The second lecture given at the Beginners Course in Genealogy at the LAC last Saturday was "A History of the Census", an overview of Canadian, British, and American census records given by BIFHSGO member — and recently-retired Library and Archives Canada military expert — Glenn Wright.
He describes looking at census as "a giant first step" in figuring out the relationship between people and places. After BMDs (birth, marriage, and death records), it is the most important piece of evidence that you can look at in starting your family history.
He encourages genealogists to "linger over a census page" for awhile to discover different things about one's ancestors.
Take a look at their neighbours: you can discover who they were, what kind of socio-economic strata they lived in, for example. You can also see their name, and see if they spelled their surname different than yours. Was their religion different than yours is today?
Censuses are not a perfect record, he cautions, but they are a snapshot given of a country on a specific day in history.
Canada is the only country which collects religion information, and in the 1916 Prairie Census, the person was counted as being home even though he was overseas at the time. This is noted in the record by an "O", meaning overseas, or if he was home in Canada, was noted with the letter "C" by his name.
Glenn gave out a page of good census websites. In Canada, the site is the Canadian Genealogy Centre <www.collectionscanada.gc.ca>, Ancestry Canada <www.ancestry.ca>, Automated Genealogy <www.automatedgenealogy.com>, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints <www.familysearch.org>, the All Census Records website <www.allcensusrecords.com>, and numerous provincial websites.
It has been quite a year for Glenn. Besides giving courses and talks on genealogy, he has also provided help to the Ancestors in the Attic Canadian TV program. He is one of the "behind the scenes" guys on the show. Credit: J.M. Lapointe, CD
Tomorrow, I will cover the presentation about Civil Registration with Alison Hare.

It is my first time using javaFX 2 and I am having problems with the scrollPane's Vvalue.
I am trying to keep track of the top left hand corner of the viewport because I want to render objects as I move around and I need to know the co-ordinates around the viewport.
The current compensation I am trying to use it:
double tempX = ((scroll.hvalueProperty().get()) * CANVASSIZE) - ((scroll.hvalueProperty().get()) * scrollPaneWidth); double tempY = ((scroll.vvalueProperty().get()) * CANVASSIZE) - ((scroll.vvalueProperty().get()) * (scrollPaneHeight));
But this attempt is not 100% correct.
After this works I also scaling the scrollPane's content, so I also want to scale the x and y co-oordinates with the scale.
Does anyone have some insight in the problem?
I found a solution:
tempY = (scroll.vvalueProperty().get()) * (CANVASSIZE- scrollPaneHeight/tempScale);
I was just trying to make a pannable scrollPane and I had the scrollBars visible so that I could see where I was, but that messed up the calculations. When I set the scrollbar's visibility off, the code worked.

Cherrie brauchte ein neues Logo Design und hat einen Wettbewerb auf 99designs gestartet.
Aus 109 Designs von 18 Designern wurde eine Gewinner gewählt.
My TruMind
Most people are striving to have a better life. They are struggling with a variety of issues -- weight, depression, stress, addictive behaviors, low self-esteem. Traditional attempts to force change actually reinforce the problem and the struggle continues. My TruMind offers tools and services that help each individual identify limiting beliefs that are the core, internal cause of their problems which then allows change to take place from the inside out. By addressing the root cause, we can facilitate the healing and completion of past emotional events. We help individuals modify self-imposed limitations, reclaim their power and reconnect intuitively with their purpose.
Descriptive words with which My TruMind identifies: Individual, Conscious, Awareness, Purpose, Perception, Passion, Enthusiasm, Intuition, Fulfillment, Experience
Individuals on a journey of self-discovery and transformation. Individuals who have tried everything else -- seminars, self-help books, affirmations, positive thinking, therapy -- and are discouraged because nothing seems to be working.
Logo for new, fun company looking to change how people view wellness and success.
Only an idea (please use creative discretion): "TruMind" incorporated into logo with more formal font; word "My" to appear before "TruMind" in another less formal font, perhaps a different color and appearing at an angle?
Tagline - Conscious Living
Like symbolism behind trees (growth, strength, connectedness); Acacia African Tree? Roots?
Design that implies wellness with an earthy feel and perhaps an urban vibe
Design that suggests all answers are found within the individual (subconscious mind)
Logo that can be branded and is classy, simple, to the point
Logo that works for business cards, letterhead and online (perhaps clothing in the future)
Ability to adapt to screen, print, light, dark, multi-colour, monochrome, large and small (the logo must perform under any condition)
Don't Want:
Figures of people, flowers, fitness activities or equipment, food, cartoons

Aww! Kitten Survives 1,000-Mile Trip in Car Engine
This car was purring like a kitten.
A three-week-old kitten somehow survived a 1,000-mile trip over two days inside a car engine.
The driver of the Honda Fit heard the animal before leaving Oregon, but failed to locate it. When she again heard the cat the next day while in Santa Barbara, California, she decided to call for some assistance, bringing in a tow truck driver and an animal activist.
Tow truck driver Chuck Love arrived, and they eventually spotted the kitten. That turned out to be the easy part; it took another 30 minutes to get the poor animal out. Other than a swollen eye, the cat was miraculously fine.
The kitten is now in the care of the animal activist who was on the scene. And in a sweet gesture, she decided to name it Love, after the tow truck driver.

Deutsche Bank Chair in Quantitative Finance and Asset Pricing
The Deutsche Bank Chair in Quantitative Finance and Asset Pricing has been formally launched at Bocconi University in September 2010. Its purpose is to support research dedicated to econometric modeling of asset prices. The view informing our research program is that financial returns are determined by a permanent "information" component and by a temporary "noise" component. The noise component dominates the data over the short-run, while the information component emerges in long-horizon returns. As a consequence, over the short-run there is no predictability of returns and quantitative modeling concentrates on concepts like volatility, contagion, non-normality. In the long-runpredictability emerges as a reflection of the role of fundamentals. Econometric modeling when information matters and predictability emerges is naturally implemented within a multidisciplinary approach. In fact, interdisciplinary research carried out at the interface between finance, economics, and demography generates the relevant empirical models to study returns predictability, long-run risk, longevity risk.
The Chair is also committed to excellence in teaching and to bring new developments to the classroom (the MATLAB project at the Department of Finance has developed a local MATLAB library of routines for the use of graduate students and researchers and introduced a new framework for teaching applied quantitative finance), in particular in the framework of the Bocconi Master program in Finance and the PhD program in Economics and Finance.
The Chair will organize a regular annual conference with the purpose of bringing together researchers, practitioners and institutions playing a leading role in the topics of our main focus.
TEACHING PHILOSOPHY : Education should not be about filling a bucket , but lighting a fire (G.B. Yeats)
Carlo Favero holds a D.Phil. from Oxford University, where he was a member of the Oxford Econometrics Research Centre. He has been professor of Econometrics at Bocconi University from 1994 to 2001 and professor of Economics since 2002. In 2009 he joined the newly formed Dept of Finance at Bocconi University, where he teaches Financial Econometrics. He has published in scholarly journals on the econometric modelling of bond and stock prices, applied econometrics, monetary policy and time-series models for macroeconomics and finance. He is a research fellow of CEPR in the International Macroeconomics programme. He is president of the Innocenzo Gasparini Institute for the Economic Research at Bocconi University and a member of the scientific committee of the Centro Interuniversitario Italiano di Econometria (CIDE). He has been advisor to the Italian Ministry of Treasury for the construction of an econometric model of the Italian economy. He has been consulting the European Commission, the World Bank and the European Central Bank, on monetary policy and the monetary transmission mechanism and bond markets. He is member of the editorial board of the Bocconi Springer Series in Mathematics, Statistics, Finance and Economics

