Don't steal images – a great story
Well, this heading seems a little odd. But I just read on eirikso.com a personal, but great story on how to act if somewhone stole your picture. In this case a leading retailer stole a picture from a Erik Solheim and used it in a product catalogue. The picture showing his son with some hardware makes it even worse in my eyes. They had no rights on using the picture, and they just didn't understand that this is illegal. Read more on eirikso.com

Support my school campaign launched
By Express News Service - CHENNAI
Published: 26th January 2013 07:54 AM
Last Updated: 26th January 2013 07:54 AM
'Support My School', a campaign for renovation of Government and Corporation schools and dedicated to students, was jointly organised by beverage giant Coca Cola and World Vision, at the Government Higher Secondary School in M K B Nagar recently.
The campaign undertakes activities such as improving access to water, bringing in appropriate sanitation facility for boys and girls, providing sports and recreation facilities and improvement in the overall infrastructure and environment among others.
World Vision has also contributed to the campaign by renovating the toilets that were unfit to be used in the school.
Mayor Saidai Duraisamy, who was present at the function, said the endeavours of the organisations in renovating the school were laudable. He also said that the State Government has allocated amount nearly to the tune of `17,500 crore for the development of Government and Chennai schools which might not suffice to fulfil all the demands.
He sought the help of organisations under their Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) scheme for this purpose. He further asked the organisations to allocate more funds to provide more facilities for schools that were in the need of their assistance for an overall development in the future.

As Purim approaches, thousands of Israeli children and families grapple with poverty
"Prisoner X," who hanged himself in an Israeli jail in 2010, was an Australian citizen who worked for the Mossad but apparently committed a heinous crime, perhaps treason, the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC) reported Tuesday.
The report sent the Netanyahu government scrambling to convene an urgent meeting of Israeli editors to keep the allegations from appearing in Israeli media, Haaretz reported.
ABC named "Prisoner X" as Ben Zygier, who went by the alias of Ben Alon or Ben Allen after he moved to Israel. Zygier, or Alon or Allen, was married to an Israeli woman and had two children. He was mysteriously jailed in a super-high security wing approximately 10 years after moving to Israel.
His identity never was revealed even to prison guards, and the prisoner committed suicide at the age of 34 despite state-of-the-art surveillance systems that are installed to prevent prisoners from taking their own lives. Zygier was in the Ayalon prison wing that held Yigal Amir, who assassinated Prime Minister Yitzchak Rabin.
Israel never admitted to the existence of Prisoner X even after the suicide was reported in 2010. At the time, media speculated the prisoner was a most senior enemy agent, with some suggesting that he was a senior Iranian Revolutionary Guards general.
After ABC's report Tuesday, Haaretz told its readers that the Office of the Prime Minister called an emergency meeting of local editors "to ask its members to co-operate with the government and withhold publication of information pertaining to an incident that is very embarrassing to a certain government agency."
ABC said it was able to identify Prisoner X through circumstantial evidence that was provided after the suicide victim's body was sent to Melbourne a week after his death. Before then, Australia did not of his incarceration.
Australian Foreign Minister Bob Carr responded to the ABC's exposé, "Those allegations certainly do trouble me.
"It's never been raised with me…. The difficulty is I'm advised we've had no contact with his family [and] there's been no request for consular assistance during the period it's alleged he was in prison.
"Even if Prisoner X has now been identified, his crime, however, remains a mystery although it has been widely speculated that it would have involved treachery to warrant such extreme measures."
If the allegations are true, Israel might be subject to serious questions about due process of law. Human Rights Watch researcher Bill van Esveld told the newspaper that there are serious issues involved concerning fundamental prisoners' rights.
"It's called a disappearance, and a disappearance is not only a violation of that person's due process rights – that's a crime," he said. "Under international law, the people responsible for that kind of treatment actually need to be criminally prosecuted themselves."

MINI Diesels Avoid London Congestion Charges
For the unfamiliar on this side of the Atlantic, the city of London tries to keep traffic congestion down in the heart of the city by charging certain kinds of vehicles a Congestion Charge of as much as £10 a day to be in certain areas of the city. However, if you drive a high-efficiency or zero-emission vehicle such as a hybrid or a MINI E, the charge is waived. The good news for MINI One D and Cooper D owners is that London mayor Boris Johnson has just announced revamped Congestion Charge regulations that now count these high-efficiency MINIs as exempt from Congestion Charges starting in January 2011. Given the numbers, it's not surprising why.
