100 Miles for Paul
Dale Ziegler fundraising for ON EARTH PEACE ASSEMBLY INC
I will be riding 100 miles on my bike to support the 3000 Miles for Peace campaign
Last March Paul called me from McPherson College, where he was a student, and asked if I would be his support vehicle for a ride across the U.S. He was planning to ride the summer of 2015, which would be after his college graduation.
He had been thinking about a ride across the U.S. for some time, and to that end we bought him a road bike for his birthday and high school graduation combined. Paul and I shopped for a bike together to assure a perfect fit. When he saw the price of a high quality road bike, he wanted to help pay for it. He decided to do a fund raiser asking his friends and relatives to sponsor a 50 mile ride. He did the ride and raised about $300.00 to give toward the cost of the bike.
When planning for that ride, Paul asked "What if when I ride across the country, I get sponsors and donate money to world peace?" We encouraged him to keep thinking about that goal. He also thought it would be interesting to meet and pick up riders along the way to join his cause.
Paul was always a person of action. He was a thinker, always trying to figure out the best strategy or angle to win at games, but even more than being a thinker, he was a doer. No matter what he participated in, he put his whole heart into it.
Paul was killed September 23, 2012 while riding his bike. He physically can't ride the miles to fulfill his dream. By riding 100 miles along with many others, the 3000 Miles for Peace campaign through On Earth Peace will undoubtedly ride well beyond Paul's goal.
Please help me reach my goal of $1000 in Paul's honor.

Nikola Pekovic finally landed his fat new contract this week, signing for $60 million over five years. It makes official what had been assumed for the past year: Pekovic is firmly implanted in the core of the Minnesota Timberwolves franchise. There, he's joined by Kevin Love (also making a pretty penny) and Ricky Rubio.
The question is whether that core and the orbiting supplemental pieces are good enough to make the playoffs in 2013-14.
Why is there urgency in Minnesota to win now? The Timberwolves have the league's longest playoff drought (eight years) and Love is getting awfully close to potential free agency (2015) without a single decent team finish to show for it. In addition, no one's sure how long Rick Adelman intends to stay on the sidelines; he remains the franchise's best chance at getting there, as few better coaches ever become available.
One of the problems with assessing the Wolves core is that it barely got a chance to play together in 2012-13. Love missed most of the season with a hand injury, and Rubio and Pekovic each dealt with nagging ailments. There was one two-week stretch in which all three players were available: the last two weeks of December. But that wasn't an accurate representation of how that core can function, primarily because Rubio was extremely rusty coming off of ACL surgery. He didn't break out of a strict minutes limit until Love was already back on the shelf.
But if you go back to 2011-12, you see just how much potential this trio has. Per NBA.com/stats, in 458 minutes, the trio was a +6.7 points per 100 possessions against opponents. That was Rubio's rookie season and Pekovic's first season playing major minutes. Pekovic has vastly improved since then (so much so he was a contender for Most Improved Player last season), and Rubio was better once he shook off the rust last year. And Love is Love: an impeccable scorer, rebounder and passer.
That evidence isn't terribly robust, but it's a positive indicator that a team built around those three players can succeed quite well. Health remains the biggest concern, but that's hard to plot against. You don't replace a player like Love with a bench player. But depth can help mitigate against injuries, and under Flip Saunders, the Wolves are starting to fill out the roster with true NBA contributors, or at least prospects with a good chance of contributing. This will still likely be one of the worst benches in the West, and one injury could definitely ruin the season. But isn't that the case for most clubs?
What concerns me most about the Wolves is the free agency loss of Andrei Kirilenko. The Wolves made huge strides on defense last season, finishing No. 13 in the league. Kirilenko was a huge piece of that, and despite injuries, he finished No. 2 on the team in minutes played. The Wolves added desperately needed shooting with Kevin Martin, but Derrick Williams or whoever is asked to fill AK's role is going to likely be a massive downgrade and we could see those defensive improvements vanish. I trust Adelman to figure out a way to limit the bleeding, but the impact will be felt. Kirilenko is too good for his loss not to be felt.
Williams is the X-factor in all of this. He's only 22, and last season under Adelman, he became a much better (if still inefficient) scorer. With shooting on the wings in the form of Martin, a deadly point guard and big man in Rubio-to-Love and a monster around the rim in Pekovic, Williams providing some inside-out scoring could really rocket the Wolves' offense up from its No. 25 status and help make up for any loss on the defensive side.
The other factor we can't ignore: the West is so good. Minnesota isn't the only team looking to crack into the top eight: New Orleans has made a huge push to get there, Dallas wants to be back in the mix, Portland intends to make it and the Jazz probably feel as though they have a shot. I don't see any 2013 playoff teams openly conceding their spots, so even if things go well, it's going to be a challenge to break into the top eight.
More from SB Nation NBA:
• Pekovic signs big extension, Wolves fans react
• Celtics trade Fab Melo to Grizzlies
• The key to the Warriors' hopes
• Jim Buss: Howard was "never really a Laker"
• Have there been there more coaching changes than usual?

