Threads considered harmful
Many have or will shortly embark on the adventure of writing parallel programs. It is, therefore, useful to reflect on what mistakes we might avoid.
My favorite quote is one often attributed to Mark Twain as "History may not repeat itself, but it does rhyme a lot."
Reflecting on a seminal paper (letter) some 40 years ago, "Goto Statement Considered Harmful " by Edsger Dijkstra published in Communicatons of the ACM in March 1968, I see a rhyme in the making.
Dijkstra's letter was short, and included the statement "The go to statement as it stands is just too primitive; it is too much an invitation to make a mess of one's program."
His paper is widely considered to have pushed the industry to a higher level of abstraction - specifically to structured programming (as in block-structured languages).
I still remember vividly those who argued years after his paper was published that eliminating the 'goto' statement would infringe on creativity. In fact, a series of published arguments in favor of the Goto Statement created a response from Dijkstra 20 years after his initial letter entitled "On a somewhat disappointing correspondence" in which he said "The whole correspondence was carried out at a level that vividly reminded me of the intellectual climate of twenty years ago, as if stagnation were the major characteristic of the computing profession, and that was a disappointment."
By now, we certainly know that some programs fail to pass the test of time. Such programs will be re-written because they are too bound to the hardware, embody hard to maintain programming styles, or otherwise express things in a complex manner which can be stated more easily using newer methods.
Today, we have many parallel programs. They are often written using native threads (pthreads , Windows threads, Java threads or Boost threads ).
In the end, they make a mess of a program. Threads are necessary plumbing, but in applications they simply result in programs which will not pass the test of time. Parallel programming, in order to stand the test of time, needs higher level programming methods.
The practical side of me suggests use of any threaded library, OpenMP or TBB. A less practical side encourages looking at new programming languages like Erlang or Haskell. Either way, the more abstact expression of a program will hold up better over time than the lower level of programming associated with native threads.
Are we going to rhyme, and write lots of parallel code with the modern equivalent of the "Goto Statement"?

Long time no post here. Sorry about that.
Well, I did this cartoon awhile ago with Jon Adams and Titmouse Studios for MTV LiquidTv. It's episode one of three. Two will be out next week.
And if it gets enough hits, MTV might order more. So if you like it, tell your friends. If you don't, tell your enemies to watch it.
It's kinda fucked up.

Students and Credit
Today, more and more young people are faced with decisions of how to finance their higher education and their student lifestyles. Chances are the important lessons of how to budget and to manage credit and debt were covered inadequately during their school years.
Although there are some advantages to using credit judiciously and establishing a credit history, right away you as a student must make decisions about the different kinds and amounts of credit that may be available to you. Besides federal student loans, there are the many credit card offers that come in the mail, as well as the tables set up on campus to lure you into signing up for a card at what is often a high annual interest rate.
Student Loans
★ According to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB), student loan debt in the United States now exceeds $1.2 trillion.
★ There are currently over 7 million borrowers in default on a federal or private student loan.
★ In 2011, students borrowed $117 billion in federal student loans alone.
★ 71% of the class of 2012 had student loans and the average debt was $29,400. For student graduating in 2011, 66% had student loan debts averaging $26,600.
★ Federal student loan debt cannot be discharged in bankruptcy and there is no time limit on the collection of that outstanding debt.
★ Americans age 60 and older owe roughly $43 billion in student loans and more than 10% are 90 days or more delinquent.
★ While Social Security income in protected from most creditors, a part of your Social Security income can be taken to offset student loan debt. In 2000, 6 people had their Social Security check garnished to pay delinquent student debt; that number increased to 115,000 individuals during the first 8 months of 2012.
A federal student loan has many advantages, if you are sensible in how you use it. Remember ~
- Rule Number One: The acquisition of a student loan, and the manner in which you repay it, will impact credit your score (your personal financial track record.)
- Rule Number Two: At payback time, never default on a government-backed loan!
- Rule Number Three: Don't use your loan for unnecessary or frivolous expenses that will cost you many times more, with compounded interest, when you start paying for them with your future earnings.
Before you even submit an application, consider this. To give you an idea of what it really costs to buy on credit, imagine for a moment you have a student loan that you do not have to pay off—with interest, of course—until after graduating from college. Each weekday morning year-round you purchase a $3 latté with a portion of your loan funds. After four years of school at an assumed interest rate of 8 1/4 percent, you will owe $2,609 in interest alone, on top of the original $3,120 you spent with borrowed money that must be paid back. You'll have to come up with $48 every month of the year for the next ten years of your life, just to pay for all those lattés you financed with your future income.
On the other hand, there are obligatory expenses associated with your college education that may be more cost-effective to pay for with a student loan, if you are deciding between that and a credit card. If you must finance your books and transportation, tally up their cost in addition to fees and tuition. Applying for a student loan may seem more of a hassle in the beginning, but opting for the convenience of using a credit card for these unavoidable expenses could cost you a lot more in the long term.
Credit Cards
Unlike a student loan, a credit card is designed for a person with income who can make regular payments each month. You may also be granted a higher credit limit than you can afford to spend. Many a student falls into the trap of excessive credit card use during school and is unwittingly setting himself or herself up for financial failure.
★ A survey of teens in 2007 revealed that only 26% understood credit-card interest and fees.
★ In 2009, 91% of college undergraduates had a credit card, up from 76% in 2004.
★ Half of these students carried 4 or more cards.
★ Undergraduates are carrying record-high credit card balances. The average outstanding balance in 2009 was $3,173, with 21% of the undergraduates carrying a balance of between $3,000 and $7,000.
★ 25% of students surveyed in 2008 report paying a late fee and 15% paid an "over the limit" fee.
Do you realize that, if you had a credit card balance of $7,000 and an interest rate of 18.9 percent, made no further charges to that account and paid the minimum balance every month, it would take you over 16 years to pay it off? With a $1,000 balance at 18 percent, you would still pay an additional $1,115 in interest over more than 12 years by paying only the minimum balance.
Learning how to borrow responsibly and build a positive credit history could help you later in getting a job, buying a car, renting an apartment or buying a house. Since having a credit card under your parents' name does nothing to establish credit for you, what should you do?
Tips for Using Credit Cards Wisely
- First, decide whether you need and can afford a credit card right now. Understand the differences between a secured credit card, a prepaid crdit card and a conventional credit card.
- If you do sign up, get only one, a national credit card such as Visa or MasterCard.
- Shop around for the best deal. Visit Bankrate.com for excellent information about various credit cards. Compare offers and read all the fine print. Look for:
- A low interest rate or finance charge (APR);
- No annual fee;
- Reasonable late fees;
- A grace period for payment before finance charges accrue; and
- Cash back or other benefits.
- Watch for the hidden cost of cash advances.
- Politely decline offers to raise your credit limit.
- Try to charge to your account only what you can afford to repay within the monthly grace period. If occasionally you cannot do this, make at least the minimum payment, and on time (it must reach the company by the due date).
- Use your card for emergencies and not for entertainment.
- Consider always paying cash for items under $50.
- Stick to a budget and don't buy what you can't afford. Your monthly debt load should not be more than 10 to 15 percent of your monthly net income after taxes.
- Be on the alert for fraudulent accounts opened in your name through theft of your personal identifying information. (Read more at Student Loans Scams.)
- Study your bill every month and call the company immediately if you have questions, change your address, want to request a different billing date, or get behind in payments.
Other Options
Consider joining a credit union to qualify for a lower-cost loan. If you are a graduating college senior or first-time car-buyer, auto manufacturers sometimes have subsidized loan programs tailored to you; but beware of an auto dealership that offers you a loan with an excessive rate of interest.
Counseling by and for Students like You
If you do find yourself getting over your head in money matters, or you just want more advice on handling all aspects of your finances, there is a program that can help that is designed just for young people. The Peer Financial Counseling Program, which has a base on the University of Georgia (UGA) campus and will help you set up a similar program on your own in-state campus, consists of fellow students sharing in a structured way through speaking opportunities, seminars and the distribution of educational materials.
You can find more about the program and download lots of excellent and informative seminar material (even PowerPoint presentations) direct from the web site of UGA's Department of Family and Consumer Economics. To ask whether your campus currently has a Peer Financial Counseling Program, contact your school's Office of Student Financial Aid.
Many other materials, were written especially for students. For more ideas on how to take charge of your financial future, visit www.fcs.uga.edu/extension/money.

