The course runs over five
consecutive days
covering Monday through Friday. Students are expected to attend each hour of each day since the course is comprehensive with each day building upon the next. Days may start at 7:45 AM and may run to 5 PM on M-Th and end on Friday around 2-3PM. Breakfast, lunch, and afternoon snacks/tea are provided. Lunches are usually working lunches. Class minimum is 12 with a maximum of 25.
Students who complete the course will be certified as Cyber Intelligence Tradecraft Professional. 40 CPEs awarded for the course. This course is highly specialized following intelligence community tradecraft. You won't get this at SANS. You won't get this anywhere but from Treadstone 71. If you want purely technical, then this is not the course for you. If you want tradecraft that lays the foundation for a solid program, education that creates a lasting impact, then this is the course for you.
Course books and manuals will be provided to students upon accepted enrollment. This course follows traditional intelligence community tradecraft. Treadstone 71 has been teaching cyber intelligence courses in various forms for six years. From academic settings and corporate environments to government facilities. Our customers include some of the largest firms in the world many of whom are part of critical infrastructures recognizing the need to learn how to create intelligence (www.treadstone71.com). We support our training with onsite consulting services that teach you how to create a sustainable program aligned to stakeholders. Ultimately, we teach you what most vendors cannot or will not – how to fish for yourself.

This course combines lecture, research, and hands-on team assignments. Students need to bring a laptop (PC or MAC) that does not have corporate controls (tablets will not suffice). PC works best.
How is this course different from the current Treadstone 71 Cyber Intelligence course?
This course provides definitive sections along the intelligence lifecycle that are in-depth. Students are required to demonstrate understanding and use of collection methods using defined targets and target case studies, understanding and applying analytic techniques, when and how to use analytic techniques and analytic types. Students are presented case studies for analysis, required to use tradecraft methods, and provide written reports in standard analytic format. Students are also required to orally present their deliverables to the class. You will leave this course with the tools, methods, and understanding necessary to enhance your intelligence program. Treadstone 71 helps you focus on analytical tradecraft. The course provides the principles and tools used by analysts to instill rigor in thinking and prevent cognitive biases from skewing analytic judgments. Through the use of structured analytic techniques, analysts make their argumentation and logic more transparent and subject to further investigation.
"The Cyber Intelligence Training delivered and created by Jeff Bardin will add rapid returns to both Cyber Intel Analysts, and your Security Operations. This very thorough class adequately prepares the student for your Cyber Intelligence function. This class starts with the history of intelligence as a tradecraft and the evolution to the digital corporate world. Along the way, each student receives quality instruction and hands-on experience with today's OSINT tools. This is necessary for anyone new to Cyber Intelligence and complimentary to any Security Operations within your enterprise. This class provides the student with the resources and fundamentals needed to establish cyber intelligence as a force as both a proactive offensive step and a counter intelligence-contributing arm of your larger team."
"The class was very detail orientated with a strong focus on the work of Cyber threats and how to better secure your assets against potential attacks. For most scenarios, we went through he had an open source tool, or the link to a paid version, to monitor or prevent the attacks from occurring. He was able to answer each and every question asked with specific details, and then some. I would sign up again right away for any other classes offered by Jeff."
"Fantastic class that gets to the foundational aspects of traditional tradecraft. We studied hard examining recent attack campaigns. The analysis training prepared me for real world efforts. Have to say this is one of the best classes I have ever taken having taken many from SANS. SANS does not compare. They are more of a class mill today. The Treadstone 71 course material is unique, focused, and timely."
"The Cyber Intelligence training offered by Treadstone71 is definitely an outstanding course and I recommend it for any organization looking to implement an intelligence capability. Jeff Bardin is extremely knowledgeable in the intelligence tradecraft and applies it to the cyber realm in a way that is understandable, exciting to learn and makes it easy to achieve "quick wins" in the organization after completing his class. Jeff provided the class with a multitude of tools, templates, and documents that can immediately be used by any organization focused on intelligence collection and analysis. Jeff arrived well prepared to teach the course and one of the most impressive aspects of the class was that he presented the material in a way that displayed his personal knowledge and experience in the field rather than relying solely on book material. We intend to continue leveraging Jeff's services as we mature our cyber intelligence capability and highly recommend Treadstone71's services to any organization."
"This is one of the best, if not the best, Cyber Threat Intelligence training course I've attended."
"This course was excellent. I was concerned coming into it that I would already know all the course material (I have been doing this sort of work for 15 years, specifically the type of work this course covered). As it turns out, it was a good reminder of what I should be doing to improve structure and rigor, and provided good tools, some of which I had not seen before. If I was new to this field, or looking for a good insight into how Intelligence should work (i.e.: most of the rest of the class), I believe this would have provided even more value. I have already recommended it to a couple of my former colleagues in this line of business, and would happily recommend it for future use by ########."
I attended this week-long class (along with several other #### folks and a mix of cyber-professionals from industry) that focuses on everything from open source Intel gathering to Intel reporting to hacking. While it is really targeted towards Intel specialists, those of us who aren't steeped in the business were able to keep up. We now have a much better understanding of the intel cycle (both for government and industry), the ways that one can remain unattributed on the net, the myriad of tools for gathering open source information, and how to grade the validity and relevance of information.
A few points for those that may consider this class:
1. It assumes a good knowledge of how all the internet search engines work and shows you how to use more capable versions of Firefox, Chrome, etc.
2. You will get a ton of information (at both the entry level and above) on how to plan, collect, analyze, organize, and deliver Intel.
3. Treadstone 71 provides you with a ton of resources (some of them loaded up on a nifty Amazon Fire tablet that you get to keep) that you can take with you if this is going to be your business. This includes tools to recognize and combat cognitive bias.
4. Intel is hard and open source is even harder--there are not many black/white answers. The three case studies were good in that they showed all the layers of information a good analyst can peel back.
5. We also got experience with the time crunch associated with flash reporting.
As a non-intel type, I thought the class was very useful since it helps me understand the customer better. I would certainly recommend it to people working in this arena and for anyone who wants to stretch their mind a bit.
Breakfast and lunch served daily
Afternoon snack provided

