Cocktails And Carnival
New Internationalist 346 June 2002
The first thing people usually associate with Brazil is carnival – the world's biggest, loudest and most infamous party.
For one week, normal life stops and parades, floats and dancing take over. Behind the scenes, however, carnival has a serious side: it is also the time when Brazil's Health Ministry redoubles its efforts to educate party-goers about the risk of AIDS. Billboards, T-shirts and television commercials encourage young and old alike to have safe sex and use condoms – 'the party gowns of life'. The message could not come at a better time. In a culture famous for its libidinous ways, carnival is the wildest time of all.
Nearly a decade ago, the World Bank warned that Brazil would have over a million AIDS cases by the turn of the century if action were not taken. Today, while the country has lost 100,000 people to the deadly virus, infection rates remain a low 0.6 per cent and the predicted epidemic has been avoided.
Prevention is one of the pillars of Brazil's successful AIDS programme. But treatment and human rights are also key.
Brazil began investing in drug therapies in the early 1990s, even though aid agencies argued that drug therapy was not 'cost effective' and that scarce resources should be concentrated on prevention.
But, says Paulo Teixeira, head of the government AIDS programme, the Brazilian thinking was different: 'It is impossible to mobilize a society, to mobilize people – infected or not – for a national effort if you do not provide what they are expecting to receive: support and clinical treatment.'
Brazil's commitment to providing affordable drug therapy is abundantly clear. Last year, the Health Ministry distributed antiretroviral (ARV) drugs to 110,000 registered HIV patients – free of charge.
'Access to free medication encourages more people to test themselves and helps curb the spread of the disease,' explains Veriano Terto, general co-ordinator of the Associação Brasileira Interdisciplinar de AIDS. ABIA is a non-profit organization which conducts research and provides counselling to HIV-positive people.
Terto, who learned that he was HIV positive in 1996 and began treatment the following year, says that in a developing nation like Brazil drug therapy needs to be available and affordable.
'Like most other Brazilians I would not be able to afford the high price of the medication.' Since learning of his illness Terto has been able to continue working normally and was able to finish a doctorate in public health.
Like other cash-strapped developing countries, Brazil was faced with the problem of providing a growing number of AIDS patients with expensive treatments sold only by large, international drug companies.
Brazil's answer: manufacture the drugs locally.
'We started producing those drugs before the country signed the WTO Trade Related Intellectual Property agreement (TRIPs) in 1996,' recalls Teixeira. 'The first consequence was that the price dropped tremendously – some 80 per cent.' While treatment in the US costs $12,000, in Brazil it is $2,500 and falling. With most ARVs already on the market before the country adjusted its patent laws to WTO requirements, Brazil could sidestep steep royalties to the companies when making generic copies.
Government labs currently produce 8 of the 14 ingredients that make up the so-called AIDS cocktail. The government saves $250 million a year by not paying for the high-priced, patent-protected imported drugs, and it avoids the additional expenses of hospital care for untreated patients.
'The reduction in the incidence of AIDS-related diseases has saved us $670 million over three years,' reports Dr Marco Antônio Victória, chief medical advisor to Brazil's AIDS programme.
Government participation in Brazil's $6.5 billion domestic drug market was not cheered by everyone. The giant multinational companies, collectively known as Big Pharma, were angered by the cheaper, generic drugs. More recently, their ire has focused on government research into newer ARV treatments. Unlike generics, Efavirenz (sold by Merck) and Nelfinavir (made by Hoffmann-La Roche) are protected by Brazilian patent legislation.
The US, pressured by Big Pharma, threatened a WTO investigation of Brazil's breach of the TRIPs accord. But unlike smaller nations that often back down in the face of pressure, Brazil rallied international support for its case. Both the UN Commission of Human Rights (UNCHR) and the World Health Organization (WHO) approved Brazilian-sponsored motions supporting access to life-saving drugs as a basic human right. The country then scored another small victory at the WTO's annual meeting in Doha, Qatar last November where the US – partially owing to the Anthrax scare – offered lukewarm support to a similar measure.
Meanwhile, the government lab FarManguinhos was diligently working to crack the secret of Efavirenz and Nelfinavir.
After learning how the drugs were manufactured, Brazil would be in a position to threaten to break their patents and produce them locally – or negotiate better prices with suppliers Merck and Hoffmann-La Roche.
Eloan Pinheiro, director of the state-owned FarManguinhos lab, adds that after discovering the make-up of a drug it is possible to compare the cost of production to the retail price. 'It was easy to calculate the profit margin. It was enormous and continuous to be exorbitant,' she says.
With the drug companies stripped of their clothes, the Health Ministry negotiated price reductions of 58 per cent for Nelfinavir (from $1.53 a capsule to $0.65) and 64 per cent for Efavirenz (from $2.32 a capsule to $0.84).
Despite the success of Brazil's generic programme, it is far from perfect. The country has 110,000 HIV-positive patients who receive the drugs, but another half-million people are estimated to be infected who don't benefit from government programmes.
'We still have AIDS being contracted by socially excluded, more marginalized people,' says Veriano Terto of the ABIA. 'And while the conditions of poverty, unemployment and violence that create such marginalization are not combated, it will be difficult to control the spread of AIDS in these populations.'
Brazil remains a highly stratified society and its public-health system continues to be underfunded. But whatever its shortcomings, the country has made significant progress despite limited resources.
In fact, one of Brazil's newest exports is its expertise in dealing with HIV/AIDS. Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) recently signed an agreement with FarManguinhos to use their generic antiretrovirals in MSF projects. In return, MSF helps fund FarManguinhos' efforts to find new cures for diseases ignored by Big Pharma.
Brazil has also signed technical co-operation agreements with four African countries – Angola, Mozambique, Guinea Bissau and São Tomé. And several others, including Namibia, Zimbabwe, South Africa, Kenya, Nigeria and Botswana are said to be interested in the country's AIDS drugs.

