We have a structure of calling helper exes and passing them command line arguments to control their execution. Since command line arguments can be seen and hence can be passed by other applications. We want our exes to be called only by us. How can we achieve this with minimum change and keep the current structure of passing command line arguments intact?
Edit 1
Can the caller be identified? e.g. call helper exe as child and identify parent

Mackenzie Huber holds the poster she submitted for the Lions International Peace Poster Contest.
- Filed Under
Mackenzie Huber, a seventh-grade student at Colby Middle School, has taken the first step to becoming an internationally recognized artist by winning a local competition sponsored by the Curtiss Lions Club.
Mackenzie's poster was among more than 375,000 entries submitted worldwide in the 26th annual Lions International Peace Poster Contest.
"My poster shows numerous ethnic hands joining together around the globe to create world peace," the 13-year-old from Colby said.
The poster was selected by the Curtiss Lions Club members for its originality, artistic merit and portrayal of the contest theme, "Our World, Our Future." The judging was held Nov. 4 at the Curtiss Lions Community Center. Her poster will advance to face stiff competition through the district, multiple district and international rounds of competition if she is to be declared the international grand prize winner.

The event took place from the 28-30th September 2013 and was coordinated by Peace Corps volunteer Charlie Merrow who is Special Olympics South Africa Youth Initiatives Coordinator. Over 80 youth from four mainstream high schools and three special schools participated in the retreat. Thabang Kgalidi, a learner from Lebone II College, explained, "I was in a room full of "special people" but I could not tell who was disabled and who was not because everyone in there was capable of doing all that I could do. So the summit to me was an eye opener for tolerance towards all different kinds of people."

Cop Killer YKTTW Discussion
|Cop Killer
The murder of a police officer is deathly serious business.Up For Grabs
OP's note: I browsed the Crime and Punishment Tropes list and couldn't find this. Do We Have This One?? Seems hard to believe we don't, but I haven't had much luck finding it.
Rolling Updates, Needs a Better DescriptionA staple of the Criminal Procedural when the writers want to create a "This Time It's Personal" episode. Pretty much Exactly What It Says on the Tin: a criminal kills a cop and the dead officer's colleagues have to avenge him. These episodes frequently end with Police Brutality, as cop killing is a rather serious business. When the cops find the cop killer, they don't treat him very well. No Real Life Examples apart from generalizations, please. We all know this happens in real life; no need to go into specifics. The inverse of Killer Cop, a cop who is a murderer, although in some cases they overlap.

- In New Police Story, Chan Kwok Wing hunts down a group of heavily armed robbers who don't give a second thought about gunning down police officers. The main bad guy, Joe, is motivated to do this because he was physically abused as a child by his police officer father, who had gained a high-ranking position by the time the movie begins.

