VirtualBox for many Puppies
Subject description: virtual machine dot-pets
Latest 4-series release:
Latest 3-series release:
My Packages:
Guide, by VirtualBox release version
Alternate VirtualBox Packages:
shinobar's VirtualBox 4.2.2 SFS module
My packages are mainly dot-pets, but there is a combined SFS4 module available for several 32-bit Puppy releases as well. (Most Precise, Slacko, and Lucid releases are supported, as well as Puppy 431 and the most recent releases of Quirky, Wary and Racy.)
I've made VirtualBox packages (several versions) for and tested on the following Puppy versions: Lucid Puppy 5-series, Wary and Racy 530, Quirky 142, Slacko 531 & 533 (including PAE versions), Slacko 540, Precise Puppy 540-543, the Puppy 4-series, Puppy 301, FATDOG-64 521 and 601, and LighthousePup 514-B4. Other Puppy versions may also have current or older VBox packages available or new ones may be prepared upon request (it doesn't hurt to ask, anyway
). I do ask that you please check the HTML guide linked above for your Puppy version before you make a new request, though.
Packages for puplets and additional Puppies may be requested, but no guarantees that I'll get to them.
There is also a package that should work for any kernel, provided you have loaded or installed the devx and kernel source modules for your Puppy.
In a later post below, Geoffrey says that the Lucid Puppy package works on Quirky 1.20 NOP.
The extension pack is installed through "File -> Preferences -> Extensions".
VBox 3-series to 4-series note:
The interface for VBox's VM management has a few new features, and there is a "Preview" function which shows the current VM as it runs. While it's a neat thing to see, it also eats up memory like nobody's business, so you might want to consider turning that off or making its display update less frequently via a right-click.
Generally, this version just uses more memory, too. You may get a warning dialogue that claims the host memory is too low with nothing more than your old settings, but if you dismiss it, wait a minute and then resume from the menu it usually works just fine.
I can only test so many versions of Puppy, but it may well be that the packages I've already made will work on other versions of Puppy just fine. If they do, let me know which combination of Puppy and package worked, and I'll update my information, and maybe my package names, too.
Vers. 4.1.8 Update Notes:
Audio remains an issue for Lucid Puppies, but all others seem fine.
Vers. 4.1.6 Update Notes:
Audio still an issue in Lucid Puppies, but back in good shape for Slacko! More packages coming soon!
Vers. 4.1.2 Update Notes:
Audio in some of the Lucid Puppies (as host) is still an issue. The PulseAudio/OSS workaround is functional again in Lucid-528, though. I've tried to get the balloon-ctrl service to start alongside the normal vboxdrv- it seems that feature is supposed to let you change the amount of RAM assigned to a VM while it's still running. I haven't tried it, so let me know what happens if you do!
Vers. 4.0.6 Update Notes:
Audio on Lucid 525 doesn't work at all, even with the PulseAudio or OSS workaround for previous 4-series VBox packages. (The workaround still works for Lucid Puppies 510 through 520.) Because of that, I've left up the Lucid package for 4.0.4 if anyone needs audio, and as always the fully-functional 3.2.8 packages remain available.
Vers. 4.0.4 Update Notes:
I've finally got around to working in shinobar's script revision, in the process greatly simplifying most of my dot-pets' pinstall.sh scripts. (Making SFS modules out of these pets should be easier now, too, as a result.) The audio issue with Lucid Puppies 510-520 is still present. Finally, the simpler install scripts are working for me in Puplite 4.0 and in Puplite 5.0.

Post subject: SFS for all Puppies 4.3.1 / 5.x
Thanks, TheAsterisk!
for Puppy 4.3.1 and most of Puppies 5.x including Lucid, Precise Puppy, Slacko and more.
Available from
It has pre-build kernel modules for Puppy-4.3.1, Lucid, Precise-5.7.1, and Slacko-5.7.
For other kernels, you need devx and kernel source packages to build the kernel modules.
Type '
' on a terminal after loaded the virtualbox-xxx.sfs.
Note that this SFS does not support 64bit Puppies.
The extension package is already applied.
You can change 'Default Machine Folder' to /mnt/home/VirtualBox or somewhere.
The setting is at VirtualBox menubar, File>>Preferences>>General.
If you have ever installed another or older virtualbox PET/SFS and trying new, remove old ones and delete '/lib/modules/*/misc/vbox*.ko', /opt/VirtualBox, if they are exists, before loading the new.

Not too surprising, since Lucid 511 and 520 apparently use the same kernel, but the 511 package works in 520 more or less exactly the same way it does in 511. I'll update the package name in a little bit to a more generic "-lucid5xx" or something.
Using the drivers from vers. 3.2.8 to get sound working doesn't seem help anymore, either, and it was never a very good idea in the first place, so I'm removing that whole directory from my uploaded files. If you still want the old drivers or the work-around text for some reason, the whole 3.2.8 dot-pet is still available and you can PM for the rest.
I just noticed your SFS for 4.0.0 is in the Lucid repository, shinobar!

Post subject: VirtualBox 4.0.4 for Wary-500/511
Updated the SFS for Wary,
Including modules for both kernel for Wary-5.0/5.1x.
I compiled the VirtualBox 4.0.0 against Wary-500, exactly speaking Wary-500j03.
The sfs is available
08-Jan-2011 13:28 63.7M
Tested on Wary-500j03 but also may work on Wary-500.
1. The initial 'Default Machine Folder' is set to '/mnt/home/VirtualBox'. You can change the location by the preferences under the 'file' menu bar.
2. The sfs contains '/usr/share/mime' contents.
But the .vbox files do not show its MIME, 'application/x-virtualbox-vbox'.
The command 'update-mime-database /usr/share/mime' seems corrupt the MIME of Wary.
(update-mime-database is in wary_devx_500.sfs)

Hi...and THanks! I have wanted Vbox on puppy for a long time. However I cannot get the application to open after installing on either 431 stock or 431 NOP. Running from terminal says i need libSDL. Running a dependency check shows many missing. Is there anyplace I can get libs since puppylinux.ca is no longer online? Thanks again.