History of Black Salve
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration, heavily populated by former (and future) pharmaceutical-industry executives, has a long history of aggressively attempting to close down businesses that produce holistic healthcare products for cancer and other serious illnesses, even if (especially if) the products work. This often involves raiding, arresting, prosecuting, and imprisoning the owners of the companies. Terrorist raids have become the new cure-all for alternative cancer remedies. – Brevan Potter
A Core black salve ingredient -Blood Root (Sanguinaria Canadensis)
The two core ingredients contained in the modern black salve formula, blood Root (Sanguinaria canadensis) and Chaparral (Larrea mexicata) have a long history of successfully treating a number of health conditions and cancer. Their cancer treatment records go as far back to the Americans Indians, and later, to early European and western physicians.
Dr Eli Jones
Since the American Indians others have applied this knowledge to successfully treat cancer, perhaps the most well known would be Eli Jones (1850-1933) Author of "Cancer - Its Causes, Symptoms and Treatment -Giving the Results of over Forty Years' Experience in the Medical Treatment of this Disease and Definite Medication." Dr. Eli Jones, practiced as far back as the 19th century and prescribed lifestyle changes along with the application of "escharotics" black salves with positive results.
Nurse Rene Caisse & Essiac Tea
There has since been many other "herbalist" who produced anti cancer herbal pastes and used them successfully to treat cancer. These include Dr. Raymond Christopher, who used anti-cancer herbs such as poke root and black walnut bark.
Dr J Weldon Fell who was described in an 1857 American medical journal, operating out of the University of New York, he acquired considerable notoriety in London in curing cancer by a secret formula. The secret formula is not much more than the original American Indian herbal active ingredient, it consisted of bloodroot, zinc chloride and other ingredients. The Zinc Chloride addition makes up one of the core mechanism used in the modern black salve formula. The modern formula has additional anti cancer herbs and inorganic substances like Galangal root, (Alpinia officinarium) , Chaparral (Larrea mexicata), Zinc chloride (Cl2Zn) and DMSO (Dimethylsulphoxidein).
Other early references include a medical text entitled Chemosurgery: Microscopically controlled Surgery for Skin Cancer by Dr. Frederic E. Mohs, B.Sc., M.D. and published by Charles Thomas in 1978. This contains reference to the same basic "escharotic paste" originally described by Eli Jones, Hoxsey, and others. Dr. Mohs was a clinical Professor of Surgery at the University of Wisconsin Medical School.
There is a long suppressed history of herbal applications which successfully treated cancer. Some of these contain the same herbs used in the early and modern black salve formulas (highlighted in BOLD). These include: The Essiac formula: burdock root (Arctium lappa), slippery elm inner bark (Ulmus rubra), sheep sorrel (Rumex acetosella), and Indian rhubarb root (Rheum officinale).
Harry Hoxsey
The Hoxsey formula: included Red clover, Burdock root, Barberry bark, Licorice root, Buckthorn bark, Prickly ash, poke berries and root, Stillingia root, Cascara amarga.
In the mid-1970s, F. Joseph Montagna of Portland, Oregon, developed an herbal formula which, he claimed, produced about an 80% success against cancer. Montagna formula: Chaparral leaves - Dissolves malignant tumors. 2. Bloodroot - Purifies and cleanses bloodstream. 3. Red clover blossoms - Antidote to cancer. 4. Burdock root - Neutralizes and eliminates toxins. 5. Echinacea root - Natural herbal antitoxin. 6. Goldenseal root - Kills poisons, equalizes circulation. 7. Comfrey leaves - Relieves pain, establishes normal conditions. 8. Ginseng root - Stimulates vital cell processes.
Larrea Mexicana, also known as Greasewood is part of the Zygophyllaceae plant family. Chaparral originates from Southwestern United States and northern Mexico .
Dr Richard Shulze Dr John Christopher Bruess (sage).
Dr Richard Shulze salve: Red Clover Blossoms, Garlic cloves, Poke root, goldenseal, activated charcoal, Tea Tree Oil, Bentonite clay, Slippery Elm inner bark.
Iscador/Mistletoe Cannabis Carnivora Chaparral Garlic Echinacea Red Clover Mushrooms Cayenne Pepper
Despite the long history of these ingredients being used effectively, modern researchers are trying to "rediscover" their therapeutic properties. If they applied them as they have done prior in history, there would be no doubt that they have function as recorded.
Researchers at the Medical University of South Carolina have shown a Chaparral extract may shrink some tumours. Chaparral tea was widely used in the US as an alternative anti-cancer agent from the late 1950s to the 1970s. Chaparral for cancer
It is no surprise that these results have never had a clear passage to the public, there is an immense record of a conflict of interest with the pharmaceutical industries (who are unregulated and contribute to the FDA) Bloodroot, Chinese Medicine, and the FDA - Keeping the Public Medically Ignorant
Today however the history of black salve remains alive through the many that have followed the success from others. They have posted video, photo and essay testimonials on the web which all report a statistical efficacy in the successful treatment of black salve. However your oncologist can never be formally trained in the use of this treatment in the present medical climate. The herbal formula that makes up black salve contains natural ingredients. Natural therapies cannot be patented and monopolized by pharmaceutical interests for profit.
Drug companies cannot make as much money from this alternative cancer treatment over their present prescription of synthetic drugs or surgery. It is a whole other needed website to document the human impact of the politics of multinational industry, including medical and biotech corporations.