He was scheduled to be released sometime in the 1980s, with good behavior.
Live-Action TV
- In CSI there are a few notable examples.
- The Red Shirt who gets killed when Warrick leaves her alone at a crime scene in the pilot.
- A random officer who's killed outside a burger joint...by another cop who claims it was an accident, but might have had a grudge ( it was dark and said cop was losing his vision).
- Warrick Brown was killed at the end of a later season by The Undersheriff.
- Due South begins with the murder of a Royal Canadian Mounted Policeman in the wilderness of the Northwest Territories. The plot of the pilot episode centers around his son, Benton Fraser (also a Mountie) , teaming up with a Chicago detective to track down the killer after he crosses the border into the United States. It turns out the killer was hired by another Mountie, a close friend of the Frasers, no less.
- Blue Bloods:
- In "Officer Down" a patrol officer is mortally wounded when she blunders into the path of mafia-affiliated diamond thieves while coming back from lunch. The Mafia itself joins in hunting them down, because cop killers put the whole department on edge and make life difficult. Grandpa Henry Reagan remarks that when he was on the force the mafia even had explicit rules that, outside of certain circumstances, cops were off-limits. The killer gets cornered, tries to shoot his way out, and is hosed down with lead by several detectives and an ESU team.
- In "The Bitter End" Jamie Reagan and his partner Vinny Cruz are lured into a housing project by a Latino gang with a beef against the NYPD. It's an ambush, and Vinny is fatally shot. End of the next episode, what seems like half the NYPD storms the place and makes over 40 arrests on various charges, including Vinny's murder.
- From the 1960s Dragnet series:
- Discussed in one episode. While appearing on a talk show Joe Friday explains to a TV audience that the reason cop killers get such a heavy response from the department isn't just because it's their friend. To paraphrase, if someone's willing to kill a cop, would they hesitate to kill a civilian?
- In another episode two officers, a rookie and his training officer, are shot apprehending bank robbers, one of whom escapes. The older officer dies shortly after coming out of surgery and, according to the end of the episode, the captured robber was sentenced to death.
- Criminal Minds has a number of unsubs who've killed cops. The most notable was one in the episode "Brothers in Arms" with an unsub that targets policemen. In another episode, there was a cop-killing unsub who turned out to be a cop himself.
- The Mentalist had a Serial Killer who targeted police officers as the focus of the episode "Red Moon".
- In the last few minutes of The Shield's pilot episode, Strike Team newcomer Terry Crowley gets shot in the head by none other than Vic Mackey.
- Homicide Life On The Street did this at least twice, with the same twist both times: the cop killer is himself killed shortly afterward, and the unlucky detective assigned to the case finds that nobody cares about justice for a dead cop killer.
- "End Game" has a racist Smug Snake (played by Steve Buscemi) get away with cop killing and practically brag about it — only to be shot dead in the last few minutes. In the follow up, "Law and Disorder," the detective assigned to solve Buscemi's murder has to admit defeat because no cop will help him.
- In the "Justice" two-parter, a cop killer is acquitted in court and murdered shortly thereafter. The dead cop's son (played by Bruce Campbell) is suspect number one, but nobody can figure out the evidence trail until one of the detectives casually mentions that Campbell owns a derringer. Da Chief explains that when he was a junior policeman, the Baltimore police always executed cop killers without trial, and usually did it with a derringer (which was easy to dispose of, and couldn't be traced back to the department).
- In Almost Human, InSyndicate assassinates Detective Vogel of the LAPD by using a biological WMD with another officer killed with the same weapon during their attack on their precient in the pilot episode.
- On Copper a rookie police officer is stabbed to death and the other cops tear though the Five Points neighborhood looking for the iller. When they have no success, the local ward boss, an ex-copper himself, orders the closing of all the local pubs until the killer is found. In a neighborhood populated by Irish immigrants this is extremely Serious Business. The killing was actually a gang initiation intended to make sure that the new member would never dare inform on the gang to the police.
- One example is Flack's Love Interest, Angell, who's shot in the season 5 finale while protecting a Donald Trump/Rupert Murdoch expy's son (who was due to testify against him; the killers turn out to be kidnappers, who knew this would put immediate suspicion on their target's father). The episode also ends with the bar they're holding a wake for her in being shot up in a drive-by. Nobody's killed (although Danny ends up in a wheelchair for a while), but it fits the trope in spirit.
- Aiden also counts, despite no longer being on the team. They were dead set on finding the perp and Danny was willing to beat up the guy he thought did it. Mac's speech in the beginning has a double meaning. He's talking about the dead Marine, being one himself, but it clearly shows with Aiden too. " You attack one, you attack us all.".
- Mac himself was a variant in the season 8 finale, having been shot In the Back after stumbling into a drug store robbery while off-duty. He only nearly died, but the NYPD's reaction was largely the same as in a straight example.
- In The Blacklist, the FBI gets into this part when they face off against heavily armed criminals and terrorists, resulting in their deaths.
- Happens throughout the 24 TV series when local police officers alongside CTU officers are killed by armed terrorists or criminals, serving as Red Shirts.
- In Tiger Cubs, Senior Inspector Chin Hon-to has to calm his subordinates in the SDU when To Tin-yu and his girlfriend, Yiu Mei-ling, killed one of their own for ruining the latter's face. Inspector Chin reminds his men that if they acts as vigilantes and go after them by themselves instead of using the law, then they'll be nothing more than just a bunch of rogue cops acting outside the law.
- Person of Interest:
- After the Dirty Cop organization HR fails at attempting to frame Detective Szymanski as a Dirty Cop in order to curry favor with The Mafiya, their leader, mayor's aide Alonzo Quinn, resorts to shooting both Szymanski and the DA trying the case. Quinn later sics HR on his own godson Detective Beecher after the latter asks the wrong questions about the Szymanski murder.
- "The Crossing" and "The Devil's Share" form a two-parter with multiple examples.
- A flashback in "The Devil's Share" shows Fusco unburdening himself to a police shrink that his first on-the-job kill wasn't a good shoot. He had hunted down and murdered a drug dealer who had killed an off-duty rookie and gotten off scot free.
- At the end of "The Crossing" now-wanted HR member Simmons kills Detective Carter. The next episode there's a city-wide manhunt for him. Unfortunately for Simmons, Team Machine are also looking for him, and Reese in particular isn't inclined to be merciful. After the rest of the team stops Reese, Fusco tracks down Simmons himself and arrests him, openly refusing to kill him in Carter's memory. The Don Carl Elias is not so scrupulous and has him killed in the hospital because he liked Carter.
- The Dragnet radio series had an episode where Friday gives the same speech as in the '60s TV series above about why police go after cop killers so hard. It may have adapted the same case.
Video Games
- L.A. Noire. Various side missions feature cop killers.
- Condemned Criminal Origins has the mass murder the player is following kill two cops at the start.
- Street Fighter: M. Bison is responsible for murdering Chun Li's father, who was a member of Interpol.
- In the first Max Payne game, the titular protagonist's real problems start not when he loses his family but when he is framed for murder of his fellow DEA agent. Gangsters in this game are cannon fodder that die in droves, but one dead officer is serious.
- In the first Mass Effect, one of the missions on Noveria has you fight through the facility's security force to retrieve incriminating evidence on the corrupt boss of the place. On the way out, you run into the irate sergeant, herself going behind her captain's back, who says, "You know what they do to cop killers on my world?" If Wrex is present, he retorts, "You know what they do to corrupt cops on mine?"
Real Life
- In real life knowingly killing a police officer qualifies one for the death penalty in all states with one in use. That's if the cops don't (justifiably given you have demonstrated a will and means to kill them) kill you before you can be arrested.