ABIDJAN, Ivory Coast, Jan. 1 (UPI) -- Ivory Coast is already in a state of civil war, Prime Minister Guillaume Soro said Saturday.
Soro said at least 200 people have been killed and another 1,000 wounded by fighting since the disputed presidential election, The Daily Telegraph reported. Soro resigned from President Laurent Gbagbo's government when Gbagbo claimed victory, but was reappointed by former Prime Minister Alassane Ouattara, who has been recognized by international bodies as the winner.
"This is what's at stake: Either we assist in the installation of democracy in Ivory Coast or we stand by indifferent and allow democracy to be assassinated," Soro said.
Gbagbo, meanwhile, said the United Nations, the African Union and other international organizations, are staging a coup against him, the BBC said.
In a New Year's Eve speech in Abidjan, he said pressure on him to resign was "an attempted coup d'etat carried out under the banner of the international community." Gbagbo singled out France, the country's original colonizer, as his primary opponent.
"When it's something to do with Francophone Sub-Saharan Africa, France speaks and the rest follow," Gbagbo said.
The United Nations has kept 9,500 peacekeepers in the small country wracked by political instability since 2002. The much-delayed presidential runoff was intended to unite Ivory Coast after 10 years of north-south division.

Product ID :
Silicon Valley Tech (Karachi) 95% Positive
24 - 48 Hours
The DGS 3120 Series xStack Gigabit L2 Stackable Managed Switches consists of:
Below optional upgrade licence available to upgrade from Standard Image (SI) to Enhanced Image (EI):
The DGS-3120 xStack Series switches are enhanced L2 access stackable switches designed to connect end-users in a secure SMB or enterprise network. These switches support physical stacking, multicast, and enhanced security, making them an ideal Gigabit access layer solution. The DGS-3120-24TC/48TC provides 20 or 44 10/100/1000 Mbps Gigabit Ethernet ports, and 4 combo 1000BASE-T/SFP Gigabit Ethernet ports. The DGS-3120-24PC/48PC provides 24 or 48 10/100/1000 Mbps PoE Gigabit Ethernet ports and 4 combo 1000BASE-T/SFP Gigabit Ethernet ports. The DGS-3120-24SC provides 16 SFP Gigabit Ethernet ports and 8 combo 1000BASE-T/SFP Gigabit ports. Each 10/100/1000 Mbps port on the DGS-3120-24PC/48PC supports the 802.3af and 802.3at Power over Ethernet standards. The default power budget for these models is 370 watts and can be expanded to 760 watts with the DPS-700 RPS. The switches are also equipped with an SD Card slot, allowing the user to boot images and upload configuration files directly from an SD Card as well as conveniently save syslog files onto the SD Card.
Standard and Enhanced Images
The DGS-3120 Series is embedded with two different software images - the Standard Image (SI) and Enhanced Image (EI). The Standard Image provides sophisticated features for campus or enterprise usage. It includes advanced Quality of Service (QoS), traffic shaping, L2 multicasting, robust security features, and IPv6 features which are suitable for next-generation IPv6 networks or triple play applications over Metro Ethernet*. The Enhanced Image supports ERPS, Double VLAN (Q-in-Q), Ethernet OAM, Static Route, IMPB, and sFlow.
Enhanced Network Reliability
The DGS-3120 Series targets enterprises, campuses, and customers who require a high level of network security and maximum uptime. They also include other features, such as 802.1D Spanning Tree (STP), 802.1w Rapid Spanning Tree (RSTP), and 802.1s Multiple Spanning Tree (MSTP), Loopback Detection (LBD), and Broadcast Storm Control, that enhances network resilience. G.8032 Ethernet Ring Protection Switching (ERPS) minimizes the recovery time to 50ms. For load sharing and redundancy backup in a switch cascading/server attachment configuration, the DGS-3120 Series provides dynamic 802.3ad Link Aggregation Port Trunking.
Comprehensive Security
The DGS-3120 Series provides users with the latest security features such as Multi-layer and Packet Content Access Control Lists (ACL), Storm Control, and IP-MAC-Port Binding (IMPB) with DHCP Snooping. The IP-MAC-Port Binding feature allows administrators to bind a source IP address with an associated MAC and also define the port number to enhance user access control. With the DHCP Snooping feature, the switch automatically learns IP/MAC pairs by snooping DHCP packets and saving them to the IMPB white list. In addition, the D-Link Safeguard Engine identifies and prioritizes "CPU interested" packets to prevent malicious traffic from interrupting normal network flows, and to protect switch operation.
Identity Driven Network Policies
The DGS-3120 Series supports authentication mechanisms such as 802.1X, Web-based Access Control (WAC), and MAC-based Access Control (MAC) for strict access control and easy deployment. After authentication, individual policies such as VLAN membership, QoS policies, and ACL rules can be assigned to each host. In addition, the switch also supports Microsoft® NAP (Network Access Protection). NAP is a policy enforcement technology that allows customers to protect network assets from unhealthy computers by enforcing compliance with network health policies.
Traffic Management for Triple Play
The DGS-3120 Series implements a rich set of multilayer QoS/CoS features to ensure that critical network services such as VoIP, video conferencing, IPTV, and IP surveillance are given high priority. Traffic Shaping features guarantee bandwidth for these services when the network is busy. L2 Multicast support enables the DGS-3120 to handle growing IPTV bandwidth requirements. Host-based IGMP/MLD Snooping allows multiple multicast subscribers per physical interface and ISM VLAN sends multicast streams in a multicast VLAN to save bandwidth and to provide better security to the backbone network. The ISM VLAN profiles allow users to bind/replace the pre-defined multicast registration information to subscriber ports quickly and easily.
Proactive, Effective Network Management
To uphold enterprise customers' Service Level Agreements (SLA), service providers must reduce their Mean Time to Repair (MTTR) and increase service availability. Ethernet OAM features address these challenges and enable service providers to offer carrier-grade services. The DGS-3120 Series supports industry-standard OAM tools, including IEEE 802.3ah, IEEE802.1ag, and ITU-T Y.1731. Connectivity Fault Management (CFM) provides tools to monitor and troubleshoot end-to-end Ethernet networks, allowing service providers to check connectivity, isolate network issues, and identify customers affected by network issues.
IPv6 Technology
The DGS-3120 Series is fully compliant with future IPv6 networks. It supports remote IPv6 manageability from telnet, HTTP, or SNMP. To create secure IPv6 networks, the DGS-3120 Series uses IPv6 ACL, DHCPv6 Snooping, and Neighbour Discovery (ND) snooping functions to protect the network from illegal IPv6 clients. The DGS-3120 Series has been certified with IPv6 Ready Logo Phase 2 from the IPv6 forum, a worldwide IPv6 advocacy consortium. The IPv6 Ready Logo Program ensures the conformance and interoperability of IPv6 products.
D-Link Green Technology
D-Link is striving to take the lead in developing innovative and power-saving technology that does not sacrifice operational performance or functionality. The DGS-3120 Series implements D-Link Green Technology, which includes a power saving mode, Smart Fan, reduced heat, and cable length detection. The power-saving feature automatically powers down ports that are detected to have no link or link partner. The Smart Fan feature allows for the built-in fans to automatically turn on at a certain temperature, providing continuous, reliable, and eco-friendly operation of the switch.
D-Link's Single IP Management (SIM) simplifies and speeds up management tasks, allowing multiple switches to be configured, monitored, and maintained from any workstation running a web browser through one unique IP address. This virtual stack is managed as a single object, having all units maintained by one IP address. The DGS-3120 Series also supports standard-based management protocols such as SNMP, RMON, Telnet, Console, Web-based GUI, and SSH/SSL security authentication.

