Overall we have mixed feelings about the Silverstone Sugo SG09. It's very compact for a Micro-ATX case which is sure to impress those looking to build a compact gaming system with dual graphics cards. However, for those who only require a single graphics card, a mini-ITX system would suffice. We've seen a couple of impressive mini-ITX motherboards pass through our labs in the past months like the ASRock Z77E-ITX which offer a similar level of overclocking performance as full size ATX motherboards.
The aesthetics and build quality of the Silverstone Sugo SG09 are a little uninspiring, especially when we compare it to the Fortress FT03. Sure, the FT03 is about £20 more expensive but we feel the difference in design and quality more than justifies this amount. That said, the SG09 has been very cleverly designed internally so that you don't have to compromise on hardware. There is room for full height CPU coolers, ATX power supplies and long graphics cards.
The Silverstone Sugo SG09 can be yours for a little over £90 from Scan which we think is a little pricey considering what you get. We would like to see it falling to around £75 before we would say it was a high value purchase.
Those looking for a plain case which offers good value for money should also consider the Cooler Master Elite 120 Advanced. At £35 from Ebuyer, it's very cheap indeed and could be used to build a powerful system if you select the hardware carefully.
- Good cooling.
- Clever internal design.
- Very compact.
- Dull design.
- Fairly loud.
- Steel Construction.
- Pricey.
KitGuru says: Another interesting case from Silverstone which can pack a series of performance components into a very small space.

ssh RSA key
For the last few nights i've been attempting to get RSA authentication for the user root up and running. My goal is to be able to log in as a regular user using a password but require RSA authentication (which i want to save on a floppy and use Putty to log in) for root access. I'm running the OpenSSH_3.6.1p2 server off a Mandrake 9.1 machine on my network. I thought it would be a simple task to accomplish, was I ever wrong...
my 'ssh -v -l root -i id_rsa 192.168.0.104' output looks like this:

Notice the three attempted authentications?
Then it asks for a password (which is disabled for root)
I've heard there was a problem with MD5, the authentication used for passphrases on an ssh-key. So i installed the libsasl2-plug-crammd5-2.1.12-1mdk , but to my dismay did not fix my problem
ANY HELP/LINKS/EXPERIENCE will be greatly appreciated... GREATLY
well it'd appear that you've created an rsa with a passphrase in it. if you don't want one you'll need to recreate the rsa key, and just press enter when prompted, instead of typing in a passphrase.
...besides that you sneaked in this little phrase: "for root access", and I tell you you must NOT do that. "Best practices" advice is to treate and use a regular user account to log in to the system and then use sudo to su to root.
Thank you for you replies.
thank you for noticing the passphrase thing, but yes that was my initial intention, i much rather set it up to be valid ONLY with a passphrase, my concern is more as to how i can add support to the openssh library (OpenSSH_3.6.1p2) to support passphrase authentication through my Putty clilent (on a floppy).
Unspawn: thank you for the security advisory any clues on how to set RSA authentication for a regular user?
preciate any help...

A new book on Indian indentured laborers reveals that 2007 Diwali Celebrations in
The Times South Africa reports
Ashwin Desai and Goolam Vahed uncovered interesting information during research for their new book, "Inside Indenture."
Desai said their research led them to an important movement called the Hindu Young Men's Association, which was formed in 1907 and organized the first communal Diwali celebrations in a hall.
"It shows that although Indians arrived in
in 1860, it took almost 50 years for them to win the right to celebrate Diwali in 1907," said Desai. Durban
The festival was officially recognized by municipal officials only in 1907, when Hindus were given permission to celebrate the occasion.
"Being the 100th year of celebrations, we need to recognise and pay homage to those indentured labourers and many other Hindus who sacrificed a great deal to convince the white colonial authorities that Hinduism was a religion and that they had a right to cele- brate Diwali," said Desai.
What would have Diwali meant to thousands of families living under oppressive conditions in a far off country? Did they lose track of time? They might not have known the exact date but the families would have surely discussed about Diwali and looking at the moon they would have surely told stories about Diwali to their children.
Fifty years after their arrival in
Diwali might have given hope to thousands of indentured families, who lived under oppressive conditions. For many an opportunity to go back to the roots of their faith, and for some an opportunity to do something that you've already done in your homeland but was not permitted in the new home.

... is now open for me. while talking to a friend about career direction-lessness.. i just realized how wide the world really is.
i think i have to explain a bit why i'm finishing school this week.
here, school generally starts in june and ends in march. we have our semestral break during the whole of october, christmas break the regular time (last 2 weeks of december and 1st week of january) and summer starts end of march. since the school has to prepare for graduation and whatnot, graduating students usually start their finals really early (the undergrads will end their schoolyear mar 23) and our graduation is on mar 30.
so anyway back to my slightly mundane thoughts..
i just realized how my life isnt sectioned anymore into portions anymore by my parents. since there's no more school. there's no more 7 years of grade school, 4 years of high school and 5 years of college. now whatever i decide will carry over to the nothingness of my whole life and i cant just section it anymore and wait for a whole new graduation.
the world has opened up itself to me and i'm too overwhelmed to take a step forward.
now i know what people mean when they tell me how people in school have it so much easier!

