An independent city until 1938, Altona lies across the 'border' from Sankt Pauli and still exudes a free spirit. This part of Hamburg is home to hip thirty-somethings, art students and other creative personalities. Pedestrian streets lined with boutiques, designer stores and galleries alternate with bistros and beach bars – a refreshing change from Hamburg's busy city centre.
Perhaps it's the history of Altona that lends the district its unique atmosphere. Originally Danish, Altona was one of the most important port cities in the Danish Kingdom. The city was independent for many years and was only incorporated into Hamburg in 1938. The neighbourhood still exudes some of this independent free spirit. This is the place in Hamburg to find independent clothing stores, alternative record shops and designer furniture.
To explore Altona's shops, begin in the Ottenser Hauptstraße, a pleasant lively shopping street. Take a look at Der Schaukelstuhl (the rocking chair), a small interior design store that specialises in rocking chairs and high-quality sofa beds. For sweet temptations visit B.Sweet, a few doors down, for an interesting combination of artfully presented chocolates and sets of lingerie. At the end of the street you will find Adler Altona, an irresistible shop with men's clothing and accessories by brands that are hard to find in other parts of Germany.
"Chocolates and lingerie sets at B.Sweet"
For even more creativity and originality, continue your shopping adventure in a northerly direction. Visit Retube, located on the Hohenesch, where old tractor tyres have found a new purpose as hip designer bags. Further north you will encounter Fabrik, a former factory hall that hosts a popular neighbourhood market on weekends. In addition to (second-hand) jewellery, clothing and art, you will also find all kinds of homemade delicacies – from bread and jam to rhubarb syrup. A perfect place for brunch.

Why You Should Buy A Backup Harddrive
Waffling about whether to invest in a backup harddrive? Maybe this story will help convince you:
I am crawling under my desk in my work clothes before I have to take children to school and then run for the train. There is a phone wedged under my ear and a bowl of cereal in one hand. With the other, I am trying to pull a cable from behind my computer while a customer service rep for Treo (like a Blackberry, but worse) attempts to diagnose why the computer just wiped out every article I have ever written and my appointments through next year. She is in Bombay. My children are in my kitchen. They are yelling for me.
Hard drives WILL fail. It's just a question of when. Protect your sanity, and your work clothes from getting wrinkled, and get a backup harddrive.
Your call is important to us [Larchmont Loop]

While selling open source code is not a problem, not making the source code available if the license demands it is. Netkas, famous OSX86 hacker, and a Russian site are now claiming they have found the smoking gun. Sadly, neither Netkas nor the Russian site are particularly proficient in Engish, so it's not all entirely clear what's going on here, but I'm taking them - Netkas especially - on their word when they say they have found evidence that Rebel EFI is based on open source boot-132 code. Apparently, the Darwin Universal Bootloader, the tool Psystar uses, contains the same strings as boot-132 and tools based on boot-132 (e.g. Chameleon). That of course wouldn't be a problem in and of itself, if it weren't for the fact that boot-132 is licensed under the Apple Public Source License, version 2. This is a license which contains a clause similar to the GPL in that when you ship modifications, you also have to provide the source code to anyone you shipped your product to. So far, Psystar has not done so, but it could theoretically be that if you ask them, they might provide it. Now, I place a certain amount of trust in Netkas' words, but his evidence isn't necessarily conclusive. More investigations into the matter will have to be performed to get more conclusive evidence. The Russian site has more information, but sadly, even though I know the Cyrillic alphabet, I don't know any Russian other than Правда and Перестройка, and I know enough about translation to not place any form of trust in automated translations (hint to Russian OSNews readers). Assuming Netkas is right, this is of course a very bad thing. EULAs can fall off a cliff for all I care, but an open source license which covers distribution is a completely different thing, as any open source advocate and anyone with common sense will tell you. Breaking them constitutes a breach of copyright, which is a serious offence. I'm not about ready to crucify Psystar just yet - first, let's await their response to this matter, as they might theoretically provide the source code upon request. Second, we do need more evidence (or someone needs to properly translate the Russian page). In any case, it doesn't look good. On a side note, I just got home from the Apple retailer, where I bought me a copy of Snow Leopard. In the coming days I will test out Psystar's whoever-owns-it Rebel EFI, and see if it's any good.

Proposal Submitted to Parliament on Plandaí's Behalf by Dr. Mario Oriani-Ambrosini, Legislator and Cannabis Advocate
Proposal Submitted to Parliament on Plandaí's Behalf by Dr. Mario Oriani-Ambrosini, Legislator and Cannabis Advocate
SEATTLE, WA--(Marketwired - Mar 24, 2014) - Plandaí Biotechnology, Inc. (OTCQB: PLPL), a producer of highly bioavailable plant extracts for industries including health, wellness, nutriceutical, and pharmaceutical, today announced the submission of a request for ministerial dispensation to the Secretary of Parliament of South Africa to permit cannabis research in South Africa for medicinal purposes. Dr. Mario Oriani-Ambrosini, a South African legislator battling terminal cancer, recently introduced legislation to permit medical marijuana research and usage that has generated a groundswell of popular support and led to the formation of The Cancer Treatment Campaign.
Dr. Oriani-Ambrosini, who has incurable cancer of the pleura, has sought inter alia via the Medical Innovations Bill to legalize the medicinal and industrial applications of the cannabis plant. Plandaí and the Cancer Treatment Campaign, together with Dr. Oriani-Ambrosini, are seeking a special ministerial dispensation to pursue methods of delivering a clinical dose of non-psychoactive nano-particle cannabinoid molecules. The proposed collective collaborative research project will be conducted by the universities of Cape Town, Mississippi, Alabama and North West, Potchefstroom, making this a uniquely African-American fight against the world scourge of cancer.
Plandaí's live-plant extraction process recovers phytonutrients from plant material in a mainly nano particle form and rearranges the antioxidants (polyenes) into a format bio-compatible with humans and animals. In addition, through Plandaí's agreement with North West University, South Africa, the company holds the world license to the Pheroid® patented entrapment system to deliver protected Phytofare™ antioxidants to the white blood cells. The result of these two combined technologies is the ability to finally deliver a clinical, pharmaceutical grade dose of cannabinoids to human tissues, thereby unlocking the promise of using natural products to fight many of mankind's most elusive and deadly diseases.
Apart from the well-known medical benefits of cannabis, such as reducing nausea, improving appetite, and reducing anxiety, cannabinoids have shown promise in multiple studies for treating various cancers, epilepsy, pain relief, and in neurological diseases including Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, dementia, and Multiple Sclerosis.
About Plandaí Biotechnology, Inc.
Plandaí Biotechnology, Inc. and its subsidiaries develop highly bioavailable, phytonutrient rich extracts which are being utilized to deliver a new family of drugs to safely and affordably treat a multitude of diseases and conditions. Plandaí Biotechnology controls every aspect of the process, from growing the raw materials on its farms in South Africa, to producing its patented Phytofare™ extracts in-house, allowing the Company to guarantee the continuity of supply as well as quality control throughout the entire process. Targeted industries for the Company's products include beverage, cosmeceutical, wellness, nutraceutical, anti-aging, and pharmaceutical.

