This booking photo provided by the Fort Worth Police Department shows Aaron Alexis, arrested in September, 2010, on suspicion of discharging a firearm in the city limits. The FBI has identified Alexis, 34, as the gunman in the Monday, Sept. 16, 2013 shooting rampage at at the Washington Navy Yard in Washington that left thirteen dead, including himself. (AP Photo/ Fort Worth Police Department)
Stories this photo appears in:
Contract worker behind Navy Yard shooting rampage
Tuesday, September 17th, 2013 10:07 a.m.
The deadly attack at the Washington Navy Yard was carried out by one of the military's own: a defense contract employee and former Navy reservist who used a valid pass to get onto the installation and started firing inside a building, killing 12 people before he was slain in a gun battle with police.
Gunman in Navy Yard shooting was in Navy Reserves
Monday, September 16th, 2013 9:37 p.m.
Aaron Alexis seems a study in contradictions: a former Navy reservist, a Defense Department contractor, a convert to Buddhism who was taking an online course in aeronautics. But he also had flashes of temper that led to run-ins with police over shootings in Fort Worth, Texas, and Seattle.

1. Re: DLP monitoring onlyRegis Aug 22, 2012 11:02 PM (in response to epoNovice)
That's a device rule that you want at least -- which will tell you what devices are being plugged and unplugged.
As you'll see from the dense following 4 paragraphs, it's really quite simple. ;-)
See also, chapter 2 of https://kc.mcafee.com/resources/sites/MCAFEE/content/live/PRODUCT_DOCUMENTATION/ 23000/PD23614/en_US/dlp_920_pg_endpt-epo45_en-us.pdf (assuming you have ePO 4.5... there's a separate product guide for 4.6 I think).
In the Menu> Data Protection> DLP Policy widget, Device rules, add new removable storage device rule, call it "monitor all removable storage devices", include all devices, exclude nothing, click nexxt, select Monitor online/offline , next. ;finish. Make sure the rule is Enabled (which ironically you verify by the disable button being available near the top), and press Apply near the upper left to crap the policy out to the ePO.
Then, in ePO, in your system tree, under the sub group you wanna test this on, go to policies, DLP policies, ... Duplicate the default Data Loss Prevention Computer Assignment group policy to a new DLP policy that adds the name "policies activated" to it (e.g name the copy McAfee Default Computers Assignment Group (policies activated) ) , edit settings on this new policy, checkmark "logged in user" and "local user" for the rule "monitor all removable storage devices." (assuming you took my naming advice in paragraph 2). Click save, do a wake up agents on the hosts that are in the system tree under where you added this policy. Plug in some usb cruft into one of the hosts that's in this test subgroup where you've created this policy. Do another wake up agents on those hosts to compel the epo agent on the clients to push the dlp agent events up to epo, then in ePO Menu> Data Protection> DLP Monitor, wait a few minutes, refresh, and hope to see some "plug" events.
If you access ePO with a web browser on a machine that's not the ePO server, if Menu> Dataprotection> DLP Monitor doesn't come up for you and gives you WCF errors and the like, check the (Menu>data protection> DLP Monitor> Tools> Options> WCF service path) and be sure the URL is pointing to ePO's hostname rather than local host.
See, it's really quite simple. *cough* *snort* *choke*
Caveat: I'm new at this and the setup was done with consulting help, and I've almost surely gotten something wrong in my recollection above.
The McAfee Quickstart consulting service for HDLP deliveered by Accuvant is actually pretty good on this product and pretty good bang for the buck because this stuff is just ... stupid complicated. I'm sure your McAfee sales rep might be willing to sell you some 4 hour blocks of Quickstart. They're remote screenshare consulting help from what seem to be pretty well trained Accuvant guys. You schedule a 4 hour block with em, get assigned a consultant, when the 4 hour block starts, use it all up, and in that time if you come in with a simple agenda like this, you'll learn a ton riding along with someone experienced who's 100% focused on your issue for 4 hours and has done countless new setups like this. It's not terribly expensive, and you can use the 4 hour blocks any time though they expire in a year. McAfee does their best to make the front end of quickstart a little miserable, but once you're in Accuvant land, it's actually pretty pleasant. Expect to wait a few days lead time for your scheduled slot. If you're deploying network DLP at all, I do not recommend quickstart. Get someone fleshy onsite and experience who knows the gamut.
Good luck and godspeed.

Holy cats, that all worked out? I'm shocked! Glad it helped!

Wow, thanks very much for the pointers. I just installed today and was pulling hair trying to get events to show in the monitor. I missed the bit about copying/editing the computer policy and I also missed the bit about applying the policy changes to ePO. Thanks again!

Corn Products Rises as Analyst Suggests Bunge Buyout
Corn Products International Inc., which sells sweeteners to Coca-Cola Co. and PepsiCo Inc., rose the most since August in New York trading after a Citigroup Inc. analyst speculated Bunge Ltd. may revive a bid for the company.
Corn Products climbed $1.27, or 4.3 percent, to $31.02 at 4:15 p.m. in New York Stock Exchange composite trading. The shares gained 1.3 percent last year.
Bunge is in discussions to sell its fertilizer assets in Brazil to Vale SA. Vale has valued the unit at as much as $3.8 billion, and Bunge may plan to use that money to pursue other assets, analyst David Driscoll said in a note dated yesterday.
"We wonder if Bunge is gearing up for another run at Corn Products International," Driscoll wrote.
Bunge terminated an agreement to purchase Corn Products in November 2008 after the economic crisis eroded the all-stock offer's value by almost two-thirds to $1.68 billion and the corn processor withdrew its support for the deal.
"We don't comment on speculation," Mark Lindley, a spokesman for Westchester, Illinois-based Corn Products, said in a telephone interview. Susan Burns, a spokeswoman for White Plains, New York-based Bunge, didn't immediately return a voicemail seeking comment.
Bunge fell 85 cents, or 1.2 percent, to $69.

