Car bomb kills dozens in Syria
- Bomb struck near Baath party HQ
- Syrian state TV calls it a %27terrorist%27 attack
- Number of casualties and wounded in flux
DAMASCUS, Syria (AP) — A car bomb near the Damascus headquarters of Syria's ruling party killed 35 people on Thursday, while a government airstrike on a rebel field hospital in southern Daraa left 18 dead, opposition activists and state media reported.
The Damascus car bomb was one of at least three attacks in the heart of the city. A second blast shook another neighborhood and mortar rounds exploded near the Syrian Army General Command.
It was the third day of attacks on the center of Damascus.
For months, rebels have been trying to bring their fight to topple President Bashar Assad into the center of the capital, but have managed little more than brief incursions and frequent skirmishes in outlying neighborhoods.
The latest bombings and the recent mortar attacks suggest they may be shifting to guerrilla tactics to destabilize the seat of Assad's power.
The most deadly attack struck a main street on the edge of the capital's central Mazraa neighborhood, near the headquarters of Assad's Baath party and the Russian Embassy, as well as a mosque, a hospital and a school.
TV footage of the blast site showed firemen dousing a flaming car with hoses and lifeless and dismembered bodies blown into the grass of a nearby park.
Witnesses at the scene said a car had exploded at a security checkpoint between the Russian Embassy and the central headquarters of the ruling party.
"It was huge. Everything in the shop turned upside down," one local resident said. He said three of his employees were injured by flying glass that killed a young girl who was walking by when the blast hit.
"I pulled her inside the shop but she was almost gone. We couldn't save her. She was hit in the stomach and head," he said, speaking on condition of anonymity for fear of retribution for speaking with foreign media.
Ambulances rushed to the scene of the blast, which shattered windows and sent up a huge cloud of smoke visible throughout much of the city, witnesses said.
The Britain-based activist group the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said at least 42 people were killed, most of them civilians. Some members of the Syrian security forces were also killed, it said.
Syrian state TV called it a "terrorist" attack by a suicide bomber. It said at least 35 people were killed and more than 200 wounded. The state news agency published photos of two dead bodies lying in the street.
There was no way to immediately reconcile the differing death tolls.
Russia's state owned RIA Novosti news agency quoted a Russian Embassy official as saying the Embassy building had been damaged in the blast but no one was hurt.
In a separate attack, Syrian state TV said mortar shells exploded near the Syrian Army General Command in central Damascus, causing no casualties. The station said the building was empty because it was under renovation.
The Britain-based activist group Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said two mortar rounds struck near the building but did not report casualties.
On Wednesday, two mortar shells exploded next to a soccer stadium in Damascus, killing one player. The day before, two mortar shells blew up near one of Assad's three palaces in the city, causing only material damage.
Between the car bomb and the mortar attack near the army command, a security official reported another blast in the capital's northeastern Barzeh neighborhood. He had no other information and spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to brief the media.
The Observatory, which relies on a network of anti-regime activists inside Syria, said two car bombs had exploded near security centers in Barzeh, followed by intense clashes between rebels and security forces.
Syrian state media also reported that security forces in Damascus had arrested a second, would-be suicide bomber driving a car full of explosives near the site of the Mazraa bombing.
Damascus has so far mostly avoided the large-scale violence that has destroyed other Syrian cities, though deadly car bombings have targeted government buildings in the capital.
In May 2012, twin car bombs exploded outside a military intelligence building, killing 55 people in the deadliest attack against a regime target in the capital since the uprising began 23 months ago.
And in July, rebels detonated explosives inside a high-level crisis meeting in Damascus that killed four top regime officials, including Assad's brother-in-law and the defense minister.
Following that attack, rebel groups who have established footholds in suburbs of the capital pushed in, clashing with government forces for over a week before being routed and pushed out.
Since then, government jets have heavily bombed rebel-held suburbs and rebels have managed only small incursions on the city's south and east sides.
In Daraa, where Syria's uprising began nearly two years ago, the Observatory said the 18 people killed in the airstrike included eight rebel fighters, three medics, one woman and one young girl.
A video posted online said to be of the event showed the bodies of dead and wounded people being loaded in to the back of trucks and moved to another location. Some were bloody and had bandaged heads, while others were carried out on stretchers.
Syria's conflict began in March 2011 with political protests against the government and has since evolved into a civil war between Assad's regime and hundreds of rebel groups seeking to topple it. The U.N. says some 70,000 people have been killed in the conflict so far.
International diplomacy has failed to slow the fighting.
On Thursday, British Foreign Secretary William Hague said his message to Assad is that "it is time to go."
He said the senseless killing must be brought to an end through a credible political process leading to a transition in Syria.
He also called on Assad to respond to a dialogue offer made recently by Syrian opposition chief Mouaz al-Khatib.
"A political settlement, a political agreement on a transition is the way forward in Syria to bring to an end this terrible and unacceptable loss of life."
Al-Khatib has said he is open to talks with the regime that could pave the way for Assad's departure, but that the Syrian leader must first release tens of thousands of detainees. The government has refused

Electrical Circuit
An interconnection of electrical elements that contains a closed loop is an electrical circuit. The closed loop allows electrons to flow through the electrical elements. We now explain how to analyze simple electrical circuits in terms of voltage, current, and resistance.
Current, Voltage, Resistance
Current describes the quantity of electrons passing through a point in a circuit at a given instant in time. Current is measured in Amperes (Amps, A).
Voltage describes the potential difference in electrical charge between two points in an electrical circuit. Voltage (also known as electric potential) is measured in Volts (V).
Resistance (a special case of Impedance) describes the capacity of a circuit element to resist or impede the flow of electrons in the circuit. Resistance in measured in Ohms.
