From Openmoko
Contents |
lint-wifi is a relatively simplistic application written in PyGTK for the Neo FreeRunner. It aims to create a GUI-based method for associating with wireless networks, and provide various bits of connection-related information and control.
Lint-wifi was created by Jeffrey Malone in Jul 2008, but since then it seems to be abandoned. Because of this, a new project was started: lint-wifi2. The program now runs on the OpenMoko 2008.12, it fixes some issues, adds some functionalities and provides an .opk package for an easy install.
If Jeffrey will regain interest in the project, surely we can merge lint-wifi and lint-wifi2 and mantain a single project.
Lint-wifi has a project page. You can download the source tarball or the OpenMoko package from the Files page, or browse the source tree from the Subversion page.
You are encouraged to install the program and report any issue via the Tracker page.
lint-wifi requires /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf to be present. This works for me (tm)
update_config=1 ctrl_interface=DIR=/var/run/wpa_supplicant ap_scan=1
The first line is necessary if you want wpa_supplicant to able to rewrite the file itself when you add or edit some access point configuration. I needed the third one to get scanning to work.
Compiling wpa_lint
lint-wifi is a python script, you can just copy lint-wifi.py to your phone and make it executable. It relies on wpa_lint however wich is written in C, so you need to compile it.
On Debian/Ubuntu grab openmoko-toolchain_0.20080521-ubuntu6_i386.deb (see [1]). Edit the Makefile for wpa_lint, at the top comment out the line starting with gcc= and add the line gcc = arm-angstrom-linux-gnueabi-gcc
Now just do make and copy the resulting wpa_lint to your phone. Don't forget to make it executable. You should put it in any directory pointed by the superuser PATH (e.g. /usr/sbin/).
There are several requirements needed to run lint-wifi:
- PyGTK
- A valid wpa_supplicant.conf in /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf
Known bugs
If launching 'lint-wifi.py' fails with NameError: name 'init' is not defined, then edit the file /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/gtk-2.0/gtk/__init__.py, go to line 82 and add an underscore in front of the "init()" so that it reads "_init()". Reference [2].
Even the WiFi is off, the icon is still there in illume bar. This is a known bug, see ticket #1742.
Lint-wifi is broken into pages, each page offering various bits of information or control. Below are the screenshot of some pages.
AP List
AP List will show APs that can currently be seen. They will initially be ordered by how wpa_supplicant feels are best. Columns include:
- Enc -- Encryption, consisting of "WPA", "WEP" or "off"
- Signal -- Signal strenght
- Chan -- WiFi Channel
- S -- Indicating network status:
- C: Connected
- K: Known/configured (eg, password is stored) and enabled
- D: Known/configured and disabled
- -: Unknown
- Mode -- At present is unused, will indicate Managed/Infrastructure vs Ad-Hoc
- Scan -- Scan for WiFi networks
- Edit -- Edits the settings of APs configured or visible
- WiFi Off -- Toggle power to the WiFi device
- Exit -- Exit the program
Connection Edit
Select a connection and click the Edit button to set the password. Checking the Save checkbox will issue the save_config command to the wpa_supplicant process, which will rewrite the /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf file.
The Status page will primarily indicate the configured status of eth0.
The Renew DHCP button can be used to nudge udhcpc into renewing.
An "Enable All APs" button enables all that APs set to disabled.
The Conn page shows information related to the associated AP.
Allow hiding certain columns in the AP List.

Welcome to the website for Urban Eden – the movement to promote a sustainable extension of the original masterplan for Milton Keynes.Urban Eden is an organisation dedicated to ensuring that those who know and love Milton Keynes do not sleepwalk through the planned major changes being developed by planners and developers who are seemingly intent on watering down many of the best things about our beautiful city, which we had mistakenly learned to take for granted. We support the realistic expansion of Milton Keynes through growth, and welcome the anticipated improvements to our city and its public realm, but are concerned that the fundamentals of the Master Plan and Original Vision are not lost in the process.
Our priorities are set out in: Urben Eden MK2050 – Principles for a Master Plan. Please click here Urban Eden MK2050, then double click to open our PDF file and read our master plan in the context of the issues we believe passionately are key to a prosperous future for Milton Keynes. Please click here to refer to the NHT Public Satisfaction Survey 2009 referred to in our Master Plan; for more up-to-date transport satisfaction information, please click on NHT PS Survey 2018 vs 2017. Green City We urgently need to preserve and extend our green environment and the linear parks. There are advanced plans to cut down many of the existing trees, notably in the City Centre, and to build right up to the roadways in other parts of the City. We need to support and encourage organisations such as the Parks Trust, which owns not only the parks, but also many of the road verges. Through the determination of organisations such as these, the V10 Brickhilll Street has been saved as a grid road, rather than a "City Street" as was recently planned. It may, nevertheless, face further challenges. Watch this space. |
CMK Boulevards |
They are under imminent threat. The public boulevard structure is already being substantially modified and altered by new developments, such as The Hub and OneMK/Sainsburys. The result is a reduction in the width of the Boulevards from a width of 75 metres to an ugly, narrow wind-tunnel pinch point of 40 metres set between tall buildings, with reduced car parking provision at street level. Elsewhere there are plans to construct new and taller buildings over existing areas of car parking and reduce the open aspect of the boulevards to narrow streets, bounded by architecturally unimaginative buildings. We will lose the porte cocheres, a unique feature of central Milton Keynes, and many of the trees will be cut down. There is a already a new planting plan where the mighty Plane trees, which are just beginning to join at the crowns as originally planned, are to be replaced with tiny flowering cherries or pear trees as 'signature' trees. A few spindly hornbeams are planned elsewhere so that the planners can claim the 'trees are safe' or that the 'net tree losses' are minimal. |
Grid roads and the natural expansion of the system |
We all know that the grid roads are one of the key factors that make living in Milton Keynes unique in Britain. Indeed both travel times and ease of use figure in the adverts that EP propagates in overcrowded, user-unfriendly cities elsewhere. Ironic then that greed for development land and the money it brings to the exchequer is placing it under such threat. The Grid system must not only be preserved it must be extended to make sure that the expansion is viable. For instance, the A5130 between Broughton and Fen Farm should become the new V12 not a so-called "City Street" with traffic restrictions; the effect of this would be to force all the commercial traffic from the new Fen Farm warehousing development onto the V11 and Childs Way in order to get access to the M1. And let's not allow the desperate excuse that we must use our cars less to prevail. In a few years we may all have carbon-neutral, hydrogen-powered cars which expire only water vapour. What will these philistines tell us then, when we have no roads to use them on? Any expansion areas to the City must include an extension of the Grid Roads, which have the added benefit of being wide enough to allow for the inclusion of a tram system or other public transport facility, if funds permit. |
Public transport system that suits MK |
The original plan for MK included large central reservations and borders on the Grid roads to take a tram or monorail system. Where trams have been built, such as Central Manchester, they are enormously popular and successful. Whose heart would not leap to see one running down Midsummer Boulevard to the station, right through an opening in the Midsummer Place glass-walled shopping centre? Urban Eden fully supports a high quality, aspirational and comprehensive public transport policy and one that lives up to the intentions of the original Master Plan, not the ill-thought-out and largely-empty bus lanes, which cause increased traffic congestion and ill serve the potential users of public transport. |
Redways |
Redways have been studied, admired and emulated all over the World. So why are ours under threat? Surely the very fact that they separate pedestrians and cyclists from motorised vehicles means they have saved countless lives here. Let's protect and extend them. While we're at it let's stop EP filling in any more pedestrian underpasses such as the one near the Hub (Avebury Blvd/Witan Gate); recently infilled to make more building land and thus forcing people to cross two busy dual carriageways. |
Principles of the original Master Plan |
The original Master Plan was the most successful ever example of the new towns movement. If it aint broke, why fix it? Once it is all swept away we will live to regret it. We Urban Edenites love Milton Keynes and yes, we are happy for it to expand in a structured and qualitative way, but we are not happy for the very things that make Milton Keynes a uniquely easy-to-use city be swept away. We must all fight for them before it is too late. |