Commandant delivers State of the Coast Guard address
Commandant, Adm. Thad Allen delivering his State of the Coast Guard address at the National Press Club, Washington, D.C.,Tuesday.
In his address, Allen outlined the service's goals and priorities for 2009, and addressed how demand for the Coast Guard has never been higher. As an armed service, Department of Homeland Security component agency, National Intelligence Community member and the Nation's lead representative in the International Maritime Organization, the Coast Guard is well equipped to mitigate risks and respond to threats anywhere in the maritime domain.
Allen expressed how he will continue to work with the administration and Congress to ensure the men and women of the Coast Guard have the tools, capabilities and authorities to execute their missions safely and effectively.

There's one friend Charlie Sheen will never be able to alienate, and that's his Twitter account. All other bets are off, however.
Sheen took to TwitLonger on Thursday to express his displeasure with pop star Rihanna, who apparently declined an opportunity to meet his fiancee, former porn star Scottine Sheen (known to porn aficionados as Brett Rossi). Apparently, the couple were out for Scottine's birthday at the same restaurant as Rihanna and Scottine wanted to meet her, but Rihanna said there were too many photographers around.
"I sent a request over to her table to introduce my fiancé Scotty to her, as she is a huge fan(personally I couldn't pick her out of a line-up at gunpoint)," Sheen wrote.
"Well, the word we received back was that there were toomany paps outside and it just wasn't possible at this time.
"At this time? AT THIS TIME?? Lemme guess, we're to reschedule another random11 million to 1 encounterwith her some other night...?"
Sheen went on to advise Rihanna that the best way to stay in the business as long as he has is to always, always make time for your fans and be gracious to them, which... sounds like pretty good advice, actually, though it's hard to imagine Charlie Sheen following it. Maybe he only calls you a "village idiot" if you're a fellow celeb.
Rihanna, as you may imagine, was unimpressed with Sheen's rant.
Charmers, both of them.

Autonomous driving development is focused on shifting human control to computers, in hopes of doing it more effectively and consistently. Auto supplier ZF is looking to build a platform that brings new intelligence to those systems, starting with a prototype that literally sees pedestrians before they're visible to a human or camera eye.
The technology, called X2Safe, detects pedestrians that aren't visible to drivers, cameras, or radar, and then communicates with vehicles, smart phones and smart watches.
Reimagining the Platform
"Pedestrians and cyclists account for nearly half of the 1.25 million deaths caused by traffic accidents worldwide every year," explained Malgorzata Wiklinska, head of ZF's think tank.
"The beauty of our platform is that it can empower pedestrians and drivers alike to intervene ahead of an imminent collision before they visually 'see' it."
Key to the technology is ZF's proprietary algorithm, which Wiklinska says took six months to develop and test. The algorithm individually analyzes the behavior of all road users, drawing on real-time readings of speed and direction, and then correlates it with probability models to assign level of risk.
Users can decide what notifications they want to receive, and the behavioral models learn and thereby get smarter over time. The algorithm can process situational dangers, such as roads with poor visibility, construction, or heavy use environments, such as bus stops and school crossings.
X2Safe is an example of the fundamental imagining of ZF's "platform" of traditional mechanical components, and extending it to include the digital space around and beyond vehicles.
"The algorithm can be used car-to-X, X-to-car, and even in X-to-X applications," said Wiklinska.
"The more people and vehicles linked within the interactive safety network, the more effective the accident avoidance."
Looking for Innovation Partners
ZF is also actively looking for partners to innovate practical applications for X2Safe, choosing to pursue its development as it would a startup. Proof of concept tests could involve strategic alliances with technology partners, such as Google, as well as user communities, such as city transportation authorities, or school districts.
The company is also considering potential licensing of the algorithm for wearables, such as wristbands or tags that students could use. X2Safe is ready to play a role in autonomous driving applications as soon as model year 2020 vehicles, as it could be programmed to trigger a variety of responses, from warnings to emergency stops.

