Did you know that you could be arrested, fined, kicked out of your polling place, or have your vote tossed in the trash for sharing a photo of your marked ballot on the Web?
This is the reality for most states in the U.S. Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Nevada, North Carolina, Texas, and West Virginia all have laws on the books that explicitly forbid photography or video recording in polling places. Some states forbid the use of cellphones – which more often than not double as cameras. A majority of states have laws against the "public display" of a marked ballot – which means that Instagram photo you just posted to the Web may have broken state law. And other states just don't make the rules clear, meaning you'd have to ask an already over-worked polling place volunteer first before snapping a pic or shooting video – and they might not know the answer.
Despite this, citizens are flooding the Web with photos of their ballots. A quick search for the #vote hashtag on Instagram at the time of this writing brings up nearly 600,000 photos, many of which likely violated the law – though many probably didn't know they were doing so. On top of that, YouTube is pushing voters to record their voting experience, another potential no-no in the eyes of state laws.
In short, we might have a legal mess on our hands. So, how did we get in this muck? And, more importantly, can we get out?
To get a better sense of the issues at hand, I reached out to Andy Sellars, a First Amendment Fellow at Harvard University's Berkman Center for Internet & Society and a staff attorney for its Digital Media Law Project, which has become the preeminent authority on laws governing the photographing and recording of ballots.
Protecting the vote
First, it's important to remember that these laws are in place to protect citizens' right to vote and the integrity of the voting process at large.
"The reason to have laws like this largely go to issues of voter intimidation and voter fraud," says Sellars. "The concerns with voter intimidation would be you showing your ballot around the polling place, trying to use your vote as a way of influencing other voters how to vote, which obviously we [Americans] are pretty repugnant toward."
In terms of voter fraud, Sellars says these laws are often in place to prevent vote-purchasing schemes, which could become more prevalent if voters are able to take a photo of their completed ballot as proof that they voted a particular way. "By preventing the disclosure of ballots, you're preventing that from being able to happen," says Sellars. "It reinforces the privacy of the vote … It also helps make sure that people aren't interrupting other voters, or interfering with other voters, while in the polling place."
Despite the protection anti-ballot-disclosure laws provide, Sellars notes that much of this legislation was concocted in an age before smartphones and social media.
"It's important to keep in mind that these laws were probably written before we all walked around with cameras in our pockets," says Sellars. "So the laws contemplate sort of a traditional era of voting, where you'd mark your ballot, you'd deposit your ballot, then you'd walk out, and there would be no physical record of that ballot traveling [outside the polling place]."
A dangerous culture of disclosure
Another argument for the presence of laws against ballot disclosure is that, by allowing everyone to photograph and share their ballots, it could create a so-called culture of disclosure, wherein people who do not wish to share their ballot with anyone feel pressure to do so. Sellars, however, doesn't see this becoming too widespread a problem.
"There haven't been that many elections where we have social media like we have today, so this election could be setting a new standard here," says Sellars. "But, in general, we haven't seen all that many people doing this. We see it happen for sure. And Instagram, I'm sure, will have many examples of this today. But I think that this idea of privacy around your vote isn't escaping the next generation of youth that are voting for the first time today."
"For the same reasons that you might be careful about photos you post on Facebook from a party this weekend, you might be careful about posting [your ballot]," Sellars adds. "It could jump back to bite you later."
Shackled free speech
Of course, it is difficult not to notice the irony in laws that are meant to protect the most sacred form of free speech – your vote – which in turn prevent people from engaging in speech. Sellars says that "these sorts of disclosure laws face some serious Constitutional issues under the First Amendment," but that the issues are most pertinent "in circumstances where [states are] prohibiting the disclosure of a ballot after the election has concluded."
Furthermore, these laws do not prevent all forms of disclosure. As Jeff Hermes, director of the Digital Media Law Project, writes in a blog post on the First Amendment issues, "ballot disclosure laws are not complete bars to disclosure of a voter's choice; voters are free to discuss their votes, albeit without proof in photographic form."
Limited usefulness
Hermes goes on to argue that taking a picture of your marked ballot, or recording video at a polling location, only adds further protection against voter fraud and errors which seem to have become increasingly commonplace given the prevalence of e-voting machines.
"Voting is the fundamental method by which American citizens exercise their rights of self-governance, and it is essential to combat corruption of the process," writes Hermes. "However, the extraordinary importance of voting also requires that we be free as citizens to discuss our experiences at the polls, including the people for whom we voted if we so wish. Otherwise, we begin to lose the protection against corruption and error that the First Amendment itself provides."
The ability to record in your ballot has already proven its usefulness in this election, with a Reddit user capturing an e-voting machine switching his vote from Obama to Romney.
Sellars says that recording the conditions around your polling location may provide "very helpful evidence" as to whether the election is being conducted legally (as the video above proves); however, he says it's not entirely clear that photographing your ballot is a particularly useful way to make elections more transparent.
"You'd have to have so many people disclosing their ballots in order to show a bad count in their precinct," says Sellars. "You could come up with a circumstance where, you know, a precinct says, 'We had 100 percent of respondents say this.' And then you say, 'No, here's me voting the other way.' But statistically, that's very unlikely."
Times a-changin' – but not yet
In other words, there is a great debate to be had over whether or not disclosure laws are a positive or negative force on our democracy. Still, some states, like Maine, have already begun to update their disclosure laws. And Sellars says others may follow suit. Until then, however, your best bet is to "contact your precinct first," says Sellars, before you snap an Instagram pic of your ballot. This is especially important due to the fact that many of these laws are so vague.
"Just because a state law doesn't expressly prohibit [photographing and sharing your ballot], doesn't necessarily mean it's OK," says Sellars. "Virtually every state empowers the secretary of state or the attorney general of the state, as well as local election officials, to take action to prevent activity which would disrupt a polling place"
So snap cautiously, people. Who knows what could happen if you don't.

My previous post on PIR generated some interesting comments on the practicality of such schemes and why Google isn't already doing it. An angle to this that I should have mentioned earlier is the way that PIR-like methods can actually help government snoopers.
David Molnar had pointed to this a while back: it's a paper by Ostrovsky and Skeith from CRYPTO 2005 titled 'Private Searching on Streaming Data'. The premise is that you are the NSA or some other intelligence organization, and you want to run searches on various data streams without any adversary being able to detect what your searches are about (presumably so that they can't game the system to avoid detection). This of course is the same as the PIR paradigm, except with the "good guys" and "bad guys" flipped around.