EarSketch Workshop at SIGCSE 2015
I'm an advisor on the EarSketch project, and it's really cool. Recommended.
Next month, the EarSketch team will be offering a workshop at SIGCSE in Kansas City. This is a great opportunity to learn more about EarSketch, get hands on experience with the curriculum and environment, and learn how to use EarSketch in your classroom. This year's workshop will also offer advice on integrating EarSketch into Computer Science Principles courses, though the workshop is of relevance to anyone teaching an introductory computing course.
For more information about SIGCSE, visit http://sigcse2015.sigcse.org/index.html
To register for the workshop, please visit https://www.regonline.com/register/login.aspx?eventID=1618015&MethodId=0&EventsessionId=
Please contact Jason Freeman (email@example.com) with any questions.
Workshop #20: Computer Science Principles with EarSketch

Come visit the CS Education Zoo from Steve Wolfman and Will Byrd
Post to SIGCSE-members, re-posted here with Steve's permission.
TL;DR version: Watch Will&Steve interview interesting CS Ed folks on the CS Ed Zoo at http://webyrd.net/zoo.html. Most recent episode with Mark Guzdial at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z1oTtPECHZI
Full version:
It's a common lament that CS education is an isolated practice. You teach in your own classroom, a colleague drops by once a year for performance review, and otherwise only your students know what you do.
We know what you're thinking:
I wish there were a place where CS educators were kept on 24-hour public display (locked securely behind iron bars, of course).
Well, now there is!
Announcing the CS Education Zoo http://webyrd.net/zoo.html, a bi-weekly-very-ish interview series where CS educators (and people with animal-themed last names) Will Byrd and Steve Wolfman interview interesting people involved in CS education (even if they lack animal-themed last names).
So far, we've posted six episodes:
+ Mark Guzdial extols the power and potential of live coding (and MUCH more): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z1oTtPECHZI
+ David Nolen ponders the impact of a programmer's first language on their learning (and MUCH more): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WxR-AjRZUrQ
+ Becky Bates shares how to craft a large, heterogeneous project course (and MUCH more): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8QSOHDo4pVA
+ Jeff Forbes explains why "rapid feedback is better than good feedback" (and MUCH more): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mJVoPE7IeaI
+ Rob Simmons discusses the subtleties of teaching formal reasoning about programming in intro courses (and MUCH more): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b2xd5Bc_-Os
+ Kim Voll tells us what to tell our students interested in gaming careers (and MUCH more): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4JcNHHSPMzE
And in the works: a chat with some of the people behind Hacker School.
P.S. Drop us a line (email@example.com or tweet like the cool kids apparently do to @steve_wolfman and @webyrd) if there's some person, group, or other amorphous-but-audible entity you think we should invite!
The first Critical Research Review at ICER 2014
My report on ICER 2014 is at Blog@CACM here. I also participated in the post-ICER Critical Research Review or Work-in-Progress Workshop (both titles have appeared at different times). Colleen Lewis organized it, based on the "functions" peer review that Education graduate students do at Berkeley. It was great, far better than I might have guessed.
I wanted to participate, in order to support and be part of this new kind of activity at ICER. I was expecting maybe a dozen people in a room, where one at a time a person would present for 15-20 minutes and then get feedback for a few minutes. Y'know — a "workshop." Boy, was I wrong.
Instead, Colleen broke us up into two groups of five. (The small size was critical.) All of us presented some brief paper (couple pages preferred) that everyone read beforehand. Colleen gave each of us a writeup on the desired culture and tone for the event. "Don't be mean" and "Don't be defensive" and "Be nice" were some of the common themes in those directions. At the CRR, each of the five went off to a different room/space.
Over the course of five hours (two the first day, three the next), each participant had her or his turn to share their work. Sometimes we saw data (a video, or a bit of interview transcript), that the group was meant to help interpret. Sometimes we saw a student problem or a design problem, and we brainstormed theoretical perspectives that could help to gain leverage on understand the student's issues or to improve the design.
It wasn't a presentation, and it wasn't an audience. It was (to use Colleen's phrase) "borrowing four smart people's brains to work on your problem for an hour." I got a lot out of the feedback on my problem (related to the Constructionism for Adults post from awhile back). It was enormous fun digging into the others' problems. Ben Shapiro of Tufts, Craig Miller from Depaul, Sara Esper of UCSD, and Kate Sanders from Rhode Island College were my teammates — it really felt more like a team, working together toward joint success than a presentation.
At the end, we evaluated the activity to figure out what worked and what didn't. It really worked to have an easel for a note-taker (not the presenter/leader) to use to track all the discussion. The notes helped the group figure out where they were at, and were a wonderful artifact for the presenter afterward.
Overall, it was a huge success. I expect that we'll see many future ICER (and other CER venue) papers coming out of the work we shared in Glasgow. I encourage others to participate in the CRR in future years.
Call for Participation in ACM SIGCSE's ICER 2014 Doctoral Consortium
Sally Fincher and I are organizing this year's Doctoral Consortium for students working in computing education. Do come join us in Glasgow!
ICER DC Call for Proposals
The ICER 2014 Doctoral Consortium provides an opportunity for doctoral students to explore and develop their research interests in a workshop environment with a panel of established researchers. We invite students to apply for this opportunity to share their work with students in a similar situation as well as senior researchers in the field. We welcome submissions from students at any stage of their doctoral studies.
Sally Fincher, University of Kent at Canterbury
Mark Guzdial, Georgia Institute of Technology
Contact us at: email@example.com