We continue to enjoy our relaxing holiday time at home with periodic day trips out. Supatra is doing very well and is already sad that Christmas has come and gone. However, today she started talking about Valentine's Day and she has already started to make some valentine cards! Always way ahead of us and I am sure she will start wrapping Christmas presents early in the new year as she did this last year. She was very happy to receive numerous gifts from Santa that were on her Santa's wish list and is enjoying playing with her sleeping time Annabelle baby and lite sprites. Jason received his sister's old Thomas the train set that Supatra has not played with for years and he has not stopped playing with it other then to play with his new cars. Cars and trains, that's all he has on his brain! On 28 Dec 11, I took Supatra to London with grandma and we went to the Museum of Nature and then skating which was set-up on the museum grounds. Unfortunately, our camera ran out of batteries after a few not so great pics and had to resort to using the iPhone which also did not take great pics. However, below are a few of them anyways.
I was really surprised at how well Supatra skated considering it has been a year since her last time and of course her balance issues this year. Although not quite skating on her own this first time she did really well with her barely holding on to my fingers as we went around the rink. I definitely want to take her again but probably somewhere closer like Peterborough maybe. Supatra has also been busy writing a story book, sewing, and doing general arts and craft stuff.
We want to take this opportunity to say Happy New Year to everyone and thank you for all the support over this arduous last year. We are ever hopeful that this treatment will continue to keep our angel around for many more enjoyable moments and we are so looking forward to throwing her a big birthday party this year.
Please keep spreading the word about Supatra's need for help in order for her to continue this cancer treatment.
All the best to you and your families in the new year.

