SEC401: Security Essentials Bootcamp Style and SEC504: Hacker Tools, Techniques, Exploits, and Incident Handling will be taught in Japanese using Japanese language course materials. All other courses will use English language course materials and be taught in English with simultaneous translation in Japanese.
I work as an intrusion analyst, and often I see things taught in SEC504 in log lines. Now I know what attackers are actually trying to do and not just seeing the results in the log.
SEC504 showed me the 'how' and 'why' for the things I've been monitoring.
The Internet is full of powerful hacking tools and bad guys using them extensively. If your organization has an Internet connection or one or two disgruntled employees (and whose doesn't!), your computer systems will get attacked. From the five, ten, or even one hundred daily probes against your Internet infrastructure to the malicious insider slowly creeping through your most vital information assets, attackers are targeting your systems with increasing viciousness and stealth. As defenders, it is essential we understand these hacking tools and techniques.
By helping you understand attackers' tactics and strategies in detail, giving you hands-on experience in finding vulnerabilities and discovering intrusions, and equipping you with a comprehensive incident handling plan, this course helps you turn the tables on computer attackers. It addresses the latest cutting-edge insidious attack vectors, the "oldie-but-goodie" attacks that are still prevalent, and everything in between. Instead of merely teaching a few hack attack tricks, this course provides a time-tested, step-by-step process for responding to computer incidents, and a detailed description of how attackers undermine systems so you can prepare, detect, and respond to them. In addition, the course explores the legal issues associated with responding to computer attacks, including employee monitoring, working with law enforcement, and handling evidence. Finally, students will participate in a hands-on workshop that focuses on scanning for, exploiting, and defending systems. It will enable you to discover the holes in your system before the bad guys do!
The course is particularly well-suited to individuals who lead or are a part of an incident handling team. General security practitioners, system administrators, and security architects will benefit by understanding how to design, build, and operate their systems to prevent, detect, and respond to attacks.

SEC504 vs. SEC560 FAQ: https://www.sans.org/media/security-training/sec504vsec560.php
It is imperative that you get written permission from the proper authority in your organization before using these tools and techniques on your company's system and also that you advise your network and computer operations teams of your testing.
Securing an infrastructure is a complex task of balancing business needs against security risks. With the discovery of new vulnerabilities almost on a daily basis, there is always the potential for an intrusion. In addition to online intrusions, physical incidents like fires, floods, and crime all require a solid methodology for incident handling to be in place to get systems and services back online as quickly and securely as possible.
The first part of this section looks at the invaluable Incident Handling Step-by-Step model, which was created through a consensus process involving experienced incident handlers from corporations, government agencies, and educational institutes, and has been proven effective in hundreds of organizations. This section is designed to provide students a complete introduction to the incident handling process, using the six steps (preparation, identification, containment, eradication, recovery, and lessons learned) one needs to follow to prepare for and deal with a computer incident.
The second part of this section examines from-the-trenches case studies to understand what does and does not work in identifying computer attackers. This section provides valuable information on the steps a systems administrator can take to improve the chances of catching and prosecuting attackers.
CPE/CMU Credits: 7
Special Actions for Responding to Different Types of Incidents
Incident Record-keeping
Incident Follow-up
Seemingly innocuous data leaking from your network could provide the clue needed by an attacker to blow your systems wide open. This day-long course covers the details associated with reconnaissance and scanning, the first two phases of many computer attacks.
Your networks reveal an enormous amount of information to potential attackers. In addition to looking for information leakage, attackers also conduct detailed scans of systems, scouring for openings to get through your defenses. To break into your network, they scope out targets of opportunity, such as weak DMZ systems and firewalls, unsecured modems, or the increasingly popular wireless LAN attacks. Attackers are increasingly employing inverse scanning, blind scans, and bounce scans to obscure their source and intentions. They are also targeting firewalls, attempting to understand and manipulate rule sets to penetrate our networks. Another very hot area in computer attacks involves Intrusion Detection System evasion, techniques that allow an attacker to avoid detection by these computer burglar alarms.
If you do not have the skills needed to understand these critical phases of an attack in detail, you will not be able to protect your network. Students who take this course and master the material will understand these attacks and the associated defenses.
It is imperative that you get written permission from the proper authority in your organization before using these tools and techniques on your organization's systems. You also need to advise your network and computer operations teams of your testing schedule.

Intrusion Detection System (IDS) Evasion
Computer attackers are ripping our networks and systems apart in novel ways, while constantly improving their techniques. This day-long course covers the third step of many hacker attacks: gaining access.
Attackers employ a variety of strategies to take over systems from the network level up to the application level. This section covers the attacks in depth, from the details of buffer overflow and format string attack techniques to the latest in session hijacking of supposedly secure protocols. Additionally, you will get hands-on experience in running sniffers and the incredibly flexible Netcat tool.
Administrators need to get into the nitty-gritty of how the attacks and their associated defenses work if they want to effectively defend against these invasions. For each attack, the course explains the vulnerability, how various tools exploit it, the signature of the attack, and how to harden the system or application against the attack. Students who sign an ethics and release form are issued a DVD containing the attack tools examined in class.

Network-Level Attacks
Gathering and Parsing Packets
Operating System and Application-level Attacks
Netcat: The Attacker's Best Friend
This course starts out by covering one of the attackers' favorite techniques for compromising systems: worms. We will analyze worm developments over the last two years and project these trends into the future to get a feel for the coming Super Worms we will face. Then the course turns to another vital area often exploited by attackers: web applications. Because most organizations' homegrown web applications do not get the security scrutiny of commercial software, attackers exploit these targets using SQL injection, cross-site scripting, session cloning, and a variety of other mechanisms discussed in detail.
The course also presents a taxonomy of nasty denial-of-service attacks, illustrating how attackers can stop services or exhaust resources, as well as what you need to do to prevent their nefarious deeds.
Once intruders have gained access into a system, they want to keep that access, preventing pesky system administrators and security personnel from detecting their presence. To fool you, attackers install backdoor tools and manipulate existing software on a system to maintain access to the machine on their own terms. To defend against these attacks, you need to understand how attackers alter systems to discover the sometimes-subtle hints associated with system compromise. This course arms you with the understanding and tools you need to defend against attackers' maintaining access and covering their tracks.
It is imperative that you get written permission from the proper authority in your organization before using these tools and techniques on your organization's system. You also need to advise your network and computer operations teams of your testing schedule.
Hands-on Exercises with the Following Tools and Topics:
CPE/CMU Credits: 6
Password Cracking
Web Application Attacks
Denial-of-Service Attacks
This day-long course covers the fourth and fifth steps of many hacker attacks: maintaining access and covering their tracks. Computer attackers install backdoors, apply Rootkits, and sometimes even manipulate the underlying kernel itself to hide their nefarious deeds. Each of these categories of tools requires specialized defenses to protect the underlying system. In this course, we will analyze the most commonly used malicious code specimens, as well as explore future trends in malware, including BIOS-level and combo malware possibilities.
Attackers also cover their tracks by hiding files, sniffers, network usage, and active processes. Additionally, super stealthy sniffing backdoors are increasingly being used to thwart investigations. Finally, attackers often alter system logs, all in an attempt to make the compromised system appear normal. This course gives you the tools and techniques you need to detect and respond to these activities on your computers and network.
It is imperative that you get written permission from the proper authority in your organization before using these tools and techniques on your organization's system. You also need to advise your network and computer operations teams of your testing schedule.

