Jezika is a guest blogger from EU-Uldaman, here to give his tips for multi-tanking!
Multi-Tanking Primer
This is my first attempt in writing a "guide". As I am not fluent in English, this is probably not perfect, but well, let me know what you think about it!
The idea to write about multi-tanking came about from complaints overheard by guildmates when going in "pick up" groups.
For this article we will look at tanking 2+ mobs. Mob A, B, and C, where Mob A is the first to die, then B, C and so on.
Side note: If there are more than 2 mobs, warn your group to hold off on engaging for 3 seconds to allow you to build up aggro on the extra mobs.
Two Mobs
Two mobs are pretty easy. Pull mob B, and hit it with a Shield Slam, then switch to the primary target, Mob A. Sunder, Sunder, Shield Slam, and just continue with your normal threat rotation. Be sure to keep up Thunder Clap to be sure to keep mob B on you, as well as a Demoralizing Shout, and should be set. Add an additional Sunder or two on mob B at some point if the fight is taking longer than expected, or the healer has to drop a lot of heals on you.
Three Mobs
Three mobs begin introducing a bit more complexity and challenge. You also need to be sure you have the gear to handle tanking 3 mobs. On heroics this can be especially rough and a well geared healer can make all the difference.
An important part in taking down 3+ mobs is kill order. You should target special mobs first if you cannot CC them. Else, focus on casters first, as they typically have fewer hp and lower armor, and hence go down faster. Always keep "common mobs", or mobs with most HP for the end of the fight.
So on to the tanking! Tag Mob C on the initial pull to give you that extra aggro. If there is a mob to be CC'd, then have your CC let you get off a Thunder Clap in the group before the CC. At this point, you should have 3 targets on you. This should give you plenty of rage to do the following: Shield Slam Mob C, switch to Mob B and Concussion Blow, then switch to Mob A, and do regular your Threat cycle. Don't forget a Demoralizing Shout, as this will add threat on the whole pack of mobs.
During your cycle on Mob A, continue to keep up Thunder Clap, just be sure you are out of range of any CC'd mobs. Switch to Mob B and C for a sunder armor every now and then. Alternate hitting B and C between your normal rotation on A so as not to lose aggro on Mob A from DPS or healers. For example, four seconds before Shield Slam is up, Sunder Mob B, then go back to Mob A for a Shield Slam, then hit Mob C with a Sunder.
Here are some additional tricks. If you face mobs with weapons, you can add a Disarm on Mob B or C. If you are well ahead of your DPS or Healer on threat, you can toss a Shield Slam on mob B to ensure he'll stay focused on you. If in a non-heroic and you have a plate DPSer in your group, or a well geared enhancement shaman, you can let them focus Mob A from start (instead of waiting for 3 seconds) as he should survive until you are done with Mobs B and C. Once you switch to A, one Taunt will pop Mob A onto you and start you with significant aggro. Another tip is that if you have plenty of rage, you can use Cleave as well to help generate even more aggro on your primary mob as well as one other.
Be sure to keep Thunder Clap and Demoralizing Shout up at all times. Apply Disarm and Concussion Blow liberally to the secondary targets to reduce their damage, as well as maintain aggro. When Mob A dies, switch to Mob B, and Concussion Blow it if it is available. While it is stunned, switch to Mob C and Shield Slam to keep aggro, at which point switch back to Mob B, and do your job! If Concussion Blow is not up, switch to Mob C first and drop a Shield Slam on it before switching to Mob B.
You can use this same plan of attack for 4 mobs, etc. One thing with 4 mobs is that there will usually be some sort of caster in the group. You can actually have one of your melee DPS to offtank the caster and have the group focus fire it down quickly while you build aggro on the other mobs. Of course, if there are no casters, you should just plan on taking them all on!
While this may not be perfect, this works well for me and I hope maybe it has enlightened you a bit as well!

The days of "big ticket" discrete change programs, implemented one after the other, are long gone in the banking and insurance sector. Fitness for change is now simply a requirement to be in the financial services business—not something you pay attention to only when change comes along.
The workforce of the future will need to manage numerous change initiatives simultaneously, and for that businesses would be wise to guide their efforts and systematically build their capabilities through the use of rigorous change analytics. Otherwise, they risk making bad decisions based on flawed assumptions and mistaken conventional wisdoms about what really drives successful organizational change.
Fortunately, today's wealth of data and powerful analytics capabilities make it possible to employ new, quantitative approaches to managing organizational change. In so doing, they are helping to demystify the people side of organizational change.

Liquids and Complex Fluids Group
Our Scope
The Liquids and Complex Fluids Group aims to advance research into the liquid state of matter, complex fluids, and soft condensed matter by fostering collaborations between experimentalists, theorists and computer simulators working in these fields.
Its scope encompasses both structure and dynamics from microscopic to mesoscopic and macroscopic length scales in systems ranging from ʽsimple' liquids to all kinds of complex fluids and soft materials such as polymers, emulsions, gels, foams, colloids, liquid crystals, and their biological counterparts. As such, the group enjoys close links with the Polymer Physics Group and the Biological Physics Group.
Other topics covered include liquid mixtures and solvation phenomena, liquids and glasses under extreme conditions, confined liquids and fluids at interfaces, the glass transition and arrested states of matter (including the structure of glasses and amorphous solids), crystal growth in liquids, and self-assembly from solution.
Special Features
This highly interdisciplinary field has industrial links in the pharmaceutical, petroleum and plastics, food and personal care industries, among others. The physical realisation of many ideal model systems is of interest to physicists interested in statistical mechanics, liquids, elasticity, flow behaviour and rheology, and non-equilibrium phenomena.
Nevertheless, liquids and complex fluids are topics that are poorly covered in the traditional undergraduate curriculum so a distinctive aim of the group is postgraduate education, for example, via graduate schools aimed at the exposition of basic ideas that cut across the sub-disciplines of the field. Another aim is the development of new instrumentation for work on liquids and complex fluids at UK supported X-ray and neutron sources together with sophisticated data interpretation tools.
The Group therefore benefits from interactions with the Neutron Scattering Group where appropriate.
Collaboration with other liquid matter researchers is strengthened through links with the Faraday Division of the Royal Society of Chemistry (the interests of many physical and theoretical chemists encompass the topics covered by our group) and through co-operation with the Liquids Board of the European Physical Society.

Sour cherries are categorized into amarelle or morellor (a.k.a.: morello) varieties. The color of the juices in these cherries is the most noticeable difference. The amarelle has an almost clear juice, while the morellor has a dark colored juice. The most common sour varieties are the Montmorency and the English, which have a semi-sweet to tart taste. They are most often used for syrups, pies, marmalades, liqueurs (cherry brandy and Kirsch), and some pastries. They also go well with savory dishes made with turkey or pork.
The wild cherries are generally small in size and very dark red in color. They are usually quite tart, however the well-known maraschino cherry is one of the well-known wild cherries that has a semi-sweet taste, due in part to the added flavorings. All types of cherries are used in many dishes, especially desserts, jams, preserves, and liqueurs. Cherries are also a very popular flavoring in many processed food products.
When selecting, choose unblemished cherries that are firm and plump in appearance. The stem should still be attached to keep bacteria from invading the fruit. Cherries can be stored at room temperature if they are to ripen or be eaten fairly soon after purchasing. Cherries that are to be saved can be frozen by pitting them, placing them as single layers in an airtight bag, and storing in the freezer.

