Southeast Regional Seed System
Regional engagement since 2011. In 2012, OSA conducted a Southeast seed needs assessment that represented more than 2,000 agricultural community members. Following the publication of these results, OSA convened a Southern Seed Working Group made up of farmers, university research, extension, seed companies, and other stakeholders to move recommendations forward. The working group has identified organic research and education initiatives for building a robust seed system that responds to the needs of organic agriculture in the Southeast. To learn more about our work in this region, and to become a major investor in this project, please contact Micaela Colley.
Also See:
"We know system diversity is one of the foundation stones to successful organic production and we have seen a demonstrated commitment from OSA to build that component of diversity relating to seed. I want to ensure my dollars to on-the-ground projects, a place where an emphasis to make an enduring difference is part of the mandate and where my dollars can be leveraged to build a stronger, healthier food system around the world."

Skip to comments.Want to ask a Muslim a question about Islam?
Posted on 05/17/2006 6:42:22 AM PDT by Son Of The Godfather
Ok friends,
It seems I've irked a Muslim in Britain with one of my postings somewhere. I received quite a scolding via e-mail from a gentleman who is certain the media distorts the truth about Islam, Muslims, etc...
After reading through the rant, I thought it would be a great opportunity to see if I could actually have a dialog about the wonderful "Religion of Peace" (this, after reading about how I'll think differently once they come for me).
Instead of a flame war with him, I'm going to actually see if he has any answers about some things in the Koran (ie: Mo's child bride, kill infidels wherever you find them, etc.) I'll keep it civil for now, as I'm curious how he will resolve some of these issues.
Anyone have questions they want me to include? Are there any websites you can recommend to give me ammo? (there was one that had listed all the evil things in the Koran that I'm trying to find).
Thanks in advance! Son Of The Godfather
You won't win the battle. The Quoran can only be understood by people who speak Arabic. It's their shield of defense when discussing what the Quoran says.
Ask him why we all can't just "get along"?
Read the book "The Prophet of Doom."
Good luck on that one.
I would suggest indepth history, but a brainwashed person is seldom able to remove the scales from their eyes.
Oh and one more thing. Read the Hadiths.
Watch your head, and also carefully inspect all packages before opening them, preferably with an explosives-sniffing K-9!!!
Ask him if he is willing to consider that the prophet was being mislead by a jinn or even shaitan.
I would be willing to bet you are looking for this one.
Try this one- According to the Koran an 'infidel' is someone who does not believe in God, or Allah or whatever name in your language.
How then do they justify killing 3000 people many of who were undoubtedly Christian and therefore did believe in God.
Why do the religious fanatics classify all non-muslims as 'infidels', even those that DO believe in God.
"Some think the new prophet will be born by a man.
After every bowel movement they examine the results to see if their new prophet has been born."
LOL!! You joke, but these idiots are capable of believing something that crazy.
5.51 O you who believe! do not take the Jews and the Cristians for friends; they are friends of each other; and whoever amongst you takes them for a friend, then surely he is one of them; surely Allah does not guide the unjust people
They are so brainwashed they are incapable of rational discourse.
That's the one!
Thanks for the suggestions everyone (and keep 'em coming).
OK, How come only brainwashed Muslims blow themselves up.
Why don't we hear of MULLAHS blowing themselves up?
Man, that's good stuff.
Ask him why so many muslim goat herders seem to be interested in "animal husbandry".
Are Christians infidels or not? We are Monotheists but they still think we're infidels. Good luck.
Honestly, I don't really care what this person says about Islam because unless they are an imam it really does not matter what their response is. Even then who cares? Frankly, you are wasting your time attempting to have a conversation with a robot.
Wow, first time I've heard that one! I guess people with their head up their arse see only s***, but I suppose if one examines one's "output" that carefully, then you can achieve the same result!
If Jesus and Mohammad are prophets sent by the same God, how come their teaching are diametrically opposite?
The Koran says that Jesus is a prophet. Jesus says he is God and/or son of God. Jesus therefore either truly is God, or he is a blasphemer. He therefore cannot be a prophet. Either way the Koran cannot be true. And if it's not true about this...
Ask him if he knows that the 72 virgins are all Helen Thomas clones and ask him if he would like to volunteer.
"Frankly, you are wasting your time attempting to have a conversation with a robot."
And there is the problem. I am not racist. I acknowledge that Arabs have, pre-islam, had a thriving culture. But islam is like weeds in a garden, choking out the flowers, slowly, but surely.
The children are raised from the moment of their birth in an environment of distrust, servitude, and hate. By the time they grow to be adults, there simply is no way to deal with them. They have become damaged in a significant, and dangerous way.
At first you'll think it is comedy, then realize it is totally serious.
Certainly this:
They don't consider us Monotheists because of the Trinity. They think we worship more than one God.
There - fixed it.
Anyone have questions they want me to include?
Good luck but you're unlikely to get very far. When one lives in a closed society and is indoctrinated from birth there is little chance that logic and rational thought will get through to him.
Methinks that Islamofascists and the Enviro-whackos will ultimately team up since they both totally loathe humanity.
There is a transcript of a lady whose initials are A.C. and whose name rhymes with pan bolter, (I dont have a picture to post so I wont mention her name) speaking at a university. In this speech a person of Islamic ancestry ask her why is being a Muslim worse than being a Christian? She responds with more testicular fortitude than any man I have seen. (Saying stuff like we don't rape our women for offenses, etc) I did a quick search on Google and couldnt find it; maybe someone else has a copy of the transcript.
No. I learned all I need to know on 9/11.
I know the tree by its' fruits...
Ask him why Islam refuses to subject the Koran to historical-critical and literary-critical scrutiny.
Ask him why the Koran affirms certain things about Jesus (e.g., that Jesus never died on the cross), when many texts from earliest Christianity (see above, for example) affirm just the opposite.
And make sure both understand the same definition of the word "is" before you start talking about child brides, killing infidels, etc. ...
Not only from earliest Christianity, but eye-witness accounts (Matthew and John) to boot. How can the Koran seriously refute eye witness accounts?
...this, after reading about how I'll think differently once they come for me...
I think that says it all. Where he's coming from, his ideas. Can there be an open, level playing field at this point? He, from his comments you mentioned, seems to be coming from a point where he feels superior to you because he's a misunderstood Muslim and you're an infidel, almost as though he's toying with you or hoping to convert you. And earning points with his Imam for taking on an infidel. I'd tread lightly.
Also... there are Roman records from the time in question that state a man named Jesus of Nazareth was crucified (unfortunately, I don't have the source. History Channel or Mysteries of the Bible most likely).
He won't answer truthfully, though, because of Taqqiyah... the practice of lying to infidels.
If you want to have some fun with him, start a faith dialogue. Ask him if he respects your faith. He does? Good. Jesus taught us to call God "Our Father"... your conversation is over at this point--that's blasphemy. Allah is not a father to the Muslims, he is an enslaver.
Anti -"Council on American-Islamic Relations"
Some good stuff on islamic beliefs, also.
Ask if Muslims wash the blood off, put on something white and pray after they kill. Killing is important, you have to kill infidels everywhere you find them, especially Jews. In the end times, rocks and trees will speak and say, "There's a Jew behind me. Kill him."
Ask why no Muslims ever help other Muslims ex. Afghanistan, Kosovo, Iraq. Other Muslims just go in to torture and kill. Ask why Sunnis hate Shias. Are they worshipping the Prophet or God? If they're worshipping God, does it matter to whom the Koran was given?
And that's not hyperbole: islam is the sole religion which defies the Common Notions of the others. In this context I'm defining Common Notions as those ideas that are left as common to each religion when their differences are discarded. For instance, the Golden Rule is voiced in each of the living religions, making it a Common Notion.
Where lying is roughly "uniformly" considered "self delusion" in eastern religions and "sin" in western religions, it is perfectly acceptable in islam so long as the muslim is lying to a non-muslim. Murder is not acceptable in any religion except islam, where it is encouraged if the victim is not islamic. Not only is it encouraged but it's all the better if the muslim is able to use the infidel to their own advantage before the killing. Although, in all fairness to islam, the victim is supposed to be given the opportunity to repent prior to the murder.
Now, this is not to say that all muslims are bad nor that all Taoists or Christians are good: there are individuals in every faith who are worthless and evil in every sense of those concepts. And almost no practitioner of any religion is capable of reaching the ideal goals of their religion: but the highest goals in islam are not absolute: they are tainted with worldliness. Seriously, in what other religion is the idea of sex in the afterlife given any serious consideration? Not only sex but funky monkey sex where a women is reduced to being 1 of 72 sex toys.
I mean, let's get real here, if you knew a man whose stated goal in life was to have sex with 72 virgins, you would probably consider him a worthless pig of a human being. Who would want to be friends with a man like that? His entire life would be devoted to manipulating innocent young girls into bed. Most people would consider such a man a mentally unbalanced sex predator but in many islamic enclaves, that's part of the reward for a devout life.
Lets face it, there's no reasoning with animals.

