Debian Creator Ian Murdock Dead At 42

Ian Murdock – the ‘ian’ in Debian – was found dead at his home in San Francisco on Monday. The cause is yet unknown.

Murdock was an integral figure in the open source movement. His Debian Project – and his work at Docker

Ian Murdoch

    

With a heavy heart Debian mourns the passing of Ian Murdock, stalwart proponent of Free Open Source Software, Father, Son, and the ‘ian’ in Debian.
Ian started the Debian project in August of 1993, releasing the first versions of Debian later that same year. Debian would go on to become the world’s Universal Operating System, running on everything from embedded devices to the space station.
Ian’s sharp focus was on creating a Distribution and community culture that did the right thing, be it ethically, or technically. Releases went out when they were ready, and the project’s staunch stance on Software Freedom are the gold standards in the Free and Open Source world.
Ian’s devotion to the right thing guided his work, both in Debian and in the subsequent years, always working towards the best possible future.

We will update if and when more details become available.

2008: A deadly trailer fire in Immokalee claimed its fifth victim Tuesday

IMMOKALEE: A deadly trailer fire in Immokalee claimed its fifth victim Tuesday. The Collier County Sheriff's Office says Emiliano Lopez Figaroa died as a result of injuries he received during the blaze. Four people were killed in the fire, Figaroa died Monday and five others were injured. It happened at the Cleves Trailer Park at 713 2nd Avenue in Immokalee On Tuesday, authorities released the names of those involved. In addition to Figaroa, those killed in the fire were:

Pascuala Mendez, age 34
Luciana Vasquez, age 13
Rodrigo Mendez, age 6
Unidentified adult male

Here is a list of the four victims that are still in the hospital recovering from their injuries:
Bonifacio Carrillo, age 31
Albino Juarez, age 32
Armando Lopez, age 21
16 year old boy who has not been identified by the family because of the severity of his injuries.

Jose Carrillo, 21, has been released from the hospital.
Investigators have determined the deadly blaze was intentionally set. It was the second time in two weeks that a fire was reported at the home. In the beginning there was speculation that the fire was started by a Molotov cocktail, which is basically a bottle filled with gasoline. But the fire marshal has ruled out that possibility. Investigators still don't have any suspects. "There haven't been any indications on any specific person or people we should be looking for," said Kristin Adams, Collier County Sheriff's Office. Adams says detectives think the fatal fire is connected with two others set on the same night. "They are considering these fires possibly being related to one at Lazanos and the other at Sunoco," said Adams. No one was injured in either of those fires. Florida Chief Financial Officer Alex Sink, who also serves as the State Fire Marshal, is urging anyone with information about the fatal fire to call 1-877-NO-ARSON (1-877-662-7766). A $2,500 reward is also being offered for a tip that leads to an arrest. "A reward is being offered for information that leads to the arrest and conviction of whoever is responsible for taking these lives. We will not tolerate this kind of violence and are aggressively working to bring those responsible to justice," said Sink. The Bureau of Fire and Arson Investigations (BFAI), Collier County Sheriff's Office and the Immokalee Fire Department are all investigating the blaze. The BFAI made more than 500 arson-related arrests last year and has an arson clearance rate that surpasses the national average.

Sheriff details investigation of Marshall murder-suicide

Sheriff details investigation of Marshall murder-suicide


By Sean Janssen, The Union Democrat March 29, 2013 02:44 pm

Philip Marshall acted alone in killing his two teenage children, a pet Shih Tzu and himself after a history of mental illness and a messy split with the children’s mother, according to a six-page report released Friday afternoon by the Calaveras County Sheriff’s Office.

The report details the investigation that took place after the bodies of all three family members were discovered Feb. 2 at the Marshall’s Forest Meadows home.

The Sheriff’s Office investigation concluded Marshall shot his son Alex, 17, and daughter Macaila, 14, as they slept on the living room couch before turning tahe 9mm Glock semiautomatic handgun he purchased in 2011 in Turlock on himself.

