'Black Flag Of Jihad Will Fly Over London' - British Jihadists Fighting In Syria Swear
21:20 | Posted by LX24B001 | Edit Post
From rt
Terror alerts, 9/11-style bombings and murders of British citizens will soon come to London's streets, according to chilling threats from UK citizens fighting alongside Islam's most violent terrorist group operating in Syria and Iraq.The threat comes from British nationals fighting for the Sunni militant group calling themselves the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL/ISIS) in Syria. According to the Sunday Times, they promise that after they're done there, Britain is next. The message comes from three such fighters, all youngsters in their teens and twenties.According to the Times, these aren't regular disenchanted youths at all: one is a 20-year-old hacker from Birmingham, who once stole Tony Blair's details and posted them online, later serving time for an unrelated violence charge.The "black flag of jihad" will fly over Downing Street, Junaid Hussain warned on June 4, spelling out the horrors to come. He's been fighting in Syria for over a year now.Another, 19-year-old Muhammad Hassan, from Portsmouth, was a student at a prestigious school. He warned on Twitter that if the US doesn't cease threats over drone strikes on ISIS positions, 9/11-style attacks on America would follow.The third, also from Portsmouth, promised a "killing spree" of British citizens if he were ever to return to Britain."Imagine if someone were to detonate a bomb at voting stations or ambushed the vans that carry the casted [sic] votes. It would mess the whole system up," came another tweet from Junaid Hussain, before he re-tweeted a warning from a like-minded countryman for British people to "watch out," because "we'll come back to the UK and wreak havoc."Among his other offenses, Hussain has also been seen posting bomb-making advice on the internet, as well as tips on how to smuggle explosive devices through airport security.Getting to Syria from Britain isn't as difficult as some would think: the youths simply travel to Turkey, then crossed the border. One of them was caught by CCTV cameras at the time, traveling on a holiday flight from London Gatwick airport to Turkey's Antalya. Hassan's group (not including the aforementioned tweeters) had three other people, all in their mid-twenties. After reaching Turkey, they headed over to Syria by car.This is nowhere near the first time the public has seen British nationals fighting alongside Middle-Eastern extremists. There have been numerous threats, government monitoring of scores of returnees and reports that British Sunni jihadists use Syria as a training ground before taking the battle to home soil.What's more striking is how news of their particular cruelty is widespread in Syria itself: Britons comprise an overwhelming majority of foreigners inside ISIS, an organization who are labeled 'terrorists' for their bloody campaign of ruthless executions and body mutilations even by other elements of the Syrian opposition.One Free Syrian Army General spoke in horror of what some 400 British extremists fighting there were capable of doing. He pointed out that ISIS's already dark record did not originate from actions by local fighters alone.Further illustrating the scale of foreign involvement in ISIS operations, Mike Rogers, the US chairman of the Intelligence Committee, speaking to Fox News alleged that there are "thousands" of American and European volunteers and mercenaries fighting for ISIS, which "has the capability to tap people with Western passports to send them back to Europe and the United States for terrorist activity.""This is as dangerous as it gets," said the Republican politician, who urged Barack Obama to use his influence with Sunni Arab states, such as Saudi Arabia and Egypt, to rein in ISIS – which is likely partly funded by powerful sympathizers within those countries.The current threats take place amid a fearsome escalation of violence in Iraq, which has been spiraling out of control the closer ISIS got to Baghdad. Army desertions abound as militants storm through the country, capturing hundreds of millions of dollars in American weapons and equipment and parading them in videos.The rebels are currently storming through the major cities of Mosul and Tikrit, continuing to post videos of beheadings on their way to the capital.Britain has been taking steps to curb the spread of extremism on its soil. Over the weekend, Twitter blocked all ISIS-related accounts and the accounts of its supporters at home in the UK. This is a sensible move, given most of the communication between worldwide supporters of the jihadist cause is done on social networks, where the above British-born terrorists all use new Islamic names.Prime Minister David Cameron is also ringing alarm bells, asserting that Britain has become too tolerant for its own good, bringing about a rise in extremism. The PM has called on several occasions for the protection and promotion of "British values" as a counterweight to the perceived malignant Islamization of Britain. He now believes the government has been too soft in a number of ways, according to a recent public address."It isn't enough simply to respect these values in schools. They're not options, they're the core of what it is to live in Britain," Cameron told the public."In recent years we have been in danger of sending out a worrying message: that if you don't want to believe in democracy, that's fine; that if equality isn't your bag, don't worry about it; that if you're completely intolerant of others, we will still tolerate you," the PM asserted."That's not just led to division; it has also allowed extremism – of both the violent and non-violent kind - to flourish. We need to be far more muscular in promoting British values and the institutions that uphold them," he said, shortly after a major scare involving an alleged Trojan Horse plot to Islamicize certain British schools, which prompted an investigation and much bickering within the government.

Paris/France: New Incident In Front Of A Synagogue
14:50 | Posted by LX24B001 | Edit Post
From leparisien
The members of the CRS (Compagnie Républicaine de Sécurité - riot police squad) assigned to the task of protecting a synagogue in Julien-Lacroix Street of district XX in Paris were the subjects of threats made by five unknown individuals carrying a Kalashnikov and a handgun yesterday, the 14th of June, at about seven p.m.After having pointed the guns at the agents, the aggressors did as if they were shooting at them before fleeing on two scooters. No (real) shots were fired.The agents having been the victims of this act of intimidation told about the incident in the headquarters of the second district judicial police in charge of the investigations. "We strongly condemn this kind of intimidation in front of a place of Jewish faith", Christophe Crépin, from the UNSA police union, declared. "We bow our heads in front of the high self-control and the professional behavior of the CRS agents in the face of a situation which could have easily escalated".In the evening it was made known at the headquarters of the Paris Police that a 21-years-old man was questioned a few minutes after the incident, without knowing whether he was a member of the group of aggressors. He was put under custody. Many other youngsters were seen on several occasions during the evening in the neighborhood.(…)