Hi David,
Thank you for all the wonderful tips and explanations on 7x7 about navigating parking in San Francisco - I just found your site, and have found it very helpful! I was wondering if you know whether the 100-foot rule also applies for temporary special use/constructions signs. I asked a parking officer about this once, and she said that the no tow-away only applied for the parking spot where the sign was posted. There's been so much construction happening in my neighborhood over the last couple of months, I've been very diligent about reading the signs carefully. Unfortunately, my car was towed on Friday because I was in a construction zone. While there was a sign in front of the spot behind me, there was no sign in the spot where I parked. I'm hoping to contest this, but was just curious about the rule for temporary special use/construction "no parking" signs.
Thanks so much,
Dear A.,
Thanks for your kind words and excellent question. I'm sorry to hear that you got towed, and that you wasted half a day retrieving your car. It can be truly traumatizing to find your car missing, and absolutely exhausting to figure out where it is and exactly how to get it back.
The bad news is that the first DPT officer gave you imprecise info. The good news is that the DPT officer that gave you a ticket may also have been wrong. The law states that all construction signs, "Shall be posted every 20 linear feet of occupied space with at least one sign at each end of the occupied space". So, if you were in the zone of the two ends of the zone, then the ticket was legitimate. But, if you were outside of the zone, then the ticket was given to you erroneously and you should definitely contest it. And yes, $450+ is an outrageous sum of money to have to pay. Towing vehicles has become a significant part of the City's budget. AutoReturn tows about 100,000 cars per year for SF, and the City receives $186.50 administrative fee per tow, or about 18$ million per year.
If the construction is going to go on for a long period of time where you park, it may be worth the investment to introduce yourself and buy the construction guys a pizza and a six-pack, and then get some future inside info when they are not going to be working certain days or hours. They are the ones who called DPT to have you towed. DPT does not enforce construction site tows on their own, as they have no idea whose car or truck is a worker's and whose isn't.
I think that your situation is worth contesting as you were given the wrong information by a parking officer. If you can remember the day, time, and location that you asked, you may be able to identify the parking officer as they typically have regular routes for several months at a time.
It's difficult enough to find a legal parking spot, but when you are given incorrect info by an official, and are then charged $500 for following their advice....well...there's something very wrong about that. And it's not an uncommon experience. That's exactly why I wrote Finding the Sweet Spot, why I love to write for 7x7, made the Where is my Car Flowchart,
and why I had a parking app built (coming soon)...so everyone can have absolutely all of the information easily available/useable and to make towing scenarios like this one, and parking tickets and parking frustration in general a thing of the past.

Cold lessons: Boiler fails, E. Oregon school open
HERMISTON, Ore. (AP) The boiler that supplied heat for a wing of a Hermiston elementary school has bit the dust, so students are studying with a little more clothing in rooms warmed by electric space heaters.
"We keep our jackets and gloves on," Rocky Heights third-grader Peyton Herman, 8, told the East Oregonian.
Teacher Jessica Campbell said students at first wore extra layers of clothing as a precaution, but most haven't found it necessary. The rooms each have two heaters and are checked three times a day to make sure temperatures are comfortable, she said.
That doesn't mean students are necessarily happy.
"I'm not really close to the heater, so I don't like that," said fifth-grader Nicholas Keeney, 11.
A crack in the boiler began to spread as temperatures dipped into the teens.
"We started losing it around Jan. 1, and we limped it along for another week or so," said Mike Kay, Hermiston school district's director of support services.
The failure affected a wing holding 12 classrooms.
A $60,000 replacement to the nearly 50-year-old boiler will take another three to four weeks to arrive.
Even though the wait may be inconvenient, Kay said, the school district decided to spend time looking for the most efficient model and keep the classrooms open.
"It is better than the alternative, which would have been no school," Campbell said. "We really couldn't have afforded that."

I think Alex by itself is a lovely name.
Alexandra is also fine if you want to make the clear distinction that this is a girl as the short version may confuse some when they see the name on paper (I just prefer Alexandria... It's just more feminine and my style, but to each there own)
Katharina is also a lovely middle name... If you want to go more modern and honor your grandmum Katalina is a nice way to do so.
I'm just giving suggestions but honestly I think Alexandra Katharina is a lovely name and I would go with the longer version as most people will call her Alex anyway.

I think Alex would be all right as a nickname for Alexandra or Alexandria, but I'm not sure I like it on its own. Alex feels so masculine to me.
Lots of people really like Alex for a girl, though, so I think it would be safe. Alex Katharina sounds better than Alexandra Katharina. If you decide to use Alexandra, I would consider using Katharine as the middle. It would still honor your grandmother, and Alexandra Katharine sounds much better.