Covering the Tracks
Putting It All Together
Over the years, the security industry has become smarter and more effective in stopping hackers. Unfortunately, hacker tools are becoming smarter and more complex. One of the most effective methods to stop the enemy is to actually test the environment with the same tools and tactics an attacker might use against you.
This workshop lets you put what you have learned over the past week into practice. You will be connected to one of the most hostile networks on earth. This network simulates the Internet and allows students to try actual attacks against live machines and learn how to protect against these attacks. This workshop will supplement the classroom training that students have already received and give them flight time with the attack tools to better understand how they work. Instructors will give guidance on exactly what is happening as exploits and defensive measures are running. As students work on various exploits and master them, the environment will become increasingly difficult, so students will have to master additional skills in order to successfully complete the exercises.
Additionally, students can participate in the workshop's Capture the Flag event. By penetrating systems, discovering subtle flaws, and using puzzle-solving techniques, you can test the skills you have built over the week in this engaging contest. The Capture the Flag victors will win a prize.
In sum, paranoia is good! Your laptop will be attacked. Do not have any sensitive data stored on the system. SANS is not responsible for your system if (actually, when) someone in the class attacks it in the workshop. Bring the right equipment and prepare it in advance to maximize what you will learn and the fun you will have doing it.
CPE/CMU Credits: 6
Hands-on Analysis
To get the most value out of the course, students are required to bring their own laptop so that they can connect directly to the workshop network. It is the students' responsibility to make sure that the system is properly configured with all the drivers necessary to connect to an Ethernet network.
Some of the course exercises are based on Windows, while others focus on Linux. VMware Workstation is required for the class. If you plan to use a Macintosh, please make sure you bring VMware Fusion.
The course includes a VMware image file of a guest Linux system that is larger than 12 GB. Therefore, you need a file system with the ability to read and write files that are larger than 3 GB, such as NTFS on a Windows machine. The course also includes a VMware image file of a guest Windows 10 system, which will enable you to perform labs on this VMware guest instead of on a host system.
IMPORTANT NOTE: You will also be required to disable your anti-virus tools temporarily for some exercises, so make sure you have the anti-virus administrator permissions to do so. DO NOT plan on just killing your anti-virus service or processes, because most anti-virus tools still function even when their associated services and processes have been terminated. For many enterprise-managed clients, disabling your anti-virus tool may require a different password than the Administrator account password. Please bring that administrator password for your anti-virus tool.
We also require that no enterprise group policies be applied to the system. These policies can and will interfere with our labs.
Enterprise VPN clients may interfere with the network configuration required to participate in the class. If your system has an enterprise VPN client installed, you may need to uninstall it for the exercises in class.
You will use VMware to run Windows and Linux operating systems simultaneously when performing exercises in class. You must have VMware Workstation installed on your system prior to coming to class.
You can download a free 30-day trial copy of VMware Workstation. VMware will send you a time-limited license number for VMware Workstation if you register for the trial on their website.
If you are using a Macbook or Macbook Pro you will need VMWare Fusion.
VirtualBox is not supported and may interfere with our labs. It should not be installed on a system you are planning to use for this class.
We will give you a USB full of attack tools to experiment with during the class and to take home for later analysis. We will also provide a Linux image with all our tools pre-installed that runs within VMware Player or VMware Workstation.
You do not need to bring a Linux system if you plan to use our Linux image in VMware. However, you are required to bring VMware Workstation. The class does not support VirtualPC or other non-VMware virtualization products.
Mandatory Laptop Hardware Requirements:
During the workshop, you will be connecting to one of the most hostile networks on Earth! Your laptop might be attacked. Do not have any sensitive data stored on the system. SANS is not responsible for your system if someone in the class attacks it in the workshop.
By bringing the right equipment and preparing in advance, you can maximize what you will see and learn as well as have a lot of fun.
If you have additional questions about the laptop specifications, please contact firstname.lastname@example.com.
"It is great to understand how hackers are exploiting a variety of systems. Learning how to prevent these as best as possible is imperative to protect key systems and resources. SEC504 course concepts are great." - Samantha Hanagan, Texel Tek

SEC504 vs. SEC560 FAQ: https://www.sans.org/media/security-training/sec504vsec560.php
One of my greatest joys in life is helping people understand the complex landscape of security so that they can implement really effective defenses. It may be difficult to fully grasp what truly impacts the security of your organization versus what is simply product marketing hype. This class is the nexus between attacks and defenses, chock full of vital information for thwarting today's nastiest attacks. Ed Skoudis and I continuously refine this class on the foundation of the multitude of penetration tests we conduct and incidents we handle regularly. We strive to keep the material relevant, interesting, and directly applicable to the job of infosec professionals. And I personally live for the moments when the light goes on within a 504 student and they finally see through the noise, and they begin to understand what is important from a threat and vulnerability perspective.

Spring is, hands down, my favorite time of year. I am ready to say goodbye to winter, and am equally ready to welcome spring, with all of her charms. As winter draws to a close, I find myself chasing every ray of sunshine, like sun-starved zombie. I am ready for spring flowers and produce, sunshine and warmth. Maybe I'm getting ahead of myself, but I'm ready for lemonade and porches and BBQ's and farmer's markets.
I think I say the same thing about Spring every year, but each year I'm truly grateful for this season. Everything feels new and wonderful, and I have a fresh appreciation for all of it.
That being said, when the sun came out for a couple of days this week, I was beside myself with joy. Honestly, I was a little bit sun drunk. I went so far as to take my laptop into the backyard, so I could work in the sunshine. (It was fantastic.)
In my sun-drunk state, I had the inspired idea to make an epic batch of guacamole. (I also decided that it would be a good idea to eat most of said guacamole in one sitting. But that's a whole different story.) I know it isn't exactly guac season yet (we're still a few months away from cilantro and pepper season), but I was just too excited about the sunshine.
This avocado dip is the perfect compliment to a sunny day, and it pairs nicely with tacos and margaritas. I will say that it is unlike any guacamole I've ever had. It contains curry powder and coconut oil, serrano chilies and mustard seeds. It might sound like an odd combination of ingredients, but I promise you that it works. I would take this avocado dip over normal guacamole any day. It's the perfect snack for a sunny day. Here's hoping we have an abundance sunny days in our not-too-distant future.
- 3-4 ripe avocados
- The juice of 1/2 a lemon
- Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- 1/2 cup roughly chopped fresh cilantro
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil (or clarified butter)
- 1 teaspoon mustard seeds (brown seeds are preferable, but golden will do.)
- 2 small shallots, diced
- 2 cloves of garlic, peeled and minced
- 1.5 teaspoons Indian curry powder
- 1 small serrano chile, seeds removed and finely minced
- Cut each avocado in half, and remove the pit. Scoop the flesh into a small bowl. Gently mash the avocado with the lemon juice, salt, pepper, and most of the cilantro. Don't over-mash, as the dip is supposed to be rather chunky. Set aside.
- In a skillet, heat the coconut oil over medium-high heat. When the oil is hot, add in the mustard seeds. Cook the mustard seeds for 1-2 minutes, being careful not to burn them. (Note: mustard seeds pop and jump while cooking, so you may want to place a lid on the skillet for this part.) Next, add in the minced shallots and allow to cook for 2-3 minutes. Stir in the garlic, curry powder, and diced serrano. Add in the avocado mixture, and give everything a quick stir. Remove from heat.
- Transfer to a serving bowl. Taste, and adjust seasonings as needed. (I like to add a bit of extra lemon juice at the end). Sprinkle the last of the cilantro on top. Serve with tortilla chips, pita, vegetables, crackers, etc.

Heart and prayers goes out to everyone affected in this disaster. Just a really dumb blonde question and am really interested as I'm a geography student..Is it a trend for hurricanes to always occur in USA during the Nov-Dec period?
DHAKA: Around 100 people are missing after a boat carrying Rohingya refugees sank off Bangladesh as it headed to Malaysia early on Wednesday, coastguard officials said. Bangladesh Border Guard commander Lieutenant Colonel Zahid Hasan said the vessel was carrying around 110 passengers when it went down off the southwestern Cox's Bazaar coastal district. "We have rescued 11 survivors with the help of local fishermen and a search and rescue operation is underway," Hasan told AFP.
Powerful quake strikes off Solomon IslandsBy CNN Staffupdated 9:36 PM EST, Tue February 5, 2013(CNN) -- An 8.0-magnitude earthquake struck off the Solomon Islands in the South Pacific early Wednesday, the U.S. Geological Survey reported, sparking a tsunami warning.The center of the quake was located some 360 miles east-southeast of Honiara, the capital of the Solomon Islands, the USGS said. It was reported to be 3.6 miles deep.A tsunami warning was issued for the Solomon Islands, Vanuatu, Nauru, Papua New Guinea, Tuvalu, New Caledonia, Kosrae, Fiji, Kiribati, and Wallis and Futuna, according to the Pacific Tsunami Warning Center.A tsunami watch was in effect for more places: the Marshall Islands, Howland and Baker, Pohnpei, Tokelau, Samoa, Kermadec Islands, New Zealand, American Samoa, Tonga, Australia, Niue, Cook Islands, Indonesia, Wake Island, Chuuk, Jarvis Island, Guam, Northern Marianas, Palmyra Island, Yap, Johnston Island, Minamitorishima and Pelau.Brian Shiro, a geophysicist at the Pacific Tsunami Warning Center, told CNN that instruments near the Solomon Islands indicated that a tsunami was in fact generated. It is 1 meter high, he said, describing it as "significant."The event seems to be localized to the region, Shiro said, and authorities are still waiting to see if they want to expand the alert.The quake was followed by several aftershocks in the region, the largest of which had a magnitude of 6.6, the USGS said.There were no immediate reports of damage or injuries.
It's not TAR, but I thought I'd mention that Pekin Express (or at least some of the teams) traveled through Hattiesburg, Mississippi early last week and yesterday a fairly strong tornado moved through Hattiesburg and damaged quite a few buildings including part of the local university. Reports also mention dozens of injuries but I haven't heard of any deaths.Pekin Express sent their teams through historic flooding in Australia last season (much to the annoyance of Australian officials), so they are developing quite a track record of disasters of their own.
Airlinesguy is back I suppose
There has been an shooting incident with multiple victims inside Terminal 3 of LAX. (Isn't that the terminal TAR normally uses when the start is in LA?)As I type this, there is very little known, but CNN-US is showing a number of first responders on the scene (as well as SWAT teams, firefighters and police) and the LAX terminals are being evacuated, and a ground stop has been placed on all flights in and out of LAX.