Just A Thought
@ESPN_Burnside: The Boston Bruins whipped the Toronto Maple Leafs 5-2 Sunday night with a lineup depleted by injury and potential suspension. And if the league has any gumption -- and, oh, how many times have we wondered that aloud? -- the Bruins will be a long time without Shawn Thornton. We have had all kinds of time for Thornton over the years, and people forget that until the rugged winger reappeared in the Boston lineup in the 2011 Stanley Cup finals, the Bruins were done like dinner against Vancouver. For us, he has embodied the kind of player who is a palatable alternative to the so-called pure fighter who does nothing else but punch other like players in the face. But to watch him hunt down Brooks Orpik on Saturday night and throw the unsuspecting Pittsburgh Penguins defenseman to the ice and then punch him at least twice while Orpik lay on the ice, sending Orpik off the ice on a stretcher and then to the hospital, it turned our stomach. And it should turn the stomach of Brendan Shanahan, even though the Bruins moaned that Orpik's hit earlier on Loui Eriksson earlier was "borderline." That hit was shoulder to chest and was not whistled as a penalty, even though Eriksson left the game and wasn't in the lineup Sunday. That Thornton pursued his own form of justice is exactly the kind of play that should be dealt with quickly and harshly. In short, the Bruins will have to get used to playing without Thornton for the next month or so.
@CraigCustance: That road trip could have gone better for San Jose. The Wild beat the Sharks on Sunday despite managing just 13 shots, leaning heavily on Josh Harding, who turned in another outstanding home start. San Jose surprisingly limps home after being bested in three of four road games to start December. The most concerning thing? The power play has been nonexistent. An 0-for-4 performance against the Wild means San Jose has converted just one power-play goal in its past five games, a span in which it has had 18 opportunities. They Sharks dropped to 17.6 percent on the season, surprising considering the offensive talent they have at their disposal. Factor in an average penalty kill (82.1 percent), and special teams might be the issue that trips up one of the league's best even-strength teams.
@Real_ESPNLeBrun: The Vancouver Canucks are 2-0-0 on what one organizational source considered a huge home trip before the season even began. Sunday's win over Colorado was another big step in making the Western race include the Canucks in the conversation. Specifically in the NHL's top division, the Pacific, the Canucks are hanging in there thanks to four straight wins overall. It's a critical win streak at a time when people questioned if the Canucks could hang in the race. Answer: They intend to.
@KatieStrangESPN: Speaking of the rough stuff, the Rangers seemed to be lacking the requisite sandpaper and snarl needed even to hang tough in an underwhelming Metropolitan Division matchup against the Washington Capitals on Sunday night. The Rangers showed little fight or fire in an uninspired 4-1 loss to the Caps, and grit has to be a concern moving forward. Consider this: 5-foot-7 Norwegian winger Mats Zuccarello was the one who got up in Alex Ovechkin's grill after No. 8's hard hit on veteran center Brad Richards. Again, that's 5-foot-7 Mats Zuccarello. Both Chris Kreider and Rick Nash showed some feistiness too, but should this really be a task for the team's skill players? Without Derek Dorsett in the lineup, the Rangers lack toughness and moxie. Gone are the days of the supremely effective Brandon Prust, and so too is the winning record as the Rangers are stuck in neutral at 15-15-1. I'm not suggesting the Rangers employ a heavyweight enforcer a la the days of John Scott, but extra physicality on the ice night in and night out wouldn't hurt, either.

