Margaret Adkins Tells Different Tales In Court
Sensational Evidence From Government Witness in Adkins Case

Charleston Gazette
Margaret Adkins Tells Different Tales In Court
Sensational Evidence From Government Witness in Adkins Case
The sensational suit of the United States vs. Fred Adkins and others on trail in the federal court, began its fourth day yesterday, and at the close, all the defendants had testified, the government had offered its rebuttal evidence and Mr. H. D. Rummell, for the government, had offered its rebuttal evidence and Mr. H. D. Rummell, for the government, had concluded his opening address to the jury. This morning Mr. Blackwood will open for the defense. He will be followed by Hon. Lace Marcum, who will close for the defendants, and then Hon. Elliott Northcott will close the case for the government, Judge Keller will change the jury, and at 3 o'clock it is more than probable the jury will have the case for their consideration.
The fourth day of the trail opened with Albert Davis, one of the defendants on the stand. He swore that he was at his own home on the night of the robbery, and flatly denied the sworn testimony of several of the government's witnesses, who claimed that they saw Davis at the Adkins store on the night of July 5th. Davis admitted on cross-examination of Mr. Northcott that he had gotten goods from the culvert on either the 3rd or the 4th of July, but his was before the robbery occurred.
Bob Flemming, the second witness is charged with conspiracy, but in his direct examination, he stated that he knew nothing whatever of the robbery until the day after. To this point he swore positively. He also said that the only time he saw the goods was when employed by Mr. Douglas and Captain Cunningham, and this was who the store was in the hands of the receiver.
William Fleming swore that he saw no one armed the night of the robbery, and that he stayed at the house of Charles Brumfields the very night the store was robbed.
John Flemming, who is a paroled prisoner, and who was sent tot he state prison for killing a man named Mullins, the father of one of the government's important witnesses, testified substantially the same as the witnesses preceding him. The entire witnesses preceding him. The entire list of the defendants swore to very near the same thing.
The government had a star witness in Margaret Adkins. The district attorney sent Capt. Sam Davis, said to be one of the shrewdest deputy marshals in commission, and one of the men who worked up this important case to Harts Centre late Saturday night to bring this woman to Charleston. They had to ride on a freight train in order to reach Charleston in time to be at the court yesterday morning. It will be remembered that Fred Adkins swore that the store was the property of his sister, but several witnesses say that Miss Adkins denied ever having an interest in the place.
In the presence of Mr. Douglas, the receiver, she made the statement that she received this money from Fred Adkins, and there were present also Deputy Marshals Cunningham, Davis, and Major Lyons, together with Mr. Northcott. The district attorney questioned her closely on this point, and she admitted in the presence of all the witnesses that she never received a cent from the defendant, Adkins. She was turned loose until the court convened in the afternoon, but a close watch was kept on her. She was approached by one of the defendants, and when she gave he testimony in the afternoon, she gave directly opposite testimony as to what she gave Mr. Northcott in the morning. It was only necessary for the government to place on the stand the officers who heard the answers to Mr. Northcott's questions to contradict her evidence. This was one of the sensational features of the day's proceedings.

It is everywhere, the captivating "GoldieBlox, Rube Goldberg, & Beastie Boys "Princess Machine" showing the little girls conquering the engineering world. Should it be?
My engineering father would be thrilled to see girls encouraged to create. I think he was always a bit disappointed that not only did none of his three sons go into engineering, none of his three daughters did either. We were all encouraged to build and create at will. He would be proud that not only his daughters, but granddaughters and great-granddaughters are all as capable as their male counterparts.
But that is not the issue here. Encouraging girls is great, but the issue is copyright infringement. And the issue isn't just copyright infringement, but the filing of a lawsuit to defend use of someone else's material before they have made any public statements about the use of their copyrighted material.
GoldieBlox's creator Debbie Sterling stated she filed the lawsuit to deflect threats of copyright infringement before the Beastie Boy's could go public about the use of their song "Girls" in the video. She states that the song is a parody and therefore allowed under the "Fair Use" provision of the copyright law.
"GoldieBlox created its parody video specifically to comment on the Beastie Boys song, and to further the company's goal to break down gender stereotypes and to encourage young girls to engage in activities that challenge their intellect, particularly in the fields of science, technology, engineering and math."
Not to sell their toys?
The Beastie Boys on the other hand had privately communicated with the company asking about the use of their song. They let Ms. Sterling know that they do not now and never have allowed use of their works in commercials. In an open letter on 25 Nov, the Beastie Boys stated that they…….
"strongly support empowering young girls" . They go on to say that GoldieBlox's "video is an advertisement that is designed to sell a product, and long ago, we made a conscious decision not to permit our music and/or name to be used in product ads." They add that….. "When we tried to simply ask how and why our song "Girls" had been used in your ad without our permission, YOU sued US."
So the question goes back to is this a parody acceptable under "Fair Use" or a copyright infringement? Cast your vote here.
While I usually try not to take sides, I find the filing of a lawsuit by the infringing side a push to the side of the copyright holder. I'd hate for the world to lose this very fun video though, so I thought a fitting end might be that the company would have to remove all information identifying their company, AND post online a "How To" for those looking to reenact the great engineering feats shown in the video, again without any company identifying information. That would be "empowering girls."

South Carolina is nearly a thousand miles from Boston.
But we, too, were shaken by the events of April 15, 2013. Two homemade bombs exploded in the midst of the Boston Marathon, killing three spectators, shattering the lives of dozens of others, and casting a pall of sadness over one of America's proud traditions.
A few weeks ago, in the pleasant early morning hours of April 5, I couldn't help but think about the Boston bombings as I stood at the crest of the Cooper River Bridge in Charleston watching 40,000 runners pass. This was the 37th annual Cooper River Bridge Run, and as with other large races across the country, the Boston attack had prompted law enforcement to increase security for the runners and spectators. I was there with 130 members of the S.C. State Guard, of which I serve as commanding general, to help provide enhanced security.
All my troops were unpaid volunteers, compensated and motivated by the gratitude of the community.

We were stationed at the starting gates and at intervals along the 6.2-mile race route, and we were assembled in the vicinity of the finish line to create "safe zones" in case runners or spectators had to be diverted if a threat emerged. In addition to bolstering safety, one of our goals was to make sure the event went smoothly and that the heightened security wouldn't hamper anyone's enjoyment. In speaking with participants, it became clear to me that they didn't mind the increased security, and they understood why greater precautions were necessary.
It was obvious that the Boston bombings loomed heavily over many who attended.
The Boston Marathon is held each year on Patriot's Day, a commemoration of the first two battles of the Revolutionary War – the battles of Lexington and Concord.
In a way, it's fitting that the worst terrorist attack in the United States since 9/11 occurred on Patriot's Day. Times of national tragedy ultimately bring out the best in Americans. While last year's Boston Marathon was marked by feelings of anguish and fear, in the aftermath we took comfort in the heroic response of police officers and emergency workers, in the courage of ordinary people who rushed to the aid of complete strangers, and in the tremendous outpouring of compassion and generosity from across the country.
But more than that, the bombings rekindled our patriotic spirit in a way we haven't seen since 9/11.
America's got its problems. And we'll always be, in many ways, a divided nation. But since our earliest days, our hallmark as Americans has been our strong spirit and toughness in the face of adversity. That's our inner character. And during our toughest challenges, our inner character always comes to the forefront.
Such times of trial remind us that our various differences pale in comparison to the common bond we share as Americans. They make us closer and stronger.
A year after the Boston Marathon bombings, let's also remember the genuine unity and patriotism we displayed as a nation when evil outsiders drove us together. That terrible tragedy offers yet another lesson in the character of America.
Richard Eckstrom, a CPA, is the commanding general of the S.C. State Guard.

I really like the combination of glitters over the orange. It's copper, orange and hot orange hex glitters with random yellow square glitter and iridescent square glitters. I wore this when it was cooler out, but it definitely brought a summer vibe to my nails!

Animal Planet recently put up an article about how to treat Parvo at home. Fortunately, people jumped on it and the extremely dangerous advice it contained. I thought the comments on the topic were interesting, since our breed is one that is more prone to parvo than others:

Good, that is so irresponsible!