What is the Doctoral Consortium?
The DC has the following objectives:
- Provide a supportive setting for feedback on students' research and research direction
- Offer each student comments and fresh perspectives on their work from researchers and students outside their own institution
- Promote the development of a supportive community of scholars
- Support a new generation of researchers with information and advice on research and academic career paths
- Contribute to the conference goals through interaction with other researchers and conference events
The DC will be held on Sunday, August 10 2014. Students at any stage of their doctoral studies are welcome to apply and attend. The number of participants is limited to 12. Applicants who are selected will receive a limited partial reimbursement of travel, accommodation and subsistence (i.e., food) expenses of $600 (USD).
Preparing and Submitting your Consortium Proposal Extended Abstract
Candidates should prepare a 2-page research description covering central aspects of your PhD work, which follows the structure, details and format specified in the ICER Doctoral Consortium submission template Word<http://icer.hosting.acm.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/ICER2013-dc-template.doc> / LaTeX<http://icer.hosting.acm.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/ICER2013_dc_template.zip>.
Key points include:
- Your situation, i.e., the university doctoral program context in which your work is being conducted.
- Context and motivation that drives your dissertation research
- Miniature Background/literature review of key works that frames your research
- Hypothesis/thesis and/or problem statement
- Research objectives/goals
- Your research approach and methods, including relevant rationale
- Results to date and your argument for their validity
- Current and expected contributions
Appendix 1. A letter of nomination from your primary dissertation advisor, that supports your participation in the DC, explains how your work connects with the ICER community, and describes the expected timeline for your completion of your doctorate.
Appendix 2. Your concise current Curriculum Vita (1–2 pages)
Once you have assembled – and tested – the PDF file, the entire submission file should be emailed to email@example.com no later than 17:00 PDT on 21 May 2014. When submitting the applications, please put "ICER DC 2014 – <Last Name>" in the Subject line.
Process Timeline:
Friday 21st May – initial submission
Monday 2nd June – notification of acceptance
Monday 16th June – camera ready copy due
Doctoral Consortium Review Process
The review and decision of acceptance will balance many factors. This includes the quality of your proposal, and where you are within your doctoral education program. It also includes external factors, so that the group of accepted candidates exhibit a diversity of backgrounds and topics. Your institution will also be taken into account, where we are unlikely to accept more than two students from the same institution. Confidentiality of submissions is maintained during the review process. All rejected submissions will be kept confidential in perpetuity. Upon Acceptance of your Doctoral Consortium Proposal Authors will be notified of acceptance or rejection on 2 June 2014, or shortly after.
Authors of accepted submissions will receive instructions on how to submit publication-ready copy (this will consist of your extended abstract only), and will receive information about attending the Doctoral Consortium, about preparing your presentation and poster, about how to register for the conference, travel arrangements and reimbursement details. Registration benefits are contingent on attending the Doctoral Consortium.
Please note that submissions will not be published without a signed form releasing publishing copyright to the ACM. Attaining permissions to use video, audio, or pictures of identifiable people or proprietary content rests with the author, not the ACM or the ICER conference.
Before the Conference
Since the goals of the Doctoral Consortium include building scholarship and community, participants will be expected to read all of the Extended Abstracts of your colleagues prior to the beginning of the consortium with a goal of preparing careful and thoughtful critique. Although many fine pieces of work may have to be rejected due to lack of space, being accepted into the Consortium involves a commitment to giving and receiving thoughtful commentary.
At the Conference
All participants are expected to attend all portions of the Doctoral Consortium. We will also be arranging an informal Welcome Dinner for participants and discussants on Saturday August 9, 2014 before the consortium begins. Please make your travel plans to join us this evening to get acquainted.
Within the DC, each student will present his or her work to the group with substantial time allowed for discussion and questions by participating researchers and other students. Students will also present a poster of their work at the main conference.

Susan Rodger (SIGCSE Chair) wins ACM Karl V. Karlstrom Outstanding Educator Award
Congratulations, Susan!
Susan H. Rodger, recipient of the Karl V. Karlstrom Outstanding Educator Award for contributions to the teaching of computer science theory in higher education, and the development of computer science education in primary and secondary schools. She and her students developed JFLAP (Java Formal Languages and Automata Package), an interactive software tool that allows students to construct and test examples of automata and grammars. These concepts are foundational to the design of software components, such as compiler parts. Intended primarily for undergraduate students or as an advanced topic for high school, JFLAP is used worldwide in computer science theory, compiler, and discrete mathematics courses. Through workshops for faculty development, Rodger's work contributed to the creation of a professional community around the use of visualizations to teach algorithms. She also leads efforts to introduce the programming language Alice in primary and secondary schools. Rodger is a professor of the practice of computer science at Duke University. Currently chair of the ACM Special Interest Group on Computer Science Education (SIGCSE), she is a board member of CRA-W and a member of the ACM Education Policy Committee. The Karlstrom Award recognizes educators who advanced new teaching methodologies; effected new curriculum development in Computer Science and Engineering; or contributed to ACM's educational mission.

