Passengers aboard a Qatar Airways flight had a scare Tuesday when the Royal Air Force scrambled a jet to escort the plane in. The pilot had reported a possible suspicious device aboard.
One man, Josh Hartley, began live tweeting as the RAF jet flew alongside the plane and escorted it to Manchester Airport for an emergency landing.

The plane, which originated in Doha, Qatar, landed safely at Manchester and a passenger was removed by police before the rest of the plane was evacuated.

Qatar Airways confirmed there was a threat made against the plane, which was carrying 269 passengers and 13 crew members. While the airline declined to comment further, Greater Manchester Police sent out this tweet:
A man who was onboard the plane at @manairport has been arrested on suspicion of making a hoax bomb threat. — G M Police (@gmpolice)

Manchester Airport reopened after a brief closure, which included several planes getting diverted. Hartley, safe back on the ground with the rest of Qatar Airways flight 23, continued to tweet the aftermath of the scare.

Overview Edit
The Berkeley Digital Library Copyright Project aims to investigate copyright obstacles faced by libraries and other like-minded organizations in their efforts to realize the full potential of present and future digital library initiatives. The efforts are concentrated on both the obstacles themselves and the range of possible legal, technological, social, and market-based solutions to overcome them. Among other issues, it is specifically examining challenges with respect to orphan works, library privileges, digital lending, and metadata ownership. It is also examining a full range of possible solutions to some or all of these issues, including private ordering solutions, licensing, legislative reform, or the application of existing doctrines, such as the U.S. fair use provision. It intends to be responsive to new legal developments as they arise and will add other specific issues to its research agenda as needed.
Project goals include:
- Identifying and clarifying the legal issues that must be addressed for digital libraries
- Bringing together libraries and other key stakeholders to understand concerns, and
- Developing recommendations for the legal and policy changes necessary to enable digital library initiatives

One of the best ways to see Boston is from the saddle of a bicycle. The city is relatively small and flat, making it easy to ride around and see many of the sights.
You might have to contend with a few potholes and poorly marked bike lakes, but as long as you have some urban riding experience you will be fine. If you want to get off the roads, there are nearly 50 miles of car-free pathways along the waterfront from Dorchester and Quincy to Charlestown and the Waterfront.
Join a Bike Tour, or Go Your Own Way?

Do you want to ride around the city at your own pace, or would you prefer joining a tour to be shown the best sights? There are plenty of guided bike tours available in Boston, and they will take you around some of the most popular attractions, including Fenway Park, Esplanade, the Italian North End, Copley Square, Beacon Hill and more. One of the advantages of a tour is that you will be with a guide who can offer you interesting anecdotes about the city.
But what if you are an independent traveller and you want to ride through the city spontaneously without a guide? If you aren't bringing a bike with you to Boston, it's possible to rent one during your stay.
Boston has the Hubway system, a convenient short-term bike rental option around the city. You will see the Hubway bikes lined up along the streets; just make your payment before releasing a bike from the stand. If you only need a bike for an hour or so, this is the cheapest way to rent it.
However, if you'll be spending the day riding, you will save money by renting your bike from a rental shop. There are a few great ones in town, such as Back Bay Bicycles and Urban AdvenTours, which offer rentals by the hour or the day. There are more than 25 bicycle shops in Boston, so you will have plenty of choices!

Things to Know
Here are some tips for cycling in Boston:
- You will need to give a valid credit card number when you rent a bike – if the bike is damaged or stolen, your card will be charged.
- Sometimes, Boston drivers use bike lanes for turning, passing and parking, so be aware of your surroundings!
- Check out the website MassBike, which offers extensive maps showing all the bike-friendly trails and bike lanes in the city.
- If you are staying in a centrally located hotel you will be able to bike to most of the main attractions in the city.
- If you are using Hubway, download the free Spotcycle app, which shows the location of the nearest docking point, as well as telling you how many bikes and empty spaces are available at each point.
Have fun exploring Boston by bike! You'll be able to cover a lot of ground while seeing the city close up – and you will get some great exercise too.

By Laura L. Myers
SEATTLE (Reuters) - Thousands gathered in Washington state on Tuesday to honor a park ranger killed in Mt. Rainier National Park on New Year's Day by an Iraq war veteran.
Margaret Anderson, a 34-year-old mother of two, became the first Mt. Rainier park ranger slain in the line of duty when she was shot by former Army private Benjamin Colton Barnes on January 1.
Anderson had set up a roadblock to stop Barnes, 24, who had sped past a mandatory chain-up park site just hours after opening fire on a group of revelers at a New Year's Eve party in Renton, Washington.
The body of Barnes was found drowned and partially submerged in the park's Paradise Creek the next day following a manhunt by 200 federal, state and local law enforcement agents.
During the public memorial at Pacific Lutheran University near Tacoma, park service officials, attired in dress forest-green uniforms and broad-brimmed beige hats, honored Anderson and surrounded her flag-draped coffin.
U.S. Secretary of the Interior Ken Salazar told more than 3,000 people attending the 90-minute memorial service that Anderson was "a ranger who followed her heart."
National Park Service Director Jon Jarvis hailed Anderson as a hero, saying she had kept visitors safe on January 1.
That long holiday weekend had attracted more than 100 visitors, lured by mild sunny weather, to the 368-square-mile park's scenic and remote Paradise region.
Anderson is the 7th ranger slain in the line of duty since the U.S. National Park Service opened in 1916, spokesman Jeffrey Olson said.
Olson told Reuters he "could not say" whether law enforcement policies within national parks would be changed as a result of Anderson's death.
"There will be a thorough review of this incident," Olson said.
About 1.7 million visitors traveled in 2010 to the famed Mount Rainier National Park. The picturesque snow- and ice-covered Mount Rainier rises 14,410 feet above sea level.
Barnes, who apparently suffered post-traumatic stress disorder, was discharged from the Army for misconduct in November 2009 after being charged by civilian authorities with driving under the influence and improperly transporting a privately owned weapon.
He served one tour of duty in Iraq.