Toxicology test results showed both children had moderate levels of alcohol in their system at the time of their deaths, with Macaila registering a .05 blood-alcohol content and Alex a .03. In addition, Macaila had apparently taken diphenhydrameine, an over-the-counter antihistamine and sleep aid, commonly sold as Benadryl.

Philip Marshall’s toxicology screen showed painkillers hydrocodone and morphine in his blood as well as hydroxybupropion, an antidepressant.

Investigators looked at Marshall’s medical records and determined he had been diagnosed with bipolar disorder.

A lengthy history of run-ins with wife Sean Plummer, the children’s mother, is documented dating back to 2008, when she began divorce proceedings, only to later withdraw the petition and reinstate it in October 2012.

On Nov. 11, 2008, Plummer’s sister, Erin Chamberlain, then a Murphys resident, told police Marshall threatened Plummer she “will not see December.” Eleven days later, Chamberlain said she felt threatened “for the safety of her children” as Marshall repeatedly drove past her home. Phone messages Marshall left at Chamberlain’s home in December included statements that "if you don’t call me, mom is going to have problems, we don’t want this,” “Sean, you are going to get what's coming to you" and "Macaila, this is daddy. We are going to have lunch. We need to talk right now. If not, something is going to happen.” On Dec. 7, the report states Marshall violated an emergency protection order.

On Jan. 27, 2013, the report stated Marshall purchased a distinctive type of Fiocchi 9mm ammo from Big 5 Sporting Goods in Sonora, confirmed by a review of surveillance video at the store. The ammunition company later donated some of the same ammunition for a ballistics test at Marshall’s home investigators used to conclude it was possible for the shots to be fired without neighbors hearing them.

"During the multiple tests the detectives found that it took an average of a total of two seconds to shoot each victim, demonstrating that it was possible to shoot both children prior to one of them waking up,” the report stated. The home had been unlocked with no signs of forced entry when investigators arrived and valuables remained in plain sight, according to the report. A safe was left open with a handwritten note on a medical marijuana recommendation card that read “Hi Sean!”

“There was no evidence to support a theory that anyone else could have committed this crime, or that any other persons were present at the time of the shootings. Macaila and Alex Marshall both appeared to be sleeping at the time they were shot, indicating no signs of a struggle with a possible intruder. There was no evidence of a struggle with Phillip Marshall, and no signs of forced entry into the home,” the report concluded. “Various items of value were still present inside the home, and no evidence of any additional weapons was found.

Lastly, there was no evidence that Phillip Marshall or his children were moved or repositioned after the shooting, which would indicate an altered crime scene. Based on the final findings of the investigators, evidence shows that Philip Marshall, and not an outside fourth person, shot and killed Macaila, Alex, the family dog, and then himself. To conclude, it is determined that this case was a double murder-suicide."

A detailed report on the investigation’s conclusions will appear in Monday’s edition of The Union Democrat.

NTSB: Jason Price | LinkedIn | Gilroy family killed in central California plane crash

Gilroy family killed in central California plane crash

By Lisa M. Krieger lkrieger@mercurynews.com

Posted:   12/20/2015 09:47:33 PM PST0 Comments | Updated:   about 6 hours ago

BAKERSFIELD -- A Gilroy family, flying out of San Jose, died Saturday afternoon when their small private plane crashed into a Bakersfield almond orchard, killing both parents and three children.

Aviation and local authorities did not officially identify the victims, but a grieving family friend told this newspaper they were Jason and Olga Price, two daughters and a son. The Prices were flying from San Jose's Reid-Hillview Airport to Henderson Executive Airport in a Las Vegas suburb, where they were to visit friends in Las Vegas, according to a family friend.

"They were a wonderful family and dear close friends. They were loved by many," said friend Rich Whites,who was looking forward to a visit from the Price family upon their return from Nevada.

