text: The publisher of the uTorrent file-sharing program has admitted to suffering a major security breach that allowed attackers to substitute downloads of its client for malware pushing fake antivirus software.Anyone who downloaded its uTorrent program between 4.20am Pacific time (12.20pm BST) and just after 6am on 13 September will have been downloading the Security Shield scareware program, which pesters the user to pay for protection against non-existent threats it claims to have detected.Originally, the company believed that both BitTorrent and the cut-down uTorrent clients had been affected, but a later clarification said that the former was not now thought to be involved."Clarification: This only affects users who downloaded software specifically from utorrent.com between the hours above this morning. Users who previously downloaded our software are not affected," said a company blog."After further analysis, we don't believe BitTorrent.com or the BitTorrent Mainline\/Chrysalis clients were part of the incident."Not everyone is totally convinced by this statement, starting with said Paul Ducklin of Sophos.."Confusingly, the BitTorrent blog has recently been updated to claim that the software available from the www.bittorrent.com URI was not affected, implying that only those who downloaded UTorrent during the infection window would be at risk," he wrote in a comment article."Since the two sites share the same network infrastructure - both resolve to the same IP number in Limelight Networks' cloud - you might want to ignore that blog update and assume that any recent downloads from Bittorrent Inc. were dodgy and give yourself a thorough anti-malware checkover," said Ducklin.Although the fake antivirus concerned should be relatively easy to block for an up-to-date antivirus program, users might be tempted to ignore warnings as false positives. Once installed, it is also possible that the Trojan could call further malware.The company hasn't said how its security was breached, merely that one of its web servers was involved.The involvement of BitTorrent is ironic given that the network itself has in the past been used to distribute malware, usually in the form of programs masquerading as genuine but pirated software.

Medievalists and non-medievalists alike have been reacting strongly and with passion to the revelation via social media (Twitter and FB) that a senior scholar whose work is highly regarded maintains a website full of anti-feminist vitriol and appallingly misogynist assertions. You can read the website yourself by following this link (I have used the Do Not Link version, so that it will not increase traffic to the website).
What is written on these webpages is appalling. My initial reaction was this declaration on Twitter, but that was not enough. On Facebook I wrote:
"Let's call it the femfog for short, the sour mix of victimization and privilege that makes up modern feminism and that feminists use to intimidate and exploit men ... I refer to men who are shrouded in this fog as FUMs, fogged up men. I think they are also fucked up, but let's settle for the more analytical term. These may might not be feminists but as they wander through the mist of politics and polemic about women, they feel like they should be feminists. They think feminism is good for everybody and they want to be nice to women ... My aim in this RP essay is to help you clear the fog of feminist propaganda. Grab your balls (GYB) and be the man you want to be."
Yes, these words come from medievalist Allen J. Frantzen, who now seems to have reinvented himself as an enthusiastic trafficker in misogyny. Maybe it's the femfog I'm shrouded in speaking, but the problem is not feminism (of which we have far too little, rather than too much). The problem is people like Frantzen, who in the guise of reason market hatred. I'm appalled by what he has written.
As to a "the sour mix of victimization and privilege": physician, heal thyself.But that still was not enough. Many people were surprised that Frantzen would say such things, and some asked if he is ill, or told stories of him being nice to them. Others pointed out that such feelings were continuous with behaviors they had observed or been at the receiving end of.
I suppose I can kind of get the surprise. In 1994 Frantzen called out J. R. Hall for having used the description "fem-fog" to dismiss the scholarship of Gillian Overing, and now here he was using the same term to dismiss all women living and dead. Many of us are great admirers of his book Desire for Origins, and it is tough to have rethink that relation now in light of his enthusiastic misogyny.
Even as I write an email arrived telling me that I am being "extremely unprofessional" for condemning this writing. I actually think, though, that it is my obligation to condemn publicly misogyny and other forms forms of hate from any scholar in my field. Here's what I wrote on Facebook, and I share it here because I don't want it only in that small media circle. I believe this. I try to live it.

