TR-069 NewNTPServer Exploits: What we know so far
by Johannes Ullrich (Version: 1)
[This is a "cleaned up" version to summarize yesterday's diary about the attacks against DSL Routers]
What is "TR-069"
TR-069 (or its earlier version TR-064) is a standard published by the Broadband Forum. The Broadband Forum is an industry organization defining standards used to manage broadband networks. It focuses heavily on DSL type modems and more recently included fiber optic connections. "TR" stands for "Technical Report". TR-069 is considered the Broadband Forum's "Flagship Standard". [1] Many ISPs and device manufacturers are members of the broadband forum.
TR-069 allows ISPs to manage modems remotely. Port 7547 has been assigned to this protocol. Some devices appear to use port 5555 instead. I haven't found a standard defining port 5555 for this use, but it may be an older version. The standard suggests the use of TLS 1.2 but doesn't require it, and TLS would not have made a difference in this case. Authentication can happen via certificates, or
TR-069 messages are encoded using SOAP. These SOAP requests include a message that is then parsed by the modem (CPE, "Consumer Premise Equipment). The standard defines a large range of required and optional features. For example, the modem can be rebooted, or reset to factory condition. A TR-069 message can also be used to get and set configuration parameters. Some of these parameters and the detail of the data model are defined in later technical reports. For example, TR-098 defined the NTP server feature abused in the exploit attempts we have seen.
A typical (non exploit) request to set an NTP Server would look like: (click on images for full size versions)
The response the modem would return will be:
The Vulnerability & Exploit
On November 7th, 2016, "kenzo2017" posted a blog post showing how the TR-064 "NewNTPServer" feature can be used to execute arbitrary commands. The blog post mentioned only the D1000 modem used by Irish ISP Eir as vulnerable [2]. As a proof of concept, the blog post included a Metasploit module to execute commands, and to retrieve the modems WiFi password. This particular modem is a rebranded modem manufactured by Zyxel. Other Eir modems (e.g. P-60HN-T1A_IPv6) were found to be vulnerable as well. There is no mention of Eir being notified of this issue. I also can't find a CVE number for this vulnerability.
This isn't the first time TR-069 implementations were found to be vulnerable. Over the last couple of years, a number of different issues were discovered, most notably a "Misfortune Cookie" bug (CVE-2014-9222).
Deutsche Telekom Outage
On Sunday, November 27th, 2016, a large number of Deutsche Telekom customers reported connectivity problems. These issues were later traced to attacks against a particular type of modem. Deutsche Telekom uses the brand name "Speedport" for its modems, but the modems themselves are manufactured by different companies. Deutsche Telekom lists the Speedport W 921 V, 723V Typ B, and 921 Fiber as affected. All of these modems are made by Taiwanese company Acadyan, which does not appear to be connected to Zyxel, the maker of the vulnerable Eir modem. [3] Comsecuris ran tests on one of the modems and found it not vulnerable, but they did point out that the modem will become slow and "hang" even under moderate load, so it is possible that the connections Mirai sent to the modem caused it to hang, not the exploit itself. [4]
Deutsche Telekom rolled out a firmware update to fix the vulnerability exploited by the attack. There has been no official statement from Deutsche Telekom confirming that the TR-069 attack was used to crash the modem. However, Deutsche Telekom did state that an "coding error" in the exploit caused the modems to crash instead of run the exploit code.
Increase in Scans for Port 7547
Around the time the outage in Germany, we did notice a substantial increase in the number of attacks against port 7547. Later, a similar increase was noted on %%port:5555%.
Honeypots confirmed that these scans are attempting to exploit the TR-069 NewNTPServer vulnerability (line breaks and color added for readability)
The command executed will download additional malware from "tr069.pw" and execute it. We found a number of different URLs being used. The file name varies from 1 through 7, but 1 and 2 are the most common once seen. There is also an "x.sh" script, but it usually doesn't exist on the web server.
Here are some of the URLs seen in our honeypots, as well as URLs observed by our readers:
http://5.8.65.5/1
http://l.ocalhost.host/1
http://l.ocalhost.host/x.sh
http://p.ocalhost.host/x.sh
http://timeserver.host/1
http://ntp.timerserver.host/1
http://tr069.pw/1
http://srrys.pw/2 (resolves to 5.188.232.152 right now. the other host names appear dead right now)
The different binaries (1-7) are essentially the same code, but compiled for different architectures. This may indicate that the same exploit is attempted against a wide range of vulnerable devices:
1: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, MIPS, MIPS-I version 1 (SYSV), statically linked, stripped
3: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, ARM, version 1, statically linked, stripped
4: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Renesas SH, version 1 (SYSV), statically linked, stripped
5: ELF 32-bit MSB executable, PowerPC or cisco 4500, version 1 (SYSV), statically linked, stripped
6: ELF 32-bit MSB executable, SPARC version 1 (SYSV), statically linked, stripped
7: ELF 32-bit MSB executable, Motorola 68020 - invalid byte order, version 1 (SYSV), statically linked, stripped
Hashes observed (they vary based on the URL used to spread the code):

