But it still hasn't been officially released to the public.
An Independent Police Review Authority spokesman told ABC7 on Friday that if the agency had its way the public still wouldn't know the result of an investigation that apparently ended seven months ago. He said the report on a 2007 police-involved death was under a "protective order" and should not have been released.
The incident happened on August 4, 2007 at 8112 South Green Street where Chicago Police called to a domestic disturbance by the victim's family repeatedly tasered 42-year-old Gefrey Johnson. During the confrontation involving several cops inside the victim's home, Johnson's mother dialed 911 to report that her son was killed in the dining room.
ABC7 obtained a copy of the report on the 332 days-long investigation that began under the old Office of Professional Standards and was continued by the newly-formed Independent Police Review Authority. Dated July 3, 2008, it exonerated all of the officers investigated. It is the first IPRA finding that ABC7 is aware of in a fatal excessive force case.
"If you believe that in some time in July of 2008 this was complete, we should have been entitled to get it," said Mel Brooks, attorney.
Brooks who represents the Johnson family in a wrongful death lawsuit acknowledged he received a copy only two weeks ago. He said the finding gave too much weight to police witnesses who say they saw Gefrey Johnson walking to a squad car and too little credence to others who saw the victim's body carried away.
"We see statements in this report to the effect that non-police witnesses are considered non-credible," said Brooks.
Director Ilana Rosenzweig was unavailable to comment on why the IPRA did not publicly release a finding it made seven months ago.But agency spokesman Mark Payne told ABC7, "We're very close to figuring out how to release information to the public".
Police Superintendent Jody Weis wants IPRA findings released, especially when community relations and the reputations of his officers hang in the balance.
"I think it will work in the long end of actually clearing a lot of the misconceptions about officers, some of the allegations that they face wrongly," said Chicago Police Superintendent Jody Weis.
The paperwork ABC7 obtained indicated the department and the officers involved were informed last summer that the excessive force charges were determined to be unfounded. But attorney Brooks says the family's lawsuit will continue despite the IPRA finding which he says is flawed.
Mr. Brooks also says this new IPRA system is working no better than the now-defunct Office of Professional Standards.

We win some, like the epic battle to save the Christian Specht building at 1110 Douglas St. The structure is locally landmarked and listed on the National Register. According to the State Historic Preservation Office, it's the most intact iron front building in the state of Nebraska.
We lose some, like the epic battle to save the Clarinda and Page Apartments, a classic representative of Omaha's early luxury apartment buildings that developed along Omaha's parks and boulevard system after the turn of the 20th century. The Clarinda once served as an iconic portal to the Leavenworth neighborhood and a historical companion to the Colonial Revival First Unitarian Church.
No matter the outcome, one thing is certain – we will never stop our efforts to protect the metro's architectural treasures. Want to help? Here's what you can do:
- Let us know about historic buildings that are in need of our help. Send all the pertinent information, along with your contact information, to firstname.lastname@example.com.
- Follow us on social media, and like and share our posts. Knowledge is power, and our numbers are growing. Sharing our messages will contribute to our momentum!
- Join our letter-writing team. Numbers count! Letters, emails and phone calls to elected officials are incredibly important at critical junctures in the decision-making processes that affect our historic building stock.
- Become an REO member, and encourage your colleagues, friends and family to become members. It's easy! Choose a level that fits your wallet. You'll also feel good after you do it!
- Get ready to mobilize when our next historic treasure is threatened. It could be next year, or it could be next week. We'd love your help when it's time to spring into action!

