Census Records for Kentucky
This entry was originally written by Wendy Bebout Elliott, Ph.D., FUGA, for Red Book: American State, County, and Town Sources.

Ancestry.com has digitized images of the entire U.S. Federal Census Schedules 1790-1930 and created searchable indexes for the images. This collection can be accessed at U.S. Federal Census Collection. Along with the entire U.S. Federal Census collection, Ancestry.com has a collection of indexes for Kentucky (Kentucky Census, 1810-90) which were created by Accelerated Indexing Systems in 1999. This collection contains the following indexes: 1810 Federal Census and Index; 1820 Federal Census Index; 1830 Federal Census Index; 1840 Federal Census Index; 1840 Pensioners List; 1850 Federal Census Index; 1850 Slave Schedules; 1860 Federal Census Index; 1870 Federal Census Index; 1890 Veterans Schedules; Early Census Index.

Earlier U.S. censuses for Kentucky were destroyed, but published tax lists serve as a replacement for the lost 1790 and 1800 censuses. For substitutes, see these works:
- Clift, Garrett Glenn. 'Second Census' of Kentucky, 1800: A Privately Compiled and Published Enumeration of Tax Payers Appearing in the 79 Manuscript Volumes Extant of Tax Lists of the 42 Counties of Kentucky in Existence in 1800. 1954. Reprint. Baltimore: Genealogical Publishing Co., 1982. Names of taxpayers are arranged alphabetically. Shows name, county, and date of tax list.
- Early Kentucky Tax Records. Baltimore: Genealogical Publishing Co., 1987. Taken from the Register of the Kentucky Historical Society (see Kentucky Periodicals, Newspapers, and Manuscript Collections) and indexed by Carol Lee Ford.
- Heinemann, Charles Brunk. 'First Census' of Kentucky, 1790. Baltimore: Genealogical Publishing Co., 1981. Privately compiled list of taxpayers arranged alphabetically assists in locating the proper county of residence. Provides name, county, and date of tax list. This volume includes a map by Bayless Hardin depicting Kentucky in 1792, with the 1818 Jackson Purchase also noted.
Only returns for sixty-five Kentucky counties remain of the 1890 Union veterans and widows schedule of the federal census of Kentucky. Extracts and indexes for many of Kentucky's censuses have been compiled and published. Original or microfilm copies of the federal census returns are available at the Kentucky Department for Libraries and Archives. Several Kentucky indexes to censuses predate those published by AISI.
State School Census
Kentucky infrequently enumerated public school students beginning in 1888. Scattered records are at the office of the respective county Board of Health or Board of Education. These are restricted if held by the school board but are not if held by the county clerk. Some are maintained by the Kentucky Department for Libraries and Archives and the Kentucky Historical Society.

I've got a Bluetooth speaker…and I love it. But when my family and I went camping this summer I left it at home. Why? Because I wasn't convinced that the environment it would be in was going to serve it all that well. I could have used something more rugged, and even more versatile.
I could have used the Boombot REX.
With a ruggedized ABS housing, Boombot REX goes anywhere, but it also features full fidelity stereo sound, is water-resistant and plays for up to eight hours on a single charge – it's built tough to withstand the demands of your active lifestyle. And Cult of Mac Deals has it for 23% off the regular price – just $99.99!

Thanks Dr. Grumble, can't beat a bit of Shakey! Merry Christmas to you and the family Grumble. Please keep up your blog, I have yet to find its equal.

Merry Christmas!
Woo! This has to be one of the best songs for getting people in the Christmas spirit!

Glad you like the song. I don't have a monopoly on YouTube, Sam, and wouldn't have been offended had you run the same clip. As you know we bloggers pinch a lot of ideas from each other. I find that healthy and one of the attractions of blogging.
Milosz and A. Medstudent
I am really glad to learn that you get something out of Grumble's ramblings and if the blog appeals to both ends of the age spectrum that is a bonus.

The song looks good on your site ... but I have now linked to it too, thanks Dr G
Hope you're having a wonderful day ... and it's good to know the Witch is flying about and is due to land soon ... wish doctor Crippen and Dr Rant were here too ... the blogosphere needs YOU guys! ...
Merry Christmas all .. and black cat of course :-)

Thanks, Sam. I think we have all been a little concerned about the Witch Doctor who seemed to leave the scene a bit precipitously. She guards her identity well and we have to avoid asking what the problem was though we would all like to know.
- 25 December 2009 at 13:29
"'we' would 'all' like to know."
'We' do?! are you talking in the plural as do 'nobility', or you mean 'we' as in you and other 'remaining' soon to disappear if this disertion continues bloggers Dr G?! Shame because it was a really thriving and make lots of difference community upto only a few months ago! Each one had a unique style too!
Moi, I just miss everybody and hope they all come back.

Doctors can be accused from time to time of using the royal we just as Mrs Thatcher did when she became a grandmother.
I do find myself saying 'we' to patients by which I sometimes mean you the patient together with me the doctor which is how it should be. Or I can mean we the team looking after you.
I did think of doing a post once on doctors and the royal we.
Above I intended 'we' to mean those of us who have been wondering what is up with the Witch Doctor. It's clear the others have been missing her.
I have no worries about using the royal we as a blogger but I don't want to be a royal doctor.
- 26 December 2009 at 07:55
- Sam said...
My god, you fall sooo quick Dr G! I was only pulling your leg cos after all you did use the word 'all' after you said 'we' ... and that cancels the noble perception, doesn't it?
There you go, a freee English language lesson ;-)
Only your reply just goes to show how 'modest' you lot are, it even gives you away! Because I always find it is mostly surgeons who use the word 'we' when talking to patients .. and no, there is no 'we' here because the surgeon won't be going under the knife while sleeping and having no clue what is being cut away! ... just the poor patient will! Cosy, eh?!
"Above I intended 'we' to mean those of us who have been wondering what is up with the Witch Doctor. It's clear the others have been missing her."
And why you lot also never like to show 'your' emotions?! Why can't you simply say I miss the Witch and hope she returns?! I did and so did Rita, why not you too?! Cos, after all, you do, ha?!
I think it may be best that you do write this post about your reasoning for the noble 'we' Dr G. I would be eagerly waiting! And maybe I should also write a post about this 'Moi' thingy, cos it has a story behind it too, you know!
- 26 December 2009 at 11:01
- Dr Grumble said...
Another topic for a post is why surgeons appear to have different personalities from physicians. Do surgeons start out with different personalities or do they change? There is not much data available to answer that question.
And why we don't show emotions. It is true that we don't. Yet another topic for a post.
There is always much more to write about than I will ever have time for.
C'est la vie.