Reviewed by Nick D. (age 12)
I really liked this book because it was action packed, and the idea of having a underworld under New York City is pretty cool. I thought this book was unique from other ghost stories, because the ghosts were allowed to go to the surface at night.
My favorite part was when they were getting chased for the final time. I liked it because they were floating over New York, then sailing on water, and the underworld guards were chasing them.
I thought Jack was the person that changed the most, he grew from soft to hard and didn't let anything stop him.
I recommend this book for ages 10-13.

- 1 green bell pepper
- 1 red bell pepper
- 1 orange bell pepper
- 1 yellow bell pepper
- 1 onion
- 1-2 Tblsp. olive oil
- 1 garlic clove minced
- 7-9 pound cups cooked chicken shredded (3-4bag of chicken breasts)
- 1 heaping Tblsp. chili powder
- 3 cups chicken broth divided
- 1 - 24 oz. jar of picante sauce
- 1 cup brown long grain rice
- 3 cups shredded Colby/Monterey jack cheese
- 20 flour tortillas
- cheese sour cream, picante sauce, olives, green onions....etc. for garnish
- In a medium saucepan, bring rice and 2-3/4 cup of broth to a boil.
- Reduce heat and simmer for 20 minutes.
- Stir in 1/2-3/4 of picante sauce, cover, reduce heat to medium low, and cook 5-15 minutes.
- Stir every few minutes or so (watch though, because as the sauce cooks into the rice, the rice can burn to the bottom, especially if you have the burner too hot).
- When the rice is tender, you can turn the heat off.
- Chop bell peppers and onion. Saute in olive oil until tender.
- Stir in chicken, chili pepper, 1/4 cup of broth and remaining picante sauce.
- Heat through.
- When rice is tender, add to chicken mixture (may have to transfer the entire mixture to a large bowl to mix).
- Add cheese. Some people like to only add 2 cups, but I like to add all 3 cups!
- Spoon about a cup of filling in the center of each tortilla and roll up.
- I also add a little bit of cheese to the center of each tortilla before rolling up.
- Arrange tortillas on un-greased 9 x 13's.
- Cover and bake at 350 for 10-15 minutes or until heated through.
- Garnish with picante, cheese, sour cream, black olives, lettuce, tomatoes, what's your favorite!
- Freeze individually, or store unbaked in refrigerator and microwave as hungry guests have need!
Terri's Notes
- This has got to be the best "back to school/feed hungry crowds" recipe I've ever found!
- Go ahead and add black or red beans to the mix. Rinse, drain, add just before you fill them.
- Or spread the tortillas with refried beans before you fill them. Makes the mix go that much further, just don't forget to buy extra tortillas!

Our History
Photo by Amanda DesRoberts.
   How Silvery Moon Creamery came to be: Silvery Moon Creamery at Smiling Hill Farm was founded by Jennifer Betancourt, along with the Knight family in June of 2003. Jennifer was blessed with the opportunity to learn the art of cheesemaking at the Squire Tarbox Inn on Westport Island, and developed her passion in her kitchen in Portland. Jennifer brought alchemy of cheese making to Smiling Hill Farm, and invented several award winning cheeses during her time here.
In  2011, we welcomed our new cheesemakers Genevieve Johnson and Dorothee Grimm to the farm. Dorothee came to us by way of Germany through Montana, where she had spent her time wrangling sheep and microbes. Dorothee remains the head cheesemaker. Genevieve meanwhile has continued on another path, but she left her imprint on our cheeses and especially cheese names.
Our newest cheesemaker is Greer Walder. Greer joined us from Terrell Creek Farm in Missouri.
About The Farm
   The farm has been in the Knight family since the 1700's. Even though this 500 acre farm (200 acres of pasture, and the rest in woodland) is just minutes away from the Maine Mall and the Portland Jetport, the farm has maintained its lush rolling hills in the face of development. No pesticides or chemical fertilizers are used on the property. The farm is well known locally for its glass bottled milk, fresh churned butter, and home made ice cream. The milk for these dairy products comes from cows not treated with artificial growth hormones or fed antibiotic supplements. The farm is also home to a small sawmill and lumber yard, Hillside Lumber.
And, unbeknownst to many – Colonel Thomas Westbrook (1675-1743), after whom the town Westbrook, Maine is named, has been resting here in peace for over a quarter millenium. One of the Colonel's siblings, Mary, married Nathan Knight, whose legacy is carried on in Smiling Hill Farm.

Also, I have a vague suspicion that creating a thread calling out Hunter Broadhead for his vices and posting the thread in the two 240sx groups on Facebook may bring some traffic to the site. Just maybe.
So in an attempt to try and get something moving, Andretti has the space and also host social events. If we put out a "240Atl Car Club" meeting, acquire an Club event slot, then we can have a 240ATL meeting with some motorsports fun. It gives the opportunity for people to meet each other, keeps the kids from dong burnouts in the parking lot, and will begin building the 240ATL name. If I were home then I would attend and try to get all of the Mods plus FLIP together to discuss a way ahead and the possibility of a club aspect with dues. We could also discuss the possibility of club events that would be paid with club dues. I can only do so much from Afghanistan but would love to help in any way I can. If nothing happens between now and the time I get home then once I do get home, I will try and arrange this myself. I hate to see the site and the scene dyeing. We can also go as far as making club apparel thus putting 240ATL out to possible new users.
If we were to put a club together then we would need a Club Pres, Club Treasurer, and Club Event Organizer at the least. Do this the democratic way and take a vote with every member who is up-to -date on club dues.

