Development Resources
Users: Contributing To A Project
- Quick Start -- Contributing Project Code Interested in contributing code. Awesome! This is how to get started.
- How To Behave Practical advice on how to ask questions, report bugs, and be generally successful in your interactions with an Open Source Project.
- Reporting Bugs. All Eclipse projects use Bugzilla to track bugs and features. Please read the Bug Reporting FAQ and then sign up for a bugzilla account to join in the fun.
- Getting Answers. Mailing lists are for development team conversations; newsgroups and IRC are for the larger user and adopter community and thus are the correct place to ask for help.
- Downloads. Get binaries from the main downloads page. Click through to the project pages for integration, milestone, and nightly builds.
- Source Code. Get the source code from Git.
- Contribute! The best way to contribute to a project is to contribute (sorry for the recursion). Pick a bug from a project that interests you, build a fix, and contribute it to the bug as a patch. If you're not sure how to start, ask questions on the bug, or communicate with the project via their communication channel (normally a forum).
- IP Due Diligence for Contributions. Certain processes must be followed. Dotting the i's and crossing the t's. It all starts with the Intellectual Property content in the handbook, but there's a little something more (or less) for projects that use Git or Gerrit.
- Project Leads should be familiar with the list of approved (and unapproved) Third Party Content Licenses
- Contributing via Git. Contributing to an Eclipse project using Git or Gerrit.

I have really been enjoying Thai curries ever since I discovered them about a year ago. At first I started with simple curries using store bought curry paste. I have been slowly adding more authentic ingredients as I have been finding sources for them. A while ago I made my first curry paste, a penang curry . Though I had been planning to make the classic red curry paste I was distracted by the peanuts in penang curry and I made that instead. I had been craving some curry lately and now was the time to try making the red curry paste. One of the things that I like about Thai curry pastes is that they contain a lot of fresh ingredients. You should be able to find all of the ingredients at your local Asian grocery store. Thai curry pastes are pretty easy to make; You just mash everything in a mortar and pestle or you could make it even easier and use a food processor. This time I soaked the dried red chili peppers in some lime juice to soften them up a bit so that they could be ground into smaller pieces more easier. The curry paste keeps well in the freezer for a couple of months so you can freeze the extra paste in single serving amounts (one or two tablespoons) for easy use later on.
Thai curries are pretty simple as well; You just need some curry paste, coconut milk, meat and/or vegetables, fish sauce, palm sugar and possibly some fresh herbs and chilies. To bring out the full flavour of the curry paste you are going to want to saute it a bit before adding the other ingredients. You can saute it in some oil or you could use the thicker part of the coconut milk from the top of the can. Saute it until it is nice and fragrant, about a minute or two, before adding the rest of the coconut milk and the other ingredients.
Red Curry Paste
- 10 dried red chilies (toasted)
- 1 kaffir lime (or lime, juice and zest)
- 4 tablespoons shallots (chopped)
- 3 tablespoons garlic (chopped)
- 2 tablespoons galangal (or ginger, chopped)
- 2 tablespoons lemongrass (peeled, lower 2 inches)
- 1 tablespoon cilantro root
- 1 teaspoon white peppercorns (toasted and ground)
- 2 teaspoons coriander seeds (toasted and ground)
- 1 teaspoon cumin seeds (toasted and ground)
- 1 tablespoon shrimp paste
- Soak the dried red chilies in the lime juice for 30 minutes.
- Mash everything with a mortar and pestle or puree everything in a food processor.

One day after fellow Republicans in the House ensured passage of his version of a 2013 federal budget, there are reports that Wisconsin Rep. Paul Ryan is about to endorse Mitt Romney's bid for the GOP presidential nomination.
The Associated Press says it has been told by two Republican officials that "Ryan's endorsement could come as soon as Friday, when Romney is scheduled to give an economic speech in Appleton, Wis."
CNN reports it has been told the same thing by "two sources with knowledge of the endorsement."
Wisconsin holds its presidential primary on Tuesday. As we reported earlier this week, it's another in what have been a series of possible "tipping points" that could help Romney's campaign against main rival Rick Santorum. In two recent polls of Wisconsin Republicans, Romney had the advantage.
Thursday in Houston, Romney picked up the endorsement of former President George H.W. Bush, who said it's time for the Republican Party to close ranks around the former Massachusetts governor.
For ongoing coverage of the 2012 presidential campaign, check the It's All Politics blog and our Election 2012 webpage.
Update at 9 a.m. ET. It's official:
" 'I think he deserves to be the nominee. I think he earned it. He has emerged as the best candidate,' said Ryan in an interview with the Journal Sentinel, also arguing that it's time for 'conservatives to coalesce around Romney' before the primaries take too much of a toll."