"I'm not going to comment on that, obviously never like to see anything like that. Thought the confrontation was over after, you know, he asked him to fight a few times and kept going after him."

The doors are open!!!
Hostel season 2016 has officially started. We've already had record temperatures here in the "Golden Heart City" and therefore people have been showing up here earlier than usual. It's quite nice to have a flock of guest from around the world in the middle of May already.
After 3 years of hard work I finally decided to hire an official manager, a couple from Colorado, who will help me out this season managing all the craziness that hostel life provides for the next 4 months. Their names are Trae and Kassie. They moved to Eagle River this past winter and decided to check out what life north of the Alaska Range is all about. Having lived in the Mat-Su valley myself for many years I'm aware of how incredible of a step it is to move north of the Alaska Range, called the Interior.
So, wherever you may be, make sure to make Sven's your mandatory stop once you'll arrive in Fairbanks. We are a 5 min cab ride from the Airport, walking distance to Fred Meyer (supermarket) and have a bus stop right at our driveway. You will arrive as a guest and leave as a friend.

What's Wrong With Biting My Nails?
Crunch, crunch, crunch. Do you bite your nails? Some kids and adults do this, especially when they're feeling nervous. But it's not a healthy habit.
Here's why:
Your fingernails have a couple of big jobs to do. They protect your fingertips and make it easier for you to pick up tiny things, like loose threads. They also come in handy when you have an itch that needs scratching.
But when you bite your nails, your nails aren't there to do those things. And by biting them, you are breaking the skin and maybe bringing germs into these openings in your skin. In fact, some people bite their nails and cuticles down so far, they bleed! When germs invade, they can get an infection.
Speaking of germs, there are germs under your fingernails, so when you bite them, those germs can go into your mouth. Think about all the icky stuff you touch all day long, like your baby sister's drool-dripping pacifier, your stinky gym socks, or slimy earthworms for your science project. You don't want those nasty germs getting in your mouth.
If you want to stop biting your nails, good for you! Because nail biting is a habit, you may not realize you are doing it. Ask your parents, other family members, or friends to tell you if they notice you biting your nails.
If sheer willpower isn't getting you anywhere, you might want to ask your mom or dad to buy you a special colorless nail polish that makes your nails taste awful. This can help you learn to stop biting them. It may also help keep your nails trimmed and looking good — so good you don't want to chomp on them!