Aaron McGruder
Life Path Number 1
" One, I push my deadlines closer than anybody else, or let's say it this way: I'm really late."
Aaron McGruder is a Cartoonist.
He was born on Wednesday May 29th 1974, in Chicago, Illinois, USA,.
Aaron McGruder was born with extra-ordinary drive and determination. He is a born leader. Aaron insists on his right to make up his own mind; he demands freedom of thought and action, and does not let anything or anyone stand in his way once he is committed to his goal.
McGruder assumes the responsibility to be the protector and provider for those he loves. He demands respect and attention and becomes irritated and even domineering when important things do not go his way.
Aaron McGruder needs to feel in command of important undertakings, and resists supportive roles. He seeks the forefront and the limelight.
Aaron is exceptionally creative and original and possesses a touch of the unusual. His approach to problems is unique and he has the courage to wander from the beaten path. Aaron McGruder can be impatient with his shortcomings and those of others.
He is very concerned with his status and fosters the appearance of success and self-satisfaction. The need to appear well off propels Aaron to strive for growth, success and the finer things of life.
Aaron McGruder should watch out for selfishness, conceit and the over-concern with appearance. He must guard against overzealous behavior, anger and aggressiveness. If these qualities are not brought under control Aaron could become excessively domineering, vindictive and even violent. He performs best when he left to his own devices. Ideally McGruder should own his own business and be his own boss. Aaron McGruder should hold fast to his life's dream and work with the determination he possesses to realize it. Aaron can become overly stressed by his driven nature. He needs to be careful about the food he eats and maintain an exercise program he enjoys. Competition sports are often a healthy outlet for a person with McGruder's drive, particularly sports involving running and swimming. Aaron McGruder must not let pride and overconfidence be his masters. He has to remember that his talents and abilities are a gift from a higher source, which should promote gratitude and humility, rather than pride and conceit.
More often than not a person with a 1 Life Path will achieve much in life as long as the drive, creativity, originality and pioneering spirit are fully employed!

Linden Estelle turned twelve months old today. I can't believe how fast time is flying. To ensure I remember all these special moments, I am taking a "birthday" picture every month for her first 24 months, and charting her developments.
Summary of Linden's development this past month:
- Weights 20 pounds 8 oz and is 2 feet 4.5 inches tall
- Has taken her first steps.
- Has a grand total of six teeth.
- LOVES to dance!
- Has learned how to tease her older sister by pulling or poking her when she thinks we aren't watching. I don't feel bad for Ivey, since Linden actually learned this from her.
- Is still breastfeeding during the evenings and weekends.
- And, much to my regret, still is not sleeping through the night.
The Outtakes:
Teething continues.
But I don't want to sit in the chair!
She is a total monkey. I am guessing it is only a matter of weeks before she learns how to climb out of her crib.
Aren't I cute? You know you LOVE me.
Don't you just LOVE the Onesie Linden is wearing? I found them on Etsy. They are made by Watching Me Grow, a wonderful mom-owned small business. Help support them by clicking here and liking them on Facebook!

Easy to throw together if you have it all in the freezer for that last minute I don't know what to make dinner
Top Review by FruitLoop
Thanks Tish. I was looking for a recipe that was meatless, easy, and unlike anything I had tried before. This recipe met all those requirements. I added a little oregano to the sauce and a small amount of salt and pepper. Outstanding taste. Very cheesy and well pasta is my all-time fav. DH, who thinks spinach is vile, even liked it.

Elderly Woman Becomes NYCs 10th Knockout Victim
I can't even put into words what I am feeling after reading about a second 76 year old woman being attacked by thugs. I bet the perpetrator looks just like Obama's son would look like.
A 76-year-old Brooklyn woman was punched in the back of the head by a stranger in what residents fear could be the citys tenth knockout game attack.
Yvonne Small fell to the ground after being punched by her assailant on Alabama Ave. and Wortman Ave. in East New York about 11:35 a.m., according to police sources.
This is going to continue to happen until NYC citizens can carry guns to protect themselves.
The Great Divider is making sure that he and his party of division are re kindling racial hatred. Since under his administration a hate crime can not be committed against a white person attacking random whites is justified. It has even been turned into a game and will continue to escalate in violence. I believe the majority of whites are currently not bigots but this kind of behavior will start turning that around. It would not surprise me to see retaliation but that of course would be a hate crime. Race wars are started by acts like these. That may just be the whole purpose of the people that instigated these seemingly acts of random violence. Notice that the victims are mostly defenseless which shows how cowardly the predators are.
Race has nothing to do with this. However ignorance is running rampant!
We need some family or neighborhood vengeance on this crap.
umm....of course this is a racial thing.
Would this even be news if someone hadn't decided to give it a catchy name? There's a sexual assault every two minutes in the US and a robbery every minute (or less), why a few random people getting punched is headline news is beyond me. And no, of course I'm not condoning it in any way.
Old women and men should start knocking kids out. Bet it would chill this "game" right out.