Your role in helping us obtain medical proof of this treatment can complete the true history of black salve , one that is long overdue, a future of health freedom and of a true non toxic treatment.

The Container Store has made POP!, its customer loyalty and engagement, available in its 66 existing stores and on its website.
The Container Store posted a 0.8% decline in same-store sales in the first quarter, its first decline in the metric in 16 quarters.
The Container Store increased net income by about 800% year-over-year during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013, to $18.34 million from $2.09 million.
By most accounts, 2013 was a banner year for IPOs. According to Renaissance Capital, a total of 222 companies went public in 2013, marking the best year for the IPO market since 2000. As we predicted in a previous article in Chain Store Age, the retail and consumer products industry played a key role in this IPO activity, accounting for 19 offerings and $8.3 billion in proceeds. This marked a notable increase from the number of offerings seen in 2012 (15) and 2011 (12), according to Renaissance Capital.
The Container Store on Friday, Nov. 1, began trading on the New York Stock Exchange, under the ticker symbol "TCS."
E-commerce solution-provider Borderfree said it has partnered with The Container Store to expand the chain's international e-commerce reach in time for the holidays.
The Container Store late Monday filed a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission for an initial public stock offering.
Let the games begin.
Retailers are gearing up for the Super Bowl of the holiday-selling season, when stores generate up to 40% of their annual sales and boost their staffs in light of the heightened shopping spree.
As technology reshapes the retail landscape at a dizzying pace, it's also advancing the art and science of aligning sales and traffic patterns with in-store labor — particularly crucial during the make-or-break winter selling period.
The Container Store has launched an upgraded mobile web experience in partnership with mobile and multichannel technology provider Usablenet.
Talend said Monday that The Container Store is deploying Talend Enterprise Data Integration to simplify, standardize and move data across multiple platforms.
The SPECS conference, presented each year by Chain Store Age, will debut a real estate track as part of the 49th annual event.
Apple, Costco and The Container Store top the "2012 100 Best Retailers To Work For" list compiled by The Retail Life online retail community, which was developed by Headway Workforce Solutions. DSW and American Eagle outfitters round out the top five.
The Container Store is expanding its presence in Florida with three new locations set to open in 2013.
The Container Store said it will open three Florida locations in 2013 – in Orlando, Tampa and Boca Raton – joining its two existing Sunshine State stores in Hallandale Beach and Miami.
Kudos to The Container Store for considering the human element in the technology it deploys.
The Container Store has selected the Retail Enterprise Suite signage solution from Episys to produce high-quality signage and boost promotional effectiveness and customer service across its stores nationwide.
The Container Store credits its "employees-first" culture as integral to its success, believing that if you make employees your highest priority, they in turn will take better care of customers. It's a business model that extends to all facets of the chain's operations — including the decision to deploy a voice-directed warehouse picking system.
Mobile and social marketing platform-provider Zmags said Thursday that The Container Store has selected Zmags Professional to create interactive digital catalogs designed deepen customer engagement across all channels.
The Container Store said it will be the anchor tenant of The Corner, a new 35,000-sq.-ft. retail center to be built on the corner of Westshore Boulevard and Spruce Street opposite International Plaza, in Tampa, Fla.
The Container Store said it has enlisted Epsilon, a subsidiary of marketing solution-provider Alliance Data Systems Corp., for comprehensive data and database marketing services.
Lucas Systems, a provider of voice directed warehouse applications, announced that The Container Store has installed Jennifer VoicePlus for voice picking in the retailer's Dallas- area, 1.1 million-sq.-ft. distribution center.

Appliances on the Edge
Can You Just Level with Me?
I'm getting ready for dinner, when I hear this overwhelming rumbling noise—the house is shaking! I try to imagine what it could be:
Then I realize it's coming from the laundry room…
Oh, NO! Can't I get just ONE appliance that works? As I round the corner, I can see that my washing machine is doing some sort of "dance". I run over and switch it to the OFF position. But, now what?
Here's what my favorite website tells me to do:

State officials warn blowing snow and warming temperatures on Friday could create icy conditions on many South Dakota roads.
Several crashes were reported Friday morning where, officials say, drivers hit patches of ice and ended up in the ditch.
Officials want to remind drivers to slow down and turn off cruise control even if conditions on roads look clear.
Our KELOLAND Weather team says starting late Friday afternoon, strong winds will accompany a cold front that will sweep across the state. This cold front will cause temperatures to drop throughout the weekend. Right now, Monday's highs will be -10 to -15. Read more details in the latest Storm Center Update.
Because of the extreme cold, state officials say people who must travel should drive with extreme caution. They encourage you to visit Safe Travel USA's website or call 511 for the latest road conditions.

Sammy Halbert. On it. Look how much of the loose dirt is spat on the wheel rims.

OK, I admit we don't follow softball so much; I don't think I can name one player on the team. But, this is awesome, and the Tigresses deserve the credit. Yesterday I just happened to see them while channel surfing. I saw about 10 minutes of the game, and it was the only 10 minutes that mattered. We were down 1 run and MO had the bases loaded with one out. The CF caught a line drive and threw out the runner at home in a fantastic play. A few minutes later it was our CF at bat with the bases loaded and one out. She knocked in 3, and that was that.

