Pope: when Christians lack difficulties, ‘something is wrong’

Vatican City, May 28, 2013 / 04:08 pm (CNA/EWTN News).- Faithful Christians will always face difficulties, said Pope Francis on Tuesday, warning that a worldly, career-based approach to faith avoids the suffering and persecution inherent in following Christ.

“Many Christians, tempted by the spirit of the world, think that following Jesus is good because it can become a career, they can get ahead,” the Pope said.

“When a Christian has no difficulties in life – when everything is fine, everything is beautiful – something is wrong.”
He suggested this temptation is common for a Christian who is “a great friend of the spirit of the world, of worldliness.”

“You cannot remove the cross from the path of Jesus, it is always there,” he added.

Pope Francis delivered his homily at morning Mass at the chapel of the Casa Santa Marta residence. Archbishop Rino Fisichella and Monsignor José Octavio Ruiz Arenas, respectively the president and secretary of the Pontifical Council for the New Evangelization, concelebrated Mass.

“Think of Mother Teresa: what does the spirit of the world say of Mother Teresa? ‘Ah, Blessed Teresa is a beautiful woman, she did a lot of good things for others.’ The spirit of the world never says that the Blessed Teresa spent, every day, many hours in adoration … Never!” the Pope said.

He explained that the worldly spirit “reduces Christian activity to doing social good.”

“As if Christian life was a gloss, a veneer of Christianity,” he said. “The proclamation of Jesus is not a veneer: the proclamation of Jesus goes straight to the bones, heart, goes deep within and changes us. And the spirit of the world does not tolerate it, will not tolerate it, and therefore, there is persecution.”

Just as Pope Francis criticized career-based Christianity, he also warned about a solely culture-based approach to the faith.

He criticized the attitude of following Jesus because one was born in a Christian culture. He said this ignores “the necessity of true discipleship of Jesus, the necessity to travel his road.”

“If you follow Jesus as a cultural proposal, then you are using this road to get higher up, to have more power. And the history of the Church is full of this, starting with some emperors and then many rulers and many people, no?” the Pope observed.

The Holy Father said that this attitude is present even among some priests and bishops.

He concluded with an exhortation to follow Jesus Christ truly.

“Following Jesus is just that: going with him out of love, behind him: on the same journey, the same path. And the spirit of the world will not tolerate this and what will make us suffer, but suffering as Jesus did,” he said.

“Let us ask for this grace: to follow Jesus in the way that he has revealed to us and that he has taught us. This is beautiful, because he never leaves us alone. Never! He is always with us. So be it.”

Nothing is worse for a Saudi man than imagining himself a woman

This post was written by Eman Al Nafjan and originally appeared at her blog Saudiwoman’s Weblog.

Every Ramadan for the past sixteen years a show called Tash Ma Tash, which means something in the literal lines of “splash what may,” is closely watched by almost every Saudi household. The show is a satire of Saudi society and it’s funny, to say the least. It’s also been prohibited by several sheikhs as un-Islamic, especially due to the actors’ portrayal of those very same sheikhs.

Yesterday’s episode was even more controversial than usual–an episode that had the majority of Saudi men, both conservative and liberal, shocked to their bone marrow. In it, a Saudi woman marries four men because she’s “financially and emotionally capable and therefore can’t see a reason why not.” Those very same words we hear over and over again from polygamist Saudi men. However, when it’s a woman talking, even the most rational Saudi man turns rabid.

The expressions of disgust and revulsion were all over the place. One commenter wrote that he lost all respect for them ever since one of the lead actors wore a woman’s dress last year. As if that was the most degrading thing a man could do. We are so inferior as a gender that wearing our clothes, even as part of a comedy show, will demean you as a person.

The episode’s idea is not original. Earlier this year a Saudi writer, Nadine Al Badair, had a piece published in an Egyptian magazine titled “My four husbands and I”. For a good English coverage of the column and the outcry it caused read this Guardian article and this Al Arabiya article.

Nadine Al Badair does not have four husbands and I doubt she wants four husbands. The whole point of the article was to put men in our shoes and tell them that if you are looking to polygamy out of boredom, sexual dissatisfaction, or–my favorite–“renew life” (as though a second wife would magically make hair grow back on his head and shrink his pot belly), then there’s a good chance that your current wife is feeling the same way, except she does not have a mutawa sanctioned out like you do.

But because Nadine Al Badiar expressed the fact that women have sexual needs and do get bored of their husbands, she was called a whore by some and blasphemous by others. There was even talk of a lawsuit against her. The ugliness of the attacks grossly outweigh anything that she wrote.

So this was the inspiration for yesterday’s show and, just like the column, it too has caused an outcry: seconds after the closing credits, #6ash went crazy on Twitter. And as I’m writing the morning after, I expect quite a few articles to be written on how low the show has gone to actually delve into something as repulsive as imagining what it’s like to be a Saudi woman in a polygamous marriage.

Election 2008 The World is Watching

Video Dispatch

Pakistan: Taliban Goes After Media

Publishers receive death threats; many blame U.S. for troubles

BY Sharmeen Obaid ChinoySeptember 22, 2008

Sharmeen Obaid Chinoy is a regular correspondent for FRONTLINE/World and is based in Karachi.

Jugnu Mohsin and her husband Najam Sethi are Pakistan's most powerful media couple. Between them, they edit three newspapers, four magazines, and run a television production company. A few months ago, they began receiving threatening letters signed by the Taliban.

The letters accused Sethi of being an anti-Islam American agent. They warned him that all his reports published in both his English-language papers The Friday Times and The Daily Times had been read and rejected by the forces of Islam. He was told that unless he repented for his sins and changed his editorial policy immediately, he would be executed like all the other un-Islamic American agents in the country. A picture attached to one letter showed a Pakistani journalist alleged to be an agent of America with his throat cut.

As a precaution, Mohsin and Sethi cut back their engagements, hired armed security guards and sent their children out of the country. The Taliban has already beheaded scores of people under one pretext or another so the couple could not take the threats lightly.

