Indonesia ferry sinks off Sumatra

Almost 300 people have been pulled from the sea after a ferry sank off the coast of Sumatra in Indonesia, officials say.

But four people were killed and officials said many more remained missing after the accident, which happened early on Sunday. Officials blamed the incident on bad weather and high waves. It appears that the ferry, which reportedly had a capacity of 273 people, was overloaded when it sank. According to its manifest, 240 people were on board the Dumai Express 10 ferry when it sailed.But Indonesia's sea transport director-general, Sunaryo, called the disparity between the manifest and reality "large" and described it as "a classic case" of rule-breaking. He said rescue efforts were being hampered by bad weather. "The waves are as high as six metres, it's difficult for small ships to reach the location," he told a news conference in Jakarta. 'Traumatised' The Dumai Express 10 was travelling from Batam island to Dumai in Riau, Sumatra, when it sank.Officials said it rolled over before capsizing about 90 minutes into its voyage.RECENT MARITIME DISASTERS

Indonesia's public transport perils

Rescue efforts were aided by the fact that the ferry went down in the busy Malacca Straits between Indonesia and Malaysia.

According to Sunaryo, 292 people were picked up by nearby boats. The total number of people on board the vessel remains unknown.

Officials said rescue efforts would continue until dark and then resume in the morning.

A navy spokesman said it was not clear whether anyone was still inside the ferry, which was now completely submerged.

"We're not sure if anyone is trapped in the ferry. Those who have been rescued are traumatised," Iskandar Sitompul said.

Another ferry, the Dumai Express 15, was reported to have run aground in bad weather as it travelled between Batam and Moro islands.

All 278 passengers and crew on board were said to be safe.

Ferry accidents linked to over-crowding and poor vessel maintenance kill hundreds of passengers in Indonesia each year.

The country's large population is spread out over 17,000 islands and relies on ships and ferries to travel around.

In the last three years, at least 800 people have been killed in ferry accidents in Indonesia.

How to bypass web filters

There are several occasions where you will be at a public to How to bypass web filters
terminal, and require access to a particular website that is blocked for some reason or another. How to bypass these restrictions is a very common question, and will be covered here.

Lets pretend for a moment that the Internet is made up of 26 websites, A-Z. The web filter blocks your browser from accessing sites X-Z, but not sites A-W. Simply make the browser think you’re going to A-
W. There are a variety of ways to do this:

Proxy Servers:
This is a list of http proxies. These sites may not be up forever, so you may need to search for “free http proxy” or “public proxy servers” or other similar terms.

Proxy server lists:
• http://www.aliveproxy.com
• http://www.multiproxy.org
• http://www.publicproxyservers.com/index.html
• http://www.tehbox.com/proxy
• http://www.proxz.com
• http://www.proxy4free.com/index.html
• http://free-proxies.com

Now that you have a list of proxies, you would open IE (internet explorer) and click on Tools > Internet Options > Connections > LAN Settings > Advanced. Enter the address and port of one of the servers from the list in the proper area (http) and make sure the “use a proxy server for your LAN” option is selected. Remember to replace the proxy and port at your terminal to the original when you're done.

*Note: Some proxies listed may not work, and this method may decrease your surfing speed. By trying various entries, you’ll find one that works, or works faster.

The infamous translation trick:
Go to a web page translation site and use their services to “translate a page to English” thus accessing the blocked page through their trusted site.

You’ll notice that several translation sites are blocked, but by using less popular ones, this method can still be effective. Here is a list of some translation services. Again, these sites may not be up forever, so you may need to search for them.

• http://babelfish.altavista.com
• http://world.altavista.com
• http://translation.langenberg.com
• http://freetranslation.com/web.thm

Url Scripting:

Url scripting is the easiest method. It works on a select few web filters and is based on the same principal as the translation trick. By typing and address like “www.yahoo.com@www.restricted_site.com the filter will not go into effect as it recognizes the trusted site (in this case yahoo.com)

Other tricks:
Simply open the command prompt and type:
Ping restricted.com ? restricted.com obviously being the restricted site
At this point you can take down the IP address (ex. 216.109.124.73) and enter it into the browser. If access to the command prompt is also restricted, see “How to bypass restrictions to get to the command prompt.” If this article has been taken from information leak, then know that it involves anything from opening the browser, selecting view > source, then saving it as X.bat and opening it to opening a folder or browser and typing in the location of cmd.exe depending on the OS. I will not go into further, as this a completely different topic.

Use https://restrictedsite.com as referring to it as a secured site may confuse the filter.

Note: These are ancient methods that many new filters defend against, but still may be applicable in your situation. If not, a little history never hurt anyone.

