A powerful image of a young boy protesting the events unfolding in Syria:

Here is an overview and timeline on the current status of Syria's Civil War

Save the Children:

Syrian children have been victims of torture, rape, hunger, and extremely traumatic experiences since the conflict began in 2011. These events have devastating effects on the mental health, physical health, and the well being of these children. The next generation of Syrian's will need all the help they can get in order to prosper in the future. Schools and hospitals are major places in which quality of life can be sustained. Most have been destroyed by the ruthless fighting. Foreign aid has been trying to help these children that are under fire every day. There's no where to hide, everyone is a target. Save the Children is just one of the many organizations that are trying to help out. For now most organizations are helping out in the short term but the long term repair of Syria will be the real challenge.

Refugees:

Here is a visual of an actual refugee camp for Syrians that have escaped to Jordan.
3 out of 4 children have experienced the death of a loved one.

Where is the international community?

So far no intervention by any nation has been declared except for humanitarian aid. Many countries are nervous about arming the rebel factions since some of them are defined as radical Islamics that have terrorist affiliations. 
The recent stalemate in the fighting has pressured the International community to act. Assad must not obtain victory, the future of the Syrian children depends on a successful revolution.

Bullish Bets Jump Most Since July as Gold Rebounds: Commodities

Storified by · Tue, Mar 19 2013 20:13:25

Investors increased wagers on a commodity rally by the most in eight months as signs of a U.S. economic recovery bolstered the outlook for demand and drove rallies in crude oil, cotton, copper and gold.

Hedge funds and other large speculators raised net-long positions across 18 U.S. futures and options in the week ended March 12 by 30 percent to 528,680 contracts, the biggest gain since July and up from a four-year low the previous week, U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission data show. Money managers raised bullish bets on corn by 39 percent, cotton holdings were the highest since 2010, and gold wagers increased 9 percent.

 


Open interest
 in commodities rose 2.8 percent in the first half of March, heading for a third monthly gain, and the Standard & Poor’s GSCI Spot Index of 24 raw materials erased its 2013 losses. U.S. retail sales climbed twice as much as forecast in February, the government said March 13. In the four weeks to March 9, the average number of Americans filing for jobless benefits fell to the lowest since March 2008. The U.S., the largest economy, is the top consumer of corn and oil and the second-biggest metals user.

“People are accepting the fact that we have a growing economy, and there’s confirmation of that from the economic data,” said Sal Gilbertie, who helps manage $69 million of assets as president and chief investment officer of Teucrium Trading LLC in Santa Fe, New Mexico. “It gives people a reason to believe that there’s going to be sustained economic demand for base commodities.”

Commodity Rebound

The S&P GSCI gauge has gained 0.6 percent this year after being down 1 percent on March 4. The MSCI All-Country World Index of equities climbed 5.7 percent, while the dollar advanced 3.6 percent against a basket of six trading partners. Treasuries lost 0.9 percent, a Bank of America Corp. index shows.

The euro fell today to its lowest level this year, sending 17 of the raw materials tracked by the GSCI lower, after euro- area finance ministers reached an agreement on March 16 forcing depositors in Cypriot banks to share the cost of the latest euro-zone bailout.

First-time U.S. jobless claims fell 10,000 to 332,000 in the week ended March 9, the fewest since mid-January, the Labor Department said March 14. Output at factories, mines and utilities climbed 0.7 percent, the most in three months, exceeding the median projection in a Bloomberg survey of economists, the Federal Reserve said on March 15.

http://www.smh.com.au/technology/technology-news/reuters-staffer-accused-of-aiding-hackers-maintains-innocence-lawyer-20130318-2g9mz.html

En Reuters.com redaktør opprettholdt sin uskyld etter blir suspendert med lønn på fredag etter en amerikanske føderale anklage på kostnader han hjulpet medlemmer av anonym hacking kollektive.

Matthew Keys, 26, en sosiale medier Halvsju, var tiltalt på torsdag av en føderal grand jury i Sacramento, California, på tre kriminelle teller. De påståtte hendelsene skjedd før han ble med Reuters, tiltalen indikert.

New York-advokat Tor Ekeland sa han hadde vært ansatt av nøklene til å representere ham og at hans klient "opprettholder sin uskyld". Ekeland til Reuters han var montering en juristgruppe og at tastene "ser frem til å bestride disse grunnløse anklager".

