Paly grads Bono, Anderson reunited at Stanford-UCLA football game
Original post made on Oct 4, 2011
A year ago, Christoph Bono and Kevin Anderson were on the same side of the field as teammates on the Palo Alto High football team. On Saturday night, the two were reunited but were on opposite sides of the field when Stanford played host to UCLA in Pac-12 football action.

Blackpool hotel 'fines' couple £100 for crap TripAdvisor review
Re: Simples...
Yes to cash, not so sure about that pre-pay card - I believe hotels typically pre-block* a chunk of money on the card - and if it is pre-paid card that's your cash they've theoretically got their hands on! Case in point, friend was recently travelling with a pre-paid card with relevant foreign currency on it - went to a swish hotel and they kept that block on the card long after he had checked out...he was then forced to use a card with a much less favourable exchange rate for everything else.
* I'm sure there is a correct technical term for this!

I often thought their business suggestions were odd to say the least, but thought that this was a feature for the US market where they might make a bit more effort with their data - nice to know there is clearly no point sending corrections in...
I have noticed and reported a couple of application issues - never hear back, but they have got them fixed over time:
- no tube station showing up at Liverpool St.
- the negative 0 latitude longitude bug in some versions (i.e. entering -0.02 would take you 0.02 degrees East of Greenwich)
- auto-suggest comes up with a station icon, but when picked is often some distance from the station
If I have spotted these, I can only imagine there must be heaps of other bugs across all the different versions, let alone the mapping data itself ...

"We found that less than 2% of the username and password combinations might have worked, and our automated anti-hijacking systems would have blocked many of those login attempts. We've protected the affected accounts and have required those users to reset their passwords."

Tim Cook on pale, male Apple: 'As CEO, I'm NOT satisfied'
Re: let me guess...
I agree Pavlov - as a white middle aged male (thankfully not too old yet) - I am sick of it too. Sadly, I don't have answers on how to fix it though - all I know is it will take a long time. As you say, affirmative action may not be ideal, but at least it's something.
To be fair to others (and I don't think you deny this), "the best person for the job" is not a bad ideal - but there needs to be a realisation from people that although you didn't get hired "because you were a white guy", you were probably picked from a bunch of white guys because most non-white non-guys never got the same opportunities / treatment over the long haul. I suspect that may not be a popular view here, however...
UK mobile coverage is BETTER than EVER, networks tell Ofcom
A bit of transparency would be good...
... surely the carriers / MVNOs could be forced to be a bit more open about what the agreements are - the consumers should know what they are getting - do they sit in a 'tier' on the network and what tier it is. Then the consumer can make the decision as to whether we want to pay to be in 'higher' tiers - be it PAYG or contract, home carrier or MVNO.
There are clearly people stating tiers don't exist, but all I can say from my own personal experience with O2 PAYG (my usage being light data - browsing, etc.) - in the same locations: O2 was OK, giffgaff was consistently poor (almost unusable) and Tesco has been OK as well. Others will no doubt say the opposite, but the networks should tell us what is going on.

"Such a refusal would simply force the complainant to take their gripe to their national data protection authority – such as the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) in the UK – and any decision taken at that level can be fought over in the courts."
I.E. Assuming Google refused the ICO request, ultimately a court could order the information be removed. Without the law, you could never get that far ...
eBay slammed for daft post-hack password swap advice
@Old Handle
Thanks - yes, I was thinking it might be a hashing issue - though if encrypted and then hashed it must protect those simple passwords some more. I guess my own feeling is that a somewhat complex string of memorable words is still a safer bet for most people than storing a bunch of super duper complex forgettable passwords - but I am (clearly) no expert.
Someone please enlighten me...
... what exactly does a 'strong' password (as defined here) protect you from? This is a serious question - I just don't understand this "password long, symbols, numbers not a word" mantra. It just forces the user to write things down, store it elsewhere, reset it all of the time, etc.
- If the password isn't encrypted, it doesn't matter how complex it is.
- If the password is able to be decrypted, it doesn't matter how complex it is.
- If your encryption model depends on 'everyone' having an equally strong password - good luck with that - it won't matter how complex yours is.
- If there is a key logger (video camera, machine compromised, whatever), it doesn't matter how complex it is.
- If you are successfully phished, it doesn't matter how complex it is.
- If you are re-using a compromised password, it doesn't matter how complex it is.
- If someone is attempting a dictionary attack on your account, the security model 'should' stop the attack well before it can 'guess' the password, so it 'shouldn't' matter how complex it is.
- Further to this, if someone is simply guessing your password, the above should also kick in - the 'obvious' password examples given aren't anymore obvious than a thousand other things...

