Fatal LAPD shooting involved ex-college football player/model
The man Los Angeles police officers shot in Playa Vista during a scuffle Friday was identified as a former college football player.
Reginald Doucet Jr., 25, played defensive back at El Camino College and Middle Tennessee State University.
According to his Middle Tennessee State biography, Doucet was 6 feet tall and weighed 190 pounds when he played there. Raised in Prunedale, Calif., he was a track and football star at North Monterey County High School, where he also played basketball, his biography says.
Doucet played junior college football at El Camino College near Torrance before winning a scholarship to Middle Tennessee State. Doucet more recently worked as a personal fitness trainer and part-time model, said his neighbor and former agent, Chris Ellison. Doucet was single but has a daughter who is 3 or 4 years old. KTLA-TV (Channel 5) reported Doucet also worked as a model.
The shooting occurred about 3:30 a.m. when two patrol officers responded to a disturbance call in the 5200 block of Crescent Park West and found a naked man "yelling and behaving erratically," according to an LAPD statement.
Police said the officers attempted to calm the agitated man and talked him into putting on his boxer shorts, but he ran when they tried to apprehend him. They approached him again, but he ran once more.
"When the officers tried a third time to detain the suspect in the apartment complex doorway, the suspect immediately attacked both officers," the statement said. "The suspect repeatedly punched both officers in the face and head and at one point tried to take one of the officer's guns."
That's when one of the officers, identified only as a male with 17 months in the department, shot Doucet twice, police said. He died at a hospital.

Three-Member Team Hopes to Reach Summit in May;
Objective is Raising Awareness of AIDS Pandemic in Africa
MILPITAS, CALIFORNIA, April 14, 2008 - Equipped with portable electronic devices that range from high-definition camcorders to satellite-based mobile phones, a three-member climbing team sponsored by Dell (PRODUCT) RED + Windows Vista (PRODUCT) RED, MSN and MSNBC - and carrying a variety of flash-memory products from SanDisk Corporation (NASDAQ: SNDK) - is on the flanks of Mt. Everest hoping to reach the summit as part of a campaign to call attention to AIDS in Africa.
Everest Team INSPI (RED), led by Jeff Dossett of Washington state, who is executive producer and general manager of the MSN Media Network, hopes to scale the 29,035-foot peak by late May. The effort is aimed at raising awareness for (RED), an initiative that partners with companies such as Dell, Windows and other major brands to help eliminate AIDS in Africa.
The climbers are chronicling their ascent with digital cameras and camcorders loaded with high-performance SanDisk® flash memory cards, including SanDisk Extreme® Ducati Edition, SanDisk Extreme® IV and SanDisk Extreme® III CompactFlash® cards - which are designed for rugged use and wide temperature ranges -- and the new Sandisk VideoHD™ SDHC™ cards. The expedition also has SanDisk® microSD™ cards for their mobile satellite phones, SanDisk Cruzer® Titanium USB flash drives for file backups and SanDisk Sansa® Clip audio players to help pass long nights spent in their tents.
The other members of the Everest team, all residents of the Pacific Northwest, are professional mountaineering guides Dave Morton and Melissa Arnot. Morton has reached the summit of Everest four times and has climbed extensively in the Himalayas, South America, the Cascades, Alaska and Russia. Arnot guides on Mt. Rainier in Washington and on other peaks worldwide, and is a trainer of wilderness emergency medical technicians with Remote Medical International
"We're pleased that SanDisk is supporting our team with its high-performance flash memory products," said Dossett before the group left the United States for Nepal in late March. "Professional photographers and expeditions worldwide have relied on SanDisk's pioneering technology in flash memory, and SanDisk has established its reputation for creating durable products that perform well in challenging environments."
Video camcorders are among the team's most important gear. They are taking helmet cams and handheld camcorders, including Canon's new VIXIA HF10 Dual Flash Memory high-definition model that records to both internal memory and SD™/SDHC flash cards. Other gear includes the Canon VIXIA HV30 HD video camcorders, a Canon EOS 5D Digital SLRl camera, a Canon PowerShot SD870 IS, Nikon D300 and D80 still cameras, Motorola (PRODUCT) RED SLVR mobile phones, and Dell (PRODUCT) RED XPS 1330 laptop computers. They also are equipped with portable recharging devices to keep their gear operational.
Dossett, serving as a first-person "citizen journalist," is sending regular dispatches to various websites, including http://JOINRED.SPACES.LIVE.com and www.MSN.com.
