This sophisticated network video recorder (NVR) can meet your needs today and grow with you as your requirements change over the years. This NVR combines three functions in one device: digital recording of video feeds, multiplexing, and simultaneous transmission. Everything can be done via Internet Explorer - initial setup, maintenance, and remote viewing of the video feeds. Its 1TB hard drive uses the first in-first out (FIFO) method to store all video until the drive is full, then begins to overwrite the oldest data. Pre- and post-alarm video is stored as higher-priority data, so will not be overwritten by normal recording. Built-in motion detection conserves storage space, or configure it to record continuously, and can be configured to monitor only certain areas. You can control any pan/tilt/zoom (PTZ) cameras to a preset "virtual patrol" mode, where they continuously sweep an area (camera must be rated as "continuous duty"), or to go to a preset position upon an alarm event. Based on a Dell OptiPlex 780 PC.
This NVR is built to accept up to 10 IP cameras via your network. It is also available configured for analog cameras, and with various numbers of allowable cameras and hard drives:
8 analog inputs, 10-camera license, 2TB hard drive
16 analog inputs, 16-camera license, 1TB hard drive

Bottom Line report emphasizes investment in transportation
American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials
By 2015, governments at all levels will need to more than double their spending on highways and bridges to keep up with increased traffic, freight congestion, the demands of aging highways and bridges, and the growth of the nation's population. Transit spending would need to quadruple to serve increased ridership.
Key findings from AASHTO's Bottom Line report
Immediate hold placed on new hires
Effectively immediately, hiring of new certified or temporary employees is on hold. Any offers that have been made will be honored. Future offers that were not extended as of now are on hold and not authorized. Any active announcements or current recruitment advertisements that are publicly advertised may proceed up to the establishment of a register. Those registers will then likewise be on hold.
Transportation board
Project delivery team created
Chief Engineer Tom Cole announced last week the creation of a team to improve the project delivery schedule to determine the best time to schedule and deliver highway construction projects. Cole introduced Nestor Fernandez and Andrea Storjohann as co-chairs chairs of the team when he discussed its goals with transportation board members April 15, 16 in Lewiston.
Joining Fernandez and Storjohann (District 1) on the team are: Walter Burnside, Bill Shaw, Dave Amick, Randy Gill, and Amanda Hoffman from ITD and John Perry and Jason Giard from the Federal Highway Administration.
DMV receives federal grant for driver's license, ID security
The federal Department of Homeland Security recently notified ITD and the Division of Motor Vehicles of a grant award to make security enhancements to Idaho's driver's licenses and identification cards. ITD originally requested $755,000 for overt and covert security enhancements to licenses and identification cards.
Exercise challenge: Log a few miles Idaho's scenic byways
The road to improved fitness begins with a bike tour of Idaho."In the spirit of the 'Tour de France,'' the 2009 exercise challenge will be a representational bike ride through Idaho's scenic and historic byways in our own 'Tour de Byways," explains Pauline Davis of ITD's Wellness Committee.
District 3
District adopts 'residency' model
District 3 changed this week from the region-based structure under which it had operated the past few years to one based on a residency alignment. The change took effect Monday (April 20). Under the new operational format, Gary Moles will serve as Maintenance Engineer for the entire district, freeing resident engineers to focus on what they do best – construction.
Teen driving
Programs designed to save lives of teen drivers
A split-second decision can dramatically change a young driver's life. The decision to buckle a seat belt, choose not to drink and drive, or look both ways before proceeding into traffic can be made in less than a second. The consequences of making the wrong decision in that instant can be life altering or fatal. That's the message Idaho teenagers are learning by way of law enforcement outreach activities and a successful teen driving safety summit held recently in Idaho Falls.
Workzone safety
Motorists urged to use caution in highway workzones
State departments of transportation throughout the country looked a little orange recently. In recognition of the 10th annual National Workzone Awareness Week, DOTs across the nation held press conferences, video competitions, and lit up buildings and monuments in orange to raise awareness of the importance of responsible workzone driving habits.

Retired POE inspector, wife safe after car
gets stuck in snow
A local couple is recovering at the hospital after spending several nights stranded in the Bull Canyon area of Power County. David and Linda Stoutner of Pocatello got stuck in the snow while driving on North Bull Canyon Road Friday. David is a retired ITD Port of Entry inspector. They had no cell service in the area, and only minimal survival supplies, so they spent the night in their car.
State Street construction might impact HQ commuters
On May 4, a six-week project will begin in earnest on a pavement rehabilitation project for the State Street and Glenwood legs of Idaho 44. It may impact your daily commute, lunch travels or errands, so we wanted to send this notice out. Work was originally planned to start this month but has been rescheduled to begin in early May. The change in schedule is due to recent wet, cold weather.