Migration's Unrealized Potential: The Report of the Global Commission on International Migration
In less than 22 months and in less than 90 pages, the Global Commission on International Migration (GCIM) delivered last month a comprehensive overview of international migration issues, accompanied by a set of six principles for action and 33 recommendations.
GCIM, with a life span of two years that ends in December 2005, is an independent body based in Switzerland and backed by 32 governments and the European Union. Kofi Annan, Secretary-General of the United Nations (UN), called for GCIM's formation in December 2003. Its 19 Commissioners, drawn from all parts of the world and many walks of life (see sidebar), came to conclusions that reflect the complexity and difficulty of their subject.
But the overarching conclusion in the report was that "the international community has failed to capitalize on the opportunities and to meet the challenges associated with international migration."
The Commission's report pointed to the need for policy coherence at the national and international levels. It highlighted the competing and often contradictory pressures that shape migration policies — for example, the need in some countries for more immigration to reinforce national competitiveness while these same countries have placed greater restrictions on immigrants for security reasons.
The report drew attention to the lack of capacity for robust migration policymaking in many governments and regional bodies, and it stressed the importance of international cooperation in building stronger capabilities. While recognizing that no single model can work across the globe, it optimistically proposed a universal framework for policymaking.
It is probably too early to expect a definitive statement on international migration. The last 10 years have been a time of great ferment, experimentation, knowledge-building, information-sharing, and creative thinking that have come from many different directions — and these processes continue unabated. Some of the new exploration has simply revealed the depth of our ignorance about migration processes and outcomes.
The Global Commission, perhaps wisely, did not try to pronounce the last word on migration, especially on the very controversial issue of how migration should — or should not — be governed at the global, institutional level. But it did stimulate the debate.
Members of the Global Commission on International Migration (GCIM)
Migration and the International Agenda
Secretary-General Annan asked for the creation of this Commission because the United Nations was uncertain about how to come to grips with international migration. He recognized international migration as a transcendent aspect of globalization that the UN system must address in concrete ways if it is to remain relevant.
International migration touches the mandates of virtually every multilateral institution — those dealing with health, trade, humanitarian response, human rights, development, the well-being of children, and on down the list. Some of them have begun to take the issue seriously. The Inter-American Development Bank, the World Bank, and the World Trade Organization, for example, have variously developed programs of action, research, or negotiations that deal with the impact of remittances, brain drain, and the international movement of workers. The International Organization for Migration, which was founded in 1951 and operates outside the UN system, has added member states and programs in recent years.
Global institutions' interest in migration has bubbled up, in most cases belatedly, from local, national, and regional concerns. The GCIM held five hearings — in the Asia-Pacific region, the Mediterranean and the Middle East, Europe, Africa, and the Americas — to develop an understanding of regional variations of migration patterns. The Commissioners also interacted broadly with civil society groups, commissioned expert papers (including one by this author), and invited migration researchers from all over the world to contribute their findings.
GCIM's Mandates and Their Outcomes
The Commission started with a three-fold mandate. The first one was easy: to put international migration on the global agenda. It was already firmly there by the time the Commission started its work, but its meetings across the globe, the papers on various topics, and the 2005 report have added substantively to the discussion.
The huge and indigestible second part of the mandate tasked the Commission with "analyzing gaps in current policy approaches to migration and examining inter-linkages with other issue areas."
The Commission could have ignored this sweeping instruction — nearly impossible, given the time frame — and focused on a small number of ideas. By dutifully honoring their mandate, the Commissioners said something about almost everything (although oddly little about family reunification, which is the dynamic that brings the most migrants to most industrialized countries) but were forced to remain at a high level of generality.
For example, few would argue with the recommendation that "Greater efforts should be made to create jobs and sustainable livelihoods in developing countries, so that the citizens of such states do not feel compelled to migrate." Yet it is far from clear how policies to bring about that outcome can be successfully implemented in many developing countries.
The report notes that the Commission became "acutely aware of the many regional and sub-regional differences that exist in relation to international migration, as well as the constraints that such differences place on the formulation of international migration policies." That piece of wisdom shows the difficulty of the global approach the Commission was asked to take.
The third part of the Commission's mandate was to present recommendations to the United Nations Secretary-General and other stakeholders for strengthening governance in international migration.
Four of the Commission's six governance recommendations deal with national and regional processes. The fourth recommendation calls for greater dialogue among governments in multilateral settings, and only the sixth and last one is truly addressed to the Secretary-General. It calls on him to convene a group to pave the way for a UN coordinating body to bring greater coherence to the organizations involved in various aspects of international migration.
Criticisms of the GCIM Report
The report was immediately criticized, and undoubtedly will be faulted going forward, for not being more definitive about the institutional architecture for global-level governance of international migration.
One article in the Financial Times of October 6, 2005 criticized it for not calling strongly for a World Migration Organization while another article in the same edition criticized it for spending too much time considering that option.
The Commission saw logic in bringing together the migration-related functions of UN and other multilateral agencies into a single body but acknowledged that no international consensus to create new institutions currently exists. Rather wearily, it expressed the hope that its report will stimulate new debate by states and other actors in the years to come.
What Happens Next?
The track record of UN coordinating bodies is not inspiring. The danger in this instance, however, is not so much lack of cooperation from the agencies but, more seriously, the fact that no agency is doing optimal work on international migration at the present time (although some are farther along than others).
The need continues for more and better experimentation, data gathering, monitoring, and keen observation to develop a sense of what is working in migration policy at any level; what of that is specific to a particular time, place, and set of historical or geographical relationships; and what might be generalized and taken to a larger scale.
The Commission proposes that the UN prepare the way for a Global Migration Facility that would coordinate and harmonize the efforts of international institutions that deal with migration. It points to the benefits of greater efficiency, policy consistency, and sharing of expertise that could result but says little about the form and function of such a facility.
The Global Migration Facility, or some variant of it, will only earn a place at the table where states make migration policies if it can solve problems for them and for the international institutions that participate in making migration policy.
The European Coal and Steel Community of the 1950s evolved into the supranational European Union of the 21st century in precisely that way: by solving problems, developing competence, and earning confidence. Eventually, EU Member States agreed to give the European Union the power to initiate legislation and implement policy.
The UN offers several types of cooperative mechanisms that might be explored for their usefulness in migration: UNAIDS, the UN Fund for Population Activities, or the Global Environment Facility (housed at the World Bank). Participation in all of them is voluntary, and they focus on pragmatic goals.
GCIM has developed a broad framework of principles for migration policy and some specific recommendations for action. It is clear that its report marks the beginning rather than the end of a discussion, and that it is up to the full range of stakeholders to join in devising a strategy to move it forward.