As you may know, the global economic depression has hit the media hard, due in large part to the fact that ad rates are in the toilet. OSNews is in the same boat. Despite the fact that we still have good advertisers, our income from advertising this year will only be a fraction of what it was last year. We probably won't make enough to cover our costs. Other news sites, as they've seen revenue decrease, have responded with more, and more intrusive, advertising. We don' t want to do that. We feel we have a covenant with our readers. If you'll be respectful of our need to run ads, we'll be respectful of your need to read the site without having ads shoved down your throat. Please read on, for more discussion of our ad "covenant," and a plea for help, including a plea to all Adblock users to please unblock OSNews.

Enough of this? The one post was too much for you?
There was bound to be at least one. Perhaps I'm just getting too cynical, but the first thought that occurred to me while reading the article was "how long will it take before some armchair webmaster starts whining self-righteously in the comments?"
Maybe he'd be happier over at ArsTechnica, where blocking ads is grounds for account deletion (even for paying subscribers). Which I feel obligated to point out, having posted a few unfavourable comparisons between OSNews and Ars in the past.

Macquarie Infrastructure Co. LLC is buying the half of liquid storage provider International-Matex Tank Terminals that it does not already control for $1.03 billion in cash and stock, it said Monday.
Macquarie will pay $910 million in cash and $115 million in stock for IMTT, which has a facility in Bayonne among its 10 marine terminals, it said in a news release.
"Our acquisition of the remainder of IMTT represents a unique, strategic opportunity for investors, customers and employees of IMTT," James Hooke, MIC's CEO, said in the release. "We believe the acquisition will deliver dividend growth for shareholders of MIC and to further enhance our ability to drive operational improvement and growth investments at IMTT. In addition, we expect the acquisition will fortify MIC's stable, largely contracted revenue based business model."
MIC said in the release that it expects three members of the founding Coleman family to retire from IMTT: James Coleman, chairman; Thomas Coleman, CEO; and James O. Coleman, head of government relations. Hooke will serve as CEO, while Macquarie's IMTT asset director, James May, will serve as CFO.
MIC acquired the first half of IMTT in 2006.
"We're acquiring a business that we know from our involvement with it over the past eight years and, more importantly, a business with a strong foundation built over many years of stewardship on the part of the Coleman family," Hooke said in the release. "We look forward to working with IMTT to accelerate its growth in part through increasing the amount of growth capital deployed into new projects."

When Jennifer Lawrence is on the late-night circuit, ridiculous things are bound to spill out of her mouth.
The wisecracking "The Hunger Games: Catching Fire" star swung by "The Late Show With David Letterman" on Wednesday to promote her latest film, which opens Friday. The 23-year-old and her costars have been doing a whirlwind international press tour for the last few weeks before resuming filming on the third and fourth installments of the franchise.
JLaw was tired, so very tired, and it was becoming really obvious in her protracted, TMI-filled interview (to be followed up by an early appearance on "Good Morning America" on Thursday.)
PHOTOS: See Jennifer Lawrence's 'Hunger Games' red-carpet looks
The freshly coiffed actress started off the appearance talking about her pixie cut and the deja vu it gave her.
"I got a haircut on a cruise once when I was 11," she added. "Don't do that if you ever get that idea. I did the same thing as this, 'I was like I'm gonna cut my hair, I'm going to cut it all off.' I don't know why...
"I had really curly hair and so it was a 'fro," she said. "And then I looked like one of my brothers for like a year. It takes a while for it to grow back. I do have really curly hair, so when this stuff, when it doesn't have a professional involved it looks pretty masculine."

Letterman asked her about her peers' reaction when she returned to school to debut the look, but it turns out she wasn't as fabulous as she thought.
"I walked into the gym before school and everybody was talking and everything, and I walked in feeling great and everybody just went dead silent," she said. "I, of course, thought because I looked so beautiful. I was like, 'Ooh my God, I'm literally a show stopper.'
"I was weird," she added, then demonstrated how crazy she was when it came to brushing her teeth at age 10 and how her brother Ben joined her for the appearance "to settle some of the score of all the things I've said about them in the past."
QUIZ: Test your 'Catching Fire' knowledge
The interview took up most of the hour with Lawrence recapping tons of awkward stories about being sick or exhausted. (Letterman later took up her cause and called out movie execs for overworking her.)
"I thought I had an ulcer, and it turns out it was a 'falser,'" she said about a story that had her going to the ER this week. "I went to the emergency room, I just had this really bad pain for three weeks and you can only ... so many times a day before you like have to go to the emergency room and before you're like, 'I need to go to the hospital.'
"But I just did this thing yesterday where the first lucid conversation I had was about the Kardashians," she said, adding that she made the anesthesiologist promise her that she'd watch "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills."
"They said that the problem is either in my lower intestine or my mind. They only had time [to check] the upper... Something's wrong with me and I'm going to find out what it is," she laughed. "I don't care how many medical bills I rack up, I'm going to get a disease! Somebody's just going to have to give me something, 'OK, that's what I have.'"
Lawrence attempted to change the subject: "How about that mayor that smokes crack?!" she said, invoking Rob Ford.
That didn't work, so Letterman brought up how she's probably beloved by fans in her native Kentucky.
"Well, yeah, the ones that come up to my face. But for every person that says they like me, there are a lot of people who don't."
PHOTOS: Jennifer Lawrence's career in pictures
The Dior spokeswoman wore a black pencil skirt with an embellished black crop top, about which she complained to the salty host. He then mentioned Lawrence's thigh-baring Los Angeles premiere dress, which appeared to prompt a discussion over the commercial break about Lawrence being cold and complaining -- a running theme in the interview.
"My palms are sweating profusely, my rings are falling off. Do you ever get so cold you you start sweating? Is that just a gross problem I have?" she said.
"Have you always been hypochondriacal?" Letterman quipped.
"I don't know what that means, but it sounds like a disease, which means I have it! So, yes, yes I have!"
Letterman then called for a wrap for the star: a bright pink floral comforter. She gratefully hugged it around her and was joined beneath it by the the host. (Yes, that really happened.)
"Good night everybody. Get right under here!" he said. "Oh, I wish they'd go away."
REVIEW: 'The Hunger Games: Catching Fire'
Of course, Lawrence then resumed her interview wrapped in the blanket.
Letterman then recapped the epic tumble she took while accepting her best actress Oscar for "Silver Linings Playbook" in February.
"Best memory of my life," she called it.
"That's a great thing and people really empathized with that moment," Letterman said, because "you can be a great actress and still be one of us. A lot of the great actresses get to be snotty, you're not snotty."
"They can walk up stairs, I hope I never turn into one of those," she quipped.
Ever the lady, the Oscar winner also talked about her costar Woody Harrelson, with whom she hung around on the set of "The Hunger Games" films.
But that came with a story containing a by now familiar theme. "He, like, gave me some healthy drink that was so healthy I think it shocked my system. I was at work, I was like, 'Woody, is there something in there that can make me crap my pants?' And he was like,'Yeah, yeah, there's lots of stuff.' And he starts listing all this stuff and I started sweating and I was like, sweating, 'What's happening?' It keeps happening to me!"
"It's like really bad first date," Letterman joked. "She won't stop talking about crapping her pants, so I took her home."

