(CNN) -- President Obama delivered his long-awaited and wide-ranging speech Thursday on American and Muslim relations, offering a hand of friendship to Islam and addressing an array of quandaries and conflicts dividing the two cultures.
President Obama urges a new chapter in ties between the U.S. and Muslims in a speech Thursday in Cairo, Egypt.
At Egypt's Cairo University, Obama quoted from the Quran as he expounded on Islam's glories and rights, the legitimate rights of Israel and the Palestinians, Iranian nuclear aspirations, the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, women's rights, economic development, and religious rights and democracy in the Muslim world.
The address, billed as a fence-mending mission between the United States and Islam, urged those present and the people across the globe viewing the speech on television to enter a new, productive and peaceful chapter in their relationship.
Obama's stop in Egypt is part of a trip that started in Saudi Arabia on Wednesday and will continue later to Germany and France. Watch Obama's entire speech »
"I know there are many -- Muslim and non-Muslim -- who question whether we can forge this new beginning," Obama said, emphasizing that "it is easier to start wars than to end them. It is easier to blame others than to look inward, to see what is different about someone than to find the things we share."
Obama reiterated a statement he made in Turkey in April.
"In Ankara, I made clear that America is not -- and never will be -- at war with Islam.
"We will, however, relentlessly confront violent extremists who pose a grave threat to our security -- because we reject the same thing that people of all faiths reject: the killing of innocent men, women and children. And it is my first duty as president to protect the American people."
Obama explored the Palestinian and Israeli conflict, endorsing a two-state solution and urging compromise and understanding between "two peoples with legitimate aspirations." iReport.com: A reaction to Obama's speech
And then he entered into the conflict's thickets, understanding claims from both sides. He said the United States "does not accept the legitimacy of continued Israeli settlements" seen by Muslims as impediments to Middle East peace. Watch as Obama seeks a "new beginning" »
"This construction violates previous agreements and undermines efforts to achieve peace. It is time for these settlements to stop."
Calling America's "strong bond" with Israel "unbreakable," he said, "It is based upon cultural and historical ties and the recognition that the aspiration for a Jewish homeland is rooted in a tragic history that cannot be denied."
He denounced the denial of the Holocaust and anti-Semitic stereotyping, and criticized anyone who would threaten Israel's destruction.
Expounding on the plight of Palestinians, Obama said "it is also undeniable that the Palestinian people -- Muslims and Christians -- have suffered in pursuit of a homeland."
"For more than 60 years they have endured the pain of dislocation. Many wait in refugee camps in the West Bank, Gaza and neighboring lands for a life of peace and security that they have never been able to lead," he said. Watch Obama discuss the Israeli-Palestinian conflict »
"They endure the daily humiliations -- large and small -- that come with occupation. So let there be no doubt: The situation for the Palestinian people is intolerable. America will not turn our backs on the legitimate Palestinian aspiration for dignity, opportunity and a state of their own."
Obama also denounced Palestinian violence and the rejection by some of Israeli existence -- both seen by Israel as obstacles to peace. The president conjured the lessons of America's civil rights movement when he urged Palestinians to "abandon violence."
"Resistance through violence and killing is wrong, and it does not succeed. For centuries, black people in America suffered the lash of the whip as slaves and the humiliation of segregation," he said. "It was not violence that won full and equal rights. It was a peaceful and determined insistence upon the ideals at the center of America's founding."
The conflict, Obama said, needs to be seen from a larger perspective, not from the viewpoint of one side or another. And both sides must live up to the responsibilities of the moribund "road map" peace process, he said. Watch CNN's Christiane Amanpour on Obama's message of detente »
He added that the Hamas movement -- which controls Gaza -- and has some support among Palestinians must end violence and recognize past agreements. He also urged Arab states to no longer use the conflict to distract their peoples from other problems.
"The only resolution is for the aspirations of both sides to be met through two states, where Israelis and Palestinians each live in peace and security," he said.
Obama talked about the importance of confronting violent extremism, touching on the fight against the Taliban and al Qaeda after the September 11, 2001, attacks on the United States.
Emphasizing the fact that the United States entered Afghanistan by "necessity" and not "choice," he countered the stances of some "who "question or justify the events of 9/11."
"But let us be clear: Al Qaeda killed nearly 3,000 people on that day. The victims were innocent men, women and children from America and many other nations who had done nothing to harm anybody. And yet al Qaeda chose to ruthlessly murder these people, claimed credit for the attack and even now states their determination to kill on a massive scale. They have affiliates in many countries and are trying to expand their reach. These are not opinions to be debated; these are facts to be dealt with," he said.
Obama said the United States does not seek to keep its troops in Afghanistan or establish military bases there but needs to continue the fight against "extremists," with both military power and investment in the infrastructure and economy of Pakistan and Afghanistan.
"It is agonizing for America to lose our young men and women. It is costly and politically difficult to continue this conflict. We would gladly bring every single one of our troops home if we could be confident that there were not violent extremists in Afghanistan and Pakistan determined to kill as many Americans as they possibly can. But that is not yet the case," he said.
He addressed the conflict in Iraq, calling it unlike Afghanistan "a war of choice that provoked strong differences in my country and around the world."
"Although I believe that the Iraqi people are ultimately better off without the tyranny of Saddam Hussein, I also believe that events in Iraq have reminded America of the need to use diplomacy and build international consensus to resolve our problems whenever possible," he said.
He said the United States needs to help Iraq "forge a better future and leave Iraq to Iraqis."
"I have made it clear to the Iraqi people that we pursue no bases, and no claim on their territory or resources. Iraq's sovereignty is its own. That is why I ordered the removal of our combat brigades by next August. That is why we will honor our agreement with Iraq's democratically elected government to remove combat troops from Iraqi cities by July, and to remove all our troops from Iraq by 2012."
Speaking about prohibiting torture and the closing of the Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, detention facility, Obama talked about working on "concrete actions to change course" and correct abuses in the war on terror.
"Just as America can never tolerate violence by extremists, we must never alter our principles. 9/11 was an enormous trauma to our country. The fear and anger that it provoked was understandable, but in some cases, it led us to act contrary to our traditions and our ideals," he said.
Obama dwelled on the tensions over nuclear weapons between the United States and Iran and the "tumultuous history" between the countries.
He pointed to the U.S. role in overthrowing a democratically elected government during the Cold War era and Iran's role in hostage-taking and violence against U.S. troops and civilians since the Islamic revolution in 1979.
The president reiterated his desire to move forward with Iran on many issues, saying the "question, now, is not what Iran is against, but rather what future it wants to build."
"But it is clear to all concerned that when it comes to nuclear weapons, we have reached a decisive point. This is not simply about America's interests. It is about preventing a nuclear arms race in the Middle East that could lead this region and the world down a hugely dangerous path."
The United States and other Western nations have opposed what they believe are Iran's intentions to develop nuclear weapons.
Obama said that any nation, including Iran, "should have the right to access peaceful nuclear power if it complies with its responsibilities under the nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty." He said such a "commitment" is at the treaty's core and "it must be kept for all who fully abide by it."
"And I am hopeful that all countries in the region can share in this goal," Obama said.