Annonse

Arrestordren anklaget nøklene til gi hackere tilgang til datasystemer for Tribune i desember 2010. En historie på Tribune's Los Angeles Times hjemmeside var snart endret av en av disse hackere, tiltalen sa. Ifølge tiltalebeslutning, en hacker identifiseres kun som "Sharpie" brukt informasjon nøkler leveres i en Internett chatterom og endret en overskrift på en desember 2010 Los Angeles Times historie å lese "trykket bygger i huset å velge CHIPPY 1337". Referansen ble til en annen banalisere gruppe kreditert med defacing nettstedet til videospill utgiver Eidos i 2011. På fredag, nøkler utveksles tweets med noen godt wishers på Twitter, forteller en av dem, "Jeg er OK." Reuters talsmann David Girardin bekreftet Keys' suspensjon på fredag, men falt ytterligere kommentar. Tastene visste ikke svare på en forespørsel om kommentar.

Retten registreringer sa Keys hadde jobbet for en Tribune-eide TV-stasjon i Sacramento, opererer sin Twitter og Facebook feeds. En FBI-agent sa i en ransaking program at en tidligere kollega fortalte byrået at tastene hadde blitt avsluttet i oktober 2010. Tastene begynte Reuters i New York i januar 2012. Som sosiale medier Halvsju forfremmet han historier gjennom Twitter og andre virkemidler. Han bor i Secaucus, New Jersey, sa Justisdepartementet. Ekeland og California advokat jobber for nøkler, Jay Leiderman, lagt ut en rekke forsvar, starter med argumentet om at handlet som frilans journalist da han ble invitert til å bli med på Internet Relay Chat channel med elite hackere. "Han var i chatterommet intervjuteknikk," sa Leiderman. Ekeland sa i en video intervju med Huffington Post at mens han forsto at nøkler brukt navnet AESCracked til tider i løpet av chattene utvinnes av myndighetene, noen andre kanskje ha blitt benytter det navnet når AESCracked lovet å gi Tribune påloggingsinformasjon. Ekeland sa også skaden tastene var anklaget for å forårsake var mindre. "Det er bare en slags en juvenil defacement av en mindre sak om webområdet Los Angeles Times, som han ikke gjorde," Ekeland fortalte Huffington Post. Maksimalt for overbevisning på alle tre punkter ville være 25 år i fengsel og en $US500, 000 fint, selv om faktiske setninger overlevert av dommerne er ofte langt mindre enn maksimalt.

Tastene skrev på en personlig blogg og på en Reuters-blogg at han hadde tidligere fått tilgang til en elitegruppe av hackere, inkludert én kjent som veletablerte. Veletablerte, senere identifisert som Hector Xavier Monsegur, ble en FBI-informant, court records Vis. Monsegur ble offentlig identifisert i fjor og har erklærte seg skyldig i å delta i flere hacking konspirasjoner. Han avventer straffeutmålingen. Ekeland representert påstått AT & T iPad e-hacker Andrew Auernheimer, aka "Weev", som ble dømt i november i fjor på hacking konspirasjon og identitet svindel kostnader. Leidermans klienter inkluderer anonym medlem Christopher Doyon, som kaller seg Commander X. Doyon ble belastet med hacking Santa Cruz County, California, datamaskiner, men hoppet kausjon og har fortalt Leiderman han er i Canada, Leiderman sa.

Tastene er planlagt å være stevnet på 12 April i Sacramento, ifølge banen docket.

"Bare en online prank"

Glødende online tilhengere av nøklene si journalisten var bare å ta del i en online prank som kort forandret Los Angeles Times' nettsted, og han skal ikke noen gang har blitt suspendert fra jobben sin.

I en alder når linjen mellom tech superstjerne og outright hacking vokser stadig uklare, saken mot nøkler legger bør nakne skarpe avdelinger om hva som utgjør Internett kriminalitet og hvor langt regjeringen gå til å stoppe det.

"Kongressen ønsker harde straffer doled ut for disse forbrytelsene fordi de ikke vil at folk som defacing nettsteder, men det må være en måte at vi kan bringe loven i harmoni med realitetene i hvordan folk bruker teknologi i dag," sa Hanni Fakhoury, en advokat på San Francisco-basert nonprofit Electronic Frontier Foundation.

Keys' tiltale kommer etter siste hacks i datasystemene til to andre amerikanske medieselskaper som eier The New York Times og The Wall Street Journal. Begge aviser rapporterte i februar at deres datasystemer hadde blitt infiltrert av Kina-baserte hackere, sannsynlig å overvåke media dekning som den kinesiske regjeringen anser som viktig.