With its raging floodwaters and fierce winds that gusted up to 85 miles per hour, Hurricane Sandy severely tested the Merrick Fire Department, but according to department spokesman Ron Luparello, Merrick's bravest weathered the storm, aiding countless residents as they struggled to stay afloat in what many described as the "storm of the century."
With a 10-foot tidal surge, Sandy brought floodwaters as far north as Merrick Road, trapping hundreds of helpless residents who stayed in the south Merrick evacuation zone. Fire volunteers could not rescue all of those who wanted to evacuate as the storm bore down on the community, but, Luparello said, volunteers spent the long night of Oct. 29 in the department's rescue boat, ferrying residents suffering from serious medical conditions to higher ground.
"A lot of the guys went way out of their way," Luparello said. "There were members wading through water. It was like rapids. There were a lot of heroics that people don't know about.
"There were some places we could never reach, they were so bad," he added. "We were swamped."
That night, Luparello said, the department received a frantic call from a friend of a south Merrick resident who had posted on Facebook that there was smoke in her home. The friend saw the post and believed the home was on fire. It wasn't. But department volunteers commandeered a landscaper's dump truck to reach the home, which was surrounded by 5-foot-deep floodwaters.
"We had no other way to get there," Luparello said.
The department did fight two actual fires during the storm, and one volunteer was hospitalized after sustaining injuries battling a building fire.
The department lost entire fire engines during Sandy, because trucks were exposed to saltwater on rescue runs. One ladder truck had its computer system knocked out. One engine truck's brake lines rotted out in the days after the storm. Another engine truck was damaged by floating debris. The department is now borrowing equipment from the East Meadow Fire Department to handle the myriad calls that have come in during the past two weeks, including a half-dozen fires that started when people attempted to start submerged electrical or heating systems or cars. In all, the department has responded to 280 calls since Sandy hit –– or, put another way, three months' worth of calls in two weeks.

Day's Worst: Grim developments in case of missing boy
With police statements that 13-year-old Dylan Redwine did not run away, the prospects in the case of the boy who went missing Nov. 19 from his father's home near Vallecito took a turn for the worse.
Authorities said Dylan has a habit of staying in touch with family and friends, and the lack of activity on his cellphone in combination with the length of time he has been gone contribute to their conclusion that he didn't run away, according to the Durango Herald.
Dylan, visiting his father under court order, is from Colorado Springs, where he lives with his mother. Since his father called police to report Dylan missing, law enforcement officers have gone door-to-door, seeking information. They have used dive teams to search a nearby reservoir and have brought cadaver dogs out to search the area.
Still nothing. Like many from the community, we hope for his safe recovery but fear the worst.