Opponents of a hard-fought bill to limit the terms of high-interest loans are making a last-ditch attempt to get Gov Jim Gibbons to veto the plan.
Under Assembly Bill 478, sent to Gibbons on Monday, a loophole would be closed in the state's 2005 payday loan law. State Assembly Speaker Barbara Buckley, D-Las Vegas, pushed the plan, saying some lenders were "motivated by greed" and were using the loophole to charge exorbitant rates.
Gibbons spokeswoman Melissa Subbotin confirmed that the Republican governor had been contacted by opponents of AB478 but hadn't made any decision on whether to reject or sign the bill. The governor has until midnight Saturday to veto the bill.
Buckley said she didn't think Gibbons would reject a measure "that would protect our men and women in the military, and all Nevadans, from unscrupulous high interest lenders."
She added the bill had strong support from the military and consumer groups and had near-unanimous support in both the Senate and Assembly.
Several small payday loan companies opposed the bill, insisting they were "installment lenders" who should be regulated differently.
Buckley said those companies had evaded the law by changing their contracts when the 2005 law took effect. Those changes allowed them to charge interest rates ranging up to 900 percent for over a year.
Under AB478, any company charging more than 40 percent interest on a loan must limit the term of the loan to 35 days. If a borrower can't pay the loan back after that time, the interest rate must drop to the prime rate plus 10 percent, or 18.25 percent in the current market.
In legislative hearings on the plan, judges testified that payday lenders have clogged state courts. Although judges often throw out egregious cases, the companies often engage in costly appeals. Almost
40 percent of civil cases in Reno's justice courts and 34 percent of such cases in Las Vegas' justice courts are brought by payday lenders.
Several large payday lenders supported Buckley's bill, saying it will provide for a level playing field and root out the industry's "bad actors."
Buckley said that while some payday loan locations are evading the 2005 law, about 500 were obeying it.