Heavy Topped Pizzas
I use the pizza recipe from BBA. The dough itself is excellent, easy to work with and pretty solid flavor. The other day however, I ran into some problems.
I made a buffalo chicken pizza. Obviously, this is a topping with a good deal of weight and moisture. I tried to spread the crust as thin as possible in hopes of getting a crunch out of it. It backfired and all I got was a crust that couldn't hold the weight of the toppings. So, I remade the dough recipe and tried it again, leaving the dough a little thicker and allowing it to cook slightly longer and I replace the heavy toppings with a simple tomato sauce and mozzarella. When the pizza came out of the oven it looked great. Nice dark bubbles on the crust, crisp and sturdy. I put it down on my wooden cutting board to cut it and before I knew it the center of the pie was already soggy. I cut it and ate it and I noticed that the flavor of the crust was pretty good but the texture wasn't. It was too chewy although it did have a nice crunch.
So, to recap...My problems are, the center of the pie won't keep the crunch, or is too soggy, and the crust is slightly over chewy.
My next try, I'm going to up my dough weight from 6 ounces to 9 ounces and stretch it to the same size. Hoping the extra dough will sit in the center and give it some structure.
I've tried this dough with and without any fat in the recipe. I tend to leave it out for more crunch but haven't seen a difference in the way it changes the structure. Hoping someone might be able to shed some light on what I'm doing wrong.

Baidu revenue and profit growth rate slow in Q4
Baidu Inc, China's largest search engine company, reported its slowest profit growth since 2009, as competition in the sector heats up and more users switch to mobile search.
Shares of Baidu were down 6.7 per cent at $100.01 in after hours trading on Monday.
Baidu had previously warned of a soft fourth quarter as China's economy slows. Industry analysts warn that rapidly changing user habits and an increasingly crowded search market could weigh on revenue in the near future.
"That's the general concern, you're going to see moderation in topline growth and you're going to see margin compression," said Oppenheimer & Co analyst Andy Yeung.
Fourth-quarter revenue of $1.017 billion was above Wall Street targets and the company's own forecast of $979.3 million to $1.010 billion.
But the 41.6 per cent year-on-year revenue growth rate underscored a continuing slowdown in Baidu's revenue growth, which expanded at roughly double that pace in the year-ago period.
Baidu said its revenue per online marketing customer fell slightly compared to the third quarter, even as its traffic acquisition costs grew to represent a larger share of total revenue.
Morningstar analyst Dan Su said the higher traffic acquisition costs reflect increasing competition from Qihoo, an Internet browser and China's largest free anti-virus software maker that launched a search engine in August to compete with Baidu.
Qihoo has so far gained only a small share of the search market, with Baidu still holding around 80 per cent, according to research firm Analysys International. But analysts expect Qihoo to ramp up its search monetization products early this year to better compete.
At the same time, users are increasingly accessing Baidu's search services on mobile while the bulk of the company's revenue stems from desktop-based searches.
"The key question here is, going forward, will Baidu be able to really leverage its investments in the new products and services to really cement its position on the mobile front and to handle the competition in the PC search," said Morningstar's Su.
Baidu's net income of $448.7 million increased roughly 36 per cent year-on-year. The company said it earned $1.28 per American Depository Share, in line with Wall Street expectations.
For the first quarter, Baidu said it expects revenue between $945.4 million and $975.9 million. Analysts polled by Thomson Reuters I/B/E/S were looking for revenue of $964 million on average in the first quarter.
Baidu shares have fallen about 7 per cent since the end of September.

Recipe: Homemade Hummus
When I wrote the tagline on this blog, it was really just a placeholder. Most author sites have something terribly clever as a tagline, and I was sure something brilliant would come to me.
Well, I'm still waiting.
There is a famous author, whose name escapes me, who advises new writers to never associate a bad habit with writing, or you won't be able to write without your habit. I quit smoking years ago, and I don't drink other than the occasional frozen slushie thing with an umbrella. I figured I was clear.
That was five pounds ago.
I'm trying to break the habit of eating at the computer, in baby steps. I have stopped purchasing goldfish crackers, because even my toddler was giving me a skeptical look when I put them in the cart "for him." Ditto Veggie Booty. Ditto cheese sticks. Delicious, tasty cheese sticks. /sigh
Storebought hummus became the substitute, until I realized how much money I was dumping down the drain. Holy guacamole (another thing I've stopped eating). Fortunately, I found a recipe a few months ago. After some experimentation, I figured out how to make it exactly the way I like it. I make a double batch, which happens to fit perfectly into one of those disposable storage tubs that sandwich meat comes packed in these days.
Hummus, Kathleen Style
1 can chickpeas
3 TBS olive oil
2 TBS tahini paste (look for the real thing that doesn't have extra ingredients like garlic)
2 TBS lemon juice
2 TBS water
1 large clove fresh garlic, pressed
1/8 tsp cayenne pepper
1/4 tsp salt
Rinse the chickpeas to get the gooey stuff they're packed in completely off. Dump them into the blender. Add everything else. Turn blender onto "puree" with the lid closed. No, for real, I'm still finding bits of hummus in weird places. Once it's partially pureed, you can take the lid off. While it's still going, use a spatula to scrape down the sides and encourage un-smashed chickpeas to go to their deaths. Once you've got it to the consistency that you like, stop the blender. Pack into a storage dish.
Do not eat straight from storage container with chunks of pita you rip off in hunks like a wildebeest dining on the savannah. Go to the trouble of cutting up some pita, spooning out the hummus, and garnishing with paprika. Otherwise you might finish a new chapter and an entire tub of hummus in one sitting. Trust me on that.

