"Then verily, having crossed the narrow strait of the Hellespont,
The devastating host of the Gauls shall pipe".
(Paus. X, 15: 2-3)
In 278 BC a group of Celts broke off from Brennos' main force in the Balkans and, under two chieftains called Leonnorius and Lutarius, crossed into Asia-Minor (277 BC), where a Celtic state was founded which subsequently became known as Galatia.
Despite the popular misconception that these 'Galatians' represented a large proportion of the Celts who had migrated into southeastern Europe in the previous decades, they were originally a relatively small group consisting of 20,000 people (Livy 38.16:9). Indeed, while historians have traditionally translated the testimony of Livy as 20,000 men (latest Delev 2003:108), the Roman author actually speaks of 'homines' not 'viri' – i.e. people, not men (see Boteva 2010: 37), and we are further told that 'of these 20,000 people, not more than 10,000 were armed' (Livy op cit). Thus, the Celts who migrated into Asia-Minor in 277 BC consisted of no more than 10,000 warriors, accompanied by their families. To put this into context, the central Celtic army in the Balkans in 279 BC had consisted of 150,000 infantry and at least 10,000 – 15,000 cavalry. Nonetheless, the small Celtic force who migrated into Asia-Minor was to have a significant geo-political impact on the region.

One question which has never been satisfactorily addressed is the exact ethnic origin of the 'Celts' who migrated into southeastern Europe and Asia-Minor at the end of the 4th / beginning of the 3rd c. BC. In the case of the Galatian tribes this answer to this question is clearly given in ancient sources. Of the 3 tribal groups which broke off from the main Celtic force on the Balkans – the Tolostobogi (-boii), the Trocmi (/Trogmi) and the Volcae Tectosages – the latter are the key to identifying the exact ethnic origin of the Celts who would become the Galatians.
The Volcae Tectosages, one of the Belgae tribes (see Mac Congail 2007), 'were named after the tribe in Celtica' (Strabo xii, 5:1). Of this tribe, Caesar tells us that they had originally been settled north-east of the Rhine, in what is now western and central Germany in the basin of the river Weser, and he mentions that the Volcae Tectosages still remained in western Germany in his day (Caesar BG 6.24):
"And there was formerly a time when the Gauls excelled the Germans in prowess, and waged war on them offensively, and, on account of the great number of their people and the insufficiency of their land, sent colonies over the Rhine."
"Accordingly, the Volcae Tectosages, seized on those parts of Germany which are the most fruitful [and lie] around the Hercynian forest (which, I perceive, was known by report to Eratosthenes and some other Greeks, and which they call Orcynia), and settled there. Which nation to this time retains its position in those settlements, and has a very high character for justice and military merit; now also they continue in the same scarcity, indigence, hardihood, as the Germani."
This similarity between the Celtic Belgae tribes and the Germani in the eyes of classical authors is also crucial to our understanding of another ethnic group who appear in southeastern Europe in the late Iron Age – the Bastarnae (see Bastarnae article). By the 3rd c. BC the Volcae had also expanded into southeastern Gaul where we find them in the province of Gallia Narbonensis occupying the district between the Garumna, Cerbenna Mons and the Rhodanus. They were divided into two groups – the Volcae Arecomici and the Volcae Tectosages (whose territory included that of the Tolosate tribe) in the west separated by the river Arauris or a line between the Arauris and Orbis. The chief town of the Tectosages was Tolosa (Mac Congail op cit: 298; on further topographical links between the Tectosages in Gaul and those in Galatia see also Mac Congail 2004: 171-176).
The other two groups who accompanied the Volcae in the Galatian migration of 277 BC – the Tolistobogi and Trocmi are otherwise unknown and we learn that they 'took their names from their leaders' (Strabo vii, 5:1), indicating that these were mixed tribal groups. Of vital importance is Strabo's testimony (loc cit) that 'all three spoke the same language and differed from each other in no respect'. As the Trocmi and Tolistobogi 'differed in no respect' from the Volcae Tectosages, it logically follows that these were also Belgae. Thus, one may conclude that the tribal groups who migrated into Asia-Minor in 277 BC, and subsequently became the Galatians, originated from the Belgae branch of the Celtic group.

However prolific they may have been (see below) the Galatians could not hold the large territory which they initially occupied (Mac Congail 2008:95-96), and appear to have overextended themselves. They subsequently fought with various success against the Syrian king Antiochus I who gained the title Soter (Saviour – Αντίοχος Α' Σωτήρ) after defeating them at the 'Battle of the Elephants' in 275 BC. Following this defeat, the Galatians settled astride the Halys river and on the Phrygian plain – the poorest and least populated part of the region (Kilburn 1959:165-167; Mac Congail 2008:104).

Pliny the Elder gives us the most detailed account of the geographic dispersion of the Galatian tribes:
'Galatia, which lies above Phrygia and includes the greater part of the territory taken from that province, as also its former capital Gordium. The Gauls who are settled in these parts are called the Tolistobogi, the Voturi and the Ambitouti; those who dwell in Maeonia and Paphlagonia are called the Trocmi. Cappadocia stretches along to the north-west of Galatia, its most fertile parts being possessed by the Tectosages and the Teutobodiaci. These are the nations by which these parts are occupied; and they are divided into people and tetrarchies, 195 in number. Its towns are, among the Tectosages, Ancyra, among the Trocmi, Tavium, and among the Tolistobogi, Pessinius' (Pliny V,42).
There is disagreement in the sources on whether the Celts founded these towns or 'adopted' them from the previous population. Memnon tells us that, 'They each founded cities, the Trogmi at Ancyra, the Tolistobogi at Tabia and the Tectosages at Pessinus' (Memnon 11,7). However, Pausanias testifies that the town of Ancyra had been a Phrygian settlement before the Celts arrived – 'Now this people occupied the country on the far side of the river Sangarius capturing Ancyra, a city of the Phrygians which Midas son of Gordius had founded in former times' (Paus I, 4:5).