Melilla/Spain: Some 1000 Invaders Tried Unsuccessfully To Cross The Border
21:02 | Posted by LX24B001 | Edit Post
From dw
Security forces drove back the migrants, who tried to storm a three-tier barbed wire border fence that separates Morocco from Melilla, a Spanish territory.
It is the latest in a string of desperate attempts to breach the fence. Hundreds have scrambled across in recent months, but the border was recently fortified with mesh fences and Spanish security forces have increased patrols.
Melilla is one of two Spanish-held cities on the northern coast of Africa, the other being Ceuta to the east. The number of migrants attempting to cross has risen in recent months, many attempting in groups to try and overwhelm border guards.
"Anti-climbing mesh and the collaboration of the Moroccan forces with the (Spanish) civil guard managed to stop an attempt to cross by about a thousand migrants," the Spanish government delegation in Melilla said.
"None of the immigrants managed to reach the city," it added.
According to estimates by the Interior Ministry in Madrid, about 40,000 Africans of sub-Saharan origin are waiting for an opportunity to go to Spain. The immigrant reception center in Melilla is understood to be highly overcrowded.
Crisis situation
There has also been a recent increase in the number of boats trying to reach Europe from North Africa, often originating in Libya, where criminal gangs organizing boat trips have flourished amid the breakdown of law and order in the country.
Most of the migrants come from Eritrea or Syria, with others fleeing impoverished parts of sub-Saharan Africa.
Italian officials said in early June that almost 47,000 people had arrived from North Africa by sea since the beginning of this year, a tenfold increase over the same period in 2013.
Thousands of migrants have died at sea in recent years trying to reach Europe, as they often make the attempt in badly overcrowded and unseaworthy vessels.
Italy and Spain have asked for more help from the EU in securing their borders and dealing with the crisis.

Italy: Immigration Out Of Control - State Of Emergency Declared In Some Sicilian Towns
22:17 | Posted by LX24B001 | Edit Post
From euronews
Illegal immigration, a burden which is turning increasingly heavy for Italy. The accommodation of an ever increasing number of immigrants who remain in the place for ever increasing periods of time is making tensions with the locals arise, as for example in Porto Palo di Capo Passero, in the South West of Sicily. But this also cripples municipalities financially. The situation is such that Sicily had to declare the state of emergency for the towns concerned.In the senate, the opposition has presented motions to put an end to the "Mare Nostrum", the plan designed to rescue immigrants, but the government did not agree with that. While speaking about "pride", the vicepresident estimated that 40.000 illegal immigrants had already been saved. Instead, what the Italian Government wants is to get the EU more involved in the "Mare Nostrum".This operation, which puts in action a huge number of military and civil resources on the Mediterranean sea, was launched last October following the deadly sinking of two boats off the coast of Lampedusa. It is a very expensive humanitarian effort which costs many hundreds of thousands of euros a day. The immigration policy of the EU will be an important issue for the Italian presidency of the Union starting next July.
Germany: Some 100 Syrian Fighters Have Already Returned
21:23 | Posted by LX24B001 | Edit Post
From JF
According to estimations made last Tuesday by Hans-Georg Maaßen, the president of the Office for the Protection of the Constitution, some 100 Syrian fighters have already returned to Germany, and approximately a dozen among them must have concrete experience in war. According to the newspaper Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, more than 200 fighters with German nationality are still present in the civil war area. Some 25 fighters are probably dead.Hans-Georg Maaßen warned about the terrorist danger posed by those veterans. He pointed to the attack in Brussels, during which four people were shot dead at a Jewish museum. The presumed perpetrator was the French national Mehdi Nemmouche. The 29-years-old man had allegedly taken part in the Syrian civil war for over a year. This would be the first attack of an individual having returned from Syria to Europe.Although the Office has no evidences of a "concrete terrorist mission" in Germany, "a considerable danger" is still posed by the militant returners, Maaßen warned. "The timely recognition of the returners and the application of proper measures make the security forces face a great challenge", he admitted. It is precisely to Germany that it is quite simple to travel through the Turkish border to Syria.A working team shall now find out how to deal with this challenge in the states belonging to the G7 group. There are talks about measures to make more difficult for suspected individuals to travel to Syria, or to be able to identify them more easily as Syrian fighters. The flow of information shall be strengthened so that individual estates can better inform each other about potentially dangerous returners.

Basel/Switzerland: Clash Of Cultures In The Public Baths
21:16 | Posted by LX24B001 | Edit Post
From bazonline
"Watch out, man in the place!" This is what one hears in the Hallenbad public bath in Zürich whenever a caretaker enters the women's dressing cabins or showers. Some of those present continue taking their shower unperturbed, and others quickly grasp a towel and cover their nakedness, all according to one's level of shame. There are no problems or conflicts.But in the Frauenbad (women's bath) public bath in Eglisee - Basel, the situation is different. Here it is not about the zone of the dressing cabins, but about the public bath itself. As last Sunday the caretaker went to the women's sector, a number of bath visitors confronted him. An entire group of Turkish women demanded him to go away – an eyewitness reported to the newspaper 20 Minuten. The caretaker calmly but firmly stated that he was just doing his work. This was a reason strong enough for the group to go to the cashier and demand back the price for the entrance tickets. "The women were rude and insulted the staff", Eric Hardman, a member of the Basel City Sport Office declared after the incident. A Turkish man who arrived to the place also insulted the caretaker with rude expressions. The situation was then so bad that the man had to be carried away by the security personnel. The five Turkish women too left the public bath.It is not the first occasion that problems arise in this place. Male caretakers are always a thorn in the side of Muslim women. But in the past, conflicts arose regularly even among women themselves. Strongly religious Muslim women and natives from Basel had conflicts: the former were sitting covered in the public bath, the latter were taking sunbath uncovered. This so-called "clash of cultures" was taken under control through mediation, but the problem was not solved.(...)The caretaker in question did not want to talk to BaZ yesterday. "We would like to protect our staff. The situation has turned already difficult enough", Howald added. But one does not want to bend to the demands of the Muslim women. "We just could not do that", Howald said. There are not enough female staff members to be able to run the place only with women. But this is not the only reason: "we do not let ourselves be extorted", the manager said resolutely. "It just can't go that far as to have to close down the place someday because of individual groups".The thought of turning the bath into a mixed one for both genders, at least during the weekends, keeps coming up. "In this way, the Muslim women in question would not come here again". But he wants to avoid this at all costs. "We would not like to take away the possibility to use this place of retreat from tolerant women who appreciate the public bath.But something must change, and Howald is convinced about this. There are already women who do not come to the baths in nice weekends anymore, because "hell breaks loose" every time. The managing board is worried about the staff, too. "We try to support them in order to avoid that one day one of them breaks down". This situation is very burdening for the staff.Immediate measures are expected to bring an initial improvement (of the situation). Indications in German and French can be read on placards at the entrance that male staff must also carry out their duties in the bath. After the incident on Sunday, these indications have been made more conspicuous. "The cashiers have also been instructed to inform Muslim women about these rules so that they can decide whether they want to take a bath under our rules or not".(...)

