Getting Started Guide for Xilinx Zynq 7000 ZedBoard
- 1 Introduction
- 2 Board features
- 3 Basic preliminary work
- 4 Running RidgeRun SDK
- 5 Articles related to this board
This guide is meant to be used as a reference on how to start using RidgeRun's SDK over AVNet/Digilent Xilinx Zynq 7000 ZedBoard hardware. The first section of this guide shows some general guidelines on how to work with our SDK as well including some very basic procedures that need to be execute before installing / trying to build RidgeRun's SDK (for example setting up a TFTP and NFS server or installing Xilinx ISE tools). Later on, the second section contains instructions about how to configure the SDK to a create a SD card with all the key software components (bootloader, kernel and file system) needed to boot all the way to Linux's shell in the evaluation board.
Please take notice that in the following sections it is assumed that the user has already downloaded and installed Xilinx Vivado ISE Design Suite in the development machine, this is remarkably important since these tools also include the toolchain required to cross-compile the SDK. For this guide, Vivado Design Suite 2012 and ISE Design Suite 14.4 was used; it might be the case that the developer has acquired a more recent hardware revision board with a newer set of tools, in case problems arise for this reason please do not hesitate to contact RidgeRun for further asistance.
On the rest of this document, we refer as $DEVDIR to the path where the RidgeRun SDK for the Zynq 7000 Zed board is installed.
For further information on how the RidgeRun SDK is structured / how it works please refer to the RidgeRun SDK Overview wiki page:

Basic preliminary work
Installing Xilinx ISE Tools
As mentioned earlier in the Introduction, it is assumed that the developer has acquired an AVNet / Digilent Zed board. In such case please proceed to use the DVD labeled for Linux in order to install the corresponding Vivado and ISE Design Tools from Xilinx in your Ubuntu desktop and execute the xsetup binary file to start installing the Xilinx Tools.
$(USER)@$(HOST):cd /media/Xilinx_ISE_DS_Lin_14.4_P.49d.3 $(USER)@$(HOST):/media/Xilinx_ISE_DS_Lin_14.4_P.49d.3$ ./xsetup
To check for the latest versions of the Vivado / ISE Design suite please refer to the following link:
Some additional hints for Ubuntu 12.04:
Ubuntu 12.04 useful installation hints
Linux Host Setup
- Configure TFTP:
If you are planning to use the SDK's installer to install images generated by the SDK in NAND, installing a TFTP server you will speed up downloads to the target hardware by using TFTP.
TFTP configuration for fast image downloads to the target hardware
- Configure NFS:
For application development, it is convenient to use root NFS mount file system for the target hardware. This allows you to rebuild your application on the host and immediately run the application on the target hardware with no interveining steps. You host PC needs to be configured as a NFS server for this in order to work properly.
NFS configuration so the root file system used by the target can be located on the host
- In case termnet is preferred over minicom as serial console / terminal app, please refer to the short guide below
TERMNET terminal app configuration, alternative to minicom

Configuration and build
Please refer to the link below for information on how to configure and build the RidgeRun SDK for the first time:
How to configure and build RidgeRun SDK
Booting from SD Card
Setting up Zynq 7000 ZedBoard to boot from a SD card
In order to boot from a SD card you need to set the SD port as the first boot device to try in the Zynq 7000 boot sequence. The ZedBoard uses MIO[5:3] to select the boot mode, SD card boot mode is selected by setting the MIO[5:4] to 3.3V (logical 1) as shown in the image below:
Configuring SDK to deploy firmware to a SD card
1. Set your environment variables
cd $DEVDIR `make env`
2. Open a configuration menu
make config
3. Proceed to the Installer Configuration sub-menu and set the Firmware deployment mode to Deploy all the firmware to a SD card option as shown below:
4. Proceed to the Toolchain Configurations sub-menu and make sure that you have the right binaries path for your toolchain. For this option, what usually changes is the version of ISE installed:
The RidgeRun SDK offers basically 2 ways of creating a bootable SD card:
- By creating a SD card image by creating a loopback device (later on this image is burned into the SD card using dd command.
- By storing the firmware images into a previously partioned (by the SDK) SD card.
For more information about the main configuration settings related to SD card installation options, please refer to the link below:
How to boot from SD card using RidgeRun SDK
Booting the Zynq 7000 ZedBoard running RidgeRun SDK
Once the SD card build process is complete, proceed to boot the board:
1. Open your serial console / terminal emulator (minicom, terment, picocom depending on your preference).
2. Insert the SD card into the SD card slot in the Zynq ZedBoard, power ON the board a wait for the board to boot all the way to the Linux Kernel prompt. The log should be similar to the following:

MSI R5830 Twin Frozr II review
MSI R5830 Twin Frozr II review
Today we test the MSI R5830 Twin Frozr II . This product is based on the new Radeon HD 5830. MSI again made sure that their version needed to be interesting, so they designed a custom PCB, used durable quality components and then added their latest Twin FRoZr II cooler.
The end result is a product that looks just awesome, performs at baseline level, but overclocks just really well. Have a peek at what we test today, and then head on over to the article where we'll look at the MSI R 5870 Twin FroZR II edition graphics card.