The climbers are currently at Everest's South Base Camp, which is located at an elevation of 17,600 feet and is practically a tent city of expedition activity during the short climbing season. There, the team intends to spend several days adjusting to the altitude before proceeding to four smaller camps along the southeast ridge. At Camp IV, which is on the treacherous South Col at 26,000 feet, they will have only a couple of days to assess weather conditions and decide if they can attempt the final leg of the climb. Reaching the summit at more than 3,000 feet higher requires climbers to leave around midnight since the effort can take 10 or 12 hours.
Dossett, 47, a Canadian citizen who is originally from Toronto, has reached the top of Everest once before, in 2004, when he became the 87th person in history and the third Canadian ever to complete the "Seven Summits," reaching the summit of the highest mountain on every continent. Commenting on his support of (RED), Dossett said, "I had to do something. When I met with (U2 band leader) Bono to talk about (RED) last December, I told him that I can't sing, but I can climb mountains. This is what I was inspired to do. Our Everest Team INSPI (RED) hopes to inspire others to do what they can, purchase (PRODUCT) RED and raise awareness to help people living with HIV AIDS in Africa."

The Year of the Dragon could be a challenging time for Asian countries as uncertainties – from within and without the region – are growing rapidly. As such, a calm, sensible, and prudent approach is needed to ensure Asia's steady economic and development transformation.
MANILA – This is the year of the "Black Water Dragon," an astrological cycle that indicates change, but with a measure of calm, sensibility, and prudence. The people and governments of Asia certainly hope that this proves to be the case, but uncertainties – from within and without the region – are growing rapidly.
Developing Asia has performed relatively well over the past two years. It led the world out of the 2008-2009 "Great Recession," recording 9 percent average economic growth in 2010 and solidifying that recovery by laying the basis for a more moderate – and, one hopes, sustainable –pace of economic expansion. In 2011, despite Europe's debt struggles and an anemic recovery in the United States, developing Asia's economies grew at a more restrained but still strong 7.5 percent average rate.
The biggest economic risk to the region is that Europe hits a financial tripwire and plummets into a deep recession, or that the US recovery stagnates during this election year. Volatility has come to define market behaviour, and Asian markets are no exception. Investor sentiment seems driven by daily events rather than longer-term trends.

Related: China vs. India – Is Either Economy At Risk? : Stephen Roach
Still, for the most part, developing Asia has little external financial vulnerability. Many countries continue to run current-account surpluses, and have low external debt and high foreign reserves. Most of the region's banking systems are sound, with a high capital base and low – for now, at least – non-performing-loan ratios.
This gives Asia more room to manoeuvre in the event of a crisis, and policymakers would likely respond with available macroeconomic tools promptly and decisively, and collaborate regionally. But we must not forget that – as 2008 showed – Asia has not decoupled from the West.
That is why European leaders must speak and act responsibly, and work harder to resolve the crisis. Europe clearly has the political and financial potential to resolve its own difficulties, with the help of European and multilateral financial institutions.
But perhaps there is something that Europe can learn from Asia. In Asia's response to the 1997-1998 Asian financial crisis, policymakers adopted measures designed to contract, consolidate, and restructure affected financial systems, particularly banking. It was not easy, but the external environment at the time was conducive to recovery. A decade later, Asia had sufficient savings and fiscal space to stimulate a rapid, solid recovery when the global economy sputtered. Europe, too, must embrace a costly and painful adjustment process as an opportunity to fix its system.
That means that developing Asia must escalate its efforts at rebalancing growth by reducing reliance on exports and increasing domestic spending, which would help to prop up import demand. The major challenge is to keep domestic demand growing, despite the region's strong links to the global economy. Doing so would benefit national economies, bolster regional development, and support global growth.

If Asia can overcome its short-term difficulties, and global financial markets stabilize, the region faces bright prospects. Annual GDP growth this year will likely sustain last year's momentum and remain above 7 percent. A recent Asian Development Bank study estimates that Asia could account for about 52 percent of the global economy by 2050. But that is not a pre-ordained outcome.
In the medium term, Asia faces several challenges, a key one being rising inequality. Years of rapid economic growth have given rise to growing disparities. In urban China, for example, the Gini coefficient, a 100-point index that measures income inequality, has risen from 25.6 in 1990 to 34.8 in 2005. This is unlike the region's past experience in the 1980's and 1990's, when high growth was accompanied by declining inequality.