This past week has been a little bit crazy! but good. I might have gotten a little bit more sick... and we might think that it's not allergies... but i will hopefully be going to the doctor soon and it will all get worked out! I got a Priesthood blessing and was blessed that I would recover quickly and get back to proselyting. so that is the plan!!! I might have been stuck inside for a little bit this weekend... and I got super bored! Missionaries not working is never a good thing! :) but sister Bentley was able to work it all out so that she could still get to our appointments. and things are still going really well in our area! so there are blessings all around!!!!
ok as far as a package goes um... no I don't really need a new CTR ring. if I really want one I can get it when I come home. currently I have been told that I have to eat a BRAT diet (Banana's, Rice, Apple Sauce,s and Toast) hopefully that will change soon! (I might have bought some crackers to snack on too) so hopefully I will get it figured out. I am sure there is a simple answer. so I don't know about a package. if you feel the desire to send one that is fine but if not I am okay with that too :) I might actually be sending home some old study journals and things sometime in the next few weeks.
ok so this past week. We got to see Aprille twice! and her husband sat in on one of our lessons! which is awesome. She is seriously such a great person! I am so glad that I got to meet her and teach her. She was telling us about how she pulled out this huge book of her genealogy that her grandma had given to her and inside were some amazing stories! (she comes from pioneer ancestry but her mom decided not to raise her family in the church. So that is why she is now an investigator and not a life long member) so she starts reading these stories to us. and her however many great grandmother used to go and play with Joseph Smith's little girl! They lived in Far West and inNauvoo. She has an account of them watching the prophet and his brother ride off to Carthage Jail. It was really cool to hear about! She's amazing! She loves the Book of Mormon and we are just so excited to get to keep teaching her. :)
We had some really great lessons this past week with some less active families as well. We are doing this program called Home Primary. Basically the Primary gives us names of kids who haven't been for a while and we go and teach the Sharing Time lesson to them. It's been a lot of fun! and funny enough I have been teaching quiet a few 5 year olds :) what can I say! they are my people :) I sure do love getting to spend time with them. We have a super awesome ward out here. I seriously love it! Church yesterday was perfect! Exactly what I needed. Don't you just love when you have had a hard week or something and then you get to go to church and BAM! you just get hit with the spirit and you know that everything is going to be just fine. It's like these special messages from Heavenly Father. The peace and comfort that comes as we get to partake of the Sacrament is something that I literally can not live without. There are many times that I tell myself just make it to Sunday!! Sunday is the best day ever because we get to take the Sacrament :) I love it!!!
I am trying to think if there have been any crazy adventures that we have been on recently. I feel like the major one has just been staying healthy! (sister Bentley got some food poisoning this past week... ya it's been a little crazy around here!) but our ward members and our Sister Training Leader have been taking such good care of us. It's been great.
I love you all tons and tons! I know this email is super short but I don't really know what else to write about. I was joking with the other sisters that I must have lost like 17 lbs in the past two days! since I can only eat like rice. but hopefully soon I will be back to eating like a normal person. The good news is that it is most like that I am NOT allergic to peanut butter!!!! so I am super excited about that. Not that I am currently allowed to eat it again but I am still excited that there is a possibility that I may someday get to eat it again :)
Well I love you!!! Thank you for all the thoughts and prayers! they mean so much to me!!!!!
Love always your favorite Sister Missionary!!
Sister Boudreaux
July 28, 2014
oh goodness this past week has just flown by! I don't even know what happened! So last monday we packed some and said a lot of goodbye's which were incredibly hard! I miss everyone there already. Huron has a very special place in my heart that is for sure. Then Tuesday we cleaned our car, house, and PACKED! which took forever. then a few last goodbye's Htoo Say Paw was hard. She is the Karen girl who is 13. We are pretty buch BFF's. I might have given her my CTR ring when I left. but she told me to be her friend on facebook when I get home :) so I will for sure be looking her up. Then that night we drove to Brookings. The transfer train was supposed to get there at 8:30. but then didn't get there til 10:30. so then I was like that's okay I can just sleep on the train. eh false! they asked sister maisey and I to drive a car behind them. so ya. it was an adventure! we stopped in Sioux Falls for the night and had 9 sisters staying in 1 apartment. the next morning we woke up at 5:30 and got ready so we could head out by 7. then I rode in the 12 passenger van (aka the train) for the next FOREVER. the first part of the drive, from sioux falls to rapid, I rode with a lot of misisonaries who were on their way home. the second half of my ride from rapid to casper, I rode with a lot of new missionaries! so the two rides were a little bit different. We did stop in Rapid for a little bit and it was like being back home :) I finally got to Casper around 6:30 so pretty much a full 24 hours later :)ok! so I made it here! and Sister Bentley is awesome! I love her. She is from California (a town just north of LA) and she's great. We actually are only about a month apart in age. and oh my goodness Casper is different than Huron! when we went to church yesterday I was like... there are so many people!!! it was weird. :) and there are 3 church buildings here! crazy! we however don't have a car. but that's okay. that combined with all these weird food allergy things just mean that I can loose weight before I come home :)
Love you all!!!!!