Gigabyte X58 Overclocking Motherboard Prepped
One thing is that the Gigabyte GA-X58A-UD9 forgoes all types of previous-generation expansion slots in favor of the PCI Express x16 interface. This allowed its maker to put in no less than seven such slots, which should say a lot about the maximum video and GPU computing capabilities that enthusiasts will achieve. Not only that, but there are also six DDR3 memory slots, which will easily let purchasers install more memory than they'll really need for years. One can only imagine what havoc this mainboard will cause with a CrossFireX or SLI setup and 24GB of memory.
Other specifications of the upcoming product include ten SATA ports, four of which might be SATA 6.0Gbps ones, DualBIOS, a debuLED, Gigabit Ethernet, 7.1 channel audio and, last but not least, USB 3.0 connectors to make sure that top speed can be reached wherever possible. Unfortunately, when and where this creature will debut is unknown, as is its price tag [via softpedia].
Intel not planning USB 3.0 until 2012
The gusy over at Bit Tech heard from Taiwanese sources that Intel has no plans to integrate USB 3.0 into its chipsets until 2012 at the earliest, and that support for SATA 6Gbps won't be integrated until late Q3 2011 in the refresh of the X58 platform.
"Our sources here in Taipei tell us that Intel has no plans to integrate USB 3 into its chipsets until 2012 at the earliest - there are no new platforms due this year, and next year's roadmaps currently show none featuring USB 3. Apparently Intel plans to make a USB 3/SATA 6Gbps all-in-one chip for optional use by motherboard manufacturers on its products, however it
AMD SB810 southbridge launch slightly delayed
The site also received word that 890FX/SB850, 790FX/SB750/SB850/ 870/SB850 based motherboards will start shipping later this quarter, and that 740G/SB710 motherboards will follow in the second half of this year.
Additionally, they also picked up a rumor that AMD plans to introduce Socket AM3+ in 2011 with the AMD 990FX or 970 chipset with SB950 southbridge. It's possible that this new socket will be backwards compatible with the current ones.
Intel's first quarter profit nearly quadruples
Intel had an excellent first quarter, the company reported a net income of $2.4 billion, or 43 cents per share, on a revenue of $10.3 billion. This compares to a profit of 11 cents per share on a revenue of $7.1 billion in the same quarter the year before, and is better than analyst expectations of earnings of 38 cents per share on revenue of $9.8 billion. For the current quarter, Intel said it expects revenue of $10.2 billion, plus or minus $400 million.

Two-Bay NAS from Plextor
The amount of storage available to a small network need only be large enough for storing multimedia files (used for streaming) and for backup purposes. As such, Plextor decided to build its new NAS device with only two bays that can each handle a 3.5-inch hard disk drive of up to 2TB.
The PX-NAS2 itself measures 135.4 (W) x 120.3 (H) x 254.5 (D) mm and is equipped with all the necessary connectivity and I/O options, including a pair of USB ports and Gigabit Ethernet. As such, the product will be able to act as an iTunes, HTTP / FTP server. Not only that, but Plextor's unit is even compatible with DLNA 1.5, which allows it to interface with CE products.
"Plextor is pleased to expand our storage category to meet today's growing storage demand by providing another complete storage solution to our consumers," says Takashi Adachi, General Manager of Plextor. "The PX-NAS2 is a complete and versatile NAS device that fulfills the growing demand for storage capacity, security and accessibility of personal data anywhere, anytime within a home."
With the multimedia streaming capabilities covered, the storage maker catered to the need for reliable and easy backup by bundling the NAS with the Memeo software, which also handles file syncing and content sharing. Set to start selling in May, the HDD-less Plextor PX-NAS2 will be priced at only

Additional Information
This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.

Kell Brook walks Devon down Timmy style(Kinda) Lands the harder shots and keeps Devon on the outer part of the ring or on the ropes. Kell wins 117-111 or 116-112.

Im really hoping Kell can pull this fight out of the bag, ill be rooting for him.
But ive decided not to put any cash on him, so im not overly confident, Devon could spoil this fight and i really hope he doesnt.

The only downside for Brook is that he's never fought anyone whos at his level. Where as Alexander has fought top class fighters for a good few years now...
I want Brook to get it but Alexander wins a close fight.