By being born to an earl, Frederick was immediately endowed with a lordship. Lord Stanley received his early education at prestigious Eton College and later served with the Grenadier Guards, but decided early on that he would prefer a political career to one in the military. Lord Stanley served as a Member of Parliament for Preston, and later represented North Lancashire and Blackpool in the British House of Commons. Stanley was appointed Lord of the Admiralty, Secretary of State for War, Secretary of State for the Colonies and president of the Board of Trade before he was selected by Queen Victoria, on the recommendation of British prime minister Lord Salisbury, to serve as Governor General of Canada.
Forty-seven-year-old Lord Stanley of Preston assumed office on June 11, 1888 after sailing across the Atlantic Ocean with his wife, Lady Constance Stanley, and four of their children: 23-year-old Edward, who would later serve as an aide-de-camp to his father, 21-year-old Victor, 12-year-old Isobel and William, who had just turned 10 years of age. The four other Stanley children remained in England: 19-year-old Arthur, 16-year-old Ferdinand, 15-year-old George and Algernon, who was 14 years of age. Two other children had died as infants.
Although hockey had been played in some fashion for several years, by adding the Vice Regal stamp of approval at a time when the monarchy was paramount to Canada's existence helped propel the game from a casual pastime into the flourishing, organized game it has become. On February 4, 1889, Lord and Lady Stanley, their son Edward and daughter Isobel attended the Montreal Winter Carnival and took in their first contest of ice hockey. When they returned to Rideau Hall, the Governor General's official residence in Ottawa, Edward shared with his brothers and colleagues his passion for the new game, while Isobel did likewise. Within a month, Isobel participated in the first known women's hockey game, played on the Rideau Hall rink, while Edward, Arthur and Algernon Stanley organized games with parliamentary employees and later formed a traveling squad called the Rideau Rebels that helped spread the love of the game into other centres, including Toronto, which had not yet embraced the young sport. Arthur Stanley and two Rebel teammates would later organize the Ontario Hockey Association.
Lord Frederick Stanley served Canada from 1888 until the death of his brother, the 15th Earl of Derby, in 1893. On his brother's death, as the surviving heir, Stanley automatically became the 16th Earl of Derby, and was forced to resign his position in Canada a few months before scheduled in order to return to England to assume his new role in carrying on the family business.
The 16th Earl was heavily involved in the community around his new home, the Knowsley Estate. He became the first Lord Mayor of Greater Liverpool, served as mayor of Preston, was the first Chancellor of Liverpool University, served with the agricultural society and got heavily involved in horse breeding and racing. He was considered one of the wealthiest men in the world prior to his death.
Lord Stanley never saw the trophy awarded that he bequeathed to hockey. In 1893, the Montreal Hockey Club, part of the Montreal Amateur Athletic Association, became the first recipients of Lord Stanley's Cup, but by that time, Stanley was making plans to return to England. In fact, it is likely that after he returned to his homeland, he had little further thought of the Cup he donated while in Canada. But the trophy took on a life of its own through the decades and now, 113-years-old, is arguably one of the oldest and most famous trophies in the sporting world. The iconic Cup is recognized around the world and travels extensively.
For his contributions to hockey, Lord Stanley was recognized by being inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame in 1945, selected in the Builder Category.

Attackers are no longer targeting Web and email servers. Today, they are attacking enterprises from the inside out, by first compromising end-user systems and then leveraging them to gain access to confidential data. As such, it is imperative that organizations have an understanding of what is happening on the Web. As a cloud-based security vendor, Zscaler has a unique perspective on Web traffic. With millions of end users traversing the Web through Zscaler's global network of Web gateways, they are able to understand both how users are interacting with Web-based resources and how attackers may be targeting end users. This slideshow highlights finding from their "State of the Web" research report.