A Yahoo! User Oct 20, 2006 06:38 Flag
A fairly interesting and substantial insight Boddie,I hope you are not typing that email at work !lol
Hmmm.....Niall Quinn attended a the Manchester Sunderland Supporters Branch meeting last week, in a local Manchester Pub. Not quite the actions of a man who who shows little or no concern to the clubs fans. Did Bob Murray ever do that in 20 years or so as Chairman.....nope !
I think Quinn has an intention to build the club up and have a team that the city, and the supporters can be proud of, only time will tell however. Defeats to Southend and Bury could be distant memories by May, who knows ?
The fact is if the results don't come on the pitch people will not turn up at Sunderland, so if his plan is to sit back and let the cash roll in, it will simply will not happen. Unemployment in Sunderland is at an all time high, so people are not going to throw £25 away to watch #$%$ week in week out anymore. Maybe up the road there where the streets are paved with gold, you can get a full house every week, and good for you and your club....or indeed Freddie Shepherd.
I have a season ticket along with a group of a dozen or so mates for one reason alone. It is an excuse ( kids, marriage, jobs etc )to all get together and have a few beers and a laugh. Sometimes we don't even get to the game ( not much point given the #$%$ on show these days ).
I do however enjoy football still as a whole a little, but nowhere near as much as I used to. The reason for this mirrored in the National Team, through to the Premier League, through to the Championship. The game simply has no soul anymore, football is a game played by vastly overated and overpaid individulas. In characterless moonscape stadiums with little or no atmosphere, ( sit down, shut up, enjoy yourself and your out ! ).
Chelsea had to put 35,000 flags on the seats last night to create an atmosphere against Barcelona....What the #$%$ is that all about I ask ? ......put more simply,warm lager and hotdogs are simply no substitute for bovril and meat ( of sorts ) pasties.
Cricket is the future.....

The post-holiday blues have hit me. Damn it. Why do I have such a tendency to fall into a dark state of mind, especially this time of year? I hate it.
It's probably due in part to the fact that we had such a great weekend. The days after Christmas were nice. The house was full with the kids. Brad's girlfriend, Heather and her dog, Dacotah were here. There was laughter and chatter and everyone was in a good mood. (Except when they were nit-picking at each other, which they have a habit of doing frequently!) :-) We enjoyed guilt-free laziness. We visited with friends and I took Jake and Kacey bowling – a couple of times. Jake has a new bowling ball he needed to test out! You know I loved being able to help him out with that! There is just something about the days surrounding Christmas. We're all able to take a break from the rat race. I can get completely immersed in those days.
The weekend ended and it was time to get back to reality. Things were slower than molasses at work yesterday, due in part to the holidays. I have plenty of PTO time left in my account, and the office looked to be well staffed today so I took the day off work, which is nice…
Kacey left this morning to go shopping at the Mall of America with a friend. Jake went to work. Heather and Dacotah left to go home at noon today. Brad went to run some errands. As soon as they were gone, the house seemed so much quieter and lonely. A sad feeling came over me.
Like a million times before, the realization hit me that these kids are growing up and preparing to leave home for a life of their own. More frequently than ever, I find myself all alone for stretches of time. And it's not that I wish the kids would never leave home. My job is to raise them to be independent adults and if that's the direction they are headed, then I guess I'm doing okay at this parenting thing. It's just that I'm not sure what to do with myself now. What do I do to fill the spaces of time that used to be all consumed with mothering and caring for my family?
Don't get me wrong. I am fully capable of enjoying some solitude and independence of my own. In fact, I need a healthy dose of each on a regular basis. It's just that it is so much more enjoyable when at the end of such a period, there is the prospect of being needed again.
I think part of the problem is that I haven't quite reached the point where the kids are fully independent. They still need me to be available. Yet, I often find that in making myself available, everyone else has gone off to explore the world while I wait at home, just in case. I assume that when the kids are grown and have all moved out on their own, I'll find more hobbies to fill my time and will make a greater effort to schedule activities with friends. But in the meantime, I'm stuck in this in-between place.
The past week brought the return of a full house and happy chaos and I was all too ready to settle back into it, forgetting it was only a temporary situation.
I think I need a more positive perspective on this situation. Instead of feeling sad, maybe I should stock up on books to read, go find things to photograph or write more.
Maybe I should get a dog… :-)

An open letter to the Amherst Community:
I write to you today with an enormous sense of sorrow. Yesterday, a website for the Good Men Project posted a suicide note written by a former Amherst student, Trey Malone, who took his own life in June 2012. Trey's death is a tragedy. My deepest sympathies are with his family members and friends, who have suffered the most painful imaginable loss.