Interview with Friday SIGCSE 2014 Keynoter: Hadi Partovi
Hadi Partovi will be delivering the keynote today at SIGCSE 2014. The interview they just had with him last month on ACM's website has some nice bits:
As a tech industry veteran and visionary, what would you say to young people who may not realize that two-thirds of the jobs in software engineering are outside the technology sector?
I would say that the reason to study software isn't because you want to get a job in technology. School teaches you how to dissect a frog, or how electricity works, even if you want to become a journalist or a lawyer. In the 21st century, it's equally important, or more important even, to know how to "dissect an app" or learn how the Internet works, even if you want to become a doctor, a chemist, or the President of the United States. Maybe you'll fall in love with it and decide to get a job in software, and if you do, you'll be in one of the most creative, highest-paying careers in the world. Most students who study computer science in high school will go on to careers outside of computing — but they will still benefit from it. This is a fundamental, foundational science for the 21st century.

SIGCSE Preview: Project Rise Up 4 CS: Increasing the Number of Black Students who Pass AP CS A — by paying them
I'm guessing that Barbara's paper on Friday 1:45-3 (in Hanover FG – whole program here) is going to be controversial. She's working on a problem we've had in GaComputes for years. Besides Betsy DiSalvo's work on Glitch, we've made little progress in increasing numbers of Black students taking AP CS A and even less progress in getting more of them to pass the test.
She's had significant progress this last year using an approach that NMSI used successfully in Texas and elsewhere. She's offering $100 to Black students who attend extra sessions to help them pass the exam and who do pass the exam. She's expanding the program now with a Google RISE grant. Her approach is informed by Betsy's work – it's about going beyond interests to values and giving students help in navigating past their motivations to not-learn. She does have aspects of the project in place to counteract the disincentives of cash payments for academic achievement. In the final interviews, students didn't talk about the money. It may be that the money wasn't an incentive as much as a face-saving strategy. (Barb's preview talk was also recorded as part of a GVU Brown Bag.)
Project Rise Up 4 CS: Increasing the Number of Black Students who Pass Advanced Placement CS A
This paper describes Project Rise Up 4 CS, an attempt to increase the number of Black students in Georgia that pass the Advanced Placement (AP) Computer Science (CS) A exam. In 2012 Black students had the lowest pass rates on the AP CS A exam both in Georgia and nationally. Project Rise Up 4 CS provided Black students with role models, hands-on learning, competitions, a financial incentive, and webinars on AP CS A content. The first cohort started in January of 2013 and finished in May 2013. Of the 27 students who enrolled in the first cohort, 14 met all of the completion requirements, and 9 (69%) of the 13 who took the exam passed. For comparison, in 2012 only 22 (16%) of 137 Black students passed the exam in Georgia. In 2013, 28 (22%) of 129 Black students passed the exam in Georgia. This was the highest number of Black students to pass the AP CS A exam ever in Georgia and a 27% increase from 2012. In addition, students who met the completion requirements for Project Rise Up 4 CS exhibited statistically significant changes in attitudes towards computing and also demonstrated significant learning gains. This paper discusses the motivation for the project, provides project details, presents the evaluation results, and future plans.

"This particular design allowed us to use photos that truly represented our son's personality and interests, and I loved the ability to change the font as well as put an effect on one of the photos to completely make it his own. The paper and photo quality were excellent, and totally true to color with our original photos. I would never trust our milestone moments to anyone else but Tiny Prints in the future!"
"I have had many compliments from family and friends about how nice my sons graduation card turned out. I liked how I could put so many different pictures on to view. Also, how I could mix colored and black and white pictures."
"This card was easy to personalize and I paid for fast shipping and we received it within 48 hrs, perfectly printed. Great service, this is the second time I've used Tiny Prints for invitations and was happy with them both times."
"This was my first order through this company and I was VERY impressed! I ordered the card with the blue flowers and used different fonts. This card looks exactly like the picture, and the paper is of high quality. My shipment even came a few days early! I was so impressed I reordered. I would highly recommend this product."
"We Love this card --- very happy with the product when it arrived - the pictures are great! The only thing, if I had to mention something, would be the very tiny picture option on the back of the card .. the size is pretty small; however I knew that when I finished the design; not sure what else you would put there? LOVED that they give you a heads up on the extra postage too if you mail this in a regular square envelope, so we opted for them them to send a larger size to avoid the extra cost."

Ouya has just announced that it'll launch a second Kickstarter campaign in order to speed up the pace of game development for its nascent console. Unlike with the previous campaign, this time the company plans to match any pledges between $50,000 and $250,000 from developers and give $100,000 to whoever kicks in the most. The only caveat is that successful candidates will be required to make their games Ouya exclusives for at least six months. As you're no doubt aware, Ouya moved over 10,000 developer kits while raising $8.5 million in its hugely successful initial Kickstarter drive. It followed that by selling out its retail launch, so the company is no doubt hoping to prevent any buyer's remorse by getting new games into the pipeline, stat.