Click to viewApple's Fairplay DRM, which protects all the applications you download from iTunes, has been hacked. The method for hacking this has actually been around for a while, but has been recently applied to Super Monkey Ball and distributed into the wild. To do this, you'll need a jailbroken iPhone and SSH installed (to transfer the game and to fiddle with permissions). The theory is a bit techy and complex, but the execution isn't too insane if you know your way around XCode and the command line.
The next step, of course, is to get some sort of repository for hacked apps going. iPhone developers who are still pissed about the NDA might be receptive to people paying for their app on the iTunes store, but getting TIMELY updates from another source (or direct from themselves). This way users can bypass that week-long waitlist for revisions we're currently seeing in the App Store. [iPhone hacking via haklabs via Macnn]

Mrs. Bush Hosts White House Conference on Helping America's Youth
Washington, DC - Parents, educators, researchers, community leaders and students will participate today in the White House Conference on Helping America's Youth, hosted by Mrs. Laura Bush at Howard University. The Conference will address the challenges facing today's youth and present programs helping youth avoid at-risk behavior by connecting them with schools, community and family. The Conference will also present a new guide to help communities identify challenges they face and offer specific steps they can take to improve the lives of boys and girls in their areas.
"I'm encouraged by children and community leaders I have met around the country who have the compassion and persistence to help change lives," said Mrs. Bush. "It is very moving and very American. All of us can shape a world in which good values are encouraged and children can hope for a healthy, happy, and more productive future."
Through participation in panel discussions, program leaders, educators, researchers, and leaders of faith-based and community organizations will discuss the challenges facing youth and share examples of programs that are already working to make a difference in the lives of young Americans. By sharing best practices, organizations and communities will learn from one another and turn good ideas into successful programs. The Conference will also encourage organizations to help by developing measures to evaluate the effectiveness of youth programs.
The Conference will introduce the new Community Guide to Helping America's Youth. This online assessment guide will help local leaders assess what they are already doing to meet the needs of their young people and what they can do to help. For example, the assessment guide includes maps of communities so that law enforcement can plug in high crime areas. Communities can use the map to determine services available, so they can direct these services to underserved parts of their cities. The U.S. Departments of Health and Human Services, Justice, Education, Agriculture, Labor, Housing and Urban Development, the Interior, the Office of National Drug Control Policy and the Corporation for National and Community Service developed the guide.
Research shows children are less likely to engage in risky behaviors, including illegal drug, alcohol and tobacco use, when connected with parents, family, school, community, and places of worship. Risky behaviors are among the top causes of disease and early death among youth.
Over 20 colleges and universities across the country will simulcast the Conference, so that members of their local communities can listen to participating speakers. Interested public may view the Conference online. For more information, please visit www.whitehouse.gov/firstlady.
President Bush announced the Helping America's Youth initiative in his 2005 State of the Union Address to rally people to the cause of bringing hope and opportunity to children's lives.