Manchester/UK: Brave British Guy Who Repelled Muslim Harassment Has Died

A reveller who was attacked at the Parklife Weekender festival has died.Read more here
Robert Hart, 26, was punched after trying to protect his girlfriend from being repeatedly whacked with an inflatable toy.
He was knocked unconscious moments after stepping in to help his partner, just before Snoop Dogg was due on the main stage on Saturday night.
Police have confirmed that a 26-year-old from Macclesfield has now passed away in hospital.
After the attack, the M.E.N reported how off-duty paramedics who were in the audience gave the victim heart-massage at the scene before stewards moved him to a 20-bed medical facility on site.
Police were called and spoke to him when he regained consciousness.
But he deteriorated and was rushed to North Manchester General Hospital, and was later moved to Salford Royal hospital where he'd been critically ill since.

Young Jihadists Being Trained In Syria To Spread Terror In Europe
21:52 | Posted by LX24B001 | Edit Post
From 7sur7
The head of the French Antiterrorist Coordination Unit considers that the terrorist menace in Europe is real. According to him, Al-Qaeda may be training young jihadists in Syria for this purpose."Al-Qaeda selects youngsters who are then trained with the only goal to carry out terrorist attacks in Europe. For this purpose, they are recruiting youngsters who are linguistically compatible with the countries selected as target and who are psychologically the most suitable to mix into an occidental population", Loïc Garnier told RTL France.According to the person in charge of the coordination unit, (the possibility of) a terrorist attack against France cannot be excluded. "France is among the targets for Al-Qaeda due to its laicism, its rejection of extreme behaviors and its engagement in Afghanistan, Mali and Central Africa", he explained, making clear, however, that "one cannot talk about the imminence of a terrorist attack, but that the threat is real".According to Loïc Garnier, even if not all youngsters having departed to Syria in order to fight do return with the goal of committing terrorist attacks, they will still be a risk factor for the population. "They have a level of tolerance in the face of violence which is not the same as that of the western societies", he laments. "For them, to kill or to see (others) kill will have turned something quite banal".

While the pigmentation of gum tissue can vary in a healthy mouth, some may prefer to reduce the pigmentation. Dr. Denine Rice can easily provide depigmentation using a laser. Here are the results after one session and two weeks post procedure.
I wish I hadn't taken so long to seek help from Dr. Rice.
My experience with dentists has improved dramatically over the past few years but before that it was a draconian event. Crude, embarrassing, rough treatment was the norm for me.
Several years ago a very dear friend encouraged me to deal with long term damage to my teeth. Damage that is partially due to neglect and partially due to traumatic injury.
I didn't take my friend's advice and waited until things got much worse before I reluctantly made another dreaded visit to a dental specialist, Dr Rice.
Had I any idea how wonderful, caring, gentle and loving Dr. Rice turned out to be I would have gotten the help I needed and avoided the years of pain and dread.
Dr. Rice has comforted me to the place where the physical pain is muted by her skill and understanding.
I've been told for years that my fear of the dentist is more psychosomatic than fear of physical pain.
Dr. Rice has resolved any fear I have and although there's mild pain, she has purposefully caused the mental anguish to vanish.
I don't ever dread my visit to Dr. Denine Rice and her staff. From the e-mail appointment reminder a week ahead, to the arrival at her office, the atmosphere is one of friendly professionalism. The office staff greets you by name and the office wait is never more than ten minutes. My comfort is priority and I appreciate that, but equally I know that the latest in dental technology is evident all around. Dr. Denine takes time to show me the pictures of problem areas (before and after) and her staff actually take time to guide me in properly taking care of my teeth at home. They help me to recognize that home is "where the rubber meets the road." I now take seven to ten minutes to brush my teeth; there is no need to rush this vital job. I now understand that my oral health relates to my total-bodily-health. The hygienist is so gentle that I have been known to relax and take a mini-nap, to his amusement. As I check out, the staff takes care to keep me apprised of the total cost, the necessary insurance job is handled, and new appointments are managed. If necessary, an appointment is made with my primary care dentist. No sweat... just smooth all around. In summary my visit to Dr. Rice - no pain, just a lot of gain.

My journey started about 3 years ago. We found out we were pregnant and I went into overdrive trying to clean up my diet…no soda, more water, less Chipotle. Well I wasn't able to give up Chipotle lol, but the fact remains I had a growing baby to take care of in my belly and I wanted to cook the best quality food for my family. Read More

Although I was glad to see 2012 come, I'm also glad to see it go. This year brought lots of laughter and good times, but never the less brought extreme sadness, stress, and challenges. I'm learning along the way that life is what you make it.
Do you wallow in self pity, feeling defeated or do you find it in your soul to get back up, dust yourself off and say, today will be a better day than yesterday. Sometimes it's best to take the focus off of yourself and focus on something else.…Continue

DDoS attacks have remained on the front page again in 2012 for a very simple reason; they continue to attack the largest and most secure networks in the world, from governments' web properties to Wall Street. Is this simply a function of increasing size of attacks that overwhelm these websites? Yes and no.
Arbor's ATLAS internet monitoring system shows that without question, DDoS attacks are getting bigger, much bigger.
The average attack in September 2012 was 1.67Gbps, 72 per cent growth from September 2011. The number of mid-range attacks (2 to 10Gbps) is also up 14.35 per cent so far this year.
Furthermore, very large attacks (10Gbps and over) are up by 90 per cent this year over 2011 and the largest attack in 2012 was 100.84Gbps.
This increase in attack size has significant implications not only for service providers, but specifically enterprises that continue to rely on firewalls/IPS to protect them from DDoS attacks.
Because these devices have to keep state information on every session, they can easily be overwhelmed with botnet-based attacks. This often makes them among the first points of failure during DDoS attacks. The larger the attacks get, the more likely these devices are to fail.
All of that said, when it comes to DDoS, size isn't everything. That is why it is best to deploy a layered defence strategy as a best practice for all enterprises.
The most robust defence is achieved by combining a cloud-based DDoS managed service that protects the network from larger attacks, together with an on-premise DDoS solution.
This will keep services available and to protect existing security infrastructure, such as the firewall and IPS, by detecting and mitigating application-layer attacks at the perimeter of the network.
Recent attacks prove it's not all about size
Recent bank attacks in the United States show DDoS is not all about size.
These attacks are becoming increasingly complex. They often include multiple techniques and targets. Take, for example, the recent attacks on financial services companies in the US.
These attacks used a combination of attack tools with vectors mixing application layer attacks on HTTP, HTTPS and DNS with volumetric attack traffic on a variety of protocols including TCP, UDP, ICMP and others.
The other obvious and uncommon factor used in this series of attacks was the simultaneous attacks, at high bandwidth, to multiple companies in the same vertical.
Many of the compromised hosts used in these attacks were servers with significant upstream bandwidth at their disposal. The majority of these bots resulted from PHP web applications that were exploited.
Many Wordpress sites, often using the out-of-date TimThumb plugin, were being compromised around the same time. Joomla and other PHP-based applications were also used.
Often these were unmaintained servers that attackers uploaded PHP web shells to and then used the web shells to further deploy attack tools.
Attackers connected to the tools either directly or through intermediate servers/proxies/scripts and therefore the concept of command and control did not apply in the usual manner.
Without question, DDoS attacks are growing larger. More significantly, they are becoming increasingly complex, blending multiple attack tools, techniques and targets. One reason why DDoS remains such an effective weapon is that too many enterprise networks continue to rely on solutions that were designed for other problems, to combat DDoS.
The complex, rapidly evolving attack vector requires purpose-built tools on-premise as well as cloud-based security. This provides comprehensive protection against both large attacks and those that target the application layer.
Until we see pervasive deployment of best practices defences, we can expect to see DDoS in the headlines for many years to come.