A common analogy may be used to relate these three quantities to water flow in pipes in place of electrons in wires. Imagine you have two water tanks connected from the bottoms by a pipe (such as the drain of a double sink). If one tank is full of water and the other one nearly empty we know intuitively that the water in the full tank will flow through the pipe into the nearly empty tank.
Current I0 is analogous to the quantity of water flowing through a pipe at a given moment in time.
Ohm's Law
V = IR Ohm's Law states that Voltage = Current x Resistance or V = IR. The equation can be rearranged to find any one of the three quantities given the other two.
Consider the following circuit:
The voltage in the circuit is given (10V from the battery) and the resistance is also given as the 100 ohm resistor is the only resistive element in the circuit. So we can compute the current in the circuit as: I = V/R = 10V / 100 Ohms = 0.1 Amps or 100 milli-Amps.
Button LED Example
The following circuit diagram shows the most basic LED (Light Emitting Diode) circuit:
For a red LED, Vled is often about 1.7V. Diodes are from the family of semiconductors. Unlike a resistors, diodes always have a fixed voltage drop in a circuit. A diode passes current in only one direction, a very useful property for protecting circuits from incorrect current flow. The arrow in the diode symbol points in the direction that current flows, so normally you would place a diode in your circuit with the arrow pointing to a ground. Kirchoff's Current Law implies that the current flowing throught the resistor is the same as the current flowing through the LED. Therefore, once we know the current passing through the resistor in this circuit, we also know the current passing through the LED. The brightness of an LED is proportional to the amount of current passing through it. How would you make the LED shine brighter? less brightly?
Now consider the following circuit which adds a button:
The button simply interrupts or re-connects the flow of current through the circuit lighting or extinguishing the LED in the process.
Calculating Power (P = VI)
Calculating the power dissipated by a circuit element is simple. Often much of this power is converted into heat, so by thinking about the power dissipated by circuit elements, you can make sure that they don't burn up or catch on fire!
Power (in Watts) = Voltage (in Volts) x Current (in Amps) P = V I Combining with Ohm's law we get two other useful forms: P = V*V / R and P = I*I*R Power is a measurement of the amount of work that can be done with the circuit, such as turning a motor or lighting a light bulb. Consider a 100Watt light bulb in your home. We know the voltage applied to the bulb is normally 110V or 220V so we can calculate the current consumed as follows: I = P/V = 100W / 110V = 0.91 Amps or I = P/V = 100W / 220V = 0.45 Amps So you can see why using a 60W light buld is more economical. Your electric company normally charges you for your usage in Killo-Watt Hours (kWh). One kWh is the amount of energy necessary to do 1000 Watts of energy for one hour - in other words to keep 10 100W light bulbs shining for one hour.
Kirchhoff's Voltage Law
In order to be able to analyze more complicated circuits, we need to introduce two more circuit concepts. The first is known as Kirchhoff's Voltage Law. It is usually stated as, "The sum of the voltages around any closed circuit must be zero." An important consequence is that the voltage across each branch in a circuit is the same. This explains why the voltages across the battery and across the resistor in the above circuit are the same.
Here are important consequences of Kirchhoff's Voltage Law. See if you can derive them:
- Voltages sum in series.
- Electrical components placed in series all share the same current.
Kirchhoff's Current Law
Electrical components are connected together by nodes in the total network of elements. Kirchhoff's Current Law states that the sum of the currents entering a node must equal the sum of the currents leaving a node. This law is a consequence of the conservation of charge (electrons) in electrical networks.
Here are some important consequences of Kirchhoff's Current Law. See if you can derive them.:
- Currents sum in parallel.
- The ends of electrical components connected by a wire all share the same voltage.
Series Circuits
Consider this slightly more complicated circuit:
When two resistors are connected in series, their combined resistance is equivalent to the sum of their individual resistances.
We can use Ohm's law to calculate the voltage drop around each of the individual resistors after calculating the voltage drop accross the total resistance.
We can further rationalize the series circuit by going back to our analogy:
Parallel Circuits
When two resistors are placed in parallel in a circuit, their combined resistance is equal to the product of the individual resistances divided by their sum. (Smaller total voltage for parallel in contrast to larger for series).
One again we use ohm's law to calculate the voltage across the resistors (same for both) and the current through each resistor.
Here we use the water analogy again:
Voltage Divider
Pull-up and Pull-down resistors
Often we would like to set a "default voltage" for a circuit. This is done using pull-up and pull down resistors.
Here is an example of a pull-down resistor in a circuit. When the switch is closed, Vout=Vin, but if the switch is open, Vout=Ground.
Here is an example of a pull-up resistor in a circuit. When the switch is not on any lead, Vout is high.
In general, the R values for pull-up and pull-down resistors should be very large, much larger than those in the rest of the circuit, so that the effect of the pull-up or pull-down resistor on the Vout voltage is small if there is any else "down the line" of the circuit.

An astonishing four out of every 1,000 public keys protecting webmail, online banking, and other sensitive online services provide no cryptographic security, a team of mathematicians has found. The research is the latest to reveal limitations in the tech used by more than a million Internet sites to prevent eavesdropping.
The finding, reported in a paper (PDF) submitted to a cryptography conference in August, is based on the analysis of some 7.1 million 1024-bit RSA keys published online. By subjecting what's known as the "modulus" of each public key to an algorithm first postulated more than 2,000 years ago by the Greek mathematician Euclid, the researchers looked for underlying factors that were used more than once. Almost 27,000 of the keys they examined were cryptographically worthless because one of the factors used to generate them was used by at least one other key.