Preserving Digital Materials
Several years ago, my mom lost a large box full of photographs to water damage. If I'd known then what I know now, we might have been able to save some of them, but they were damp quite awhile before the damage was discovered.
The lesson that we learned?
Never store photographs in a cardboard box next to a bathroom, where a small, undiscovered water leak may damage or destroy your photographs.
With that knowledge still fresh in mind, plus watching the destruction of homes and loss of family photographs each year from flood, fire, and yes here in Kansas, tornadoes, I'm scanning every photograph that I can, as fast as I can, and adding it to my genealogy programs as if it was maybe the most important thing genealogically speaking that I can do for my family.
And – maybe it is.
Good Advice from the Library of Congress…
I'm also watching for information that can help me do a better job scanning, organizing, preserving, and backing up my rapidly growing digital collection, so what started this whole blog post was following a link to the "Preserving Digital Memories" information at the Library of Congress website.
You can check out the many pages of advice there by clicking on this link: http://www.digitalpreservation.gov/personalarchiving/.
Back up by Sharing…
And because lugging a flat bed scanner to family reunions or your Great Aunt Ethel's home isn't always handy, (or even do-able), I recently added a Flip-Pal scanner to my scanning arsenal.
My, how I wish I had had one of these last fall when I scanned photos that were glued down in a cousin's photograph albums! There were several photos I simply could not scan using a flat bed scanner, but with the Flip-Pal I certainly could have.
And because one of the best ways to back up these digital photograph collections is to share it with other family members, (besides just being a really cool thing to do) I'm doing that, too.

Ruby from Ruby's Reads started a new meme. Join her and share your favorite Special Series!
I love, love, love Nari Kusakawa. She has a unique art style, and she is able to blend fantasy elements, humor, and romance into an absolute bundle of joy. She pushes all of the right buttons for me with her quirky characters, clever dialog, and fun stories. CMX, the shuttered manga arm of DC Comics, published a few of her series before their untimely demise, and I enjoyed all of them. I am still a tiny bit bitter that the end of Two Flowers For the Dragon never saw store shelves, because I loved that series as well. While it is difficult to find new copies of The Palette of Twelve Secret Colors to purchase, it looks like they are available used if you look around.
1. What's the series about?
On the magical island of Opal, the plumage of vividly colored birds gives colors to many beautiful items. Only Palettes can extract the colors from the birds' feathers and transfer them to cloth and other items. Cello is studying to become a Palette, but she is a bit clumsy and struggles with even the most simple of spells. With the help of her bird Yoyo, her friends, and handsome Dr Guell, Cello works hard to achieve her dream of becoming a Palette.
2. Why are you pushing this series?
The above description doesn't do this series justice, so I will try to convince you to track the books down and share the wonder that is The Palette of Twelve Secret Colors. This series is presented in slice of life chapters which tie the characters and their actions together into a larger, more sweeping story. The action follows Cello as she bumbles her way through her studies. Though she is incredibly gifted, she lacks confidence in herself, so she constantly has to fight with her self-doubts. When her magic goes awry, and it often does, with humorous results, she has to visit Dr Guell so he can undo her spells. I loved their relationship, and how it slowly blossomed from a reluctant attraction into something deeper and more meaningful. They both try to fight their feelings for each other, but because they are made for each other, their struggles are in vain. They are polar opposites, and every time they interacted, I couldn't help laughing at the dialog. Nari Kusakawa also puts them both into ridiculous situations, and they often have to work together to get out of them.
When I first discovered Nara Kusakawa, I did not like her art work. Not one bit. Her drawings are very whimsical, and I didn't like that. But as I read more of her work, I began to see the humor and the attention to detail that she inserted into her illustrations. Her characters are expressive and give a great deal of depth to her stories. The cast is kept small, so that the focus can remain firmly set on Cello, Dr Guell, and both of their birds. Yes, Yoyo and Olga, Dr Guell's bird, make this story special. They interfere with the deeper emotions that are growing between Cello and Dr Guell. Olga is insanely jealous of Cello, and her single-minded attempts to keep the two humans apart always made me smile. I came to love the birds as much as I loved Cello and Dr Guell.
3. Who would like this series?
Anyone who enjoys humorous stories with light fantasy and romance elements would like The Palette of 12 Secret Colors. Weighing in at six volumes, it isn't a long series, so it won't leave a huge dent in your wallet. If you are interested in graphic novels but not sure where to start reading them, this is a very good introduction to the world of comics. The tone of the story is light, it's easy to follow, and the characters and the situations they find themselves in are fun and endearing. Go on! Give this series a try!