When it first learned about critical flaws plaguing its processors, Intel told a small group of customers, among them are Chinese technology firms including Alibaba Group, but didn't include the U.S. government in its initial disclosures, a new report alleges.
Security researchers said that decision raises concerns, as it could have enabled Chinese companies to get ahold of information about Meltdown and Spectre before the public. No current evidence to suggest the information was misused, according to the researchers.
Intel Went To Chinese Companies First When Meltdown, Spectre Happened
It's been weeks since both chip flaws ravaged the entire tech industry — but there's still some potent debate and controversy about which companies Intel chose to disclose crucial information to. The huge debate arose from the vulnerabilities that could have been severely exploited by ill hands. Because they allowed access to sensitive user data, information about the flaws would be of tremendous benefit for intelligence agencies, according to Jake Williams, formerly of the National Security Agency.
Intel had originally planned to blow the lid off Jan. 9, but had to speed up its timetable when the news broke on Jan. 3, just a day after UK website The Register exposed the flaws to the public. But Williams claims that it is with "near certainty" Beijing was aware of what was going on, particularly Intel's discussions with Chinese tech firms.
A spokesperson for Intel told The Wall Street Journal that it wasn't able to tell everyone it planned to tell because The Register made the story public before the company intended to disclose it itself. That would seem to mean that Intel was going to give the U.S. government very little lead time ahead of the disclosure, as security editor for ZDNet Zack Whittaker points out on Twitter:
This is grade A crap. Several people told me Meltdown/Spectre's planned disclosure was set for Jan. 9 but was revealed on Jan. 3 after a PoC came out. Based on WSJ, Intel was going to tell the US gov. only a week before disclosure?! It knew since June! https://t.co/DLusu37zoL pic.twitter.com/3s9COTub0C
— Zack Whittaker (@zackwhittaker) January 28, 2018
Intel said early reportage of both flaws had derided its plans entirely, because it was planning to approach manufacturers and other firms to come up with solutions.
"Standard and well-established practice on initial disclosure is to work with industry participants to develop solutions and deploy fixes ahead of publication," the spokesperson said. "In this case, news of the exploit was reported ahead of the industry coalition's intended public disclosure date at which point Intel immediately engaged the US government and others."
Meltdown And Spectre Controversy
The Meltdown and Spectre flaws have caused widespread panic — and rightly so, since they theoretically can affect anyone using a computer. The solution? A massive cleanup effort to ensure patches, updates, and security fixes are pushed out quickly. It's still going on.
It's a tricky situation, of course. Yes, it's a given that Intel has to notify partners immediately, but it also has to limit those notifications to minimize leaks before the patches are ready. The issue is that it didn't do so well in acknowledging the implications of cherry picking who to tell first.

Bottomlines under more pressure as competition intensifies
The slow recovery in the European Union, Southeast Europe's (SEE) main trading partner, the sluggish prospects facing nearly all economies in the region and shrunken domestic demand all left their mark on corporate bottomlines in 2013. At the same time, long overdue structural reforms, fiscal and regulatory volatility and poor infrastructure continued to be a drag on local businesses. Against this backdrop, the performance of the companies in the SEE TOP 100 ranking was expectedly lackluster – their combined revenues in 2013 were flattish, with nearly half of the entrants seeing a decline in their revenues.

With the exception of Slovenia, the banking system in Southeast Europe (SEE), however, managed to stay stable, although continuing to struggle with high non-performing loan (NPL) ratios, weak lending growth and subdued economic growth. The ranking was dominated by Romanian lenders, which accounted for nearly a quarter of the total assets of the banks in the region. Read more

- School administrators are limited to just the school he or she is assigned. They can add staff, students, classes, assign licenses and perform the same administrative operations as a district administrator—just for one school, rather than a whole district.
- Teachers only see students within a school. They do not have the "Staff" tab, "Settings" or the ability to override student placement in the curriculum. Teachers are assigned an "Access Level" in their user profile. This determines what the teacher sees in the "Student" and "Reports" tabs. Teachers must be assigned to a school. Choose the school in the dropdown menu under "Access Level." Generally, we recommend that you keep the Class access level to "All." This means the teacher will see all classes and students at the school.

If you assign a teacher to a class, that teacher cannot create new classes.