Galileo is Still Going Strong!
News story originally written on January 7, 2000
After ten years of travel, the Galileo spacecraft will finally complete its mission this month. Galileo has been studying Jupiter and its moons. Recently it completed dangerous flybys of the moon Europa, during which it withstood a bombardment of radiation from the satellite. Scientists are amazed the spacecraft is still functioning so well.
Scientists are unsure what to do with Galileo once its mission is finished. They are hoping that NASA will provide funding to keep the spacecraft operational. Where it will go and what it will study has yet to be decided. What scientists do know, is that this strong probe has done a miraculous job.
"After orbiting Jupiter for nearly four years, the spacecraft has more than fulfilled its mission objectives," says deputy project manager Wayne Sible.
Galileo has sent back information supporting the theory that water is present on Europa. The moon has an icy crust, but there is evidence that an ocean may be hidden underneath. If water is or was present, it is possible that Europa has life.
Richard Greenberg, a Galileo researcher, said, "There's a probability, I think, of life on Europa. It's a great environment [for hardy organisms] to live in."

Dr. Maya Angelou passed quietly in her home before 8:00 a.m. EST. Her family is extremely grateful that her ascension was not belabored by a loss of acuity or comprehension. She lived a life as a teacher, activist, artist and human being. She was a warrior for equality, tolerance and peace. The family is extremely appreciative of the time we had with her and we know that she is looking down upon us with love.
Guy B. Johnson
(Reuters) – American author and poet Maya Angelou, whose groundbreaking memoir "I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings" earned her international acclaim with its unflinching account of rape and racism in the segregated South, died on Wednesday at age 86.
The prolific African-American writer, known for her lyrical prose and regal speaking voice, died quietly at her home in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, Angelou's family said in a statement. No cause of death was given.
Major League Baseball had planned to honor her in Houston on Friday as part of the Civil Rights Game festivities, but Angelou announced last week that she would be unable to attend due to health reasons.
Angelou, who was also a civil rights activist, playwright, actress, singer, dancer and professor during her varied career, penned more than 30 books and won numerous awards, including the country's highest civilian honor, the Presidential Medal of Freedom, from President Barack Obama in 2011.
Her latest work, "Mom & Me & Mom," about her mother and grandmother and what they taught her, was released last year. In her last tweet on May 23, Angelou said, "Listen to yourself and in that quietude you might hear the voice of God."
Literary and entertainment figures, politicians and fans mourned her passing on Wednesday.
Obama said his sister, Maya, was named for the author, whom he called "a brilliant writer, a fierce friend and a truly phenomenal woman."
"A childhood of suffering and abuse actually drove her to stop speaking – but the voice she found helped generations of Americans find their rainbow amidst the clouds, and inspired the rest of us to be our best selves," Obama said in a statement.
Media mogul Oprah Winfrey, who frequently threw lavish birthday parties for Angelou and considered her a mentor, said she would remember her friend most for how she lived her life.
"She moved through the world with unshakeable calm, confidence and a fierce grace," Winfrey said.
Angelou, who was 6 feet tall, was born Marguerite Johnson in St. Louis, Missouri, on April 4, 1928. She spent part of her childhood in Stamps, Arkansas with her grandmother after her parents divorced.
At age 7, Angelou was raped by her mother's boyfriend, who was later beaten to death in an assault that some believed was carried out by Angelou's uncles. The trauma of the rape and her assailant's death left Angelou mute for six years.
She began writing during that silent period. She would chronicle the first 17 years of her life in the 1969 autobiography "I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings," which her friend, writer James Baldwin, had encouraged her to write.
The book, which covers the racism Angelou had faced in the 1930s and '40s and her fantasies of being blond and white, is considered an American classic.
She never went to college but collected more than 30 honorary degrees. As a teenager Angelou moved to San Francisco, where she pursued an entertainment career, became an unwed mother at 17 and also found a job as a streetcar conductor.
Working as a calypso singer and dancer, she changed her name to Maya Angelou – based on a childhood nickname and the last name of her first of at least three husbands, Tosh Angelos.
In the late 1950s she moved to New York and joined the Harlem Writers Guild before going to Africa, where she worked for newspapers in Cairo and Accra, Ghana.
In subsequent years she mixed writing with singing and working on projects with civil rights leaders Martin Luther King Jr. and Malcolm X. For years she did not celebrate her birthday because it coincided with the anniversary of King's assassination.
Angelou also directed, wrote and acted in movies, plays and television programs and was a songwriter, educator and popular lecturer. Her acting credits included a role in the ground-breaking television mini-series "Roots" and she wrote the script and score for the movie "Georgia, Georgia."
She was a Grammy winner for three spoken-word albums.
Nathan O. Hatch, the president of Wake Forest University, where Angelou had been a professor of American studies since 1982, said she was a "towering figure" at the school and in American culture with a profound influence in civil rights and racial reconciliation.
In addition to "Mom & Me & Mom," Angelou's other autobiographical works included "Gather Together in My Name," "Singin' and Swingin' and Gettin' Merry Like Christmas," "A Song Flung Up to Heaven," "Wouldn't Take Nothing for My Journey Now," "The Heart of a Woman" and "All God's Children Need Traveling Shoes."
At Bill Clinton's request, Angelou wrote "On the Pulse of Morning" and recited the poem at his 1993 presidential inauguration.
"We share the gratitude of so many for Dr. Angelou's contributions to literature, human rights, and social justice. Her legacy is one that all writers and readers across the world can admire and aspire to," said Harold Augenbraum, the executive director of the National Book Foundation.