"why surgeons appear to have different personalities from physicians. Do surgeons start out with different personalities or do they change?"
Each one plays his/her part doctor ... and looks and speaks it too. This applies whether a surgeon, doctor, dentist, engineer, lawyer, economist .. etc ... etc
Trouble begins when roles are blurred though ... nurse playing doctor, for example ... then personas will just muddle up to suit and Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde start to appeeeeeear @@
Well, it's the season to be merry doctor G - and yet another topic for you to write about :-D

The forthcoming OECD Development Centre 'DEV Week' will be organised at the OECD Headquarters in Paris from 30 June to 3 July 2014, with a view to understanding the implications of major global trends for policy making and global governance, and their likely impact on achieving more sustainable and inclusive development. It will offer a timely opportunity for renewed dialogue and knowledge sharing among key development actors in both OECD and non-OECD countries, gathering Ministers, high-level policy makers, representatives of the private sector, investors, civil society organisations, foundations and think tanks.
We look forward to pursuing the development dialogue with you during DEV Week! Read the detailed programme of the whole week.

Ahead of the launch of the OECD Southeast Asia Regional Programme, scheduled for the OECD Ministerial Council Meeting in May 2014, a Regional Forum on Competitiveness for Sustained Growth took place in Indonesia on 25-26 March.
The Forum was an opportunity to discuss deepening a two-way co-operation between the OECD, the Region and its institutions. The joint Development Centre-ASEAN Secretariat Economic Outlook on Southeast Asia set the stage for the Forum, highlighting the medium- term challenges for the various countries in the region: narrowing development gaps, overcoming the middle-income trap, strengthening institutional and implementation capacities.
Participants stressed the important contributions the Outlook is making in terms of substance and peer learning. Reacting to the presentation, high-level representatives from Myanmar and Thailand emphasised the usefulness of the Development Centre Multi-Dimensional Country Reviews as important contribution to the design of a country's development strategy.

China's new development model is evolving from an export-oriented, manufacturing-intensive economy towards a consumption-oriented, services-intensive model, and will affect emerging economies in the medium and long term.
The Development Centre participated in the conference on China's new development model and its impact on Latin America and Africa, organised by the Inter-American Development Bank and the Red Mercosur on 25 March in Buenos Aires. It aimed at understanding China's new development strategy and its effect on Latin America and Africa.
China's recent reforms, including the reform on State Owned Enterprises, the flexibilisation of the one-child policy, and the agriculture and Hukou reforms, are likely to have an effect over the medium and long term in other emerging regions. The conference aimed at approaching researchers and policy makers working on these issues for a better understanding of this process.

Saving the best for last?
That depends on what you consider the best, says Morenci area weather observer George Isobar.
Friday's snowstorm did produce the biggest one-day total of snow for the season at 6.8 inches, he said. On the other hand, some people would consider that the worst day of winter weather.
"It all depends on what you like," Isobar said. "Personally, I thought it was a little exciting. A great storm."
The storm was a little unusual for March, he said, and especially for this late in the month.
"We've had five other six-inch-plus snowstorms in March over the past 33 years of records, but we had two of them this month. We had 6.2 inches back on March 4th," he said.
The biggest March snow since 1975 came in 1993 with 9.6 inches.
"We haven't had much in March in recent years," he said. "There was only 3.7 inches last year and 1.6 inches the year before. 2005 was a bump upward with 8.1 inches, but 2004 finished out at 2.8 and 2003 at 2.9."
The average for March stands at 5.5 inches and this month has produced 15.2 inches—and counting.
As far as last week's 6.8 inches coming in as the deepest of the season, that's only partially true.
"It's the deepest one-day snow," Isobar said, "but there was actually a heavier storm back in December. It was all one storm, it just continued over two days.
"The total came in at 7.7 inches. At that point we were wondering if we were off to a snowy winter, but we didn't even get a white Christmas out of it."
So, is this the end of it for this season?
"Hard to say. We had 1.9 inches last April, none the year before, 1.3 the year before that. The April average stands at about an inch and our local record came in 1982 when we measured 8.2 inches from a single April snow storm."
Let's not hope for any record-setters.

Microsoft has announced availability of Version 2.5 of its .NET Micro Framework. Updates and enhancements to .NET Micro Framework version 2.5 focus on two main areas:
- Web Services on Devices technology preview. Version 2.5 of the .NET Micro Framework includes a Web Services on Devices implementation compatible with the implementation built into Vista and supported by the other Windows Embedded platforms. With Web Services on Devices, devices can discover and communicate with Windows-based PCs or with other devices on the network with no user configuration.
- Native TCP/IP stack support. Version 2.5 of the .NET Micro Framework adds a native TCP/IP stack to the platform, making it easier than ever for original equipment manufacturers to build platforms with network connectivity.
"The .NET Micro Framework extends Microsoft''s embedded offerings to an even smaller world of connected devices," said Colin Miller, product unit manager of the .NET Micro Framework at Microsoft. "With version 2.5, we've made significant updates to the platform in response to partner feedback. Our partners continue to validate the platform. The .NET Micro Framework is already being used in a variety of current hardware offerings in the home and industrial automation markets, the automotive industry, in PC peripherals, and in a wide variety of innovative consumer devices."

HALLE, Germany -- Roger Federer progressed to the semifinals of the grass-court Gerry Weber Open without playing after Yen-Hsun Lu of Taiwan pulled out of their quarterfinal with back problems on Friday.
Federer, who began his preparations for Wimbledon by defeating Portugal's Joao Sousa on Thursday, compensated by playing an exhibition against Christopher Kas.
Former champion Philipp Kohlschreiber booked his semifinal place with a hard-fought 6-4, 5-7, 7-6 (16) victory over German compatriot Dustin Brown. Brown ousted world No. 1 Rafael Nadal on Thursday.
Kohlschreiber, who won the tournament in 2011, will next face Alejandro Falla of Colombia, who defeated German wild card Peter Gojowczyk 7-6 (4), 7-6 (2).
American Steve Johnson was playing the fourth-seeded Kei Nishikori in the last quarterfinal.