System Tap Timestamp Notes
This information was copied from the System Tap file tapsets/timestamp/timeset_tapset.txt, in May, 2006.
* Application name: sequence numbers and timestamps * Contact: Martin Hunt email@example.com Will Cohen email@example.com Charles Spirakis email@example.com * Motivation: On multi-processor systems, it is important to have a way to correlate information gathered between cpu's. There are two forms of correlation: a) putting information into the correct sequence order b) providing accurate time deltas between information If the resolution of the time deltas is high enough, it can also be used to order information. * Background: Discussion started due to relayfs and per-cpu buffers, but this is neede by many people. * Target software: Any software which wants to correlate data that was gathered on a multi-processor system, but the scope will be defined specifically for systemtap's needs. * Type of description: General information and discussion regarding sequencing and timing. * Interesting probe points: Any probe points where you are trying to get the time between two probe points. For example, timing how long a function takes and putting probe points at the function entry and function exit. * Interesting values: Possible ways to order data from multiple sources include: Retrieve the sequence/time from a global area High Precision Event Timer (HPET) Possible implementation: multimedia/HPET timer arch/i386/kernel/timer_hpet.c Advantages: granularity can vary (HPET spec says minimum freq of HPET timer is 10Mhz =~100ns resolution), can be treated as read-only, can bypass cache update and avoid being caced at all if desired, desigend to be used as an smp timestamp (see specification) Disadvantages: may not be available on all platforms, may not be synchronized on NUMA systems (ie counts for all processors within a numa node is comparable, but counts for processors between nodes may not be comparable), potential resource conflict if timers used by other software Real Time Clock (RTC) Possible implementation: "external" chip (clock chip) which has time information, accessed via ioport or memory-mapped io Advantages: can be treated as read-only, can bypass cache update and avoid being cached at all if desired Disadvantages: may not be available on all platforms, low granularity (for rtc, ~1ms), usually slow access ACPI Power Management Timer (pm timer) Possible implementation: implemented as part of the ACPI specification at 3.579545Mhz arch/i386/kernel/timers/timer_pm.c Advantages: not affected by throttling, halting or power saving states, moderate granularity (3.5Mhz ~ 300ns resolution), desigend for use by an OS to keep track of time during sleep/power states Disadvantages: may not be available on all platforms, slower access than hpet timer (but still much faster than RTC) Chipset counter Possible implementation: timer on a processor chipset, ??SGI implementation??, do we know of any other implementations ? Advantages: likely to be based on pci bus clock (33Mhz = ~30ns) or front-side-bus clock (200Mhz = ~5ns) Disadvantages: may not be available on all platforms Sequence Number Possible implementation: atomic_t global variable, cache aligned, placed in struct to keep variable on a cache line by itself Advantages: guaranteed correct ordering (even on NUMA systems), architecure independent, platform independent Disadvantages: potential for cache-line ping-pong, doesn't scale, no time information (ordering data only), access can be slower on NUMA systems Jiffies Possible implementation: OS counts the number of "clock interrupts" since power on. Advantages: platform independent, architecture independent, one writer, many readers (less cache ping-pong) cached at all if desired Disadvantages: low resolution (usually 10ms, sometimes 1ms). Do_gettimeofday Possible implementation: arch/i386/kernel/time.c Advantages: platform independent, architecture independent, 1 writer, many readers (less cache ping-pong), accuracy of micro-seconds Disadvantages: the time unit increment value used by this routine changes based on information from ntp (i.e if ntp needs to speed up / slow down the clock, then callers to this routine will be affected). This is a disadvantage for timing short intervals, but an advantage for timing long intervals. Retrieve the sequence/time from a cpu-unique area Timestamp counter (TSC) Possible implementation: count of the number of core cycles the processor has executed since power on, due to lack of synchronization between cpus, would also need to keep track of which cpu the tsc came from Advantages: no external bus access, high granularity (cpu core cycles), available on most (not all) architectures, platform independent Disadvantages: not synchronized between cpus, since it is a count of cpu cycles count can be affected by throttling, halting and power saving states, may not correlate to "actual" time (ie, just because a 1G processor showed a delta of 1G cycles, doesn't mean 1 second has passed) APIC timer Possible implementation: timer implemented within the processor Advantages: no external bus access, moderate to high granularity (usually counting based front-side bus clock or core clock) Disadvantages: not synchronized between cpus, may be affected by throttling, halting/power saving states, may not correlate to "actual" time. PMU event Possible implementation: program a perfmonance counter with a specific event related to time Advantages: no external bus access, moderate to high granularity (usually counting based front-side bus clock or core clock), can be virtualized to give moderate to high granularity for individual thread paths Disadvantages: not synchronized between cpus, may be affected by throttling, halting/power saving states, may not correlate to "actual" time, processor dependent For reference, as a quick baseline, on Martin's dual-processor system, he gets the following performance measurements: kprobe overhead: 1200-1500ns (depending on OS and processor) atomic read plus increment: 40ns (single processor access, no conflict) monotonic_clock() 550ns do_gettimeofday() 590ns * Dependencies: Not Applicable * Restrictions: Certain timers may already be in use by other parts of the kernel depending on how it is configured (for example, RTC is used by the watchdog code). Some kernels may not compile in the necessary code (for example, if using the pm timer, need ACPI). Some platforms or architectures may not have the timer requested (for example, there is no HPET timer on older systesm). * Data collection: For data collection, it is probably best to keep the concept between sequence ordering and timestamp separate within systemtap (for both the user as well as the implementation). For sequence ording, the initial implementation should use ?? the atomic_t form for the sequence ordering (since it is guaranteed to be platform and architecture neutral)?? and modify/change the implementation later if there is a problem. For timestamp, the initial implementation should use ?? hpet timer ?? pm timer ?? do_gettimeofday ?? cpu # + tsc ?? some combination (do_gettimeofday + cpu # & low bits of tsc)? We could do something like what LTT does (see below) to generate 64-bit timestamps containing the nanoseconds since Jan 1, 1970. Assuming the implementation keeps these concepts separate now (ordering data vs. timing deltas), it is always possible to merge them in the future if a high granularity, numa/smp synchronized timesource becomes available for a large number of platforms and/or processors. * Data presentation: In general, users prefer output which is based on "actual" time (ie, they prefer an output that says the delta is XXX nanoseconds instead of YYY cpu cycles). Most of the time users want delta's (how long did this take), but occasionally they want absolute times (when / what time was this information collected) * Competition: DTRACE has output in nanoseconds (and it is comparable between processors on an mp system), but it is unclear what the actual resolution is. Even if the sparc machine does have hardware that provides nanosecond resolution, on x86-64 they are likely to have the same problems as discussed here since the solaris opteron box tends to be a pretty vanilla box. From Joshua Stone (joshua.i.stone at intel.com): == BEGIN === DTrace gives you three built-in variables: uint64_t timestamp: The current value of a nanosecond timestamp counter. This counter increments from an arbitrary point in the past and should only be used for relative computations. uint64_t vtimestamp: The current value of a nanosecond timestamp counter that is virtualized to the amount of time that the current thread has been running on a CPU, minus the time spent in DTrace predicates and actions. This counter increments from an arbitrary point in the past and should only be used for relative time computations. uint64_t walltimestamp: The current number of nanoseconds since 00:00 Universal Coordinated Time, January 1, 1970. As for how they are implemented, the only detail I found is that timestamp is "similar to the Solaris library routine gethrtime". The manpage for gethrtime is here: http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/816-5168/6mbb3hr8u?a=view == END == What LTT does: "Cycle counters are fast to read but may reflect time inaccurately. Indeed, the exact clock frequency varies with time as the processor temperature changes, influenced by the external temperature and its workload. Moreover, in SMP systems, the clock of individual processors may vary independently. LTT corrects the clock inaccuracy by reading the real time clock value and the 64 bits cycle counter periodically, at the beginning of each block, and at each 10ms. This way, it is sufficient to read only the lower 32 bits of the cycle counter at each event. The associated real time value may then be obtained by linear interpolation between the nearest full cycle counter and real time values. Therefore, for the average cost of reading and storing the lower 32 bits of the cycle counter at each event, the real time with full resolution is obtained at analysis time." * Cross-references: The profile_tapset is very dependent on sequencing and time when ordering of data (i.e. taking a trace history) as well as high granularity (when calculating time deltas). * Associated files: Profile tapset requirements .../src/tapsets/profile/profile_tapset.txt Intel high precision event timers specification: http://www.intel.com/hardwaredesign/hpetspec.htm ACPI specification: http://www.acpi.info/DOWNLOADS/ACPIspec-2-0b.pdf From an internal email sent by Tony Luck (tony.luck at intel.com) regarding a clustered environment. For the summary below, hpet and pm timer were not an option. For systemtap, they should be considered, especially since pm timer and hpet were designed to be a timestamp. == BEGIN === For extremely short intervals (<100ns) get some h/w help (oscilloscope or logic analyser). Delays reading TSC and pipeline effects could skew your results horribly. Having a 2GHz clock doesn't mean that you can measure 500ps intervals. For short intervals (100ns to 10 ms) TSC is your best choice ... but you need to sample it on the same cpu, and converting the difference between two TSC values to real time will require some system dependent math to find the nominal frequency of the system (you may be able to ignore temperature effects, unless your system is in an extremely hostile environment). But beware of systems that change the TSC rate when making frequency adjustments for power saving. It shouldn't be hard to measure the system clock frequency to about five significant digits of accuracy, /proc/cpuinfo is probably good enough. For medium intervals (10 ms to a minute) then "gettimeofday()" or "clock_gettime()" on a system *NOT* running NTP may be best, but you will need to adjust for systematic error to account for the system clock running fast/slow. Many Linux systems ship with a utility named "clockdiff" that you can use to measure the system drift against a reference system (a system that is nearby on the network, running NTP, prefereably a low "stratum" one). Just run clockdiff every five minutes for an hour or two, and plot the results to see what systematic drift your system has without NTP. N.B. if you find the drift is > 10 seconds per day, then NTP may have trouble keeping this system synced using only drift corrections, you might see "steps" when running NTP. Check /var/log/messages for complaints from NTP. For long intervals (above a minute). Then you need "gettimeofday()" on a system that uses NTP to keep it in touch with reality. Assuming reasonable network connectivity, NTP will maintain the time within a small number of milliseconds of reality ... so your results should be good for 4-5 significant figures for 1 minute intervals, and better for longer intervals. == END ==