Zoosk's Mayan 'Armageddon Survey' results reveal what Americans' think about the end of the world
Zoosk.com , a romantic social network, conducted a survey with more than 4,000 of its members in the U.S. to gather their thoughts about December 21st. Members were questioned if they are preparing for it and how the idea of the end of the world would affect their plans.
"With all the coverage about the end of the world according to the Mayan calendar, we thought it would be fascinating to ask people about the choices they would make in the face of Armageddon," said Alex Mehr, co-founder and co-CEO of Zoosk.
- Forget the hype about the end of the world - Americans are feeling optimistic about Dec. 21, 2012.
• 93% of Americans think the world will not come to an end on Dec. 21, 2012.
• Only 25% of Americans will do any kind of preparation for Dec. 21, such as buying survival gear and emergency supplies.
- Love can endure Armageddon!
• 68% of Americans say they would stay in the relationship they are currently in even if they believed the world were coming to an end.
• 34% of Americans would like to spend their last day on Earth snuggling with a loved one.
- The last day on Earth would not bring out the worst in us.
• Only 5% would max out their credit cards.
• Only 1% would tell-off their boss.
Zoosk conducted the survey online in November 2012. The survey garnered 4,094 responses from members of Zoosk in the U.S.

Call Us!
8am - 4pm pacific time
We often call the producers of our fine foods "nice folks" or "good people" - but it's never been as true as it is with Oregon Growers & Shippers. Dave Gee, the founder of OGS is just as nice as can be...maybe it's the water in the Columbia River.
These fruit spreads are all made from the freshest, most seasonal fruit, purchased directly from sustainable farmers across Oregon. The three flavors we're offering are quintessential Oregon - black cherries, marionberries, pears and hazelnuts. The Pure Strawberry captures the essence of summer, this is insanely delicious spread on a slice of toasted whole wheat or nut bread. The Marionberry is an Oregon treasure - always capitalized because it's a variety of berry, not a type of berry! Sweet, tart and just a little earthy, ths Marionberry spread is perfect for a warm oat scone. The Blueberry fruit spread is wonderful on pound cake, ice cream or toasted levain bread.
Posted by Dana P on 22nd Aug 2012
I love the marionberry spread. It is very fruity and not very sugary, which I really appreciate. I am always on the hunt for great berry jams, and this is definitely one of my favorites. It's really good with almond butter!

Cue competition effects and young children's causal and counterfactual inferences
McCormack, Teresa, Butterfill, Stephen A. (Stephen Andrew), Hoerl, Christoph and Burns, P. (Patrick). (2009) Cue competition effects and young children's causal and counterfactual inferences. Developmental Psychology, Vol.45 (No.6). pp. 1563-1575. ISSN 0012-1649Full text not available from this repository.
Official URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.1037/a0017408
The authors examined cue competition effects in young children using the blicket detector paradigm, in which objects are placed either singly or in pairs on a novel machine and children must judge which objects have the causal power to make the machine work. Cue competition effects were found in a 5- to 6-year-old group but not in a 4-year-old group. Equivalent levels of forward and backward blocking were found in the former group. Children's counterfactual judgments were subsequently examined by asking whether or not the machine would have gone off in the absence of I of 2 objects that had been placed on it as a pair. Cue competition effects were demonstrated only in 5- to 6-year-olds using this mode of assessing causal reasoning.

Archives and Cultural Memory under Fire : Destruction and the Post-war Nationalist Transformation
Robert J. Donia
University of Michigan
Speaker Biography:
Robert Donia received his Ph.D. in history at the University of Michigan in 1976. He is a Research Associate at the University of Michigan's Center for Russian and East European Studies and a Visiting Scholar at the University of California at San Diego. He is the author of Islam under the Double Eagle: The Muslims of Bosnia and Hercegovina, 1878-1914 (1981), and with John V.A. Fine, co-author of Bosnia and Hercegovina: A Tradition Betrayed (1994). He recently completed a book on the history of Sarajevo.
The Historical Museum (formerly the Museum of the Revolution) in Sarajevo was a dismal place to visit in May 2004. The lights were off and the heat was not working. The museum's director and staff were huddled over lukewarm coffee in a corner of the conference room. The museum's employees welcomed the foreign visitor warmly, as they always had, but staff members were deeply preoccupied with the prolonged financial crisis facing their institution. None of them had been paid in five months. The museum had received nothing of the paltry appropriation designated for it in the budget of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina, and an appeal for a partial payment for sustenance had just failed. The staff openly discussed the possibility of closing the doors and going home.
A few hundred meters away, the visitor encountered a very different situation. The Bosniak Institute, a structure completed in the late 1990's, is an architectural tour-de-force, combining modern elements with a preserved sixteenth century Turkish bath in the heart of the new edifice. The lavish quarters include a meeting hall and several small conference rooms adorned with working fountains and exquisite Oriental tiles. A temperature-controlled library holds carefully preserved books and manuscripts. Readers are served by professional librarians and archivists using computerized finding aids. Anywhere in the world, the Bosniak Institute would be a researcher's dream.