Special to the Crier
Kidney stones are becoming more common along with the rise of other "Western Diet" ailments. It is estimated that ten percent of all Americans have kidney stones. These stones don't often become evident until they are dislodged from the kidney and travel down through the ureter into the bladder. This passage can be quite painful as the crystals scrap their way through these very narrow tubes.
Stones are formed from crystalline substances being excreted in the urine. When these crystalline substances become concentrated enough, they begin to stick together to form larger crystals. Today's diets can result in high concentrations of particles that accumulate into crystals.
The most common kidney stones are formed as calcium oxalate crystals. They are often the result of a diet low in fiber (vegetables) and high in refined carbohydrates (sugar). Other dietary contributions include high alcohol consumption, high animal protein intake, high fat intake, and high intake of milk products.
Sometimes stones are also the result of excessive antacid use. In addition, dehydration plays a role in stone formation by concentrating the urine. This is why they are more prevalent in the summer months. Stones other than calcium oxalate are formed from uric acid (e.g. someone with gout) or struvite or cystine.
The most important measure of treatment to consider is prevention. In other words, eat a varied diet with plenty of raw vegetables and lots of water. However, if a person already has kidney stones it is a good idea to identify what kind they are. Even though 80% of them will be calcium oxalate, some have very different compositions. Some stones can be dissolved by merely changing the pH, or acidity, of the urine. Others can be dissolved with ultrasound treatments. The smaller ones just need to pass through to the bladder. Often comfort relief is about all that can be done. Dilating the ureters as much as possible will help ease the passage of stones. Magnesium has proven to be very helpful for this, as has Vitamin B6. There is an herb called hydrangea that can also open up the ureters.
Once a person has had kidney stones, it is wise to determine how they were formed in order to prevent future stones. Diet and lifestyle adjustments are the first place to start. For instance, if the stones are determined to be calcium oxalate in origin, then avoid oxalate foods such as spinach, coffee and rhubarb. Interestingly, calcium supplementation may actually help reduce the formation of calcium oxalate stones. Cranberry juice can help dissolve developing stones, though be aware that most cranberry juice products on the market are very high in sugar. And, remember that uric acid stones need an alkaline environment to dissolve in and therefore won't be effectively prevented with the acidic cranberry juice.

The Bisons closed out the tournament Sunday afternoon with a 1-0 win over Marshall from Conference USA. The Bisons beat Oral Roberts 1-0 Friday night. They are 2-0-1 to start the season.
Freshman midfielder/forward Alexander Faulk scored what proved to be the game-winning goal in both games. Faulk, midfielder/forward Garrett McLaughlin, midfielder Jeremy Reid and midfielder Angel Chairez were named to the all-tournament team.
"Alexander is a great kid who works super hard," said Lipscomb coach Charles Morrow. "He is super opportunistic. He has a great attitude and when your attitude is right and you are working hard things will go your way.
"He scored goals in high school. He scored goals in club. He is like Andrew Chamberlain. He has scored goals on every level."
Faulk is a reserve for the Bisons, but he has responded when opportunities have presented themselves to him. Against Marshall he scored at the 34:04 mark of the first half. His goal was unassisted off of a deflection.
"There are guys on the team that would be unhappy with the playing time Alexander gets," said Morrow. "But he doesn't complain. He doesn't sulk. He is ready to contribute in any way he can.
"For him to get two goals in the weekend is awesome for him. It takes all kinds of players. That is what makes a team a team. He understands his role and is doing extremely well in his role."
Patrick Walsh made his first start of the season and earned the shutout. Brent McGee, who started the previous two games, also has one shutout.
Marshall attempted seven shots, with only two shots on goal. The Bisons made 10 shots, including six shots on goal.
"They aren't making it easy in goal," said Morrow. "Both of them are playing well. At this point they both have individual characteristics that make them strong goalkeepers.
"I think it is a case where we have to look at who we are playing and decide who matches up best. Both of them are doing a great job handling this. They are both very much team players."
The Bisons head to Ann Arbor, Mich., this weekend to take on both Michigan and Michigan State in Michigan's tournament. Beating Marshall is a boost for the Bisons as they prepare for their trip north.
"Marshall is in a big time conference," said Morrow. "It is a good thing for our conference to get a winning result against a conference with an RPI higher than the Atlantic Sun's.
"A goal for the conference is to get two teams in the NCAA Tournament. For that to happen we have to beat teams like Marshall."
Morrow's team doesn't plan to spend a lot of time reflecting on the success of the weekend.
"We didn't play extremely well this weekend, and I think the team would echo that," said Morrow. "There is a lot of work to be done.
"But it is also a little bit of testament to where we are at to not feel great about the way we played and still come away with two wins. One thing we are doing, which is an improvement from last year, is that we are so much more organized defensively than we have been in the past. Marshall has some athletes that are super explosive and we did a good job of shutting them down."

We are a service company.
In the project area, we are able to define some tasks for collaborators.
for example, for a given project, in my project I have 2 collaborators:
* C1 is a project Manager and worked 10 days on the project
* C2 is a developper and worked 22 days
If I want to generate an invoice for this, how can Iconfigure the tool?
My Project Manager for this project as a rate 500€/day
My developper as a rate of 300€/day
the total of the invoice should be 5000+6600=11600€

So...this demo version of the game. How does it begin and end? Because I think I have it by mistake. I don't have a menu and I think Lancer kills me and the game ends and closes.
And how do you use that thing on the Type-Moon website about getting the real files needed to play the game? I have the code I need, but I don't know what else they're asking for.

Fatal/fake is a Fate/Stay Night fighting game which gets boring after you discover the AI's flaws and abuse it.
1) That's what it seems like.
2) Um, I believe it's Rin x Saber first, then Shirou x Saber...
3) I am not quite sure, but doesn't appear that way.

It's 'half animated'. Most of the game is still pictures like other visual novels, but there will be action at every battle. (still not fully animated--it's impossible to fully animate Nasu's battle scenes since Nasu tends to make characters move extremely fast in his novels)
Fatal/Fake is just a doujin game...You can find the basic guide here:

Ummm, from what I saw (aka penetration/ejaculation and other acts of sex), let's just say that it goes beyond the boundaries of what I can see without my stomach having a slight turn.
What I myself would classify as "ero" rather than "hentai" would be something more tasteful...aka something focusing more on the beauty of sex than the sex of sex.