Probably the best analysis so far. Mostly, it is a recap of the past. But in talking about the pending referendum, he writes,
if the public sides with Tsipras government, then there will be a very sharp recession over the next few months. Tax collection is likely to collapse. The Tsipras government is unlikely to survive the economic collapse.
He also writes,
Greece should have defaulted in 2010. Its debt burden then was unsustainable and nothing since then has changed this. It is true that financial markets were much more jittery at that time, but the money that was raised to pay off the creditors in that bailout could have been diverted to support Greece and other weak countries. Once the bad rescue of 2010 was undertaken, it was inevitable that some form of debt relief was going to be necessary.
Imagine how different the political dynamics in Europe would have been if the German and French banks had been explicitly bailed out.
Pointer from John Cochrane (and from Greg Mankiw and James Hamilton). Of course, I think that explicit bailouts are exactly what the political system will not allow. Even going forward, I still think that "opaque bailout" is the most likely outcome. But I also think that there are some lessons for us.
1. At some point, you do run out of other people's money (that is actually more true for us than for Greece, because we are bigger and therefore harder to bail out).
2. When you run out of other people's money, political tensions rise considerably. See my essay Lenders and Spenders.

Re: sf/f TV development news - 2012
Since I was hoping (unrealistically I know) the networks would get rid of everything on broadcast--because it sucks--and start from scratch I'm ready to have another go and see if maybe next season they can actually come up with some consistently entertaining shows with actual interesting characters--I'm so over wildly fluctuating consistency from ep to ep, large casts, mythology heavy programming, poor casting, bland characters who are nothing but interchangeable and the Big Picture being the central focus.
I think I'll sample Do No Harm(open premise where the writers could easily craft season long arcs every season with no series spanning stuff), Cult(small cast, likeable actors(Matt Davis/Jessica Lucas/Knepper, interesting premise that doesn't look to try to be an epic monstrosity so hopefully it will be a little more grounded), Zero Hour, Park Avenue(this could go afield if it plays up keeping too much shrouded in secrecy), The Following(this has the potential to fall into predictable cop schtick i.e. alcoholic cop chasing killers). So help me if any of them start down the big event shitload of mysteries/questions path I'm dumping them in a second--large reason why Revolution and The Last Resort are not even in my sampling for next fall. Zero Hour could veer into this but I'm willing to see if it does--otherwise I'm a sucker for these type of stories.

Ryan Reynolds
He's filled with enthusiasm over the forthcoming release of his new movie "Deadpool," and Ryan Reynolds just unveiled a hilarious home movie he made over the weekend.
Titled "How Deadpool Spent Halloween," the clip features the "Van Wilder" hunk all decked out in his Deadpool gear as he tries to recruit an army of mercenaries from a group of kids that were trick-or-treating.
Always a handsome hunk, Ryan Reynolds is featured on the front of the October 2015 issue of GQ magazine.
The "Deadpool" stud discussed what it felt like to find out his close friend of 25 years was shopping photos of his baby girl to magazines- "It was like a death. It was like one of those devastating things to find out. It was like so kind of shocking. There isn't really a conversation to have. It's just, 'Oh, well, now I'm never going to see you or talk to you again, unfortunately."
Always thinking of his fans, Ryan Reynolds brought a tasty treat with him when he appeared on "Conan" last night (August 4).
The "Van Wilder" hunk premiered the red band trailer for his new movie "Deadpool," which forced Conan O'Brien to give his show a TV-MA rating for the first time in his history as a late night host.
It won't be long before Marvel unleashes "Deadpool" into movie theaters nationwide, and until February 12, 2016 rolls around we'll just have to subsist on the newly-dropped teaser trailer.
The project is a long time coming, as Ryan Reynolds has fought for 11 years to bring it to fruition. And the "Van Wilder" hunk couldn't be happier with the finished product.
Given that they're both gorgeous human beings, it stands to reason that Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds' offspring will be models-in-the-making!
The "Van Wilder" hunk and his "Gossip Girl" wife shared the first photo of their daughter James on Thursday (May 14), posting an image of the infant's hand wrapped around Reynolds' finger.
The life of a celebrity is full of surprises and Ryan Reynolds was the victim of a "hit and run" in Vancouver, Canada on Friday (April 10).
While walking through the garage of the Shangri-La Hotel, the "Van Wilder" hunk was bumped by a paparazzo's car after the shutterbug snapped a photo of him.
His forthcoming flick "Deadpool" isn't slated to hit theaters until next year, but already Ryan Reynolds is in full-on promotion mode.
During yesterday's April Fool's Day holiday, the "Van Wilder" hunk appeared in a fake "Extra" segment during which Mario Lopez asked about a rumor that the movie will be PG-13 rather than the previously reported R rating. Ryan replied, "Yeah, but we're working to keep the spirit of the comic book alive though."
He knows the ins and outs of Tinseltown like the back of his hand, but that doesn't mean Ryan Reynolds wants a similar fate for his daughter James.
In a new interview with "Today," the "Proposal" hunk confesses that he and wife Blake Lively are a little neurotic about their progeny following in their footsteps. "You worry about really stupid stuff. And you sort of sit there and go, 'Oh gosh, is she gonna wanna do this?' I like to whisper in her ear, like, really normal everyday jobs. 'You're going to be a flight attendant… A barista. Just normal wonderful jobs. You can have a nice normal life.'"
Stirring up excitement about his forthcoming flick "Deadpool," Ryan Reynolds posted a still image of his superhero costume via Twitter.
Also starring Morena Baccarin, Gina Carano and Ed Skrein, the Marvel Studios project is directed by Tim Miller and slated to hit theaters on February 12, 2016.
They've been having a blast as new parents, and finally Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds have unveiled their baby girl's moniker.
During an appearance on the "Today" show, the "Van Wilder" actor joked, "It is Butternut Summersquash," before sharing, "No, it's out there! It's out there. It's James. Everyone knows and I told everyone who would listen that."