Hi Everyone,
I'm a newbie to this forum. I completed my education degree and taught for two years and then decided it was not for me. Following on from this I enrolled in the Masters of HR and had a succesful and very enjoyable first semester. I have just started my second semester (in Perth) and am really keen to get some work experience. However, I am not all that sure where to look? Is it just a case of emailing resumes or asking businesses etc if they have any availability or is there a better way?
Thank you very much

Forest Hill, MD – 11 January 2011 – The Apache Software Foundation (ASF), the all-volunteer developers, stewards, and incubators of nearly 150 Open Source projects and initiatives, today announced Apache Cassandra v0.7, the highly-scalable, second generation Open Source distributed database.
"Apache Cassandra is a key component in cloud computing and other applications that deal with massive amounts of data and high query volumes," said Jonathan Ellis, Vice President of Apache Cassandra. "It is particularly successful in powering large web sites with sharp growth rates."
Apache Cassandra is successfully deployed at organizations with active data sets and large server clusters, including Cisco, Cloudkick, Digg, Facebook, Rackspace, and Twitter. The largest Cassandra cluster to date contains over 400 machines.
"Running any large website is a constant race between scaling your user base and scaling your infrastructure to support it," said David King, Lead Developer at Reddit. "Our traffic more than tripled this year, and the transparent scalability afforded to us by Apache Cassandra is in large part what allowed us to do it on our limited resources. Cassandra v0.7 represents the real-life operations lessons learned from installations like ours and provides further features like column expiration that allow us to scale even more of our infrastructure."
Among the new features in Apache Cassandra v0.7 are:
- Secondary Indexes, an expressive, efficient way to query data through node-local storage on the client side;
- Large Row Support, up to two billion columns per row;
- Online Schema Changes – automated online schema changes from the client API allow adding and modifying object definitions without requiring a cluster restart.
Oversight and Availability
Apache Cassandra is available under the Apache Software License v2.0, and is overseen by a Project Management Committee (PMC), who guide its day-to-day operations, including community development and product releases.
Apache Cassandra v0.7 downloads, documentation, and related resources are available at http://cassandra.apache.org/.