The Historical Museum and Bosniak Institute represent extremes in the transformation of memorial institutions in Sarajevo that began shortly after Bosnia's multiparty elections of 1990. Orchestrated by the nationalist parties that prevailed in that election, the changes threaten to destroy the custodial institutions of Bosnia's richly diverse history and culture. The destruction of that legacy began with artillery and mortar assaults in wartime, but its continuation by other means in the postwar era threatens to ruin much of the country's historical heritage as recorded in documents and artifacts.
The Obliteration of Memory
Sarajevo, the capital of Bosnia and Herzegovina, was home to most major archives, libraries, institutes, and museums in the republic as of 1990. Most were formed during the first decade of socialist rule (1945-1955). The National and University Library was founded in 1945, and in 1949 it acquired the confiscated libraries of the cultural societies of Serbs, Croats, Muslims (later known as Bosniaks), and Jews. But many institutions of memory traced their origins to the Provincial Museum (Zemaljski muzej), organized in 1888 under the auspices of Austro-Hungarian administrators as an omnibus institution functioning as an archive, library, museum, and scientific institute.
In 1991, representatives of the leading nationalist parties considered a scheme to dismember the library – by then grown to many times its original acquisitions – and distribute its holdings along national lines. War broke out before their plans could be implemented. But war proved to provide the occasion and pretext for widespread destruction of institutions of memory, with the Bosnian Serb nationalists conducting the most methodical and widespread campaign. In spring and summer 1992, while holding the city of Sarajevo in siege, they annihilated the Oriental Institute with its priceless collection of manuscripts; the National and University Library with over 2,000,000 volumes; and the Olympic Museum with its artifacts from the 1984 Winter Olympic Games. Other institutions were damaged by shelling and sniper fire. The vast destruction evoked world-wide condemnation and promises of aid to rebuild the ruined institutions. But except for token donations, those promises were forgotten long before the hostilities came to a close.
The Bosnian Serb nationalist assault, although widespread, was highly selective. Each of the three major institutions noted above was representative of the city's multiethnic life, and the Oriental Institute held the treasures of the Ottoman era so despised by Serb nationalists. But other institutions experienced only isolated damage. The Provincial Museum, with its vast holdings of natural science treasures and pre-Ottoman tombstones known as stećci, was only a few meters from the front line for almost four years. It sustained damage from artillery and mortar strikes, but it was spared the wholesale annihilation suffered by the National and University Library.
The Historical Museum, with its superb library, archive, and artifacts dating largely from the Second World War, was also close to the front line. The comings and goings of its staff members were visible to Serb snipers in high-rise buildings across the river. To discourage direct attacks, staff members wore the blue workers' coats so familiar as the uniform of archivists in socialist Yugoslavia. The strategy worked, and the Historical Museum emerged from the war with little damage to its building and holdings. The Serbs' relative inattention to the Historical Museum may be due to another factor: Serb nationalists are ambivalent about the Partisan resistance movement of the Second World War. They despise its communist elements, but view it as a Serbian uprising that was treacherously betrayed by Tito and other enemies of the Serbian people. Most Serb nationalists did not see the museum's artifacts and documents as inimically hostile to their nationalist point of view.
The Segmentation of Memory
With the coming of peace, Sarajevo's institutions of memory were subjected to a less spectacular but no less pernicious threat to their existence. Two products of American diplomacy, the Washington Agreement of March 1994 and the Dayton Peace Agreement of late 1995, recognized and created governmental bodies under the control of nationalist parties that had taken power in the 1990 elections. The central institutions of state were left with few powers and no significant taxing authority. As a result, by the late 1990's most institutions of memory had fallen under the jurisdiction of governmental bodies that were committed to one or more nationalist agendas.
With no effective central government to take over from the pre-war Socialist Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina, institutions of memory were divvied up among political units that normally viewed them as budgetary burdens. The ten cantons that made up the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina were charged with supporting education and some institutions of memory. Most heavily encumbered was the Canton of Sarajevo. Leaders of the Sarajevo canton, mostly Bosniaks by nationality, were generous in supporting institutions of learning and memory, but the canton's tax base was a small fraction of that enjoyed by the pre-war republic. The Institute for History in Sarajevo and the Historical Archive of Sarajevo are among those that receive support from the canton, but their funding is far from sufficient to return those institutions to full functionality. Additionally, the Historical Archive was expelled from its premises of several decades to make way for the construction of the Bosniak Institute in the city center. It was forced to house many of its holdings in remote warehouses under uncertain conditions.
During and after the war, Croat and Serb leaders established rival institutions of memory and denigrated Sarajevo's institutions as "Bosniak" or "Muslim." In Croat-controlled West Mostar, nationalists used funds provided by the European Union to reconstruct the city's library and renamed it the "National Library." The title leaves unspecified the "nation" to which the library belongs, but the strident Croatian nationalism displayed at the Library's festive opening in July 1995 left little doubt that the library was a Croatian cultural institution. In the Republika Srpska, the former "National and University Library Petar Kocić" was renamed the "National Library of the Republika Srpska" and promoted as a counterpart to the Sarajevo institution, which was characterized as a Bosniak or Bosnian Muslim library.