2015 Jaguar F-Type Coupe: LA Auto Show
What Is It?
Making its worldwide debut at the 2013 LA Auto Show, the 2015 Jaguar F-Type coupe is the stunning hardtop version of the recently launched F-Type convertible. The new fixed roof is aluminum by default, but it optionally incorporates a panoramic glass panel that won't compromise structural rigidity, according to Jaguar. With two seats, rear-wheel drive, compact dimensions and massive power under the hood, the F-Type coupe instantly becomes one of the most desirable sports cars on the planet.
The hardtop F-Type's dynamic styling suggests serious performance, and the two available engines don't disappoint. The base supercharged V6 actually comes in two states of tune -- one putting out 340 horsepower, the other 380 hp. Before you dismiss this engine as entry-level hardware, note that the 0-to-60 miles per hour times (5.1 and 4.8 seconds, respectively) are already world-class. But there are always those who want more, and Jaguar will be happy to oblige them with the F-Type R, which hits 60 mph in four seconds flat thanks to its exclusive supercharged 550-hp V8. (The F-Type convertible maxes out at a piddling 495 hp.) If there's anything disappointing here, it's that an 8-speed automatic is mandatory in every F-Type, so there'll be no heroic heel-toe downshifting like in the Jag's main rival, the Porsche 911.
The F-Type R also gets upgrades such as a reprogrammed transmission, special 20-inch wheels, race-ready brakes, adaptive dampers, an electronically controlled active rear differential and inflatable side bolsters. All F-Type coupes get an automatic rear spoiler that extends above 70 mph, LED running lights, leather upholstery (extended to various interior panels in the R) and Meridian premium audio (with extra speakers and power in the R). Of course, that gorgeous styling comes standard, too, and it's going to be a major selling point for the F-Type -- perhaps the major selling point, judging by the looks it's getting here in Los Angeles.
How Much?
$65,895 for the base model, $77,895 for the S model with 380 hp, and $99,895 for the F-Type R.
When Can You Get It?
Spring 2014
Add It to Your Shopping List Because...
The 2015 Jaguar F-Type coupe is new, different and astoundingly capable. Seems like the usual suspects have dominated the fancy sports-car segment for years, but the F-Type coupe is the proverbial breath of fresh air. Its head-turning style gives even Aston Martin a run for its money, and its hair-trigger supercharged V8 is a welcome change from the turbocharged engines overrunning the market. If you have the dough, this Jag will be hard to resist.
Other Cars to Consider
Chevrolet Corvette -- The cheaper Corvette feels much bigger than the Jag on the road, for better or worse, but it's vastly improved and offers comparable V8 power.
Nissan GT-R -- If performance is the name of your game, the all-wheel-drive GT-R is still the Godzilla of this class.
BMW M6 -- It may be big and heavy, but the M6 is incredibly fast and carries that hallowed M pedigree, so it's definitely in the mix.
Used Chevrolet Corvette Z06 -- There's no Z06 for the new C7 generation yet, and rumor has it that the previous Z06's 7.0-liter V8 won't be returning. All the more reason to get a used one, then: The C6 Z06 is faster than the F-Type R, and it's a lot more affordable, too.

MIDDLEBURY — For four long months, hundreds of volunteers and investigators wielding state-of-the-art equipment had combed through Middlebury in an effort to find missing Middlebury College student Nicholas Garza.
That search came to a cathartic end in the Otter Creek in downtown Middlebury on Tuesday with the chance discovery of Garza's body by the very man who had coordinated the massive search since the college freshman disappeared on campus during the evening of Feb. 5.
"There's no feeling of exhilaration," said Middlebury Police Chief Tom Hanley, who spotted Garza's remains submerged within a mound of floating wood and other debris that had gathered on the Marble Works side of the Otter Creek, near the base of the falls.
"There's no celebration here. This is a tragic story with a tragic ending."
An autopsy performed at the Chief Medical Examiner's Office in Burlington on Wednesday tentatively established that the remains were Garza's, though a final determination could not be made until a comparison of dental records was completed. Police expected that to happen late Wednesday or early Thursday.
But a wallet found within clothing on the remains yielded Garza's ID, leaving authorities little doubt that the long search for Nick had ended with the anticipated but dreaded results.
The discovery ended a longsuffering vigil for the Garza family, including Nick's mother, Natalie, and his younger brother, Damon, who had relocated to Middlebury from their native Albuquerque, N.M., to monitor, and participate in, the search.

FERRISBURGH — Late last week painters were coloring the walls on the lower level of the new Grange Hall that will soon serve as Ferrisburgh's town office building and a community meeting center, while upstairs workers sanded new maple flooring in preparation for finish coating.
Their efforts were sure signs that the roughly $2.8 million project — a historically accurate replica of the 137-year-old Grange Hall that burned in 2005, plus a one-story addition — is nearing completion.
And not only that, said Ferrisburgh resident Silas Towler, who has worked with general contractor Bread Loaf Corp. on the town's behalf during the project's planning and construction stages, the long-awaited effort will almost certainly come in on time and on budget.
Towler said there are always things that can go wrong, even at this late date, and construction of the building's bell tower still lagged behind other elements. But he fully expects residents to view a finished product on June 21, when an open house has been scheduled from 10 a.m. until 4 p.m.
"I'm going to equivocate only because it ain't over until it's over," Towler said.
About a month after that town-wide preview, Town Clerk Chet Hawkins and Assistant Town Clerk Pam Cousino will pack and head up the quarter-mile north along Route 7 from the existing clerk's office — a roughly 800-square-foot former one-room schoolhouse — to their new digs, which will offer about 5,900 square feet above ground plus a 2,900-square-foot basement.
The ground-floor clerk's office will also feature a meeting room adequate for about 50 people, as well as a much larger vault and two smaller separate offices, as well as one large work space roughly the size of the existing office building.
MIDDLEBURY — For two centuries, worshippers have climbed the stone steps at the southern, main entrance of the Congregational Church of Middlebury to attend services and meetings in one of the town's most majestic and prominent buildings.
Worshippers are still climbing those steps today, albeit more gingerly. Some tough winters of aggressive freezes and thaws have conspired to erode the stone steps and the mortar that has held them together.
As a result, church leaders have cordoned off the most damaged section of the steps as they research a temporary fix. That will buy the church enough time to plan, and raise money for, replacement of the steps to ensure safe access to future generations of parishioners.
"We're working to see what is the most economical, temporary thing we can do," said Ron Rucker, chairman of the church's board of trustees.
"We need to end up with something that water is not going to go into."
Water — and salt — have been enemies to the Congregational Church's steps through the years. Rucker noted the current steps were probably installed during the 1880s or 1890s when the church went through an architectural "Victorianization."
While the building has admirably weathered Vermont winters, the steps haven't. Rucker noted the steps are fashioned from two types of stone — a sturdy "Panton stone," and a less durable variety referred to as "pudding stone." Church officials during the 1950s covered the steps with a thin layer of slate so that worshipers would have a smooth surface on which to walk.
Alas, years of rain, salt applications and fluctuating temperatures have permeated the slate surface and eaten away at the stone and mortar.
I read and was deeply troubled by the article recently published in the Addison Independent headlined "Schools consider 'Pledge.' More specifically, I take offense at any citizen who likens the "…Pledge to a blind oath of loyalty."
I am grateful for Art Remick's letter about the Pledge of Allegiance published in your May 15th edition of the Independent. I have been uncomfortable with the Pledge of Allegiance and the way it is used in schools for years, and Mr. Remick's comparison to the Oath of Allegiance for Naturalized Citizens has helped me understand why.
An autopsy was scheduled to be performed at the Chief Medical Examiner's Office in Burlington on Wednesday to confirm the identity of the deceased and cause of death. But a wallet found within clothing on the remains yielded Garza's ID, leaving authorities little doubt that the long search for Nick had ended with the anticipated but dreaded results.
"On May 27, 2008, our beautiful Nicholas was recovered from Otter Creek," reads a statement posted by the family on the Web site nicholasgarza.org. "We are filled with unspeakable grief and sadness with the loss of our beloved boy. We thank everyone for their prayers and support."