Radar shows that the plane was flying in excess of 250 miles per hour -- extremely fast, even for the high-performance Piper PA32 Turbo Lance aircraft -- as Price called in his first panicked Mayday to the Federal Aviation Administration.

An FAA website suggests that they turned immediately toward Bakersfield Airport upon sensing trouble. The plane missed FAA locational "vectors" while descending, suggesting they had gone far off their intended course.

The plane descended quickly from 15,000 feet and Price apparently lost control of the aircraft during its steep descent. A second Mayday, with an audible alarm, was called moments after the first.

Debris was scattered for one-quarter of a mile, according to Lt. Bill Smallwood of the Kern County Sheriffs Department.

On Sunday, the Federal Aviation Administration was looking for what caused the crash.The National Weather Service reported rain and clouds in the area when the plane went off radar. Earlier in the day, aviation authorities warned of icing above 5,000 feet.
According to his LinkedIn profile, Jason Price was an engineer at Genesis Solutions in Gilroy. On her Facebook page -- where there was a full-color photograph of the five family members -- Olga Price indicated she once attended the Blackford High School in San Jose. Jason led teams and served as a machinery technician in the U.S. Coast Guard in the late 1990s as a machinery technician and also offered disaster and humanitarian relief as a pilot with the Civil Air Patrol.
Bakersfield pilot Brad Pinnell called the weather "marginal, but flyable." Price had just filed Instrument Flight Rules because of poor visibility and precipitation.
"The two most likely culprits would be tail icing or a structural failure," Pinnell said.
"There were conditions for icing present earlier in the day at the level they were at, it could be suspected," said Pinnell, who canceled a flight to San Luis Obispo earlier in the day due to the weather.
The plane is a seven-seat high-performance 1978 fixed wing single engine, using a reciprocating engine.
The owner of the plane, according to FAA records, is RAD Aviation LLC of San Jose. A woman who answered a number listed for that address would only say that her husband used to be part owner of the plane but sold his share.

Walnut Creek CA: When Mr. Coon jumped it was tragic but when Catellus Development Corp pointed out they suspected foul play over the final selection of Lennar Urban over Catellus as the final developer of the Concord Naval Weapons Station their letter triggered an investigation.

The Contractors

By Jane Mayer

Table of Contents

Back when Americans were still debating whether there was just cause for a preëmptive strike against Iraq, few arguments were scrutinized more closely than the Bush Administration’s contention that there were covert links between Al Qaeda and Iraq. At the C.I.A., analysts pored over aerial satellite photographs. At the Treasury Department, experts sifted through financial records. At the National Security Agency, Arab-speaking linguists eavesdropped on phone conversations. But, even after Secretary of State Colin Powell put his credibility on the line, in a damning, dot-connecting speech before the United Nations last February, questions persisted about the solidity of the alleged links between Saddam and Osama.

Now there is a new and demonstrable connection, but it is not the kind that the Bush Administration had in mind. In fact, it is more likely to fuel the speculations of conspiracy theorists than it is to put their fears to rest. It turns out that a money trail runs—albeit rather circuitously—from the lucrative business of rebuilding Iraq to the fortune behind Osama bin Laden. Bin Laden’s estranged family, a sprawling, extraordinarily wealthy Saudi Arabian dynasty, is a substantial investor in a private equity firm founded by the Bechtel Group of San Francisco. Bechtel is also the global construction and engineering company to which the U.S. government recently awarded the first major multimillion-dollar contract to reconstruct war-ravaged Iraq. In a closed competitive bidding process, the United States Agency for International Development chose Bechtel to rebuild the major elements of Iraq’s infrastructure, including its roads, railroads, airports, hospitals, and schools, and its water and electrical systems. In the first phase of the contract, the U.S. government will pay Bechtel nearly thirty-five million dollars, but experts say that the cost is likely to reach six hundred and eighty million during the next year and a half.