The trifurcation of key libraries and archives has been accompanied by studied neglect of those institutions that are not dedicated to nationalist causes. The plight of the Historical Museum is shared by other institutions of memory in Sarajevo. Six such organizations are wholly dependent on the Federation for support and had received no funds at all for 2004 as of May. They include the Provincial Museum of Bosnia and Herzegovina. An American colleague visiting that institution in May 2004 also found the lights out, the staff demoralized, and the institution closed except by special appointment.
The post-war political structure has orphaned the most important institutions of memory in Bosnia and Herzegovina, fragmented many of them, and weakened those that have not been divided. Some have already been destroyed. The "Young Bosnia" museum, one of several display areas belonging to the City Museum of Sarajevo, was closed for some years and its contents relegated to the basement of the Jewish synagogue.
The Archive of Bosnia and Herzegovina, founded in the 1940's, is a classic case of an institution victimized by the complex, fragmented political structure. The archival staff successfully resisted a Bosnian Serb proposal to separate the institution's holdings into "Serb" and "non-Serb" collections, a plan that would have created a squabble over millions of archival documents and hopelessly complicated the storage and retrieval of documents. But the compromise solution produced an administrative nightmare. The institution was divided nominally into the "Archive of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina," placing it under the jurisdiction of Croat and Bosniak (Muslim) nationalists, and the "Archive of Bosnia and Herzegovina," meant to encompass both the Federation and the Republika srpska. Since the practice in the Federation was to have a director of one nationality (Croat or Bosniak) and a deputy director of the other, the Federation archive required two large offices for its Director and Deputy Director.
In the interest of parity, the "Archive of Bosnia and Herzegovina" also had a director and deputy director, meaning that four directors in the post-war world took the place of two pre-war officials. In the ensuing war of egos, the archive's users were driven from the spacious pre-war reading room (now converted to an office for a deputy director) into the photography dark room deep in the bowels of the archival stacks. Much of the institution's meager budget is devoted to supporting a massive administrative superstructure while documents are at risk from moisture and insect damage and users are forced into cramped quarters in the decaying Presidency building.
The Privatization of Memory
Several new institutions have arisen in post-war Sarajevo. The most prominent one, already described briefly above, is the "Bosniak Institute," a project of Adil Zulfikarpašić, a former Partisan from a wealthy Bosnian Muslim landowning family who moved to Switzerland after the Second World War. In Zurich, he went into the construction business and multiplied the family fortune many times over. He established the Bosniak Institute in Zurich and began assembling books, periodicals, documents, and artifacts from the Bosniak past.
After the war, Zulfikarpašić established a Sarajevo office of the Bosniak Institute and used it to gather more books and manuscripts. In 1998 he struck an agreement with city officials to purchase the old Turkish bath building and to relocate the holdings of the Bosniak Institute to Sarajevo. The new plans demanded the demolition of an older structure which housed the extensive holdings of the Historical Archive of Sarajevo.
The new Bosniak Institute constitutes a triumph of privately-financed Bosniak nationalism over both national rivals and non-nationalist secular institutions. It promises to be the premiere institution of written social memory in Bosnia and Hercegovina, and it will be under the exclusive control of a founding father of twentieth century Bosniak nationalism or his heirs.
Two other new organizations, each devoted to the study of war crimes and genocide, were founded in Sarajevo during the war. While both received government funding at one time, each receives private funding as well. (I have been unable to learn anything more about their funding sources.) These institutions are performing valuable functions in documenting the crimes of the recent war, and one cannot quarrel with the social benefits they provide. But their humming computers and busy staffs only highlight the plight of the orphaned institutions that are slowly being strangled by neglect. The privatized world of memory is becoming a highly selective one, and it is increasingly challenging to preserve the historical record apart from those themes deemed urgent by the nationalist elites.
The national cultural societies of the Bosniaks and Croats, called Preporod and Napredak respectively, have resumed their earlier pre-eminence in gathering and preserving materials from the histories of their respective peoples. The libraries of each have benefited from donations of books by prominent scholars in their advanced years or upon their deaths. In the Republika Srpska, a similar role has been taken up by Prosvjeta, the Serb cultural society that was founded and once housed in Sarajevo. The three cultural societies have recreated a tri-opoly of Bosnia's institutions of memory under the jurisdiction of nationalist elites.
Bosnia's institutions of memory have undergone a major transformation since the multiparty elections of 1990, as illustrated by the fate of those located in the city of Sarajevo. During the war and prolonged siege of 1992-1995, Bosnian Serb nationalist forces destroyed key institutions of memory while leaving others largely untouched. But the peace agreements and postwar political structures have devastated many of those that survived the wartime destruction. Nationalist elites have trifurcated libraries and cultural societies while strangling many institutions through neglect.
It is difficult to see a future for most of these organizations. There is no possibility of replicating the wartime global outrage provoked by images of libraries and museums aflame and in ruins. In any case, that outrage did not translate into meaningful financial support from outside Bosnia for reconstitution of the lost collections. The nationalists are on the verge of prevailing in their effort to reformulate the fundamental sources of historical inquiry for future generations. It remains uncertain whether they will exercise their newly-acquired control for the benefit of all or only to advance the interests of their particular constituencies.