He was one of the first of our scene to pass and one of the last friends i really remember dying from AIDS (thankfully!). Aaron was a resident DJ at Love garage in 1993 and any and every time i hear this track, i think of him and the amazing music and times we had with the true amazing early 1990's house music! Here is to you Aaron! You will live forever in my memory as this tune does….

Sure, but anyone on this list who has ever run a Linux based client server desktop LAN (which I have, off and on, for around 12 years now, with Unix LANs in general now up to around 22 years) knows that Linux beats MS hands down, no questions asked, go home boys on this PROVIDED ONLY that you choose your hardware sensibly. Linux approaches the theoretical limits of management scalability -- install your system by making a single table entry and turning it on (having kindly asked the vendor to preset the BIOS to boot via DHCP). Then forget it. It configures up with all user account space set up and ready to roll. It automatically updates itself. It is far more secure out of the box than any version of Windows I've ever heard of, and the updates actually release fixes for critical problems in LESS than six months, usually. It does require somebody with perhaps more native intelligence than your typical MCSE -- not to dis on MCSEs, but there it is -- to set this up, but once set up (which is not that difficult) it takes VERY little time to actually run. Most Linux admins I know are limited in their work by the frequency of HARDWARE problems, not software, on a background of user support. With MS, it tends to be the other way around -- one spends far more time supporting, tweaking, fixing, rebooting the software, with about the SAME (or a bit more) user support, and with of course the same base hardware support. So obviously, you can do a lot fewer systems. I don't know that I agree about the application richness of Win compared to Lin anymore. Lin out of the box comes with far more stuff installed or immediately available than any Win system, and there is a high cost to even achieving approximate parity with Lin on the big stuff, -- Office, Web etc. And one can turn a Linux desktop into a Linux server by going "Poof! You're a server!" For free. In a matter of five minutes, at any time. yum install apache, plus a bit of this and that. Been there, done that, totally casually as I decide that I do want my current laptop to have a development webserver. My sister works in a serious software devel shop with lots of servers and mainframes and all (old legacy app stuff) and she is constantly amazed that my laptop is effortlessly more powerful and better equipped to do ALL the jobs of both developer and server than most of the hardware and software she works on and with. Windows still rules with games. Windows definitely still rules with certain "mission critical applications" that only run on Windows (although they aren't EVERYBODY'S mission critical applications). But for ordinary daily desktop usage in a business setting, Win has long since fallen BEHIND Lin, with even its edge in hardware drivers and support steadily dwindling. And yeah, then there is programming and development and HPC. Here Linux continues to reign more or less unchallenged, and with the exception of commercial applications with narrowly targeted but lucrative markets, I expect that it will remain so. rgb > Windows in a development intensive, HPC environment, is going to be admin expensive. > > Jim > > > -- Robert G.

Weight: 4oz matte vinyl
Durability: Our custom printed banners are made from heavy duty 13oz material. This material weight is not only light, but also durable. 13 oz weight is also easy to move around and mount at various locations. We've tried 10oz, 14oz, 16oz, and 20oz materials in the past. The 13 ounce banner weight ended up being the best option for most applications.
Mounting: The vinyl banners will come hemmed and grommetted every 2 feet. This will allow easy assembly of the banner at various locations, such as walls, doors, roofs, shelves, and etc. For large prints, be sure to use every available grommet for a proper hold.
Produce Time: You can't advertise your business without having signs, so we know the urgency of getting these banners to you as soon as possible. Production starts as soon as you complete the order and approve your proof. These banners are usually shipping within 1 business days. Order over $100 and get free shipping on your order with coupon code FREESHIP.
Banner Production: We use large format printers to print directly onto the vinyl material. We create and import our own materials, so you can rest assured that we you are getting the highest quality prints. Our printers use a 4 color CMYK print process, which results in a banner with rich and vibrant colors.
Finishing: Our custom vinyl banners will come with grommets every 2 feet to help with hanging or mounting your banner. Looking to get grommets at only specific locations? Let us know. We'll finish as you would like. Be sure to notify us of special finishing before your order goes into production.

Banner Care: To increase the lifespan and preserve the print, be sure to store your banner at room temperature. Rolling the banner up is the best way to store it. This will prevent fold-lines and other damage. Once the banner is under the sun for a few ours, any wrinkles you see should go away. If you've been using the water, be sure to wipe it down with a warm cloth and let it dry – prior to storing it away.

Hello there, fellow millennials, and congrats on graduating college.
It's a wonder you could accomplish this, but it's a good thing you did. You see, according to the cover of Time magazine this week, you and I are "The Me Me Me Generation." We are "lazy, entitled narcissists who still live with [our] parents."
The good news, according to Time's cover, is that we're going to save everyone.
Joel Stein's story on millennials is not free, and as a 24-year-old only fresh(ish) out of college myself, my bank account is horrifyingly deep in the red, so I won't be paying to read it to find out how. But Stein and Time assure us that there are tons of statistics to back this up.
I should take a Lucille Bluth approach: "If that's a veiled criticism of me, I won't hear it and I won't understand it." But I can't ignore it and I'm feeling impetuous. I need to vent.
Rather than walk out the office doors -- middle fingers in the air, leaving older generations to fix everything while I lounge around and sext -- I'd like to celebrate being young and ready to take on the world with you, grads. The world is our rotting, leftover oyster without a pearl.
So, on the eve of your entry into the "real world," let's party. And though other generations made absolutely fantastic contributions to music, this party is Millennials Only. Our generation gets to claim Frank Ocean, Janelle Monae, MGMT, Passion Pit, Sleigh Bells, Japandroids, Vampire Weekend, Miguel, Kendrick Lamar ... I could go on and on.
And not only is the music good, the artists are changing the way we think and talk about it. Michael Angelakos is outspoken (and well-spoken) about mental illness. Grimes is standing up for women in music. Frank Ocean, of course, is changing what sexuality means in hip hop. We can argue about Macklemore and Azealia Banks until our illegal downloads are done, but ... well, whatever.
Take a page out of these songbooks and go do something great. I don't care if you do it from your parents' house (but maybe don't hang around too long). I don't care if you have the conversation that changes the world in Gchat. And I don't care if you make excellent music on your laptop. Just go kick life's ass.
Here is your graduation playlist -- by millennials, for millennials:
"Time To Pretend," MGMT
"Carried Away," Passion Pit
"Tounge Tied," Grouplove
"Younger Us," Japandroids
"Diane Young," Vampire Weekend
"Q.U.E.E.N." Janelle Monae feat. Erykah Badu
"Sweet Life," Frank Ocean
"How Many Drinks?" Miguel feat. Kendrick Lamar
"Oblivion," Grimes
"Losing You," Solange
"Red Lips," Sky Ferreira
"1991," Azealia Banks
"Comeback Kid," Sleigh Bells


