|FOR408.1: Digital Forensics Fundamentals and Evidence Acquisition
|Christian Prickaerts
Sat Nov 2nd, 2013
Focus: Investigations begin with firm knowledge of proper evidence acquisition and analysis. Digital Forensics is more than just using a tool that automatically recovers data. Digital Forensics requires analytical skills. Today you will learn how the professionals accomplish digital forensics.
At first, investigating a case appears to be a daunting task. The hardest part of forensics is not recovering data, but understanding how the recovered evidence can prove a case. On day one, students become familiar with fundamental forensic topics that every investigator should know.
Securing or "bagging and tagging" digital evidence can be tricky. Each computer forensics examiner should be familiar with different methods of successfully acquiring and maintaining the integrity of the evidence. Starting with the foundations from law enforcement training in proper evidence-handling procedures, you will learn firsthand the best methods to obtain evidence in a case. You will use the Wiebetech Forensic Ultradock v5 Write Blocker, part of your Windows SIFTkit, to obtain evidence from a hard drive using the most popular tools in the field. You will learn how to use toolkits to obtain memory, encrypted or unencrypted hard disk images, and protected files from a computer system that is running or powered off.
CPE/CMU Credits: 6
|FOR408.2: Core Windows Forensics Part I: String Search, Data Carving, and E-mail Forensics
|Christian Prickaerts
Sun Nov 3rd, 2013
Focus: Moving quickly from evidence acquisition, you will begin your investigation using the same cutting-edge tools used by the pros. You will learn how major forensic suites can facilitate and expedite the investigative process. In addition, you will learn how to recover and analyze e-mail, the most popular form of communication. Client-based, server-based, mobile, and web-based email forensic analysis is discussed in-depth and students use their knowledge to solve a realistic spam e-mail case.
The section begins with the analysis of electronic evidence using commercial and freely available tools packaged into the Windows SIFT Workstation. You will learn how to recover deleted data from evidence, perform string searches using a word list, and begin to piece together the events that occurred. Today's course is critical to anyone performing digital forensics and provides the most up-to-date techniques to acquire and analyze digital evidence.
Forensics investigations involving e-mail occur every day. However, e-mail examinations require the investigator to pull data locally or from an e-mail server, or even recover web-based e-mail fragments from temporary files left by a web browser. Students will learn the critical steps needed to investigate Outlook, Exchange, Webmail, and even Lotus Notes e-mail stores.
This course is very hands-on. Students will acquire a disk image and begin analysis of a case that will require them to use the skills presented throughout the section.
CPE/CMU Credits: 6
|FOR408.3: Core Windows Forensics Part II - Registry and USB Device Analysis
|Christian Prickaerts
Mon Nov 4th, 2013
FOCUS: Focus on Windows XP, Windows 7, and Windows 8 Registry Analysis and USB Device Forensics.
Our journey continues with the Windows Registry, where the digital forensic investigator will learn how to discover critical user and system information pertinent to almost any investigation. Each examiner will learn how to navigate and examine the Registry to obtain user profile data and system data. The course teaches forensic investigators how to prove that a specific user performed key word searches, ran specific programs, opened and saved files, perused folders, and used removable devices.
Removable storage device investigations are often a key part of performing computer forensics. We will show you how to perform in-depth USB device examinations on Windows 8, Windows 7, Vista, and Windows XP machines. You will learn how to determine when a storage device was first and last plugged in, its vendor/make/model, and even the unique serial number of the device used.
Throughout the section, investigators will use their skills in a real hands-on case, exploring evidence and analyzing evidence.
CPE/CMU Credits: 6
|FOR408.4: Core Windows Forensics Part III - Artifact and Log File Analysis
|Christian Prickaerts
Tue Nov 5th, 2013
Focus: Suspects unknowingly create hundreds of files that link back to their actions on a system. Learn how to examine key files such as link files, Windows prefetch, pagefile/system memory, and more. The latter part of the section centers on examining Windows log files, demonstrating their usefulness in both simple and complex cases.
Continuing from the previous section, the investigator will focus on key files found on the Windows operating system containing evidence. We start with examining the pagefile, system memory, and unallocated space, all difficult-to-access locations that can offer the critical data for your case. Examine key evidentiary links to pictures, printed office documents, and files copied to a removable device.
Windows Log File analysis has solved more cases than possibly any other type of analysis. Understanding the locations and content of these files is crucial to the success of any type of investigator. Many investigators overlook these files because they do not have adequate knowledge or tools to get the job done. The last part of the section will arm each investigator with the core knowledge and capability to maintain this crucial skill for many years to come.
CPE/CMU Credits: 6
|FOR408.5: Core Windows Forensics Part IV: Web Browser Forensics- Firefox, Internet Explorer, and Chrome
|Christian Prickaerts
Wed Nov 6th, 2013
Focus: Internet Explorer and Firefox Browser Digital Forensics. Learn how to examine exactly what an individual did while surfing via their web-browser. The results will give you pause the next time you use the web.
With the increasing use of the web and the shift toward cloud computing using web-based applications, it is essential that browser forensic analysis is key to the investigator's skills. The investigator will explore comprehensive web browser evidence created during the use of Internet Explorer and Firefox. The analyst will learn how to examine cookies, history, and Internet cache files of the suspect's system. We will show you where you can examine these files and the common mistakes amateur investigators make when looking at browser artifacts.
Throughout the section, the investigator will utilize their skills in real hands-on cases, exploring evidence created by Firefox and Internet Explorer and Windows OS artifacts.
CPE/CMU Credits: 6