Bring Your Own Disks: The Synology DS214 network storage box
Re: Home server/NAS
WHS has always been (still is) available as an OEM license, which an individual (system re-purposer) can use .... as the OEM you have to support yourself though. I suspect most people inclined to build their own server are more likely to run Linux.
The one advantage WHS does (did) have is the built-in backup and bare metal restore for Windows clients. It seems crazy, but I haven't seen anything really equivalent on a NAS device or Linux platform - unless anyone else has?
The other advantage it has for me - the machine makes a great PVR and HTPC (Media Portal) client. NAS and Linux do offer options in this area though.

Antarctic glacier melt maybe 'not due to climate change'
Shame there isn't a double fail icon ...
The OP was talking about New Scienctist and Nature, not the BBC. And although one could argue these are not the most hardcore scientific journals they are a damn site more scientific than "El Reg", whose predertimined bias is clear for anyone to see. Strangely you don't even realise that in your analogy the El Reg editorial policy is equivalent to only letting the homeopathy guy, flat earth guy and Nick Griffin speak.
And I don't know whether to laugh or cry when I read so much "pseudo-science" baloney from posters who have absolutely no background in the area (or any scientific area it appears); yet are still determined to prove climate change is all untrue with some stupid analagy (tidal wave guy I'm looking at you). Kudus to the people who do try to argue clearly and succinctly, but you are fighting a battle that has already been lost.
Aussies rage at 'strings attached' iPad sales
Huh? As the article says ...
... it is against Australian Consumer law to do what they did i.e. force the customer into buying a bundle of products. Perhaps people are prepared to pay "too much" for a supposed lifestyle product - but they weren't complaining about that, they were complaining about having to buy the superflous crap. Overall this has absolutely nothing to do with the supply and demand price argument you are babbling about.
Finally, I should note, JB Hi-Fi are not really comparable to Currys or Dixons - they are mostly noted for selling a vast variety of CDs at relatively cheap prices. At some point they moved into the stack-em-high mid-range AV electricals market. I have always thought their numbers just didn't add up, but somehow they just keep growing - perhaps it just shows how much people have been paying over the odds for music (and AV) all this time (and how limited Internet shopping in Australia is - if you are curious as to why; think about the cost of delivery ...).
TwitPic-nicking Mail nicked

Seagate to announce SSD-threatening hybrid drive
Real World Performance?
A synthetic showing "close" performance to an SSD? Did the testing involve allowing the drive to optimise for a particular test? What would performance be like after a few months of use and a user who randomly uses quite a few applications ... what is the performance in this situation?
Hey, I really hope they work as well as they say they do, but just not sure this proves they do (4gb is pretty small). At the moment the suggestion to have an SSD program drive and a HD data drive sounds the ticket, but that is still a very expensive option for the desktop.
@Kebabbert - ZFS is relatively dead isn't it, particularly on the desktop? Mac - nope. Windows - nope. Linux - nope.

Re: False Dichotomy
Yes he missed the point about neither being Open Source, but so have many previous posters.
And leaving aside this particular example of paying for a terminal emulator, surely the issue is that vertical / bespoke / custom software is never going to be written or supported by Open Source communities. The best "the zealot" can hope for is that such software will be developed on an Open Source *platform*.
Where does this mad assumption that FOSS exists for every SW need come from? Do they not realise that business requirements for SW extend beyound Office (and terminal emulators)? I really am fascinated as to how people (like the first poster) come to these conclusions ...

Aussie ISP beats Hollywood on 'copyright' rap
Interesting Point
As stated in the article "The judge accepted there was widespread copying of their films, not just in Australia but worldwide, but the studios feeling that "something must be done" was not enough to find iiNet guilty."
You pray you are wrong; however, "something" DOES have to be done. Despite the mealy mouthed excuses of the whining freetard regtard's you see comment here - it is "theft" (moral term, not a legal one) and the idea of everyone getting all their content for free is unsustainable.
It is what that "something" will be that is the interesting question. Ultimately some legal changes are inevitable, as even if the distribution methods are changed to be more "consumer friendly" the totally free torrent option will still be there as well ... i.e. the problem of getting cash for content will remain.
Just my opinion ...
SF's rogue admin finally gets day in court
If they can't make a convincing argument how the hell is a jury supposed to know who was right? Are you supposed to be able to make a totally unconvincing argument and still win?
Based purely on the information provided in this article, my assumption is that he is indeed guilty (sounds like his lawyers are clearly using a BS line), whereas others here seem to think the guy should be knighted. Odd that ... maybe one actually needs to leave one's prejudices at the door and hear all these arguments (i.e. be on the jury) to make a real decision.