Wake Forest upsets No. 18 NC State
WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. (AP) -- Jeff Bzdelik has watched his Wake Forest program stumble time after time, fumbling away close games, getting blown out in others. This time, the Demon Deacons didn't let the moment get away -- even against a team picked to win the Atlantic Coast Conference.
Freshman Devin Thomas had a season-high 25 points, 14 rebounds and four blocks to help Wake Forest upset No. 18 North Carolina State 86-84 on Tuesday night, the program's first win against a ranked opponent in nearly three years.
Travis McKie added 16 points for the Demon Deacons (10-8, 3-3 ACC), including two free throws with 3.4 seconds left that helped Wake Forest hold on down the stretch in a wild final 4 minutes.
N.C. State led by 16 points in the first half and 12 at halftime, then the Demon Deacons rallied to take a 10-point lead before the Wolfpack's frantic final push to set up a tense finish.
Ultimately, Wake Forest -- a program filled with freshmen and trying desperately to return to relevance in the ACC -- did just enough to earn a win that sent their fans storming midcourt to celebrate.
"There were a lot of moments," Bzdelik said of the game's swings, "but we finished with a beautiful moment."
The Demon Deacons had done little other than struggle in three seasons under Bzdelik, going a combined 5-27 in league play the previous two years. That included losses to the Wolfpack (15-4, 4-2) by 36 and 25 points in the past two meetings in Winston-Salem.
But Wake Forest is 3-0 at home in league games this season and now has its first win against a team ranked in The Associated Press Top 25 since beating Georgia Tech in February 2010 under former coach Dino Gaudio, according to STATS LLC.
The win also managed to deny N.C. State its first 5-1 ACC start since 1988-89.
"I'm just sad to see that we lost this game like that," said Lorenzo Brown, one of several N.C. State starters hampered by foul trouble. "We definitely shouldn't have let them come back. That was our fault. We've just got to come back with more intensity."
Freshman Rodney Purvis scored 18 points to lead the Wolfpack, who fell to 1-2 since upsetting top-ranked Duke on Jan 12. Fellow rookie T.J. Warren scored 14 points, while C.J. Leslie scored 13 despite playing just 18 minutes due to foul trouble.
"It's not like we're still living in the moment of beating Duke," Purvis said. "That game has been over with. ... We've just got to find our way and find ourselves and get back to playing the way we need to play."
Wake Forest got 40 of its 51 points after halftime from freshmen behind Thomas. The 6-foot-9, 240-pound forward more than doubled his previous scoring high (12 points) on 10-for-13 shooting while also matching his season high for rebounds and blocks.
Thomas' performance came against a front line that included Leslie, the preseason ACC player of the year, and double-double machine Richard Howell.
"I think we're growing up every game," Thomas said. "We're learning a lot from every game, every practice. I think we're doing a better job of finishing around the rim. That's one of our weaknesses but we're doing a better job of it."
Fellow rookie Codi Miller-McIntyre added 15 points for the Demon Deacons, who shot 59 percent after halftime. Wake Forest won despite going the final 4:11 without a field goal, the last coming on Arnaud William Adala Moto's layup for an 82-72 lead.
But N.C. State made things interesting with a 10-1 run to close the gap to 83-82 on Leslie's free throw with 1:01 left.
But Leslie missed two free throws for the lead with 29.9 seconds left, then Scott Wood missed an open 3-pointer off an offensive rebound following Leslie's second miss. Then, after a free throw from C.J. Harris, the Wolfpack came up empty on two shots from inside the paint -- one from Leslie while taking contact and a runner off a loose rebound by Purvis -- with the chance to tie.
The Wolfpack had a final chance to tie or win after Leslie scored on a layup with 1.2 seconds left to cut it to two following McKie's late free throws. Warren stole a long inbounds pass near midcourt, but his final desperate heave wasn't close as the horn sounded and fans poured onto the court.
"What's that thing at the NCAA tournament: `One Shining Moment'?" said McKie, a junior. "It's definitely mine. This will be mine right here. I'll definitely remember this always."

Think Outside the Box to Find Extraterrestrial Life
A researcher argues that habitable exoplanets could come in many different flavors.
Our Milky Way galaxy, and the billions of others beyond, is chock-a-block with extra-solar planets, scientists have learned in recent decades. But whether any of them can support life is a far more complex and contentious issue.
Many researchers hold that potentially "habitable" planets have to be rocky and within a limited zone in relation to their central sun—conditions that allow for the continuing presence of liquid water on their surfaces. (Related: "Most Earthlike Planets Found Yet: A 'Breakthrough.'")
But in a provocative review article published this week in the journal Science, theoretical physicist Sara Seager of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology lays out a case for habitability being potentially more common than generally predicted.
As a pioneer in the study of exoplanet atmospheres, she paints a different picture of what kinds of planets might support life.
"Our basic premise is that to be habitable, a planet has to have liquid water," Seager said in an interview. "In addition, planets with thin atmospheres are mostly heated by their stars."
"But what primarily controls surface temperature is the greenhouse effect, what types of gases are in the atmosphere, and how massive a planet's atmosphere is. That's what we really have to understand."
Not Your Usual Planet
With that in mind, Seager describes how large planets ten times farther from their stars than Earth is from the sun could also have liquid water and potentially life if, for instance, they had enough hydrogen gas in their atmospheres.
Hydrogen gas, she said, has a much more powerful greenhouse effect than what's in our atmosphere. So it could potentially keep a planet's surface warm with far less radiation from its star.
Relatively dry planets that are close to their suns could also be habitable, Seager said. They need to have less water to create suitable temperatures at their surface because atmospheric moisture is the most effective greenhouse gas of all. (Related: "Smallest Exoplanets Found—Each Tinier Than Earth.")
She described Venus as an example of the dynamic run amok: The close-in planet once had a lot of water, but the presence of so much moisture set off a runaway greenhouse effect that ultimately made the planet unlivable. A drier early Venus, she said, might have evolved into a quite habitable planet.
Planets that aren't even orbiting stars—the many free-floating planets now known to exist—could support life, she said. They would need heat generated by radioactive or other processes at their cores, as well as the necessary atmospheric gases to keep the warmth in the atmosphere. (Related: "'Orphan Planet' Spotted, Orbits No Star.")
"If there is one important lesson from exoplanets," Seager writes in her Science review, "it is that anything is possible within the laws of physics and chemistry."
Astronomers have been extraordinarily successful in finding exoplanets in recent years, and have been finding many within what are considered to be classic habitable zones.
Signs of Life
The next step for the researchers is to learn how to identify elements and compounds in the atmospheres that are considered "biosignature gases," or signs of possible life. This is Seager's specialty.
On Earth, for instance, the presence of large amounts of atmospheric oxygen is a sure sign of life because it would quickly bond with other elements and disappear if not constantly replenished.
In exoplanet atmospheres other compounds, like ozone and methane, especially in conjunction with oxygen, would be considered signs of possible extraterrestrial life.
James Kasting, an exoplanet expert from Pennsylvania State University, said that Seager's views on the potential diversity of habitable exoplanets are similar to those held by others in the community. But her emphasis on these planets as targets for future exploration is something of a challenge.
That's not because of the science involved, but because of long-planned and long-frustrated efforts to have NASA launch an orbiting telescope that could actually image and analyze exoplanet atmospheres.
Eye in the Sky
A past effort to get such an instrument off the ground—called the Terrestrial Planet Finder (TPF)—is extremely unlikely to be funded anytime soon because of its $5 billion-plus price tag.
"The telescope we hope someday will be built has to be designed to look for particular kinds of planets," Kasting said. "Many of us believe a TPF telescope that looks at planets in more conservatively defined habitable zones is more likely to be successful than those that look for these hydrogen exoplanets or others outside of our best understood areas."
While a TPF mission is well off in the future, NASA recently approved development of another exoplanet-finding satellite called the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS).
Scheduled to launch in 2017, TESS will look for exoplanets around 500,000 of the smaller, cooler class M stars that are relatively close to our solar system. In contrast, the Kepler Space Telescope searches for exoplanets in a distant region containing 150,000 stars hundreds of light-years away.
TESS will not be capable of providing significant information about exoplanet atmospheres on its own, but it may be able to do so in conjunction with the James Webb Space Telescope "if we're lucky," Seager said. The James Webb Space Telescope is scheduled to go up in 2018.
Seager concludes her journal article by writing that despite obstacles, "the field of exoplanet characterization is on track to understand habitability and to find habitable worlds."
That doesn't mean extraterrestrial life necessarily exists, or that any possible future detection will come with 100 percent certainty, she said. But at least we're getting ever better at looking.