Licenses are assigned per student for SmartStart PreK, Waterford Reading and Waterford Math and Science. For Classroom Advantage, licenses are assigned per teacher in Staff. Once a license is assigned to a student or teacher, it is considered "In Use."
A teacher or administrator adds a course through the Students tab. If a license is available, the course is assigned and the student can begin running sessions. If there are no licenses available, the teacher will see the following error message:
4.1.1.Manage student licenses
The Licenses page allows you to reserve a number of licenses to specific schools.
- Reserving licenses to schools is optional.
- Even if you reserve licenses to a school, you still must assign an individual license to a teacher or student before the product can be used.
To understand the licenses table, use these tables from a demo school. You can that the total licenses for this district is 350. (Not all schools are listed in the screenshot.) In the first table, there are 194 Unassigned Licenses.
I reserved 50 licenses for New York BOCES school. You can see that the number of Unassigned Licenses is now 144.
Example Scenarios
- If a school has zero assigned licenses, but there are available Unassigned Licenses, a teacher in that school can assign a course to a student.
- If all licenses are reserved, Unassigned Licenses will be zero. In this situation, a teacher in a school with no reserved licenses will not be able to assign a course to a student. This is true even if other schools in the district are not actively using all of their Assigned licenses.
Reading the Licenses Table
- Assigned represents reserved licenses and in use licenses. If a school is not using all of their Assigned licenses, the In Use number will be smaller than the Assigned number.
- Once a course is assigned to a student, this table updates automatically: the In Use number and the Assigned number go up by 1, and the Unassigned Licenses number goes down by 1.
- In Use will never be smaller than the Assigned number.
4.1.2.Reserve licenses for schools
- Log in with an administrator account.
- Click Settings.
- Click Licenses.
- Enter the desired number of licenses in the table.
- Click Save.
4.1.3.Unassign licenses
If you have a limited number of licenses and need to free some up for other students, you can remove associations (unassign all student licenses), remove license reservations or unassign a student's course.
Remove Associations
Only remove associations if you want to completely reset your account. In addition to unassigning all licenses, this action also removes school and class assignments. This is typically only done at the end or beginning of a school year. Go to the remove associations section to learn more.
Remove License Reservations
If you have more licenses reserved for schools than are currently in use, you can simply change that number:
- Click Settings.
- Click Licenses.
- Edit the number under Assigned.
- Click Save.
Unassign Courses
To unassign a student's course:
- Click Students.
- Select the student in the left-hand menu.
- Under the student's name, click Courses.
- Uncheck the box next to the course you wish to unassign.
- Click Save.
A new license will be available. You can go to the licenses table to verify.
4.1.4.Walk-through: Licenses
4.2.Change account level
Changing your account level changes the top-level of your account (for example, from a school to a district or from a district to a multi-district).
- Click Settings.
- Click Account Level.
- Select a new level from the drop-down menu and enter a name.
- Click Save.
4.3.School year and goals
Your school-year dates affect reports and dashboards. Usage recommendations are calculated from the school-year start date to the school-year end date.
- Click Settings.
- Click School Year/Goals.
- Enter the date your students will begin using Waterford in the Start Date field.
- Enter the date your students will stop using Waterford in the End Date field.
- Click Save Changes.
Usage goals are by default set to the Waterford recommendation of 5 days per week and 15 or 30 minutes per day. However, you can set custom usage goals according to your own goals and needs.
To set your usage goals:
- Click Settings.
- Click School Year/Goals.
- Double check that your school year dates are correct and update if necessary.
- Select the program for which you want to modify goals.
- Enter the minutes per day and days per week for each grade level. Remember that engagement will be measured according to the goals you set here.
- Select close and then save.
Your usage goal progress is shown in your progress reports and dashboards. Usage goals are a percentage of Waterford's usage recommendations. For example, if you put 80 in the Usage Goal field, this represents using courses 80% of Waterford's recommended usage.
4.4.Remove associations
Use Remove association to prepare for the new school year. This feature removes class and student associations to reflect new teacher and student assignments, releases licenses from non-returning students, and resets the school year for reporting purposes.
To reset the school year:
- Log in as an administrator.
- Click Settings.
- Click Remove association. This does several things:
- Increases school year date by one year.
- Moves all students to Unassigned students.
- Removes course licenses from all students.
- Disassociates teachers with classes. School associations remain.
- Deletes all classes.
- Sends a notification email to all staff accounts.
- Update your import file to reflect new class assignments.
- Update your import file to reflect new class assignments.
- Import the file.
- Assign courses to students.
- Assign teachers to new classes, if desired.
Important things to keep in mind:
- Course licenses and reports require an accurate school year date to work properly. Verify that the updated school year is correct.
- Teacher accounts created before the August 4, 2014 update may not have an email address. In order for teachers to be notified of a school year reset, please add emails to existing teacher accounts.
- The school year reset does not remove teacher licenses for Classroom Advantage.
4.5.Media servers
For most cloud users, your media server is managed by Waterford. If you have a NAS device or other alternative setup, you may need to edit the media server location.
- Login as an administrator.
- Click Settings.