|Back to Home > Content > Journalism Advice > 6 Ways to Track Down a Magazine Editor
Let's look at a few common obstacles, shall we? The editor who once covered the column you're interested in has moved to a rival publication, but his name is still listed on his former pub's masthead. No. 2: You've found the right editor and know for a fact she still works at the pub, but her email address keeps bouncing back. Or, you call the magazine simply to ask who handles a section, but no one ever... answers... the... phone. Arggh! Why is it so hard to find an editor's contact information in the first place?
Jodi Helmer, a freelance writer based in North Carolina, says publications make it hard to contact them on purpose in order to weed out inexperienced wordsmiths; they only want their inboxes brimming with ideas from the very best writers. Furthermore, editors like to know that a journalist is a good enough reporter to find their elusive email addresses, because exploratory skills are an essential part of writing, she added. "It's this sort of test," Helmer said. "They just really want to make sure you kind of know your stuff and can find their email address before they give you entry into the club."

The reuse of existing building stock is often dismissed too quickly. Our disposable culture is reected in attitudes toward old buildings - they do not meet today's aspirations. Yet reworking existing buildings can result in massive savings on environmental impacts. In a rural setting, the romance of a barn conversion makes it easy to compromise and work with the existing structure, though the principle is not so easy to sell in a gritty London street with a very tired-looking 1960s building. In Kirby Street, Hatton Garden, central London, the practice designed its way out of poor floor-to-ceiling heights and large dark areas with no natural daylight, avoiding a rebuild, maximising the opportunities for development, and selling the compromises that were required.
The building achieved a blue-chip tenant (with an international reputation for design) on a pre-let.
Good design ensured the project was profitable, enabling everyone to embrace the environmental issues and feel better for doing so.

Re: (UEFA) Football Thread - Football not Soccer
It's a bit of a double-edged sword isn't it - The minnow nations need to play against better teams to get the experience, but then if they get tanked it's just counter-productive.
I'm not really sure what the answer is to be honest.
Wales doing well, 2-1 up with minutes to go. Very handy result for England there. Can't see Montenegro beating Switzerland either, so a result against Wales in midweek and we'll probably be able to go to Montenegro, lose, and still top the group.

I feel for these teams. They counted us out only to have us knock them out.
It's really not their fault that they don't have what it takes to be Cyclones. I look forward to taking down our new SEC "overlords."

continued Highway Superintendent Gregg Sagendorph said his department would try to meet a 10 percent reduction in overtime, but for his job that depends a lot on the weather. He said he's going into the winter season shorthanded, as well, and can't afford more labor because it must be hired at prevailing wages (which Sagendorph referred to as the "elephant in the room").
Councilwoman Joann Dawson, who admitted she's often sought to squeeze pennies from the budget, said getting to a 0 percent tax change is a "laudable" goal, but also irresponsible from a services perspective.
The public hearing on the budget will begin at 6 p.m. on Wednesday, Oct. 26, at Town Hall.

While the Board is to be commended for a careful budget. Most changes are to services to the community or material purchases. As I understand the budget breakdown, these areas account for about 18% of the total budget. The largest item, personnel costs are approximately 80%. I see no discussion on managing this fast growth area. It appears that the entire budget could be personnel costs within the decade.
During the recent debate, additional focus was on services consolidation, long range plans, and other areas that are at the margins of the costs. The next Supervisor and Board will have to actively engage in the personnel issue and the Supervisor should be a person with experience in personnel matters in both good and adverse times. I have 34 years of such experience, while the other candidates do not. This should be a strong consideration when you cast your vote. For more, please go to rreevesellington.com for my personal data and bethlehemsupervisor.com for my political profile and platform.
RichardReevesEllington 4 years, 1 month ago
And additional comment on personnel costs. John Clarkson rightly wants a long term capital plan, Kyle Kotary wants that and a long term budgeting process. Neither have brought up the need for a long term personnel plan. This should be be foundation of the other two, given the amount of cost associated with current employees and retirees. Such a plan, needs to set personnel numbers goals in ways that reduce the rapid growth of these expenses. Layoffs are not necessarily the best solution as there are others: attrition, early retirements, and contractual negotiations. In my experience, a mix best serves all.
The starting point is for our citizens to better understand where the costs are today, where they are growing fastest, and what elements are causing fast growth. Then we all can move forward in a more informed way.