Lemonade With a Twist: 5 Fun Flavors You've Never Tried (Like Watermelon and Pineappleade)
You know what they say: When life gives you lemons, make lemonade. But what they don't say is that while a straight-up glass of old-school lemonade is one of summer's best drinks, sometimes, getting a little "twisted" is just what you need.
Robb Garceau, Executive Chef at Great Performances, an award-winning catering company in New York City, shares three of his "unusual" recipes with HealthySELF, below. But first, his tips for both cutting the calories and serving up extra-delicious lemonade this summer:
Use more herbs and less sugar -- they're more nuanced and bring out so many different notes of flavor in spirits and ripe citrus. Your drinks will actually taste more well-balanced.
Try honey or agave -- these natural sweeteners aren't granular like sugar, so you can make drinks faster this way.
Go seasonal -- infuse ripe fruit in your sugar base (if using one). Seasonal fruit has so much natural sugar that adding any other sweetener is many times unnecessary.
Lemonades are great for the young ones, but you can easily make a grown-up punch by adding rum, vodka or other spirits to any lemonade recipe.
Using larger ice cubes keeps the lemonade cold, but they melt slower than small cubes, thus avoiding natural dilution of your concoction.
Use garnishes when possible -- they add color and a fun visual element to a pitcher or glass, and also continue infusing natural flavors into the lemonade as you drink.
Cool, refreshing lemonade is definitely on everyone's brain as the weather gets warmer -- Yahoo! reports that searches for "how to make lemonade" are up 57 percent. SELF has a great low-sugar recipe here (secret ingredient: applesauce!) and a tasty spiked gingerade recipe (made with lemons and caramelized ginger -- yum!) that's only 70 calories. And here are three of Garceau's favorite "unusual" recipes:
Jicama Flower and Mint Limeade
Serves 4-6 4 cup water plus another 2 cups to add later
1/2 cup dried jicama flowers
1/2 cup agave nectar
1/2 cup fresh mint leaves
1 cup lime juice
Bring 4 cups of water to a boil and then remove from heat. Add the jicama flowers, agave nectar and 1/4 cup mint. Steep for one hour and strain. Pour into a pitcher and add the lime juice, remaining 2 cups water and remaining mint. Stir and serve over ice. For an alcoholic version, add 1 oz. vodka per person.
Lemon Verbena and Watermelon Lemonade
Serves 4-6
1/2 cup honey
1/2 cup sugar
1 cup water
1/4 cup fresh lemon verbena leaves (kaffir lime leaves or mint and lime zest combined work here, too)
1 small seedless watermelon, cut into chunks with rind removed
3 cups fresh lemon juice
In a small saucepan, bring the honey, sugar and water to a boil to dissolve the sugar. Remove from heat and add the lemon verbena leaves. Allow to completely cool, then strain.
Add the watermelon chunks to a blender, and puree until smooth, then strain. In a large pitcher, combine the honey/sugar syrup to taste (approximately 1/4-1/2 cup), watermelon juice and lemon juice. Stir to combine and serve over ice. Garnish with a lemon verbena leaf.
Frozen Pineappleade
Serves 4-6
7 oz. fresh coconut water (available at health food stores)
8 oz. fresh squeezed orange juice
1 cup diced pineapple
1/3 cup honey
1 oz. St. Germaine (elderflower liqueur)
3 oz. white rum
2 cups ice
1 orange, cut into wedges
Combine all ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth and frothy. Serve in a chilled glass immediately and garnish with an orange wedge.

99 losses. Confusing injuries and rehabilitation stories. Players traded, and players lost via free agency. 2011 was a really tough season for the Twins organization. However, there were a few positive moments during the season as well.
Blyleven to the Hall of Fame
- Early in January, the Baseball Hall of Fame announced that Bert Blyleven was finally to be enshrined in the Hall of Fame. The Twins had some special nights for him, and in August he was inducted.
20 Year Anniversary of the 1991 World Series
- Also in August, the Twins celebrated the 20th Anniversary of the greatest World Series of all-time, that 1991 thriller against the Atlanta Braves. Many of the Twins players from that roster were in attendance for the reunion. It's always great to see so many of those players coming back.
- On May 4 in Chicago, Francisco Liriano was wild, and yet he completed a no-hitter against the White Sox. The final out came on a line drive to Matt Tolbert off the bat of Adam Dunn. Liriano was pitching to stay in the rotation at the time, and despite all the walks, the no-hitter continued to show how good his stuff can be.
- On July 6, Jeff Manship made his first start for the Rochester Red Wings. Due to injury, it was his first appearance in seven weeks. Manship threw four no-hit innings. He was followed by Jake Stevens who threw three no-hit innings. Kyle Waldrop gave up no hits in the 8th innings, and Jim Hoey finished the job with no hits in the 9th inning.
- On July 16, Tim Shibuya, the Twins 23rd round pick a month earlier, started for the Elizabethton Twins. The right-hander threw seven no-hit innings. He was followed by 31st round pick, RHP Garrett Jewell, who threw a no-hit 8th inning. 7th round pick, lefty Steven Gruver, struck out two in a scoreless ninth inning to preserve the no-hitter.
- September 3, Alex Wimmers tossed a seven-inning no hitter for the Ft. Myers Miracle. His season started with a six batter faced, six walk outing. He was shut down for a couple of months and brought back slowly. But to end the season in such fashion was a nice way to end a rough season.
Major League Debuts
- April 1 – Tsuyoshi Nishioka went 1-4 on Opening Day against the Blue Jays.
- April 28 – Rene Tosoni went 2-4 with an RBI in his debut against the Rays.
- June 4 – Brian Dinkelman went 1-3 with a walk. In his first plate appearance, he was hit by a pitch. His walk was intentional. The Twins beat the Royals 7-2.
- July 18 – Scott Diamond was called up for a spot start in the second game of a double header against Cleveland. He gave up four runs (3 earned) on seven hits and two walks in 6.1 innings.
- September 5 – Kyle Waldrop gave up two runs on three hits and a walk in 1.2 innings against the White Sox. The first inning he pitched was scoreless.
- September 6 – Joe Benson led off for the Twins and went 0-3 after walking in his first plate appearance in a 3-0 loss to the White Sox.
- September 6 – Chris Parmelee batted fifth and went 2-4 in the same game.
- September 6 – Liam Hendriks made the start for the Twins in this game. He gave up three runs on four hits and three walks in seven innings.
The Killebrew Tribute
- Obviously one of the saddest moments during the 2011 season was the death of legendary Twins great Harmon Killebrew. However, listening and reading the stories of what a great man he was made us almost forget what a great baseball player he was. The Twins had a tribute for Killebrew on May 26. It was great to see so many former players there. Mudcat Grant was again amazing with his rendition of What a Wonderful World. However, the highlight had to be the speech of Nita Killebrew. Her poise and strength in that moment were amazing. Her words were inspirational. It was a great tribute to a great man.
Nathan Sets Twins Saves Mark
- On August 10, Joe Nathan set the Twins all-time saves record by recording his 255th save. He surpassed Rick Aguilera's mark of 254.
Thome Hits 600th Home Run
- On August 15, the Twins traded Delmon Young to the Tigers in the afternoon. That was fairly big news that day, but fortunately, there was much bigger news coming later that night. Through his first two at bats, Jim Thome was 1-2 with a single. In the 6th inning, he hit home run #599 against the Tigers in Detroit. For many, it takes awhile to hit that 600th home run. Thome's came just one inning later with two runners on against lefty Daniel Schlereth.
Draft Picks Sign
- Within the final hour before the deadline for teams to sign their draft picks, the Twins signed all three of their first round picks. Levi Michael was the 30th overall pick and signed for $1.175 million (about $86,000 over slot). Supplemental first-rounder, Hudson Boyd, the 55th overall pick, signed for a $1 million bonus (about $350,000 over slot). Travis Harrison, the 50th overall pick in the draft, signed for $1.05 million (about $350,000 over slot). The Twins signed several other players with big potential on that final day, including Minnesota's top high school player in 2011, LHP Austin Malinowski (the team's 16th round pick).
Award Winners
- Brian Dozier and Liam Hendriks were named the Twins minor league hitter and pitcher of the year, respectively.
- Eddie Rosario was named the player of the year in the Appalachian League after putting up monstrous numbers including 21 home runs, one better than teammate Miguel Sano. Teammate Tim Shibuya was the pitcher of the year in the Appalachian League.
Terry Ryan Reclaims the GM Role
- On November 7, the Twins announced the Bill Smith was being relieved of his duties as GM of the Twins and that former GM Terry Ryan would resume the duties in an interim role. The question is how long "interim" might be.
It was a tough year, and when trying to come up with positives from 2011, it was quite difficult to make it even this lengthy. I'm certain I missed some things. Were there any other positives from the 2011 Twins season that you can think of? Help me out here!!
TwinsCentric Notes
- John and Aaron Gleeman released their newest Gleeman and the Geek episode (Episode 21), so be sure to tune in to that.