text: dj nitehawk 0 Posted September 11, 2009 What is this? This is a script which lets you do quick and easy Snow Leopard installs by automating the pre-install preparation process. What exactly does the script do? It takes care of the following: Installs Chameleon 2 RC3 boot loader Creates a patched dsdt.aml file for your specific motherboard Installs the required kexts + boot plist Why use this? Fully automated - you only need to tell it where to install No more typing commands in terminal No more editing plist files No need for EFI strings for nVidia graphics cards. Chameleon 2 RC3 detects them automatically. No need for disk UUID strings. Again, Chameleon takes care of it. [*]Can install to any disk/partition, even to raid helper partitions [*]Can be used from within Leopard 10.5 or Snow Leopard 10.6 [*]Can be used straight from the retail Snow Leo Installer DVD (follow guide below). [*]Not specific to a certain motherboard make/model. [*]Helps doing a basic pure vanilla installation quickly. [*]Can easily customize for your needs. Can easily add any additional kexts for your system The source code is editable Warning: This is not meant for complete noobs. It will not magically give you a working Snow Leopard install. The upcoming iKaros distro is recommended for that. How do I use this? This script could be used in a few different ways but here's the easiest way that i could come up with to get a working Snow Leo installation quickly. Brief guide (for experienced/intermediate hackintoshers): Restore the retail "Snow Leopard Install DVD" to a read/write disk partition (hdd or usb flash drive). Download and extract the attached zip file to your desktop. Add any additional kexts your system needs to the following location: (see tip #1 below) "desktop/snow-installer/filez/Extra/Extensions/" [*]Run the script from "desktop/snow-installer/installnow" by double-clicking on it or via the terminal. [*]Go through the on-screen prompts. Select the above restored install dvd partition as the target. For ex: "/Volumes/Mac OS X Install DVD" so that the installer dvd partition becomes bootable. [*]Copy the folder "desktop/snow-installer" to the above restored location. For ex: "/Volumes/Mac OS X Install DVD/" [*]Restart the computer and boot into the above install dvd disk/partition.

This is just a tool that i made to make my life easier when doing new OSX installations for myself and friends. Just wanted to give something back to the community. I apologize in advance if i don't answer your questions in a timely manner. Im sure all the other knowledgeable members here will step in and help... Last but not least... My heartfelt gratitude goes out to the following people: -The Chameleon Team (for a kick ass boot loader) -Netkas (for fakesmc) -Fassl (for the dsdt patcher) -Voodoo Team (for voodoohda and voodoops2) -Psystar (for openhaltrestart) -iAtkos Team (for giving me my first fully working hackintosh) -Everyone else that's made OSX86 a reality. LONG LIVE THE HACKINTOSH SCENE!!! Note for non-nVidia graphics card users: If your graphics card is not nVidia, chameleon's auto graphics detection will not work. Before doing anything, please edit the file "desktop/snow-installer/filez/Extra/com.apple.boot.plist" and change the "Yes" to "No" where it says: GraphicsEnabler=Yes Then you will have to take whatever measure necessary to add the proper graphics card support by using EFI strings, injectors/enablers, custom kexts, etc. Just search the web/forums for help with that... Tip 0: Before running this script, please go through your bios setup and make sure that the following(or similar) are enabled if available. these settings help in trouble[free/less] booting. hpet(high precision event timer), sata ahci, intel xd(execute disable bit), intel vt (virtualization technology), acpi 2, s3 sleep state, intel speedstep even if they are not available, just give it a whirl and see what happens. Tip 1: The kexts that are included in this package are only the real basic ones that are required to get a basic vanilla system running on most modern desktops assuming it has sata hdd's with ahci support + multi core intel processor + intel chipset on southbridge etc... You may have to add any additional kexts your system might need for ex: sound + network + ide hdd support etc. if they are not detected by the stock kexts that come with snow leo... The best way to figure out what additional kexts are needed, is to look at a guide specifically written for you motherboard or computer model and see which kexts are missing and simply add them in step 3 of the above guide. Tip 2: Some kexts such as network card drivers, sound drivers (voodoohda) do not work from "/Extra/Extensions" if that's the case for you, simply move them to "/System/Library/Extensions" once you get your basic snow leo up and running. Tip 3: After messing with the "/System/Library/Extensions" always issue the following commands in the terminal so that there wont be any errors regarding permissions and outdated boot caches: sudo chown -R root:wheel /system/library/extensions sudo chmod -R 755 /system/library/extensions sudo diskutil repairpermissions /volumes/NAMEOFSNOWVOLUME sudo touch /system/library/extensions Tip 4: This script generates and places a dsdt.aml file on the target disk which will only work with the computer you ran it on. If you want to try booting that disk on a different computer, you can temporarily disable the loading of the patched dsdt.aml by interrupting chameleon at boot time by pressing any key and typing in the following: "DSDT=nothing.aml" without quotes. Tip 5: The patched dsdt.aml currently does not include the "cmos reset fix" which is required if your bios/cmos gets corrupted/reset everytime you reboot. So if your mobo suffers from this problem, you will have to edit your dsdt manually. Guide's can be found on the net on how to do that... Im currently trying to learn the C language so i can update Fassl's dsdt patcher code with the cmos reset fix. If any of you C pros out there would like to help, that would be great!!! Revision History: v1.0: Initial release v1.1 fixed issues encountered when running from within leopard 10.5 solved bash external command dependencies when running from the retail dvd installer increased error checking for trouble[free/less] operation enabled manual volume mounting/unmounting in case of error updated the guide for better and trouble[free/less] install experience Request from the pros: If you think any of the info on this post is incorrect or could be improved, please do let me know...

MEXICO CITY - High-ranking Mexican security officials are portraying the shooting of two CIA agents by Mexican federal police as a well-intentioned mishap rather than a deliberate attack.
A series of military and law-enforcement officials have emphasized in public statements over the last three days that the group of 12 federal police was investigating a kidnapping when they encountered the two U.S. agents and a Mexican marine captain and opened fire on their armored sport-utility vehicle.
U.S. and Mexican statements released on the day of the shooting contained few details, excluding mention of the kidnapping probe. As a result, they left open the possibility that it could have been a deliberate attack on the Americans by corrupt officers or a gross error by well-intentioned but trigger-happy police conducting legitimate work in a dangerous rural area outside the city of Cuernavaca.
Mexican officials declined to elaborate for more than a week after the shooting, but now appear to be trying to be making a case for the accidental scenario.
Navy Secretary Mariano Francisco Saynez told reporters after President Felipe Calderon's last state-of-the-union address on Monday that the attack "was an error and not a malicious act." The statement carried particular significance coming from the highest-ranking officer in the navy, the military branch that includes the marines.
Interior Minister Alejandro Poire said Tuesday that federal police officials were investigating a kidnapping that had taken place a day earlier near the scene of the shooting. He wouldn't give any other details Tuesday "out of respect for the kidnapping victim." The assertion that the officers were investigating a specific crime around the village of Tres Marias would appear to undercut the idea suggested by some experts that they had gone there knowingly targeting the U.S. agents and marine captain.
Federal Police regional security chief Luis Cardenas Palomino also told reporters over the weekend that agents were investigating a kidnapping before the shooting. A lawyer for two of the police has said they were looking for the kidnappers of a businessman, thought the diplomatic car was involved, and the shooting erupted after the agents refused to obey a federal police order to halt.
In the official U.S. account of the attack, released hours after the shooting, the U.S. Embassy in Mexico City said the diplomatic vehicle was "ambushed by a group of individuals," a term that implies that the federal police were lying in wait for the agents and marine captain. U.S. Embassy officials declined to comment Tuesday, saying only that the U.S. was cooperating with Mexico in the investigation of the shooting.
The federal police officers were ordered detained under a form of house arrest for 40 days on suspicion of abusing their authority. That charge can entail both criminal wrongdoing and extreme negligence.