Thoughts on "One Born Every Minute"
You can't Google about natural birth the last couple of weeks without coming up against half a dozen posts or articles critiquing the new show on Lifetime, One Born Every Minute. One of the most vocal was Gina, The Feminist Breeder, who wrote "Lifetime Shows Us There's One (Unnecessary Intervention) Born Every Minute." Gina says,
"So I couldn't help myself. I took notes the entire way through this train wreck and yelled at the television every 60 seconds. Here is what I saw, and here (in blue block quotes) is what I yelled at my TV."
Kristen, from Birthing Beautiful Ideas (a blog I've never seen before… how have I missed this?) writes in her post Dear Lifetime: It's not Weird, it's Normal,
"… I worry about pregnant women and their partners watching "One Born Every Minute." And it's not because I think the show is going to make them want to run out and ask for every birth intervention in the world as if they're candy. Rather, I worry that the show will create or even reinforce in women's minds a pretty bogus distinction between "What's Normal and What's FREAKY-DEAKY-WEIRD-AND-ABNORMAL During Labor."
I'd considered not watching the series, but since I've recently hung up my homebirth midwife hat and picked up my full-time monitrice-doula hat, I thought, "What the heck… how different could it be from what I already know to be true in hospitals?"
Last Tuesday night, I watched both the first segment, "To Medicate or Not," (the one that had the natural birth couple in it) and the second installment, "Expect the Unexpected"; Sarah left the room. (You can see the full segments in those links.)
It turns out I was right; the shows weren't all that different from my own personal hospital experiences… as a doula or as a midwife who's transferred/transported women to them.
I didn't sit screaming at the TV. I didn't get high blood pressure from enormous amounts of frustration. Sure, I rolled my eyes a few times (some things said and done were absurd… more below), but, hard as it is to say, I stand behind the "You Buy the Hospital Ticket, You Go for the Hospital Ride" belief I've had for years. I don't know if 28 years in hospitals has numbed me (I don't believe it has at all) or if my idealistic belief that I Can Change The System has been flushed down the toilet, but I have pretty much given up any hope of seeing massive institutional changes in that area of the birth world.
When I first started, I thought things were so awful –the induction rate, the cesarean rate, etc.- that they couldn't possibly get any worse. And look! Not only has it gotten worse, it's gotten horribly worse. I've come to the realization that, until we have a 100% scheduled cesarean rate, it can always get worse. Of course I pray for a miraculous change in The System, but I'm just not going to hold my breath anymore.
So the TV show. I tried to watch it from two viewpoints… one, from a mom who knows nothing about birth and two, from a sociological point of view. Marrying the two, I definitely winced thinking of the messages being conveyed throughout the episodes.
The first was how Blessed (gloriously, exaltedly Blessed) an epidural is. I would swear someone (or many someones) in the epidural industry is paying for product placement in shows like this. I almost sat and counted the number of times "epidural" was said, but decided it was pointless; we all know how many times an epidural is brought up in labor already. And giant pet peeve of mine: "Her epidural," "My epidural." Ugh. How did this procedure acquire possessives? Counter that with a cesarean. Rarely do I hear women say, "My cesarean." It's usually I had a cesarean." Are women claiming ownership to the epidural because they can remain more "civilized"… more themselves? Versus a cesarean that very nearly transforms the woman's perception of herself or, at least, her body? A great topic for someone who studies these things.
Women on the show were so passive. Their bodies doing things they had no knowledge of until someone (or some machine) told them something was happening. "Oh! I'm complete?" I know this is a duh kind of obvious to those of us who know natural/normal birth, but the message is ghastly to those that don't know any better. It was so funny (not haha), the woman who was on the birth ball, in the shower… she looked so out of place! The same way a woman in a homebirth who did nothing but lie on her back in bed would. Isn't that just sad?
It's true, the show capitalized on the friction between Nurse Pam and the natural birth mama, but even in the second installment when there was no natural birth juxtaposition, we could see who the nurses smiled with, who they joked with and who they were the kindest toward: the women who didn't cause any extra work for them. If a woman needed her belts adjusted because she moved or even if she had "annoying" family members, you could almost hear the heavy sighs as they had to go out of their way to do the task or speak to the family member. Never mind these things are part of their job; if they took an extra two seconds, it seemed an extreme bother.
This is one of the main things I feel I can offer my clients (slight segue), that I work well with hospital staff, helping wherever I can, helping the nurses not have to do things like moving the belts or changing chux or whatever. I've spent many a-labor holding the monitor on a swaying, moving mom. This delights the nurse who really doesn't care if mom's mobile and rocking, as long as the baby can be seen. I think this was where the natural birth mom's doula could have helped a lot, by holding the belt on the laboring woman's belly when she was on hands and knees. If the woman is anywhere near the monitor… on the ball, standing, rocking, etc… why not have her on the monitor so you can get her off without any issue when you want to later? Making the nurse happy AS the woman gets her needs (wishes) met creates a much more pleasant atmosphere and the client has better post-birth memories.
I had a transfer not so long ago and one nurse was initially guarded with me, but warmed up quickly. During the labor and birth, I was encouraged to take a more active physical and even clinical role than I know would have happened if I'd have been Guard Midwife. The birth became a wonderful, empowering moment for my client… her wishes honored and honored respectfully and happily… not just because she was compliant (she refused more than one recommendation), but because everyone was clearly listening to and hearing each other. As I was leaving, the nurse thanked me for all my help and told me it was refreshing to see a homebirth midwife not be combative, that most of the other ones she'd seen have been "bitches." (Her word, not mine.) I left vowing to repeat this positive experience, that I would work hard not to have my midwife-monitrice-doula interactions be contentious and, somehow, find a way to also help others have a more harmonic hospital birth experience without sacrificing autonomy and self-respect.
I would be remiss if I didn't mention two incredibly huge gaffes and one smaller one that one of the nurses made. First, when a baby's heart rate was going down and mom was worried, Nurse Linda, a tiny, older nurse (second segment) told her the baby was just getting used to her lower blood pressure… that she'd had high blood pressure and now it's normal, so the baby has to adjust. I can only assume this was right after an epidural was placed (can't tell from watching), but what a stupid way to explain what was happening. The baby's "getting used to a normal blood pressure?" Geez.
The second thing this same nurse said that nearly had me falling out of my chair in disbelief was when a mom was pushing, had been pushing for what seemed to be about two hours at that point, and as the tiny nurse was showing a family member how the head came down and receded with each push –while the baby was still inside - she casually says, "Oh, that's turtling." Uh, no it isn't. Turtling is when the head is born and then is pulled back up, mooshing back against the perineum. Said more clinically:
"Once the shoulders impact at the pelvis inlet, the fetal head which has already left the pelvis, often recoils tightly against the maternal perineum. This is termed the 'Turtle sign'…"

The woman did, later, have a shoulder dystocia, but the turtling had not happened yet. I wonder what the other nurses –and the tiny nurse's supervisor- had to say about her clinically incorrect remarks.
The third was when a mom was on hands and knees and her sister made a snickery comment about her being "doggie style" and Nurse Linda pipes up, "We prefer to call that knee-chest." Excuse me? No "we" don't; we call it hands and knees.
I acknowledge I'm not like a lot of Natural Birth Advocates (NBAs) who refuse to watch these types of shows. Besides watching as an informal continuing education, they are what many pregnant women watch and I like to be able to answer questions regarding what they've seen on them. Bloggers and commenters have begged for a realistic (not reality!) show about homebirth, but honestly? I don't think it's dramatic enough to show. And don't we like it that way?

Move of the Week | 11th-18th January 2011
Mic Check
This time's Move of the Week isn't necessarily based on the move pulled off, more about the moment it was executed. At Genesis 2011 last Sunday, Mr. Anderson faced Jeff Hardy, a wrestler who had turned from fan favourite to super heel over the last few months. Hardy had several run-ins with Anderson before this match, with Anderson making clear that he wanted Jeff's TNA World Heavyweight belt. At Genesis, Anderson managed to achieve his goal in a show-stopping contest. As the closing moments came, Anderson disposed of Matt Hardy until he turned round right into a Twist of Hate attempt by Jeff. However, Anderson had the opposition scouted and slammed him with an Inverted STO, a move he dubs the 'Mic Check.' It was quite a surprise that Anderson managed to get the win, but a very nice surprise because Anderson is finally on a platform where he belongs.
Other Contenders:
Dolph Ziggler's ZigZag into the Steel Steps– The feud between Edge and Dolph Ziggler is hotting up. This week, Dolph left the champion laid out following a ZigZag which planted Edge head first off the steel steps.
Rey Mysterio's Asai Moonsault– Mysterio is someone who appears on this list almost every week. This week, he hit a great Asai Moonsault onto Alberto Del Rio and Cody Rhodes during a tag team bout.
Randy Orton's RKO– Alex Riley has fallen victim to the RKO several times, and this week was no different. During a tag team bout, Orton utilised the move which gave his team the victory.

Michael of Romania
145 years since King Carol I proclaimed himself as "king of Romanians," King Michael has informed that beginning Tuesday he breaks all connection with the Royal House of Hohenzollern. In this way, he respects the 1921 decision of his ancestor, King Ferdinand I to give a national character to the Romanian Royal House, according to the Royalty press release on Tuesday.
TIME Magazine Cover – 1 Aug 1927
Following the recent decision, the Royal House will no longer be called The House of Hohenzollern-Sigmaringen, but the Royal House of Romania. The members of the Royal Family will also give up all their titles given by the heads of the Hohenzollern royal family.
"In accordance with our grandfather's wishes , the Royal Family will be entitled Of Romania, and beginning with May 10 they will no longer be entitled with the additional Hohenzollern-Sigmaringen House name"
The House of Hohenzollern is one of the most important dynasties in Europe. The Hohenzollern-Sigmaringen is a wing of the Hohenzollern dynasty. Kings Carol I (1881-1914), Ferdinand I of Romania (1912-1921), Mihai I (Michael) of Romania (1927-1930 and 1940-1947) and Carol II of Romania (1930- 1940)