|FOR408.6: Windows Digital Forensic Challenge and Mock Trial
|Christian Prickaerts
Thu Nov 7th, 2013
Focus: This section revolves around the Windows Vista/7-based Digital Forensic Challenge. There has been a murder-suicide and you are the investigator assigned to process the hard drive. The section is a capstone for every artifact discussed in the class. You will use this section to consolidate the skills that you have learned over the past week.
Nothing will prepare you more as an investigator than a full hands-on challenge that requires you to use the skills and knowledge presented throughout the week. In the morning, you will have the option to work in teams on a real forensic case in which evidence will be provided to you to analyze. The case will step you through proper acquisition, analysis, and reporting in preparation for a possible trial. All the teams will work on the case with the objective of discovering critical pieces of evidence to present during the trial.
The complex case presented will involve an investigation of one of the most recent versions of the Windows Operating System. The evidence is real and provides the most realistic training opportunity currently available. Solving the case will require that students use the skills from each of the previous sections.
The section will conclude with a mock trial involving presentations of the evidence collected. The team with the best in-class presentation and short write-up wins the challenge...and the case!
The day will conclude with a mock trial in which presentations of the collected evidence will occur. The team with the best in-class presentation and short write-up will win the challenge and the case.

As much as experience and talent matter in high school wrestling, sometimes perseverance counts even more in the long run.
Stratford grappler Nicholas Young stuck with the grueling sport to reach the pinnacle in Palmetto State prep wrestling, claiming an individual state championship at 132 pounds in his last opportunity.
He was second at 120 pounds as a junior and was a state qualifier the previous two seasons but he'd never accomplished that one special moment – until Saturday.
"It was so exciting to finally get there to the top," Young said. "I ran over and hugged my mom, and everybody else. I was just so happy."
Young pinned opponents from Dorman and Lugoff-Elgin in the first two matches and faced South Pointe's Mike Miller in the final at Anderson Civic Center. Miller had beaten Young in double overtime earlier this season.
But Young was not to be denied in their rematch. Young won 7-2, becoming only the eighth Stratford wrestler to win a state title and first since Daniel Sarmiento in 2005.
"I said 'let me get this revenge,' and that made it even sweeter," he said.
He finishes his Stratford career as the leader in victories (166), breaking the record of 150 formerly held by 2004 graduate Caleb Capocciama. Capocciama and older brother David Carter, a 2006 graduate of Stratford, were instrumental in inspiring Young when he was younger.
His 51 wins as a senior surpassed the former season record of 46. He won his last 30 matches, including 20 by way of pin.
He's been rewarded with a selection to the North-South All-Star Classic in North Myrtle Beach this weekend. He'll wrestle for the Class A-AAAA South squad.
Teammate Noah Shuler was also selected to participate in the North-South matches.
Young has signed a letter of intent with Newberry, where he will be reunited with Wolves assistant coach Bryant Blanton
Young's offseason work with Blanton, a former Summerville High School and Newberry All-American, and Cane Bay assistant coach Andrew Young at Lowcountry Wrestling Academy gave him that something extra to help put him over the top.
Young has a 3.95 grade-point average.
• Hanahan's Dennis Flores finished his high school career with a third state championship on Saturday and really never even broke a sweat. He won two matches by technical fall and pinned another opponent in just over a minute to capture the crown at 170 pounds in Class AAA. He won 19-4 in the final.
He won state titles at 145 pounds as a sophomore and 152 pounds as a junior.
Flores is set to attend Newberry College too.
He will wrestle in the North-South All-Star matches as part of the Class AA-AAA squad along with teammate J.J. Johnson.

It's a wonderful route and there's a real sense of arrival at Pinhão, where the river broadens and the terraced hills close in. Cruise boats tie up along a broad riverside esplanade, where a couple of bars look out over a fjord-like vista and there's a welcome breeze in the evening air.