Anonym og dens avlegger, Lulz sikkerhet, har vært knyttet til en rekke høyprofilerte dataangrep og forbrytelser, inkludert mange som var ment å fornærme bedriftens giganter, regjeringer og føderale byråer. De har vært koblet til angrep som tok data fra FBI partnerorganisasjon InfraGard, og de har fastkjørte nettsteder av CIA og den offentlige Broadcasting Service.

Keys' tiltale følger også selvmordet til Aaron Swartz, en 26-år gamle Internett-aktivist som ble funnet død i sin leilighet i Brooklyn 11 januar som en prøveversjon ruvet i hans fremtid.

Familie og venner si Swartz drepte seg selv etter at han var jaget av føderale påtalemyndigheten. Tjenestemenn sier han hjalp legge millioner av retten dokumenter for gratis online og at han ulovlig lastet ned millioner av akademiske artikler fra en online clearinghouse.

"I kjølvannet av Aaron Swartz saken, vi virkelig trodde at rettferdighet ville slags fange pusten og kanskje forstå at de hadde feilet i å skyve disse tilfellene frem i en slik aggressiv måte for hva er i hovedsak pranks," Leiderman sa.

I dag, sponser topp programvareselskaper ofte 'hackathons', helger intens arbeid og lite søvn, for å få gratis utenfor programmering hjelp til å løse problemer, eller fremme produkter.

Noen ganger, ligg koding linjene mellom hva er lovlige og ulovlige.

Hacking forbrytelser belastes tastene er lagt ut i oss datamaskin svindel og misbruk Act, som ble vedtatt på 1980-tallet.

Føderale påtalemyndigheten bruke loven til å gå etter en bredt spekter av Internett forbrytelser, men loven gjenspeiler ikke hvordan vår atferd online har endret seg over de siste tre tiårene, sa Mary Fan, en tidligere føderal aktor som spesialiserer seg på criminal law og prosedyre ved University of Washington School of Law.

"Noen vil kanskje si hvis du ta andres eiendom eller bryte seg inn i et privat sted uten tillatelse, vil vi ikke bli opprørt om tiltaler, så hvorfor skulle vi være opprørt over disse tiltaler hvis overtredelse skjedd nettet?" Fan sa. "Andre kan si er hva som skjedde i dette tilfellet virkelig enda et problem? Det er slag av en kultur clash."

Milk Soup Recipes

Teljeves Milk Soup

A traditional Hungarian diet soup recipe, Tejleves is milk soup flavored with salt and sugar and consists of Hungarian noodles or potatoes. Vegetables and herbs can also be added to the mix for a more flavorful, aromatic and nutritious soup. To make basic milk soup, you need milk, water, white sugar, salt and a bowl of precooked noodles. You can also add mixed vegetables such as carrots, peas broccoli, potatoes, and cauliflower. Herbs that go well with milk soup include parsley, basil, tarragon, and rosemary.

Milk soup is a common appetizer or meal in many Eastern European countries. Among Poles, it is called “zupa mleczna,” among Czechs and Hungarians it is known as “tejleves,” Lithuanians call it “pieninės sriubos,” Ukranians call it “sup molochnyy,” while Russians call it “sup molochnyi.” It is typically eaten hot for breakfast and is also commonly served as a meal for the sick. During the communist era, milk soup was a staple at Polish milk bars.

Farmers usually make milk soup to use up cow’s milk that could not be turned into cheese, buttermilk, or butter since it is easy and simple to do and is quite satisfying at the end of a tiring day. Today it is a comfort food in many parts of the world and often served with bread, rice, noodles, millet, farina, barley, or potatoes. If you can’t find Hungarian noodles to make this recipe, you can also use pasta noodles like elbow macaroni, bow tie, penne, fusilli, or other pasta shells. The pasts should be cooked al dente and then added to the soup at the end of cooking.

For an authentic Tejleves milk soup, use Hungarian egg noodles, which is also known as Magyar tojasos teszta, or metelt. They come in as many shapes and sizes as Italian pasta and you can choose the type of shape and size you prefer in making this soup.

Ingredients
400ml milk
2 cups water
1 tablespoon white sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 medium bowl pre cooked noodles

In a deep saucepan boil milk, water, sugar and salt.


To this add the prepared noodles and allow it to boil for 5 minutes.


You can also add vegetables to this and serve hot.