A ketone urine test measures the amount of ketones in the urine.
Alternative Names
Ketone bodies - urine; Urine ketones
How the Test is Performed
Urine ketones are usually measured as a "spot test." This is available in a test kit that you can buy at a drug store. The kit contains dipsticks coated with chemicals that react with ketone bodies. A dipstick is dipped in the urine sample. A color change indicates the presence of ketones.
This article describes the ketone urine test that involves sending collected urine to a lab.
How to Prepare for the Test
You may have to follow a special diet. Your health care provider may tell you to stop taking medicines that may affect the test.
How the Test will Feel
The test involves only normal urination. There is no discomfort.
Why the Test is Performed
Ketones build up when the body needs to break down fats and fatty acids to use as fuel. This is most likely to occur when the body does not get enough sugar or carbohydrates.
Ketone testing is most often done if you have type 1 diabetes and:
- Your blood sugar is higher than 240 milligrams per deciliter (mg/dL)
- You have an illness such as pneumonia, heart attack, or stroke
- Nausea or vomiting occur
- You are pregnant
Normal Results
A negative test result is normal.
Normal value ranges may vary slightly among different laboratories. Some labs use different measurements or test different samples. Talk to your doctor about the meaning of your specific test results.
What Abnormal Results Mean
An abnormal result means you have ketones in your urine. The results are usually listed as small, moderate, or large as follows:
- Small: <20 mg/dL
- Moderate: 30to 40 mg/dL
- Large: >80 mg/dL
This may be due to diabetic ketoacidosis, a problem that occurs in people with Type 1 diabetes. It occurs when the body has no insulin or the insulin does not cause the right signal in fat cells to prevent fat from being broken down to form ketones.
An abnormal result may also be due to:
- Abnormal food or nutrition intake due to:
anorexia nervosa(an eating disorder), fasting, high protein or low carbohydrate diet, starvation, vomiting over a long period
- Disorders of increased metabolism
- Acute or severe illness
- Burns
- Fever
- Nursing a baby (lactation)
- Pregnancy
There are no risks with this test.

The death of a vulnerable Chesterfield teenager who hanged himself in a custody cell is to be featured in a BBC TV documentary.
Bolton coroner's court heard this month how Jake Hardy, 17, of Stonegravels, Chesterfield, hanged himself on January 20, 2012, while he was serving a sentence for affray and assault at Hindley youth offenders' institution in Wigan.
The inquest jury concluded he died four days later as a result of his own deliberate act but found multiple failings by YOI staff contributed to his death after he had been bullied by inmates.
Jake is one of three young people who have died in custody and they are to be featured in the documentary called Dead Behind Bars from 9pm, on Thursday, on April 24, for BBC Three.
The film was inspired by the charity INQUEST's groundbreaking 2012 report Fatally Flawed which examined deaths in prison of children and young people aged 24 and under.
Building on this work, INQUEST worked in alliance with others, calling for a review into young deaths in prison.
In February, the Government agreed to commission an independent review into the deaths of 18-24 year-olds.
INQUEST is continuing to call for the remit to be broadened to include an examination of the deaths of youngsters whose stories are presented in this film.
Deborah Coles, co-director of INQUEST, said: "The deaths of children and young people in prison should be a national scandal prompting national debate and government action. Inquest after inquest shows that many of the deaths could and should have been prevented and that the mechanisms set up to protect vulnerable young people are failing.
"We are pleased to have been involved in the development of this important film. Through families' voices the reality of what is done to some of our most vulnerable children and young people is powerfully exposed and underlines why an overhaul of the treatment of children and young people in conflict with the law is so desperately needed."
Emma Wakefield, Executive Producer at Lambent Productions which made the documentary for BBC Three, said: "This powerful film tells a shocking story. Articulated through the experiences of the bereaved families it offers a very personal look at what happens when your child dies behind bars. Since we started filming in September 2013, nine young people aged 21 and under have died."

It is not recommended to add a strap button the neck heel of Yamaha guitars since it would void the limited lifetime warranty on the guitar due to modification. A traditional strap that can be tied to the headstock is recommended. Please reference the guitar warranty link for further details on modification under the exclusions section.

During a recent city council meeting, the mayor of Keene, N.H., leaned over to a council member and whispered excitedly: "We're going to have our own tank."
During a recent city council meeting, the mayor of Keene, N.H., leaned over to a council member and whispered excitedly: "We're going to have our own tank."
Yes, the tank (or, more specifically, the "armored personnel vehicle") is the latest must-have toy for mayors and police departments. Even in this picture-perfect and tranquil New England town of about 23,000 residents, officials hurl common sense to the wind at the very thought of having such a cool ride parked in front of town hall. Maybe they'll even get to drive it in the next 4th of July parade! Never mind that Keene has no crime that would warrant rolling out a tank.
Nonetheless, thanks to such richly funded boondoggles as the "war on drugs" and the "war on terrorism," the federal government is throwing money at cities and states to militarize their police forces. Thus, Keene was granted $285,000 by the Department of Homeland Security to buy its very own "Bearcat," an eight-ton combat vehicle.
Of course, corporations that peddle such pricey hardware testily insist that Keene needs a tank. A sales executive for Lenco Industries, which makes the Bearcat, snapped to an inquiring reporter: "I don't think there's any place in the country where you can say, 'That isn't a likely terrorist target.' Wouldn't you rather be prepared?"
The sensible people of Keene, however, aren't swallowing the fearmonger pill and they've forced the town council to reconsider. Local businesswomen Dorrie O'Meara says she hasn't met a single person who's in favor of having "this militaristic thing in Keene." She calls the tank "completely unnecessary. But it's more than that," she adds. "It's just not who we are. It's about what kind of town we want to be."
Wherever you live, take heart in the Keene example. Reject the corporate nonsense and insist on being the town you want to be.

Johnny A. Get Inside (Favored Nations)
Thus far, I've hated everything that's come out on Steve Vai's virtuoso-only Favored Nations label. Not because I hate the virtuosos, but because the production values are skewed shamelessly toward contemporary pussy jazz a la Hiroshima and Yellowjackets. This is somewhat true of blues guitarist Johnny A.'s second release for FN, but he's got even more soul than he has chops, thus saving his new record from being one giant bore. Johnny A. crosses genre fences with the ease of a hot knife through butter, and his skill is unearthly, yet palatable.
PJ Harvey Uh Huh Her (Island)
Four years since her last studio release, PJ Harvey returns with, if you can fathom the notion, her most personal record to date. That's partly due to the fact that she wrote, performed and produced the entire affair herself, but also because she's mastered the art of peeling away her own skin. Deeply emotional and musically visceral (if sparse), Uh Huh Her is a painful listen that's also intensely addictive. Harvey's recordings have always been completely devoid of charm and hope, a tool she has effectively used to make her work irresistible. Brutal, delicious.
Dimmu Borgir/Old Man's Child Devil's Path/In the Shades of Life (Candlelight USA)
Suffice to say that Norse black metal bands Dimmu Borgir and Old Man's Child have shared members over the years. Now they're sharing a record, which, in the end, does more to underscore the power and prowess of the lesser-known OMC than it does to promote Ozzfest attractions, Dimmu Borgir. OMC's Galder is a far more sinister vocalist than DB's Shagrath, and the blastbeats somehow sound more sincere on OMC's half of the album. DB's death metal-meets-John Williams orchestrations sound mechanical and just shy of inspiring.