STARKSBORO — A nonprofit dedicated to preserving and promoting Vermont-made music hopes to revitalize the site of a former creamery that was once the hub of a lot of activity in Starkboro.
MIDDLEBURY — Jericho Democrat Gaye Symington has a special fondness for the word "energy" when she talks about her campaign for governor these days.
The current Vermont House Speaker talks about the energy she would bring to the job as the state's chief executive, and how energy policy is of paramount importance at a time when gasoline is hovering around $4 per gallon.
Symington enters a race that includes incumbent Gov. James Douglas, a Middlebury Republican, and Progressive Anthony Pollina of Middlesex. Now in her second term as speaker, Symington when away from the Legislature is development director for the Intervale Foundation, a nonprofit organization that runs various agriculture-based ventures in Burlington.
It wasn't until recently that she decided to forego a re-election bid for her House seat in order to make her first run for governor. She said she looks forward to the challenge.
Symington said she first considered running for governor last fall, but a busy legislative session and other responsibilities forced her to delay her decision until this spring.
"As the legislative session moved on, more and more people came up to me and said, 'You are the person to do this; we really want you to consider doing this,'" Symington recalled. "It really wasn't until late-March that I realized I really have to allow myself to think this through in a complete way."
She formally announced her gubernatorial bid at the Statehouse earlier this month. Symington said she came to the realization she could bring a lot of energy and enthusiasm to charting a more prosperous course for Vermont.

A couple of weeks ago I wrote a review of OpenSUSE. As one of the bigger distributions I asked the question whether OpenSUSE is a real alternative to Ubuntu.
The Debian Site
and then download the KDE live ISO.
I used Unetbootin to copy the Debian distribution to a USB drive, plugged it into the Samsung R20 and booted it up.
A menu appeared with a list of options and I chose to boot into the live image. I always do this to make sure I won't have any problems when it comes to accessing the internet and to make sure there are no glaring issues.
On this occasion I noticed that I couldn't connect to the internet. I referred to the Debian documentation and I came across this nugget of information which explained the situation fully.
What you have to do is download a firmware zip file and unzip it to a folder called firmware under the root directory of the USB drive.
I did just that and restarted the machine and I was now able to connect to my home broadband service and my mobile broadband provider.
I played around a bit more with the distribution before going for the full installation but no other serious issues occurred so I decided to go for it.
The Debian installer works really well and is fairly easy to use. Choose your language, keyboard, timezone, enter the hostname, choose a root password and create a standard user.
The partitioning section gives you the option of choosing a guided installation or to go for a custom one. I chose the guided installation and I chose to use the entire disk. At this point I am given the option to create one big partition or to create a home and root partition or go for the third option which creates separate home, tmp, var and usr partitions. I went for the home and root partition to separate the operating system from my user files. By default Debian sets aside space for a swap partition.
After creating the partitions and formatting them the files are copied and installed to the system and the grub partitioning section starts.
At this point I came across issues.
grub-pc failed to install into /target/
I was given the opportunity at this point to try again or continue. Trying again did nothing. Pressing continue gave me the option to use LILO instead. Attempting to install LILO gave a similar error.
I tried various methods to get past this error but in the end I gave up and rebooted the USB drive and this time instead of booting into the live image I chose the text install option.
The text install option gives you all the same options as the graphical installer used within the live image. This time however I had no issues at the GRUB install stage and at last Debian was installed.
First Impressions
The Debian KDE live image provides a fairly blank canvas. In the bottom left corner is the K symbol which brings up the KDE menu and in the bottom right corner a series of icons such as an audio icon, list of recently accessed files, network connections, plugged in devices, notifications, battery monitor and of course the clock.
The bottom bar (or panel) can be completely customised and this will be discussed later. You can also add further panels.