The purpose of this kext is to attach to any IOPCIDevice so it can provide alternate PCI ID when another driver attached to the same device requests them. This technique can be used instead of patching binaries that may check for supported device-ids (or other PCI IDs) in their IOService::probe or IOService::start method.
In order to attach FakePCIID to a given IOPCIDevice, an injector kext must be built that IOKit can use to match against. The FakePCIID.kext Info.plist has no built-in IOKitPersonalities, as it is generic and not built to suit a specific purpose. The distribution ZIP provide has four such injector kexts, which are described below. Custom injector kexts can be created for other devices.
Note: FakePCIID_Intel_HD_Graphics.kext works for HD4400 mobile, HD4600 mobile, HD4200 mobile, and HD4600 desktop.
In any case, a DSDT patch, FakeID configuration (Clover), or FakeProperties dictionary in the injector's Info.plist will be required to inject the properties that FakePCIID can read on the IOPCIDevice. The properties used by FakePCIID are described later in this post. The properties must be present on the PCIDevice that is being hooked (the direct parent of FakePCIID).
Downloads are available on Bitbucket:
How to Install
In all cases, FakePCIID.kext must be installed with a kext installer (such as Kext Wizard). The Release build should be used for normal installs. It has a minimum of output to system.log. For troubleshooting, the Debug build can be used.
The separate folder 'injectors' in the distribution zip contains two extra codeless kexts:
AppleIntelKBLGraphicsFramebufferInjector_3e9x.kext: Used for spoofing unsupported CoffeeLake as KabyLake
BroadcomWiFiInjector.kext: Used to load the native Broadcom WiFi kexts for unsupported devices. To be used with AirportBrcmFixup.kext as replacement for FakePCIID_Broadcom_WiFi.kext (both will work, but with AirportBrcmFixup.kext, full functionality of FakePCIID.kext is not needed)
In order to cause the kext to be loaded against a particular device, you must also install the appropriate FakePCIID injector kext. Currently, seven injectors are provided:
FakePCIID_Intel_HD_Graphics.kext (formerly FakePCIID_HD4600_HD4400.kext): This kext will attach to
8086:0412is HD4600 desktop (now the only GT2 device supported in Yosemite as of 10.10.2)
8086:0a16is HD4400 mobile.
8086:0416is HD4600 mobile.
8086:0a1eis HD4200 mobile.
8086:041eis HD4400 desktop.
8086:041ais P4600 server.
8086:016ais P4000 server.
8086:191dis P530 server.
8086:162ais P6300 server.
8086:1616is HD5500. Some CPUs (i3-5005U for example), must spoof as 0x1626 to avoid hang at boot
8086:5917is HD620 KabyLake-R.
8086:3e91is UHD630 CoffeLake (typical 3e91 with i3 or other low-end CPUs)
For HD4600, normally fake device-id of
8086:0412 will be injected for Yosemite, as Yosemite does not natively recognize
8086:0412 is the native device-id for HD4600 desktop. By injecting
AppleIntelFramebufferAzul and
AppleIntelHD5000Graphics will load. And since, FakePCIID will also be attached to these devices, it will successfully fool both kexts that the device an Intel HD4600 Desktop IGPU (0412).
For P4000 support, inject device-id 0166 (HD4000). For P530 support, inject device-id 1912 (HD530). For P6300 support, inject device-id 1622 (HD6200) For HD620 KabyLake-R, inject device-id 5916 (HD620) For UHD630 CoffeeLake, inject device-id 3e92 (UHD630)
- FakePCIID_Intel_HDMI_Audio.kext: This kext will attach to
With Best Time The Wilfork Of Retirement Vince Video Us All Hit 8086:0c0c,
8086:a348, or
The purpose is to provide support for unsupported HDAU (native B0D3) or unsuppored HDEF (100-series, 200-series, 300-series) ) devices which provide HDMI-audio on Haswell(+) systems.
8086:0c0c is one such unsupported ID. The other two
8086:0d0c, and
8086:0a0c are supported. This kext, AppleHDAController, loads by PCI class, so you normally would not inject device-id for it, but to allow FakePCIID to work, you may need to inject RM,device-id (one of the supported IDs). By default for Haswell HDAU, the kext injects RM,device-id=<0c 0a 00 00> (0x0a0c). For 100-series and later HDEF, the kext injects RM,device-id=<70 a1 00 00> or <70 9d 00 00> depending on HDEF device-id (refer to the Info.plist).
You can override it with a DSDT edit or ACPI injection via SSDT.
For example (_DSM patch for HDAU device for FakePCIID and HDMI audio, if you wanted 0x0d0c instead of 0x0a0c):
into method label _DSM parent_adr 0x00030000 remove_entry; into device name_adr 0x00030000 insert begin Method (_DSM, 4, NotSerialized)Best Amazon Price Ledwholesalers The In Flashlight Ultraviolet Led OwxqIzg\n {\n If (LEqual (Arg2, Zero)) { Return (Buffer() { 0x03 Hit Video Time Vince Us The With Retirement Wilfork Best Of All } ) }\n Hit Vince Of Video All Wilfork Time The Us Best Retirement With Return (Package()\n {\n "RM,device-id", Buffer() { 0x0c, 0x0d, 0x00, 0x00 },\n "hda-gfx", Buffer() { "onboard-1" },\n })Smart Devices Best The com Pcmag Holidays Home For nzPxfxw\n }\n end;Video Rise Shoot Over ' Nixed 'anti government Themes Against fqq75ZUw
In the case of Skylake 8086:9d70 or 8086:1a70, it is attaching to the HDEF device (usually called HDAS, but renamed to HDEF to match what Aple expects). Skylake HDMI/DP audio codec is on HDEF along with onboard audio. It injects RM,device-id=<70 a1 00 00> for 0x9d70 and RM,device-id=<70 9d 00 00> for 0xa170. In other words, with these two device-ids, it will reverse them. Try it if you have everything set correctly for HDMI/DP audio, but it is not working. This was discovered by noting that Skylake HDMI audio works on the NUC6i7KYK (Skull Canyon), but not the other NUC6 devices. It is quite system dependent. Some computers need them swapped, others do not. So test both with and without.
This kext won't fix other problems/mistakes you may have with your HDMI/DP setup (eg. missing "hda-gfx", mismatched "layout-id" injection, incorrect or wrong framebuffer patches, or missing ACPI renames).
- FakePCIID_AR9280_as_AR946x: This kext will attach to
This particular application of FakePCIID.kext is used in a situation where you have an AR9280 re-branded as some other device. For example, with the Lenovo u430, it is useful to rebrand an AR9280 ias an AR946x as that device is allowed by the BIOS whitelist where AR9280 is not. By using FakePCIID, we can remap the PCI IDs back to AR9280 (
168c:002a) even though the device itself is reporting
- FakePCIID_Broadcom_WiFi.kext (formerly FakePCIID_BCM94352Z_as_BCM94360CS2.kext) This kext will attach to

14e4:43a0. And also
14e4:432d. On Study The Mit Of Atlantic ' News Huge Falsehoods Twitter 'fake Win 68q5AqvwH
Originally created for BCM94352Z, this particular application of FakePCIID.kext is used to emulate an authentic Apple Airport Extreme, when using a variety of supported Broadcom WiFi devices.
FakePCIID_BCM57XX_as_BCM57765.kext: This kext will attach to numerous unsupported BCM57XX Ethernet devices in order to make the native drivers work for a wider variety of BCM Ethernet chipsets that are compatible, but not supported due to probe testing of PCI device-id/subdevice-id values. Further details here: Application Unabridged Birth com Savisas Track Fast Certificate An Aqaw4X
FakePCIID_Intel_GbX.kext: This kext will attach to a number of Intel Ethernet devices in an attempt to make the Small Tree drivers for Intel chipset based cards work. Further details here: http://www.tonymacx86.com/network/156135-intel-network-adapters-os-x-small-tree-drivers.html
FakePCIID_XHCIMux.kext This kext will attach to
8086:9c31, and
8086:8cb1This injector is a bit of an extension to normal FakePCIID duties. It doesn't actually fake any PCI IDs. Rather, it forces certain values to XUSB2PR (PCI config offset 0xD0) on the Intel XHCI USB3 controller. The effect is to route any USB2 devices attached to the USB2 pins on the XHC ports to EHC1. In other words, handle USB2 devices with the USB2 drivers instead of the USB3 drivers (AppleUSBEHCI vs. AppleUSBXHCI).
So normally what is a complex "multiplex" DSDT patch (that is not well understood), is a simple kext install.
Configuration properties and their defaults: RM,pr2-force <00 00 00 00>. By default forces all XHCI ports to route USB2 devices to EHC1. RM,pr2-init <01>. Will write RM,pr2-force value at startup if non-zero. RM,pr2-block <01>. Will block writes to XUSB2PR if non-zero. RM,pr2m-block <01>. No evidence that OS X drivers attempt to write XUSB2PRM (offset 0xD4), but since this kext relies on a valid value here (as provided by the BIOS), writes to it are blocked if non-zero. RM,pr2-honor-pr2m <01>: Changes to XUSB2PR will be masked by XUSB2PRM if this is non-zero. RM,pr2-chipset-mask: Writes to XUSB2PR are masked by this value. This is defined by the chipset documentation. Default value depends on chipset.
Refer to Intel 7/8/9-series chipset data sheet for more info.
In order to create your own injector, you should be familiar with IOKit matching and kext Info.plist files. There is ample documentation available on developer.apple.com. Use the existing injectors as a template to build your own.
DSDT patches
FakePCIID.kext will return the vendor-id, device-id, subsystem-vendor-id, and subsystem-id as found in the IO registry under the associated IOPCIDevice. In order to provide the correct/supported values, _DSM injection is employed (or FakeID with Clover).
For example, this is one such patch that might be used for HD4600:
into method label _DSM parent_adr 0x00020000 remove_entry; into device name_adr 0x00020000 insert begin Method (_DSM, 4, NotSerialized)\n {\n If (LEqual (Arg2Rock Facebook Facebook Kid Facebook Kid Kid Kid Rock Home Rock Rock Home Home frOqEnrUx, Zero)) { Return (Buffer() { 0x03 } ) }\n Return (Package()\n {\n "device-id", Buffer() { 0x12, 0x04, 0x00, 0x00 },\n "AAPL,ig-platform-id", Buffer() { 0x06, 0x00, 0x26, 0x0a },\n "hda-gfx", Buffer() { "onboard-1" },Video Retirement Best Us Of With Hit Wilfork Vince All Time The \n "model", Buffer() { "Intel HD 4600" },\n })\nel Page Guide Osx86 11 El 10 Usb Fix 3 Capitan wRqOnaTxR }\n end;
Note that the only property read by FakePCIID in the patch above is "device-id". Also the "device-id" injection could have been provided by Clover's config.plist (FakeID) or by (as an example) Chimera's IGPDeviceID flag.
The "device-id" property is used both by FakePCIID and by IOKit matching. Generally this is OK, but for flexibility you can specify a different IDs to be used by FakePCIID by using the "RM," prefixed properties.
So, a minimalist patch would be as follows:
into method label _DSM parent_adr 0x00020000 remove_entry; into device name_adr 0x00020000 insert begin Method (_DSM, 4, NotSerialized)\n {\n If (LEqual (Arg2, Zero)) { Return (Buffer() { 0x03 } ) }\n Return (Package()\n {\n "RM,device-id", Buffer() { 0x12, 0x04, 0x00, 0x00 },\n })\n }\Retirement Vince Us All Time Of Video Hit The Wilfork Best With n endWith Hit Of Retirement Us Video All Time Vince Wilfork The Best ;
You would have to inject "device-id" and "ig-platform-id" to have working HD4600 using some other mechanism, of course. But FakePCIID.kext can do its work with only "RM,device-id".
And this is the patch used in the AR9280 as AR946x scenario:
into method label _DSM parent_label PXSX remove_entry; into device label PXSX parent_label RP03 insert begin Method (_DSM, 4, NotSerialized)\n {\nPage elitebook Using Clover Hotpatch Uefi Guide Probook zbook Hp qxTzTvag If (LEqual (Arg2, Zero)) { Return (Buffer() { 0x03 } ) }\n Return (Package()\n {\n "vendor-id", Buffer() { 0x8c, 0x16, 0x00, 0x00 },\n "device-id", Buffer() { 0x2a, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00 },\n "subsystem-id", BufferWilfork Retirement Vince The With Video Hit Of All Best Us Time () { 0x8F, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00 },\n "subsystem-vendor-id", Buffer() { 0x6B, 0x10, 0x00, 0x00 },\n "compatible", "pci168c,2a",\n "IOName", "pci168c,2a",\n "name", "pci168c,2a",\n "AAPL,slot-name", Buffer() { "AirPort" },\n "device_type", Buffer() { "AirPort" },\n "model", Buffer() { "Atheros 928x 802.11 b/g/n Wireless Network Adapter" },\n })\n }\n end;
For BCM94352Z as BCM94360CS2 the following DSDT patch is used:
into device Label PXSX parent_label RP03 replace_content begin Method (_DSM, 4, NotSerialized)With Best Vince The Of All Video Hit Us Retirement Time Wilfork \n {\n If (LEqual(Arg2, Zero)) { Return (Buffer() { 0x03 } ) }\n Return (Package()\n {\n "vendor-id", Buffer() { Time Best Of Hit With Us All Video Retirement The Vince Wilfork 0xe4, 0x14, 0x00, 0x00 },\n "device-id", Buffer() { 0xa0, 0x43With Of Hit Us Best Time All Vince Wilfork Retirement The Video , 0x00, 0x00 },\n "subsystem-vendor-id", Buffer() { 0x6b, 0x10, 0x00, 0x00 },\Video All Us Time Of Wilfork Vince Retirement With The Hit Best n "subsystem-id", Buffer() { 0x34,X The Good Iphone Is On Any Face Id wtxz7SqX7 0x01, 0x00With Best Hit The All Vince Us Video Of Time Wilfork Retirement , 0x00 },\n "compatible", "pci14e4,43a0",\n "IOName", "pci14e4,43a0",\n "name", "pci14e4,43a0" })\n }Best Of All The Wilfork Vince Hit Video Us With Retirement Time \n end;
Please realize that the nodes PXSX and RP03 are specific to the subject DSDT. In this case a Lenovo u430 laptop.
Again, a minimalist patch for the WiFi scenario would look like this:
into method label _DSM parent_label PXSX remove_entry; into device label PXSX parent_label RP03 insert begin Method (_DSM, 4, NotSerialized)\n {\n If (LEqual Video Hit Time Of All Wilfork With Us Retirement Vince The Best (Ipad Id With Face Apple Of In Upcoming 12 's Macrumors Evidence New Ios TZ41n8qqArg2, Zero)) { Return (Buffer() { 0x03 } ) }\n Return All Vince With Time Best Wilfork Of The Video Hit Retirement Us (Package()\n {\n "RM,vendor-id", Buffer() { 0x8c, 0x16, 0x00, 0x00 },\n "RM,device-id", Buffer() { 0x2a, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00 },\n "RM,subsystem-id", Buffer() { 0x8F, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00 },Retirement Time Of Us The Wilfork All With Vince Hit Best Video \n "RM,subsystem-vendor-id", Buffer() { 0x6B, 0x10, 0x00, 0x00 },\n })\n }\n end;
Assuming that the function "compatible" served in the original example is with some other mechanism (an injector kext, or Clover configuration).
Properties supported by FakePCIID and their corresponding PCI configuration space offsets are listed below:
- Offset
0x00: "vendor-id", "RM,vendor-id"
- Offset
0x02: "device-id", "RM,device-id"
- Offset
0x2c: "subsystem-vendor-id", "RM,subsystem-vendor-id"
- Offset
0x2e: "subsystem-id", "RM,subsystem-id"