Larry Ellison Sounds Off on Cloud ComputingBy Reuters
Silicon Valley billionaire Larry Ellison shed a little sunshine on "cloud computing" on Thursday at a financial analyst meeting held by Oracle, the software company that he founded and runs (when he's not making into the headlines for his more nautical pursuits):
We've redefined 'cloud computing' to include everything we currently do. So it has already achieved dominance in the industry. I can't think of anything that isn't cloud computing.
The computer industry is the only industry that is more fashion-driven than women's fashion. Cloud Computing. I remember I was reading W and I read that orange is the new pink. And cloud is the new SaaS. (Software as a Service) Or cloud is the new virtualization. It is the most nonsensical. I mean I read these articles ... I have no idea what anybody is talking about. I mean it is really just complete gibberish.
What is it? What is it? ... Is it - 'Oh, I am going to access data on a server on the Internet.' That is cloud computing?
Then there is a definition: What is cloud computing? It is using a computer that is out there. That is one of the definitions: 'That is out there.' These people who are writing this crap are out there. They are insane. I mean it is the stupidest.
And he wasn't done yet: "When is this idiocy going to stop?" And "What the hell is cloud computing?" followed. And then this:
We'll make cloud computing announcements because if orange is the new pink, we'll make orange... Okay fine, we'll do some cloud. Maybe we'll do an ad. I don't know what we'll do differently in light of cloud computing other than change the wording on some of our ads. It's crazy. So that's my view.
Still lost in the clouds?

You said it stood for point of concept in an earlier post - make your mind up dood.That is what it stands for
Not really oofki, like I said:the point of the term people can release code to exploit software and claim it to be for educational purposes only
PoC has nothing to do with the code being for educational purposes, malicious purposes or downright illegal purposes. The clue is in the words Proof of Conceptif you don't understand the acronym, then don't use it or involve yourself in conversations about it
Loosely speaking if you are proving a concept it means you are tyring to do something that no one has done before, as otherwise the concept would have already been proven. Therefore if I release a program that preforms a VNC dictionary attack I am not proving any concept (other than if my code works but that is using PoC in a different context), as someone has already proven this concept a long time ago.
In very general terms - If I find a flaw that can be exploited in VNC that no one else knows about or has discovered before, that I have could have a PoC exploit. If I then code an app that exploits this bug then I will have released a PoC attack - if 5 years later someone releases a program that does they same thing for educational purposes, then this is not a PoC attack as I would have already proven the concept 5 years previously.
So my original point which went over your head and does not even seem relevant anymore, was that the OP can't release a PoC attack that preforms a dictionary attack against VNC.

Blizzcon Initial Reaction
Edit: I'm probably going to do a series of posts over the next week, each focusing on one of the new elements announced at a time.
12 comments:
Indeed. I love the idea behind the new talent trees and I hope they get the specifics right. The new race seems alright because they're being implemented in a cool way. I'm more excited for cross-faction panda monks with an Asian theme than I was for holy goats who traveled to Azeroth on a spaceship.ReplyDelete
I may sound excessively negative but this new expansion seems filled with superficil changes, gimmicks and not much else: adjusted talent trees, kung fu pandas, pokemon pets etc.ReplyDelete
The last 3 expansions have been story and content bonanzas: BC vs Illidan/Kael, Wrath vs Arthas, Cata vs Deathwing. There has always been a nemesis for the peoples of Azeroth to work towards defeating along with all of the awesome lore and buildup that it entails.
Call me cynical but I just don't see that with this expansion announcement and it makes me sad.
If it makes you feel better, Sealskjaer... what could they have really done? What competes with a world-destroying dragon? At some point, you have to worry about power-creep.ReplyDelete
Of course, I could see them going Emerald Dream and saying the Emerald Nightmare is "on par" with Deathwing's destruction (nightmares leaking into the world, killing people in their sleep, etc). And then perhaps going full Sargeras after that. Then again... how many times can you make saving the world interesting? There was no Big Bad Evil Guy in vanilla WoW - you just had a brief parade of situational dudes that can easily be replicated in MoP.
In any case, I actually disagree with you that there was a story/content bonanza in TBC. To this day, I couldn't tell you why we were killing Illidan other than to ruin his day. And while Deathwing has torched some things, he feels more like an elemental force than a character.
I agree some of the new stuff is gimmicky, but talent trees will finally add depth. As for there being no Arthas or Deathwing, THANK GOD. How many times must we save the world from some ultimate boss? I started playing this series back in the first two Warcraft games and it was orcs against humans. If you want to add something to your gimmick list, try yet another big baddie hellbent on our destruction. I need an expansion's break from that.
"... One of our primary design goals for Mists of Pandaria is to give players a wider variety of content and different types of gameplay to enjoy once they reach level 90 ..." (Mists of Pandaria FAQ)ReplyDelete
"... we want more progression paths in the game to better cater to the extremely diverse player population ..." (Zarhym)
Am I reading this right?
It looks like the Cataclysm model of "pro PvE players have raids, all others grind dailies, collect pets or roll an alt" is going down the drain. Let's see if Blizzard can execute on it.
@Azuriel & HofflerandReplyDelete
You both make good points and i hadn't thought of it that way. Looking at it your way it does seem a bit excessive that every time we get back from saving the world/universe another big bad pops up that needs killing 'and time is running out'.
I guess my real issue is that I like a reason to go to places and do the things I do in game and being hot on the trail of [insert nemesis' name here] is a good one.
With the information at hand so far it just seems like meh, so wowchina exists and it has kung fu pandas, big deal. If they wanted to focus on Horde vs Alliance more in this x-pac maybe instead of a wonderous new land they could have had both factions making land-grabs and expanding into the opposing faction's territory.
If Garrosh landed a fleet off the coast of Westfall for instance, I would be all over that. Likewise, I would love to invade an opposing faction capital city - it would be a good way for Silvermoon, Darnassus and the Exodar to see some traffic again.
@Sealskjaer-- Oh great, and all of that Emerald Nightmare spam will suddenly become relevant.ReplyDelete
@Rohan-- They changed the game from "T" to "E", presumably letting the kids play. With the advent of WoW Pokemon, I think I know why....
I think we may well go through the war between the horde and alliance on Pandaria - resolve it by the end and then head off to kick the burning legions scaly/fiery/shadowy arse.ReplyDelete
love the new talent idea - i'm looking forward to seeing that develop.
love love love the removal of the ranged weapon/relic slot. hunters ONLY using ranged weapons, with no dead zone - get in!!!
so much i love about this expansion - an expansion of exploration, questing and discovery. A welcome change of pace, or the calm before the storm maybe :)
either way, bring it on.