Keith Newlin always had the National Park Service in his sights as a career.
"I've always had it in front of me," he said. "I majored in history, not history education, history. Most people said I'd never find a job in history. I had faith."
He is a native of Perry County and grew up about 40 miles north of Gettysburg. He became involved with the Park Service as a member of the Youth Conservation Corps and through seasonal work at the Gettysburg battlefield.
He graduated from Shippensburg University with a bachelor's degree in history. He joined the Park Service in 1980. Newlin, 53, now lives in Martinsburg, Blair County, with his wife, Nancy, and daughter, Samantha, 17.
Prior to coming to this region, he worked for the Denver Service Center and at the National Mall, the Korean War Memorial, Independence Hall, Antietam, Hopewell Furnace and the birthplace of the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
Newlin was deputy superintendent for the western Pennsylvania region of the National Park Service. He succeeded Superintendent Joanne Hanley, who retired Jan. 31 to head the Gettysburg Foundation, a nonprofit organization.
His predecessor had high praise for his abilities.
"Keith is the right person at the right time to take Flight 93 to the next level of development," Hanley said in an e-mail. "He has an unparalleled understanding and insight of design and construction needs, and is sensitive to the complexities and needs of the partnerships that exist at all five of the national parks in western Pa."
The parks are: Friendship Hill National Historic Site in Point Marion, Fayette County; Fort Necessity National Battlefield in Farmington, Fayette County; Allegheny Portage Railroad National Historic Site in Blair and Cambria counties; Johnstown Flood National Memorial in Cambria County; and the Flight 93 National Memorial in Somerset County.
"Five sites are a lot, but it is mitigated by the good staff at all sites," Newlin said. "If I'm not there, I talk to the staff daily. Traveling can be tiresome – it's 2 1/2 hours for the whole route. As a history major, I see the accomplishments of past history and now present history. We are getting a good education in how people perceive events in modern society."
Fifty years from now people may ask why certain Flight 93 National Memorial design decisions were made, he said. That is why the process is being documented.
"Some days are tough, but the blessing is the families (of Flight 93)," he said. "They've been supportive. They support the site. They all strike me as good people."
Gordon Felt, president of the Families of Flight 93, said they feel the same about Newlin.
"The Families of Flight 93 hold Superintendent Newlin in the highest regard," Felt wrote in an e-mail. "He has worked tirelessly on behalf of the Flight 93 National Memorial and we are confident that his continued leadership will help to shepherd the memorial project through to completion."
John Reynolds, chairman of the Flight 93 Federal Advisory Commission, is also pleased by Newlin's appointment.
"I am very happy that Keith has been appointed to be superintendent of the five southwest Pennsylvania parks," he said in an e-mail. "He is a level-headed manager dedicated to getting it right at Flight 93 and the other four parks. He and Jeff Reinbold, Flight 93 site manager, have a very strong working relationship, essential for completing construction, planning the 10th anniversary, staying connected with each of the partner organizations and managing the park operation on a day-to-day basis. They like and respect each other very much and work to maximize the strengths of each. Flight 93 and the other four parks are in very good, capable hands."
Reinbold said the staff is excited that Newlin was selected as the superintendent.
"He has a long history with the parks in Western Pennsylvania and has been closely involved with the construction and the other aspects of the Flight 93 project," he said.
While talking about the Flight 93 National Memorial, Newlin is always conscious of the families.
"When we're in meetings or discussions, I always want to be careful, we're talking about someone's brother or her dad," he said. "I want to be respectful and I don't gloss over things. Here are people who knew the passengers and crew. These are their families."