Costas Azariadis looks at the most recent "vital signs" of the Greek economy and argues that austerity measures without investment or market reform will not succeed in balancing the government budget. He finds that private economic activity has already dropped by 20% since 2008, and concludes that austerity by itself has brought the country to the brink of a Great Depression similar to the one that gripped Britain in the 1920's and 1930's.
The full article of C. Azariadis
Austerity without Growth
At the end of World War I victorious Britain took a momentous decision– return to the gold standard at the prewar exchange rate between paper money and gold, despite having printed a lot of paper money to pay for the war. To achieve this wrongheaded aim, the UK cut government spending–including investment and defense–to the bone and plunged the economy into a period of austerity that sapped British society to the marrow, and lasted until World War II. George Orwell's The Road to Wigan Pier gives a vivid account of social conditions in the 1930's.
As the unemployment rate climbed above 22% in the early 1930's and days lost to strikes peaked at 6 times their post WWII maximum, Britain surrendered its status as one of the richest nations on earth and the greatest of the great powers. In 1931 the British Empire became a Commonwealth and the Gold Standard was dropped. On a much smaller scale than Imperial Britain, Greece faces today a similar dilemma. Is it sensible, or even possible, to stay in the Eurozone at the original exchange rate of 341 drachmas to the euro? How deep must Greek society cut spending to remain in "core" Europe? Is austerity pushing Greece into a depression as it did Britain ninety years ago?
The answers depend a lot on the future state of the EU and world economies, and even more on Greece's willingness to implement reforms that will get its economy growing again, as suggested repeatedly by many members of this blog in earlier posts. To diagnose where Greece is headed we'll have to take its "vital signs" from Eurostat and ELSTAT (the EU and Greek statistical authorities) with an assist from the National Bank of Greece Economic Bulletin.
Where Is The Greek Economy Now?
Greece's vital signs are not those of a healthy or even a mildly sick society. The production sector of the economy has taken a back seat to accounting and finance in the public opinion brouhaha that obsesses about rating-agency downgrades, panicky lenders, bailout packages and default rumors. Amid the comings and goings of grim-faced experts, ordinary people are having experiences that bring to mind John Steinbeck's The Grapes of Wrath. This time the victims and the heroes are shopkeepers in Athens instead of farmers in Oklahoma.
To spare you the gory details, I'll sum up the situation in a few numbers. Four hundred thousand jobs have been lost since 2008, virtually all of them in the private sector; the unemployment rate has shot up from 6.5% in 2007 to 18.3% in August 2011. Gross domestic product will have fallen 13.8% from its peak by the end of this year. The private economy—consumption, investment plus net exports–has dropped nearly 20%; sixty thousand small businesses have closed, with another sixty thousand expected to go by the end of 2012.
Irish statistics look almost as grim as Greek ones, but the Irish economy seems to have bottomed out. Greece has not. As the Greek economy continues to plummet, the odds become longer that the government can balance its books and avoid an uncontrollable default. Ignoring interest payments on national debt, Greece was close to a primary budget balance in 2010 but not in 2011 (the deficit is slated to rise from 0.3% of GDP to 1.7%). Next year looks worse still. As of now the government could not pay its bills even if creditors forgave all public debt because tax hikes are rapidly shrinking taxable income. No politician wants to think about selling or leasing– to developers, hotelkeepers and other investors–even a small fraction of the government's vast holdings of public land.
Without the spark of economic growth, it looks like sheer belt tightening is defeating itself. Austerity without investment did not work for Britain in the 1920'; chances are that it will not work for Greece in the 2010's.
The Next Couple of Years
Both Eurostat and the National Bank of Greece predict that the economic freefall will taper off in 2012. They forecast a 3% drop in GDP, and the economy back to growth in 2013. Are they right? Last year's predictions for 2011 were also for a 3% drop; it will likely be double that.
The reason analysts are hard put to forecast the course of the Greek economy is that it all depends on two volatile factors: the health of the country's trading partners, in the eurozone and elsewhere, and the progress of internal economic reform. Greece is too small to influence Europe and very reluctant to reform itself.
Wages and salaries have been cut 10% or more, but deeper reforms are hitting a brick wall. Labor unions are dead set against them and public opinion is not sure reforms are needed. As a result, government commitments to sell public-sector firms, improve tax collection, liberalize markets, open closed professions, foster competition, and remove hurdles to investment have foundered on the shoals of daily strikes and petty acts of urban terrorism. Parliament legislates reforms, the street vetoes them, and the economy goes into a freefall.
Growth or Bust?
Why is Greece refusing to reform itself against all economic advice from the international organizations like the IMF, the EU, the ECB, sensible politicians, and experts of all stripes? Every pundit is for reform, and yet reform is not in the air. One reason could be a utopian strain in Greek society, much like the Occupy Wall Street movement in America but bigger. Recent polls show left-wing parties are getting roughly a 25% vote share. Part of that comes from people who yearn for a more egalitarian society in which government guarantees equal opportunity for all, fair prices and wages, and a job for anyone ready to work.
A bigger reason may be cynicism from a jaded electorate that refuses to believe things will be put right by the same spendthrift politicians and profligate labor leaders who spread corruption like algae and ruined the economy. As an aside, the latest sampling from Transparency International makes Greece the undisputed corruption champion of the eurozone, on a par with some really shady countries.
What will it take to get the economy moving? My colleague Yannis Ioannides calls the shock that's needed an expectations jolt: combining a war on corruption with a flood of public works to persuade public opinion that times are indeed "a-changing" as Bob Dylan so eloquently claimed in the 1960's. Will that happen? And, if it does, will it work? Stay tuned to this blog.

Elisha Marshall Pease
Jan. 3, 1812
Hartford County
Connecticut, USA
Aug. 26, 1883
Lampasas County
Texas, USA
5th & 13th Governor of Texas. Born in Enfield, Connecticut, he studied at Westfield Academy in Massachusetts. He held several minor positions in Connecticut, including that of clerk in the post office in Hartford. In 1834 he starting looking for new opportunities and traveled west. He arrived in Texas in early 1835, settling in Mina. He studied law and became quite involved with the developing Texas Revolution. He hoped for conciliation with Mexico even while becoming secretary of a committee of safety in Mina; however, he changed his position and participated in the first battle of the revolution at Gonzales. He became secretary to the General Council of the Provisional Government and attended the convention at Washington-on-the-Brazos in March of 1836. During this convention, he helped write part of the Constitution of the Republic of Texas. He became chief clerk of the navy and treasury departments, successively, of the ad interim government. He also served as clerk of the judiciary committee of the House of Representatives. He was one of the major contributors in writing the new nation's criminal code. In the fall of 1836, he turned down the position of postmaster general in order to return to his study of law. Passing the bar in April 1837, Pease became the republic's first comptroller of public accounts. He then took up the practice of law at Brazoria and soon became successful and respected in his profession. After annexation, he represented Brazoria County in the first three legislatures and authored the Probate Code of 1846. In 1851 he made an unsuccessful run for the governorship. Two years later he won the office and was reelected in 1855. Among his achievements was to persuade the legislature to establish a system of public education and a state university. His administration did establish the permanent school fund and his vision laid the groundwork for future achievement. He also worked to encourage railroad construction in Texas, to put the state penitentiary on a self-supporting basis, and to establish reservations to civilize and educate the state's Indian population. In addition, he supervised the building campaign that led to the completion of the Governor's Mansion, the General Land Office building, the State Orphan's Home (now the Corsicana State Home), and a new Capital building. Perhaps his most significant accomplishment was the settlement of the public debt of the state, by which he made available funds for the establishment of a hospital for the mentally ill and schools for the deaf and blind ,all of which he had recommended to the legislature. Upon his retirement from office in 1857, the state was in excellent financial condition. In 1859 Pease aligned himself with the Unionist faction in Texas politics. He remained active in this movement into the early months of the Civil War, during which he was quietly loyal to the Union. In 1866 he lost a bid to become governor again in the first election of the Reconstruction era. Early in 1867 he helped organize the Republican party in Texas. Later that year, the incumbent Governor was removed for office and Pease was appointed in his place. His efforts to reorganize the state government and bring accountability to its actions were met by conflict within the Republican ranks and bitterness toward the chief executive by the former Confederate majority in the state. He resigned from the governorship in 1869 because of differences over Reconstruction policies that he considered radical and despotic. During the remainder of his life, he remained interested in political affairs of the state, and was president of the non-partisan Tax-payers' Convention of 1871. In 1872, he was chairman of the Texas delegation to the national Liberal Republican convention. In 1879 President Rutherford B. Hayes appointed Pease to the collector of customs at Galveston. In the closing years of his life Pease practiced law in Austin, engaged in various business ventures, and lived a quiet life with his family. He died from an attack of apoplexy and was buried in Austin.