When the contract was awarded, two weeks ago, the Administration did not mention that the bin Laden family has an ongoing relationship with Bechtel. The bin Ladens have a ten-million-dollar stake in the Fremont Group, a San Francisco-based company formerly called Bechtel Investments, which was until 1986 a subsidiary of Bechtel. The Fremont Group’s Web site, which makes no mention of the bin Ladens, notes that “though now independent, Fremont enjoys a close relationship with Bechtel.” A spokeswoman for the company confirmed that Fremont’s “majority ownership is the Bechtel family.” And a list of the corporate board of directors shows substantial overlap. Five of Fremont’s eight directors are also directors of Bechtel. One Fremont director, Riley Bechtel, is the chairman and chief executive officer of the Bechtel Group, and is a member of the Bush Administration: he was appointed this year to serve on the President’s Export Council. In addition, George Shultz, the Secretary of State in the Reagan Administration, serves as a director both of Fremont and of the Bechtel Group, where he once was president and still is listed as senior counsellor.

Rick Kopf, the general counsel of the Fremont Group, which manages some eleven billion dollars in assets, confirms that the bin Laden family invested about ten million dollars in one of Fremont’s private funds before September 11, 2001. He noted that the bin Laden family has not enlarged its stake since then, but he declined to provide additional details about its association with the firm. He also chose not to discuss the origin or the nature of the relationship between the bin Laden and Bechtel families, both of which made fortunes in huge construction projects in the Arab world. The Fremont Group evidently does not go in for connecting the dots. As Kopf said, “Ownership is private and is not disclosed.”

Grandson of oil tycoon Pickens dies #deadstudents

FORT WORTH, Texas (AP) - A spokesman for T. Boone Pickens says the oil tycoon's grandson has died.

Details on the death of Thomas Boone Pickens IV were not immediately available Tuesday.
A statement from Jay Rosser, the elder Pickens' spokesman, called the death an "unspeakable family tragedy."

Rosser said in a statement, "We mourn his passing and respectfully request that the family be allowed to grieve in private."

Fort Worth police said they responded to a report of a deceased person about 9:30 a.m. Tuesday and that the person was taken by private vehicle to a hospital where he died.
The grandson, who went by Ty, was a junior at Texas Christian University.

The Tarrant County medical examiner will determine the cause of death, a police spokeswoman said.

Jimmy Carter's grandson Jeremy Carter dies at 28 – report

Former president announced death hours later as he appeared at church to teach regular Sunday school class, Atlanta Journal-Constitution says

Reuters in Atlanta

Sunday 20 December 2015 16.32 EST Last modified on Sunday 20 December 2015 16.42 EST

 

Former president Jimmy Carter’s 28-year-old grandson, Jeremy, has died, Carter told a church gathering on Sunday, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported.

The newspaper said Carter, who two weeks ago said he was cancer-free, appeared at the Maranatha Baptist church to teach his regular Sunday school class and told church members that his grandson had died a few hours before.
The cause of death was unclear. The 91-year-old former president told the church Jeremy Carter had felt unwell on Saturday and that his mother discovered his heart had stopped after he went to take a nap at his family’s home in Peachtree City, Georgia, the newspaper reported.
Officials with the Carter Center, a non-profit founded by the former president to promote peace and health, did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Carter announced at the same church two weeks ago that he was cancer-free, four months after he revealed that his melanoma had spread from his liver to his brain. He continues to undergo regular treatment.
Church member Jill Stuckey told the Journal-Constitution that Jeremy Carter was a “great, fun-loving guy”.
“Life’s full of its ups and downs and the Carters aren’t immune,” the newspaper quoted her as saying.
Carter, a former peanut farmer, served as president from 1977 to 1981, losing his re-election bid to Ronald Reagan. Carter has built a powerful post-White House legacy, winning a Nobel peace prize in 2002 and staying active into his 90s, working for causes such as fighting disease in Africa.