Technote (troubleshooting)
User runs a consolidation (e.g. Consolidate with Status) which includes AFC calculations. After this has finished running, user opens the 'batch queue'. Intermittently, inside the 'batch queue' there is an error message (in the job details).
<time> Advanced Formula Calculation is started.
Error in AFC:!java.lang.OutOfMemoryError!
Execution of AFC not OK for: xxxxx
<time + x> Advanced Formula Calculation is finished
NOTE: The error does appear all the time (intermittent issue).
The JAVA JRE environment (which hosts the AFC calculation engine) has run out of memory.
More Information:
By default, the version of JRE that comes with Controller 10.1.1308 (and earlier) has the following memory limitations:
- Initial RAM = 256 Mb
- Maximum RAM = 512 Mb
By default, the version of JRE that comes with Controller 10.1.1 FP1 (10.1.1671) and later has its RAM settings 'dynamically' configured.
- In other words, the JRE will attempt to allocate as much RAM as it needs (using its own algorithm) without fixed limitations.
Problem could potentially affect any environment, but it is much more likely for customers who are:
(1) Using versions of Controller *before* 10.1.1 FP1 (10.1.1671)
(2) Running multiple batch process servers.
- For example, in the following real-life example the customer is running 3:
- The intermittent nature of the problem is explained by the fact that (randomly) there may have multiple concurrent AFC jobs running that swamp the available memory for the JAVA JRE environment.
Diagnosing the problem
To check what the current default JAVA memory configuration is (on the Controller application server), perform the following:
1. Launch a Command Prompt
2. Change directory to the folder where the Controller JAVA is located, for example:
cd C:\Program Files\IBM\cognos\c10\bin\jre\6.0\bin
3. Run the following command:
java -verbose:sizes -version
Resolving the problem
Upgrade Controller to version 10.1.1 FP1 (10.1.1671) or later.
TIP: After upgrading to Controller 10.1.1 FP1, you must:
- Open the "...C10\server" folder.
- By default this is located here: C:\Program Files (x86)\IBM\cognos\c10\server
- Check to see if a file 'CCRProxy.options' exists in there.
- By default it will not exist, but it may have been created in the past to overcome a similar problem (see below)
- If the file 'CCRProxy.options' exists, then delete it
- This is to ensure that its values do not overwrite the default (good) behaviour of the new JRE.
(1) Reduce the number of batch services running to 1
or (2) Increase the available memory available to the 32-bit JRE (Java environment).
Steps for (2) - to increase the available memory to the 32-bit JRE
NOTE: This can give more stability (fewer errors), but it *may* not solve the problem 100% entirely.
IMPORTANT: The settings should *only* be changed if using 10.1.1308 (and earlier)
- If using Controller (10.1.1671) and later then the file "CCRProxy.options" should NOT be used (or even exist - delete the file if necessary!) since this version of Controller already correctly/dynamically allocates memory in its JRE.
- Logon to the Controller application server as a Windows administrator
- Browse to the folder ...c10\server (TIP: By default, this is here: C:\Program Files (x86)\IBM\cognos\c10\server)
- Check to see if the file CCRProxy.options exists. By default this file will not exist. If it does exist then (as a precaution) create a backup of the file (for example, copy it to CCRProxy.options.backup)
- Save the file CCRProxy.options (attached to this Technote) inside that folder
- Right-click on "My Computer" and choose "Manage"
- Open the section "Services"
- Restart the Windows service "IBM Cognos Controller Java Proxy"
More Information:
The file should contain two parameters, which contains the memory sizes for initial and maximum heap size. The attached file contains the following text:
By using this file, you increase (double) the maximum heap size from the default (512Mb) to 1024 Mb. 1024Mb should be enough for most customer's needs, although (naturally) it can be increased if necessary.
- TIP: Naturally you must ensure that your Controller application server has sufficient memory physically installed in the server, so that it can cope with this extra memory requirement.

Fundamentals of Securing Databases (FSD)
Who should attend
Securing Databases is an intense 2-day database security training workshop/seminar essential for DBAs and developers who need to produce secure database applications and manage secure databases. In addition to teaching basic skills, this course digs deep into sound processes and practices that apply to the entire software development life-cycle. Perhaps just as significantly, students learn about current, real examples that illustrate the potential consequences of not following these best practices.
Data, databases, and related resources are at the heart of most IT infrastructures. These assets can have high value from a business, regulatory, and liability perspective. In this course, students repeatedly attack and then defend various assets associated with a fully-functional database. This approach illustrates the mechanics of how to secure databases in the most practical of terms.
This is an intermediate-level database course, designed for those who wish to get up and running on developing well defended database applications. This course may be customized to suit your team's unique objectives.
Familiarity with databases is required and real world experience is highly recommended. Ideally, students should have approximately 6 months to a year of database working knowledge.
Course Objectives
Students who attend Securing Databases will leave the course armed with the skills required to recognize actual and potential database vulnerabilities, implement defenses for those vulnerabilities, and test those defenses for sufficiency.
This course quickly introduces students to the most common security vulnerabilities faced by databases today. Each vulnerability is examined from a database perspective through a process of describing the threat and attack mechanisms, recognizing associated vulnerabilities, and, finally, designing, implementing, and testing effective defenses. Multiple practical demonstrations reinforce these concepts with real vulnerabilities and attacks. Students are then challenged to design and implement the layered defenses they will need in defending their own databases.