If you are struggling to pay your mortgage or facing foreclosure in Hawaii, it pays to learn about Hawaii foreclosure procedures. Until recently, most foreclosures in Hawaii were nonjudicial, meaning they did not go through court. With the introduction of Hawaii's new Mortgage Foreclosure Dispute Resolution Program, however, that has changed. Because lenders can bypass the dispute resolution program if they file a judicial foreclosure (which goes through court), most Hawaii lenders are doing just that.
Below you can learn about foreclosure proceedings in Hawaii and the Mortgage Foreclosure Dispute Resolution Program.

I am so sick and tired of being lied to all day every day by talking heads that are supposedly leading this country. Impeachment takes to long, and due to Slick Willy not leaving office after impeachment Obama would not leave either, he's too arrogant. If we as citizens work together we can make it so publicly embarrassing for him I believe we can actually leave him no alternative but to resign especially now that other world leaders are beginning to call him out on his actions. As far as Josh Earnest is concerned, I can only hope for a chance meeting with him in the future I will treat him like the lying boy he is.

"THEY ARE CALLED HOUSE CATS FOR A REASON" and that's where they belong.
At the present time there are 157,000,000 million feral house cats in North America. Song birds weigh ounces and it is figured that feral house cats kill thousands of tons of song birds each year here. I am not even counting the upland game birds, water fowl or small mammals that cats kill. Cats evolved in North Africa, and are now a bigger environmental problem world wide than that global warming thing. Its my belief that feral house cats over time have now been the source of more extinctions than man. In closing I was doing my daily hike yesterday, four miles from the nearest road, 5 miles from the nearest house and saw a feral house cat that weighed at least 15 lbs, and he was in great shape, no flees, ticks, or a collar, if you are wondering my GWP is perfect for this type of situation. No fuss no muss.

Here's what I know, faults trap oil, and have been a major target when drilling wells for decades. That is where the largest easiest pockets of oil sit and the easiest to drill into and extract fluids from.
Here's what I think, these small earth quakes result from multiple causation. The type of formation and rock drilled into, young inexperienced drilling, and fracking engineers. Tight time tables, and budgets lead to over pressuring, along with the high number of wells drilled and fracked in an area. Culminating with the rapid extraction of fluids (gas, oil, condensate, and salt water) in great quantities leaving voids in the formations, that cause the formations to collapse.
In other words some settling of contents may occur.

My first German Wirehair had a skunk problem every skunk he ran across he would get sprayed. I found the solution quite by accident once when guiding hunts in Wyoming. Dude got sprayed right at dark and I got him back to where I was staying and the only soaps I had was a bar of dial and a bottle of Johnson's Baby Shampoo. I grabbed the baby shampoo and washed Dude really well, and it worked, it even got the skunk oil off the leather collar he wore, no special tricks, no mixing, no peroxide, no tomato juice. Johnson's Baby Shampoo works every time to get the skunk off. I am now in my third Wirehair and have used this trick for years. My advice to Glenn is get a garden hose and a hose end bottle poor some baby shampoo in and spray the house down let is sit for a few hours and rinse it off.

The N numbers are there, on the vertical stabilizer in front of the rudder, they meet the minimums of two inches tall. My guess is this is a United States Fish and Wildlife Service, Animal Damage Control, or a an Alaska Department of Fish and Game aircraft. The reason the pilot did not grant an interview is they were probably out monitoring hunters or shooting wolves.