The public is being urged to help police piece together the Manchester bomber's final movements as his cousins claimed he plotted "secretly to himself".
New CCTV images have been released showing Salman Abedi moving about the city's streets and hauling a blue suitcase in the days leading up to the Manchester Arena terror attack which killed 22 people.
The developments came as "unscrupulous" ticket touts attempted to profit from Ariana Grande's One Love Manchester gig to raise money for the victims.
Detective Chief Superintendent Russ Jackson, head of the North West Counter Terrorism Unit, said "significant progress" was being made in the investigation, but added that police were still trying to establish why Abedi went to the Banff Road area in Rusholme.
Meanwhile, following claims that warnings about Abedi were not followed up, officers have been unable to find any records of calls to the police anti-terrorist hotline regarding the 22-year-old before the events of May 22.
Brothers Isaac and Abz Forjani, who were arrested by armed police soon after the attack before being released without charge, said they had been left "traumatised" by their cousin's actions.
Abz, 21, told the BBC: "For people who have seen it as a big network we were involved in, it was nothing like that.
"I believe it was all done by one man which developed some sort of thoughts in the past few years which he kept secretly to himself.
"He never shared it with any members of the family - if he would have we could have done something to stop that happening."
Isaac, 24, added: "It's not easy being connected to 22 lost, innocent lives.
"The fact that the person that did this is related to us by blood is something that's going to stay with me for the rest of my life.
"My thoughts are with the families of the victims. I really do feel for them."
They said they last saw Abedi three months before the attack at the younger brother's barber shop.
Overnight, tickets for the upcoming benefit gig appeared for auction online at several times their face value.
One eBay seller was looking to offload four tickets to the gig for £1,250 - which would net a potential profit of nearly £1,100 - but the listing was taken down shortly after being seen by the Press Association.
Official seller Ticketmaster also said more than 25,000 people had applied for free tickets set aside for the 14,200 people who attended the pop star's targeted gig last week, meaning more than 10,000 were "unscrupulous applications".
The police have made Abedi's preparations for the attack the focus of their investigation and, speaking about the new CCTV images, Mr Jackson said: "We are still working to track the movements of Salman Abedi and have already released a number of images of him, in the hope that they will jog people's memories.
"We know that Abedi left the country on April 15 and arrived back on May 18 and we now know from our inquiries that he purchased parts for the bomb after arriving back.
"What we still need to understand is if he had any of the bomb parts in his possession before he went out of the country, this is why we are tracking his movements so carefully."
Mr Jackson said officers had been conducting house-to-house inquiries in the Banff Road area in Rusholme but were "still not satisfied" why Abedi went there and said it was "vital" they understood exactly where he went and who he spoke to in the final days before the attack.
He added: "Did you see Abedi in the Rusholme area between 18 and 22 May? Do you have any information about his movements on these dates?
"You may think it's insignificant, but it could be a key piece of information to assist us. We need your help as we piece together what happened in the lead-up to the attack and if Abedi was helped by anyone."
Ten men, aged between 18 and 44, remain in custody on suspicion of offences contrary to the Terrorism Act, Greater Manchester Police said.
Six people - including a 15-year-old boy, a 34-year-old woman and four men - have been released without charge after being arrested by officers investigating the attack.
Earlier this week, police released further details about Abedi, including that he had bought most of the key component parts of the suicide bomb in the few days before the attack.
Many of his movements and actions in the four days after his return to the UK from Libya leading up to the May 22 atrocity were also carried out alone but detectives have not ruled out that he was part of "a wider network".
Meanwhile, about 600 stewards will be on duty at Sunday's benefit concert, according to Greater Manchester's police chief, who said security on leaving music events and football matches would have to be reviewed.

While election season may seem especially surreal this time around — or maybe it just seems that way every four years — nowhere is it stranger than in the weird parallel dimension known as our college campuses.
Every presidential election that I've experienced since I've been president of the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education (FIRE) has without exception been marred by some ridiculous attempt by university lawyers and administrators to limit political debate and discussion. While some of the censorship clearly arises from a stunning lack of understanding of basic principles of law, others seem to come down to "I believe in free speech … but not when you support the other guy."
A case arising out of Auburn University in Alabama during the Republican primary season typifies the type of insanity we get to see on a quadrennial basis:
Auburn student Eric Philips made the mistake of hanging a Ron Paul poster in his window, just as he'd seen students do in support of President Obama and other causes throughout his time at Auburn. Within three hours he was told he needed to take it down. Auburn, recycling a claim that FIRE has gotten so used to seeing that we considered putting it on a company T-shirt, argued that the University was simply enforcing a "safety" policy that it had always had against window hangings.
Here's a free tip to universities: If you're going to claim a safety rationale for censorship, you'd better not leave evidence lying around that shows that you don't really think safety is an issue. All Philips had to do to disprove Auburn's safety claims was walk around campus taking pictures of window hangings left up after he received his speech-code surprise. It wasn't hard to demonstrate that he had been singled out.
Thankfully, there is good news in the story. According to Philips, the media really understood that a college campus should be a "marketplace of ideas," encouraging political engagement and disagreement, and getting out of the way of students wishing to advocate for whichever candidate they so choose. The case was covered by local media, John Stossel (who is almost alone among TV journalists in taking issues of campus free speech seriously), and, of course, The Daily Caller. As Philips points out, Auburn learned one of the great truths about censorship: If you try to suppress an idea in a free society, you often actually end up magnifying the message you seek to suppress.
The bad news, however, and as I discuss at some length in my new book Unlearning Liberty: Campus Censorship and the End of American Debate, is that the entire Auburn University community should have been even more outraged than the media. Here was a student being told he couldn't support the candidate he wanted in a way that students have supported their candidates on that campus and campuses around the country for decades.
Even if this rule was enforced fairly (and to be clear, it wasn't), students of a previous generation would have organized protests, marches, and maybe even held a candlelight vigil or two to reject the muzzling of their basic political speech in an environment that should be doing everything in its power to encourage the open exchange of ideas.
The problem is that students, educated on campuses that over-regulate and apply double standards to speech, have simply gotten used to it. The process of "unlearning liberty," which the title of my book refers to, has many stages, but the first is simply misinforming students about the rights they have and the importance of those rights. The most dangerous stages, however, come later, when some students come to believe that not only should they not have those rights, but that censorship is what good and noble people do.
While this case is just a typical example of censorship on campus, the fact that repression of speech has become the new normal in higher education is going to have negative repercussions for all of our freedoms down the road. After all, as FIRE co-founder Alan Charles Kors says, "a nation that does not educate in liberty will not long endure liberty and will not even know when it is lost."
Greg Lukianoff is an attorney and the president of the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education.