As with all MINI models both the MINI One D and MINI Cooper D comply with the EU5 emission standard and they achieve the same low fuel consumption of 74.3 mpg and CO2 emissions of 99 g/km. These values are an absolute record for any series production car produced by the BMW Group. In addition to the high efficiency of the diesel engine in the MINI One D and Cooper D, under the MINIMALISM umbrella both cars employ a host of fuel-saving and emission-lowering technology including Brake Energy Regeneration, Auto Start-Stop, Gearshift Indicator and Electromechanical Power Steering. All of these technologies and the standard six-speed manual gearbox play a role in eking the most out of every drop of fuel while also minimising the tailpipe emissions.
This exemption does not apply to the new MINI Cooper S Diesel, at least not yet, and qualifying cars still have to pay £10 annually for the privilege of not paying £10 daily. So if you're car shopping and need to get into London a lot, then a One D, or Cooper D might be just the ticket.

As the fall-out from the Facebook IPO continues to rumble on, today marks the one-year anniversary of another debut that has not exactly lived up to expectations. After a massive float worth £37bn, official trading of shares in Glencore International began exactly 12 months ago. However, you could forgive those investors who got in at the start for not blowing out the candles on the cake with too much enthusiasm.

I was talking with the team working on our yard – they're putting in new sidewalks and a patio, amongst other things – and we got on the subject of gutters. When we bought this house, it came with no gutters, and that has, over time, caused some serious damage to the base of the house. Wood and plaster do not take it well when water pours down on them at the rate that, oh, say melting snow in the spring sends it down. So I had them get us an estimate for gutters on the entire house. Some of the work they're estimating is running the gutters right to the storm drain, which is not normally cheap, but they had both the front and back yards all ripped up, so it is a good time to do it, both cheaper and less messy, since the mess is already there.
So I told them to do it, because I don't want the sod they're going to lay to be ripped up in a year when we decide to put the gutters on, and certainly don't want them to rip up the patio and sidewalks they're putting in now just to lay pipe later – that would be nearly impossible.
And that, in a nutshell, is the same reason why FPGAs are used in a lot of high-tech firms. If the device is my yard/sidewalks, and I have to choose between a custom ASIC versus an FPGA, the custom ASIC would require me to rip up the yard later, while the FPGA is planning ahead for change.
Let me explain. With an FPGA, the circuits are programmed. Not like software, but code sets up the circuits, and then they are pretty equivalent to having them be hard-wired. With an ASIC, they really are hard-wired. So six months later, a change to the system – be it added functionality or fixes to existing logic – will be far easier with an FPGA than an ASIC. With an FPGA, the design file is opened, the changes made and tested, then the config is compiled and delivered to manufacturing. At that point, the devices produced with the new config file will have the new functionality. With ASICs, you change the design, send it to a manufacturing shop, wait for the shop to produce a small run (working it into their schedule that is), test the result, and then do a full production run. Then the new ASIC has to be put on the assembly line to replace the old ASIC. The difference is astronomical in terms of time required and even more so in terms of cost.
Of course there are some trade-offs. Every architectural choice results in trade-offs, and anyone who tells you differently is indeed trying to sell you something, and they don't want to admit the trade-offs used to produce what they're selling.
One of the big concerns out there about FPGAs is that they're less secure. In the most vague, general sense, this is true. But in practical use scenarios, it most certainly isn't. Here are the concerns, and why they're over-rated (note that these notes are adapted from responses to my questions put to Clint Harames of F5<'s most excellent FPGA team, I cannot vouch for other production except to say the other teams I was involved with outside of F5 were similar):
- It's field programmable! What if it gets modified? In F5's case, none of the programmability is accessible from the outside. There is no Ethernet or coding hack that can reprogram it, because that functionality is not accessible. Other vendors work to a differing standard, so definitely worth checking, though I would remind you that it is almost never going to be as easy to hack an FPGA as it is to hack software or COTS hardware.
- Okay, but can't it be erased and destroy the device? In theory yes (though erasing it is only effective until the next boot – non-destructive, so-to-speak), but if "modify" functionality is not accessible, then it can't be erased easily. The caveat is that there is of course a reset pin on the chip, but if the ne'er-do-well has physical access to your device, time to disassemble the device, and a handy pinout for the FPGA chip you're using, I'm going to guess you have bigger problems than whether they can reset your FPGA.