Mosari crown prince Janto is desperate to save his country from invasion. When one of his most trusted spies disappears while gathering intelligence at the Kjallan palace, Janto takes his place and continues searching for information that could save his people. But falling for the Imperial Princess was not part of his plan. Nor was having his true identity revealed…
Now Rhianne must make a choice—follow the path of tradition or the one of the heart, even if it means betraying her own race.
Dear Reader Letter
Dear Reader,
One of my favorite things about writing a fantasy romance series is that I have the opportunity to tell two types of stories at the same time. One is the intimate emotional drama of each individual romance—Lucien and Vitala in Assassin's Gambit, Janto and Rhianne in Spy's Honor. The other is the overarching story that takes place over the entire series. In this case, it's the story of Lucien's and Vitala's rule over the Kjallan Empire, from beginning to end.
Assassin's Gambit, which introduces the series, began with Lucien already sitting the throne as a young emperor and meeting his future empress for the first time. In Spy's Honor, I go back in time to tell the story of how Lucien came to power in the first place. It happens that Lucien's rise to power is closely linked to his cousin Rhianne's secret and scandalous relationship with an enemy spy.
At its heart, Spy's Honor is a family drama centered around four people: Rhianne, her uncle Florian, her cousin Lucien, and her secret lover Janto. Florian, the emperor at the time of this novel, was a delightful villain to write because he's not a good man, but neither is he entirely evil. He believes himself to be stern, insightful, and compassionate, when in fact he is often domineering and cruel. But he's a strong leader and sometimes clever, and in the right circumstances he can be kind and generous.
The close relationship between Lucien and Rhianne is a defensive one: they've banded together to protect themselves from Florian's iron fist. They have a pet nickname for him ("His Royal Unreasonableness"), and they go to great lengths to sneak out from under his watchful eye and quietly help the people he has harmed.
Add Janto to the mix—the foreign spy Rhianne falls in love with, when her uncle wants her to marry someone else—and this unstable family dynamic explodes.
In addition to the romance between Rhianne and Janto, and the related family drama that brings in Florian and Lucien, I really enjoyed the opportunity to go back a little in time and show some of the early influences upon Lucien. What made him the sort of man and the sort of emperor he is?
Thanks for reading. I hope you enjoy Spy's Honor!

Back-to-Back Jaxx
The Jaxx made a good start to the Southern League playoffs last night, winning the opening game of the series 3-0 (recap, boxscore, play-by-play) on the back of Renyel Pinto's fine pitching and multi-hit games from Eric Patterson, Casey McGehee, Brandon Sing and Jose Reyes, who is not the Mets' shortstop. Last season Renyel Pinto won the Southern League Pitcher of the Year title, but this year it was not to be. Why's that? Because, keeping it in the family, it was tonight's Jaxx starter, Ricky Nolasco, that took home the prize, leaving poor Pinto this year had to settle just for being named the best left-hander in the league. Yes, indeed, it would seem that the Jaxx have orchestrated something of a monopoly over the pitching prizes. Tonight the team's line up thus...

bottom 3, no score.
John Hill, I saw this
John Hill,
I saw this article at espn.com and thought of you.
Also your too tough on Nolasco. Yes he was horrible at AAA last year but 21 is also pretty young for AAA. I mean how many guys other than Felix Hernadez (before his call-up) are at AAA before their 22nd birthday? Also his K rate is better than Mitre's at AA. High GB and K rate make him the perfect money ball pitcher. If his AAA problems were because of age and he can get psat that he will be a solid 2 or 3 pitcher in the show.
I heard the ham and eggers

I don't know if it's that simple, cubster.
Currently Brandon Webb leads all of baseball with a 4.33 G/F ratio but no one would even consider him an All-Star.

Did I just hear that right?
Did I just hear that right? Ryan Theriot was named the Jaxx MVP for the season? Not Brandon Sing?
Thanks for the GB:FB
Thanks for the GB:FB commentary. I understand that a high ratio means nothing except you probably don't want a low ratio in a small HR friendly ballpark. I just wasn't sure what the range was to sort out whether 1:1 was considered a GB pitcher or a FB pitcher. It seems that under 1.0 is a FB pitcher over 2.0 is a GB pitcher and 1-2 is a middler.
Some extrapolations might be interesting, like seeing if the high ratio pitchers also are the ones leading the league in getting double plays (seems intuitive unless the infield defense sucks).
The Billingsley no-no is going into the 8th
Personally, I'd say anything
Personally, I'd say anything over 1.50 is a GB pitcher. I consider Zambrano a GB pitcher even though he's been at 1.6 the last 2 seasons.
Haha. Billingsley was taken
Haha. Billingsley was taken out but the no-no is through 8.