Rodriguez tops Ramos in tough Precinct 1 race
Incumbent Bexar County Commissioner Sergio "Chico" Rodriguez cleared a major hurdle toward re-election Tuesday by defeating a feisty primary challenge from former San Antonio City Councilwoman Jennifer Ramos.
He is considered the heavy favorite to beat Republican Jose "Joe" Ortiz in November because his Precinct 1 is dominated by San Antonio's heavily Democratic South Side neighborhoods.
"The voters have given me another four years," Rodriguez said late Tuesday, adding that he would continue to support public works projects like the expansion of the River Walk on the South Side. "I'm very humble for what this community has done for me."
The race went from milquetoast to downright nasty in its final month, when Ramos' campaign sent out mailers attacking Rodriguez for staffing shortages at the Bexar County Jail.
She also accused him of committing voter fraud or tax fraud because his name is still on the homestead exemption for a house outside of the district, which is owned by his ex-wife, and for not keeping his charity in proper standing with the state.
Republican Bexar County Commissioner Kevin Wolff had no opponent in the GOP primary and was virtually assured re-election in November. No Democrat ran for the post.
Commissioners are paid $103,674 a year, vote on the county's roughly $1.37 billion budget and nominate appointees to various boards that oversee county government functions.
Meanwhile, Tax Assessor-Collector candidate Albert Uresti had about 50 percent of Democratic votes in a five-way race but it was unclear if he would be able to avoid a runoff. The GOP race between former San Antonio City Councilman John Clamp and Robert Stovall grew tighter late Tuesday, and Stovall won the race in the last box.
"I just started a grassroots campaign, went out and worked hard in the community, shook as many hands as I could, visited with as many people as I could, went to luncheons, went to Fiesta and just got my name out," Stovall said. Incumbent Tax Assessor-Collector Sylvia Romo opted to get into a race with longtime U.S. Rep. Lloyd Doggett's bid for the open congressional seat that runs between San Antonio and Austin.

Mapping the Heat Beneath main content.
by AMNH on
What causes earthquakes, and why are they so unpredictable? Seismic waves that pass through the planet hold the answer to these questions. Their patterns can reveal hidden dynamics—hotspots, deep-diving rock, melting mantle—in Earth's interior. An array of seismometers installed across the United States is now allowing geophysicists to plot revelatory views of the Earth engine deep beneath our feet.
Tonight, using data from seismometers, Earth scientists, astrophysicists, and sound artists, including Ben Holtzman of Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory and Jason Candler of New York University, will present the sights and sounds of seismic waves in an immersive experience, SeismoDome: Sight and Sound of Earthquakes and Global Activity in the Hayden Planetarium Space Theater. Through visualizations and sound, the audience can experience five earthquakes from the last decade as observed from space and deep inside Earth.
Look for this program and others at the Museum this fall on the Museum's calendar.

Each month, City Parks Alliance recognizes a "Frontline Park" to promote and highlight inspiring examples of urban park excellence, innovation, and stewardship across the country. The program also seeks to highlight examples of the challenges facing our cities' parks as a result of shrinking municipal budgets, land use pressures, and urban neighborhood decay.
This month's Frontline Park is actually a twofer. Listed in the National Register of Historic Places, Edwin and Percy Warner Parks, collectively known as "The Warner Parks," span 2684 acres just 9 miles from downtown Nashville. Over 500,000 people visit the Parks annually to utilize scenic roadways and overlooks, hiking and horse trails, cross country running courses, golf courses, athletic fields, and to attend the Iroquois Steeplechase. The park also boasts a very popular nature center that offers a wide range of environmental education programs, school field trips, educator training workshops, outdoor recreation programs and other special activities for people of all ages.
Over the past five years, the Friends of Warner Parks have purchased 448 acres of land (valued at approximately $20,000,000) to add to the Warner Parks. Not only did this increase the size and capacity of the parks, but the land also contains the largest tract of old growth forest in an urban area. Community support for obtaining the land was strong. The Metropolitan Government of Nashville and Davidson County contributed $1,600,000 to this effort, but the bulk of the funds have come from donations by Nashville residents. This outstanding preservation effort received the 2010 Governor's Environmental Stewardship Award for Excellence in Natural Heritage Conservation, and 225 acres of the new parkland has been designated a State Natural Area.
To learn more about Warner Parks, please visit the Nashville Metro Board of Parks & Recreation.
The "Frontline Parks" program is made possible with generous support from DuMor, Inc. and PlayCore.