Six Years Later, JK Rowling Realizes Ebooks Are A Good Idea... And She Cuts Out The Middleman
from the leapfrog dept
On top of that, it looks like she's really trying to add more value, as well. The site is going to have social networking features to connect fans of the books, and will also include extra (and new) content (both written and graphical), which apparently will continue to grow over time. The whole thing is set up as an interactive and immersive experience. Basically, she's very nicely realized that she can do more beyond just the book. While I've had my problems with Rowling's approach to the online world in the past, this seems like a huge leap forward. And, yes, she's in a different position than most authors, but I think any author will be able to learn from this, if just to recognize that you can do more to connect with fans outside of just the straight book experience.

T2010 needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 479 designs submitted by 79 freelance designers.
Radian Security
We are a privately-held company providing sales, installation, and service of high-quality security camera systems in the Houston metro area. While our current market is security camera systems, it is possible that the business will expand to include burglar alarm systems and home automation. An engineering background and a commitment to customer service set us apart.
We seek commercial and residential clients desiring to monitor assets and deter theft and vandalism. The ideal client understands that "value" encompasses several factors including; cost, performance, and personal service.
We are looking for a logo to represent our company, Radian Security, for all branding purposes.
1. The logo should convey strength, security, trust, reliability, and professionalism.
2. The logo will be used for our website, vehicle decals/wrap, signage, marketing materials, business forms, business cards, letterhead, embroidered logos etc.. Ideally, the logo should be suitable for use on both light and dark backgrounds.
3. The typeface should be clear, and the final product should clearly differentiate "Radian" from radius, radiant, and other similar words.
4. The logo should include the words "Radian Security" as unique text, an icon with included text, or an icon with adjacent text. I am open to all suggestions and presentations of design and color. Surprise me!
5. The prospective client should be reassured, not intimidated. No badges, burglar bars, snarling dogs, etc..
6. I would like to add a thought about client perspectives. Our services are marketed to the commercial and residential markets. A businessperson looking for a service provider may notice the quality of the website and consume the information without emotion. A housewife, on the other hand, checking websites and making a call while her husband is at work may have an emotionally-driven perspective, as one's home is a place of safety and comfort. Ulimately, the design should look professional without looking sterile or industrial.
Please supply the logo in Adobe Illustrator (.ai) vector format and include any custom or non-standard fonts.
Please do not use stock images or clip art.
Thank you for your interest in our project! We look forward to working with you!

This sweet faced fox was rescued from a fur farm as a kit and every year his wildlife rehabilitation center allows him to celebrate the anniversary of his rescue with a bag of his favorite treat — marshmallows.
According to the uploader:
This has been his favorite treat since he was a baby. And because marshmallows are almost entirely made out of sugar, he doesn't get it too often! I gave him the entire bag here, because it's fun and enriching for him to get excess food that triggers the instinct to hide the rest for later. Watch how he scrambles to stuff a few into his mouth before caching the rest.
Semi-freedom tastes pretty sweet!

Information by Country
Global Section:
28.5 million children still waiting for an education because of conflicts
NEW YORK, 23 September 2013 Global leaders from governments, international organizations and civil society today warned that 28.5 million children in countries affected by conflict are still being denied access to learning and that they must not be made to wait any longer for an education.
More than half of the worlds 57 million primary-school-age children who are out of school live in countries scarred by war and conflict and are denied the right to an education, compared to 42 percent in 2008.
According to data from Save the Children, conflicts, fighting and displacement in countries such as Syria, the Central African Republic, Mali, and in the Democratic Republic of Congo have largely contributed to this increase.
Tens of thousands of schools have been attacked or are occupied by armed forces, heightening the risk that children caught up in these crises will never go to school or will drop out.
Todays Education Cannot Wait event, held for the second consecutive year during the United Nations General Assembly, was chaired by Gordon Brown, the United Nations Special Envoy for Global Education. It was convened in support of the Secretary-Generals Global Education First Initiative, launched one year ago.
"We must make an intentional and deliberate turn from past policy responses to humanitarian crises where education has typically been underfunded," said Gordon Brown, United Nations Special Envoy for Global Education. "Today, with nearly one million Syrian refugee children, we have the opportunity to take immediate action and demonstrate that we can not only prioritize but deliver on the promise of education for all - education without borders - providing hope and opportunity even in the most dire circumstances."
Attacks against schools, students and teachers are a gross violation of human rights and international humanitarian law, amounting to war crimes. Yet, schools continue to be bombed, looted and occupied, used for political purposes and inhabited by displaced families. "Were here today because education should never be a casualty of crisis or a cost of conflict," said Anthony Lake, UNICEF Executive Director. Education cannot wait for battles to end...or disasters to be averted...or funding to be available. Education cannot wait...because children cannot wait."
"Education in emergency situations is severely underfunded, accounting for merely 1.4 per cent of humanitarian aid," said Alice Albright, Chief Executive Officer of the Global Partnership for Education. "We should at least double this amount, make it more effective, and improve coordination among governments, donors and humanitarian agencies."
Quality education requires investment and planning to give children living in some of the toughest parts of the world hope and a chance to shape their futures.
Recognizing this, leaders at the Education Cannot Wait event made a united call for action including:
- More planning for emergency prevention and integration of emergency preparedness and recovery in education sector plans and national budgets
- Prioritizing education in emergencies by increasing humanitarian aid to education and improving the way its delivered on the ground
- Protection of children, teachers and education facilities from attacks
Education should not be interrupted as children who miss out on school are often unable to catch up and experience cumulative disadvantage throughout their lives.
"In emergency situations, parents and caregivers ask for education for their children; its one of the first things they talk about. They know educations value," said Lori Heninger, Director of the International Network for Education in Emergencies. If we are not providing education in emergencies, we are not being accountable to those people we are serving, those who have already lost so much."
"Education cannot and must not wait. We all have a duty to the children of the world to deliver good quality education regardless of the hostile conditions under which they live," said Tove Wang, Chief Executive Officer of Save the Children Norway.
The leaders agreed that education must play a central role in any post-2015 development plan.
"Education must be built into peace building not bolted on and it must be tied with longer-term development," said the Director-General of UNESCO, Irina Bokova. "This is essential in the push to 2015 and in the global agenda that follows."
The full list of participating organizations includes UNICEF, Save the Children, Global Partnership for Education, Office of the United Nations Special Envoy for Global Education, International Network for Education in Emergencies (INEE), Education Cluster, UNESCO, UNESCO-IIEP, Global Coalition to Protect Education from Attack, UNHCR and Plan International.