Based on a simple "strings" analysis, the code downloaded is the spreader looking for additional vulnerable systems. This code appears to be derived from the "Mirai" botnet. While earlier versions of Mirai used well know default or weak passwords, this version now added the TR-069 NetNTPServer exploit to its repertoire. The command and control servers resolve to a 6.0.0.0/8 IP address at this point which does not appear to be operations. It is assumed that this is used to "park" the botnet.
As a consumer, if you suspect that your modem is vulnerable or worse, exploited: Reboot your modem and check on firmware updates. For some ISPs, like Deutsche Telekom, firmware updates are avaialbe. But you will typically receive the firmware from your ISP, not the modem's manufacturer. ISPs customize firmware, like for example by enabling TR-069, and a "default" manufacturer provided firmware may not work for you.
ISPs should (and typically will) restrict access to port 7547 and port 5555 if it is used for remote configuration. Modem should only accept connections from specific configuration servers. TR-069 implementations had vulnerabilities in the past, and it is very likely that additional issues will be found in the future. Restricting access to the port is necessary to protect the modem from exploits against unpatched vulnerabilities.
How Many Modems Are Vulnerable?
The number of devices listening on port 7547 is as larger as 40 Million according to counts performed with Shodan. But not all these modems may run vulnerable implementations, and some may only accept commends from specific servers. It is difficult to say which modems are vulnerable and which once are safe. My personal "best guess" is that this vulnerability may have added 1-2 Million new bots to the Mirai botnet. We do have about 600,000 source IPs scanning for this vulnerability in our database. But many of them may have been infected by Mirai via weak passwords. For a small number of sources that responded on Port 443, we connected and retrieved TLS certificates. The overwhelming portion of certificates where issues by Zyxel, indicating that it is infected Zyxel devices that are participating in the scanning.
Some tests done by Darren Martyn show that modems used by UK ISP TalkTalk, D-Link DSL 3780 modems, modems made by MitraStar, Digicom and Aztech are all vulnerable. He states that he found 48 different vulnerable devices [5]
The attack so far doesn't appear to be targeting a particular geographic area or a particular ISP.
At this point, the newly infected systems are just used to scan for more victims. But it is probably just a matter of time until they are used for DDoS attacks.

This has been covered as far back as August 14th, 2014.

Over two years since serious, credible concerns were raised and nobody cared enough to fix it in all that time? That's some serious negligence there.
When feeding the download URLs to Virustotal, the URLs look harmless. Queried via Virustotal the sites seem to return 404 for the files in question.
Thank you very much for the informative summary!
One question though...
You wrote that "ISPs should (and typically will) restrict access to port 7547 and port 5555 if it is used for remote configuration".
Does that mean that for whatever reason the affected Telekom routers/customers had not such restrictions in place?
Good round up of the issues.
One thing worth correcting is that the exposed protocol is TR-064, not TR-069. TR-069 is only meant to connect from the router to an ISP's server, and doesn't accept settings by POST requests. TR-064 does accept settings via a POST request.
TR-064 isn't an earlier version of TR-069, it's a different protocol.
TR-064 is "LAN-Side DSL CPE Configuration" i.e. it is never supposed to be exposed to the WAN. The spec says it must always have authentication, so a number of failures here.
Just to be accurate:
TR-064 isn't the ancestor of TR-069: it was designed to allow *LAN-side management* whereas TR-069 is for the WAN side. (By the way, it's now deprecated in favor of UPnP DM.)
For a device to expose TR-064 on the WAN side is clearly a bad idea.
A very interesting and thorough article! The second paragraph appears to be truncated, though:
[quote]Authentication can happen via certificates, or [/quote]
if we shut port 7547,we can neutralised the effect and services will be up but the ISP side management goes off.
Interesting article. And just thé article i was looking for.
We happen to use a ftp server in which we a few years ago (don't ask me why) choose 5555 for the port.
I saw a large increase of traffic and login's to NTP services on that particular FTP server. It has no use whatsoever; but the increase in traffic was substantial.
I didn't know older NTP services uses 5555 for the port. We changed the port settings and the logins/attacks stopped immediately
So a big thank you!
Seems most of the domains actually host all 8 of the files.
Todays:
hxxp://srrys.pw/1
hxxp://srrys.pw/x.sh
Remarkably is that x.sh still refers to l.ocalhost.host, which doesn't resolve anymore. wget of '1' and '2' is by far the most common seen on our infrastructure, while '3' also starts using port 5555 (https://detux.org/report.php?sha256=1fce697993690d41f75e0e6ed522df49d73a038f7e02733ec239c835579c40bf)
I have a Zyxel AMG1312-T10B router with firmware V2.00(AAFP.6)C0
TR-069 protocol is disabled on my router (like Upnp, WPS etc.) but after finding this article I ran a scan with Nmap on port 7547 and with great surprise it was found open even though the firewall was active !
How to identify if a router was compromised with this exploit? There is some particular check to make on the router file system accessible via ssh ?
- A comparison of the current config file with an old one revealed no changes in the configuration file itself.
- A firewall rule to block port 7547 access from the wan has no effect on my router.
- The only effective way to disable TR-069 was to set the port to 0 on my router admin.