Photo: Louis DeLuca/Staff Photographer
No. 3 2B Ian Kinsler (17th round, 2003) – No Ranger draft pick has ever won an MVP or Cy Young Award
with the club. Kinsler has the ability to be the first. A few weeks shy of his 30 th birthday, he already has
two 30-30 seasons to his credit. His defense has improved year after year. And after a spate of early-
career injuries, he's played at least 144 games in each of the past two seasons. Kinsler began the week
on pace for 132 runs, one shy of the franchise record set by Alex Rodriguez in 2001.

Tell Us Your Pettiest Golf Club Stories
Earlier today, we ran an excerpt from author Shane Ryan's new golf book. It was about the unrelenting pettiness of Augusta National Golf Club, from which even squirrels and birds can be banished for getting out of line.

| Directive Number:
| Old Directive Number:
| Title:
|Acceptable Guarding for Circular Meat Cutting Saws: 29 CFR Section 1910.212(a)(3)(ii)
| Information Date:
OSHA Instruction October 30, 1978
March 23, 1973
To: Field and National Offices
Subject: Acceptable Guarding for Circular Meat Cutting Saws: CFR Section 1910.212(a)(3)(ii)
l. Purpose. To provide guidance on the acceptable methods for guarding meat cutting saws.
2. Background
a. The reference standard requires point of operation guarding on machines which expose an employee to injury. Because there is no standard available which gives the specific details for guard requirements for meat saws, there has resulted much confusion as to what is acceptable guarding.
b. It is understood that the appropriate organizations in the meat industry are presently developing standards. Until these are available, the following policy shall be followed.
3. Interpretation. A circular meat cutting saw shall be guarded in one of the following ways:
a. A suspended counter balanced circular meat cutting saw that requires two-handed operation shall be deemed adequately guarded, if provided with a guard that covers at least 25 degrees of the circumference of the blade and it conforms to the requirements in d below.
b. A suspended counter balanced circular meat cutting saw that requires only one-handed operation shall be deemed adequately guarded, if provided with a guard that covers at least 90 degrees of the circumference of the blade and it conforms to the requirements in d below.
c. A nonsuspended circular meat saw, either one hand or two-handed operation, shall be deemed adequately guarded if provided with a guard that covers at least 120 degrees of the circumference of the blade and it conforms with the requirements in d below.
d. All circular meat cutting saws shall conform to the following:
(1) A "dead man" control(s) shall be required.
(2) The guard protecting the operator from contact with the blade shall be located between the operator and the blade.
(3) The minimum number of degrees of circumferential guarding of the blade shall be provided based on specific applications in meat cutting operations.
(4) A brake that automatically activates upon release of the operating control(s) is recommended.
4. Effective Date. This instruction is effective immediately, and will remain in effect until canceled or superseded.

1. Re: Host DLP file discovery - Not running?dtr Feb 1, 2013 3:33 AM (in response to keithdrone)
Hi keithdrone,
I used the following workflow:
1) Create a classification rule for creditcards
2) activate the following modules:
- Reporting
- Evidence
- Discovery
3) Change the Discovery Settings in the global proberties as follows:
(last line must be marked for testing.) Every time a new agent configuration is pushed, discovery scan will run. You may disable this in a productive environment.
4) Create a new discovery rule. Use the classification category defined in 1) (--> step 3 while editing the rule)
5) Choose the reactions in step 5: for example tagging / monitor
6) enrole the agent configuration
7) make sure the dlp agent recieves the new config
8) file should be tagged now
Best regards
2. Re: Host DLP file discovery - Not running?keithdrone Feb 1, 2013 7:48 AM (in response to dtr)
Thank you Dennis;
That is the method I used as well. I've also confirmed that our 'test files' will trigger other rules on other test machines (such as notification, send to evidence, etc.)
But following the intended discovery, we not only have no 'tagged' files (verified by using the 'Manual Tagging' feature on endpoints) but we see no evidence of any process 'crawling' the systems (Process Monitor/Explorer from Systernals used to verify)
As a last ditch effort, I uninstalled the agent from one of the test-endpoints, wiped, fresh install, re-deployed with 'run immediately' option still set, and nothing occurred.
3. Re: Host DLP file discovery - Not running?dtr Feb 1, 2013 7:55 AM (in response to keithdrone)
Is the user on the test-system part of the group defined in the Discovery-Rule?
Can you activate some other modules of DLP (for example Web Protection) to test if the DLP-Policy works in general?
Best regards
4. Re: Host DLP file discovery - Not running?keithdrone Feb 1, 2013 8:00 AM (in response to dtr)
Dennis, thank you for your quick response.
Yes, we've verified that they work
User popup, Justification, USB, Email, Web, File System, Printing, Clipboard, etc. They all result in auto-tagging, notification, send to evidence, etc.
Within EPO 4.6, when we go to System Tree and view product details for DLP, it shows the 'next discovery 2/2/2013 at 11pm'. This is incorrect, and has never changed regardless of the policies and schedules we attempt to apply.
I've also verified using the DLP Agent Diagnostic Tool that the policies and 'discovery rules' are applied to the endpoints, but the tool does not appear to provide schedule information.
CPU/Memory options are set liberally, only to pause if it hits 95% and no other programs are running on these test machines.
5. Re: Host DLP file discovery - Not running?keithdrone Feb 5, 2013 9:59 AM (in response to keithdrone)
This has been resolved.
We had to access the policy for DLP from the EPO policies (such as from Policy Catalog or System Tree) for the DLP agent configuration.
For whatever reason, this agent configuration overwrites the agent configuration specified in the DLP interface.
If anyone knows how to sync these, that would be appriciated.