1 Under what circumstances may a parent lawfully remove the child to another state without the other parent's consent?
The law of England and Wales makes provision for the lawful removal of the child from the UK. A child arrangements order is an order from the court determining with whom a child should live or spend time. Section 13(2) of the Children Act 1989 allows a person with a child arrangements order (formerly known as both residence and contact orders) concerning the child to remove the child from the UK for a period of less than one month (for example for a holiday).
This is consistent with section 1(4) of the Child Abduction Act 1984 which provides that a person does not commit an offence by taking or sending the child out of the UK if they are a person in whose favour there is a child arrangements order in force and the removal is for less than a month.
Where there is no child arrangements order in force, a parent with sole parental responsibility can lawfully remove a child from the UK without permission from the other parent. However, the other parent who does not have parental responsibility may prevent the removal of a child from the jurisdiction by applying to the courts in England and Wales for a prohibited steps order. They may also apply to the courts for a court order relating to parental responsibility. "Parental responsibility" is defined in section 3(1) of the Children Act 1989.
2 Under what circumstances is the other parent's consent necessary for the child's removal to another state?
Section 13 of the Children Act 1989 requires that where a child arrangements order is in force with respect to a child, no one may remove the child from the UK without the written consent of every person who has parental responsibility for the child, or the permission of the court.
Furthermore, section 1 of the Child Abduction Act 1984 provides that a parent (and specified other people which includes a person who is a guardian of the child, a person in whose favour a child arrangements order is in force with respect to the child or a person with whom the child lives) commits an offence (abduction of a child) if he or she takes or sends a child outside of the UK without the appropriate consent (which means the consent of the child's mother and the child's father if he has parental responsibility – or consent of specified other people referred to above).
Where there is no child arrangements order in place but more than one person has parental responsibility for the child, no person with parental responsibility for that child is allowed to remove the child from the UK without the consent of the other holders of parental responsibility or the permission of the court.
3 If the other parent does not consent to the child's removal to another state, though it is necessary, how can the child be removed lawfully to another state?
A parent with a child arrangements order concerning the child and who is seeking to remove the child permanently from the UK can lawfully relocate with the child without the intervention of the court if they have the written consent of the other parent with parental responsibility or anyone else with parental responsibility. If consent is refused, an application to the court will need to be made for permission to remove the child from England and Wales on a permanent basis (section 13(1) of the Children Act 1989).
If there is no child arrangements order in place, a person who has parental responsibility for the child and who is seeking to remove the child permanently from the UK must apply to the court for permission if consent from anyone else with parental responsibility is refused.
In England and Wales the paramount consideration and determining factor in international relocation cases will always be the welfare of the child. Judges sitting in the Family Courts will take into account all the information available to them in each case before arriving at an independent judgment. They will seek first and foremost to make decisions that are in the best interests of the child concerned.The child's welfare will always be the court's paramount consideration in determining such cases. The Children Act 1989 provides statutory protection to safeguard the welfare of children in cases of relocation from England and Wales.
4 Do the same rules apply to temporary removal (e.g. holiday, healthcare etc.) and permanent removal? If applicable, please provide relevant consent forms.
The response to question 1 above sets out the provisions for lawful removal of a child from the UK for a period of less than one month. A person with a child arrangements order in favour of the child can take the child abroad for less than one month and will therefore not need the permission of the other parent to take the child on holiday.

Ohio gas prices continue to drop after holiday; state average remains below national number
Ohio gas prices have gone down again and remain below the national average.
The average price for a gallon of regular gas was $$3.56 in Monday's survey from auto club AAA, the Oil Price Information Service and WEX Inc. That's 7 cents cheaper than a week ago, but it's also notably higher than the average of about $$3.38 per gallon at this time last year.
Monday's national average was higher than the state average at about $3.66 per gallon, down 2 cents from a week ago.
As the week opened, oil fell below $104 per barrel as expectations of increased supply offset strong U.S. job growth.

On the of latest edition, (telecast a few hours ago, on the evening of the 15th of January, 2013) of 'The Buck Stops Here', (a flagship news show on NDTV anchored by Barkha Dutt) – 'India-Pakistan:Another Tipping Point', Admiral (Retd.) Ramdas, former chief of the Indian Navy said he knew that Indian forces have beheaded Pakistani soldiers in the past. Gen. (Retd.) V.P. Malik, former chief of the Indian Army contradicted him, and said this had never happened. Barkha Dutt was silent on this matter.
Below is a summary of some highlights of the discussion.
Around 21:15 minutes into the programme, Admiral Ramdas says, "Beheading of Troops has been going on from both sides has been for some time, I mean there is evidence of this…"
Barkha Dutt, eager to change the subject, nervously interjects and says 'I want you to comment, Sir, on Sporting and Cultural ties, because that is what has been hit today…'. Why is she so anxious to change the subject? Is it because Admiral Ramdas is clearly speaking about something she personally does not want spoken about?
Then, a little later, Ms. Dutt asks Gen. Malik to speak, she also asks him to talk whether 'Sporting and Cultural Ties should become the fall-guy'.
Gen. V.P. Malik says (around 24:40 minutes into the program), "…And I don't agree with Admiral (Ram) Das that both sides have been doing this, I would like to see anybody give me one instance where this kind of inhuman act has been done by the Indian army… I know that with great respect, we not only buried their bodies with great respect…we returned any body that they asked for."
Barkha Dutt knows what Admiral Ramdas was talking about. As has been pointed out before on Kafila, she has written about it (the decapitation of Pakistani soldiers by the Indian army during the Kargil conflict in the summer of 1999) herself in Himal magazine (June, 2001).
I had to look three times to make sure I was seeing right. Balanced on one knee, in a tiny alley behind the army's administrative offices, I was peering through a hole in a corrugated tin sheet. At first glance, all I could see were some leaves. I looked harder and amidst all the green, there was a hint of black—it looked like a moustache. "Look again," said the army colonel, in a tone that betrayed suppressed excitement. This time, I finally saw.
It was a head, the disembodied face of a slain soldier nailed onto a tree. "The boys got it as a gift for the brigade," said the colonel, softly, but proudly. [Archived at The Hoot]
So that is an instance where 'this kind of inhuman act' did happen. So why did she not say so to Gen. Malik. She is not 'anybody', she was there, and this is an issue that is being discussed on a show that she is anchoring. How long can it be before she gets called out for the gross irresponsibility of her reticence on this very crucial matter. Was she lying in 2001, or, is she concealing the truth now?
But the buck, doesn't stop here.
Then, a BJP Politician and spokesman for his party, Ravi Shankar Prasad is asked by Barkha Dutt about the NDA's record on India-Pakistan relations. She mentions Vajpayee as the architect of the India Pakistan Peace Process , Kargil, Parliament Attack, Hijacking of IC 814, Historic Ceasefire of 2003 etc.
Ravi Shankar Prasad begins, not by immediately addressing Barkha Dutt's question, but by contradicting Admiral Ramdas. Around 26:39 minutes into the program, Ravi Shankar Prasad says – "…Mr. Ramdas has been a distinguished Naval chief, but for him to make a comment that even Indian forces have been beheading, I am happy Gen. Malik contradicted him very conclusively, Admiral Ramdas you need to understand that Pakistani people will lap up your comment, and seek to condemn Indian army in no uncertain terms, I am seeing that happening, for heavens sake don't make these sweeping comments."
"Don't call on Heaven, Mr. Prasad" (Admiral Ramdas says, attempting to interject) but Barkha Dutt doesn't let him speak. Once again, she does not contradict, question or challenge Ravi Shankar Prasad. Her evasion in this matter, at this point, when it has popped up on her program for the third time now, is a truly sweeping statement.
Then, Barkha Dutt moves on to Congress spokesman, Avishek Manu Singhvi, and other matters, and other panelists, Ashutosh Varshney and Leela Ponnappa, the question that Admiral Ramdas raised is forgotten, but it lingers, silent, and sullen, like the ghost of a beheaded soldier in the studio.
At the end of the programme, Shahvar Ali Khan, a musician from Lahore, Pakistan says "All the peace loving people of Pakistan are with the grief of the people of India." He hopes that the present situation will not affect cultural and social ties.
Ravi Shankar Prasad says that he loves Pakistani Ghazal songs, but says artists, sportsmen and people who want peace are "fringe players".
Then, Barkha Dutt asks Admiral Ramdas for a comment. He says, "If for so many years things have gone wrong, the fault lies not with sportsmen and artists, why punish them for what why have not done?"
Who makes the constituency of peace a fringe, and who makes the dogs of war, the people Shahvar Ali Khan calls the 'hate-mongers', on either side of the LOC, occupy the centre-stage, again and again?
If an important television journalist like Barkha Dutt talks about the fact that both armies have committed acts of savagery, which, I repeat, she says she knows, because she has said that she has seen this with her own eyes, it will weaken the dogs of war. This admission, coming from a public figure like her, will make it more difficult for the war-party on either side of the LOC to point their fingers only at people across the border.
Nothing can strengthen the constituency of peace more at this crucial juncture, than a little honest and public introspection, on both sides. Let us hope that will occur. Barkha Dutt can set the ball rolling, if she chooses to. The buck, starts with her.