Author! Author!/
Author! Author! is, among other things, a movie about a playwright who has lost his ability to write coherently. More often than not, it feels like it was written by a screenwriter suffering from the same affliction. It would be painful enough to see the great Al Pacino slumming his way through a cutesy, formulaic family movie, but the film is so indecisive about what it wants to be and what it wants to say that it never really feels like a real movie at all. It feels like a collection of half-finished scenes from four or five different movies – all pretty terrible.
The playwright is Ivan Travalian (Al Pacino, The Godfather), who is struggling to get his new play off the ground after a series of flops. Despite the encouragement of his producer (Alan King, Casino), Ivan can't seem to find the right director or the right actors for his material. When the film begins, the esteemed Andre Gregory (of My Dinner with Andre) makes a cameo as a director who doesn't like the hammy lead actor Ivan wants to cast. Ivan has the director fired, and Gregory's quick exit from the movie feels like the film symbolically kicking skepticism and cool-headed intelligence (that actor IS pretty wretched) out the door.
To make matters worse, things are getting rough at home: Ivan discovers that his wife Gloria (Tuesday Weld, Once Upon a Time in America) has been cheating on him. Gloria moves out, leaving Ivan with custody of five children (four of which are products of Gloria's previous marriages). This would be a challenge with regular kids, but these are Precocious Movie Kids, which means the whole thing is a real headache for Ivan and the audience.
Plus, there's romance! The lead actress in Ivan's play is Alice Detroit (Dyan Cannon, Heaven Can Wait), a movie star who is doing theatre for the first time. She immediately develops a fondness for Ivan, and it isn't long before the two dive right into a passionate affair. Unfortunately, Alice isn't really fond of Ivan's kids, and Ivan doesn't really love Alice... he loves Gloria, despite the fact that Gloria has treated him terribly. Eventually, Ivan is faced with a choice: go for the beautiful actress who dislikes kids, or for the complicated ex-wife with infidelity issues.
The conclusion Ivan and the film come to (spoiler alert?) is that women of all sorts generally suck, which would be a dopey bit of misogyny in any context but which feels particularly odd within the confines of a film that generally wants to be seen as a heartwarming family movie. The film's portrait of Gloria is particularly ugly, painting her as a serial adulterer and neglectful mom with no redeeming qualities whatsoever. She feels less like a real woman than like the sort of impossibly evil, heartless monster a bitter husband describes during the darkest days of divorce court proceedings. "Get out of the water, Gloria... leave some room for the other sharks!" Ivan bellows.
That line is a pretty solid indicator of the dialogue's level of wit, by the way. Many of the conversations in Author! Author! feel like the very definition of "trying too hard" ("Look at you eating garbage like a veritable raccoon," Ivan tells his junk food-loving son). To his credit, Pacino does his level best to sell all of this, delivering his lines with that signature blend of bewilderment and venom (in some ways, this character feels like an alternate universe version of Ricky Roma). Pacino is a reliably interesting performer, but there's a weary desperation in his work here that doesn't seem rooted in the character he's playing. This is a snapshot of an actor who just knows he's stuck in a dud of a movie.
Between all of the aimless relationship drama theatrics and an abundance of insufferably cutesy scenes between Pacino and the kids ("I inherited your nose!" his one biological son says as they both look at each other and laugh), the whole "struggling playwright" thing struggles to get the attention it needs. So, when the theatre plot takes over the movie for a large chunk of the third act, we're nowhere near as invested as we should be, because the movie has been directing our attention elsewhere. So, the film whips together a half-baked happy ending, tosses in a cornball freeze-frame closing shot and wraps things up with an insufferably syrupy pop song ("Coming home to you's like coming home to miiiiilk and cooo-oo-kiees..."). Pacino's next film was the vivid Scarface, and you can't help but wonder if his iconic fury as Tony Montana was partially inspired by the memory that he agreed to star in Author! Author!

By Casey Dugan, an engineer in the Cognitive User Experience Group at IBM Research in Cambridge, MA.
During my time here, I've heard a number of different senior vice presidents speak to us, and each time the message has been the same:
"IBM Research is made up of world-class talent, who are uniquely qualified to and should be tackling the most challenging problems, to make the world a better place"
Pretty inspiring stuff, no matter how many times I hear it! And when you think about IBM having over 400,000 employees and IBM Research representing less than 1% of that, it seems like a pretty elite group to be a part of. But the most important tip I've learned, which I've heard in almost every hiring discussion I've been a part of, is that regardless of whether there is a formal job opening advertised, there are nearly always opportunities in IBM Research for world class talent!
So how do you show you're world class? Here are my top tips….
A passion for innovation
No matter what kind of candidates I'm interviewing, I'm always looking for a passion for innovation. I'll never forget my very first interview at IBM Research, and being asked a very simple question: "what kinds of new features would you add to an instant messaging client if given absolute freedom?" As an undergrad in college, where most interviews consistent of coding tasks to test your knowledge, this was the first time someone had given me an interview question like that. I remember coming up with some ideas on the spot then going home and coming up with a LOT more. I knew then that this was the kind of place I wanted to work!
Self motivation
Researchers also tend to be pretty self-motivated, pursuing that passion for innovation. A salary isn't usually what makes researchers pull all-nighters before a big conference deadline! So I'm looking to work with people who have tried to pursue some of those great ideas or make them happen as side projects.
Patience and persistence
After working here for nearly a decade, I think a great candidate also needs patience and persistence. We're working on the future, and sometimes need to be prepared to guide the rest of the world and wait while they catch up. I've had other business units come back to us ready to productize something we worked on years ago – which is just as much of a success to me as the work that sailed through more easily.
Try an internship
I mentioned before that my first interview with IBM was as an undergrad. That was for an internship. I ended up interning twice with my group before finally joining full-time after getting my Master's degree. That is another piece of advice I'd offer to anyone still in school: intern at IBM to increase your chances of joining full-time. Not only does it give you an inside look at the company before you have to make a full-time commitment, it also gives your future colleagues a way to see everything you're capable of. At one point, over half of our group was made up of former interns!
Don't be scared to reach out
My final piece of advice, for people looking at IBM Research, in particular, is to reach out to individual researchers doing work that interests you. Many of us publish at academic conferences and those papers include contact information. Why not reach out to discuss that work and make a new connection in the process? You'll be able to better find out what kind of opportunities in that group might be available, from internships to post-docs to full-time positions. And even if a job isn't available right now, you might still be able to collaborate on a project together!