Last Month at the Federal Circuit - June 2006
Judges: Mayer (dissenting), Schall, Linn (author)
In Old Town Canoe Co. v. Confluence Holdings Corp., Nos. 05-1123, -1148 (Fed. Cir. May 9, 2006), the Federal Circuit affirmed the district court's grant of JMOL of noninfringement, but vacated the district court's grant of JMOL of no invalidity based on obviousness, lack of enablement, and failure to disclose best mode. The Federal Circuit affirmed the district court's grant of JMOL of no inequitable conduct. Old Town Canoe Company ("Old Town") is the assignee of U.S. Patent No. 4,836,963 ("the '963 patent"), directed to a method of making multilayered plastic laminate boat hulls by rotational molding. The '963 patent describes a method of releasing charges of laminate into a heated mold. Each charge melts and flows together to form a cross-linked plastic layer. A successive charge is not released until the layer formed by the prior charge has reached an appropriate stage. Old Town sued Confluence Holdings Corporation ("Confluence") for infringement of the '963 patent. Confluence filed a DJ counterclaim of invalidity and unenforceability. After five days of trial, the district court granted Confluence's motion for JMOL of noninfringement. The district court then granted Old Town's motion for JMOL of no invalidity, concluding that there was not sufficient evidence to meet the clear and convincing standard to overcome the presumption of validity. The district court also granted Old Town's motion for JMOL of no unenforceability based on inequitable conduct.
On appeal, the Federal Circuit affirmed the holding of no literal infringement because the Confluence canoes did not reach the claimed optimum stage of coalescence. The Court also held that prosecution history estoppel precluded Old Town from asserting the DOE. The Court also rejected Old Town's alternative claim construction argument, holding that the district court's reference to the dictionary at the beginning of its claim construction analysis was not an improper attempt to find meaning divorced from the context of the intrinsic record, but was a starting point in its analysis, which centered on the intrinsic record. The Federal Circuit therefore held that the district court's construction of completion to coalescence was correct and excludes a process that fails to reach the claimed optimum stage. The Federal Circuit next addressed Confluence's cross-appeal of the district court's grant of Old Town's JMOL motions that the '963 patent was not invalid and not unenforceable. At oral argument, the Court asked whether it would be necessary for the Court to address the issues raised in the cross-appeal if the Court were to affirm the appeal. Apparently, Confluence's counsel stopped short of agreeing to dismiss the cross-appeal without a vacatur of the judgment with respect to the invalidity and unenforceability motion. The Federal Circuit found that the affirmance of the noninfringement issues does not moot the invalidity and unenforceability issues, and that therefore, the Court was required to address the merits of the cross-appeal, citing Cardinal Chemical Co. v. Morton International, Inc., 508 U.S. 83 (1993). The Federal Circuit held that Confluence had introduced clear and convincing evidence that the prior art references disclosed every element of the asserted claims and that there was sufficient motivation to combine, and thereby vacated the district court's grant of JMOL of no invalidity for obviousness. The Federal Circuit also held that Confluence had introduced clear and convincing evidence that persons of ordinary skill in the art would require repeated experimental attempts to practice the invention and therefore vacated the district court's grant of JMOL on the issue of enablement. The Federal Circuit also held that evidence suggests that Old Town did not disclose the details of the best mode of the invention, in particular, optimal timing periods for coalescence and a way to construct cooling doors to permit improved cooling, both of which were described in a document given to Old Town's patent lawyer but not disclosed in the specification. The Federal Circuit therefore vacated the district court's grant of JMOL on the ground of no best mode violation. On inequitable conduct, Confluence had argued that Old Town sold 500 canoes that would be material to the patentability of the '963 patent and that the Court should infer intent to deceive the PTO due to their failure to disclose this sale. Alternatively, Confluence argued that inequitable conduct could lay independently due to Old Town's failure to disclose best mode. The Federal Circuit found that there was evidence that the 500 canoes were material and also that the failure to disclose best mode may be relevant to materiality. The Court, however, found no evidence of intent to deceive the PTO, which must be separately proven. The Federal Circuit therefore affirmed the district court's grant of JMOL of no inequitable conduct. In dissent, Judge Mayer agreed with the majority's noninfringement decision, but believed there was no longer an actual controversy over the invalidity and unenforceability counterclaims to support DJ jurisdiction. According to the dissent, Confluence no longer had any reasonable apprehension of suit after the noninfringement ruling, and addressing the merits of the cross-appeal and remanding for further proceedings are wasteful and advisory. Thus, the dissent urged that the proper course was to dismiss the cross-appeal and vacate the trial court's judgment on invalidity and unenforceability.

I can admit this is how blind I was in my first relationship. I felt like Pep Le Pew. For those of you who don't know who Pep Le Pew is, he is the Skunk from the Warner Brothers cartoons that chases the cat named Penelope Pussycat.
He is passionate about love and aggressively seeks it out. Penelope Pussycat is always running away trying to avoid Pepe. He will hug her and she will push away and try to squeeze out of his grasp.
Sadly, I was so blind that I stayed in a relationship just like this for a very long time. I even began to watch some Pep Le Pew cartoons and thought it was cute. I was able to relate the cartoon to my relationship, but for some reason it didn't click in my mind that something was wrong.
We eventually broke up and then it became so clear to me. This girl did not love me like I loved her. There was a reason I was chasing and she was running. Unfortunately, it took about 3 years to figure it out.
So now I ask you,
Have you ever felt like Pep Le Pew?
Have you ever felt like Penelope Pussycat?
*typed explanations are always appreciated*
- Yes, I have felt like Pep Le PewVote A
- Yes, I have felt like Penelope PussycatVote B
- No, I have never felt like either.Vote C
Most Helpful Guy
Yes, I felt like him after a serious sauna. Thank god for body wash. :)
On a more serious note, yes, definitely early on in relationships I'd have a few Pepe Le Pew moments where I would try to shower the girl with way too much passion or try very hard to make things just perfect to the point of it being an obsession.
Eventually you learn to take it easy, to slow down, and to let things develop at a more natural pace since some of the best things in life only require a bit of nurturing and care.
As for the why, I can honestly say it was because I was afraid that it would fail or not work out if I didn't do everything right or a certain way while being oblivious to the fact that in the process it was only making things worse.10|10|0
Yeah I agree with your assessment. I have been in situations like that before. I find that I don't want to hold back the way I feel so I express myself. By doing so I guess this can scare some girls off. But why?
- Show AllShow Less
Ok so in this case I can agree. I myself need to accept that this is the way she is. Although, it does make it hard to determine her feelings for me. I mean it is one thing if someone doesn't just come out and say "I love you" all the time, but it is another thing if a person is feeling down and says "do you care? " and the person will not give a response.
Because believe it or not some of us are actually afraid of commitment!