Fascinating decisions over at Blizz HQ. I think the most telling bit of news about how they think WoW is going is that they will now offer 12-month subs at a lower price, and will throw in a free copy of Diablo III with each copy. Putting on my business math hat, I think what this means is "we are so desperate for immediate cash flow that we'll sacrifice upcoming likely revenue and take a lower rate of cash over the next year just to make payroll now."ReplyDelete
I'm glad I don't have friends working there now.
"Kung Fu Panda: the MMO" isn't interesting to me, but that's just a taste and style issue. But the business news side looks, well, desperate.
The Horde invading Westfall and the Alliance occupying Silvermoon would be pretty awesome, but after Cataclysm I won't mind a new continent.ReplyDelete
I agree the Horde and Alliance will probably fight some ultimate evil again by the end of the expansion, which has gotten a bit tiresome, but what can you do. At least it's not being shoved in our faces like Illidan, Arthas, and Deathwing.
>To this day, I couldn't tell you why we were killing Illidan other than to ruin his day.
W...what? No read quest? No read book? No read website? No RP? I have the feeling BC for you was just an oblivious moment. I, on the other hand, was so into it. Everything just made sense. It felt so FULL to me, so rich and beautiful. I realize I'm in the minority here, but it was definitely my favorite era and made a whole lot of sense.
Also, we killed Illidan because he decided to rape Shattrath for no apparent reason, just to turn kids into orphans, I guess, and I ain't down with that. He was also making fel orcs to dominate the remains of Outland with, and that ain't cool in my book.
The only thing that could have made it better was female broken. But since when was the fairer sex ever given equal treatment?
"If Garrosh landed a fleet off the coast of Westfall for instance, I would be all over that. Likewise, I would love to invade an opposing faction capital city - it would be a good way for Silvermoon, Darnassus and the Exodar to see some traffic again."
Theramore is to be destroyed by Horde in the MoP build up event. Does that whet your appetite? I think we have to trust Blizzard have plans but to reveal everything up front spoils the anticipation and guessing.

Panda Triplets Born in China
It was a big news day in the panda world.
Guangzhou's Chimelong Safari Park announced Tuesday that a set of panda triplets was born late last month, the same day that the Edinburgh Zoo announced that one of its pandas is believed to be pregnant.

- Picture China: Playing for Pandas, Karaoke Fire, Fan Exercises
- Picture China: Panda Triplets, Soldiers in Macau, Mini-Vehicle
- Picture China: Chocolate Terracotta Warriors, Panda Labyrinth, Autism Awareness
- Picture China: Panda Triplets, Clown Doctor, APEC Preparations
- Picture China: Panda Released, Beijing Opera, NBA Clinic
The panda cubs, born on July 29 in southern China's Guangzhou to a mother called Juxiao, are the world's only panda triplets currently in existence, the safari park said, as triplets have a very low survival rate. The park called their birth a "miracle," citing advances in panda breeding technology.
The hoopla surrounding the panda cubs comes because the animals, notoriously uninterested in sex and famously choosy about mates, only have a window of several days to conceive each year. As of 2004, there were only about 1,600 pandas believed to be left in the wild.
Of course, the triplets aren't out of the woods yet. According to the Associated Press, 26% of male panda cubs and 20% of females die within their first year.
According to the San Diego Zoo, panda cubs usually open their eyes at around 50 to 60 days and begin crawling by about 10 weeks. The zoo also notes that sometimes pandas can become pregnant with more than one cub but only give birth to one, as their bodies reabsorb the other embryos.

Jeep ditched the Gladiator name for their full-sized pickup trucks the year today's Nice Price or Crack Pipe J2000 was built, but that doesn't mean you can't be Roman round in it. That is of course, if it doesn't cost an empire.
When you think of J-2000 what probably comes first to mind is the J-body Pontiac Sunbird, a car that inspired owners to rewrite the company's advertising slogan to We Build Excrement, Pon-ti-crap! Of course, should you need to either remove the name's bad connotation, or just haul crap around, then let me introduce you to another J2000, the 1971 Jeep J-2000 Pickup Truck.
The full sized Willys Jeep pickup debuted in 1962, based on the stout frame of the SJ Wagoneer. Originally anointed Gladiator, the truck could be had in short and long wheelbases, as well as a number of bed options including step and fender Thriftside, and fancy pants Townside. Drivetrain choices included the Tornado OHC straight six and Buick's 350 V8. Later engine options included AMC's family of eights, and that makes this a good point to bring up the Gladiator/J-Pickup's family tree.
As noted above, the Gladiator was introduced in '62 as a Willys. Not quite a full year later the company changed its name to Kaiser Jeep. Seven years after that the company became - lock stock and 4BBL - American Motors. AMC subsequently went through two parents - France's Renault and Lee Iacocca's Chrysler - before succumbing to the fate that befalls most redheaded stepchildren. And if you happen to be a ginger and take offense at that metaphor, take heart in the fact that it is attributed to none other the literary giant James Joyce. Plus, you have no soul.
All that family drama couldn't overshadow the Jeep's greatness, and this '71 short wheelbase edition looks to have survived nominally. It's appropriately optioned with the 360 CID V8 and an auto box - which I think would be GM's TH400. Power is sent to both front and back by a two-speed Dana 20 T-type Silent Transfer Case. The Gladiator had a torsion bar sprung IFS option, but that went away before this J2000 was conceived, and hence this one sports live axles at both ends.
The AMC 360 is the Gen-III tall-deck and depending on carburetor barrel count could have put out anywhere from 175 - 220-bhp in late '71. This engine proved to be the last V8 AMC ever produced, but parts shouldn't be a problem to source as there's a ton of Wagoneers rocking them, and even a handful of '74 Bricklin SV1s!
This truck sports what appears to be serviceable paint in a color rarely seen outside of a Brady Bunch-era appliance, complimented by white wheels and a front bumper that makes the truck look like it's had a stroke. There's also the cool neanderthal brow over the windshield to defy headwinds, and massive wing mirrors to facilitate your hindsight.
Overall the truck presents a patina of wear that's half-way to hipster. The seller's description of miner rust makes you wonder if you be getting shafted (see what I did there?), but it seems from the pictures to be confined to the rear-most section of the bed. Making up for that is the Road Runner horn, original bench seat, and what appears to be an automatic NRA membership entitling gun rack so you can stop driving that damn Volt.
The ad makes no mention of mileage but on something as legendarily robust as the Jeep Pickup, it probably matters less than the fact that it has clear title and can be bought with what amounts to pocket change. If considering it by the pound that $1,800 price tag seems pretty reasonable, but then when have we ever been considered reasonable?
What do you think about $1,800 for this J2000? Does that price put this Jeep on the top of the Nice Price heap? Or, is this a pickup with a price that's a hiccup?
You decide!
San Francisco Craigslist or go here if the ad disappears.
H/T to Rollo Grande for the hookup!