Kamiah's Lennett Cantwell receives safety honor
By Kathy Hedberg , the Lewiston Tribune
With any luck, the next generation of drivers should include a bunch of them who understand more about highway safety than their parents. And if that's the case, then Lennett Cantwell, a heavy equipment operator for the Idaho Transportation Department, can claim some of the credit. For the past eight or nine years, Cantwell, 60, has been driving dump trucks and snowplows to local schools to talk to students about the many tasks performed by her agency and how to be safe around work zones.
Highway Safety
Enforcement, safety officials discuss strategies
Progress in the battle against impaired driving and initiatives to protect teenage drivers were among the many highway safety topics covered during the 2009 Highway Safety Summit held recently in Boise. Nearly 200 law enforcement officers and highway safety professionals turned out for the annual event hosted by ITD's Office of Highway Operations and Safety.

F ormer President Bill Clinton is back in the spotlight tonight, returning to center stage at the Democratic National Convention to officially nominate President Barack Obama for his reelection.
Twelve years after leaving the Oval Office, Clinton has become one of the most popular figures in the Democratic Party. His approval rating is now 66 percent— the highest since he entered office in 1993 — and convention organizers hope he will reprise his role as the party's best everyman boom-economy cheerleader-in-chief.
In honor of Clinton's triumphant return, we dug up some pictures that got us pretty excited about Bubba's comeback. And even if you're not a fan, these photos are a great reminder of how weird the 90s were.

A simple statement, but one that is often overlooked.
Sports build character, increase confidence, motivate kids to stay in school and aim for higher education; teaching life lessons that extend well beyond the playing field.
But youth sports are in trouble. Billions in funding has been cut from school athletic programs in recent years, and it's estimated that more than a quarter of U.S. public high schools will not have ANY sports programs by 2020.
That's why we've made it our mission to support programs that inspire and enable participation in sports.
Through our Sports Matter program, we're making a lasting impact in our communities by giving young athletes the chance to play. In 2014, DICK'S Sporting Goods and the DICK'S Sporting Goods Foundation announced a $25 million, multi-year commitment to support youth athletics. This year, we're expanding our Sports Matter program to help more teams, in more communities, in more ways. The DICK's Sporting Goods Foundation, in partnership with the teacher-driven, crowd funding platform DonorsChoose.org, will match up to $1.5 million in donations to public and charter school sports teams.
We will also continue to afford all youth sports teams the opportunity to apply for DICK'S Sporting Goods' Sponsorships & Donations.
Never before has the need been greater. Join us and help save youth sports because,
The war in Congo forced them to flee their homes. But the game of soccer, and the power of sport, brought them together and forged them into family.
Congo has been at war for over two decades. The violence and corruption forced over 900,000 to flee their homes in 2016 alone.
But 8,000 miles away, in a town just outside Houston, a soccer team is giving the displaced a renewed sense of home.
Watch the amazing story of this unlikely group of refugees who came together, and through the power of sport, built a bond so strong that even Hurricane Harvey couldn't wash it away.

Fifth Ward Saints
We all know Houston. The lively, populated city, booming with business, tech, aeronautics and transportation. But just 10 minutes away, in the Fifth Ward, there's a neighborhood battling crime and poverty. Luckily, in this town full of demons, there are a few saints.
Carlos Honore, and his wife Tatum founded the Fifth Ward Saints. A football program for at risk youths in one of Houston's roughest neighborhoods. Since 2009 they've been making a real difference, helping their players avoid the rampant violence, drug abuse and crime that surrounds them. And molding them into the future leaders of the community.
But when the team's equipment was stolen, the program was shut down. And the whole community felt the hit.
Keepers of the Game
We are proud to partner with Emmy Award winning Director Judd Ehrlich to present our latest documentary feature film, Keepers of the Game. Born in Akwesasne Mohawk Territory, lacrosse began as a scared game, traditionally reserved for men. Just off the reservation at Salmon River High School in Fort Covington, NY, an all-Native girls lacrosse team comes together, seeking to be the first Native women's team to bring home a Section Championship. But first, they will have to overcome their crosstown rivals, Massena High.
As the season comes to a head, the team is faced with increasing ambivalence from their own community and the girls must prove that the game of lacrosse is their rightful inheritance. With more than just the championship on the line, the girls fight to blaze a new path for the next generation of Native women, while still honoring their people's tradition in a changing world.
Keepers of the Game is currently touring the U.S., screening in communities and at high schools across the country to raise awareness for how sports build character, increase confidence, and motivate kids to stay in school. Through our partnership with DonorsChoose, screenings can raise funds for a local high school sports team, and Sports Matter will match these funds. Bring Keepers of the Game to your school or community FOR FREE! To find out how:

The 1940 Valentine's Day Blizzard
The 1940 Valentine's Day Blizzard
Feb. 14, 1940: Automobiles in Adams Square (Washington Street) in Boston were stalled out in the heavy snow. From the time the snow started at 3 p.m., it fell at at a rate of more than an inch an hour for the first nine hours. Winds reached gale force of 60 miles per hour, and it whipped the snow into impenetrable drifts.
Feb. 14, 1940: Office women who had started home at 5 o'clock could be seen hours later staggering through snow drifts in high heels.
Feb. 14, 1940: The largest single group of stranded travelers were 2,000 Sonja Henie fans who attended her ice show at the Boston Garden and were left without transportation by cessation of service on the Boston Elevated and Boston & Maine Railroad as well as snowbound automobiles. Undismayed, they thronged the North Station's Hotel Manger lobby and restaurants and waited throughout the night. It wasn't until 10 a.m. that the fans were cleared. Extra trains were pressed into service.
Feb. 14, 1940: These two skiers made good use of the heavy snowfall as they skied on Washington Street in front of the Boston Globe building in downtown Boston. From left are Sven Cederstrom, a member of the Appalachian Mountain Club, and Bjarne Bremer, both of Beacon Hill.
The Boston Daily Globe front page on Thursday morning, Feb. 15, 1940.
Feb. 15, 1940: Crews were digging out on Newspaper Row. The leading story in the afternoon editions of the Valentine's Day Globe was about the New York blizzard in which winds reached 100 miles per hour on top of the Empire State Building. As far as Boston was concerned, the Weather Bureau said in the same edition, the worst part of the storm would go out to sea south of Boston. The official forecast reported: "Snow this afternoon, probably mixed with rain." ( For reasons now unknown, an airbrush artists highlighted the signs on the left side of the street. This was done in the past to aid in the quality of photos in the newsprint production.)
Feb. 15, 1940: Snow was higher than the tops of cars in places along Route 27 in Medfield, and the road was none too wide either.
Feb. 15, 1940: Crowds of men ready to go to work shoveling snow waited at the City Yards on Albany Street. In all, approximately 17,000 men were hired to dig Boston out of its snowy mess as 9,000 WPA employees were authorized to join the force of over 7,500 regular workers and extras. Any man with a shovel could go to his local work yard and get a job. The city couldn't supply shovels though as it had run out of those.
Feb. 15, 1940: A parked car was completely covered in snow on Salem Street in Medford Square. (Notice that this print from our archive shows off the work of an airbrush artist in 1940. Every sign on this street was painted over, covering all business names.)
Feb. 15, 1940: Trains were set behind by freezing and jammed switches, as well as the herculean task of digging and plowing through huge drifts on rights of way and in the yards of the main railroad lines into Boston. Emergency crews worked all day and night with flame throwers, oil lamps, and bonfires for the huge task of clearing the way for trains.

Professor Matthew Richardson says, "I would give like Dodd-Frank like a B because something had to get done and you know it's difficult to get anything done in Washington so the fact that something was actually passed was actually a positive. I think, my concern is when I look at the rules, as they begin to come out, like the rules on capital requirements that came from Basle it was more of the same than what we had before so I'd probably drop the grade a little bit."