Each Galatian tribe was sub-divided into 4 groups, the 12 sub-divisions being sub-tribes similar to the Pagi in Gaul (Hubert II:48). They had an organized and highly developed political and legal system. Each tribe was divided up into 4 administrative portions called tetrarchies, which had its own ruling tetrarch. Each of these units also had its own judge and military commander, both subject to the tetrarch, and also 2 subordinate commanders. A council, consisting of 300 men, met at Drynemeton and passed judgement in murder cases, but the tetrarch and the judges had jurisdiction over all other cases (Strabo vii, 5:1). The mass of the Galatian population lived in villages and they intermarried with the local population (Livy 38:17-18; Strabo 13, 4,3).
Earlier interpretations of Galatian settlements as poor farming villages have changed in recent years. Excavations such as those at Gordium (above) indicate that some houses contained evidence of considerable wealth, including gold coins and stone sculptures. Moreover, some of these people could at least read Greek, the language used to inscribe some of their possessions, and favored items made in Greek style.

One phenomenon which is remarked on in a number of sources is that the Galatians were an exceptionally prolific people (Justin. xxv, 2). An analysis of the statistics would appear to confirm the veracity of these accounts. Although only 20,000 Celts had migrated into Asia-Minor in 277 BC by the beginning of the 2nd c. BC their population had increased radically. This is clearly illustrated by the fact that during the Galatian genocide carried out by the Romans under Gnaeus Manlius Vulso in 189 BC, 40,000 Galatians were massacred on one day at Olympus (Livy 38:23) and another 8,000 a few days later at Ancyra (App. Syr. Vii, 42; on the Vulso campaign see Mac Congail 2008: 114-119).

(After Dandoy et al 2002)
Undoubtedly, considering the longevity of the Galatian state, the Celtic culture not only influenced, but was influenced by, the surrounding cultures – Hellenistic, Phrygian etc. The Galatian Celts adopted the local religious practices in some cases – we are told, for example, that the Celtic princess Camma was a priestess of the Phrygian Artemis (Polyaen. Strat. Viii, 39). In later Galatian coins we see the busts of Hermes, Artemis, Minerva, Jupiter and Hercules, and in addition Cybele, the local Phyrigian deity.

Human Sacrifice?
What is striking is the juxtaposition of Greek and Celtic customs illustrated by new evidence for Galatian religious practices at settlements such as that at Gordium. On the mound at that site, the workshop next to a monumental building produced figurines totally Greek in style; figures of Greek deities such as Nike and Kybele were also found. But near the mound archaeologists also found remains left by very different rituals – chilling evidence of strangulation, decapitation, and bizarre arrangements of human and animal bones, similar to practices well known from Celtic sites in Europe.
At the Gordion site, several of the people whose remains were found in area A died violently, with strangulation the most common cause of death, whether by hanging or garotting. All of these people were presumably "sacrificed", but the exact circumstances have not been determined (Dandov et al 2002).
The uppermost of these two women had suffered blows to the head and a broken neck; large grinding stones had been placed on top of the lower woman
(After Dandoy et al 2002)
Excavation in area B, in the western part of the lower town at Gordium, revealed clusters of human bones from bodies that had been dismembered. The remains, co-mingled with animal bones, were then carefully rearranged, sometimes in symmetrical patterns, on an outside ground surface with shallow depressions. The ceramic material dates it to the 3rd c. BC. Similar placing of animal bones in burials is to be observed at Celtic burials on the Balkans such as those at Kalnovo in eastern Bulgaria, which date to the beginning of the 2nd c. BC.
This skull of a teenager (12-17 years old) was carefully placed alongside the skull, pelvis, and upper leg bone of a dog. Beneath these was the pelvic bone of another person.
(After Dandoy et al 2002)
The largest deposit at Gordion, bone cluster 3 (below), consists of a few human bones, and over 2,100 animal bones and fragments. Three humans are present. A 4-8-year-old child is represented by a lower jaw and some cranial fragments. A fragmentary right pelvic bone came from an adult female aged 35-39, and a pair of pelvic bones represent an adult male aged 40-44. A sacrum (the fused vertebrae forming the back of the pelvis) and several long bones could belong to either adult. The human bones are cracked from weathering and the pelvic bones were gnawed by carnivores-signs that they were exposed on the surface for some time (Dandoy et al 2002).
While many of these human remains have been correctly interpreted as examples of human sacrifice, there is another explanation for some of the rituals to be observed at the Galatian settlement. Evidence of weathering and dismemberment of the dead is consistent with the well documented Celtic religious practice of exposing corpses after death to be devoured by birds of prey and carnivores. The removal of flesh from corpses, which is well documented in the Celtic world, had a mortuary significance that differed greatly from the Greco-Roman practices (Soprena Genzor 1995: 198 ff.). The last 25 years of research have revealed how interments were the culmination of previous very complex rituals. The removal of flesh before interment is clearly attested at Celtic sanctuaries like Ribemont (Brunaux 2004: 103-24), but the enormous deficit of interments, especially in the late La Têne period, can be partially explained by the exposure of corpses with the consequent destruction of most of the skeleton. Such practices are recorded among the Balkan Celts (Churchin 1995) and were particularly common among the Belgae tribes, from whom the Galatians originated (on these Celtic rituals see Soprena Genzor 1995; Brunaux 2004: 118-24).
Bone cluster 3 at Gordion, consists of human bones from 3 individuals, and over 2,100 animal bones and fragments.
Funerary inscription of the Celtic/Galatian aristocrat Bellon, son of Goutoumaros – discovered at Susuz-Böcü Mevkii (ancient Tavium), central Turkey:
Βέλλων Γουτουμάρου / ἥρως χρηστὲ χαῖρε. / Γριμίταλος καὶ Ανδρόμα/χος τὸν ἑα(υ)τῶν πατέρα / ἀρετῆς ἕνεκεν = 'Bellon, son of Goutoumaros, good hero, greetings. Grimitalos and Andromachos (honoured) their father for his virtue"
The inscription dates to the 1st century AD, and comes from an estate which belonged to an aristocratic family of the Celtic Trocmi tribe. The estate specialized in the large scale production of wine, and continued to exist well into Late Antiquity.
"You foolish Galatians! Who has bewitched you ?"
(Galatians 3:1)
A set of three Coptic vellum fragments, written in a two column codex, of the Biblical passage from the Letter of St. Paul to the Galatians (6th-8th Century AD).
In the first century AD the Galatians initially received St. Paul as an angel from heaven (Galatians 4:14). However, the message of Christianity appears not to have been fully understood by the Celts of Asia-Minor. Acts (xiii-xiv) gives indications that, even at this late stage, old traditions were still strong in Galatia – at Lystra they had to be restrained from sacrificing to St. Paul, and shortly afterwards they stoned 'the Angel of God' , and left him for dead …