As a result, domestic inequities now pose major risks to social stability and could hamper long-term growth prospects. That is why governments should seek to ensure that growth is inclusive, with benefits that are widely shared, including by women and the poor, and that these benefits reach isolated areas. Asia's rapidly aging populations also require social protection, and strengthening access to healthcare and education could help the rebalancing process and contribute to global recovery.

Growing inequality is not just an Asian issue. Inequality in Asia rose after the financial crisis of 1997-1998, and Europe will not be immune to that pattern. Europeans, too, should take steps to ensure that recovery from the current crisis is marked by inclusive growth.
As we enter the Year of the Dragon, Asia's best contribution may be a calm, sensible, and prudent approach to mitigating any potential global crisis by continuing its steady economic and development transformation.

Which Google Link Analysis Approach May Have Changed?
In the Google Inside Search blog, Google's Amit Singhal published a post titled Search quality highlights: 40 changes for February that told us about many changes to how Google ranks pages, including the following:
Link evaluation. We often use characteristics of links to help us figure out the topic of a linked page. We have changed the way in which we evaluate links; in particular, we are turning off a method of link analysis that we used for several years. We often rearchitect or turn off parts of our scoring in order to keep our system maintainable, clean and understandable.
I decided to look at different link analysis methods that Google has used in the past to try to identify one that they may have stopped using. I couldn't decide which one they may have stopped, but it was interesting seeing all of these in one place.
A lot of people were guessing which "method of link analysis" might have been changed, from PageRank being turned off, to anchor text being devalued, to Google ignoring rel="nofollow" attributes in links, to others. I was asked my opinion by a few people and mentioned that there were a number of potential approaches that Google might have changed.
I've made a list of a dozen possibilities and granted Google patents that describe them, but Google uses link analysis in a lot of ways, and what Google turned off might involve something else entirely, and/or something that might not even be described in a patent.
Here's my list:
1. Local Inter-connectivity
Search Results are ranked normally in response to a query, and then before they are displayed to searchers, the links between the pages in that smaller subset are explored and some results may be boosted in the results based upon links between those results.
The book In the Plex mentions that the inventor behind this patent, Krishna Bharat, developed an algorithm similar to the HITS algorithm that was incorporated into what Google does in 2003. This patent was granted in 2003, and it's similar in a number of ways to the HITS algorithm.
This process might be somewhat unnecessary these days, especially if Google is reranking search results based on something like the co-occurrence of terms in a result set based upon phrase-based indexing. – Ranking search results by reranking the results based on local inter-connectivity
2. Finding Related Sites
If you perform a search that appears to be for a specific site, you might see a list of other pages at the bottom of the search results, with a heading (that's also a link) that heads "Pages similar to www.example.com". If you click upon it, you'll see search results for [related:www.example.com], The method that determined which pages were related was based upon links pointing at those pages using a link-based analysis.
Could Google have found a better way f finding related pages? It's possible, but the pages showing don't seem to have changed. – Techniques for finding related hyperlinked documents using link-based analysis
3. Adaptive Page Rank
This patent describes a faster approach to calculating PageRank, taking some shortcuts. It can take a while to calculate PageRank, and a method like the one described here could speed that up.
Google has a lot more pages indexed now than they did when the patent behind this approach was filed, and they may still need this shortcut. They've also advanced technologically, and may not. – Adaptive computation of ranking
4. Cross Language Information Retrieval
It might be possible to use anchor text from a link on a page in one language to understand what webpage that link is pointing to in another language, to understand what the targeted page is about.
Google has done a lot of work in building statistical machine translation models over the past 5-7 years and that technology might serve them better than an approach like this one. – Systems and methods for using anchor text as parallel corpora for cross-language information retrieval
5. Link Based Clustering
Google has probably clustered similar web pages by looking at other pages that link to pages appearing in search results, and seeing what other pages they link to.
Google might have replaced this clustering approach with one that focuses instead more upon the content and/or the concepts contained on those pages. – Link based clustering of hyperlinked documents
6. Personalized PageRank Scoring
Determining personalized page scores for web pages based upon links pointing to pages that appear for specific queries in search results and whether the anchor text in those links are related to those query terms.