The Linux Desktop is More Than Ready
Installation Hurdles, Hardware Support
For years technology fans have been fighting over one of the most foolish mottos ever mentioned by the Linux community: "the year of the Linux desktop."
It's clearly not the most effective model for success if we're interested in moving this platform forward.
So rather than continuing the usual arguments any further, I want to instead take an honest look at where today's desktop Linux distributions are from a casual user perspective.
I'm not talking about the casual Linux user mind you, rather those of the typical Windows computing variety.
Getting the operating system installed
One of the biggest obstacles pointed to by non-Linux users is that the Linux desktop is too difficult for the casual user to install without help. Possibly, however most people don't install their own operating systems. Geeks do, but Joe User is frankly not among this group of DYI types.
Despite that fact above, most people who discover Linux do so by following some links to a download page, which then translates into the need to burn an ISO image to a CD. This means most people trying out Linux for the first time would be considered Windows savvy. Clearly, the argument of Linux installation being too difficult suddenly becomes a loaded statement.
The problem is less about the OS installation and more about confusion with something known as dual-booting their operating systems. Often Windows gamers will do this as they wish to explore various Linux distributions without losing their Windows installation.
Unfortunately dual-booting some Windows releases (such as Vista) is a bit of an art. This is not pointing fault at one OS versus the other. Rather the fact that you are better off either utilizing a LiveCD/Flash Drive instead for Linux use, or considering using something like Wubi which gives you an easy to remove installation of Ubuntu.
Is the issue of dual-booting a reflection of difficulty in installing popular Linux distros? Hardly. Rather, dual-booting is not near user friendly, while solo booting is.
Hardware detection
The next statement that keeps cropping up is that Linux has awful hardware detection and support. Unfortunately for those making this claim, it really depends on your perspective. Nearly everything you hook up to a modern Linux distro will work out of the box.
Does this mean that desktop Linux has perfect hardware detection then? No, there are still devices that can provide problems for someone not wanting to try and integrate the missing driver modules into the kernel themselves. Many of these devices, however, are wireless based.
The issue of wireless compatibility is something of a touchy subject for me personally. Reason being is that none of the distros out there are willing to STOP trying to support wireless vendors that work hard to make sure that their products are incompatible with desktop Linux as a whole.
Despite vendors such as Edimax and Intel providing chipsets that actually work well with Linux, the interest of poorly supported chipsets provided by Broadcom (among others) continues to frustrate new Linux users on a daily basis. In the eyes of some developers, this line of thinking is called progress.
We see developers wanting to be fair to people who are too cheap to simply drop $20-something on a device that can be supported very well out of the box. Popular support for poorly supported chipsets is a false ideal that will continue to hold back Linux on notebooks each and every day in my honest opinion.
I use nothing but Edimax (Linux supported models) dongles and Intel integrated wireless devices. Needless to say, I do not have connectivity issues. And I left netbooks out of this point due to the fact that they also fall into the integrated wireless arena. They, too, use compatible wireless hardware.
Another hassle for new users is webcams. Even though I have yet to run into a webcam that did not work pretty darn well, I have found plenty of evidence out there that some models will not work as needed due to a compatibility issue.
As an example of how this might limit a casual user, take getting a webcam working in Skype. If the cam is known to be a V4l2 webcam, chances are that it will work well with a proprietary VoIP program such as Skype. However, if it is among the older webcam models, using older V4L1 technology, chances are good you will need to use this command to get Skype working with your cam:
bash -c 'export LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libv4l/v4l1compat.so; skype'
For someone such as myself, this is an easy add-on to my existing menu entry for Skype in my program list. To the new Linux user, they would not even know such a thing might be needed without some substantial digging.
Yet at the same time, all of the following work out of the box with zero interaction from me on my Ubuntu Linux desktop machine: both of my Logitech webcams, Wii guitar, Olympus digital voice recorder, USB Plantronics headset, three different USB external hard drives, DV video camera, 3-in-one HP printer/scanner, bluetooth dongle, external Sony DVD-burner, and Wacom tablet.
Based on my own experience, new user-friendly distributions tend to provider fantastic hardware support. Perfect? Hardly. But darn good nonetheless.

It is unclear what the borders of Eriador were to the south; it is unknown whether the Greyflood or Lune rivers even existed in the First Age. Presumably the Greyflood followed the same route through Eriador to the lower end of the extended Blue Mountains - before reaching the sea somewhere to the west of the White Mountains.[1]:4
Central Eriador was scattered with many groups of hills including the Tower Hills (Emyn Beraid), Hills of Evendim (Emyn Uial), Weather Hills as well as the Far Downs, White Downs, South Downs, North Downs and Barrow-downs (Tyrn Gorthad); Fonstad noted that the "longitudinal axes [of the hills] formed concentric rings".[1](this thing should be in brackets) Despite large deforestation by the Númenóreans during the Second Age some wooded areas remained, such as the Old Forest, Woody End, Bindbole Wood (sometimes seen as "Bindbale"), Chetwood around Bree-hill, the Trollshaws, and, largest of all, Eryn Vorn; Hollin was so named due to the large numbers of holly trees which grew there.[1] Other geographic features include Midgewater Marshes, Rushock Bog, and Overbourn Marshes.

A search of a South Side home Friday revealed about $10 million worth of cocaine and more than $500,000 cash, leading to the arrest of the 21-year-old man who lived there. Two others also face felony charges in the case.
Jose Pelayo-Aguilar, of the 3600 block of South Leavitt Avenue, was charged with manufacturing or delivering and possessing more than 900 grams of cocaine. During a Sunday court appearance, Judge Israel Desierto ordered him held on a $75,000 cash bond.
A police report says Pelayo-Aguilar admitted to asking Patricia Sugey to deliver one kilogram of cocaine to Roger Zeni.
Sugey, who is being held on $50,000 bail, and Zeni, who is being held on $25,000, also face felony charges in the case.
During a search of Pelayo-Aguilar's home in the McKinley Park neighborhood, police recovered 79 kilograms of cocaine, with an estimated street value of about $10 million, and at least $539,406 cash.
Pelayo-Aguilar's lawyer, Joseph Lopez, said his client knew nothing about the drugs and "was caught up in the middle of it." All three defendants will be back in court on Feb. 20.