You can use one of the two following links to a dot-pet:
They're from the official Puppy 4 repository.
Let me know if there are any problems. Good luck!

Thanks! I had been to ibiblio looking for it, but I was looking under the letter L thinking the package would be named lib.....
Thanks again. I'll see if I can get it to work now.

@TLM: I just checked my deps.txt file (there's a link in the first post) for Puppy 431 quickly, and you'll also need libGLU if you didn't already install it.
I used to just use this package:
If you want, though, libGLU by itself seems to do, and it's a whole lot smaller.

Thanks again. I installed the SDL and now Vbox is running good on NOP 431. I did not install GLU, so I assume it is already present. Again, the Vbox is working great, but I can run a dependency check and see.

Version 4.0.2 seems to be out. It's a maintenance release. The changelog is
, if anyone is interested.
The *.run installer worked just fine, and I've already made a Lucid 5 series package for myself, so other Puppy versions shouldn't be hard.
Does anyone want me to package up more for 4.0.2 and upload them, or should I wait for a later release and let things take a more sedate pace?

Is there a chance you may have a FATDOG version of this PET? I would be interested in your package.

If FATDOG is the 64-bit puplet (my memory can be spotty at times), then I'm afraid I don't have a package for it. All the computers I have access to are 32-bit machines circa 2003-2005, so there's no easy way to run Fatdog or compile the drivers for VBox properly.
Considering how well the 32-bit installer Oracle distributes worked for me, though, you might be able to install straight from their 64-bit installer, too, assuming you can install the kernel source and a devx module. If that works, and if you want to package it and need help for any part of that process, then I'd be more than glad to help. Hosting, too, if you need it.

Thanks in advance.
A yes, then?
I've packaged and uploaded the files since my post above, but I probably won't make a new post this time. I'll just edit my original here, but I'll leave the version 4.0.0 packages available.

@Geoffrey: Hey, thanks for the info!
If I remember correctly, though, there were some difference between the Lucid Puppy kernel and the Quirky kernel, so unless I somehow find out they're really the same, I won't update the package names.
I'll make a note referring to your post in the OP, though. Might be helpful.
I was thinking of making a few packages for Quirky and Wary later tonight or tomorrow anyway. We'll see how that goes!

Quarterly Enforcement Reports, Quarter 3, Fiscal Year 2008
April 1, 2008 through June 30, 2008
- Tables 1 - 8 (PDF Only)
- Tables 9 - 11 (PDF Only)
- Tables 12 - 19 (PDF Only)
The Food Safety and Inspection Service's (FSIS) Quarterly Enforcement Report provides a summary of the enforcement actions FSIS has taken to ensure that products that reach consumers are safe, wholesome, and properly labeled. Although this report focuses on enforcement actions taken, it is important to recognize that this is only one aspect of the Agency's mission to protect public health through food safety and food defense by achieving compliance with laws and regulations.
This report is a snapshot in time of a dynamic process. For example, matters shown as under appeal may be resolved by the time this report is published. Other actions could be appealed or closed after this reporting period. This information is updated on a quarterly basis and made available to the public in future reports.
The report is presented in sections that correspond with the category of enforcement action. Activities reported within the categories are either pending actions noted in earlier reports or new enforcement actions occurring during the reporting period. Each section of this report is described and reported in more detail as follows:
FSIS inspection program personnel perform thousands of inspection procedures each day in federally inspected establishments to determine whether or not inspected plants are in compliance with regulatory requirements. Each time inspection program personnel make a non-compliance determination they complete a Noncompliance Record (NR). A NR is a written report that documents noncompliance with FSIS regulations. A NR notifies the establishment of the noncompliance and that it should take action to remedy the situation and prevent its recurrence. Noncompliance reported on NRs varies from non-food safety issues to serious breakdowns in food safety controls. When noncompliance occurs repeatedly, or when a plant fails to prevent adulterated product from being produced or shipped, FSIS takes action to control products and may take enforcement action under the FSIS Rules of Practice (9 CFR Part 500), such as to suspend inspection. Table 1 provides the number of verifications performed and non-compliances issued by inspection program personnel, and the national compliance rate by quarter for the current fiscal year. Table 2 provides the number of appeals filed by plants and the status of the appeals.
[Top of page]
FSIS conducts port-of-entry reinspections of imported meat, poultry, and egg products. This activity is a reinspection of products that have already been inspected and passed by an equivalent foreign inspection system. Thus, imported product reinspection is a monitoring activity for verifying on an on-going basis the equivalence of a foreign country's inspection system.
Port-of-entry reinspection is directed by the Automated Import Information System (AIIS), a centralized computer database that generates reinspection assignments and stores results. After clearing the Department of Homeland Security, Customs and Border Protection (DHS-CBP), and the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS), every imported meat, poultry, or egg product shipment must be presented to FSIS for routine inspection. When a meat or poultry shipment is presented for reinspection, the AIIS verifies that the product is from an eligible country and certified establishment. Shipments are refused entry if the foreign country, or the foreign establishment that produced the product, is not eligible to export to the United States.
All presented imported product shipments have a routine inspection conducted for general condition, labeling, proper certification, and accurate count. In addition, the AIIS assigns other types of reinspections (TOI) to a statistical portion of the presented products. These reinspections could include a physical examination of the product for visible defects, collection of samples for microbiological analysis, sampling for food chemistry analyses, and samples to be analyzed for drug and chemical residues. Shipments are randomly selected for reinspection using a statistical sampling plan that allocates samples by HACCP process categories. The level of sampling is based on the volume imported from the country within each category. Products that pass reinspection are considered accepted entry into the United States (US Inspected and Passed). Products that fail reinspection are rejected and must be re-exported, converted to non-human food, or destroyed. Product rejections cause the AIIS to automatically generate an increased rate of reinspection for future shipments of like product from the same establishment. Table 3a and Table 3b present meat and poultry inspection figures for the reporting period. Table 3c and Table 3d present egg product inspection figures.
[Top of page]
FSIS takes product control actions to gain physical control over products when there is reason to believe that they are adulterated, misbranded, or otherwise in violation of the FMIA, PPIA, or EPIA. These actions are designed to ensure that those products do not enter commerce or, if they are already in commerce, that they do not reach consumers.
Retentions and Condemnations
In official establishments, FSIS inspection program personnel may retain products that are adulterated or mislabeled when there are insanitary conditions, for inhumane slaughter or handling, when conditions preclude FSIS from determining that the product is not adulterated or misbranded, or for other reasons authorized by the statutes. FSIS inspection program personnel condemn animals for disease, contamination, or other reasons to prevent their use as human food. Table 4 provides figures for condemnations of livestock and poultry for the reporting period.
FSIS Investigators, Enforcement, Investigation and Analysis Officers (EIAOs), import officers, and other designated FSIS inspection program personnel will detain products that may be adulterated, misbranded, or otherwise in violation of the law when found in commerce. Most detentions result in voluntary action by the product owner or custodian, such as voluntary disposal of the product. If detained product cannot be disposed of within 20 days, then FSIS may request, through OGC and the U.S. Attorney, that a U.S. District Court enter an order to seize the product as provided for in the FMIA, PPIA, and EPIA. Tables 5a , 5b, and 5c provide the number of detentions and the pounds of product involved in these actions for meat, poultry, and egg products for this quarterly reporting period. Table 5a provides information on detentions made by the Compliance and Investigations Division (CID), Office of Program Evaluation, Enforcement and Review. Table 5b provides the detention information for the Office of International Affairs. Table 5c provides the detention information for the Office of Field Operations.