DATA TRUTH: he Entire Government Health Apparatus Colluded With Big Pharma To Experiment On Americans
Ava GarciaApril 10, 2022
"The biggest story of the 21st century"
Despite the fact that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has been adamant about adhering to COVID-19's established standards, the media has also assisted push COVID-19 on the general public.
From mask mandates to lockdowns, the media continuously encouraged more government overreach in the name of public safety. But even with Joe Biden being in the White House, the coronavirus still wages on with the FDA approving yet another jab for the elderly.
While news outlets might not shy away from the pandemic, according to Dr. Naomi Wolf, the media isn't reporting on the data showing the dangers of the COVID-19 drug.
In the video, which can be watched below, Dr. Wolf spoke with Steve Bannon, admitting, "Well, first of all, you're right. All of these other news outlets should be reporting the biggest story of the 21st century. And so I just want to issue an invitation to the New York Times and the Washington Post, and to the Atlantic, to come look at our data. I'm pretty sure they're not going to do that because they took pharma money and government money to be part of the Vaccine Competence Program and didn't disclose it. I can only speculate about why so many respected, credentialed people let this appalling violence against our children and the bodies of our people unfold in this massive crime. But there will be hundreds of insiders, hundreds of people at the FDA, hundreds of people at the CDC, it will be the head of the CDC. It's not just Pfizer, it's our whole government."
The doctor added, "So I don't know the answer yet. But I do know that many, many doctors and nurses said because of government policies, and because of ama policies and other licensing board policies, I can't say anything or I'll lose my job. So we know and I've seen those documents. I've seen the internal documents, going from the licensing boards to doctors saying you'll be disbarred for misinformation. So people knew they had to toe this line or they would lose their jobs. I still think there's a lot of cowards out there who failed in their responsibility as healers and medical professionals."