In the chaotic moments after a gunman wounded Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, investigators quickly turned a patrol car into a makeshift whiteboard, using markers to scrawl relevant information about the investigation.
By the end of the day, the car was covered with details on the man who carried out the rampage, the hospitals where victims were being treated and a crude diagram of the crime scene.
Photos of the car were among 600 images that were taken by investigators in the aftermath of the January 2011 attack and were made public Tuesday by the Pima County Sheriff's Department.
The images provided a window into the early hours of the investigation and included the first publicly released photos of the handgun and high-capacity pistol magazines Jared Lee Loughner carried during the attack.
The image of the patrol car was a striking reminder of how investigators scrambled following the shooting, using whatever resources they could to inform officers at the scene.
The handwriting included phone numbers of investigators, medical conditions of victims, and the name and birth date of Loughner.
Police also made a note on the car's trunk that Loughner had previously been cited for possession of drug paraphernalia, a charge that was dismissed after he completed a diversion program. Someone drew a stick-figure sketch of the scene, including where Loughner and Giffords were located at the time of the attack.
A Post-it note on the patrol car listed the name of Bryce Tierney, a high school friend of Loughner's who hadn't talked to Loughner in months.
Loughner had left a message on Tierney's cellphone hours before the shooting, saying, "Hey Bryce, it's Jared. We had some good times together. Peace out."
Loughner was sentenced in November to seven consecutive life sentences, plus 140 years, after he pleaded guilty to 19 federal charges in a shooting that inspired Giffords to become a national leader on gun control. The images released Tuesday contained the very high-capacity magazines that her organization is trying to restrict. Giffords did not comment on the release of the photos.
At the time of the shooting, Loughner had two magazines that held up to 31 bullets, two 15-round magazines, a 4-inch knife and other items.
Loughner had cleared a federal background check and legally bought the 9 mm Glock 19 semi-automatic weapon at a sporting goods store months before the shooting. Though he was carrying the knife during the attack, Loughner didn't use it to injure anyone.
The images were made public nearly two months after the Sheriff's Department released roughly 2,700 pages of investigative reports examining the shooting, marking the public's first view into documents that authorities had kept private since the attack. The records provided more detail about the deteriorating psychological condition of Loughner in the hours leading up to the attack and the first glimpse into Loughner's family.
News organizations seeking police records and photos from the shooting were denied access in the months after Loughner's arrest. U.S. District Judge Larry Burns later cleared the way for the release of the photos and records, saying Loughner's right to a fair trial was no longer on the line now that his criminal case has been resolved.
Mavy Stoddard, who lost her husband Dorwan Stoddard in the massacre and suffered three gunshot wounds herself, said seeing photographs of the gun that killed her husband was hurtful but she understood the public eventually would see them.
"It's upsetting, of course. It's what I know killed my husband," she said.
Arizona's chief federal judge and a 9-year-old girl were among those killed in the rampage. Thirteen people were injured, including Giffords, who was left partially blind with a paralyzed right arm and brain injury. She resigned from Congress last year.
Other photos released Tuesday show images of a credit card record for earplugs that Loughner bought, and dozens of vehicles that were in the parking lot of the shopping center where the shooting unfolded.
The most graphic image shows a small puddle of blood on the ground outside the Safeway supermarket where the attack occurred, with plastic bags and other trash. Another photo shows a specimen cup that contained a bullet fragment recovered from the shooting scene.
Other photos show sheriff's deputies talking to people in the parking lot, the interior of the cab that Loughner took to the shopping center, the motel room where he stayed the night before the attack, and a motel record noting the time he checked in but also saying in a handwritten notation that the motel operators "don't know when he left."
Pam Simon, a former Giffords staffer who survived two gunshot wounds to her chest and wrist, hadn't seen the photos yet but wasn't avoiding them either.
For Simon, the release is a reminder of the magnitude of tragedy of gun violence. She said she has recognized the trauma it has created when talking to people who were working at the grocery store and nearby businesses.
"As far as I'm concerned, I don't have any burning desire to see them (the photos) right now, I don't feel any urgency," she said. "I've worked really hard at gathering at the puzzle pieces for myself. I feel like I see that day through the people I've talked to and the pictures I have seen, clearly enough."
Loughner's guilty plea allowed him to avoid the death penalty. He is serving his sentence at a federal prison medical facility in Springfield, Mo., where he was diagnosed with schizophrenia and forcibly given psychotropic drug treatments to make him fit for trial.
Fonseca reported from Flagstaff, Ariz.