TORONTO – The last Western detainee held at the U.S. military prison in Guantanamo Bay returned to Canada Saturday after a decade in custody and was transferred to a maximum security prison where he awaits parole, Canada's public safety minister said Saturday.
Vic Toews said that 26-year-old Omar Khadr arrived at a Canadian military base on a U.S. government plane early Saturday and was transferred to the Millhaven maximum security prison in Bath, Ontario.
The son of an alleged al-Qaida financier, Khadr pleaded guilty in 2010 to killing a U.S. soldier in Afghanistan and was eligible to return to Canada from Guantanamo Bay last October under terms of a plea deal. Canada's conservative government took almost a year to approve the transfer.
The U.S. Defense Department confirmed the transfer in a statement and said 166 detainees remain in detention at Guantanamo Bay.
Khadr was 15 when he was captured in 2002 in Afghanistan, and has spent a decade at the Guantanamo prison set up on the U.S. naval base in Cuba to hold suspected terrorists after the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks. He received an eight-year sentence in 2010 after being convicted of throwing a grenade that killed Army Sgt. 1st Class Christopher Speer during a 2002 firefight.
"His head is spinning a bit and it's going to be a real adjustment for him, but at the same time he is so happy to be home," John Norris, Khadr's Canadian lawyer, told The Associated Press.
"He can't believe that it is finally true. He simply can't. For very good reason he was quite fearful that the government would not follow through on its word and he's pinching himself right now not believing that this government has finally kept its word," he said.
Norris said Khadr would be eligible for parole as early as the summer of 2013. He said he's been returned to Canada 10 years too late.
Toews said that the U.S. government initiated Khadr's transfer and suggested that Canada had little choice but to accept him because he is a Canadian citizen. It will be up to Canada's national parole board to release him, Toews said.
"Omar Khadr is a known supporter of the al-Qaida terrorist network and a convicted terrorist," Toews said.
Toews called for "robust conditions of supervision" if Khadr is granted parole. Toews said in his written decision that he reviewed all the files forwarded by the U.S. government and said the parole board should consider his concerns that Omar "idealizes" his father and "appears to deny "Ahmed Khadr's lengthy history of terrorist action and association with al-Qaida."
Toews also said that Omar Khadr's mother and sister "have openly applauded" his father's "crimes and terrorist activities" and noted that Omar has had "little contact with Canadian society and will require substantial management in order to ensure safe integration in Canada."
"I am satisfied the Correctional Service of Canada can administer Omar Khadr's sentence in a manner which recognizes the serious nature of the crimes that he has committed and ensure the safety of Canadians is protected during incarceration," Toews said.
Norris said it is regrettable that the minister is trying to influence the parole board.
"Most of what he has said there is simply not true. It's part of the stereotype of Omar that this government has been disseminating from the beginning," Norris said.
He added that once the Correctional Service "will get to know Omar" they will "recommend appropriate conditions."
Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper's Conservative government had long refused to request the return of Khadr, the youngest detainee held at Guantanamo. The reluctance is partly due to suspicions about the Khadr family, which has been called "the first family of terrorism."
Defense attorneys have said Khadr was pushed into fighting the Americans in Afghanistan by his father, Ahmed Said Khadr, an alleged al-Qaida financier whose family stayed with Osama bin Laden briefly when Omar Khadr was a boy.
The Egyptian-born father was killed in 2003 when a Pakistani military helicopter shelled the house where he was staying with senior al-Qaida operatives.
The father was arrested in Pakistan in 1995 after a bomb attack targeting the Egyptian embassy in Islamabad, but was released after former Canadian Prime Minister Jean Chretien appealed to Pakistan to give him due process. Canada was embarrassed when he later emerged as a senior al-Qaida figure.
His son, Omar, was found in the rubble of a bombed-out compound badly wounded and near death in Afghanistan in 2002.
Khadr's family did not immediately respond to messages seeking comment about his release. Norris said he told the family Saturday morning that Omar had returned to Canada.
Norris said it's not for him to say whether Omar should live with his family once he's released.
"You can't change the fact that they are his family," Norris said. "They love him and I know that they'll find a way."
Norris said Khadr has received some education in Guantanamo Bay and hopes that will continue so that he's able to reintegrate into the community.
Khadr has claimed in the past that he was abused at Guantanamo, but Canadian Foreign Affairs officials said they accept U.S. assurances that Khadr was treated humanely. Human rights groups and opposition parties in Canada have long criticized Harper's Conservative government for not doing enough for Khadr.
U.S. Defense Secretary Leon Panetta signed off on Khadr's transfer in April. Panetta said in Ottawa earlier this year that sending Khadr back to Canada would be an important step because it would serve as an example to other detainees who are looking to return to their home countries or other places. Some Guantanamo detainees have been reluctant to agree to plea deals after noting that Khadr had remained in Guantanamo despite being eligible to leave since last October.
Suzanne Nossel, Amnesty International USA Executive Director, said the Guantanamo prison should finally be closed. She said Canada now has a chance to right what she called the many wrongs against Khadr and called for an investigation into Khadr's allegations of torture.
"Given the Obama administration's glacial pace towards closing the U.S.-controlled detention center, little and late though it is, today's news represents progress," Nossell said in a statement.
"Khadr was imprisoned at the age of 15, subjected to ill-treatment and then prosecuted in a military commissions system that does not meet international fair trial standards. Growing up in Guantanamo and facing more prison time in Canada, his future remains uncertain."
The New York-based Center for Constitutional Rights released a statement calling Khadr's case "one of the ugliest chapters in the decade-long history of Guantanamo."
"Khadr never should have been brought to Guantanamo. He was a child of fifteen at the time he was captured, and his subsequent detention and prosecution for purported war crimes was unlawful, as was his torture by U.S. officials," CCR Legal Director Baher Azmy said.

Making business travel awesome
| life, travelBusiness travel makes me anxious.
When I book my flight and hotel, I wonder if I've chosen the right airport and the right flight, and if I can get to the hotel and to the venue easily. I wonder about the moments I'll miss, the stories I'll skip by being away. I worry about my visas and about being stuck on the wrong side of an immigration counter. I worry about losing my paperwork or running out of foreign currency. I worry about forgetting things in hotel rooms or forgetting myself in work.
I can work through the anxiety. My checklists and travel gear make packing easy. I've figured out the trick to doing work at airports and on airplanes. A netbook and a paper notebook mean I never run out of things to do. I wake up early. I explore public transit. Each trip gives me ideas for making the next trip better.
And when I'm there at the presentation, meeting, or workshop, I'm there, not wishing I was miles away.
Many people I talk to who have loved ones at home think of travel as a necessary evil. Travel has its perks: meeting new people, cementing relationships, experiencing new things. But it tires many people out.
If anyone can figure out how to make travel awesome, I can. If travelling will help me create the most value for our clients, the company, and myself, then I might as well figure out how to not only tolerate it, but even enjoy it.
So I made a mind-map today about the things I didn't like about travel and the things I liked about travel, and I decided to work on emphasizing the positives. Here's what I'm going to do to make future trips awesome:
- Learn more. Interesting experiences + time to explore = awesomeness. =)
- Focus on the advantages of stretching my comfort zone. Yes, it's hard to find your way around an unknown city, particularly when you don't have GPS or maps on your phone. But if anyone's prepared to do it, I am. My parents took us backpacking across the US and Europe when my sisters and I were kids, and I loved reading maps. As a technical intern in Japan, I took overnight buses to Kobe, Osaka and Kyoto to see the sights, practice Japanese, and just enjoy wandering around. I'm not one for packaged tours or popular tourist spots. I love starting to find my way around a place, starting to get a feel for the public transit and the pulse of a city.
- Take more pictures and share more media. I usually don't
take a large camera because I pack light, but if I carry a camera, I
can share more experiences with W-, J-, and others. I always take a
recorder, thoughMy netbook has a built-in webcam, so I can explore
videoblogging and I can use it for video chat. Maybe if I take a camera, I can get better at figuring out what a place looks like and feels like. - Enjoy eating out more. I hardly ever eat out in Toronto because home-cooked food is fun to make and eat. When I'm out and about, however, I have to eat at restaurants. I prefer to find small, local haunts instead of eating at multinational chains. W- reminded me that I can use these trips to explore cuisines and look for inspiration. Besides, not spending time on cooking or cleaning up should give me more time to learn, write, and explore.
- Sew more stuff. I liked bringing an eye mask that I made myself. =) I think I'll spend this Canada Day sewing pajamas, and a passport organizer, a travel kit… <laugh>
- Take more pictures and share more media. I usually don't
take a large camera because I pack light, but if I carry a camera, I
can share more experiences with W-, J-, and others. I always take a
recorder, thoughMy netbook has a built-in webcam, so I can explore
videoblogging and I can use it for video chat. - Meet up with friends. I can get better at tweetups and other meetups. Maybe this is what a virtual assistant can help me put together–a list of restaurants near the hotel, a list of people who want to meet up… =)
Maybe I can help find ways to make travel better. =)