The Dodge Avenger is an honest, straightforward sedan at a good price. In certain respects it's less sophisticated than some competitors, but it's powerful, comfortable and reasonably economical to operate. It's also quiet and pleasant to drive.
A thorough update for the 2011 model year made the Avenger much more competitive in key areas. For 2012, the Avenger model line-up has been revised, replacing super-hero sounding names with five simple alpha-numeric designations, and making prices even more attractive.
Dodge calls Avenger America's most affordable mid-size sedan, and based on current retail prices, we can't disagree. Yet the Avenger isn't just selling price. Both the base four-cylinder engine and the upgrade V6 deliver excellent power and competitive mileage ratings. We might call it a mid-size package with compact value.
Avenger has been styled as a smaller version of Dodge's hot-selling, full-size Charger. It's clean, tightly creased and not bad looking, but it doesn't stand out in any particular way, and certainly not like the Charger. Its basic visual impact is retrograde, and that could appeal to some mid-size buyers.
The Dodge Avenger cabin contributes to a relaxing, pleasant driving experience. The quality of the interior materials isn't the best in the class, but the Avenger is comfortable and the controls are intuitive and easy to use.
The Avenger SE retails for hundreds of dollars less than the next competitive mid-size sedan, and it comes well equipped. Its 2.4-liter, 173-horsepower four-cylinder is strong and smooth, with acceleration performance that's better than adequate. With the 4-speed automatic transmission, the Avenger SE is EPA-rated at 21/30 mpg City/Highway. Avenger SXT models come with more equipment and the 6-speed automatic with the four-cylinder, increasing the EPA Highway rating to 31, for mileage ratings of 20/31 mpg.
New for 2012, Avenger SE V6 upgrades with a 283-hp, 3.6-liter V6 and a 6-speed automatic. It's thousands less than other mid-size V6s, yet it's the most powerful V6 in its class. EPA ratings are 19/29 mpg.
Avenger R/T comes with the V6, a sports suspension and racy stripes and interior treatment. We might call it a contemporary muscle car. Loaded with navigation and the Boston Acoustics audio upgrade, an Avenger R/T we tested barely cracked $27,000.
The Avenger chassis is shared with the Chrysler Sebring, which was designed to be a convertible as well as a sedan, so the chassis is stiff and strong. You'll feel the tightness in both the cabin and handling. Dodge aced the suspension, and both ride quality and cornering response are excellent, benefits of that rigid chassis. The fine balance of comfort and handling contribute significantly to Avenger's appeal.
This mid-size has earned the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) Top Safety Pick award. Avenger comes standard with six airbags, electronic stability control and anti-lock brakes.

In the Outdoor Museum of the Zuiderzee Museum you will find premises that used to be located at various places round the former Zuiderzee. Across this historic setting they have set out the design route: at different locations you can see how the cultural history of the Zuiderzee has inspired designers and artists to create new insights. Using modern interpretations of traditional techniques, materials and themes, the Zuiderzee Museum underlines the value of our heritage for the present.
Examples include Richard Hutten's contemporary Zuiderzee Chair in the chapel and the wooden shoes by Victor & Rolf in the farmhouse on the city canal. In addition there are a number of new presentations this year, for example the Weathering Blue project of Aliki van der Kruijs in the fishermen's quarter. On show till the 29th of October 2017.

Coming up, exhibition in Zuiderzeemuseum in the context of the 10 years anniversary of the label Thomas Eyck. Exhibition 10 years of Thomas Eyck curated by Jules van den Langenberg is open from 23 December 2016 – 14 May 2017. To mark this tin jubilee momentum ten product series were selected from the Thomas Eyck's collection, which are exemplary for the collaborations the publisher & distributor has developed with designers and producers since 2007. Accordingly, ten young designers, artists and architects were invited to create a project in which the iconic t.e. objects are studied and recontextualised. The exhibition reviews the past decade and forecasts a potential future for the t.e. collection. Installation 8/10 by Aliki van der Kruijs is a reflection on the 'Colour, based on nature' series developed by book designer Irma Boom and producer Eijffinger for the t.e. collection in 2012.

"0730 appointment delayed by 4 hours"
About: Tewkesbury Hospital Tewkesbury Hospital GL20 5QN
Posted by MT
Why are all outpatients requested to arrive at 0730, half an hour before the staff arrive, only then to be told they'll be here until 1300, when we all have very minor 10 minute operations? Can't everyone be given a separate slot for surgery. It smacks of inefficiency and poor planning. Surprising given this is a new facility.
Response from Tewkesbury Hospital 3 years ago
Many thanks for taking the time to share this feedback and I apologise for the delay in replying. We were surprised to learn that you had been requested to arrive at 7.30am as the usual time is 8.00am for outpatient surgery – our matron is following this up with the team to make sure that correct information is being sent out, and we apologise that you were asked to arrive at this time. The reason patients are asked to arrive early for outpatient surgery is to allow the surgical team to work as efficiently and safely as possible when surgery gets under way. Before seeing any patients, the surgeon, anaesthetist and theatre nursing staff will meet as a team to review the entire list for that session – with the certainty that patients are in the waiting area and ready for their surgery. The team will go through the clinical needs and any issues for each person and agree the order in which patients are brought in to theatre. It means that when surgery starts for that day – and clinical staff are then occupied doing their different roles and caring for individual patients – the team has met together and is prepared in advance for all those coming into surgery during the morning. Although it can seem a long time for people to wait for their minor surgery, it means that the theatre can be run effectively and safely, and the clinical team is well-briefed on their patients' needs. I hope that is helpful information. Thank you again for sharing your feedback. Best wishes The team at Gloucestershire Care Services NHS Trust

b. it's the most revealing.21|11|1
Well hey there captain obvious. :) Nice to meet you lol. Thanks for your opinion.
you asked for opinions and I explained why I selected that one. duh.
maybe girls to dumb to know how to dress themselves shouldn't ask for other peoples opinions if they're going to be a smart ass when they get an answer. I suggest saving the money for a nose job instead.
Merp. You stated the obvious. & I simply joked and thanked you for your opinion (genuinely). Slow your roll there.
& Have a nice day.