I'm gonna have to school you on Black Bears.
Eva and Jim both harvested 500 pound males in the last couple of days. (boars)
When boars get that big they become a problem in the breeding process. Boars this big in the spring will practice infanticide, yes going around killing and eating cubs so the sow will go back into heat. A major part of bear management is insuring you have recruitment, meaning the cubs survive and you have an even population age throughout the specie.
The black bear population in North Carolina is huge, and needs to have a certain percentage taken each year, the numbers being set by game biologists. Hitting that number each year is important for the overall health of the population.
In North Carolina the Bears have become a problem for farmers, spending a great deal of time in the fields eating crops, melons, corn, you name it. Bears in the south generally do not hibernate like they do out west in colder climates. Bears in the south tend to eat all year and only sleep when a cold front blows in and get back up in a few days.
Black bear is really good table fare, you have to be careful cooking it, because of trichinosis. It has to be medium well to well done so its best cooked in a crock pot.
Now a little trivia Black Bears injure more people in the United States each year than any other animal. They tend to adapt well to the urban interface and can be very testy, most people who get mauled get to close and don't respect them for what they are.

Ok I just recently moved to NJ in a pretty wealthy area and at my high school or at mall wherever I go almost I have girls just staring at me. Today I was at the mall with my bro and a group of girls were like just staring at me sort of giggling/chatting to each other quietly? and at school I notice in class ill turn around and stuff and a girl who was looking at me turns away fastly. do they like me or what cause they never ask me out?. so I am 18 year old white male 5'10 Blue eyes dark brown hair and not to brag at all but I am pretty good looking guy.
Do these chicks like me?
What Girls Said 3
Well you do seem a bit braggy, since it took you two profiles to ask this question, well anyway, I wouldn't say these chicks like you seeing as most of them don't know you, but they like what they see. And since you're getting all this attention from these chicks there'll be a small chance of getting rejected, so you can ease their worries and ask them out instead of waiting on them.
stfu nigga. you lost me in the first few words. Posting multiple questions to get more answers? who gives a f***.
What Guys Said 3
Did you just make a new account to ask this question again? Lololol obviously if they are all staring at you should talk to them and not waste time asking the same question on here.
ye so what d***head. Multiple answers, better.
Chill out, just trying to help you out here buddy :). Seriously if ALL the girls are looking at you like that then you must be a super model or just really delusional. So here's what you do to find out which one is the case, the next girl that eye rapes you, just walk up to her and introduce yourself. Easy as that.
Have an opinion?

J.R. Smith is aiming for something more than winning this year's NBA Sixth Man Award and has publicly gone on record by saying he should be considered for All-Star selection for the first time in his career. The New York Knicks super-sub point guard — backing it up with a five-game streak of 20 points or more — spoke out about being selected for the elite team fresh from his spectacular reverse alley-oop dunk against the Spurs on Thursday. "My eyes are on being an All-star, honestly," Smith told The New York Post after Thursday's convincing 100-83 win. "I'm not focusing on Sixth man. Sixth Man is more long-term, honestly, end of year. My individual goal right now is All-Star, then I'll think about the Sixth Man. I'm trying to be that All-Star coming off the bench for my team." Combine that dunk with a couple of December buzzer-beaters and Smith has a good argument for joining the All-Stars, if not only for his flair for the dramatic. Smith is not on the All-Star fan ballot and it is rare for a player coming off the bench to make the squad but, if he keeps making the most of his minutes, an All-Star berth could be in the cards. The final decision will be up to the coaches — who have until Jan. 24 to cast their votes. The former New Jersey high school prep star is averaging 16.6 points, 5.2 rebounds, and 2.8 assists in 33 minutes and his defense has shown more tenacity than ever before. More importantly, Smith has put his bad habits and worse reputation behind him. No more partying or tweeting pictures of naked women. "It's about keeping myself inside the gym more than anything," Smith said. "I'm more focused and right now it's paying off."

Lucky escape for chain-saw operatorComment on this story
Pittsburgh -
A tree trimmer is recovering after being rushed to hospital with a chain-saw blade embedded in his neck.
James Valentine was in a tree on Monday afternoon when he was struck in the neck by the chain-saw.
Another worker helped him down, and his co-workers left the saw in place to try to limit the bleeding.
Valentine had emergency surgery.
Doctors say the saw missed major arteries and, instead, cut into muscle.
A hospital released an X-ray on Tuesday showing the saw still in the 21-year-old's neck.
Valentine works for a tree removal service.
The company's owner, Dominic Migliozzi, called the rescue "amazing". - Sapa-AP