Official: Two Parts for "Deathly Hallows" Movie, David Yates to Direct Both Films
Mar 12, 2008
Big News everyone! The L.A Times is reporting an exclusive today: Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows will be made in two films, "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1" , and "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part II. Furthermore, the paper cites producer David Heyman confirming the return of David Yates as director for both films, with Steven Kloves to finish out his duties as screenwriter for both Harry Potter movies as well. The movies are to be filmed at the same time, and will be released several months apart, with Part One due November 2010, and Part Two, May 2011.
Update: The article has additional information now, with quotes from producer David Heyman on his conversation with Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling on splitting the book into two films. "Heyman said he approached Rowling with some trepidation about the strategy but found that she signed off on its logic rather quickly. "I went to Jo and she was cool with it," Heyman said, "and that was quite a relief."
The newspaper continues saying "Producer David Heyman said the decision was made with some anxiety and only after considerable deliberations. The producer joked that "while my wife and Warner Brothers were pleased" to hear that the Potter movie magic will continue into the next decade, he himself fretted that the cynical observers would see the decision as a purely mercenary move."I swear to you it was born out of purely creative reasons," Heyman said during an interview in a converted airplane factory outside London that has been home base to all of the "Potter" productions. "Unlike every other book, you cannot remove elements of this book. You can remove scenes of Ron playing quidditch from the fifth book, and you can remove Hermione and S.P.E.W. [Society for the Promotion of Elfish Welfare] and those subplots . . . but with the seventh, that can't be done."
Actor Dan Radcliffe who portrays Harry Potter in the film is quoted as saying "I think it's the only way you can do it without cutting out a huge portion of the book," Radcliffe said recently during a break on the set of "Half-Blood Prince," the sixth "Potter" film, which is due in theaters on Nov. 21. "There have been compartmentalized subplots in the other books that have made them easier to cut – although those cuts were still to the horror of some fans- but the seventh book doesn't really have any subplots. It's one driving, pounding story from the word go."
Of interest to many fans is the spot in the book where the films will break, and producer David Heyman addresses this as he notes: "The question will be, where do you break it? And how do you make them one but two separate and distinct stories? Do you break it with a moment of suspense or one of resolution? These are the interesting challenges. But each book has presented its challenges."
Warner Bros. Chairman Alan Horn and Jeff Robinov, president of Warner Bros. Pictures Group, are expected to discuss the new plans for "Potter" on Thursday during a presentation at ShoWest, the convention of movie exhibitors in Las Vegas.
UPDATE 2The LA Times has a second story now online, containing new comments from WB Chair Alan Horn on the decision to split and the additional film time for the story "This way, we have an extra hour and a half, at least, to celebrate what this franchise has been and do justice to all the words and ideas that Jo has put in the amazing story," Horn said. "This is the end of the story too. We want to celebrate it. We want to give a full meal." Mr Horn continued on, remarking about the epilogue to "Deathly Hallows" regarding the beloved trio and how that would be translated to the big screen. "Horn said that particular denouement has the filmmakers fretting about how to keep the young familiar stars on the screen just before it goes dark. "That," Horn said, "is something we will need to deal with. People have watched these kids grow up, and it's been very special to do so. That's important to us."
Thanks much to the LA Times, Jimbo, and TML!

My three-day NBA Draft lead-up coverage begins today. I have a handful of posts planned. I'll do Durant vs. Oden today, because that deserves its own day. I'll do a hodge-podge of storylines tomorrow. I'll post my mock draft on Thursday. Check back (or your Reader). Meanwhile...
Kevin Garnett to the Lakers? It would be great for Kobe, but yesterday's sizzling trade rumor – four teams – is today's squashed idea, because one of those teams – Boston – apparently didn't like that they were "only" getting Jermaine O'Neal.
Hey, the Celtics are the misguided fools who want to "win now." I thought the T'wolves were about to come out as the big winners, landing Al Jefferson and the Celtics' No. 5 pick, to go with their own No. 7 pick.
Regardless of who
Blazers trying to trade LaMarcus Aldridge? That would suggest they are taking Greg Oden, to pair with Zach Randolph (rather than Kevin Durant, to pair with Zach Randolph).
Want to read the most refreshingly honest draft analysis I've seen all year? Check out ex-Penn center Stephen Danley's piece from the New York Times.
Oh, and here's something kind of funny: If NBA teams were drafting sports bloggers instead of players. I fell out of the Lottery to the Lakers at No. 19. (However, I would get to fulfill my dream by creating the "Bar-mitzvah Backcourt" with Kobe Jordan Farmar.)
Chauncey Billups is a free agent: If he wants to win, he should stay with the Pistons. If he wants to be more of The Man, he should go to another team. The Pistons are on the way down, not up.
NFL: The most must-see NFL moment of the offseason between the Draft and the first week of training camp comes today when Congress holds its hearings into the NFL's sketchy history handling player disability.
Bears cut Tank Johnson: Who didn't see this coming? But you have to wonder: If this happened during the reign of Paul "Let It Slide" Tagliabue rather than Roger "Get Tough" Goodell, would the Bears have cut him? I think not.
Club bouncer sues Pac-Man: Adding insult to injury (or vice versa... at this point with Jones, I've lost track), he's being sued by the strip-club bouncer who says Jones bit him back in February.
MLB Stud, Batter: Shawn Green, who hit the 11th-inning, game-winning, walk-off home run to lead the Mets over the (new-rival) Cardinals last night.
MLB Stud, Pitcher: CC Sabathia, who won his 11th game with a complete-game win over the A's.
MLB Dud: Cristian Guzman. Just when he and the Nats had it together in hopeful way, he goes out for the season with that injured thumb.
TV Watch: "Shaq's Big Challenge." Cynical NBA fans may scoff, but if Shaq can do anything to erode the grip of childhood obesity that is one of this country's biggest epidemics, I'll stand up and cheer him. Speaking of bad eating habits...
Kobayashi is out of the Hot Dog Eating Contest! Apparently, arthritis means he can barely open his mouth. Knowing about the guys who are run the competitive eating league, this is a dubious as the WWE's "death" of Vince McMahon.
Speaking of Kevin Durant, he'll be on the cover of EA's NCAA Madness '08. Like Adam Morrison a year ago, he was the most dynamic player of the previous season, but – actually IN March – his team underachieved.
(Update: I just saw the picture of Durant they used on the cover of the game. I hope that's a placeholder, because otherwise? Worst. Cover Image. Ever.)R.I.P. Chris Benoit, his wife and his 7-year-old son, found dead Monday. Condolences to family, friends and fans of the pro-wrestling superstar and his family, who were killed under extremely mysterious circumstances that are sure to continue to be a huge story. UPDATE: Murder-suicide? Cripes, that is horrifying.