Sad news today about Sandy Dahl, the widow of 9/11 airline captain Jason Dahl: She died of an accidental overdose of drugs and alcohol.
Sandy Dahl was known for the tremendous energy she put into honoring the memory of her late husband, who was piloting United Flight 93, which crashed in a Pennsylvania farm field.
The tragedy took its toll on Sandy Dahl. She had nightmares and was told she had post-traumatic stress disorder. A Post story on the 10th anniversary of the terrorist attacks called her the "unofficial spokeswoman for the grief and pride of the Flight 93 families."
Sandy Dahl, 52, died in her sleep last May. An autopsy released Friday said she died of heart failure brought on by an accidental drug and alcohol overdose.
May she rest in peace.

The new trailer for next month's new Tomb Raider takes an interesting turn: we've got men and women of various ages and ethnicities all saying that they're Lara Croft.
We at Kotaku knock game companies when they push a game in a less than classy way. Might as well praise them when they do something nice. So, kudos to the Tomb Raider folks at Eidos for doing this bit of good work here.
Instead of asking gamers to protect Lara or lust for Lara, this time they ask us to identify with her. On the one hand, it's standard game-sold-as-power-fantasy. But it's also a case of welcoming a broader array of people in as potential players of Tomb Raider games. Smart business, to boot.
Just one caveat...
You might be Lara Croft. But you never received official training to be Lara Croft. I did (jump ahead to the three-minute mark and revisit one of the more ridiculous things I've ever done in my career):

It's not that I don't agree with the root part of this argument. Just like the Klan demonizes African-Americans based on ignorance, fear, and (in some extreme cases) religion, religious right groups do the same to the lgbt community.
But I think veteran newscaster Tom Brokaw put it best:
Asked how antigay views should be presented, he said, "You just say that they've got strong opinions. You treat like them like anyone else. You cross-examine and ask them the right questions."
That's the thing which as been solely missing from this controversy regarding the religious right and the lgbt community. No one in the lgbt community has issued a clear plan of attack. It has been a morass of words thrown around, such as "bigots" and "haters, and tangents devoted to the issue of gay marriage or sidetracked to the larger issue of condemnation of the Christian religion.
And in the middle of this complicated muddle, religious right groups zero in on one issue, i.e. censorship, and begin to control the debate.
This issue is not about gay marriage per se, nor is it about condemnation of religion. It's about the intentional propagation of falsehoods and junk science in order to smear a group of people.
Therefore demanding that the news media keep people like Tony Perkins or groups like the Family Research Council off television is extremely counterproductive. It gives the inaccurate notion that somehow their ideas are so truthful that the lgbt community is fearful of letting them be heard.
Instead, we need to demand that certain questions be asked. For example:
"Mr Perkins, why did your organization freely and unapologetically cite the work Paul Cameron, a discredited researcher who thinks that gay men stuff gerbils up their rectums?"
"Why do religious right groups continue to cite a 1997 study to claim that gays have a short lifespan when in 2001, the researchers of the study complained that you all were distorting their work? To be more specific, why do religious right group ignore legitimate researchers who complain about how they distort their work?"
"Mr. Perkins, why did your organization remove several anti-gay studies from your web page on the grounds that they used outdated studies? And this being the case, why did you cite those supposed "outdated" studies in works that do appear on your pages?"
Or even better, demand that the news media interview some of us on their shows when they have people like Perkins on. The lgbt community is a bit more intelligent and sophisticated than we were in the past in terms of calling attention to how religious right groups lie. We should be chomping at the bit to confront them on national television and making them spell out in exact terms why their distortions and junk science are accurate.
But instead of relishing the thought of a public feud, we seem to be backtracking from it or trying to sidestep it.
The lgbt community should take note of the recent hell President Obama has been getting from progressives about his need to compromise with the GOP. Just like it seems that President Obama has been reluctant to get into a war with the bullies of the GOP, the lgbt community seems to be reluctant to get into a needed fight with our bullies, i.e. the religious right.
But whereas as Obama tries to compromise with the GOP, the lgbt community seem to view the media as our parents and we run to them crying that they keep the big, bad bullies of the religious right from picking on us.
The media is not the parents of the lgbt community and it's not their job to stop the religious right from picking on us via their lies. It's our job to call them out and not just with words like "bigots," but with demands that they either explain their propagation of lies (such as linking homosexuality to pedophilia or claiming that gays caused the Holocaust) or apologize for them.
But we can't do this adequately without calling them out.
Doesn't anyone think that it's time we started?

As the two prosecutors questioned him, they were struck by his demeanor: He seemed pumped up, as if he were reliving the crime. His body shook, they said, and he rubbed his muscular arms on the chair rests so vigorously his handcuffs scraped off the wood finish. By Sharon Cohen and Rachel D'oro.