Google might use a different approach, such as one that may look at large amounts of data about searchers, pages, and queries to calculate a personalized page score for pages. – Personalizing anchor text scores in a search engine
7. Anchor Text Indexing
Using anchor text for links to determine the relevance of the pages they point towards. It's quite likely that Google continues to use an approach like this, but in a modified manner that might be influenced by things like phrase-based indexing – Anchor tag indexing in a web crawler system
8. Link Analysis using Historical Data
In 2005, Google published a patent application that describes a wide range of temporal-based factors related to links, such as the appearance and disappearance of links, the increase and decrease of backlinks to documents, weights to links based upon freshness, weights to links based upon authoritativeness of the documents linked from, age of links, spikes in link growth, relatedness of anchor text to page being pointed to overtime.
Google may have used some of the factors described in this patent and continue to use them or replaced them with something else, and it might have ignored others, – Information retrieval based on historical data
9. Link Weights based upon Page Segmentation
We've known for a few years that Google will give different weights for links based upon segments of a page where a link is located. It's quite likely that something like this might continue to be used today, but it might have been modified in some manner, such as limiting in some way the amount of value a link might pass along if, for instance, it appears in the footers on multiple pages of a site.
Then again, Google probably has already been doing that. – Document segmentation based on visual gaps
10. Reasonable Surfer Model Link Features
Google's Reasonable Surfer model describes a good number of features that might be taken together to determine how much value a link might pass along from a page in relation to other links on that page, and it's possible that one or more of those values are no longer considered in a way that they might have been in the past. – Ranking documents based on user behavior and/or feature data
11. Links between Affiliated Sites
Some sites may be deemed to be related or affiliated, to others in some manner, such as being owned by the same person or people. The value of those links might be diminished because of that relationship, in comparison to other "editorially determined links."
How that affiliation is calculated might have changed. – Determining quality of linked documents
12. Propagation of Relevance between Linked Pages
Assigning relevance of one web page to other web pages could be based upon the distance of clicks between the pages and/or certain features in the content of anchor text or URLs. For example, if one-page links to another with the word "contact" or the word "about", and the page being linked to include an address, that address location might be considered relevant to the page doing that linking.
There are a few different parts to this method of having the relevance of one page on a site propagated to other pages on the same site, and one or more of those could have changed if it is in use. – Propagating useful information among related web pages, such as web pages of a website
What "method of link analysis" do you think Google turned off?

FRANKFURT -- How hot is Tesla? The California electric-vehicle maker drew a jostling crowd of perhaps 100 journalists for its press conference at the Frankfurt auto show Tuesday without the benefit of a new car to show.
Tesla executives touted the Model S, now on sale in Europe. But much of their time was spent talking about the network of 120 kilowatt "superchargers" it plans to build in Europe, as it is doing in the United States.
It's pretty clear that Tesla's solution to the snail's pace of EV charger deployment is characteristically brash: It's building its own infrastructure.
"We're going to be expanding it aggressively in this coming year," said Diarmuid O'Connell, vice president of business development.
Tesla has put a ring of chargers in Norway already, allowing easier travel throughout that hotbed of EV enthusiasm.
The chargers can restore a lithium ion battery to 50 percent charge in about 20 minutes, O'Connell said.
Tesla has said that it will have sufficient chargers in the United States in 2014 to allow travel up and down the East and West coasts, as well as coast-to-coast travel. Beyond that, it will install chargers -- available for free use -- as pockets of Tesla buyers pop up throughout the United States.
Asked how big the network will get, O'Connell said, "My answer is, I don't know but it will be whatever it needs to be."

Curse of the Mummy meets the Air Pirates
The colorful crew of the Ketty Jay is back for a third installment of the tale named The Iron Jackal. Captain Frey is famous after the happenings in book two and although he enjoys the advantage it gives with the ladies it makes it hard to fly under the radar as an air pirate.
The series is best described as retro futuristic steampunk about the competent but unlucky crew of the airship Ketty Jay. They usually get involved in some money making scheme that unfolds in unexpected ways with great repercussions in the world around them. Lately they uncovered secrets about a cult that threatens to throw the country into civil war. The story usually has multiple main characters but the cast is limited and the focus is mainly on one or two in each book, which I like.
This time the caper goes off as planed but giving Frey a mysterious box and tell him not to open it might not be the smartest thing. You can probably figure where things head after that.
Frey's charming maybe-affair with the deadly Trinica continues to unfold with many ups and downs. He is totally clueless in a way I enjoy to read and I say that as a man. Frey continues his development from selfish narcissist towards something more human in this novel. I really like the characters Chris Wooding has made. This time Frey and one of the pilots gets more room to develop.