Maj. Gen. Edward C. Cardon sees great opportunities in the location of Army Cyber Command at Fort Gordon, Ga., (Army)
The Army is ramping up cyber operations, including efforts that are gaining momentum since Army officials in December announced the services cyber component would be headquartered at Fort Gordon, Ga.
The headquarters location alongside other key government cyber facilities cements the positioning strategy, a move by the Army secretary that Maj. Gen. Edward Cardon, commander of Army Cyber Command, called a quite courageous decision, I thought, in a tough political environment.
The National Security Agency maintains a presence at Fort Gordon, and the Army will have additional cyber-focused organizations onsite as well.
This is going to give us some unbelievable synergy, Cardon said May 28 at the AFCEA DC Cyber Summit in Washington. First, you have NSA-Georgia there and our headquarters will be next to NSA-Georgia inside the compound. The second thing is the Army made a decision to stand up the Cyber Center of Excellence, which is the institutional side of the Army; its co-located at Fort Gordon. In fact its the only place you see the institutional side of the Army co-located with its operational component.
Fort Gordon is also home to the 7th Signal Command, which maintains Army network operations in the contiguous U.S. and houses a number of intelligence units, Cardon added.
So when you look at it all together putting a lot of people in the right place together who are highly talented theres some real synergy here that I think youre going to see, he said, noting that the completion timeline likely will be 2018, after his tenure concludes.
In total, U.S. Cyber Command is set to gain 6,000 trained cyber professionals in the next two years, roughly 2,000 of which will come from the Army. Cardon said the Army is about halfway to that goal, and he expects to have all of those teams operational by 2016. The service also is in the process of integrating cyber analysts and operators under the centralized Army cyber organization, he added.
The moves are part of broader Army-wide and Defense Department-wide plans to build up the militarys presence in cyberspace. And while all of the branches are training to a CyberCom-issued standard, the Army contributions will differ from those of the other services.
Were going to have teams that work at every geographic command. Well be the only service organized like that, but I think its going to bring huge capability along with our theater signal commands that are also providing a network around the world, Cardon said. Thats going to combine with [Defense Information Systems Agency efforts] and thats going to become a lot more efficient over time. But the bottom line is well have a global reach out there.
Cardon expects that the Army eventually will spin out a full, separate Army branch dedicated to cyber, a change that he acknowledged is likely to face significant hurdles but will be critical to ironing out the cyber-staffing challenges faced across DoD.
What this will allow us to do is create a separate career field that will manage the leader-development and talent management for this organization, Cardon said. This has been talked about for a long time the last branch that was created out of the Army was either aviation or special operations. We havent done this since the early 80s. So its going to be a little painful; were going to be breaking some china. But at the end of that we will be much better able to manage the cyber workforce.

Avis Car Rental Aims for Carbon Neutrality
3 October 2011
It might seem like a paradox for a car rental company to be certified carbon neutral, as cars contribute to a substantial percentage of global carbon emissions.
Contrary to this though, Avis has become the first company in South Africa to be certified as a carbon-neutral, a process that included investing in carbon off-setting projects and reducing their carbon emissions.
As concern with the consumption of fossil fuels continues to be a global issue, it's good to know that a precedent is being established in SA, which will hopefully encourage other companies to follow suite.
To find out more about Avis' carbon neutral ceritification, read this article.