Section 1: How to Draw an Awesome Elephant
We started with a simple example. We already know how to draw a star:
star = polygon [ ( -75, -100), ( 0, 87), ( 75, -100), (-100, 25), ( 100, 25), ( -75, -100) ]
and Sophia has figured out how to draw an elephant (this is one of her early versions, actually, but I picked it because it's shorter; you don't need to understand it):
elephant = pictures [ rotate (-20) (scale 3 2 (translate 30 40 (circleSolid 25))), translate 150 (-20) (rectangleSolid 40 80), translate (-10) 40 (scale 1.5 1 (circleSolid 80)), translate 50 (-50)(rectangleSolid 40 70), translate (-60) (-50) (rectangleSolid 40 70), translate (-140) 50 (rotate 100 (rectangleSolid 10 40)) ]
But now we want to draw a really awesome star. Being "awesome", of course, means being twice as large, and the color chartreuse.
awesomeStar = scale 2 2 (color chartreuse star)
awesomeElephant = scale 2 2 (color chartreuse elephant)
But, by now, you can probably guess that I can draw an awesome version of any picture. There are awesome spaceships, awesome shoes, awesome bicycles… give me any picture at all, and I can tell you how to draw an awesome one: you draw it twice as big, and make it chartreuse. It will get tiresome to keep repeating ourselves, but luckily, Haskell lets us say this just once:
awesome x = scale 2 2 (color chartreuse x)
Now we don't need to define a bunch of variables like awesomeStar and awesomeElephant. Instead, we can just write awesome star, with a space in between the two!
We've seen things like this before: awesome is called a function, and the thing that we're making awesome is called its argument. But up until now, we'd only used functions that other people gave us… like rotate and translate in the Gloss library. Now, we know how to write definitions for our own functions.
To sum up, we can write a function because:
- Given any thing, we know how to make it awesome.
- It follows a formula: scale 2 2 (color chartreuse ____________) where you just fill in the blank.
If both of those are true, you can write a function definition. It looks like like the variable definitions we've written before, except that it has parameters. A parameter is any word that comes before the equal sign (=), except for the first one. In the function we wrote a minute ago, we called the parameter x. Parameters are just placeholders, so when you use the function, you'll give it an argument, that argument gets stuck in where ever that variable name pops up.
We also talked about what it means to be cute, and came up with the following:
cute x = scale 0.5 0.5 (color purple x)
Let's check our assumptions: given any shape you choose to define, we can draw a cute one. It follows a definite formula (make it half the size, and color it purple). And so we wrote a definition where the function is called cute, and the parameter is called x. If you wanted to draw a cute elephant, you could define picture like this: picture = cute elephant. There, the function is cute and the argument is elephant, so to figure out what that means you just replace x with elephant every time it shows up in the function definition for cute!
Section 2: In which elephants can move their tails…
Let's look at another function. We know how to draw an elephant… but there's one problem. No matter where we draw an elephant, its tail is always sticking out at exactly the same angle. Suppose we want to be able to draw an elephant with its tail sticking in whatever direction we like.
It turns out that almost all of drawing an elephant will remain the same, but there's one rotate where we'll want to change the angle. So once again, we have:
- For any angle, we can draw an elephant with its tail at that angle.
- How we draw an elephant follows the same formula each time, except for a different number in that one place.
Sounds like a job for a function!
elephant angle = pictures [ rotate (-20) (scale 3 2 (translate 30 40 (circleSolid 25))), translate 150 (-20) (rectangleSolid 40 80), translate (-10) 40 (scale 1.5 1 (circleSolid 80)), translate 50 (-50)(rectangleSolid 40 70), translate (-60) (-50) (rectangleSolid 40 70), translate (-125) 50 (rotate angle (translate 0 20 (rectangleSolid 10 40))) ]
See how that worked? Most of the elephant stayed the same, but the rotate in the last line uses the parameter, angle. So whatever number we give it decides with way the tail points. It could be straight up…
picture = elephant 0
or it could be mostly down…
picture = elephant 160
So once again, we're able to use functions: this time to say how to draw an elephant, but leave until later the question of which direction its tail should be pointing.
Section 3: Lists, Lists Everywhere
The interesting thing about functions was that they have parameters, which are special variables that can have different values depending on how you use the function. There's another way that something similar can happen, and it's in lists. So we'll finish off by looking at some more kinds of lists.
The lists we've used so far have all looked something like this:
[ 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 ]
In other words, a list has always had an opening bracket, then some elements (that is, things in the list) separated by commas, and finally a closing bracket. The things in the list haven't been numbers… we've worked with lists of pictures, and lists of points! You can have lists of whatever you want, but the form is the same: you still have the brackets and the commas. We can call these "simple lists", because, they are pretty easy to use.
A second kind of list that will come in handy, that we haven't used before, is a range. That looks like this:
[ 1 .. 10 ]
It always has an opening bracket, a first element, two dots in a row, and then a final element, and a closing bracket. This kind of list counts for you. The things inside (for now, at least) always have to be numbers so that you can count… and the computer will fill in the middle of the list for you. In this case, the list we defined is the same as [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10]. The range is just a shorthand.
There's one more simple trick we can play, too: we can give the first two elements, and the computer will continue the pattern:
[ 2, 4 .. 10 ]
This look almost like a range, except that we've given the first two elements, instead of the just the first one. The computer will notice that we skipped forward by two, and will keep doing that, so that list is the same as [2, 4, 6, 8, 10]!
Finally, we get to the most interesting kind of list of all: called a list comprehension. Here's an example:
[ x + 7 | x <- [1 .. 5] ]
This has quite a few parts, so let's go through them carefully:
- It starts with an opening bracket, just like all lists.
- Next is an expression. Notice that the expression has a variable x that we haven't mentioned yet. That's okay, it's coming later.
- In the middle, there's a vertical bar (shift + backslash). That separates the expression from the next part.
- Now we have a sort of definition of x, except we say that x is any thing from another list! We do that with a backwards arrow, which is typed as a less-than sign, followed by a dash.
- Finally, there's a closing bracket.
What this means is: give me a list of all values of (x+7), where x is any of the numbers in that list. So this is equivalent to [1+7, 2+7, 3+7, 4+7, 5+7]… and of course that is the same as [8, 9, 10, 11, 12].
This last kind of list is very, very interesting; but maybe right now it just looks very complicated and you can't see why. To see how it's interesting, we'll start writing some lists of pictures, instead of just numbers.
Section 4: Combining List Comprehensions and Pictures
The last thing we did this week is combine pictures and list comprehensions to make some interesting pictures. I'll give you a bunch of examples, but not the pictures they draw. Your task is to first try to guess what the picture will look like, and then try them out using the gloss programming web site and check your guesses.
I'd very strongly encourage you to take this seriously… use graph paper, work it out, and do your best to figure out what is going to be drawn before you run the program and check.
First example:
picture = pictures [ circle x | x <- [ 10, 20 .. 100 ] ]
Second example:
picture = pictures [ translate x 0 (circle 20) | x <- [ 0, 10 .. 100 ] ]
Third example
picture = pictures [ translate x 0 (circle x) | x <- [ 10, 20 .. 100 ] ]
Fourth example:
picture = pictures [ rotate x (rectangleWire 300 300) | x <- [ 0, 10 .. 90 ] ]
Fifth example:
picture = pictures [ translate x 0 (rotate x (rectangleWire 300 300)) | x <- [ -45, -35 .. 45 ] ]
We can also put several different variables on the right side of the vertical bar, separated by commas. In that case, we'll get something in the list for each possible combination of those variables! We can use that, too…
Sixth example:
picture = pictures [ translate x y (circle 10) | x <- [ -200, -100 .. 200 ], y <- [ -200, -100 .. 200 ] ]
Seventh example:
picture = pictures [ rotate angle (translate x 0 (circle 10)) | x <- [50, 100 .. 200 ], angle <- [ 0, 45 .. 360 ] ]
Eighth example:
picture = pictures [ rotate angle (translate (5*x) 0 (circle x)) | x <- [10, 20 .. 40 ], angle <- [ 0, 45 .. 360 ] ]
As you can see, you can use list comprehensions to make lots of really cool pictures where it would be really tedious to write out each shape the way we've been doing before.
Your Assignment
Your assignment this week is to pick a picture with a lot of repetition that you can draw with list comprehensions, and build it. If you are in the United States and don't have another idea, a really good one is the American flag!
- There's a program to draw a star at the beginning of this summary. You can copy the star part from that if you like.
- You'll probably have to draw the stars in two groups: first, there's a 5-row, 6-column bigger grid, and then there's a 4-row, 5-column smaller grid inside of that.
You don't have to draw a flag, though! Especially if you're not in the United States, your flag probably doesn't repeat as much as ours, so you'll want to pick something different. Just pick something you can draw by using list comprehensions to make lists of pictures.
Have fun!
A Reference
One last thing… I've put together a reference card about the recent things we've done: lines, polygons, and types of lists. This might be a good thing to keep around. Click below to grab a copy.

Now the real fun begins! I couldn't help myself:
import Graphics.Gloss
picture = Pictures $ mylines ++ mylines2
mylines = [ Line [(-250,x),(-x,-250)] | x <- pts ]
mylines2 = [ Line [( 250,x),(-x, 250)] | x <- pts ]
pts = [-250,-240..250]
import Graphics.Gloss
n = 40.0
cooltri = Pictures [ col (x/n) (Rotate (x*1.2) (lineTriangle (x*10))) | x <- [1..n]]
fillTriangle x = Polygon [ (0,1*x), (x * cos (7*pi/6), x * sin (7*pi/6)),
(x * cos (11*pi/6), x * sin (11*pi/6)) ]
lineTriangle x = lineLoop [ (0,1*x), (x * cos (7*pi/6), x * sin (7*pi/6)),
(x * cos (11*pi/6), x * sin (11*pi/6))]
col x = Color $ makeColor x x x 0.5
Hurray Geometry!
Unfortunately, the fillTriangle wasn't working properly as the alpha transparency in makeColor was not having any effect (other than 0 or 1).