Five years ago, when I interviewed Mohsin for FRONTLINE/World, she was optimistic about her country's future and confident that the Taliban could be defeated. But when I visited her office in Lahore last week, she described Pakistan in far more bleak terms.

The Friday Times is a prominent liberal newspaper in Pakistan. The Taliban has begun sending death threats to the newspaper's editors.

"The Taliban are not only in the Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA), they are able to make inroads into cities with impunity," Mohsin told me. "They have the media and the populace enthralled. They are winning the battle for the hearts and minds of the people."

It is a battle, she believes, the United States is losing.

The Taliban has strengthened its propaganda machine. The group regularly releases videos in which members parade dead bodies of civilian women and children it claims have been killed by the hand of "Zionist America and its Pakistani counterpart, the Army."

Taliban leaders hold press conferences where they demand to know why Pakistan is fighting America's war. They suggest that they have thousands of well-equipped young men ready to lay down their lives in the name of Islam. This war, they say, will end when the United States stops using the Pakistan Army to kill innocent Muslims.

Taliban leaders hold press conferences demanding to know why Pakistan is fighting America's war. This war, they say, will end when the United States stops using the Pakistan Army to kill innocent Muslims.

In a largely illiterate country, these tactics are working - now more than ever. Last week, U.S. Special Forces landed on Pakistani soil for the first time since the war on terror began. Helicopters carried U.S. and Afghan commandos deep into the tribal belt targeting a Taliban hideout. In the last month alone, newspapers here have reported that the U.S. has attacked inside Pakistan six times with missiles fired from unmanned aircrafts. On the streets here, anti-U.S. sentiment is at an all-time high.

Just two days ago, a powerful suicide bomb ripped through the Marriott Hotel in Islamabad, killing 53 people and injuring more than 200. Two Americans were killed in the bombing, which experts say bears the hallmark of an Al Qaeda attack.

In the aftermath, many people I interviewed on the streets repeated what the Taliban propaganda machine has been saying, "Innocent people are being killed because we support America." There is virtually no blame attributed to the Taliban.

When The New York Times reported last week that President Bush had signed a secret order approving the deployment of U.S. forces in Pakistan, the administration did not deny the report.

Newspaper publisher Jugnu Mohsin has received death threats from the Taliban for her publications' editorial policies

The impact of that decision is already being felt in Pakistan. There are signs that moderate tribal leaders living in the tribal belt may join forces with the Taliban if these incursions do not end. Just in the past few days, tribesmen aligned with the government have issued a statement confirming that they will retaliate if any more U.S. strikes take place.

By taking direct military action in Pakistan, the U.S. has raised the stakes for the Pakistan government. But Mohsin believes that the U.S. presidential election in November and a change in the White House will help improve Pakistani public opinion.

"By selecting Barack Obama as their presidential candidate, the Democrats have already rehabilitated the image of America as a country where anything and everything is possible," she said. "Where there are opportunities alike for black people, for brown people, for white people, for immigrants... it is an America that people had forgotten in the last eight years."

U.S. direct military action in Pakistan has raised the stakes for the Pakistan government. But Mohsin believes that November's U.S. presidential election will help improve Pakistani public opinion.

Yet it was Senator Obama who said in a speech outlining his foreign policy last year, "If we have actionable intelligence about high-value terrorist targets and President Musharraf won't act, we will."

More recently, Republican presidential candidate John McCain has taken on a more conciliatory tone. After his forceful statement last year that he would chase Osama Bin Laden to the gates of hell if necessary, McCain told CNN's Larry King in August that he would respect Pakistan's sovereignty and would not send in U.S. forces, even though many believe high-value figures such as Bin Laden are operating freely there.

Threatened newspaper editors such as Mohsin believe that recent U.S. military intervention is only adding to the crisis and playing into the Taliban's hands.

"This is our war," Mohsin told me, "and we have to fight this on our own terms. If everybody turns against America, the Pakistani government will no longer be in a position to support the war on terror."

Americans have failed both in Iraq and Afghanistan. The lull in violence in Iraq is due to Americans bribing the awakening councils and putting fighters on payroll courtesy of the US tax payer. American soldiers have proven unworthy and useless in fighting this guerrilla war. Still they blame Pakistani army for their failures. Pakistan has done enough and wishes Americans to leave all of South Asia.

shahid iqbal - washington D.C, Washington
I fully endorse views of Sam illahi for the extremely poor law and order situation in Pakistan where neither pro-American nor progressive nor the truth-speaking journalists are secured in Pakistan.Can the leadership of Pakistan tell me honestly why they are going after the media even though the Taliban are being represented in the media by the people from Jamat Islami, Maulana Fazlur and senator Sami-ul-haq?Hussain Naqi, Jugnu and Najam Sethi are the pride of our nation, and are now our only beacon of hope for the frustrated nation which is at the brink of default.I fail to understand why peoples' memories are so weak. They have soon forgotten Shaukat Aziz, the economic wizard of Pakitan. In my view Aziz is primarily responsible for current financial crisis in Pakistan.Jamat Islami should ask the government to ask the House to bring Shaukat Aziz, Salman Shah, and Vaqar Ahmed, the former right-hand man of Shaukat Aziz (currently enjoying a senior position in Ministry of Finance) to clear their position about current financial Tsunami in Pakistan. The nation too should not pin much hope in Shaukat Tareen. He doesn't have a "Magic Wand" to revive the sunken economy overnight.Pakistan is passing through a most crucial period in its existence -- one when history reminds us of the predictions of Maulana Abul Kalam Azad. One of his predictions proved correct in 1971 while (God forbid) a second prediction is likely to come true very shortly in the shape of the "Talibanic Fanatic Republic of Pakistan." Some said, very correctly, "Rats will dance when cats will away."Shaheed-e-Karbala Hussain Hussain

Once Paradise, my loving Pakistan has been turned into a graveyard by "Watwani Walay Mullah."Peace-loving people of the NWFP and tribal areas were never against Pakistan or supporters of terrorism in any way. I have read hundreds of such articles in number of newspapers of Pakistan including The Daily Times. They have, however, never spared terrorists and terrorism and even a dictator like Musharraf.I salute Jugnu and her revered husband.The Taliban and al-Qaeda people cannot tolerate outspoken journalists like Hussain Naqi, Najam Sethi, Jugnu Mohsin, who are still upholding the banner of truth and fairness and following the path of their highly revered ancestors
Hazrat Imam Hussain (RA).In fact, the Taliban have forced literary figures to flee Pakistan due to poor security conditions in that country. Let me pay tribute to the West who are even still giving shelter to learned people who escaped from Pakistan and providing them with every facility, including health facilities, although they are themselves facing "temporary financial crisis."