FSIS Food Recalls
A food recall is a voluntary action by a manufacturer or distributor to protect the public from products that may cause health problems or possible death. A recall is intended to remove food products from commerce when there is reason to believe the products may be adulterated, misbranded, or otherwise in violation of the FMIA, PPIA, or EPIA. Recalls are initiated by the manufacturer or distributor of the meat, poultry, or egg products, sometimes at the request of FSIS. All recalls are voluntary. However, if a company refuses to recall its products, then FSIS has the legal authority to detain and seize those products in commerce.
FSIS classifies food recalls as follows:
- Class I - A Class I recall involves a health hazard situation in which there is a reasonable probability that eating the food will cause health problems or death.
- Class II - A Class II recall involves a potential health hazard situation in which there is a remote probability of adverse health consequences from eating the food.
- Class III - A Class III recall involves a situation in which eating the food will not cause adverse health consequences.
Additional information on FSIS food recalls, the recall process, and current food recalls can be found on the FSIS recalls web page at: http://www.fsis.usda.gov/Fsis_Recalls/index.asp.
Firms that recall products are expected to provide notification to their consignees concerning the recalled product and request that customers review inventory records and segregate, hold, or destroy product. Firms that have already shipped or sold recalled product are to retrieve and control the product, prevent further distribution, and contact their consignees and have them retrieve and control product that is part of a recall. FSIS program personnel conduct "effectiveness checks" to ensure that the recalling firm and firms that received or distributed product subject to a recall take effective action to notify all consignees of the recalled product that there is a need to control and remove the recalled product from commerce.
In situations where FSIS determines that a federally inspected establishment or a firm operating in commerce has not taken responsibility to remove or control adulterated, misbranded, or other unsafe product in commerce or to advise its consignees of product that is subject to recall, it may issue prohibited activity warning notices to the firm. FSIS issues prohibited activity notices for the following:
- Failure of a recalling firm to notify its consignees of recalled product
- Failure of a consignee to notify its customers of recalled product
- Recalling firm or consignee found offering for sale recalled product
Table 6 contains information on prohibited activity notices FSIS issued during the reporting period.
[Top of page]
A Notice of Warning (NOW) provides notice of violations to firms and responsible individuals. FSIS issues a NOW to firms and individuals to notify them of prohibited acts or other conduct that violates FSIS statutes or regulations. Generally, FSIS issues a NOW for minor violations of law that are not referred to a United States Attorneys for prosecution or other action. FSIS may also issue a NOW when a U.S. Attorney declines to prosecute a case or bring action against a specific business or individual. A NOW identifies the violative conduct, condition, practice, or product, and the statutory or regulatory provisions violated. It advises the firm or individual that the Agency will not pursue further action for the violation and warns that FSIS may seek criminal prosecution or other action for continued or future violations. Notices of Warning may be issued to any individual or business, including Federal plants, wholesalers, distributors, restaurants, retail stores, and other entities that process, store, or distribute meat, poultry, and egg products. Table 7 shows Notices of Warning issued by the Office of Program Evaluation, Enforcement and Review (OPEER) Evaluation and Enforcement Division (EED) and by each of the Compliance and Investigations Division (CID) Regions during the reporting period.
The FSIS Rules of Practice, which are set out in 9 CFR Part 500, define the type of administrative enforcement actions FSIS takes, the conditions under which these actions are appropriate, and the procedures FSIS will follow in taking these actions. These regulations provide notice to establishments of FSIS enforcement actions. These regulation provide notice to establishments of FSIS enforcement actions, criteria, and processes, and ensure that all establishments are afforded due process.
Administrative actions in the Rules of Practice include regulatory control action, withholding action, and suspension. These actions are defined in 9 CFR 500.1. FSIS takes these actions to prevent preparation and shipment of adulterated products, when products are produced under insanitary conditions, and for other reasons described in the Rules of Practice. When there is an imminent threat to public health or safety, such as the shipment of adulterated product, FSIS takes immediate enforcement action. In other situations, FSIS provides the establishment prior notification of intended enforcement action and the opportunity to demonstrate or achieve compliance. This is called a Notice of Intended Enforcement Action (NOIE). In appropriate situations, FSIS may defer an enforcement decision based on corrections submitted by the establishment. FSIS also may place a suspension action, if taken, in abeyance if an establishment presents and puts into effect corrective and preventive actions. FSIS Office of Field Operations, District Offices monitor and verify an establishment's implementation of corrective and preventive actions, and take follow-up action if needed to protect the public health. Table 8 summarizes suspensions and other administrative actions initiated and closed at federally inspected establishments during the reporting period.
Tables 9 , 10 , and 11 list these administrative actions (other than actions based on convictions) taken at large, small, and very small plants, by establishment, initiated, pending, or closed, for the period, along with the basis for the action. Tables 9 , 10 , and 11 also identify those cases in which an appeal of the suspension action may have been made, along with whether the appeal was granted or the administrative action was sustained (appeal denied). When decisions on appeals have not been made during the period of this report, the appeal is shown as pending and will be reported in the next quarterly report.
Formal Adjudicatory Actions for Food Safety
In some situations, it is necessary to withdraw inspection from an establishment based on the failure of a recipient of inspection service to meet critical sanitation and food safety regulatory requirements (e.g., Sanitation Standard Operating Procedures (SSOP) or Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point (HACCP) system regulations) necessary to protect the public health. In these cases, FSIS files an administrative complaint with the USDA Hearing Clerk. The plant may request a hearing before a USDA Administrative Law Judge. If the action is based on insanitation, or other imminent threats to public health or safety, the plant may remain closed while proceedings go forward. In other cases that do not involve a threat to public health, operations may continue. These actions may be resolved by FSIS and the plant entering into a consent decision, which allows the plant to operate under certain specified conditions. If inspection service is withdrawn, a closed plant must reapply to receive federal inspection. FSIS also may take enforcement action, by filing an administrative complaint, to deny federal inspection service to an applicant. These actions are taken in accordance with the FSIS Rules of Practice (9 CFR Part 500) and Department regulations governing formal adjudicatory proceedings (7 CFR Part 1, Subpart H). Table 12 identifies refusal and withdrawal actions pending or taken on this basis for the reporting period.
Withdrawal for Unfitness
FSIS can move to withdraw or deny inspection, after opportunity for a hearing, based on the unfitness of recipient or applicant for inspection because of a felony conviction, more than one violation involving food, or certain other violations set out in the statutes. Actions pending or taken (other than outstanding consent decisions) are reported. Table 13 identifies actions pending or taken on this basis for the reporting period.