Third of women suffer domestic violence: WHO study
LONDON - The Associated Press
In this Thursday, July 30, 2009 file photo Shoes representing female victims of violence are displayed by protesters from the Chilean Network Against Domestic and Sexual Violence in Santiago. AP Photo
In the first major global review of violence against women, a series of reports released Thursday found that about a third of women have been physically or sexually assaulted by a former or current partner.The head of the World Health Organization, Dr. Margaret Chan, called it "a global health problem of epidemic proportions," and other experts said screening for domestic violence should be added to all levels of health care.
Among the findings: 40 percent of women killed worldwide were slain by an intimate partner, and being assaulted by a partner was the most common kind of violence experienced by women.
Researchers used a broad definition of domestic violence, and in cases where country data was incomplete, estimates were used to fill in the gaps. WHO defined physical violence as being slapped, pushed, punched, choked or attacked with a weapon. Sexual violence was defined as being physically forced to have sex, having sex for fear of what the partner might do and being compelled to do something sexual that was humiliating or degrading.
The report also examined rates of sexual violence against women by someone other than a partner and found about 7 percent of women worldwide had previously been a victim.
In conjunction with the report, WHO issued guidelines for authorities to spot problems earlier and said all health workers should be trained to recognize when women may be at risk and how to respond appropriately.
Globally, the WHO review found 30 percent of women are affected by domestic or sexual violence by a partner. The report was based largely on studies from 1983 to 2010. According to the United Nations, more than 600 million women live in countries where domestic violence is not considered a crime.
The rate of domestic violence against women was highest in Africa, the Middle East and Southeast Asia, where 37 percent of women experienced physical or sexual violence from a partner at some point in their lifetimes. The rate was 30 percent in Latin America and 23 percent in North America. In Europe and Asia, it was 25 percent.
Some experts said screening for domestic violence should be added to all levels of health care, such as obstetric clinics.
"It's unlikely that someone would walk into an ER and disclose they've been assaulted," said Sheila Sprague of McMaster University in Canada, who has researched domestic violence in women at orthopedic clinics. She was not connected to the WHO report.
However, "over time, if women are coming into a fracture clinic or a pre-natal clinic, they may tell you they are suffering abuse if you ask," she said.
For domestic violence figures, scientists analyzed information from 86 countries focusing on women and teens over the age of 15. They also assessed studies from 56 countries on sexual violence by someone other than a partner, though they had no data from the Middle East. WHO experts then used modeling techniques to come up with global estimates for the percentage of women who are victims of violence.
Accurate numbers on women and violence are notoriously hard to pin down. A U.S. government survey reported almost two years ago that 1 in 4 American women said they were violently attacked by their husbands or boyfriends, and 1 in 5 said they were victims of rape or attempted rape, with about half those cases involving intimate partners.
Some experts thought the rape estimate was extremely high but said it may have to do with the definition of assault. The results were from a survey that did not document the claims, which were made anonymously.
In a related paper published Thursday online in the journal Lancet, researchers found more than 38 percent of slain women are killed by a former or current partner, six times higher than the rate of men killed by their partners.
Heidi Stoeckl, one of the authors at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, said the figures were probably an underestimate. She and colleagues found that worldwide, a woman's highest risk of murder was from a current or ex-partner.
In countries like India, Stoeckl said "honor killings," where women are sometimes murdered over dowry disputes or perceived offenses like infidelity to protect the family's reputation, add to the problem.
She also noted that women and men are often slain by their partners for different reasons.
"When a woman kills her male partner, it's usually out of self-defense because she has been abused," she said. "But when a woman is killed, it's often after she has left the relationship and the man is killing her out of jealousy or rage."
Stoeckl said criminal justice authorities should intervene sooner.
"When a woman is killed by a partner, she has often already had contact with the police," she said.
Stoeckl said there should be more protection for women from their partners, particularly in cases where there is a history of violence.
"There are enough signs that we should be watching out for that," she said. "We certainly should know if someone is potentially lethal and be able to do something about it."
Abuse common in Turkey
Some 40 percent of Turkish women have suffered physical or sexual abuse at some point from their partners, according to Turkish Statistical Institute (TÜİK) data. The rate of domestic violence against women is highest in Northeast Anatolia, where 57 percent of women have experienced physical or sexual violence from a partner. It was lowest in the western Marmara at 26 percent. Some 17 percent of these have been subjected to physical violence by someone other than a partner, while 3 percent were sexually abused by someone other than a partner. The rate of sexual abuse was highest in Western Anatolia, and was lowest in the Aegean part of the country. The rate of physical violence, however, was highest in Northeastern Anatolia, while it was lowest in western Marmara.

Reader, [klemens], suggested DMG Lib to us when we posted about a similar site. DMG-Lib is an amazing source of information. It's primary downside is that a great portion of the text is in a language other than English, though in some ways this is a plus. Latin, Italian, German, and many other languages held the position of being the chief scientific language of the world long before English, and this repository holds entire books about mechanisms in those languages. Some of the books range all the way back to the 1500s. The mechanism animations are very good on this site and play smoothly. While it's a little harder to search than KMODDL due to the language oddities, it's still an extremely useful and interesting site to add to the hacker's information toolbox.

no thank you but no, i don't need trojan horses from this bloatware
if your going to blame java for you getting a trojan you may as well not sit in front of your monitir you could get cancer
responeible informed use is just fine
and java is so prolific not sure you can call it bloat ware I know java may not be the most efficent
but it is everywhere-
Everywhere? Really? That's news to me, I've not had it installed at all in YEARS and I've not once missed it. This is the first time in who-knows-how-many-years I stumble upon it and I do browse around quite a lot. In fact the last time I remember certainly using it is way back in 2004-ish when every chat used it.
Wether it's worth the 86MB download (default-jre in Ubuntu) just to see the animations is your call, but as far as I'm concerned Java these days is bloatware.
And these guys just seem to be Java-heads, website is .jsp
I iz in ur Android, readin' da bytecode of all ur appz
I am reasonably sure you do not _have_ to watch them – the text is still as good as ever.
Text and static images, I hope, though the site isn't fully loading right now. Is it starting to feel teh powar of being featured on Hack a Day? :-D
There is a bunch of modeling software on there, too!