This is a very silly question.
For all regions S contained inside the unit square, what is the infimum of the quantity Perimeter(S)/Area(S)? This ratio being considered is not scale invariant, so it is only the constraint of being contained within the square which implies that this infimum is non-zero.
There are some "obvious" configurations to try, but I do not even know how to use a calculus of variations argument to show that these are local maxima.
Can one do better than $\displaystyle{2 + \sqrt{\pi}}$?
EDIT: One can probably show that an optimal S has $\mathbf{Z}/4\mathbf{Z}$ symmetry. Assume that S consists of line segments along part of boundary, leaving segments of length x at each corner, and then (four quarters of) a shape T in the corner. We can assume that T has volume Ax^2 and perimeter Px. Minimizing the quantity with respect to x, one obtains a minimum of:
$$2 +\sqrt{4 + \frac{(P/2-4)^2}{(A - 4)}},$$
which becomes $2 + \sqrt{\pi}$ when T is the circle, i.e., $A = \pi$ and $P = 2 \pi$.

Laminate flooring is made to be visually similar to its real wood or stone counterpart. However, laminate floors - instead of real wood or stone - consist of several different layers of various materials.
What is laminate flooring?
Laminate has a backing, core, image layer and wear layer. The bottom layer - the backing - is designed to protect the core from moisture penetration. This is because although the core is made up of a sturdy fibreboard or resin, it is permeable. This however does not make it unsuitable in wet rooms, as the layers surrounding it are not permeable. On top of the core is the image layer, displaying a high quality and realistic image of wood or stone, and the wear layer. This top layer adds extra protection to the layers underneath and prevents the floor becoming scratched, dented, or worn down over time.
Why choose laminate?
There are plenty of benefits that make choosing a laminate floor easy. It's a very popular choice thanks to its easy installation, low maintenance and smaller price tag compared to real wood. Unlike a solid or engineered option, laminate is water resistant, which makes it ideal for any room in your property, including bathrooms, provided moisture is cleaned up quickly and planks are tightly laid to avoid water seeping to the core layer. Where natural materials would expand and contract, laminate floors also do not change in response to temperatures. This means they are also safe to lay in utility rooms and conservatories that experience fluctuations in temperatures throughout the year. They are also safe for use with underfloor heating for the same reason, so would be a great addition to a modern property looking to achieve the wood look but can't use the real thing. Another great advantage is that it is very hard wearing so is perfect for rooms that experience heavy footfall.
How to install laminate
Laminate uses the quick and easy 'click' installation method. The click system means the planks simply fit together like a jigsaw without the need for any adhesive or additional joining methods. We would always recommend putting down an underlay to protect the floor underneath before installing your boards on top.
If you're not sure about laminate, then LVT (luxury vinyl tile) floors are your next best alternative. These floors are great for bathrooms or utility rooms since they are made from plastic and do not have a permeable core, saving you the worry of any moisture damage. LVT is easier to install but is often a little more expensive and may need replacing sooner, so it is important to consider your options.
We offer the cheapest prices across our huge range of wood and stone effect laminate flooring, and we guarantee not to be beaten on price. Find each of the brands we stock here to improve any living room, kitchen or bedroom:

BlackBerry Enterprise Application Middleware (BEAM)
So far, everything RIM announced at the conference was consumer focused. Granted you can use WebWorks to create enterprise applications, but most development done today on the BlackBerry platform is for consumer applications. Even the sample WebWorks applications they showed were consumer applications. So, what about the enterprise?
To make it easier for enterprises to create applications for BlackBerry devices, RIM announced the BlackBerry Enterprise Application Middleware (BEAM) platform. It really wasn't clear from the announcement what RIM was announcing here, but I figured out how it works and thought I'd share it with you.
If you think about how you would build a mobile application that communicates with back-end data sources, your application would be responsible for connecting to the server to request the data then processing the results. Because the application is running on a mobile device that could have intermittent network connectivity, your application would need to build in the necessary logic to detect network availability (usually through a listener interface) and queue requests if needed. As a special bonus, it would be good if the back-end server could queue up responses as well, detecting that the requesting device is not available and delivering results to the device once the device reappears. Rather than forcing your application to periodically query the server for updates, you could also build your back-end system to leverage the BlackBerry platform's push capabilities to push new data when it becomes available rather than making the device application come get it. How does BEAM fit in here? Well, BEAM essentially does a lot of that stuff for you automatically. The purpose of the platform is to isolate the developer from dealing with many of the issues I just described.
BEAM is a middleware gateway that sits inside of an organization's firewall and processes requests made by a back-end application then delivers data to a device application (as shown in Figure 3). An application uses a published interface (in the form of RESTful web services) to deliver data to the BEAM server which in turn delivers it over the air to the mobile application in the form of an XML document. When the device application returns data to the server, an XML document containing the data is sent to the BEAM server which then calls a callback function to return the data to the calling program. In this model, application data is pushed to devices (whether they're connected to a BES or using the BlackBerry Internet Service (BIS)) through the same mechanism. All of the work a developer would need to do to setup and manage the push process is all provided by the platform.
Client-side capabilities are provided by a suite of libraries a developer can use in one of two ways. At the simplest level, the client-side libraries can be used as a simple runtime container that renders the enterprise data in what's essentially a CRUD (create, read, update delete) application. By leveraging this approach, the developer has little control over the functionality provided by the application, but at the same time gets a very simple and quick to market solution to use for the client application. If the application needs more than the simple runtime container can provide, the developer can hand craft an application that uses the libraries to provide connectivity to the BEAM server and beyond then use the standard BlackBerry Java APIs to provide whatever UI and additional functionality is needed in the application.
Macintosh Support
Since most mobile developers develop for multiple mobile device platforms and an Apple Macintosh computer is required to develop for an iPhone or iPad, mobile developers pretty much need to have a Macintosh. A limiting factor for BlackBerry developers has been that the BlackBerry development tools will only run in Windows (32-bit windows even for some of the tools or simulators) and therefore you would either need two computers (one running Windows and another running Mac OS) or run some sort of Windows virtualization running on a Macintosh.
At last year's conference, RIM announced that it would be working to enable some of its tools to run on a Macintosh and this year they delivered. During his presentation this year, Chris Smith (a senior director in RIM's development organization) casually pointed out that the demo was being performed on a Mac Book. RIM is delivering on the promise to allow the BlackBerry development tools to run on a Macintosh. The tools are currently available as a tech preview, so you can download them here and play around with them as RIM puts on the finishing touches. It's implemented as an Eclipse plug-in, just like the same tools on Windows, although the tech preview does not integrate with any BlackBerry device simulators at this time. To test/debug Java applications on a Macintosh, you'll need to cable a physical device to the IDE and use it that way. Even though the BlackBerry is a Java device, the BlackBerry simulators are currently delivered as Windows executables. It's not clear whether RIM will make the device simulators available on the Macintosh in a future release of the tools or whether you'll be stuck using physical hardware for your testing. I imagine they will port the simulators over, but likely only future devices will be converted to run as Java applications since porting all of them may not be worth the effort.
RIM really didn't say when they expected the final product to be released. One of the things I noticed when I worked at RIM was that just getting a product passed through legal sometimes took a year or more to complete. While other vendors release new tools with every new version of a product, RIM developers have to wait at least an additional 6 months or more before production ready versions of RIM's tools become available. Once the production version is finished, it will likely be a while before you'll actually see them in the wild.
BlackBerry UI Designer
At last year's conference, RIM demonstrated a preview version of the BlackBerry UI Designer. Implemented as an Eclipse plug-in, the UI Designer allows BlackBerry developers to paint their application user interfaces just like they can on Android and the iPhone. The UI Designer was released as a tech preview and developers around the world have been waiting for the production release. I fully expected the product to be released at this year's conference, but apparently there's a problem with the product. It's done, the folks at RIM tell me, but Google acquired the company they worked with to create the tools and now everyone is waiting for legal issues to be resolved before they release the product. Maybe RIM will have them all worked out by next year's conference.

Lamb Shish Kabob with Wheat Pita and Tzatziki Sauce
Every one of the South Beach Diet cookbooks has a couple of recipes for lamb, even though South Beach recommends limiting saturated fat and lamb can have a lot of fat. If I'm eating in a fabulous restaurant and I order lamb, that's definitely a time where I'll forget about the fat content and enjoy the food. But if I'm cooking lamb at home, I'll trim off quite a bit of the fat, and then marinate the lamb in a marinade with olive oil, like I did recently when I cooked Grilled Lamb Chops. Do leave a bit of the fat though because lamb fat has so much flavor.
Lamb Shish Kabobs with Wheat Pita and Tzatziki Sauce
(Makes 3-4 servings, recipe created by Kalyn with inspiration from many sources.)
1-2 lbs. leg of lamb, trimmed and cut into pieces 1 1/2 inches square
1 or 2 large red onions, cut into pieces 1 1/2 inches square
Marinade Ingredients:
1/2 onion, very finely chopped
2 tsp. garlic puree or minced fresh garlic
1 tsp. dried Greek or Turkish oregano (not Mexican oregano)
1 tsp. dried rosemary
1 tsp. ground cumin
1/2 tsp. smoked paprika (or use regular paprika if you don't have the smoked kind)
1/4 tsp. fresh ground black pepper
2 T fresh squeezed lemon juice
1/3 cup olive oil, plus more to brush kabobs
Pour marinade into Ziploc bag with lamb cubes and marinate in the refrigerator 4-8 hours.
(Many thanks to The American Lamb Board who provided the lamb for this recipe.)

Today's dish is a vegan version of the classic Linguine with Clam Sauce, minus the clams.
Today's dish is a vegan version of the classic Linguine with Clam Sauce, minus the clams.
This dish gets its hearty taste from shiitake mushrooms and nutritional yeast. These ingredients, along with another, arame, can be classified as umami — also referred to as the fifth taste.
Arame is a dried seaweed ingredient used in many Japanese dishes. I had a hard time finding some, so I opted not to use it.
Along with salty, sweet, bitter and sour, umami is said to add savoriness to dishes. In essence, using umami ingredients gives a meaty flavor without using meat.
Serves: 6
Preparation time: 10 minutes
Total time: 30 minutes
Note: Mark Reinfield, author of several vegan cookbooks, "revamps a classic Italian recipe, replacing clams with a combination of shiitake mushrooms and arame, a sea vegetable available in the Asian food aisle of supermarkets."
Tested by: Susan M. Selasky for the Free Press Test Kitchen.
Nutrition: 386 calories (21 percent from fat), 9 grams fat (1 gram saturated fat), 65 grams carbohydrates, 16 grams protein, 114 milligrams sodium, 0 milligrams cholesterol, 5 grams fiber
12 ounces dry linguine
2 tablespoons arame, optional
2 tablespoons olive oil
6 cloves garlic, peeled, minced (about 2 tablespoons)
3 cups fresh shiitake mushrooms, stemmed and cut into �-inch cubes
� cup dry white wine
1� tablespoons lemon juice
1� cups unsweetened soy, rice or macadamia nut milk
3 tablespoons nutritional yeast
2 tablespoons Earth Balance margarine, optional
� teaspoon red pepper flakes
3 tablespoons fresh flat-leaf parsley, finely chopped
4 teaspoons pine nuts or walnuts, chopped and toasted
Cook pasta in boiling, salted water according to package directions. Reserve about 1 cup of the cooking water. Drain the pasta. Meanwhile, if using arame soak it in � cup hot water.
Meanwhile, in large skillet heat the oil over medium heat. Add garlic and cook 1 minute, stirring constantly. Add mushrooms, wine and lemon juice; saut� 5 minutes, adding about � cup of the reserved pasta cooking water (if needed) to prevent sticking.
Reduce the heat and add soy milk, nutritional yeast, margarine (if using), red pepper flakes and arame with soaking liquid; season with salt and pepper, if desired. Cook 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Divide linguine among 4 plates, top with shiitakes and sauce, and garnish with parsley and pine nuts.