Removing Exempt Privilege
The meat and poultry laws exempt certain custom, retail, or other operations from inspection, such as facilities that slaughter animals or poultry, or process meat or poultry, for owners of the animals. When insanitary conditions create health hazards at these businesses, FSIS may remove custom or other exempt privileges through issuance of a Notice of Ineligibility, and require the business to cease operations until sanitary conditions are restored. FSIS can also take action when custom or other exempt facilities fail to properly label product as "Not for Sale." These exempt businesses have the opportunity to correct violations before or after such actions, contest the basis for such actions at hearings, and to enter settlement agreements to resolve actions. Table 14 lists actions pending or taken on this basis for the reporting period.
If evidence is found that a person or business has engaged in violations of the Federal Meat Inspection Act, Poultry Products Inspection Act, or Egg Products Inspection Act, USDA may refer the case, through the Office of the General Counsel (OGC) or the Inspector General (OIG), to the appropriate United States Attorney to pursue criminal prosecution. Conviction for a criminal offense can result in a fine, imprisonment, or both. Table 15 lists criminal case actions in categories according to the status of the case, which may be indictment or information issued, plea, and sentencing rendered during the reporting period.
In certain situations, United States Attorneys may enter into Pre-Trial Diversion (PTD) agreements with alleged violators in lieu of actual prosecution. Under these agreements, the government agrees not to proceed with criminal prosecution if the alleged violator meets certain terms and conditions. The terms and conditions of a PTD may be tailored to each individual case. If the divertee successfully completes the program, no criminal charges are filed. If, on the other hand, the divertee does not successfully complete the program, criminal charges may be reinstated. FSIS frequently monitors these agreements so that it can assist the United States Attorneys in determining whether the terms have been met or that prosecution should be re-instituted. Table 16 lists Pre-Trial Diversion agreements for the reporting period.
[Top of page]
FSIS also has authority to seek a variety of civil actions and case dispositions in Federal Court.
When FSIS has reason to believe distributed products are adulterated, misbranded, or otherwise in violation of law, the Agency will, through the USDA Office of the General Counsel and United States Attorney, institute a seizure action against the product. The product is held pending an adjudication of its status. If the court finds that the product is adulterated, misbranded, or otherwise in violation of FSIS laws, it will condemn the product. Condemned product cannot be further processed to be used for human food. Table 17 lists seizure actions for the reporting period.
FSIS, through the U.S. Attorney, may request a U.S. District Court to enjoin firms or individuals that engage in repetitive violations of the FMIA, PPIA or EPIA, or their actions pose a threat to public health and safety. An injunction requires an individual or firm to take certain action or to refrain from doing acts that violate the law. Injunctions may be resolved by a consent decree. Table 18 lists civil injunction actions.
False Claims Act and Other Actions
FSIS also works with OGC, OIG, and U.S. Attorneys to obtain other civil case outcomes. The Department of Justice Affirmative Civil Enforcement (ACE) program is used by U.S. Attorneys to recover damages when a violation of law involves fraud against the Federal government. Case examples where civil action may be appropriate include cases involving products, not in compliance, sold to the military, to public schools engaged in the school lunch program, or to other Federal institutions. Table 19 lists ACE actions and other cases involving civil enforcement or settlement.