AP All-American Watch: Tate takes off; Holland's sack streak
Ralph D. Russo
The Associated Press has been honouring college football's best with an All-America team since 1925. This season, the AP released its first preseason All-America team and last week a midseason team. The full three-team All-America selections are unveiled in December. The sixth installment of the weekly All-America watch features a quarterback who started the season as a backup, an SEC linebacker on a sack streak and a matchup in the middle of the Big Ten's game of the year.
Khalil Tate, QB, Arizona
Tate began the season on the bench after losing a preseason competition for the starting job to Brandon Dawkins. Then the sophomore was banged up and not available for a couple games. An injury to Dawkins three games ago gave Tate a chance and he has simply been one of the best players in the country since. In the last three games, Tate has run for 694 yards and passed for 468 more while accounting for 11 touchdowns. Playing for coach Rich Rodriguez, the comparisons to former West Virginia quarterback Pat White are inevitable. The Wildcats have won four straight to surge into the Pac-12 South race.
What they are saying: "He is actually playing better than we anticipated that he would, particularly running-wise" — Rodriguez.
Outlook: The Wildcats play No. 15 Washington State and No. 21 Southern California the next two weeks. Let's see if he can keep the show going against better competition.
WHO'S HOT?
Jeff Holland, LB, Auburn
Linebacker is a loaded position and Holland didn't make the AP's midseason All-America team, but he is pushing to get recognition on the team that counts most. Holland leads the Southeastern Conference with eight sacks, registering at least one in his last five games and 3.5 in his last two. Against Arkansas last Saturday, he caused two fumbles.
WHO'S NOT?
Simmie Cobbs, WR, Indiana
Cobbs missed all of last season with an ankle injury, and then had a breakout game to open this season against Ohio State, with 11 catches for 149 yards and a touchdown. The 6-foot-4, 220-pound senior has not cracked 100 yards in a game since and in the last two games he has been limited to just 94 yards on 11 catches. Cobbs' issues are really just a symptom of an Indiana offence that ranks near the bottom of the Big Ten in yards per play (4.76) and yards per pass (6.1), and has already made a quarterback change.
(Former Auburn offensive lineman and ESPN analyst Cole Cubelic identifies an o-lineman worth watching)
Mike McGlinchey, OT, Notre Dame
McGlinchey is a vital cog in one of the country's best running attacks (7.06 yards per carry). He has been dominant, collapsing the left side regularly to open holes. He had a couple of high-profile pass protection lapses against Georgia early this season, but that part of his game has improved as the season has gone on.
GROUP OF 5-STARS
The top of the national leaderboard in sacks is teeming with MACtion. The top three players in the country in sacks all play in the Mid-American Conference.
— Northern Illinois running back-turned-defensive end Sutton Smith, who was a second-team selection on the AP's midseason All-America team, is third with 8.5 sacks.
— Ball State defensive end Anthony Winbush is second in the nation with 9.5 sacks.
— Central Michigan defensive end Joe Ostman grabbed the national lead in sacks this week when he had four in a victory against Ball State.
ALL-AMERICA MATCHUP
Penn State MLB Jason Cabinda vs. Ohio State centre Billy Price.
Cabinda is the leader of a defence that doesn't have a lot of star power, but has been among the best in college football this season. The senior leads the Nittany Lions in tackles (53) and has two sacks. Price was a midseason All-American and the senior leader of the Buckeyes' line. How often Price can handle Cabinda in the running game could make a huge difference in the Big Ten's regular-season game of the year.

Silencing of PINK1 Expression Affects Mitochondrial DNA and Oxidative Phosphorylation in DOPAMINERGIC Cells
Gegg, ME; Cooper, JM; Schapira, AHV; Taanman, JW; (2009) Silencing of PINK1 Expression Affects Mitochondrial DNA and Oxidative Phosphorylation in DOPAMINERGIC Cells. PLOS ONE , 4 (3) , Article e4756. 10.1371/journal.pone.0004756.
Background: Mitochondrial dysfunction has been implicated in the pathogenesis of Parkinson's disease (PD). Impairment of the mitochondrial electron transport chain (ETC) and an increased frequency in deletions of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA), which encodes some of the subunits of the ETC, have been reported in the substantia nigra of PD brains. The identification of mutations in the PINK1 gene, which cause an autosomal recessive form of PD, has supported mitochondrial involvement in PD. The PINK1 protein is a serine/threonine kinase localized in mitochondria and the cytosol. Its precise function is unknown, but it is involved in neuroprotection against a variety of stress signalling pathways.Methodology/Principal Findings: In this report we have investigated the effect of silencing PINK1 expression in human dopaminergic SH-SY5Y cells by siRNA on mtDNA synthesis and ETC function. Loss of PINK1 expression resulted in a decrease in mtDNA levels and mtDNA synthesis. We also report a concomitant loss of mitochondrial membrane potential and decreased mitochondrial ATP synthesis, with the activity of complex IV of the ETC most affected. This mitochondrial dysfunction resulted in increased markers of oxidative stress under basal conditions and increased cell death following treatment with the free radical generator paraquat.Conclusions: This report highlights a novel function of PINK1 in mitochondrial biogenesis and a role in maintaining mitochondrial ETC activity. Dysfunction of both has been implicated in sporadic forms of PD suggesting that these may be key pathways in the development of the disease.

Making a difference — one student at a time
By Sentinel and Enterprise Contributor and Sentinel and Enterprise |
PUBLISHED: July 17, 2014 at 12:00 a.m. | UPDATED: July 11, 2019 at 12:00 a.m.
The government official was attending a meeting at a high school with problems meeting the educational goals established by the state and federal government. Her mind shifted between the decision to keep the watered-down state MCAS program that was perceived to be soon doomed, or switch to the federal PARRC (pronounced PORK) with its promise of "newness" and lots of money that should buy some years of public backing and provide false hopes that a federal program could solve a local problem. She liked to think while she walked.
She followed some students into a room with a lot of computers where some students were working, others watching sports videos, and still others looking at shoes or playing a video game. In the corner was an old man talking with a student. When the student left, the official approached and asked what he was doing. "I was mentoring" was the response. "Students stop by and I ask about what they want to do, help them with a plan and opportunities, encourage them to work hard, and offer to answer questions and review their progress. I do this to promote student achievement for everyone."
The official responded, "Don't you understand how many students are in this school, this state, and the nation? There are so many different problems, what makes you think that you can make a difference?"
The old man replied, "The girl that just left stopped by to tell me that she has not only been accepted to the private college of her choice, she just received a scholarship that will allow her to attend with almost no loans with a family EFC of zero. I made a difference for her."