As the ship pulled out of port, a young man near me started humming the theme from Gilligan's Island. I mentioned to him that the show would have been very different had the SS Minnow been carrying not a lone professor but—as our vessel was—a contingent of Nobel laureates. "Yeah," he replied, "with everybody who's here, we'd probably get off the island pretty quick."
This boat ride on Lake Constance, or the Bodensee as it is locally known, was part of the last day's activities of the 61st annual Lindau Nobel Laureate Meeting in Germany. It was tough to swing Nobel Prize winner Erwin Schrödinger's possibly dead cat in the tiny seaside resort town all week and not hit one of the 23 Nobelists who had come to deliver lectures and advice to some 600 young researchers from all over the world.
A collection of biographies of the science greats in attendance is awe-inspiring (and available online at www.lindau-nobel.org). But what I'll remember is their faces. For one thing, a traffic circle near the Inselhalle conference center featured a display of 10-foot-high head shots of all the visiting academic dignitaries. But face-to-face, their animated faces made a deeper impression.
Take Oliver Smithies, who shared the 2007 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for the development of gene targeting in mice, which allows researchers to study the function of virtually any mammalian gene by taking it out of the equation. In his spare time, he invented gel electrophoresis, one of the workhorse analytical tools of molecular biology. Smithies could be called a wizard—and he looks like the kindly Harry Potter version: twinkling eyes on the top floor, a perpetual whimsical smile downstairs. He showed the audience a photograph of his jerry-built PCR machine, cobbled together years before such devices could be bought online from Amazon.com. (I checked: a new one is available for $7,250.) Smithies's creation looked like it followed a strict Rube Goldberg design and bore the label "NBGBOKFO," which, he explained, stood for "no bloody good but OK for Oliver."
Thomas Steitz looks like he should be piloting a whaling ship, by virtue of his old-timey New England seafarer's beard-with-no-mustache. Make it a whale-watching ship, seeing as how the Yale University researcher's 21st-century New Haven face lacks the grimness of those 19th-century New Bedforders'. Steitz shared the 2009 chemistry Nobel for his elegant elucidation of the three-dimensional structure and detailed function of the ribosome, the cellular organelle charged with the actual production of proteins as per the instructions of the genetic code. So, naturally, we talked baseball.
Steitz and his wife, Joan, a renowned molecular biologist herself, are the parents of Jon Steitz, who was a good enough pitcher at Yale to be a 2001 third-round draft pick of the Milwaukee Brewers. The senior Steitz disclosed a little gem of baseball trivia: "Jon's signing bonus with the Brewers was bigger than my share of the Nobel Prize."
The conference's senior face belonged to 93-year-old Christian de Duve, who now bears a strong resemblance to one of those wise and benevolent tortoises found in various feature-length cartoons. With the gross architecture of the cell now well known, most living laureates who have studied biological systems, such as Steitz, worked at the molecular level. But de Duve's 1974 Nobel was for his six-decade-old discoveries of theretofore entirely unknown cell organelles, the lysosome and the peroxisome. If he's a tortoise, he's one of those Galápagos versions that both greeted Darwin and thrived into the 21st century. When the slide projector failed during his talk, he calmly told the AV tech frantically trying to fix the problem, "Don't worry, I know what's on them." Genius.

A while ago the FBI allowed 448bit encrpytion to be used. There are many application out that support this higher encryption.
What i am wondering, is if anyone knows a good application for this. Most of the ones i found were trial lisences, and you cant even encrypt a file using 448 bit algorithym. The most it would let you is 64 bits.
Does anyone know a good program that can encrypt files uising a 448 bit algorithym without a lisence. For an X system. (Win32)


text: Update 10/13/17 - IRS has extended relief for this tax deadline to taxpayers affected by California wildfires in certain counties. IR-2017-167, Oct. 3, 2017 WASHINGTON – The Internal Revenue Service has an important reminder for taxpayers who filed for an extension and face an Oct. 16 filing deadline: The adjusted gross income (AGI) amount from their 2015 return may be needed to electronically file their 2016 tax return. For those taxpayers who have a valid extension and are in or affected by a federally declared disaster area may be allowed more time to file. Currently, taxpayers impacted by Hurricanes Harvey, Irma and Maria as well as people in parts of Michigan and West Virginia qualify for this relief. See the disaster relief page on IRS.gov for details. As a reminder, taxpayers should keep a copy of their tax returns and supporting documents for a minimum of three years. Prior year tax returns are even more important as the IRS makes changes to protect taxpayers and authenticate their identity. Extension filers should plan ahead if they are using a software product for the first time. They should have kept a copy of their 2015 tax return or if not, will need to order a tax transcript, a process that may take five to 10 calendar days. The AGI is clearly labeled on both the tax return and the transcript. Taxpayers who prepare their own electronic tax returns are required to electronically sign and validate their return. Using an electronic filing PIN is no longer an option. To authenticate their identities, taxpayers will also need to enter either of two items: their prior-year AGI or their prior-year self-select PIN and their date of birth. If married filing jointly, both taxpayers must authenticate their identities with this information. Generally, tax-preparation software automatically generates the prior-year AGI and/or self-select PIN for returning customers. However, taxpayers who are new to a software product must enter the prior-year AGI or prior-year self-select PIN themselves. How to Find AGI; Plan Ahead if a Mailed Transcript Needed The adjusted gross income is gross income minus certain adjustments. On 2015 tax returns, the AGI is found on line 37 of Form 1040; line 21 on Form 1040A and line 4 on Form 1040EZ. Taxpayers who e-filed and did not keep a copy of their original 2015 tax return may be able to return to their prior-year software provider or tax preparer to obtain a copy. Those who lack access to their prior-year tax returns also may go to irs.gov/transcript and use Get Transcript Online or Get Transcript by Mail. A transcript is a summary of the tax return or tax account. There are various types of transcripts, but the Tax Return Transcript works best. Look for the "Adjusted Gross Income" amount on the transcript. Taxpayers must pass Secure Access authentication in order to access Get Transcript Online and immediately access their transcripts. Those who cannot pass Secure Access authentication should use Get Transcript by Mail or call 800-908-9946, and a transcript will be delivered to their home address within five to 10 calendar days.