Montana Pesticide General Permit
The Montana Pesticide General Permit (PGP) is the permitting mechanism for anyone who applies pesticides into or over state surface water. The PGP is not a pesticide permit; it is a wastewater discharge permit regulated under the Montana Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) Montana Pollution Discharge Elimination System (MPDES) program. Discharge of pollutants to state water without a permit is a violation of the Montana Water Quality Act in 75-5-605, Montana Code Annotated (MCA).
A Notice of Intent (NOI) submittal is required before pesticide is applied to or over surface water. The NOI is a legal notification by the owner/operator to DEQ that they will comply with the PGP. If the application of pesticides occurs within the boundaries of Indian Lands, the owner/operator will need to comply with the permit requirements of the EPA's Pesticide Program.
- PGP coverage is based on two unique criteria: single county vs. multi county and the number of acres to which pesticides will be applied. Detailed information is provided in the PGP General Information.
- PGP Question & Answer document
- Pesticide General Permit
- Permit Fee Schedule for Applications and Annual Fees
- Application Package for Pesticide General Permit
The application package for PGP authorization consists of a Notice of Intent and the Section E Supplemental form. The Section E supplement will need to be completed for each county to which pesticides will be applied.

The Kentucky Cave Story
Two young men named White, while idly wandering in a large tract of wild, dense forest, in the south-eastern part of our county, discovered what they supposed to be a sink-hole or
fox-den, (A) and with that idea proceeded to explore it. After a little trouble in making their way through the entrance, the cave (for such it proved to be) became large enough to admit of
their walking upright. They had proceeded thus in this passage probably, 150 yards, when they emerged into a large and picturesque gallery, the beauty and grandeur of which will
rival that of the old Mammoth itself. The room, according to their calculations, is about 150 by 100 feet, and abounds in all the varieties of the stalactite and stalagmite.
But, it's not the things that we naturally expect to find in caves that we wish to mention particularly, but the curios remains that were discovered therein. In the northeast corner of the
first gallery, (for there are five, which we will speak of), about five feet from the ground, they noticed some strange characters or hieroglyphics neatly carved in the wall, which, upon
close examination, proved to be the head-rock of a vault. A few minutes prying served to loosen this and disclose to view the interior of an enclosure in the solid rock of about five by
ten feet, which contained the remains of three skeletons, which measure eight feet seven and a half inches, eight feet five inches and eight feet four an three quarter inches in length
respectively. The heads were lying toward the east, each body parallel to the other. Beside them lay three huge (what looked to be) swords, but they were so decayed that upon being
touched they crumbled to dust.
After examining the remains closely, but finding nothing that would serve to throw any light on the question as to who and from whence they are, they closed the vault, but in doing so,
knocked their torch out, which they had contrived before entering, leaving them in anything but a pleasant predicament. After searching some time for their lost treasure, they
concluded to try to escape by feeling their way out, but in this they made the matter worse. They stated that after leaving the first large room they struck a good sized branch, and
continued following it until forced to turn into another passage the stream disappearing suddenly in a huge perpendicular gulch which led them into another spacious hall, the size of
which they believe to be quite as large as the first.
Out of this second opening, and through what they conceived to be three others similar at least in size their way seemed to gradually ascend, until their hearts were made glad by the
discovery of light ahead, and finally emerged from their ugly confinement through a hole about midway, the cliff of Russell's Creek, having been confined in their subterranean
discovery over thirty eight hours. The whole country thereabouts is rife with speculations concerning the interesting discovery, and numbers of citizens will visit it as soon as the
Messrs. White finish their work of rendering the entrance less difficult to pass.
The above is a correct account and may be replied on, as the young men are of unimpeachable veracity. With a party from town, your correspondent will start in the morning to further
explore and should now curiosities present themselves, will give you the account of an eyewitness.
This entire site is in the Southwestern portion of the United States on private property. (A) The entrance to the many chambers underground.
(B) Skeleton number 2. (C) Skeleton number 3. (D) This is their script? designs? records? map? (E) A cloth sample from a burial inside the chamber. (F) A fishing net. Reminiscent of
the great inland sea that once covered much of today's present southwest. (G) Woven footwear, a type of moccasin? (H) Tanit, the Phoenician goddess Asarte sometimes referred to
as the face of Ba'al, as worshiped in the Mediterranean area, found here in America.
Columbia, Kentucky
January 30, 18 76
Ancient American magazine has been republishing articles similar to the specimen included above for more than eight years. Then, as now, the first question invariably generated by
such old stories is: What became of the alleged bones and artifacts? Countless similar finds were reported during the early populating of North America in private journals and
newspaper articles not unlike that published by the Louisville Courier Journal, 146 years ago. They can't all have been hoaxes, as skeptics claim.
Indeed, it appears that during the early 19th Century partial physical evidence for over-sized human beings were sometimes discovered in a prehistoric context. But complete
skeletons have been lacking. For the first time, however, investigators may actually be able to study first-hand an intact burial of one of these larger than normal individuals. Our cover
photograph shows the remains of such an ancient man who allegedly stood some eight feet tall. His thousand-year-old grave was accidentally uncovered by a private landowner. The
burial chamber contained several human and animal bones, plus manmade objects well preserved by the local desert climate. Other unviolated prehistoric graves in the immediate
vicinity have also been located.
Ancient American will shortly be assisting the landowner in choosing a licensed archaeologist to examine these finds and prepare a site-plan for possible (but anticipated)
excavation. The cultural identity of these "giants" is still a mystery, although some researchers detect signs of Mediterranean origins. Their burials are said to contain traces of
metallurgy, examples of graphic art, and evidence for a knowledge of astronomy atypical of native tribal peoples in the American south west.
Even so, could they have originated here, or does their provenance lie in the Eastern Hemisphere? Carbon-datable materials retrieved from the site may be able to establish some
time-parameters for these vanished people, and thereby help us to understand their place in prehistoric migration, not only across our continent, but over the seas, as well.