Mohammed Khan - Karachi, Pakistan
The Marriott bombing was Pakistan's version of 9/11- A building 5 minutes from the prime ministers house and the supreme court reduced to rubble...Intelligence failures all around- Now our President who is in the U.S. is paying Ms.Sarah Palin compliments, "You look so gorgeous. Now, I know why the whole of America is crazy about you,""announcing that he wants to hug her on national television instead of tackling the economy, militants and extremism. This is democracy for us Pakistanis, i hope your happy since your the ones who insisted we become a democracy!

adam - san francisco, ca
Another informative, scary report about the rapidly deteriorating situation in Pakistan. Your reporter, Sharmeen Obaid Chinoy, is brave, as are the editors she is interviewing.

San Jose, USA
As Americans focus on how to change the hearts and minds of the Pakistanis and what can be done to change their view about America, the realization that needs to creep into the American psyche should be "What can be done within America to change its views toward the Taliban and Pakistanis?"The US looks at the Talibans and their "sympathizers" as criminals, terrorists, fanatics engaged in a crazy ritual of killing and mayhem. The almost daily suicidal attacks on countless innocents can but lead to such a conclusion in the minds of the average American observer and the knee jerk response for America is to retaliate with all its might on the perceived perpetrators of these heinous acts.The Taliban look at America with a similar myopic view. While Americans don't send in suicide bombers to annihilate their targets, they can easily do so sitting in the comfort of their Las Vegas sanctuary from whence drones can shower the populace with hellfire missiles and bombs, mercilessly killing countless innocents and sowing the seeds of hatred amongst the families, friends and tribesmen of those destroyed. It is a no win situation for the Americans, the Taliban and the Pakistanis. For every innocent that is killed, and yes at this point even the terrorist killed is almost seen as an "innocent," many other either join the fight outright against the foreign "terrorist" or express their hatred in other ways.Bottom line, the emphasis for America must be on America to change itself so that it views these "terrorist" with a different perspective. In many ways what it sees in the Taliban is nothing more than its own reflections. The world cannot endure this death struggle to the end forever. This is not a war in which a victorious army will see the surrender of a vanquished general, this is a war spurned by hatred. And until the fires of hatred are doused, it will continue till all good things are consumed.As Gandhi said:
"You must be the change you want to see in the world." It is America that has to change its perspective of how it sees the world, if it expects to win the hearts and minds of those whose support it needs.

Karachi, Sindh
Sharmeen is a nice and intellegent gal. This part of her story needs to be pondered upon"This war, they say, will end when the United States stops using the Pakistan Army to kill innocent Muslims."Believe me, i grew up in the now troubled province of Pakistan's Northwest Frontier Province. No bad guys, the Taliban were there prior to 9/11. Taliban are destroying our schools and business but the U.S. and Pakistani army are finshing our lives. To us, the Taliban's crimes are less as they are the products of US policies toward Pakistan.

Sam Ilahi - Lahore, Pakistan
Pakistan is going through some very dark times. I agree with your reporter that many in Pakistan are not laying the blame on the shoulders of the Taliban. Najam and Jugnu are bold, they face these threats head on. But there are so many other journalists here who are fanning the flames of violence. They are making it seem as if it is the government's fault that the Taliban are attacking civilian targets. In an illiterate country, television plays a critical role and unfortunately, our media is not bearing the responsibility that it should. I wish your reporter and Najam and Jugnu the best...

Vista IE7 blank page pops up, what to do?

I recently purchased a new computer and I keep getting a blank internet explorer page pop up, even when I am not online. It happens every so often and is getting pretty annoying, I've reset internet explorer, deleted cookies and temp. files. I even installed Firefox, thought maybe it was IE7, but it still shows up out of nowhere. Any advice? If this has been resolved for someone else please let me know. Appreciate the help and time. Thanks again.

  birdface 10:15 08 Mar 08

I don't suppose going into tools and turning off the pop-up blocker will help.

but wont turning off pop up blocker allow more pop ups? This thing started to happen only when I got Vista, I can log on with my laptop with XP and no problems. Any other tricks up your sleeve?

  birdface 17:08 10 Mar 08

Only one way to find out try it.If it still does not work switch it back on again.

  ACOLYTE 17:12 10 Mar 08

Im not sure about Vista because i use XP,but it sounds like the messenger popup adds you can get on XP,i dont know if Vista has this or not.

  skidzy 20:18 10 Mar 08

What have you downloaded recently on the Vista machine ?

Check in add and remove programs for any toolbars and remove these.

nothing dowloaded to Vista machine, its been doing it since i got it. We have another desktop running Vista and this one does it as well. The other desktop connects wirelessly to network.

Just wanted to thank all you guys for your help and suggestions, found the culprit. A while back I downloaded incredimail and magentic for my wife. Turns out it was the magentic download that was causing the issue. Uninstalled that sucker and we are golden!!! Thanks again for the help, good to know there are lots of people willing to help out there. Thanks guys! Anyone else has this issue hope this helps you as well. Take care.

  birdface 08:29 11 Mar 08

Well spotted.I have had Incredimail for years but have not downloaded Magnetic.Thanks for the feedback its one to remember.

Hunstanton, Norfolk??

  Brumas 21:16 17 Dec 10

Right coast, wrong county!

  birdface 21:20 17 Dec 10

Going with the shadows it must be on the west coast.
Apart from that I may have gone for Ingodlmells.