This is also known as a base layer. The purpose is to wick away moisture from the body when active, and provide a layer of trapped warm air when not moving. You will want to pick a weight that is not so thick that you sweat a good deal when using it. By varying your layers, you can adjust this somewhat, but if your base layer is too thick, there is not much you can do about it. A mid weight or light weight layer (depending on how hot your body tends to run) is best when you are active.Bill's ChoicePatagonia Capilene #3 (Bottoms & Long-Sleeve Zip T Top) (I would go with a #2 base if I were not doing high desert/mountain winter activities.)

The Rays Confidence Graph will appear every Thursday and is a look at how much confidence Rays fans have in the Tampa Bay Rays. The graph is designed to give us a look at how our emotional bias as Rays fans fluctuates through time. The "confidence" in the team is an inexact measure of how fans feel about the team's current strength as well as how much confidence fans have in the franchise for the next 3-4 years. Notes on this week's agida-level can be found after the graph..
Notes on the RI Confidence Graph…
- The most common response for "Confidence in 2009 Rays" was 9 with 33%.
- The most common response for "Confidence in future of franchise" was 10 with 41%.

The National Association of Personal Financial Advisors announced Tuesday that as of Jan. 1, NAPFA would only accept the certified financial planner (CFP) designation for people who applied to be NAPFA-registered financial advisors.
According to the nationwide organization for fee-only financial planners, NAPFA made its decision to help consumers sort through the alphabet soup of designations that may mean something to professionals in the industry but only leave the public confused.
Consumers have a hard time wading through the sea of financial designations that indicate widely varying qualifications, and the CFP is the mark that best represents financial planning professional standards, similar to a JD or a CPA, NAPFA said in its announcement. Unlike the professions of law and accounting, however, the field of financial planning does not yet have a broadly accepted definition of superior quality.
"NAPFA's decision to support the broader recognition of a single, defining designation for the financial planning community just makes sense. Less confusion means more consumer confidence, and the CFP designation hits the mark as a strong, baseline standard," NAPFA Chair Lauren Locker, who is herself a CFP, said in a statement.
The NAPFA board made its decision after a two-week open comment period where current members and affiliates were asked for their input, and the board reported that the responses were "overwhelmingly in favor" of supporting the CFP designation as the baseline educational standard for membership. NAPFA members who don't currently hold a CFP designation can maintain their status.
Since its founding in 1983, there have been different credentials that have qualified an advisor for membership in NAPFA. Currently, about 85% of the group's 2,400 members are CFP certificants, or CFP certificants who hold additional marks, according to Karen Nystrom, NAPFA's staff member in charge of public policy and advocacy. Until Dec. 31, the Specialized Education Requirement may be met by passing either the Certified Financial Planner exam or the post 2010 CPA/PFS exam, Nystrom said in an email.
Michael Kitces (left), a CFP and industry pundit, said Tuesday's announcement is notable for the progress it represents among financial advisors.
"NAPFA has always been at the forefront of pushing forth standards for the profession, which they're doing once again here," Kitces, who is not a NAPFA member, said in a phone interview with AdvisorOne. Two months ago, he added, the Financial Planning Association (FPA) said it would focus on CFP certificate holders as the primary members to which they will deliver value.
In an October blog post on his website titled "One Profession, One [Minimum] Designation," Kitces, who also blogs for AdvisorOne, discussed the FPA's announcement, saying that financial planners who advocate for the CFP to be recognized as the one true designation recall the famous "One Profession, One Designation" refrain first uttered by financial planning luminary P. Kemp Fain nearly 25 years ago.
NAPFA has collaborated in the past with the CFP Board on industry issues, including the fiduciary standard. The CFP Board was itself a subject earlier this autumn, when Alan Goldfarb, chair of the CFP Board's board of directors, resigned along with two members of the Board's Disciplinary and Ethics Commission, after the Board "found sufficient merit" in allegations made against them of failing to meet standards of professional conduct.
CFP controversy aside, Kevin Keller, CFP Board's CEO, said the Certified Financial Planner Board of Standards applauds NAPFA's decision to make CFP certification a requirement of membership.
"NAPFA has been a strong strategic partner with CFP Board in advocating policies in support of competent and ethical financial planning," Keller said in a statement. "NAPFA's endorsement of the CFP certification as the standard for financial planning will provide consumers with a clear, strong and unified message."