If you really want to pay it forward, but feel like you don't have the time or the funds, consider this: you can actually turn your workout into a way to help those in need.
Check out these suggestions from Women's Health (womenshealthmag.com).
Charity Miles
If you usually track your walks, runs, or bike rides on a GPS watch or app, you'll love Charity Miles. The phone app lets you select a charity from a list to "donate" your miles to. Activate the app whenever you lace up your running shoes or hop on your bike, and exercise as usual. Then, for every mile you walk or run, corporate sponsors will donate 25 cents to your chosen charity. For every mile you ride, they'll donate 10 cents. So the more you sweat, the more you give.
Workout Mission
This site is just what anyone trying to exercise more regularly needs. On Workout Mission (workoutmission.org) you set a minimum weekly workout goal and choose from one of five featured "missions" (think: charities like The Special Olympics or Big Brothers Big Sisters) to donate to. When you work out—whether it's by lifting weights or doing a fitness class—you log it in the calendar. Once you complete 10 workouts, you can donate $10 to your selected mission. You'll get a receipt for every donation you make.
Get your entire office in on the sweaty charitable giving by using Plus3. This tool is designed to help companies motivate their employees to live healthy lifestyles through donation goals and friendly competition. You and your coworkers can download the app and sync up your fitness trackers to compete for leaderboard standing and donation goals. You'll track your nutrition, fitness activities, and more to earn points toward prizes and donations.
Sweat for STF
She's the First sponsors young girls around the world, and helps them gain access to education. With their #SweatforSTF campaign, you can create a fundraising page as you work toward a fitness goal, whether it's to run a marathon or complete 100 days of yoga. You'll set a fundraising goal and invite friends and family to make donations. When you hit your fundraising goal, you'll be matched with a girl whose education you've sponsored. You can also create a fundraising page as a team and fundraise with coworkers or in memory of a shared loved one.

House Republicans intent on highlighting the woes of President Barack Obama's health care law need to look no further than their own back yards, some of which are traditionally liberal strongholds.
Maryland's online health care exchange has been plagued by computer glitches since its rollout last year, reflected in abysmal enrollment numbers well below projections through January. The state's lone Republican in Congress, Rep. Andy Harris, has asked the inspector general of the federal Health and Human Services Department to investigate.
In Oregon, the online portal has struggled to sign up a single individual, and Republican Rep. Greg Walden recently sent a letter to the Government Accountability Office pressing for an inquiry. Officials in both states insist they are working to fix the problems.
"Everybody's pointing fingers at everyone else, so we have no idea why this went wrong," Harris, who was an anesthesiologist at Johns Hopkins Hospital for 30 years, said in a recent interview.
Unified in their opposition to the law, Republicans have been relentless in focusing on its problems, from complaints of canceled policies to higher insurance premiums and Obama's unilateral decision to delay for two years the requirement that small businesses cover employees.
The GOP effort has intensified this election year as Republicans look to capitalize on dissatisfaction with the law, turning voter dismay into November victories. The ill effect of "Obamacare" is the GOP's constant refrain.
Nearly 3.3 million Americans have enrolled through the federal and state marketplaces as the federal online site worked out the problems of its disastrous rollout, a recent sign of promise for the 4-year-old law.
A silver lining for Democrats in the recent enrollment numbers is the actual sign-ups exceeding projected totals in New Hampshire, North Carolina, Michigan and Colorado, according to the January figures. Three of those states have Senate Democrats who voted for the law and now face re-election — Kay Hagan in North Carolina, Jeanne Shaheen in New Hampshire and Mark Udall in Colorado.
In Michigan, Democratic Rep. Gary Peters is trying to win the open seat currently held by retiring Democratic Sen. Carl Levin.
But local woes have provided fodder for some Republicans, like Harris and Walden, as the GOP looks to maintain its steady drumbeat of criticism.
Maryland is one of 14 states that chose to run its own exchange, but it has been beset by technological problems, reports of ignored warnings before its start Oct. 1 and a price tag that could exceed $250 million in state and federal dollars. Even Democratic officials have raised the possibility of perhaps abandoning the state operation and switching to the federal online site to sign up individuals.
In the meantime, Harris and Rep. Jack Kingston, R-Ga., two members of the House Appropriations Committee, wrote to HHS Inspector General Daniel Levinson on Feb. 12 requesting an investigation "into the flagrant waste and abuse of taxpayer monies that were spent and are continuing to be spent for the creation of the Maryland health insurance exchange and online marketplace."
As of January, the most recent enrollment numbers show Maryland signed up 29,059, far fewer than its target of 93,000.
In Oregon, the state exchange website known as Cover Oregon is still plagued with problems, with individuals unable to compare policies and sign up. More than $300 million in federal grants to the state have gone to the website and its future is in doubt.
Walden, who chairs the committee to elect Republicans to the House, along with Rep. Fred Upton, R-Mich., chairman of the House Energy and Commerce Committee, sent a letter Feb. 12 to the GAO seeking an investigation.
The state exchange "has been such a technological failure that even now, months after the start of the open enrollment period, the site is unable to enroll anyone," Walden and Upton wrote.
As of January, 33,808 had signed up for health insurance in Oregon, nowhere near the projected goal of 146,940.
Republicans and outside groups have seized on problems with the law to pummel Democrats who voted for "Obamacare," as the GOP looks to increase its majority in the House and grab control of the Senate. In Oregon, first-term Sen. Jeff Merkley has defended the law at town halls and is certain to face more challenges on the issue. He has said he is working on legislation to fix the law.
His likely Republican opponent is Monica Wehby, a pediatric neurosurgeon who has been critical of "Obamacare."
In the next eight months before the election, Republicans who call the shots in the House will cast a harsh spotlight on the law through hearings and narrowly focused legislation designed to divide Democrats. The GOP has done it this year with bills requiring the Obama administration to report weekly on how many Americans have signed up for health care coverage and a measure bolting new security requirements on the law.
One bill drew the support of 33 Democrats; the other attracted 67 Democrats who bucked the administration.
Last year, House Republicans voted more than 40 times to repeal, replace or gut the law, and strong GOP opposition to "Obamacare" precipitated the 16-day partial government shutdown last fall that was a political blow to Republicans.
Since recovered, Republicans say privately they are unlikely to push for full repeal in light of the law's popular elements, such as insurance for individuals even with an existing condition and allowing children to remain on their parents' plans until age 26. Also, Republicans have been unable to unify around an alternative to health care plan.