  QuizMan 21:22 17 Dec 10

Hunstanton has the uniqueness of being the only sea town on the east coast that faces west.

  OTT_B 21:23 17 Dec 10

Wouldn't get a coast line like that anymore. Erosion would have taken care of any settlements now! No hills there, so am going to head into Suffolk. Lowestoft??

  Brumas 21:23 17 Dec 10

I knew that, I knew that!

  Brumas 21:26 17 Dec 10

Go back north young man! I have to say it is in Lincolnshire and good old Buteman was under 20 miles out!

  OTT_B 21:27 17 Dec 10

Surely not Skeggy???

  QuizMan 21:29 17 Dec 10

You should come to one of my quizzes. I have used that as a question before now.

Apple iPhone

A web site which "jailbreaks" iPhones, iPads and iPod Touches does so by means of a PDF-based vulnerability in OS X, according to The H Online.

PDF parsing and rendering is a core feature of OS X and there have been several other vulnerabilities in the past in iOS CoreGraphics PDF components. Exploiting this one appears to grant complete control over the device. F-Secure says that in their testing the jailbreak PDF crashes both the Adobe and Foxit Readers.

The PDF appears not to do anything more than it claims to do, that is to jailbreak the device. But such an exploit could be used for malicious purposes as well. Based on videos of the jailbreak process, it seems possible that an attack could be devised which requires no user action other than visiting a web site, perhaps through an iFrame inserted on it. The attack could rewrite the firmware of the device.

Initial reports said that the vulnerability was in Safari, but this was incorrect.

Belkin's Nostromo n50 - PCstats.com Belkin's Nostromo n50
Sun, March 24 2002 | 10:05PM | PermaLink Feedback?
FIRST-PERSON SHOOTERS HAVE pushed the technology envelope more than any other game genre, yet the vast majority of us still use the same ancient keyboard and mouse combination that's been around since the original DOOM. Over the years, many have tried to improve on this control scheme, but none have really succeeded. Microsoft's creations never caught on, and the SpaceOrb never developed more than a cult following. Even consoles, a relatively new market for the FPS genre, have generated complaints due to their lack of a keyboard and mouse. Someone over at Belkin must be tired of his keyboard, because they've introduced the Nostromo n50 Speedpad: a controller that almost defies explanation. Borrowing elements from game pads, joysticks, and the tried-and-true keyboard, the Speedpad is unlike any other game controller on the market. To complement the n50 Speedpad, Belkin's also introduced the n30 Gaming Mouse. Though not nearly as radical as the Speedpad, the n30 has a few notable features that differentiate it from the rest of the digital rodents on the market. Has Belkin created the ultimate game controller combo with the n30 and n50? Read on to find out.

Toshiba Gigabeat F40 40GB Digital Audio Player Review - PCstats.com Toshiba Gigabeat F40 40GB Digital Audio Player Review
Sun, April 23 2006 | 8:37PM | PermaLink Feedback?
“Toshiba Gigabeat players are highly popular in Japan but have just recently been more readily available here in the US and have gain the interest of many audiophiles, thanks to their aggressive pricing and feature set. I've taken a look at a variety of MP3 players over the past years, some of which were truly impressive in terms of either design or feature set. For those, like me, who prefer a suitable Ipod alternative, the Gigabeat models from Toshiba are well-designed DAP players with much to offer and worthy of consideration. Today I'll take a thorough look at their 40GB model, the Gigabeat F40S.”

MSI discusses plans for Computex 2008 - PCstats.com MSI discusses plans for Computex 2008
Thu, May 29 2008 | 3:38PM | PermaLink Feedback?
Micro-Star International (MSI) company chairman Joseph Hsu recently discussed the products the company will be showcasing at Computex 2008, including motherboards and low-cost PCs. MSI revealed that on June 3 it will be announcing a slate of new motherboards using its DrMOS overclocking and power saving platform. Some channel vendors stated that MSI will be launching six motherboards based on Intel's upcoming P45 chipset, including two entry-level ones priced at around US$70-80, while the other four will adopt DrMOS and will be priced above US$100. DrMOS technology can reduce power usage by around 16% on the new motherboards compared to ones of the previous generation, according to MSI. MSI will also launch an Windows XP version of its 10-inch Wind notebook in three different colors, including black, white and pink and will feature two different battery configurations. A six-cell pack will allow the notebook to run for six hours, but the price of the notebook will be around NT$18,900 (US$620), while a notebook with a three-cell battery will be priced around NT$17,900, noted Hsu. The company will launch a 8.9-inch Wind notebook in July or August and will try to maintain the gross margin of the product line at around 10-15%. MSI will also launch its Wind PC to compete with Asustek's Eee Box. The Wind PC will be priced at US$250 without an LCD monitor. Hsu pointed out that MSI's motherboard line will account for 35% of the company's revenues in 2008, while graphics cards will account for 25% and notebooks, including the Wind notebook, will account for 30%. Consumer electronics, servers, industrial PCs (IPCs) and car electronics will account for the remaining 10%.

Report on Biometrics Raises Hard Questions

A lengthy review of the general state of biometrics raises questions about the reliability, accuracy and scalability of these technologies, as well as whether they have the public's trust.

The 183-page report, "Biometric Recognition: Challenges and Opportunities," is the culmination of a multi-year study done by a committee under the National Research Council (NRC), which receives federal funding and issues reports to advise government on scientific and technical matters. This NRC biometrics committee, chaired by HP Labs distinguished scientist Joseph Pato, with its membership drawn from industry, academia and the analyst community, late last week published a withering critique of biometrics that is getting slammed by some in the industry.

Graphic: Diego Aguirre
"Biometrics recognition has been applied to identification of criminals, patient tracking and medical informatics, and the personalization of social services, among other things," the NRC report states. "In spite of substantial effort, however, there remain unresolved questions about the effectiveness and management of systems for biometric recognition and societal impact of their use."

The NRC report is drawing fire from some.