Kenneth MacMillan's Mayerling – like many of this brilliant choreographer's greatest works – depicts a mind driven beyond despair. For this 1978 Royal Ballet commission MacMillan and his dramaturg Gillian Freeman turned to a historical event: the Mayerling Incident, a tragedy and scandal of the late 19th-century Austro-Hungarian imperial family that shocked a continent.
The events one night in Mayerling, a Viennese hunting lodge belonging to the Empire's Crown Prince Rudolf, have been variously romanticized, scrutinized and mythologized; but in its simplest form the story is of a group of people at once instruments and victims of the rot eating at the heart of imperial Europe.
Early on 30 January 1889 the bodies of the 30-year-old Crown Prince Rudolf and his 17-year-old mistress Baroness Mary Vetsera were discovered in his bed at Mayerling, with his gun beside them. Mary's uncles were urgently summoned; her corpse was dressed and her hair arranged over the bullet hole; propped upright by a broomstick, her body was escorted by carriage to a nearby graveyard and secretly interred. Rudolf's death was announced, first declared as a heart attack, then as an accident. At last his father, the Emperor Franz Joseph, officially acknowledged his son's suicide but not Mary's death, then opened an inquest only to close it abruptly and charge his Prime Minister with burying the investigation. For the rest of his life Franz Joseph maintained a rigorous silence, breaking it only to declare, 'The truth is far worse than all versions'.
That truth can never be fully known, but with the gradual release of letters and documents, and even some self-exonerating memoirs, a tapestry of facts begins to emerge. Rudolf's series of suicide notes suggest that some of the wildest conspiracy theories are wide of the mark. The notes themselves specify no further reason for the murder and suicide than that Rudolf's honour demanded it. Various rationales have been proposed: that Rudolf was heavily in debt, that he feared pressure from the Hungarian nationalists with whom he had become involved, that he feared the venereal disease that afflicted him, or the madness rife in his mother's family.
All no doubt played a part. But for much of his life Rudolf seems to have had an obsession with death, writing that 'the opportunity of watching someone die and hearing him breathe his last… is always a remarkable spectacle for me'. He seems to have needed a companion in death, and had begun his search months before the Incident. In December 1888 he asked his demi-monde mistress Mitzi Kaspar to commit suicide with him; she alerted the police chief, who apparently simply filed the report away. In the end it would be Rudolf's cousin and old flame Baroness Marie Larisch who played the gruesome role of procuress.
Marie fostered a relationship between Rudolf and the impressionable Mary Vetsera, who had been entrusted to Marie's care by her mother (herself allegedly another former mistress of Rudolf's). In her memoirs Marie claims she was trapped between the aggressive demands of the volatile Crown Prince and her duty to Mary's mother, who relied upon her daughter's success at court to boost the family's ailing finances. She further hints at a possible coup-d'état headed by Rudolf and a sinister conspiracy to suppress it. Whatever her reasons, letters from the time track a chilling story: Marie Larisch encouraging Rudolf in his suicide-wish, calming Mary's fears, even delivering the young woman to Mayerling on the night of her death.
Ultimately this was a time rife with corruption, endemic hypocrisy and grotesque decadence, from which no one player in the Mayerling drama comes through unsullied. It's difficult not to conclude that the whole era was at fault.
Nearly 90 years after the original incident, MacMillan and Freeman scoured letters, diaries, official reports both ostentatiously proclaimed and suppressed. What emerges is a series of portraits of uniquely compelling intensity. The result is MacMillan's masterpiece.
Mayerling runs 28 April–13 May 2017. Tickets are still available.
The production is staged with generous philanthropic support from Julia and Hans Rausing, the Paul Ferguson Memorial Fund, Richard and Delia Baker, John and Susan Burns, Marina Hobson OBE, The Gerald Ronson Family Foundation and Celia Blakey.

The new Langres Sud wind farm in the département of Haute-Marne will have a 52MW capacity when it is complete. The order is due to be delivered and commissioned by October.
It is the second deal Repower has secured from RES this year. In November Repower received its biggest ever onshore order for 954MW from RES Canada.
Speaking about the order, Repower CEO Per Hornung said: "France remains one of the most important wind markets in Europe. So far we have set up almost 400 turbines with a total capacity of some 750MW in various French regions and wish to expand our position here even further."
In December, Repower won an order for 34 of its 2 MW turbines from French developer and operator Erelia.
Delivery is planned for the end of the year to the 68MW Hauts-Pays project, one of the largest in France and under construction in the north-easterly Haute-Marne département.
The turbines will be supplied under a 2007 master supply agreement with Electrabel, also owned by GDF Suez.

Darwinism and popular culture: "Brain glitches, not evidence, cause people to think there is design in life!"
Here's a classic in advocacy posing as research: "Humans may be primed to believe in creation"
(Ewen Callaway, New Scientist, 02 March 2009):
And her point is what, exactly? That belief in purpose is irrational? Why so?
Religion might not be the only reason people buy into creationism and intelligent design, psychological experiments suggest.
No matter what their religious beliefs, college-educated adults frequently agree with purpose-seeking yet false explanations of natural phenomena - finches diversified in order to survive, for instance.
"The very fact of belief in purpose itself might lead you to favour intelligent design," says Deborah Kelemen, a psychologist at Boston University, who led the study
It is a shame that such studies are funded, but I would imagine that funding will increase, not decrease, as materialism takes a nose dive, and its tenured profs need to rescue it.
Find out why there is an intelligent design controversy:

Security Alerts
This page lists security problems found in Webmin and Usermin, versions affected and recommended solutions.
Found a new security bug? Report it at firstname.lastname@example.com.
- Webmin 1.900 - Remote Command Execution (Metasploit)
- This is NOT a workable exploit as it requires that the attacker already know the root password. Hence there is no fix for it in Webmin.
- Malicious HTTP headers in downloaded URLs
Affects Webmin versions up to 1.860, if the Upload and Download or File Manager module is used to fetch an untrusted URL.
- If a Webmin user downloads a file from a malicious URL, HTTP headers returned can be used exploit an XSS vulnerability. Thanks to independent security researcher, John Page aka hyp3rlinx, who reported this vulnerability to Beyond Security's SecuriTeam Secure Disclosure program.
- Authentic theme configuration page vulnerability
Affects Webmin versions up to 1.800, but is only an issue if your system has un-trusted users with Webmin access and is using the new Authentic theme.
- A non-root Webmin user could use the theme configuration page to execute commands as root.
- Authentic theme remote access vulnerability
Affects Webmin versions up to 1.800, but only if the Authentic theme is enabled globally.
- An attacker could execute commands remotely as root, as long as there was no firewall blocking access to Webmin's port 10000.
- XSS (cross-site scripting) vulnerability in xmlrpc.cgi
Affects Webmin versions up to 1.750.
- A malicious website could create links or Javascript referencing the xmlrpc.cgi script, triggered when a user logged into Webmin visits the attacking site. Thanks to Peter Allor from IBM for finding and reporting this issue (CVE-2015-1990).
- Read Mail module vulerable to malicious links
Affects Webmin versions up to 1.720.
- If un-trusted users have both SSH access and the ability to use Webmin's Read Mail module (as is the case for Virtualmin domain owners), a malicious link could be created to allow reading any file on the system - even those owned by root. Thanks to Patrick William from RACK911 labs for finding this bug.
- Shellshock vulnerability
Affects Webmin versions up to 1.700.
- If your bash shell is vulnerable to shellshock, it can be exploited by attackers who have a Webmin login to run arbitrary commands as root. Updating to version 1.710 (or updating bash) will fix this issue.
- Yet another XSS (cross-site scripting) security hole
Affects Webmin versions up to 1.590.
- A malicious website could create links or Javascript referencing the File Manager module that allowed execution of arbitrary commands via Webmin when the website is viewed by the victim. See CERT vulnerability note VU#788478 for more details. Thanks to Jared Allar from the American Information Security Group for reporting this problem.
- Referer checks don't include port
Affects Webmin versions up to 1.590.
- If an attacker has control over http://example.com/ , he could create a page with malicious Javascript that could take over a Webmin session at https://example.com:10000/ when http://example.com/ is viewed by the victim. Thanks to Marcin Teodorczyk for finding this issue.
- Another XSS (cross-site scripting) security hole
Affects Webmin versions up to 1.540.
- This vulnerability can be triggered if an attacker changes his Unix username via a tool like chfn, and a page listing usernames is then viewed by the root user in Webmin. Thanks to Javier Bassi for reporting this bug.
- Unsafe file writes in Virtualmin
Affects Virtualmin versions before 3.70.
- This bug allows a virtual server owner to read or write to arbitrary files on the system by creating malicious symbolic links and then having Virtualmin perform operations on those links. Upgrading to version 3.70 is strongly recommended if your system has un-trusted domain owners.
- XSS (cross-site scripting) security hole
Affects Webmin versions up to 1.390, and Usermin up to 1.320.
- This attack could open users who visit un-trusted websites while having Webmin open in the same browser up to having their session cookie captured, which could then allow an attacker to login to Webmin without a password. The quick fix is to go to the Webmin Configuration module, click on the Trusted Referers icon, set Referrer checking enabled? to Yes, and un-check the box Trust links from unknown referrers. Webmin 1.400 and Usermin 1.330 will make these settings the defaults.
- Windows-only command execution bug
Affects Webmin on Windows only, versions before 1.380.
- Any user logged into Webmin can execute any command using special URL
parameters. This could be used by less-privileged Webmin users to raise
their level of access.
Thanks for Keigo Yamazaki of Little eArth Corporation for finding this bug.
- pam_login.cgi XSS bug
Affects Webmin versions below 1.347, and Usermin versions below 1.277, on any operating system.
- A malicious link to Webmin's pam_login.cgi script can be used to execute Javascript within the Webmin server context, and perhaps steal session cookies.
- chooser.cgi XSS bug
Affects Webmin versions below 1.330, and Usermin versions below 1.260, on any operating system.
- Remote source code access and XSS bug
Affects Webmin versions below 1.296, and Usermin versions below 1.226, on any operating system.
- An attacker can view the source code of Webmin CGI and Perl programs using
a specially crafted URL. Because the source code for Webmin is freely
available, this issue should only be of concern to sites that have custom
modules for which they want the source to remain hidden.
Thanks for Keigo Yamazaki of Little eArth Corporation for finding this bug.
- Artbitrary remote file access
Affects Webmin versions below 1.290, and Usermin versions below 1.220, on any operating system.
- An attacker without a login to Webmin can read the contents of any
file on the server using a specially crafted URL. All users should upgrade
to version 1.290 as soon as possible, or setup IP access control in
Thanks to Kenny Chen for bringing this to my attention.
- Windows artbitrary file access
Affects Webmin versions below 1.280, when running on a Windows server.
- If running Webmin on Windows, an attacker can remotely view the contents
of any file on your system using a specially crafted URL. This does not
affect other operating systems, but if you use Webmin on Windows you should
upgrade to version 1.280 or later.
Thanks to Keigo Yamazaki of Little eArth Corporation for discovering this bug.
- Perl syslog input attack
Affects Webmin versions below 1.250 and Usermin versions below 1.180, with syslog logging enabled.
- When logging of failing login attempts via syslog is enabled, an attacker
can crash and possibly take over the Webmin webserver, due to un-checked
input being passed to Perl's syslog function. Upgrading to the latest
release of Webmin is recommended.
Thanks to Jack at Dyad Security for reporting this problem to me.
- 'Full PAM conversations' mode remote attack
Affects Webmin versions between 1.200 and 1.220 and Usermin version between 1.130 and 1.150, when the option Support full PAM conversations? is enabled on the Authentication page.
- When this option is enabled in Webmin or Usermin, an attacker can gain
remote access to Webmin without needing to supply a valid login or password.
Fortunately this option is not enabled by default and is rarely used
unless you have a PAM setup that requires more than just a username and
password, but upgrading is advised anyway.
Thanks to Keigo Yamazaki of Little eArth Corporation and JPCERT/CC for discovering and notifying me of this bug.
- Brute force password guessing attack
Affects Webmin versions below 1.175 and Usermin version below 1.104
- All versions of Webmin below 1.175 do not have password timeouts turned
on by default, so an attacker can try every possible password for the
root or admin user until he finds the correct one.
The solution is to enable password timeouts, so that repeated attempts to
login as the same user will become progressively slower. This can be done
by following these steps :
- Go to the Webmin Configuration module.
- Click on the Authentication icon.
- Select the Enable password timeouts button.
- Click the Save button at the bottom of the page.
- Usermin cross-site scripting vulnerability
Affects Usermin versions below 1.080
- When viewing HTML email, several potentially dangerous types of URLs can be passed through. This can be used to perform malicious actions like executing commands as the logged-in Usermin user. Can only be resolved by upgrading to Webmin 1.150 or Usermin 1.080.
- Module configurations are visible
Affects Webmin versions below 1.150
- Even if a Webmin user does not have access to a module, he can still view it's Module Config page by entering a URL that calls config.cgi with the module name as a parameter. This can only be resolved by upgrading to version 1.150 or later.
- Account lockout attack
Affects Webmin versions below 1.150 and Usermin versions below 1.080
- By sending a specially constructed password, an attacker can lock out other users if password timeouts are enabled. This can only be resolved by upgrading to Webmin 1.150 or Usermin 1.080.

Death Knight tanks are two-pronged, it's either you love them or hate them. Admit it, there are a couple of heroic dungeon PUGs where the DK tank kinda screws up the pull, can't maintain a decent aggro, or worse, confused whether they're really tanks or a 4th DPS. Players usually have a hard time choosing on which talent tree they should focus on when it comes to tanking. Unholy, Frost, and Blood specs have abilities that are extremely useful for tanks, but they couldn't learn it because they need to spend talent points before getting them.
Originally, Death Knights are Blizzard's experiment in concocting a hybrid class that can play 2 roles, whatever talent spec the player chooses. This experiment received mixed reviews as DKs tend to get envious of their Pally, Warrior, and even Druid counter parts' dedicated tanking tree.
But fear no more, you harbingers or pain for ranged DPS (hunters hate your Deathgrip). Blizzard learned its lesson and now gives the Death Knight tanks something to look forward to in Cataclysm. There will be Blood as DKs have the Blood talent tree as a dedicated tanking tree.
During the time of Wrath of the Lich King (today), Blood, Frost, and Unholy share tank-useful skills and bonuses. These are now being transferred, such as Unholy's Boneshield, to the Blood talent tree for maximum DK tanking experience. Having Blood as a pure tanking talent tree makes sense because it has several abilities that allow the Death Knight to absorb massive health from opponents while attacking. These life-draining attacks make the DK tank a hard nut to crack, especially in raids.
The Death Knight tank will also benefit from the Mastery Passive Talent Bonuses of the Blood talent tree:
Damage Reduction: Pretty self explanatory. No information yet though on how much damage reduction will a Blood DK receive.
Vengeance: A new mechanic designed to ensure that tank damage output doesn't fall far off behind as damage dealers improve their gear during Cataclysm. Whenever the tank gets hit, Vengeance will grant a stacking Attack Power buff equal to 5% of the damage done, up to a maximum of 10% of the toon's unbuffed health.
This ability definitely adds another dimension of damage dealing or damage recount. It'll certainly give the DPSers a run for their damage count to prove that they are needed. A little unfair, but hey, DPSers get more health now from gears, remember? I guess it's Blizzard's way of balancing things out.
Healing Absorption: Again, self explanatory, but further details have yet to be released.
Death Knight tanks will also be treated with some new abilities learned outside their talent trees:
Outbreak (level 81): Outbreak infects the target with both Frost Fever and Blood Plague at no rune cost. This ability allows death knights to apply diseases quickly when they are switching targets or when their diseases have been dispelled.
A skill that can definitely add more damage being dealt and threat generated by the DK tank.
Necrotic Strike (level 83): Necrotic Strike is a new attack that deals weapon damage and applies a debuff that absorbs an amount of healing based on the damage done.
In my opinion, the Death Knight tank's best ability out of the 3 new ones. This toughens up the DK even further as another damage done=health restored ability joins the fray.
Dark Simulacrum (level 85): The death knight strikes a target, applying a debuff that allows the death knight to copy the opponent's next spell cast and unleash it.
A similar skill to Spell Reflection but does not cancel the incoming spell. Even though it's not that great, it certainly is fun to play with during an encounter.
Stat changes in World of Warcraft: Cataclysm also affects the Death Knight tanks as certain stats are removed or modified to make things simpler. Parry and Block Rating and Stamina will be one of the tanks main concerns as the expansion hits the shelves.
The rune system will also be modified as it will change how runes will be regenerated and stored so that the Death Knight won't have to worry about wasting runes during battles.
Essentially, you have three sets of runes filling every 10 seconds instead of six individual runes filling every 10 seconds. (Haste will cause runes to fill faster.) Another way to think of this is having three runes that go up to 200% each (allowing extra "storage"), rather than six runes that go up to 100% each.
Our much loved (and also much hated) Death Knight tanks have a lot of store in them as Cataclysm presents the Blood as a dedicated tanking talent tree. Gone will be the days where DKs get confused if they're tanking of DPSing. It will be a glorious moment for these undead ex-agents of the Lich King.
Let's just hope these boys can keep up with the other tanks that are getting some polishing as well.