London-based luxury clothing and accessory brand, Grosvenor Shirts, has purchased Eurostop's retail software and reporting systems that will help shape key business decisions going forward. The company, which was granted Royal Appointment in November 2013, selected Eurostop's e-rmis suite of head office management applications and e-pos electronic point-of-sale solutions. The solution was installed in time for the opening of the new London flagship store in Jermyn Street.
Karl Dunkley, Managing Director of Grosvenor Shirts, gave one example of the benefits that the company is already receiving; "We can now link customer spend in-store to the live sales and stock database, which helps us achieve our high standards of personal customer service. Now, when a customer returns in the future, or if their spouse wishes to buy them a gift, we will know what collar size they are and which styles they prefer."
Staff capture customer details at the point of sale and this is linked to the individual transaction in the e-rmis stock control database. This gives the company a depth of statistical information that was previously unavailable. "The solution is easy to use and has a proven track record in this sector," adds Dunkley. "Even after only two months we can analyse information about in-store purchases such as popular colours and sizes and this is already presenting us with the ability to adjust manufacturing, which will ultimately reduce our costs."
Phillip Moylan, Sales and Marketing Manager at Eurostop added, "High value own label brands like Grosvenor Shirts are built on a reputation for quality and personal service. Our EPOS functionality gives them the information they need to achieve that at the point of sale, whilst our e-rmis stock control software and reporting enables them to make improved business decisions."
Grosvenor Shirts will shortly go live with a new online store, which will integrate directly with Eurostop's live sales and stock data. The company can already see the benefit of moving forward with other modules such as online customer loyalty and gift accounts.

Adrianne Curry Has A Job
I have to apologize. I thought Adrianne Curry was only a professional Twitter model, but it turns out she's also a professional magazine signer. Here she is dressed up as Dark Lily at the Comikaze Expo in LA and I can't believe there are nerds who'd actually pay to have her autograph. You'd that they would be smarter than that, but I guess not. You know, I'm actually friends with Wonder Woman. That's right,the "real" Wonder Woman and if you guys send me $20 to my PayPal account, I can get her to give you a call. Did I mention, she talks dirty? Email me for more info.

Carlos Gomez could slide ahead in the lineup
After injuries forced him to juggle his lineup for the first month of the season, Milwaukee Brewers manager Ron Roenicke finally has everyone (aside from Corey Hart) in the slots he prefers.
But with the way Carlos Gomez has been hitting of late, Roenicke said this morning that he may well have to consider moving his speedy centerfielder higher in the batting order.
Gomez, who came into today leading the National League in hitting at .373, has hit either sixth or seventh in 23 of the 28 games he's played to this point.
But with Rickie Weeks continuing to slump -- he's at .185 currently -- might Gomez be a candidate to move into that spot? Gomez ranks third on the Brewers in home runs with six, and his slugging percentage (.647) and OPS (1.070) are tops on the team among regulars.
"His at-bats are better," Roenicke said. "We'll see how we go. Whether it's the fifth spot, sixth, I'm not sure where he really ideally fits in because he's hitting the ball so well. There's a good case for him moving up to one or two, also.
"Part of (his success so far) is where he is. But there may come a time where I want to move him up somewhere up at the beginning. To have that kind of speed and be able to disrupt people if you get on base like he's getting on base now, maybe that's where he belongs."
Gomez has hit second three times this season, and sits at .375 with a homer, three RBI and a .375 on-base percentage.
In years past, suggesting Gomez hit first or second would have been a stretch to say the least because of his free-swinging ways and lack of walks.
But he's already walked six times this year compared to two through the same number of games in 2012 (albeit as part of a platoon), and has his on-base percentage up to a sparking .423 as a result.
Gomez also has seven stolen bases.
The problem with moving Gomez up that high this year is Norichika Aoki has proven to be such a spark in the leadoff spot, a recent slump not withstanding, and Jean Segura is hitting .336 in the second spot.
"It would require moving somebody out of the first and second spot, too, which I don't want to do," Roenicke said.
"There are some things we can do to change our lineup. Look at today's lineup, 6-7-8, that's pretty good for what they've been doing. I don't think you always necessarily have to score in the top part. If (the bottom guys) are doing their jobs, you're going to be more consistent as an offense if you can do that."
- Jonathan Lucroy withheld from lineup because trade talks 'progressing'
- Jonathan Lucroy not in Brewers' lineup
- Jonathan Lucroy in lineup; Ryan Braun out
- Jonathan Lucroy has right to block trade to Cleveland
- Craig Counsell wants Jonathan Villar to learn lesson
- Brewers look to take series from Diamondbacks
- Brewers place Jacob Barnes on DL, recall Michael Blazek
- Keon Broxton, Jake Elmore get starts in outfield
- Having to shut down Domingo Santana again 'a big setback'
- Jean Segura, Rickie Weeks return to Miller Park