"The report is out of date and misleading at best," says Michael DePasquale, CEO of BIO-key International. "The fact that it relies on data gathered over five years ago does a disservice to the industry, and to those individuals who have been pushing technological advancements since 2004. Over the last six years, the technology has made significant contributions to not only our national security, but also to protecting access to a wide variety of commercial applications including smartphones, laptops, offices, homes, commercial networks, point-of-sale terminals and medical storage cabinets."

Depasquale says the authors of the report are making criticisms that might have been raised in 2005 but don't properly characterize the progress the biometric industry has made since then.

In addition to HP's Pato, the "Whither Biometrics" Committee, as it's called, has 13 members, including representatives from Walt Disney World Company, San Jose State University, Carnegie-Mellon University, Georgetown University Law Center, Cleveland Clinic, IBM Almaden Research Center, and MIT. Gartner analyst Bob Blakeley is also a committee member.

The report, which can be downloaded for free, notes biometrics systems are "complex and need to be addressed as such," and also that "biometrics recognition is an inherently probabilistic endeavor. The automated recognition of individuals offered by biometric systems must be tempered by an awareness of the uncertainty associated with the recognition."

In other words, biometrics systems in use can make mistakes, either missing a match completely or tagging a wrong match.The NRC report says there needs to be much more science applied to how traits are measured, and understanding how "an imposter will attack the system."

"Major gaps exists in our understanding of the nature and extent of distinctiveness and stability of biometric traits across individuals and groups," the report states, noting that "no biometric characteristic is known to be extremely stable and distinctive across all groups."

In its skepticism about how well biometric systems perform, the report says, "A biometric match represents not certain recognition but a probability of correct recognition, while a non-match represents a probability, rather than definite conclusion that an individual is not known to the system."

The NRC report also notes, "It is generally not possible to replace a biometric that has been compromised. This is complicated by the fact that the same biometric trait can be used by different systems, and weaknesses in one system could lead to the compromise of the biometric trait for use in another system. Furthermore, such traits are not secret - we expose them in the course of everyday life. … It is accordingly, essential to validate that a trait presented to gain recognition truly belongs to the subject and is not being synthesized by an imposter."

In addition to expressing doubts about the efficacy of biometric systems, the NRC report also questions whether society as a whole accepts them.

"Many fear misuse of identification technology by authorities (from data compromise, mission creep, or even use of a biometric for other than specified purposes). To be effective, biometrics deployments need to take these fears seriously."

The report also states that while "biometrics systems perform well in many existing applications," the capabilities and limitations "are not yet well understood in very large-scale applications involving tens of millions of users."

Microsemi Denies Existence of Backdoor in Its Chips, Researchers Disagree

Semiconductor company Microsemi has issued a statement denying that one of its products, a popular silicon chip called ProASIC3, has a backdoor built into it.

The ProASIC3 field-programmable gate array (FPGA) -- a chip designed to be configured and programmed by customers according to their needs -- has no designed feature that would enable circumvention of the user security, Microsemi said Thursday in a message on its website.

ProASIC3 chips are integrated into systems used in many industries, including the military, for various applications. The chip is marketed by Microsemi as having one of the highest levels of design security on the market.

University of Cambridge Ph.D. candidate Sergei Skorobogatov and Christopher Woods, a hardware security researcher at U.K.-based research company Quo Vadis Labs (QVL), claimed that they discovered an undocumented function in the ProASIC3 FPGA that can be used by an attacker with physical access to the chip to extract the intellectual property (IP) stored on it, despite such information being encrypted with a user-defined 128-bit AES key.

Skorobogatov and Woods were planning to release in September at the Cryptographic Hardware and Embedded System workshop a research paper that explains how they found the backdoor. However, a draft version of their paper leaked online and was used as a source for news stories earlier this week.

In the draft version, the researchers explain that they used a technique called Pipeline Emission Analysis (PEA), patented by QVL, to significantly increase the efficiency of differential power analysis (DPA) methods.

DPA attacks can be used to extract cryptographic keys from hardware devices by analyzing fluctuations in their power consumption during normal operation. However, traditional DPA methods are not very accurate and usually require a lot of time and expensive equipment to use successfully.

Using the new PEA technique, the AES key can be extracted from ProASCI3 chips in seconds instead of hours, and a separate user-defined passcode that protects their configuration settings can be extracted in hours instead of years, the researchers said.

In addition to successfully extracting the chip's keys, the researchers claim to have also identified a function in the device's memory that can be used to unlock and reprogram virtually any information from the chip.

Access to this function was protected with a third key, which was successfully extracted in about a day by using the PEA technique, the researchers said.

The function discovered by the researchers is a privileged internal test facility reserved for initial factory testing and failure analysis, but it is disabled in all shipped devices, Microsemi said on Thursday.

Furthermore, the function can only be accessed on a customer-programmed device only if that customer's passcode is also supplied, the company said.

"Customers have an option to program their chosen passcode to increase the security; however, Actel/Microsemi does not tell its customers that a special fuse must be programmed in order to get the backdoor protected with both the passcode and backdoor keys," the researchers said in a statement on Friday.

Also, even if a customer passcode is used to protect the backdoor function, that passcode can be recovered in hours with the PEA technique, the researchers said.

Microsemi could not confirm if the key extraction attack described by the two researchers is possible, because it didn't have access to the technology and hardware setup they claim to have used, the company said.

In response, the researchers pointed out that the PEA technique is described in QVL's patent and is, therefore, publicly available.

Microsemi advises customers who are concerned about DPA-type attacks to program their devices with the highest security setting. "This security setting will disable the use of any type of passcode to gain access to all device configurations, including the internal test facility."

However, the researchers claim that this is achieved through a mechanism called Permanent Lock, which is vulnerable to fault attacks and can also be disabled by an attacker.

Next week, I'll be facilitating a short one-hour workshop on a topic that is deceptively simple on a computer, but can be complex on an iPad--how to get student work off an iPad in a place where the teacher can get to it in ONE place.

7 Ways to Collect Student Work in an #iPad Classroom #staar

This short blog entry tries to offer some solutions. Let me know what you think, ok? Many apps--here's a short list--will output to WebDav, video or image format that ends up in your Camera Roll. Others will go to YouTube, cloud storage, and allow email sharing. Which solution works best? For schools deploying iPads in carts, some options are outlined below: WebDav Server - This is the best option because you can show students how to put/get their content in a central location.