Isn't Aardsma pitching in late innings too?
shipman has been their
shipman has been their closer since talley haines got promoted to AAA, so far the jaxx seem to like to go searles then shipman, hmmm??
It's certainly ironic that
It's certainly ironic that Nolasco had a 10:3 K:BB today after I said he was nuetral in it. Oh well. One thing I noticed as that for the most part he gave up more GBs than FBs consistenly. Like 9 GBs and 5 FBs. Then every 4th or so start he'd have a game where he would give up 12 FB and just 2 GB. There could be several explanations. And also, those starts unsurprisingly correlated with some of his worst starts.
The 9th sounded very Cub
The 9th sounded very Cub familiar:
Groundball out.
One out double off the wall.
Close groundout with a big argument (blown call by ump based on the play by play description). Eric Pat 1-4-3. 2 outs.
Single to center ties the game (Dennis Anderson on a 3-2 pitch).
Blown save-Andy Shipman.
Fielders choice end the inning.
bottom 9, 1-1
ah, reminds me of the days of LaTroy 9th innings.
and Cubs vs. Giants...can this be baseball symmetry?

Gameday has stopped at the top of the 8th inning. Google tells me it ended up 8-4 Pirates but I can't get further detail. Guess I'll have to wait until the Cubs' website updates...
Phil, thanks for posting. Where do find the schedule? I have a condo in Surprise, yet I drove to Mesa and Tempe looking for a game today! Thanks!
Dear Baseball Gods--
My trip to Chicago has nothing whatsoever to do with the Cubs. In actuality, I am a Red Sox fan.
Well, if Strop had to give up a run...at least he hit Sean Rodriguez to do it.
jaso has a cycle and 5 rbis...pit leads by 4.
have a nice
bowl of pizza soupdeep dish pizza...or a leisurely walk around the notorious south-side (bring money)...shopping at one of the walmart supercenters...waiting in line to waste $20 at willis tower...
seriously, though...it's chicago, a lot to do. have a dog for lunch, a great dinner, and catch some local comedy.
Strange, because he really seemed to have the Pirates number last year.
Bummer for Jake -- I think this is the first time all year his ERA has been over 3.00, and that will be his number for the year.
Jinx remover -- your trip doesn't have to be for a baseball game -- lots of stuff to do here in town.
Guess they could always try to White Sox (and Bears...sob) approach: Never Rebuild! Seems to work pretty well for them.
3rd time this season he's given up 6+ runs to PIT...only team he's given up 6+ runs to this season.
7 runs is the most he's given up since august 6th in colorado...in 2014.
Over 100 pitches, only the 5th.
coghlan out...got his cleats stuck in the wall attempting a play (failed, but looked great doing it). walking off on his own, precautionary/day-to-day looking stuff...hopefully not worse.
also, jake arrieta is literally worse than hitler. 1-5, bottom 5. ...make that 1-6, bottom 5. ...make that 1-7, bottom 5.
Coghlan crashes into wall and comes up limping, looks like left knee or ankle. Leaves game...
Arrieta inspiring no confidence yet again.
from a sun-times article that I won't link to so you don't have to bear the ad-loading that will crush your browser
When he left Boston after nine years as general manager, Epstein said he believed in the philosophy espoused by legendary football coach Bill Walsh: essentially that 10 years is a natural shelf life for a high-stress job.
Despite a somewhat slumping September for Bryant (233/310/411), he still leads the NL in WAR by a healthy margin in both fWAR(8.4 vs 7.6 for Seager) and bWAR (7.6 to 6.5 for Freeman...Seager is tied for 3rd with Arenado at 6.2)
If you just want to look at offense, Bryant is 4th in the NL in wRC+ behind Votto, Murphy and Freeman with Rizzo in 5th (and possibly ahead after tonight).