- If it's programmable, can't the program be read out and modified? Again, that functionality can be enabled on the chip, and you can check with your device manufacturer to see if they leave it enabled for production devices. Remember, it is a twofold story here, in F5's case, we don't generally want to reprogram production devices and don't want to make reverse engineering our product any easier than it has to be, while we want to protect you from someone modifying a production device. So when the design is done and meets all test criteria, we at F5 turn access to this functionality off completely before shipping product is produced. Definitely worth checking with your vendor to find out what they are doing.
Again, your vendor may do things differently, if, for some reason they need the ability to reprogram the FPGA in your device.
For you, the IT staffer, the benefits are pretty straight-forward. The device you purchase will be closer to "up to date" because of the time-to-market benefits of FPGAs, it will be cheaper because of the reduced up-front costs (note that like everything involving costs, economies of scale can change the "cheaper" part to be untrue, depending upon the costs involved), and the resulting device will be far, far faster than the equivalent processing done on a general purpose CPU. In the end, it is hardware doing the processing, and FPGAs have concurrency that general purpose CPUs can only match with a huge number of cores, even then since the OS handles the scheduling on a general purpose CPU, many cores does not normally make up the performance difference.
There are some who think the advent of virtualization and virtualized appliances should curb the use of FPGAs, as the virtual version has to include all the functionality. While this is, on the surface, a reasonable argument, it has a flaw. FPGAs are MUCH faster than software will ever be, let alone a VM running on a host with who-knows-how-many other VMs sharing its resources. So in cases like F5, where there is a hardware and a software version, the key is to be able to run in both. TMOS, F5's OS for traffic management, uses hardware if available, software if not. This offers the best of both worlds – acceptable traffic management in a VM, and high-performance traffic management in hardware.
Next time I'll delve into specific functionality that on our hardware platforms is implemented in FPGA, and how that helps you do your job in IT, today was more of a "what are the risks, what are the benefits" in a generic sense.

This package includes all four books of the Daughters of Faith
Series Set 1: Freedom's Pen, Courage to Run, The Hallelujah
Lass, and Ransom's Mark.
There are a few elements of the Daughters
of Faith Series that separate it from many other children's book biographies. First,
these books are about little girls. They are not biographies of the entire life
of these characters- these are stories about girls who made a difference while they
were still young. This enables the young girl readers to relate to the characters
more than they would if these characters had to wait until they were thirty or forty
before doing anything significant. Second, these stories are faith journeys. Lawton
gets inside the minds of these girls in order to portray their struggles to make
God an active part of their lives.
In Freedom's Pen, Phillis Wheatley
was a little girl of seven or eight years old when she was captured in Gambia and
brought to America as a slave in 1761. But she didn't let her circumstances keep
her down. She learned to read and write in English and Latin, and showed a natural
gift for poetry. By the time she was twelve, her elegy at the death of the great
pastor George Whitefield brought her worldwide acclaim. Phillis became known to
heads of state, including George Washington himself, speaking out for American independence
and the end of slavery. She became the first African American to publish a book,
and her writings would eventually win her freedom. More importantly, her poetry
still proclaims Christ almost 250 years later.
In Courage to Run,
Harriet Tubman was born a slave on a Maryland plantation in the 1800's. She
trusts in God, but her faith is tested at every turn. Should she obey her masters
or listen to her conscience? This story from Harriet's childhood is a record of
courage. Even more, it's the story of God's faithfulness as He prepares her for
her adult calling to lead more than 300 people out of slavery through the Underground
In The Hallelujah Lass, Lawton tells the story of Eliza
Shirley, a 16-year-old girl who traveled from England to pioneer the work of the
Salvation Army in the United States. As a teenager growing up in nineteenth-century
England, Eliza was the picture of a proper young lady. But she longed
for more than an ordinary, middle-class life. When a group of Hallelujah Lassies
marches into Coventry with a ragtag bunch of followers, singing and banging tabourines,
even ensuing riots cannot keep Eliza away. She knows, at last, that this is the
work God has prepared for her. And she is ready, no matter what the cost.