Apple was found guilty in July of conspiring with publishers to fix the price of eBooks. As punishment, Apple must delete existing contracts with publishers and negotiate new ones, one at a time to avoid new conspiracy. The government is also pushing for Apple to let Amazon and others sell their books from Apple's iPhones and iPads.
The whole story is framed like this: Apple and publishers are the bad guys, conspiring against victim Amazon to screw readers out of reasonably priced eBooks. So government, the hero, steps in and sets it right. Everyone lives happily every after.
It sounds like a bad fairy tale. Unfortunately, the true story that nobody is telling is actually something of a Shakespearean tragedy.
Here's the true and tragic story of how Apple ended up helping Amazon become the Mother of All Monopolies.

A much more recent one: pulled a back muscle bending over to pick up a 10-pound cat. I felt like such an idiot for that one. I had just bent over the wrong way, and next thing I knew, I felt my back twist, and I'd pulled a muscle.

Reality Check
Reality Check for Dec. 2
- Photo: Dennis Van Tine/Retna Ltd.2 of 14
Hell must've frozen over because Jon Gosselin is now gainfully employed, and his job does not have anything to do with reality TV or him being Kate's whipping post. "Jon is back at work at a normal job not in media or entertainment," an insider tells E!. "He's working in technology, which he did before the show … He is happy as can be." (Sigh, we remember those pre-Gosselin salad days.) We're just not sure if we're more surprised that he got off his butt or that someone is crazy enough to hire him. (E!)

Menomonee Falls plans to keep Radisson open
Receiver seeks more control over hotel until it is sold
Menomonee Falls - The village of Menomonee Falls has every intention of working to keep the Radisson Hotel open, with trustees supporting a new petition that would expand the power of the receiver currently in charge of hotel operations.
The hotel, located on Main Street, has been at the center of litigation over the past year after the village provided a $17.65 million loan to the owner Lodging Investors LLC, which did not make its first two debt payments. As a result, the village filed a foreclosure suit in summer.
A court-appointed receiver, Seth Dizard, has been in charge of hotel operations and monitoring finances over the past year. According to village Attorney Randall Crocker, who made a presentation to the Village Board on Monday, Dizard filed a petition last week asking the court to expand his powers over the hotel. The Waukesha County Circuit Court has scheduled a hearing on this motion for early February.
The village supports the action.
"The village's and the receiver's latest actions are additional steps taken to fully and forcibly protect the rights and interests of the village through the court proceedings," Crocker said. "We remain confident that a result can be achieved through that process which will protect the village's interests."
Crocker said the receiver hopes the court will allow him to market and sell the hotel, make a voluntary assignment for the benefit of creditors, and remove Lodging Investors' management authority over the hotel.
For now, Crocker said the hotel will continue to be operated by Dizard.
Village President Randy Newman said the Nov. 1 interest payment on the loan has been made. The next interest payment is due May 1. He said the intention is to keep the hotel open and running for many years, as it is an asset to the village.
Crocker agreed, noting that operation, as well as use, of the hotel have all been positive.
"It's a very valuable asset," Crocker said. "It's a great location, and it's getting a lot of usage - and I think it will continue to stay that way."
Crocker's complete report on
the Radisson is available on the
Menomonee Falls village website at menomonee-falls.org.