Web based Proxies:
Another one of the easier, yet effective methods include web based proxies. These are simple in the fact that you just enter the restricted address and surf! Some of these have some restrictions, like daily usage limits, etc but you can also use another proxy (perhaps one that sucks, like a text only) to bypass their restrictions as well. Here is a list of some:

• http://proxify.com]http://proxify.com
• http://www.anonymizer.com/index.cgi]http://www.anonymizer.com/index.cgi
• http://www.guardster.com/]http://www.guardster.com/
• http://anonymouse.ws/anonwww.html]http://anonymouse.ws/anonwww.html
• http://www.the-cloak.com/login.html]http://www.the-cloak.com/login.html
• https://www.megaproxy.com/freesurf]https://www.megaproxy.com/freesurf

• http://www.free2.surffreedom.com/nph-free.cgi]http://www.free2.surffreedom.com/nph-free.cgi

Proxy Programs:
There are many proxy programs that allow you to surf anonymously that are more or less based on the same topics we’ve covered here. I’ve added them just to cover the topic thoroughly:

• http://www.hotscripts.com/Detailed/28480.html]http://www.hotscripts.com/Detailed/28480.html
• http://www.inetprivacy.com/a4proxy/anonymous-grc.htm]http://www.inetprivacy.com/a4proxy/anonymous-grc.htm
• http://www.orangatango.com/home/index.ie.html]http://www.orangatango.com/home/index.ie.html
• http://www.steganos.com]http://www.steganos.com
• http://www.anonymization.net]http://www.anonymization.net ? toolbar that requires admin rights to install

Making your own CGI proxy server:

Making your own proxy server may come in handy, but I personally find that simply uploading a txt file/w a list of proxies to a free host makes for a much easier and headache free solution. If you don’t know PERL, there is code out there to help you set it up. Check out these sites for more info:

• http://httpbridge.sourceforge.net]http://httpbridge.sourceforge.net
• http://www.jmarshall.com/tools/cgiproxy]http://www.jmarshall.com/tools/cgiproxy
• http://www.manageability.org/blog/stuff/open-source-personal-proxy-servers-written-in-java/view]http://www.manageability.org/blog/stuff/op...en-in-java/view

Admin Access:
When all else fails, you can simply take over the PC and alter or delete the damn filter. This method varies according to the OS (operating system) you are dealing with. Please see “Hacking Windows NT” for more information. If this tutorial has been taken from information leak, then I will go as far as to say it involves booting the PC in another OS, copying the SAM file and cracking it using a program like Sam inside or LC5 rather than start a whole new topic within one.

They were killed in an early American homeland, in the heart of the community of this great American," Obama said as quoted by AFP news agency on Wednesday (11/11/2009 ). "This is a fact that makes this tragedy even more painful, even more incomprehensible," he said. A total of 12 U.S. soldiers and a civilian were killed in mass shooting actions at Fort Hood last week. Death action was carried out Major Nidal Hasan, a military psychiatrist. U.S. Men's Palestinian descent had coma after being shot in the incident. But now he has regained consciousness and could speak.

What is Auto Run Worm

What is AutoRun Worm?

(Description):

90% of the computers connected to the Web are infected.

AutoRun is a Worm application distinguished by its mode of proliferation. Once contracted, the worm copies executable commands in the Windows and System folders. It also copies an autorun command into every resident drive, all the way to J. The file, autorun.inf, will launch the worm every time that drive or partition is opened. Additionally, AutoRun tries to protect itself by disabling the Task Manager.
The worm's secondary objective is to simply search all of the resident drives for any file ending in the extension, .mp3. Once it finds them, the application summarily deletes them. Expectedly, AutoRun is set to run on Startup.

AutoRun Characterstics

• Disables programs / system

• Installs without user consent

• Inadequate uninstall procedures

• Insufficient privacy disclosure and consent

• Uses excessive system resources

How Do I Get Rid of AutoRun worm?
To avoid the unnecessary risk of damaging your computer, we highly recommend you use a good spyware cleaner/remover to automatically detect and remove AutoRun and other spyware on your PC.

1. Download AutoRun Removal Tool.
2. Run a scan to detect and remove any AutoRun infection.
3. Restart your PC and run another scan for any remaining traces of AutoRun

AutoRun Manual Removal Instructions
Note: This AutoRun manual removal process is difficult and you run the risk of destroying your computer. We highly recommend you use the AutoRun automatic removal tool

What is a Worm?
Worms are classified by their propensity to duplicate themselves. Trojans and Viruses don't do this, but a worm is adept at making so many versions of itself that it's hard to remove. Due to their prolific nature, worms can propagate themselves over the Internet and over a LAN without a specific command from the malicious programmer. Moreover, worms do not have to infect a file as a Virus does, so, like a Trojan, a worm can be downloaded with a legitimate program that can still function properly and independently. Email attachments, instant message attachments, FTP file shares and p2p file shares are all easy carriers for worms, which is why a user must exercise caution when dealing with any of these.

Like their non-propagating cousins, Trojans, worms usually have a variety of tasks that include opening up vital data to theft, launching popups and other advertising (adware), hijacking browsers, and spying on user activities (spyware).