Categories 31 Days of Horror V
There's enough deadwood in this vicinity to get a fire going.
Rarely have I come across a line of dialogue that so perfectly captures the essence of a film. Uttered by a survivor of a mid-Atlantic ocean liner disaster, the line epitomizes both the prevalence of verbose commentary and incessant stating of the obvious that are rampant throughout this picture. Time and time again we are offered extensive lines of dialogue that most normal human beings never deem pertinent to verbalize. That the filmmakers felt it necessary to cut away from a perfectly understandable wide shot of the group gathering firewood to offer us a close-up to relay this vital bit of information is all the evidence needed that the powers that be here don't quite have a grasp of the subtleties of storytelling.
And yet, despite the fact that the players here are themselves little more than deadwood, they ultimately prove serviceable kindling for this film's undeniable spark of genius, allowing that spark to grow into a conflagration of low-grade-horror ecstasy. Take the following example: after a long day of picking berries, the gang gathers round a roaring fire for some inane socializing. One particularly interesting conversation involves a young lady and one of the crewmembers of the ill-fated cruise ship. During a quite moment, she remarks, "I bet you've seen a lot of places working on a ship." To which he replies, "Yep, I've seen a lot of places." In short, these folks are dullards. But perfect fodder for whatever strange beings may inhabit this deserted island. Like Beast Creatures.
Now, I don't know about most moviegoers out there, but before screening this film, if I were to envision a Beast Creature, I would have pictured a massive, hulking brute, covered with hair, and capable of tearing a man limb from limb. And it's certainly possible that when this film was initially conceived, the titular monsters fit that bill. (The wonderful cover art, particularly the humongous Beast Creature head floating in the sky, hints at this possibility.) But when the fire dies down and the group settles in for a night under the stars, we meet the actual creatures—miniature monkey-piranhas with glow-in-the-dark eyes and lustrous, flowing hair; who appear to be made out of clay; who hiss like cats with laryngitis; and who collectively constitute one of the most wonderful movie monsters I've ever seen.
Capable of attacking both day and night, en masse or solo, and so nimble as to avoid any but the most precisely aimed countermeasures, the Beast Creatures hide in trees, bushes, and grasses, lurking unseen until an unwary castaway reaches to pick a berry, and then…neck bite! And should anyone try to snatch them up and dash their tiny brains out, they'll scamper away in a flash, their diminutive arms pumping, their hair blowing in the breeze. But not to worry; once the protective cover of night returns, a constellation of their eerie eyes will once again blaze forth from the darkness, and our wary heroes will once again huddle in fear, listening to the dreaded wail of the Beast Creatures, and bracing themselves for the next bite.
Despite the film's appallingly low budget, and inexplicable need to show us every dull moment of the group's unending trek across the island, Attack of the Beast Creatures is a film that I now prize above nearly all others in my VHS collection. Part of has to do with the unparalleled glories of reveling in each and every Beast Creature attack—adult actors frantically wrestling with pint-sized puppets, feigning pure terror all the while. (Any time the Beast Creatures are on screen, actually, be they attacking or not, I'm happy.) And part of it has to do with the many moments of inexplicable and illogical dialogue, such as when the group learns that one of their comrades was, and I quote, "picked clean to the bone." After a short pause, one of the survivors asks the question on everyone's minds: "In such a short period of time?" As if the concern lay not in the fact that a man was skeletonized, but that it happened so quickly.
But over and above any outright horror elements or laughable exchanges exists an indefinable aura of moviemaking joy, an enthusiasm that can only truly be known by the folks who dared to set out into the woods with a bunch of hairy puppets and a troupe of terrible actors and make a movie. The chance to share in such joy, if only for a short time, is the unique gift offered by movies like Attack of the Beast Creatures, and the reason to keep slogging through endless hours of unremarkable horror cinema. You never know when you'll stumble upon magic.

- If you choose to become more than a customer and become a Partner who shares Juice Plus+ with others, you will need to provide additional personal information to us such as your Social Security and/or Tax ID number.

- If you purchase our products online, we need your name, mailing address, and credit card or bank account information in order to fulfill your order. We also request an email address and/or telephone number in order to contact you about your order. Any time we ask for a credit card or bank account number, however, we always transmit that payment information in an encrypted format, which keeps it from being understood by unauthorized people.