Suffering and Sovereignty
By Abbey Shoemaker
CIU Student Writer
Peter and Gracie Rosenberger used humor and song to communicate with CIU students what God has taught them about human suffering and His sovereignty. It was 27 years ago to the day that Gracie was in a traumatic car accident as a 17-year-old. Every bone from her waist down was broken. After more than 70 operations and the amputation of both legs, Gracie and her husband Peter demonstrate remarkable confidence in the Lord's purposes.
As they have wrestled for many years with questions of God's sovereignty and goodness, Peter, a 1983 graduate of CIU, shared their conclusion: "A biblical viewpoint is not 'Why is this happening to Gracie?,' it's 'Why does mercy happen at all?'" He added, "It's not my job to figure out why this happened. Biblically, Satan does not get to touch my wife unless our sovereign God allows it. When it gets difficult and we don't know what to do, we go back to what we know."
Founders of Standing with Hope - a ministry to amputees around the world who have no access to prosthetic limbs - the Rosenbergers know what it is to suffer. But they also know what it is to have hope. The hope offered in the gospel by Jesus Christ addresses mankind's greatest problem - sin. This Good News is what the Rosenbergers boldly proclaim to those suffering worldwide. Speaking about worldwide suffering, Peter said, "These things are put into perspective when we consider the problem of sin in the context of God's holiness."
After reading an excerpt from her autobiography, Gracie closed in song, and students were challenged by Peter to consider how "God uses our weakness and brokenness to manifest His glory in ways we can't imagine."

Android's widgets are really, really useful for certain things. They also are generally pretty ugly and take up a lot of homescreen space. Everyone has a different philosophy when it comes to organization of their homescreens, but most can agree that 'simple looks better, but often less useful.' Using some great apps, you can have the best of both worlds; all of your widgets at your fingertips without the clutter of having 5 different media widgets taking over your home screen.
The basic setup that I have found uses Overlays ($1.99 for pro) and Tasker ($2.99). Overlays allows you to create a little popup screen with the widgets you want. I found Tasker to be better at calling up the Overlay screen and dismissing it than Overlays' built in shortcut/widget setup. This is simply a starting point as you can incorporate other tools like Trigger, NFC tags, bluetooth speakers to further automate your life.
Basic Steps:
Setup Overlays
First, make sure that you have "Global" Overlays turned off to start or you'll have your widgets floating over everything all the time, not just when you need them. Also, you can edit the settings so it doesn't run on boot and notifications are hidden. Tasker will boot up and dismiss the Overlays as needed. I even went as far as to disable Overlays' notifications in my Android System Applications Settings. This is personal preference since I like a nice clean notifications bar.
Create Your "Folder" in a Global Overlay
Second, create a profile in the "Global" tab in Overlays called "Media Widgets." Add your media widgets to the screen and resize them so they look as good as possible.
Create a Shortcut on Your Homescreen That Calls the Overlay
Add a "Task Shortcut" to your launcher (depending upon your launcher it will be available in widgets or shortcuts). You'll be prompted to pick a task. Choose "New Task" > name:"Call Overlay"
In the task, add an action > Plugin > Overlays > Configuration > "Media Widgets" > "On".
Also in the task, indicate an icon (bottom right of task shortcut definition screen) > "Built in icon" and then pick something that makes sense like a picture of some headphones or something.
Allow a Way To Dismiss the Overlay
You can do this by setting a timer via Tasker or adding a button that dismisses the widget folder. To use a button, you'll need to add a shortcut to the overlay that calls a Tasker task that turns the Overlay off. To use a timer, you'll need to incorporate a "pause for X seconds" and "dismiss overlay" action in your task that calls the media overlay.
Taking Things Further
This framework can be used in conjunction with some other tools to do some very, very cool things. What I've done is integrated the Overlay and Tasks with NFC chips that are next to bluetooth receivers throughout my house. I have them in a couple rooms, so it's handy to have the NFC chips that, for example will: tap NFC chip, connect to bedroom bluetooth automatically, pop up my media widgets so I can quickly play the music/podcast/audiobook that I was listening to earlier.
I wrote this post partially to see what other crazy schemes people have used these tools for, so please share your experiences below!

Arizona's Gov. Jan Brewer announced that Apple will be building a manufacturing plant in Mesa, Arizona, which will bring a total of 2,000 jobs to the region.
"Apple is indisputably one of the world's most innovative companies and I'm thrilled to welcome them to Arizona," Gov. Brewer said in a statement. "Apple will have an incredibly positive economic impact for Arizona and its decision to locate here speaks volumes about the friendly, pro-business climate we have been creating these past four years."
U.S. & World
News from around the country and around the globe
The plant will create 700 manufacturing jobs and 1,300 jobs in construction and management, according to the report. Apple will also be building "a new solar power grid" to help power its operations. In addition to the manufacturing facility, Apple will be constructing new solar and geothermal sources to power the new plant. No date for the facility's opening was announced.
While it's unknown what Apple will be producing, it may be part of Apple's campaign to Americanize its products. Apple will begin building its new Mac Pro computers in Texas this fall, according to 9to5 Mac, so the Arizona plant could be part of that plan.
Apple is also partnering on the plant with GT Advanced Technologies which specializes in crystal growth equipment for consumer electronics, Reuters reported. On Monday the company said it signed a deal with Apple to provide "sapphire material" which is used for watches and other electronics. GT said it would "own and operate the furnaces to produce the sapphire material" but that Apple will be the plant's owner. Apple will give a $578 million prepayment to GT, which GT will pay back in five years.
Apple gave little away about the announcement, ""We are proud to expand our domestic manufacturing initiative with a new facility in Arizona . . . This new plant will make components for Apple products and it will run on 100% renewable energy from day one, as a result of the work we are doing with SRP to create green energy sources to power the facility."
With manufacturing facilities now in Arizona and Texas, California should be a little miffed that Apple hasn't tried to find a plant in the Golden State. While costs in the Bay Area could prove cost-prohibitive, the San Joaquin Valley, foothills and its southern deserts are all affordable and full of economic incentives. Shouldn't Apple stay a California company, if plans to use "Made in California" as part of its marketing?