NHTSA — Electrical System: Wiring Problems
CarComplaints.com Notes: Whenever a new product is introduced, there's bound to be some problems. And man oh man, does the 2006 Commander have some problems.
It's the plight of the 1st-generation adopter: you get the newest and shiniest in exchange for a handful of issues that get ironed out in future versions. But what happens when that handful of issues becomes a bucketload? The 2006 Commander has quality control issues like the door handles breaking off and the sunroof leaking. But what's truly worrisome is the electrical problems like the vehicle shutting down unexpectedly, gauges going crazy or the cruise control having a mind of its own.
Bottom line: if you want a Jeep Commander, you're better off looking at a later model year.

Good luck,

Thank you Nealeh and Bill for your advice which I have followed and am pleased to say that my problem is no more. I have now burned a simple but pleasing movie to a DVD without any unwanted clips. (and yes nealeh I like your quote in fact I had this quote stuck on my kitchen wall for many years when my children were young, the same children now have their own kids and know how true it is !!)

Glad to hear you got it sorted out.
I first used my signature tag around 1992/93 and have found no reason to change it - even though my youngest is now 17. In fact I might say that it is more relevant now than when they were young !!!

Your youngest is 17?!?!? You must have married very young, and your wife, barely out of diapers! You cannot have a youngest child at 17. I will just not believe that.
Thanks for all that you do in this forum, regardless of how young you were, when you were married!

Barbe 'a transformational leader'
Executive director has strengthened the Maryland Technology Enterprise Institute in College Park for more than 20 years
Barbe, 69, of Clarksville has been a driving force behind the University of Maryland's Maryland Technology Enterprise Institute — Mtech — since 1985, helping establish an educational continuum that takes young entrepreneurs from basic ideas to sustainable ventures. He was honored in March with the Olympus 2008 Lifetime of Educational Innovation Award.
Barbe, an engineering professor at the university's College Park campus and executive director of Mtech, is responsible for developing the Hinman CEO Program, the Technology Startup Boot Camp, the $50K Business Plan Competition and several technology entrepreneurship courses.
''I've always had an interest in entrepreneurship. Most people with that spirit can trace it back to their early stages with lemonade stands and fixup shops. It was the same for me," Barbe said. ''I always wanted to make money on my own."
Barbe, with a doctorate in electrical engineering, worked many jobs before joining the university, including running his own company. He also worked in the U.S. Naval Research Lab and the Pentagon.
Herbert Rabin, director of Mtech since its launch in 1983, selected Barbe to help him refine its programs. He describes Barbe as insightful, organizationally conscious and instrumental in maintaining student interest in entrepreneurship courses.
''We wanted to create a technology entrepreneur culture," Barbe said. ''It's important to have, since nowadays students demand it."
Mtech, run through the A. James Clark School of Engineering at College Park, has brought more than $17 billion in fiscal benefits to Maryland and has generated more than 7,200 jobs since its creation, according to Mtech.
Hinman: 'It wasan experiment'
Barbe said Hinman CEOs was initially regarded as an outlandish idea. Many people were skeptical of its concept of selecting undergraduates from all majors to live together and form their own companies, while receiving internships and hands-on mentoring.
''It was an experiment, but I wanted to see how it worked. People with entrepreneur tendencies are known to take risks," Barbe said.
Hinman students run companies out of their dorm rooms, sometimes generating close to $1 million in revenues annually, Barbe said.
Blake Robertson, co-founder of the alert system Alertus in New York, is one of the program's success stories. After winning the $50K Business Plan Competition - which Barbe created to give startups another boost by offering cash prizes for the best business concepts - Robertson went on to form his company. Alertus now has clients with universities, hospitals and military bases and generates several million dollars in annual revenue.
Robertson said Hinman connected him with like-minded students who helped him channel his energies into one concept rather than non-stop ideas.
Mtech's Hinman program has been replicated throughout several universities and recently led to the creation of the Hillman Entrepreneurs Program. Hillman is a four-year scholarship program that steers Prince George's Community College students into the university, with a focus on business ventures.
''I've found Dr. Barbe to be a transformational leader. He's the kind of person who can see things others don't see. He really cares about people," said Karen Thornton, director of Hillman and a former Hinman director. ''He's creating a legacy for the school of engineering."
Barbe also worked to improve Mtech programs such as Maryland Industrial Partnerships, a program that helps companies develop products using university faculty expertise and facilities; VentureAccelerator, an 18- to 24-month training program for young companies; and the technology incubator, or Technology Advancement Program, which houses startups for a few years and offers consulting while they establish themselves.
Barbe directs'fantastic team'
Zymetis, a research company currently involved with VentureAccelerator, is another example of Barbe's work through Mtech. The company produces enzyme mixtures that convert certain elements of waste into ethanol.
Life sciences professor Steve Hutcheson, chief technical officer of Zymetis, said Barbe directs a ''fantastic team," which helped Hutcheson merge his research knowledge with that of business-savvy people.
''The No. 1 thing about Dr. Barbe is that he makes sure the program continues to grow," said Scott Laughlin, Zymetis CEO. ''The best managers find talented people and give them what they need, to do what needs to be done."
Mtech has also had a significant role in the foundation of Martek, producer of infant formula that aids in sensory development, in Columbia and Digene Corp., a Gaithersburg biotech that was acquired by Qiagen of the Netherlands last year for about $1.5 billion.
When not thinking up new ideas for Mtech, Barbe spends his time traveling to places such as Portugal, where he helps establish business programs in local universities.
''I love their fish dishes," he said. Barbe also enjoys mussels marinara at Pasta Plus in Laurel and sits at the same table every time he visits.
Barbe lives with his wife, Irene, and has four children and five grandchildren. At home, he enjoys fixing things and is constantly busy around the house, usually on ladders.
Barbe attributes most of Mtech's success to the people working within the program.
''I may have been the catalyst behind many of these projects, but I could not accomplish anything without the commitment of Mtech's staff," he said.