The School of Art & Design at Suffolk University has been dedicated to providing its students with excellent instruction, professional courses of study, small classes, and personalized attention for over 90 years.
We offer undergraduate and graduate degrees, continuing education courses, and high school programs. Disciplines include: Graphic Design, Interior Design, Interior Architecture, and Fine Arts.
Learn about some of our students using next-generation mixed reality technology to enhance their design projects.
Located in Boston, the school was originally founded as The New England School of Art in 1923 with a mission to prepare students for professional careers in art and design. The academic collaboration between The New England School of Art & Design and Suffolk University began in 1988 with an agreement allowing students to enroll in Suffolk courses. In 1996, the two institutions merged and the School of Art & Design became a department within the College of Arts & Sciences. Today, our students benefit from not only being part of a tight-knit community of artists and designers but also from the resources a large, urban university like Suffolk has to offer. It's a place where you can be creative but also explore your other interests. At Suffolk you can take classes in everything from Spanish to advertising, join a service organization and make a difference in the community, show off your acting chops at the Modern Theater, or go beyond our Boston campus and study abroad. With more options comes a richer educational experience and we believe being well-rounded and informed is an important part of why our graduates are so successful.
College is about those with whom you share your educational experience as much as it is about what you major in. At Suffolk you'll study with art educators who are also practicing artists and designers. What you'll learn is relevant and current, because instructors bring the experience from their studios, galleries, and firms into every class.

15in MacBook Pro gains anti-glare
Sunglasses not required
Apple has taken some of the shine off its MacBook Pro range, by offering a 15in model with an anti-glare screen.
Until now, only the 17in MacBook Pro allowed customers to opt for a matte display rather than a glossy one, but now buyers of the 15in model can get the same feature. The option isn't available for the 13in MacBook Pro.
The upgrade will cost you £40/$50 – the same as it does for the larger 17in MacBook Pro.
It's worth noting that the anti-glare screen will change the aesthetics of your chosen MacBook. The screens on the standard 15in and 17in models are borderless, but the anti-glare option means you'll have a thin bezel running all the way around the display's edge. ®

As a paleontologist who studies the evolutionary history of the
world's forests, I have always been curious about Madagascar. Its
forests are unique with more than 95 percent of its tree species
found only on the island. How did these forests evolve to be so
different than any other on Earth? Are they geologically young or
old? Are they the consequence of successive biological dispersal
events or were their ancestors stowaways when Madagascar became an
island 88 million years ago? These questions and more have
perplexed generations of botanists studying the island's living
Paleontologists are essentially time travelers, and in order to
fully understand how the Malagasy forest came to be, it is
necessary to explore the plant fossil record from when Madagascar
first became an island. Amazingly, this has never been attempted,
so I jumped when my colleague Joe Sertich offered a spot on his next
expedition to Madagascar. In this day and age, it is rare to become
the first person to explore a place and time.
I wondered why no one had ever sought a spectacular fossil plant
bed in this area, considering the potential magnitude for
scientific discovery. Turns out, it boils down to the logistics,
which are a bear in that part of the world! Three and a half days
by plane, truck, and boat to the field site, which is more than 100
miles from the nearest paved road, much less any modern amenities.
We traveled deep into the Malagasy tropical bush, where new strains
of drug-resistant malaria are cropping up-and this is just to get
to where the fossil plants might be!
Having headed into the expedition with no expectations, I came
out of it with many. We found fossil plants, the very first of
their age from Madagascar. Although it felt as if we barely
scratched the surface, we found big three-locule fruits and
delicate leaves from unknown species of flowering plants, and large
strap-like leaves and fleshy branches of unfamiliar conifers. The
fossils are in transit, and we are eagerly awaiting their arrival
so we can begin studying this heretofore "lost world." These
fossils -- plus those from future expeditions, for which planning
is already in the works -- will form a new basis for the ongoing
inquiry into the evolutionary history of Madagascar's

The Etoile project aims to produce a user environment for desktop and small form-factor devices, with tight integration between components. The 0.2 release is primarily targeted at developers interested in a GNUstep-based environment. This release includes improvements to the Camaelon theme engine, providing a clean and modern appearance to GNUstep-based applications. This is combined with the Etoile Menu Server, providing a horizontal menu bar similar to that found in Mac OS, and making this the first Etoile release with enough features in place to be usable on a daily basis."

505 expects evergreen sales for Sniper Wii U
The Wii U version of Sniper Elite V2 could prove to be an on-going seller like its 360 and PS3 forebears, says publisher 505 Games.
The game uses the Wii U GamePad to track enemy positions and set traps.
The GamePad really dials up the tactical elements of the game and makes them that much more satisfying," said senior product manager Juliette Green. We're happy, like many other publishers, to support the Wii U. Nintendo always brings something innovative to the marketplace."
Sniper Elite V2 first appeared on Xbox 360 and PS3 in April 2011 and, after a surprisingly strong launch, continued to be a regular in the charts throughout the following months.
We were delighted with it," said Green. Commercially, it was a hit with a couple of weeks at No.1. Week-on-week it continues to perform, which shows its potential as an evergreen product."
The Wii U version of Sniper Elite V2 is due for release in spring.