Although organic farming in its present form didn't start until sometime in the last century, it has been around for as long as there was farming going around, which means that it has more or less been around since the beginnings of man's evolution. It is only of very late that what we term as "conventional" methods of farming have dominated the scene.
It therefore seems strange that something which hasn't been around long enough to even be termed the blink of an eye in evolutionary terms, can be called conventional, while the more established farming methods are thought of as new-found and controversial by many people.
The truth as ever, is stranger than fiction and this is what we're left with to quibble about in this section.
Since we have already gone through what the conventional farming methods entail, it is now the time to define what can be meant by organic farming.
To be very simple, I believe that the most concise method of saying this, is to say that organic farming is the exact antithesis of conventional farming.
As mentioned earlier in the book, organic farming shuns the usage of such things as chemical and synthetic fertilizers and pesticides; it stays away from genetically modified plant stocks; and most of all, it promotes the usage of a natural system of farming that is non-harmful to the environment.
Many proponents of the conventional farming system scoff at organic farming for the simple reason that it goes against everything that we have been raised and educated to believe.
Not only that, one of the main arguments against organic farming is that the production of foods is not enough to meet the growing worldwide demand for foods.

San Diego city leaders who want to eliminate pensions for most new city employees are trying to get a measure on next year's municipal ballot. Such measures require thousands of voters to sign a petition saying they want to vote on the matter. But a labor-backed group is fighting the effort with a radio ad that links signing the petition to the possibility of identity theft.

I love how deep this one feels when we fuck. Especially when he cums inside me, the sensations are just incredible. But this can be kind of painful if he is really big.
A variation on Deep Stick, but easier as the giver kneels by the side of the bed or couch thereby lining up more easily with the receiver. To get into the Deep Impact position, the receiver lies on their back with their legs resting on the shoulders of their partner, who enters from a kneeling position. This position also holds true to its name, meaning the giver can penetrate with everything they've got, unless of course they are too big. Any height difference (and discomfort for the giver) can be easily remedied using pillows.
Me and my bo tried this once and wow! He had me crying. It was too much!
We tried this once, i though he was going to kill me. I guess it's Ok if your man is not too big. Or your a thick to large girl. I'm not a big girl, and he's got a size 8 that kinda thick. It was great at first, my legs were hanging off the bed and he was standing taking his time. But when he put my legs on his shoulders and kinda leaned forward, Wow! He kept it slow hands on my butt and try to guide me to grind when IT was fully in. I was so glad whe he let me get on top lol
and i liked it. He moves deep in me and he can play with
my boobs the same time. And i can see in his eyes.
Very nice..love deep..feels so good
I DEFINITELY wanna try this with my bf when we meet. my legs wont be on his shoulders. ill wait till he gets into me and close my legs around his waist and clamp down on his c**k. i want him to see stars ;D
OMG!!! I can't wait until I'm married so I can do this. It looks like sooo much fun and like it will really induce orgasms.
My boyfriends bed would be too high for this! :( but i suppose it works the same if he stands? :)
If he is standing he can rub his cock up and down your lips until u get real wet and hot and he gets real hard! Its way better if he can stand and grab your ass and move you up and down on his cock.
Try the couch... or an automan... Works great everytime for me. My waterbed obviously doesn't work. :(
This is best done with her at the corner of the bed and the man standing up with a leg either side of the beds corner. - who has a bed this low down anyway...or are these two both 10 feet tall!
This is a very good sex position.
My boyfriend eats me out in this position, then slides it all the way in.
Just the words "deep impact" gets me hard :)
Another great position to fuck as deep as you want, and it's easy to cum wherever you feel like it
I use this position all the time with the ladies, it really gives DEEP penetration. I like to stop occasionally and lick her pussy then continue, talk about major orgasms! Hehehe
my bf and i did this the other night. but the diffrence was as he pumnmlded me he played with my tit's. it fely sooo good
my bf and i did this at his house....his sister just left and we had the house to ourself so we went to his room and i wanted to try this so since his bed is high up he was able to stand and i took such a pounding that it tired me out and we'd kiss and then he'd pull me bak and smile and say "im not done yet" we went at it for an hr...and he had a goal to make me scream....he got so turned on hearing me scream he had a huge smile on his face....this position is amazing
grr sound's great. sometine's it's so fucken hard to have the house to yourself
I'm not a big fan of deep penetration, but just watching the animation made me wet...I want to try this position, but my bf is really big (no kidding); how do we do it such a way that he doesn't impale me?
you would be surprised what you can fit in there!
You're not a fan of deep penetration LadyLu??!! I couldn't feel more differently, want it as deep as possible and cant wait to try this position with new bf asap
did this with my boy for my birthday! talk about some really good orgasms and just really good all around! This gets SO deep and allows you both to really get close!
id like to try this with my bf. but his cock might be a bit to big. hehe
tee hee i think my boyfriend's cock is too big to do this one :) unless i'm horny beyond belief, having my legs up makes him hits my cervix or somethin, idk it just hurts ha :)
definitely a fave of mine. my girl likes to have me push her legs back a little further. once we get going really heavy in this position, i like to put my left knee on the bed, keep my right knee on the floor and come in at an angle. i wait until shes about to get off before i do it though because it makes me cum REALLY fast!

SACRAMENTO — Continuing to honor the preservation legacy of John Muir, the naturalist whose advocacy was instrumental in the creation of the National Park System, Gov. Jerry Brown commemorated today as John Muir Day.
Muir has been accorded many honors in addition to the annual recognition of John Muir Day, originally established by the state Legislature in 1988 on the 150th anniversary of his birth.
His likeness appeared on the state quarter issued by the U.S. Mint in 2004; the California Historical Society in 1976 named Muir as "The Greatest Californian;" and across the state, numerous trails, parks, roads, schools and other places have been named after him.
Muir, a co-founder of the Sierra Club, moved to Martinez when he married Louisa Strentzel in 1880. His home was declared a national historic site in 1964.