We refute the widely held belief that the quantum weak value necessarily pertains to weak measurements. To accomplish this, we use the transverse position of a beam as the detector for the conditioned von Neumann measurement of a system observable. For any coupling strength, any initial states, and any choice of conditioning, the averages of the detector position and momentum are completely described by the real parts of three generalized weak values in the joint Hilbert space. Higher-order detector moments also have similar weak value expansions. Using the Wigner distribution of the initial detector state, we find compact expressions for these weak values within the reduced system Hilbert space. As an application of the approach, we show that for any Hermite-Gauss mode of a paraxial beamlike detector these expressions reduce to the real and imaginary parts of a single system weak value plus an additional weak-value-like contribution that only affects the momentum shift.

Mountains and Volcanoes
Mountains and Volcanoes are somewhat similar but the major thing that makes them different is their formation. A mountain is formed due to various geological processes like movement and opposition of tectonic plates but a volcano is formed around a vent that allows magma to reach the surface of the earth. It all has to do with plate tectonics.
Formation of a Mountain: –
A mountain is formed by the movement and opposition of tectonic plates. When two of them collide, they form pointed peaks and valleys by crumpling the edges.
Formation of a Volcano: –
A volcano is formed when lava gets collected by after several volcanic eruptions and a vent allows the magma to reach the surface. It forms volcanic stones by cooling down around the vent.
Difference between mountain and volcano: –
- A volcano is a type of mountain but it has magma, v=crater and lava. A mountain does not have these three things.
- Mountains are peaceful area whereas volcanoes are very much dangerous and not a good place to stay.
- Mountains contain water but you will not be able to find any traces of water near a volcano.
- A mountain will surely have an elevation higher than its surroundings but not all volcanoes rise higher than their surroundings.
- Volcanoes can be a part of mountain ranges.
- Kilimanjaro qualifies as both, mountain and volcano.
Volcano Quick Facts:
- Mauna Loa in Hawaii is the tallest volcano in the world – Mauna Loa is over 33,000 ft tall from its base under the sea to its peak above sea level.
- The word volcano in named after the Roman God of Fire "Vulcan".
- 90% of our planets volcanoes are in the Pacific Ocean in an area called "The Ring of Fire".
- Magma is the liquid rock within the volcano, once the magma comes out of the volcano is then called Lava.
- Currently we have over 1900 volcanoes that are active. These volcanoes have the potential to erupt.
- The largest volcanic eruption experienced by mankind was back in 1815 when Mount Tambora on Sumbowa Island erupted (Mount Tambora located Indonesia).
- The soil around volcanoes is rich and fertile, that is why so many people live around volcanic areas.
- There are 169 volcanoes active in the United States.
- Yellowstone National Park is deemed to have United States most dangerous volcano.
- Mount Etna in Italy (Sicily) is Europe's largest active volcano 10,922 feet tall.
- Lava in an eruption can reach a whopping temperature of 1200 Degrees Celsius.
- Although Lava is extremely dangerous after a volcanic eruption, the volcano has has another and more dangerous flow called a "Pyroclastic Flow". A Pyroclastic flow is made up of hot gases and fragments that flow down the slopes of the volcano destroying everything in it's path. It can travel at speeds up to 430 mph.

Babies are expensive, and especially so if parents aren't planning ahead and looking for ways to save money. What many parents are doing to try to save their bank accounts from imploding with the birth of new child is get some advice from baby experts and other parents they know before they do their shopping.
One of the first tips the experts give is to buy sparingly. Too many parents go overboard and try to buy a bunch of things for the baby and end up with far more newborn girl clothes than they need. About two weeks' worth of outfits as all the average baby needs.
Parents are also advised to buy outside the expected size range of the baby. While most baby clothes are made with a bit of stretch in them to accommodate different sizes, some babies are far smaller or far bigger than the average size. That's why so many parents are buying not just newborn girl clothes but also 0-3 months sizes as well. This gives them some variety and ensures that they have clothes that will fit the baby when it is born.
If some of the clothes are too big right away, the baby can always grow into them. It's best if they only buy newborn clothes sparingly, because those will be the ones that the baby will grow out of the fastest or may not be small enough to fit into at all when she is born. Then the parents will be let with clothes they need to return, sell off or give away.
Parents can also concentrate more on the accessories and no clothing items that the baby will need instead of buying a bunch of clothes. They can fill their baby gift registries with items that fit babies of any size so that there is less money being wasted. That's important to keep in mind when shopping at retailers like newborn girl clothes, when parents are enticed by all the beautiful clothes they see. Sometimes, holding off on those clothing purchases and focusing more on things that the baby can definitely use is the wiser, economical choice.