When considering HOW to get information off your iPad, you need to remember the following: Terms of Service for various solutions may prevent K-7 (ages 5-12) students from using online, or cloud, storage solution. This list below is no particular order of preference.

Visuals for Foreign Language Instruction  1 to 20  of  467 hits. More Spanish. More than six ways of using technology in language teaching. This week, the discussion question over on the iTDi blog is I’ll be honest … I sort of expected that all of the posts (except for my own) would gush about the wonders of technology in teaching.

I know that’s a dreadful generalization, but almost all of this week’s authors are digital natives, and quite tech savvy. This generalization sounds worse and worse, doesn’t it, especially when I that the whole digital native and immigrant distinction is rarely worth the space used to describe it. But sometimes, in online networks, saying anything cautionary about using technology in teaching seens about as popular as saying anything favorable about coursebooks These posts were a treat, and a thorough demolishing of my silly generalizations.

It’s not that any of the teachers were against technology — they all use it to some extent — but they were all so balanced. Sometimes I talk about challenges of trying to use technology tools in classrooms without Internet access or computers.

RSM John Lord

RSM Lord at Stalag XIB

RSM Lord shortly after the liberation of Stalag XIB

RSM John Lord

RSM John Lord

Regimental Sergeant Major John Clifford Lord

Unit : Headquarters, 3rd Parachute Battalion

Army No. : 2613527

Awards : Member of the British Empire

John Lord was born on the 26th April 1908 in Southport, Lancashire. He was enlisted into the 3rd Grenadier Guards on the 27th March 1933, then posted to Egypt on 14th November 1933, where he remained until 8th April 1936. He left the British Army on the 26th March 1937, and two days later joined the Brighton Police Force. He served with them until the 3rd December 1939, rejoining the Grenadier Guards on the following day.

Lord qualified as a parachutist on the 30th November 1941 and was posted, as Regimental Sergeant Major, to the newly formed 3rd Parachute Battalion. With them he participated in the operations in North Africa, Sicily and Italy.

At Arnhem, shortly after Major-General Urquhart found himself cut-off with the 3rd Battalion on Sunday 17th September, RSM Lord appointed himself as the General's bodyguard. Urquhart later wrote: "As I came out into the road, I found myself accompanied by a massive shape which turned out to be the 3rd Battalion's RSM, a six feet two inches Grenadier named Lord. 'From now on, sir,' he informed me, 'I'm your bodyguard.' Not even Generals like to admit that they need protection, and I gave some nonchalant response; nevertheless I found his presence rather reassuring."

On the following day, RSM Lord was still with Urquhart and "B" Company when they were trapped in Arnhem. As they waited for the cover of darkness before moving on, a party of Germans, unaware of the close proximity of the British, placed themselves in perfect view of their position. Several of the soldiers were keen to open fire on them, but Major Bush ordered them not to. RSM Lord was present and was in complete agreement with him; it would have been folly to begin an unnecessary skirmish and risk serious retaliation when the General and Brigadier Lathbury were in the same building.

RSM Lord was captured on Thursday 21st September. He was taken, along with a great number of other Arnhem survivors, to Stalag XIB at Fallingbostel. The camp was in a desperate condition at the time, but RSM Lord immediately took over its administration and worked ceaselessly to improve it until liberation on the 27th April 1945. In honour of this, and his excellent service throughout the War, RSM Lord was made a Member of the British Empire:

RSM Lord joined the 3rd Battalion The Parachute Regiment as RSM on its first formation in September 1941, and held this appointment until he was wounded and captured at Arnhem in September 1944. During this period he has earned himself a great reputation in his Battalion and in the 1st Parachute Brigade. At the beginning it was largely due to this Warrant Officer's drive and character that men from over fifty different Regiments were soon welded into a first class Battalion with a fine Esprit de Corps. RSM Lord served with distinction throughout the North African campaign in the winter of 1942/1943 and his gallantry in action was always an example to the Battalion. During a difficult period which followed, caused by certain changes in command, it was largely due to this Warrant Officer's unswerving loyalty and devotion to duty that the Battalion was unaffected. Later, he fought with gallantry in Sicily and at Arnhem, where he was wounded and taken prisoner. Ultimately he was sent to Stalag XIB where he soon showed himself to be the outstanding personality of the Camp and where he did fine work in maintaining a high state of morale amongst the prisoners. Officers and men arriving at the Camp were astonished by the excellent bearing and turnout of the prisoners. RSM Lord has served under my command almost continuously since the formation of the 1st Parachute Brigade, and during this time, he has shown a standard of loyalty, drive and devotion to duty which it would be hard to equal.

John Lord became Regimental Sergeant Major to the New College Royal Military Academy Sandhurst in September 1947, becoming RSM at the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst in September 1948. He retired on the 1st September 1963, after 15 years as the R.S.M. of Sandhurst. He died on the 21st January 1968 at Camberley, Surrey.

The following obituary appeared in a newspaper:

'The Voice' of Sandhurst died at 59

FORMER RSM JOHN CLIFFORD LORD, who as Academy Sergeant-Major at the Royal Military Academy, Sandhurst, trained King Hussein of Jordan, the Duke of Kent and many other officer cadets, died at Camberley, Surrey yesterday. He was 59.

King Hussein was one of a procession of men who, in "This is your life" on BBC television in 1959, paid tribute to R.S.M. Lord, subject of the programme.

Standing neatly to attention beside Mr. Lord, he referred to his time at Sandhurst and said: "I think I will remember those days to the end of my life, and I will remember R.S.M. Lord, for if anyone influenced us I think he had a great deal to do with it."

During a rehearsal for the passing-out parade in 1963 R.S.M. Lord was ordered to report to the saluting base. Then a Senior Under-Officer stepped forward and handed him a clock, bought by the officer cadets to mark his retirement. "The Voice" said quietly "Gentlemen, thank you" and marched back.