Every year over 100,000 American horses are transported to Canada and Mexico to be slaughtered and their meat shipped to Europe for human consumption. Horse meat is considered a delicacy in Europe costing around $20. per pound.
The horses from America (Canada & Mexico) that are slaughtered for food are race horses, show horses, trail horses, companions and pets. Horse meat in America is considered taboo. Horses are mostly considered pets in America thus the taboo for eating its meat.
For decades Americans have tried to pass laws prohibiting the slaughter of horses for human consumption because of the extreme cruelty to the horse. However there is more involved than just the cruelty to the horse, now more are focusing on the cruelty to the people that eat it.
There are reasons you might consider selling meat from race horses, show horses and pets as cruelty to the humans that eat it. This is because most everyone in the horse meat industry is well aware of the fact that the horses being slaughtered have unknown histories. Most of the horses purchased for slaughter are sold at public auctions to the highest bidder. There is now a document for Canadaand Mexico that requires owners to disclose medications that are banned for horses intended for food but this does not mean that all of the information will be accurate. The typical American horse owner does not view their horse as a food animal.
Even though Canada and Mexico implemented policy to comply with the European Union requirements, there is contention that the policy is doing little or nothing to insure the horses that are being slaughtered today are not contaminated with prohibited drugs.
This website is for informational purposes and to make public Information available concerning horse slaughter and horse meat.

The Florida Highway Patrol says a driver hit four people walking along a southwest Florida road, killing two of them.
Fifty-four-year-old Gregory Tocci also died after his car struck a concrete power pole Monday night.
Two pedestrians, 62-year-old William R. Fadely and 73-year-old James Amos, were taken to the hospital. Troopers say Amos was in serious condition and Fadely was in critical condition. Two others - 60-year-old Allen Wilson and 62-year-old Holly S. Fadely - died.
Investigators say Tocci's car veered onto the shoulder of the road as it approached the pedestrians.
No further details were immediately available.

I'm a bit late on this one (I don't know how I managed to miss it since I had to put the data together) but National Geographic and Conservation International had a Great Turtle Race with a bunch of leatherback turtles tagged by my old adviser. They took data from turtle tracked from Nova Scotia to South America and had a big two-week event watching which turtle reached the Caribbean first. They have a pretty cool animation of the satellite tracking (although of course not quite as good as mine) and some cute leatherback artwork (complete with leathery back instead of shell, although why are they green?).
That site also has the first leatherback game I've ever seen. The artist did a really good job since the view is pretty much identical to the view we get from a shoulder mounted turtleCam. Unfortunately, the game turtle handles like a tank which really doesn't do justice to the maneuvering ability of leatherbacks. They're huge animals but in the water they're really quite graceful and they can turn on a dime (as I quickly found out when we were trying to catch them).
Anyway, it looks like the turtle named Backspacer (it's weird to see all the interesting names since we always call the turtles by their tag ID number), sponsored by Pearl Jam, yes that Pearl Jam, won the race. Turtle Cali won the diving portion of the race and received an Iron Turtle Award. Here's a nice post-race summary and also Olympic swimmer (and turtle coach) Jason Lezak's take on it. It's great to see so much public interest in leatherback turtle tracking and National Geographic and Conservation International did a great job promoting and running the event.

WaitingForFriday's [Simon Inns] is quite possibly the USB interface and PIC master. This week he let us know about his VU-meter repurposed as a computer performance monitor using a PIC18F2550 and his open source USB Generic HID communication class. With PWM the meter's needles and RGB LED can be accurately set and even dampened for CPU usage, network usage, HDD utilization, and even memory usage. Oddly enough, in his software we didn't find the ability to use the device as a VU-meter – go figure.
USB VU-meter
14 thoughts on "USB VU-meter"
PIC + analog meters. Very cool.
I've wanted to build a meter set like this for my server that monitors upstream/downstream data, only my panel meters are from 1920 and about 8″ in dia (from an old kiln motor gen set)
I realy like this, from repurposing to programming, thumbs up.
very well done.
Pure briliance. Be nice to use the meter light too.
cool. i want one :)
Awesome project, and a few other projects on his site, too. I'll be doing some reading tonight when I get more time. :)
A BOM (Bill Of Materials) listing what non-schematic components he used (VU Meter, enclosure, specific model of LED) would be helpful in duplicating this cool project.
I'll have to see if my PIC Programmer setup can handle a PIC18F2550.
"The PCB is designed to fit inside a Velleman G738 enclosure which I cut down a little to make it shorter."
–oopsie! :)
@Dosbomber – I specifically designed it to work with a wide-range of meters hence the pots on the board which allow you to adjust the full-deflection power. Also there are instructions on the website on how to alter the RGB colour blending scales. However here are the links to the components I used (sites are Swedish, but the info is in English):
VU Meter:
Hope this helps (and for any other questions, feel free to use my website forum)
quite possibly the worst music for a video, but yes, very neat. I like the speedometer one better though.
This is great. I have been pondering a display for CPU temps and load as well as fan speeds and water temps with switchable auto and manual fan speed control. This and the other projects on the site have given me a lot of information and inspiration. Sometimes the Internets seem to be conspiring against my laziness. Thanks, Simon!
Very very nice job :D
I did something similar ages back with an old mA meter in parallel with my HDD LED so it wiggled with drive access. Had to mess with resistors to not peg the meter but to also not sit up at some current too. I may have ended up wiring it series it with the LED to get it going down to zero – cant recall, was ages ago.
I wish I had the skills at the time to pull off even 1/10th of this because its so damn cool.
isn't there a way to use your USB port to generate a pwm signal related to your cpu load, and use that signal to power the VU-meter?