Journalists honored at CPJ's annual award ceremony
Egyptian satirist Bassem Youssef was among four journalists who received CPJ's 2013 International Press Freedom Award on November 26. Youssef has used humor to report on and criticize government failures to improve the economy and public services, and its efforts to suppress opinion. In November, Youssef's show was suspended.
"Freedom of expression is not a privilege; it is a universal right," Youssef told the crowd gathered at New York's Waldorf-Astoria hotel. "Now, you don't have to be a journalist or a reporter. You can just be an ordinary citizen with a camera and a YouTube channel. This is how we started. I don't know how this will end. ... But at least this is how we started."
CPJ also awarded Janet Hinostroza, a leading TV reporter in Ecuador, who has continued to work despite threats to her and her family; Nedim Şener, who faces up to 15 years in jail on terrorism charges because of his reporting; and Vietnamese blogger Nguyen Van Hai, who was not present at the ceremony because he is serving a 12-year prison sentence for "conducting propaganda" against the state.
Thanks to Dan Doctoroff, chief executive officer and president of Bloomberg, who chaired the ceremony, the dinner raised a record $1.65 million for CPJ's worldwide press freedom advocacy. Many of the distinguished guests at the event also pledged support during a special appeal at the end of the night. Those funds were matched by the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation, contributing another $200,000.
Norman Pearlstine, executive vice president and chief content officer of Time Inc., presented Paul Steiger, founding editor-in-chief of ProPublica and former managing editor of The Wall Street Journal, with the Burton Benjamin Memorial Award for his lifetime commitment to press freedom.
Global appeal for a jailed journalist
A petition calling for the release of jailed Vietnamese blogger, Nguyen Van Hai has attracted more than 8,000 signatures online. Hundreds of guests at CPJ's International Press Freedom Awards ceremony on November 26 also signed their names to cards calling for Hai's release.
CPJ will submit the petition to the Vietnamese government in early 2014, along with the message that journalists around the world should not be silenced or subject to reprisal. Click here to add your name to the petition.
Hai, a blogger who also goes by "Dieu Cay," was sentenced in 2012 to 12 years in prison and five years of house arrest for "conducting propaganda" against the state. His blog posts touched on politically sensitive issues, including government corruption and protests against China, which disputes Vietnam's claim to nearby maritime territories. He has endured solitary confinement and waged a hunger strike.
CPJ will continue to advocate for Hai's release. We look forward to honoring him with the award in person.
Journalist released on bail in India
On November 12, Lingaram Kodopi, an Indian journalist, was released on bail after almost two years in prison. He faces charges of sedition, waging war against the state, and criminal conspiracy after being accused of being a Maoist associate, according to news reports. Kodopi has consistently denied the allegations and said he has been targeted because of his work exposing police wrongdoing.
"Jailing Lingaram Kodopi for more than two years was a travesty of justice," said CPJ Asia Program Coordinator Bob Dietz. "We welcome the Indian Supreme Court's small but significant step allowing Lingaram Kodopi to be released on bail. CPJ will continue advocating on his behalf."
CPJ makes Sri Lanka trend on Twitter
Ahead of the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting (CHOGM) that was being hosted in Colombo, CPJ launched a Thunderclap campaign to draw attention to Sri Lanka's abysmal press freedom record, which includes the detention of two international journalists in November.
After CPJ's campaign was launched, U.K. Prime Minister David Cameron visited Sri Lankan journalists and also brought up the need for an international investigation into human rights abuses during his meeting with Sri Lankan President Mahinda Rajapaksa. Rajapaksa rejected the calls.
The campaign, which was created by CPJ's Asia program and Speak Justice campaign, also linked to a public letter issued by CPJ that called on CHOGM leaders to urge efficient investigations into journalist murders in the country.
Sri Lanka became a trending topic on Twitter in November, thanks to the campaign. CPJ's Asia program research associate, Sumit Galhotra, said, "CPJ's Thunderclap message was shared by more than 300 supporters with a social media reach of almost 2.5 million, and helped break the silence surrounding Sri Lanka's abysmal press freedom record."
CPJ's Asia program also assembled a Storify to track the Twitter traffic as it unfolded.
CPJ spotlights Ethiopia's press record
The African Media Leaders Forum, which took place in Addis Ababa in the first week of November, encourages economic cooperation among its member states and is billed as Africa's largest gathering of media chiefs and news industry stakeholders. CPJ helped put press freedom on the agenda at the forum.
The forum's speakers exclusively used CPJ data in their criticism of Ethiopia's press freedom record. Prior to the event, CPJ Africa Advocacy Coordinator Mohamed Keita reached out to the forum's participants and speakers and provided them with information on the climate of free expression in Ethiopia. CPJ East Africa Representative Tom Rhodes, who attended the forum, spoke about a number of issues affecting press freedom, including Woubshet Taye's arrest, the detention of Ethio-Midhar journalists right before the event, and the plight in general of exiled Ethiopian journalists.
"CPJ is the biggest thorn in the side of the Ethiopian government," CPJ's Rhodes said after the forum.
One grateful Burundian journalist also publicly thanked CPJ at the forum. During the question-and-answer part of the Media Legal Reform panel on regional anti-press media laws, the owner of a Burundian radio station thanked CPJ--and Rhodes, in particular--for their success in advocating for the release from jail of a radio journalist. The journalist was also present.
CPJ's Keita compiled a Storify that showed much of the social media activity around the event.
After months of advocacy, Liberian editor freed
On November 18, a Liberian court ordered the official release of editor Rodney Sieh, who had been imprisoned in August for failing to pay damages in connection with a libel suit filed against him by a former official. Sieh's paper, FrontPageAfrica, was also shut down, but resumed publication on November 25, Sieh told CPJ.
CPJ repeatedly advocated on Sieh's behalf, voicing concern about his health, which reportedly deteriorated in prison. In early September, CPJ also wrote an open letter to President Sirleaf, calling on her to reform the libel laws in the country. CPJ received a response to its statement about Sieh's health and the open letter to the president. The US ambassador to Liberia also told CPJ that President Sirleaf had mentioned CPJ's letter in talks with the ambassador.
The court ruled in favor of Sieh after the complainant filed a three-count Bill of Information that waived all judgment, money, and claims against Sieh.
Recent events and upcoming reports
Leonard Downie, Jr., Arizona State University journalism professor and former Washington Post executive editor, and author of CPJ's first comprehensive report on the state of the press in the United States, spoke at a November 14 event organized by CPJ and hosted by the New America's Foundation in New York City. The event participants included CPJ Vice Chair Kathleen Carroll, New York Times Chief Washington Correspondent David Sanger, and Steve Coll, the dean of Columbia's Journalism School. Click here for a podcast of the event.
CPJ will be releasing its annual reports on journalists killed and journalists imprisoned around the world. The reports will be out in December.
In January 2014, CPJ will release a report about the press freedom climate in Russia in the run-up to the 2014 Sochi Winter Olympics.
CPJ's Distress Fund provides emergency grants to journalists facing persecution for their work. Support our work and make an end-of-year gift today.