Understanding Christmas
I am expressing frustration at the fact that another of the stores that I frequent has become completely inaccessible to me. Aisles that I can normally pass through are now blocked with display after display.. I admit, my wheelchair is larger than most, I understand that there will be places that are barred to me because of the size of my chair. But, I'm not speaking of that here, I am talking about wide aisles becoming narrow passageways, giving entrance only to those on two feet. No one on wheels will get through.
There was a store that I really wanted to get into to do some shopping. I got in the front door and then stopped short. I couldn't go left, I couldn't go right, I couldn't go straight ahead. I was flummoxed. The store manager saw me, approached with a smile of understanding (hours of training no doubt) and said, 'Gosh, I'm sorry, the displays seem to be in your way. He spoke to me as if I was a stranger. As if he'd never seen me before. But, weirdly, we have spoken before. I shop there, if not frequently, regularly. We'd chatted. But his tone, his voice, his eyes said 'You are a stranger.'
I am tired. I still haven't had a real chance to rest up from my trip overseas and I'm counting the days to some time off. I don't want to have a discussion about accessibility and my right to shop. All I wanted to do was buy a freaking present. In HIS store. 'I need to get to the back part of the store, if we move one of these displays is there some way I can do that?
'I'm afraid that we're all decorated up for the season,' he said.
This struck me as odd because I'm not talking to him about the decorations, I'm talking to him about product displays. 'No, I don't mean the decorations, I mean these displays, I just need to get to the section at the back.' I promise I wasn't whining, I had no anger in my voice. I'm way too tired for confrontation. I just wanted to know if I could get what I wanted to get.
'After the Christmas and New Years sales are over, we'll be back to normal.' He's steadfastly NOT saying that the store is inaccessible to me. But that's what he's saying. My mind is already leaping to other options. When you have a mobility disability, you need a mind that can leap - to options, to adaptions, to solutions. I know I should have said something. I just said, quietly, 'I just want to buy a gift.'
He smiled again, understanding, but his eyes said, 'You are blocking my door.'
I began to pull out of the store.
Then he said, 'You have to understand, it's Christmas.'
All I said, and I know he won't get it, was, 'If you understood Christmas, I'd be able to get into your store..'

Foolish attitude on his part, especially since you're a regular. Ugh. And exhausting to have to educate all these people or hunt for other options. I'm not currently disabled although I spent half a year on crutches years ago and it was an eye-opener. The energy drain of having to deal with all the stupidity/lack of simple consideration seems so frustrating, especially this time of year.

He sees you as a problem, not as a customer, Dave.
I suggest that you give your money to some other store, if you can find one that is accessible, with merchandise that attracts you.
Otherwise, you might do as I do - shop on the Internet. That's how I solve my access problems.

wheeliecrone: I can buy online. I have this thing about 'shopping locally' if I can. I want to support local businesses - especially in this economic climate. But, it seems, that I have a sense of responsibility to support him and his business but he does not see a responsibility to welcome me, and my money, into his store. Another unrequited relationship.

This is the point where I find it helpful to mention the AODA customer service regulations. By which is does not comply with the law.
Christmas? No, darling. You have to understand it's the law.
(one could also mention the store's name online and thereby affect his customer base. Which would lose him money. But they never seem to get that, do they?)
- 5 December 2011 at 09:37
That's so disappointing... so many people see these issues as "come on, you can't expect us to rearrange everything just for you" instead of realizing that accessibility is about equal access -- not to mention, as others have said, it's the law! This kind of treatment makes me so angry. Ugh.
- 5 December 2011 at 14:13
Dear Dave:
In this day and age that is just unaccpetable. In the name of Christmas even! Outrageous!

- Nan said...
IN the name of Christmas seems oddly appropriate . . . where the only place they could get into was a stable, if you believe everything you read . Okay, really, what an exhausting obnoxious experience. My comeback (which I would have thought of 2 days after leaving the store) would have been ... and what part of Christmas exactly am I not understanding?
- 5 December 2011 at 22:51

Very disappointing on a lot of counts--the blocked store and the lack of "customer service" to name only two.

echoing all the disappointed, frusterated, angry and disheartened comments. sorry you had to deal with this at all.

As others have commented, very disheartening and I'm not surprised you didn't have the energy for a confrontation about it. Sorry.

The Lighting of the Trees on the Magnificent Mile with tiny white lights dates back to the 1959 when the Greater North Michigan Avenue started this holiday tradition.
It wasn't until 1992 when the Magnificent Mile Lights Festival as we know it today originated under the leadership of Founding Lights Festival Chairman Marc Schulman, the President of Eli's Cheesecake. In an article in the Tribune in November of 1992, Schulman told Rick Kogan in an article entitled "It's time to turn on the Lights" that "It's all meant to be fund, to really kickoff the holiday season in a style reminiscent of bygone days." "We think this will mark the new coming of age of Michigan Avenue, our hope is that the lighting of the trees will become a holiday highlight."
On Saturday, November 23rd, over one million people lined the Magnificent Mile for the 22nd Anniversary of the Lights Festival. Eli's Cheesecake President Marc Schulman, Founding Chairman of the Event and Past Greater North Michigan Avenue Association Chair joined Association Chairperson Mary Ann Rose, past Association Chairman, Ralph Weber and Grant Deporter (Grant was also a Chairman of the Lights Festival), past Lights Festival Chairpersons, Kelly Wisecarver and Robert Dion, 2nd Ward Alderman Robert Fioretti, Choose Chicago CEO, Don Welsh, and Association President, John Chikow, as part of the Legacy of Leaders that leads the Procession.

Before building Apple into the most valuable company on the planet, Steve Jobs had to convince product designers that "computers" would be "important" to "consumers."
He did just that in 1986 in a speech to the Center for Design Innovation, highlighted by Matthew Panzarino at The Next Web.
The many points Jobs makes are prescient as well as being a business plan and product road map. He discusses and explains how people were adapting to "fractional horsepower computing" -- or desktops.
U.S. & World
News from around the country and around the globe
[Click here to hear the entire speech.]
"People are going to suck this stuff up so fast it won't matter what it looks like," he said. "We have a shot at putting a great object there, or, if we don't, we're going to put another piece of junk object there."
Another fun prediction: people will use their computers up to "three hours a day." (Computer junkies and gamers now look away in shame...)
Mobile computing is mentioned (iPhone), as are virtual street views (Google), collapsible cars (not quite yet) and email (way too successful).