Living Office
Place can be a powerful tool for achieving your goals.
Each organisation and its people are different, yet many offices today look and feel the same. Herman Miller uses a proprietary research-based Living Office Discovery Process to help you envision an office that better reflects who you are and provides greater support for what you do.
Designing for human experience
Living Office provides an updated understanding of people and their work, founded on elements that are naturally human—how we experience the world and what motivates us. Informed by this understanding, Living Office offers considerations for the arrangement of surroundings, furnishings, and tools to meet the needs of people and deliver an elevated experience of work.
A place for every purpose, a purpose for every place
Purposeful settings
From improvisational creativity to standardised processes, work today is more varied than ever before, so shouldn't our offices be more varied too? In a Living Office, people can choose from a range of spaces that better support their activities, strengthen their connection with colleagues, and help fulfil their specific purpose. These settings can be designed in ways that uniquely express the culture of an organisation and further their ambitions, making place a more valuable asset.
A Hive is a grouping of workstations that allows people to harmoniously engage in individual and collaborative work.
A Haven is a small shelter where focused work can be done without distraction.
A Clubhouse is a working area that belongs to a team assigned to a specific, long-term project.
Enabled by a clearly defined point of focus, a Forum supports the presentation and discussion of content.
Jump Space
Comprised of highly approachable work points, a Jump Space facilitates work for short periods of time between other activities.
A Cove is a compact setting near individual work points that enables people to work together for short periods of time.
The vibrant and dynamic heart of the landscape, a Plaza is a place where people can intuitively take the pulse of the organisation.
A Workshop is the ideal setting for people to work together to generate the ideas that drive work forwards.
Meeting Space
A Meeting Space is designed to support information sharing, whether it's a single speaker at the head of the room or a group of colleagues conversing among themselves.
A Landing is an open perching spot adjacent to Meeting Spaces or Forums, where people can warm up before meetings and cool down after they end.

Between the Numbers: Visions of Sugar Plums
Stephanie Plum
Autor: Janet Evanovich
Genre: englisch, Fantasy, Komödie
© St. Martins Press |160 Seiten|November 2002
It's five days before Christmas and things are not looking merry for Fugitive Apprehension Agent Stephanie Plum. She hasn't got a tree. She hasn't bought any presents. The malls are jam-packed with staggering shoppers. There's not a twinkle light anywhere to be seen in her apartment.
And there's a strange man in her kitchen.
Sure, this has happened to Stephanie Plum before. Strangers, weirdos, felons, creeps, and lunatics are always finding their way to her front door. But this guy is different. This guy is mysterious, sexy-and he has his own agenda. His name is Diesel and he is a man on a mission. And Diesel is unlike anyone Stephanie has ever met before in her life. The question is, what does he want with her? Can he help her find a little old toy maker who has skipped out on his bail right before Christmas? Can he survive the Plum family holiday dinner? Can he get Stephanie a tree that doesn't look like it was grown next to a nuclear power plant? These questions and more are keeping Stephanie awake at night. Not to mention the fact that she needs to find a bunch of nasty elves, her sister Valerie has a Christmas "surprise" for the Plums, her niece Mary Alice doesn't believe in Santa anymore, and Grandma Mazur has a new stud muffin. So bring out the plastic reindeer, strap on your jingle bells, and get ready to celebrate the holidays-Jersey style. Visions of Sugar Plums-the world of Plum has never been merrier!

I've not been giving much consideration to Rock Band's new music releases, what with the franchise skipping a year and interest in the rhythm genre waning in general. It turns out all Harmonix had to do to get my attention was say Yes.
Yes as in the British progressive rock group, not the affirmative response. Active on and off for more than 40 years, it's a band that's been with me my entire life. My brother used to play them in the pitch black darkness of my grandmother's attic when I was but a wee boy, and I remember being slightly frightened by the mystical quality of (former) lead singer Jon Anderson's voice. When I was ten they released the album 90125, with catch tracks like "Owner of a Lonely Heart" acting as a gateway deeper into their back catalog. This is a band that was not afraid to release an entire full-length album consisting of four songs, each clocking in at around 20 minutes.
I love these guys.
Rock Band 3 came with the classic "Roundabout" on the disc, the perfect song to introduce me to the third title's keyboard addition. I must have played it several dozen times. Now I am ready for more, and Harmonix delivers.
Yes Pack 01 features five tracks covering many facets of Yes' storied history, from winding musical journeys of "Heart of the Sunrise", "South Side of the Sky", and "Starship Trooper", to the straightforward songs non-fans have likely heard on the radio: "Owner of a Lonely Heart" and "I've Seen All Good People."
The five tracks will be hitting the Rock Band Music Store on July 26 for $8.99, or roughly two dollars a track if purchased separately. Both "Owner of a Lonely Heart" and "I've Seen All Good People" will have pro guitar and bass add-ons available for an additional dollar.
Now where did I put those damn instruments?