Following the discussion in this thread, I've implemented a navigation plugin that allows you to navigate back and forward in a browser-like manner.
Code: github.com/optilude/SublimeText ... History.py
Put this in your "Packages" directory and then configure "Key bindings - User" to use it. I use these keybindings for it on OS X:
{ "keys": "super+ctrl+alt+left"], "command": "navigation_history_back"},
{ "keys": "super+ctrl+alt+right"], "command": "navigation_history_forward"}
It works like this:
Whenever you navigate (change selection/move the caret) to a location that differs to the previous selection location by more than 2 lines or is in a different file, a history entry is made (this stops history entries from being created every time you type something or use the arrow keys to navigate around)
Go back in history, use the navigation_history_back command. I've bound this to cmd+alt+ctrl+left above
Go forward in history, use the navigation_history_forward command. I've bound this to cmd+alt+ctrl+right above
You can go back and forth multiple times, but as soon as a new history entry is recorded (i.e. you just somewhere else), the forward history is cleared
History is per-window, so it works across files in the same window/project, but not between windows
Feedback/forks/improvements welcome.
This is excellent.
Very useful! Thanks!
Very nice idea. Biggest problem I have with it is that when doing inline search it saves all intermediate positions to which editor jumps while typing a word.
Interesting problem. It's possibly hard to deal with that, unless there's some way to check whether an inline search is currently active in the "on selection changed" event hook.
Dear Martin,
You mean within like this?
Based from your post, I am guessing you must be most probably working on an OS X machine. I am on Windows and it should be like I showed, at least that's what I think. I never used a Mac. Maybe for OS X & Windows users, it differs a bit.
Please share me your inputs and tell whether it should always be generic, i.e. to always be within
regardless on which environment you are working on or should that navigationHistory.py be placed differently for Windows users under this
Also regarding the keys, what could keys like super be equivalent for windows?
I don't really know as I've not used Sublime Text on Windows.
The 'super' key is the command key. I'd probably use cmd+alt+shift with left or right on Windows.
Does this plugin still work? It doesn't seem to do anything for me.
p.s. if it's still maintained maybe consider adding it to package control? wbond.net/sublime_packages/packa ... developers
Confirm plugin works. Thanks for great job. Please put it on package control.
Just wanted to chime in here with a great big "Thank You!". I've been using your plug-in this week and it's been great.
The amazing thing that prompted me to write this post was when I accidentally closed a tab. I hit cmd-z and cmd-shift-t, my two muscle memory commands to undo a closed tab (safari and chrome, respectively), but neither worked. But then I realized I had just been editing that tab and tried going "back". And it worked!
So, great plug-in. I encourage others to give it a try, and maybe jon to include similar functionality at some point (pretty please!).
Cool plugin but it doesn't seem to work with split panes :\
I would love to have this functionality, but it doesn't seem to work in 2.0.1 build 2217 (or else I'm a unique case).
Kudos - awesome plugin.
For me it's rather cumbersome that it switches to a different tab when I have more than one open (and made edits in both / multiple tabs).Could the source be changed so that it doesn't switches tabs but when it has reached the last known history entry in the current tab, it just stays at that position?
Excellent! Thanks
Wow, works like charm... thanks a lot!!

BETHLEHEM, Pa. -- Intrigue was added to the Eagles' No. 2 quarterback competition on Saturday after coach Andy Reid revealed that Mike Kafka fractured his left hand and will not be able to fully participate for three weeks.
Kafka, the third-year backup quarterback, had his non-throwing hand stepped on during Thursday's 24-23 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers in the preseason opener. Kafka will be take part in 7-on-7 drills and some individual drills, but will not be able to participate in any drills that require him taking snaps. Reid estimated a recovery time of three weeks.
We'll see how that all works out," Reid said. "Keep an eye on it as we go"
Kafka could be seen with his left hand wrapped after Monday's walk-through, although he was rushing to a meeting and did not have time to comment on the injury.
Reid also said that rookie Nick Foles will take the snaps with the second-time offense in Kafka's absence.
Foles outplayed Kafka on Thursday. The rookie went 6-for-10 with 144 yards and two touchdowns. Kafka went 5-for-9 with 31 yards and an interception.
- WR Jeremy Maclin, RB Dion Lewis and DT Cullen Jenkins all will miss practice with "slight" hamstring strains suffered on Thursday. OL Brandon Washington has not been cleared to practice because of a concussion. DE Jason Babin (calf), WR Riley Cooper (collarbone) and CB Cliff Harris (ankle) continue to miss practice because of previous injury.
- DE Trent Cole and TE Brent Celek will both practice. FB Emil Agwenagu, who has been practicing at tight end, will return to fullback now that Celek is back.
- The Eagles will wear pads during Saturday's practice and have physical practices during the next few days. They're off on Wednesday and will return to a game schedule on Thursday.