Historic Win for Dealers! ALJ Says No To GM's Retail Sales Index
In a Historic win for franchised dealers in New York State a DMV Administrative Law Judge (ALJ) has decided that GM's Retail Sales Index (RSI) was unreasonable as it does not realistically reflect the Chevrolet sales challenges that a New York Metro area Chevrolet dealer and other New York City area dealers face. The ALJ also noted that GM was not applying the RSI uniformly to all dealers in New York and thus GM lacks due cause to terminate the franchise.
GM served a Notice of Termination on the New York Metro Area Chevrolet dealer for failing to meet the agreed upon sales performance requirements. A six day hearing took place at the DMV's Yonkers office. During this hearing the Chevrolet dealer was able to show that in 2012 there were 15 other GM dealers in New York that had RSI's that were below or equal to this Chevrolet dealer and none of them had received termination notices. In 2013 there were 22 GM dealers that had lower RSI's than the dealer in question and none of them in the NYC Metro area faced termination. The Chevrolet dealer argued that their RSI should be based upon the NYC Metro area GM dealers and not a state wide average. This position was supported by a letter sent by NYSADA to GM in July 2013 which was introduced as evidence on behalf of the dealer. The dealer was also able to show that their sales have almost doubled from 2009 to 2014 and yet their RSI only increased from 40.4 to 50.2 based on statewide RSI. The dealer was also able to show they were not the worst performing dealer by sales in NYC Metro area and their CSI of 92.6 was well above many other GM dealers. Therefore, the ALJ found that GM lacked Due Cause to terminate the Chevrolet dealer's franchise based on RSI.
NYSADA would like to note that the victorious Chevrolet dealer was able to use the Administrative Hearing Process which took effect in 2008 for their victory!
The Administrative Hearing Process was the brain child of past NYSADA Chairman Jim Farley, who recently passed away. This is part of Jim's legacy and no one would be happier than him about this dealer victory.
The Administrative Hearing Process creates a less expensive and faster system in adjudicating franchisee/franchisor disputes giving the dealers an option besides litigation. It allows dealers to enforce the franchise law in an administrative hearing. A franchise dealer can file a complaint directly with the DMV and if there is no settlement the case is heard by a DMV Administrative Law Judge. The DMV Commissioner then issues the final order. The DMV Commissioner also has the ability to fine a party for not following the final order. This fine can be enforced through a civil action. Both parties have the right to appeal.
NYSADA would also like to announce that we have just received a rough draft from the Anderson Group on our long awaited Sales Effectiveness and Market Conditions survey. NYSADA commissioned this survey in the hopes of being able to help dealers that are having problems with their manufacturer using state wide sales averages and threatening termination. This survey will soon be available for member dealers and when put together with this recent decision greatly strengthens franchised dealers position with their manufacturer when it comes to issues involving sales effectiveness.

Hawks Triumph in Senate; Will Push More Aggressive US Policy
Jason Ditz writes for Antiwar:
'The Republicans took control of the Senate in Tuesday's elections, but much more important than which party took control is the nature of the incoming Senators from the new ruling party.
It's not an influx of Tea Party members, reluctant to waste US funds on overseas adventures and suspicious of federal power, but rather a series of hawks in the model of Sen. Lindsey Graham (R – SC) that seized the reins of power last night.
The new senators are typified by Jodi Ernst (R – IA) and Tom Cotton (R – AR), who campaigned heavy on escalating the ISIS war in Iraq and Syria, as well as being more hawkish at essentially every opportunity."

Noam Chomsky: "US created the conditions from which ISIS arose"
Adam Curtis: HAPPIDROME (Part One)
Adam Curtis writes on his BBC blog:
'[…] The accepted version is that the neo-liberal right and the free market triumphed. But maybe the truth is that what we have today is far closer to a system managed by a technocratic elite who have no real interest in politics – but rather in creating a system of rewards that both keeps us passive and happy – and also makes that elite a lot of money.
That in the mid 1980s the new networks of computers which allowed everyone to borrow money came together with lifestyle consumerism to create a system of social management very close to Skinner's vision.
Just like in the mental hospital we are all given fake money in the form of credit – that we can then use to get rewards, which keep us happy and passive. Those same technologies that feed us the fake money can also be used to monitor us in extraordinary detail. And that information is then used used to nudge us gently towards the right rewards and the right behaviours – and in extremis we can be cut off from the rewards.
The only problem with that system is that the pigeons may be getting restless. That not only has the system not worked properly since the financial crash of 2008, but that the growing inequalities it creates are also becoming a bit too obvious. The elite is overdoing it and – passive or not – the masses are starting to notice.'
Venezuela, Malaysia, Angola, New Zealand and Spain win U.N. Security Council seats, Turkey bid fails
Michelle Nichols and Louis Charbonneau report for Reuters:
'Venezuela, Malaysia, Angola, New Zealand and Spain won seats on the United Nations Security Council on Thursday for two years from Jan. 1, 2015. The 193-member U.N. General Assembly elected Venezuela with 181 votes, Malaysia with 187 votes, Angola with 190 votes.
All three countries campaigned unopposed for their seats after being chosen as the candidates for their respective regional groups, but still needed to win the votes of two-thirds of the General Assembly to secure their spots.
The only contest was between New Zealand, Spain and Turkey for two seats given to the Western European and others group. New Zealand won a seat during the first round of voting with 145 votes. Spain beat Turkey in a third round of run-off voting.'