Follow-up Question about Hep C and HIV Coinfection (DELAYED SEROCONVERSION: HIV and Hepatitis C coinfection 2009)
Dear Dr. Bob, Thank you for your prompt response. I will be making a donation at www.concertedeffort.org tomorrow. I have just a couple of questions I meant to ask previously.
My risk event occurred as a result of a sexual assault from a man from China. Is it possible that the DNA PCR would not pick up a non B subtype, which could be found in a person from China. Also, wouldn't the antibody test window for both HEP C and HIV be delayed beyond six months?
I am awaiting one more CBC and HEP C and HIV RNA PCR. I will let you know the outcome.
I wan't to woo-hoo, especially after what I have been through. Thank you for your time and expertise.
ATC, Ph.D., MSW
Hello ATC,
Would the DNA PCR miss subtypes found in China? No.
Would the window be delayed beyond six months due to hepatitis C and HIV? No. You don't have HIV or hepatitis C. (See below.)
You are awaiting another CBC, hepatitis C antibody-test and HIV RNA PCR. This is a waste of time, effort, blood and money. The results will unquestionably be negative.
Stop testing. Start WOO-HOOing. If you can't, you should seek psychological counseling to help you cope with your irrational fears.
Dr. Bob
Dr. Rob, your input please? (HEPATITIS C AND DELAYED HIV SEROCONVERSION) Mar 29, 2009
Dr. Bob, I have a question about HIV and Hepatitis C coinfection. I am finding conflicting information on the internet regarding whether coinfection would delay HIV seroconversion. Several sites and articles are stating that it would, but they all cite a 1997 journal article about health care workers with delayed seroconversion. I wasnt sure if other factors may have contributed to late seroconversion in these health care workers (such as PEP). Further, since this article is rather old, I was wondering if the newer tests would pick up HIV antibodies regardless of HCV coinfection. I am wondering how long after exposure do I need to wait in order for my test to provide a conclusive antibody result and rule out HIV infection. My exposure is that i have been involved in unprotected sex one time with a unknown partner. Later i came to know that the partner was with a promiscous guy(who sleeps around with prostitutes) before me. I have got tested after 3 months after the exposure and the HIV antibody test result is negative. Can i forget about this and move on? or Do i still need testing?
I have also read in the medhelp archives that Dr. HHH and Dr. Edward Hook of medhelp say that the HIV/HCV coinfection has no effect on the window period of HIV. Also what is meant by a coinfection, should the person be exposed to both the virus at the same time or same exposure? or does that mean they have already one virus and is exposed to the other one? I am promising donation. Dr. Bob i am so tired to read all the information on the internet about this topic. I am very scared. Also does any type of Hepatitis i mean Hepatitis A, B or C coinfection with HIV delays the window period or is it only Hep C with HIV coinfection? Your comment on this will help me a lot. Thanks for your precious time. Please answer.
Response from Dr. Frascino
Your worries are unwarranted. (See below.) Yell WOO-HOO and as Tony Soprano says, "Fuhgeddaboutit."

curious (SEXUAL TRANSMISSION OF HEPATITIS C)(HEPATITIS C AND DELAYED HIV SEROCONVERSION)Dec 31, 2008
Hey Dr. Frascino,
First off, thanks for everything you do. Your hard work and dedication to all of us who need answers doesnt go unnoticed. You are a great person. I have a couple of questions.
What is your oppinion on hepatitis c as an STD. Ive heard that it's not and I also heard that it is. Ive been tested for HIV 4 times and all the other stds twice out to 8 months after any possible exposure, but my doctor never included Hep C. Is that something that should be a worry from sex or do you feel it's more of a drug injection disease from blood to blood contact?
Also, if someone is infected with multiple viruses at the same time will the body's immune system still be able to make antibodies for each virus in a normal amount of time? Or would they be delayed significantly? If infact I dont have Hep C, do you feel 8 months negative HIV test is conclusive even though i had a positive mono spot test and EBV titers about a month after my possible exposure to someone of unknown status?
And lastly I have more of a scientific question. Why is it that we are not able to cure the HIV virus yet we are able to use current medication to bring someone's viral load from a very high number to undetectable in the blood? How can we kill off so much of the virus but not be able to completely rid it from the body?
Im sure you are a very busy guy but if you could possibly answer me I would greatly appreciate it, if not no love lost. I hope you are having a great holiday season. Stay well.
Oh and how would i go about making a donation?
Response from Dr. Frascino
I've discussed the sexual transmission of hepatitis C many times in this forum. Check the archives! As an example, I'll reprint below some information form the archives pertaining to this topic.
If someone is infected with several viruses simultaneously, the body's immune system will react to each virus individually and simultaneously. The immune system is very capable of multitasking! There has been some concern about hepatitis C and HIV coinfection causing delayed seroconversion. I've discussed this multiple times previously. See below.
- Regarding a cure for HIV, we have a whole chapter devoted to this topic in the archives. Check it out! Briefly, the reason cure is so difficult is that HIV attaches itself to CD4 cells, which are part of our immune system, the very system that is designed to help us fight off invading germs. The virus is very clever. It actually inserts its genetic material into human cells and uses these cells as virus factories to make more virus, which then infects more immune cells. HIV can also hide in places that drugs can't get to. I'll reprint some information about finding a cure below.
Thanks for your donation to the Robert James Frascino AIDS Foundation (www.concertedeffort.org).
Happy Holidays.