Death of the Mac: The smoking gun
Some people are still convinced that OS X being jailed by default is not a sign of evil intent on Apple's part. So here's some more commentary around the topic.
"If Apple really wanted to restrict all app distribution to the app store, why did they come up with this Gatekeeper system?"
Because right now, there are a lot of applications that can't be placed on the App Store because of Apple's rules, as well as the technical restrictions such as sandboxing. There are even more applications whose authors are not interested in the App Store. I think the App Store has failed to get the critical mass Apple hoped for.
The 'third way' approach of "Well, you can get a key and sign your code but not actually have to use the App Store" is a way to entice everyone to sign their code with Apple-approved keys. Once all the major developers go along with that, the "Turn off Gatekeeper" option can be removed from OS X without 99% of users ever noticing.
At that point, Apple has complete control. They can set the terms for what software is allowed on the Mac, and yank apps even if they aren't from the App Store. If they don't want DVD rippers or emulators available, they just revoke the appropriate developer signing keys. And they can rent you developer access to your own hardware, like they do with the iPad and iPhone.
"You're paranoid. Apple would never do that."
If you don't think Apple would ever do all these things, I have to ask: Why wouldn't they? It would give them complete control over the platform, and the iPhone and iPad have apparently demonstrated that there would be no impact on sales from doing so. Even big names like Adobe and Microsoft have gone along with the iPad's restrictions.
Compulsory signing would also eliminate the ability to run cracked pirated versions of applications. Developers would love that—and so would Apple, since they could start demanding a 30% cut.
You can see more of this cat-herding going on if you look at the new features in Lion and Mountain Lion. iCloud is only available to applications in the Mac App Store. The new notification center is the same. There's really no technical reason for such restrictions; it's just Apple using new functionality as a carrot to get everyone onto the App Store where they can be controlled.
"It's just being done for the sake of security."
You could just about make the argument that iSync needed to be limited for security reasons, but there's no such excuse for apparent limitations on notification center access. To me, this is the smoking gun that shows Apple's intent.
If Apple were really concerned with security, they'd be updating the out-of-date GPL software that ships with OS X to current versions that have had the security holes patched. But instead, they are purging all the GPL v3 licensed software.
The two big features of GPL v3 are disallowing use of patent lawsuits to prevent people using the code you distribute, and preventing locking down hardware so you can't run modified code. The idea that Apple wants to be able to sue people who run GCC or the bash shell is possible, but it seems unlikely to me. Similarly, wanting to share code between iOS and OS X doesn't really explain why they won't distribute things like the bash shell and GCC which only exist in OS X. So that leaves locking down OS X as the most plausible motivation.
If Gatekeeper is all about security and not about control, why don't Apple offer the same options as Gatekeeper on the iPad and/or iPhone? If Apple do that, I'll admit I'm being paranoid and shut up about this. (And buy an iPad.) Since I submitted a request for a developer option to turn off the jail when the iPhone was launched, I'm not holding my breath.
On the contrary, unless Apple reverses their current course and opens up the new OS X functionality to all applications and not just jailed ones they get a 30% cut from, my current Mac will be my last.

SeriesFest: Season 2 set for June 23-25
SeriesFest, billed as an annual episodic content festival in partnership with the Denver Film Society, will return to Denver on June 23-25.
For SeriesFest: Season 2, a two-day digital storytelling "hackathon" is planned to inspire "the next great interactive series."
Last year's inaugural event saw some 30 pilots featured over a four-day event in Denver. Organizers said the goal was "to bring industry executives and producers together with content creators to create a new marketplace for television."
This year SeriesFest is partnering with media/tech company Interlude to launch the 48-Hour Interactive Series Jam ("Series Jam"). Interlude is involved with all sorts of interactive and digital media (it's the company Nancy Tellum joined as executive chairman after many years at CBS).
The Series Jam will work this way, per the release:
Small teams of 3-5 filmmakers, game designers, developers, producers and writers may submit an application to enter the competition. SeriesFest and Interlude will choose up to 6 teams with these selected teams meeting on Thursday, June 23, 2016 in downtown Denver to begin the hackathon.
The teams will work closely with Interlude's creative leadership to conceptualize an interactive three-part series and will learn how to get the most out of the responsiveness of the video, where to use it to optimize the emotional power and how to make a story compelling. Over the course of 48 hours, the teams will write, shoot, edit, and build their projects in Treehouse, Interlude's intuitive and powerful authoring software, to develop a working proof-of-concept ("POC"). An experienced team of professionals will be there to guide participants along the way, and all production and post-production gear will be provided.
At the end of the Series Jam, the teams will present their projects in front of an audience accompanied by an outline of a three-episode arc. One winning team will be awarded $10,000 in production funds to create the series, which will premiere on Interlude's platform Eko, a new home for interactive, serialized content.
The deadline for submissions is May 13. Series Jam is presented in partnership with the University of Colorado Denver College of Arts & Media.

Over a number of years, eBuildingSupplies has become the UK's leading e-commerce site for building supplies with a uniquely deep product database and a network of fulfillment partners. The business is now migrating from a simple e-commerce site to a 'platform' to widen it's service offering, supplier base and appeal to a wider end user customer base.
The site is currently used mainly by retail customers who are doing DIY projects and home improvements as well as garden and landscaping works. The site is also used by builders and contractors who seek more specialist building materials. The site would like to ring fence and protect the existing user base whilst appealing more to the trade customers such as builders. The products sold on the website tend to be 'heavy' items like bricks, plasterboard, timber, bags of sand, lengths of timber etc. We don't focus much on tools.
Initially built on a shoestring budget, the business' success now demands a more professional corporate identity to engender greater levels of trust with internet users that the site is indeed a legitimate and trustworthy supplier. The design and use of colours should if possible make it clear that the service is a safe a trustworthy one that saves them money by sourcing building materials from trustworthy suppliers at the keenest of prices. The design will need to work extremely well used within a webpage and website, but also in email marketing campaigns and email correspondence, supplier partner portals and documentation as well as other business items such as business cards, invoices etc.
*** Please use the strap line 'Connecting Buyers and Sellers of Building Materials' ***
This may also help in thinking about a symbol/logo.
We have had some thoughts that a tick sign and/or a combination with a £ sign might get across the 'price comparison' message well. And the 'e' of eBuildingSupplies isn't of core importance. BUT we don't want to tie the hands or minds of designers so feel free to override these thoughts if you have good ideas. We're coming to you because you do design better than us and have better creative minds!