Europe's much-vaunted trading tax hit an early hurdle on Friday, when the introduction of a small-scale version in Italy saw trading volumes plummet. What's more, analysts warn that Italy's new tax will drive investors elsewhere and will fail to raise any revenue.
On Friday, Italy moved ahead of other European Union member states to introduce a levy on both exchange-based and over-the-counter share trading, as well as high frequency trading. Exchange-based trades will be taxed at 22 basis points, while over-the-counter trades will be taxed at 12 basis points. High frequency trades will be taxed at 2 basis points.
"The net effect of all of this … is increasing the cost of the trade. And that is going to result in, I believe, people ceasing to trade Italian securities," Tanuja Randery, CEO of trading platform MarketPrizm in London, told CNBC.

Boston riddled with mostly small natural gas leaks, Boston University study finds
3,300 found, perspectives differ on risk
Natural gas is escaping from more than 3,300 leaks in Boston's underground pipelines, according to a new Boston University study that underscores the explosion risk and environmental damage from aging infrastructure under city sidewalks and streets.
The vast majority of the leaks are tiny, although six locations had gas levels higher than the threshold at which explosions could occur. Although there have been no reports of explosions in Boston from any of the leaks, the study comes three years after a Gloucester house exploded probably because of a cracked and corroded gas main dating to 1911.
The research, being published Tuesday in the journal Environmental Pollution, confirms what Bostonians sometimes smell on city streets: a telltale whiff of gas.
"It is something that is distributed across all neighborhoods in Boston,'' said Nathan Phillips, associate professor in BU's Department of Earth and Environment and a lead author of the study. Phillips and an assistant drove a black hatchback over every one of Boston's 785 miles of roads to test methane, the primary ingredient in natural gas, in the air. "And we know once we go outside of Boston, Newton is just as leaky. . . . Any old, mature city is going to have this problem.''
Gas companies and the state Department of Public Utilities say the risk of an explosion from the leaks is exceedingly small. Serious leaks are repaired right away — as were the six that Phillips's research team discovered — and the remaining ones are not at levels high enough to cause an explosion.
"Do they pose a safety problem to the public? No, safety is our highest priority,'' said Ann G. Berwick, chairwoman of the state Department of Public Utilities. She said the agency has a financial incentive program to encourage gas companies to replace aging mains.
Leaks can develop in corroded pipes but are most often caused by contractors or homeowners using excavation equipment, according to the public utilities department. During cold weather, frost can penetrate deep into the ground and shift the earth around mains to cause hairline fractures. Other cracks can form at joints where service lines to homes or businesses join mains.
A spokesman for National Grid, the predominant gas distributor in Boston, said it does not make sense to repair all the minor leaks if they are not causing a safety problem. Rather the company is working to replace aging pipes with more flexible plastic pipe as quickly as possible, at a rate of about 150 miles a year in Massachusetts. "It's a better course of action,'' said David Graves, the spokesman, adding that National Grid investigates every report of a gas odor — actually the rotten egg smell of mercaptan, an odor added to odorless gas.
"We always respond and always make the situation safe,'' he said.
About 9 billion cubic feet of natural gas was unaccounted for in Massachusetts gas distribution system in 2010, which includes leaks, thefts, and purging of pipelines for maintenance, according to federal energy statistics. That represents about 5 percent of all greenhouse gas emissions each year in Massachusetts, Phillips said. Counting only leaks that utilities have documented, it would represent about $40 million worth of gas, according to an analysis by the Conservation Law Foundation, a Boston-based legal advocacy group. Many leaks are not known.
The problem is not one of safety alone. Leaking natural gas can damage vegetation and trees by displacing oxygen in the soil, scientists say. It is also a potent greenhouse gas that contributes to climate change: Methane is over 20 times more effective at trapping heat in the atmosphere than carbon dioxide, although it is not as long-lived.In fact, Phillips and co-author Robert B. Jackson of Duke University began their research in part with global warming in mind. Natural gas emits far less carbon dioxide than coal when it burns, and new reserves have driven down its price, greatly expanding its use in power plants, homes, and businesses. But Phillips and Jackson were curious whether leaks — and other emissions that occur during the extraction and transportation of natural gas — might mean the fuel is not as friendly to the climate.
"The question we are struggling with is how leaky is natural gas as a fuel source,'' said Jackson.
To test the air, Phillips and an assistant drove about 15 to 20 miles an hour down one side of a street with a device in the back that measured methane in the air higher than 2 parts per million — the amount normally in the air. Sometimes when they got a high reading, they would get out of the car and test the air — in some cases they traced it to a specific manhole cover. They knew it was gas from pipelines, rather than landfills or other sources, because of its chemical signature, which showed it was an old fossil fuel rather than newer methane created from decaying garbage, for example.
Phillips, who credits gas companies for working hard to fix gas leaks, said his work captures only a hazy picture of leaking gas in Boston; he drove down only one side of streets, and gas readings depended heavily on wind and other weather. The amount of methane in the air also does not directly reflect what is happening underground. For example, a large amount of gas could be trapped underneath a street and only a small amount makes it to the surface.
"There are a lot of unknowns,'' said Phillips. He and Jackson have put sensors on Boston buildings to understand the collective effect of gas leaks in the city — and how much escapes to the atmosphere.
Shanna Cleveland of the Conservation Law Foundation, which has a natural gas leak report coming out soon, said the state Department of Public Utilities could require timelines for gas companies to repair various grades of leaks and improve upon accelerated reimbursement rates for gas companies that replace old gas lines.
A bill sponsored by state Representative Lori Ehrlich of Marblehead that would require a timeline for the most serious leaks to be fixed and require utilities to notify police and fire of the locations of leaks unanimously passed the House in June and is before the Senate.
Ehrlich said better regulations are needed for gas pipelines. "If everyone could see methane, I doubt if there would be any leaks left,'' Ehrlich said. "Can you imagine if it came out red?''