text: Toni, Mary Campbell, of Kilokoman married first Dan Arch, or Daniel Arch Sinclair. At his death she married Joe McDonald. Her son from first marriage, Daniel married when a young man Flora McKenzie. Their first born, Catherine was my great-grandmother. When she was a babe of one year they left Scotland and immigrated to America, going first to Canada, staying there for supposedly eight years, coming then to Fayetteville, N.C., where Daniel was captain of a steamboat on Cape Fear River. In a few months they returned to Canada, coming back to Marion county, S.C. in approximately 1830, buying a large farm where they lived until their death. Catherine married Andrew Cottingham 17 Nov 1840. Mary Campbell Sinclair McDonald was born in Kilokoman in 1772 and immigrated to America in 1840 and died June 30th, 1859. Daniel Sinclair her son born Kilokoman 24 March 1794, immigrated to America 1820, died 7 June 1855. Flora McKenzie, born Kilokoman 17 Oct 1798, immigrated to America 1820, died Jul 17th, 1858. Catherine was born 18 Feb 1819, immigrated to America in 1820 and died 6 Apr 1884. Andrew Cottingham born Marlboro county S.C. on Cottingham Creek 5 Jan 1818 and died 6 Jan 1903. I received a letter form Karen M. on 30 June 1999 in which she said "I took a few minutes to check my database. I have Daniel and Flora in Marion County, S.C. in 1825 (deed), then 1830, 1840, 1850 (censuses). Daniel died bef 18 Oct 1855 in Marion, S.C. where his estate was probated. Flora died in 1858, also in Marion County, S.C. Their son William K. "of Chickasaw, MS" gave Power of Attorney in estate matters to "A. Cottingham."" She goes on to verify other names that I have in my history. This is the only contact that I have had with Karen M. Well, so you can see that at least one other person has information that verifies my dates etc concerning certain things , but I have no information about Family background in Scotland except what I have given you. I have names of Siblings of Catherine and other relatives, but nothing before Mary Campbell Sinclair. Someone must have had some info in order to put this together for me. Does this help in ;any way? Andy Cottingham (firstname.lastname@example.com) I've checked all my Islay information. Unfortunately, records for Kilchoman Parish don't start until 1821. However, I checked the other 2 parish records going back into the 1700s, and can't find a Daniel Sinclair, either in birth/baptisms, marriages or deaths. Neither can I find the birth of a Catharine to Daniel S. and Flora McKenzie. I've also checked for any Sinclairs marrying a McKenzie, and still cannot come up with any of them. I have a copy of the book"Day Book of Daniel Campbell of Shawfield" which is a great history of the island between 1767, when he acquired most of the island, to 1798. It shows many lists of tenants on the various farms, and although Daniel Sinclair is not listed as one of them, there is a Daniel Sinclair who signed as a witness to a lease in 1769, and another in 1773, as a servant to Shawfield. "Servant" could mean clerk, or other type of employee. The fact that he could sign his name, when most of the tenants only made their marks, might indicate that he was better educated than most. I have a few questions for you: 1. Daniel was born 1794, do you know where? 2. Did he emigrate to South Carolina with his daughter? 3. He died in 1855, do you know where? If your Daniel isn't the one in the book, I don't know if I can help you any further. Although I have hundreds of Sinclair names listed on Islay, none of them are a "Daniel"! Rebecca - do you have any Daniels in the Carolina Sinclairs? Toni S. Andrew J. Cottingham Jr wrote: > Toni, Sorry it took me so long to respond.

Illinois State Police will review the case of a man who died in 2004 after a drunken confrontation involving a nephew of Mayor Richard Daley, a spokesman said Friday.
Master Sgt. Isaiah Vega said state police had agreed to the request from Cook County State's Attorney Anita Alvarez for an independent investigation into the death of David Koschman, 21.
"We will review the evidence that has been collected and decide which investigatory steps are required," Vega said.
In a letter to state police, Alvarez cited "new information" brought to her attention, including witnesses who now say Chicago police inaccurately portrayed their statements about the incident near the Rush Street nightclub area.