Mitt Romney named Representative Paul Ryan as his vice-presidential nominee early Saturday morning (August 11). The Wisconsin congressman was officially announced during a rally in Norfolk, Virginia, with the presidential hopeful introducing "America's Comeback Team."
During his introduction, Romney emphasized Ryan's background. Ryan was first elected to the House at age 28. "His leadership begins with character and value. Paul Ryan works in Washington, but his beliefs remain firmly rooted in Janesville, Wisconsin.
"He combines a profound sense of responsibility from what we owe the next generation and an unbounded optimism in America's future and an understanding of all the wonderful things the American people can do," Romney added.
The seven-term congressman walked to the stage in a less formal look — no tie — and took jabs at the competition. "This is a crucial moment in the time of our nation," Ryan said. "President Obama is part of the problem, and Mitt Romney is part of the solution. This is a record of failure. President Obama and too many like him in Washington have refused to make difficult decisions because they are more worried about the next election than they are about the next generation."
National debt, continued high unemployment and small businesses and entrepreneurship were among the major themes of his speech, in which he emphasized what's at stake in this election. "We are in a different and dangerous moment," Ryan said. "We're running out of time, and we can't afford four more years of this."
He also quoted his father, who died when Ryan was in high school: "Another thing my dad would say is every generation leaves their children better off. For the first time in our generation, we are on a path that would undo that legacy. It is our duty to save the American dream for our children and theirs.
"I hear some people say that this is just the new normal," he continued. "Higher unemployment, declining incomes and crushing debt is not the new normal. It is the result of misguided policies and, next January, will be the result of a comeback.
Early Saturday, the website RomneyRyan.com went live. As of now, the website is mostly focused on a place to make donations and will give donors the opportunity to meet them.
At age 42, Paul Ryan is the first member of Generation X to serve on a national ticket.
With only 86 days until the election, both Romney and Ryan are expected to campaign throughout Virginia, a critical swing state, for the remainder of the day.
Check back for coverage on the 2012 election, and stick with Power Of 12 throughout the presidential election season.

Oh, memories of our younger days. Some of my childhood pics were eaten by termites. Yikes! My cousin now works in Nigeria.
Are you an original Nigerian? Nice photos of there.
Thanks for visiting my DC pages, it's not finished yet though. I'd wear the Hope Diamond, and all the other gigantic gems on display in the museum. Wow! My eyes popped when I saw them
Wow...how was Nigeria Heidi! Was it like the Philippines? I wonder if my mom would love to go here...
diplomat ba si ama at napunta kayo sa nigeria? wow, kainggit naman! 600 to 700 dollars jal..pero since nasa tate ka, diba dumadaan muna ng japan bago dating sa pinas?? so siguro pwede ka na magsidetrip muna bago punta pinas...
Hi Heidi, you was really fortunate to have lived in Nigeria at such a young age and have your lovely memories.

Modest Mouse work with Big Boi
Wait what.
This is either going to be really awesome, or just a flop.
video was cool.
As long as it's better than We Were Dead, withn't care who they work with.
Big Boi? w t f
if danger mouse can do great work with cee lo and james mercer, why wouldn't something like this work?
two different sides of the spectrum. i don't see how it could blend, but cant cancel out the option i guess.
Did anyone think Kanye and Bon Iver would work? I'm not worried about it, more intrigued.
Why are you all even worried. If anyone could pull off quirkiness like this, it's this band. I'm definitely intrigued.
Pretty non-judgmental community here on Sputnik, eh?
Digging: Laura Stevenson - Cocksure
hoping for the best.
Should be interesting - won't hold my breath though
I'm excited, regardless. New song sounds awesome, too.
This makes me really nervous. Hopefully it turns out alright
Do not know if want. Will definitely be interesting.
will prolly be awesome.
Epic indie rock mixes with hip/hop. Odd
Should be sweet.
modest mouse will murder all of you.
mark my words
haha the only reason I didn't submit this as news is because I couldn't figure out how to make the title fit. Well played sir, well played.
That's always the biggest obstacle.
i trust in isaac
Hey, look at the bright side, at least it's not Dan The Automator..
thom yorke + mf doom, kanye + bon iver, modest mouse + big boi? i mean, even if none of them are ever any good it's cool that they both respect the works of one another. eventually something like that will pan out...
looking forward to this... sounds interesting
Very interested to see how this works out.
i mean, even if none of them are ever any good it's cool that they both respect the works of one another. eventually something like that will pan out...
lost in the world was so good I don't know what you're saying
You guys are acting like he's working with fuckin' Gucci Mane or something. Big Boi is one of the most absolutely unique artists in hip-hop. I'm excited.
Pretty big fan of both, so i'm pretty excited
For reals?
This will be good Big Boi is the man.
Wierd, but could turn out really good. I used to love these guys
poo and cereal
For those of you that don't know, Big Boi is half of Outkast. He's a monster on the mic.
I think its MM I'm more worried about making this work well than BB. Big dropped one of my favorite albums of last year, but I haven't heard much I love from Mouse in since like '04
next up. waka flocka flame and arcade fire will do an album.
Not going to hate until i hear some material. If anyone has potential to make an impossible concept awesome, its modest mouse.
"I trust in isaac"
same here, innocent until proven guilty.
Thanks for the nice response, Andcas.
I was just mentioning it because lots of people that I know don't even know who Big Boi is, but since you guys are all such music geniuses I guess it was a stupid comment.