Each bite is like enjoying a delectable strawberry chocolate truffle. This recipe is from More Splendid Low-Carbing.
1/2 cup ground almonds, (125 mL)
2 tbsp SPLENDA® Granular (25 mL)
1 tbsp oat, soy, OR whole wheat pastry flour (15 mL)
2 tbsp butter, melted (25 mL)
1 egg yolk
16 oz reg. cream cheese, softened (500 g)
8 oz light cream cheese, softened (250 g)
1 cup sour cream (250 mL)
1 cup SPLENDA® Granular (250 mL)
2 eggs
2 tsp vanilla extract (10 mL)
1/4 cup cocoa (50 mL)
1/4 cup SPLENDA® Granular (50 mL)
1 tbsp vegetable oil (15 mL)
2/3 cup frozen unsweetened strawberries, thawed (150 mL)
1/2 cup SPLENDA® Granular (125 mL)
1/8 tsp Thickening Agent, page 60, OR Xanthan gum (0.5 mL)
2 tbsp vital wheat gluten, OR any other gluten-free flour product (25 mL)
Crust: In medium bowl, combine ground almonds, SPLENDA® Granular and oat flour. Stir in butter and egg yolk. In 9-inch (23 cm) springform pan, cover with plastic wrap; press crust out. Bake in 350°F (180°C) oven 5 minutes. (I used a pie dish here, however, had to make mini cheesecakes with the surplus batter.)
Filling: In food processor with sharp blade, blender or in bowl with electric mixer, process cream cheeses until smooth. Add sour cream, 1 cup (250 mL) SPLENDA® Granular, eggs and vanilla extract; process. In small bowl, stir 11/2 cups (375 mL) batter, cocoa, 1/4 cup (50 mL) SPLENDA® Granular and oil together. In blender, blend strawberries, 1/2 cup (125 mL) SPLENDA® Granular, and Thickening Agent, page 60 or Xanthan gum until smooth. Add to remaining batter, along with vital wheat gluten or alternate gluten-free flour; process. Seal springform pan with foil all around. Pour half strawberry mixture over crust, dollop with half chocolate mixture over top; repeat. Swirl through layers. Bake in water bath (place in larger pan with boiling water coming about 1-inch (2.5 cm) up sides of springform pan) 10 minutes in 400°F (200°C) oven. Reduce heat to 250°F (120°C); bake 55 minutes. Garnish with chocolate curls, page 78, and glazed strawberries.

Helpful Hint: In order to reduce carbs, replace much of the Splenda with powdered erythritol (0 g carbs! Search my blog for information on this). Erythritol is less sweet than Splenda, so combining the two produces the best synergy.

Jennifer, could a liquid sweetener be used in place of the granular?

Absolutely! I preferentially use liquid sucralose these days. Splenda Granular offers practically no volume to baked goods, so not to worry.

Stephen Zunes : Syria
Syria after the Ceasefire
2 March 2016
The partial ceasefire in Syria announced by the United States and Russia on February 23 has been met with less than overwhelming optimism, and, after so much bloodshed and the entrenchment of hardline positions, it is not hard to see why. The accord stipulates that the Syrian government and allied groups, including Russia, end attacks against opposition forces that are party to the agreement and these opposition forces suspend military operations. Both sides must refrain from seizing additional territory and allow "rapid, unhindered and sustained access" to humanitarian agencies.
Obama's Escalation in Syria

President Obama's announcement that he would send up to 50 U.S. Special Forces to "train, advise and assist" armed militia fighting forces of the so-called "Islamic State" in Syria marks an escalation in U.S. military involvement in that country.

Why I don't care about open core any more
For reasons that I will blog about in a couple of weeks, several people last week asked me what I think about open core. My answer was that nowadays I don't care much about the topic. Long time readers of this blog might be surprised at such an answer, so I thought this was a good time to reflect on why I don't think it is very important anymore, and more importantly to document the empirical evindence that we now have about open core as a business strategy.

HowTo deploy a sharded MongoDB Cluster with AWS CloudFormation

One liner to find a shard in a MongoDB cluster
I occasionally post so called "one liners", shell commands that can be used to filter out some data I need. The main reason I do this is that I can later find this when I try to google for it. This will be my first one liner for MongoDB. Ok, so it is actually 3 related one liners.
If you need to find out if a shard is already part of your MongoDB cluster, try this:
echo "db.shards.find()" | mongo $MONGOS/config | grep Shard4 | wc -l
The result will be either 1 or 0.
Now, if the shard exists, you might want to know a hostname and port number of one of the members of that replicaset:

Mapping preferential voting into approval voting, take two
Yesterday I described my first ideas at mapping the preferential voting method used in Liquid Feedback, to an approval voting method as supported by Helios Voting.
After writing it I had a Heureka moment and went back to check some details on how Liquid Feedback, and in particular the Schulze method actually works. It turns out it is not necessary at all to keep a record of the +N ... 0 ... -N scores given to each vote, this is merely an implementation approach used in Liquid Feedback. The only thing that is really needed is just the pairwise comparisons of all alternatives. This is stored in Liquid Feedback in the
battle table. In fact, that is precisely what Solon delivers back to Liquid Feedback as results of the voting.

Reverse Engineering Helios Voting Server and encoding preferential voting as approval voting
It's been a while since I last did any hacking on Solon Voting. Solon is my project to implement secure e-voting for delegated democracy platforms. You can read previous blogs here.
When I started Solon, I was first focused on just tweaking Liquid Feedback in order to enable use of cryptographically secure e-voting algorithms. I wasn't aware that an open source implementation of a homomorphic e-voting algorithm actually exists. But then a couple of people introduced me to Helios Voting. This has been great news. What remains now is basically to glue together Helios with the already existing Solon-LiquidFeedback combination, and we will have a first ever cryptographically secure voting solution for delegated democracy. Of course, this is a very rough prototype, but it will properly encrypt the votes and will produce verifiably correct results.
Last week I had some vacation, so I finally had time to play with Helios a bit more. The results of this week's hacking are now committed on Github.