In Laos, a World Bank 'model' dam and the myth of sustainable hydropower

BANGKOK — It wasn't a flood. It was a tsunami, Premrudee Daorung said of the wall of water that tore through the forests of Laos' Attapeu province, snapping timber like matchsticks and flattening entire villages.
The July collapse of the Xe-Pian Xe-Namnoy saddle dam in southern Laos and the widespread disaster that followed made international headlines. But Premrudee, coordinator of the Lao Dam Investment Monitor — along with several other development and water experts — says many other mega-hydropower projects in Laos are little more than quiet, slow-moving disasters.
Laos dam disaster reignites calls for stronger safety systems
Safe water management advocates are pointing to the man-made disaster as a prime example of the risks related to many large dam projects planned for the region — and the devastating impact failed safety measures can have on downstream communities.
Shortly after the Xe-Pian Xe-Namnoy collapse displaced thousands and claimed at least 40 lives, the Mekong River Commission called the dam break a national tragedy, but also an opportunity. It's one that "ushers in new hope for a more optimal, sustainable, and less contentious path for development of one of the greatest rivers in the world," MRC CEO Pham Tuan Phan said in a statement at the time.
The Laos government announced a halt to proposed dams while it reviewed existing hydropower facilities in a move that pleased watchdogs. But just one day later, it initiated prior consultations on the controversial Pak Lay dam in northwestern Laos. The collapse may have triggered international sympathy, but it wasn't enough to shatter the idea that hydropower should be a pillar of sustainable development along the Mekong — a farce that the World Bank has spent nearly two decades promoting, according to Bruce Shoemaker, an independent researcher focused on development issues in the Mekong region.
In December 2017, the World Bank handed over the Nam Theun 2, a $1.3 billion dam partly financed by the Asian Development Bank, to the Laos government. The mega-project was positioned as the future of sustainable hydropower, said Shoemaker, who began following the project long before its approval in 2005. Instead, in a bid to become a socially and environmentally responsible "model dam," NT2 failed communities, the environment, and continues to threaten local livelihoods, critics say.
A 'model' dam
Plans for NT2 can be traced back to the early 2000s, when, Shoemaker said, the World Bank began touting the concept of hydropower as one of dual purpose: To make the country richer while contributing to poverty alleviation and conservation efforts. But the community benefits attached to the mega-dam were doomed from the start, experts who have researched the project told Devex.
When NT2 got the green light, several NGOs signed on to help relocate 6,000 people to the southern edge of the new reservoir site, beside an area identified for community forestry practices. The dam was operational by 2010, with 90 percent of the power exported to Thailand. But by 2012, progress reports regarding livelihoods and conservation efforts from bank-appointed external panel of experts were souring, said Shoemaker, who is co-editor of recent book "Dead in the Water: Global Lessons from the World Bank's Model Hydropower Project in Laos."
It wasn't surprising to Glenn Hunt, who previously worked in the region and conducted an early assessment of the project's social development plan. Community forestry is something that has never worked in Laos, he said, and this experiment was no different: "For one of the pillars that was supposed to be the primary source of income, it's been an unmitigated disaster."
The reservoir flooded farmland, meaning much of the community's livestock soon starved and people could no longer count on their crops for income. The association set up to manage the forest largely fell apart, the sawmill will soon be closed, and the effort has not provided the third of villagers' income it was meant to, Hunt said.
Residents were relocated to new houses, which are accessible via new roads, and the World Bank celebrated the new clinics, toilets, electricity, and water pumps in its statement declaring the closure of the project in December 2017. It's the tradeoffs for the infrastructure that are problematic, said Niwat Roykaew, head of the Thai people's network Rak Chian Khong Group.
"If you have the house, you have the house. But what to eat? How do you feed your family?" Niwat said.
Reservoir fisheries have proven to be the most sustainable pillar, though it's been difficult to keep those outside the immediate community from fishing as well. But with an absence of other income-generating opportunities, community members are instead using the reservoir to access nearby protected land — an area that hosts several threatened species and was meant to benefit from funding and additional oversight — to poach animals and valuable rosewood.
Downstream, villagers have reported a drop in wild fish catch and loss of riverbank gardens. Shoemaker, who had conducted a livelihoods study of the community along the Xe-Bang Fai river in 2001, returned in 2014 to find that the fish market had dwindled, and low-lying rice fields had flooded.