International Year of Forests: Of Forests and Men
3 October 2011
2011 is the United Nations (UN) International Year of Forests, and as this year begins to wind down, it's important to see the effect of our actions on our environment, and that the solution lies in changing our attitude towards it.
In the video below, directed by Yann Arthus-Bertrand of "Home" fame, and narrated by actor Edward Norton, we get the kind of perspective necessary to see our global forest resources for what they are- massive, essential and critically under threat.
Climate Smart Campaign Completes First Month
2 October 2011
The start of September saw the launch of the Cape Town Climate Smart Campaign, an initiative that aims to educate and empower city residents around issues of climate change.
With a series of upcoming events, Climate Smart is going to be holding various activations around the city, all leading up to the COP 17 event which takes place in December in Durban.
For more information about the campaign, and how you can get involved, visit the Climate Smart website.
And just for fun, here's a different perspective on the city, which is no doubt going to feel the effects of change in the future.
Greenpeace International Campaigns for 1 Million
2 October 2011
Greenpeace International's Facebook page has over 950 000 fans, an extremely high number considering how many Facebook pages there are.
In a campaign to reach one million followers, Greenpeace recently posted this video on their profile, showcasing the environmental and conservation campaigning work that they do.
This Time Last Week: Moving Planet
1 October 2011
A week ago, people all over the world took to the streets to demonstrate their defiance against fossil fuels.
Here is a short video that gives just a small indication of the massive scope of the Moving Planet campaign, and how even though there might be borders between us, we all have the same goal for our shared future.
The Song of the Spindle Connects Us
1 October 2011
Today marks the start of National Marine Month, and because it's the Hermanus Whale Festival this weekend too, here is a video that highlights our physical connection to whales, and all kinds of cetaceans.
Upcoming Event: Hermanus Whale Festival
30 September 2011
The Two Oceans Hermanus Whale festival starts today in the Overberg town of Hermanus, which has held an annual whale festival for the last 20 years to celebrate to the seasonal return of the Southern Right whale.
The festival runs from 30 September to 4 October, and is an enviro-arts event that attracts hundreds of people every year, as it one of the best land-based whale viewing sites in the world.
It's encouraging to know that this kind of conservation awareness is taking place, especially considering that this is the first year that the festival has received headline sponsorship.
For more information, visit the festival website.
Great White Sharks and Respecting Nature
30 September 2011
The recent shark attack in False Bay has again sparked a controversial debate about whether Great White Sharks are creatures to be be feared or respected.
The fact that there are no shark nets in False Bay does imply an element of risk every time we enter the water- something that unfortunately was not taken into full consideration on Wednesday according to a recent News24 article.
It is inevitable that this kind of incident could make us fearful of these majestic mammals, but the response of Michael Cohen, who sadly lost his leg, reminds us that when it comes to nature we are just part of a greater system that we will not always understand.

Brightening up the Dark with Solar Bottle Bulbs
29 September 2011
In some parts of the world, people live in darkness, without access to adequate electric light.
However, with the simple idea of using empty soda bottles as "bulbs", people in the Philippines now have the light that they need indoors, all without the need for unnecessary fossil fuel consumption.
For more information visit the Isang Litrong Liwanag website.
Landscape Painting Without a Paintbrush
29 September 2011
Amy Shackleton paints, but not with paintbrushes.
Using squeeze bottles, and by rotating her canvases, Shackleton creates various artistic effects, with the ultimate result being a contrast between urban and natural landscapes.
With the use of timelapse, it's interesting to see the process, and gives a different perspective on her attempt to create art that "recognizes the need for collaboration between urban and rural environments".
For more information visit the Elaine Fleck Gallery website.

Karoo Fracking Task Team: What is There to Hide?
28 September 2011
The Centre for Environmental Rights (CER) is an organisation that believes in the necessity of transparency in legal process, and the importance of access to information.
So it was with disappointment that the CER announced yesterday that they had been refused access to documents about the Karoo fracking Task Team by the Department of Mineral Resources (DMR).
This raises questions about secrecy and access to information, and more importantly, what is there to hide when it comes to fracking in the Karoo?
For further information read this post on the CER website.

Public Engagement: Outdoor Campaigns
25 September 2011
When the Green Renaissance went to put up 282 crosses along the Sea Point promenade last week, we had no idea how much positive public response we would receive.
Judging by the comments on Facebook and Twitter though, it is clear that these kind of outdoor campaigns resonate with people, and is an effective way of drawing attention to a cause.
With an eye on other successful outdoor campaigns like flashmobs, here is an Italian flashmob video that shows just one example of how an environmental message can be expressed in the public sphere.
Life in a Miniature Forest
25 September 2011
It's amazing how many beautiful and precious aspects of nature are overlooked, especially when we're more concerned with seeing the bigger picture.
It's often through the eyes of a child though that we sometimes see what we have been missing, and that life, in all its forms, can be preserved on even the smallest scale.
Adding Some Colour to our Heritage
24 September 2011
In an outdoor campaign for Heritage Day, Virgin Active decorated one of Cape Town's most iconic statues with some appropriately themed leg warmers.