Heterosexuals Die Behind HIV Lies; They're More Volunteers Than Victims
By Reggie Smith
February 17, 2014
Just so you know, HIV is not a gay disease, nor is it a gift. Those are two of the biggest lies that people want to believe so that they can continue to have raw sex without having to ask or answer any hard questions. The allure of sex is so strong, that most of us, no matter what we say publicly, will gamble with our lives for the chance to "lose our minds" for a little while. Many men don't last long during sex and orgasms are brief, while many women are faking them. For many heterosexuals, the risk is high and the reward is tenuous.
As an HIV-positive heterosexual man, I can say from experience that sex is worth the chance, but the cost for raw sex is too high. Unfortunately, because the perception is that HIV is a gay disease, heteros act like sad or angry victims when the virus catches them. In reality, most of us are volunteers.
The legal system and people (especially women) react with shock and retribution when someone, often a black man, is HIV+, and has raw sex with a bunch of willing women and some of them contract the disease. I find it morally deplorable to intentionally attempt to infect anyone with this disease. I wondered what might make me act that way. I think the fear of life or death, or fear of not being loved could cause that kind of irrational behavior. When I was addicted to drugs, I did things I never thought I would. I was powerless over my addiction and my life had become unmanageable. Even after I got clean, it took time to change my thinking and behavior. I knew HIV was attainable, but I still acted insane and probably contracted HIV from unprotected sex with a woman. I was no victim really, I ultimately volunteered. It's easy to lie to yourself (and others) in order to get what you want, right? I bet some of you are lying to yourself right now as you are reading.
Heteros are really good at self-deception about sex and HIV. We want to get "buck wild" without fear, question, or condoms, until it's over. Then potential consequences, shame and guilt flood our minds. We often then find other addictions like food or drugs to drown out our consciousness. Some get crazy and say "f#@k it" and look for company in our misery. We promise God we will stop, but we don't. We make laws to try to punish that behavior and save us from ourselves, but like marijuana use or prostitution, you can make it illegal, but you can't stop it that way, or lock everybody up that is doing it. We all must take personal responsibility for our actions. That's true for everyone despite sexual orientation. Heteros remain especially delusional because we help perpetuate the lie that HIV is a gay disease by not speaking up for ourselves enough.
Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. said, "at some point, silence becomes betrayal." As true as that is for the individual with HIV who repeatedly has sex with others, with or without the intent to infect them, it is equally true for the heterosexual community. We act "stigmatized" and homophobic about being identified as gay, but too many of us have volunteered as warriors (carriers) in the HIV brigade. Many now suffer silently in irrational victimhood. There are no laws that can protect us from our insanity and ourselves. Once you become a pickle, you can never become a cucumber again. Fear of death won't keep you from dying; nobody's getting out of here alive. Don't be jealous of LGBT activism, be responsible to act yourself. Heterosexual people, like myself, need to create an atmosphere more conducive to healing. That means we will have to stop lying to others and ourselves about our HIV status, demand the human right to health care for all, decriminalize HIV transmission unless it is tied to rape or another crime, and learn to love more unconditionally. I promise, sex will be better for everybody if we do.

Being inside a daylily.
I started taking photos in earnest when I was in the Navy many, many years ago. I laid aside my Nikon when I discovered computers in the late 70's and then when digital photography came along, it seemed like a great match. Now I still play with computers; but the main emphasis is on the photography. I like bright, saturated colors and many of my creations reflect that passion. I just want to create beautiful images. Hope you enjoy and thanks for looking.

Selecting and deploying risk assessment methods for the development life cycle
Session: Secure software development, Wed., Sep. 16, 13:30 - 14:00
Risk assessment is increasingly considered a foundational starting point to develop secure software. Different approaches and methods have been proposed until today. Naturally, not every approach suits a given development organization or project. This talk pinpoints the need for risk assessment in the secure software development lifecycle, depicts properties of several risk assessment approaches, and provides insights on selection and deployment of a matching approach into the development process.