ISIS fighter in Kobanê: "Erdoğan has helped us a lot"
Iskender Doğu writes for Roar Mag:
'[…] The general opinion of the Kurds and their supporters here at the border is that the Turkish government has had a hand in ISIS' assault on Kobanê. This rumor was confirmed by a member of ISIS with whom we spoke on the phone, a mere two hundred meters from the border with Syria.
My friend Murat and I were walking through the fields when we met a man who explained to us that he had just escaped from Kobanê. He told us how, two days before, he had tried to call a friend who was fighting with the Women's Defense Forces. But instead of his friend answering, an unknown man picked up the phone and told him that his friend was dead — killed by ISIS — and that this phone now belonged to him.
Murat encouraged the man to try and call the number again, and after it rang a number of times, the same man picked up. Our friend spoke to the ISIS fighter for a while, in Arabic, and then asked him: "how is your friend Erdoğan doing?" The reply confirmed what many here have been suspecting all along: "Erdoğan has helped us a lot in the past. He has given us Kobanê. But now we don't need him anymore. After Kobanê, Turkey is next!"'

EU chastises Turkey over interference in courts, freedom of speech
Robin Emmott reports for Reuters:
'The European Union reprimanded EU candidate Turkey on Wednesday for political meddling in the judiciary, saying a response to a government corruption scandal has harmed the independence of the judiciary and weakened civil rights.
The unusually harsh language by the European Commission, the European Union's executive, raises questions about Turkey's chances of EU membership almost a decade after negotiations were launched.
But in its annual report on countries seeking to join the bloc, Brussels said it still believes more talks are possible, recommending opening discussions on the judiciary and fundamental rights as a way to force Turkey to confront the issue.'

Turkish President Erdogan: 'I am increasingly against the internet every day'
Heather Saul reports for The Independent:
'The Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan has defended his government's efforts to control online speech, telling a press freedom conference: "I am increasingly against the Internet every day." Mr Erdoğan's comments came during an "unprecedented" meeting with the Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ) and the International Press Institute (IPI).
The meeting, which also included Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoğlu and Minister of Justice Bekir Bozdağ, took place as the Turkish parliament voted on military action in Syria. Turkey's leaders "aggressively" defended its record on press freedom during the 90-minute conference, and criticised various media outlets for "polarising and distorting coverage of recent events" such as the Gezi Park anti-government rallies.'

Does NATO's Outgoing Head Have Kurdish Skeletons in His Closet?
'The secret story of how the outgoing head of the most powerful military alliance landed his job "has everything," according to WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange.
"It has the Kurds. It has the destruction of an entire TV station. Corrupt deals between intelligence agencies and the judiciary. The corruption of a Scandinavian country, Denmark. And the head of that country, the prime minister, doing a corrupt deal to get his job," Assange told teleSUR English in an exclusive interview.
Continuing, Assange lamented the "whole thing, signed off, explicitly by Barack Obama."
The story with "everything" is now a pending case before the European Court of Human Rights, but it begins two years ago, with the prosecution of a Kurdish language television station in Denmark.'
The new 'Blair rich project': Pushing the Trans-Adriatic pipeline against Italians' objections

The scheme is, as always, a case of powerful elites against ordinary people, and guess which side he is for? He is gazing now at Puglia's southern coasts in his capacity of facilitator of Ilham Aliyev, Azerbaijan's president, nominated in 2012 for Person of the Year by the Organized Crime and Corruption Reporting Project (OCCRP) and the TAP consortium of energy, Trans Adriatic Pipeline, formed by British oil giant BP (20 percent), Azerbaijan's state oil company SOCAR (20 percent), Norway's Statoil (20 percent), Belgium's Fluxys (16 percent), France's Total (10 percent), Germany's E.ON" (9 percent) and Switzerland's di Axpo (5 percent).