foo-yc20 (Yamaha YC-20 organ emulator for JACK and LV2)
This is an implementation of a 1969 designed Yamaha combo organ,
the YC-20.
Original YC-20 organs have a touch vibrato control, which is vibrato
induced by horizontal movement of the keys. As there very few (almost
none) midi keyboards which produce such information, this feature has
been left out of the emulation. Instead of the touch vibrato control,
the control panel hosts a "realism" switch.
By default, the package is built with -march=native, which tells gcc
to use the host CPU's features such as SSE2. You can disable this by
passing FORCE_SLACK_CFLAGS=yes to the script.
This package uses POSIX filesystem capabilities to execute with
elevated privileges (required for realtime audio processing). This
may be considered a security/stability risk. Please read
http://www.slackbuilds.org/caps/ for more information. To disable
capabilities, pass SETCAP=no to the script.
This requires: slv2, jack-audio-connection-kit

The quest for social justice is as old as humanity itself. It has been part of philosophical reflection and political discourse for centuries and it has deserved the attention of some of the greatest minds of diverse cultures who established the intellectual foundations of the diverse domains of UNESCO's work. Visions of social justice have generally guided social transformation, resulting sometimes in brilliant outcomes such as the universal recognition of human rights, which is today's accepted principle for building a better world.
Social justice is a term profusely utilized in academic, political and ordinary discourse although it is not commonly defined with clarity. Nevertheless, the severity and extension of current social ills, including but not limited to massive global poverty, wide-spread social inequality, and untenable environmental degradation, clearly indicates that the lack of fairness and the extended violation of rights attempt against recognized underpinnings of justice. Many contemporary societies are usually perceived as unjust societies for a good reason: what people regard as their legitimate entitlements, including the right to life, the most fundamental of all rights, are infringed on a daily basis.
Technological advances, globalization and economic growth cannot be identified with progress if they fail to reach the most vulnerable, which in many countries constitute absolute majorities, especially women. Governments should not point to processes outside of their immediate control, such as global recession, to abdicate their responsibilities with the rights-based wellbeing of their citizens. Poverty, inequality and social injustices within as well as between countries should be fought and that would need to address power asymmetries and the reduction of the privileges of global economic and financial players. New global partnerships should be based on rights, democratic negotiation and the delivery of global public goods.
UNESCO is committed to a universal agenda for social justice based on solidarity, interdependence, respect to cultural diversity, the attainment of social outcomes arising from participatory processes, and the operation of accountability mechanisms. The Organization has included in the Social and Human Sciences programme a major new initiative on global justice and poverty eradication that is currently being launched within the framework of UNESCO's new Medium-Term Strategy (2014-21) and Programme (2014-17) as adopted by the General Conference in November 2013.
In that context, an expert meeting on "Global justice, poverty eradication and the post-2015 development agenda", will be jointly organized with the International Social Sciences Council (ISSC) to be held in Paris, 28 and 29 April 2014. The meeting aims at producing high-level input to two on-going processes: a) the elaboration by the international community of a development agenda looking beyond 2015; and b) the preparation of the 3rd World Social Science Forum, to be held in Durban, South Africa, in September 2015, and of the next edition of the World Social Science Report, to be published in 2016.

Mashed Potato and Rutabaga with Lemon
Mashed Potato and Rutabaga with Lemon
Green Onion, Potato, Recipe, Rutabaga, Scallion, Side Dishes
March 29, 2017
Mashed Potato and Rutabaga with Lemon
2 pounds rutabaga (yellow turnip), peeled and cut into 2- inch pieces
2 pounds yellow potatoes, peeled and quartered
12 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 1/2 cups half-and-half, warmed Kosher salt
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 1/2 tablespoons finely grated lemon zest
8 scallions, white and green parts, chopped, plus extra, whole, for garnish
1/3 cup finely chopped fresh parsley
1 1/2 cups fresh, unseasoned breadcrumbs
1Cover the rutabaga and potatoes with cold, generously salted water in a large pot and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat and simmer until the vegetables are fork-tender, about 30 minutes.
2 Drain the vegetables and return to the pot over low heat. Stir in 8 tablespoons butter. Mash with a potato masher, ricer or food mill until smooth, adding the warm half-and-half and 2 teaspoons salt. Keep warm while preparing breadcrumbs.
3 Melt the remaining 4 tablespoons butter with the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the lemon zest and scallions. Add 1/2 teaspoon salt and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Add the parsley and breadcrumbs and cook over medium-low heat, stirring until evenly toasted, 3 to 4 more minutes. (If the breadcrumbs toast too quickly, reduce the heat.)
4 Transfer the mashed vegetables to a large shallow platter and sprinkle with the breadcrumbs just before serving. Garnish with scallion slices. (To curl them, julienne whole scallions and place in ice water.)