"Forgotten in Time" is Book One in
her Five Book Series "In Search of
Ancient Man" -
Author and researcher Mary
Sutherland believes that the human
race and all life on planet earth has
and is being held captive by a race
of creator gods known as the
Anunnaki. To guarantee and
maintain their control, deals were
made and continue to be made with
a selected group of humans, who
have proclaimed
themselves to be the 'chosen ones'.
Contemptuously they view the
human race as 'peasants' and their
secret agenda shows total
disregard for the quality of life on
this planet.
Through acts of genocide and
spilling of the blood of millions
history was re-written and the
identity of the true people of earth
was forgotten in Time.
Sutherland's upcoming series 'In
Search of Ancient Man' will provide
proof positive that we need not look
to the sky for the return of the 'sky
gods' for the simple reason they
never left. They remain on earth,
hiding in the shadows using their
'shepherd kings' or 'chosen ones' to
carry on their hidden agenda .
"Serpent headed when the
glamour was lifted, but appearing to
man as men among men. Crept
they into the councils, taking form
that were like unto men. Slaying by
their arts the chiefs of the kingdoms,
taking their form and ruling o'er
men. Only by magic could they be
discovered, only by sound could
their faces be seen. Sought they
from the kingdom of shadows, to
destroy man and rule in his place."

which strongly suggests that
not only were our founding
fathers the 'Followers of

from the 'ashes of

Sir Francis Bacon asserted in
his book, New Atlantis, that
whatever was going to be
built in North America would be
Atlantean in its basic archetypal
pattern and destiny
path, and at some point it
would rise to the level of global
dominion. Then it would,
like ancient Atlantis, have to
make a choice between power
'for the sake of service'
and power for the 'sake of more

|"There are rare persons in this world who see things others
don't; persons who connect the dots of existence and
possess an instinctive talent for linking with kindred souls to
reveal otherwise invisible patterns and excavate hidden
truths. Such a person is Mary Sutherland. She is a natural-
born networker in all she does --- from her Burlington
Vortex Conferences and Sci'Fi Café to her public talks and
published books. Nowhere, however, is her gift for
perception more developed than in her latest title." Frank
Joseph .
Joseph was nominated by Japan's Savant Society as
Professor of World Archaeology. He was editor-in-chief of
Ancient American Magazine from 1993 to 2007 and has
traveled the world collecting research materials for his
twenty-seven published books.
|"Mary Sutherland is not simply a reporter of all these phenomena;
she lives them! As readers expect, her studies extend beyond her
own experiences. The author and investigator often takes visitors
on tours containing an inter-dimensional vortex and hosts yearly
conferences and meet ups with many well known speakers on
anomalous phenomena."
What differentiates her book. Haunted Burlington Wisconsin , is that
Sutherland includes her explanations of the unknown realms and
phenomena with tips for heightening the reader's own psychic
awareness. Readers who complete this dizzying journey may find
they can no longer look at Burlington in exactly the same way.
Perhaps, then, this book itself may be considered a vortex. and
whether or not it actually transports you to another place, it will
certainly draw you in."
Linda Godfrey , award winning author on strange creatures, people
and places. She has been featured guest on dozens of nation TV
and radio shows, including Monsterquest, Sean Hannity's America,
Lost Tapes, Inside Edition, Sy-fy's Haunted Highway, Monsters and
Mysteries, Coast to Coast...and the list goes on!

Hi all,
So I'm trying to redesign my site. To test things out, I've set up a separate instance of WP on a separate directory, a /test. The thing is, I got all the design set up and such, but I'd like to see what things look like when populated with the same content as my main site. Is there a way to import the main site db into the test site, without disturbing anything on the main site?
In the end, I'm just making a new theme, and when I'm good and ready, I'll just move the theme over to the main site and activate. But until then, I'd like to know how things look with content. Any way to do this?

Where can I find a 100% tableless Theme for the Admin Panel ?
Where can I find a 100% tableless Theme for the Admin Panel ?
The admin panel doesn't use the same "Themes" setup as the rest of the frontend.
I know that (I allready installed the "The Tiger Admin Theme"). I'm looking for a 100% tableless solution for the backend. If you have a look to let's say "wp-admin/plugins.php" you will find a table-structure:
<table class="widefat plugins">
<tr> etc... etc...
Is there a elegant way to avoid this table-structure ?
But using tables to display tabular data or a list is valid XHTML and very practical, the W3C recommends the use of tables only to display tabular data or what WP is doing, so there is nothing wrong with that.
There is no way to have a "tableless" admin, all admin plugins just use a different stylesheet with added icons possibly, there is no change in templates.
This topic has been closed to new replies.