Agroforestry and silvopasture are ancient yet sustainable ways of managing forestland. They increase productivity in the short, medium and long terms, compared with forestland, and have a higher level of biodiversity than farmland. This book, containing over 125 papers presented at an international conference held in Spain in April 2004, examines the productivity and quality of silvopastoral systems and outlines successful ways of managing forestry and agronomic areas. It examines the ecological benefits of silvopastoral systems and their cultural, economic, and social implications. The final section of the book evaluates these systems within a global context.

Home » ABOUT ARMSTRONG » Turnkey Steel Building Construction
Armstrong's Turnkey Steel Building Services
Armstrong's Build Group is one of the leading metal building construction management firms in the nation. We've worked with organizations just like yours to plan and build a wide range of facilities utilizing only the highest quality steel building system precisely engineered to your organization's purpose.
We know how daunting the idea of breaking ground on a new facility can be. Between the concept and grand opening, there are an infinite number of decisions that must be made. But our unique approach makes the metal building construction process more affordable and simplifies your entire experience by bringing together the input of builders, engineers and architects proactively at the beginning of your steel building construction project. And we provide you with hands-on input and oversight while your new steel metal building is being built.
So whether your organization is newly formed or is weighing whether to expand into a larger facility as a step in the growth process, Armstrong stands ready to help you meet your steel building construction needs.
Steel Systems Construction
The true measure of a reputable and reliable construction management firm is its ability to translate design and engineering into steel, stone, glass or wood. Armstrong has always insisted on using only the highest quality steel building & metal building construction materials and craftsmanship in its metal buildings. Being one of the leading steel buildings and metal buildings OEM manufacturers, we believe that every structure is a "testimony in steel" to all who will ever see it, use it and experience its benefits. And we back up this belief with a strict system of quality control applied to all of our metal and steel buildings projects to ensure that no corners are cut and no shortcuts are taken. Whether the steel building project involves a two-bay auto repair shop or the erection of a 150,000 square-foot complex, quality at every level is Armstrong Steel's number one criterion.
Unblemished metal buildings and steel buildings construction is never an accident! It is the result of architects, engineers and builders working fluidly to achieve your vision. And there is no better approach than Armstrong Steel's tenured team of builders, engineers and project managers. Working under the direction of the Armstrong Build Group, these professionals recognize that no one understands the needs and purpose of your new facility better than you do. Thus, our Build Group will not to try to tell you what you should build; rather, our team will listen carefully to your requirements and will apply all our knowledge and skills to develop plans that will meet your metal buildings individual needs as well as your budget.
We know metal buildings. It is due to Armstrong Steel's integrated steel building management approach that the customer is not caught short, which happens all too often in the construction industry. Proactively, our metal builders work in conjunction with engineers, estimators and architects, communicating with each other at every step throughout your metal building construction project to ensure that everything remains on track and accurate.
Given our wide-ranging experience in commercial steel buildings and metal building church construction, Armstrong Steel understands the hurdles organizations can encounter when erecting a facility. Worst case, you first invest a large amount of money/time working with an architect to develop a set of plans only to learn that you aren't able to afford the facility as designed. Or, when construction begins, you run into big cost overages because the builder and architect disagree on the application of said plans. In these situations, you as the customer are left feeling misinformed and misguided.
At Armstrong Steel, we believe you deserve streamlined access to both the engineers' and builders' input from conception through completion of the metal building and steel building project. Our communicative style means that maximum costs are identified early on, not after you're invested in the process. The only real surprise should be, well, the lack of any surprise at all.
The Armstrong Difference
ACCOUNTABILITY: Each metal building and steel building construction project is assigned a specific Armstrong metal buildings contact person that is accountable for ensuring the project deadlines are met and for communicating the project's progress to the client. Daily Internet updates between Armstrong Steel contacts plus company-wide instant access—electronic or via phone—helps to ensure that you receive up-to-the-second status reports on your project.
INNOVATION: We developed the Armstrong Steel process with the goal of incorporating your architectural design and your design objectives into the best-suited types of metal buildings & steel buildings possible. We will recommend options your architect may have not considered or even known were possible in steel building construction today. This helps to ensure that your structure comes in at a price you can afford before the process of finish drawings and detailing work begins.
COMMUNICATION: Armstrong Steel believes that the most important element in any steel building construction project is communication. The more a client knows about the ongoing construction process, the more satisfied they will be with their new facility. Regularly scheduled meetings and daily Internet updates ensure all the members of the building committee, congregation or board of directors know the details of the project each step of the way.
Armstrong Steel strives to help its clients choose the best structure to fit their specific requirements. Whether it is designing a warehouse or providing a structure to accommodate thousands of visitors, we've done it and we can simplify the process for you.