Metasploit has long supported a mixture of staged and stageless payloads within its toolset. The mixture of payloads gives penetration testers a huge collection of options to choose from when performing exploitation. However, one option has been missing from this collection, and that is the notion of a stageless Meterpreter payload. In this post, I'd like to explain what this means, why you should care, and show how the latest update to Metasploit and Meterpreter provides this funky new feature as portended by Tod's last Wrapup post.
What is a staged payload?
A staged payload is simply a payload that is as compact as possible and performs the single task of providing the means for an attacker to upload something bigger. Staged payloads are often used in exploit scenarios due to the fact that binary exploitation often results in very little space for shellcode to be stored.
The initial shellcode (often referred to as stage0) may create a new connection back to the attacker's machine and read a larger payload into memory. Once the payload has been received, stage0 passes control to the new, larger payload.
In Metasploit terms, this payload is called reverse_tcp, and the second stage (stage1) might be a standard command shell, or it might be something more complex, such as a Meterpreter shell or a VNC session. There are other staged options such as reverse_https and bind_tcp, both of which provide different transport options for opening the doorway for the second stage.
Exploitation (recap) with staged Meterpreter
Staged Meterpreter is Meterpreter as we currently know it. Every time we set PAYLOAD windows/meterpreter/… we are asking Metasploit to prepare a payload that is broken into two stages, the second of which gives us a Meterpreter session. For the benefit of those who aren't familiar with the process of exploitation with staged payloads, let's take a look at what goes on when we use this payload to exploit a Windows machine using ms08_067_netapi (feel free to skip this part if you know it already).
The following image is a representation of two machines, an attacker and a target. The former is running Metasploit with the ms08_067_netapi exploit configured to use a staged Meterpreter payload that has stage0 set to reverse_tcp using port 4444. The latter is an instance of Windows running a vulnerable implementation of SMB listening on port 445.
When the payload is executed, Metasploit creates a listener on the correct port, and then establishes a connection to the target SMB service. Behind the scenes, when the target SMB service receives the connection, a function is invoked which contains a stack buffer that the attacking machine will overflow.
The attacking machine then sends data that is bigger than the target expects. This data, which contains stage0 and a small bit of exploit-specific code, overflows the target buff. The exploit-specific code allows for the attacker to gain control over EIP and redirect process execution to the stage0 shellcode.
At this point, the attacker has control of execution within the SMB service, but doesn't really have the ability to do much else with it due to the size constraint. When stage0 (reverse_tcp) executes, it connects back to the attacker on the required port, which is ready and waiting with stage1. In the case of Meterpreter, stage1 is a DLL called metsrv.
The metsrv DLL is then sent to the target machine through this reverse connection. This is what is happening when we see the "Sending stage .." message in msfconsole.
The 769356 bytes that is shown in the above image represents the entire metsrv DLL (bear in mind this is an older version of metsrv, and hence it's a bit smaller in this image than it is these days). Once this has been pushed to the target machine, the stage0 shellcode writes this into memory.
Once stage1 is in memory, stage0 passes control to it by simply jumping to the location where the payload was written to. In the case of metsrv, the first 60(ish) bytes is a clever collection of shellcode that also looks similar to a valid DOS header. This shellcode, when executed, uses Reflective DLL Injection to remap and load metsrv into memory in such a way that allows it to function correctly as a normal DLL without writing it to disk or registering it with the host process. It then invokes DllMain() on this loaded DLL, and the Meterpreter that we know and love takes over.
From here, MSF pushes up two Meterpreter extension DLLs: stdapi and priv. Both of these are also reflectively loaded in the same way the original metsrv DLL was. At this point, Meterpreter is now ready and willing to take your commands.
What's wrong with staged Meterpreter?
Staged Meterpreter, in scenarios like that shown above, is a wonderful thing and works very well. However, the are other scenarios for compromise where this approach is less than ideal.
In case you didn't notice, in order to get a Meterpreter session running in the example scenario we uploaded the following:
- stage0: large buffer of junk plus approximately 350b of shellcode.
- stage1: metsrv DLL approximately 755kb.
- stage2: stdapi DLL approximately 370kb.
- stage3: priv DLL approximately 115kb.
This weighs in at a grand total of approximately 1,240kb! Not a small amount, particularly for those who aren't on the local network.
The most common example of where this falls down is the case where penetration testers are in a low-bandwidth or high-latency environments and have pre-generated a stageled Meterpreter binary that is then hosted outside of the attacker's machine. Assessment targets download and invoke this binary, which results in the attacker gaining a Meterpreter shell on the target machine.
The data or time cost of uploading metsrv, stdapi and priv for every single shell becomes unwieldy or outright impossible, even for a small number of shells. For large-scale compromise, via approaches such as GPO updates or SCCM packages, handling the volume of incoming connections at once can be bad enough; add the three DLL uploads to this mix and you have a recipe for lost shells and sadness. Nobody likes losing shells. Nobody likes sadness.
It's hard to believe it possible, but in this case the following image could be considered a nightmare.
In such a scenario, it would be better to have the ability to create a stage0 which includes metsrv and any number of Meterpreter extensions. This means that the payload already includes the important part of the Meterpreter functionality, along with all the features that the attacker might require. When invoked, the Meterpreter instance already has all it needs to function, and hence Metasploit doesn't need to waste time or bandwidth performing the usual uploads that are required with the staged approach.
Stageless Meterpreter is exactly that. It is a binary that includes all of the required parts of Meterpreter, along with any required extensions, all bundled into one.
What does stageless Meterpreter look like?