Who founded the Online Church of Bob?
Cowboy Bob/Robert Sorensen - the Executive Director at The Question Evolution Project.
Who appointed him?
He appointed himself.
What is the purpose of The Question Evolution Project Facebook page, the various Sorensen blog pages such as Piltdown Superman and Stormbringer's Thunder, the Sorensen You Tube channel and so forth that comprise the Online Church of Bob?
Radicalisation of hardline Christian and other fundamentalists over the issue that evolution must be questioned and outright denied at all costs.
What is the attitude of the Online Church of Bob towards outsiders ie all those (whether atheists or otherwise) who question young earth creationist claims?
The purpose of the Online Church of Bob is to antagonise and condemn such people. In most cases they are not permitted to comment at all. Should they comment negatively at the Facebook page, they will be rapidly censored if they fail to fall in line with what Mr Sorensen or other young earth creationists he approves of are insisting is true - and they are liable to be banned permanently if they persist. Because people who disagree with claims made by the Online Church of Bob are Internet Trolls by definition.
What about attempts to evangelise unsaved people who visit the Online Church of Bob using their computer?
This does not form part of the Church's activities.
Is Mr Sorensen ever wrong?
It would appear not since angry atheopaths have an unfortunate habit of accidentally proving him right. Or so he tells members of his online congregation. And as he has mentioned in an Addendum today he is "not obligated to give non-thinking haters a platform for their egos and vitriol". Take that, Troll!

What about the Bible?
The Online Church of Bob uses scriptures verses such as verses found in Romans 1 as a weapon with which to beat the unbelievers and sceptics who visit the Church's web pages. However, those sceptics or unbelievers are not permitted to do the same thing to Mr Sorensen ie if he is reminded of verses such as Revelation 21:8 he will shrug that off and carry on informing members of the Online Church of Bob that the 'liars' are the people who disagree with young earth creationism.
Is the leader of the Online Church of Bob an intellectual?
He most certainly is and he understands Logic better than You and can spot a logical fallacy made by an atheopath a mile off.
Is the Online Church of Bob doing the Will of the Lord?
Well they are certainly attracting a vast amount of criticism from many quarters. What further evidence do you need?
What about involvement in a real, local, church?
Mr Sorensen does not believe that participation in a local Christian church, including recognising the authority of an ordained or theologically trained church minister, is a priority for him. That is why he seldom if ever mentions any involvement with a local church within his blogs.

Artists that go out of their way to remind everyone how EDGY they are
In last week's NME, as an excuse to show a massive semi-nude picture of Ke$ha, they ran an article in which Ke$ha claims to have DRANK HUMAN BLOOD and PHOTOGRAPHED HERSELF PEEING and IS GOOD FRIENDS WITH WAYNE COYNE.
As much as I love Crystal Castles as well, all this HOMELESSNESS and SQUATTING and WANTING TO KILL PEOPLE starts to wear a bit thin. They must have made a bit of money.
Another Radiohead thread!
They should just sell sheet music & let people buy it & interpret the stuff themselves.
The Fiery Furnaces actually did that
So them.
Think Beethoven did it too
Total cunt
- WhiteLightWhiteCity this'd this
- poptimusgrime this'd this
- Stuzza, badmanreturns, poptimusgrime, BetterGayThanGuevara, littlebirds, LdnMetropolitanElite, theShipment, Puds, stalecloud, and gonad this'd this
Plan B
What an absolute cunt.fitzcarraldo, badmanreturns, tmbrntt, and Gorkys_Forever this'd this
also i read EDGY as an acronym in the thread title
and spent a good 5 minutes trying to figure out what the fuck it stood for
best (only) one i had was
Electronic Dance Gabba Yoof
Rufus Wainwright
come and see my opera dharling
The Big Pink?
They seem like they'd like to be perceived as edgy...
Hi I'm Dominic Masters from The Others
Did I mention that I have a transexual boyfriend. Oh and I like drugs. And hang with Pete Doherty.
Also Jason Donovan - did drugs for 6 mths. Mentioned it in interviews for 20 yrs.
The Manic Street Preachers
One of them totally wears a dress and says controversial stuff. ED to the mutha-fuckin GY
Admittedly, I am assuming they still do that stuff...
...even though they are now 56. I haven't checked, but then conversely I hate them so much I can't be bothered to let it go, even if they have now stopped that sort of thing.
was male to female. Can't remember in what stage
all I know is that it would be wheeled out every time
Surely Ke$ha is just a homeless man's Gaga?
Queen of the carefully cultivated edges.
This makes me think of a homeless collective opinion on artists
Greetings fellow homeless people, and thank you for attending this month's artist equivalence vote for those we are not worthy of. First on the agenda, a replacement for Lady Gaga in our depraved souls's affections. I open up the floor to suggestions.
I enjoyed this insight into your psyche
Keep up the good work, kid.
I find that Crystal Castles thing hilarious
They must be completely raking it in from all the festival bills they're high up on and Academys they sell out. They bang on and on like they're still playing TOTALLY PUNX HOUSE SHOWZ
Nicky Wire
recently had the tenacity to say some bollocks about new bands not being interesting or political enough. Made me pretty angry as the latest Manics offering is enough to make even the most hardened radio 2 listener fall asleep at the wheel.