Jez the half-mane is my favorite character. I have a soft spot for female protagonist with exotic powers which is especially true this time as Jez does a River Tam on the opposition at one time. You Firefly lovers will know what I mean when you read it the rest should go see Firefly and then read the book. It has a lot in common with the Tales of the Ketty Jay. Jez is not as prominent here as before but there are interesting developments for her too.
The best words to describe The Iron Jackal are Curse of the Mummy meets the Air Pirates. It is a fun action filled romp I greatly enjoyed. Chris you have made it again and I love your new book!
Book Information
The Iron Jackal (Tale of the Ketty Jay 3) by Chris Wooding (Gollancz 2011) – Amazon US | UK
Things are finally looking good for Captain Frey and his crew. The Ketty Jay has been fixed up good as new. They've got their first taste of fortune and fame. And, just for once, nobody is trying to kill them. Even Trinica Dracken, Frey's ex-fiancee and long-time nemesis, has given up her quest for revenge. In fact, she's offered them a job – one that will take them deep into the desert heart of Samarla, the land of their ancient enemies. To a place where the secrets of the past lie in wait for the unwary. Secrets that might very well cost Frey everything. Join the crew of the Ketty Jay on their greatest adventure yet: a story of mayhem and mischief, roof-top chases and death-defying races, murderous daemons, psychopathic golems and a particularly cranky cat. The first time was to clear his name. The second time was for money. This time, Frey's in a race against the clock for the ultimate prize: to save his own life.

NMMA CertificationNMMA is dedicated to creating, promoting and protecting an environment where members can achieve financial success through excellence in manufacturing, in selling, and in servicing their customers...
To fulfill this mission, NMMA will devote its resources to:
- Public policy advocacy
- Marketing
- Quality Assurance
- Resources & Data
Programs and ServicesNMMA today provides a wide variety of programs and services tailored to member needs: technical expertise, standards monitoring, government relations avocation, industry statistics and more.
Boat shows have become the industry's premier marketing tool; NMMA produces shows in key North American markets to provide quality showplaces for exhibitors and consumers.
To bring retailers and wholesalers together with American and international marine manufacturers, NMMA stages two extraordinary trade shows, IBEX and the Marine Aftermarket Accessories Trade Show (MAATS), each fall. NMMA is also active internationally with world marine trade organizations to promote and protect the sport of recreational boating.
When you're out on the water, NMMA's commitment to safety makes a big difference. With a certified boat, we believe you can be assured of the quality of the safety features of your craft — inside and out. After all, on the outside, most boats look similar with shiny hulls, bright colors, and fancy upholstery. But it's hard to get a good look at the critical components inside, like the fuel system, electrical systems, steering, flotation and ventilation.
Many — but not all — boats are required to meet a set of minimum manufacturing regulations established by the U.S. Coast Guard. The manufacturers of the majority of the nation's recreational boats don't think these minimum requirements are good enough, and they don't think consumers should be satisfied with them either. That's why they participate in the more stringent NMMA Certification Program.
NMMA verifies annually, or whenever a new product is introduced, boat model to determine that they satisfy not only the minimum U.S. Coast Guard Regulations but also the more rigorous standards based on those established by the American Boat & Yacht Council. So just look for the NMMA certification verification on the capacity label. The accompanying chart compares the U.S. Coast Guard Regulations to the higher standards used by NMMA to inspect and certify boats.
Boat Certification ProgramThe National Marine Manufacturers Association has developed certification programs to help manufacturers comply with established standards and safety regulations, and to help to inform the public of such compliance when purchasing equipment. The NMMA program certifies that the design meets the standards outlined in the NMMA Certification Handbook. The manufacturer has the responsibility of assuring that production units are manufactured in compliance with the certified design.
Both the administrative and technical details of these programs (formerly BIA certifications) are incorporated in the handbook. The boat standards used are based on Standards and Recommended Practices for Small Craft published by the:
American Boat and Yacht Council (ABYC)
3069 Solomons Island Road
Edgewater, MD 21037
The standards used in NMMA Certification Programs are subject to change in accordance with Federal Standards if they change during the model year indicated in the title for which these requirements apply.
In 1968, BIA inaugurated a certification program for boat manufacturers covering horsepower and load capacity, flotation, steering and fuel systems, compartment ventilation, navigation lights and backfire flame control.