LONDON — Prime Minister David Cameron offered an extraordinary apology on Tuesday for the 1972 killings of 14 unarmed demonstrators by British soldiers in Northern Ireland, saying that a long-awaited judicial inquiry had left no doubt that the "Bloody Sunday" shootings were "both unjustified and unjustifiable."
"What happened should never, ever have happened," Mr. Cameron said in a House of Commons statement. "The families of those who died should not have had to live with the pain and hurt of that day, and a lifetime of loss. Some members of our armed forces acted wrongly. The government is ultimately responsible for the conduct of the armed forces. And for that, on behalf of the government — and indeed our country — I am deeply sorry."
While the inquiry seemed to settle the issue of responsibility for the killings, the government in London will still have to tackle the difficult question of whether any of the soldiers involved, or their commanders, should be exposed to the possibility of criminal prosecution, or be granted an indemnity, as the opposition Labour Party's acting leader, Harriet Harman, urged in the Commons in her response to Mr. Cameron's remarks.
The publication of the 5,000-page report plunged Mr. Cameron, in office barely a month, into the heart of Northern Ireland's still volatile sectarian politics. Like previous prime ministers going back decades, Mr. Cameron had to tread a wary path for fear of reigniting tensions among Catholics and Protestants in Northern Ireland, who have endured nearly 40 years of bitter dispute over events in the city of Londonderry on Jan. 30, 1972.Continue reading the main story
On that Sunday, in events that were to generate an extensive archive of feature films, documentaries, investigative books, popular songs and poetry that helped build worldwide sympathy for Northern Ireland's Catholics, a crowd of about 10,000 gathered to protest the practice of detention without trial, used frequently by the British authorities to curb those suspected of paramilitary extremism.
The outburst of violence that followed effectively ended a nonviolent campaign for civil rights and led to three decades of sectarian strife that claimed more than 3,600 lives. Within weeks of the shootings, another Conservative prime minister, Edward Heath, suspended the Parliament in Belfast and imposed direct British rule, which lasted until the 1998 Good Friday peace pact ushered in the new era of power-sharing in Belfast.
The previous British government of Prime Minister Gordon Brown had delayed publication of the report until after the May 6 general election, fearing that the findings might stir political passions during the campaign and undermine the power-sharing government established in Belfast under the Good Friday agreement. One of the co-leaders of that government, Martin McGuinness, was present at the site of the 1972 killings as an Irish Republican Army commander.
Mr. Cameron praised the overall performance of the 250,000 British troops who served in Northern Ireland during the 30 years of violence. He called their mission there "the longest continuous military operation in British military history," and noted that about 1,000 soldiers and policemen had been killed.
But he chose not to equivocate on the central issue of whether the troops of Britain's crack Parachute Regiment had any justification for opening fire with high-powered combat rifles on the Londonderry demonstrators.
In effect, the prime minister endorsed almost every contention that the victims' families had made over the decades: that the British commander should not have ordered the troops to open fire; that the army fired the first shots; that no warning was given before the army fusillade began; that "none of the casualties" were carrying a firearm; and that some soldiers had "knowingly put forward false accounts" of their actions.
In addition, Mr. Cameron quoted approvingly from sections in which the high-ranking judge who led the inquiry, Lord Saville, 74, concluded that although there was "some firing" by republican paramilitaries mixed in with the protesters, "none of this firing provided any justification for the shooting of civilian casualties," and that none of the soldiers fired "in response to attack or threatened attacks by nail or petrol bombers," as the soldiers and their lawyers had maintained.
Rather, the soldiers reacted to perceived threats from the protesters by "losing their self-control," "forgetting or ignoring their instructions and training" and with a "serious and widespread loss of fire discipline," the report said. The document described one of the victims as having been shot while "crawling away" from the soldiers, with another, "in all probability," taking fire "while he was lying mortally wounded on the ground."
Mr. Cameron, calling sections of the report "shocking," said: "You do not defend the British Army by defending the indefensible. We do not honor all those who have served with distinction in keeping the peace and upholding the rule of law in Northern Ireland by hiding from the truth."
On the role of Mr. McGuinness, a point of particular political sensitivity, the inquiry concluded that although he was present and probably armed with a "submachine gun," he did not "engage in any activity that provided any of the soldiers with any justification for opening fire." Allegations to the contrary have fed years of vilification of Mr. McGuinness by Protestant politicians.
The shootings have been angrily contested since the day they happened, and especially after a report completed within weeks by a top British judge, Lord Widgery, saying they had been provoked by demonstrators using nail bombs and other weapons.
The Saville inquiry was commissioned in 1998 by Tony Blair, then prime minister, as part of the negotiations that brought about the Good Friday pact, and broke records for the 12 years it took to complete, the nearly 1,400 witnesses who gave evidence and the cost: $280 million. More than half of the money — government funds — went to the lawyers involved, two of whom earned nearly $6 million each.
In Londonderry, thousands of people gathered at the shooting site and cheered as Mr. Cameron's speech was broadcast live on giant screens. Repeated bursts of applause heralded sections of the report he read that declared that all of those killed were innocents, and copies of the Widgery report were shredded in front of the crowd by relatives of victims.
One after another, relatives emphasized the youth of many of those killed — 7 of the 14 were teenagers — and their innocence of any wrongdoing. They used words like "murdered" and "assassinated."
"Thirty-eight years, four months, 15 days, almost to the minute — Kevin is innocent," said the sister of one of the victims, Kevin McElhinney.
Mr. McGuinness, who joined the crowd, denied that he was carrying a gun at the time of the shootings and said that the allegation originated with "British agents or with people who were very close to British agents."
He added, "I think that the key message out of this was the courage and heroism of the families who were prepared to stand for justice for their loved ones and for the citizens of this city, who for almost 40 years had been waiting for those who had been shot on that day to be vindicated."
Relatives of the victims left little doubt in their statements to the crowd that they would press for murder trials, or at least for prosecutions under an "unlawful killing" provision in British law — a step certain to provoke an angry reaction among the province's Protestant politicians.
Mr. Cameron said it was an issue for the independent prosecution service and made no mention of any government move to grant the soldiers indemnity. "These judgments are not matters for a tribunal — or for us as politicians — to decide," he said.
An earlier version of this article misquoted a portion of Prime Minister David Cameron's statement. Mr. Cameron said, "Some members of our armed forces acted wrongly." He did not say they "reacted wrongly."