Would you like your writing to make a destination, restaurant, or festival jump off the page? Do you want your readers to long to find their passports, grab suitcases, and have the post office hold their mail? Today, you'll start finding out how. We'll cover what you need to know to get started, how to create different types of travel writing, and how to begin thinking and writing like a travel writer, even if you're only traveling around your own hometown.
Do you keep notes when you visit incredible locations? Do you read about a place before you visit it? Do you gather tidbits and retell the stories of your trips, keeping family, friends, and co-workers on the edges of their chairs? If so, you're thinking like a travel writer. In this lesson, we'll focus on keeping a travel journal and cover writing techniques you'll use when capturing your travels. We'll talk about travel close to home, too. Then, I'll provide some questions to spark your travel-writer's brain and share some tips about organizing your materials.
The genres (categories or types) of articles and essays about travel are limited only by your own imagination. Do you want to know how to write destination pieces, food articles, round-up pieces, advice, or personal experience pieces? That's what you'll learn in this jam-packed lesson. With this information, you'll be well on your way to a career (full or part-time, mind you) as a travel writer.
Are you addicted to travel books, collections of travel essays, or books such as Under the Tuscan Sun? Travel books sell so well that you'll find many bookstores devoted specifically to them. In large stores like Borders and Barnes and Noble, you'll find sections and shelves piled high with travel books. Most of them have specific sections for travel essay books, too. Today, you'll learn what it takes to write travel books that publishers snap up and that hungry armchair travelers snatch off the shelves.
Travel writers should never leave home without packing their sense of adventure, sense of humor, and determination to capture their travels in image-filled writing (prose, not poetry). How do they prepare? That's the focus of this lesson. Today, we'll talk about organizing materials before you go on any trip. You'll learn how to plan the trip, how to contact publications before going, and how to dig beneath the surface to find the story within the story. By learning these techniques, you'll discover tricks to capture a reader's interest.
Do you ask lots of questions? Have you ever thought that simply asking can provide some of the best travel tips you could discover? This is what we'll talk about today. Yes—how to ask questions. In other words, interview to get information that will put your writing talents above other writers. Wait! There's more. We'll also talk about the need to find the perfect title for your work, how to interview to get the story beneath the surface, and how to connect with the people in the locations you're writing about.
By the time you've reached Lesson 7, you'll understand that there are article and book ideas everywhere. You'll see possibilities just driving around your town or city. While these ideas sound simple, some new writers pass over them thinking they're, well, too simple to be effective. In this lesson, I'll share professional tools you can use to tap into creative juices that will generate oodles of ideas. This will help you figure out exactly what readers want. It may also help you discover what editors want before other writers come to the same conclusions.
Today, we'll talk about the work of being a travel writer. You'll learn about taxes and deductions, how to organize your home office, and how to select the tools that you'll need to be a writer. You probably have many of the tools already. Later, we'll go over ways to avoid, or get over, that writing bugaboo known as writer's block. Yes, there is a cure, even if you've been down in the dumps with it for weeks, months, or years.
Most writers have a difficult time editing their work. A few are too easy on themselves. Others are ruthless. These same writers begin to fear creative urges and what they commit to paper. This is why we haven't talked about editing before. One of my goals with this course is to get you to enjoy the feel of words before you go back to pick out the keepers. In addition to covering self-editing, today you'll get some valuable insights and information about writing query letters, the concepts of writing on spec or on assignment, manuscript production formats, and dialogue.
Today, we'll talk about research and ways you can find information about a location, culture, destination, and other travel writing areas. We'll focus on how to connect with travel sources. We'll also discuss the issue of freebies, because, depending on the publication you're writing for, you may actually find yourself in a pickle if you accept something that only seems to be free.
Don't you just love the travel photos in magazines? I had to learn some photo tricks in order to sell the photos to accompany my writing. In this lesson, we'll cover basic camera savvy and helpful picture-taking techniques along with information on stock photos. Smart travel writers take photos to sell along with articles, making their writing more desirable to editors and publishers. Our talk today won't instantly turn you into an expert professional photographer, but it will help you take better photos.
As writers, we are idea machines. And we generally have more of them circling around in our heads than there is time to jot them in our writer's journal, turn out queries, or write articles. When selecting topics to write about, you'll have to do some research to develop them into full-blown articles. Once this research is done, don't stop with just one article on a topic. Recycle your research and you'll be able to sell and resell the material, which is exactly what professional travel writers do. In this, our final lesson, we'll talk about writing spin-offs, finding creative sources for travel writing, and combining travel writing with other genres.

NEWFANE – Niagara County sheriff's deputies said they charged a 20-year-old man with driving while intoxicated at 1:21 a.m. in the 5600 block of Wilson-Burt Road, after he was found 15 feet off the roadway on New Year's Day.
Orval W. Harris, 20, of Wilson-Cambria Road, was charged with driving while intoxicated, failure to keep right, operating a vehicle after consuming alcohol while under age 21 and refusal of a breath screening.
Deputies said Harris' vehicle was found in the front yard of a homeowner and had crashed into a mailbox.
Harris told officers he had not been drinking, but officers said Harris smelled of alcohol, had vomit on his shirt and appeared intoxicated.

LOCKPORT – The Niagara County Legislature voted unanimously Tuesday to refinance $13.35 million worth of bonded debt it incurred between 2004 and 2006. The lower interest rates on the refinancing are expected to save the county an estimated $870,000 in interest costs over the next 10 years.
In another matter, the Legislature awarded a $172,000 contract to R.B. Mac Construction Co. of Lockport to repair the county fire training towers in Lockport and Wheatfield.
Fire Coordinator Jonathan F. Schultz said the "burn rooms" in the tower are to be relined with ceramic tiles to make them safer places for training.

School bans rosary gang blingPosted Friday, June 8, 2012, at 12:39 PM
A 15-year-old boy in the Minneapolis suburb of Coon Rapids has been told he cannot wear black and silver rosary beads to school because they could be a sign of gang membership. (See the story here.)
That may sound crazy to northwest Iowa folks like us, but it actually makes a lot of sense.
Apparently, police warned the district in May that members of Latin Kings and Surenos gangs use rosary beads as symbols of gang association. The school's policy bans "apparel, jewelry, accessories or matter of grooming which by virtue of its color arrangement, trademark or any other attribute denotes membership in an organized gang."
In this case, the color arrangement does not seem to be a factor, as the Latin King's colors are black and gold, while the Surenos use blue. Nonetheless, the type of apparel, unfortunately, could be misconstrued as gang-related.
While it bothers me that religious symbols, including crosses, are often used by gang members, there's not much that can be done to stop that trend.
Therefore, in this case, the school is probably doing the right thing.
The family disagrees because the boy is wearing the beads in honor of his grandmother who has been diagnosed with cancer.
Of course they are entitled to their opinion, but I think they should realize the ban is for the safety of their child and other students. Plus, the school said he could carry the beads in his pocket.
Is this a matter of freedom of speech and religion (even though the beads are being worn for sentimental reasons) or a matter of safety?
Let me know what you think!