WASHINGTON — Rep. Alan Grayson of Florida waited just a few hours after being sworn in to go on MSNBC, a forum he used to become a national figure during a tumultuous first go-around in Congress, and declare his return.
"As Steven Tyler would say, 'I'm back in the saddle again,' " Grayson smirked during the January appearance. And so he was off, ripping House Speaker John Boehner as "a weak, weak man."
But six months later, the self-styled "congressman with guts" has managed what seems like an impossible feat of self-restraint.
Gone (largely) are the volcanic floor speeches such as one in 2009 describing the Republican health care plan as "die quickly," and over-the-top sound bites such as referring to a female Federal Reserve adviser as a "K Street whore" or comparing former Vice President Dick Cheney to a vampire.
The antics led to Grayson's defeat in the 2010 GOP wave, but this comeback is less noisy, focusing on local concerns such as airport closures and housing issues.
"Alan Grayson? He's not here," said longtime Democratic Rep. Corrine Brown of Jacksonville, momentarily confusing him with the other Florida troublemaker to become a national figure. That would be ex-Republican Rep. Allen West, who also was defeated after one term and is now a paid contributor on Fox News.
"Oh, yes. Grayson," Brown said. "What's a better word for matured? He's picking his issues, I really like the new Alan Grayson."
If there were a time to be unhinged, it is now. Grayson got re-elected in a new district, which includes parts of Osceola and Orange counties, that is heavily Democratic. He beat a tea party Republican by 25 points, a dramatic reversal from the 18-point beating he took in a neighboring, GOP-leaning district anchored in Orlando.
Grayson has already drawn two GOP opponents for 2014, but the relative safety he enjoys has freed him from the constant fundraising that was driven by his made-for-cable-news rhetoric.
"The situation has changed, so I have changed," said Grayson, a 55-year-old Bronx-born, Harvard-educated father of five. "I'm honestly happier to be able to concentrate on the public service elements of this job as opposed to the self-service elements."
Sitting outside the House chamber on a recent afternoon, dressed in a dark suit, purple shirt, black tie and black size-13 boots, Grayson bristled at the suggestion he was tempering himself.
"I don't think I've pulled any punches," he said, suggesting that a reporter who Googled the words "Republicans and callous bigoted tools" would find an "extraordinary number of hits in the past few months." You can also find him leading a campaign among liberals to pressure President Barack Obama to back off on calls for changes to Social Security.
But he dwelled more on efforts to prevent the closure of the Kissimmee Gateway Airport due to federal budget cuts and how he worked with Republicans from the Orlando area to put pressure on the VA about a long-stalled hospital.
"A term or two always settles you in Congress," said Rep. John Mica, R-Winter Park. "He's been more tempered, and I've had an opportunity to work with him."
Grayson boasted of the amendments he has been able to tack onto bills. On the day Grayson sat with a reporter, he popped in and out of the chamber to push an amendment that would bar the Department of Veterans Affairs and the Department of Homeland Security from contracting with corporations that have been convicted of fraud or violations of law while obtaining public contracts. "We did it!" Grayson, pumping a fist in the air, yelled to an aide.
Is there a sinister angle to it all? During a private meeting with liberals in February, Grayson outlined a plan called "Operation Bust Their Chops," in which Democrats, now in the minority, would use the amendment process to force Republicans into voting against things that may be popular back home — funding for schools, for example.
Grayson's national breakout came amid the 2009 health care debate when he went to the floor to take on Republican opposition. Liberals nationally rallied around him, seeing him as the rare Democrat willing to fight back, which he did with abandon. To a national audience on CNN, he slashed the GOP as "knuckle-dragging Neanderthals."
"I reached a certain point where I was mad as hell and not going to take it anymore, to use a term from the movie Network," Grayson recalled in an interview.
But if he wagered that the public liked a guy who spoke his mind, he was wrong. Republicans made Grayson their No. 1 target in 2010, and he was defeated by Daniel Webster, a respected former state legislator from Winter Garden. Millions in outside spending ("sewer money," Grayson calls it) from conservative groups combated the millions Grayson raised from a national email list of 400,000 people. His career in politics would likely be over, but the once-a-decade reapportionment created two new congressional districts in Florida, and Grayson stepped into District 9.
Friends and aides say Grayson is grateful for the second chance and is more relaxed than his first term. It would be unwise to suggest his old self won't emerge, but he has at least learned the limits of being always on.
"I haven't had a near-death experience," Grayson said. "I've had a death experience."

While financial terms of the acquisition were not disclosed, the acquisition is not expected to be material to EFI's Q2 or full-year 2013 results.
"We are very pleased to have printLEADER join the EFI family and our expanding portfolio of business automation technologies," said Marc Olin, senior vice president and general manager of EFI Productivity Software (EPS). "We also welcome printLEADER's customers to our global client base. They will see additional opportunities through the combination of EFI's and printLEADER's technical innovations."
John Fleming, founder/president of printLEADER, commented that, "Our customers need to remain extremely competitive in today's 24x7 world. After 25 years the timing is right to join EFI, a leader in our market that produces outstanding software solutions, so we can offer our loyal customers a more robust and feature rich-suite of software products and high-value, web to print storefront solutions."
printLEADER's MIS products will become integrated into EFI's PrintSmith™ Vision product line, part of EFI's EPS group. EFI will also continue to support the existing printLEADER client base, which consists of more than 800 commercial and in-plant printing operations across North America.
EFI will continue to sell its existing EPS product lines, which includes EFI PrintSmith Vision as well as EFI Pace, EFI Monarch and EFI Radius software products.

Around & About Theater: Golden Thread's ReOrient Festival—Plays from & About the Middle East
Torange Yeghiazarian's Golden Thread Productions is in the midst of staging its annual ReOrient festival of contemporary plays from and about the Middle East. One of the most important theatrical companies in the Bay Area—or anywhere in North America—Golden Thread brings top quality collaborators to bear on a double string of short plays of immediate importance.
This month—through November 18th—ReOrient plays out two series, and a Forum with other events attached, some for free, at two locations a few steps from each other, parts of Project Artaud in SF's Mission-Potrero.
Series A, Six Short Plays—all, excepting the first, are world premieres: "War & Peace," a comic, allegorical play by Egypt's leading playwright, Tawliya al-Hakim, directed by Hafiz Karmali; "The Birds Flew In,' by acclaimed Egyptian-American playwright Yussef al-Guindi, about the losses of a mother of an Iraq War soldier, directed by Evren Odcikin; "The Letter," by Mona Mansour & Tala Manassa, directed by Sara Razavi, on the refusal of CUNY to grant an honorary degree to playwright Tony Kushner over his criticism of Israel; "Stalemate," by Saroyan prizewinner Silva Sererciyan, directed by Desdemona Chiang, from a disco/record shop in London to a battlefield in Iraq; "In the Days That Follow,' by Jen Silverman, directed by Christine Young, about a male ex-Israeli soldier following a Lebanese female poet to America; '2012,' by Farzan Favrokhi, directed by Sara Razavi—Three strangers on cell phones walk into a cafe ... A joke or the end of the world?
Series A will play Thursdays-Saturdays at 8, Sundays at 7, at Noh Space, 2840 Mariposa, near Bryant. $15-$20.
Series B, Four Short Plays, includes MacArthur Award-winner Naomi Wallace's 'City of Grubs,' directed by Desdemona Chiang, about an Arab-Jewish immigrant, who, discovering a dead man in the fleabag New Jersey hotel he cleans, tells the corpse his innermost secrets (US premiere)—followed by three world premieres: "Orhan," E. H. Benedict, directed by Evren Odcikin, of a half-British, half-Turkish man jailed for terrorism; "Stuck," by Amir al-Azraki, directed by Torange Yeghiazarian: What does it take to get out of Iraq with an Iraqi passport?; and "The Voice Room," by Reza Soroor directed by Torange Yeghiazarian—a novice secret agent is sent to spy on a guerilla band presided over by a prize catch.
Series B will play November 16 & 17, Friday & Saturday at 8, at Z Space, 450 Florida (near 17th & Bryant). $15-$20.
In addition, next weekend is the Forum at Z Space, with other events: the Forum itself, with keynote address by Columbia Professor of Middle Eastern Studies and Comparative Literature Hamid Dabashi & panels on questions of the Arab Spring and art, "Comic Counter-Terrorism," & others; playwright Yussef al-Guindi in conversation, followed by a staged reading of his play, 'The Mummy & the Revolution,' Saturday the 17th at 2:30 (FREE); Hafiz karmali's acclaimed "Rumi X 7," seven tales from the great Persian poet's Masnavi in a vaudeville format, Sunday the 18th at 2 ($15-$20)—and the closing party, Sunday the 18th at 7, reception with music by Iranian-American saxophonist—a great jazzman!—Hafez Modirzadeh with his band ($20-$30).
(415) 626-4061; goldenthread.org
It's a Festival with great variety, great purpose—and a great heart. I urge all to attend—& enjoy!