'World Bank Turkey Director Martin Raiser on Tuesday addressed design flaws in the EU-Turkey Customs Union agreement that is seen as the biggest obstacle for Turkey in EU economic integration.
Raiser said that although Turkey is a candidate for EU membership, its inability to participate in the decision-making process on the EU's Customs Union policies increases the risk of Turkish non-compliance with EU legislation.
[…] Raiser was speaking at the "Turkey-EU Custom Union" panel held by the European Union and the Ankara-based think tank Global Research Association, which conducts research into Turkey's harmonization with EU principles and policies.'
Rise of Islamic education system unnerves secular Turks

Parents, educators and civil society groups have decried the move as another attack on Turkey's secular principles by the Islamic-rooted Justice and Development Party (AKP) co-founded by President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, accusing the government of imposing religion on students.'
A Two-Faced Friendship: Turkey Is 'Partner and Target' for the NSA
Laura Poitras, Marcel Rosenbach, Michael Sontheimer and Holger Stark report for SPEIGEL and The Intercept:
'[…] Documents from the archive of US whistleblower Edward Snowden that SPIEGEL and The Intercept have seen show just how deeply involved America has become in Turkey's fight against the Kurds. For a time, the NSA even delivered its Turkish partners with the mobile phone location data of PKK leaders on an hourly basis. The US government also provided the Turks with information about PKK money flows and the whereabouts of some of its leaders living in exile abroad.
At the same time, the Snowden documents also show that Turkey is one of the United States' leading targets for spying. Documents show that the political leadership in Washington, DC, has tasked the NSA with divining Turkey's "leadership intention," as well as monitoring its operations in 18 other key areas. This means that Germany's foreign intelligence service, which drew criticism in recent weeks after it was revealed it had been spying on Turkey, isn't the only secret service interested in keeping tabs on the government in Ankara.'
FBI informant led cyberattacks on Turkey's government
Dell Cameron reports for The Kernal:
'After Federal Bureau of Investigation agents raided Hector Xavier Monsegur's Manhattan apartment in June 2011, the FBI gave him a choice: Help take down the international hacktivist collective Anonymous, or go to prison for the rest of your life. He promptly flipped. What followed was a high-profile hacking spree that included attacks on Strategic Forecasting, Inc. (Stratfor), the Arizona Department of Public Safety, and the FBI's own Virtual Academy, among others. Monsegur, better known by his alias Sabu, helped ensnare eight of the world's top hackers in the process.
Monsegur's exact role, however, and the FBI's implicit involvement in the attacks have come under serious scrutiny in recent months. The Daily Dot previously revealed that, contrary to official reports, Monsegur, 30, orchestrated the devastating attack on Stratfor in December 2011. The breach caused an estimated $3.78 million in damages and left thousands of customers vulnerable to fraud. For the first time, The Kernel can now confirm Monsegur also led cyberattacks on Turkey's government. The revelation further calls into question the role of federal investigators and their apparent willingness to exploit both hackers and major security flaws.'
Focus magazine: Germany has spied on Turkey since 1976
'Germany's foreign intelligence agency has been spying on Turkey for nearly four decades, Focus magazine said on Saturday in a report which could raise tensions further between the NATO allies. The details about the duration of possible surveillance and on the decision-making surrounding it go further than first reports earlier this week. Turkey summoned Germany's ambassador in Ankara on Monday after media reports that Berlin had identified Ankara as a top target of surveillance in a government document from 2009 and had been spying on Turkey for years.
Focus magazine said the BND intelligence agency had been spying on Turkey since 1976 and that German government under the then Social Democrat chancellor Helmut Schmidt had expressly approved the step. The magazine also cited government sources as saying the BND's current mandate to monitor Turkish political and state institutions had been agreed by a government working group. That included representatives of the chancellor's office, the defense, foreign and economy ministries. A spokesman for the German government declined to comment on the report.'
NATO says would help defend Turkey if threatened by Islamic State
'NATO would take all steps necessary to defend alliance member Turkey if it were threatened by Islamic State fighters who have made gains in neighbouring Iraq and Syria, Secretary-General Anders Fogh Rasmussen said on Monday.
"We are very much concerned about the activities of the so-called Islamic State, which is a bunch of terrorists, and it is of utmost importance to stop their advance," Rasmussen told Reuters in an interview.
"If any of our allies, and in this case of course particularly Turkey, were to be threatened from any source of threat, we won't hesitate to take all steps necessary to ensure effective defence of Turkey or any other ally," he said.'
The New Gezi Park Protesters: Istanbul's Gentrification Wars
'This weekend's presidential election in Turkey is as good as decided. The mass protests surrounding Gezi Park, the corruption scandals, the Soma mining accident — none of these incidents will stop the majority of Turks from electing Recep Tayyip Erdogan as president. Among other things, this means that ambitious development projects will likely multiply — and with them, the controversies Erdogan's AKP party aggressive policies routinely provoke. The Gezi uprising that rocked Turkey in June 2013 was sparked by a government project to transform the park in central Istanbul into a gigantic mall. And while a relentless police crackdown has led many of last year's protesters to abandon hope, the problems at the heart of Erdogan's vision for Turkey's urban development have not gone away. Those directly affected by the aggressive development of their neighborhoods are often left with only one of two options: to despair, or to fight.
One group that has decided to take the fight to the government is the Revolutionary People's Liberation Front, or DKHP/C. This extreme-left party, labeled a terrorist organization by the EU, is entrenched in many of the disenfranchised neighborhoods that have become targets for ruthless urban development. To stave off the forced relocation of inhabitants, the DKHP/C militants are prepared to combat not only the police, but also violent drug gangs that terrorize their neighborhoods, which they believe are collaborating with the state. VICE News travelled to Istanbul to meet the DKHP/C on its home turf, document its fierce clashes with the police on May Day, and understand what motivates these violent, self-proclaimed champions of the poor.'