On cryptographic e-voting algorithms in general
It's been a few months ago that I wrote a series of blog posts about Solon Voting. Solon is a project I started in July to implement cryptographically secure e-voting for direct democracy platforms, in particular Liquid Feedback which is used by the Pirate Party and other organizations in Central Europe. In the previous posts I already covered how delegated voting works, and how to divert the data flow of Liquid Feedback so that the voting phase could be handled by a cryptographically secure e-voting module. In the last post I then went on to look at requirements for secure e-voting. Those requirements are frequently referenced in this post.
Having laid out the requirements, I want to spend this post on briefly talking about the algorithms that exist for cryptographically secure e-voting. This is very superficial of course, it's intended to be layman understandable for those that don't really want to read the highly mathematical academic papers on the topic. If you do want to read academic papers, you can find lots of them on Google Scholar, just search for "e-voting" and you're all set for months to come! (No, I'm not qualified to recommend you any good papers. Just go and Google for something just like I did and if you find something interesting, let me know!)

Gordon won for the first time in 48 races with his victory Sunday in the Samsung 500 at the 1½-mile, high-banked Texas Motor Speedway, one of only two active tracks where the four-time NASCAR Sprint Cup champion had never won a race.
It was the 17th Cup race at Texas, the track where Gordon has the only two last-place finishes in his 552 career starts.
Gordon got his 82nd career victory by 0.542 seconds over Johnson.
Carl Edwards, going for his third consecutive Cup victory at Texas, was leading when the final caution came out with 30 laps left. But Edwards had problems in the pits, dropping 10 spots while Gordon went from third to first and stayed there.

I have a Toshiba L505-ES5018 running Windows 7. Using the wireless adapter, I cannot upload videos and pictures to any of the social networking sites. The host will time-out or indicate that "an error has occurred."
I can upload from other computers on my network running XP and can from the Toshiba when it is connected by cable to my network.
I am not having the connectivity problems other posters have had. All network functions work properly except uploading videos and pictures.
I have not modified any of the stock or standard settings and even removed my anti-virus program, but no luck.
Has anyone else had this problem and if so, what is the fix.

Only video and pictures? And only using the wireless? That's a really peculiar story, Mike.
I suspect either malware or your malware protection. Tell us about it.
I only have Kaspersky anti-virus 2010 running and as I stated, I uninstalled it then tried unsuccessfully to upload a small video to YouTube.
I've also recently had a problem downloading programs over an hour from my Tivo via Tivo ToGo. The Tivo desktop program will state that the network connection was lost. But thats just my laptop connected through my wireless router to Tivo which is connected as a wired connection to that router.
I'm not sure if the two problems are related.
Let's try a couple of experiments, Mike.
What happens when you boot into Safe Mode with Networking?
Advanced startup options (including safe mode)
What happens when you use another user account?
1. Started Windows in Safemode. Tried to upload test video file (128 Mb) to YouTube. Failed after 5 minutes of no progress with message: The upload failed to an unknown error.
2. Set up another user, switched user, tried to upload test fie to YouTube. Failed after five minutes with same message.
When I look at my wireless connection, it tells me that the signal strength is excellent, Security Type WEP, and Radio Type is 802.11g.
I don't think the problem is in my router (Netlink) because the same error occurred earlier this year with a different cable modem / router (Linksys). Both of these routers are about 5 years old.

(Been away for awhile) Thanks for the links and suggestions however, after reviewing them all and trying them, uploading on this laptop still doesn't work.
Here's what I've done so far:
Uninstalled Kaspersky - no luck uploading a small video to YouTube
Reinstalled Kaspersky
Turned off Windows 7 firewall - no luck uploading a small video to YouTube
Re-enabled Windows 7 firewall
Added YouTube to Kaspersky exception list - no luck uploading...
Just to repeat, on my Windows 7 Toshiba Satellite laptop I cannot, via wireless:
Upload images to eBay when listing an item,
Upload videos to YouTube through my account,
Upload music to my Facebook account.
I can upload those items through the Toshiba's wired port but it is extremely extremely slow.
I can upload those items to XP computers on my home network at expected speeds (DSL 3-5 mb).
We'll need to begin experimenting with things that make no sense.
What happens when you turn the security off on the router?
I finally figured out what the problem was. On the Toshiba laptop there is a LAN port and an internal wireless adapter.
When both are enabled in the CMOS, uploading works on the LAN but errors are generated by the sites when you try to upload wireless.
By disabling the LAN in CMOS, wireless uploading works.
Thanks for everyone's help and suggestions.
By disabling the LAN in CMOS, wireless uploading works.
Good detective work, Mike!
But of course that's not the way your computer is supposed to work. Both wireless and LAN are normally enabled in the BIOS.
Many folks switch back and forth. I do.