"The fact is, if these numbers had the entropy that they were supposed to have, the probability of even one of these events happening in 7 million public keys would be vanishingly small," James P. Hughes, an independent cryptographer who participated in the research, told Ars. "We thought that was rather startling."
Following the publication of the paper, and reporting for this article, a separate group of researchers announced a similar finding, but they went on to say that only one of the weak public keys they analyzed was signed by a certificate authority trusted by major browsers. The remainder of the keys were used to secure routers and other embedded devices. More about this second report has been added to the end of this article.
With its discovery in the mid-1970s by Ronald Rivest, Adi Shamir, and Leonard Adleman, RSA cryptography revolutionized secure messaging because it was among the first systems that made it possible for the key needed to decode ciphertext to be held only by the person receiving the private message. RSA is one of the public key cryptographic algorithms used to generate SSL certificates, which are used to encrypt visits to particular websites. For the system to work, however, the underlying RSA modulus must be the product of two very large prime numbers that are unique to each key.
The revelation that such a large proportion of public keys were generated with a prime factor shared by one or more other keys means that such keys are trivial to break by anyone who can identify them. What's more, the percentage of keys known to be generated with non-unique factors is likely to grow as more keys are analyzed. The 0.38 percentage rate of faulty keys found when the researchers looked at 7.1 million total keys compares with a 0.26 percent rate in an earlier analysis that considered only 4.7 million RSA moduli. As a result, the true number of keys that could be broken using the technique may be higher than the current research reveals.
A judgment call
The researchers, led by Dutch mathematician Arjen Lenstra of École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne in Switzerland, said they are releasing their findings ahead of August's conference because they want to alert users of public key cryptography to the presence of so many weak moduli. While it took the team three years to complete the study, they believe it will take peers only a matter of weeks to follow their recipe. Their discovery raised concerns about how to responsibly disclose it without making it easy for others to forge tens of thousands of keys.
"The quagmire of vulnerabilities that we waded into makes it infeasible to properly inform everyone involved, though we made a best effort to inform the larger parties and contacted all e-mail addresses recommended (such as firstname.lastname@example.com) or specified in valid affected certificates," they wrote. "Our decision to make our findings public, despite our inability to directly notify everyone involved, was a judgment call."
They compared their findings to revelations from 2008 that hundreds of thousands, possibly millions, of cryptographic keys generated on systems running Debian Linux were so predictable that an attacker could guess them in a matter of hours.
The Electronic Frontier Foundation's SSL Observatory, which queries every IP address on the Internet for underlying public secure sockets layer certificates, supplied some of the data used in the research. Project leaders don't plan to publish that data until they've had more time to contact parties with weak keys.
"We're currently working around the clock to get notifications to all of the parties that are affected by this," said Peter Eckersley, EFF's technology projects director.
The researchers, however, haven't ruled out the possibility that the large body of weak keys are already known, possibly to nation states or other well organized groups.
"The lack of sophistication of our methods and findings make it hard for us to believe that what we have presented is new, in particular to agencies and parties that are known for their curiosity in such matters," they wrote.
Simplistic or not, the exact method for identifying the keys generated with non-unique factors isn't included in the research paper; neither is the list of affected certificates or key holders. Hughes, who is an independent cryptographer in Palo Alto, California, said the team found a computationally efficient way to flag the keys without having to individually compare each one against all the others.
None of the weak keys they uncovered are used by certificate authorities to sign SSL credentials used by website operators to encrypt traffic and prove that their servers are authentic. That's good news. If a so-called "signing key" was weak, all the certificates it signed would also be trivial to forge.
Crypto problems
The research is the latest to show the limitations of cryptographic systems that websites use to secure communications. In September, researchers unveiled an attack that silently decoded encrypted traffic as it passed between SSL-protected websites and a Web browser. Over the past few years, the much more standard way of defeating SSL has been to compromise one of the 600 or so entities authorized to mint certificates that are trusted by Firefox and other standard browsers. Given the success and ease of that method, the techniques laid out in the research paper would likely not be an attacker's first choice of exploitation.
It remains unclear exactly what is causing large clusters of keys to use duplicated factors. Hughes said that when generation is done correctly for a 1024-bit key, it should theoretically require the generation of 2200 certificates before all possible factors are exhausted. Curiously, the problem of duplicate factors also marred 2048-bit keys, even though they should theoretically provide much more entropy. The researchers searched for similarities among the vulnerable keys for clues about what was causing random number generators to fail during the key generator process, but they were unable to make any determination.
"Our only conclusion is that there is not just one cause for all of these problems," Hughes said. "This leads to our conclusion that unless you can totally trust your random number generator, RSA is not a good algorithm to choose."
He said that other formulas such as Diffie-Hellman and DSA aren't as vulnerable because the duplication of a factor makes a key holder vulnerable only to the person who holds the corresponding certificate. "If you have a collision, you only affect one other person. You can hurt them and they can hurt you, but you haven't made it public to everybody and their mother."
Eric Wustrow, a second-year graduate student in the University of Michigan's Electrical Engineering and Computer Science department, told Ars that research he and other colleagues conducted used a different data set but arrived at similar aggregate findings. However, he said all but one weak key encountered were self-signed. This separate group of researchers decided to publish a blog post summarizing the results out of concern internet users may misinterpret some of the reports about the earlier paper.
"As we say in the title don't panic," Wustrow said. "Not everything over SSL is broken."
He added that the finding that most of weak keys they found were used to protect routers and similar gear suggests the underlying cause may stem from vendors.
"Embedded devices have a history of problems in generating entropy for keys," he said. "We're seeing the same embedded devices from the same manufacturer generating the same primes."
Meanwhile, Hughes, one of the co-writers of the original paper, says he remains convinced that the weak keys represent a threat to people using webmail and e-commerce.