The Fedora Special Interest Groups (SIGs) are teams within the Fedora Project that do not meet the Project definition from the Defining projects page. The SIGs are sometimes a first stage in the development of new projects within the Fedora Project.
Introduction to some SIGs
Maintainers of Ada packages in Fedora are strongly encouraged to subscribe to the Fedora Ada mailing list. Anyone else who is interested is also welcome to subscribe.
Amateur Radio
Goal of Amateur Radio group is to improve the Fedora collection by adding packages for amateur radio (Ham Radio) operators and SWLs.
Goal of Fedora Astronomy group is to gather people interested to improve support for astronomers and astrophysicists.
Audio Creation
Our goal is to make Fedora the best free/open-source platform for computer-based music production, audio mastering, and audio editing.
Bug Triage
Fedora Bug Triage attempts to manage the flow of bug reports filed against other Fedora projects. They stand to prevent the other project members being overwhelmed by bug reports, eliminating trivial bugs, removing or correcting flawed or inadequate reports, and making sure that maintainers are able to get things done.
The Fedora Cloud SIG works to make Fedora successful on all major cloud platforms, public and private.
The Desktop SIG strives to make Fedora a very good desktop distribution. The goal is to produce a more targeted desktop spin while maintaining traditional Fedora strengths such as security and commitment to free software. The Desktop SIG will develop and release the "Fedora Desktop" live CD
The mission of the Fedora Education SIG (Edu SIG) is to optimize Fedora for use by teachers and learners, both within and outside of the context of educational institutions.
We do this by building, maintaining, and evangelizing a strong ecosystem of educational packages within Fedora and by supporting learners in using these packages as tools to reach their curricular goals.
EPEL (Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux) is targeted at filling the gap between the complete Fedora Collection and the packages that are maintained in Enterprise Linux. We are a community of individuals focusing on package maintenance and infrastructure to provide as many packages as possible to the consumers of Enterprise Linux. The EPEL SIG is led by a steering committee.
The mission of the Erlang SIG is to encourage the packaging of Erlang projects in Fedora.
FLTG (Fedora Language Testing Group) takes care of the Fedora testing activities: take initiative to conduct the Fedora test days, update necessary wiki pages, prepare test cases, get things coordinated and organized for the testers.
The Fonts Special Interest Group is an informal group of Fedora Linux contributors. It is dedicated to improving fonts availability and text rendering/layouting in the distribution and its other Linux derivatives.
Join us and help:
Activity | OS Developer | Translator | Content Writer | Designer | People Person |
Any font or text-related activity can be tackled, as long as the result is free/libre and compatible with the Fedora objectives.
The current SIG task list is published here.
Formal Methods
"Formal methods" are techniques that use mathematics to prove that models of software, hardware, or systems will or will not have certain behaviors. To be practical, they must be automated using tools. The goal of the Formal Methods SIG is to make it easy to install formal methods tools in Fedora, ease learning how to apply them, encourage the development of "open proofs" (where an implementation, proofs, and required tools are all FLOSS), and to provide feedback to toolmakers so that the tools in Fedora can become more powerful, more scaleable, and easier to use together.
Goal of Games SIG is to make Fedora the best Free software and open source gaming platform there is for both developers and users.
Geographic Information System
GIS is an initiative aimed to pack GIS technology related OSS in Fedora/EPEL and turn Fedora/EPEL to be the best chioce for a GIS platform.
Independent Software Vendor (ISV)
The ISV can be anything from a one- or two-man shop to a software design and development powerhouse. Fedora is a great platform for showing off your product, especially to community developers who might be interested in contributing code, plugins, or feedback.
The Java SIG is a group of Fedora contributors that contribute towards Java in Fedora. Their mission is to provide high-quality Java applications and environment to Fedora users and developers and to support each other in the maintenance.
The KDE SIG is a group of Fedora contributors that maintain KDE packages in Fedora. Their mission is to provide high-quality, usable KDE software packages to Fedora users and developers and to support one another in maintaining those packages.
Live DVD
Our Mission is to provide a stable Live DVD per stable release of Fedora.
Live Upgrade
If you want to participate in efforts to make live upgrades smoother, join the Live Upgrade SIG.
The LXDE SIG is a group of Fedora contributors that contribute towards LXDE in Fedora. Their mission is to define a high-quality LXDE experience to Fedora users and developers in maintaining packages and helping each other in all LXDE related efforts.
Fedora Medical
The Fedora Medical is a group of Fedora contributors that are interested in having a dedicated spin/application bundle to be used by the healthcare and medical community.
The Fedora Mobolity SIG is a group of Fedora contributors that are interested in Fedora on small devices. Initially aimed at supporting NetBooks, Mobile Internet Devices (MIDs), Tablets etc. It could over time be expanded to also cover things such as Set Top Boxes (STBs).
The Mono SIG is a group of Fedora contributors that maintain Mono (and related) packages in Fedora. Their goal is to provide high-quality and usable mono software packages to Fedora users and developers and to support one another in maintaining those packages.
The NoSQL SIG is a group of Fedora contributors that maintain NoSQL-related packages in Fedora. Their goal is to provide high-quality and usable NoSQL software packages to Fedora users and developers and to support one another in maintaining those packages.
Package Review
This SIG is currently in its infancy and things are still being organized. The job is to process new package review submissions and review them for quality and adherence to the Packaging Guidelines. As this is the initial experience for many new contributors to the Fedora Project, we also work towards making this procedure as enjoyable as possible. Anyone is welcome to join. Obviously it is necessary for one to already be a packager in order to review packages, but there are many tasks that can be done by anyone, and participation in the SIG is a good path to sponsorship.
The Fedora Printing Project's goal is to create a good printing experience on Fedora.
The goal is to bring packages of open and free software related to robotics and educational software for robotics into Fedora and make Fedora fit to power (mobile) robots. Fedora Robotics SIG
Ruby SIG
A SIG for people who are interested in improving the state of Ruby in Fedora. This includes packaging Ruby libraries and applications, setting and improving standards for packaging them as RPM's and maintaining Ruby packages for Fedora.
Science and Technology
The purpose of the Fedora Sci-Tech SIG is to improve the number and quality of packages available for scientific and technical users.
Fedora Science and Technology SIG
Secondary Arches
The purpose of the Secondary arch SIGS are to promote fedora on different architectures.
Currently there are teams for:
Our goal is to make Fedora suitable for server deployments and the perfect base for enterprise systems like RHEL.
We are to create free sound themes for fedora, using only FOSS software available from the Fedora repositories.
A SIG for technical review of Spins contributed by the community.
Stateless Linux
The Stateless Linux project is an OS-wide initiative to ensure that Fedora computers can be set up as replaceable appliances, with no important local state.
A SIG devoted to getting a store running, both for users looking for one-off purchases and for Ambassadors who need swag in bulk.
Fedora Usability aims to provide coherence, accessibility and intuitiveness for all people using Fedora and its associated resources.
The Fedora Xfce SIG works on the integration of the Xfce desktop environment. The aim is to establish Xfce as desktop environment besides GNOME and KDE.