Ransom's Mark, when 13-year-old Olive Oatman's wagon train is raided by
outlaw Yavapai Indians, she and her sister are captured. After enduring harsh treatment,
they are ransomed by a band of Mohaves. Olive struggles to adjust to her new life,
but finds comfort in her faith and in an unexpected friendship. When the time comes
for her to return to the white world, she is afraid she will never fit in. But she
learns to see the Mohave design tattooed on her chin as a sign of God's love and
deliverence, a mark of ransom.
Under the Baabab Tree
The Gambia, Africa 1761
She heard it again—that unmistakable bwaamb, bwaamb sound. It came from far away, but she was sure it was the tama, the talking drum.
Janxa stood still, straining to hear. She waited. Though she could do nothing about the buzz of insects and chattering of monkeys over the wet rice field, she barely breathed. Yes, it was the rhythmic tama voice carrying through the forest. The tonal variations sounded like a man talking.
"What do the drums say, Maamanding?" Janxa could pick out a few words, but her mother understood the language of the drums. "What are they saying?"
"Hush." Her mother had been bending over the young rice plants all morning, weeding and thinning. She planted her hands on either side of her back and straightened her body up, rubbing circles on her back. Her dress—her mbubba— had been tied up between her legs to keep it out of the water as she worked. She reached down to untie it as she continued to listen to the talking drum.
Other women who'd been working the rice fields stopped to listen as well. Janxa could see excitement light their eyes.
"What?" she asked her mother.
"The tama is from the village downriver. The griot is leaving their village. He will be here before the sun goes to sleep."
The griot!
Janxa wrapped her thin arms around herself as if she needed to squeeze in her excitement to keep it from exploding. Janxa had been birthed just before the start of the rains. But now, she had already passed her seventh rainy season. At seven, she was big enough to help her mother in the rice field and to keep her little brothers entertained back in the village. And, at seven, she had seen the griot at least that many times. Maybe more. She knew the fathers had been expecting him, but they never knew for sure when he'd arrive. Sometimes he had to stop in a village for a naming ceremony or to sing praises for the visit of an important person.
She had heard that some villages, very big villages, had their own griots. What would it be like to have the storyteller in your village every single day? How would you get any work done?
Her mother reached down to pick up her basket. "Come, child, we must go back and prepare food." She called out to the other women as they gathered children and tools. "What will you cook?"
"I have groundnuts to prepare," said one of the young mothers as she took a length of bright cloth and tied her baby around her chest for the walk back to the village.
The thought of groundnuts made Janxa's stomach rumble. She loved them no matter how they were cooked. She especially liked to eat them fresh.
"I will prepare couscous," said Dunxa. "My son supplies me with more millet from his last harvest than I can possibly use."
Janxa smiled. She knew the other women had grown tired of hearing Dunxa brag about her son. Today it wouldn't matter though. The griot was coming. Tonight would be a celebration.
As she balanced her mother's tools and hurried to keep up, she couldn't help thinking about the griot. She wondered if he'd bring his son.
"Why must the griot pass down his calling to his son?" she asked her mother. "What if a new storyteller were to come from another family?"
"It goes from father to son because it is Allah's will," her mother answered.
She should have known. That was the answer to everything. "But what if Allah chose someone else to become a griot?"
Her mother didn't answer. She just picked up her pace.
Janxa had to run and hop through the thick elephant grass to keep up. "What if a girl wanted to become a griot?"
Her mother stopped walking and turned to look at Janxa, who stopped as well. Maamanding spoke no words, but her look told her daughter she had asked one too many questions. "Come, daughter. We have work to do." Her mother turned again toward the village. "Women's work."
When they got to the village her mother went straight to their hut to begin making maize porridge. "Go fetch your brothers home," she said.
As Janxa drew close to the grandmother's hut she saw her little brother, Baaku, playing with sticks on the packed dirt outside the door. The grandmother sat on a bench holding the baby. Baaku ran to Janxa. "Did you hear the tama? Did you hear about the griot? He's coming."
"I did," she said, laughing at the excitement in her brother's voice. She turned toward the grandmother. "How do you fare today, Grandmother?" The grandmother was not her own grandmother, but everyone called her that out of respect.
"I fare well, Janxa." She jostled the baby to wake him. "I hope this one 's not too sleepy to walk."
"I can carry him."
The grandmother made a hooting sound. "You are too thin to carry this one." She squeezed the baby's thigh. "Little Caaman is nearly your size already."