"I hate to say it but this does have implications for web-based commerce because people can mount man-in-the-middle attacks," he said. "People know, for instance, there have been man-in-the-middle attacks mounted against websites by foreign countries. Embedded systems matter to e-commerce because they're the infrastructure that goes between you and the site you're trying to go to."

Administration Still Fighting For Assault Weapons Ban, Biden Says
This is ALL THINGS CONSIDERED, from NPR News. I'm Robert Siegel.
I'm Melissa Block. And we continue our series on guns in America with an interview with Vice President Joe Biden. He's been leading the Obama administration's efforts on gun control. Our interview coincides with news that the proposed assault weapons ban is being stripped from a broader gun control bill in the Senate. The Democratic majority leader, Harry Reid, says it doesn't have the votes to pass. It will be voted on, instead, as an amendment, out of fears it would otherwise scuttle the entire bill. I talked with Vice President Biden earlier today, at his residence.
Vice President Biden, welcome to the program.
VICE PRESIDENT JOE BIDEN: It's a delight to be with you.
BLOCK: Let's start with the assault weapons ban.
BIDEN: Yes.
BLOCK: It does appear to be dying in the Senate. Is the White House still pushing to have that passed? Do you assume that it's now not going to happen?
BIDEN: I'm still pushing that it pass. We are still pushing that it pass. The same thing was told to me when the first assault was - ban in '94 was attached to the Biden crime bill; that it couldn't possibly pass. It was declared dead several times. I believe that the vast majority of the American people agree with us; the vast majority of gun owners agree with us; that military-style assault weapons are what - these are weapons of war. They don't belong in the street. And in a recent decision declaring the right of someone to own a weapon in their home for self-protection, Justice Scalia acknowledged that it's - you can constitutionally ban certain types of weapons. And so I haven't given up on this.
BLOCK: You're going to push for it. The majority leader, Harry Reid, says he doesn't even have 40 votes for the assault weapons ban.
BIDEN: Well, look, last time we passed it, we only had seven Republican votes in 1994 and...
BLOCK: But he doesn't have the Democrats.
BIDEN: Well, again, I just - I've never found it makes any sense to support something, and declare there's no possibility of passing. There's a lot happening. Attitudes are changing. And I think the president and I are going to continue to push, and we haven't given up on it.
BLOCK: If you can't get the assault weapons ban through the Senate, does that represent a failure on the administration's part; and on your part, as someone who's really spearheaded this effort?
BIDEN: Well, look, obviously, you and others, informed in the media, will make that judgment. But my experience, having been the only guy that did this once before - along with Dianne Feinstein and others - is that this doesn't necessarily happen in one fell swoop. There's a determination to get a lot - for example, when the - when the assault weapons ban was part of the so-called Biden crime bill that had 100,000 cops in it, first was taken out; then we got it back in. We had the background check bill, the Brady bill in it, and that was - we were able to pull it out and get that passed separately, and then come back and get the rest of this passed.
So I don't - I don't see this as there's an automatic end point; that OK, there's one vote. This is it. It fails. Now, we're - we move on. We are going to continue to push for logical gun safety regulations. Eventually, the will of the people is going to - are going to prevail, and we're going to keep at it.
BLOCK: You said earlier that you think the vast majority of the people agree with your position on this.
BIDEN: Yeah.
BLOCK: The latest numbers I saw, from the Pew poll, show 83 percent support background checks on private gun sales. But if you look at the assault weapons ban, it's much narrower. It's 56 percent, a very slim majority.
BIDEN: That's a pretty good majority. When everybody...
BLOCK: Not the vast majority.
BIDEN: No. But 56 percent of the people. And other polls show it higher. Other polls show it higher. That's the lowest number I've heard. Even a majority - most polls show a majority of NRA members initially came out saying they support it. Now, it's closer. But look, there are multiple pieces of the gun safety initiative we're pushing, and we believe that we will get them now, or we'll get them all eventually.
BLOCK: If it happens that the only thing that comes through the Senate right now is an expanded background-check provision - universal background checks - is that acceptable?
BIDEN: That'd be gigantic.
BLOCK: Yeah?
BIDEN: That'd be gigantic. Let me put this in perspective. When the Brady bill, the Brady legislation passed back in '94, the NRA and a significant portion of the opposition were absolutely opposed to it. They called it registration, and they came up with all these scare tactics about how this was going to be terrible. Guess what? It worked. Two million - they said felons will never go and get a background check to buy a gun - 2 million felons have tried to buy a gun and because of the background check, been denied. And even with that, there is probably a 40 percent loophole that exists in the law.
BLOCK: You're talking about people who buy guns...
BIDEN: People who buys guns through gun shows...
BLOCK: ...through gun shows.
BIDEN: ...and other means that they're not required a background check. Now, at the time, we didn't even - no one anticipated that all of a sudden, these gun shows would proliferate and the fact that it didn't include them. We had to compromise to get it done, to get this passed. And the bottom line is that it works. It makes a big difference. And now, strengthening the background check, when you explain to people - you have a large number of the American people, by most surveys, supporting background checks. And they think they're universal already, most of them. Most Americans think there's already universal background checks. They don't understand why there wouldn't be a background check to purchase a weapon.
BLOCK: Do you think it would be any easier to get a ban on large-capacity magazines through Congress, than it appears to be to get the assault weapons ban through?
BIDEN: Probably. As you know, the original bill in '94 had a separate ban on the size of magazines, and it was in place until 2004. And there's evidence that it actually - it saved lives. It reduced the number of people who were killed. And all you have to - and you don't even have to go back to what it did before. Look now. In Newtown, those 20 beautiful babies and six serious people trying to help them - administrators and teachers - all dead today. The police responded in two and one-half minutes - two and one-half minutes.