This entire Tsarnaev family is one big bucket of cow manure. The father, the mother and obviously the two sons…
This cancer known as Islam must be eradicated before these mental cripples succeed in destroying our society. I have no clue how to eliminate this criminal mentality that Muslims harbor, but for starters we need to stop defending Islam and seeing it for what it is, a severly derranged ideology. TGO
Refer to story below. Source: Associated Press
By EILEEN SULLIVAN and MATT APUZZO | Associated Press
WASHINGTON (AP) — Russian authorities secretly recorded a telephone conversation in 2011 in which one of the Boston bombing suspects vaguely discussed jihad with his mother, officials said Saturday, days after the U.S. government finally received details about the call.
In another conversation, the mother of now-dead bombing suspect Tamerlan Tsarnaev was recorded talking to someone in southern Russia who is under FBI investigation in an unrelated case, officials said.
The conversations are significant because, had they been revealed earlier, they might have been enough evidence for the FBI to initiate a more thorough investigation of the Tsarnaev family.
As it was, Russian authorities told the FBI only that they had concerns that Tamerlan and his mother were religious extremists. With no additional information, the FBI conducted a limited inquiry and closed the case in June 2011.
Two years later, authorities say Tamerlan and his brother, Dzhohkar, detonated two homemade bombs near the finish line of the Boston Marathon, killing three and injuring more than 260. Tamerlan was killed in a police shootout and Dzhohkar is under arrest.
In the past week, Russian authorities turned over to the United States information it had on Tamerlan and his mother, Zubeidat Tsarnaeva. The Tsarnaevs are ethnic Chechens who emigrated from southern Russia to the Boston area over the past 11 years.
Even had the FBI received the information from the Russian wiretaps earlier, it's not clear that the government could have prevented the attack.
In early 2011, the Russian FSB internal security service intercepted a conversation between Tamerlan and his mother vaguely discussing jihad, according to U.S. officials who spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the investigation with reporters.
The two discussed the possibility of Tamerlan going to Palestine, but he told his mother he didn't speak the language there, according to the officials, who reviewed the information Russia shared with the U.S.
In a second call, Zubeidat Tsarnaeva spoke with a man in the Caucasus region of Russia who was under FBI investigation. Jacqueline Maguire, a spokeswoman for the FBI's Washington Field Office, where that investigation was based, declined to comment.
There was no information in the conversation that suggested a plot inside the United States, officials said.
It was not immediately clear why Russian authorities didn't share more information at the time. It is not unusual for countries, including the U.S., to be cagey with foreign authorities about what intelligence is being collected.
The FSB said Sunday that it would not comment.
Jim Treacy, the FBI's legal attache in Moscow between 2007 and 2009, said the Russians long asked for U.S. assistance regarding Chechen activity in the United States that might be related to terrorism.
"On any given day, you can get some very good cooperation," Treacy said. "The next you might find yourself totally shut out."
Zubeidat Tsarnaeva has denied that she or her sons were involved in terrorism. She has said she believed her sons have been framed by U.S. authorities.
But Ruslan Tsarni, an uncle of the Tsarnaev brothers and Zubeidat's former brother-in-law, said Saturday he believes the mother had a "big-time influence" as her older son increasingly embraced his Muslim faith and decided to quit boxing and school.
After receiving the narrow tip from Russia in March 2011, the FBI opened a preliminary investigation into Tamerlan and his mother. But the scope was extremely limited under the FBI's internal procedures.
After a few months, they found no evidence Tamerlan or his mother were involved in terrorism.
The FBI asked Russia for more information. After hearing nothing, it closed the case in June 2011.
In the fall of 2011, the FSB contacted the CIA with the same information. Again the FBI asked Russia for more details and never heard back.
At that time, however, the CIA asked that Tamerlan's and his mother's name be entered into a massive U.S. terrorism database.
The CIA declined to comment Saturday.
Authorities have said they've seen no connection between the brothers and a foreign terrorist group. Dzhohkar told FBI interrogators that he and his brother were angry over wars in Afghanistan and Iraq and the deaths of Muslim civilians there.
Family members have said Tamerlan was religiously apathetic until 2008 or 2009, when he met a conservative Muslim convert known only to the family as Misha. Misha, they said, steered Tamerlan toward a stricter version of Islam.
Two U.S. officials say investigators believe they have identified Misha. While it was not clear whether the FBI had spoken to him, the officials said they have not found a connection between Misha and the Boston attack or terrorism in general.
Associated Press writer Adam Goldman in Washington and Michael Kunzelman in Boston contributed to this report.