We couldn't be more excited about the return of Downton Abbey! And what better way to prepare for the new series than to get to know the star of the show a little better? No, not Lady Mary, but the spectacular Abbey itself. Or rather, its real-life alter ego – Highclere Castle. Here are a few fascinating facts about this magnificent stately home that was used for filming Downton:
1. Ever wished you could live at Downton? Well you can if you're the eighth Earl of Carnarvon George Herbert and his wife Countess Fiona Carnarvon. The beautiful Victorian building and the surrounding estate (which is about four times the size of New York's Central Park) have been home to the Carnarvon family since 1679. Highclere was always destined to become Downton – as a friend of the Carnarvon family, Julian Fellowes had the castle in mind as he wrote the series.
2. Remember Downton Abbey becoming a home for wounded soldiers in series two? The scriptwriters didn't have to look far for inspiration for that storyline – it happened at Highclere. During the First World War, the fifth Countess of Carnarvon transformed the castle into a military hospital for soldiers arriving from Flanders. A bedroom and dressing room were used as an operating theatre and recovery room, and the Countess headed up the nursing staff herself.
3. The fascinating history of the Carnarvon family doesn't stop there. The fifth Earl of Carnarvon cultivated an extraordinary Egyptian antiquities collection, and in 1922, along with archaeologist Howard Carter, discovered the tomb of Tutankhamun. Rumours of a 'mummy's curse' surround the Earl's death: when he died, the lights in Cairo went out and his favourite dog, Susie, howled and died. Today you can see some of the Earl's collection at the Egyptian Exhibition Room in the cellars of the Castle.
4. Many of the props shown in Downton have a story at Highclere. The bells in the kitchen of Downton Abbey are replicas of the kitchen bells at Highclere – each of which has a distinctive pitch so the servants know which room is calling without having to look. And Lord Grantham's mahogany desk in the living room actually belonged to Napoleon!
5. Downton wasn't the castle's first brush with fame. Highclere was also a location for Stanley Kubrick's 1999 thriller Eyes Wide Shut starring Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman, as well as the 1987 film adaptation of The Secret Garden.

So Rebecca Traister has an interesting post up over at Broadsheet about the recent bloggy kerfuffle over the NYT's coverage of BlogHer. There's lots to talk about there, but I want to highlight one point that I don't see discussed very often (although I might actually have mentioned it here before — I think that was in comments, not a post, but if I'm repeating myself, fuck it):
A blog about personal experience and illness certainly needn't be named with an eye to political urgency, but what about starting from a place of self-regard and personal authority and naming it after yourself, like Kos, or Drudge, or one of the women who does get taken seriously online, Arianna Huffington? Think about how much easier it would be to get the respect that some of the BlogHer women crave if they started taking themselves more seriously.
I think it's a bit of a leap to equate not naming your blog after yourself with not taking yourself seriously, especially when one of the primary reasons why so many women bloggers don't name their blogs after themselves is because there are very real risks that go along with that. Even if your name is an open secret, there's a difference between that and naming the blog after yourself. People refer to me as Kate Harding whenever they mention me, but they refer to The Rotund as The Rotund, for instance, even though she doesn't hide her real identity. And Heather Armstrong has "I'm Heather B. Armstrong. This is my website" right at the top of the page, but how often do you hear other bloggers refer to her as anything but Dooce? Naming the blog after yourself, as opposed to merely blogging under your real name (or not hiding it) does make a real difference in terms of your online visibility — which can be a blessing and a curse.
That said, I did name this blog Kate Harding's Shapely Prose — and decided to keep that name* even after the co-bloggers came along — for pretty much the reasons Traister is getting at. As much as I'd like to pretend I started blogging strictly out of the goodness of my heart, the fact is, I was not only a budding fat acceptance activist but a writer looking to establish a readership and brand myself. I could have called myself "Lucysol" (after the dogs), which was my online handle in the very few places I hung out online before I blogged, but that wasn't the name I wanted people to remember if, ahem, I ever got a book contract or something. And honestly, what pushed me over the edge — apart from the fact that I was already using kateharding.net — was seeing blogs with men's names show up on WordPress's top blogs list every damned day. I don't even know what any of those blogs were about, but I know those names were burned into my brain just from checking that list periodically. And I thought, hey, why the hell isn't my name burned into people's heads? (A little over a year later, Kate Harding's Shapely Prose currently appears at number 18 on that list. Ahem again.)
Having said all that, I still struggle with feeling like keeping my name up there is too egotistical — conduct unbecoming a lady blogger! — especially when I'm not the only (or best) writer here. The fact that my co-bloggers don't use their real names makes that somewhat less problematic, as it's not like I'm inhibiting Filllyjonk's or Sweet Machine's efforts to brand themselves. And I did start this shit from scratch and blog all by my lonesome for some time, so I can justify it. But I can't help feeling that if I were a guy, I wouldn't even be thinking about justifying it. I wouldn't be worrying that having my name up top might affect the community spirit or make FJ and SM feel unappreciated, or whatever the fuck. I'd just be thinking, "Yep, that's my blog."
Of course, any number of male-owned blogs, including some Traister mentions, aren't named after their founders. But the fact remains, I can easily name a dozen eponymous male-owned blogs off the top of my head, and pretty much no female-owned ones other than this here blog and the HuffPo. (Help me out in comments, 'cause I'm sure I do know of other lady blogs named after the ladies, but I'm drawing a blank.) You almost never see Jane Doe's X or Mary Smith's Y, no matter how internet-famous Jane and Mary may be. And that's exactly why I ultimately went with Kate Harding's Shapely Prose, even though it felt a little oogy — because it fucking pissed me off that it did feel oogy. Why should it? It's my goddamned blog.
I mean, of course it's also Fillyjonk's Shapely Prose and Sweet Machine's Shapely Prose and — in a different and arguably even more important way — Shapelings' Shapely Prose. But I think (hope, anyway) all of that is quite clear even with my name at the top. Meanwhile, in less than eighteen months, I actually have achieved the goals I set for myself when I started this — a significant readership and paid writing opportunities that flowed from blogging. On one level, that still surprises the shit out of me. There was a whole lot of luck, good timing, and indeed privilege involved. But on another level, I do think it's partly attributable to the fact that I took myself seriously and believed I was producing something valuable even when I had about 12 readers, 11 of whom I knew personally — and naming the blog after myself was a big symbol of that for me.
Of course, I'm nowhere near as internet-famous as a Heather Armstrong or an Allison Blass — the blogger whose title set Traister off on that train of thought — and I couldn't live off of blogging or my checks from the book and Broadsheet. I feel like this has been a hugely successful project because I've exceeded my own wildest expectations — which weren't actually all that wild — but by real-world standards, I'm still pretty much a starving no-name. So, you know, take all this with an entire salt lick.
But I'm still fascinated by the question of why so few women bloggers have eponymous blogs. What do you think about that, Shapelings?
*You might have noticed that the last couple of headers haven't said "Kate Harding's…" but that's because I was putting my name elsewhere and felt stupid doing it twice. If you look up at the top of your browser, you'll see KH's SP remains the official blog title.