text: Personally, I don't think this is much of an issue as a "criminal cluster". The problem with is being used as a cluster is typical of the mind set of seeing a lot of nice, shiny new computers and saying "oh wouldn't that make a great linux cluster". The systems are too spaced out and not a high availability system. This would prevent a good run of something like the LINPACK benchmark or other linear algebra packages. The issue could be if they developed something more along the lines of a distributed system like SETI at home/BOINC which usually only works for highly or embarrisingly parallel jobs. Personally, while I don't see it as much of a threat from that angle as from an invasion of privacy/stealing personal data, I certainly hope my notion that nothing happens is true.

2 p.m: After Baghdad, what next? Here's an idea: Invade Syria.
Lebanese newspaper editor Talal Salman brought up the idea in an interview with Syrian President Bashar Assad, published on March 27. "It has been said that war plans against Iraq were hatched before 9/11," Salman asserted. "The list of countries included Afghanistan, then Iraq, Syria, and Iran. In the new plan of aggression, Syria is on one of the lists." Rather than demand evidence, Assad replied, "Even if they had not included Syria in this plan, the probability was always there. That means that we are not going to wait until they include Syria in the plan and declare that or not. … Some Arab capitals will stand beside Baghdad. When I talk about some Arab capitals, it does not make sense to exclude Syria."
Was Assad pledging to fight the United States? On March 28, U.S. Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld warned him, "We have information that shipments of military supplies have been crossing the border from Syria into Iraq, including night-vision goggles. These deliveries pose a direct threat to the lives of coalition forces. We consider such trafficking as hostile acts and will hold the Syrian government accountable for such shipments." When asked whether he was "threatening military action against Syria," Rumsfeld refused to answer.
Last Sunday, Rumsfeld predicted that after his warning to the Syrians, "My guess is that they'll be more careful." But on Thursday, when asked whether he had seen any signs of change, he replied, "Syria is continuing to conduct itself the way it was prior to the time I said what I said."
Last year, I noted that Syria met seven of the eight criteria cited by then-House Majority Whip Tom DeLay, R-Texas, as reasons to invade Iraq. DeLay's speech, reportedly vetted by National Security Adviser Condoleezza Rice, essentially summarized President Bush's arguments for war. According to reports by the CIA, State Department, and other agencies, Syria supported terrorism, possessed weapons of mass destruction, violated human rights, thwarted democracy, had invaded its neighbors, and had violated a biological weapons treaty.
On Monday, the State Department issued a new report reaffirming Syria's status as an abuser of human rights. Syrian security forces operate "outside the legal system" and commit "serious human rights abuses," said the report. "Continuing serious abuses included the use of torture in detention; poor prison conditions; arbitrary arrest and detention; [and] prolonged detention without trial."
I'm not advocating an invasion of Syria. I'd distinguish it from Iraq on three grounds: 1) Its worst offenses took place under the father of its current dictator; 2) it hasn't used its WMD in battle; and 3) it has evaded international WMD agreements far less extensively, flagrantly, and persistently than has Iraq. But I'd like to know whether Bush would draw the same distinctions—or, if not, how he would justify invading one country but not the other.
In his State of the Union message two months ago, Bush said of Saddam Hussein's torture methods, "If this is not evil, then evil has no meaning." That's a good way to put the Syrian question to Bush. If your doctrine of changing evil regimes doesn't apply to Syria, Mr. President, what meaning does your doctrine have?