A manufacturer participating in this program must certify all models under 26 feet in length (except boats built and advertised as intended for racing) as fitted with all factory supplied equipment on a model year basis. BIA's thirty year old boat capacity rating program is incorporated into certification covering load and horsepower capacity and flotation.
Inspectors from nationally recognized independent inspection agencies or NMMA staff visit the manufacturer, check for the NMMA capacity and flotation ratings, and physically inspect each model for compliance with all boat certification standards contained in the handbook.
Builders desiring to participate in this program should contact NMMA for capacity and flotation rating applications and a Certification application.
Different capacity applications are used for different types of boats as follows:
- Outboard and Non-Powered boats (includes canoes and sailboats)
- Inboard, I/O and Sea Drive boats
- Pontoon boats
- Inflatable boats (includes sailboards)
All boat types use the same Boat Certification Application. The level flotation test report form is provided to report the results of level flotation testing.

In San Francisco, the sudden collapse of the citywide police dragnet brought new shivers of panic to an already frightened citizenry.
Many whites stopped going outdoors after dark. Even police officers frequently looked over their shoulders as evening approached.
Some whites–especially in the heavily Italian North Beach area–began talking about spreading vigilante terror among blacks.
And the murder-spree affected the city financially: The tourist trade–on which San Francisco depended for so much of its revenue–sharply declined.
The reaction of blacks was entirely different.
During the manhunt for the notorious "Zodiac" serial killer in the late 1960s, San Francisco police had relied heavily on dragnets and interrogations of young white men resembling a composite sketch.
But blacks charged racism when the same tactic was used to hunt for the supposed lone "Zebra" gunman.
Many blacks blamed "unemployment" and "oppression" for the attacks. When interviewed by the San Francisco Examiner, none condemned the murders or expressed sympathy for their victims.
Then, on April 22, 1974, a break finally came in the case. Anthony Cornelius Harris decided to tell the police what he knew about the men responsible for the murders.
Before doing so, he visited the parents of his close friend, Larry Craig Green–who was one of the "Zebra" killers. He hoped that, through Green's mother, he could persuade his comrade to go with him to the police as a witness against the other three Death Angels.
While at the home of Green's parents, he called Green.
"I knew right there it was impossible to get him to admit to doing anything," Harris later testified. "He told me to get the hell out of his house and never to come back."
Later, Harris phoned the Black Self-Help moving and storage company where he had been working for the last six months.
One of the Muslims he spoke with was Green, who warned him: "Man, they've got a contract out to kill you, your wife and the baby."
It was then that Harris realized that he, his wife, Debra, and their newborn son had been marked for death by his former friends. There was nowhere else to go but the police if he wanted to stay alive.
So, on April 22, 1974, he came forward as a police witness.
Many police believed Harris had been one of the killers himself. He bore a strong resemblence to the suspect in a police artist's sketch: A young black man with a short Afro and pointed chin.
But Harris insisted that he hadn't murdered anyone, and that he had resisted efforts by his friends to enlist him in their murder spree. He claimed to fear for his life at the hands of his fellow Muslims.
The police immediately placed Harris and his family under round-the-clock guard.
At 5 a.m. on the morning of May 1, 1974, more than 100 police officers assembled at the San Francisco Hall of Justice. They were heavily armed–with shotguns, submachineguns and automatic rifles.
Their assignment: Arrest seven men believed responsible for the brutal series of murders known as the "Zebra" case.
At a given signal, police charged into the various homes and apartments where the suspects lay sleeping. None of the wanted men offered any resistance.
Three of the seven were soon release for lack of evidence. The remaining three–Larry Craig Green, Manuel Moore and J.C. Simon–were held at high bond.
A fourth suspect, Jessie Lee Cooks, was already serving a life sentence in prison for his admitted murder of Frances Rose, a physical therapist, on October 30, 1973.
Cooks would be charged with other "Zebra" murders by a San Francisco grand jury on May 16, 1974.
The trial began on March 3, 1975, and lasted longer than any previous one in the history of California–376 days. Testimony from 181 witnesses–115 for the prosecution–filled 13,331 pages of trial transcript.
San Francisco Superior Court
The Nation of Islam paid for the legal representation of every one of the defendants except Cooks, who had admitted to murdering Frances Rose.