Rosary beads should not be worn in any fashion at all. They are not an accessory but a prayer of the highest reverence.
-- Posted by Leah Cauthron on Fri, Jun 8, 2012, at 5:46 PM
My opinion is it's extremely offensive for any bureaucrat, administrator, or official to dictate bans based on the false premise of "doing it for their safety." Rarely is that the case; more often it's simply about control. Wearing rosary beads itself is not a violent act. It violates nobody's rights by him wearing it, even if others find it distasteful. The argument that becuase it is "gang affiliated" and therefore dangerous or putting safety in jeopardy is absurd on its face and totalitarian in practice.
-- Posted by jlees on Sun, Jun 10, 2012, at 11:06 PM
I think that unless you have ever lived in an area where gangs are prevalent than you have no idea what the atmosphere is like. They have to take extreme measures to protect those that come to school to get an education in a safe environment. Metal detectors are extreme too but they are a necessity in some schools. Gang members have no regard for anyone other than the life of the gang and they have to be controlled.

As Disney preps next act, stock could see $100Michael Santoli at Michael Santoli2 yrs ago
Walt Disney Co. (DIS) has been enjoying a sort of endless winter of winning for nearly eight months, a charmed season for a company with plenty of magic moments marking its past. And r arely does a company have so much to look back on with pride and such an abundance of exciting things to anticipate.
When "Frozen" hit theaters the day before Thanksgiving, it touched off a global box-office bonanza, countless little-girl singalongs and a new Disney "franchise" – one of its handful of powerful stories and character sets to be leveraged across film, Broadway, consumer goods, theme-park rides and vacation cruises over many years.
'Magic Formula' finds cheap, high-quality stocks in the Buffett styleMichael Santoli at Michael Santoli2 yrs ago
Maybe the best thing about the Magic Formula stock-picking method is that there's no magic to it at all.
Devised and popularized by Joel Greenblatt – a devotee of the Ben Graham/Warren Buffett school of value investing and a top-performing hedge fund manager since the 1980s - the Magic Formula uses two financial measures to find high-quality companies trading at attractive prices.
In market environments such as the one we're in now – with the indexes trading at above-average valuations, profit growth getting scarcer and investors lacking conviction – screening for stocks using this formula can help identify pockets of value that are going largely unnoticed.
Greenblatt, founder of Gotham Capital, popularized his approach in "The Little Book That Beats the Market" in 2005, and anyone can register to use www.magicformulainvesting.com to screen for stocks that meet the Magic Formula criteria.
No, business capital spending isn't set to take offMichael Santoli at Michael Santoli2 yrs ago
It probably makes sense that the stock market took the surprisingly weak first-quarter economic-growth estimate in stride.
But the longer-term failure of corporate capital spending to accelerate, despite record company profits and years of under-investment, should give pause to those many investors who have been banking on such a capex revival to justify 2014 growth estimates, earnings projections and stock-price targets.
Investors collectively seemed to determine that the scant 0.1% expansion of the U.S. economy to start the year, far short of the 1.1% forecast, was in large part due to the messy winter weather that's gotten so much attention (even though the weather trend from January to March was already known to forecasters).
If the era of uncertainty is over, should investors worry?Michael Santoli at Michael Santoli2 yrs ago
Are you really so sure about that?
A profound mood of certainty pervades financial markets these days, reflecting broad agreement among economists, traders and asset prices themselves that the economic outlook is clear and calm, fiscal policy on cruise control and central bank intentions well-communicated and fully understood.
For years after the financial crisis — deep into the period of economic recovery and re-energized capital markets that continues today — a thick fog of "uncertainty" was said to hang over investors, business people and consumers. This was always largely an excuse, a combination of wounded psychology, residual fear from the bust and confusion about future growth prospects and the effects of aggressive monetary-policy moves.
But it spoke to an abiding disbelief in the idea that things were getting better even as they were, and it meant stocks and other risky assets were attractive precisely because they weren't being embraced amid supposed "uncertainty."
Will the media 'miss' the next economic crisis?Michael Santoli at Michael Santoli2 yrs ago
Believe me, it's no fun for a journalist to miss the big story, especially one staring him in the face. In 20-plus years writing about finance, I've muffed some juicy ones that were sitting right across a desk from me.
In the summer of 2002, as the Enron and WorldCom accounting scandals were hogging business headlines, I sat in the Birmingham, Ala., office of Richard Scrushy, CEO of HealthSouth (HLS), a big operator of physical-therapy centers that was fending off charges its finances were similarly suspect.
The winning – and losing – strategies of activist investorsMichael Santoli at Michael Santoli2 yrs ago
Maybe we should call them hyper-activists. Those noisy, pushy, demanding fund managers known as activist investors have been unusually busy for the past year or so, and especially aggressive in recent months.
Few stocks appear outright cheap five years into a bull market — and the cheap companies usually have an obvious flaw or challenge. So hedge funds have increasingly attempted to catalyze investor-friendly changes and forcibly knock value loose.
Yet not every effort to buy a slice of a company and then publicly agitate for shareholder-enriching strategic or management changes is equally clever or effective. Here's a rundown on some recent prominent activist campaigns and the lessons we can take from them.
When you think you're holding an unbeatable hand, bet huge
In poker, it's called "the nuts" – the best possible hand in a given deal of cards. Pershing Square Capital 's Bill Ackman, one of the most widely tracked activists, found a way to approximate such an advantage, and wagered with gusto.
Last year Wall Street cheerily recalled 1995; what year is replaying now?Michael Santoli at Michael Santoli2 yrs ago
Last year Wall Street flashed back pleasantly to 1995, a year of relentless ascent for stock prices, supported by a determined Federal Reserve and broadening faith in a healing economy. Investors looking for a suitable playlist for 2014 might want to skip ahead a decade to 2005, a year of sideways churning in which stock indexes digested big gains, and market pros searched for the next growth catalyst as Fed policy turned less generous.