8:30 a.m.: Jessica, Jessica, Jessica. In case you've been without electricity or human contact for the past 24 hours, I'm referring to Jessica Lynch, the U.S. Army POW who was rescued yesterday from Iraq. Last night on television, it was wall-to-wall Jessica. Today in the newspapers, it's yards of column inches on Jessica. U.S. Central Command trumpeted her rescue last night and played video of it at a briefing this morning.
I don't mean to be callous or unpatriotic, but why are we celebrating so loudly? Before this war began, Jessica Lynch was safe and unharmed. Now she's safe and harmed. She went into Iraq with a 15-member company. She came out alone. Her company didn't take its casualties while fighting for a bridge or an airfield. It took them because it made a wrong turn.
Worst of all, Lynch isn't one of the millions of Iraqis we're supposed to be liberating. She's one of the putative liberators. We've said this war isn't an invasion. We've said it isn't for us but for Iraq. And yet, while the average Iraqi's liberation gets no Pentagon fanfare and no air time, the liberation of Jessica Lynch is a 24-hour mediathon. We're celebrating her rescue for the worst of all reasons: because she's American.
2:50 p.m.: On Saturday, at a checkpoint near Najaf, Iraq, four American soldiers stopped a man who appeared to be a taxi driver. His car exploded, killing them all. Iraqi officials later said the man was an Iraqi military officer.
On Sunday, a contract worker at a U.S. Army camp in Kuwait, allegedly having locked his colleagues in a trailer, drove a pickup truck into 13 American soldiers.
On Monday, at a second checkpoint near Najaf, a car approached a group of U.S. Marines. According to the Pentagon, the driver ignored warning shots. Fearing another suicide attack, the Marines fired into the car. Afterward, inside the vehicle, they found more than a dozen women and children, most of them killed by the Marines' weapons.
What's the moral of the story? Let's consult the expert, Aesop. In the Wolf in Sheep's Clothing, he wrote:
A wolf found great difficulty in getting at the sheep owing to the vigilance of the shepherd and his dogs. But one day it found the skin of a sheep that had been flayed and thrown aside, so it put it on over its own pelt and strolled down among the sheep. The lamb that belonged to the sheep, whose skin the wolf was wearing, began to follow the wolf in the sheep's clothing; so, leading the lamb a little apart, he soon made a meal off her, and for some time he succeeded in deceiving the sheep, and enjoying hearty meals.
In the Boy Who Cried Wolf, Aesop told a different tale:
A shepherd-boy, who watched a flock of sheep near a village, brought out the villagers three or four times by crying out, "Wolf! Wolf!" and when his neighbors came to help him, laughed at them for their pains. The wolf, however, did truly come at last. The shepherd-boy, now really alarmed, shouted in an agony of terror: "Pray, do come and help me; the wolf is killing the sheep"; but no one paid any heed to his cries, nor rendered any assistance. The wolf, having no cause of fear, at his leisure lacerated or destroyed the whole flock.
Separately, each fable makes sense: Watch out for wolves dressed as sheep, and don't commit serial deception, or people will stop believing you. But what happens when the two stories merge into one? What happens when the serial deception consists of wolves dressing as sheep? What if people begin to suspect not that every boy who cries wolf is lying, but that every sheep is a wolf in sheep's clothing?
That's what's happening in Iraq right now. According to multiple witnesses, many Iraqi soldiers are dressing as civilians, shooting from houses, traveling in civilian cars, using pedestrians as shields, and firing artillery from residential neighborhoods. In the first Najaf incident, they began to use a tactic that Iraqi officials promise to exploit further: disguising themselves as civilians to commit suicide bombings. They're making British and American soldiers afraid that every sheep could be a wolf in sheep's clothing. The danger raised by this serial deception isn't that the Brits and Americans won't believe it when a wolf is coming. The danger is that they won't believe it when a sheep is coming.
In the fable of the boy who cried wolf, the deceiver pays the price. But in the twisted version unfolding in Iraq, only the victims and dupes suffer. More civilians die, because U.S. and British troops have trouble distinguishing them from disguised soldiers. And outrage against the invaders grows, because nobody blames the wolves who dressed as sheep on Saturday or Sunday for the sheep who were mistaken for wolves on Monday. That's the moral of the story: When scrutiny is reserved for the other side, crime pays.

1:15 p.m.: On Saturday, Iraqi Vice President Taha Yassin Ramadan issued the following statements about Iraqi military methods and targets:
1) "We will use any means to kill our enemy in our land, and we will follow the enemy into its land."
2) Arabs should "turn every country in the Arab world into a battlefield, not only against those who wear the military uniforms of the United States and the United Kingdom, but against all who support them."
3) "If the B-52 bomber can kill 500 people at one time, I am sure that our operations by freedom fighters will be able to kill 5,000 people."
At face value, these statements dispense with months of debate over covert, indirect Iraqi sponsorship of terrorism. Iraq, represented by its third-highest ranking official, now embraces terrorism openly and directly. Any regime that threatens to "use any means to kill," "follow the enemy into its land," "kill 5,000 people" at one time, and take the battle to "all who support" American and British troops—not just "those who wear the military uniforms"—is implicitly targeting civilians. By any definition, that's the essence of terrorism.
U.N. Security Council Resolution 1441, adopted unanimously last November, threatened Iraq with "serious consequences" based on Resolution 687 of 1991. Paragraph 32 of Resolution 687 required Iraq "to inform the Security Council that it will not commit or support any act of international terrorism … and to condemn unequivocally and renounce all acts, methods and practices of terrorism." Paragraph 33 stipulated that a cease-fire of the Persian Gulf War was contingent "upon official notification by Iraq … to the Security Council of its acceptance of the provisions above." In other words, if Iraq violated its pledge to renounce terrorism, it would void the cease-fire and renew the war.
As permanent members of the council, France, Russia, and China voted for Resolution 687. So did Belgium, which held a rotating membership on the council at the time.
All of which raises two questions. To the government of Iraq: How can Vice President Ramadan's statements be reconciled with your obligations under Resolution 687? And to the governments of France, Russia, and China: If the statements can't be reconciled with the resolution, will you honor the resolution and rejoin the war?

12:45 p.m.: The Gulf War second-guessers are back. Shiites in southern Iraq haven't welcomed U.S. or British troops as advertised, and the second-guessers think they know why. Shiites are "still aggrieved over then-President George H. W. Bush's encouragement of an uprising in 1991 and his subsequent refusal to support it," says the Washington Post. Robert Bartley of the Wall Street Journal claims we could have avoided the current mess by aiding the Shiites back then. London Independent columnist Donald MacIntyre argues that the Shiites are right to lie low, "given the US abandonment in 1991 of the uprising [Americans] had called for." Gerard Baker of the Financial Times asks, "How many of the Shias … watched as relatives and friends were taken off to be executed once their last US incited uprising had been quelled. And how many blame it on American perfidy?"
For those of you who don't play competitive Scrabble, perfidy means treachery. The charge is that the Shiites shouldn't trust us because we broke our promise. That's exactly wrong. The promise we made in the Gulf War was to stay out of Iraq, and we kept it. That's why people should trust us now when we promise to get rid of Saddam Hussein.
U.N. Security Council Resolution 660, adopted on Aug. 2, 1990, defined the objective toward which the Security Council subsequently authorized military action in the gulf. It demanded that Iraqi forces withdraw "to the positions in which they were located on 1 August 1990." No resolution prior to or during the war authorized the U.S.-led coalition to invade Iraq.
In March 1991, a few days after Saddam's troops fled Kuwait, U.S. Defense Secretary Dick Cheney was asked whether the coalition would go into Iraq to "stabilize" it. Cheney acknowledged the unrest in southern Iraq but warned,
We are reluctant as a government and as a coalition to get into the business of internal Iraqi politics. We could have set, as an objective of the coalition, the toppling of Saddam Hussein's government. We did not do that. … It would be very difficult for us to hold the coalition together for any particular course of action dealing with internal Iraqi politics, and I don't think, at this point, that our writ extends … to trying to move inside Iraq and deal with their internal problems.
This wasn't just prudent, Cheney argued; it was a matter of trust. The coalition's mandate had been established months earlier in Resolution 660 and in discussions with King Fahd of Saudi Arabia about hosting the coalition's troops. As Cheney described it,
When the President offered to send forces, King Fahd agreed, and he did so on the basis that he knew he could trust the United States of America; that we would come, we would keep our word, we would bring enough force to be able to roll back Saddam Hussein's aggression, and that when we were no longer needed or no longer wanted, we would leave. … It was that element, I think, of trust that played very prominently in the willingness of so many nations to tie their own circumstances and policies to those of the United States.
In view of that understanding, Bush had no business promising to send troops into Iraq to assist a Shiite uprising. And in fact, he didn't. Three weeks into the war, Bush observed, "There's another way for the bloodshed to stop, and that is for the Iraqi military and the Iraqi people to take matters into their own hands and force Saddam Hussein, the dictator, to step aside, and then comply with the United Nations resolutions." That was a fact and a suggestion, no less true or wise than an equivalent remark about the Cuban or Serbian people. But it wasn't a promise. We couldn't promise the Shiites we would enter Iraq, since we had already promised our coalition partners we wouldn't.
We made a deal. The deal was to limit the mission. Without that deal, we wouldn't have gotten U.N. support or possibly even an adjacent staging ground. You can't praise Bush in one breath for assembling that coalition and fault him in the next for not "going to Baghdad." You can't accuse the United States of treachery for staying out of the 1991 uprisings. And you can't say we'd have more credibility now if we'd gone in then.
Credibility doesn't come from doing what seems, on second thought, a nobler thing. It comes from doing what you said you'd do. Last time, we said we'd stop at the Iraqi border, and we did. This time, we said we'd finish off Saddam, and we will. Believe it.