Ecological Entrepreneurship
An "entrepreneur" is someone who thinks of a new idea or opportunity in business and who takes the risks necessary to convert his or her vision into a reality. Entrepreneurs are absolutely essential to the forwarding of human progress. An ecological entrepreneur is someone who is driven not only by the possibility of making a profit, but is also driven by environmental and social concerns. They want to make the world a better place by improving the environment.
One interesting thing about entrepreneurship is that it is a market-based approach, which encourages us to seek out positive rewards, mainly in the form of profit. Governmental oversight, the main way we address environmental issues, often involves punishing offenders in order to change people's approach to the environment. Ecological entrepreneurship is a reward-based approach to addressing environmental problems, rather than a punitive approach, and may prove more successful at changing attitudes and practices in the long run.
Business practices fundamentally affect the business world, the environment and our lives. Ecology implies community, and ecological entrepreneurs understand the connections between their actions and the greater community as a whole. The field is socially important because ecological entrepreneurs are instrumental in reshaping the way we approach the environment and its relation to business.
The Academic Requirements
Academia has begun addressing the relatively new field of ecological entrepreneurship, usually through business schools, economics programs or environmental studies programs. Few majors programs exist for ecological or environmental entrepreneurship. Courses usually focus on environmental sustainability, social equity and justice, and financial profitability. Students learn about the environment and sustainable practices, as well as how to start and run a successful business venture.
A degree is not required to start a business; however, those who learn successful business and marketing strategies are far more likely to have a successful business. If you are interested in being an entrepreneur, you could major in a business field and take several courses (or minor in) an environmental discipline.
Here are some courses that we've seen:
- Green Organizations: Businesses, Non-profits and Community Sustainability
- Introduction to Non-profit Management
- Green Technology: Assessment and Integration
- Applied Economic Analysis
- Practical Ethics
- Economics of Environmental and Social Issues
- Critical Thinking for Business Re-design
- Eco-Commerce Models
- Financial Accounting and Environmental Reporting
- Stategies of Entrepreneurial Development
- Green and Social Marketing
- Economics of Sustainability
- Ecosystem Services
- Environmental Justice
Professional Outlook
Being an entrepreneur requires a different mindset from your average business person. Entrepreneurs have a vision they are so passionate about that they will risk everything to fulfill it; this kind of dedication is not for everyone. They have to take risks, and the should be business-savvy (good planners and managers, and able to ask for help and funding). Of course, there is always the potential that you will be highly successful. Environmental entrepreneurs have the added bonus of helping the environment and inspiring others to do the same.
Job outlook for ecological entrepreneurs is likely to be better in the near future than it ever has been. Michael Schaper, of Greenleaf Publications, writes, "The move to a sustainable business framework provides numerous niches that enterprising individuals and firms can successfully identify and service." This does not mean the outlook is highly favorable, though. Like all entrepreneurs, ecological entrepreneurs face many challenges on their way to success, and many are defeated several times before they can even get a business off the ground.
By its nature, ecological entrepreneurship is not really a field with traditional job openings. Most entrepreneurs just start a business themselves or with partners and see how successful they can be.
Here are some job titles that we've seen, including some of the organizations that offer them, all of which included a requirement for experience in Ecological Entrepreneurship:

Latest News
South Florida's existing home prices jump by double digits from year ago
South Florida's housing market continued its impressive rebound in April.
The median resale price for a single-family home in Miami-Dade jumped 23.7 percent to $225,000 in April from a year earlier, the Miami Association of Realtors said.
The median price for an existing Miami-Dade condo climbed 17.1 percent year over year to $175,000.
April sales of single-family homes leaped 15.2 percent to 1,094 units in Miami-Dade year over year. The increase came despite the 6.9 percent drop in the number of single-family homes listed for sale in April.
Sales of existing condos in Miami-Dade rose 18.7 percent from a year earlier. The number of condo listings inched up 1.1 percent in April from a year earlier, the Miami Realtors said. Still, with greater demand and more sales flowing through the pipeline, the months of supply of existing condos on the market in Miami-Dade dropped to 5.7 months in April from 6.1 months a year earlier.
Real estate agents are surprised that the volume of sales has continued to increase year over year despite the lack of inventory available to sell. "After two record sales years coupled with very tight supply, it seemed sales would not exceed last year's activity. Yet Miami real estate sales appear to be surging again," Natascha Tello, chairman of Miami Realtors said in a statement.
Broward County's home market continued to post similar strong results.
The median price of an existing single-family home in Broward jumped 22 percent to $250,000 in April from a year earlier, according to the Greater Fort Lauderdale Realtors.
The median price for Broward condominiums and townhouses climbed 24 percent to $105,000 year over year for the same month, the Realtors' group said.
April sales of single-family homes in Broward jumped 11.1 percent from a year earlier to 1,316 closings, despite a 23.2 percent plunge in for-sale listings. Condo and townhouse sales increased 5.8 percent in April to 1,664 closed transactions from a year earlier.
"As median home prices continue to increase, existing homeowners are feeling more comfortable about listing their homes and receiving at or near asking price,'' Charles Bonfiglio, president of the Greater Fort Lauderdale Realtors, said in a statement.
Those selling existing single-family homes in Broward got 94.8 percent of the asking price in April, up from 91.6 percent a year earlier. Owners of townhouses and condominiums got 94.4 percent of the asking price in April, up from 91.6 percent a year ago, the Realtors group said.
Agents say many properties are getting snapped up soon as they are listed, often at asking price or above. In Miami-Dade, the median days to sell a home declined 12.5 percent to 42 days from 48 days in April 2012. The median days on the market for Miami-Dade condos fell to 43 from 52 days a year earlier, Miami Realtors said.
In Broward, single-family homes sold at a median of 34 days, down from 45 days a year earlier, and condos rushed to closing in 36 days, down from 44 days in April 2012.
"There are bidding wars. People are paying above what the appraisal is coming back at,'' said Fernando Martinez, president of the Miami Association of Realtors and a Realtor with FM Realty in Homestead. "It's very strong.''
Martinez, who also is a new home developer and owner of Caribe Homes, said when people question whether the fast-spiraling market is heading for another fall, he points to the market's solid underpinnings. That includes, he said, a large share of cash transactions and cautious mortgage lenders requiring substantial equity in financed deals.
Jeannett Slesnick, a broker-owner at Slesnick & Jochem LLP in Coral Gables, said the top challenge in the current market is the dearth of inventory amid rising demand. "It's red hot. Red, red hot,'' she said.
Slesnick recently listed a 3/2 old Spanish in north Coral Gables that needed extensive work for $390,000 and got multiple offers on it almost immediately. It sold for over asking price. "It needs a new roof, plumbing, electricity. It needs the floor refinished. It needs new windows. The garage needs updating,'' said Slesnick. "It's basically a shell.''
Across Florida, the housing recovery continued to gain momentum in April with double-digit gains in median prices and sales. According to the Florida Realtors, the median price of a single-family home in Florida rose 14.2 percent to $165,000 in April from a year earlier, while the median price of a condo was up 16.4 percent to $128,000 year over year. Condo sales rose 13.6 percent statewide and single-family home closing were up 17.4 percent year over year.

Model United Nations Club
The Model United Nations Club (MUN) is for students who attend the annual National Model UN Conference in New York each spring.
In the fall before the conference, the UIS delegation begins to form and members gather information about the country they will represent. In the spring, the delegation submits resolutions to the National MUN and attends the conference, a simulation of the United Nations Organization, where resolutions are discussed, debated, and voted upon by all countries represented in the council and committees. The simulations are as close to reality as possible. Each delegation attempts to take on the character, as well as the policy, of its assigned country and peace treaties, caucuses, and walk-outs by dissatisfied delegates are frequent.
Professor Adriana Crocker (PAC 368, 217-206-8329) is the faculty advisor.