AIBD California Society
The California Society of AIBD is dedicated to the integrity of the practice of building design
and the professionalism of our members.
We strive to achieve the following:
Raise the awareness of the public of the importance of excellent design.
Provide education and leadership opportunities.
Establish and hold our members to the highest standards within our profession of
building design.
Our dedicated members accomplish these goals through a combination of interaction within the
overall design community, development and production of seminars, publications and
conferences, and participation on our board of directors.
For those who have chosen the profession of building design, there is no greater evidence of competency than achieving the status of Certified Professional Building Designer (CPBD). Application for this certification is available to building designers, architects and engineers - both professional members of the AIBD and non-AIBD members - who qualify.
The credential of Certified Professional Building Designer is the highest acknowledgement that a professional member of the AIBD can attain. To qualify, an individual must first possess a minimum of five years of educational and professional design experience. Equally significant, it requires an ongoing commitment to professional development through a continuing education policy and provider program. As with the CPBD credential, a Professional Building Designer must subscribe to AIBD's code of professional ethics and minimum plan standards.
|Join AIBD|
The AIBD is also meeting the challenge of the future by educating members about new and improved building materials and technology that will impact how we live in the future. In response to the ever changing needs of the design profession, the AIBD board of directors established the National Council of Building Designer Certification (NCBDC), and has charged its leadership with overseeing the Designer Certification Program.

Eastern Europe, Asia, Greece, Germany, USA, Canada
Rachel Barrie is one of a mere handful of female Master Blenders in the world, creating some of the world's finest single malt Scotch whiskies. Her first experience of malt whisky began in distilling country in the Garioch district (in Aberdeenshire) where she was born and brought up to appreciate the nuances of the locally distilled malt whisky. Her career in whisky began immediately upon graduating with a 1st class Honours in Chemistry from Edinburgh University, and to the good fortune of many whisky aficionados the world over, her passion for creating liquid gems has only grown over the years.
Rachel's career began in 1991 as a Research Scientist at the Scotch Whisky Research Institute. Already a pioneer, Rachel was the only female scientist in the maturation and blending department, and worked on developing the ideal bourbon cask for maturation as well as researching and optimising fruitiness in single malt Scotch whisky. In 1995, Rachel moved to The Glenmorangie Company where she managed all aspects of quality from barley to bottle. She was appointed Product Development Manager in 1998, focusing on malt whisky innovation for Glenmorangie and Ardbeg. In 2000, made her debut at global launch events, and has travelled extensively throughout Europe, the US and Asia to spread the word about malt whisky. In 2003, Rachel was promoted to Master Blender at The Glenmorangie Company, the first female to receive this accolade. Over her 23 year career in Scotch whisky, she has sampled in excess of 130,000 casks from more than 80 malt distilleries. This intimate knowledge of malt whiskies led to her managing the whisky stocks, cask selections and tasting panel for the Scotch Malt Whisky Society between 2008 and 2011.
In 2011, Rachel began a new adventure as Master Blender for Morrison Bowmore Distillers, working with their three sister distilleries: Auchentoshan in the Lowlands, Bowmore on Islay and Glen Garioch in the Highlands. In addition, she is an active member of the Scientific Committee of The Scotch Whisky Association and Research Management Committee of The Scotch Whisky Research Institute.
Rachel passionately believes that malt whisky is for everyone, and continues to inspire, engage and encourage more people (especially women) into the wonderful world of malt whisky.