Back to the future
It would be nice if the "back to the article" link took me back to page of the article where I cast my vote instead of the first page only.
In recent weeks, reghardware has run a series of top 10s - rounds up of "essential" or "best" apps and peripherals. And very popular they have proved too, especially this one: Ten free apps to install on every new PC. This prompted 187 comments, with readers in their dozens suggesting dozens more apps - and slating us for …
fwiw, I can assure you we spend a substantial amount of time thinking about our readers/users/commentards and making stuff better for them. The balance is always what is the most valuable use of the time/resources.
Obviously we *can* add voting to already published stories. We opted not to here.
The issue here was simply that we wanted subtle differences when compiling a list of the best stuff (Android apps) than we wanted when having a more free-form discussion.
The former wanted a url for the thing being rated, which made no sense for a regular discussion. The icons ("Where's the Paris Hilton angle?") also didn't seem approriate when building the list of top ten iphone games, etc. although I grant you that this could be debated. Possibly at length ;)
Then there is the list of suggestions/posts. Mixing (new) suggestions in between (older) discussion about stuff seemed like it might be more confusing than helpful.
And so we concluded: either it's a list of user suggestions to rate, or it's a discussion. And articles already published with discussion attached remain as that.
It's not perfect and we are curious how you'd like to see it work.
I think you misinterpreted the question. I suspect he was asking the same question as I was when I saw it.
Surely the "boring" reasons aren't boring to people who already go out of their way to understand these things? Not to say that you should add them to old articles, but that we want to to know why - curiosity etc etc.
We demand to know what the boring reasons are!
Jolly good show, what? etc. etc.
No, seriously, might be both amusing and shockingly useful. I actually just bought my first android device recently, and the comments on the top ten androids apps "article" were more useful than the piece itself. I'm barticularly grateful for the suggestion of Juicedefender, which is a really handy thing.
Other than all the swearing, arguing and lunacy, some gems could result. Might even help fix the fact that lately, the Reg has been more and more like reading the Daily Mail. Well done, peeps.
Make sure the top N is an actual top of something. Just picking ten you like then calling it a top list isn't: For that it needs to be a much longer list of which you can actually skim the top N. I'd expect at very minimum 2*N, but only as minimum. That would also make the votes much more meaningful.
RH thank you.
Always a pleasure to be informed of what's going on.
It's been obvious to see recent changes to the site of late (most of which positive).
Publishers from my experience make changes without even consulting the people who matter most - the readers. These changes are usually made to fulfill the needs of ad people. So bravo!!
Keep up the good work and importantly keep us involved.
We'll have a think about this: but it reminds me that I should switch on "rate this article" for reghardware stories. We'll do that when we get some coding time free.
[For historic reasons, rate this article was applied for UK readers only and then only in some sections. And not in reghardware at all.]
Why UK readers only? Are you saying the rest of us don't count? <stir!><stir!>
This at least, explains, why I saw it when reading via a UK-based proxy and then not using my (French) connection. To think I spent half an hour reading stuff I wasn't interested in looking for "rate this article" links.
I'll tell you one tihng, I'd vote down every Orlowski article that doesn't also have comments. Surely I'm not the only person who finds comments add greatly to the article?
I am a bit hazy on details, as I was living in the US at the time of their introduction. But article raters began life as an experiment to test UK reader engagement .. whatever that means.
The experiment ended and raters remained - as they were. In the UK only.
I can't speak for The Reg, not about this anyway. But we will introduce article raters on reghardware for readers worldwide. When we get round to it.
Lastly, Andrew O's decision to switch off comments for some of his article is understandable to me - and to publishers and journalists everywhere - and anyone who has had to moderate the 1000 or so comments posted each working day here.
Interesting article here about Gawker's tough love with its commenters
What about it, guys? A class system here?
While I hate to mention the Daily Fail, but they have their green and red arrows system and clicking one of them adds to a vote without taking you away from the page you're on. Is there any way El Reg could include this? It's a bit of a pain going back and forth all the time, particularly since it doesn't take you back to the part of the page you had previously scrolled to.
..it is the iPhone games and Android app articles that you have implemented this on when it was the apps for new PCs one that prompted all the replies?
Anyway nice idea, but please please please do fix the voting for both this and forum posts so that it does not take you to a new page.
Also (I said before but will say again) having (sometimes, very) delayed posting of forum/comment posts - due to moderation - AND 'report this post' buttons is a bit overkill do you not think?
IT? icon - because using the way voting and the 'forums' work on El Reg does feel a bit last century.. ('Required' titles on Forum posts etc)
I am baffled. They are two different, standalone articles! Different people will vote on different things.
If you have an iPhone and have a game to recommend it then do so.
If you don't have an Android phone, or have never owned an Android phone, you are not in a position to make a recommendation on that article.

San Bernardino County and two of its cities abandoned a plan that would use eminent domain to seize troubled mortgages and write down debt for homeowners.
The decision strikes a blow to an idea that garnered national attention as a potential -- if unconventional and controversial -- solution to the mortgage crisis.
The proposal was unanimously shot down in a vote by members of the Joint Powers Authority that the county and the cities, Ontario and Fontana, formed last year to explore the idea. Greg Devereaux, county chief executive and chair of the authority's five-member board, said it gave up on the eminent domain plan because of its lack of public support.
Devereaux also echoed criticisms by the mortgage industry and Wall Street groups, who have argued such a plan would spark lawsuits, higher interest rates and a tightened market for borrowers.

Kavery Kaul, an award-winning documentary filmmaker and adjunct professor in The City College of New York's media and communication arts department, has been awarded a 2012-2013 Fulbright Fellowship for research abroad.
Ms. Kaul, who was born in Kolkata (formerly Calcutta) and moved to the United States at age five, will return to her city of birth in January 2013 as a Fulbright Fellow to research, write and begin production of her latest project, "Streetcar to Kolkata."
"Streetcar to Kolkata" is a documentary that follows the African-American writer Fatima Shaik as she retraces her Indian grandfather's 19th century journey from a small village near Kolkata to New Orleans. A Bengali Muslim and one of the first East Indian immigrants in America when he landed in 1893, he married into an African-American Christian family from which Ms. Shaik is descended.
"Fatima's reverse journey makes this a compelling and timely story of two cultures, two religions and two cities worlds apart," said Ms. Kaul, who will spend five months in Kolkata.
The Manhattan resident, who has taught film at CCNY since 2007, is grateful for the Fulbright Fellowship and the opportunity it's given her to practice her craft in her homeland. Recipients of Fulbright awards are selected on the basis of academic or professional achievement to conduct work in over 155 countries worldwide.
"It is such a privilege to be able to spend a length of time there, developing the project from the ground up. It's what a filmmaker dreams of," she said, adding: "I'm thrilled and honored. It's an amazing award that supports creativity as well as international understanding and that's more relevant now than ever before."
While in India, Ms. Kaul will be affiliated with the Satyajit Ray Film & Television Institute. Named after the famous Indian director , the institute is a national center that produces film and television professionals, whose creative and innovative work contributes to the growth and development of cinema in India.
Scheduled for release in 2014, "Streetcar to Kolkata" is Ms. Kaul's seventh production in a career that to date has seen her receive two National Endowment for the Arts awards, multiple New York State Council on the Arts grants and a New York Foundation for the Arts Fellowship in Film.
Notable among her previous films is "First Look," winner of the Best Cultural Film Award at the Festival of New Latin American Cinema. It was narrated by Harry Belafonte and was filmed in Cuba and the United States.
Ms. Kaul holds a BA degree in English literature from Harvard University. Upon graduation, she decided to purse filmmaking, a passion kindled as a child after watching the African classic "Sambizanga," about the Angolan liberation struggle.
About the Fulbright Scholar Program
Established in 1946 under legislation introduced by the late Sen. J. William Fulbright of Arkansas, the program's purpose is to build mutual understanding between the people of the United States and other countries. Fulbright Scholars are selected on the basis of academic or professional achievement and demonstrated leadership potential in their fields.

Frequently Asked Questions
Endocrinologists are specialists who treat conditions of the hormones and glands. You will see an endocrinologist if you need treatment for complications of diabetes or if you need help managing your disease.
The endocrine system is a complex system of hormone-producing glands. They control many parts of our daily lives, such as how we digest food, how we grow, and how we develop sexually. These hormone levels are carefully balanced, and an imbalance can lead to endocrine problems affecting the entire body.
Our specialists in endocrinology treat all conditions of the hormone system. These include thyroid conditions, which can cause fatigue, weight gain and dry hair and nails. Other conditions may cause nervousness, sweating and difficulty concentrating.