You don't usually see press releases from state agencies as pointed as the one from the Minnesota Department of Health today. The department announced that it's destroying "blood spots" taken from newborns under the state's newborn screening program. The Minnesota Supreme Court ruled last November that the department couldn't hold onto the samples (see the MPR story).
Here's the full release:
The Minnesota Department of Health has been given permission by Hennepin County District Court Judge Mel Dickstein to begin destroying the blood spot collection cards of approximately 200 infants born each day in Minnesota in order to comply with a recent Minnesota Supreme Court decision. The destruction will include all those specimens received on or after Nov.16, 2011, the date of the Supreme Court decision.
Judge Dickstein ruled after a Jan. 26 hearing that the department may begin the process of destroying the specimens on Jan. 27, the day after a 71-day retention period sought in court filings. Seventy-one days is the amount of time needed to assure confirmation of a positive diagnosis for the 53 heritable or congenital disorders screened for by the Newborn Screening Program.
"For the first time in almost 20 years, we're going to begin destroying a valuable public health resource, the residual blood spots from about 200 babies born in Minnesota each day," said Minnesota Health Commissioner Dr. Edward Ehlinger. "While we are aware that destroying newborn screening blood spots after 71 days will compromise our ability to assure the quality and accuracy of the newborn screening program, we believe it is necessary to take this step in order to comply with the Supreme Court's decision in the Bearder case."
In the case known as Bearder vs. State of Minn., the Minnesota Supreme Court said the department could retain the blood spots only as long as necessary for "testing the samples for heritable and congenital disorders." The court concluded that the 2006 Genetic Information Act mandated that any other use, storage, or dissemination of the blood samples required written informed consent from parents or legal guardians.
Due to the court's restriction on the use of the blood spots without consent, MDH officials said the program will be hampered in its ability to:
Conduct routine quality assurance and quality control tests of existing screening methods
Evaluate improved tests to screen for current disorders
Validate testing procedures or calibrate instruments to run new screening tests
For example, under the limitations of the court ruling and the Genetic Information Act, implementation of a new screening test for Severe Combined Immunodeficiency (SCID) will be delayed. MDH will have to purchase previously consented specimens from another state to test the lab methods and instruments in order to validate the test. A test must be validated before it can be used to provide results to patients. Additionally, specimens from another state will not be representative of the characteristics of Minnesota babies, such as race or ethnicity, so the validation may not be as robust for Minnesota's population, program officials said.
In addition, storage of the residual dried blood spots provides other benefits to Minnesota families:
>> The baby's screening tests can be repeated if needed without getting another blood sample from the baby.
>>The baby's sample is available to parents for other health-related testing (for example, in the case of unexplained deaths such as SIDS*).
>>The baby's sample is available to parents to help identify a missing or deceased child.
Storage provides a permanent record that MDH completed the screening.
In order to comply with the Supreme Court ruling, the department determined that it needed to destroy the spots. However, two new lawsuits filed against the department, alleging violation of the Genetic Information Act, require that all evidence pertaining to the suits, including blood spots, be retained. Thus, the department concluded that it could not comply with the Supreme Court ruling with regard to babies born since the ruling without being liable for charges of spoliation of evidence in the other cases. So the department sought and was granted an emergency protective order in Hennepin County District Court, where the lawsuits were filed, that gave permission to destroy bloodspot specimens received on or after Nov. 16.
According to the department's plan, all blood spots will be destroyed after 71 days have elapsed since the specimen was received. The spots will be destroyed on a daily basis using the Public Health Laboratory's currently approved methods. For those babies who are found to be affected by one of the heritable or congenital newborn screening disorders, newborn screening staff will seek consent from the parents to retain the spots for future use, such as the improvement of current tests. The records of the results from all screens will be kept for two years as required by federal law, and then destroyed.
Currently, every baby born in Minnesota, within 24-48 hours after birth, has drops of blood placed on a specimen collection card. The cards are sent to MDH for analysis of 53 rare but treatable disorders that can only be found before symptoms occur through newborn screening. If left untreated, the disorders lead to illness, physical disability, mental retardation, or death. Medications or changes in diet help prevent most health problems caused by disorders that are identified through newborn screening. Though newborn screening is mandated, parents and legal guardians may choose to refuse screening of their child or to have their child screened, but to have the spots and test results destroyed.
In 2009, nine families filed the Bearder lawsuit in Hennepin County District Court claiming the newborn screening program fell under the Genetic Information statute and blood spots and data were being stored in violation of the statute. MDH argued that the Genetic Information Act did not apply because the newborn screening statutes gave it "express authorization" to run the program. The District and Appeals Courts agreed, but the Supreme Court disagreed, finding that the newborn screening statutes give "express authorization" only for certain components of the program.
Ehlinger said the department will be pursuing legislation this session that aims at fixing problems with existing statutes. "We will be working with our many public health and children's health partners to seek changes to the newborn screening and genetic information statutes that are needed to maintain the quality program that protects babies and for which Minnesota is recognized nationally," he said.
The action comes six years after some medical privacy advocates called for an end to the storage of genetic information by the state without consent.