As with the staged version, stageless Meterpreter payloads begin with a small bootstrapper. However, this bootstrapper looks very different. Staged Meterpreter payload bootstrappers contain shellcode that performs network communications in order to read in the second stage prior to invoking it. The stageless counterparts don't have this responsibility, as it is instead handled by metsrv itself. As a result, what we know as stage0 completely disappears.
Instead, that which is known as stage1 in staged Meterpreter land becomes the bootstrapper for the payload in stageless Meterpreter land. To make this clear, let's take a look at the process.
When creating the payload, Metasploit first reads a copy of the metsrv DLL into memory. It then overwrites the DLL's DOS header with a selection of shellcode that does the following:
- Performs a simple GetPC routine.
- Calculates the location of the ReflectiveLoader() function in metsrv.
- Invokes the ReflectiveLoader() function in metsrv.
- Calculates the location in memory which indicates the start of the list of pre-loaded extensions. This value is simply the location that immediately follows the end of metsrv.
- Invokes DllMain() on metsrv, passing in DLL_METASPLOIT_ATTACH along with the pointer to the extensions list. This is where metsrv takes over.
- When metsrv exits, the bootstrapper then calls DllMain() again with DLL_METASPLOIT_DETACH along with the selected EXITFUNC identifier. This is where metsrv exits using the appropriate method depending on what was chosen.
With this shellcode stub wired into the DOS header, Metasploit adds the entire binary blob to an in-memory payload buffer, and then iterates through the list of chosen extensions. For each extension that is specified, Metasploit does the following:
- Loads the extension DLL into memory.
- Calculates the size of the DLL.
- Writes the size of the DLL as a 32-bit value to the end of payload buffer.
- Writes the entire body of the DLL, as-is, to the end of the payload buffer.
Once the end of the list of extensions is reached, the last thing that is written to the payload buffer is a 32-bit representation of 0 (NULL) which indicates that the list of extensions has been terminated. This NULL value is what metsrv will look for when iterating through the list of extensions so that it knows when to stop.
The final payload layout looks like the following:
This payload can be embedded in an exe file, encoded, thrown into an exploit (assuming there's room!), and who knows what else! The important thing is that we now have all of the bits that we need in the one payload.
How do I use stageless Meterpreter?
Firstly, it has a different name! It follows the same convention as all of the other staged vs stageless payloads:
|Reverse TCP
|Reverse HTTPS
|Bind TCP
|Reverse TCP IPv6
To create a payload using one of these babies, you use msfvenom just like you would any other payload. However, we haven't yet updated the built-in templates to support the size that's required (don't worry, it's coming soon). This just means that, for now, you have to provide your own template which has a .text section big enough.
To make a stageless payload that contains only metsrv we do the following:
Here we're making use of the Immunity Debugger program binary because it has a large enough .text section.
To add extensions to the payload, we can make use of the EXTENSIONS parameter, which takes a comma-separated list of extension names.
With a payload created, we can set up a listener which will handle the connection using msfconsole.
You'll notice that the EXTENSIONS parameter isn't set in the handler. This is because the handler isn't responsible for them as they're already in the payload binary.
Also note the lack of the "Sending stage …" message! This shows that the upload of stage1 didn't happen as it's not needed. If the payload that was invoked also contained stdapi and priv, then absolutely no uploads have occurred at this point.
Congratulations, you're dancing with stageless Meterpreter!
We're still in the process of finalising the Metasploit-side of how the pre-loaded extensions are managed. At this point, all of the pre-loaded extensions have been loaded into Meterpreter and are available for use. However, Metasploit is yet to know about them. To initiate client-site wiring of any of the pre-loaded extensions, the user can just type use <extension> just like they used to. Metasploit will check to see if the extension already exists in the target instance, and if it does, it will skip the extension upload and just wire-up the functions on the client side. If the extension is missing, then it will upload it and wire-up the functions on the fly just like it always has done.
If you're working with meterpreter_reverse_https, you'll notice that when new shells come in they appear just like an orphaned instance. This is expected behaviour, because a stageless session can't and won't look any different to an old session that hasn't been in touch with Metasploit for a while.
But wait, there's more!
While working on this the Rapid7 team also worked on adding support for "authenticated sessions". The first part of this was the work of the indomitable HD Moore. HD worked from Borja Merino's port of the existing WinInet stagers to WinHTTP, and added a small bit of shellcode to the stager that actually validates the SSL certificate hash when communicating with Metasploit. If the hash doesn't match "Ken sent me" an expected value, the stager simply refuses to continue talking. This is a user-configurable option, so if you don't want validation, you don't have to have it.
This was awesome work and made it a super easy job to do the same thing in Meterpreter. Off the back of efforts from HD and Borja, we did the exact same thing to Meterpreter. It now talks HTTP(S) via the WinHTTP API and performs the same validation check (if configured) each time it talks to Metasploit.
This apparently small but very powerful feature is a huge win for those working with sensitive clients who would like to make sure that shells only work when talking to authorised parties.
Closing remarks
It's early days for stageless Meterpreter payloads, and we have plenty left to do (eg. x64 bit support, which is coming very soon). But I'm excited about the steps we've taken so far. These changes will help in a number of situations that our users have been suffering under and we hope you all see and enjoy the benefits.
I'd like to give a big thanks to HD here for doing the hard yards, in ASM no less, and making the SSL verification work in Meterpreter work so easy, as well as just being super supportive and helpful in general. Also I have a big hat-tip to Brent Cook who's been a huge help with the Meterpreter work and the cleaning up of my trail of mess. Thanks again to Borja for his efforts with the initial WinHTTP stager work.
Be sure to what this space for future news and improvements. Comments and feedback are welcome.