Back to the overview
exhibition gallery
Stephan Schenk | Forest Panorama
Galerie m Bochum is showing in its exhibition series FEATURE the 10-part forest panorama "Inyo, Ancient Bristlecone Pine Forest, USA" created by Stephan Schenk in 2008.
The Ancient Bristlecone Pine Forest is located in the White Mountains of California and is named after the pine trees that grow there, which are over 4,000 years old. This venerable heritage, along with the bizarre shapes of the trees scattered at the forest edge, give this vast landscape its special appeal.
Schenk has composed ten black-and-white details into a 360-degree panorama, showing from a single standpoint a sweeping view of the entire forest. Variable treatment and grouping of the individual gelatin silver prints in the respective spatial context results in more or less dynamic-looking processes taking place against the horizon line and among the more striking trees. The forest thus reveals continually new perspectives to us.
The question of perception is an important theme of the series. While the panorama at first appears to be a coherent whole, upon closer inspection the eye of the beholder becomes frustrated by the overlapping of the motifs at the edges of the individual images. This optical break exposes the volatility of our vision and enables us to appraise the work detached from its subject.
Stephan Schenk began producing his forest panoramas in 2002 with photographs of the Bavarian Forest National Park. In the meantime, he has created 38 such 360-degree views. Schenk deals in this series of works with the forest in the broadest sense, exploring the many meanings it has for us as inhabitants of the planet.

Have you been following the blogging prompts from Lisa Alzo's blog which celebrate Women's History Month by asking bloggers to write about their female ancestors?
Today's blogging prompt is: 'March 13 — Moment of Strength: share a story where a female ancestor showed courage or strength in a difficult situation.'
I'm sharing the story of a female who is not an ancestor but deserves to have her story told as she was a strong woman living in a man's world.
Jennifer Musa was unknown to me until I read a post at pakistaniat.com written by Adil Najam. It's an interesting read which I encourage you to read here fully. Here's a glimpse of it:
Unfortunately, the link to the obituary that was referred to in the blog post, is not working. What an interesting life she led!
Jennifer Musa, who has died aged 90, was an Irishwoman of modest stock who took over from her husband as head of a tribe in the remote borderlands of Baluchistan; unveiled and uncompromising, she dedicated her life to the conservative Muslim tribesmen among whom she lived for 60 years until her death….
Far from being a colonial figure who "stayed on", and despite having been dubbed "the Queen of Baluchistan", Jennifer Musa was a tough-minded, unassuming nurse who arrived at the parched fringes of the Indian subcontinent a year after Partition. When she arrived there, as she later recalled, locals believed that the British monarchy had gifted the "London lady" to their chief in return for killing a tiger.
She was born Bridget Wren at Tarmons, Co Kerry, Ireland, on November 11 1917, the daughter of smallholding farmers. She had four sisters and two brothers and received a Roman Catholic education. Known as Bridie, she later changed her name to Jennifer and left for England to train as a nurse. In 1939 she met Qazi Mohammed Musa in Oxford, at Exeter College's May Ball.
Qazi Musa, who read Philosophy, was a ward of the Governor-General of Baluchistan and the eldest son of the prime minister to the Khan of Kalat, Baluchistan's princely state. Jennifer took the Muslim name of Jehan Zeba and they married in 1940, despite some opposition from his otherwise "liberal" family.
Qazi had been married off to his first wife when he was 14 years old amid fears that he would be killed, most likely poisoned, by clan rivals. The marriage produced four sons and one daughter. Jennifer and Qazi's first wife, a member of the neighbouring Kansi tribe, remained neighbours and friends in later years.
Qazi's father had been a key figure in the Pakistan movement and the couple arrived there from England in 1948. The family stronghold at Pishin, a dusty, baked plateau 30 miles north of Baluchistan's capital, Quetta, is a far cry from the banks of the Shannon. For centuries it fell under the suzerainty of tribes from the neighbouring city of Kandahar, where the Qazis once wielded influence before being expelled by the British. The area, which is hemmed in by russet mountains and tormented by dust devils and temperatures in excess of 50 degrees Celsius, was retained within the borders of British India after the Second Afghan War in 1881.
Jennifer donned the shalwar kameez, but without wearing a headscarf or the all-encompassing burqa, and lived the rarified life of the frontier sardars (tribal chiefs).
In a land of camels, her family owned the only car; despite the austere surroundings, they lived in relative security within the thick, mud-walled, colonial-era home that was festooned with daggers, tigers' heads and photographs of her extravagantly whiskered in-laws.
Pakistan's founder, Mohammed Ali Jinnah, stayed for several nights at the house, from where they often forayed across the border to the fashionable, Francophone court of the Afghan king at Kabul. But the idyll ended when her husband died in a motor accident in 1956. Despite her wish to return to Ireland, her husband's family persuaded her to stay in Pishin with their 14-year-old son, Ashraf Jehangir Qazi [later to become Pakistan's Ambassador to USA].
Her independence of mind, often attributed to her "Irishness", led her to enter politics. She joined the now-defunct National Awami (Freedom) Party (NAP) of the Pathan nationalist Wali Khan. At what are often called Pakistan's "first and last free and fair elections", in 1970, she won a seat in the national assembly. Her flaxen hair, grey-blue eyes and fair skin caused unease among its more bearded members.
Jennifer served as a parliamentarian for seven years, during which time she demonstrated her empathy for the underdog. She founded the area's first women's association and its first family planning clinic. "You can't liberate women until you liberate men," she said. More famously, she resisted strong pressure from the overbearing prime minister, Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto, to water down autonomous rights for Baluchistan.
Perhaps apocryphally, Bhutto was reputed to have mused whether she thought she was "the Queen of Baluchistan". Then he added: "Fix that woman."
She was a proud signatory of Pakistan's 1973 constitution. But when Bhutto savagely crushed a Baluch insurgency during the 1970s Jennifer acted as a conduit for messages from the rebel leadership and jailed fighters to their families, because their women were cut off from public life as they were in purdah.
Democratic politics in Pakistan, and Jennifer's political career, came to an end with the imposition of martial law at the end of the 1970s, and she turned her focus on her family home and lands. She grafted a rose garden among its pomegranate and pine trees. During the 1980s she worked among Afghan refugees who flocked to Pishin due to the fighting in the anti-Soviet jihad; she set up and managed an ice factory in a land that lacks refrigeration and electricity; and - to the chagrin of the mullahs - she promoted literacy for women.
But it was in her capacity as a traditional tribal administrator that she made her mark. She dispensed favours, settled disputes and signed chits for tribesmen who gathered at her gate. "You have to be astute dealing with the Baluch," she remarked.
Her emphasis was on education, health and hard work. A local superintendent of police recalled how, when he was a schoolboy, Jennifer pinched his ear for missing class. In such a way she inspired a generation of local professionals who lived in fear of being "whacked".
It remained a mystery to her family how she managed. She had little grasp of the local language, Pashto. A family retainer was amused to overhear the somewhat whimsical explanation for the town's name of Pishin that she offered to a visitor - she said, erroneously, that it was derived from the Pashto for "cat". When angry, her smatterings of Urdu and Pashto gave way to pure English.
Purposefully vague about when she "became Islamic", Jennifer did not feel bound by religion, preferring to remark on the similarities of the various faiths.
She retained a faint Kerry brogue, but said she knew more about Pakistan than Ireland, which she last visited in the 1960s. She was an unfussy Irishwoman with a twinkly sense of humour who felt "very much at home" at Pishin. In Ireland, she noted, the women did not mix much with the men.
In her later years visiting foreign journalists mused about how the wild, tribal frontier, where women are in purdah and even goatherds carry Kalashnikovs, was an unlikely place to find an elderly Irish widow serving afternoon tea. The area has lately become a stronghold for the Taliban, and is generally out of bounds to foreigners.
Jennifer died on January 12. Her funeral procession was attended by thousands of burly, turbaned Pathans (many of them allied to the Taliban) who raised cheers of "Mummy Jennifer!" in her honour as the cortège passed through a shuttered Pishin. She was buried at the Qazis' ancestral burial ground near the tomb of the family Sufi saint, Sheikh Farid Baba. President Pervez Musharraf telephoned Jennifer's son, a former Pakistani ambassador to the United States, to offer his condolences for morethe death of a woman who, in one of her last interviews, said: "Mummy has had her innings."