On March 13, 1976, Larry Craig Green, Manuel Moore, Jessie Lee Cooks and J.C. Simon were convicted of multiple murders. All were sentenced to life in state prison.
Harris remained under heavy police guard throughout his tenure as a witness. Then he was flown to Houston, Texas, and kept under the watchful eye of the local police.
From there he moved to El Paso, and then on to Las Vegas. For a time, he came under the protection of the Justice Department's Witness Security Program.
After the trial, Harris received a portion of the $30,000 reward. Eventually he turned up in Oakland, and then ultimately disappeared.
The toll of victims taken by the "Zebra" killers had been staggering:
- Sixteen murdered
- Five wounded
- One raped
- The attempted kidnapping of three children
At the time of sentencing, San Francisco Superior Court Judge Joseph Karesh turned to a wall map showing where each of the murders had taken place.
"As I look at this map and see all these dots," said Karesh, "I hope we do not forget all these people who have been reduced to dots."

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – MIT had a good day on the rifle range as the Engineers hosted teams from John Jay College, Rose Hulman Institute of Technology and the Wentworth Institute of Technology at the MIT Shooting Center. The Engineers came away with wins against John Jay and Wentworth, but fell in close scores to Rose Hulman in both small bore and air rifle. Rose Hulman totaled a 4434 to take top overall honors, followed by MIT with 4343 and John Jay with 4242.
All of the competitions proved to be close affairs. In small bore Rose Hulman posted a 2195, followed by MIT's 2139 and John Jay's 2072. The battle for top honors among individuals was a close one, with Evan Duvall of Rose Hulman just edging out sophomore Sarah Wright (Christchurch, New Zealand) by two points, 560-558. Senior Kaiying Liao (Issaquah, Wash.) fired a 544 to finish in a tie for third overall, with sophomores David D'Achiardi (Bogota, Columbia) and Abra Shen (Toronto, Ontario) adding scores of 544 and 511 to the Engineers' total.
A number of other competitors also shot for MIT, with their scores not tallied in the team total. Tops among that group was freshman Kelly Mathesius (Aurora, Ill.) who included a prone round of 95 in her total of 485.
It was also close in air rifle where MIT, Rose Hulman and John Jay were all separated by just 68 points. The Fightin' Engineers from Rose Hulman took this one as well, edging MIT's Engineers by 34 points, 2238-2204. The John Jay Bloodhounds were third at 2179, with Wentworth, which only competed in air rifle, fourth with an 1848 total.
Freshman Jia Yi Goh (Singapore) captured top individual air rifle honors for MIT, putting together a score of 579 that included a pair of 99s in the final two rounds. Ronald Kopec from John Jay was second overall with a 575. Wright had the second best score for MIT, turning in a 563, with Liao adding a 551 and freshman Kevin Ng (Coral Springs, Fla.) a 511 to complete the MIT scoring.
As in small bore, MIT had several other competitors shoot as well. Sophomore Saya Date (Pune, India) had the top score among that group for the Engineers with a 519, with Shen also finishing above a 500 with a total of 510.
MIT will return to the range next weekend when it visits the University of the Sciences in Philadelphia.

This should be a fairly easy category to post about as I've already posted some information and tools on how to parse this information.
SANS lists the following information within the poster.
Not directly related to "File Download". Details stored for each local user account. Records number of times visited (frequency).
Location: Internet Explorer
XP %userprofile%\Local Settings\History\ History.IE5
Win7 %userprofile%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\History\History.IE5
Win7 %userprofile%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\History\Low\History.IE5
Location: Firefox
XP %userprofile%\Application Data\Mozilla\ Firefox\Profiles\<random text>.default\places.sqlite
Win7 %userprofile%\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\ Firefox\Profiles\<random text>.default\places.sqlite
For today we can easily test the tools we have by browsing to certain sites and making a note in regards to the time we viewed the site. When we run our tools we should be able to see the same time referenced by our tool. Other areas we can look at are what happens when we delete the history and whether entries remain or they're removed. Finally I wanted to touch on some of the different entries you'll find within the index.dat file which are URL / LEAK / REDR entries. I'll touch briefly on LEAK entries and link to a practical example of how we create one of these entries. This should help us associate our own experiences in future incidents where we may be responding to incidents that contain these artifacts.
Firstly lets start by browsing three websites in both Internet Explorer and Firefox and i'll show how to parse the data using Harlan Carvey's open source perl scripts and some of my own. We'll then convert these into TLN format and confirm our times with those we noted at the time we visited each site.