World Premiere of RABBITSKIN - Tour Dates Announced!
Milan Govedarica and Tullaroan Productions announce the national tour dates for the world première of Rabbitskin, which opens at Bradford Theatre in the Mill on Monday January 29 and closes at the Lowry Manchester on Friday March 1. The production is a new piece of writing by Dominic Grace. Rabbitskin was originally commissioned by West Yorkshire Playhouse and developed as part of WYP/Theatre in the Mill new writing season in 2012.
"Cal says everyone's story's the same. Get born, grow up, get a job, get wed, have kids, work, get sick, get better, get sick, get better, get sick, die. I think he's wrong."
Joe can name his 20 favourite authors straight off the top of his head and quote his favourite books perfectly. He's a master storyteller like his father, a man who can make the ghosts and monsters of Irish legends seem as real as the rabbits he skins and cuts up on the kitchen table. Stripped right back to the performer in a simple bare space, the piece draws you into the character of Joe and his stories. Joe's charm and confidence mask a deeper vulnerability and eventually reveals the reasons Joe finds his own story so difficult to tell.
This hard-hitting monologue takes contemporary issues such as mental health, violence, 'problem families' and makes them real and personal through the character of Joe, an intelligent, articulate, troubled teenage boy.
Luke Adamson plays Joe. His theatre credits include Brian Looks Like Alan Rickman (Black Coffee Theatre); All My Sons by Arthur Miller, Brassed Off and Enjoy by Alan Bennett (York
Theatre Royal); The Cherry Orchard, Macbeth and A Midsummer Night's Dream, Road and the UK Premiere of Sandholm by Anna Bro (ALRA). TV credits include Raven (BBC); Heartbeat and The Royal Today (ITV); The Garden (BBC/Tiger Aspect).
Chris Hill directs. His theatre credits include Narcissus & Echo chamber opera by Anja Djordjevic (The Lowry, Theatre in the Mill and King's Head); Crash Pad (West Yorkshire Playhouse); Me, As A Penguin by Tom Wells (Lowry, West Yorkshire Playhouse and Arcola); Osterley (Urban Scrawl Radio Project); DUST (West Yorkshire Playhouse), Kidnapping Agatha (West Yorkshire Playhouse); Roald Dahl's The Witches, One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest, Sweeney Todd and West Side Story (Edinburgh Festival). As Associate Director: The Wiz (Birmingham REP, West Yorkshire Playhouse), Secret Garden by Gary Lyons (Birmingham REP). As Assistant Director: A Midsummer Night's Dream (Headlong), Swanhunter (Opera North and tour), Il Signor Bruschino and La Scala di Seta (BYO), Bedroom Farce, Othello, Peter Pan and Don't You Leave Me Here (West Yorkshire Playhouse).
Written by Dominic Grace, whose work includes Goodnight Mrs Thatcher (Northern Bullits), It's A Lovely Day Tomorrow (West Yorkshire Playhouse), Play Up, Play Up (I Love West Leeds Festival), Riot, Rebellion & Bloody Insurrection (Red Ladder) and Love Me Contender.

A Motel 6 on Alvarado Road was robbed at gunpoint Monday night, La Mesa police said.
The hotel clerk said a man entered the motel office about 6:40 p.m. and inquired about a room. He pulled out a handgun, pointed it at the clerk and demanded money from a register. The manager, who was in a room nearby, called police.
The robber ran west on Alvarado Road with an undetermined amount of money. No one was injured.
He was described as black, 30 to 35 years old, 6 feet tall with an average build, unshaven, with short hair. He was wearing a green Boston Celtics jersey with the number 34, a black hooded sweatshirt underneath, black pants, a hat with a brim and black sunglasses. He had a Band-Aid near his left eye.