Today I am excited to share our latest busy bag activity with you; it is a great activity to also work on your little one's fine motor skills. Keep reading to learn more about our Beaded Turkey Patterns Busy Bag.
I've included some printable task cards below to make this activity re-useable, so check those out, too!
post may contain affiliate links.
This activity was fitting for our Playful Preschool Turkey Theme! To make this activity yourself, you'll need to first assemble your turkey, so gather:
- Styrofoam Ball
- Brown Paint
- Googly Eyes
- 3 Blunt Craft Sticks/ Toothpicks
- Orange Cardstock
- Red Yarn
Preschool Turkey Busy Bag Activity
With the items listed above, paint the stryrofoam ball brown.
Once dried, add googly eyes, triangular shaped beak, and red yarn. To keep the stryrofoam ball from rolling around, I cut off a bit at the bottom so that the turkey would sit flat on the table.
Next add your toothpicks. If assembling the turkey isn't do-able, just use play dough instead!
Along with the styrofoam turkey, provide a small cup of pony beads and the task cards for your child to complete the turkey patterns.
Encourage them to build the patterns.
For an older child, see if he/she can build the next sequence!
And I highly recommend you laminate the task cards for future use; this activity can be thrown in a resealable bag and it makes for a great busy bag activity to pull out when you need your child to do something on his/her own!

FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. — Another loss on the road in the Southeastern Conference left Kentucky ... what? Demoralized? Perplexed? Resigned? Wild-eyed mad?
After Arkansas beat UK 77-76 in overtime Wednesday night, Coach John Calipari let reporters know his preferred reaction.
"You'd have to ask them," he said of the UK players' reaction. "I know I'm angry."
Bringing about the proper response to a historic sixth SEC road loss is part of coaching, Calipari said. Since the SEC went to divisional play in 1991-92, no Kentucky team had lost six road games. That the losses have come by a total of 18 points only heightened the frustration.
"You've got to get sick and tired of it," Calipari said, "and change it. Sometimes you've got to get angry with each other."
When asked which player or players should go ballistic on his teammates and say he's not going to take it any more, Calipari said softly, "Probably Brandon would be the only one."
Freshman Brandon Knight did nearly everything else for Kentucky this night. He scored a career-high 26 points.
But a career-high 43 minutes might have contributed to his and Kentucky's undoing. After missing two shots to win it in the final seconds of regulation, Knight missed three more potential game-winners in the final seconds of overtime.
"He might have been a little fatigued," said Arkansas guard Rotnei Clarke, whose 26 points led the Hogs.
Calipari, who voiced his anger about rebounds the Cats did not secure, rejected fatigue as a factor.
"Rotnei Clarke played as many minutes as Brandon played," the UK coach said. (Actually Clarke played one more minute than Knight.) "And he was pretty fresh."
Arkansas Coach John Pelphrey became the first former UK player besides C.M. Newton to beat Kentucky.
"I can't tell you what we did except compete," Pelphrey said. "Nobody in this league is going to let you win. You have to win the game."
That reinforced Calipari's point about willpower as Kentucky fell to 19-8 overall and 7-6 in the SEC. The latter leaves the Cats tied with Tennessee for fourth place in the Eastern Division.
Arkansas improved to 17-10 overall and 6-7 in the SEC.
Senior Marcus Britt put Arkansas ahead 77-76 with 12.4 seconds left in overtime. Britt completed an Arkansas fast-break with a layup after Knight lost the ball.
"I thought my arm got hit," Knight said of his turnover. "But you can't complain about the calls."
Kentucky still had a chance to win it. Actually, three chances. The Cats called time to plot the finish.
Knight got off a fairly quick contested driving shot and it was short. When Arkansas could not secure the rebound, Knight got the ball back and got off a heavily contested jumper from the left baseline. It, too, was short. But, again, Arkansas let the rebound slip away.
Given a third opportunity, UK called time with 1.8 seconds left. But Knight's rushed three-pointer from the left corner went long.
"Josh (Harrellson) was wide open right there on the block," Calipari said. "... We threw to the wrong guy."
But, Calipari said, rebounds that Kentucky did not secure at the end of regulation made the difference.
With Arkansas leading 66-65, Clarke missed a wild drive. But Delvon Johnson, playing with a hip pointer injury, beat Harrellson to the rebound and made the putback while being fouled by the UK big man.
With Kentucky leading 70-68, Julysses Nobles missed a driving shot with 40 seconds left. The rebound bounced free under the basket. Nobles beat Harrellson to the ball, drove back to the perimeter, gathered himself and drove to the tying score with 32.7 seconds left.
"That's why we lost," Calipari said. "They wanted it more than we wanted it. ... You either come up with the ball or lose the game."
After Knight missed the three shots at the end, Arkansas had its first victory in four overtime games this season.
"The good Lord was watching over us because he's not missing that very often," Pelphrey said of Knight.
When asked what went through his mind as Knight took shot after shot after shot to win it, Pelphrey said, "Don't remind me. ... I did not enjoy sitting there watching him keep shooting."