BRISTOL — As the Mount Abraham Union High School community reels from the death of junior Ryan Wendel, who was killed in a car crash only hours after graduation last Saturday, faculty and staff are working to accommodate the needs of students who have been affected by the loss.
Principal Paulette Bogan sent a letter home with students on Monday explaining the details of the accident, in which the car Wendel was driving plummeted 50-feet down an embankment into the Beaver Meadow Brook in Lincoln. Two other MAUHS students who were passengers in the car and two others who were following in a second car struggled courageously to right the overturned 1992 Saab and save the life of the 16-year-old Bristol resident.
In the Republican primary race for Vermont's lone U.S. Congressional seat, state Sen. Mark Shepard, R-Bennington, is happy to be tilting against windmills as the underdog candidate and the anti-establishment candidate.
"Being the non-establishment candidate is not a bad place to be,� Shepard said in a Monday interview with the Addison Independent. "Establishment candidates don't stir the pot and they don't ruffle feathers. I'm not doing this to be part of a club.�
That style of populist bravado potentially has appeal in a region enamored with the independent ethos that has long characterized the Green Mountain State. And Shepard's background fits his rhetoric. He's a fifth or sixth generation Vermonter, born and raised on a small dairy farm, learned his hard-work ethic from his growing up a farmer's son, and his moral values were home grown as well. He graduated from Hartford High School in 1978 with little interest in a college education, but having learned how to wire a house with his dad at a young age, he had an affinity for electrical sciences and got his journeyman electrician's license in 1982. He stumbled into higher electronics, then took an interest in computers and ended up graduating from the University of Florida in 1986 with a electrical engineering degree and received a Master of Engineering degree following work at MIT and RPI. (See story, Page 1A.) In short, Shepard has a populist pedigree, but has leveraged his natural talent and home education into a lucrative electrical engineering business, which he formed several years ago and runs as an independent business. He's married with four kids.
In his radio address to the nation this past Saturday, Vermont Sen. Peter Welch laid out the Democrats response in this election year on the war in Iraq: In short, President Bush, his administration and this Republican Congress have been irresponsible and accountability can only be restored by electing a Democratic House and/or Senate in November.
Unless we have a change in power in Congress in 2006, Welch said at the Addison Independent offices last Friday afternoon, none of the big questions facing the nation really matter because the Republican-led Congress has not exercised its role to oversee the executive branch and has instead rubber-stamped most of what the White House has dished out — including cover-ups and gross mismanagement of the war effort.
Welch, who was chosen to deliver the response to the president's weekly radio address, couldn't be more on target.

VERGENNES — After three years at Vergennes Union High School, VUHS co-principal Manya Bouteneff will leave this summer to take over the principalship at Fox Meadow Elementary School in her hometown of Scarsdale, N.Y.
Bouteneff, who will sign her new contract on Wednesday, attended the school from kindergarten through sixth grade, and her son went to Fox Meadow for two years before she moved away.
Bouteneff said the facts that she still has family in the Scarsdale area and that she will be heading her old school played roles in her decision to apply to be the Fox Meadow principal.
"It has the sentimental attraction to me," said Bouteneff, who added that while writing her application for the post she had the sense of "being transported to those hallways … There's a definite full-sensory memory of all of that."

MIDDLEBURY — Commence-ment exercises to be held at the Kirk Alumni Center on the Middlebury College campus this Wednesday will feature a slightly older class of degree recipients than most of the high school graduations going on in the area this month.
They also are, in some ways, more diverse than the typical high school graduating class, even though there will only be 40 dressed in blue caps and gowns.
The event, which kicks off at 6 p.m., is Vermont Adult Learning's General Educational Development (GED) certificate and Vermont Adult Diploma Program graduation. Those who will take part had left high school for a number of years while others missed only a semester or a single year. All have returned to school to finish their education.