The Vegetarian Option: Buttermilk Channel
Dining out meat-free.
The Brooklyn food scene is full of hip and trendy restaurants, but it's rare that any of them offer more than one or two vegetarian options. That's why I was pleasantly surprised to discover that Buttermilk Channel has an entire menu devoted to vegetarian food. In addition to small plates and appetizers, there are five vegetarian entrees listed, a positive bounty for those of us who don't eat meat. Although the Southern-inspired food sometimes came up short, it was all interesting. The meal started with this delicious complimentary popover, buttery and crisp, drizzled with honey and sprinkled with salt.
Less successful were the hush puppies with green chile aoli ($4). They were light and pillowy soft with very little flavor, the opposite of what I look for in a hush puppy. I like mine more dense and sweet, which would have been a better match for the tangy aoli at the bottom of the dish.
Much better was the grilled flatbread ($12). The thin dough was nicely crisp and spread with a housemade buttermilk ricotta before getting topped with thinly sliced meyer lemons and grilled ramps. Ricotta and lemon are a great combination in just about any form, and the ramps added a welcome charred flavor.
There are plenty of vegetarian sides, and if you want to sample several of them at once, the cheddar waffles ($17) are the way to go. The waffles themselves are the same that come with the fried chicken entree. They're an intriguing mix of savory and sweet: topped with powdered sugar but made with cheddar in the batter. The crisp exterior lets you know you're eating waffles despite the relatively unfamiliar counterparts. Roasted mushrooms were well seasoned but ordinary, and the savoy cabbage slaw added a cooling element to a warm plate but not much else. Best of all were the sweet peas with mustard. The peas themselves were not particularly sweet, though they were perfectly cooked just between too mushy and too crunchy. The missing sweetness was taken care of by the handful of pea shoots cooked in with the peas, and the mustard sauce was a spicy counterpoint to their fresh flavor.
Buttermilk Channel seems to be the archetypal Brooklyn restaurant: a name referring to the history of Brooklyn, a long wooden bar dominating the dining room, and Meyer's candles in the bathroom. What sets it apart is its commitment to making vegetarians feel welcome; despite the cramped seating and seemingly harried waitstaff, I was able to enjoy a fully vegetarian meal. It's hard to express just how satisfying that can be.