Engineering Design Spine
At the heart of the core curriculum is a series of eight design courses, one each semester, that is referred to as the Design Spine. The Design Spine courses are the major vehicle for developing a set of competencies to meet educational goals in areas such as creative thinking, problem solving, teamwork, economics of engineering, project management, communication skills, ethics, and environmental awareness. In most cases, they are also linked to the engineering science courses taken concurrently each semester. This is done so that experiments and design projects provide a tangible context for the engineering science lecture materials and thus are an aid to learning.
The first five core design courses are taken by all students and are taught by adjunct engineers who bring the benefit of their industry-based design experience into the classroom. The last three courses are taken within their discipline - a junior course followed by a 2-semester capstone senior project.
The Importance of Systems Thinking & Total Design
The design sequence also introduces concepts associated with systems thinking from the start of the design sequence. Systems thinking recognizes that engineers are called upon to practice in a global socio-economic environment increasingly dominated by engineering systems and the design of engineering systems.
Engineering curricula, with their focus on the disciplinary contributions to design, tend to encourage a mindset in which students seek technical solutions often rooted in a specific engineering discipline with little regard for the context in which their product, system, or service may be deployed, the societal or business need it may fulfill, or even its relations to all the other engineering, business or "environmental" domains that can contribute to success.
To address the issues of "partial design," the comprehensive design approach known as Total Design, is being implemented. Total Design is the systematic activity necessary from the identification of system stakeholders through to a successful product/process/service to meet those stakeholder requirements. In fact, Total Design encompasses approaches, methods and tools of system design and systems engineering. The major aim of systems engineering is to develop an operational model of the system for all phases of the life cycle; the model is then used as a basis for detail design.

You need to be fluent.
You don't need a french law degree. You can practice US Law in Paris. You will have to work for a large, international firm to do so.
All true, but many firms are pulling their US lawyers out of their French and Italian offices. In this environment, there's just not enough work for them there to support a full-time presence.

The Fuller Brush salesman is a legend in the outside sales community. The Fuller Brush man was the original traveling salesman. He went door-to-door, cold calling from city to city, state to state across the country. Movies have been made about him, from The Fuller Brush Man to Planes, Trains, and Automobiles. He is a part of pop culture, and the ideal that salespeople strive to be.
While the Fuller Brush man-model has changed over the years, the role of the "traveling" or outside salesperson still exists. Whether a local person or across states or countries, the role of the salesperson has changed over the decades but there are some business essentials that every outside salesperson needs.

1 pound of homemade Pappardelle (recipe below)
1 pound of beef chuck roast
1 - 14 oz can of crushed tomatoes
1 - 14 oz can of whole peeled tomatoes
6 cloves of garlic, minced
1 cup of red wine
1 teaspoon of sea salt
1 teaspoon of sugar
2 tablespoons of fresh basil
parmesan cheese for serving
For the sauce, place the chuck roast in a dutch oven (I like to use a Staub) or covered oven and stove safe dish. Pour in the can of crushed tomatoes, hand-squeeze-crush the whole tomatoes onto the beef (I like the rustic texture of hand-squeezed), and add garlic, wine, salt & sugar. Put it in oven at 250 degrees for 5-8 hours. The beef is done when it pulls apart easily and is fork tender.
Remove from the oven and let it slightly cool. Remove the roast from the pot (keep the tomato and wine sauce in the pot for later!) and remove all of the large chunks of fat remaining and separate it from the beef. Discard the fat. Shred the beef back into the tomato and wine sauce.
Place the pot on the stove and simmer the sauce until the desired thickness is desired. If the sauce is too thick, you can add beef broth, crushed tomatoes or water to thin. Keep it covered and on low until you are ready to serve.
Cook the fresh pasta in a large pot of salted, boiling water for just 1-2 minutes... the pasta will float when it is ready. Remove it from the water with tongs and place it immediately into the beef ragu. Toss to coat and add parmesan cheese and fresh basil just before serving.
Homemade pasta :
|The pasta dough before boiling.
1 1/2 cups of flour
2 eggs
Start with a KitchenAid mixer fitted with the dough hook. Dump in the flour, then top with the eggs. Put the mixer on medium and let the ingredients roll together until they form a ball.
*You may need to add a little bit (1-3 tablespoons?) of water or flour if the dough is too wet or too dry. After a ball is formed, let the dough 'knead' on low-medium in the mixer for 5-7 minutes until the dough is elastic. Cover it with plastic wrap and let it sit for 20 minutes.
When it is finished kneading, turn the dough out onto a floured board and kneed it by hand a couple of times.
this pasta machine that was very inexpensive. If you plan to make a lot of pasta in the future it can make things a little easier.
By Hand : Roll the dough, flipping it, folding it and rolling it until it is about 1/8 of an inch thick. Cut it into 1" pieces with a knife, or a pizza wheel. After cutting, you can cook it immediately, or let it dry on a baking sheet sprinkled with flour too keep the dough from sticking.
With Pasta Machine : Separate the dough into 6 pieces. Flour the machine and dough well to keep it from sticking. Feed it through the rolling/flattening part of the machine starting on the largest setting and progressing to a smaller setting each time you feed the dough through. I find that flouring it each time helps to keep it from sticking. After it has gone through the smallest (or 2nd to the smallest) setting, lay it flat and cut it into 1" strips with a knife, or a pizza wheel. After cutting, you can cook it immediately, or let it dry on a baking sheet sprinkled with flour too keep the dough from sticking.