VIDEO: Joe Johnson's GWBB
The game winning buzzer beaters are coming fast and furious now. So yeah, we're on the third Horry Scale entry of the last seven days, as last night Joe Johnson and the Brooklyn Nets went to Phoenix, and their game drifted into overtime before JJ managed to end it with a dagger. NBA players obviously can not resist the allure of making Horry Scale appearances.
Before we get too far into this, we should stop and explain. What is the Horry Scale? For those who are new around these parts, the Horry Scale examines a game-winning buzzer-beater (GWBB) in the categories of difficulty, game situation (was the team tied or behind at the time?), importance (playoff game or garden-variety Kings-Pistons game?) and celebration (is it over the top or too chill? Just the right panache or needs more sauce?). Then we give it an overall grade on a scale of 1-5 Robert Horrys, the patron saint of last-second daggers.
With the rules in place, let's check out last night's game-winner.
I've long held that Joe Johnson is one of the most underrated offensive players in the NBA. I watched nearly every Hawks game he played, and saw him night after night carry the load offensively. It wasn't always pretty, it wasn't always the most efficient offense, but it was more often than not effective. Johnson can score in so many ways, and that versatility was on display last night. Joe's GWBB was a runner in the paint with two defenders coming after him. Joe put a slight hesitation dribble on PJ Tucker and watched him soar past, then went up and lofted the ball high over Channing Frye for the bucket, just in time. On first glance it wasn't particularly spectacular, but the more I watch it the more impressive it becomes — going the length of the court in four seconds, being patient enough to let Tucker take himself out of the play, and then getting the shot off cleanly over a seven-footer before the clock trickled out of time.
So here we are, game tied at 98 in overtime, 8 seconds remaining on the clock and about 2 on the shot clock, and Frye misses a three from the wing. Johnson ends up with the rebound, and the rest is history. You often hear coaches debate whether or not to use a timeout in those circumstances. Do you stop the game to set up a play, but also potentially allow the defense to get set? Or do you take advantage of the chaos and let them play? Another potential subplot for the Nets is, Who takes the final shot in a close game? All of these issues were avoided by Coach Kidd by just letting the game play out in the moment. (Worth noting: Deron Williams had sprained his ankle earlier and was out, so perhaps that played into Kidd's decision as well.)
The Nets have been struggling this season, starting off 2-5, one loss away from the basement in the Eastern Conference, and not looking anything like the contending team most experts projected them to be. Conversely, the Suns have been surprisingly good, beginning 5-3 and making people wonder if talk of tanking was premature. It's still early in the season, but a W for the Nets could help them start to turn things around. As Johnson said after the game, "It was big. There could be a domino effect." The Nets better hope so: They play the Clippers in Los Angeles tonight.
The jubilation was there, if a bit muted until Kevin Garnett arrived and shook up the huddle a bit. To be fair, Joe Johnson has never been accused of being demonstrative. (Also, check out Tucker in the background on his knees, head to the court, literally floored by the loss.) "I couldn't even celebrate, I was so tired," Johnson told the New York Post. (He logged almost 45 minutes between regulation and overtime.) "But I was just ready to get out of there. [My teammates] are trying to celebrate and I'm ready to go… I'm like, 'Let's go into the locker room and shower and let's get out of here. … We've got a tough game tomorrow.'"
Sneaky difficult shot, pretty important game for the Nets, a team excited to get the win. There have been tougher and more important game winners, for sure, but I feel like this a GWBB that will overlooked by some. Anyway, for the reasons outlined above, I'm giving this one three Horrys.
That's my take. How many Horry's would you give Joe Johnson's game-winner?

10.07.09 New federal figures show cases of the disorder on the rise, with rate now set at 1 in 100 children.
Over the past decade, autism has made a steady climb from obscure syndrome to what seems like a pervasive developmental disorder. And now more bad news: A new federal study estimates that the prevalence is more likely about 1 in 100 children, The New York Times and The Associated Press report. Currently there are an estimated 673,000 children with autism in the U.S.
The journal Pediatrics released new statistics compiled by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in a telephone survey, which boosted the rate from the previous 1 in 150 to the now-updated 1 in 100. In the survey of 78,000 households, parents were asked whether a health care provider had ever told them that their child had an autism spectrum disorder (ASD).
Autism spectrum disorders are a group of neurodevelopmental disorders, including autism, Asperger syndrome and pervasive developmental disorder. The severity varies from child to child; affected children show impairment in social interaction and ability to communicate. They often display repetitive behavior.
Researchers also asked a follow-up question: Were the children considered to have ASD now? Nearly 40 percent of the parents and guardians said no. That finding lead the study's authors to question whether some of the children originally diagnosed as having ASD may have been improperly diagnosed.
Autism is largely genetic, but evidence also points to "triggers" in the prenatal environment that may help experts decode the disorder. But there is some hope: Autism researchers who specialize in early intervention can recognize clues to the syndrome in high-risk babies as young as 3 or 4 months.
Experts say some warning signs are apparent before age 1. If you are worried, check out our list of warning signs. And of course, communicate with your pediatrician about your concerns. She's there to help!

BBC Films Seismology Documentary Piece At TechSOCORRO, N.M. May 23, 2011 – A film crew from the BBC television network visited New Mexico Tech in early May to use school facilities to support a new documentary on the current state of knowledge about the Earth's core.