Subunits of the cytochrome b6f complex from plants and cyanobacteria: Towards a model of the cytochrome b6f complex

The cytochrome b6f complex is the central electron transfer complex of oxygenic photosynthesis. It is analogous to the cytochrome bc1 complex of respiration. The soluble fragments of two subunits of the cytochrome b6f complex were crystallized, and the structures of these subunits were obtained. The structure of one of these subunits, the high-potential Rieske protein was compared with the Rieske protein found in the cytochrome bc 1 complex. The comparison of these two structures showed that the structures of the cluster-binding domains of the b6f and bc1 Rieske proteins were virtually identical, while the large domain structures were divergent. The structures of cytochrome f from the cyanobacterium Phormidium laminosum and from the green alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii were compared with cytochrome f from turnip. The turnip cytochrome f structure was also re-refined in both the reduced and oxidized states. Cytochrome f from Cyanobacteria, from higher plants and from green algae have one common surface with a conserved neutral electrostatic profile. It is suggested that this conserved surface should contact lumen-side loops of the membrane-spanning cytochrome b6 and subunit IV, which are homologous to the N-terminal and C-terminal regions of cytochrome b, respectively. A hypothetical model of a b6f complex was constructed, using the membrane-spanning subunits of the bc1 complex as a model for cytochrome b6 and subunit IV and the b6f Rieske protein substituted for the bc1 Rieske protein. Cytochrome f was placed in accordance with an electron density map obtained from electron diffraction studies and an angle of 30° between the heme group and the membrane obtained from EPR studies. Finally, the conserved neutral surface was placed against the membrane-spanning subunits. Possible hypotheses regarding the origins of the large subunits of the b6f and bc1 complexes are also discussed. ^

I got back into skateboarding a year ago but I've always prefered/worn skateboard shoes and pants.
I always get deals at the shop because I know all the guys there, and I have been offered to helpout with a few things around the shop for discount prices.
There's a wide variety of styles within brands or in other brands, but I'm curious how noticable is the clothing and is it a turn off to see someone in there mid twenties wearing this type of clothing?
- although I do pick out the more mature looking clothing and I usually wear none skate brand t-shirts, jacket/tops. BUT because I'm going to have a greater discount I'll probably end up with skate brand shirts and other things.
- It can be cool and youthful when done rightVote A
- It's okay but nothing moreVote B
- It's too childish and it gives off the wrong impressionVote C
Guys can not vote on this poll

It's very cool. Although I've always had a soft spot for skater boys. xD Rock it dude, I'm sure you'll find a girl who likes it.10|10|0

Standard And Poor's
August 6, 2011 by USA Post
Standard And Poor's, Standard & Poors said Friday it downgraded the credit rating of the United States for the first time, giving a symbolic blow to the world's economic superpower in what was a strongly worded criticism of the American political system.
The downgrade of the country one notch below Triple A credit rating company, said "brinkmanship" in the debate on the debt had the ability of U.S. government to manage their finances' less stable, less efficient and less predictable. " He said the bipartisan agreement reached this week to find at least and 2.1 billion in savings in the budget was reduced below what is necessary to dominate the nation's debt over time and predicted that leaders are not likely achieve greater savings in the future.
"Whenever possible the rating will come back, but I think it will return in the short term," said David Beers, head of the S & P sovereign rating unit of debt.
The decision came after an afternoon of heated debate between the Obama and S & P. Administration officials said the S & Panlysis of the possibility of a political agreement was flawed and that the initial report contained mathematical errors – the company had overstated the U.S. deficit more than 10 years and 2 billion dollars.
"A trial flawed by an error, and 2000000000000 speaks for itself," a Treasury spokeswoman said on Friday.
Uncharted territory
The reduction of double-A-plus will drive global financial markets in uncharted territory after a volatile week driven by concerns about a worsening debt crisis in Europe and a weak economy in the United States.
The triple-A rating has made the U.S. Treasury bonds one of the world's safest investment – and has helped the nation to borrow extraordinarily cheap rates to fund their government operations, including two wars and an expensive network of social security for retirees.
Treasury bonds have also been an island of stability amid the economic crisis of recent years. The country has a rating of AAA for 70 years.
Analysts say that, over time, the reduction could increase borrowing costs for the U.S. government, costing tens of billions of taxpayer dollars a year. That could also increase interest rates for consumers and businesses seeking mortgages, credit cards and commercial loans.
The reduction may also have a cascading effect on states and localities. These governments could lose their triple A credit ratings and possibly raising the cost of borrowing for schools, roads and parks.
But the exact impact of the rebate will not be known until at least Sunday evening when Asian markets open, and may not be fully understood for months. Analysts said the initial impact in the markets may be modest, as they have been anticipating a cut S & P for weeks.
And even without a triple-A rating from S & P, the U.S. debt is seen as one of the world's safest investments. Investors clearly were not scared away from this week. While stocks plummeted, investors were buying Treasuries and increasing their prices.
The rating action immediately fed partisan discussion Friday night. Allies of President Obama said he stressed his call for a "grand bargain" to cut and 4 trillion federal budget that includes a combination of tax revenue and spending cuts.
Republicans criticized Obama's handling of the economy. "Standard & Poor's downgrade is a worrying indicator of deterioration of our country under President Obama," said Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney.
S & P has angered government officials with aggressive warnings in recent months of a potential downgrade. These warnings so far have not taken public debt markets.
Moreover, two other major credit rating companies, Moody's Investors Service and Fitch Ratings, have said that preserving the nation's triple-A rating for now.
S & P downgrade was both a critical financial policy as a conclusion. It is based on a view that American political leaders could not reach at least $ 4 billion and savings, which is needed to reduce the nation's debt to a manageable level in the next decade.
The debt deal approved by Congress this week proposed spending cuts in two phases. Democrats and Republicans agreed the first round, worth nearly 1 trillion y. However, a congressional commission to decide the rest and 1.2 billion dollars and 1.5 billion, and P & S asked if it would ever happen.
Indictment of paralysis
S & P said it expects higher revenues from the Bush tax cuts will continue, despite Obama vows to end disruption of next year.
"Most Republicans in Congress continue to resist any measures that would increase revenues," the company said.
S & P cuts served as an indictment of the paralysis which has sent the nation to the brink of defaulting on their debt obligations. It also draws attention, in part because it reflects the tremendous power of a small group of financialanlysts employed by a company in New York, part of McGraw-Hill. In Europe, political leaders have pointed to the credit rating agencies cut the ratings when governments struggling with debt.
The company said the U.S. position "financial diverged from that of other triple-A countries, including Canada, France, Germany and Britain.
Countries with a rating of double A + including New Zealand and Belgium. Among the countries rated double-A, one notch lower, are Bermuda, Spain and Qatar.