There is no record of what the second return value was meant to indicate, and apparently no clients for it. @item @tindex @cl{generic-function} @tindex @cl{standard-generic-function} @tindex @sbmop{funcallable-standard-object} @tindex @cl{standard-object} @tindex @cl{function} The direct superclasses of @code{sb-mop:funcallable-standard-object} are @code{(function standard-object)}, not @code{(standard-object function)}. This is to ensure that the @code{standard-object} class is the last of the standardized classes before @code{t} appearing in the class precedence list of @code{generic-function} and @code{standard-generic-function}, as required by section 126.96.36.199 of the ANSI specification. @item @findex @cl{ensure-generic-function} @findex @sbmop{generic-function-declarations} the arguments @code{:declare} and @code{:declarations} to @code{ensure-generic-function} are both accepted, with the leftmost argument defining the declarations to be stored and returned by @code{generic-function-declarations}. Where AMOP specifies @code{:declarations} as the keyword argument to @code{ensure-generic-function}, the Common Lisp standard specifies @code{:declare}. Portable code should use @code{:declare}. @item @findex @sbmop{validate-superclass} @findex @sbmop{finalize-inheritance} @tindex @cl{standard-class} @tindex @sbmop{funcallable-standard-class} @tindex @cl{function} @findex @sbmop{class-prototype} although SBCL obeys the requirement in AMOP that @code{validate-superclass} should treat @code{standard-class} and @code{funcallable-standard-class} as compatible metaclasses, we impose an additional requirement at class finalization time: a class of metaclass @code{funcallable-standard-class} must have @code{function} in its superclasses, and a class of metaclass @code{standard-class} must not. @findex @cl{typep} @findex @cl{class-of} @findex @cl{subtypep} After a class has been finalized, it is associated with a class prototype which is accessible by a standard mop function @code{sb-mop:class-prototype}. The user can then ask whether this object is a @code{function} or not in several different ways: whether it is a function according to @code{typep}; whether its @code{class-of} is @code{subtypep} @code{function}, or whether @code{function} appears in the superclasses of the class. The additional consistency requirement comes from the desire to make all of these answers the same. The following class definitions are bad, and will lead to errors either immediately or if an instance is created: @lisp (defclass bad-object (funcallable-standard-object) () (:metaclass standard-class)) @end lisp @lisp (defclass bad-funcallable-object (standard-object) () (:metaclass funcallable-standard-class)) @end lisp The following definition is acceptable: @lisp (defclass mixin () ((slot :initarg slot))) (defclass funcallable-object (funcallable-standard-object mixin) () (:metaclass funcallable-standard-class)) @end lisp and leads to a class whose instances are funcallable and have one slot. @tindex @sbmop{funcallable-standard-object} Note that this requirement also applies to the class @code{sb-mop:funcallable-standard-object}, which has metaclass @code{sb-mop:funcallable-standard-class} rather than @code{standard-class} as AMOP specifies. @item the requirement that ``No portable class @math{C_p} may inherit, by virtue of being a direct or indirect subclass of a specified class, any slot for which the name is a symbol accessible in the @code{common-lisp-user} package or exported by any package defined in the ANSI Common Lisp standard.'' is interpreted to mean that the standardized classes themselves should not have slots named by external symbols of public packages. The rationale behind the restriction is likely to be similar to the ANSI Common Lisp restriction on defining functions, variables and types named by symbols in the Common Lisp package: preventing two independent pieces of software from colliding with each other. @item @findex @sbmop{slot-value-using-class} @findex @setf{@sbmop{slot-value-using-class}} @findex @sbmop{slot-boundp-using-class} specializations of the @code{new-value} argument to @code{(setf sb-mop:slot-value-using-class)} are not allowed: all user-defined methods must have a specializer of the class @code{t}. This prohibition is motivated by a separation of layers: the @code{slot-value-using-class} family of functions is intended for use in implementing different and new slot allocation strategies, rather than in performing application-level dispatching. Additionally, with this requirement, there is a one-to-one mapping between metaclass, class and slot-definition-class tuples and effective methods of @code{(setf slot-value-using-class)}, which permits optimization of @code{(setf slot-value-using-class)}'s discriminating function in the same manner as for @code{slot-value-using-class} and @code{slot-boundp-using-class}. Note that application code may specialize on the @code{new-value} argument of slot accessors. @item @findex @cl{defclass} @findex @sbmop{ensure-class} @findex @sbmop{ensure-class-using-class} @findex @cl{find-class} @findex @cl{class-name} the class named by the @code{name} argument to @code{ensure-class}, if any, is only redefined if it is the proper name of that class; otherwise, a new class is created. This is consistent with the description of @code{ensure-class} in AMOP as the functional version of @code{defclass}, which has this behaviour; however, it is not consistent with the weaker requirement in AMOP, which states that any class found by @code{find-class}, no matter what its @code{class-name}, is redefined. @end itemize @subsection Metaobject Protocol Extensions In addition, SBCL supports extensions to the Metaobject protocol from AMOP; at present, they are: @itemize @item @findex @cl{defmethod} @findex @cl{find-class} @findex @sbmop{intern-eql-specializer} @findex @sbpcl{make-method-specializers-form} @findex @sbmop{make-method-lambda} compile-time support for generating specializer metaobjects from specializer names in @code{defmethod} forms is provided by the @code{make-method-specializers-form} function, which returns a form which, when evaluated in the lexical environment of the @code{defmethod}, returns a list of specializer metaobjects. This operator suffers from similar restrictions to those affecting @code{make-method-lambda}, namely that the generic function must be defined when the @code{defmethod} form is expanded, so that the correct method of @code{make-method-specializers-form} is invoked. The system-provided method on @code{make-method-specializers-form} generates a call to @code{find-class} for each symbol specializer name, and a call to @code{intern-eql-specializer} for each @code{(eql @var{x})} specializer name. @item @findex @cl{find-method} @findex @sbpcl{parse-specializer-using-class} @findex @sbpcl{unparse-specializer-using-class} run-time support for converting between specializer names and specializer metaobjects, mostly for the purposes of @code{find-method}, is provided by @code{parse-specializer-using-class} and @code{unparse-specializer-using-class}, which dispatch on their first argument, the generic function associated with a method with the given specializer. The system-provided methods on those methods convert between classes and proper names and between lists of the form @code{(eql @var{x})} and interned eql specializer objects. @item @vindex @sbpcl{+slot-unbound+} @findex @sbmop{standard-instance-access} @findex @sbmop{funcallable-standard-instance-access} distinguising unbound instance allocated slots from bound ones when using @code{standard-instance-access} and @code{funcallable-standard-instance-access} is possible by comparison to the constant @code{+slot-unbound+}. @end itemize @node Support For Unix @comment node-name, next, previous, up @section Support For Unix @menu * Command-line arguments:: * Querying the process environment:: * Running external programs:: @end menu @node Command-line arguments @subsection Command-line arguments @vindex @sbext{@earmuffs{posix-argv}} The UNIX command line can be read from the variable @code{sb-ext:*posix-argv*}. @node Querying the process environment @subsection Querying the process environment The UNIX environment can be queried with the @code{sb-ext:posix-getenv} function. @include fun-sb-ext-posix-getenv.texinfo @node Running external programs @subsection Running external programs External programs can be run with @code{sb-ext:run-program}. @footnote{In SBCL versions prior to 1.0.13, @code{sb-ext:run-program} searched for executables in a manner somewhat incompatible with other languages.