The United States is to
provide US$6.35m in drought relief. That is just US$1m short of the US$7.3m the
Swazi Government is paying as a deposit this year for a private jet for King
Mswati III.
Swaziland declared a
national emergency in February 2016 and
called for international aid to
help feed 300,000 people affected by a prolonged drought.
In April 2016, the Swazi
Government agreed to
spend E96m (US$7.3m) on a deposit for
an Airbus A340-300 that will eventually cost E200m to buy. There are also expected
to be additional costs for upgrades to the interior.
King Mswati, who rules
Swaziland as sub-Saharan Africa's last absolute monarch, already has a private
jet, but he considers it too small. The King is continually criticised outside
of Swaziland for his lavish spending. He has at least 13 palaces, a fleet of
top-of-the-range Mercedes and BMW cars and at least one Rolls Royce.
Meanwhile, this week it was
reported by Swaziland Ministry of Sports, Culture
and Youth Affairs that 756,000
out of 1.2 million Swazis currently live below the international poverty line
of US$1 or E13 a day.
The United States Agency
for International Development (USAID) will provide food, seeds, hay and potable
water to more than 50,000 people across four regions in Swaziland.

My thoughts on February 28, 2011
Lest we forget the 228 Massacre (二二八大屠殺) of 1947
What am I thinking about on this 64th anniversary of one of the most horrific events in Taiwan's history?
I'm remembering with dismay that the Chinese Nationalist Party (KMT) is still in power -- even after behaving as colonizers for over six decades -- because they still use illicit methods to get elected. Here are some examples:
* Vote buying is rampant even within their own party's Central Standing Committee, but they keep putting the guilty ones right back in.I'm reminded that the Chinese KMT still uses thuggery to maintain their power. Here are some examples:
* In the January 2010 legislative by-elections, "Two of the three seats up for grabs […] in Taoyuan, Taichung and Taitung counties were left vacant by former KMT legislators found guilty of vote-buying," reminding us of their "tradition of buying votes."
* Lee Min-yung (李敏勇) reminds readers: "The roots of vote-buying can be found in the Chinese Nationalist Party's (KMT) long hold on power and its system for distributing the spoils of government."
* Laurence Eyton enlightens in a 2004 piece in the Asia Times Online: "[The Chinese KMT] has traditionally used its wealth to engage in what it calls 'traditional electoral practices', ie vote buying […]"
* When disgraced former Toronto-based Government Information Office (GIO) official Kuo Kuan-ying (郭冠英) returned to Taiwan, he was picked up at airport and "assisted" by thugs in black shirts assigned by Bamboo Union (竹聯幫) gang leader Chang An-le (張安樂).I'm reminded that the Chinese KMT is still distorting history. Here are some examples:
* People wearing black T-shirts and vests bearing the name of the Matsu Temple (大天后宮) physically remove college students from a protest against the Ma Ying-jeou (馬英九) government's policies regarding students from China.
* Despite denials by police, experience should tell you who the guys in the black shirts helping to defend Chinese envoy Chen Yunlin (陳雲林) are.
* Read my post about the movie "Formosa Betrayed," which dramatizes real incidents involving the Chinese KMT, including their use of gangsters to carry out the assassination of a political dissident on American soil.
* A Taipei Times editorial reminds readers about Ma's empty promises: "So much for saying that the memorial hall [renaming] issue was 'not a pressing matter.'"And I'm reminded that while Chinese KMT chairman Ma Ying-jeou -- elected as Taiwan's president in 2008 on a promise of "no unification, no independence and no use of force" (不統、不獨、不武) -- has long claimed to support democracy, he still doesn't. Here are some examples:
* Here's a photo of a display from the renovated 228 Memorial Museum which paints former dictator Chiang Kai-shek (蔣介石) as "recovering … order" instead of as being the perpetrator of the massacre.
* Exhibits at the newly-renovated museum paint peaceful protesters as "mobs."
* President Ma pretends that the Chinese KMT has "dealt with its past" to the same extent the government of Germany has done since World War II.
* On the blog of Taipei City councilor Chien Yu-yen (簡余晏) you can read some of the details (Hanzi) and see photos (containing Hanzi text and a little bit of English) and video (Taiwanese and Mandarin audio, Hanzi text and a little bit of English) detailing some of the changes to the museum.
* Remember the days when Ma was publicly against direct presidential elections.And I wouldn't be able to forget, no matter how hard I tried, that while Ma is in office as president of Taiwan, he primarily serves China. Here are some very recent examples:
* Remember when the Chinese KMT boycotted their own referendum about Taiwan's participation in the United Nations.
* The Executive Yuan's (行政院) Referendum Review Committee (公投審議委員會) turned down proposed referendums on the Economic Cooperation Framework Agreement (ECFA) with China three times, despite (or perhaps because of) the fact that it had more than enough signatures and support in polls!
* In mid-2009, the Ma government reverted the Taiwan Democracy Memorial Hall (臺灣民主紀念館) to its former name: the Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall (蔣中正紀念堂).
* Ma wants people to stop calling China "China" and to call it "the mainland" or "the other side."People of Taiwan, when are you going to stop this from ever happening again?
* A short time later, Beijing "praises" Ma for this.
* The Philippine government deports 14 Taiwanese suspects to China, basing the decision on a "one China" policy, yet Ma places zero blame on China.