VERGENNES — Vergennes Mayor April Jin is hoping her third campaign proves to be the charm in her quest to win one of the two Vermont House seats representing the Addison-3 district.
Jin, in her second year as mayor of the Little City, first ran for the House in 1994, as a Democrat. She made a second unsuccessful bid in 2000, as a member of the Vermont Progressive Party. Undaunted and with more political experience under her belt, she is again throwing her hat into the ring this year, again under the Progressive Party banner.
"I feel the people of Addison County, and the people of this district in particular, need someone who will stand up and speak out," Jin said during a recent telephone interview
This is the final installment in a three-part series on the recovery of New Orleans in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. Harriette Brainard, a reporter for the Addison Independent and former New Orleans resident, visited thee Crescent City during the Jazz Fest and provides this personal status report on the city.
NEW ORLEANS — As I sat down at a table outside one of the only New Orleans bars still open at this late hour, I was full of mixed emotions.
VERGENNES — Although there remains a major contingency, Vergennes aldermen reached a deal on Tuesday that could net the city $1 million plus more in ongoing user fees in exchange for extending a city sewer line two miles north into neighboring Ferrisburgh.
That line, under the terms of a memorandum of understanding with Infill Ferrisburgh Partners LLC, would be capable of handling 100,000 gallons of wastewater a day, an amount that could meet the needs of about 200 homes and businesses. The city would not have to pay any of the cost of building the new line.

Today I saw that the guys at PSDTUTS.com published another tutorial I wrote, Reader Request: MSNBC Style Effect. It's a really nice effect and very easy to do too. One of the coolest thing in this effect is that you can use it to create lots of different designs. You can create a header for your site like MSNBC did, or you can create some compositions with photos.
Here you can see the end result of the tutorial
And here is another image I created using the same effect but this time I mixed it with a very beautiful girl. I know the girl makes the design much better. Anyway I'm writing a tutorial showing all steps.

Recipes give new ideas for dealing with leftover Halloween candy.
For the Halloween holiday this year, if you wind up having bought too much of your favorite candy, or maybe having fewer trick-or-treaters, you can use your leftover candies and sweet treats in these recipes. These are better options than keeping them around the house until you finish them off!
Granola Blondies
2 eggs
3/4 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup kefir or plain yogurt
1 tablespoon vanilla
1 cup flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 cups granola
1 cup Reese�s peanut butter cups, chopped
1/2 cup Reese�s pieces
Mix together eggs, brown sugar, kefir and vanilla. Gradually add in flour, baking powder and salt. Mix in granola and candy. Poor into a 9-inch pan and bake at 350F for 25 minutes. Cool before cutting.
Candy Corn Butterfingers
(This one really is turning candy into candy, but it�s kind of cool and a use of candy corn.)
3 cups candy corn
1 1/2 cups smooth peanut butter
Milk chocolate chips or candy melts, for dipping
Place the candy corn in a large bowl and microwave for 1 minute. Stir and return to microwave. Continue heating for 30 seconds and then stirring until it is completely melted.
Stir in the peanut butter. The heat from the candy corn should melt the peanut butter, but if not, return to the microwave for 15 seconds. Stir to combine.
Spread the mixture into an 8 x 8 baking dish lined with parchment paper. Smooth it out evenly in the pan. Let cool for one hour and then use a pizza cutter to slice into bars.
Melt the chocolate chips or candy melts in the microwave.
Carefully dip the candy bars into the melted chocolate and turn to coat.
Place on a parchment lined baking sheet and wait for the chocolate to set.
Store at room temperature for a chewy texture or in the fridge for a more crisp texture.
Peanut M&M�s and Jelly Cookies
1 1-pound log store-bought sugar cookie dough
1/3 cup grape jelly
1 cup crushed Peanut M&M�s
Cut the dough into 16 slices and bake according to the package directions; let cool.
Dividing evenly, spread the cookies with the jelly and sprinkle with the M&M�s.
Candy Corn Pretzel Bark
1/2 pound white chocolate, chopped
1 cup miniature pretzels
1/2 cup candy corn
1/3 cup dried cranberries
Line an 8-inch square baking pan with parchment, leaving an overhang on 2 sides.
Heat the chocolate in a double boiler or medium heatproof bowl set over (but not in) a saucepan of simmering water, stirring often, until melted and smooth.
Spread the chocolate in the prepared pan and sprinkle with the pretzels, candy corn and dried cranberries. Chill until firm, about 1 hour.
Remove the bark from the pan and break into pieces.
Easy Peanut Butter Cup Pie
1 package (8-ounce size) cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup peanut butter, smooth or crunchy
1 cup powdered sugar
1 container (8-ounce size) nondairy whipped topping, thawed
3 regular size peanut butter cup candy bars, chopped
1 graham cracker pie crust
Chocolate ice cream syrup
Cream the cheese with a mixer until smooth. Beat in the peanut butter, then the powdered sugar; mix until smooth. Fold in whipped topping and half of the chopped candy.
Transfer to prepared pie crust. Drizzle the top of pie with chocolate syrup and the remaining crushed peanut butter cup candies. Refrigerate.
NOTE: You can also cover and freeze this pie and use it at a later time.
Milky Way Bundt Cake
10 (2.1-ounce size) Milky Way candy bars
1 3/8 cups butter
2 cups sugar
3 eggs
2 1/2 cups flour
1 cup buttermilk
1 teaspoon baking soda
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
In microwave or double boiler, melt 7 Milky Way candy bars with 1/2 cup butter. Stir until smooth, and set aside to cool.
In a large bowl, cream sugar and 1/2 cup softened butter or margarine until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, mixing after each addition.
In another bowl, whisk together flour and soda. Add flour mixture and buttermilk alternately to creamed mixture, ending with the flour mixture. Stir in candy mixture and vanilla until well blended.
Grease and flour a Bundt pan to within an inch of the top of the pan. It is very important not to grease and flour clear to the top; it will run over, make an awful mess in your oven, and the cake will fall.
Bake at 325 F for about 60 minutes, or until toothpick inserted in cake comes out dry.
Melt 3 Milky Way candy bars with 3/8 cup butter or margarine. Pour glaze over top of the cake, and let it run down the sides. Sprinkle with chopped nuts if desired.

Kind comments for the Mormons...
Item # 650841
July 23, 1842
NILES' NATIONAL REGISTER, Baltimore, July 23, 1842 Page 3 has an article headed: "Illinois" with subhead: "The Mormons" which has near the beginning: "...In regard to moral principles, there is no city either in this state or in the United States that can compare with the city of Nauvoo. You may live in our city a month and not hear an oath sworn, or see one person intoxicated..." and more complimentary comments (rarely found in newspapers of the day). A somewhat lengthy article which takes about half a page.
Also within this issue are: "The Slave Trade" "Texas--President Houston's Message" "Letter From Gen. Jackson" which takes most of a page & is signed in type: Andrew Jackson. Other brief letters signed by John Tyler, and Daniel Webster, and much reporting from Congress.
Sixteen pages, 8 3/4 by 12 inches, some toning to the back page, otherwise in very nice condition.
This newspaper began in 1811 and was a prime source for national political news of the first half of the 19th century. As noted in Wikipedia, this title: "...(was) one of the most widely-circulated magazines in the United States...Devoted primarily to politics...considered an important source for the history of the period."