This guy had 30-round clips in it. He had to use one clip to break through the door, to shoot the locks on the doors. He went into one room and another room, etc. They were there in two and a half minutes. If that had been only 10 rounds, who knows whether one or two or five or seven of those people would be alive today.
BLOCK: Or he could have just reloaded and - he could have loaded another magazine.
BIDEN: Well, the answer is, that's not true. That's not true because he reloaded with 30-round clips, and that's as far as he got. Just do the math. If he had to reload three times as many times - look what happened to Gabby Gifford. That guy had multiple rounds. As he was trying to reload the second time, he fumbled. That's when they knocked his arm. Had they not knocked his arm, he would - and he was overcome. If it had been 10 rounds the first time around, and the second time he put another 10-round in, there would be - there would be people alive today.
BLOCK: When you look back at the crime bill...
BIDEN: And by the way, if I can add one thing...
BLOCK: Sure.
BIDEN: ...there's no limitation - it in no way violates anyone's constitutional right. What is the downside of saying, you can have clips with only 10 rounds in it? What does that violate - hunting, sportsmanship? If you need more than 10 rounds to hunt - and some argue they hunt with that many rounds - you shouldn't be out there hunting. You can't get the deer in three shots, you shouldn't be hunting. You're an embarrassment.
BLOCK: Gun owners will say, but all of these lines are arbitrary.
BIDEN: Sure, they're arbitrary.
BLOCK: Why 10 rounds? Why not seven? Why not 12?
BIDEN: Why age 16? Why age 18 to vote? Why? Because society has concluded that the capacity to keep yourself from doing damage and/or allowing others to do damage, whether it's behind an automobile - you don't let 9-year-olds drive. Well, that's arbitrary. There are some 9-year-olds who can probably drive better than some 16-year-olds. Putting 10 rounds, limiting it to 10 rounds, makes a difference; makes a difference in terms of how many shots you can get off before someone can intervene.
BLOCK: If you look at the numbers, the vast majority of gun deaths in the country are not from assault rifles, or assault weapons.
BIDEN: That's true.
BLOCK: They're from handguns.
BIDEN: Oh, that's exactly right.
BLOCK: Are you really fixing the main problem?
BIDEN: No, we aren't fixing the problem. But that's like saying, you know, does it make any sense to ban cigarette smoking while you still have global warming going on? Come on. Does that fix the environmental problem? No, but it saves some people's lives. Do you say, well, the fact that we took lead out of gasoline, does that solve the problem? No, it doesn't. We still have too many emissions going into the air. But it helps. I find that a bizarre argument - if it doesn't solve the whole problem.
But guess what? The fact is that it does impact. It does. And the people I go to, to look to when we talk about assault weapons and magazines - talk to the police officers. They're tired of being outgunned. They're tired of being outgunned.
BLOCK: Well, when you say it does save people's lives, there has to be some sort of calculus here, right? There has to be...
BIDEN: That's right.
BLOCK: ...some point at which you say, is the number of lives that we save, does that outweigh the burden - the restrictions that we've put on millions of Americans? Or how do you draw that conclusion?
BIDEN: The burden is de minimis. Tell me what the burden is that you have to buy three clips with 10 rounds, versus one clip with 30? The cost is the same. What's the burden? What am I doing to infringe upon your constitutional right? I find that - I mean, what burden? I can name - you could think of a thousand burdens we put on people that, in fact, are de minimis; that impact positively on society. And we say - I mean, it's one thing if you can tell me that the burden is onerous.
First of all, the vast majority of gun owners aren't running around with clips that hold 30 rounds. We're talking about - and there's no good data; here's part of the problem. Part of the problem is when the authorization had to be renewed for much of this in 2004, restrictions were placed on the ability of the government even to keep data.
BLOCK: Why not - what's the problem with having a gun registry; a national, mandatory gun registry? We license our cars; why shouldn't we have to license and register our guns?
BIDEN: Because there is a - this, where you start to cross a cultural line. The idea that you register your guns, it makes - it may make logical sense to say this makes - that - but there isn't a constitutional right to own an automobile. There is a Second Amendment, constitutional right to own a weapon; the right to have and bear arms. When you go to registration, it raises all the black-helicopter crowd notion that what this is all about is identifying who has a gun so that one day, the government can get up and go to the house and arrest everyone who has a gun. And they'll cite Nazi Germany and all that.
You don't need to register guns to have logical gun safety laws. There is a healthy gun culture in this country, with regard to hunters. They husband their guns and their weapons. They lock them up. They use them responsibly. They pass them down to their children - like my dad. This is about keeping guns out of the hands of people who constitutionally, the government is able to prohibit from owning those guns.
BLOCK: Mr. Vice President, thank you for your time.
BIDEN: Thank you.
BLOCK: That's Vice President Joe Biden, speaking with me at his residence here in Washington. Tomorrow on the program, we continue our series on guns in America. I'll try my hand at a shooting range; and we'll have a conversation between a group of people who own and love guns, and some who don't. That's coming up tomorrow on ALL THINGS CONSIDERED.

Conversion of aquaporin 6 from an anion channel to a water-selective channel by a single amino acid substitution
(National Academy of Sciences, 2005-02-08)
Aquaporin (AQP) 6 belongs to the aquaporin water channel family. Unlike other aquaporins, AQP6 functions not as a water channel but as an anion-selective channel. Single-channel analyses have shown AQP6 to flicker rapidly ...

No longer up to squeezing the oranges
Originally published May 20, 2007 (time factor can be worked around)
We don't work as The Waltons.
And by we, I mean my family - four of us, two of whom are younger than age 3.