EIVA Finalist Men's Volleyball Introduces Three Recruits Into Class Of 2018
After a memorable season in which Princeton ended a 35-match losing streak to Penn State and topped Harvard to return to the EIVA championship match, the Princeton men's volleyball team is looking to continue pushing forward towards a return to the NCAA Championships. That process includes the introduction of three highly touted recruits into the Class of 2018.
Head coach Sam Shweisky has brought in a pair of middles and an outside to compete for time on a roster that lost only one starter from the past season. Both Billy Andrew and Mike Fuerst will compete for time at the middle blocker position, while Kendall Ratter provides Shweisky another option on the outside.
You can read about all three recruits below.
Billy Andrew
MB • 6-7 • Phoenix, Az.
Brophy College Prep
"I felt that I could get more out of Princeton than any other school and it was the best fit for me athletically and academically."
Before Princeton — invited to the USA Volleyball Boys Youth A-1 Camp; runner-up in the High Performance championship … two-time all-state selection … won 2012 and 2014 Arizona region club championships … reached the 2012 state final and the finals of the 2014 SCVA Classic … team captain at Brophy … helped club become first to have both a boys' and girls' team win a national qualifier … earned Distinguished Student honor.
Personal — born Feb. 15, 1996 … son of Bill and Pat Andrew … has two sisters, Katie and Kelly … enjoys swimming, outdoor activities and movies … may study engineering.
Shweisky on Andrew: Billy Andrew is another physical middle who may also challenge for time at the opposite position. Billy's club team, Spiral, won the USA Volleyball Junior Olympics this past summer. That is the crowning jewel achievement of every boys club volleyball team in the country every year. To win is an outstanding achievement. Billy was a go-to attacker on that team as well as an emotional leader. We are very excited for Billy to bring his talents to the Princeton gym this fall.
Mike Fuerst
MB • 6-6 • Arlington Heights, Ill.
John Hersey
"Princeton provided the best balance between a competitive athletic program, outstanding academic experience, and active community environment."
Before Princeton — led John Hersey to two regional championships, as well as 2013 division title … earned all-conference and all-area honors … named Team MVP … set school records for blocks in a match (12), season (144) and career (348) … served as captain for both high school and club (Adversity Volleyball) … earned all-conference and all-area honors in basketball … set career record for charges taken … named captain and Team MVP … Illinois State Scholar … member of the National Honor Society and the Sociedad Honoraria Hispanica … AP Scholar with Distinction … National Merit Commended Scholar … member of the school's All-Academic team.
Personal — born Nov. 25, 1995 … son of Jeff and Daiva Fuerst … mother was a three-time All-America at UCLA, a two-time PAC 10 Player of the Year and a member of the U.S. National Team from 1989-1994 … has a younger sister Elizabeth … enjoys fishing and video games … may study electrical engineering.
Shweisky on Fuerst: Michael Fuerst is a big physical middle attacker who will bring both size and athleticism to the gym. He comes from a great club program in Adversity, the same as teammate Jonah May, and we are expecting the same hard working, positive energy Adversity guys are known for. With only a few years of training under his belt, we expect Mike to grow and improve at a rapid rate with his best years of volleyball in front of him. We are excited for the impact he will be able to make on the program.
Kendall Ratter
OH • 6-4 • Encinitas, Calif.
La Costa Canyon
"I chose Princeton because it is one of the best educations I can get while still playing Division I volleyball."
Before Princeton — led La Costa Canyon to three league championships and the 2013 Division 2 CIF title … won 2014 Open Division CIF title; selected to the CIF All-San Diego Section first team … earned second-team All-So Cal honors in 2014 … reached 2013 state final and 2012 Junior Nationals semifinal … selected to the all-tournament team at the 2012 Junior Natioanls … recorded more than 500 kills in final two seasons and led the nation with 78 aces in 2013 … multiple-time captain for both high school and club … AP Scholar with Distinction.
Personal — born Sept. 26, 1995 … son of Jeffrey and Cynthia Ratter … father played at Cal Poly; mother played club at Cal Poly … has an older brother Eric, who plays club at San Diego State … enjoys playing the piano and snowboarding … may study engineering.
Shweisky on Ratter: Kendall Ratter is a skilled outside attacker from the hotbed of volleyball, Southern California. His Coast club team is one of the most decorated teams in the San Diego area. Kendall is a very accomplished beach player and has a great court sense and volleyball IQ. Kendall knows the game and will acclimate to the college level very quickly. We are excited for how he will impact the level of play in our gym from the moment he gets to campus.

|My Bio
The photography in this addition are almost exclusively abstract, but I like street photography as well. I like the cutting edge of everything creative. I'm a student of the classics but admire those who break new ground, artists like Andres Serrano, Thomas Struth, Edward Burtynsky, Cy Twombly and Francis Bacon. I'm a painter and sculptor as well as a photographer but like the immediacy of taking pictures. I take my camera everywhere, always on the prowl for a subject or good shot. It's remarkable how many opportunities we come across almost every day for a great image that can escape even the trained eye.
I have doubts about my photography all the time.
All images for this publication were shot on film and digitally processing with an EPSON Perfection V750 Pro scanner.
I worked as an R&D Laboratory Technician for Polaroid at their now defunct Chemical Operations facility in Waltham MA.
I attended the School of the Museum of Fine Arts and Tufts University through the early 70's
|Spoiler alert: I'm thinking my next book will be about...
|Street photography and selected abstractions as well as a small edition taken in the dressing room of the celebrated ALCAZAR cabaret in Thailand.
|Everyone needs to know about these authors and artists...
|Andres Serrano, Thomas Struth, Edward Burtynsky, Bukowski, Chris Jordan, Cy Twombly and Francis Bacon
|This book is addictive. Read it. (At your own risk.)
For pure escapism, anything by Raymond Chandler.
For pure intellectual stimulation, anything by Arthur Koestler, especially "The Act of Creation" and "Ghost in the Machine"
Also, Joseph Campbell, Anne Sexton (poet), Jacob Bronowski, and Voltaire

Day 25: Say What You Mean
- When
- March 25, 2013
It seems simple, right? And I'm sure most of us would agree that honesty is the best policy, when done tactfully, yet so many of us still aren't always forward when necessary. It's important to point out that I'm not talking about being honest from the standpoint of not lying though; instead, I'm looking at it from the perspective of withholding information when it's genuinely important to the situation. For some reason, beating around the bush has become too easy &, in most cases, we tell ourselves that we're doing it with the best intentions in mind. But you know that old adage, 'the truth always comes out sooner or later'? Sometimes, even though it might not be nice to start out with, time doesn't always make it that much better. Point and case, we have a tendency to want to protect people, or at the very least let them down gently, and while this is 100% okay, we need to consider the fact that although the truth might not be pretty, it's in everyone's best interest in the long run.

The character of Nash meets his demise on June 5 on One Life to Live.
The move comes as a disappointment to fan favorite Forbes March, who has the best name in daytime television history and told Soap Opera Digest that he had a sinking suspicion his days were numbered.
"I started suspecting it last August," the actor said, revealing that he did actually approach the executive producer, but the honcho shrugged off his concerns as "paranoid."
We'll miss Forbes March on One Life to Live.