The impact of NT2 is strikingly similar to the World Bank-financed Pak Mun dam, completed in 1994 in Thailand's Ubon Ratchathani Province, said Kanokwan Manorum, a professor at Ubon Ratchathani University who has researched water and land governance in the area for 20 years. There, resettled villagers faced comparable losses, and turned to broom making after fish catch declined.
"The mistakes we face about the Pak Mun dam are already repeated in the Xe-Bang Fai area," Kanokwan said. "It shouldn't be like that. The World Bank should have learned about the impacts of the Pak Mun dam, and should make a better dam. I feel like the better dam will never happen."
After several emails, World Bank staff said they could not reply to questions regarding NT2 on short turnaround, but pointed Devex to the final report by an international environmental and social panel of experts, particularly this portion:
"The POE [Panel of Experts] has confidence that the project is on the road to overall sustainability. It is not there yet. The solemn additional undertakings by all stakeholders to maintain their support in the years ahead provide evidence of a renewed commitment to the ultimate goal of sustainability by all parties."
The panel of experts had refused to sign off on the resettlement program in 2015, prompting a two-year extension. Now, as part of the final sign-off, the French development agency has taken over livelihood support for the next five years. Rather than evidence of renewed commitment, it's proof that the project wasn't sustainable, Shoemaker said.
Damming the Mekong
Laos is planning to build about 140 hydropower dams in its quest to become the "battery of Southeast Asia." But Shoemaker and other water and development experts are urging the country to consider a different way forward.
"Investors position mega-dams as 'high risk, high reward,' Shoemaker said. "But who is taking the risks? The bank put in all these loan guarantees to the investors, but not for the people there."
There is little room for communities to engage and advocate on these issues, especially against the nearly nonexistent civil society backdrop of Laos, where the majority of the dams in the region are planned. Lao Dam Investment Monitor's Premrudee stated she was speaking on behalf of Laos villagers, who did not feel it was safe to speak themselves. The Xe-Pian Xe-Namnoy disaster has prompted global dialogue, and she is hopeful a review of the project will inspire change, she said.
But Hunt wants governments and developers to think further outside the box if they're going to continue disrupting people's lives to build massive dams: "Maybe the citizens need to be shareholders, or they need to be getting dividends from the company, something different. It's their traditional land, why shouldn't they be part-owners in the entire enterprise? That's the type of thinking that needs to take place."

► How compliant is ADB to its own safeguards policies?
Other suggestions revolve around considering alternatives to hydropower dams altogether. International Rivers, an advocacy group that has opposed the construction of mega-dams, is calling for participatory, Mekong basin-wide planning, and comprehensive options assessment, as well as financial and technical assistance to promote energy and development alternatives. No matter what, social and environmental risk must be costed into projects, said Maureen Harris, the NGO's Southeast Asia program director.
NT2 and Xe-Pian Xe-Namnoy are just two examples that are now being heavily studied, Niwat, from the Thai Rak Chian Khong Group, said, but he worries about the hundreds of dams proposed along tributaries in the region undergoing less scrutiny.
Xe-Pian Xe-Namnoy is a "clear example" of how corruption and profit-driven investment can cause a disaster, he added, but he witnessed the slow-moving disaster caused by the NT2 project himself.
Niwat visited the plateau area that villagers called home before the dam construction. People living upstream or on the reservoir area had been told they could not build a new house or farm their rice paddies since the land would soon be flooded — and they would soon live in a nice new house elsewhere.
"The predam disaster was already there," he said.

I was always impressed with his kindness and his knowledge of horticulture, and very generous with his knowledge. He always had an answer for any questions I asked. I have never had anyone return an answer to emails like he did.
I have had friends travel abroad send me pictures of flowers taken on their travels to identify. I didn't even have a clue; I would forward them to Michael and he would email right back name and country of origin. I get very sad just thinking that is gone, all that knowledge is gone.
He brought me up some of his wonderful Brussels. He was so proud of them and they were the best I ever had. What an honor that Fedco Seeds mentioned his comment on Gustus Brussels, Page 53. His opinion was always very important to everyone that knew him. He will be greatly missed.

Il nanosocialismo si riferisce generalmente a una serie di teorie economiche di organizzazione sociale che sostengono la proprietà collettiva o dello stato e l'amministrazione di ricerca, sviluppo e utilizzo della nanotecnologia.