Taunt Or Miscalculation? Iran's Provocative Pick For U.N. Envoy
Iran's reported decision to name Hamid Aboutalebi as its ambassador to the United Nations has ignited anger in the U.S. That's because the diplomat was part of the student group that held Americans hostage in 1979. Now, dozens of lawmakers are urging the Obama administration to deny him a visa.
It's the latest sign of just how difficult it will be for Washington and Tehran to overcome decades of mistrust.
By most accounts, Aboutalebi wasn't directly involved in the seizure of the U.S. Embassy in Tehran. He has been quoted as saying he was just an occasional interpreter. But that makes no difference to retired U.S. Air Force Col. David Roeder, who along with 51 other Americans spent 444 harrowing days in captivity in Iran.
"He was not one of those that held a gun to my head. He wasn't one of those who beat me and kicked me and that sort of thing," Roeder says. "But he was there. And he was part of it. And you are a product of your past."
The U.S. State Department calls the potential nomination of Aboutalebi "extremely troubling" and says officials have raised this with Iran. Roeder thinks Iran is testing the Obama administration.
"I have a couple of little grandsons, and they are constantly testing me to see how much they can get away with," he says. "And I think that's exactly what the Iranians are doing to us. They are tweaking our nose to see how much they can get out of the U.S."
Iranian human rights activist Hadi Ghaemi isn't so sure.
"I don't think it was that premeditated," Ghaemi says. "I think it was basically a huge miscalculation by [Iranian President Hassan] Rouhani."
He says Aboutalebi is considered to be a fairly progressive diplomat and a close confidant to Rouhani. And Ghaemi, who runs the New York-based International Campaign for Human Rights in Iran, says he thinks Rouhani saw Aboutalebi as only a marginal player in the hostage drama and didn't expect such a strong reaction to the appointment.
"Those 444 days are so important in the public consciousness [in the U.S.] that anyone who would have cooperated with that process would be implicated and wouldn't be tolerated as an ambassador," Ghaemi says.
He says he now expects Iran to choose someone else to serve at the U.N., Iran's only diplomatic representation in the U.S.
"The key thing is I do hope that Rouhani has a bigger pool of confidants of people who can promote his policy and continue the opening to the U.S. than just this one guy," Ghaemi says
As host nation to the U.N., the U.S. generally has to issue visas to envoys picked by member states. But the U.S. does have some flexibility. And Roeder, the former hostage, says in the case of Aboutalebi, the U.S. should stand its ground.
"It's time to play hardball. It's time to stop the tweaking. It's time to confront the bully," he says.
This dispute highlights how complicated it will be for the U.S. and Iran to turn a page.
One of the senators who wrote to President Obama about Aboutalebi's nomination — Republican Johnny Isakson of Georgia — calls it an insult. Isakson would like to see Iran apologize for the hostage-taking and compensate the victims — though he says he knows that's unlikely.

A federal judge has struck down Utah's ban on same-sex marriage, saying it's unconstitutional.
The 53-page ruling by U.S. District Judge Robert J. Shelby says a 2004 ban passed by the state's voters violates the due process clause of the 14th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.
The Associated Press says:
"Attorneys for the state argued that Utah's law promotes the state's interest in 'responsible procreation' and the 'optimal mode of child-rearing.'
"The lawsuit was brought by three gay and lesbian couples in Utah.
"Many similar court challenges are pending in other states, but Utah's has been closely watched because of the state's history of staunch opposition to gay marriage as the home of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints."
The decision comes amid a recent flurry of states that have either enacted laws allowing gay marriage or been the subject of lawsuits arguing for or against it.
On Thursday, New Mexico's Supreme Court ruled unanimously that gay marriage was legal there, making it the 17th state to allow it (along with the District of Columbia).
And last month, Hawaii and Illinois both approved same-sex marriage.

A 19-year Army veteran was given a summons and told to leave the oceanside boardwalk in North Wildwood, N.J., Thursday, after a police officer refused to accept the presence of the veteran's service dog. Jared Goering says it was the first vacation for him and his wife, Sally, in years.
"Before I got my dog, I didn't want to do nothing," the veteran tells ABC affiliate WFTS in Tampa, Fla., where he lives. "I didn't want to go with my wife anywhere. I didn't like crowds. Then I got my dog and eventually I was able to go out and do that stuff."
Goering, who served in Iraq and Afghanistan, left the Army in 2009 after enduring two IED explosions in 36 hours. The effects of those events are still with him, but he says his service dog, a Labrador retriever named Navigator, has helped him adapt.
Under the Americans with Disabilities Act, the dog is allowed to accompany Goering wherever he goes. But it seems the police officer in New Jersey was confused about the law.
After being questioned by the officer, Jared and Sally Goering pointed out the dog's vest, which is marked with insignia identifying him as a service dog. But they say the officer stated that the rules on such animals apply only to guide dogs who help the blind.
"He went on to say that, 'What do they do? Give every vet a dog now? '" Sally Goering says in a report on the news site NJ.com.
The summons issued on the boardwalk has been filed for dismissal, according to a statement by the North Wildwood police department, which says it is investigating the matter. The officer in question will be reprimanded if necessary, the agency said Sunday, in a report by the Cape May County Herald.
"We've always proudly supported military veterans," Chief of Police Matthew Gallagher tells Florida's WFTS.
Gallagher also said he and one of his officers had also gotten in touch with the organization America's Vet Dogs, to discuss how to identify guide dogs, service dogs and therapy dogs.
"I respect cops; I respect what they do. I know they don't have an easy job," Goering tells NJ.com. "But my job for 20 years was to defend the country. I got shot at on a daily basis, I've been blown up. You know... yeah, it hurts."