Our dishwasher caught fire a week ago Saturday. As I write this column, we've been without a dishwasher for seven days.
I'm not sure which looks worse, me or the dishes.
I have dark circles under my eyes, and most of our dishes are dirty and piled next to the sink. Neither is very appealing.
Let me explain. Along with the normal challenges of raising a toddler and a newborn, last week three of our family's four members were sick. My wife holds me responsible for bringing the plague into the home because I was the first to go down with the affliction. My symptoms were sore throat, head congestion and lethargy. Our oldest son added high fever when he took his turn with the crud, and my wife, the artist, colored her canvass with a new stroke, a sinus infection.
With all this infirmity, there hasn't been a lot of general maintenance going on around the house. It's been an atmosphere of fend-for-yourself laundry and enter the bathroom at your own risk.
Even at that, the kitchen is still my problem. My wife and I divvy up the household chores. I get the kitchen and the bathrooms duties, and she does laundry and everything else.
So if there's dereliction of duty in the kitchen, I'm the derelict. And having my best helper, the dishwasher, go belly up sufficiently decreased my capacity to not be a derelict.
I've leaned on a dishwasher for at least the past nine years, but I'm old enough to remember when dishwashers were rare.
My mother felt guilty about getting our first dishwasher. It was a luxury she didn't think she deserved. Yet when we remodeled the kitchen in the 1970s (lots of avocado), we added a dishwasher. Mom got used to it, as did many moms and wives of the era.
In "The Fifties," a book written by the late David Halberstam, women had to work past guilt to allow themselves kitchen and laundry appliances as technology made them available. Halberstam pointed out how an early McDonald's advertising slogan was "You deserve a break today, so get up and get away, to McDonald's." The ad campaign sought to draw families in by letting women off the home cooking hook. It worked pretty well.
Now we deserve nearly everything. We deserve to be able to heat our leftovers in a minute or two instead of a half an hour. And we deserved better than to drag those rotary phone dials counterclockwise for each number, so we got push-button.
We're spoiled. One need not look further than orange juice for evidence. Consider the evolution. First people had to squeeze oranges into a pitcher and add water. Too much work. Then came frozen concentrate, where we had only to add water and stir. Still too much work. Then orange juice was provided, ready to drink, in a carton. No other steps required. Still, opening the carton was too much work. Now we have little screw-top lids to avoid the toil of the carton. Soon, they'll pour it down our throats.
But I digress, and precisely in the middle of a good whine. The dishwasher left me in the middle of our plague.
We immediately went out and bought paper plates and cups. My wife and I try to avoid paper plates because it seems wasteful when we have dishes that can be reused. And while we feel good about making this environmental stand, we could not hold out in the face of a dishwasher on the blink. Paper it was; our resolve melted away like a bread sack next to the oven.
Imagine our forefathers, or more likely foremothers, who had to hike off to the creek or the well and haul water back in buckets and then wash dishes. They certainly deserved a break. But since those pioneers are not around, I guess we should accept the break on their behalf.
Our new dishwasher was delivered Saturday. And, deserving a break, I left the dirty dishes in a pile until it was hooked up. No one's gonna' call me John Boy.

Pirates of the Caribbean 3 movie review
I liked Pirates 3 (At World's End). Not as thrilling as the first (which I saw three times) and not as bad as the second (which I found difficult to sit through…thank god for those cushioned seats!).
I probably enjoyed Pirates number 3 because (it hasn't got all that many good reviews) I tried hard not to compare it to the first one. If I had, it would have not lived up to my expectations. Another reason I liked it was that Johnny Depp (can't help it, he is my favorite actor) was good and he was funny. He saved the movie from deteriorating into a confusing saga of convoluted sub-plots. However, I got to admit that Depp is getting repetitive in his role of the pirate Jack Sparrow. There's nothing new at all, and the freshness is gone. I don't think I'll be able to enjoy Pirates 4- if there is one.
The movie begins with Will Turner (Orlando Bloom) and Elizabeth Swan (Keira Knightley) rescuing Captain Jack Sparrow (Johnny Depp) from Davy Jones' Locker, a mysterious hell where one can go mad, which Sparrow almost does. But as he already slightly mad, one doesn't take his bizarre behavior (he sees many avatars of himself) too seriously. From then on its a mission full of suspense and intrigue as all of them try to wrest and stab Davy Jones heart and also try to organise all the pirates into one army to fight the enemy. But the Octopus Pirate Davy Jones (Bill Nighy) turns out to have made a deal with the enemy.
Everyone has his own selfish agenda, except for Will. He is a true hero because he wants to save his father even though it will mean that he will have to ferry the dead for as long as ten years, instead of his father. This could mean the end of his romance with Elizabeth…and there are some poignant moments here. However the scene where he proposes to Elizabeth in the midst of a heated battle is a bit over the board. And kind of reminiscent of other movies.
I thoroughly enjoyed seeing Elizabeth being crowned first as a Pirate and then as the Pirate King. It was a treat watching her prancing around in high boots and acting the toughie. No, not just acting. Elizabeth, everyone finds out, is made of steel.
The 'sets' in the movie are superb, specially the one in Singapore or even the place where Jack is trapped in hell on a bleak icy landscape with just his ship for company. The characters, straight out of a fantasy, do not disappoint either. Each one of them wierd and fantastic, with a peculiar and strong personality of his own. The battle scenes on the ship are deftly done, like in the earlier movies. The director, Gore Verbinski has managed to whip together a technically superior movie and cobbled together a medley of believable 'human' characters, even if they weren't all human.
Many reviewers have been critical of the length (2 hours 48 mins), but used as I am to Bollywood movies I found the length tolerable. There was action almost throughout.