Chrome Reward Program Rules
The Chrome Vulnerability Reward Program was launched in January 2010 to help reward the contributions of security researchers who invest their time and effort in helping us to make Chrome and Chrome OS more secure. Through this program we provide monetary awards and public recognition for vulnerabilities responsibly disclosed to the Chrome project.
Scope of program
Any security bug in Chrome or Chrome OS may be considered. It's that simple!*
* well, it's almost that simple. Two key points:
- We are interested in bugs that make it to our Stable, Beta and Dev channels. We discourage vulnerability hunting on canary or trunk builds, because they don't undergo release testing and can exhibit short-lived regressions that are typically identified and fixed very quickly.
- We'd also love to learn about bugs in third-party components that we ship or use (e.g. PDFium, Adobe Flash, Linux kernel). Bugs may be eligible even if they are part of the base operating system and can manifest through Chrome.
Qualifying vulnerabilities
We will typically focus on critical, high and medium impact bugs, but any clever vulnerability at any severity might get a reward.
There are three rules to keep in mind:
- Only the first report of a given issue that we were previously unaware of is eligible. In the event of a duplicate submission, the earliest filed bug report in the bug tracker is considered the first report.
- Bugs disclosed publicly or to a third-party for purposes other than fixing the bug will typically not qualify for a reward. We encourage responsible disclosure, and believe responsible disclosure is a two-way street; it's our duty to fix serious bugs within a reasonable time frame.
- If you have a fuzzer running as part of our Chrome Fuzzer Program, you will not receive a reward if one of our fuzzers finds the same bug within 48 hours.
Reward amounts
Rewards for qualifying bugs typically range from $500 to $100,000.
We have a standing $100,000 reward for participants that can compromise a Chromebook or Chromebox with device persistence in guest mode (i.e. guest to guest persistence with interim reboot, delivered via a web page).
The following table outlines the usual rewards chosen for the most common classes of bugs:
High-quality report with
functional exploit [1]
|High-quality report [2]
|Baseline [3]
|Low-quality report [4]
|Sandbox Escape [5]
|$2,000 - $5,000
|Renderer Remote Code Execution
|$1,000 - $3,000
|Universal XSS (local bypass or equivalent)
|Information Leak
|$0 - $1000
|Download Protection bypass [6]
|$0 - $500
|New Feature Special Rewards
|See below
[1] A high-quality report with a reliable exploit that demonstrates that the bug
reported can be easily, actively and reliably used against our users.
[2] A report that includes a minimized test case and the versions of Chrome affected by
the bug. You will also demonstrate that exploitation of this vulnerability is very likely
(e.g. good control of EIP or another CPU register). Your report should be brief and well
written with only necessary detail and commentary.
[3] A minimized test case or output from a fuzzer that highlights a security bug is
present without establishing that the issue is exploitable.
[4] A report submitted with only a crash dump, without a Proof of Concept (PoC) or with
a poor quality PoC (e.g. a 1MB fuzz file dump with no attempt at reduction) that is later
verified to be a legitimate issue.
[5] Escaping any layer of the sandbox (including the NaCl sandbox) will be considered as
a sandbox escape.
[6] Landing a blacklisted test binary (malware example, UwS example) on disk where a typical
user could execute it, on Mac or Windows. The file type on disk must lead to non-sandboxed
code execution after minimal user interaction with the file. See the FAQ below for more
The amounts listed are for good quality reports that don't require complex or
unlikely user interaction. Less convincing or more constrained bug submissions will
likely qualify for reduced reward amounts, as chosen at the discretion of the reward
Rewards apply to Chrome on Win 7+, MacOSX v10.9+, Linux, Android 4.4+, iOS 7+ and to
current versions of Chrome OS. We are also interested in bugs that affect Chrome on
Windows XP and Vista, which may qualify for a reduced reward amount.
On top of these rewards, we offer either $500 or $1,337 if a well-written patch is
provided with the report. The amount for this reward is determined by the panel based
on the quality and the effort required to write a good patch for the bug. Significant
patches can also be submitted under our Patch Reward
The final amount is always chosen at the discretion of the reward panel. In particular, we may decide to pay higher rewards for unusually clever or severe vulnerabilities; decide that a single report actually constitutes multiple bugs; or that multiple reports are so closely related that they only warrant a single reward.
We understand that some of you are not interested in money. We offer the option to donate your reward to an established charity. If you do so, we will double your donation - subject to our discretion. Any rewards that are unclaimed after 12 months will be donated to a charity of our choosing.
Investigating and reporting bugs
All bugs should be reported via this form. Note that your submission is over HTTPS and does not require additional encryption. Bugs that are found in Google's server-side services should be reported under the Google Vulnerability Rewards Program instead.
When investigating a vulnerability, please, only ever target your own computers. Never attempt to access anyone else's data and do not engage in any activity that would be disruptive or damaging to your fellow users or to Google.
Note that we are only able to answer to technical vulnerability reports. Non-security bugs and queries about problems with your account should be instead directed to Google Help Centers.
Chrome New Feature Special Rewards
From time to time, we may offer increased reward amounts for bugs in newly released or soon to be released features. They will be time limited, after which bugs submitted will be considered at the usual rates above.
Site Isolation special rewards
Site Isolation ensures that each site (combination of scheme and eTLD+1) runs in its own OS process, and provides mitigation of speculative side channel attacks. It is enabled by default on Chrome 67 and above on desktop platforms.
In scope:
- Bugs that cause two or more cross-site documents from the web to commit in the same process. i.e. force pre-Site Isolation behaviour.
- Bugs that cause cross-site CORB-eligible responses not to be blocked. This includes HTML, XML, and JSON responses that have nosniff headers, assuming sites operators have taken the necessary steps.)
Out of scope / known issues:
- Attacks that assume a compromised renderer. Site Isolation's threat model excludes such attacks at present. (Future development of Site Isolation will provide defense against such attacks.)
- Known issue whereby hosted apps share processes with each other.
- Note that a small percentage of users may be opted out of Site Isolation to provide a
control group. Researchers should ensure the feature is enabled by using the
--site-per-processcommand line flag.
Duration: Bugs reported via this form between July 11th 2018 and January 11th 2019 will be considered for Site Isolation special rewards.
Reward amounts:
|High-quality report with proof of concept/exploit [1]
|Baseline [2]
|Site Isolation Special Reward
|$5,000 - $8,000
|$500 - $3,000
[1] A high-quality report with an exploit that demonstrates that the bug is in
[2] Other in-scope reports, e.g. if exploitation is heavily mitigated or
Chrome Fuzzer Program
The Chrome Fuzzer Program allows you to run fuzzers on Google hardware at Google scale across thousands of cores. You receive 100% of the reward value for any bugs found by your fuzzer plus a bonus $500, provided the same bug was not found by one of our fuzzers within 48 hours. There are two ways to participate:
LibFuzzer allows fuzz testing of individual components in the Chrome browser, and are just as easy to write as unit tests. Any Chromium contributor can submit libFuzzer tests to the Chromium codebase, which will be picked up and run at scale by our fuzzing automation system, ClusterFuzz.
Fuzzers can also be written to use ClusterFuzz directly. This allows fuzzers to be written in a wide range of languages and to take advantage of ClusterFuzz's more advanced options. Previously this was only available to members of the Trusted Researcher Program but is now open to all.
Before being submitted, fuzzers using either method must:
- Test features shipping in production code that are susceptible to malicious user input.
- Have found at least one vulnerability in local testing and reported in Chromium tracker.
To submit a fuzzer, please provide us with a few details.
All fuzzers run at Google's discretion.
Frequently asked questions
Q: How can I maximize the potential reward for my report?
A: Our lowest reward for eligible bugs is $500. If the rewards panel finds the bug particularly severe, the value can be higher than what is listed above in the table. To date, we've given out several instances of rewards $30,000 and higher. To improve your chances, please adhere to the guidelines provided in Reporting Security Bugs.
Q: How do I find out if my bug is eligible?
A: You will see a provisional comment to that effect in the bug entry once we have triaged the bug or the "reward-topanel" label on your bug.
Q: What happens if I disclose the bug publicly before you had a chance to fix it?
A: Please read our stance on coordinated disclosure. In essence, our pledge to you is to respond promptly and fix bugs in a sensible timeframe - and in exchange, we ask for a reasonable advance notice. Reports that go against this principle will usually not qualify, but we will evaluate them on a case-by-case basis.
Q: I wish to report an issue through a vulnerability broker / someone not you. Will my report still qualify for a reward?
A: We believe that it is against the spirit of the program to privately disclose the flaw to third parties for purposes other than actually fixing the bug. Consequently, such reports will typically not qualify.
Q: What if somebody else also found the same bug?
A: Only the first report of a given issue that we were previously unaware of is eligible. In the event of a duplicate submission, the earliest filed bug report in the bug tracker is considered the first report.
Q: What about bugs present in Google Chrome but not the Chromium open source project?
A: Bugs in either build may be eligible. In addition, bugs in plug-ins that are shipped with Google Chrome by default (e.g. PDFium, Adobe Flash) are usually eligible. Bugs in third-party plug-ins and extensions are ineligible.
Q: Do I still qualify if I disclose the problem publicly once fixed?
A: Yes, absolutely. We encourage open collaboration. We will also make sure to credit you in the relevant Google Chrome release notes and the rewards Hall of Fame.
Q: What about bugs in channels other than Stable?
A: We are interested in bugs in the Stable, Beta and Dev channels because it's best for everyone to find and fix bugs before they are released to the Stable channel. However, we discourage testing against canary or trunk builds, because they don't undergo release testing and can exhibit short-lived regressions that are typically identified and fixed very quickly.
Q: What about bugs in third-party components?
A: These bugs are often eligible (e.g. libxml, image libraries, compression libraries, etc). As long as they can manifest through or affect Chrome, bugs may be eligible even if they are caused by components of the operating system or standard libraries. We're interested in rewarding any information that enables us to better protect our users. In the event of bugs in an external component, we are happy to take care of responsibly notifying other affected parties.
Q: Can you keep my identity confidential from the rest of the world?
A: Yes. If selected as the recipient of a reward, and you accept, we will need your contact details in order to pay you. However, at your discretion and if you ask us before the bug is made public, we can credit the bug to "anonymous" and remove identifying information from the bug entry.
Q: Can I submit my report(s) now and provide a working exploit later? Is there a time limit for submitting an exploit?
A: Most definitely! We encourage this approach as it allows us to work on fixing the bugs as soon as possible. It also minimizes the chance that someone else reports the same issue while you're working up an exploit. Although we don't have a set time limit, we would expect that the exploit would follow within a few weeks of the initial report. Exploits submitted outside of this time frame are unlikely to be rewarded. In case of multiple bugs being involved, they all should be reproducible on a single revision.
Q: What is the Trusted Researcher program? Can you run my fuzzer for me?
A: The Trusted Researcher program is now part of the Chrome Fuzzer Program.
The easiest way to get an invite into this program is to submit quality bugs that are found with one of your fuzzers. If we like what we see, we'll reach out with the details!
Q: Are bugs found by my Chrome Fuzzer Program fuzzer eligible for New Feature Special Reward amounts?
A: Only if the fuzzer specifically targets the new feature and was submitted to us during the New Feature Special Reward time period and finds in-scope bugs, as defined above. Otherwise bugs will be considered at the usual reward levels.
Q: Why are these rewards significantly less than the old Pwnium?
A: The prizes at Pwnium were large (up to $150,000) because Pwnium has significant restrictions as a competition. Former Pwniums required a physical presence at the competition location, a successful demonstration of your exploit on a future version of Chrome and the delivery of a full-chain exploit via a webpage - all while doing this on one of our latest Chromebooks in a short time window in March!
Even if you had a bug that met all of these criteria, you still ran the risk of Google fixing the bug before Pwnium or someone else reporting the issue to us if you chose to wait for the competition. As we build a more secure browser, we believe that Pwnium-style bug-chains will be significantly harder to come by, as evidenced by the handful of people who entered that competition.
Q: What about full-chain exploits on platforms other than Chrome OS?
A: We are interested in full-chain exploits against Chrome running on other platforms. For example and referring to the table above, a high-quality full-chain exploit that escapes the sandbox on non-Chrome OS platforms would likely receive at least $22,500 ($15,000 for the sandbox escape portion, $7,500 for the code execution in the renderer). In addition, any other bugs in the operating system that can manifest through Chrome are highly likely to be rewarded as well.
Q: Can I have more details about the Download Protection bypass rewards?
A: Sure! Here are all of the qualifying rules you need to consider:
- Safe Browsing must be enabled on Chrome and have an up-to-date database (this may take up to a few hours after a new Chrome install).
- Safe Browsing servers must be reachable on the network.
- Binary must land in a location a user is likely to execute it (e.g. Downloads folder).
- The user can't be asked to change the file extension or recover it from the blocked download list.
- Any gestures required must be likely and reasonable for most users. As a guide, execution with more than three reasonable user gestures (eg: click to download, open .zip, launch .exe) is unlikely to qualify, but it'll be judged on a case-by-case basis. The user can't be expected to bypass warnings.
- The download should not send a Download Protection Ping back to Safe Browsing. Download Protection Pings can be measured by checking increments to counters at chrome://histograms/SBClientDownload.CheckDownloadStats. If a counter increments, a check was successfully sent (with exception to counter #7, which counts checks that were not sent).
- The binary's hosting domain and any signature can not be on a whitelist. You can measure this by checking chrome://histograms/SBClientDownload.SignedOrWhitelistedDownload does not increment.
- The extension of the binary file must be one of those that Chrome already tracks. This list can be found here: download_file_types.asciipb
Q: Will Google reward for bugs that are not specifically listed in the table above?
A: Yes - we're interested in rewarding any information that enables us to better protect our users. All of our reward amounts are based on the quality of the report and the security impact of the bug.
Q: The black market / my friend Ned pays more for my bugs! Do these comparatively low reward levels encourage the sale of bugs to people in trenchcoats and dark sunglasses?
A: We understand that there are dark corners of the Internet that may pay you more money to purchase any vulnerabilities that you find or exploits that you develop. These people buy vulnerabilities and exploits for offensive purposes to target other users on the Internet. We believe that the reward you are getting comes with strings attached - including buying your silence and accepting that any bug you sell may be used to target other people without their knowledge. We understand that our cash reward amounts can be less than these alternatives, but we offer you public acknowledgement of your skills and how awesome you are, a quick fix and an opportunity to openly blog/talk/present on your amazing work (while still offering you a very healthy financial reward for your work!). Also, you'll *never* have to be concerned that your bugs were used by shady people for unknown purposes.
Legal points
We are unable to issue rewards to individuals who are on sanctions lists, or who are in countries (e.g. Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Sudan and Syria) on sanctions lists. You are responsible for any tax implications depending on your country of residency and citizenship. There may be additional restrictions on your ability to enter depending upon your local law.
This is not a competition, but rather an experimental and discretionary rewards program. You should understand that we can cancel the program at any time and the decision as to whether or not to pay a reward has to be entirely at our discretion.