DETROIT (AP) — Matthew Stafford struck a balance between making plays and avoiding mistakes to keep the Detroit Lions in the playoff picture.
Stafford threw two touchdown passes and didn't have a turnover, helping Detroit beat the Chicago Bears 20-10 on Saturday night.
"It's just trying to be as calculated as you can with those chances that you're going to take," he said. "And, understanding the game situation."
Detroit (8-6) has won two straight and needs to close the regular season with two more wins to keep its postseason hopes alive.
"We've got to win to stay in," said tight end Eric Ebron, who caught Stafford's second TD pass. "If we win, we will hopefully make it to the playoffs. If not, then we get booted."
Whether the Bears (4-10) win another game this season or not, they may end up giving coach John Fox the boot.
Chicago has lost six of seven, sealing a third season with double-digit losses in three years under its embattled coach.
Stafford threw a 3-yard touchdown pass to TJ Jones to put Detroit up 13-0 with 6:10 left in the first half after Fox chose to punt on fourth-and-1 from the Chicago 45.
"We were thinking about field position," Fox said. "It's not a no-lose situation because if we don't make it, they've got the ball at our 45. Like I said, you could go for it, but you have to know that it can come back and bite you."
Stafford was 25 of 33 for 237 yards and didn't throw an interception for the first time since Week 11. His 8-yard pass to Ebron gave Detroit a 20-3 lead early in the third quarter after Darius Slay's first of two interceptions .
Chicago rookie Mitchell Trubisky had season highs in completions (31), attempts (46), yards passing (314) and interceptions (three) including one to safety Quandre Diggs in the end zone early in the fourth quarter.
"We have complete confidence in Mitch," Fox said. "And, we know that he's going to have better days."
Trubisky threw a 9-yard TD pass to Benny Cunningham to make it 20-10 with 2:32 left. After Fox chose not to try an onside kick, the Bears got the ball back 25 seconds later on their 6 and moved the ball to the Detroit 25 before Slay's second interception ended their comeback hopes.
Lions receiver Marin Jones had three catches for 85 yards, including a 58-yard catch in which he raced across the field and leaped in front of safety Eddie Jackson to set up the TD pass to TJ Jones.
"When I saw him out of the corner of my eye, I didn't think he was as close as he was," Jackson said. "By the time I jumped, he was on to me already."
Marvin Jones has single-season, career-high 18 catches of 20-plus yards this season.
The Bears ran for just 43 yards on 15 carries after having a season-high 232 yards rushing in last week's 33-7 win at Cincinnati, forcing them to throw a lot with Trubisky.
When TJ Jones scored, he and some teammates celebrated with a Rockettes-like kick line . Detroit's Golden Tate got turned around after making a catch later in the game, and kept spinning with his hands over his head as if he was a ballerina.
"I didn't practice it," Tate said. "Never even thought about it. It seemed like it was just a moment to do something crazy."
Bears: S Chris Prosinski, who started in place of injured starter Adrian Amos, and OT Tom Compton went into concussion protocol. LB Pernell McPhee left the game with a shoulder injury, an ailment that kept him out of the previous game. OT Josh Sitton had an ankle injury.
Lions: OG T.J. Lang left the game with a foot injury, which limited him in practice and led to him being listed as questionable to play. Lang left a line that began the game without two injured starters: center Travis Swanson and right tackle Rick Wagner. TJ Jones hurt his shoulder while covering a punt.
Bears: Host Cleveland on Sunday, Dec. 24.
Lions: At Cincinnati on Sunday, Dec. 24.

::Making Grown Men Cry Since 1992
5 min read
My snootiness was in full flower as I drove to the Esther Bone Memorial Library in Rio Rancho. I was on my way to a panel discussion featuring three New Mexico-based romance writers: Celeste Bradley, Doranna Durgin and Alice Duncan. It didn't help that I was stressing out about being late to something I'd already decided wouldn't teach me anything. They're not for serious people, I thought. They aren't real books. I pulled into the parking lot and hurried into the building. Although full of preconceptions, I secretly harbored a small flame of hope that someone would redeem the genre for me.This story begins two months ago when, in the span of a week, I received review copies of several romance novels, as well as invitations to various events featuring authors in the genre. I discovered Romance Writers of America, and its New Mexico chapter, Land of Enchantment Romance Authors, which has more than 50 members. As I talked to other Alibi staff members about this most-looked-down-upon genre, our curiosity deepened. We had to know who was writing—and reading—all of these books.When I took a seat at the panel discussion, I noticed the other attendees were not all middle-aged soccer moms, as my preconception dictated. Some were granny-age ladies, several were hip-looking chicks in their twenties, and even two men sat in the audience, waiting calmly. As the writers talked, my judgments started to change. These authors were serious about their craft."I always wanted to write books," said Alice Duncan, a brassy woman with gray hair. "I guess as soon as my mother first read me a story, I wanted to write them." It took her decades to pen her first book, which was published in 1995. Since then she has produced more than 45 titles.Doranna Durgin, who also has dozens of books under her belt, said she writes best in hermit conditions. She also works every day, giving herself a word-count quota to meet. New York Times best-selling author Celeste Bradley said she writes up to 25 pages a day. All three women research extensively for their books. Durgin said she has interviewed people as diverse as genetic scientists and highland cattle breeders. Once, when Bradley saw two policewomen eating in at restaurant, she asked them to stand up and describe how all their gear worked. Duncan collects vintage magazines, recipes and clothing ads for future use. Each of the authors has developed her own process. Durgin starts at the beginning of a story and writes through to the end, chronologically, while enjoying the freedom to come up with ideas as she goes. "I don't really like to follow outlines, so I try to sketch things kind of vaguely," she said. "You know, 'insert miracle here'."Before I could ask, Bradley addressed one of my criticisms. "I know it's marshmallow fluff," she said, acknowledging the books' pure escapism. "It's for fun." Then she revealed how she motivates herself on days she doesn't feel like working. She pictures a woman who is "responsible for too many people. She has little children and elderly parents and a crazy husband. And she needs to escape." This image—that Bradley and countless other real-life people can intimately relate to—makes her sit down every day and write. "The fact that I could help her get through it means a lot to me."Bradley said she firmly forms her stories before she begins. After she finishes a book, she thinks about the next one for several months, planning what it will be about. She then creates an outline on a 50-foot-long piece of paper. She might write out of order, like the last scene first, she said, but she sticks to what's in the outline. "Usually when I'm finished, the book is finished. I don't really go back and make a lot of changes … my first draft is usually my last, too." However, she said she does revisit her manuscripts to check a few things, especially to make sure there are equal parts male and female points of view.These romance writers are, in fact, writers—with discipline, quirks and passion for their work—not unlike the harried journalists tapping away at keyboards in the Alibi offices. Durgin said her biggest reward is when she gets feedback from a reader that she has reached them. If a book's basic job is to affect you in some way—and offer you something that your life doesn't—perhaps it doesn't matter if it's a serious classic, marshmallow fluff or anything in between. Heck, at least you're reading.
