fiber for gas relief. "Some prostate cancer patients, depending on the amount of radiation they are getting, may have trouble with diarrhea. They may need to limit their fiber intake and limit the gassy vegetables," Ratley notes.
Avoid certain foods and preparation methods. Foods that can increase the risk of developing prostate cancer, or those shown to encourage progression of the disease, should also be avoided if you have prostate cancer or are hoping to prevent it. The way you cook food may also make a difference. Reduce the amount of grilled meat that you eat to limit your exposure to cancer-causing PhIP, a substance that has been found in grilled meats. If you do prepare meats using this method, turn the meat often on the grill and reduce the char buildup (blackened areas) on it.
Bottom line: Stick to a diet rich in fruits and vegetables, and get plenty of whole grains. Go easy on the meat, especially red meat, and stay away from that grill to help your body fight prostate cancer.

The world's fourth largest steel maker Kobe Steel is still waiting for acquiring a stake in Vietnam's largest iron ore deposit before it can start construction of its mega project in central Nghe An province.
"Since the $1 billion iron nugget manufacturing facility was relocated from Hoang Mai Industrial Park to Dong Hoi Industrial Park a year ago, it remains standstill," said Phan Xuan Hoa, deputy director at Nghe An South East Economic Zone Authority. In March 2010, Kobe Steelwas licenced to develop the 2.4 million tonne steel facility. The production at this plant would use the next-generation ITmk3 iron-making process that the firm developed. A Kobe Steel representative told VIR that: "Kobe Steel wants to use iron ores from Thach Khe deposit in central Ha Tinh province to produce nuggets. To do that, it needs to hold a stake in this deposit." He said Prime Minister Nguyen Tan Dung had approved Kobe Steel's proposal to take part in Thach Khe Iron Joint Stock Company (TIC) to exploit iron ores at 544 million tonne Thach Khe deposit. "Kobe Steel is still waiting for the Ministry of Industry and Trade's (MoIT) direction on capital contribution," said the representative. Established in May 2007, TIC had nine shareholders - Vinacomin (30 per cent), Mitraco (24), Vietnam Steel Corporation (20), BIDV (5), Song Da Group (5), Vinashin (5), VNPT (4), the Binh Minh Import-Export (4) and Thang Long Mineral and Metallurgy (3). Last year, Vinacomin decided to buy out Vinashin, Song Da and VNPT's stakes while domestic steel maker Hoa Phat replaced BIDV in TIC. A senior MoIT official told VIR that foreign investors' participation in TIC including Kobe Steel's would be taken into account after TIC's restructuring plan, already submitted to the prime minister, was approved. Preparations for mining works at Thach Khe deposit stopped in mid-2011 due to this restructuring plan.

John Edward captivated us in Crossing Over with John Edward with his unique abilities to connect people with loved ones who have passed on. John is one of the world's most sought-after psychic mediums and author of several books including the critically acclaimed New York Times best seller One Last Time; What if God Were the Sun, which was turned into a Lifetime movie starring Gena Rowlands.
As he embarks on a worldwide tour, this busy father of two opened up to Celebrity Baby Scoop about his fears of fatherhood, his uncanny ability to predict future events, and how his gift can be disappointing and "never enough" for so many.
CBS: You and your wife Sandra are parents to 7-year-old son Justin and 3-year-old daughter Olivia. How has fatherhood changed you?
JE: "The first thing that is does is make you aware of all the potential things that can go wrong and how on top of them you need to be. My wife laughs at me and tells me that I am channeling my grandmother Josephine all the time, and she was a very protective soul.
Add in being a medium for me, and it gets worse! Too many times people sit in front of me with that look of loss because they walked away or let someone else watch their kids. I can't be everywhere all the time, but I try to be."
CBS: Do you sense that you and your children have been connected in past lives? Have you done readings on them?
JE: "I believe that most of the people in our lives have been connected in previous incarnations. I don't 'read' them per se, but I 'know' them."
CBS: Do you think your children have your psychic abilities?
JE: "All kids have psychic abilities as do all adults. Children just listen better."
CBS: What are some of the ways we can improve our psychic abilities?
JE: "The next book that I am working on is about developing your intuition and abilities. Not to do readings, but to apply that to your everyday life."
CBS: Are you able to connect with my energy and do a reading on me?
JE: "If you mean right now, no. If you are asking if it is possible, then I would have to say yes. I make it a rule not to read for journalists. I feel they lose objectivity and write about whether they LIKE what I said or not, not the validity of it."
CBS: In May, you're starting an International tour. Will your wife and children join you 'on the road'?
JE: "They will not. I like to focus my energy on the work and maintain my energy for that. It gets quite lonely on the road when you do that, but the work has to come first. People need me to focus my energy on them, all of it. It is my job.
It is very rare that I bring them. I then worry about what they are doing, are they having fun, etc."
CBS: What can the people in your audience expect?
JE: "They should expect what they see me do on TV but better, because it's live and they are IN the ENERGY of the experience….and no commercials!"
CBS: Do you ever have people that won't leave the event in desperation of a reading?
JE: "I know that at the end of every event, and sometimes even a private session, there is disappointment. The reality for me is that every time I begin my job, it's at a deficit. I start my job everyday knowing that it's never enough. It is NEVER enough. No matter how hard I work, it still not enough. By being at the event, my role is to educate and empower all that attend, while reading as many as I can as the examples."
CBS: Do you ever get exhausted of it all and just want to escape to a 'normal' life?
JE: "This is my normal life! And I really am honored to have the opportunities as a result. I feel like I live in the movie the Matrix a bit; I took the red pill and there has been no turning back for me. I live my life with an awareness of the energy of the Universe and am honored to teach and share it. The goal is to get people to recognize it, void of their ego and sense of entitlement."
CBS: We loved your show Crossing Over with John Edward! Will you ever return to TV?
JE: "Working on some really amazing projects right now. I would encourage everyone to watch for updates on www.johnedward.net for all future announcements."
CBS: Have you ever predicted any natural disasters, high-profile deaths or top stories? Do you have any predictions for the future?
JE: "The reality is YES all the time. If I listed them here right now I promise you would be impressed. You could also say, 'well they happened already, how do I know that you said it was going to happen??' And that is why I am not listing them. But if you speak to those around me, and closest, they would tell you. That is why I tell like 3-6 people whenever I get something big coming up. I sometimes will forget myself. When multiple people come back and say, 'OMG, you said that was going to happen like seven years ago' it validates the message from my Guides, and THEY are the deservers of the credit, not me."
CBS: What do you have to say to your critics?
JE: "Nothing."
CBS: If you are working on any future projects or with any charities, please feel free to discuss.
JE: "I work with various charities all year to help them fundraise. I'm a believer in karma, and like to raise awareness in multiple ways.
I launched an internetwork called INFINITEQUEST.com last year. With the convergence of technology, I am going to be producing TV shows on the web and this is where it will happen over the next few years.
I will still be doing regular TV as well and my first book in five years is being released in the fall and it is called INFINITE QUEST as well.
Thank you for taking the time to interview me and express interest in the work I do. All the best."

California Tortilla Restaurant Review: Few places take such an edgy approach to creating tacos and burritos as this eatery with the California free spirit. Once you've fought your way to the counter, consider the many choices: Thai chicken, blackened chicken Caesar, Buffalo chicken wing burritos, fajita platters or barbecue chicken. Burritos come in small or regular sizes, but they all look overstuffed. Everything is made fresh daily, and the cooks don't use lard or animal fats. Love to experiment? Try the carnitas verde burrito or the Caribbean mango salad. Other locations.