GRANTS PASS, Ore. — From Oregon to Mississippi, President Barack Obama's proposed ban on new assault weapons and large-capacity magazines struck a nerve among rural lawmen and lawmakers, many of whom vowed to ignore any restrictions — and even try to stop federal officials from enforcing gun policy in their jurisdictions.
"A lot of sheriffs are now standing up and saying, `Follow the Constitution,'" said Josephine County Sheriff Gil Gilbertson, whose territory covers the timbered mountains of southwestern Oregon.
But their actual powers to defy federal law are limited. And much of the impassioned rhetoric amounts to political posturing until — and if — Congress acts.
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, a Democrat, said Wednesday it's unlikely an assault weapons ban would actually pass the House of Representatives. Absent action by Congress, all that remains are 23 executive orders Obama announced that apply only to the federal government, not local or state law enforcement.
Gun advocates have seen Obama as an enemy despite his expression of support for the interpretation of the Second Amendment as a personal right to have guns. So his call for new measures — including background checks for all gun buyers and Senate confirmation of a director of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives — triggered new vows of defiance.
In Mississippi, Gov. Phil Bryant, a Republican, urged the Legislature to make it illegal to enforce any executive order by the president that violates the Constitution.
"If someone kicks open my door and they're entering my home, I'd like as many bullets as I could to protect my children, and if I only have three, then the ability for me to protect my family is greatly diminished," Bryant said. "And what we're doing now is saying, `We're standing against the federal government taking away our civil liberties.'"
Tennessee Republican state Rep. Joe Carr wants to make it a state crime for federal agents to enforce any ban on firearms or ammunition. Carr instead called for more armed guards at schools.
"We're tired of political antics, cheap props of using children as bait to gin up emotional attachment for an issue that quite honestly doesn't solve the problem," Carr said.
Legislative proposals to pre-empt new federal gun restrictions also have arisen in Wyoming, Utah and Alaska.
A Wyoming bill specifies that any federal limitation on guns would be unenforceable. It also would make it a state felony for federal agents to try to enforce restrictions.
"I think there are a lot of people who would want to take all of our guns if they could," said co-sponsor Rep. Kendell Kroeker, a Republican. "And they're only restrained by the opposition of the people, and other lawmakers who are concerned about our rights."
Republican state Sen. Larry Hicks credited Wyoming's high rate of gun ownership for a low rate of gun violence.
"Our kids grow up around firearms, and they also grow up hunting, and they know what the consequences are of taking a life," Hicks said. "We're not insulated from the real world in Wyoming."
In Utah, some Republicans are preparing legislation to exempt the state from federal gun laws — and fine any federal agents who try to seize guns. A bill in the Alaska House would make it a misdemeanor for a federal agent to enforce new restrictions on gun ownership.
While such proposals are eye-catching, they likely could never be implemented.
"The legislature can pass anything it wants," said Sam Kamin, a constitutional law professor at the University of Denver. "The Supremacy Clause of the Constitution makes that clearly unconstitutional. Where there's a conflict between state and federal law, the federal government is supreme."
Kamin and other legal experts said such disdain of Obama's proposals is reminiscent of former Confederate states' refusal to comply with federal law extending equal rights for blacks after the Civil War.
The National Sheriff's Association has supported administration efforts to combat gun violence after the Sandy Hook Elementary shootings. President Larry Amerson, sheriff of Calhoun, Ala., said he understands the frustrations of people in rural areas with the federal government. But he feels his oath of office binds him to uphold all laws.
"Any sheriff who knows his duty knows we don't enforce federal law, per se," said Amerson, a longtime firearms instructor and hunter.
Some rural sheriffs view the federal government as an adversary, with gun ownership at the core of that belief.
In Minnesota, Pine County Sheriff Robin Cole sent an open letter to residents saying he did not believe the federal government had the right to tell the states how to regulate firearms. He said he would refuse to enforce any federal mandate he felt violated constitutional rights.
The Constitutional Sheriffs and Peace Officers Association, based in Fredericksburg, Texas, encourages that point of view. Founder Richard Mack, a former sheriff of Apache County, Ariz., speaks regularly at gatherings of Tea Party groups and gun rights organizations.
"I will tell Mr. Obama and everybody else who wants to impose gun control in America, that whether you like it or not, it is against the law," said Mack. "Now we have good sheriffs who are standing up and defending the law against our own president."

Pasta with Zucchini, Parmesan and Garlic Oil
From the kitchen of One Perfect Bite...What do you get when finely shredded zucchini is tossed with Aglio e Olio? In my kitchen it becomes an easy entrée that's perfect for a Meatless Monday meal. If you have a julienne peeler to use for shredding the zucchini, you can have this dish on the table in about 20 minutes. I'm not much for kitchen gadgets, but this is one I heartily recommend you add to your inventory. If you haven't seen one of these, you can find one here. I'm not affiliated with these people and my purpose in featuring the peeler is to simplify food preparation rather than sell a kitchen tool. Zucchini that is finely julienned needs no cooking and can be tossed with hot pasta without additional fussing. It helps, however, to have the vegetables at room temperature if you take this route. It's important when you make a dish as simple as this to use ingredients of the highest possible quality. Fortunately, that does not always mean the most expensive. I always serve this pasta with focaccia bread and a crisp green salad to add a bit of texture to the meal. I know you'll enjoy this very easy dish. Here's the recipe.
Pasta with Zucchini, Parmesan and Garlic Oil...from the kitchen of One Perfect Bite
3/4 lb. dried spaghetti
1 (8-oz.) zucchini, finely julienned
1 (8-oz.) yellow squash, finely julienned
Salt and freshly ground pepper
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons fresh minced garlic
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1/3 cup chopped Italian parsley or fresh basil
1/2 cup + 2 tablespoons freshly grated Parmesan cheese
1) Bring large pot of water to boil; add salt. Add pasta. Cook until al dente, about 10 minutes.
2) Season zucchini and squash with salt and pepper. Set aside.
3) Heat 1/4 cup olive oil in small skillet over medium-high heat until hot. Add garlic. Sauté briefly, until light brown. Add pepper flakes and basil or parsley. Mix well. Remove from heat.
4) When pasta is done, drain, reserving about 1/2 cup cooking water. Return pasta to pan. Add zucchini, reserved 1/4 cup oil, garlic mixture from step 3, and 1/2 cup cheese. Toss well, adding cooking water as needed to make a smooth sauce. Taste for seasoning and add salt and pepper as needed. Sprinkle with remaining 2 tablespoons cheese and serve at once. Yield: 4 to 5 servings.