Hello again,
The Bethesda v Interplay trial is underway. We don't yet have any documents to tell us what's going on except to confirm that the trial is actually happening. Hopefully this will all become clear in the next few days.
However we do have a nice document here from Interplay outlining their argument as to why the Fallout IP should revert to them; and thanks to the previous document we covered we can cover both sides' main argument on this point.
The arguments here are fairly technical in that they point out what has happened in other cases (this is called precedent). This possibly highlights one of the reasons why both sides have gone for a trial-by-judge rather than trial-by-jury - it can be a little tricky to understand without some sort of legal background, but I'll try to keep it as simple as I can.
Usual disclaimer: IANAL
Interplay Says the whole contract is void
When the Fallout rights were purchased and the MMO rights licensed back this was covered in 2 documents - the Asset Purchase Agreement (APA), and the Trademark License Agreement (TLA); however Interplay argue that the TLA is in effect a part of the APA and that both documents cannot be read seperately. Contracts are binding in Delaware law (says the document) "when (1) the parties intended that the contract would bind them, (2) the terms of the contract are sufficiently definite, and (3) the parties exchange legal consideration. Osborn v. Kemp, 991 A.2d 1153, 1158 (Del. 2010). All three elements are required.". The main issue seems to be on the second point - whether the terms are sufficiently definite. Interplay also argues that even if the TLA isn't effectively a part of the APA if its invalidated it would effectively become an unfulfilled part of the APA and this, they get Fallout back.
Here, both parties signed the Asset Purchase Agreement (APA) and Trademark License Agreement (TLA) indicating an intent to be bound and both parties purported to exchange promises of performance. The inquiry does not end with the intent to be bound, however, even if the contract is writing. To be binding and enforceable, the contract must clearly express the terms of the parties' agreement. A fatal flaw in the TLA arises because the terms of the TLA are not sufficiently definite to establish there was a meeting of the minds as to certain very material terms.
As consideration for the APA and as a condition of Interplay's sale of the Fallout intellectual property to BSW, Interplay licensed back the rights to create a "Fallout-branded MMOG," which Interplay always understood to be a massively multiplayer game (MMOG) that includes essential characters, back story and other references sufficient to be recognizable as a Fallout game. Specific language intrinsic to the TLA objectively supports Interplay's reasonable interpretation. Yet BSW contends the same language shows that it intended something entirely different: that Interplay's Fallout MMOG should be just a word on a box.
Interestingly Interplay does sort of have to argue against itself to make this argument:
In this case, although Interplay believes that an objective reading of the TLA comports with its interpretation, Delaware law provides that the TLA is void and unenforceable if the Court cannot objectively determine what rights were conveyed under the TLA. If the TLA is void, the APA also is void and should be rescinded because the TLA is a material term of the APA. If the TLA itself is too indefinite to bind the parties, the APA suffers from the same infirmities because it incorporates the TLA as a material term, as if it were set forth in full within the APA. The TLA, because it is invalid, also constitutes an unfulfilled condition precedent to Interplay's sale of the intellectual property.
And they cite all sorts of example cases where contracts have been voided because of a lack of definite terms. From what I can make of it the Court is limited in what interpretation it can bring to the contract, and if it cannot through the objective theory of reading contracts determine what is in there.
Moving on now to Interplays response to Betehsda's "Fallout name not Fallout game" arguments...
Section 3.4 is a material term of the TLA because it governs ownership of the intellectual property in the MMOG and its content following a termination. The contract addresses the possibility that the license may terminate prior to the commercial release of Interplay's Fallout- branded MMOG. Section 3.4 of the TLA details the elements of Fallout Intellectual Property - in addition to the trademark - Interplay must cease to use in its MMOG should the TLA terminate. It details the Fallout MMOG elements that Interplay may continue to use in a "non- Fallout MMOG." (Emphasis added in court document.)
inter alia, any or all locations, graphic representations, creatures, monsters, names, likenesses, behaviors, religions, deities, environments, legends, fairy tales, stories, universes, character classes or character professions that are in the public domain, are owned by any entity other than Bethesda and/or its affiliates and/or licensors or otherwise are not subject to [Bethesda's] copyright or trademark protection.
Section 3.4 of the TLA further explains that the Interplay-Derived MMOG Elements are those which: do not use, incorporate, trade on or otherwise exploit any Fallout-related intellectual property created by Interplay or by Bethesda or by their respective parents, subsidiaries, affiliates, successors or assigns, including without limitation any Fallout artwork, locations, graphic representations, story lines, creatures, monsters, names, likenesses, behaviors, environments (e.g., vaults), universes, settings, legends, characters, character classes, character professions, packaging, advertisements, text and translations, and any and all Fallout proprietary characters, trademarks, copyrights and artwork listed in Exhibit C-2 to the APA, it being understood and agreed by the parties that all such property is and shall remain exclusively owned by Bethesda. (Emphasis added in court document.)
Thus, when declaring what rights each party would continue to hold and exploit following a termination of the TLA, the parties explicitly agreed that Interplay would continue to exploit only those elements of the MMOG that do not use elements of Fallout-related intellectual property created by Interplay or BSW.
There is no logical reason to define "Interplay-derived MMOG Elements" if Interplay does not hold any rights to use any elements of the Fallout brand to create a Fallout-branded MMOG as BSW contends. All game elements would be Interplay-derived. If Interplay never had any right to use the Fallout elements, the parties would not have set forth in such detail which elements of the Fallout-branded MMOG (i.e. those elements specifically unrelated to the Fallout universe) Interplay may continue to use if the TLA terminates. To read Section 3.4 of the TLA otherwise would render this section nugatory.
If Section 2.1 of the TLA never authorized use of any Fallout-related intellectual property, the MMOG could never contain material that was not original to Interplay. It never would contain any material that was not "Interplay-derived." Because Section 3.4 recognizes Interplay's rights to continue using the Interplay-derived MMOG Elements of its Fallout-branded MMOG, but not those owned by BSW or otherwise subject to copyright or trademark protection by BSW, there never would be a need for Interplay to wind down its MMOG or cancel user agreements. Interplay could just rename the game.The argument essentially saying "Why bother including all this stuff that would have to be removed and the game shut down if the license was revoked if Interplay never had the license to use it in the first place?"
Interplay also take issue with the quality requirements listed in the TLA:
The Quality Control provisions of the TLA also are material. Quality provisions are very important in a trademark license because the mark owner is obliged to police the quality of the licensed product or risk the destruction of the mark through the grant of a naked license. Here though, TLA Section 5.1.2 states that the Licensed Product (which is defined elsewhere in the agreement as the Fallout MMOG) shall be the "same quality as, or exceed in quality, the quality of the Licensed Products..." What standard applies when the Fallout MMOG only has to be at least as good as the Fallout MMOG? There is no way to tell.
Interplay go on to assert that if the TLA is void, then the APA must be void because the TLA represents a term in the APA - that Interplay get to work on Fallout Online - it would essentially be like agreeing to buying a car, driving it away, but not actually paying for it. Thus Interplay argue the agreement then falls to the existing agreement that gives Bethesda the right to make 3 games - an agreement Interplay notes that has not been breached by either side.
Bethesda Says this all lacks merit
For its part Bethesda also makes some technical arguments which have been discussed in the past. They cite a number of cases which and say Because the question of "mutual assent" is an objective rather than subjective one, a signed, written contract is conclusive evidence of mutual assent to the terms contained therein. and goes on to say;
The issue of "mutual assent" or "meeting of the minds" arises where there is no formal, written, or fully executed agreement. The reason why is clear: Signing a contract conclusively establishes the parties' objective manifestation of assent to the written terms of the contract. In Osborn v. Kemp, the Delaware Supreme Court dismissed out of hand an argument that there was no mutual assent to a fully-executed contract: "The face of this contract manifests the parties' intent to bind one another contractually. Both parties signed the contract and . . . also exchanged consideration . . . ." Osborn v. Kemp, 991 A.2d 1153, 1158-59 (Del. 2010). The APA is a written agreement executed by Interplay that transferred to Bethesda all of the ownership rights to any and all trademarks and copyrights related to the video game series Fallout. (See Exs. 1, 2, 3, 4.) In the Joint Pretrial Order, the parties stipulated to the existence of the written agreement. (Joint Pretrial Order at 23) ("The APA, including its exhibits, annexes and schedules, are an entire agreement").4 Interplay's claim that there is an absence of a "meeting of the minds" or "mutual assent" fails as a matter of law.
So what is going to happen from here?
Remember I'm not a lawyer, so I don't really know.
I suspect however it depends on how the judge decides things stack in addition to what the actual determined facts are; and there are 4 possibilities: a total Bethesda win (No MMO keep the rights); a minor Bethesda win (Fallout MMO in name only, Bethesda keeps ownership); a minor Interplay win (Fallout MMO but don't get the rights), or a major Interplay win (Bethesda gets to make 1 more Fallout game and Interplay own all the rights).
If its determined that Interplay didn't meet the terms of the TLA; Bethesda would argue that what rights are assigned are irrelevant, whatever those rights were Interplay no longer has them.
On the other hand, Interplay would argue that if the TLA isn't clear enough for the court to objectively determine what rights were transfered then it doesn't matter if they met the licensing agreements or not - the TLA and APA never happened and they own the whole thing anyway.
Its also possible that the court could reject Interplay argument and say that they think the TLA is sufficiently clear - in that case what happens would depend on what the court thinks it says - does it only confer the Trademarks or the copyrights too? If the court thinks its clear (whichever way) then Interplay can't get the IP back, but may be able to make their MMO if they met the licensing agreement.
More news as it breaks.