Erdogan poised to extend power as new Turkish President
Daren Butler reports for The Independent:
'The Turkish Prime Minister, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, was declared the winner in his country's first presidential election on Sunday, as voters backed his dream of a "new Turkey" that his opponents say will result in an increasingly authoritarian nation.
An unofficial vote count indicated that Mr Erdogan would claim victory in the first round, avoiding the need for a run-off ballot. He received about 52 per cent of the votes cast while his main rival, Ekmeleddin Ihsanoglu, got about 38 per cent and the third candidate, Selahattin Demirtas, won just under 10 per cent.'

#direnkahkaha: Turkish women defy deputy PM with laughter
Constanze Letsch reports for The Guardian:
'Twitter in Turkey broke into a collective grin on Wednesday as hundreds of women posted pictures of themselves laughing. They weren't just happy. They were smiling in defiance of the deputy prime minister, Bülent Arinç, who in a speech to mark Eid al-Fitr on Monday said women should not laugh in public.
…On Wednesday thousands of women posted pictures of themselves laughing out loud, with the hashtags #direnkahkaha (resist laughter) and #direnkadin (resist woman) trending on Twitter. Turkish men also took to social media to express their solidarity. "The men of a country in which women are not allowed to laugh are cowards", tweeted one user.'
Cypriots File War Crimes Complaint Against Turkey
'A group of Cypriots on Monday filed a war crimes complaint against Turkey at the International Criminal Court over what they say is its policy of settling Cyprus' breakaway north with mainland Turks.
Cyprus split into a Turkish-speaking north and an internationally recognized Greek-speaking south in 1974 when Turkey invaded after a coup that aimed to unite the island with Greece. A Turkish Cypriot declaration of independence is recognized only by Turkey, which maintains 35,000 troops there.'
Turkey Mine Explosion: Disaster deals another blow to Erdogan's authoritarian rule
Patrick Cockburn writes for The Independent:
'Every development in Turkey over the last year has added to the country's polarisation. The latest event to do so is the disaster at the coalmine at Soma, where 282 miners are known to have died and another 142 are still unaccounted for. When the Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan visited Soma on Wednesday he was forced to take a refuge in a supermarket as crowds shouted that he was a thief and liar. One of his aides was photographed kicking a protester who was on the ground. There have been demonstrations in Istanbul and Ankara blaming the government for failing to do enough to prevent the accident. One banner carried by demonstrators read: "It's not an accident, it's murder."
All this happened just as Mr Erdogan was expected to announce his candidacy for the presidential election in August. The opposition points to his ruling Justice and Development Party's (AKP) opposition to tougher safety regulations in mines. As recently as two weeks ago it voted down a proposal in parliament for an investigation into accidents in mines at Soma. Mr Erdogan was always going to carry some of the blame for the disaster because his party has been in power since 2002 and because it is notorious for its cosy relations with construction and mining companies. But he added to the odium by making a speech on a visit to Soma last week when he mixed his regrets for the disaster with remarks about the inevitability of heavy loss of life in coal mining round the world. "These are normal things," he said.'

Armenian president accuses Turkey of genocide denial
Armenia's president has accused Turkey of an "utter denial" in failing to recognise the mass killings of Armenians in the Ottoman empire during the first world war as genocide. On Wednesday the Turkish prime minister, Recep Tayyip Erdogan,offered condolences over the massacres, calling them "our shared pain". The US hailed the move as historic.
But in a statement on Thursday marking the 99th anniversary of the start of the killings and mass deportations, President Serzh Sarkisian made no acknowledgement of Erdogan's statement and instead accused Turkey of continuing to ignore the facts.
"The Armenian genocide … is alive as far as the successor of the Ottoman Turkey continues its policy of utter denial," he said. "The denial of a crime constitutes the direct continuation of that very crime. Only recognition and condemnation can prevent the repetition of such crimes in the future."