If you like garlic, this is the food of the Garlic Gods. I adore garlic, so when I eat these garlic-butter-slathered toasted crostini liberally spread with the garlic-y kale and olive oil pesto, I am transported to heaven. Every time I make this, that first bite stops me in my tracks, as I savor the flavor of the hearty earthy green kale with the garlic butter. OMG. Mmmm…
These Kale Pesto Crostini are a perfect appetizer for your holiday feast. It's one of those where the guests just sort of stand around the platter, chewing and not talking. Until all the crostini are gone. They are also good with a bowl of rustic vegetable soup, or, if you are like me, you make a bunch of them and eat them for breakfast, lunch or dinner. Which I did tonight while I was typing up this post. So inspiring.
Kale is a form of cabbage, green or purple, in which the central leaves do not form a head. The species Bressica oleracea also contains broccoli, cauliflower, collard greens and brussels sprouts. It is considered a highly nutritious vegetable and is very high in beta carotene, Vitamin K, Vitamin C, lutein, zeaxanthin and calcium. It contains a chemical believed to have potent anti-cancer properties, boosts DNA repair in cells, and is an antioxidant.
Until the end of the middle ages, kale was one of the most common green vegetables in all of Europe. Russian kale was introduced into the US. by Russian traders, via Canada, in the 19th century. Kale is a main ingredient in the national dishes of several countries. In Ireland it's mixed with mashed potatoes to make Colcannon. In Portugal it's combined with potatoes and sausage to make the soup Caldo Verde. In Scotland, kale provided such a base for a traditional diet that the word in dialect Scots is synonymous with food.
A whole culture has developed in north-western Germany, where there are social clubs that visit country inns to consume large quantities of boiled kale, Mettworst and Schnapps. Most communities in the area have a yearly kale festival which includes naming a "Kale King" (or queen).
When you boil the half pound of kale leaves, less the center ribs, they reduce in volume to about the size of a handball. I use my mini food processor for this job and it works perfectly. Sometimes I get kale that is a thicker variety and while it tastes the same, it requires a little longer cooking and a little more olive oil added to the processor to make the mixture the right spreadable consistency. If you are not a garlic freak like me, use only 1/4 tablespoon of minced garlic in the pesto, instead of the full monty ½ tablespoon. I hope you try this. It's fabulous.
Crostini with Rustic Kale Pesto
5 servings
1/2 pound fresh kale, (1 bunch) center ribs discarded, leaves coarsely chopped
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
¼ – ½ tablespoon minced garlic
5 tablespoons salted butter
½ tablespoon minced garlic
Ten ½-inch-thick diagonal slices cut from a baguette of sourdough bread
1. Bring a large sauce pan of water to a boil over high heat. Add the kale, cover and cook until tender, about 10 minutes. Test a little bite to make sure it is quite soft. Drain and refresh under cold water. Using your hands, squeeze as much moisture as possible from the kale.
2. In a mini food processor combine the kale, salt, olive oil and ¼ to ½ tablespoon garlic, per your taste. Process until smooth, scraping down the bowl once or twice. Add up to two tablespoon additional olive oil if necessary if it is dry. (The pesto can be made several hours ahead and kept covered in the refrigerator. Bring to room temperature before serving.)
3. In a small bowl, melt the salted butter with the remaining ½ tablespoon garlic in the microwave on high for 55 seconds. Toast the bread in a toaster. With a pastry brush, brush one side of each toast liberally with the garlic butter. Cut each toast in half if desired. Spread each buttered side of toast with some of the kale pesto and serve immediately.
Note: The Kale Pesto will keep, refrigerated, for 4 days. But make the crostini fresh each day. They're not tasty reheated. The garlic butter will keep 3 days in a closed container and can be reheated.

If you do not agree to the terms and conditions of this agreement or if you do not have the power and authority to accept the terms and conditions of this agreement on behalf of your company, you may not use the Synopsys products and services and Synopsys is unwilling to provide you with them.
1. Products and Services
1.1. The Synopsys products and services that you may license or purchase under this agreement are identified in the Purchasing Agreements that you and Synopsys enter into from time to time under this agreement. These products and services may include (but are not limited to):
1.2. The term "Licensed Products" means Licensed Software and DesignWare.
1.3. Additional terms and conditions (beyond those stated here and in any attached supplements) may apply to certain Licensed Products. When ordering these Licensed Products, you will be given an opportunity to review the additional terms and conditions that must be accepted for you to receive the Licensed Products. If the additional terms and conditions conflict in any way with the terms and conditions stated here, the additional terms and conditions will prevail.

You shall not use the Licensed Product to design any integrated circuits for production or pre-production purposes or any other commercial use including, but not limited to, for the benefit of your customers. If you breach the forgoing restrictions, then you shall pay to Synopsys a license fee equal to Synopsys's perpetual list price plus maintenance for the commercial version of the Licensed Product. You agree that damages for such a breach would be difficult to assess, and such payment represents a reasonable assessment of the potential damage to Synopsys. You recognized and agree that this amount is a reasonable, liquidated amount and not a penalty. Also, evaluation copies of Licensed Products are provided "AS IS". Therefore the warranty and indemnification provisions in this agreement do not apply to evaluation licenses.

2.6. Use Area; Telecommuting Employees; Use Over a WAN: You must ensure that your End Users use the Licensed Product only when they are in the designated Use Area, except that any End User who is your employee, whose primary work location is in the designated Use Area, and whose primary residence is within 50 miles of the designated Use Area, may access the Licensed Product their his primary residence through a secure network that requires a secure ID card or other more protective security safeguards.

This section 2.6 does not apply to Licensed Products obtained under a node-locked license as referenced in section 2.3.
2.7. Key Servers; Hardware Relocation: You may not permanently relocate a Key Server outside of the designated Use Area without obtaining written approval from Synopsys.