Data sharing has become more and more collaborative with the rise of Web 2.0, where multiple writers jointly write and organize the content in a repository. Current solutions use a centralized entity, such as Wikipedia or Google Groups, to serve the data. However, centralized solutions may be undesirable due to privacy concerns and censorship, which are problems that can be alleviated by switching to decentralized solutions.
The challenge of building a decentralized collaborative repository is achieving high data availability, durability, and consistency. Attaining these goals is difficult because peer nodes have limited bandwidth and storage space, low availability, and the repository has high membership churn.
This thesis presents Friendshare, a decentralized multiple-writer data repository. Separating the metadata from the data allows for efficient metadata replication across privileged admin nodes, thus increasing availability and durability. The primary commit scheme, where a primary node is responsible for determining the total order of writes in the repository, is employed to ensure eventual consistency. If the primary leaves the system unexpectedly, the remaining admin nodes run Paxos, a consensus protocol, to elect a new primary.
The Paxos protocol requires high node availability in order to be run efficiently, a criteria that is rarely met in typical peer-to-peer networks. To rectify this problem, we offer two optimizations to improve Paxos performance in low availability environments.
Friendshare has been implemented and deployed to gather real-world statistics. To offer theoretical predictions, we built a simulator to demonstrate the performance and service availability of Friendshare at various node online percentages. In addition, we show the performance improvements of our Paxos optimizations in comparison with the basic Paxos protocol.

JetBrains has released version 5.0 of its dotTrace Performance .NET performance profiler. Aiming to align its product's power with many of the more dynamic real-time coding tools currently available, JetBrains has now enabled developers to attach the profiler to running processes on the fly. In this way, the company hopes to enable profiling potential performance issues as they appear in production.
Also ramped up is remote profiling technology so that dotTrace 5.0 Performance can help discover performance bottlenecks on production servers without having to deploy an entire profiler infrastructure. The company says that this provides more opportunities to profile .NET applications running in production environments.
"Customers have asked us to support dynamic attaching to and detaching from processes. It's a demand we couldn't ignore, which provides great new potential to discover issues in production," said Oleg Stepanov, JetBrains .NET division lead. "When your app has been running for hours or days and you need to find out why it's getting bogged down, dotTrace Performance comes to the rescue. You kick in the profiler when you actually need it."
For analyzing profiling results, dotTrace (a 2009 Jolt Award winner in the Utilities category) also provides booted code preview tools with an integrated decompiler also used in two other JetBrains products, ReSharper and dotPeek. As a result, even if source code is not immediately available, dotTrace Performance can now decompile the code of any function featured in a profiling snapshot, to help users understand what may have caused a certain performance problem.
Microsoft, for its part, does of course also supply a degree of developer support in terms of .NET performance profiling through its Microsoft Learning division and also through MSDN. That being said, the most-current links found in a simple Google search show content only as recently produced as 2004.
Other vendors will continue to compete in this space also; Red Gate Software offers its ANTS Performance Profiler featuring .NET code profiling, integrated SQL and File I/O analysis, and visualizations for a complete picture of application performance.

Like a lot kids, I was awkward and painfully shy. I wasn't very good at pretending like I knew how to socialize, and kids suck at conversation anyway, which is why they usually just resort to being mean.
So I perfected the art of becoming invisible, which basically meant not standing out in any way, and for the most part it worked.
At some point though, I decided this was bullshit and it would be nice to actually win at something. But what could I do when I only had the power of invisibility?
One day, my class was playing a mandatory game of Capture the Flag. Of course I was picked close to last, so I really wanted to prove everybody wrong. As I was standing on the field, I realized something. No one was really paying attention to me.
Which gave me an idea.
I stepped across the line to the other team's side, but instead of running for the flag (aka, a chalkboard eraser), I just stood there and pretended to be one of them. I kept expecting some sweaty kid to run up and tag me, but no one did. So I started slowly making my way toward the flag, being sure not to make any sudden movements that would attract their attention (kids and T-Rex are strangely similar).
I waited until everyone near the flag was distracted, and then I calmly walked up and took it. At this point though, my childish zeal couldn't be contained. I had captured the m*therf*cking flag!
I ran the flag back to my team's side, which wasn't really necessary since no one even realized I had it anyway.
And that was when I learned that an underhanded win is the easiest win.

LearnVest, an online financial planning startup, announced Friday that it had acquired $16.5 million in new funding. It attained the funding from initial investor Accel Partners, as well as new investors American Express Ventures; Claritas Capital; Ed Mathias, the founding member of The Carlyle Group; and Todd Ruppert, former CEO and president of T. Rowe Price Global Investment Services. The company has raised $40 million since launching three years ago.
The firm, based in New York and founded by Alexa von Tobel, provides basic money management advice to consumers through its website and an iPhone app launched in September. A team of certified financial planners provide portfolio analysis and guidance on how to implement recommendations with other providers.
"We are passionate about making financial planning—dare I say it—an exciting consumer product," von Tobel said in a statement. "We're eager to use this latest investment to focus on scaling LearnVest Planning's award-winning technology and to provide widespread access to our team of certified financial planners."
LearnVest offers three pricing tiers, each with a monthly subscription of $19. The least expensive option offers one-on-one help setting a budget. The next option helps consumers create a five-year plan, and the top level provides actual guidance on investing.
With the additional funding, the firm has opened a new office in Phoenix to serve as a training and hiring center for the firm's financial planners. It will also invest in consumer-facing tools for its platform.
Additionally, LearnVest is partnering with Workplace Solutions to offer financial wellness programs as an employee benefit.
"We fully believe in the power of our Action Program to make America financially healthy. We all have questions about our money and need someone to help guide us in the right direction, with actionable unbiased advice," says von Tobel. "That's what LearnVest Planning is providing for people nationwide."