TV crew in Kansas looking for Bigfoot
Crew tells authorities they haven't found anything
Saline County authorities said a television crew has been in Kansas looking for Bigfoot.
The Salina Journal reported that Saline County sheriff's deputies got a call of suspicious vehicles Monday near a rural residence.
Sheriff Glen Kochanowski said deputies found a television crew with several sport utility vehicles and a U-Haul at the site and determined the vehicles belonged to the crew from Ping Pong Productions of Los Angeles, Calif. The sheriff said the crew had the landowner's permission to be at the location.
A representative of the television crew said they had received information about a Bigfoot sighting in the area and were recording video for a cable program called "Finding Bigfoot."
But the sheriff said members of the crew told deputies they hadn't found anything.

Our Haunted Lives: True Life Ghost Encounters

Hi Jeff, this is Loopy from Wild Bunch Radio. My husband and I interviewed you about this book and I just wanted to look into the conferference and saw your name. I LOVE the book! Thank you for a great interview and we would absolutely LOVE to have a new interview with you in the near furture! I really hope we can make it to the conference -but if not- we will continue to read your wonderful, insightful books. I read up a lot on research for the show Shadows Of doubt - and I must say Forge & I both think it's a HOT READ! This book was difficult to put it down! Thanx bunches for writing it, and thank you KINDLY forthe interview.
Dear Ghostvillagers,
Our Haunted Lives is a book that arguably I began working on in 1997. Back in '97 I had no idea I would be writing any books, but I knew I wanted to know more about ghosts and the supernatural. It was back in '97 that I was talking to someone who said she saw a ghost in Dudleytown, Connecticut. Now, I wasn't there when she had her experience, so I can't tell you with certainty that she saw something. But I can tell you beyond any doubt that this girl was moved by whatever it was that she did see. The way she described her experience, her eyes only looked away from mine in order to find the right words, and the way her body tensed up with fear as she relived her moment of contact made me a believer in her. Short of having a supernatural experience for yourself, speaking one-on-one with a witness to a ghostly event is the most compelling evidence for ghosts that there is.
For years people have been telling me about their ghost experiences -- their testimony is gripping. Since my days as a newspaper reporter I have always kept my trusty hand-held tape recorder by my side. When I interview a witness, the tape rolls so I can pay attention to our conversation and so I don't miss anything. Replaying the tape for me was almost like reliving the encounter. In Our Haunted Lives, I present the experiences in the words of the witnesses. I want you to read what I heard. I tried to ask the questions you might have asked. It's a new approach to documenting ghost encounters, and I hope you'll all support me on this and pick up the book.
Our Haunted Lives is also the place where I present the entire interview with George Lutz, the man whose experiences in Amityville, New York back in 1975 sparked many books and movies that often exaggerated or completely made up what really happened. I spoke to Mr. Lutz for hours about everything he's experienced since the summer of 1975 right through present day. Sadly, George Lutz died this past May and this interview was one of the last major discussions he ever had on the record. Was Amityville a hoax? See what George Lutz himself had to say about it.
Please forgive me for this shameless self-promotion, but this month we're going to explore the profound nature of the ghost experience as our topic of the month. If you'd like to buy this book or any of my other books online, you can do so here: http://www.ghostvill...fbelanger.shtml
Supernaturally yours,
Jeff Belanger