zucchini is such an underused vegetable, so low in calories, but it needs a kick to it because of the lack of flavor...this is a great creation and parmesan gives it that extra touch

Mary, I picked up a julienne cutter yesterday at Sur la Table. Now I don't have to haul out the mandolin. I usually saute my julienned zucchini but next time I'm doing it your way and just adding it to the warm pasta.
Have a great week!

I definitely am going to make this. I find that zucchini works really well when I sneak it into other dishes - by itself I don't love it so much.

Hello. I do not have a julienne peeler, as I am not a great fan of culinary gadgets and in plus, I have a small kitchen. Every time I do julienne on my own, using just a kitchen knife. To make zucchini juliennes is not so difficult, but a real nightmare is to slice carrot, or green papaya - awful job. Probably I should buy this gadget, to make my life easier...
Long noodles served with zucchini cut into long juliennes is a great idea - not only looks ideal, but it is easier to eat.
On the contrary, to eat spaghetti noodles or tagliatelle, with zucchini chopped into cubes is not comfortable at all!
Your dish looks beautiful; congratulations! - July 26, 2010 at 5:21 PM
- Sally said...
Looks great! Zucchini is courgette in Ireland, I usually like it roasted, definitely going to try it in pasta in future

Mary...the only ingredient missing in your Aglio e Olio is the anchoivies...which I don't miss at all since I've never been a fan.
I make a similar dish to this one and add an extra grated cheese 'Romano' to it.
Hey Mary...do you have a little Italian blood swirling around in those veins?
Very appetizing dish...I'm craving those carbs right now!
Flavourful wishes,

Would you believe that I owned a julienne peeler and never used it, not knowing that it was supposed to be? Only a few weeks ago did I discover that I could make zucchini julienne with it! I added the julianne to spaghetti with shrimp, the olive oil dressing flavored with thin strips of lemon peel, garlic and fresh basil. - July 27, 2010 at 10:29 AM

I have made a recipe that's almost identical to yours, but I used thinly sliced zucchini. It was delicious, but I love the look of your julienned zucchini. I just got an OXO julienne peeler about a week ago and I love it. I may have to try your pasta! :)

Parents of active kids know just how much wear and tear their little ones can dish out inside the home. The floors will be played upon, spilled on, chased on and will need to resist scratches, particles and anything from markers and nail polish to sodas and messy food. With its durability, attractive visuals, budget-friendly price points and ease of maintenance, laminate flooring makes a great choice for families with children.
It's also worth saying that laminate flooring is extremely easy to install and is a good fit for nearly every room in the home. And with all of the great qualities that laminate provides, you can still fine-tune your choices to be even more kid-friendly. Factors such as texture and color are more than just style-makers, they can become style-savers! And how do eco-friendly and Made-In-USA options weigh in? Here's our take on the best laminate options for families with kiddos:
Texture & Color of Laminate
Wood-look laminate visuals are more realistic than ever, and in addition to adding major style, they work to keep floors looking fantastic- even with playful kids living on them. In particular, oak and hickory wood looks with bold graining will help hide scratches and dents. Today's laminates are effectively produced with distressing and hand-scraped surfaces that are not only attractive but ideal for blending in any marks left behind. Hardwood visuals with knots and color variations will go a long way in keeping your laminate floors looking newer for longer.
Eco-Friendly Flooring
Laminate flooring is a great choice in combatting childhood allergies since they do not trap dust and other allergens. However, it is important to be mindful of the presence of formaldehyde and other chemicals that can harm indoor air quality, especially around children. Look for manufacturers that create laminate products from recycled materials and use sustainable practices in manufacturing to greatly reduce the overall amount of formaldehyde. Laminates that are CARB Phase 2 compliant for low formaldehyde will be the safest choices to put in a home with kids.
Laminate Made-In-USA
Laminates that are manufactured in the US face much stricter regulations regarding formaldehyde levels than similar products produced overseas. National headlines were made in the last few years when it was discovered that some laminates manufactured in China being sold in the US exceeded almost 20 times above the regulated formaldehyde level. Higher levels of formaldehyde can create higher risk of chronic respiratory irritation and asthma. Definitely look for styles such as Mohawk Laminates that are 100% produced and manufactured in the United States.
Installation doesn't get much easier than laminate flooring, which is ideal for a home with kids. Since laminate can be installed over many subfloors and is ready for use immediately following, your home and furniture are not displaced for days or even weeks on end. Look for laminate planks that have click-and-lock technology such as UniClic Technology for flawless, adhesive-free installation. And if your kids ever damage a portion of the floor to where it can't be repaired, you only have to remove the damaged planks and replace them as opposed to an entire floor. Always have extra laminate planks from your installation saved for that very reason!
It's safe to say that a home with children is ever-changing and evolving as well as exciting and tons of fun.. Choose surfaces for the home that can roll with the punches and adapt to the chaos that comes with kids. Laminate floors are not only a viable solution but a valuable solution across the board!