American e-commerce giant Amazon has reportedly approached the UK government over the possibility to test its drone deliveries in the UK, saying the US aerospace was 'over-regulated'.
The UK, transport minister Robert Goodwill said he had met with Amazon representatives recently to discuss the subject.
"I had some people from Amazon coming to see me the other day; they want to replace van deliveries with drone deliveries, and they can't do any trials in the US because they're over-regulated," Goodwill said at an at a press conference discussing driverless cars.
"So my favourite word is deregulation, and we need to make sure that wherever you are in the world, and if you want to innovate and you want to invest in this sort of technology, come to the UK because we're here to help you."
The US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) last week approved Amazon's request to trial one of its drones in the outdoor environment – a major milestone in Amazon's efforts to launch a drone delivery service, dubbed the Amazon Prime Air.
Amazon's Paul Misener wrote in a letter to the FAA in December: "Without approval of our testing in the United States, we will be forced to continue expanding our Prime Air R&D footprint abroad."
The FAA released its draft rules guiding commercial use of drones in the US in February. The regulations, requiring commercial drones to be flown only within the sight of the operator, would most likely prevent many applications including parcel deliveries. The draft rules, however, are currently under revision and will be subject to public consultation.
The line of sight requirement applies in the UK as well, as specified in the UK Civil Aviation Authority guidelines. To comply with this requirement, delivery firms would only be able to use drones within a 1,600ft distance from the warehouses.
Earlier this week, Warwickshire-based delivery FPS Distribution announced it has completed what it considered the UK's first commercial drone delivery, shipping a belt tensioner aboard a modified off-the-shelf unmanned aircraft from its centre in Sheffield to a local customer.
On Tuesday, Amazon criticized the FAA for failing to provide support for commercial drone testing, saying the US is falling behind other countries in the development due to the prohibitive measures.
Chinese internet giant Alibaba is also currently carrying out its own private trials of drone technology for deliveries.

Galumpkis.. Indian Style!
If you like it, save it!
Save and organize all of the stuff you love in one place.Got it!
If you like something…
Click the heart, it's called favoriting. Favorite the stuff you like.Got it!
Author Notes: About Galumpkis, this is a traditional East European dish made with cabbage. Leaves are wilted in salted water, stuffed (or should I say rolled ) with rice, meat (usually pork) and seasonings & baked or steamed till the flavors have blended. This is a staple dish in a lot of Slavic countries like Croatia.
Swiss Chard makes for a fabulous substitute for spinach in all Indian dishes, once the crunchy celery like central vein has been removed. the leaves are also a bit more sturdy compared to the delicate spinach leaves, and will not fall apart as easily when subjected to extended cooking.
This offering is a tribute to the culinaryl mecca that New Delhi truly is. The foods that rule in Autumn with the chilly nip in the air are Makki di roti, Sarson da saag, not to forget the streetside chaatwaalas selling charcoal baked sweet potatoes smoky flavored & redolent with the incomparable taste of chaat masala & lime.
Here is my interpretation of Galumpkis, a baked saag stuffed with marinaded paneer & served over a bed of rice. with a side of sweet potato fries seasoned with lime & chaat masala.
Serves: 3-4
large leaves of swiss chard
ounces block of Paneer
tablespoon canola oil
pinch asafetida powder
Cayenne pepper to taste
Salt to taste
medium sized onion
cups Cashew nuts (depending upon how sweet you prefer the gravy)
clove garlic
small green chillies OR 1 deseeded jalapeno
inch piece fresh ginger root
tablespoon ghee
tablespoon oil
teaspoon garam masala
cup 1 % or skim milk
- Using a vegetable peeler cut thin slices of paneer into a mixing bowl. Add the oil, salt, chilli powder and asafetida & toss well till the spices are evenly distributed over the paneer slices. Cover & set aside in the refrigerator for ~ 1-2 hr till the flavors have set in.
- Remove the central white colored vein of the chard leaf. Dip the leaf in scalding water for ~ 10 s till the leaf wilts (alternatively, you may steam them for ~ 30 s).
- Pat the leaf dry and place 3-4 slices of the marinaded paneer . Roll the leaf over the paneer as one would for a spring roll.
- Grind all the gravy ingredients, except for the oil, ghee, turmeric, garam masala & milk, to a paste. In a skillet, heat the ghee & oil. add the paste & cook on a low heat till the raw smell of the onion disappears. Add the turmeric and garam masala & mix well. Continue to cook on a low flame till the oil/ghee begins oozing out of the paste.
- Gradually add the milk and whisk to eliminate lumps. Cook down to a thick gravy consistency.
- Preheat the oven to 350 F. Pour a thin layer of the makhani gravy at the bottom of an ovenproof dish and spread evenly.
- Arrange the paneer/chard rolls seam side down in the dish.
- Pour the remaining gravy over the rolls, cover with aluminum foil with a few slits to let out steam. and place in the oven for ~ 20 minutes.
- To serve, carefully remove & place the rolls over a bed of Basmati rice. Serve with a side of fried sweet potato seasoned with lime & chaat masala.