Nothing irritated Janxa more, though she would never let on so as to dishonor the grandmother. She knew she was small, but it didn't mean she couldn't do things. It was true, her brothers were both born plump and sturdy. They had broad features and a rich dark skin. When her mother rubbed palm oil on them they were beautiful. Why did her own build have to be thin and delicate?
"He will walk," she said to the grandmother as she helped Caaman wake. "If they are good, I'll tell them a story while Maamanding prepares food."
Both boys clapped their hands. "We love Janxa's stories," Baaku said. He began to run ahead but stopped and came back to the grandmother. "Thank you for taking care of us today."
She patted his head before he took off. Janxa and Caaman followed.
"Slow down, Baaku. Caaman cannot keep up with you."
"Can you start the story?" he asked as he slowed his pace.
Janxa took a breath and began to wind out a tale in the soft tones of their Wolof language. Anyone listening closely could catch the rhythm of the talking drum in her telling. The rise and fall of her words conjured up crafty baboons, wise elephants, and no-good hyenas. Her brothers slowed their pace so as not to miss a single word.
* * *
The griot had been as good as his word. He arrived in the village just as the sun slipped behind the trees. He was welcomed by all the fathers and given the place of honor under the giant baobab tree. The oldest and most honored men sat nearest him, followed by the younger men and then the boys. The women and girls served food, carrying large decorated bowls made from calabash gourds. Even Janxa carried food.
The griot's son sat on the ground near his father's feet. He must have seen about ten or twelve rains. Janxa offered him a maize cake. How fortunate he was to be the son of a great griot.
Following the meal everyone stood to stretch. The women cleared the baskets and gourds and carried them to the huts. As soon as they returned, the drummer began to beat out a rhythm on the tama. It started slow but rose to a fevered pitch as dancers jumped into a clearing in the center of the swaying people. The griot joined the beat of the tama with music from his kora. Janxa loved watching the explosive movements of the dancers. They'd jump and lift their knees high into the air, colorful mbubbas flapping, all while keeping perfect rhythm.
After the dances and the food, everyone settled back to listen to the griot. The women sat apart from the men and boys but close enough that they didn't miss a word. Janxa settled herself against a nearby tree to listen.
The village elder began by asking questions about the other places the griot and his entourage had visited.
"I will tell you in due time," the griot answered, "but first let me sing of your village." He placed his kora in front of him and began to pluck the strings and sing.
You offer shelter to the wandering.
Under your tree the wise ones sit and talk.
You feed the children and the ancient ones.
Under your tree the wise ones sit and talk.
Your fields yield rice, juju beans, and millet.
Under your tree the wise ones sit and talk.
You tend to the goats and chase the baboons.
Under your tree the wise ones sit and talk.
He continued to sing praises of their village. Janxa watched his son mouthing the words after his father. Before he could become a griot he'd have to learn how to measure a village at a glance and create a song for them without any practice. He'd also have to be able to recite all the history of their people from as far back as anyone could remember.
Once the griot finished the praise song, he began to sing songs and tell stories of the great deeds of their people. How did he remember all the names, generation after generation? As her mother stood up to leave, carrying a sleepy Caaman and trailing a reluctant Baaku, Janxa begged to stay. She looked over at her father and he nodded, so her mother let her stay.
She could have listened all night. The griot's stories would stay forever in her memory, mingled with African night sounds—birds fussing as they settled in to roost, the roar of a faraway lion, the eerie laugh of a hyena scavenging for food, and the soft wind rustling the leaves of the baobab.
"After morning prayers," the griot said finally as the fire began to die, "I'll tell news of other people and about the great trouble."
No one dishonored him by asking further questions, but Janxa could see that many wanted to hear the news tonight.
She hadn't realized how tired she was, but when her father came over and picked her up to carry her back to her mother's hut she didn't protest. As she snuggled into his arms, she thought, This is my happy seat—right in the middle of my family.
* * *
Janxa watched her brothers sleep while her mother went out before dawn to draw water. Caaman made little sucking sounds with his lips as he slept. What kind of men would her brothers become? Would they be great hunters like their father?
She sat in the doorway of the hut so she could witness the beginning of the day and smell the richness of the damp earth before the hot sun began baking it.
Janxa watched her mother coming back with the gourd filled with water. For as long as she could remember, her mother had greeted the sun by raising her gourd high above her head and pouring a drizzle of water out as an offering. She'd then fall to her knees in prayer. Janxa loved watching her mother, straight and tall, lifting water to the sky.