Mobile Miscellany: week of April 23rd, 2012
Not all mobile news is destined for the front page, but if you're like us and really want to know what's going on, then you've come to the right place. This past week, we learned that ZTE intends to release a phablet of its own, and Samsung unseated Nokia as the world's largest supplier of mobile phones. These stories and more await after the break. So buy the ticket and take the ride as we explore the "best of the rest" for this week of April 23rd, 2012.
ZTE plans to release a phablet (or two) of its own
A popular quotation is attributed to Gandhi as once having said, "First they ignore you. Then they laugh at you. Then they attack you. Then you win." While it's too early in the game to declare a victor, this adage could easily apply to the Samsung Galaxy Note. Not only has LG joined the race with its Optimus Vu, but in an attempt to break into the premium handset market, ZTE has announced that it'll also introduce a phone / tablet hybrid of its own. Not to stop at just one, Reuters reports that the company will unleash two phablets onto the market later this year. As one of our favorite features of the Galaxy Note is the multi-functional S Pen, it'll certainly be interesting to see just how thoroughly ZTE clones the original. [SlashGear, Reuters]
Inventory leak suggests Lumia 900 coming to Finland on May 2nd
You might've thought that Nokia's premiere smartphone would be available in its home country by now, but as the story goes, the company is still struggling to meet demand in the US. Earlier this week, a magenta Lumia 900 was spotted at a Finnish e-tailer, and most recently, an inventory leak suggested that the handset may become available in the country as early as May 2nd. Should this pan out, Finland will have a slight advantage over the UK, where the Lumia 900 is expected to make its official debut with Phones 4u on May 14th. [WMPoweruser]
GSM / EDGE support discovered for Motorola Droid 4 and Bionic
Okay, so this is hardly an ideal setup, but it's hard to deny the coolness factor of knowing that both the Droid 4 and Droid Bionic can be finessed to access GSM / EDGE networks. Little research has been done to determine specifically which bands these phones support, although quadband access seems quite likely. Previously, a similar stunt was performed for the HTC Rezound. Turns out that Verizon Wireless has a veritable lineup of world phones -- if you're willing to put in a bit of elbow grease. [Phandroid, xda-developers]
Samsung unseats Nokia as world's largest supplier of mobile phones
It was inevitable, really, but new data from iSuppli suggest that Samsung has now surpassed Nokia as the leading mobile phone manufacturer. During the first quarter of 2012, the Korean manufacturer managed to push 92 million handsets out the door, whereas Nokia came in second place with 83 million. This coveted spot was previously held by Nokia for 14 years. [SlashGear]
Leap Wireless details $94.3m net loss for Q1 2012
It's hard to take the sting off of losing nearly $100 million on revenues of $774m in just three months, but Leap Wireless -- known to the public as Cricket -- is trying to do just that. The company announced an addition of 258,000 subscribers for the first quarter of 2012 and now boasts approximately 6.1 million customers. Leap's CEO, Doug Hutcheson, suggested that the company will soon roll out more expensive plans and similarly drive customers to premium add-on services, which is set to take effect in the second half of this year. Also of note, the carrier will add up to seven new smartphones to its portfolio in time for the back-to-school season. [Fierce Wireless]
Sprint will bring WiMax devices to Boost and Virgin Mobile
Looks like those rumors of the EVO Design 4G making its move to the prepaid realm just got a bit more credible. During the company's earnings call, a Sprint executive confirmed that the network will bring WiMax handsets to its two subsidiaries -- Boost Mobile and Virgin Mobile -- in the next quarter. The carrier's agreement with Clearwire allows for such a move, which Sprint will leverage as it gears up for LTE deployment. [CNET]
Other random tidbits
Without a mention to specific carriers, HTC has announced that, in the very near term, it'll introduce the Radar for Windows Phone fans in Mexico. [WMPoweruser]
According to a Comscore report, the number of newly acquired smartphones has surpassed that of feature phones for the first time in Japan. [Textually]
A new version of Minecraft was unleashed for Android, which now allows players to craft items. [Phandroid]
AT&T has announced that it'll bring LTE to Salt Lake City later this year. [AT&T]
Virgin Mobile is sending out notifications to those on its $25/mo plan that it'll require users to move to the current pricing tier -- which starts at $35/mo -- once they upgrade their phones. [Thanks to everyone who sent this in] [Virgin Mobile]
Aussies can now go about renting Young Einstein from Google Play Movies, as the service became available to the land Down Under this week. [Android Central]

About Karen Fleschler
KAREN FLESCHLER Watercolors by KB I'm a watercolor artist because I love how the paint can be manipulated on paper. I enjoy the process from start to finish - from deciding what to paint, why I want to paint it, how I'm going to compose it and what colors and perspective do I want to apply and emphasize. My style of paint application is bright, loose under-painting with tight, textural brush strokes for the final layer. I'm very much into color and fancy myself a colorist. My themes usually come from things I have experienced and places that I have traveled to. I relive my memories through my art. Lately, I have been experimenting with watercolor canvas and the artistic styles of non-representational and representational...

When this book first came onto my radar as a book I might like to read, it was with reviews from my fellow personal finance bloggers that described it as one that will change your life, and that will make your finances follow you rather than the other way around. Both of those descriptions are pretty accurate.
For someone like myself, who's been writing on personal finance for over 5 years (Beating Broke turns 4 next month!), I've seen just about every bit of advice and every bit of financial knowledge that there is out there. Or, at least I think I have. Then something like this book comes along and puts it all together in a different way, or expresses it in a slightly different way, and I learn something new.
So, here's the short review. If you find yourself struggling with your money, and with how your money and your life can meet, this is most certainly a book for you. It's not your typical personal finance book that's going to tell you how to balance your checkbook, what to spend on (and what not to), or anything of the sort. What it is going to do is give you the tools to tracking what you're spending your money on and then coming to terms with whether those spending habits are habits that are putting you on a track towards a much more fulfilled life. They go a bit further than that, and get into how you can take your reformed spending habits, track them, and then turn your life into something that you want it to be, that uses money as a tool to further your life-long goals rather than postpone them.
It's not just a book for those that are struggling with money, either. I found several small things that I'll be working on implementing over the next few months that I hope will bring my finances into further alignment with goals and ambitions that have little to do with work, or money.
Have you read it? What was your reaction? Did you follow it's steps, and how did they help (or not) you?
I started this blog to share what I know and what I was learning about personal finance. Along the way I've met and found many blogging friends. Please feel free to connect with me on the Beating Broke accounts: Twitter and Facebook.
You can also connect with me personally at Novelnaut, Thatedeguy, Shane Ede, and my personal Twitter.

How to build your own pizza oven
If you've arrived here expecting fabric and stitchery, please be reassured that this is just a brief diversion and the needle and thread have only temporarily been usurped by bricks and cement.
I should say that while I consider my husband to be stunningly multi talented, he has never put up a shelf or wielded power tools around our house, so hopefully this will reassure any man (or woman) who lacks a passion for DIY that it's perfectly achievable, as long as you have a strong perfectionist streak and a stomach craving pizza to propel you onward.
As projects go though, there's nothing quite like it to gain the respect of men who do possess this ability. In his building mission we have accompanied my husband to reclamation sites and builders merchants and I began to notice that it's a project that commands instant respect. On our family entering a trade-only builder's yard we were viewed with visible bemusement and curiosity. However, after my husband had requested some materials they enquired what he was building...it was like watching moths to a flame as the men gathered around him and the visible shift in how they viewed this obviously non-trade amateur builder was quite something: every man we've come into contact with declared this to be their own dream project and instantly become animated on the subject of how to retain the necessary heat, potential construction methods and building materials. Which makes me think that this is one of those projects that burns inside a man waiting to get out.
If you follow any part of my husband's how-to, then we'd love to hear how you got on, or if you have any of your own hints and tips for building or pizza making then do feel free to share them in the comments section. Again, you can download the 'How to build your own pizza oven' PDF by clicking on the button below.
Ps: I should also add as I don't think my husband has mentioned this in the PDF: our sleepers will weather down to a more aesthetically pleasing driftwood grey over the winter - we decided to buy new sleepers rather than find reclaimed ones as they're something that often will have been creosoted in their past life...it's not a chemical that you might want in your garden or around food.