Astrophysicist Adam Riess Wins the 2011 Nobel Prize in Physics
Adam Riess, an astronomer at the Space Telescope Science Institute (STScI) and Krieger-Eisenhower Professor in Physics and Astronomy at The Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, today was awarded the 2011 Nobel Prize in Physics by the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences. The academy recognized him for leadership in the High-z Team's 1998 discovery that the expansion rate of the universe is accelerating, a phenomenon widely attributed to a mysterious, unexplained "dark energy" filling the universe.
Adam Riess
Adam Riess, an astronomer at the Space Telescope Science Institute (STScI) and Krieger-Eisenhower Professor in Physics and Astronomy at The Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, today was awarded the 2011 Nobel Prize in Physics by the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences. Perlmutter receives one half of this year's prize. The other half of the prize is jointly awarded to Riess and Schmidt. The academy recognized him for leadership in the High-z Team's 1998 discovery that the expansion rate of the universe is accelerating, a phenomenon widely attributed to a mysterious, unexplained "dark energy" filling the universe.
Riess (pronounced "Reese"), 41, shares this year's prize with Saul Perlmutter, an astrophysicist at the University of California, Berkeley, and the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, whose Supernova Cosmology Project team published similar results shortly after those published by Riess, and High-z teammate Brian Schmidt, of the Australian National University. Both teams shared the Peter Gruber Foundation's 2007 Cosmology Prize – a gold medal and $500,000 – for the discovery of dark energy, which Science Magazine called "The Breakthrough Discovery of the Year" in 1998. The researchers also shared the 2006 Shaw Prize in astronomy for the same discovery.
Considered the most prestigious prize in the world, the Nobel has been awarded for achievements in physics, chemistry, physiology or medicine, literature, and peace since 1901 by the Nobel Foundation in Stockholm, Sweden. Riess will receive a medal and diploma and will share a cash award of $1.49 million to be presented at a ceremony in Stockholm in December.
Riess joins another Nobel laureate formerly of STScI: Riccardo Giacconi, STScI's first director, who won the physics prize in 2002 for his contributions to X-ray astronomy.
An overjoyed Riess thanked the Nobel Foundation for the award and said, "My involvement in the discovery of the accelerating universe and its implications for the presence of dark energy has been an incredibly exciting adventure. I have also been fortunate to work with tremendous colleagues and powerful facilities. I am deeply honored that this work has been recognized."
Education and Career Path
The youngest child of a psychologist mother and an engineer-turned-entrepreneur father, Riess grew up in Warren, N.J. An exceptionally inquisitive boy, Riess was teaching an adult class in computer programming at the age of 13. His parents were proud of Riess's intelligence and accomplishments, but kept him grounded and humble by requiring him to work part-time in his father's New York-style delicatessen, washing dishes and bussing tables, he said in a 2008 article in the Johns Hopkins Magazine.
Riess is a 1992 graduate of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, where he majored in physics and minored in history. (An avid sports fan, Riess wrote his final research paper on baseball's 1919 "Black Sox" scandal.) He earned his doctorate in astrophysics from Harvard University in 1996. From 1996 to 1999, the period when the dark energy discovery was made, Riess was a Miller Fellow at the University of California, Berkeley. Since then, Riess has led rigorous efforts to use the Hubble Space Telescope to increase the precision of the dark energy findings, which are important not only for comprehending the makeup of the universe, but also for understanding its history and future and in unraveling other important questions in theoretical physics.
Riess's accomplishments have been recognized with a number of prestigious awards. In 2008, he won a $1 million John T. and Catherine D. MacArthur Foundation "Fellowship Grant," also known as a "genius grant." That same year, he was among the 212 fellows elected to the 228th class of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. In 2007, he shared The Peter Gruber Foundation's Cosmology Prize – a gold medal and $500,000 – and in 2006, he won the $1 million Shaw Prize, considered by some to be "the Nobel of the East." In 2009, Riess was elected to the National Academy of Sciences.
Riess led the study for the High-z Supernova Search Team of highly difficult and precise measurements – across 7 billion light-years – that resulted in the remarkable 1998 discovery that many believe has changed astrophysics forever: an accelerated expansion of the universe propelled by dark energy.
"We originally set out to use a special kind of exploding star called 'supernovae' to measure how fast the universe was expanding in the past and to compare it to how fast it is expanding now," Riess remembered. "We anticipated finding that gravity had slowed the rate of expansion over time. But that's not what we found."
Instead, Riess's team was startled to discern that the rate of expansion was actually speeding up.
"If you tossed a ball into the air and it kept right on going up instead of falling to the ground, you'd be pretty surprised. Well, that's about how surprised we were to get that result," Riess said.
These startling observations sent the team back to the idea – first proposed by Albert Einstein but later rejected as his "biggest blunder" – that the so-called vacuum of space might produce a sort of "anti-gravity" energy that could act repulsively, accelerating the expansion of the universe.
"Suddenly, that idea made sense," said Riess, who posits that dark energy may account for up to 70 percent of the universe. However, exactly what dark energy is and how it behaves remains among the most pressing questions in astrophysics today.
"One of the most exciting things about dark energy is that it seems to live at the very nexus of two of our most successful theories of physics: quantum mechanics, which explains the physics of the small, and Einstein's Theory of General Relativity, which explains the physics of the large, including gravity," he said.
"Currently, physicists have to choose between those two theories when they calculate something. Dark energy is giving us a peek into how to make those two theories operate together. Nature somehow must know how to bring these both together, and it is giving us some important clues. It's up to us to figure out what [those clues] are saying."
Current Research and Interests
Many cosmologists say that understanding dark energy is the biggest challenge in cosmology and physics. Riess and his team are trying to measure dark energy's two most fundamental properties: how stable it is and how it has changed with the evolving universe.
Riess is continuing his Hubble Space Telescope observations of distant supernovae to characterize dark energy. He also is involved in searching for the exploding stars with the Panoramic Survey Telescope and Rapid Response System, a series of ground-based telescopes at the University of Hawaii's Institute for Astronomy. The sky survey is expected to find thousands of new supernovae.
In another method, Riess and his team, called SH0ES (Supernova, H0, for the Equation of State), are analyzing pulsating stars, called Cepheid variables, with the Hubble telescope to refine the measurement of the universe's expansion rate. The new results are helping scientists zero in on the properties of dark energy.
Other Space Telescope Science Institute staff involved in the dark energy research are Ron Gilliland, a co-investigator with Riess, and Andrew Fruchter, Nino Panagia, and Susana Deustua who were on Perlmutter's team.

I am working on updating my bookshelf. The project of "home library" has been on my to-do list forever. I started out manually creating this document but fell behind on other categories while I kept up a little better on the cemetery category.
To speed things up I am experimenting with the Android App Codex. I selected this one for its ease and ability to export the list. And, it's free!
I started by: (see photo below)
- Scanning the ISBN code on the books. It found and generated the listing for me. On the booklets without a code I manually entered as much data as I felt I needed in the default menu
- In the Other menu I tagged it as my cemetery category and
- In the personal menu I checked that I own this book and if I have read it
These photos reflect:
- Collections created: Cemetery is the only one so far
- Categories created from the book based on ISBN data
- The books in the cemetery collection
Using the Codex app export function these are the books I need to add to my bookshelf list:
- Bellefontaine Cemetery: Civil War Tour Booklet, Bellefontaine Cemetery Association
- Bellefontaine Cemetery: A Journey Through History, Bellefontaine Cemetery Association
- Final Thoughts, Eternal Beauty in Stone, John Thomas Grant
- Forever L.A., A Field Guide to Los Angeles Area Cemeteries & Their Residents, Douglas Keister
- Historic Bonaventure Cemetery, Photographs from the Collection of the Georgia Historical Society, Mandi Dale Johnson;Mandi Johnson;Amie Marie Wilson;Historical Society Georgia
- Movers and Shakers, Scalawags and Suffragettes, Tales from Bellefontaine Cemetery, 1849-2006, Carol Ferring Shepley
- Savannah's Laurel Grove Cemetery, John Walker Guss
- Savannah Cemeteries, Matthew Propst
- Stony Point Church and Cemetery, And Historic Hickory Point, Ruth Endicott Brown
- Tales Behind the Tombstones, The Deaths and Burials of the Old West's Most Nefarious Outlaws, Notorious Women, and Celebrated Lawmen, Chris Enss
The photo above reflects the book list on my phone (Droid X2). I exported the file as .CSV so that I could open it in Excel on my laptop, which is reflected on the computer screen behind my phone.
Technology is wonderful. Technology in our hobbies: genealogy, cemeteries, photography, cooking, etc makes me a happy girl.
Many of you know that I love photography...I am planning to incorporate Lightroom 4 into my organization and keyword tagging of my many thousands of cemetery photos. You'll be hearing about that somewhere down the road.
I know there are so many options out there. What do you use?