"Come," her mother said as she brought the remaining water to the hut, "let's feed the family and go to the baobab to hear what the griot will tell us. Take this bowl to your father. When he has eaten you may go with him, and I'll meet you there."
Janxa took the bowl of porridge to her father's hut and waited quietly while he finished it. She washed the gourd with sand until it was clean.
"Will you go to your mother or come with me?" her father asked.
"May I come with you?"
He smiled at her. "Yes, little one, but you know you cannot sit with me."
She knew that. The fathers were honored and always sat apart. The boys as well. Her father even lived in a hut set apart from theirs—that was the way of her people.
As they drew closer, they could see that the griot had already started to sing a song of the morning.
When he finished, they all sat silently, waiting for him to begin.
"The treachery of the tubaab grows."
Janxa knew the word tubaab. It meant people with no color—white people. She heard the stories whispered often, but she'd never seen a tubaab. She had seen a white baboon once, but never a white man.
"The tubaab continues to steal our people. He's now taking more than just the slaves captured in battle."
Janxa knew that when one tribe fought another tribe, they took captives. Her village had not fought in her lifetime, so she didn't know anyone who'd been taken, but the mothers talked about people they once knew who never came back. They believed those captives had been sold to the tubaab.
"More often now, tubaab has African helpers who ambush warriors caught alone in the bush or young men guarding goats or crops." He stopped and pulled a piece of elephant grass from the ground. "They disappear never to be heard from again."
"What happens to these captives?" the elder asked.
"None have returned to tell. There are some who believe the tubaab take our people to eat them."
Janxa's heart beat hard against her chest. Eat them? She looked at her father. What would she do if someone took her father? She jumped when she heard the sudden chattering commotion of a group of monkeys far up in the branches of the baobab. Had they seen something? She looked at the faces of the fathers, but no one seemed concerned.
"They've begun taking many more of our people than ever before. We need to be on the lookout for these evil ones." He stopped and put a hand on his son's shoulder. "Even more troubling is that they've been taking children when they can't find men or women."
Children! Janxa looked around for her mother and scooted closer to where she sat with Baaku and Caaman. Who would ever take a child away from family? What kind of people were these tubaab?
CHAPTER 2Seng for a gazelle
The griot and his travelers had been in the village for nearly a moon when Lamin died. He'd been older than Janxa—old enough to go out and tend goats. It had been goats that had caused the trouble. Janxa heard her father telling her mother that one of the baby goats had gotten tangled in underbrush and Lamin, without poking the bush with a stick first, reached in to free the kid's leg. A snake bit him.
After one of the boys came to get help, she watched the fathers run to the field where the boys had been grazing the goats. As Lamin's father carried him back, Janxa could see that his arm had already started to swell.
For three days everyone hushed when they neared his mother's hut. Sometimes Janxa could hear his mother crying out. She wondered how long it would take for Lamin to get well.
"Lamin died," her mother told her in a whispery voice that morning. "It is a good thing since the griot is still here."
How could it be a good thing that he died? Janxa had seen enough death in her life to know it was not a good thing. She remembered the time she'd walked to the rice field with her mother just in time to see a leopard leap from a tree on top of a gazelle calf. Janxa could not look as the cat killed the helpless baby while the gazelle mother watched, frozen in place.
Janxa's mother had hurried her on to the rice field, telling her it was the way of nature, but as Janxa looked back she could see the leopard dragging the lifeless body up into a tree to feed on later.
As she worked beside her mother that day, she composed a praise song for the tiny gazelle.
From your mother's side you walked.
You feared not the predator.
You walked in trust.
You never knew, you never saw, you never felt.
I hold the memory of you forever.
She repeated it to herself, but she didn't dare tell her mother. No one but the griot made praise songs. She didn't have a tama or a kora, but when she was alone, while her mother cooked the meal that night, she upended her calabash bowl and, with a stick, beat out the rhythm of her song.
How she wished she could sing the song for her village. She wondered what it would be like if her song were to be remembered forever, just as she promised to remember the gazelle.
"How is it a good thing that Lamin died?" she asked her mother.
Her mother looked up from grinding the couscous. "What do you mean, a good thing?"
"You said it was a good thing Lamin died because the griot is still here."