Bunge takes stake in Vietnam port
Bunge Asia, the Asian operating arm of agribusiness giant Bunge Limited (NYSE: BG), has taken a 50% stake in the owner/operator of Vietnam's Phu My Port.
The port is located on the Thi Vai River, approximately 70 km from Ho Chi Minh City and near a large number of commercial feed mill operations. It is the only commercial dry bulk port in Vietnam capable of receiving large, Panamax-class ships.
In 2004, Bunge secured exclusive access to the port for shipments of agricultural commodities. Acquiring an ownership stake will enable Bunge to invest alongside its partners to expand the operation's capacity and traffic. Plans call for adding new storage facilities and more efficient discharging equipment that should increase capacity significantly in the next several years. Bunge is developing plans to construct a soybean processing plant within the site as well.
The transaction involves the acquisition of SSI Logistics, the French subsidiary of France's state-owned SSI/EMC Group. SSI Logistics owns a 50% stake in Baria Serece, the owner/operator of Phu My Port.
Bunge says the investment gives it with greater opportunity to serve customers in the growing market for agricultural commodities in Vietnam--a fast growing market for soybean meal and other agricultural commodities. Market forecasts call for aggregate volumes of soybean meal, corn and wheat imports to increase by approximately 10% per year over the next five years.

Los Angeles: "Fifty Shades of Grey" star Jamie Dornan says he isn`t comfortable when he`s asked to get naked for movies and photoshoots.
The 32-year-old, who has shot numerous nude scenes in the film, says he doesn`t enjoy stripping in front of lots of people and found it tough filming the sex scenes in the forthcoming erotica drama, reports femalefirst.co.uk.
When asked about filming the sex scenes, Dornan told Time Out magazine: "It`s work. There`s no other way to approach it (than) just accepting that you`re doing intimate things with lots of people you don`t know well in a room with you.
"The physical side of it, the nakedness, that was still hard."
Dornan further said that during his modelling days, he used to avoid being captured naked.
"I tried my best not to end up naked too much when I was modelling. I`m never entirely comfortable with that, although Google Images would probably deny that fact," he said.
"I`ve never seen a picture of myself with my shirt off and thought, `That looks good`," he added.

Brothers Danny & Dorry Kordahi are the two founding partners of DKM Blue.
The two eldest children of migrant parents, Danny and Dorry were formerly Directors of DK Blue and DKM respectively, the entities which in 2009 merged to form DKM BLUE.
Brothers Danny & Dorry Kordahi are the two founding partners of DKM Blue.
The two eldest children of migrant parents, Danny and Dorry were formerly Directors of DK Blue and DKM respectively, the entities which in 2009 merged to form DKM BLUE.
Dorry is a well-known businessman and entrepreneur who started his company from nothing while still in in his twenties. He has won numerous business awards and made many television appearances.
He is the author of 'The Power to Act' and co-author of The Wealth Diaries as well as being the founding editor and proprietor of Australia's highest circulating promotional products magazine 'Branded'.
At just 36 he was listed as one of the hundred young rich in Australia by BRW.
Under Dorry's guidance DKM Blue has become one of the most successful companies in its field and in addition to its core business of merchandise now has a thriving corporate clothing division and owns or licenses nine different fashion labels.
Despite all this he remains, when not travelling the globe, 'hands-on' and works with his team on a daily basis.
And the compulsion to succeed which has seen him reach the heights upon which he currently sits show no signs of diminishing.
His next move is gradually take his select stable of fashion brands to the international market with a host of new e-commerce sites. But he still has time to mentor budding entrepreneurs on a pro-bono basis.
Prior to co-founding DKM Blue, Danny had his own highly successful promotional and corporate clothing company which he started with nothing more than 'An upturned bucket as a desk, a laptop computer and a truckload of ambition!'
That ambition culminated in his company having offices around the world and a portfolio of clients global giants, such as Mercedes-Benz and John Deere that became the envy of his peers.
A highly respected entrepreneur who was in the vanguard of e-commerce innovators he is the recipient of numerous, prestigious business awards, both for his corporate and personal achievements.
His particular focus in the world of e-commerce has been to pioneer B2B systems that allow corporations to purchase, manage inventory and cost centres even to tracking individuals' purchase cycles.
It is telling testament to this multi-tiered system that one of the first companies to adopt it was Microsoft. A client that happily migrated to DKM Blue when Danny founded it and remains to this day.
Danny has been the president of the Sydney E.O. and a Small Business Ambassador for American Express.

Q: At least once a week, I experience a bout of dizziness. The room spins and I feel like I will fall. It's very sudden and random. The only thing I take is 5 mg of melatonin at night to help me sleep. Have you ever heard of melatonin causing this type of dizziness?
A: The episodes of dizziness you describe sound like vertigo.
Like you, people with vertigo experience a sensation that the room is spinning. Or they may feel that they are spinning in the room. Sometimes it's just a sense of imbalance. Vertigo may be associated with nausea, vomiting, and ringing in one or both ears (tinnitus).