Mr Lord, a Grenadier and a warrant officer for 22 years, was given a newly created civilian post, sports supervisor, at the Academy.

Born at Southport, Lancs. and at one time a Brighton policeman, he dropped with the Airborne Forces at Arnhem, was captured and taken to Stalag XIB. How he maintained the traditions of the Guards in the prison camp was told in 1945. He defeated chaos, misery and boredom and restored a smoothly running organisation, strict discipline and the exacting Guards' standard.

When a party of officers paid the camp its first visit on the day of liberation they found a guard which was faultlessly turned out and which "could have gone on duty at Buckingham Palace and done credit to its corps."

Then a majestic figure appeared, the R.S.M. himself. Gleaming brass, immaculate webbing, razor-edge trouser creases, dazzling boots, a spectacular salute.

Daily inspections and guard mounting, most unpopular when introduced, had restored a great measure of the prisoners' waning self-respect and revived their military bearing.

All who could stand had to parade for P.T. This drastic effort of R.S.M. Lord to build up sinking reserves of strength must have saved the health of hundreds and perhaps the lives of some, it was stated at the time.

In 1963 Mr. Lord was appointed MVO (5th Class).

He leaves a widow, a daughter, Tania, 24, married to an Army sergeant, a son, Richard, 21, and a daughter, Jane, 20, who are both in the Army and serving in Germany.

RAMSEY, Minn. (AP) — Police stopped a stolen minivan in a Twin Cities suburb and found a driver who claimed she was in labor and some of her seven children with their mouths taped shut.

An officer stopped the vehicle in Ramsey, Minnesota, just after midnight Tuesday for a traffic violation and learned it had been stolen. The driver was taken to a hospital.

Ramsey Police Chief Jeff Katers said Thursday children range in age from infancy to 9 years old.

Katers says two men were in the van, including the children's father, who was arrested for failing to return the rental vehicle in Missouri. The other man was released.

Katers says the children were playing with the packing tape and fell asleep. He says it's not clear who put tape on their mouths.

View Full Version : Last Three RPG Items Purchased (continued)

11-01-2006, 11:02 PM
Continuing the thread from "Campaign Hatchery Import", I'd like to brag about a bunch of stuff that just arrived recently:

The PDF of Spirit of the Century (http://www.evilhat.com/?spirit), a Pulp-era game using the as yet unreleased Fate 3.0 system. (I think their plan is to hone Fate 3.0 with this book and The Dresden Files before releasing it as a stand-alone sytem.) I'm a big admirer of Fate 2.x, and this one alters the Aspect mechanics to make them general Fate Point regulators ... including treating special effects from combat as Aspects. The hardcopy version should ship next week.

Mythic Russia (http://www.firebird-productions.com/), a game based on Russian folklore and history. It uses Issaries's HeroQuest system, and since I'm not keen on Glorantha maybe I'll run this at some point (assuming I find victims, er players).

"Crypt of the Devil-Lich" (http://www.goodman-games.com/5012preview.php), apparently an homage to "Tomb of Horrors", only with a half-devil drow lich queen. Fun.

That's the highlights, anyway.

I'm going to taper off my game buying for a while, due to a glut of unread books and changing financial circumstances. However, if anyone has some really cool items they'd like to plug, I'd probably reconsider ...

11-02-2006, 12:02 AM
I most recently bought some Morrigan Press stuff:

Atlantis: the Second Age - I bought the PDF a bit back but waiting on the actual book to get here. This is based on the older Bard Games Atlantis Trilogy. Good Stuff! IMO, this can be used with *anything*, which is why my old BG versions are in pretty bad shape. :)

Terran Trade Authority (TTA) RPG - (PDF) Good 70s-feel flashback gaming. (At least in setting and art.)

Spacecraft 2100 to 2200 AD - (PDF) One of the sourcebooks TTA was based off of.

On a bit of a game-buying binge, and bought these recently for Vampire: The Requiem:

Lancea Sanctum - V:tR Covenant book
Carthians - V:tR Covenant book
Bloodlines: The Hidden - Presents some very interesting V:tR Bloodline options.

In the end I'm not sure what to think about the new V:tR/WoD setting. I miss some of the old WoD setting but definately prefer the nWoD base ruleset that everything's built on. Also not sure what I think of nMage having an Atlantis-type background, but it sure could work with the Morrigan A:tSA book. :)

11-29-2006, 07:10 PM
SOTC is awesome, I just had a buddy come in and visit from Ohio and we gave the game a test drive with our old group. I must say I'm very impressed and am waiting with baited breath for Dresden... I so want to see how they do the stunts for wizards.:eek:

02-02-2007, 04:35 AM
I recently bought:

Dwarven Forge Rivers and Walls Set
Lankhmar (new Runequest version)
Mayfair's Demons Box Set (found at Half Price Books in amazing condition)
Pulp Hero (for 5th edition Hero)

I realize that is four items, not three. So sue me.

Also in general, I would like to say that 2006 was a pretty damn amazing year for RPG releases. The industry as a whole may be having financial trouble, but the quality of product has been great.

After all this year gave us:
Spirit of the Century
The Great Pendragon Campaign
Tatters of the King
Red Hand of Doom (best WotC adventure in forever)
The Savage Tide Adventure Path began in Dungeon magazine
Runequest (a new edition at last!)
Zorcerer of Zo
A Magical Medieval Society: Silk Road

Here's a toast to you, 2006. May 2007 be at least as good. It's started well. I just got my first PDF from the War of the Burning Sky ... so far so good...

LETTER: Community cash was on its way

Have your say

May I update readers of the facts on comments from two writers from your letters’ page and add my concerns on another.

Writer M. Mobey mentions the councillors of Burnley Wood are starving the community group of ward opportunities funding when, in fact, both myself and Coun. Kennedy do support it and did, in fact, sign off the funding request in May only for the new Labour councillor for the ward, Coun. Campbell, to decline it.