Here are the times I noted for each site I visited with both IE and Firefox. I know this is an unrealistic example because nobody ever users bing or yahoo right?......my poor attempt at humour, stay with me it can only get better.
www.google.com - 10:12am
www.yahoo.com - 10.12am
www.bing.com - 10.13am
Internet Explorer
www.google.com - 10.13am
www.yahoo.com - 10.14am
www.bing.com - 10.15am
I started by parsing my index.dat file with the following command, which uses Harlan's urlcache script, and producing my initial events.txt file
urlcache.pl -f "C:/Documents and Settings/username/Local Settings/History/History.IE5/index.dat" -l >> events.txt
Following that I used my own firefox.pl script and ran the following command
firefox.pl -p "C:/Documents and Settings/username/Application Data/Mozilla/Firefox/Profiles/fd9zh9ag.default" -d >> events.txt
Finally I ran Harlan's parse script to create my timeline file.
parse.pl -f events.txt -c > timeline.csv
Lets compare our timeline results with the times we listed above. Important to note is that Harlan's timeline tools produce output in UTC time. So depending which timezone you are in you may need to add a column and adjust the time to your local. I typically use a cell value such as the following =A1+TIME(#,0,0) where '#' should be replaced with the hours you wish to add.
So firstly I wanted to add that I've already had some value out of checking my own tool as you can see from the screenshot above the firefox history is in the wrong cell in comparison to Harlan's urlcache.pl script. This is pretty easy to fix and I'll resolve that as soon as I can for everyone. It shouldn't affect your timelines in any way however.
If we compare our results from the above
www.google.com - 10:12am - tln: 10:12am
www.yahoo.com - 10.12am - tln: 10.12am
www.bing.com - 10.13am - tln: 10.13.am
Internet Explorer
www.google.com - 10.13am - tln: 10.13am
www.yahoo.com - 10.14am - tln: 10.14am
www.bing.com - 10.15am - - tln: 10:15am
So the above is pretty clear that our tools are producing the output we are expecting. Again this is all fairly basic at this point but it shows now we have an understanding of what the output of our tools look like and we're confident that they're producing the correct times for us to evaluate. This can be critical in terms of your incident response as you do not want to miss an artifact because you thought your tool was providing the correct time when it was in fact off by a number of minutes or hours.
So what happens when we delete the history I presume we lose this information and our timeline should be empty. Lets test the theory by clearing all of the IE history and four hours firefox history.
I ran the same commands as I did above and as expected the last data I had was from the previous time I used the workstation and had nothing from the current day for firefox. There was also no information for Internet explorer at all. So this is worthwhile keeping in mind while you're investigating in that if the user has deleted their history you may need to go to other areas to identify sites visited. The guys at Volatility have written an excellent article on how to scan for Internet history through the use of one of their plugins.
Finally some further discussions around LEAK entries within the IE History. What are LEAK entries? Well Mike Murr from SANS classifies them as the following
"Essentially, a LEAK record is created when a cached URL entry is deleted (by calling DeleteUrlCacheEntry) and the cached file associated with the entry (a.k.a. "temporary internet file" or TIF) can not be deleted."
- http://computer-forensics.sans.org/blog/2009/09/18/is-your-index-dat-file-leaking
The above article discusses an easy way to create a LEAK entry. Mike also discusses in more detail at the following link on how to create LEAK entries using some Python scripts which are unfortunately unavailable due to dead links but you should be able to recreate it if required.
- http://www.forensicblog.org/the-meaning-of-leak-records/
Again if you would like access to my firefox script you can grab it from the following

Yesterday I received three hate emails from weirdo's that think I wrote an article about men wearing leggings.
Personally I don't care if men wear leggings but I feel really sad for the guys that feel compelled to write stupid emails about something so frivolous.
Are they really afraid that they may soon have to make the decision of which leggings look best with their sportcoats?
One guy said I wouldn't last long in his office…..well, I run in leggings, I think that means i would kick his ass twice as fast.
Sorry for the rant but I hate the fear the runs some peoples lives.
If i could figure out how to document it I should wear a pair of leggings with a sportcoat ,like in the Marni show, and capture and how people react. i would have to do it in a city like Philly or Pittsburgh.
Wasn't that Cameo's whole look back in the 80′s?
Has anyone seen the article that these weirdo's are talking about?