Working in a dynamic learning environment attendees will learn to:
- Understand the consequences for not properly handling untrusted data such as denial of service, cross-site scripting, and injections
- Be able to test databases with various attack techniques to determine the existence of and effectiveness of layered defenses
- Prevent and defend the many potential vulnerabilities associated with untrusted data
- Understand the concepts and terminology behind supporting, designing, and deploying secure databases
- Appreciate the magnitude of the problems associated with data security and the potential risks associated with those problems
- Understand the currently accepted best practices for supporting the many security needs of databases.
- Understand the vulnerabilities associated with authentication and authorization within the context of databases and database applications
- Be able to detect, attack, and implement defenses for authentication and authorization functionality
- Understand the dangers and mechanisms behind Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) and Injection attacks
- Be able to detect, attack, and implement defenses against XSS and Injection attacks
- Understand the concepts and terminology behind defensive, secure, coding
- Understand the use of Threat Modeling as a tool in identifying software vulnerabilities based on realistic threats against meaningful assets
- Perform both static reviews and dynamic database testing to uncover vulnerabilities
- Design and develop strong, robust authentication and authorization implementations
- Understand the fundamentals of Digital Signatures as well as how it can be used as part of the defensive infrastructure for data
- Understand the fundamentals of Encryption as well as how it can be used as part of the defensive infrastructure for data
This class is "technology-centric", designed to train attendees in essential secure database skills, coupling the most current, effective techniques with the soundest industry practices.
The course provides a solid foundation in basic terminology and concepts, extended and built upon throughout the engagement. Students will examine various recognized attacks against data and databases. Processes and best practices are discussed and illustrated through both discussions and group activities.
What's included?
Students who attend Securing Database Fundamentals will leave the course armed with the skills required to recognize actual and potential software vulnerabilities, implement defenses for those vulnerabilities, and test those defenses for sufficiency.
Although this training is skills-centric, this course can be delivered on of a variety of database products. Please inquire for details and options.
Duration: 2 days
Currently there are no training dates scheduled for this course. Training date request

Putting his heart and soul into his music, Scott Solsky is building a hunger in NH
Scott Solsky, 38Home: Concord
Birthplace: Rochester
Family: Katy Brown Solsky, Cadence Solsky, Athan Solsky, Miles Solsky
High school: Noble High School, Berwick, Maine
College/post-grad degrees:
Attended University of Southern Maine. Currently completing degree at Southern New Hampshire University
Current job: Music educator, Shaker Road School; executive director, Granite State Music festival; performing musician; dad
Most admired person (outside your family): Nels Cline, guitar genius
Key current professional challenge: To enhance New Hampshire's music culture through education and visibility.
Last major achievement: Creation of the Granite State Music Festival
Favorite place in New Hampshire: My hometown, Concord.
"I started playing music when I was 14," he said. "I was instantly in love." He said his parents were indifferent, probably figuring it was a passing interest, and didn't offer music lessons.
But Solsky persevered. "I was self taught 'til I went to college," he said.
He was determined to make a career of his music and he has. "If you really put your heart in it," he said, it is possible to make a living with music. Even in New Hampshire, he said. Or, maybe, especially in New Hampshire, he said, although you have to really want it.
He acknowledges it requires some juggling. He teaches at Shaker Road School, offers private lessons, was the driving force behind launching the Granite State Music Festival and performs with several groups, including Romeo Bonapart.
Solsky said the group's last name was chosen to honor his French-Canadian grandfather, also a musician, who had anglicized his name to Goodchild.
Solsky said he learned, too late, that his grandfather's name had been Bonenfant, not Bonapart.
During the school year, he said, he plays two or three times a week, but in the summer, he's on stage or in the spotlight four or five times a week with one group or another.
He plays a number of instruments, but he usually performs as a jazz guitarist, although he's also into a mix of jazz and electronic music - "jazztronic" - performing in clubs throughout New England in a quartet called Brasbe.
His "baby" is the Granite State Music Festival, of which he is the executive director. Last year, the first year, Solsky said: "We really relied a lot on sponsors and the community." His goal, he said, "is ticket sales supporting it." As the festival continues and word spreads, he believes that will happen and there will be more money to support music education.
This year's festival will be in late June, the exact dates and venue aren't firmed up, but it will be in Concord, he said, because it's a central location, easy to reach from many directions.
Some people may be surprised to hear it, he said, "but New Hampshire is an amazing music community." In Concord alone, there are a half-dozen places that offer live music, including True Brew Barista, Hermanos and the Barley House.
Solsky sees the combination of teaching and performing as helping to build audience, as well as appreciation, for live music.
"The kids see me out in the community performing it," he said. For some, it's the first time they've seen professional live music.
He's determined that more people will be able to see and hear high-quality live music and want to be a part of the music scene in New Hampshire. He said there are musicians who think they need to go to New York, but although their skills are competitive, the jobs are scarce.
When they come back, they find more opportunity to actually perform here, he said, and he's looking to increase those opportunities by building a hunger for live music in New Hampshire.