Pullmantur Cruises is a Spanish cruise line that offers contemporary cruises to a mostly Spanish-speaking clientele. Spanish is the primary language onboard but many staff members also speak English. English-speaking guests looking to immerse themselves in the Spanish culture will enjoy cruises with Pullmantur.
Onboard guests will find a cuisine designed for European palettes. To accommodate international clients, announcements are made in Spanish and English. The staff service philosophy is more reserved than what guests might find onboard a North America cruise line, and on European itineraries, restaurants follow the European custom of serving dinner later in the evening.
Pullmantur's prices include water, juice, soda, tea, coffee and select alcoholic beverages. Upgraded beverage packages are available at an additional cost.
Keep in mind that the currency used onboard Pullmantur ships can vary by itinerary. Typically the onboard currency in the Mediterranean and Baltic is the euro while in the Caribbean they use the US dollar. Please confirm the onboard currency with your Vacations To Go cruise counselor at the time of booking.

Bank of America (BAC) rolled out a new financial planning tool on Thursday for its 1.6 million mass-affluent Merrill Edge clients. The Merrill Edge Roadmap pairs clients with a Merrill Financial Solutions Advisor, who will deliver a financial action plans and meet with clients every six months.
"Mass affluent clients are focused on meeting their individual and family life goals, such as having a comfortable retirement or sending their children to college," said Alok Prasad, head of Merrill Edge, in a statement. "Merrill Edge Roadmap looks at their financial goals and provides specific steps that they can act on by working with a Merrill Edge Financial Solutions advisor."
About three-quarters (or 73%) of mass affluent Americans believe they have enough retirement assets to last throughout their lifetime, according to a recent Merrill Edge Report. Plus, 58% are using their personal savings to fund their children's education.
With the launch of Roadmap, Bank of America-Merrill Edge executives hope that the group's financial advisors can "help people balance and address their short-term and long-term financial needs and concerns."
BofA says it has more than 1,500 financial advisors working in the mass affluent Merrill Edge business. The number of traditional Merrill Lynch advisors is about 16,415; including the Merrill Edge advisors, who are classified as part of BofA's Consumer Business & Banking unit, BofA has a total of about 20,410 client-facing professionals.
"We understand that our clients have unique financial situations and personal goals that evolve with time," said Prasad. "Merrill Edge Roadmap will help them to identify and pursue these evolving goals throughout their lifetime—from entering the workforce to preparing for retirement."
According to Merrill, the Roadmap plan includes a one-on-one conversation between a client and a licensed Merrill Edge Financial Solutions advisor in order to clarify financial details, like savings, income and expenses. This is followed by a discussion about retiring, saving for college, putting together emergency funds, saving for a large purchase or accumulating wealth.
After these steps, the client receives a financial action plan with specific investment recommendations. Going forward, the client will receive reports outlining progress being made toward the achievement of specific goals and will be able to meet with their advisors for "course corrections" every six months or so.

originally I investigated an issue with Bitdefender and chrome failing to start while hooking NtOpenProcess or NtCreateFile. Later i realized, that Bitdefender does nothing bad. Its hooks are just forcing MCH to use MIXTURE_MODE instead of default hooking. Once I disabled Bitdefender and set flag MIXTURE_MODE to force using mixture mode chrome is failing to start again showing only black tabs. There is definitely a problem in chrome while using MCH's MIXTURE_MODE.
It look like everything was success, import and export tables are all patched, but somehow chrome doesn't load properly. What is wrong?
All I know is that the problem is happening in the MAIN chrome process. Other chrome child subprocesses seems to be OK with MIXTURE_MODE.
Our testing hooks are only using minimum code like return orig(params).
I am using W10 x64, but i think that OS is not important.
I am using latest beta version of MCH3 downloaded in viewtopic.php?f=7&t=28273.
I was able to do a workaround using FOLLOW_JMP. It helps to bypass Bitdefender's jmp hooks that cause to use MIXTURE_MODE. But that is not a pernament solution, or is it?
Can you try to look into this? Do you need more info? Thx.

Eat This Now: Grilled Octopus Fettunta at Nico Osteria
How often am I in the area affectionately known as the Viagra Triangle? Well, besides watching the cast of The League drink and mouth off at some imaginary version of Gibson's (looks more like a frat bar to me), the answer is hardly ever. But if there is one person who can lure me into this particular playground for the rich and well groomed, it's Paul Kahan and the One Off Hospitality Group. After all, these are the same people behind Blackbird, Avec, The Publican, Publican Quality Meats, Big Star, and The Violent Hour—all of which are, in their own way, incredible.
After trying the Grilled Octopus Fettunta ($15), the better question is where I wouldn't go. Hearty octopus tentacles are cooked first and then grilled to order, so that they are both tender and nicely charred. They sit on top of a grilled slice of bread, along with creamy pocha beans, briny olives, lettuce, and a shallot treviso jam. It tastes both rustic and well balanced, something that kind of sums Nico Osteria up nicely.
Oh, and almost forgot the best part. Each fettunta comes with a side of the crispiest, crackliest roast potatoes imaginable. I mean, these things are all golden brown edges and pillowy insides.
Since it just recently opened, it's hard to know for sure how Nico Osteria measures up to the rest of One Off Hospitality's projects, but there's no question that there's some serious cooking going on kitchen.

BRONXVILLE, N.Y. – Some Bronxville residents are shocked and others are just downright scared after police said they found an arsenal of illegal weapons in a Bronxville lawyer's home.
Randall Cutler, whose clients have included rappers such as 50 Cent and Eminem, and former White Plains Mayor Adam Bradley, was arrested Nov. 1 on felony weapons charges .
Many Bronxville residents, including Jim George, wonder why Cutler would have an AK-47, a TEC- 9 automatic handgun, hundreds of rounds of ammunition and other weapons stashed in his secluded and gated multimillion dollar mansion.
"It's surprising, disturbing and shocking that someone in Bronxville could have amassed such a great number of weapons," said George. "You don't want this kind of thing to happen anywhere, but it's certainly very unusual to have happened in Bronxville. It's just not something I should have to think about."
Some worried residents are calling for the mayor or the police to address the community about Cutler's weapon collection.
"We have kids, and were under the impression that we were living in a safe neighborhood, so I'm not sure how to react to this," said a neighbor who said she feared for her life and declined to give her name. "What if he's released and is back living on our block. What would happen, can we even allow than? I'm just scared to know that we were living next to someone who owned so many guns, with around 500 rounds of ammunition."
Cutler, an entertainment lawyer for Big Bizness Management , a musical artist development business, represented clients including Eminem and 50 Cent, according to the company's websites. A 2003 profile of Culter in Colby College's alumni magazine told of Cutler living the high life with his rapper clients. Cutler also represented White Plains' former mayor Adam Bradley after Bradley's arrest a year ago after he allegedly violated a court order and called his wife.
Bronxville Police got a search warrant for the Westway house after they responded to a domestic violence call and family members said Cutler threatened his brother with a gun. Police said they found a cache of weapons, including an AK-47, a Marlin .17 rifle, a sawed-off Rossi shotgun, two tactical vests and a laser scope.
The investigation is ongoing. Cutler is scheduled to appear in Bronxville Village Court on Wednesday, Nov. 21.