Sound Advice
People who are sight challenged would naturally be an audience for an audio CAPTCHA. With this in mind, any audio CAPTCHA implementation should be constructed such that it's easy to use by people who use a screen reader.
You can test how well your audio CAPTCHA works for someone who is using a screen reader by using the "Microsoft Narrator" that comes with Windows. You turn this feature on in Windows XP by selecting Start|All Programs|Accessories|Accessibility|Narrator.
Any instructions that go with your CAPTCHA should be concise. Someone using a screen reader isn't going to want to have it reread some overly verbose instructions.
The implementation I present here can be used without employing the mouse at all. This feature is especially handy for someone using screen readers. I ask users to type a particular key to start the audio. Then once the audio has started, I move the focus to the proper text box and submit for validation upon getting the Enter key.
When implementing an audio CAPTCHA, it is still necessary to disguise the challenge in some way from robots. However, there are ways to deceive these machines that are much less intrusive and easier for a human to deal with than using pictures of distorted letters.
Some audio CAPTCHAs currently in use attempt to foil audio deciphering robots by obscuring the audio. To me, this defeats some of the purpose. Like the aforementioned swirling syllables, when you obscure audio, you make it harder for humans to understand as well as any mechanical facsimiles.
Instead of adding background noises or any similar muddiness to the sound, try adding some simple aural logic that a machine would find difficult to parse. In my implementation, I ask for four numbers. The challenge starts with a simple instruction "Please enter these four numbers...," then speaks the four random numbers (Figure 2). Available at www.ddj.com/code is a series of MP3 audio files for the numbers 0-9.
A nice addition, that should help to obscure the challenge from robots, would be to randomly include a phrase between two of the numbers like, "not 7, but instead a." So, for example, instead of hearing, "Please enter these four numbers4,3,6,2," the user hears "Please enter these four numbers4,3,6, not 7 but instead 2".
Naturally, in this example you would have to add logic to ensure that the fourth number asked for was not a 7. Other methods might include simply adding phrases like "and a," "then press Enter," and so on. The idea here is to add just enough audio to fool the robots without confusing or frustrating users.

The Art of the Steal
An eye-opening introduction to art crimes
Ever entertain ideas of participating in some multimillion-dollar art museum heist? Who hasn't? But how would one go about accomplishing such a task outside the confines of a swingin' '60s French crime film? Well, if you're curious, The Art of the Steal details exactly how that sort of crime is accomplished in the real world. Sadly, it doesn't involve leather catsuits, handheld suction cups, laser security systems, smoke grenades or sexy sidekicks. It just takes a handful of politicians, a bunch of lawyers and a whole lot of paperwork.

"Treme" on HBO
The day after its debut episode aired, HBO picked up the new series "Treme" for a second season. That should give you a decent idea of how much confidence the network has in the show. And it's not at all misplaced.

CHARLOTTESVILLE – As he cruised around Darling Stadium when his then-new employers made a visit to conduct a spring football practice in March 2011, Marques Hagans exuded confidence in his hometown, but he was still uncertain about his future.
His five-year NFL career was over, and Hagans was ready to move on to the next phase of his professional life. He just wasn't sure what that phase would entail.
"I was kind of in limbo," Hagans said.
So, when the opportunity to work at his college alma mater as a Virginia graduate assistant with Coach Mike London arose, Hagans jumped at it. It was a chance to figure out his next move while staying in the game Hagans had loved since his days as Hampton High's starting quarterback.
Somewhere along the way in the last two football seasons, coaching got in his blood. Now, he's found his career, and he's fortunate to start it in a place that needs no introduction.
"I think that's definitely a story of the stars aligning all in one place," said Hagans, who has been promoted to be U.Va.'s wide receivers coach. "I know it doesn't normally happen that way. … I've spoken to guys who have bounced around three or four or five different places to ultimately get where their dream school may be."
In many ways, the new job is ideal from a personnel standpoint. He'll get to work with experienced receivers like Tim Smith, Darius Jennings, Dominique Terrell and E.J. Scott, while developing a lot of young or unproven talent with guys like Canaan Severin, fellow Hampton alum Jamall Brown, Kyle Dockins, Mario Nixon, Bobby Smith, Adrian Gamble and Miles Gooch, plus incoming freshmen Keeon Johnson, Zack Jones and Andre Levrone.
None of the returning players will be a mystery to Hagans, considering he worked directly with the receivers as U.Va.'s graduate assistant.
Hagans said he'll base part of his coaching style on what he's learned from being around coaches like London; former Virginia coach Al Groh; U.Va. safeties coach Anthony Poindexter; U.Va. recruiting coordinator and cornerbacks coach Chip West; and 16-year NFL receiver and longtime NFL receivers coach Henry Ellard, who coached Hagans when he was with the St. Louis Rams.
"There's always ways that you can grow and develop as a coach that will help you get better," Hagans said. "I think that's kind of the stage that I'm at, and listening to different pieces of advice, but who I am to people on and off the field won't ever change. I can't change that if I wanted to, and that's one thing Coach London has been adamant about. Be yourself. Players will respect you. Players will play for you."
Of course, the pressure of having to produce as an off-campus recruiter has been added to Hagans' plate. No matter where Hagans, 30, winds up doing his recruiting, Hagans already has developed an approach to the sales aspect of the job.
"You see a lot of faces," Hagans said. "You go into a lot of schools, people remember you, and you just hope that you never rubbed anybody the wrong way and you treated people the way you wanted to be treated. In 10 years down the road, when you go into these schools and you see the principals, the teachers and the coaches, it's like, 'Oh, there's a guy that did it the right way.' Now, you have relationships built based on how you treat people. That's all you try to offer to parents."
Since Hagans is an instantly recognizable entity in Peninsula District circles, and he's young enough that players who are in high school now could remember him from his days as a Crabber, could Hagans find himself recruiting in the 757 area code? That's been West's territory, an area where he's been successful bringing in talent to Charlottesville, but he's not opposed to having Hagans join him.
"I don't have all the answers," West said. "I've been pretty successful and fortunate, but any time you can get help, you use it."
Hagans, who is also two semesters away from picking up his master's degree in professional development from U.Va., insists he isn't picky about where he's asked to recruit, but Hampton Roads will always hold a certain appeal.
"If he has the whole 757 under control, I have no problem stepping out and going wherever the staff needs me to go and recruiting there as well and establish myself wherever that may be," Hagans said. "If that's in the 757, yes, I'd be more than happy. I get to see my family when I'm down there. I get to stop by my favorite restaurant, Chic-A-Sea, and get a 'Big Chic' (sandwich) on the way in. There's a lot of positive things, but also, if it calls me to go to Tennessee or New Jersey or wherever it may be, I'll be just as comfortable there."