I REALLY NEED YOU!!!! (HEPATITIS C AND DELAYED HIV SEROCONVERSION) May 20, 2008
Dr. Bob, I asked you awhile back if HEP C would delay HIV seroconversion.
You said that HEP C would not delay HIV seroconversion! However, Dr. McGovern of the body says that HEP C will delay the HIV window period and that someone who was exposed to both should wait until 6 months to 1 year!!!! Before getting a result!
What's up with that????
Now I know my risk (sharing dollar bill to sniff cocaine) was a low risk incident but what should I do????
I got tested for HEP C at 14 weeks....NEGATIVE!
And HIV at 15 and 17 weeks!!!! NEGATIVE
What should I do???? I think that I am ok and then I hear this stuff!?
Response from Dr. Frascino
No, you don't really need me! What you really need is to pay more attention to what both Dr. McGovern and I have told you on multiple occasions: You are HIV negative. I may need to put a restraining order out on you if you continue to ask your same question over and over again in multiple forums. Come on guy! Give it up! Accept the truly wonderful news you're HIV negative and give other worriers a chance to have their concerns addressed, OK?
This is the last time I'm going to go over this information with you, so pay attention! The Centers for Disease Control has published guidelines for health care workers who sustain a significant occupational exposure to a patient coinfected with HIV and hepatitis C viruses. (This is a far cry from snorting coke through a rolled-up Ben Franklin!) The health care worker guidelines for occupational exposure to coinfected patients suggest HIV-antibody testing at baseline, six weeks and twelve weeks after exposure. There is a caveat, however: If, and I must stress this "if," the health care worker develops acute hepatitis C infection, then and only then (I also stress the "then and only then") would additional HIV-antibody testing be recommend. In this case, and only in this case, are HIV tests out to 12 months recommended. Put another way, if the health care worker does not get ill with acute hepatitis C infection, additional tests would not be recommended!
You have tested hepatitis C negative out to 14 weeks. You do not have acute hepatitis C infection. Hence even if you were a health care worker with documented significant exposure to a coinfected patient, you would not need additional HIV testing. I just can't make it any plainer or clearer than that. Those are the facts, plain and simple. How you choose to live with the incontrovertible evidence that you do not have hepatitis C and that you are conclusively HIV negative is now up to you.
So, I'm signing off on this case permanently. If you require additional reassurance, you can either reread my many (too many) responses to your repetitive and ongoing unwarranted worries or you can seek psychological help. Your problem is not virological; it's psychological!

Topping and Hep C (SEXUAL TRANSMISSION OF HEPATITIS C, 2008) Oct 13, 2008
Okay so this is my question.... I am an HIV positive gay man, and currently I had unsafe sex with another HIV positive person, both of us are undetectable, but I later found that he also is co-infected with Hep C. During the sex, we didnt have rough sex and I was the top while he bttmd. So know I am really freaking out because I keep looking online and everything that I am reading says that it a very low risk that you can get through sex and that is is more blood to blood contact. Is Hep C the same as HIV in the regaurds that if you are under going treatment it is harder to catch, and being that I am the top is it harder for me to get it and what are the chances that I can be infected aswell... Please help... Thanks
Response from Dr. Frascino
Hello Top Gun,
Hepatitis C is yet another reason barebacking is risky for MSM (men who have sex with men). We have seen an increase in sexually transmitted hepatitis C in MSM. (See below.)
As for hepatitis C-transmission risk, it's not really analogous to HIV. The transmission is primarily blood-to-blood transmission that occurs due to trauma during the sexual activity. I'm not aware of any data that indicates lower hepatitis C viral load decreases transmission risk, but it very well may be true. Your HIV specialist can easily screen you for hepatitis C. I urge you to reconsider your decision to bareback. Contracting an STD can have very negative consequences on your HIV disease.
Good luck.