"This is either going to be really awesome, or just a flop."
modest boi
I don't think this will be as bad as you guys are making it out to be. I mean, it's not like it's Lil Wayne or Waka Floka working with your favorite band. Modest Mouse and BB are both great artists. Considering Big Boi has never done anything wack musically (in my opinion), I don't think he's going to start here.
Fuck. No. This is not happening.
I was hoping that it was only coincidence that people were listing Kanye West next to Modest Mouse when mentioning their favorite bands. The musical crossover was inevitable.
Soon we're gonna get Modest Mouse's Herp the Way You Derp feat. Eminem, Little Jon, and Usher SKRILLEX REMIX.
I like Skrillex, but you get my point. Why do we always have to have pop songs "featuring" other singers.
They could have picked someone more close to their style at least. Old Mouse is gone. QQ

|Reviews for The Lady of Casterly Rock
| Rosana chapter 1 . 11/11
Part 2! For God's sake, part 2! Incredibly well written and engrossing fic. I think I've read it about a dozen times already. Sincerely hoping you do another part. The progression of their relationship has me fascinated.
| Vwchick chapter 1 . 5/11
Awwwww I some want more please!
Great one shit- that I hope you have another written ;) thanks
| Wren015 chapter 1 . 4/7
Absolutely lovely! I adore every bit of this. The progression of their relationship felt quite natural and I especially enjoyed Sansa's little dash of bloodlust at the end. I love it when authors manage to keep Sansa's sweetness without turning her into a doe-eyed saint. Though I'm open to shipping Sansa with pretty much anybody, Sansa/Jaime has never been a ship I'm particularly fond of. Recently I found myself rather curious about it, so I decided to take a peek at some fanfic. I'm sure glad I did!
| ThatGoTGirl chapter 1 . 3/21
This is one of the best Jaime/Sansa fics that I have ever read. I have always liked this pairing :) I hope that you can continue this...part 2? hehehe
| ThamasD chapter 1 . 2/22
Eagerly anticipating the next part, if indeed you make this a Part One, and a Part Two.
| white-clouds chapter 1 . 10/26/2014
This fic has officially converted me into a Sansa/Jaime shipper! I've read your other Sansa/Jaime fics but this is my absolute favourite! I like the slow build romance between them. Makes everything so much more possible and realistic. I look forward to reading more of your works!
| GalanthaDreams chapter 1 . 10/6/2014
Magic, pure magic.
| bluegoldrose chapter 1 . 8/15/2014
Wonderful story!
| jessiejellie chapter 1 . 7/13/2014
i love this so much. i'd love it to be a two-part fic, though, just to tie any loose endings off. :)
| not a tenshi chapter 1 . 6/30/2014
The story is so wonderfully put together. From the starting off with Sansa's motherliness with Tommen-I like the idea of having the king on Sansa's side-to Jaime warming up to Sansa... nothing felt out of place. It's also heartwarming that Jaime held respect for Sansa even though priorly he didn't want to touch her. I loved his episode of protectiveness.
Beautiful, thank you for writing it.
| lylame chapter 1 . 6/28/2014
I like how you didn't make Jaime turn his back on his twin right away. THat is the problem with this ship is that Jaime has had one love his entire life and he can't turn that off right away. I wish there was a follow up.
| La Boricua Cullen chapter 1 . 6/5/2014
This should definitely be a two parter! I would love to see Sansa and Jaime kicking ass and taking names in King's Landing. To see them "play the game" against Cersei and her sycophants. Please, part 2!
| aladyofgondor chapter 1 . 5/27/2014
I had to tell myself aggressively not to cry out in awe at how wonderful this was. Also not to cry out in general because Jaime and Sansa were just so perfect in this like I love how you wrote the both of them! Wonderful! Absolutely mind blowing!
| LilithLoved chapter 1 . 5/4/2014
Really, really, wonderful. As other reviewers have said, I love how in character everyone is throughout the entire work. Normally, I am disappointed at the brevity of one-shots, but this is fantastically paced and the ending was very well done. I am not surprised that you have won an award for this story! I am off now to look for more. Thanks, ever so much :)
| Equal-Opportunity-Reader chapter 1 . 4/1/2014
Any chance of us seeing Jaime follow through with his promise to chop their heads off?