About Me
Let me introduce myself i'm Warped figurine.
I'm 20 and have little experience in the modelling industry.
I attend college majoring in Fashion mechandising & marketing my subjects of passion.
I think of myself as a subject not a model, i perfer to be called a subject, i think to model one must have a essense about themself. Somenthing unique and special that no other model should have or ever acquire.
So I just want to propose that i would want to be a photographers subject or a a piece of a photographers subject.
I would love to do more paid shots, but if the photographers work is absoloutly wonder i wouldn't mind doing more TFP/CD shoots also.

They indeed are currently using a stripped-down (single step) version of the "LegendreGaussIntegrator". Their problem is mainly an efficiency one because for their use-case, they know in advance that a single iteration is enough. So, your proposal is quite fine (i.e. focus only on Gauss-like integrators and make them more flexible). Thanks! > Single step integrators > ----------------------- > > Key: MATH-797 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MATH-797 > Project: Commons Math > Issue Type: Wish > Affects Versions: 3.0 > Reporter: Gilles > Assignee: Gilles > Priority: Trivial > Fix For: 3.1 > > > CM assumes that the user wants to integrate a complex function on a large interval, so the large interval has to be subdivided into many subintervals. CM does the partition, and performs convergence checks, using an iterative approach. > However, if the function is smooth enough, no subdivision of the integration interval is required.

British sports-car maker BAC becomes the first company to use graphene composites for the construction of a car.
The material will be initially used on the Mono's rear wheel arches. BAC decided to first use the new material on the rear wheel arches due to the complexity of the panel.
For starters, Graphene is a composite created out of sheets of carbon, which are just one atom thick, and it can reduce the weight up to 20 percent while being 200 times stronger than steel.
The 2016 model Mono comes with an all-new four-cylinder 2.5-litre Mountune engine, which can produce 305bhp. The single seater is capable of sprinting from 0-100km/h in just 2.8 seconds.
The new BAC Mono with the graphene panels was showcased for the first time at the Science in the City festival in Manchester, UK.

Can we Keep Andruw?
article recently talking about just this.That is the question that is in the back of all of our minds heading into this season. I for one can't imagine and don't want to imagine Andruw wearing anything other than a tomahawk across his chest. This Curacao native broke into the majors and has been a staple in center with his dazzling play for the past 11 (yes, it has been 11) seasons. We all know the story of how he negotiated a deal after the 2001 season with his father instead of agent, Scott Boras. That was a below-market deal that he claims will not happen again. SI.com had an
In an interview Tuesday with SI.com, Jones talked glowingly about being a Brave and spoke longingly about wanting to be one of those few players who never leaves his first team. Rather hopefully, he said he didn't know what Braves ownership will do about his contract situation. But he should know this: They won't come anywhere near Jones' "market value," which is what all free agents think about. "I would love to stay with the Atlanta Braves. But everyone knows how the market is out there, and everyone is trying to get market value. So why shouldn't I get market value?" Jones told SI.com. "I'm looking for a contract that will keep me here. And if it doesn't happen, someone else will give me the money."That means John Schuerholz is going to have to come up with some major money to offer him the $17-20 million a year he and Boras will probably ask for. The thing is that there are plenty of options to get that money, it is just whether Schuerholz feels that Andruw would be a better investment than two very good players he could get with the same amount of money. Basically, Schuerholz will need to come up with the $3.5-5.5 million to make up the difference between the $13.5 million he is making in his final year and the kind of money he is looking for. There are a couple option as to where that money comes from. If I had to bet, I'd say this is Tim Hudson's last season in Atlanta. This is the last year before his contract jumps from $4 million all the way to $13 million for the next two years. If he is the same Hudson as last year, it will be a salary dump; if it is the good Hudson, then we pick up some good prospects. I woul absolutely love to move Hampton and his ridiculous salary, but there isn't much of a market for a pitcher who has just come off Tommy John surgery and is making that much. I think one of the most probable scenarios is that the Braves don't re-sign Wickman at the end of the season. We have two even more dominant relievers and a†too many young guys waiting for a shot in the bigs to warrant dishing out $6.5 million for a reliever. We don't really know how the pending sale to Liberty Media is going to affect the Braves payroll. While the CEO made a comment about his goal for the Braves being to beat the Mets at a stockholder meeting, the Braves were still a piece seemingly included to get rid of the Taxes. If they could give Schuerholz at least a bit of breathing room until after 2008, then Jones will be a Braves. After 2008, Hampton (don't think they'll be picking up his $20 million option),† Renteria, and Chipper Jones all have expiring contracts. The only buyout we have is $6 million for Hampton with the Red Sox picking up Renteria's $3 million buyout. Renteria will probably be gone with the middle infield depth in the organization, Hampton will be gone, and I think Chipper will take a significant pay cut if his injuries continue. That leaves us with at least an extra $23 million (how nice that will be). It is just a question of whether Liberty will allow Schuerholz to tack on another $4 million until then. Right the Braves are paying a bit more than $80 million without the money that Boston is paying towards Renteria, so if they just hike the total up to $85 million that might work. Most people's bet is that Andruw doesn't return to Atlanta next season with the Dodgers, Angels, and Rangers as the most mentioned suitors for his services. Schuerholz might have to choose betwee Smoltz and Jones at the end of season, and Smoltz is the more valuable commodity to this team. I am one of the few who thinks we will re-sign Andruw; just a gut feeling.