Accidental Spit in Eye (Hep C) (HEPATITIS C TRANSMISSION) Aug 26, 2008
I have the same question as asked in "blood tainted saliva in eye" asked by another visitor, but my question is concerning Hepatitis C? While talking in a session, a client of mine (I'm a counselor) with that dx in her chart (at some pt), accidentally let a small amount of spit out which hit my eye. What are the chances of Hepatitis C transmission that way
Response from Dr. Frascino
Your risk of acquiring hepatitis C from getting a "small amount of spit" in your eye is nonexistent. I'll reprint some information about hepatitis C transmission below.
Dr. Bob
Hepatitis C Transmission
HCV is mainly transmitted when infected blood from one person directly enters another person's bloodstream. HCV has been detected in semen and vaginal fluid, so genital fluids may be infectious. Saliva and tears are not.
HCV, like HIV, cannot be transmitted by touching, kissing, hugging, sharing eating utensils, or drinking from the same glass. However, unlike HIV, which dies in less than a minute outside the body, HCV survives and is infectious in dried blood for days or even weeks. People can become infected by sharing items that contain only tiny traces of dried blood.
HCV can be transmitted through:
injecting drugs using shared syringes and/or spoons, caps, and other cookers; water; filters; and ties that may have been used by someone else;
tattooing or piercing using unsterilized needles, contaminated ink, or inkwells;
needlestick accidents (a problem for health care workers);
medical or dental procedures with unsterilized equipment, including kidney dialysis (rare);
sharing items that may contain blood, such as razors, toothbrushes, and manicuring equipment; and
unprotected sex with someone who has HCV.
Hepatitis C can also be transmitted from a pregnant woman to her fetus in the womb or to an infant during labor and delivery.
Before thorough screening of the blood supply began in the early 1990s, some people received blood or blood products containing HCV. Since then, infection control procedures have virtually eliminated the risk in the United States and Western Europe.
However, up to 90% of people with hemophilia were infected with HIV and HCV after being treated with unscreened clotting factors; screening and viral inactivation procedures were introduced in the late 1980s.
In some countries, infections still occur from blood transfusions because blood is not screened. Unsafe medical procedures, such as using unsterilized equipment to vaccinate people, continue to spread HIV and hepatitis C in many parts of the world.
Hepatitis C and Injection Drug Use Worldwide, most HCV infections are attributable to injection drug use. This happens when people share injection equipment, including syringes, cookers, possibly cottons, and other injection paraphernalia.
Hepatitis C is a smaller, more durable virus than HIV. As discussed above, the hepatitis C virus can live in syringes and other objects for days or weeks. This is why it's so important to talk to people you get high with about how to make sure you're getting high safely, and in a way that protects everyone.
Cleaning syringes with bleach reduces the risk for HIV transmission but may be less effective against hepatitis C. If you're getting high, use a new set each time you inject. If you're injecting drugs with other people, mark your equipment and be sure that everyone has his/her own spoon or cooker. Using clean needles and your own works each time you inject stops both HIV and HCV transmission.
What About Hepatitis C in Drug Users Who Don't Inject? "I also worry about sharing a rolled-up note when I do coke -- but it doesn't stop me from doing it or my friends from being willing to share. I guess this all comes down to individuals agreeing to own and share risks that they feel to be acceptable. These risks feel okay most but not all of the time."
Hepatitis C is more common among non-injection drug users than among the general population. Researchers are not sure why. Since HCV is so common among IDUs, most drug users -- whether they inject or not -- know people who have HCV.
It may be possible to get HCV from sharing straws or rolled dollar bills for snorting drugs, and possibly from sharing crack pipes. Use your own bills and straws, and if you're smoking crack or heroin, use a stem to protect yourself.
HIV, HCV and Sex Sexual Transmission of HIV
Worldwide, sexual transmission accounts for the majority of new HIV infections each year. The risk of sexual transmission is greatly reduced by using condoms during sex.
The ways that HIV is transmitted are well understood. HIV is present in blood, semen, vaginal fluid, and breast milk.
We also know that different sexual acts carry different risk factors. For example, mutual masturbation and body rubbing are zero risk, and oral sex is very low risk. On the other hand, anal or vaginal sex without a condom is high risk. A high viral load in the HIV-positive partner increases the risk for infection, and a low or undetectable viral load will reduce the risk.
An HIV-positive person with untreated STDs (such as herpes, gonorrhea, and syphilis), is more likely to transmit HIV. This is because STDs increase the amount of HIV virus in genital fluids and make the HIV-positive partner more infectious. Similarly, an HIV-negative partner with untreated STDs is more vulnerable to HIV infection.
Sexual Transmission of HCV
The risk for sexually transmitted HCV is very low in monogamous, HIV-negative, heterosexual couples in which one partner has HCV. One study following almost 900 heterosexual monogamous couples did not report any HCV infections over ten years of follow-up. These couples did not use condoms, but also did not have anal sex or sex during menstruation. Presumably, the uninfected partner in these couples may have had less exposure to blood, and therefore less chance of catching HCV during sex.
The risk for sexually transmitted HCV is higher for HIV-positive gay men and is probably also higher for men or women who have numerous partners and/or lots of anal or vaginal sex without condoms.
HCV is usually contracted when infected blood from one person enters another person's body. Although the hepatitis C virus has been found in semen and vaginal fluid, it is unclear whether and to what extent these fluids are infectious.
Sex is riskier if it involves exposure to blood. This could include longer and more energetic sex, anal sex, fisting, sex with a woman during menstruation, and group sex. Condoms can reduce these risks. Latex gloves can reduce exposure to blood during fisting.
HIV-Positive Gay Men In the United Kingdom, more than 300 cases of sexually transmitted HCV infection have been reported in HIV-positive gay men. A similar link between HCV sexual transmission and HIV-positive gay men has been reported in some other European and US cities.
So far, new cases of HCV sexual transmission in HIV-negative gay men are not being reported nearly as often. This suggests that HIV plays an important role.
Some studies have reported associations between HCV transmission and the following risk factors among gay men:
anal intercourse without condoms;
"heavier" sex, longer periods of sex, fisting, and sharing sex toys;
sex with a higher number of partners;
group sex;
use of some recreational drugs that lower inhibitions and may make condom use less likely;
infection with other sexually transmitted diseases, especially syphilis; and
meeting partners online.
We can speculate about each of these points, but there is still a lack of clear information about why HIV-positive gay men seem more likely than HIV-negative gay men to acquire HCV through sexual contact.
Crystal Meth, Ecstasy, Cocaine and HCV Infection Although sex seems to be the route of HCV infection among the HIV-positive gay men discussed above, taking drugs in this situation can increase the risk, even if the drugs are not injected. Drugs like ecstasy, coke, and crystal meth, all of which can make people less careful than usual, are frequently found at parties where there is group sex. Under these circumstances, the desire to dispense with condoms may be high.
HIV and HEP C: Delayed Seroconversion Jun 8, 2009
Dear Dr. Bob,
I see that many people rely on your service. Thank you for your time and expertise. I will make a donation to your foundation to support your efforts.
Here is my issue. I tested negative on antibody tests for HIV and Hep C numerous times as far out as 6 months past a possible exposure. I also tested "not detected" on an HIV DNA PCR at 4 and 5.5 months and the same on a HEP C RNA PCR. I would woo-hoo except that I have had a long list of strange symptoms that make me question the findings. Also, LFTs and CBC have been consistently normal in four tests taken over the last 6 months.
The symptoms have included sinus infections, sore throat, shingles, conjunctivitis, encephalomeningitis, painful peripheral neuropathy, 25-30 pound weight loss, diarrhea, sweating, and pain on the right side of my abdomen.
Please let me know what you think.
Response from Dr. Frascino
Your repeatedly negative antibody tests for HIV and hepatitis C out to six months plus your negative HIV DNA PCR and hepatitis C RNA PCR at 4 and 5.5 months are absolutely conclusive and definitive. HIV and hepatitis C are not your problems. No way. No how. No additional testing for these two illnesses is warranted.
Unfortunately I cannot diagnose the cause of your symptoms over the Internet. However, what I can do with absolute certainty is advise you that neither HIV nor hepatitis C is the cause!
Thank you for your donation to the Robert James Frascino AIDS Foundation (www.concertedeffort.org). Follow up with your general medical doctor if you have any persistent symptoms. However, remember the cause is definitely not HIV or hepatitis C.
Good luck.
Dr. Bob

Cite terrorism, bomb, fuel terrorism, repeat.
While blowback from Libya is felt in Mali, and from Mali in Algeria, recent comments from British and French leaders lay bare western powers' perception of conflict in Islamic lands through the lense of the war on terror that sees "terrorists" that must be stopped through military force with little thought given to the price that will be paid for the involvement.
As France continues to drop bombs on its former colony of Mali, French Defense Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian left no doubt of his country's goal there.
French Defense Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian: "The goal is the total reconquest of Mali.""The goal is the total reconquest of Mali. We will not leave any pockets" of resistance, Le Drian said Sunday on France 5 television.
Meanwhile, British Prime Minister David Cameron said that the hostage situation at the BP gas plant in Algeria was a "stark reminder," saying events there are part of "a global threat" and "require a global response."
And, being part of the war on terror, Cameron explains, it has no end point, as he hints as all-out force to be used:
It will require a response that is about years, even decades, rather than months. [...]
What we face is an extremist, Islamist, al-Qaeda-linked terrorist group. Just as we had to deal with that in Pakistan and in Afghanistan so the world needs to come together to deal with this threat in north Africa.
It is linked to al-Qaeda, it wants to destroy our way of life, it believes in killing as many people as it can. We need to work with others to defeat the terrorists and to close down the ungoverned spaces where they thrive with all the means that we have. [emphasis mine]
British Prime Minister David Cameron: "It will require a response that is about years, even decades, rather than months."But looking at how 'we dealt with that' in Afghanistan would be wise, The Independent's Owen Jones writes:
It is conceivable that this intervention could – for a time – achieve its goals of pushing back the Islamist militias, and shore up Mali's government. But the Libyan war was seen as a success, too; and here we are now engaging with its catastrophic blowback. In Afghanistan, Western forces remain engaged in a never-ending war which has already helped destabilised Pakistan, leading to drone attacks that have killed hundreds of civilians and unleashed further chaos. The price of Western interventions may often be ignored by our media, but it is still paid nonetheless.