"There are some things money can't buy...A good imagination is one of them
Posted 11 September 2010 - 05:06 AM
2nd night same thing.but this time i went smelling all over the house.but just smelled it in the bedroom.odd.
3rd night in january..woke up at 5:33 am to someone stroking my elbow of my arm.my arm was bent and my hand was under my head.i thought it was my hubby and i was about to scream at him for getting me up so early but he was snoring.i felt two fingers stroke my arm.granted it was snowing outside.so im thinking somone must have wanted me up early to scrape the car off.
the next day hubby and i were talking about needed quarters for laundry.went to bed i told him something is going to happen tonight.he said how can you tell.i said i can just feel it in the room.next day i woke up to go to work.i have a chair with my clothes draped over it.so less time wondering what im going to wear to work.as im getting ready i see a quarter sitting on the chair, heads up.i inspect it to see what year it is.the year i graduated high school.to bad we didnt discuss gold coins or anything.but i dont keep money in my jeans so its not like it could have fallen out.
that day when i came home from work i went into the bedroom and said out loud " i know your here but if you want to contact us do it doing daylight hours." i felt kinda foolish but i know they heard me.i wasnt getting enough sleep, plus i wake up to the slightest noise anyway.after i told them to come to us in the daylight.they have been doing that.another story though.had to share.sorry if this is posted in the wrong area.

Today's tree was suggested by the founder of the Pirates email listserv, Arik Florimonte. Three time All Star, two time World Champion, purveyor of fine barbecue and everyone's favorite free swinging catcher: Manny Sanguillen.
Manny has the distinction of being one of only three players in Major League history who were traded for a manager. (Randy Winn and Bill Denehy are the others.) The Hardball Times had a great article last week on this subject.
You'll find six separate trees, due to six players that each had two stints with the club. Can you locate them all?
Although I don't remember seeing him play, Manny was always a favorite of mine due to this picture, taken during spring training in either 1975 or '76.
On other fronts, the Pirates acquired AA RHP Eliecer Cardenas to complete the Matt Diaz trade.

"I wonder how Jim and Jeff will look like 20 years later ... they look to old for the haircut, lol. Can't imagine them looking like that these days."
Those haircuts looked none too flattering on them when they were young men in their thirties--I can only imagine how hilarious and pathetic they will look with it now that they're in their fifties. Not that they look bad for their age -- but yeah, those haircuts are going to look great on them. I'm looking forward to the inevitable set pics that will leak.
Which character do you suppose will be the one who'll need the new kidney -- Harry or Lloyd? For some reason, I think it will be Harry. Though the Farrellys haven't corroborated who it is, yet.

Investment banks are generally upbeat on their outlook for how commodities, including gold and silver, will fare over the next 12 months. But economists at the World Bank are more sanguine and expect many commodities to fall in price next year.
Morgan Stanley (MS), for instance, lists gold, silver, corn and soybeans as its preferred commodities for 2013. It expects gold to average $1,853 an ounce next year and for silver to average $35.
On Friday, gold for February delivery dropped 0.4% to trade at $1,656.30 on the Comex. For the week ending Dec. 28, gold fell 0.3%, while silver weakened 0.7%.
Gold started the year at around $1,598, giving it a roughly 6% increase year to date, its smallest yearly gain since 2008. (The S&P 500, by comparison, rose roughly 15% in 2012.)
"Higher prices in recent years have brought both a supply and demand response, bringing many to call for the end of the commodity 'super cycle.' We view this as too simplistic," Morgan Stanley's commodities team said earlier this month.
But Barclays just cut its outlook for gold in 2013, though it still sees the precious metal ahead of current levels at $1,815 an ounce. Its silver forecast has remained steady at $32.50.
Its 2013 forecast for platinum is $1,690 an ounce (vs. $1,617 as of Dec. 14), while it sees palladium trading at $736 an ounce (vs. $704 on Dec. 14).
For its part, Bank of America (BAC) sees gold, copper, silver, platinum and palladium outperforming other commodities in the year ahead as global economic grow averages 3.2%.
"We expect large-scale policy easing by the Fed and the ECB should push gold prices higher," the BofA analysts explained. They forecast gold to hid $2,000 an ounce in 2013. "A stronger Chinese economy will likely lend support to supply constrained metals next year, and we expect copper prices to average $7,750 a ton in the fourth quarter of 2013."
UBS said earlier in December that its gold forecast is $1,900 an ounce in 2013, while its silver outlook is pegged at $36.80. Its platinum forecast is $1,740, and its palladium outlook is at $780.
"We remain gold bulls," UBS said in its report. "Ongoing uncertainty around U.S. fiscal issues, together with the view that major central banks will maintain loose monetary policies for longer, are key supports of our outlook."
Russell Investments noted in its 2013 outlook that it doesn't expect the price of gold to double anytime soon. But, as long as the U.S. Federal Reserve remains committed to its zero-rate policy," it may be some time before there is a formidable headwind for the precious metal. As such, we expect the price of gold to remain firm with modest upside over the next year," it explained in the report.
Goldman Sachs, however, recently trimmed its gold outlook for 2013, according to several reports. The investment bank says gold's bullish cycle could reverse itself next year if rising interest rates and growth offset government stimulus programs.
Price Movement
Commodities as tracked by the Standard & Poor's GSCI Spot Index are down 2% this year on lower prices for coffee, sugar and cotton.
The PowerShares DB Commodity Index Tracking ETF (DBC), though, has improved roughly 2% since Dec. 14, 2011.
The World Bank, which will issue forecasts in January, had a very bullish outlook on base metals, but a bearish take on precious metals in its latest statistics.
It sees gold prices moving from an estimated average of $1,650 in 2012 to $1,600 in 2013. But copper and nickel, are projected to see significant price rises in the year to come.
Overall, the organization sees the prices of precious metals declining in 2013, while base metals and minerals should see substantial price gains.
As for energy prices, it forecasts a weakening for crude oil and a modest improvement in natural gas.