This article will explain how to install Arch Linux inside a virtual machine (e.g. in VMware Workstation on Windows or VMware Fusion on Mac OS X).
If using systemd, see: Installing Arch Linux in VMware (systemd).
You may also be interested in installing VMware in Arch.
VMware Tools
The VMware Tools improve networking capability, cut and paste between the host and the guest under X, or access of the directories on host from the guest (called shared folders by VMware). They also provide a set of tools to access advanced options of the Virtual Machine, including shrinking and freeing unnecessary space in the virtual hard drives
Install the
open-vm-tools package from [community]:
pacman -S open-vm-tools
and start
VMware tools with:
rc.d start open-vm-tools
To start them automatically at boot, add the daemon to the DAEMONS array in rc.conf.
DAEMONS=( ... open-vm-tools ... )
To start the
vmware toolbox (allows you to configure time synchronization, connect or disconnect devices, shrink the hard disk freeing unnecessary space, etc), run the following command:
# vmware-toolbox
ERROR: could not insert 'vmhgfs': Invalid argumentIn this case, the solution is to build the
open-vm-tools-modules package with ABS against the currently installed kernel. This is discussed here.
Installing X
The necessary Xorg packages can be installed with:
# pacman -S xorg-server xf86-input-vmmouse xf86-video-vmware svga-dri
and the fallback X driver:
# pacman -S xf86-video-vesa
Add de vmwgfx module to the MODULES array in rc.conf.
# MODULES = (... vmwgfx ...)
Please notice: the virtual machine should have at least 32MB VGA memory !
Enable Unity
Unity is installed by default, but needs a bit of work to get it running.
First, make sure that
open-vm-tools is installed and loaded on startup. If needed, add
open-vm-tools to the DAEMONS list.
Log out and restart. Unity will work. Unfortunately at the moment, menus may not display properly, so launch a terminal, switch to Unity and use the terminal to launch whatever you want. If you get an error like:
error while loading shared libraries: libgtkmm-2.4.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
pacman -S gtkmm
Create a new Shared Folder by selecting
Settings... from the VMware Workstation menu. Select the
Options tab and then
Shared Folder. Check the
Always enabled option and create a new share. For Windows XP you can create a share with the Name
C and the Host Path
Then add a line like the following to your
/etc/fstab file (changing uid/gid as needed) for each shared folder:
.host:/shared_folder /mnt/shared vmhgfs defaults,user,ttl=5,uid=root,gid=root,fmask=0133,dmask=0022 0 0
Make the mount directories and mount the Shared Folders:
mkdir /mnt/shared mount /mnt/shared
Final touch
Prune mlocate DB
It is useless to add the shared directories to the
locate DB. Add the shared directories to
PRUNEPATHS in
Paravirtualization (PV) is a virtualization feature\technique that allows some of the processing, which in an ideal virtualized environment happens inside the virtualization to be done outside of the virtualized context. This will, in most cases, greatly improve the base line performance of a virtual machine. Although in some cases, depending on many variables, it will not.
With the to-date distributions of Arch, PV works out of the box.
On newer x86 and x86-64 CPU models (Both AMD and Intel) PV is implemented as a hardware feature and no additional configuration is required. For older CPU models, You must enable the deprecated VMI protocol that introduces modifications to the guest kernel that makes it aware of the fact that it is virtualized. (Microsoft refers to this as an Enlightened Guest OS)
VMI Retired
VMWare PV was once implemented as the VMI (Virtual Machine Interface) standard.
In 2009, VMware announced they would stop supporting VMI in 2011. The Linux kernel should remove the VMI code around version 2.6.37. VMI still remains useful since it allows for PV on older CPUs and Arch Linux is well built for a Linux VM Guest on hosts with low resources. VMI offers a tremendous impact on the VM performance under these circumstances.
In updated vmware products (Workstation 7+ and ESX 4+) VMI is retired. The functionality that was implemented in VMI and not covered by the improvements in modern CPUs is now implemented by the newer VMCI standard. Again, on to-date Arch Linux and open-vm-tools installations, VMCI works OOB and should not pose any problems. If you do encounter issues then the Vmware Community forums will offer all the aid you need.
On Vmware Workstation products VMCI is enabled by default. On Vmware ESX products VMCI is disabled by default on the basis that it COULD pose a security risk. You can enable or disable VMCI through the VM settings screen. VMCI provides extra features, as well as a generic platform, for the area of Guest-To-Host communication.
VMI Installation
You must install the
open-vm-tools before enabling
To enable
VMI click on
Settings... from the VM menu. Select the
Processors device and enable
VMWare kernel paravirtualization.
Once Arch is up and running you can check if you have
VMI enabled or not by running the following command:
$ dmesg | grep vmi
If VMI is enabled you should see an output such as:
Booting paravirtualized kernel on vmi [deprecated] vmi: registering clock event vmi-timer. mult=9202214 shift=22 vmi: registering clock event vmi-timer. mult=9202214 shift=22 vmi: registering clock source khz=2193979 Switching to clocksource vmi-timer
VMCI Installation
To verify that
VMCI is up and running, run the following command:
$ dmesg | grep vmci
VMCI is enabled you should see an output such as:
Probing for vmci/PCI. vmci 0000:00:07.7: PCI INT A -> GSI (level, low) -> IRQ 16 Found vmci/PCI at 0x1080, irq 16. Registered vmci device.
If there is a problem with networking, it is possible that the module
pcnet32 steals the network interface from VMware, disabling it works:
MODULES=(!pcnet32 ...)
Keyboard/Mouse not working in X
If you have no keyboard or mouse in X make sure you don't have the following line in the
ServerFlags section of your Xorg configuration. Consult Xorg#InputClasses for further assistance:
Remove Option "AutoAddDevices" "False"