Praise for Wishing on Willows
"Have you ever been through a painful season in life and wished for something new, something fresh, or even something healing to come along? Take this journey with Robin Price, a widow and single mother with a big heart and passion for those closest to her, as she wades through trying to live, let go, and love again. Wishing on Willows is a story of hope that will find you stepping up to the willow tree and daring to make wishes."
—Cheryl McKay, coauthor of Never the Bride and author of Finally the Bride: Finding Hope While Waiting
"What I've come to admire about Katie Ganshert's writing is how skillfully and compassionately she creates memorable characters and weaves into their lives authentic struggles. From the very first line, "The first time I lost my
husband…," to the last line, "The whispered words came without fear or guilt or hesitation," we are given the gifts of grieving and letting go told with humor; realistic trials; characters I want to go on telling their stories; and the
longings of the human heart. This is a fine, fine novel."
—Jane Kirkpatrick, New York Times best-selling author of Where Lilacs Still Bloom
"Just like a willow tree, Wishing on Willows evokes grace, humility, and beauty. A well-penned story of sacrifice, second chances, and love, Ganshert's second novel is as poignant as her first. This is a must-read for any reader seeking to find comfort beneath their own proverbial willow."
—Betsy St. Amant, author of Addison Blakely: Confessions of a PK
"In Wishing on Willows, Katie Ganshert delicately weaves together a story of healing and renewed hope. Will young widow Robin Price choose to fight for what she had or to relinquish the past for the chance to love again? Ganshert deftly writes of grief and wounds that leave us shattered, pointing her characters—and her readers—to the One who provides the strength to embrace life again."
—Beth K. Vogt, author of Wish You Were Here and Catch a Falling Star
"Katie Ganshert's Wishing on Willows is rich in symbolism but as down-to-earth as its Midwestern heroine, a young widow juggling the roles of single mom, business owner, and ministry volunteer. I was thoroughly drawn into her changing seasons of love and loss, memory and hope. Like a May basket left at a neighbor's door, this is a generous story filled with charm and surprises."
—Meg Moseley, author of When Sparrows Fall
"Katie Ganshert has created an interesting cast of characters that are likable yet flawed. Fans of inspirational romance are sure to enjoy this novel."
—Kathryn Cushman, author of Almost Amish
"Katie Ganshert is a fresh and powerful new voice in contemporary Christian romance. Her writing wraps itself around your heartstrings and refuses to let go."
—Erica Vetsch, author of A Bride's Portrait of Dodge City, Kansas

Virtual world creator Linden Labs is restructuring in an effort to "generate efficiencies and support investment in new platforms." The quick translation on that into English is that the Second Life maker is canning 30% of its workers.
According to the company, that restructuring will mean a consolidation of some internal divisions and a Second Life that's "simpler, more enjoyable, relevant and engaging for consumers starting with their first experience."
Linden CEO Mark Kingdon says the company is also working toward a "browser-based virtual world experience, eliminating the need to download software" and bring the Second Life experience to "popular social networks."
"Ultimately, we want to make Second Life more accessible and relevant to a wider population," he said.

When the land Jennifer and Robert Sanders had been leasing for Heritage Farms went up for sale, they scrambled to scrape together resources to buy the property on Hood Road. Unable to raise or borrow enough money, in May they were dismantling the farm and "counting the days or weeks to move" when a surprising turn of events brought about by the application for capital investment Jennifer filed in association with her One Spark entry, Growing Power with Will Allen, changed everything.
After One Spark, Stache Investments Corp., an investment company owned by Shad Khan, contacted the couple to schedule a meeting to discuss a possible funding arrangement. They soon met with Jim Zsebok, Stache Investments' chief investment officer, and were offered a tentative loan agreement.
Following a minor delay to conduct an environmental assessment of the property, it became official this week when The Daily Record reported that Stache Investments provided the Sanders with a $280,000 mortgage, $270,000 of which went to pay for the 2.58 acre property.
"I just mailed off my first payment a few days ago, and every night when I close the gates, I go, 'Well, it's mine, lock, stock and barrel.' It's a lot to be responsible for, but it's a lot of opportunity," Jennifer Sanders said.
She said Heritage Farms is more of a market garden than a commercial farm. Market gardens grow a high variety of product on relatively small acreage, typically 20 acres or less, and usually do not rely on mechanized farming equipment. The couple, who have been busily selling tomatoes, peppers and herbs, intend to initiate another round of crowdfunding in coming months to expand into aquaponics so they can start selling fresh fish in addition to vegetables, ornamentals and plants at the roadside stand they plan to soon add to the farm. They also intend to hire up to five additional employees to work the family farm alongside the couple and their son and daughter.
Thanks to One Spark and forces beyond human control, Heritage Farms has recently experienced a series of good fortune. In addition to the Stache Investments' mortgage, people have contacted the Sanders to donate chickens, rabbits and bees, which will help Heritage Farms become more self-sustaining and productive.
"It seems like every other week somebody brings me a piece of the puzzle to make the ring complete," Sanders said. "I don't know what's happening exactly and I'm not going to resist."

I think I just had an epiphany. A moment of solitudinal (and I think I totally made that word up) reflection of some sort.
As I sit in my apartment watching Monday Night Football, I am reminded of my undergraduate days at South Dakota State University. My friends, those were the days. I was 19…a newbie to undergraduate life who didn't have a care in the world. I can't say it was my first time away from home because it really wasn't. Prior to enrolling at SDSU, I enlisted in the Army National Guard and headed off to basic training and AIT at Ft. Leonard Wood, MO. For 14 weeks, I endured a vigorous training regime that included, to the best to my memory, a lot of push-ups, front/back/go's, road marches, etc. After completing the training at Ft. Leonard Wood, I felt like I had figured a lot of things out for my life (directionally) and was ready to move in that next stage of life called college.
Now, I have never been a big study book reading guy. For whatever reason, the reading aspect of learning was never hard for me. During my undergraduate years, I never cracked a book …ever. Ashamedly, at the time, I was more concerned with two things: (1) who was I going to find to buy me a case of Bud Light (since I was 19) and (2) how I was going to sneak it into my "dry" dorm room. Because, let's be honest, watching Monday Night Football… in your dorm room…with NO beer…and five other dudes is, IMHO, is lame-o-a-rama-thon.
During my undergraduate years, I didn't take a whole of things seriously – including my education. I wouldn't say I studied a whole lot during those times and I relied heavily on my analytical strengths and being able to absorb information quickly and effectively. But after being out of school for almost 8 years and reinserting myself back into the full-time MLHR graduate program, I am discovering that what I did before is not going to work for me now. I have grown up a lot since then and have taken a more serious approach towards academics. In order to survive a full-tilt graduate program, I knew I was going to have to be committed, focused and, most importantly, dedicated to finishing. I feel the years I worked professional cultivated in me the necessary skills and attributes that will carry me through to graduation in 2012.
So tonight, almost 8 years later, I am sitting in front of my TV again…watching Monday Night Football…muted. And I'm reading. No beer. No dudes. Just me, a muted TV, a few books and a bottle of S. Pellegrino sparkling water with a lemon. I find two things very applicable here: (1) I'm not getting behind on my reading assignments and (2) I definitely won't be fighting some ridiculously STUPID hangover in the morning.
My epiphany: In 2000, I was cracking beers…In 2012, I decided I'm cracking books instead.
Trust me, folks, that's deep. Like, Dr. Phil deep.

Driver says mosquito caused 4-car accident

A pesky mosquito is accused of causing a four-car wreck on Second Street Tuesday. A 50-year-old Greenwood woman told police she was looking down to swat the annoying blood-sucker who was biting her leg in the cab of her truck. The next thing she knew, she had hit a parked car, she said.