A profanity-laced e-mail by a sorority sister gets her reputation from Alpha to persona-non-Gamma right after a news anchorman for a North Dakota television station was fired for opening his first-ever broadcast with obscenities. It's time to find a cure for sailor's mouth before our kids become the next to lose face and future over a slip of the lip that sinks their professional ship.
A Delta Gamma sister at the University of Maryland is "resigning" from her sorority after her F-bomb rant in e-mail sparked a viral, media-frenzy. Last week the headlines were all about A.J. Clemente, new weekend news anchorman for Bismarck, N.D., television station KFYR when, as his co-anchor was making the introduction on air he failed to realize his microphone was live as he dropped some choice obscenities.
Sadly, I can imagine the shock and awe their parents felt upon seeing their kids on the news for foul-mouthed fails. I wonder if the parents swore roundly when they first heard about the incidents?
I can say with all honesty that if I were in their positions I would have struggled mightily not to let fly with a few expletives.
I don't drink, smoke, do any sort of drug and have even given up coffee and Red Bull, but swearing is still, despite all efforts, my Achillies heel. I blame it on my former New York Times, New Jersey section editor who used the F-bomb as every part of speech and punctuation as well.
When I first began working for the Times as a stringer, about 15 years ago, I didn't need to delete expletives from my speech, let alone e-mails because I just plain didn't use them. However, after several years of multiple daily phone calls with my section editor, I became so desensitized to the word that I began to use it with regularity.
That came to an abrupt halt when I was out on assignment one day and my mother came to our house to babysit the boys while I was out doing an interview. When I returned home mom told me, "A man called claiming to be from The New York Times. He expects you to call him back. I told him I'd see about that."
That is all she told me at that time. The following story comes from the aforementioned contrite and swear-free editor who answered my return call. The story requires a moment of background.
This editor habitually called with a greeting that was never, "hello," but a rapid-fire, no breaths or prisoners bark full of F-bomb adjectives.
Mom and I have almost identical "phone voices" and her hello triggered the floodgates of salty greeting when the editor rang me up that morning.
The editor moaned: "I swore at your mother! How upset is she? What did she say?"
Even now I remember the icy trickle down my spine as he unfolded the story in technicolorful language and detail. We had a "curse jar" in our house, and allowance would be eaten alive by it if you uttered a profanity. Today, in our house, cursing gets you more chores, and if you swear while doing them, the chores multiply like rabbits.
Back to the editor's call where, apparently, Mom listened and listened and then took a few breaths before saying to him, in what I can imagine was the tone of a disdainful snow queen, "I am terribly sorry, SIR, but my daughter is not in at the moment. If you will give me your name I will give her some of your message."
When I got off the phone there was my mother, sitting at my dining room table with a cup of coffee and The New York Times. She was crisply turning the pages. Nobody can turn a page and make it sound like a whipcrack of ire like my mom. I now do the same thing and it is the universal "Lookout! Mom's peeved," signal in our house to hear a page turned in anger.
"That man's a bad influence on you. Now I see where all your swearing is coming from," she said. I was a grown woman with three children at the time and at that moment I was looking at the toes of my pumps in total childhood disgrace.
It put up a firewall between my brain and my mouth from that day on because the fact was that I hadn't even realized I'd sworn in her presence during her visits. That meant I was swearing in earshot of the boys. Double epic fail! However, once you have broken that barrier to bad language, it's a struggle to keep the new wall in place. Hence, I am even more tough on the boys during those times when the chore load fails to keep them in check.
This week must be a bad week for good words because the chore load wasn't doing the job with my 17-year-old. I made him read the recent stories about the sorority girl and news anchor and offered him the alternative of using his natural humor as countermeasures to swearing.
His naturally rebellious almost-18 attitude inspired him to mock the idea with "OK, so I drop a hammer on my foot and yell 'Oh Frootloops?' Seriously?"

GRAND FORKS, N.D. --- The University of North Dakota couldn't have asked for a much more fitting ending to its home schedule as it cruised its way to an 8-1 decision over Minnesota State, Mankato, Saturday to sweep the Mavericks and advance to its third-consecutive Western Collegiate Hockey Association Final Face-Off.
Playing in its final home game at the Ralph Engelstad Arena, it was extra special for all eight seniors led by Jocelyne Lamoureux (Grand Forks, N.D.), who had a game-high six points (2-4-6), and Monique Lamoureux (Grand Forks, N.D.), who had a game-high four goals.
On Monique Lamoureux's hat-trick goal recorded in the third period, she passed Wisconsin's Hilary Knight to move into second place all-time in WCHA career scoring with 263 points, trailing only her sister Jocelyne Lamoureux.
With the game already in hand, head coach Brian Idalski, who picked up his 200th career victory with the win, was able to send senior netminder Jorid Dagfinrud (Sarpsborg, Norway) into the game to backstop UND for the final 9:50 of regulation and allow his five other seniors to conclude the final minute of the game in Ashley Furia (Sedalia, Colo.), Megan Gilbert (Andover, Minn.), Mary Loken (Roseau, Minn.), Allison Parizek (Minot, N.D.) and Jordan Slavin (Erie, Colo.).
After the conclusion of the game, UND gave the crowd a team stick salute before all eight seniors returned to the ice to give the fans one more victory lap and another salute at center ice.
UND will advance to the conference tournament next weekend looking to extend its program record 25 wins and 12-game unbeaten streak where it will face either second-seeded Wisconsin or fifth-seeded Ohio State at 4:07 p.m. at Ridder Arena in Minneapolis.
Much like the opening game, UND blew the game open in the first period, tonight scoring the game's first five goals before allowing a late Maverick score to take a 5-1 lead into the first break.
In their final game wearing their home white jersey's, the Lamoureux twins came out and fittingly scored the game's first two goals at the 3:50 and 9:17 marks, respectively.
Sophomore Josefine Jakobsen (Aalborg, Denmark) joined the scoring with her 16th of the season before Monique Lamoureux and Jocelyne Lamoureux each tallied their second of the night in the first frame.
MSU stole a bit of the thunder heading into the break scoring what would prove to be its lone goal with only 16 seconds remaining in the opening stanza although being outshot 23-10.
The game's first penalty was called late in the second period and Michelle Karvinen (Rodovre, Denmark) took advantage to extend the lead to 6-1.
Monique Lamoureux closed out the game with a shorthanded and power-play goal to open the flood gates in the third period. Her shorthanded goal secured her hat trick and moved her into sole position of second place in WCHA career scoring.
There has been four hat tricks scored by defensemen in all of NCAA women's hockey this season and Monique Lamoureux has three of them.
Freshman Meghan Dufault (Winnipeg, Manitoba) collected three assists to improve her season total to 39 points (18-21-39).
UND closed out the game with a 45-23 advantage in shots while going a 2-for-2 on the power play and held the Mavericks scoreless in one attempt.
Freshman Shelby Amsley-Benzie picked up her program-record 18th win of the season making 19 saves.

Glxgears is not a Benchmark
glxgears is an OpenGL program that reports FPS (frames per second) numbers. However, it is a very limited 'test'. Unlike most modern 3D games, glxgears:
- has an extremely low vertex/polygon count
- does no texturing at all
- only simple, flat shading is used (except inside the hole in each gear is simple smooth shading)
- all vertex data is stored in a display list, so almost nothing passes between host CPU and video card once rendering is started. This mostly implies video card fill rate is limited. But, see next point.
- the default window size is 300x300, a large part of which is not even rendered into, so it's not even a good fill rate test
- the entire render step consists of only 21 OpenGL functions calls, of which only 6 are unique. This is not a very good OpenGL API stress test. Something like glean would be better.
So to summarize, glxgears only tests a small part of what you typically see in a 3D game. You could have glxgears FPS performance increase, but your 3D game performance decrease. Likewise, you could have glxgears performance decrease and your 3D game performance increase.