Bridge City ISD truck spotted at Toledo Bend boat ramp
A photo sent into The Examiner by a concerned citizen brought up some questions for the administration of the Bridge City Independent School District. Why was a BCISD Silverado pickup truck with a boat trailer attached parked at the Willow Oaks boat ramp on Toledo Bend on March 14?
BCISD superintendent Mike King said his office received the same photo with a note reading, "Is this the way our tax money is spent?"
King has an explanation. The truck is used by BCISD director of maintenance and operations John Scales. King said Scales drives the truck while working but is also allowed to take the vehicle home. Any personal miles used are to be logged and Scales pays 55 cents per mile.
"He is on call 24-7," King said of the employee. "And if he uses it personally – that was Spring Break that week – he documents miles and is charged accordingly and pays accordingly. It has been going on for two or three years. He is on call and is charged for personal miles."
King provided mileage statements completed by Scales for 2013. Although lacking in detail, the statements show Scales claimed mileage for the Toledo Bend trip in the amount of 244 miles total for the excursion. He also turned in a $50 gas receipt for the trip that King said would offset the cost of total mileage due.
King does not see a problem with the practice of allowing Scales to take the truck home. BCISD is reimbursed and the employee is taxed accordingly, he said.
"I wish people would just pick up the phone and call me when they see something like this," King said. "It's almost like they are trying to stir something up that isn't an issue. … In this case, he does pay for the use of this vehicle."
While King said he hopes his answer will satisfy the anonymous citizen, the photo sends a message to those entrusted with tax dollars: "Beware! Taxpayers are watching."

STERLING — The Logan County Commissioners gave approval for an industrial hemp research and development processing facility during a business meeting Tuesday.
Jerry Bornhoft submitted an application for the building and operation of the research and development processing facility, as well as a two-acre greenhouse, for commercial use, to be located at 18091 County Road 35.
During the meeting, Rob Quint, of the Planning and Zoning Department, noted the Planning Commission recommended approval of the project at their Aug. 19 meeting. As part of their recommendation, the board gave conditions that there must be continued compliance with the Colorado Industrial Hemp Act and in the event the facility converts to expanded production the special use permit will need to be amended.
Jason Lauve, of Broomfield, who was key in drafting Colorado's Industrial Hemp Bill in 2013 and the Phytoremediation Bill in 2012, spoke about the project.
"The hemp project to me is really important, because it's going to start to give us the ability to demonstrate that we can utilize industrial hemp for specific purposes such as building, textile purposes, adhesives," he said.
According to Lauve, this will be the first hemp greenhouse in Colorado. Over 100 applications have been submitted to the Department of Agriculture for various research and development and commercial sites. Sterling's facility would be the state's second largest facility; the largest operation is in Springfield.
They anticipate employing between 15 and 25 people at the facility, depending on what stage of the process they're in.
"We have a unique opportunity. Part of the reason that we have interest in doing this in Logan (County), Sterling area is the fact that we truly believe that we have an opportunity to impact economics at a pretty local scale," Lauve told the commissioners.
He went on to call hemp an "innovation that could put American farms back into high productivity and provide a lot of materials, we can start manufacturing car parts with, a number of other opportunities here in the United States."
The Logan County facility will be used to study existing cultivars, as well as try to breed a Colorado heritage seed.
"The ultimate goal of the project is to really create a seed stock and product that are both commercially viable, that are really under that .3 percent THC level and in an ideal world we'd be down to zero percent THC, that's where we want to end up," said Mark Spoone, of Castle Rock, one of Bornhoft's partners.
"We're looking for a seed stock that will create essentially three key things: food, fiber and fuel," he explained, adding that the project will also "allow us the ability to develop technologies and processes for growing stuff, understand how we lower those THC levels, how we can increase the other components."
The facility will use a process known as decortication, "that's the process of taking raw hemp from the field, bailing it up, it goes into the cutter, the decorticator separates the fiber, the dirt and the bark and then the dust, if you will," Lauve said.
He spoke about the difference between hemp and medical or recreational marijuana, noting the two are like cousins, because they are essentially the same plant, but because of the growing process, "it's essentially akin to having an apple that you might be able to eat, versus a bitter apple that would be uneatable."
Commissioner Rocky Samber asked about the protocol for making sure there aren't plants with THC levels that are very high. Lauve said the state will test part of their field, plus they will have private testing done to monitor THC levels and he said the operation will be transparent about what is found in those tests.
"That's one of my personal objectives in everything that I've been doing with industrial hemp is an open records, open resource for data. We need to learn as much as we can and we need to be as transparent as possible," he said.
Samber asked what the protocol is if the plants that are raised have higher levels of THC. Those with .3 to 1 percent levels can't be sold, but they can be used for research and anything with above one percent has to be destroyed.
"I think the key to all of this is to keep everybody in the loop. It's a new project, it's a new plant for not only the state, but the country," Lauve said.
Commissioner Dave Donaldson asked where their initial seed source is coming from and if that's in compliance with federal restrictions. The seeds will come from existing cultivars in Colorado and other states, as well as seeds that Nolan Kane, an assistant professor at University of Colorado — Boulder who is leading a Cannabis Research Genomics Initiative, has access to from other countries.
"We're doing everything we can to stay in federal compliance, to stay within state compliance. We're doing everything we can to provide full disclosure, full transparency to both the state and federal level," Spoone added, noting Kane does have legal access to the international seeds he's getting, so he is in compliance.
Tom McClain, from Broomfield, whose great-grandfather planted hemp, stressed the "incredible importance I think Sterling plays in helping re-establish hemp as an agricultural product in this region of the United States," adding that he believes hemp will provide the ability to "improve our soil, reduce our water dependence."
"You guys have the opportunity to help demonstrate to Nebraska, Kansas, Wyoming, Oklahoma, Texas, the viability of this product," he said.
In other business, the commissioners approved an intergovernmental agreement between the Logan County Clerk and Recorder and Logan County, which provides for a coordinated election to be held on Nov. 4, concerning a proposal to increase the county sales and use tax to provide funding for a cemetery district. The actual verbiage of the ballot question will be decided at a later date.
Also, due to the Planning and Zoning Department not receiving all the necessary signatures, the commissioners postponed definitely until Sept. 2 the approval of a resolution and application on behalf of Max and Ruby Yvonne Gafford to create a two-lot minor subdivision in part of Lot 4 in Section 7, T6N, R53W of the 6th P.M., north of the Farmer's Pawnee Canal.