Three men were jailed Sunday morning following a shooting outside of a northeast Carson City nightclub.
Santiago Robles-Llamas, 21; Jose Luis Llamas-Rios, 21, and Agustin Sanchez-Nava, 19, are each being held in the Carson City Jail on suspicion of felony assault with a deadly weapon and gross misdemeanor discharging a firearm in a populated area.
There were no injuries reported.
According to Carson City Sheriff's Detective Bob Motamenpour, officers were called out to Club JB Latin Nightclub on Old Hot Springs Road just before 5 a.m. Sunday on the report of shots fired in the area.
When police arrived, witnesses reported that three men were inside the nightclub when an argument broke out. The men left and then returned later with a gun.
"They grabbed an unknown victim, had him in a headlock and fired several rounds next to his head into the ground," said Motamenpour. "Another suspect came back and started shooting into the air."
Motamenpour said the three then fled into a nearby field.
At daybreak officers located evidence in the field, and GPS was able to track a signal on one of the suspect's cell phones to a home in the 4000 block of Louise Drive.
Investigators found Robles-Llamas, Llamas-Rios and Sanchez-Nava in the basement of the home about 8 a.m., said Motamenpour.
Three weapons were also allegedly recovered from a motor home on the property.
Motamenpour said deputies were unable to locate the victim. It's believed that no one was hit by the gunfire.
Anyone with information on this incident is asked to call Carson City Sheriff's non-emergency dispatch number at 887-2007 and ask for Detective Motamenpour.
Robles-Llamas, Nava and Llamas-Rios are each being held on $20,000 bail.
All three are suspected of being in the country illegally and likely will have an immigration hold placed on them, said Motamenpour.

Unwind and get some R&R with two products by AHAVA. Lavender Mineral Bath Salts will sink you into a nice, peaceful, non stressful slumber. The scent works to soothe the senses and promote well-being -- which is why busy model Bar Rafaeli is most likely a fan.

Just once, it would be nice to hear a radio-TV baseball announcer say something like, "This next batter is a real jerk. His feet smell. Nobody on his team will talk to him. Besides that, he couldn't hit a slider low and outside with a billboard." Such candor is unlikely, but the six broadcasters who wrote these analyses of current major leaguers—the authors include Hall of Fame players Kiner and Robinson—pussyfoot less than usual. Of New York Met Dave Kingman's fielding, they write: "A liability no matter where he plays." Of Cub pitcher Allen Ripley: "Tries hard, but has a small amount of ability." There's still a lot of baseball card puffery, but this is a far more informative guide than any other book of its kind. (Harper & Row, $12.95)

Russia's President Dmitri Medvedev has called for the release of kidnapped soldier Gilad Shalit at a meeting with Hamas leaders in Damascus.
President Medvedev also called for the Middle East to rid itself of nuclear weapons and signed a bilateral agreement with Syrian President Bashar al-Assad.
Russia is the only country which has direct relations with Hamas.
President Medvedev's spokeswoman, Natalya Timkova, said: "The Russian president urged solving the problem of releasing Israeli citizen Gilad Shalit as soon as possible."
The daughter of a senior Hamas official in Gaza has been treated for a heart condition by Israeli surgeons in Ashkelon, as she was too sick to travel to Jordan.
The girl, aged 3, who is the daughter of Hams Interior Minister Elham Fathi Hammed had previously been treated unsuccessfully in Gaza.
Jordan's King Abdullah is believed to have personally requested the Israeli authorities to allow the girl to be transported through Israel for surgery in Jordan.
Hamas has ordered Gazans to shut down the network of tunnels used for smuggling along the border with Egypt, in an unprecedented move.
Gazans told Israeli media that they believed the closure of the tunnels was in response to security requests from Egypt. The move comes shortly after Israelis were advised to leave the Sinai peninsula after an urgent warning of an imminent kidnap attempt by Hamas.
A truce with Israel and the prospects of inter-Palestinian reconcilliation were discussed on Sunday night at a meeting of several Gaza factions.
Islamic Jihad, Hamas, the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) and the Democratic Front all participated attended the meeting, described by Hamas spokesman Ayman Taha as the "first fruits" of a series of inter-Palestinian talks.
The representatives gathered as a rocket launched from the Gaza Strip missed a kibbutz in the Western Negev.
Hamas may carry out death sentences for men convicted of "collaboration with Israel" within days.
Amnesty International reports that Hamas officials have indicated the sentences may be carried out in the next few days.
Fourteen people are known to have been sentenced to death in Hamas' military courts, which do not meet international standards for fair trials.
However, more could be facing execution for charges of collaboration, treason and murder.
Israel's embassy in London is poised to hear whether one of its senior diplomats is to be expelled by Britain, as punishment for Israel's alleged involvement in the Dubai assassination of Hamas leader Mahmoud Mabhouh in January.
Reports in today's Daily Telegraph say that Ambassador Ron Prosor was summoned to the Foreign Office yesterday and told that Britain formally blames Israel for the cloning of up to 15 British passports during the Dubai operation.
A ministerial statement is due in the House of Commons later today.
The European Parliament have passed a motion calling for the immediate release of abducted Israeli soldier Gilad Shalit.
MEPs from across the political spectrum signed a letter to EU Foreign Policy chief Lady Catherine Ashton, who will visit Israel and Palestinian areas next week. Israel will open the Erez crossing into Gaza for Lady Ashton's visit.
Gilad Shalit, 23, was abducted almost four years ago by Hamas terrorists. No Red Cross members or negotiators have seen him, but videos and photographs have been released.
Israel will allow the European Union Foreign Affairs Representative, Baroness Catherine Ashton, and United Nations Secretary General Ban Ki-Moon, to enter the Gaza Strip, in an apparent reversal of policy.
Baroness Ashton will visit next week and Mr Ban in April. Both asked Israel to open the Erez crossing into Gaza for their delegations.
Since Hamas took control of the Strip in 2007, Israel has enforced a ban on visitors. The closure was designed to delegitimise Hamas and help the Fatah-controlled Palestinian Authority assert its leadership.
Ireland's Foreign Minister Micheál Martin has called the situation in Gaza "inhumane and unacceptable" after a visit to the region.
Mr Martin, who is the first European Union foreign minister to visit the Gaza Strip in over a year, has called on the EU to put pressure on Israel to end its blockade of Gaza.
Writing in the International Herald Tribune, Mr Martin said: "The tragedy of Gaza is that it is fast in danger of becoming a tolerated humanitarian crisis."
Hamas will ban male hairdressers from working in women's hair salons in the latest bid to impose stricter Islamic law in the Gaza strip.
The Interior Ministry, which announced the new law, has warned of stern consequences for anyone found disobeying.
Islamic women are traditionally not allowed to show their hair to men who are not members of their family.