Iyah yang dari website ATi menmag di hidden . Nggak tahu kenapa kok gitu ini dapat full karena aku ambil sendiri link nya hahahatiap ada versi baru pasti aku post ke blog ini kok jadi sante aja pasti up to date hehe
Debunking the Myth (fglrx updates)
Your FPS numbers went up/down after you loaded the latest version! This is not because there was a change in the driver. Since the program is so wild and sensitive to load (since it barely uses any computational power), any 100+ FPS increase or decrease can easily be attributed to a music program or OpenOffice document you have open. You can also wildy change FPS in glxgears by simply unfocusing the window. Want a 1000FPS increase?? UNFOCUS THE WINDOW! Of course this is meaningless, since you can't enjoy Doom3 if you can't see the window.
Debunking the Myth (glxgears is a benchmark)
glxgears is not a benchmark.
You can use it to show that DRI works, but it does not even test that well. There's glxinfo or your Xorg.0.log to tell you if DRI was enabled as well.
And for the people who're wondering why CPU usage is 100%, while glxgears seems to be giving quite a lot of fps: yes, this is normal, because it tries to get the max number of frames per second. Checking CPU usage for glxgears is not a way to see if direct rendering works.
Check fglrx install status
# fglrxinfo # glxinfo # vi /var/log/Xorg.0.log # dmesg
Use any of those commands to view the status of the fglrx module. Did it initilize correctly? Did it load DRI? Look in those files. If glxinfo reports direct rendering as "no" or the OpenGL renderer as "Mesa", then you are currently using software (un-accelerated) rendering.
Real Benchmarks
I simply want to tell you that I'm all new to blioggng and truly savored you're web blog. Most likely I'm likely to bookmark your website . You absolutely come with terrific article content. Cheers for sharing with us your website.

Farm Bill Full of Corporate Welfare
Big spending on small part of economy
There are two things to keep in mind regarding the $1 trillion farm bill that President Obama recently signed into law at Michigan State University.
First, agriculture is a small component of both the U.S. and Michigan economies. According to the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis, the U.S. economy produced $16.2 trillion worth of output in 2012. Farming comprised $167 billion of this total, or about 1 percent. Only 1.5 percent of workers are employed in agriculture and related industries.
Stay Engaged
In Michigan, total economic output was about $400 billion in 2012, with farming constituting $4 billion of the total, or about 1 percent. Note that these Michigan figures actually inflate farming's size because, unlike the national economy, the numbers for Michigan also include forestry, fishing and hunting, activities not usually thought of as "farming."
The recent signing of the Farm Bill means that the federal government just committed to spend $1 trillion over 10 years to subsidize a tiny component of the economy that employs relatively few Americans.
Contrast farming with manufacturing. Nationwide, manufacturing output was $1.1 trillion in 2012, making up 6.7 percent of the economy. In Michigan, manufacturing output was $66.2 billion in 2012, or 16.5 percent of the state's economy. Moreover, 8.7 percent of American workers are employed in manufacturing and the same is true for 13.7 percent of Michigan workers. We still manufacture a lot of output in both the United States in Michigan. Yet, we are able to do it without a $1 trillion manufacturing bill!
Second, consider the direction of the subsidies in the farm bill. According to the New Republic, the bottom 80 percent of farmers, the so-called "mom-and-pop" farmers that are romanticized in popular culture, receive an average of $5,000 in subsidies a year. The subsidies largely take the form of government-subsidized crop insurance. In contrast, many large corporate farms collect upwards of $100,000 each and some get more than $1 million in subsidies, as there are no income limits to receiving the subsidies.
And how are these subsidies paid for? The Farm Bill reduces the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (or "SNAP," which is more widely known as "food stamps") by approximately $8 billion over 10 years. This translates into a roughly $90 per month cut to those lower income households that are affected. The increase in the subsidized crop insurance program described above costs $7 billion over 10 years.
These two points give credence to the view that this farm bill is really bad public policy. But this should also give pause to those who believe that only government can mitigate income inequality, as many politicians claim to want to do. As the farm bill case illustrates, these same politicians at times work directly against this goal.

The smallest player on the court Thursday night was the best.
The smallest player on the court Thursday night was the best.
Led by lightning-quick, 5-foot-4 junior point guard Valencia McFarland's 24 points, 10 assists and three steals — all game-high marks — visiting Ole Miss surprised Florida, 88-81, before an O'Connell Center crowd of 901, giving the Rebels (8-11, 1-5) their first Southeastern Conference win of the year while handing the Gators (13-7, 2-4) their third consecutive home league loss.
"Valencia is a dynamic point guard," Ole Miss coach Brett Frank said. "She has the ability to take a game over. I thought she did that tonight."
UF had dropped its previous two contests on its season-long, three-game SEC homestand to ranked opponents Tennessee (78-75, OT) and South Carolina (52-44) by a combined 11 points. While those losses were tough, they weren't as unexpected as Thursday night's defeat in which UF surrendered 50 first-half points to an Ole Miss team that came in averaging just 67 points a game.
"We just got outplayed in about every category today, which is certainly my fault," UF coach Amanda Butler said. "I clearly didn't do a good job of getting my team ready, but you've got to give Ole Miss a lot of credit for the way that they came here with confidence."
The Rebels, who placed five players in double figures, finished the game with a season-high 11 3-pointers, including an almost perfect 9-for-10 effort in the opening 20 minutes that helped Ole Miss build a 17-point lead, 50-33, with 1:28 left in the first half before junior point guard Jaterra Bonds, who finished with 16 points, scored the last six points of the half to pull the Gators within 50-39 at the break.
UF did make several runs at the Rebels in the second half, getting within 68-63 on a Carlie Needles' 3-pointer with 8:35 left, within four (72-68) with 5:25 remaining on an offensive putback by senior Jennifer George and finally within three, 76-73, with 3:30 to play on a layup by redshirt sophomore Kayla Lewis, who led the Gators with a career-high 23 points and shared team-high rebounding honors with freshman Sydney Moss (seven each).
But McFarland hit a layup and, following a UF miss, grabbed the rebound, was fouled and connected on both free throws to extend the Ole Miss lead to seven, 80-73, with 2:38 remaining.
Two free throws by Moss, who finished with 12 points, cut the deficit to five, but McFarland sliced through the UF defense for another layup and then hit one of two from the charity stripe following another Gator miss to put the Rebels up 83-75 with only 1:06 left.
UF had one final gasp. Lewis scored after a steal to make it 87-81 with 15 seconds left, and an Ole Miss offensive foul on the ensuing inbounds play gave the ball back to Florida. Freshman January Miller, who finished with 14 points to give UF four players in double figures, was fouled on a 3-point attempt with14.3 ticks on the clock, but proceeded to miss all three of her free throws, with the Rebels' Monique Jackson securing the rebound and hitting one of two from the charity stripe after being fouled to close out the scoring.
The Rebels, who were coming off a tough 73-72 home SEC loss to Missouri and are playing under a self-imposed postseason ban following the dismissal of former head coach Adrian Wiggins during the school's investigation into recruiting violations, were looking for something positive and got it.
Meanwhile the Gators, who shot just 38.5 percent from the field (30-of-78) and were only 3-for-14 behind the arc, are looking for answers.
"We dug ourselves a big hole in the first half," said Lewis, who was 9-of-13 from the field. "We came back and got within a few points, but it was very frustrating."
UF plays four of its next five SEC games on the road starting with Sunday's tilt at No. 14 Georgia.