Her mother made a high-pitched keening sound—almost a wail. "No, no. I only meant that his memory would last from generation to generation because the griot will make a song for him. It is not good that he died." Her mother ground the millet harder with her pestle. "But it is the will of Allah," she said, as if only remembering belatedly, "so maybe it is a good thing."
The will of Allah. Janxa had heard those words for as long as she could remember. What did they mean? Most times the words were followed by a shrug of the shoulders. It was almost like when the Harmattan raged—that great wind that blows off the Sahara. When Janxa had only seen two or three rains, she once told her mother, "Make it stop, Maamanding." She hated the way the sand got in her eyes and nose. She felt like she was eating dirt the whole time the Harmattan blew.

Latest News
Spring 2015 investigates the death penalty
Under what circumstances, if any, should our government put someone to death? Does our current system ensure that everyone gets a fair chance at justice? If there are problems, is it worth investing the necessary time and money to fix it?
After focusing our first few weeks on international issues, in our fourth case study we turned our attention to one of our thorniest domestic ethical issues: the death penalty. In our exploration we met with three distinguished attorneys, each at a different stage of his career. Each gave a different view on the topic and each provoked us into a greater understanding of the issue's complexities.
On Monday we met with Scott Atlas, a Houston-based attorney with a long and distinguished legal career. He spoke with the students about one of his most noted accomplishments: the pro bono exoneration of Ricardo Aldape Guerra, a Mexican national who spent nearly 14 years on Texas's death row for the alleged killing of a police officer. The case became a cause celebré in Mexico and for Latino activists in the United States. (After his release, Guerra returned home a national hero and took a job starring in a popular Mexican telenovela based on his life.)
Atlas, a supporter of the death penalty, gave a colorful summary of the case and his role in it. (The Rapoport Center for Human Rights and Justice at the University of Texas has archived information about the case; you can read its summary of the facts here.) He also shared some of the key institutional obstacles he faced along the way and suggested several ideas for improving the current system. And, of course, he took some challenging questions from students.
On Wednesday, we met with longtime SEGL favorite Clark Neily, a libertarian attorney most famous for his role representing the plaintiffs in District of Columbia v. Heller, the historic 2008 Supreme Court case that established an individual's Second Amendment right to own a gun for self-defense. Neily offered tentative support for the concept of a death penalty, but also some trepidation about government's ability to apply the death penalty fairly. He also defended libertarianism and explained how he conceived of and brought a case before the Supreme Court.
On Friday, we met with Ben Schrader, Assistant United States Attorney for DC. Schrader currently prosecutes national security cases, including terrorism and immigration cases. Though personally opposed to the death penalty for religious reasons, he works on cases that could result in the death penalty for the accused. How does he resolve this dilemma? He declines work on the sentencing phase of cases that could result in death for the convicted. (As you might imagine, this caused quite a lively discussion!) He also explained the nuts and bolts of prosecuting a case, and answered questions from students.
Meanwhile, it has been quite a weather week–two snow storms have brought our students out to play: frisbee, football, and good old-fashioned snowball fights. We can't wait for spring, but the winter sure is fun.
Next week: speechwriting with noted White House/State Department speechwriters Lissa Muscatine and Megan Rooney!
Israelis, Palestinians, and SEGL
The Israeli-Palestinian dispute is arguably the most intractable of our times. The disagreement is so fraught with anger and misunderstanding that many question every word, every historical event, every intention presented. And yet the problem remains, and will remain until we have leaders–perhaps including a few SEGL graduates–who conquer it.
This week, our students heard (and discussed) three key perspectives from three key leaders whose work continues to impact the conflict.Read More
Confronting Genocide: A week of extraordinary visits
How do we recognize and respond to the roots of genocide? How do we confront genocide when it happens? Before it happens? After it happens? These weighty questions inspired our second case study of the semester, and inspired our students toward new reflections, new conversations, and new choices.Read More

It also doesn't support browser-specific CSS features and won't compile unless your CSS is valid!
If I want to validate my CSS, I can use the W3C. One of the nice things about CSS is that the browser simply ignores rules it does not understand -- rather than completely failing to render.
It also doesn't support all CSS selectors, AND requires command line compiling, which must then be uploaded to your server.
What's wrong with existing server-side CSS tools? Variables, minifying and caching can be had all in one script. I've been using Minify since its creation (with mods for variables), and a new version is out.
Let's not reinvent the wheel! That's what Open Source is for!