These are somewhat stale code, and their interface might need to be cleaned up. If you have urgent need of them, look at the code in @file{src/code/gc.lisp} and bring it up on the developers' mailing list. SBCL has various hooks inherited from CMUCL, like @code{sb-ext:float-denormalized-p}, to allow a program to take advantage of IEEE floating point arithmetic properties which aren't conveniently or efficiently expressible using the ANSI standard. These look good, and their interface looks good, but IEEE support is slightly broken due to a stupid decision to remove some support for infinities (because it wasn't in the ANSI spec and it didn't occur to me that it was in the IEEE spec). If you need this stuff, take a look at the code and bring it up on the developers' mailing list. @node Efficiency Hacks @comment node-name, next, previous, up @section Efficiency Hacks The @code{sb-ext:purify} function causes SBCL first to collect all garbage, then to mark all uncollected objects as permanent, never again attempting to collect them as garbage. This can cause a large increase in efficiency when using a primitive garbage collector, or a more moderate increase in efficiency when using a more sophisticated garbage collector which is well suited to the program's memory usage pattern. It also allows permanent code to be frozen at fixed addresses, a precondition for using copy-on-write to share code between multiple Lisp processes. This is less important with modern generational garbage collectors, but not all SBCL platforms use such a garbage collector. @include fun-sb-ext-purify.texinfo The @code{sb-ext:truly-the} special form declares the type of the result of the operations, producing its argument; the declaration is not checked. In short: don't use it. @include special-operator-sb-ext-truly-the.texinfo The @code{sb-ext:freeze-type} declaration declares that a type will never change, which can make type testing (@code{typep}, etc.) more efficient for structure types.

THE ACTIVITIES of illegal miners, popularly referred to as galamseyers, on the concessions of Anglo Gold Ashanti (AGA) Obuasi mine are increasingly becoming dangerous as they (galamseyers) have now resulted to the use of guns in their operations.
Reports reaching the paper indicate that two persons had suffered gun shot wounds from these illegal miners with the latest victim being Corporal Stephen Adu-Gyamfi of the company's Asset Protection Department (APD).
Confirming the report, the deputy Asset Protection Manager of AGA, Obuasi Mine, Yaw Nuamah Kutin said Corporal Djan was shot on the left buttock at the Cut three concession of the mine, on March 27, this year, around 8:30 pm while on duty.
He explained that four shots were allegedly fired by the unknown galamseyers and added that empty cartridges were retrieved later at the crime scene. At the time of filing this report, medical officers were yet to remove the bullets from his buttock.
He recalled how one Michael Nyamekye of Fraizer Company, a sub contracting firm of the company was also shot in the neck at his duty post at the Pompora Water Works on March 7, this year. The deputy Asset Protection Manager added that Nyamekye was currently receiving treatment at the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital (KATH) in Kumasi.
Mr. Kutin said the company's Asset Protection Department patrol team again retrieved a Revolver loaded with seven rounds of ammunition from an illegal miner at 23 level GCS on February 25, this year, and added that the gun has since been shown to the Obuasi police.
He alleged that two factions of galamseyers recently engaged in a fierce gun battle over ownership of an illegal pit. It would be recalled that as a result of the way galamseyers were attacking the company, its workers and installations putting the future of the mine at risk, a stakeholders' meeting was called to find alternative solutions to the problem.
The meeting, which was attended by Chiefs, opinion leaders, assembly members and journalists, security personnel and management of AGA identified five key areas of concern, which would be addressed.
The five areas are connivance of AGA security, employment, community policing, support to local police and abandoned mining areas to the galamseyers.

Two people were transported to a hospital Thursday morning after carbon monoxide spread through a Shippensburg home.
Firefighters also removed two dogs from the home in the 200 block of East Orange Street.
An ambulance was sent to the home at around 9:20 a.m. for a report of a person who was having trouble breathing. While the EMTs were treating the patient, they noticed a strong smell of gas and called for the fire department.
Deputy Fire Chief Jamie White said a high level of carbon monoxide was detected in the home. He said the family was using a generator in the basement because their electricity service had been shut off.
The two adult residents were transported to Chambersburg Hospital.
The dogs were taken to a friend's home.

Schaub has significant foot injury; Leinart to start at Jax
Posted on November 14, 2011 at 3:41 pm by John McClain in General
Share 380 share E-mail .
The status of Texans quarterback Matt Schaub is uncertain for the rest of the season. (AP Photo/Brian Blanco)All the good news over the Texans 7-3 start turned bad today when they found out quarterback Matt Schaub has suffered a significant foot injury, according to coach Gary Kubiak.
Kubiak said Schaub will wear a boot on his ankle and then travel around the country next week seeing specialists in Indianapolis and Charlotte to determine whether he can play again this season.
Kubiak said Matt Leinart will start at Jacksonville when the Texans return from their open date.
Schaub was injured on a quarterback sneak in the second quarter during Sundays 37-9 victory at Tampa Bay.
He suffered what was believed to be a sprained ankle and played the rest of the game. He was barely limping in the dressing room after the game.
Schaub hasnt missed a start since the 2008 season. He started every game the last two years and through eight games this season

Fedup F19 -> F20 fails with SCSI tape drives
I did this with no problems on one server which had no SCSI devices, and thus lulled into a false sense of security went ahead on the main one :-( It has 2 SCSI tape drives. The fedup command brought in all the necessary files and added the upgrade option to the grub menu. When it starts I see what begins to look like a successful update and then:
SCSI target 0:0:6 wide transfers fail
Failed to initialize Selinux context: No such file or directory
SCSI target 0:0:12 wide transfers fail
Target 0:0:12 Domain validation detected failure, dropping back
The last message is repeated 12 more times then nothing happens. After 10 mins I rebooted and the upgrade menu option is still there, but I have to choose the newest F19 entry to get the system up. This process is repeated each time, i.e. the update grub menu stays there.
What gives with these new SCSI device errors? They never gave a moments problem under F19. Am I reading this right and that is the issue, or is it just a warning and it's something else all together?
No fix yet:
|All times are GMT -5. The time now is 12:39 PM.

The reputable studio made sure the make it clear that DOTA 2 will be a "free to play" but not "pay to win" game. In other words, all heroes and abilities will be available to all players for free while in-store items will be purely cosmetic.
Just like with Team Fortress 2, DOTA 2 creative fans will be able sell their creations through the game's store and split the profits with Valve.