The past, of course, is never perfect prophecy, no matter how carefully one listens for the rhymes. But patterns and rhythms at roughly similar points in a market, economic and public-psychology cycle tend to be similar, and can offer a rough analog to current times.
A year ago I pointed to the 1995 similarity as a possible upside scenario, based on the multi-year cloud of gloom and doubt lifting and investors re-embracing risk through stocks. That tune tracked pretty well, with both '95 and '13 logging 30%-plus returns in the Standard & Poor's 500 index without dramatic pullbacks, powering a surge in investor optimism.
Market selloff will stop when the 'smart money' quits sellingMichael Santoli at Michael Santoli2 yrs ago
The stock market will stop quaking when the smart money is through selling. That might sound glib or obvious — something that's more or less true by definition of each market drop. But it's a particularly fitting observation now, because the current market tremors are more a matter of Wall Street's elephants running from risk than the ground giving way underneath the economic recovery. The dominant themes of the sharp pullback have been a reversal of the winning investment trades of 2013 (which got very crowded and expensive), a rush by startup-backers and buyout artists to jam stock offerings into new investors' hands, and heavy selling of shares by corporate insiders. This is all on the up-and-up, and all are typical features of a bull market. Yet there was just too strong a sense in recent weeks that those early to many winning ideas were done pressing their bets and wanted to – or were forced to – cash them in. Consider: The first quarter saw the highest volume of initial public offerings since 2000, with 70% of debuting companies having yet to turn profitable. About a third of the deals in the past month had traded below their offer price, a sign that supply was swamping demand or that the quality of the companies was slipping. The offering for Ally Financial Inc. (ALLY), while a relative victory for the U.S. government, which rescued it with a big investment during the financial crisis, has sagged in its first two days on the market, a decent example of supply-driven action. For good measure, Kenneth Moelis, the veteran investment banker who began at Michael Milken's Drexel Burnham Lambert ion the 1980s, is looking to take his 7-year-old advisory firm Moelis & Co. public at a $1.5 billion valuation. Private-equity firms have been exiting rapidly from companies they bought in recent years. According to data tracker Dealogic, buyout firms have raised $13 billion this year in 31 IPOs of their portfolio companies, a record level to this point in any year. Blackstone Group's secondary offering of 15 million SeaWorld Entertainment Inc. (SEAS) shares — about one-sixth of all outstanding equity — as the company reported weak results further sent a message of the sharp guys ringing the register. Corporate insiders have been selling heavily in recent months, as executives take advantageof all-time highs in many stocks and the big indexes. While this isn't a great market-timing indicator – and selling always tends to be active ahead of the tax deadline following a great year for stocks, as 2013 was – it fits neatly with the story that those with the best knowledge of businesses are not seeing good value in their shares. Perhaps most important to the day-to-day action, certain popular hedge-fund positions — no doubt amplified by margin-borrowing balances at all-time highs — have been upended. Merrill Lynch global strategist Michael Hartnett points out that the winners so far in 2014 (emerging-markets stocks, bonds and gold up) match exactly
As Twitter insiders prepare to cash in, investment firm vies to helpMichael Santoli at Michael Santoli2 yrs ago
When Adam Nash mentions that he twice hit the Silicon Valley IPO jackpot as a tech-startup employee before age 40, he doesn't expect anyone to feel sorry for him. Still, the experience of being enriched as a senior executive of LinkedIn Corp. (LNKD) in 2011, and before that as a project manager at e-commerce software maker Preview Systems Inc. in 1999, presented its own unfamiliar challenges. Like thousands of other young members of fast-growing companies, he suddenly found himself with a block of an employer's stock representing a large portion of his net worth and facing a variety of questions about whether, how, when and how much to sell, what to do about taxes and where to put the proceeds. Now, as CEO of the fast-growing software-driven investment firm Wealthfront, Nash is helping create a product to handle this process for the current generation of IPO beneficiaries, beginning with a large group of Twitter Inc. (TWTR) insiders who will be able to sell an aggregate $20 billion worth of shares come May 6. The company is unveiling a single-stock diversification service, initially for Twitter employees only but eventually for all clients, which automates the process of selling shares, covering taxes and reallocating the proceeds among spending needs and a long-term investment portfolio. While a limited number of Twitter-insider shares were freed for sale in February, on May 6 the broadest restrictions on selling by current and former employees and early Twitter investors will be lifted. A total of some 475 million shares, valued at $20 billion based on the stock's current price of $42.41, will be unlocked for potential sale.
'Irrational' sense of fairness fuels furor over high-frequency tradingMichael Santoli at Michael Santoli2 yrs ago
Any parent knows a surprise treat will draw complaints from the kid with the slightly smaller piece of candy. And grownups love a cheap lunch – unless we think someone else is getting a free one. It's an established fact of behavioral research: Even if people are getting a good deal they did nothing to earn, they tend to become indignant when they think others are getting a better one.
This helps explain part of the public's stance of righteous outrage over high-frequency stock trading practices, which have been thrown into harsh light by the release of Michael Lewis's book "Flash Boys" and the author's repeated characterization of the market as "rigged" in favor of these algorithm-wielding middlemen. Small investors, whether they acknowledge it or not, are tremendous beneficiaries of the cutthroat cyber-jockeying among electronic trading firms. Competition for public orders and a huge investment in the technological plumbing of the markets have given stay-at-home investors $8 commissions and instant trade executions at the best available price for a stock or exchange-traded fund.