Conditions: Your right to use the Licensed Product is conditioned upon your timely payment of the full amount of Fees due for the Licensed Product and your compliance with the terms of this agreement, including the following restrictions. When the License Term expires, your license rights also expire and you may no longer use the Licensed Product.
2.9. Restrictions: You may not (and may not allow anyone else to):
If the License Key limits the number of End Users who may use a Licensed Product simultaneously or the number of simultaneous Clients, you must ensure that this limit is not exceeded, by platform virtualization or any other means.

If you attempt to transfer or assign any of your license rights without Synopsys's consent, the transfer or assignment will be ineffective, null, and void (and you will be in material breach of this agreement). For purposes of this section 2.11, a transfer or assignment of your license rights will be deemed to have occurred (a) if a third party (or group of third parties acting in concert) acquires beneficial ownership of fifty percent (50%) or more of either (i) your or a Parent Entity's assets or (ii) the stock or other equity interests entitled to vote for your or a Parent Entity's directors or equivalent managing authority, or (b) in the event of a merger, consolidation or other business combination between you or a Parent Entity and one or more third parties where your or a Parent Entity's stockholders immediately before that transaction own (directly or indirectly), after that transaction, less than fifty percent (50%) of the stock or other equity interests entitled to vote for the directors or equivalent managing authority of the surviving entity.
2.12. Open Source Software: The Licensed Product may be delivered with software that is subject to open source licensing terms ("Open Source Software") which are available at https://www.synopsys.com/.

4.4. Bankruptcy: If you become the subject of any bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation, or similar proceedings or make a general assignment for the benefit of your creditors, Synopsys may apply any payments you have previously made to Synopsys for products or services not yet delivered by Synopsys against any amounts you owe Synopsys at that time for products or services that have been delivered by Synopsys (under this agreement or otherwise).