Catellus to Be Bought by ProLogis

Combining the two REITs will result in an entity that will have warehouse and distribution centers valued at $21 billion.

June 07, 2005|Roger Vincent | Times Staff Writer

Catellus Development Corp., one of California's largest private landowners thanks to a lineage that dates to the earliest days of railroads in the West, has agreed to be sold for $3.6 billion in cash and stock to warehouse and distribution giant ProLogis.

Both companies are real estate investment trusts that develop and operate industrial properties. Catellus also owns Union Station in Los Angeles and a portion of the residential and office development at Mission Bay in San Francisco.

ProLogis will continue to develop Catellus' properties, including Kaiser Commerce Center, a 588-acre former Kaiser steel mill in San Bernardino County near truck routes that serve the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach. Catellus also is constructing office buildings at Los Angeles Air Force Base in El Segundo with Kearney Real Estate Co.

Under terms of the deal, ProLogis would pay $33.81 a share, a 16% premium over Catellus' closing price Friday, or 0.822 share of ProLogis for each Catellus share. The total value of the deal is $4.9 billion including debt, the companies said, and marks the biggest U.S. real estate acquisition of 2005.

The announcement drove Catellus' shares up $3.75, or 13%, on Monday to $32.99. ProLogis' shares fell $1.26 to $40.11.

The combined company would have more than 350 million square feet of warehouse and distribution centers valued at $21 billion.

"Catellus has the best industrial portfolio in the United States," said Jeffrey H. Schwartz, chief executive of ProLogis. The majority of Catellus' holdings are in California, which Schwartz called the top industrial real estate market in the country, with six times more buildable land in the state than ProLogis.
"We wanted a much larger presence in Southern California, and that was a driving reason to do this" acquisition, Schwartz said.

Catellus is "one of the most aggressive of the developers of new industrial land at the moment," Jim Ulmer, a senior vice president at Baltimore-based LaSalle Investment Management, told Bloomberg News. LaSalle owns 3.2 million shares of ProLogis and no Catellus shares.

"It's a good deal for Catellus, and it's a very good deal for ProLogis," he said.

Nelson Rising, chairman and chief executive of Catellus, said, "We believe this is an excellent way for our shareholders to realize the value of the platform we have built and to participate in the future growth of ProLogis."

Rising, 63, has been Catellus' CEO since 1994 and previously was a senior partner at Maguire Thomas Partners, where he was in charge of major Los Angeles projects including the Library Tower and Playa Vista. Rising, whose 1.4% stake in Catellus is worth about $47 million, would join ProLogis' board of directors, but he would not have a management post.

Catellus' president of commercial development, Ted Antenucci, would become president of global development for ProLogis. Schwartz declined to speculate on possible layoffs of Catellus employees.
The union of the two companies "is very complementary in terms of what they bring to the table," said John Long, chairman of the Richard S. Ziman Center for Real Estate at UCLA and a private real estate investor through Highridge Partners and Golden Boy Partners.

Catellus, based in San Francisco, has a huge inventory of land and expertise at getting government approvals for new construction, while ProLogis is a respected large-scale developer, Long said.

Aurora, Colo.-based ProLogis owns and manages 2,043 warehouse and distribution centers totaling 310.8 million square feet in North America, Europe and Asia. Its customers include FedEx Corp., Home Depot Inc., General Electric Co., Sears Holdings Corp., Unilever and Wal-Mart Stores Inc.

Catellus became a REIT at the start of last year as it shifted its focus to building and operating industrial parks instead of developing urban mixed-used projects such as Union Station and Santa Fe Place in San Diego. It has 40.6 million square feet of property, mainly distribution centers, across the U.S.
Santa Fe Pacific Corp. spun off Catellus to shareholders in 1990.