Overall, the movie was worth a watch. The ending however was not all happy, and left one wondering if the producer has a sequel in mind. I think he (Jerry Bruckheimer) should forget about it. Three are enough.

best film of the year captain jack is great the is a lot of action and it is funny as well now we are see what happens in 4 so jack can get his ship back

In our everlasting quest for the best, we constantly scour the web to find new recipes. With Chanuka about to start tomorrow evening we felt great sufganyot recipes are in order.
This recipe comes from: kosherfood.about.com:
Hanukkah Doughnuts – Sufganiot (Parve)
Sufganiot are deep-fried jelly doughnuts that are traditionally eaten during the Jewish festival of Hanukkah. Sufganiot are especially popular in Israel. The oil used to fry the doughnuts are reminiscent of the oil that miraculously burned, according to the Hanukkah story, in the ancient Temple in Jerusalem.
- 25 grams (1 ounce) yeast
- 1 Tbsp. sugar
- 1 Tbsp. water
- 1 Tbsp. flour
- 3 cups flour
- 50 grams (1/4 cup) margarine, melted
- dash of salt
- 3 Tablespoons sugar
- 2 egg yolks
- 1 1/4 cups water (room temperature)
- jelly (strawberry is recommended)
- oil for frying (canola is recommended)
- powdered sugar
1. To make the dough: Combine the first four ingredients in a bowl. Mix well, cover, and wait until it rises. In another bowl, mix 3 cups of flour with the melted margarine, salt, sugar and egg yolks. Combine the yeast mixture with the flour mixture. Slowly add water while stirring. When batter is smooth, cover the bowl with a towel and let it sit and rise.
2. To make the doughnuts: After the batter has risen, pour it onto a floured surface and roll it out. Use a glass with a small opening to cut out circles of the dough. Place a drop of jelly in the middle of each circle, and then cover with another circle of dough. Make sure that 2 circles attach well to form a closed ball with jelly in the middle. Cover the doughnuts with a towel and let rise.
3. To fry the doughnuts: Heat oil in a deep pot until very hot. Drop the doughnuts into the oil and fry on both sides until brown. Remove with a slotted spoon and sprinkle with powdered sugar.
TIP: These sufganiot are only good fresh. After you make the dough, only fry a few at a time. Store the rest of the dough in the refrigerator.
Enjoy, gentle reader, enjoy

Play with your friends. That's the promise that online games have held out to us for many years, the ability to play computer games with friends regardless of physical location. MMOs take this to an extreme – play with thousands of people, some of whom may be your friends – but that's the general idea with any networked video game. It's the reason that Blizzard implemented RealID messaging across their game platforms. It's the reason why they are working towards removing your server as an impediment to playing with friends with cross-realm dungeons, raiding, battlegrounds. I fully expect to see cross-realm arenas, questing, and progression raiding in the future.
Blizzard has even started working on addressing one of the biggest problems with RealID – the lack of anonymity – by implementing a BattleTag system, one that will hopefully address the very real privacy concerns of RealID, while allowing people to still play with online friends. This is great! Over the past few years we, as a culture, have developed a lot of social network tools that allow us to control the amount of information we share online. This should be as true for a video game social network tool as it is for any other social tool; users care about how much information they present about themselves, and will migrate to tools which allow them the right amount of control.
Consider how different the internet landscape is today, in 2012, as opposed to 2004, when World of Warcraft launched. Facebook had launched a few months earlier, but in that year it expanded to over 800 colleges and grew to 1 million active users. Warcraft reached 10 million users in January 2008, while Facebook had reached 60-70 million. Social networks were in their infancy in 2004, centered around weblogs and photo sharing sites. The rise of Facebook is illustrative of a larger trend of making social internet tools more accessible, to a broader swath of the population.
I mean, the numbers are mind-boggling.
- One in nine people on the planet is on Facebook. (I'm not one of them.)
- Twitter handles a billion tweets every week.
- Google+ gained its first 10 million users in 16 days.
The amount of traffic generated by these kinds of sites is simply staggering. The impact of them upon MMOs like World of Warcraft cannot be understated. MMORPGs distinguish themselves from other video games by their social component, and since 2009 they are competing not just against other MMOs, but against all types of social computer activities – games, photo sharing sites, networking sites –
— even Farmville.
Furthermore, social networks have capitalized on something that MMOs have failed to – new mobile computing platforms. Only now, 5 years later, are we really able to see the impact that the iPhone's introduction in 2007 had to the mobile computing market. It wasn't just that it revolutionized the smartphone market – it did, making other manufacturers and platform developers realize they needed better interfaces and support for widespread application development. It also laid the groundwork for entirely new device markets like tablets, devices with great entertainment capability due to their flexibility, power, and ease of use. The iPad and Android tablet market has crushed other device types – remember when netbooks were going to be the new big thing? – and as technology moved away from the desktop, social media came right along with it.
Online social groups just aren't what they were in 2004-05. We've rapidly moved past the idea of localized communities, instead going for fully global networks, with integration across websites and media. Your phone is, in all likelihood, a powerful computing device which can keep you connected to nearly all of these networks. It's more likely that you keep in touch with your friends and family through some kind of social network than not.
And because it's not just a social network, it's also a video game, Warcraft is trying to keep up with these changes. Xbox Live is also doing this on the console space, but only WoW has both the subscriber base and the vision to pull off this necessary transformation.
I said in my post On Snow Crash, Virtual Avatars, and Warcraft's Social Network Appeal that Warcraft is a video game bolted on top of a social network. I really think that gets to the heart of the matter, and is something that any criticism of Cataclysm needs to take into consideration. Not only does the video game have to be compelling, but it has to allow us to do things with our friends – friends who we are tied to through those other social networks. The sheer number of online connections people have now means that any networked video game needs to be able to be flexible enough to accommodate them, to allow them to play video games with those friends. Cloud-based gaming is the way of the future.