the seating is beer hall convivial and the opposite of Tonda's sleekness. pizza toppings are non-traditional, except for the very good margherita, which is the only classic. we enjoyed everything we had, including The Good Girl with kale, taleggio and berkshire pork sausage, as well as Specken Wolf with speck (of course), mushrooms, onions and mozzarella. all well seasoned, good crust. i could have eaten more but it was an afternoon and others in the party were "not that hungry" (what's up with that?) there were some terrific looking calzones, a guanciale and egg pizza, another with sopressata, plenty of fantastic meats for toppings, as well as meat and cheese plates, house cured duck prosciutto and whipped lardo, bone marrow, cheeseburgers with benton's bacon... i could have had a lot of fun with all that but will have to go back. i happen to like the Franny's model - pizza plus a few salads and meaty apps - good stuff when you have good ingredients and know what to do with them.
small but pizza- and wallet-friendly selection of mostly Italian wines - the majority of bottles in the 20s and almost all available by the glass. or, rather, a mason jar. plenty of beer options as well. And they offered to bring tastes of both to the undecided, which i wouldn't have expected.
laid back, no frills decor but comfortable, no upselling a la Co. i'd love that place in my own neighborhood. cash only. nothing's more than $15, including pizzas, dinner specials, etc. tax included in prices. 261 Moore St.

on weekends, they open at 11 for brunch and stay open throughout the day. hours and stuff on the website
i just looked at the menu, wow, they totally expanded the non-pizza parts of the menu, adding porcelet coppa di testa and tongue, and they doubled the dinenr specials since were there. there is pasta with wagyu oxtail ragu, sweetbreads, hen of the woods mushrooms, half a chicken, double cut berkshire pork chop (Heritage Foods, i bet!) and a steak for two ($42 total) - most of it from the wood oven. aaahhh, i want to go, i want to go!

We ordered the Kalezone.. All the ingredients are a little fuzzy but, Kale, onion, and a few different cheeses were inside an amazing Calazone shell.. I asked for a side of tomato sauce and the waitress paused and left.. She came back with a freezing ramakin of sauce.. Apparently, I was the first to have made this request..
We also had a plate of orichiette with oxtail ragu.. Dish was very solid.. Perfectly tender pasta with a rich oxtail and tomato sauce.. Lots of percorino cheese melted on top.. Enough for two of us to happily share.
Miss A then was on a mission to try some pizza.. We ordered the brussel sprout pie.. We were very happy with the pie..
For dessert we ordered a 4 dollar cookie plate.. Very happy with our decisions.. Rosemary butter cookie, a couple of biscotti, a peanut butter cookie, and a I think a chocolate chip or oatmeal raisin..
A few glasses of langhe a couple of beers, dinner was exactly 100 with tip..
I love the space, service was not very attentive (i kept grabbing busboys) the coffee was freezing cold, but all in all, I loved the food and space..

The room was rather noisy, so you actually kind of have to shout to hear the person across the table. Nonetheless, we had a really pleasant conversation about Tiger Woods with a cute Brazilian couple on my right. I only wish I could mute the snow bunny on my left that was expounding the virtues of Rachel Ray.
The highlight of the evening came when the BF asked the server what kind of beer Oskar Blues Gordon is. "It's a 8.7% alcohol beer," she replied. "Yes, but what style?" the BF shouted from where he was sitting. "I don't know. It's...wellll...a beer."
Overall the pizzas are good. But, are they better than Motorino around the corner from my apt? or Keste? No. If you happen to be in the hood? Hell, yeah!

I understand that the fried chicken is made by the former owner/chicken maker at Pies and Thighs (which was great fried chicken) and that she's not at Roberta's regularly enough to ensure that you'll get any at either meal. I havent been so this is by word of mouth only.

Why don't they just serve the beer in dribble glasses and be done with it. This would drive me nuts.
And I'm with you on pizza in general. It's too simple to constitute a transformative dining experience. The New Pizza Orthodoxy leaves me cold - the one that says that pizza is really all about the bread and we're going to give you a 3 inch ring of crust before we get to the stingy topping just to prove it to you. Behold the glory of our bread!
I'm not buying it - it's as unbalanced as those cheese bombs served by Ray's down on 6th Ave.

What is an Apprenticeship?
Apprenticeships meet the needs of both young people and businesses. They offer quality work-based training, as an alternative to full-time study. Apprentices should be employed and are usually aged between 16 and 18 years old, although the college has a small number of spaces for those aged between 19 and 24.
Apprenticeships provide motivated young people with the opportunity to gain the skills and nationally recognised qualifications sought by employers throughout the industry.
Specific Information
Apprenticeships in IT are designed to develop skills for roles such as Support Technician, Website Administrator, Helpdesk Professional, Desktop Support Engineer or Database Administrator.
Entry Requirements
Apprentices must have a Contract of Employment for a minimum of 30 hours per week and successfully complete a probationary period at work. In addition they must complete initial assessments in English, Maths and Information Technology. The initial assessments and interviews will be carried out at the college.
12-18 month
Start Point
Rolling programme
Intermediate or Advanced
Apprenticeships include the following elements:
- A competencies qualification (NVQ or Diploma); a flexible qualification that is delivered in the workplace.
- A technical qualification. This demonstrates that the apprentice has developed their skills and gained an understanding of the theoretical ideas surrounding IT.
- A module on employee rights and responsibilities.
- A module on personal learning and thinking skills.
- Apprentices must complete Functional Skills (Maths, English and IT). Those who have already achieved the appropriate grades will be exempt.
Once the above elements are completed you will receive an Apprenticeship Framework Certificate.