Politica

Il nanosocialismo è una presa di posizione che favorisce la politica partecipativa per guidare l'intervento statale nel tentativo di gestire la transizione verso una società mutata radicalmente dalla nanotecnologia molecolare.

Il "nanosocialismo" è un termine coniato da David M. Berube, il direttore associato di Nanoscience and Technology Studies alla NanoCenter della USC, il quale sostiene che i progetti nanotecnologici hanno bisogno di essere temperati dal tecnorealismo per quanto riguarda le implicazioni della nanotecnologia in una società tecnocapitalista, ma queste sue applicazioni offrono anche enormi opportunità di abbondanza economica e progresso sociale.

Nella cultura di massa
Nel gioco di ruolo Transhuman Space, il nanosocialismo viene descritto come un discendente dell'infosocialismo, dove la proprietà intellettuale è nazionalizzata e distribuita dallo stato. È adottato inoltre da alcuni paesi in via di sviluppo per contrastare le corporation delle nazioni più ricche che detengono i copyright e i brevetti. Questa versione romanzesca del nanosocialismo è stato coniata da David L. Pulver, il creatore del gioco, inconsapevole del fatto che il termine fosse già stato utilizzato da Berube.

Duke Energy is LOWERING Rates in Florida
February 9, 2016 by Lenz Entertainment Group
ST. PETERSBURG, FLA. –
Duke Energy's Florida customers will once again see lower electric rates if the company's annual rate filings for 2016 are approved by the Florida Public Service Commission (FPSC).
The company today filed its annual projections for fuel used to generate electricity and purchased power, also known as capacity.
If all 2016 rate filings are approved and the company issues low-interest bonds as planned, customers will see a decrease of approximately $4.18 per month to a rate of $117.41 on a 1,000-kilowatt-hour (kWh) residential bill. This represents more than 3 percent in savings when compared to the current rate of $121.59.
"We continue to work hard to provide the best possible price for our customers," said Alex Glenn, Duke Energy state president – Florida. "Our successful cost management and careful planning is helping lower customer rates while we invest in affordable, clean energy and improve reliability for our customers every day. If approved as planned, our customers will be paying nearly 15 percent less for electricity than they were six years ago."
2-year Duke Energy Florida Rate Decrease per 1,000 kWh residential rate*
2014 2015 (Jan. – April) 2015 (May – Dec.) Est. 2016**
$125.29 $125.13 $121.59 $117.41
*Bill totals include the state's standard gross receipts tax but do not include any local taxes or fees that vary by municipality.
** 2016 estimate as planned for as early as February requires approval and issuance of low-cost bonds.
Business customers will also see similar rate reductions compared with current rates, depending on a number of factors including rate class and type of service.
Individual electric bills vary greatly and depend on the amount of electricity used.
Each year, Duke Energy Florida files estimates for the following year, as well as any adjustments needed for the current year, to recover costs for fuel and purchased power, energy-efficiency programs, environmental improvements and nuclear cost recovery. These components are reviewed annually by the FPSC and adjusted to reflect changes in the actual costs incurred.
The proposed decrease in 2016 is due mainly to lower natural gas prices, which are the primary driver for the more than 20 percent decrease in retail fuel costs. Duke Energy Florida works to actively manage its fuel contracts and keep costs as low as possible for customers. The company makes no profit from the fuel component of rates.
Following the annual hearings in the fall, the rates approved by the FPSC will go into effect in January 2016. The company plans to issue low-cost bonds lowering costs associated with the Crystal River nuclear plant in early 2016. Prior to the proposed bond implementation, the estimated January 2016 rate would be slightly lower – $114.15 per 1,000 kWh (residential).
Duke Energy Florida
Duke Energy Florida owns coal-fired and natural gas generation providing about 9,000 megawatts of owned electric capacity to approximately 1.7 million customers in a 13,000-square-mile service area.
With its Florida regional headquarters located in St. Petersburg, Fla., Duke Energy is the largest electric power holding company in the United States. Its regulated utility operations serve approximately 7.3 million electric customers located in six states in the Southeast and Midwest. Its commercial power and international energy business segments own and operate diverse power generation assets in North America and Latin America, including a growing portfolio of renewable energy assets in the United States.
Headquartered in Charlotte, N.C., Duke Energy is a Fortune 250 company traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol DUK. More information about the company is available at duke-energy.com.