Synopsys will do the same if it believes it must disclose your Confidential Information in these circumstances.
6.3. Additional Obligations: In addition to your general obligations of confidentiality regarding the Licensed Products and Documentation, you must take the following steps to help prevent any unauthorized access to or use of the same:
7. Term and Termination
7.1. Term of Agreement: The term of this agreement will begin on the effective date that you first use the products or services and will end when the last Purchasing Agreement expires, unless this agreement is terminated sooner by either party.
7.2. Term of Purchasing Agreement: Each Purchasing Agreement will have its own term, as indicated on that Purchasing Agreement.
7.3. Rights to Terminate: Each party has the right to terminate this agreement, by giving written notice of termination to the other party, if (a) the other party breaches this agreement and (b) either the breach cannot be cured or, if the breach can be cured, it is not cured by the breaching party within 15 days after receiving written notice of the breach from the non-breaching party. A substantial deviation of a Licensed Product from the specifications in the corresponding Documentation will not be considered a breach of this agreement that allows you to terminate the agreement, but it could give rise to a warranty claim under section 8.
7.4. Consequences of Termination: If and when either you or Synopsys terminates this agreement, all Purchasing Agreements in effect at that time will also terminate. When this agreement, a Purchasing Agreement or an individual license to a Licensed Product expires or is terminated:
8. Limited Warranty
8.1. Warranty: For a period of 90 days from when Synopsys delivers a Licensed Product to you (the "warranty period"), Synopsys warrants that the Licensed Product will have no Errors when used on the correct platform and according to the instructions in the corresponding Documentation. This warranty will be void if you, or anyone else other than Synopsys, modifies or attempts to modify the Licensed Product.
8.2. Warranty Claims: To claim a breach of this warranty, you must, during the warranty period, notify Synopsys in writing of the Error or Errors that you have encountered and provide Synopsys with all the information you have, in written or electronic form, about those Errors, so that Synopsys can attempt to reproduce, diagnose, and correct the Errors.
8.3. Exclusive Remedy: Your exclusive remedy for any breach of this warranty is that Synopsys will use commercially reasonable efforts to (at Synopsys's option) correct the Errors you have reported or provide a replacement product that does not contain these Errors, or if Synopsys is unable to provide a correction or a replacement or determines that it will not be feasible to do so, Synopsys will refund the Fees you paid for that Licensed Product.
8.4. Disclaimer: This is the only warranty Synopsys provides for the Licensed Products. Except for this warranty, all Licensed Products, Documentation, and Design Techniques are provided "AS IS". Synopsys disclaims all other warranties (express, implied, or statutory), including any warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, or non-infringement and any warranties arising from a course of dealing or usage of trade.
9. Infringement Claims
9.1. Indemnity: Synopsys will, at its own expense, be entitled to defend (or at its sole option, settle) any claim asserted against you by a third party that any Licensed Product you obtained from Synopsys under this agreement directly infringes any U.S. patent, copyright, trademark, or trade secret. Synopsys will indemnify you for any damages you suffer and costs you reasonably incur that are directly attributable to any such claim and that are assessed against you in a final, non-appealable judgment or agreed upon by Synopsys in a settlement.
9.2. Conditions: Synopsys's obligations to defend and indemnify you with respect to a particular claim are subject to the following conditions:
9.3. Pro-Active Steps: If any Licensed Product is, or Synopsys believes is likely to become, the subject of a claim for which Synopsys would be obligated to defend and indemnify you, then Synopsys may, at its option, do any of the following:
9.4. Exclusions: Synopsys will have no obligation to defend or indemnify you (notwithstanding the first paragraph of this section) with respect to any claim that is based on or attributable to any of the following:
9.5. Burden of Proof: You will have the burden of showing that indemnification is required pursuant to this section 9 and that the exclusions in section 9.4 are not applicable.
9.6. No Other Obligations: Except as expressly stated in this section 9, Synopsys has no obligation or liability to you for any actual or alleged infringement related to the Licensed Products, Documentation, or Design Techniques.
10. Other Terms
10.1. Ownership of IP Rights: Synopsys and its licensors own all Intellectual Property Rights in the Licensed Products, Documentation, and Design Techniques. Your only rights in the Licensed Products, Documentation, and Design Techniques are the rights expressly granted in this agreement; all other rights are reserved by Synopsys. Synopsys's licensors are third-party beneficiaries of, and thus may enforce against you, the license restrictions and confidentiality obligations in this agreement with respect to their intellectual property and proprietary information. You will own all Intellectual Property Rights in the Designs you create using the Licensed Products, Documentation, and Design Techniques, subject to Synopsys's (and its licensors') ownership of the Intellectual Property Rights in the Licensed Products, Documentation, and Design Techniques. Synopsys may freely use and disseminate any Feedback you provide. You agree not to claim that Synopsys owes you any compensation for its use or dissemination of such Feedback.
10.2. Audit and Compliance: Synopsys may audit (using its own employees and those of an independent auditing firm that is subject to appropriate confidentiality obligations) your use of the Licensed Products and Documentation to verify your compliance with this agreement. You agree to give Synopsys (or the auditing firm) reasonable access to your facilities and records for purposes of conducting these audits. Synopsys will give you at least five days advance notice before conducting an audit. Audits will be conducted during normal business hours and no more than once per year, unless Synopsys has a good-faith basis for believing that more frequent audits are warranted. Synopsys will bear all the costs it incurs (including the fees and expenses of the auditing firm, if any) in conducting an audit, unless the audit reveals that you have failed to comply with this agreement in a material way, in which case you agree to reimburse Synopsys for these costs.
10.3. Automatic Updates: Licensed Products communicate with Synopsys servers for the purpose of providing Updates, detecting software piracy and verifying that customers are using Licensed Products in conformity with the applicable License Key for such Licensed Products. Synopsys will use information gathered in connection with this process to deliver software updates and pursue software pirates and infringers.
10.4. Limitation of Liability: For each product or service you license or purchase from Synopsys under this agreement, Synopsys's total, cumulative liability to you, including under section 9, is limited to the amount of Fees you paid for that product or service (regardless of the nature of the liability or the nature or number of claims giving rise to the liability). Synopsys will not, under any circumstances or any theory of liability, be liable to you for any lost profits, loss of data, or consequential, incidental, or special damages arising from this agreement or the products and services provided to you under this agreement. However, this disclaimer of Synopsys's liability for consequential damages does not limit or reduce Synopsys's obligations to defend and indemnify you under section 9. The limitations of liability in this section are a fundamental part of this agreement and enable Synopsys to provide products and services to you at lower prices. These limitations of liability are intended to apply even if an exclusive remedy is found to have failed of its essential purpose.
10.5. Export Controls: You agree that the goods, software, and technology subject to this agreement are subject to the export control laws and regulations of the United States, including but not limited to the Export Administration Regulations ("EAR"), and sanctions regulations of the U.S. Department of Treasury, Office of Foreign Asset Controls and that you will comply with these laws and regulations. Without limiting the foregoing, if any technology, software or source code governed by this agreement, or the direct product of any such technology, software or source code (each is a "Controlled Product"), is subject to the national security controls as identified on the Commerce Control List (the "Controlled Products"), you will not, without a U.S. Bureau of Industry and Security license or license exception, export, re-export, or transfer a Controlled Product, either directly or indirectly, to any national of any country identified in Country Groups D:1 or E:1 as defined in the EARs. In addition, goods, software and any technology subject to this agreement may not be exported, reexported, or transferred to (a) any person or entity listed on the "Entity List", "Denied Persons List" or the list of "Specifically Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons" as such lists are maintained by the U.S. Government, or (b) an end-user engaged in activities related to weapons of mass destruction. Such activities include but are not necessarily limited to activities related to: (i) the design, development, production, or use of nuclear materials, nuclear facilities, or nuclear weapons; (ii) the design, development, production, or use of missiles or support of missiles projects; and (iii) the design, development, production, or use of chemical or biological weapons.
10.6. Governing Law; Jurisdiction: This agreement is governed by the laws of the United States and the State of California, without regard to conflicts of laws principles. The federal and state courts located in Santa Clara County, California have exclusive jurisdiction over any disputes arising from or relating to this agreement, and each party consents to such jurisdiction and venue.
10.7. Notices: Any notice, approval, consent, or other communication intended to have legal effect under this agreement must be given to the other party in writing, must be sent by first-class, registered, or overnight mail or private overnight courier (to the address for the other party stated on the signature page, unless the other party has given notice of a new address), and will be deemed given upon receipt or when delivery is refused. A copy of any communication sent to Synopsys must also be sent to the attention of the General Counsel.
10.8. Waivers: Either party's failure to enforce any provision of this agreement will not be deemed a waiver of the future enforcement of that provision or enforcement of any other provision. In order to be binding, a waiver must be in writing and signed by the party giving the waiver.
10.9. Independent Contractors: The parties to this agreement are independent contractors. Neither party is the agent or partner of the other party, or has any power or authority to act on behalf of the other party
10.10. Severability: If any provision in this agreement is found to be invalid or unenforceable as written, the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect and the invalid or unenforceable provision is to be construed (and, if necessary, modified) so that it is valid and enforceable to the greatest extent possible.
10.11. Attorneys' Fees: The prevailing party in any action to enforce this agreement will be entitled to recover costs and expenses including reasonable attorneys' fees.
10.12. Remedies: Except where this agreement expressly provides exclusive remedies, all rights and remedies of either party (including termination rights) are cumulative. You agree that monetary damages alone would not be an adequate remedy, and therefore Synopsys will be entitled to injunctive relief if you materially breach the license restrictions or confidentiality provisions in this agreement.
10.13. Force Majeure: Each party will be excused from performance of its obligations under this agreement, except payment obligations, to the extent that performance is rendered impossible by earthquake, fire, flood, governmental action, labor disruptions, supplier failures, or any other event or circumstance beyond that party's reasonable control.
10.14. Construction: Section headings in this agreement are for convenience only. The word "including" (and variations thereof) is not intended to be limiting. No rule of strict construction is to be used when interpreting this agreement.
10.15. News Release: The parties intend to work together to prepare and publish a mutually acceptable news release concerning this agreement.
10.16.