The show's producers interviewed Dr. Rick Aster, who is the principal investigator in charge of the Instrument Center and a geophysics professor in the Earth and Environmental Science Department at Tech.The BBC crew aimed to demonstrate how the seismic waves from earthquakes – or man-made explosions – travel through the Earth. An EMRTC crew set up a 2,000-pound ANFO explosion and filmed the blast. Aster and PASSCAL scientists Dave Thomas and Mouse Reusch deployed three seismic sensors to monitor the blast, along with seven other permanent stations from five to 44 kilometers away that are part of the Socorro Seismic Network. The documentary also will feature several high-speed, slow-motion films of the explosion.
After capturing seismic data from the blast, Aster displayed data plots that show the seismic waves measured near Ground Zero, and at the seismic stations placed one and two kilometers away. The plots show how the seismic waves travel much faster than the air-borne sound waves from the blast, and how the higher-frequency portions of the signals are attenuated as they propagate underground. On another plot, Aster showed the readings from all 10 seismic stations. He also described how fast and far seismic waves can travel, and what type of sources are required to penetrate thousands of kilometers to the Earth's core.
Aster explained and demonstrated how seismic waves can be used as a subsurface probing tool. He also talked about how Earth scientists combine data from many hundreds of stations to yield images of subsurface structures and gain new understandings of dynamic subsurface processes at work.
Aster, who recently completed a two-year stint as the President of the Seismological Society of America, is a renowned international expert on geophysics and seismology.
Another current show also focuses on seismology and other high-tech sensing technologies. The National Geographic Channel special X-Ray Earth reported on the EarthScope project, which is an ambitious continent-wide project to image the deep Earth. That show first aired May 15 and airs again tomorrow (May 24). For other re-broadcast times, check www.nationalgeographic.com.
Similar to the way doctors use X-rays to diagnose unseen medical problems, scientists are using an army of sensors located underground, in the sky, the ocean and our cities to monitor the Earth more than at any other time in our history. From the undisturbed far reaches of the planet to the busiest cities on the globe, X-Ray Earth uses technology and CGI to give us a new view of our world. EarthScope is one of the projects profiled on X-Ray Earth. The PASSCAL Instrument Center builds and maintains the 400 seismic stations that are deployed across the United States.

Caldwell, who also won 12 caps for Scotland, had been captain of MLS side Toronto FC since joining the club in 2013.
The 34-year-old will remain in the city and take up a role as director of corporate development with Maple Leaf Sports & Entertainment.
Caldwell started his career at Newcastle United but made three loan moves during his time on Tyneside before joining rivals Sunderland in 2004.
He spent three years at Burnley and captained the side to victory in the Football League Championship play-off final in 2009 before spells at Wigan and Birmingham.
He joined Toronto FC, initially on loan in 2013, before signing a two-and-a-half year contract with the club.
Caldwell, whose brother Gary is currently in charge at Wigan, told www.torontofc.ca: "It's with a heavy heart that I announce my retirement from the game I love.
"Football has been my life since a very young age and I appreciate the opportunity I've had to live out my dreams. I would like to thank all my team-mates and coaches I've learnt from along the way, creating friendships and bonds that will last forever.
"To all the magnificent clubs, it was an honour to represent you both home and away. I hope the fans appreciated the pride I felt putting on their jersey.
"Finally to TFC, I appreciate and love this club more than all the others. The opportunity to stay here and be a part of the success that will come is a privilege.
"I feel responsible and committed to doing everything I can to help this club prosper and win."
Toronto FC general manager Tim Bezbatchenko said: "Steven Caldwell is a true professional in every sense of the word and has played an important role at Toronto FC since his arrival.
"We appreciate his endless contributions to the club. He will be missed on the pitch, but we are all very excited that Steven will be remaining with MLSE on the business side and continuing to be a part of the future of Toronto FC.
"I know personally Steve loves this club, and he can now express the passion and commitment we are used to seeing on the field in another capacity within the organisation."

Fox Revives Falsehood That Public Sector Pensions Are Bankrupting Governments
Research ››› ››› ZACHARY PLEAT
Fox News has seized on Stockton, California's announcement that it will file for bankruptcy in order to blame state and local governments' budget problems on public sector pension obligations. In fact, the budget problems facing these governments are the result of the dramatic drop in revenue after the recession, not pensions.
Fox News Blames Government Bankruptcies On Public Sector Pensions
Fox Regular Steve Moore: Stockton Bankruptcy Is Evidence Of A "Public Sector Pension Crisis." On Fox News' America's Newsroom, Fox News regular and Wall Street Journal senior economics writer Steve Moore said that the Stockton bankruptcy is part of "the public sector pension crisis." [Fox News, America's Newsroom, 6/26/12]
Fox Business' Stuart Varney: Stockton Bankruptcy Is A Result Of "A Huge Pension Problem." On Fox & Friends, Fox Business anchor Stuart Varney said that the Stockton bankruptcy is due to "a huge pension problem." [Fox News, Fox & Friends, 6/27/12, via Media Matters]
Varney: "The Writing Is On The Wall For Other Cities And States ... Pressed By Their Pension Obligations." Varney also claimed on Fox & Friends that the Stockton bankruptcy could portend the bankruptcies of other city and state governments due to pension obligations: "The writing is on the wall for other cities and states which are in the same situation -- that is, pressed by their pension obligations. This could push other cities over the brink into bankruptcy." [Fox News, Fox & Friends, 6/27/12, via Media Matters]
But Public Worker Pensions Are Not The Cause Of Governments' Fiscal Problems
CBPP: State "Budget Gaps Result Principally From Weak Tax Collection" Because Of "The Largest Collapse In State Revenues On Record" Due To The Recession. According to a Center on Budget and Policy Priorities (CBPP) report titled "States Continue to Feel Recession's Impact," states' budget gaps are "still very large by historical standards" because of the recession, which "caused the largest collapse in state revenues on record." [Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, 6/27/12]
CBPP: "Long-Term Pension Shortfalls Are Not The Cause" Of Current State Government Fiscal Problems. The CBPP stated: "State economies and budgets continue to struggle because of shrunken revenues and rising needs. The long-term pension shortfalls are not the cause of the current state fiscal problems, and addressing them need not overwhelm state and local budgets now or reduce states' ability to recruit and retain a high-quality workforce." [Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, 5/12/11]
Center For Retirement Research: Pension Plans Accounted "For Only 3.8 Percent Of State And Local Spending." A 2010 study by Boston College's Center for Retirement Research found that in 2008, pensions accounted "for only 3.8 percent of state and local spending."
The Center for Retirement Research's reported included the following graph:
[Center for Retirement Research, October 2010]
McClatchy: "There's Simply No Evidence That State Pensions Are The Current Burden To Public Finances That Their Critics Claim." McClatchy Newspapers, citing the Center for Retirement Research, reported that "there's simply no evidence that state pensions are the current burden to public finances that their critics claim." [McClatchy Newspapers, 3/6/11]
Krugman: Claim That Pension Obligations Would "Bankrupt All State And Local Governments" Is "Mainly A Creation Of Right-Wing Propaganda." In June 2011, Nobel-prize winning economist and New York Times columnist Paul Krugman noted that the "financial position of public employee pension funds [is] much better" than it was since the financial crisis. He continued: "But that crushing pension deficit, which everyone knew was going to bankrupt all state and local governments? Mainly a creation of right-wing propaganda. Are you surprised?" [The New York Times, The Conscience of a Liberal, 6/10/11]
CBPP: Claims That Pensions "May Cause Localities To Declare Bankruptcy ... Overstate The Fiscal Problem" And "Fail To Acknowledge That Severe Problems Are Concentrated In" Just A Few States. A CBPP report on misunderstandings regarding public pensions explained that claims that pension obligations are unmanageable and will result in bankruptcy "overstate the fiscal problem" and "fail to acknowledge that severe problems are concentrated in a small number of states." [Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, 1/20/11]