Kismet on Android
Requires Android 4.x for USB host, does NOT require root.
Packets are captured with userspace rtl8187 driver written in java, sent to a kismet-drone work-alike also written in java, which allows an unmodified kismet_server to read them.
Output is kluged into a textview to at least be able to see what's going on.
Currently the code doesn't channel hop, though that should be possible without too much trouble. The process.exec thread doesn't kill off kismet_server when the background service ends, there's usb init timing problems, etc, but it's a major step forwards.
Ultimately, kismet_server will be hidden completely and the Java UI will tap the kismet client protocol for a native display.
Still... progress! Code and test apk to come in the future.

Also re: a semi-common question, "what about the built-in nic"...ReplyDelete
The goal was to get Kismet running on unmodified phones, so that wasn't the focus.
If you have a rooted phone however, and can get a mac80211 driver loaded, kismet ought to run just fine - infact it should even auto-detect the mac80211 driver and go.
Right now the port isn't linked with the native capture sources or netlink libs, but those are probably all thats needed to have it work with the built-in.

can u post the steps to do it?ReplyDelete
I would be interested in a step by step guide to doing it on a rooted android device. I have a Toshiba thrive tablet and it has a REAL USB port. My atheros USB wireless card comes up in the system just fine when i look at dmesg.ReplyDelete
Is the APK available yet?ReplyDelete
Is your source code for this available anywhere, even in an unpolished form?ReplyDelete
Did you actually get kismet to run on a rooted phone or have you been concentrating on kisbee exclusively? I'd love to have a kismet (or similar capability) for use on a rooted phone.ReplyDelete
I am sorry but I am not aware of the WiFi USB device that you use for this experiment. But if you are using rtl8187 driver as you mentioned above, then I wonder if I can repeat the experiment using my NETGEAR WG111v2 since it has the same chip by RealTek whose driver is rtl8187 ?ReplyDelete
I am interested in getting packet injection working. I want to work on this. Can you give the pointers? What functions should I look at? Do you have HW spec of the 8187 chipset to better understand it?ReplyDelete
Is there an APK available? What is the Link to the APK?ReplyDelete
Fins: Should work w/ any 8187, see 'android pcap' in the marketReplyDelete
nag: Yeah, inject could be made to work, see 'android pcap' which is in the market, plus the source is published
Rattlesnake: no, I haven't gotten it working to a release satisfaction and USB host is amaingly flaky

Barcelona are sweating over the fitness of superstar Lionel Messi after he was stretchered off in the Champions League draw against Benfica on Wednesday night.
The Camp Nou held its breath as medics rushed to the 25-year-old clutching his knee on the turf late in the scoreless draw against the Portuguese side.
Many were hoping to see Messi equal or break the 40-year-old record for goals scored in a calendar year, set by legendary German striker Gerd Muller, and manager Tito Vilanova gave the Argentine 30 minutes at the end of the match.
Barcelona had already qualified as group winners for the knockout stages so Vilanova came in for some criticism after playing Messi when the match was a dead rubber.
Messi is currently just one goal behind the record of 84 and would have five games to get the two goals he needs to break it, if the injury he suffered is not too serious.
Barcelona captain Carles Puyol appeared worried but hopeful when speaking after the game, indicating how crucial Messi is the Catalan club's game by confirming his health is the biggest concern for all at Camp Nou for the moment.
"Lionel Messi is undergoing some tests, but hopefully it is not anything [serious]," he said.
"Clearly this is the worst news of the night and hopefully he will be back with us at 100 per cent."
Vilanova defended the decision to field the Barça legend, claiming the half an hour he was supposed to have was part of a fitness plan and that an injury could occur any day in training.
"Messi playing 30 minutes was talked through, it was part of his physical training programme," said the manager.
"You can also get injured in training. I gave him the last 30 minutes because it was a good workout and he loves competing. I would do it again."
Their next La Liga fixture in on Sunday away to Real Betis and Messi will not know if he can play until result s from further tests by Barcelona medical staff.
Vilanova, however, was confident the knock was just bruising and nothing serious after an initial assessment from the team doctor.
"Messi was a bit worried, which is normal when you don't know what it is. After the first tests by the doctors, he was calm," he added.