But the company's roots and gigantic land holdings date to the 1850s, when civil engineer Theodore D. Judah built a 23-mile line called the Sacramento Valley Railroad. It later became the Central Pacific Railroad, the first to conquer the Sierra Nevada. In 1869, the line linked up with the Union Pacific, coming from the East, with the driving of the famed golden spike at Promontory Point, Utah.

As part of its mandate for a transcontinental railway, the federal government gave the railroad builders vast tracts of land as an incentive to complete the historic rail linkage.
Later, with its name changed again, this time to Southern Pacific, the railroad heavily promoted its territory in the West to attract residents and businesses and became one of the most powerful players on the economic scene in 19th century California.

San Bernardino Tragedies

Former BART officer and wife from Livermore dead in North Carolina murder-suicide

A retired BART police officer and former Livermore resident shot and killed his wife and then turned the gun on himself Monday in what the North Carolina state medical examiner is ruling a murder-suicide.

Robert Seymore and Amber Seymore, both 38, were found shot dead by Amber Seymore's mother in an upstairs room of their Holly Springs, N.C., home, according to a report from the News & Observer. The woman reportedly discovered the grisly scene when she went upstairs to tell the couple, who have three children, that she was taking their daughter to day care.

The woman, whose name has not been released, told 911 dispatchers when she found her daughter's body that her "son-in-law killed her. He killed her, she's dead." Medical examiners' reports later confirmed the woman's suspicions.

Amber Seymore's mother reportedly grabbed the youngest child and ran to a neighbor's house to call 911, police said. The couple's older children were at elementary school at the time of the shooting.

"He's laying on the floor," she cried into the receiver. "They're not moving, neither one of them. I got the baby. I think they're both dead."

Police did not disclose a possible motive, though Amber Seymore's mother told 911 dispatchers that her son-in-law had "just been caught" having two affairs, the news report said. Amber Seymore also called 911 the day after Thanksgiving for a domestic violence incident in which she planned to confront him for his infidelities, and reported that he "had a gun on him and a really bad temper."

Robert Seymore worked for the BART police department as a canine officer from 2001 to 2011, BART Police Operations Deputy Chief Benson Fairow said. According to his LinkedIn page, the retired canine and explosive detection handler had settled into the role of stay-at-home father since moving to North Carolina.

Grief counselors have been made available to all members of the BART police department, Fairow said.

"We're dealing with the loss of one of our own," Fairow said. "Any time there's a situation like that, it is a tragedy for all those involved, all left behind. Our thoughts go out to the friends and the family."

Amber Seymore, a graduate of Monte Vista High School in Danville, worked in sales at Anixter. a communications supply company with offices in Pleasanton, for 12 years before moving to North Carolina in March 2011.

Nobody was home at Harry Bowman's apartment in Upland on Thursday evening.
A package was tucked neatly under the welcome mat on the concrete landing. It had been sent "priority express" by his mother from York, Pa. The postage was $44.95.
It was addressed to "Hal."
Bowman's name had been released by authorities earlier in the day, along with the 13 other victims of the mass shooting Wednesday in San Bernardino. He was 46.
Bowman was one of the earliest contributors to CREATE, a USC center that studies national security and terrorism, the director said in an email. Bowman, who left the center for a job with the San Bernardino Unified School District, was an expert in spacial data and mapping.
Neighbors said they didn't really know much about him, or anybody else at the Stoneridge Apartment Homes for that matter.
"There's not a lot of socializing," said Gina Lugo, 54, who lives in the one-bedroom next door with her mother. "People just go to work and come home."
She said they had talked only once, when he advised her to call the management about a problem with the hot water.
Across the hall, Dr. Guillermo Saenz, a 29-year-old medical resident, said he knew Bowman had at least one daughter.
"He would come out to the pool and teach her how to swim," he said.
Reached by phone in York, Bowman's mother, Marion, said that her son had grown up there and moved to California for work more than 15 years ago.
He had two daughters, she said, adding that the family wanted to protect their privacy.
The package, she said, contained Christmas presents.