Two children were killed in a house fire on Prospect Street early Tuesday morning, a fire so intense it prevented rescuers from entering the home. "We knew early on that this was a recovery and not a rescue," said Assistant Chief Norman Perron.
The office of Connecticut's chief medical examiner said two girls found dead after a house fire in Putnam died of smoke inhalation.
The girls were identified as Alexis Auger and her younger sister, Ava Auger, according to the Associated Press.
The two children, ages 3 years old and 9 months old, were unable to escape their third floor apartment at 6-8 Prospect St.
The fire was reported at 12:40 a.m. Tuesday.
Firefighters said the intense flames and heavy smoke prevented anyone from entering the Victorian-style home.
According to assessor's records, the house is owned by Eastern Connecticut Contractors.
The Victorian-style home was built in 1867 and was converted into five apartments; its assessed value was $292,000.
The girls' mother, who is pregnant, has been hospitalized. Four others were treated for nonlife-threatening injuries.
The cause of death was released Wednesday following autopsies by the medical examiner's office.
Fire Marshal Norm Perron said fire was caused by accident but it will be difficult to determine the origin because the damage is so widespread, according to the Associated Press.
The structural damage to the home was so significant that it needed to be stabilized before state troopers and firefighters could enter to begin their investigation, according to Connecticut State Police.
The bodies of the children were found on the third floor.
The mother "was hysterical. She was not doing well," Assistant Fire Chief and Putnam Fire Marshal Norman Perron said. Because of her condition, she was taken to Day Kimball Hospital and then to UMass Memorial Medical Center — University Campus in Worcester. Her condition was unavailable.
Four other people were taken to Day Kimball Hospital for treatment of injuries that were not life-threatening injuries. Assistant Chief Perron said he believed those four were suffering from smoke inhalation.
Connecticut State Police said this morning the names of the two children who died will be released following an autopsy by the state medical examiner. That part of the investigation could be completed by this afternoon.
Fire investigators are trying to determine the cause of the fire, which was reported at 12:40 a.m. at 6-8 Prospect St., a house that had been converted into five apartments.
"We knew early on that this was a recovery and not a rescue," Assistant Chief Perron said.
The roof of the Putnam home was engulfed in flames when firefighters arrived about 1 a.m., and it later collapsed into the third floor, where the children were said to be, authorities said. The fire wasn't under control until about 6:30 a.m.
"There was a substantial amount of fire and heavy, dense smoke," Assistant Chief Perron said. The firefighters first into the building could not make it up the stairs before they were pushed back by the fire and smoke, he said. "It was not the kind of conditions that were survivable."
According to assessor's records, the house is owned by Eastern Connecticut Contractors. The Victorian-style home was built in 1867 and was converted into five apartments; its assessed value was $292,000.
Soot-colored ice clung to the side of the white home Tuesday after the fire. Windows on all three floors were shattered. On the first floor, soggy red drapes dangled over the mint-green windowsill trim; in another room stood an empty clothes drying rack. On the second floor, mangled miniblinds hung out a window. Frozen potted plants lined the stone steps and stone walls. The roof was caved in, exposing the charred upper floor.
The structural damage to the home was so significant that it needed to be stabilized before state troopers and firefighters could enter to begin their investigation, according to Connecticut State Police Lt. J. Paul Vance.
Investigators — including a state police officer and cadaver dog — combed through the debris into the late afternoon. The bodies of the children were found on the third floor, and were taken to the Office of the Chief State Medical Examiner for an autopsy to determine how they died.
"Your heart just aches for them," said Josh Peach, a neighbor who was at home yesterday with his wife, Kara, and their young daughter.
"My dad called last night when he heard about the fire and asked it we knew what house was on fire and if everybody got out," Mrs. Peach said. "Then I looked out the window and saw all the fire and smoke. There were a lot of flames."
Mrs. Peach, a local hairdresser, said one of her clients lived in one of the apartments and made it out safely.
Neighbor Brian Vaiciulis said the sound of a truck engine woke him up about 1:20 a.m.
"I got up and I saw the lights on the firetrucks," said Mr. Vaiciulis, who didn't know any residents of the house that caught fire. "Then I saw the flames over the house next door. They were pretty high."
State police fire and explosion detectives and Eastern District major crime detectives working with the Putnam fire marshal are investigating to determine the cause and origin of the fire. Fire and life safety specialists from the state fire marshal's office also went to the scene to check for any code violations.
Meanwhile, state police major crime detectives are doing an "untimely death" investigation, with the assistance of the Putnam police.
Material from The Associated Press was used in this report.