Erdogan paves way for Turkish surveillance state
After Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan managed to secure a clear victory in local elections at the end of March, his government has taken on the next controversial task that's bound to spell trouble: Erdogan pushes for a stronger intelligence service within the state apparatus. If Erdogan has his way, Turkey's intelligence service MIT would become much more powerful and much more detached from the country's judiciary, critics have said. They fear this would circumvent separation of powers.
Erdogan's ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP) submitted a first draft law in mid-February. According to Turkish newspaper "Hurriyet", Turkish President Abdullah Gul had already called on the government to rework the draft. Erdogan's AKP plans to have the law passed by parliament by the end of June. The Turkish government has been dealing with severe corruption charges since mid-December. In the past weeks, Erdogan has also increasingly come under pressure for his own role in the scandals.

Potential Turkish Role in Syria Chemical Strike That Almost Sparked U.S. Bombing: Interview with Seymour Hersh
'Was Turkey behind last year's Syrian chemical weapons attack? That is the question raised in a new exposé by Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Seymour Hersh on the intelligence debate over the deaths of hundreds of Syrians in Ghouta last year. The United States, and much of the international community, blamed forces loyal to the Assad government, almost leading to a U.S. attack on Syria. But Hersh reveals the U.S. intelligence community feared Turkey was supplying sarin gas to Syrian rebels in the months before the attack took place — information never made public as President Obama made the case for launching a strike. Hersh joins us to discuss his findings.' (Democracy Now!)

ProgLegs writes for Daily Kos:
Almost buried in a secret recording made of a meeting between Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu's office which included intelligence chief Hakan Fidan, army deputy chief of staff Yasar Guler, and Foreign Ministry Undersecretary Feridun Sinirlioglu was the revelation that U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry repeatedly asked about and seemed to encourage a Turkish invasion of Syria…
At about the 5:00 mark Foreign Minister Davutoglu says
…cogu zaman Kerry bana aynen sunu soyledi peki siz kararinizi verdiniz mi dedi bu vurma ve sey yapma…
Translation: Many times Kerry has said to me "Ok, did you make the decision to strike?"
The YouTube 'Start A False Flag War With Syria' Leaked Recording That Erdogan Wanted Banned
Tyler Durden writes for Zero Hedge:
As we noted here, Turkish Prime Minister Erdogan had blocked Twitter access to his nation ahead of what was rumored to be a "spectacular" leak before this weekend's elections. Then this morning, amid a mad scramble, he reportedly (despite the nation's court ruling the bans illegal) blocked YouTube access. However, by the magic of the interwebs, we have the 'leaked' clip and it is clear why he wanted it blocked/banned. As the rough translation explains, it purports to be a conversation between key Turkish military and political leaders discussing what appears to be a false flag attack to launch war with Syria.
Among the most damning sections:
Ahmet Davutolu: "Prime Minister said that in current conjuncture, this attack (on Suleiman Shah Tomb) must be seen as an opportunity for us."
Hakan Fidan: "I'll send 4 men from Syria, if that's what it takes. I'll make up a cause of war by ordering a missile attack on Turkey; we can also prepare an attack on Suleiman Shah Tomb if necessary."
Feridun Sinirliolu: "Our national security has become a common, cheap domestic policy outfit."
Ya?ar Güler: "It's a direct cause of war. I mean, what're going to do is a direct cause of war."

Patrick Cockburn: Are protesters overthrowing a brutal despot, or merely bad losers at the polls?
Patrick Cockburn writes for Th Independent:
[…] Revolutionaries must have some idea of what they are going to do once they have displaced the powers-that-be. It is not enough to say that anything is better than the status quo, particularly, as happened in Egypt and Syria, when people find their lives are getting worse. What happens when foreign powers, once so eager to support the risen people, want a share of the political cake? The success of those first uprisings meant that the revolutionaries, always better on tactics than strategy, had lethally few ideas about what to do next.
But the formula that brought them to power still works. In the past eight months, governments in Turkey, Thailand and Ukraine have been destabilised by prolonged mass protests. In the case of Egypt a giant demonstration on 30 June led directly to – and was portrayed as giving legitimacy to – a military coup on 3 July. In Istanbul it was Taksim Square and in Kiev it was Independence Square that were the stages on which revolutionary dramas were played. But what is at issue now is very different from 2011. This is not obvious, because television reporters often produce the same simple-minded story as before. Downplayed and even unstated in reports from Kiev, Cairo, Bangkok and Istanbul was that this time the protesters were confronting democratically elected leaders.
Erdogan recordings appear real, analyst says, as Turkey scandal grows
Roy Gutman writes for McClatchy:
Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan tightened his grip Wednesday on the judiciary and the Internet in an effort to tamp down a corruption scandal that's rattled his government and now appears to implicate his immediate family and him. Evidence mounted that a series of audio recordings in which Erdogan can be heard instructing his son, Bilal, to get rid of enormous sums of money are authentic, with the government firing two senior officials at the state scientific agency responsible for the security of encrypted telephones and a U.S.-based expert on encrypted communications, after examining the recordings, telling McClatchy that the recordings appear to be genuine.
Erdogan on Tuesday called the five purported conversations an "immoral montage" that had been "dubbed." But he acknowledged that even his secure telephone had been tapped. The only apparent "montage" was combining the five different conversations into one audio file, said Joshua Marpet, a U.S.-based cyber analyst who has testified in court on the validity of computer evidence in other Turkish criminal cases. He said there was no sign that the individual conversations had been edited. "If it's fake, it's of a sophistication that I haven't seen," he said. The purported telephone conversations took place over a 26-hour period, beginning on the morning of Dec. 17, when Turkish police launched raids on the houses and offices of members of the Erdogan government, businessmen and their families.