If you spend long enough on this forum, you'll come away with all sorts of weird, untrue ideas of Orthodox Christianity.
I would suggest most persons in general avoid any question beginning with why.
The Assistant to the Vicar General of the AWRV posted a somewhat tongue-in-cheek post on Facebook about the differences between East and West. Thought I'd pass it along Here's one way to capture the difference between Western and Eastern Christians:Western: Merry ChristmasEastern: May you have a glorious and joyful and blessed Feast of the Nativity of Our Lord and God and Savior Jesus Christ, to whom belongs all glory, honor and worship, with His Father who is without beginning and His All-Holy, Good, and Life-Creating Spirit, now and ever and unto the ages of ages.

Sexy Gilles Marini made it all the way to the Dancing with the Stars finals but lost to Olympic gymnast Shawn Johnson. Though he complained about his injured shoulder, he never stopped dancing and this led many people to believe the injury was exaggerated.
"A lot of people thought I was joking. No, no. It was bad. A lot of damage to my shoulder," says the 33-year-old, who was later diagnosed with tendonitis and recently underwent surgery at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles.
"I had an outpatient procedure and the surgeon discovered there was a lot more damage than what we originally thought," Marini told PEOPLE. The surgery was successful and according to the physician he should fully recover in three weeks.
Marini was asked about plans for the summer- He plans on taking his family to France for a couple of weeks before returning to the states to accept some acting roles. He already confirmed he will be playing Rachel Griffith's love interest on Brothers and Sisters next season.
Even though he lost on the show, he certainly feels like a winner. "My son [Georges] made a trophy for me. It has four lines on it and the first letters of each line are D-W-T-S," Marini says proudly. "The first line says 'Daddy, you're the best.' The second line is 'With all my love.' The third line is 'Ten-Eleven-Ten,' because Len [Goodman] joked he wished he could give me an eleven. And the last line is 'so proud, Georges.' This is what it's all about."
Lastly, Marini says "For me it was never about winning or losing. After I made it to week five – I am not a dancer and I went that far on a dancing show – I felt like a winner in my heart."

In his study, Yaroslav Trofimov tries to re-evaluate an event which is seen as central in the development of militant Islamism: the attack carried out by a group of Saudi extremists in November 1979 on the Qaaba in Mecca. Joseph Croitoru has read the book
Yaroslav Trofimov's research is exemplary and he has spoken to many people who were involved at the time. He concludes that the ideological motor for the attack on the Qaaba in Mecca in November 1979 was a clever political instrumentalisation of the belief in the Mahdi, the Muslim Messiah.
At the end of the seventies, a secretive group of messianically oriented Saudis had convinced their followers that one of their leaders was the Mahdi. However, the man they selected – the poet Mohammed Abdullah – had himself to be convinced by the chief ideologist of the group, the Bedouin Juhayman al-Uteybi, that he really was the Messiah.
Obsession with belief in the Mahdi
Trofimov finds the roots for Al-Uteybi's extremism not just in his obsession with the Mahdi, but also in the radical Wahhabism of the Bedouin tribes which were defeated by the Saudi royal family when it founded the state.
There was also a personal connection for Juhayman: his father, Mohammed Ibn Seif al-Uteybi, was one of the Wahhabi Bedouin fighters who, in March 1929, suffered a devastating defeat at the hands of the troops of the Al Saud tribe, which was soon to take over power in the country.
Traditional enmity towards the royal Al Saud family, rigid piety and a lack of state provision – all these prepared the ground on which Juhayman's radicalism could flourish. In addition, there was dissatisfaction among many young Saudis, many of whom had traumatic experience of the repressive Saudi regime. For example, when he was working as a student in a hospital in Riyadh, the future "Mahdi," Mohammed Abdullah, was tortured by the police until he finally admitted to a theft he had not committed but of which he was accused by the police. The real thief was discovered by chance later.
Similar developments in Egypt
Influence from outside also played a role in the radicalisation of these young Saudis. Trofimov points out that Egyptian Islamists living in Saudi Arabia also joined the Saudi conspirators.
But, by claiming that the attack on Mecca was in effect the birth of Islamic terror, the author ignores the fact that Egyptian radicals had turned to violence in the name of religion decades earlier, and his study underestimates the effects of the influential Islamist teachings of the Egyptian Sayyid Qutb, who had much earlier drawn on radical Islamist arguments to call the legitimacy of Arab heads of state into question.
Juhayman's arguments were indeed very similar to those of Sayyid Qutb. Like Qutb in Egypt in his day, Juhayman also accused the rulers of his country of corrupt and un-Islamic behaviour.
The vision of global revolution
But it was particularly with his vision of a world-wide Islamic Revolution that al-Uteybi was able to inspire his followers, among them many ex-soldiers and students.
This revolution was to be initiated with the violent takeover of the holy quarter of Mecca on November 20th, 1979 – at the turn of a new millennium in the Muslim calendar.
Trofimov tells the story clearly of how the rebels, who were well equipped militarily, were able to keep up energetic resistance for several weeks against the Saudi security forces, whose response was almost amateur.
Help from France
The attack came as a complete surprise to the Saudi leadership, who at the time were worrying about the effects of the Islamic Revolution in Iran. The Saudi government was concerned about its reputation: it imposed an immediate news embargo and won the permission of Saudi Islamic legal scholars to allow the storming of the holy sites with the support of French terror experts.
It was the French who coordinated the decisive gas attack, carried out mainly by Saudi soldiers, against the rebels as they were holed up in the catacombs of the great mosque in Mecca.
Even if the "Siege of Mecca" was by no means the incident which gave birth to Islamist terror, it certainly did have a considerable influence. But how far Osama bin Laden and Al-Qaeda were inspired by it, as the author suggests, remains unclear and requires further research.