I have decided that this year I will not do any Christmas shopping in stores now that the leading cause of death in this country is Black Friday sales at Walmart. As an alternative, I did some window-shopping at Christmas Village in center city's Love Park the other night. The Village, which is modeled after a traditional German Christmas Market, was created in 2008. It changed its name to "Holiday Village" in 2010, when non-Christians complained, and then back to "Christmas Village" this year, when people who don't like the word "holiday" complained.
It has alternately been known as "Cashmas Village," "Ka-Chingmas Village," and "Kitsch Wonderland." Anyway, I wanted to see what's hot for gift-giving this year, and there are indeed a number of interesting new items out there.
•One of the most popular is the Double-Barreled Taser. It allows you to tase two people at once without needing to reload. Very useful for bar fights or for when you're simultaneously mugged by two people at once or for when a crazed shopper at Walmart is pepper-spraying you, which so often happens.
•There's an exciting new iPhone app called, "Miss Manners." It has a sensor that detects situations requiring a "Please," "Thank you" or "Excuse me," and then the phone actually says it for you in a pleasant female voice. This frees the user from the need to know or understand any conventions of polite society. A real time-saver.
•Another new item is "Pennsylvania Perrier." It's actually flavored fracking fluid. According to a natural gas spokesperson (who was naturally gassy), "It's already in your water. You're drinking it anyway, so why not have some fun with it?" Comes in five fruity flavors.
•How about a Newt Gingrich tie embroidered with Tiffany diamonds that spell out, "Take a bath, get a job," Gingrich's famous advice to the Occupy Wall Street folks? (I recently read that Newt once experimented with compassion, but he quickly gave it up because it gave him stomach cramps.)
•I bought a pair of new running shoes for a friend of mine whose shoes wore out after he took part in the New Jersey Marathon, which is not like any other marathon race in the world. The New Jersey Marathon consisted of running 100 times around Governor Christie.
•Also available are boxed sets of "Occupy" action figures, including Bongo Billy, Radical Randy, Smelly Kelly and Bob the Slob. In addition, they have T-shirts saying, "Occupy THIS," and there are even DVDs of "Occupy Wall Street, The Musical" (made possible by a grant from Exxon).
I found all this commercialization of a serious political movement to be disturbing, so I asked to speak to someone in charge. I was directed to a cottage made out of fruitcake, where I found a bearded gentleman named Olaf Kringleberry, who claimed to be the Burgermeister of Christmas Village.
I asked him if he didn't find all that "Occupy" merchandise to be a bit exploitive. "Sure it is," he said. "So what? Somebody's got to make some money off of them. Those Occupy people are all about supporting small business; right? Well these items were made by elves. You can't get much smaller than that.
"Let me tell you something, Sonny. Social movements are always exploited by the establishment. That's how they get defused. Back in the 1960s, when Tony the Tiger changed his catch phrase from 'They're Grrreat' to 'Right On,' it was the beginning of the end for the Black Power movement. Today, there are hardly any Black Panthers, but there are plenty of Frosted Flakes. And to derail women's lib, they came up with 'The No-bra Bra' and 'No-makeup Makeup.' Nowadays, women are buying more makeup than Barnum and Bailey.
"Listen, it's a good thing that the city evicted those Occupy Philly people when they did, because we Christmas Villagers were in the process of mounting a crusade. We were going to charge over there on our reindeer and club them into submission with giant candy canes.
"First of all, they were squatting on OUR land. Dilworth Plaza was given to us by God, or maybe it was Mayor Nutter. I can't remember, but anyway, it was someone in authority. And second, they're heathens. They don't even believe in the Almighty Dollar.
"If you really want to help your country, you'll go out there and buy a bunch of junk you can't really afford and that the recipients don't really want, which will make them recycle it. It's the patriotic thing to do. Here's a coupon good for 1% off any $1,000 purchase … And when the Christmas season is over and the Occupy people are all gone, the plaza can be returned to its rightful owners — guys selling crack."
As I stepped into the crisp night air, clutching my coupon, somewhat confused, I heard the tower bell strike 12. I looked across Kennedy Boulevard to see a lone bulldozer pushing the crumpled remains of a crushed encampment out to the curb. I thought of those immortal words of William Shakespeare (or was it Mayor Nutter?): "You can't fight City Hall."

A week after finally putting to rest rumors that Ford (NYSE:F) CEO Alan Mulally would replace Steve Ballmer at the helm of Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT), a new report names Ericsson (NASDAQ:ERIC) chief Hans Vestberg as the newest frontrunner.
Continue Reading Below
Vestberg, 48, is being considered along with other candidates, according to a report by Bloomberg News citing "people briefed on the matter."
The software maker reiterated its previous comments on the talent hunt, saying it does not comment on individual names "out of respect for the process and the potential candidates."
Other candidates believed to be in the running are Microsoft cloud executive Satya Nadella, former Skype chief Tony Bates and former Nokia (NYSE:NOK) chief Stephen Elop.
Microsoft said in December it would likely make a formal decision early this year. The Windows 8 maker last month said it cast a "wide net," considering more than 100 internal and external candidates and talking seriously to about 20 of those people.
Ballmer announced plans to retire last summer. For several months, Ford's Mulally had been believed to be the frontrunner, but the auto chief told the Associated Press last week that he had no plans to leave Ford this year.
Shares of Redmond, Wash.-based Microsoft were down about 0.85% to $36.45 in recent trade. They are up about 35% over the last 12 months.