Writer Barry Joyce in his letter also mentions Coun. Campbell’s refusal to support the community group in Burnley Wood with funding, but he misses out the fact that Coun. Campbell also refuses to support the Rosehill (where he lives) residents’ group with financial funding from the ward opportunities funds as well.

Again the Rosehill request was supported and signed off by myself and Coun. Kennedy in May, without this financial support these much-needed groups could be lost, never to return.

With regards to the letter from ex-Labour councillor Peter Kenyon, he needs to concentrate on things nearer to home before he has a go at any person/s or groups from other areas of town.

He himself owns unsightly boarded-up shops in Burnley Wood which are blighting the area. He’s been in possession of these boarded-up shops and just sat on them since 2004, just before the regeneration started in Burnley Wood. This issue has been reported and commented on previously in your paper’s letters page and people’s opinions and perceptions are that he needs to show some commitment to his own area and sort out his own properties before getting involved with other people’s problems from other areas of the borough.

No doubt Mr Kenyon will write back having a go at me and trying to defend his actions, but sorry Mr Kenyon it just doesn’t wash with the residents from Burnley Wood.

Something like:

WS_FTP Verssion 9 Basics

This is a tutorial that will teach you everything you need to know about the WS_FTP client with regards to transferring CGI files. It's a basic "How to" for file transfer and successful CGI/Perl script installation.

  1. Launching the client.
  2. Connecting to the server.
  3. Changing directories.
  4. Creating ("Making") directories.
  5. Transfering files.
  6. How to CHMOD files.
  7. Finding the absolute-path.
Launching the client.
When you install the WS_FTP client on your computer (after you have downloaded it) you will be asked if you want to add a shortcut to the start meny. Choose yes. I put mine in my accessories folder along with all my other business related shortcuts to programs. That way I never have to hunt around for it. To launch your FTP, simply click the shortcut with your mouse like any other program.

Connecting to the server.
Once you have launched your FTP client, the user interface will appear on your screen as well as a connection interace called "Session Properties":

You have to do three things to connect to your server from this screen:
  1. In the "HostName/Address" field, enter the FTP address of your server. It will almost always be ftp.your-domain.com as opposed to www.your-domain.com. If you are logging into an IP address, then you will simply fill in the IP address with nothing in front of it.
  2. Next you must enter your User ID and Password. These will have been given to you by your ISP or Server Administrator. If you are accessing persoanl web space that comes with your ISP connection account, then the User ID and Password will usually be that same ones that you dial in with.
  3. Lastly, press the OK button and the connection process will begin. There will be only two results, success or failure. If you fail to connect, you must try again on your own. If you are FTPing at peak times then you may have to try to connect a number of time before you get in.

Once you are logged in, you will be looking at your user interface for the program:

Changing directories.
Changing directories is even easier than in Windows! Just like in your windows or similar operating systems interface, to change directories you simply double click on the the folder/folders to move deeper into a directory/directories. If you want to move up in a directory tree then you just click on the green arrow that shows at the top of both the local and remote windows.

If you start doing a lot of programming, your going to start remembering a lot of absolute paths. Yes, you will start remembering them. In this case, particularly if the Net is busy and the FTP client is a little slow, it's quicker simply to use the Change Directory function to get where you want to go. (It's quicker on the Remote System[Server] window but slower on the Local System[Your Computer] window). To do this, simply click on the "ChgDir" button. You will then be presented with the "Change Directory" dialogue box. Simply type in the absolute-path to the directory you want to be in or select the absolute-path from the drop-down list and then press "OK".

Creating ("Making") directories.
Creating diretories is extremley easy with WS_FTP. On your main user interface, next to the Remote System window, click the "MkDir" button. You will be presented with this dialogue box:

Simply type the name of the new directory/folder in the space provided and press the "OK" button. The FTP client will tell the server to create the directory.

Transfering files.
Transfering files is easily accomplished one of two ways. The first way is a two step procedure. First examine the following screen shot and then there will be step by step instructions following it.

For all transfers you must select either ASCII or Binary mode for the transfer. You can see the Radio buttons for these two choices right below the Remote and Local System windows.

First Method
The first method works for both single file transfers and multiple file transfers.

  1. Highlite the file or multiple files, in the Local System window, that you wish to transfer. Note that if you are transfering multiple files they will have to be either all images or all text/data files.

  2. Once they are all highlit, simply press the button in the middle of the client that has the "-->" symbol on it. This will transfer the file/files in the mode you selected.

Second Method
The second method of transfering is very easy but will only transfer one file at a time. Simply pick the file you want to transfer in the Local System window and double click on it. This will transfer it right away.

Instructions for transfering files are identical for Local to Remote or for Remote to Local transfers.

How to CHMOD files.
CHMODing files is very easy with WS_FTP. You can CHMOD either directories/folders or files. The process is identical for each.

  1. First, on your user interface, in the Remote System window, left click once on a file to highlite it.

  2. Once youhave hightlit the directory/file you want to CHMOD, right click on it.

  3. From the pop up menu, choose the "chmod(UNIX)" option and click on it.
  4. You will now be looking at the "Remote File Permissions" dialogue box.

    On this box you will set the CheckBoxes (the above sample is set to 755) to the follwing combinations for the follwing CHMOD's:
    Owner Group Other CHMOD Value
    R-W-X R-X R-X 755
    R-W-X R R 744
    R-W-X R-W R-W 766
    R-W-X R-W-X R-W-X 777

  5. After you have set all the check boxes appropriately, you then just have to press the "OK" button and your all done!

Remeber: if you change the CHMOD of a file, you have to make sure that the directory and all parent directories up to Root level are CHMODed as well!

Finding the absolute-path.
It is very easy to find the absolute path with the WS_FTP client.

  1. First change the diretory to the directory containing the file that you need the absolute path for.

  2. Next, highlite the directory by left clicking on it then right click on it so that you get a pop-up menu. This is the same menu we chose CHMOD from.

    From the bottom of the pop-up menu choose "FTP Commands" and then from the next pop-up menu choose "PWD".

  3. Once you have done that, look at the bottom of the FTP client in the message window and you will see the absolute path printed there for the directory you are currently in.