Thursday, April 25, 2013
Piggly Wiggly shopper Parker Kaufmann has been stopping by The Pig for groceries for just about 25 years, ever since she moved to South Carolina. Monday when she visited her regular Sea Island Shopping Center store, she wasn't grabbing Certified S.C. Grown vegetables or picking up milk in the dairy aisle, she was dropping by to collect a cool $20,000.
Kaufmann, of Mount Pleasant, received the grand prize in Piggly Wiggly's Local Since Forever Giveaway — an in-store game that rewarded shoppers for supporting their communities by shopping locally.
As part of her grand prize, Kaufmann also had the opportunity to select a local school that would receive an additional $5,000 donation courtesy of Piggly Wiggly. Kaufmann and her family decided that Moultrie Middle School in Mount Pleasant would be able to best use the award.
"The experience is just too big to wrap my mind around!" said Kaufmann. "I don't usually do things like giveaways, but I'd bring the game pieces home after shopping at my Piggly Wiggly, and my 13-year-old son would sort through them. He would stick them on the collector card for me. I had a few pieces, and I thought, 'Oh, I should enter and maybe I'll win a small prize.' I never expected that I'd be deciding what to do with $20,000!"
The Pig was happy to help Kaufmann donate an additional $5,000 to Moultrie Middle School. The youngest member of the Kaufmann family, 13-year-old Kirk, attends Moultrie Middle School along with nearly 900 other students in the Mount Pleasant community. Kirk is excited to see the donation in action, helping his school and classmates.
"We are simply thrilled and so appreciative of this generous gift from the Kaufmann family and Piggly Wiggly," said Anna Dassing, Moultrie Middle School Principal. "We're exploring ways we could use the funds including a sound system for our gym, an outside basketball court for students or a curtain for our theater stage. The Kaufmanns and Piggly Wiggly have given our students the opportunity to expand their horizons further than they could have before."
"Quality education for our kids is perhaps the single most important aspect of a thriving community. Piggly Wiggly is glad we can play our part to help support our schools – whether we're donating food for fundraising cookouts or money raised during our Piggly Wiggly Charity Classic golf tournament," said David Schools, Piggly Wiggly Carolina Company president and CEO. "I know the folks here at Moultrie Middle School face incredible challenges every day to deliver the foundation our kids need. It's a tough job, and we thank and salute our teachers and are proud to support our local schools."
Piggly Wiggly hosted the Local Since Forever Giveaway to celebrate shopping locally. Pig shoppers claimed nearly 24,000 prizes and discounts including free groceries for a year, free gas, local weekend getaways and local food prize packs during the giveaway. Piggly Wiggly is proud to be part of this community for generations and to say thank you to shoppers like Kaufmann.