Two years before the Korean peninsula erupted in a civil war that saw the North and the South (and the U.S., the United Nations, the Soviet Union and China) engage in a conflict that shaped the post-World War II world, a short, brutal rebellion in the young Korean republic paved the way for the cataclysmic Korean War to come. The Yeosu-Suncheon Rebellion, as it came to be called, took place in October 1948, when communist rebels — many of whom had been in the American-trained Korean Army — revolted against the (authoritarian) government of President Syngman Rhee.
As tensions on the peninsula again reach a boiling point and as the rhetoric from both sides — especially from the North's young, largely untested leader, Kim Jong Un — grows more belligerent and more bizarre, the Yeosu-Suncheon Rebellion might seem like little more than a historical anomaly: a minor, forgettable blip in Asia's long, fraught history.
But in cultures that measure their histories in terms of millennia, rather than decades or even centuries, a revolt and its repression is not merely remembered seven decades later; instead, it helps inform every utterance, every threat, every gesture emanating from South Korea and North Korea today.
Here, in an effort to perhaps add some needed context to the current situation on either side of the 38th parallel, LIFE.com presents a series of photos by the great Carl Mydans, who was on the ground when the rebellion began, and bore witness to the carnage that followed. Most of these pictures never ran in LIFE magazine. (We should also note that the Yeosu-Suncheon Rebellion came on the heels of the South Korean army's notoriously violent suppression of an uprising on the island of Jeju, off the southern coast of Korea, in April 1948.)
[See all of TIME.com's Korea coverage.]
In November 1948, in an article titled, "A New Communist Uprising Turns Men Into Butchers," LIFE painted an unsettling picture of the rebellion, complete with the observation that the United States "gave South Korea a government" after the Second World War — suggesting, unintentionally perhaps, that the Korean peninsula was once again little more than a convenient crossroads upon which more powerful nations have always fought their proxy wars.
Sooner or later the cold war in Korea was sure to turn hot, and so it did in late October on a signal from the Soviets. The reasons were well known: Korea had been split between U.S. and Soviet control at Yalta, and the Soviets obstructed all later efforts to unite it, preferring to establish a Communist "people's republic" in North Korea and equip it for civil war which would make all Korea Red. The urgency increased in August when the U.S. gave South Korea a government under President Syngman Rhee. When the Red rebellion came, it splattered blood across the new southern nation.
It began on the cool night of Oct. 19 while the Moscow radio trumpeted the news that Soviet troops were leaving Korea. Simultaneously a Red cell of 40 soldiers in a regiment of the American-trained Korean national army at the southern port of Yosu [today spelled "Yeosu"] killed the regimental officers, gathered the entire regiment in revolt, murdered the local police and quickly captured both Yosu and the city of Sunchon 25 miles to the north. There the rebels, still in American Army uniforms, and followers raised the flag of the North Korean People's Republic, and for a few bloody days ruled a small chunk of Rhee's south. Before they melted into the hills, at least temporarily repulsed by loyal troops, LIFE's Carl Mydans was on the scene with a camera to record the brutal consequences.
At Sunchon [today spelled "Suncheon"], which means "Peaceful Heaven," the rebellion's Red leaders opened the city jail and let political prisoners lead them through the city from house to house pointing out enemies for revenge. With this help the rebels had slaughtered about 500 civilians and 100 police before the Korean national army retook Sunchon (pop. 60,000) on Oct. 23. Then it was the government's turn, and LIFE' Carl Mydans watched with horror as the process of retribution began. [This is what he] cabled:
"Now the national army, aided by a few police who had fled to the hills and come back, repaid brutality with brutality. We watched from the sidelines of a huge playground with the women and children of Sunchon while all of their men and boys were screened for loyalty. Four young men stripped to their shorts were on their knees begging. One had his hands up in a symbol of prayer. Suddenly these suppliant hands were crushed into his mouth and nose as a rifle but smashed his teeth. Behind them stood men with clubs . . . who beat the kneeling group until the beaters, grinning, had to pause for breath. . . .
"We drove through the city — empty except for bodies — and here we saw the reason for the brutal retaliation. Bodies lay just as they had been slain by the rebels — in heaps with hands tied behind their backs. . . . Some were burned in charred masses on the streets, or lay alone where they had fallen beside looted shops and homes.
"Later, when it was safe, women streamed away from the big playground to poke among the heaps of bloated dead — a scene not easy to watch. When they found theirs, they were stoical at first. Then tears came and they were hysterical."
In type-written notes sent to LIFE's editors on October 24, 1948, Mydans was even more plainspoken about the terrors he and three other correspondents (see the photo above) witnessed during the rebellion and its suppression. "Covering this war is difficult and frightening," he wrote. "Both factions in the fight wear the same uniform, ride in the same American vehicles and are armed with the same weapons. . . . Tonight as I write this in the hillside home of [Presbyterian missionary] Dr. Crane the reports of rifles and automatic weapons still sound nearby and to we four correspondents it carries the full feeling of war."
"We entered Sunchon 1 PM on the 24th," he continued. "The city stank of death and was ill with the marks of horror."
Almost plaintively — but with never a hint of self-pity or complaint — Mydans also noted that "it is now midnight and we haven't been to bed for two days. . . . We [he and the three other newsmen] are all the outside observers there are of this point in Korean history."

Hybrid Striper Anglers Should Head for Millers Creek
ATHENS—If you like the thrill of a double-digit hybrid striper on the end of your line, you need to head for the Big Country—specifically, for Millers Creek Reservoir southwest of Seymour.
The Texas Parks and Wildlife Department (TPWD) Inland Fisheries district office in Wichita Falls recently completed a gill-net survey at Millers Creek and found an abundant population of hybrid striped bass. "Over half the hybrids sampled were above the minimum length limit of 18 inches, and we collected fish up to 14 pounds," said TPWD biologist Robert Mauk.
The presence of so many big hybrids is somewhat of a puzzle, Mauk said. "Creel survey results show little fishing pressure for this species, and harvest is almost non-existent," he said. "Many reservoirs have guides that specialize in targeting this species, so it's hard to understand why hybrids are under-utilized in this reservoir. The current lake record is 16.01 pounds, so the lake has excellent trophy potential."
Mauk added that the hybrids sampled in gill nets ranged from 15 to 27 inches in length, with many of the larger ones being taken from creek channels associated with flats, especially the second cove from the dam on the southeast side of the lake.
"Hybrids are noted for their strong fight once hooked," Mauk said. "They will readily accept artificial lures or live bait."
Millers Creek is about a three-hour drive from the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex. "The reservoir elevation is quite low currently, and launching boats from the ramp may require wading," Mauk said.
Millers Creek also offers good white bass fishing, especially in the cove near the dam. Fish up to 16 inches were sampled. Anglers report catching lots of blue catfish from the shore, although the larger fish are found in the middle of the lake. Channel catfish are present but not abundant in catchable sizes.
For more information about the Millers Creek fishery, please call the TPWD Inland Fisheries office at (940) 766-2383 or e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com.

Austrian Thomas Feyrsinger produced a stunning finish to card a five under par 67 for the second day running to lead the Karnten Golf Open by Markus Brier Foundation at the halfway stage.
Feyrsinger picked up four shots in the last three holes and has a one shot advantage over compatriot Markus Brier, the creator of the tournament, and Dutchman Floris De Vries, who carded rounds of 68 and 67 respectively at Klagenfurt-Seltenheim Golf Club.
Overnight leader Martin Wiegele, who gave the home crowds even more reason to cheer yesterday when he shot a stunning ten under par 62, struggled to match his first round form and laboured to a four over par 76 to slip back to six under overall.
Feyrsinger was delighted to see some hard work over the last few months starting to pay off.
"I've had a hard, hard time this last year and have been working so hard on my game," he said. "I've made many changes over the winter to the physical and mental aspects and kept telling myself that being patient would pay off.
"Today I felt great and it was a good finish which has put me in this position. I finished eagle, birdie, birdie so it was nice to end on that. The three bogeys came as a result of missing the green and failing to get up and down.
"Earlier in the round I was getting a little tense and I three-putted the 12th – the third from about two feet. I just told myself to relax and it worked."
Brier had earlier set the clubhouse lead but was not completely satisfied with how he played.
"It was a bit different today as I was driving the ball really well but was not so good with my irons," he said. "It was almost the opposite of yesterday. I only missed one fairway, but the irons were a little shaky and I didn't give myself too many good birdie chances.
"I holed long putts for birdie at the third and the 11th and I chipped in for birdie at the 12th. I had a couple of close ones but I wasn't as accurate as I was in the first round."
De Vries won the Mugello Tuscany Open a fortnight ago and is confident he can pick up his second Challenge Tour victory here.
"I'm playing really well and I think I can win it, yes," he said. "I'm really relaxed and today I was playing like it was a practice round. It felt great.
"The only bad thing that happened was my three wood broke when I hit a shot. I heard this loud noise and I looked up and the club head flew off and the ball went only about 40 yards. It cost me a shot and I'll have to find a new three wood but it's not too serious."
Wiegele admitted it was hard to follow such a sublime score and having a three shot at the start of the second round put him under pressure.
"It was the first time I'd ever shot 62 and the first time I've led a tournament after the first round," he said. "I tried not to think about it but it's not easy. It was in my head a bit.
"All of a sudden I was six over but I managed to play the rest of the round in two under so at least there's a positive to take from it and I'm still in a good position. I just wasn't as accurate and on this course if you go in the rough or the water it's at least one shot dropped."