In recent years, vision system architects have been challenged when trying to maintain reasonable system throughput in the face of ever increasing sensor resolutions and image sizes. Sensor manufacturers have been selling sensors with more than 10 megapixels (MP) for a few years now, and a 50MP sensor is already offered by Kodak, the KAF-50100. A MP is 1 million pixels. On top of that, many vision applications now require color imaging or multi-spectral imaging, which further increases the data load with multiple channels per pixel. These trends cause a serious increase in the computational load for vision systems. On the other hand, CPU capabilities are advancing as well, but mainly in the form of additional processing cores as traditional CPU designers have reached a CPU speed barrier. To harness the power of many cores and allow the software to scale well on many cores, software architects need to write parallel code. However, when a relatively large data load is concerned, such as in the case of modern vision systems, simply writing parallel code does not always guarantee scaling or efficient harnessing of multiple cores since the major bottleneck resides elsewhere.
The Memory Access Bottleneck
To understand the bottleneck encountered by modern vision systems, let's examine four basic facts:
- Modern vision applications need to handle image sizes of 10MB and above. Again, cutting-edge vision systems needs to handle ever increasing data loads due to high-resolution sensors, color images, and multi-spectral images.
- CPU cache sizes are limited compared to average vision system image sizes. As an example, Intel's Core i7 contains "only" 8MB of L3 cache (which is shared across all cores) -- a huge cache size by current standards, but still not big enough to contain a single full frame when considering modern vision applications data load.
- Main memory access is approximately 100 times slower compared to cache access. CPU cache was invented for an important reason: memory access is a very slow operation compared to a CPU operation. This means that an application pays a heavy performance toll for having frequent cache faults.
- Typical vision algorithms are structured as successive operations on images where the output of the last operation becomes the input for the next operation.
Let's combine these facts: Vision applications usually perform successive operations on images (fact 4), which are usually bigger than the cache (fact 1), and so cannot fit entirely within the CPU cache (fact 2). This causes a substantial amount of cache faults for each operation performed on an image, and happens every time an operator is applied on the image. Now, since cache faults are so expensive (fact 3), a substantial amount of the processing time is actually spent on accessing main memory which substantially degrades the application performance in terms of throughput. It is also worth mentioning that using multiple core does not help in this kind of bottleneck -- actually it might make things worse: if we try to parallelize the computation we might cause a dangerous situation where many cores are competing for cache space (which is limited and scarce in this case) and the amount of cache faults increases even more.
Deferred Mode Optimization
How can vision application architects overcome this bottleneck and allow their applications to scale better? Since reducing the image size is out of the question (algorithm accuracy will be degraded), as well as creating CPUs with huge caches (they will be way too expensive), the only way out is changing the structure of the algorithm so that the cache is used in a more efficient way and the amount of cache faults is minimized. In other words, the algorithm's cache spatial locality must be improved.
Examining the typical vision algorithm structure (fact 4) reveals that most vision algorithms are structured as successive operations on images, where the output of the last operation is the input for the next. The cache misses are caused simply because the images are very big, usually much bigger than the cache size. Moreover many typical operators require additional output image and/or an additional temp image buffer for various calculations -- all of which should fit in the cache.
An interesting optimization technique is to divide the original image into fragments so that for each fragment, the entire data load can fit nicely into the cache, and then apply the whole algorithm pipeline on each fragment sequentially, thus minimizing cache faults. The whole pipeline will be applied on all fragments sequentially, and finally all fragments will be combined to produce the result. This approach incurs cache faults since the fragments must be loaded to the cache initially, but still is much more cache friendly compared to the straightforward approach and so will reduce the cache faults significantly and improve performance. This optimization technique is called "Deferred Mode".

National Museum of the Royal Navy at Portsmouth Historic Dockyard
The National Museum of the Royal Navy, in Portsmouth's Historic Dockyard, is one of Britain's oldest maritime museums. The Museum's mission is to preserve and present the history of the 'Fleet' - the ships and the men and women who manned them. The National Museum of the Royal Navy is one of the world's leading maritime museums. Dates, images and artefacts tell us about events. The real drama is in the experiences of the men and women who were there. The funeral barge that brought Nelson's body up the Thames after Trafalgar reminds visitors that he was human. So were the men who served under him in the harsh days of sail – and the slaves in the trade the Royal Navy helped to abolish. Explorers can hear their stories and enter their world where the past is closer than they think.

What is Home Health Care? Home health care is a wide range of health care services that can be given in your home for an illness or injury. Home health care is usually less expensive, more convenient, and just as effective as care you get in a hospital or Skilled Nursing Facility (SNF). Home health aide services must be part of the care for your illness or injury. Medicare doesn't cover home health aide services unless you're also getting skilled care like nursing care or other physical therapy, occupational therapy, or speech-language pathology services from the home health agency.

Ancestry.com has begun posting some of the USA non-population census images from the late 1800s. The only state they've done so far that interests me is Kansas, but that was enough to keep me busy for the whole afternoon!
A search for 'HEGWER' in the agriculture schedule database brought up three names: 2 in 1870 and 1 in 1880. The 1870 names were great-great-grandmother Maria Hegwer and her son, Ernest, in adjacent entries on the first of 2 pages for Diamond Creek, Chase, Kansas:
Now, you ask how that kept me busy for the afternoon? Well, the rest of the 2 Diamond Creek pages also had 8 other Hegwer or Hegwer-in-laws, including my great-grandfather Charles:
Charles' farm entry is adjacent to the entry for his brother-in-law Kasimer J. FINK, who had married Medora Hegwer. Charles and 2 other brothers had been wrongly transcribed in the index. So, I spent the afternoon entering alternative names into ancestry.com's database for this census schedule. I also added annotations for all the in-laws, giving their relationships & spouses. Altogether, I annotated 12 of the 48 names on these 2 pages: a great afternoon's work, I think!
The first 4 columns after the names are number of improved acres, woodland acres, other unimproved acres, and cash value of the land. Maria still had a total of 160 acres and Charles had 80. Subsequent columns show livestock and crops. Great-great-grandmother Maria died just 3 years after this census, and Charles had left Chase County by 1876.
ConclusionsThis info gives me interesting details of their lives at this time, but nothing earth-shatteringly new. I'm not going to play around in 1880 or the other categories in this new database for fear of spending too much more time here! Maybe later?!
It does remind me that I should look at the Chase County land records and see if I can find the origin of Charles' land and the circumstances of his selling it. I know where he is in 1880, but I'm hoping to someday find something to explain how he meets Margaret Lavina Richardson of Morgan County, Missouri.