Quick Reference
Palaeo‐Indian hunter‐gatherer cultures living in the eastern parts of North America (from Nova Scotia to Florida) in the period around 8600 bc. Characterized by a series of chipped stone fluted points, most of which were probably knife blades. Those groups living in the more northerly regions were mainly caribou hunters, but those in more southerly regions would have used forest game and wild plant foods. At least seven styles of fluted point are known in the northeastern part of the area, some with constricted blades, some with pentagonal shapes, some long and narrow, others almost triangular in outline. Some show similarities with the western Clovis and Folsom points and they are assumed to be of approximately the same age.

Free Software Foundation chairman and all around computer freedom guru Richard Stallman has written an article for the BBC entitled 'It's not the Gates, it's the bars'.
But Gates didn't invent proprietary software, and thousands of other companies do the same thing. It's wrong, no matter who does it.
Microsoft, Apple, Adobe, and the rest, offer you software that gives them power over you. A change in executives or companies is not important. What we need to change is this system.
That's what the free software movement is all about. "Free" refers to freedom: we write and publish software that users are free to share and modify.
We do this systematically, for freedom's sake; some of us paid, many as volunteers. We already have complete free operating systems, including GNU/Linux.
If you've read up on Stallman's views on the issue of proprietary software, most of that article simply reiterates the points he makes about the perils of proprietary software and how free software is meant to put the user back in control and give them freedom.
In a sense, it's just the same old mantra being regurgitated, but using Bill Gates' recent departure from an active role at Microsoft as a reason to bring up the issue.
I did think it was interesting, though, that Stallman has got an article on the BBC News Technology website. The overwhelming majority of computer users have no idea of the concept of free software (at least in the way that RMS means it) and using a reputable and very popular news source to get his message out.
If you're new to the FOSS world and haven't read Stallman's views on this issue, it's definitely worth a read to get his and the FSF's view. I don't for a minute expect everyone to agree on everything, and it obviously doesn't necessarily reflect the viewpoints of the whole community. There's a wide spectrum of differing views on whether proprietary software is a good thing and motivations for building and using free software.
For those of us who are familiar, I thought it would be interesting to point out the use of this channel to get the message out, as it's certainly something I don't remember seeing before.

Windows 7 RC1 Build 7100
Formated Drive and erased Master Boot Record
I'll get right to it cause this is serious for me and I screwed up royaly. My original OS Windows 7 was on a normal hard drive and I installed a second copy of Windows 7 on a new SSD drive that I got and used it as my primary and left everything on the old one just didn't delete it. When the time came for me to finally say bye bye to all the previous items on the former drive since I was now using the SSD for OS and applications I formated using the Win7 startup disc. I cannot boot from the SSD nor does it even show in Device Manager (I'm gonna check the connections for that) This information is still recoverable I know but what's the best way to go about it. Will I be able to use the SSD to boot widows again if I repair this one thing? Can I at least get my files back somehow? Any help is appreciated...Thanks

Leaders of Libya's National Transitional Council are urging civilians in Gadhafi-held areas to come over to their side, vowing no revenge will be taken.
With NTC troops poised outside the pro-Gadhafi towns of Sirte and Bani Walid, NTC deputy chairman Ali Tarhouni promised residents their security would be assured.
Speaking in Tripoli Saturday, Tarhouni said forces loyal to the provisional government have not perpetrated any acts of vengeance and have treated their rivals with civility. He added that even those who had "blood on their hands" would be treated according to legal norms. Tarhouni stressed that justice would be made more regular in coming days, announcing a new council to deal with security in Tripoli and the fate of prisoners.
His promise follows several acts of apparent revenge against Gadhafi loyalists. The execution-style slaying of those troops in the early days of the rebels' capture of the capital has been overshadowed by atrocities alleged to have been committed by Gadhafi forces. But the future of prisoners from sub-Saharan Africa suspected of being mercenaries remained unclear.
Tarhouni said officials are in the process of securing them in a safe place, but had not decided whether they should be sent back to their home countries or tried in Libya.
As for the final push to take control of Gadhafi-held territories, Tarhouni said there had been no movement on either Sirte or Bani Walid for two days and he was optimistic that there could be a negotiated end to the stand-off. He added he had reports that the people of Bani Walid "possibly" will join the NTC's side but gave no further details.
The NTC has extended a deadline for all opponents to lay down arms until next Saturday. There is widespread hope among NTC officials they can avoid laying siege to civilian areas.
Turkey's ambassador to the new Libya echoed that sentiment Saturday calling on ousted leader Moammar Gadhafi to give up. " We should avoid further bloodshed. There is enough blood unfortunately in LIbya. Actually all along we thought Gadhafi and his family should transfer power to the Libyan people," he said.
Ali Kemal Aydin added that Mr. Gadhafi should surrender to the justice of the Libyan people. Justice and reconciliation seem to be two constant themes on the streets of Tripoli.
One elderly resident said he was determined not to repeat the injustices of the Gadhafi years. "Just because he was bad, doesn't mean we have to be," he said.
It's a promise that the people of Sirte, Bani Walid and other areas beyond the NTC's control must hope the council and its supporters will keep.