It was one of those forgettable days for Jeromy Burnitz, who went from being in a foul mood to feeling like a fool.
And it was one of those frustrating days for the Cubs, again, as they lost one more one-run game, 4-3, to the Washington Nationals at Wrigley Field.
If you want to know why Washington is leading the National League East and the Cubs are second in the NL Central, consider that the Nationals are 21-7 in one-run games, the Cubs 13-11.
"These are games we need to win from here on out if we want to contend," said Burnitz, who took full responsibility for this one.
During a wacky eighth inning, Burnitz at first thought he was the hero with a game-tying home run, then later knew he was the goat after getting picked off third base.
"A big mistake in that situation," he said. "I wish I could take it back, but I can't. I got off too far and got picked off."
Here's what happened in that eighth inning with the Cubs trailing 4-2:
Derrek Lee's fly ball to right field was lost in the sun for a triple. Burnitz hit the next pitch from Livan Hernandez high over the right-field foul pole, and first-base umpire Brian O'Nora called it fair.
Game tied 4-4?
Not so fast. The Nationals rushed en masse toward O'Nora, who then called for an umpire huddle. The call was reversed.
But Burnitz still came through with an RBI double to make it 4-3, then moved to third with the potential tying run on Todd Walker's fly out. With Todd Hollandsworth hoping to tie the game with a hit or sacrifice fly, catcher Brian Schneider saw Burnitz stray too far off third and gunned him down.
It was basically the last gasp for the Cubs.
"I have to be more on my toes," Burnitz said. "You can't do that under any circumstances."
"That's the first mistake Jeromy has made for as long as I remember," said Cubs manager Dusty Baker, who added he had "nothing bad to say about Jeromy" after all the good he has done.
Baker agreed the umpires made the right call on the home run-that-wasn't, even though he put up a mild argument.
"They didn't have to tell me anything," he said. "From the dugout you could see it was foul."
It was a strange ending to an afternoon where the Cubs, again, weren't good enough to win, either offensively or on the mound.
Mark Prior (5-2) started for the second time since coming off the disabled list and left after five innings down 3-0. The Cubs closed the deficit to one run in the sixth with homers by Lee, his 24th, and Hollandsworth.
All of the runs Prior allowed were with two outs, as was the fourth run charged to Glendon Rusch. On Thursday, Cubs pitchers allowed seven runs after getting two outs.
Meanwhile, Cubs batters left seven runners on base against Hernandez, who ran his record to 12-2 with his 11th straight victory, and Hector Carrasco.
In the second inning, the Cubs put the first two batters on only to have Hollandsworth hit into a double play and Jose Macias ground out. They let a leadoff single go for nothing in the third. And in the seventh, Corey Patterson was left at third base after a two-out triple when Neifi Perez lined out.


text: Photos of 19th-Century Tattooed Japanese Mail Runners By Alison Nastasi (Article originally appears at Flavorwire.com) Who runs around wearing a loincloth, covered in tattoos, and delivers mail on a stick while managing not to look like an absolute fool? Japanese mail runners during the 19th century, that's who — and they put modern bike messengers to shame. During the Edo period, tattoos became a popular form of art, and these guys are sporting some fantastic ink... Some historians debate that skin art was mainly a phenomenon amongst the lower class, but Okinawa Soba — the culture purveyor who published these wonderful hand colored photos that we found on Retronaut — points out, "the tattoo showed up everywhere in Japan — from the Ainu in the North, to the Okinawans in the South." Check out more mail runners in our gallery (below), and feel sad that you'll never look this badass in your life. All photos by Okinawa Soba For more info visit: www.flaorwire.com

Column: Like Communication, A Little Zoning Goes a Long Way
It isn't something that occurs to most of us very often, but there are few government actions that have the immediate power of a zoning decision. Deciding what can be built where tends to have significant consequences for the lives of the people already living there, especially if they are the property owners.
For the most part, areas zoned for residential use allow only homes and apartments. Sometimes zoning rules are so specific they allow only single-family houses. On the opposite end of the spectrum is mixed use or commercial zoning, where pretty much anything goes. Again, sometimes super specific zoning allows only certain types of businesses, i.e. retail or office, but for the most part if you wanted to build a house there, you could.
Generally speaking, the big threat to the property values of homes is that something obnoxious will be built nearby. What counts as being obnoxious is surprisingly benign. Something as simple as a gas station built next door likely means more trash in your front yard, more traffic and what not, and would dramatically affect the resale value of your house.
As a society, we need gas stations, but no one wants to live right next to them. If where you live has some locational value to businesses, the only thing preventing that from happening is how your neighborhood is zoned. As a result, seeing your neighborhood be rezoned for mixed use because business are asking for it, is about the worst thing that can happen to your property value.
It seems like that just happened to wide swaths of Sioux Falls at Tuesday's city council meeting. There was a standing room only crowd there asking to delay passage of the city's new master plan, so that people could have more time to review the document, but the council ignored their pleas and voted overwhelmingly to approve the plan.
Council members argued that there has been a healthy number of public information meetings that people should have come to if they wanted to voice their concerns. You remember all those, right? I mean they were so widely publicized that the local media spoke of nothing else for days on end, you remember that don't you?
It may turn out that the new master plan is good for the city, that sensible and necessary updates were made; but let's be serious for a minute. The reason that there was a standing room only crowd on Tuesday, and probably next to no one at any of the informational meetings is because this is the first that most people have heard about it. If you don't think that this was by design, if you don't think that the council didn't really want people to know what was going on, go right now and have a look at the city's zoning ordinance web page and try to find out what this plan will mean for your immediate area.
Council members aren't going to get serious about communicating their intentions until we the people get serious about communicating our intentions at the ballot box.

There seem to be a lot of people out there that have what they consider to be Cray-sized problems, or atleast aspirations of Cray-sized problems, but not Cray-sized budgets. Its really fun to watch the wheels turn when they find out just how economically their Cray-sized appetites can often be satiated with clusters. Simply showing them a small, loud, and very hot room full of computers isn't terribly illuminating, but very complex pretty povray pictures generated very fast can show the power at a very intuitive level, even if it doesn't directly relate to their field of study. I recall what a profound moment it was when I first witnessed Doom being played on a piddly PC, even tho I didn't play computer games hardly at all. > > I guess that people would also be impressed with awareness of reliability. > after all, any sufficiently large compute cluster project > must in large part also be a project in high-availability. > I'm guessing that 30 whitebox PCs are getting close to the point of > "cpu-fan collapse", where the whole is just not useful to anyone because > it doesn't stay up long enough. I guess that counts as another argument > against the undergrad-povray-project thing. > For most uninitiated folks, in my experience, reliability doesn't sell well. White box quality is "good enough" for nearly everyone. What sells better is "If one craps out, I can just run down the Best Buy and get another". Thats were you get the knowing nods. If you have baby-sat a few hundred boxes, then you can appreciate reliability, but most people's experience doesn't scale that high. -Dean