Giants cornerback Terrell Thomas' comeback from a third torn ACL will take a major step forward on Saturday when Thomas takes the field against the Jets.
It will be Thomas' first game action of any kind since an August 22, 2011 preseason game against the Bears. Thomas tore his ACL in that game and then tore it again before preseason action got underway last summer, which means that more than two full years of watching and rehabbing at MetLife Stadium.
Dave Hutchinson of the Newark Star-Ledger reports that Giants coach Tom Coughlin was enthusiastic about Thomas' recent practice performances when he announced that the cornerback would be making his return to the lineup. Coughlin called an interception during practice "very good" and said that he was looking forward to watching the practice tape of Thomas from Wednesday.
If Thomas makes it through the game unscathed, talk will turn to what kind of role he'd play in the Giants secondary in 2013. There's been talk of Thomas seeing time at safety, but the Giants have plenty of player at both secondary spots vying for snaps at the moment. While the Giants have shown admirable patience with Thomas over the last two years, he'll need to show that he's capable of making an impact on the team to get one of the 53 spots on the roster come the end of the month.

The carefully hidden face of online racism
It's only unusual to see the word "kaffir" online if you avoid certain parts of the web. On closed and semi-public networks and discussion boards, casual racism is very much alive, and the racial slurs come thick and fast, as long as participants believe they are cloaked in anonymity.
But in recent years references have become less direct and sometimes harder to track, especially where real-world identities are associated with comments; thanks to Facebook filtering and moderation you are more likely to see a reference to "barbarians" or "monkeys", or occasionally "k4ffirs" on that network.
Sometimes the denigration is linked to assertions about relative racial intelligence levels, and sometimes it is through subtle references to the violent nature of black people.
But because such discussion tend to occur in member-only groups, on private message boards and in Afrikaans, it draws little attention.
The Suidlanders, a group that is primarily preparing itself for what it believes to be an inevitable race war in South Africa (to be triggered by black people), boasts more than 5 000 members on Facebook. Membership is open only to white people, and only white people without any more-pigmented Facebook friends. Failure to adhere to that rule is grounds for summary expulsion, and the group vigilantly looks out for what it considers informers or traitors.
Discussion on the Suidlanders page, though it carries heavy racist overtones, is nowhere near as direct as that to be found openly on the likes of Stormfront.org, one of the largest white-supremacist websites in the world. Users such as "kaffirhater" frequent the parts of its forums dedicated to South Africa, where anything approaching liberal views can see other users referred to as "kaffirboetie" (literally, brother to a black man), and even a discussion on urban freeway tolls features the phrase "kaffirs appointed as separate speed cops" — though the word "fuck" is obscured. [ ] The level of common discourse is perhaps best illustrated by a February post with the headline "White woman gang raped by kaffirs during protestt" (sic).
Other groups use a combination of email lists and their own websites to encourage racist behaviour. In the same week that Dos Santos posted her fateful comment, the Kommandokorps organisation launched a call to boycott restaurants that don't employ white serving staff. It called on supporters to turn off the power to their houses entirely any time a television programme depicts "racial mixing, inter-racial marriage and homosexuality as the norm", in order to send producers of such shows a message. School children, it advised, should hiss while the Xhosa and English parts of the national anthem are sung. Such action is necessary, it said, because Afrikaners are being denigrated and impoverished daily, while "black fat cats" drive expensive cars and throw expensive parties.
The largely silent and passive nature of the Kommandokorps' proposed set of resistance actions reflects a growing trend of keeping displays of racism out of the public eye, for fear of what some believe will be victimisation if they air their thoughts. On various forums members advise one another to only use non-public Twitter accounts, to avoid references to race war and to attend in-person meetings to discuss sensitive topics.
"You'd better watch out, the government is good at intercepting online stuff these days," one user recently cautioned another. "If they identify you, the kaffirs will come for you."