Battle.net is in a great position to become the default social network for computer RPGs. By providing a framework of interaction between players on different servers and even in different games, Blizzard can use Battle.net to allow other game companies to adopt their network instead of developing one themselves. By publishing APIs to be usable by third parties, this puts Blizzard in the position to:
- Capture the customer relationship (by requiring a free bnet account, or creating one for the player)
- Introduce players of other games to Blizzard products (free marketing)
- Create new revenue streams from other game companies for "enhanced" bnet services.
Is there a cost to this? Yes, absolutely, and as a product developer I'd be very concerned with how to recoup the operational and development costs here. Perhaps the API is free to use for most games, but special features (guild circles, intergame profile management, etc.) are charged to the hosting game company. Perhaps the Google+/Facebook model of monetizing member data is used. Maybe it's a hybrid.
This kind of technology addresses a need that multi-player games will need in this new social reality, but game developers don't want to spend time developing. It also has reach far beyond a single game – if it can get into the market with the right services, for the right price, with one of the largest embeddded userbases in the space, the potential for Blizzard to form an ubiquitous social gaming platform is very, very high.
However, there's one problem within Warcraft that stands in the way: Guilds.
Do you have to belong to a guild in WoW, or not? Is it an optional social circle or a requirement for full participation in the game?
The guild system that has evolved in Cataclysm is very different from that which existed before, and is actively countering not only the general movement in social networks to be more inclusive, but also Blizzard's own attempts to make players more able to play with their friends.
World of Warcraft's infrastructure requires players to create accounts on specific, mutually exclusive servers. If I roll on Durotan, I cannot interact with players on Drenden or Moonrunner, and vice versa. Each server is effectively its own independent social network, limited in scope, much like old-school BBSes were. This made sense in 2004, but in 2012 social networks are broader, which is the whole point behind Real ID/BattleTags grouping. Warcraft is moving players towards a cloud-based existence, where your server matters less than your friends list. I personally think this is a good thing, because no matter how nostalgic I am for the old days of BBSes, I enjoy the present day reality of a global social network.
But guilds remain tied to servers, and they remain mutually exclusive.
This wouldn't be quite as problematic if guilds were merely social units, like they were before Cataclysm. But not only do we now have to contend with the integrating this social circle in to the cloud-based experience, an entire system has been developed around them to make belonging to a guild valuable and worthwhile to a player.
Let's take a simple example, a player who wants to play both Horde and Alliance. She joins nice guilds on both sides of the same server and enjoys spending time with each group. But depending on which character she chooses to play, she either has to choose one social group or the other. This doesn't have anything to do with guild perks or reputation – imagine a social network that forced you to choose between talking to one set of friends or another when logging in, and see how popular that would become. It's not enough to be able to talk individually. The community of a guild is important.
Now, while you might want controls over who you interact with at any time – think of Google+'s Circles here – you don't even have that option here within Warcraft. Either you're able to chat with Guild A, or with Guild B, but not both at the same time.
Yet, you're able to talk to individuals in those guilds if they're bnet friends.
Guilds, as they stand today, are both WoW's greatest social strength and its strongest force working against letting players playing with their friends. Guilds are important, but they tie players to a specific group on a specific server, isolating and separating them.
But with a few changes, guilds can join the new cloud-based paradigm Blizzard is moving towards with Battle.net.
1. Allow player characters to belong to multiple guilds at the same time. How this manifests is open to debate – one guild might be chosen as the only one they can represent at a time, allow access to the bank, has the guild tag on display, generates guild rep towards that guild, etc.. At a minimum, give players access to the social components of guild membership – guild chat. This allows them to stay connected with their circles.
2. Allow guilds to function cross-server. Remove the server as a consideration of guild membership. Guilds need to be able to function as social units across servers. Are there technical restrictions to this? You bet. Perhaps guild banks and perks are limited to the founding server. Perhaps limits are put in place to how many cross-server members are allowed. But allow members to group up with other guild members easily, regardless of location.
3. Extend guild chat to games outside of Warcraft. This gets a little trickier, and may involve changing the guild association from character to player. Any Battle.net-enabled game should be able to carry with it the idea that a player is a member of a specific guild, and feed guild chat to him or her in that game's chat interface. The game in question may not have guilds, but the player can still interact with those text channels through the game's interface.
Imagine how different things would be right now if players of other MMOs could still be present in your guild's chat.
4. Extend guild chat outside of video games. Stop tying the game's social experience to video games and leverage existing social networks. Go multi-modal with their tools. As a game company, you have to consider the ROI of putting Battle.net on every different platform out there. My recommendation – don't even try. Use their tools to get off the desktop and onto the phones and tablets of your players.
See, guilds are – or should be – supersets of friends, acquaintances, and even co-workers. They're folks united with a common purpose, a common goal, even if they might not know each other very well. It doesn't matter if they are a hard-core raiding team, a PvP world defense squad, or a fledgling leveling guild – they're a group of people working together. Doing things together. Playing together.
Attaching mechanics to guilds causes pressure on the social cohesion of the group to conform to those rules, to achieve goals that are (in many cases) counter to the goals which brought them together in the first place. This genie is out of the bottle, so to make the best of it Blizzard needs to bring guilds into the cloud.
Like it or not, servers as social units are not Warcraft's future. Each and every new cross-realm development shows this trend. Unfortunately, the guild structure remains the strongest bond to the server mentality in WoW.
For guilds to survive – and they need to survive – they need to change to meet the new social networking reality WoW finds itself in today.