Posted December 15, 2012 on AP on Fox
The Los Angeles Clippers are on the verge of their longest winning streak since setting a team record 38 years ago. Still, Chris Paul claims they're not satisfied. Paul and the Pacific Division-leading Clippers go for their ninth straight win Saturday night when they visit the surging Milwaukee Bucks. Los Angeles (16-6) is averaging 105.9 points during its eight-game run, the team's longest since the 1991-92 season. A victory at Milwaukee (12-9) would give the Clippers their longest streak since setting a franchise record with 11 consecutive wins from Nov. 3-23, 1974, when they were the Buffalo Braves. "It's cool," Paul said. "It just means we're playing all right now. But we're not satisfied. We have to keep playing the right way and keep this thing going. Sometimes you're going to win and play bad and sometimes you're going to play well and lose. For us it's all about being consistent." Paul helped keep Los Angeles rolling ...

Would Jesus approve of Affordable Care Act?
I truly enjoyed the refreshingly honest letter from reader Frank Brodersen ["ACA is far from socialized medicine," April 21].
He rebuked a reader who wrote that the ACA "will socialize American medicine." At least the word "Obamacare" didn't come up.
By no means would anyone ever mistake me for a Bible scholar, but I do remember the basics I learned as a child. Jesus said "bring me your sick and your lame," etc., and he cured them.
I don't recall anything about "insurance plans," nor do I remember anything about leprosy being a "pre-existing condition." Perhaps Jesus was a socialist.
"Jesus-care," perhaps?

At its best, the music of Texas has an openness and quiet intelligence unlike any other state's. These Texan qualities seem unrelated to style or subregion -- it's evident in Doug Sahm's border rock, Joe Ely's flatland rockabilly, and Townes Van Zandt's wandering folk. That same supple wisdom suffuses Jon Dee Graham's Hooray for the Moon, the Austin folk-rocker's third and best album.
Whatever the strange phenomenon is that gives Texan troubadours the gift for smart, eccentric lyricism, Graham is under its sway, just as Lyle Lovett, Terry Allen, and the above-mentioned luminaries are. But Graham's songwriting style is more delicate than quirky, offering first-person narratives that avoid conventional introspection in favor of impressionist detail. For example, "Restraining Order Song" describes the outside of an ex-girlfriend's house instead of the woman within, offering longing rather than leering, like all good stalking tunes (think of the Temptations' "Just My Imagination"). "The Huisache Tree" implies the heightened sensations of a homecoming just by noticing the elements of a landscape and promising "a celebration."
As for the album's musical looseness, it could be the psychological effect of all that Lone Star space, but, more likely, it comes from the Texan tradition of unassuming virtuosity. Starting with the pop-perfect opening riff of "One Moment," the 11 songs on Hooray for the Moon launch like high-flying Roman candles that move with the wind and often land somewhere unexpected. "Waiting for a Sign" starts with bluesy picking and arches into a booming, desperate chorus worthy of the Replacements, while the swaying acoustic number "Tamale House #1" features sparkling leads that travel so light you want to drive off and live the tune's road-trip reverie. Studio drum wizard Jim Keltner isn't often accused of being uptight, but here his calibrated pots 'n' pans are more relaxed than usual. And it's no surprise that Graham himself isn't a ball hog: He was a sideman for more than a decade with eminent Texas punks the Skunks, folk-rockers the True Believers, and fellow roots mavericks Michelle Shocked, John Doe, and Kelly Willis. Both Graham's and Michael Hardwick's guitars shine without devouring the spotlight, weaving around each other in crisp, lilting riffery.
Like his peers and predecessors, Graham carries the Texas breeze in his voice as well. His calm, gravelly warmth is quintessentially suited for Tom Waits' "Way Down in the Hole," as well as a punked-up reading of the ranchera classic "Volver, Volver." Between the aptly chosen covers and subtle originals, Hooray for the Moon is as lithely, smartly and distinctly Texan as our commander in chief wishes he were.