I came across an article today that tells how the UK & USA are finding that the prolonged use of so many antibiotics in farm animals is causing a rise in drug resistant superbugs.
The full article is at Death wish: Routine use of vital antibiotics on farms threatens human health
I'm not sure how much time has been spent on the article above or the research but, most of us regular people could see this coming years ago.
I love that in the article it says how Scientist at a WHO briefing warned that the world could go back to a pre-antibiotic era where antibiotics won't stop infections. <--- DUH! Just watch kids who's parents take them to get antibiotics everytime they have the sniffles...pretty soon when the kid does need antibiotics...they don't work.
So what does the USA do? Only what smart people would They introduced a bill to encourage the development on NEW antibiotics to fight drug resistant infections.
Hmm, that's a much better idea than cutting out the over use of antibiotics in farm animals and humans. Maybe once they make the Super-Antibiotics, they will allow Pharma to force farmers to start giving them to animals and then we can make Super-SuperBugs!

House moves to block Obama coal rule
WASHINGTON (AP) — House Republicans on Tuesday approved a bill that would prevent the Obama administration from imposing a stream-protection rule for coal mining that government experts say would eliminate thousands of jobs.
The administration rule is intended to replace Bush-era regulations that set up buffer zones around waterways and were aimed chiefly at mountaintop removal mining in Appalachia. The House bill would reinstate the 2008 rule, which was thrown out earlier this year by a federal court.
The House approved the measure, 229-192. Ten Democrats joined 219 Republicans in favor of the bill.

The House is taking up a bill to prevent the Obama administration from imposing a stream-protection rule for coal mining that government experts say would eliminate thousands of jobs. The rules are supposed to replace Bush-era regulations that set up buffer zones around streams and were aimed chiefly at mountaintop removal mining in Appalachia. Republicans say they are part of Obama's "war on coal.'' (AP Photo/Jeff Gentner, File)
The White House has threatened to veto the bill, saying it limits states' ability to tailor safeguards to their own needs and wastes millions of dollars adopting a rule that has been vacated by a federal court.
The House bill mirrors a measure approved in 2012 and is unlikely to be taken up in the Democratic-controlled Senate.
Even so, debate on the bill was vigorous. Republicans complained that a rule proposed by the Office of Surface Mining Reclamation and Enforcement is part of what they call President Barack Obama's "war on coal." Lawmakers cited a draft report by the agency indicating that the proposed rule would cost an estimated 7,000 jobs while slashing production across the country.
The rule is intended protect streams from adverse effects of surface mining in states such as West Virginia, Ohio, Kentucky and Pennsylvania, but it would affect coal mines nationwide.
"President Obama talks a big game about being for all-of-the-above" energy sources, said the bill's author, Rep. Bill Johnson, R-Ohio. "But at every turn, he tries to shut down fossil fuels" such as coal.
The Obama administration has spent more than $9 million to develop the new rule, "without a single result," Johnson said. His bill would boost efforts to "stop the war on coal and put in place regulations that are more realistic and effective for both businesses and the environment," Johnson said.
But Rep. Rush Holt, D-N.J., said the bill "ignored the real impacts of mountaintop removal mining" to focus on "the imaginary impacts of a rule."
Holt and other Democrats said the real misconduct was by the Bush administration, which proposed an ineffective rule that did not survive legal scrutiny. Holt denounced a "midnight rule" imposed by the Bush administration in December 2008, a month before President George W. Bush left office.
The rule undermined existing protections put in place by President Ronald Reagan and encouraged mountaintop removal mining, a practice that "destroys wildlife habitat, contaminates surface and drinking water, leads to flooding and ... increases the incidence of cancer, birth defects, lung disease and heart disease in people who live nearby," Holt and eight other Democrats said in a statement opposing the bill.
The House vote came as two other federal agencies proposed a separate rule intended to clarify which streams and wetlands are protected under the Clean Water Act, an issue that remains in dispute even after two U.S. Supreme Court rulings.
The Environmental Protection Agency and the Army Corps of Engineers announced the regulation Tuesday. Under the proposed rule, protection would be extended to most seasonal streams and wetlands near rivers. Others would be evaluated on a case-by-case basis.
EPA Administrator Gina McCarthy said the rule responds to pleas for clarity from state and local officials as well as industry, environmentalists and farmers.
The Clean Water Act gives the government jurisdiction over U.S. waters, but there's disagreement over which are covered. Developers have fought in court against regulation of wetlands and streams that they say should be exempt.

But that is the most useful feature a Web IDE can have.
Still on my todo list is:
- validation (should be easy with the existing parser)
- Outline navigation (should be not that hard either)
- Support <style> tags and inline styles in html files
- I reused WebKit's flex lexer
- then wrote a parser using kdevelop-pg-qt based on WebKits bison grammar. A major difference is that it successfully parses incomplete Css - as it is during writing in the editor.
- The code completion parses the file on invocation and goes through the Ast (resulting from the parser) to find the correct type to show.
- Then, using an XML file borrowed from Aptana's code assist, the shown completion items are determined.
How to test (feedback is very welcome!)

The 2009 Pittsburgh police shootings was a shootout that took place on Saturday, April 4, 2009, at 1016 Fairfield Street in the Stanton Heights neighborhood of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, United States, stemming from an argument over a dog urinating in the house between a mother and her 22-year-old son. At approximately 7:11 a.m. EDT, 22-year-old Richard Poplawski opened fire on two Pittsburgh Police officers responding to a 911 call from Poplawski's mother, who was attempting to get the police officers to remove her son from the home. Three police officers were ultimately confirmed dead, and another two were seriously injured.
According to Chief of Police Nathan Harper, Poplawski was armed with a semi-automatic AK-47-style rifle and two other guns, protected by a bulletproof vest, and had been lying in wait for the officers. According to police and witnesses, he held police at bay for four hours as the fallen officers were left bleeding nearby, their colleagues unable to reach them. More than 600 rounds were fired by the SWAT teams and Poplawski.
The victims were the first Pittsburgh city officers killed in the line of duty for 18 years. The incident was the second-deadliest attack on U.S. law enforcement since the September 11 attacks, following a March 2009 shooting in Oakland, California.