Zou Kai
Zou Kai (simplified Chinese: 邹凯; traditional Chinese: 鄒凱; pinyin: Zōu Kǎi; born February 25, 1988 in Luzhou, Sichuan) is a five-time Olympic and five-time World champion Chinese gymnast, specializing in the floor exercise and the horizontal bar.
Zou won his first three olympic gold medals at the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing, resulting in a nomination for the Laureus World Sports Award for Breakthrough of the Year in 2009. He later won two additional gold medals at the 2012 Olympic Games in London.[2]
With a total of five gold medals and one bronze, Zou currently holds the record for most Olympic gold medals won by any Chinese athlete in Olympic history, and is tied for the record of most medals won overall.[3]
Competitive career[edit]
World Championships debut[edit]
Zou made his debut at the 2006 World Artistic Gymnastics Championships in Aarhus, helping the Chinese Team win gold, and placing sixth at the individual floor exercise final.
At the 2007 World Artistic Gymnastics Championships in Stuttgart, he achieved the same results, winning the team competition and again placing sixth on floor.[4]
2006 Asian Games[edit]
Zou participated in the 2006 Asian Games in Doha, winning gold in the floor exercise and silver in the horizontal bar individual events, as well as a gold medal as part of the Chinese team.
2008 Summer Olympics[edit]
On his Olympic debut at the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing, he contributed to the team's gold and also won unexpected individual gold medals at the floor exercise and the horizontal bar scoring 16.050[5] and 16.200 respectively.
Zou was the second Chinese Olympian to receive three gold medals at a single Olympic Games, following Li Ning who first achieved the feat at the 1984 Summer Olympics, and was the most successful Chinese athlete at the Beijing Olympics, with the most gold medal wins.
2009 World Championships[edit]
During the 2009 World Artistic Gymnastics Championships in London, Zou won a gold medal in the individual horizontal bar event and also won a silver medal at the floor exercise individual event.
2011 World Championships[edit]
After being left out of the Chinese Gymnastic Team at both the 2010 World Championships in Rotterdam and the 2010 Asian Games in Guangzhou, due to weaknesses in the apparatuses he did not specialize in, Zou again won two gold and one silver medal at the 2011 World Artistic Gymnastics Championships in Tokyo, matching his feat at the 2009 Championships.
2012 Summer Olympics[edit]
At the 2012 Summer Olympics in London, he led the team to win gold and later successfully defended his Olympic title at the floor exercise, winning gold again, only the second to do so in the men's floor exercise following Soviet Gymnast Nikolai Andrianov who won the event in 1972 and 1976. He was unable to defend his title in the horizontal bar however, finishing less than two tenths of a point behind the lead, eventually winning a bronze medal in the event.[6] The last gymnast to successfully defend his Olympic title on the high bar was Mitsuo Tsukahara, who won the event in 1972 and 1976, at the same Olympics as Andrianov.
With a total of five Olympic gold medals, he holds the record for most golds won by any Chinese athlete in Olympic history, and by adding a bronze medal to the tally, he tied the record for most medals overall, with six.
2014 Asian Games[edit]
Zou participated in the 2014 Asian Games in Incheon, winning gold in both the floor exercise and horizontal bar individual events, as well as a bronze medal as part of the Chinese team.
Charitable work[edit]
Zou Kai, a Sichuan native, auctioned off one of his Olympic gold medals in 2008, donating all proceeds to fund relief efforts in the aftermath of the 2008 Sichuan earthquake.[7] Out of the three gold medals he'd earned at the 2008 Summer Olympics, he chose the medal won for his floor exercise routine for its special significance since only two other Chinese gymnasts had ever won it, Li Ning and Li Xiaoshuang.