With April's spotlight on Month of the Military Child, now's a good time to remind military families of the importance of having adequate life insurance protection for both parents. Here's why.
Many of today's families have household budgets based on two incomes. Insuring only the primary breadwinner doesn't truly protect your family as it may have in your parents' generation. If either you or your spouse die unexpectedly, your family's lifestyle and financial future could be in jeopardy if both of you aren't adequately insured.
But do you really need two insurance policies? And can your budget handle the added expense of two premiums? What you may need is insurance on the first person to die. Here's why.
The benefits paid on that first life would in many cases take care of "the big three"—your mortgage, your car payments, and your children's education. And the surviving spouse would no longer need coverage that's large enough to cover these major expenses.
That's why it's often the first person to die that needs the largest amount of insurance. Because no one can predict who will die first, we offer a unique plan: USBA Double Value TWO for ONE® Family Group Level Term Life.
USBA Double Value TWO for ONE® is an affordable way to provide both of you with the same amount of coverage—up to $400,000—that pays on whoever dies first. But you only have one premium to pay, not two. Plus, you can keep it after you transition out of the military. As added protection, should both of you die within 15 days of each other as the result of the same accident, the full benefit amount would paid for each life. This provides extra financial security for your family.

President Barack Obama plans to visit the Cleveland Clinic Thursday, an institution he has held up as a model for delivering high-quality and cost-effective health care. But trying to replicate the clinic's approach across the U.S. would pose difficult challenges.
The Cleveland Clinic is one of the country's pre-eminent medical institutions, with a top-ranked heart program that attracts patients from around the world. In addition to the quality of its care, though, what has caught the attention of the Obama administration is how the clinic stacks up cost-wise against similar hospitals.
According to a study of U.S. medical-cost patterns known as the Dartmouth Atlas of Health Care, chronically ill patients in the last two years of life cost Medicare $55,000 on average when they are treated at the Cleveland Clinic, tens of thousands of dollars less than at many highly-ranked academic medical centers.
"We should ask why places like the Mayo Clinic in Minnesota, the Cleveland Clinic in Ohio, and other institutions can offer the highest quality care at costs well below the national norm," the president wrote in a letter to Sens. Edward Kennedy and Max Baucus last month. "We need to learn from their successes."
The key to the Cleveland Clinic's success, many policy makers say, is its integrated approach. Like other so-called multispecialty clinics, the Cleveland Clinic employs its own physicians, creating teams of specialists that collaborate in treating each patient. By contrast, at most traditional community hospitals, doctors remain independent, private practitioners.
The clinic model makes it easier to coordinate care, implement evidence-based treatments and reduce the red tape of referrals, proponents say. The clinics say their doctors also have less incentive to order unnecessary tests or procedures because they are paid fixed salaries, not on a fee-for-service basis like the majority of U.S. doctors.
Despite the favorable attention from the White House, however, the multispecialty clinic model isn't easy to replicate widely. One issue is cultural: Most doctors tend to be fiercely independent. Working at multispecialty clinics requires that professionals buy into the teamwork ethos and tight hierarchy that have dominated these institutions since their inception decades ago.
"It's a lot more difficult for a community hospital to tell 100 private practitioners it wants them all to start using computers for electronic record-keeping," said John Kastor, professor of medicine at the University of Maryland's medical school. "Physicians don't like others to tell them what to do."
The other problem is economics: the predominant fee-for-service payment system, driven largely by Medicare's payment policies, reimburses hospitals and doctors largely by how much they do to patients, not necessarily for making them healthier.
If anything, American doctors seem to be migrating away from multispecialty clinics.
Multispecialty clinics such as Mayo have complained that the health-overhaul bill unveiled by the House last week doesn't use Medicare enough as a lever to change how medicine is practiced. The House bill does include a provision to reward doctors who join "accountable care organizations" when they provide quality care at lower cost, but only as a pilot. It also includes an experiment in bundling payments to providers, with a fixed fee for caring for a given patient.
The Cleveland Clinic's chief executive, Delos Cosgrove, so far has refrained from commenting on the specifics of efforts in Washington.
The Cleveland Clinic stays profitable by offsetting its losses on Medicare patients with payments from private insurers and thousands of foreign patients who often pay its full list prices. Those prices can be two to three times higher than what U.S. insurance plans negotiate with the clinic. The clinic also pulls in significant revenue from philanthropy; it collected $183 million in 2008.
Even if the clinic's organization and culture can't be easily replicated, its practices can, it argues. Its electronic medical records, for instance, let patients upload their health information, such as weight-loss or blood-sugar data, directly from scales or devices at home. That, in turn, gets patients more involved in their health and keeps them in better touch with their doctors, the clinic says.