Almost 500 people teemed through the La Plata County Fairgrounds, with hundreds of students some beaming, others ashen-faced, all nervous vainly struggling to find a seat as organizers began announcing the winners of this years San Juan Basin Regional Science Fair.
More than 90 adults volunteered to judge projects entered by middle school and high school students from La Plata, Montezuma, Archuleta, Dolores, Hinsdale and San Juan counties.
The students nerves were understandable, as the science fair a unique combination of substance and showmanship was akin to the scholastic Oscars, said Lynn Schneider, the events organizer.
For kids in rural America, Jeff Hatsfeld, the fairs master of ceremonies, said the science fair represented a rare opportunity.
Whats at stake isnt just money and scholarships, he said, but the chance to compete at the state level, and for one young scientist, a place at the International Science Fair.
Ultimately, out of 232 projects, 19 were nominated to represent the region at state.
Mancos High School junior Easton LaChapelle won a place to compete at the International Science Fair regardless of the results at state, with Pagosa Middle Schools Tate Hinger, Bayfield Middle Schools Lenka Doskoeil, and Grace Preparatory Academys Keelin Savage going as observers.
Throughout the fair, Easton, who with five victories is the Meryl Streep of the San Juan Basin Regional Science Fair was mobbed by youngsters who recognized him and the bionic arm he designed from his recent appearance on Nickelodeon.
Participants largely eschewed the usual science fair tropes victimizing fruit flies and pondering the true nature of tomatoes for more immediate questions, and as usual, engineering projects overshadow subtler contributions of chemists and biologists.
Garret Cobb, a seventh-grader at St. Columba School, constructed a $120 hovercraft, which he estimates could carry both him and his father, though not, probably, over water. Its not that good quality, he said. Garret wants to be a mechanical engineer, and he most admires Leonardo da Vinci because, he tried to build a flying machine, and he got so close, then the Wright brothers came along, said Garret, shaking his head.
Mancos sixth-graders Shania Pribble and Taeylor Samora of Cortez designed an adaptive snowboard after Taeylors older brother was paralyzed in a car accident just three months ago.
He was in ICU for two months, Taeylor said.
They added reflectors to the board because in tests, they found the seat unstable and discovered snow would pour into it. Taeylor said she decided to team up with Shania because when the crash happened I was always pretty upset, and my parents were gone. Shania was always with me.
Meanwhile, Keelin Savage, a freshman at Grace Preparatory Academy, pored over ancient Chinese and Native American arrow designs. She tested eight models for accuracy. A fan of The Hunger Games and an accomplished archer in her own right, Keelin found the best arrow design comprised a carbon-fiber shaft with feather fletchings that twist, to eliminate wobbling, and a broadhead arrow tip. Keelin seemed a little wistful as she explained she was unable to bring in the arrow tips, because theyre made of razors.
Some of the more intriguing questions were asked by chemists and biologists.
Rachael Moore, a junior at Grace Preparatory, said she became interested in the effects of color on memory because she, like many of her classmates, is dyslexic. In tests, she found people were better able to remember words printed on red paper than on white paper, but said, I honestly dont think there have been enough studies to completely warrant a change from white paper to red.
The most popular test subjects proved to be participants family members, who, judging by the presentations, sacrificed much for science, with many kitchens, backyards and adult bodies surrendered to research.
Ignacio seventh-grader Gabriana Creason, who found multi-tasking improved the rate at which people both performed tasks and made mistakes, said she tested her aunt, sister, mother and father. Gabriana said only her sister had grumbled at the imposition.
She said it was boring, said Gabriana, who wants to be an emergency physician.
Grace Preparatory ninth-grader Dillon Flowers found human hair a more effective deer-repellent than mothballs or deer scram, which he apparently stashed around his yard for two months.
Alex Knight, a Bayfield eighth-grader, tested how saturation levels affect color and quality of photos after placing second in the 4-H photography competition last year.
Im looking to come in first this year. I found that saturation improves skin tone, so its good for TV commercials, and makes eyes appear darker. But decreasing it makes food more appetizing, he said.
Josephine Mynatt, a sixth-grader a St. Columba, measured how teeth fared after soaking them in different beverages for seven days. Whereas the tooth submerged in water escaped more or less intact, the tooth that had been in Red Bull emerged black, yellow and misshapen, like a partially popped corn kernel, and the tooth in 5-Hour Energy came out like a cauliflower with every ridged riddled with moist black rot.
My mom doesnt let me drink those, Josephine said.
Some of the more ambitious questions were felled by the paradoxes inherent to science. For instance, in his experiment, The Universe: Is that all there is? Wyeth Rossie, who was attempting to test the existence of matter beyond the known universe using lasers and fish, was forced to admit he could not because of limited equipment.
At the fairs end, some students who left empty-handed comforted each other as they lined up for the bus home. Even without awards, the event proved that they, too, were stardust.

What do you think? What do women think about men who shave - or don't? Do they know what men dream about? Do men know what women dream about? In this fun (we hope) and free-wheeling game, there are no wrong answers, but there can be some very strange or interesting ones. Based on themes printed on cards, players write their top 5 answers to the theme chosen and compare their results. When comparing answers, players who most often match their opponents will score more points! The special analysis mechanism makes for a very challenging, yet fun game. Naturally, the player who collects the most victory points wins, but all win when they share their unexpected and off-beat answers to these funny, interesting, and sometimes, important themes! It will be especially interesting to note the differences in answers from the men and the women!