Many are already hailing the Santi Cazorla signing as the deal of the summer, but what a saga it has been. Don't get me wrong – I am quite excited to see him don the red and white like every other gooner this season. He's long been hailed the best player outside the La Liga duopoly of that club and that other club by Spanish fans and will somewhat fit into the Cesc shaped hole left in our squad since the summer of 2011. That's how special of a player he is.
Cazorla started his professional career at his local club Real Oviedo before joining Villarreal months before turning 18. He worked up the reserves side at the club and made his first team debut for the side in November 2003. The following season, he joined newly promoted Recreativo on loan and pulled the side to a historic 8th placed finish in La Liga. He was proclaimed the Spanish player of the year 2007 by Don Balón after his brilliant performances that season. His return to Villareal the following season saw him help the club place 2nd place in La Liga ahead of Catalan giants Barcelona (07-08). When Real Madrid approached him for his signature in August 2008, he publicly rejected their advances:
"There are many other things in football besides Real Madrid. It's clear that it is possible to say "no" to them. There is no doubt that they are a great team, but I also feel very satisfied and valued at my club. I hope I can continue growing at Villarreal because I am young and I'm only starting off with the national team." (HITC)
However, when newly rich Málaga came calling in the summer of 2011, Villarreal found it difficult to turn down the €21M they offered for his services. Villarreal had to compensate for the huge debt they had accumulated and the Spaniard was seen as a more expendable asset than the club's other star player, Giuseppe Rossi. This was also a record signing for Málaga and by far the biggest deal of the 10 signings they made that summer.
Senna, Villarreal's captain, compared his departure to that of Villarreal's finger being cut off. But it was worse than that. The departure of Cazorla ripped out Villarreal's heart and sent them to the 2nd Division at the end of the 2010-2011 season. They felt the blow even harder when he helped Málaga qualify for the Champions League the following season. Despite this, Cazorla wanted out of the club. Player wages went unpaid during the campaign and promises made by their new owners and management were broken. Cazorla was one of four players (van Nistelrooy, Rondon and Mathijsen the others) who threatened to make a formal complaint against Málaga to the Spanish FA in July.
When Arsenal showed an interest in the crafty midfielder earlier in the summer, Cazorla consulted former Gunners Robert Pires and Cesc Fàbregas over the transfer and was encouraged by what he heard.
"Robert played with me at Villarreal. He knew about the rumours of me coming here and always encouraged me to sign," he said. "He told me it was a very good club and I was going to enjoy London, the city, and the move.
"The same with Cesc Fàbregas. He said this was a big club and that I was going to be very happy here, he said I would adapt easily. And I can feel that." (Guardian)
The midfielder has 45 caps for Spain to date and was a member of the squads that won the Euros in 2008 and this past summer.
Today, I'm joined by Málaga resident and Arsenal fan Robbie Ducker (@RobbieDucker) who has followed the Cazorla saga closely.
1. What was your initial reaction when you heard Cazorla was going to join Arsenal?
I was very excited (sad from a Málaga point of view) because he is probably the most naturally gifted player in La Liga outside of Madrid/Barca.
2. How much of an impact do you think his departure will have on Málaga?
I think it will be a huge loss for Málaga because he was at the center of most their attacks. I hope someone will step up and fill his shoes (maybe Isco). This is like Arsenal losing Cesc or RvP. He was clearly their best player and influential in them achieving Champions league football.
3. What are the strengths and weaknesses you have observed of Cazorla? Both on and off the pitch.
His strengths are his passing, his creativity, his pace, two footed, he would get past players with ease and leave them chasing shadows and he's also a set-piece specialist. I remember watching Málaga vs Real Madrid, and it was level until Santi scored a brilliant FK in the 90 min to win it. His biggest weakness is probably that sometimes he would try to do too much on his own.
4. How did Cazorla grow as a player while at Málaga?
I think he's become more versatile as he can play in most position in the midfield. At Málaga he played on both wings, the CAM position and even as a DM on occasions.
5. How do you think Cazorla will fit into the Arsenal team?
Very well. He's a Spaniard and plays like one. Passing is very important to him, which will suit Arsenal's passing game very well.
6. How do you see Cazorla coping in England and the Premier League?
He's small so might struggle with the physicality of some teams. But when Arsenal has the ball (which is most of the time) he will be fine and will control the tempo of the game just fine.
7. How do you think Cazorla's relationships with Arteta and Pires will help in Cazorla's adjustment to playing outside of Spain for the first time in his career?
I think his relationship with them will more help him in living outside of Spain for the first time, because on the pitch he will soon be regarded as one of the best in the EPL.
Thank you for joining me on this series. I would also like to extend my thanks to the three people that have contributed to the blogs. If you have not read parts 1 and 2 of the series yet, they are as follows:
Part 1: Lukas Podolski
Part 2: Olivier Giroud

Just Country: Ray Price not interested in taking it easy
There are two things you can't deny about Country Music Hall of Famer Ray Price. At an age way beyond when most entertainers fade into retirement, he's still touring and delivering songs fans love. And his vocals are still top-notch.
Make that three things. He's not letting even pancreatic cancer stand in his way.
Price confirmed rumors that he has cancer, adding that after six months of chemotherapy the tumor has not grown and he is hopeful for a full recovery and feels fine, good enough to be looking forward to his next concert, at 8 p.m. Saturday at the Floresville Community Events Center.
Bobby Flores & The Yellow Rose Band will open. Flores, who has played fiddle in Price's Cherokee Cowboys and in his recordings, also will join him on stage.
"He's a great cat," Price said. "We'll enjoy the added strings onstage."
As usual, Price's son, Cliff, will open his set with country classics. Doors will open at 7 p.m. Tickets cost $60. Call 830-534-3569.
Price will return Monday to M.D. Anderson Cancer Centerin Houston for a checkup.
"The doctor said that every man will have cancer if he lives to be old enough," the 86-year-old Price said. "I don't know why I got it — I ain't old."
The cancer was discovered while his gallbladder was being removed after a gall stone attack. He was told the only way to cure it was to remove the pancreas, a nine-hour operation that involves removal of a portion of the liver and stomach, Price said.
"They said that if you live through that, you run straight to the nursing home," Price said. "That's not very much of an option for me. God knows I want to live as long as I can, but I don't want to live like that.
"My buddy (famed physician Dr. James "Red" Duke) told M.D. Anderson there was no way they were going to cut on me."
Price had to reduce touring to 25-30 dates this year, although he told his booking agent he wants to do at least 100 in 2013.
"I might wish I hadn't done that somewhere along the middle of it. But I'm having big crowds everywhere we go, having sellouts. After 67 years, I'm tickled to death. It sure beats working in the cotton patch," said Price, who did just that on his grandfather's East Texas farm during the Depression.
On Nov. 14, he will head to Nashville to begin recording "Love Songs," his first album since 2007's "Last of the Breed" with Willie Nelson and Merle Haggard.
"There's no breakups, no makeups, no whiskey drinking, no cheatin', no honkying around," Price said. "It may be so rare it will really hit."
Married to Janie for 45 years, Price focused on love songs after noticing so many older couples.
"These songs are a tribute to them for being so sweet to their husbands for so many years and vice versa," he said.
Staring cancer in the eye gave him a new concept of living while looking back at his life — and forward, Price said during a phone interview from the cab of his pickup. He was parked on a hill on his farm near Mount Pleasant, east of Dallas, where he was rehearsing songs for the new album while enjoying the view.
"Everything is beautiful, all the trees, the different kinds of grasses. Everything is in the right place, even a piece of junk. It just makes everything look different for a second or two," he said. "It's a gift to all of us.
"I'm not looking for sympathy. That's just the way it is."
Quick picks
Jake Owen, who toured with Kenny Chesney and Tim McGraw over the summer and owns the No. 8 single, "The One That Got Away," on Billboard's country chart, will bring his first headlining tour Friday to Cowboys Dancehall. It's called CMT on Tour Jake Owen: The Summer Never Ends 2012, in honor of his "Endless Summer" EP. Also on the bill are Love and Theft and Florida Georgia Line.
Pat Green, who will be at John T. Floore Country Store on Saturday for an outdoor show with Hudson Moore, is making a run up the Texas Music chart with the No. 7 single "Even the Losers," a cover of the Tom Petty tune, from his latest CD, "Songs We Wish We'd Written II."
Fiery fiddler Charlie Daniels, whose blending of country and Southern rock helped pave the way for the Jason Aldeans of today, will bring hits, including "The Devil Went Down to Georgia," Saturday to the Overtime concert in the Bud Light Courtyard outside the AT&T Center after the Spurs game with the Utah Jazz. Admission is free with a game ticket.
Sammy Kershaw, who rode the wave of new traditionalist country acts with hits such as "Cadillac Style" in the 1990s, will hit Blue Bonnet Palace on Saturday with songs from his 2010 CD, "Better Than I Used to Be." Last month, he released a holiday CD, "A Sammy Klaus Christmas."