Science fiction|writer|visionary|Sir Arthur C. Clarke

Remembering Sir Arthur C. Clarke
source: ITU News
Science fiction writer and visionary Sir Arthur C. Clarke died on 19 March 2008 in Colombo, Sri Lanka, at the age of 90. He was born on 16 December 1917 in Minehead, Somerset in the United Kingdom and moved to Sri Lanka; then called Ceylon, in 1956.
The international telecommunication community will remember Sir Arthur for making popular the concept of using the geostationary orbit for communications.
In October 1945, Clarke published in the British magazine Wireless World a technical paper entitled „Extra-terrestrial Relays-Can Rocket Stations Give World-wide Radio Coverage?“ The paper established the feasibility of artificial satellites as relay stations for Earth based communications. Clarke predicted that one day communications around the world would be possible via a network of three geostationary satellites spaced at equal intervals around the Earth‘s equator.
Nearly two decades later, in 1964, Syncom 3 became the first geostationary satellite to finally fulfil Clarke’s prediction. Later that year, Syncom 3 was used to relay television coverage of the Summer Olympic Games in Tokyo to the United States — the first television transmission over the Pacific Ocean. Now, there are hundreds of satellites in orbit and providing communications to millions of people around the globe. In 1954, Clarke had also proposed using satellites in meteorology. Today, we cannot imagine predicting the weather without using dedicated meteorological satellites. Looking back on these developments, in his book How the World Was One — Beyond the Global Village, published in 1992, Clarke wrote: „Sometimes I’m afraid that you people down on Earth take the space stations for granted, forgetting the skill and science and courage that went to make them. How, often do you stop to think that all your long-distance
phone calls, and most of your TV programmes are routed through one or the other of the satellites? And how often do you give any credit to the meteorologists for the fact that weather forecasts are no longer the joke they were to our grandfathers, but are dead accurate ninety-nine percent of the time?“
Clarke wrote more than 80 books involving science, and science fiction. His short story The Sentinel served as the basis for Stanley Kubrick’s 1968 film 2001: A Space Odyssey. His other famous works include The Exploration of Space, The Promise of Space, The Fountains of Paradise, his semi-autobiographical novel Glide Path, and Childhood‘s End. Before his death, Clarke had just reviewed the manuscript of his latest novel, The Last Theorem.

The treatment of HIV infection

The treatment of HIV infection can be largely divided into specific antiviral agents that inhibit viral replication, measures that either treat or prevent (prophylaxis) its complications – namely opportunistic infections and tumours. Major advances in the treatment of HIV infection have occurred in the last few years. This has resulted in marked falls in the reported number of new AIDS cases and deaths in the developed world since 1996. Effective antiretroviral therapy regimens which substantially inhibit HIV replication and allow sustained improvements in the immune system are the main reason for this. There are currently three classes of antiretroviral agents: the nucleoside and non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors and the protease inhibitors. Improved formulations and new drugs are continuously being evaluated and there is increasing interest in the possible role of immunotherapy combined with antiretroviral therapy to

all about HIV, AIDS and Virus

Introduction
although it is clear that HIV is the underlying cause of AIDS and AIDS related disease, its origin remains obscure. There is firm serological evidence of infection on the east and west coasts of the USA from the mid 1970s, and HIV infection in central Africa may have antedated infection in North America. Phylogenetic analysis of the HIV-1 genome has suggested an origin in chimpanzees while, in the case of HIV-2, similarity to the simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV) genome may point to an origin in sooty mangabey monkeys. In both cases the butchery and consumption of these “bush meats” has been incriminated in transmissions to the human host. Like some other RNA viruses, HIV appears to have mutated and shifted its host range and virulence, explaining how a new pathogenic retrovirus could arise in man. Its virulence may since have been amplified as a result of travel, population dislocation and promiscuous sexual contact, with rapid passage of the virus. Retroviruses are so named because their genomes encode an unusual enzyme, reverse transcriptase, which allows DNA to be transcribed from RNA. Thus, HIV can make copies of its own genome, as DNA, in host cells such as the human CD4 “helper” lymphocyte. The viral DNA becomes integrated in the lymphocyte genome, and this is the basis for chronic HIV infection. Integration of the HIV genome into host cells is a formidable obstacle to any antiviral treatment that would no just suppress but also eradicate the infection. Nevertheless, modern treatment with combinations of nucleoside analogues and protease inhibitors has transformed the prognosis for carriers of HIV, usually achieving a sustained fall in virus concentration in blood and restoration of the main target cell (CD4 lymphocyte) to near normal levels. By contrast, the inherent variability of the HIV genome and the failure of the human host to produce neutralizing antibodies to the virus, as well as technical difficulties and concerns about safety, have continued to frustrate attempts to make an effective vaccine. This must not, however, allow efforts to develop and evaluate candidate vaccines to slacken. A particular concern is that a useful candidate vaccine (probably a recombinant envelope vaccine developed in North America or Europe against the locally prevalent HIV-1 B subtype) would be ineffective in those parts of the world where other subtypes predominate. WHO estimates that in the year 2000 there are 36 million carriers of HIV worldwide, and only a small fraction of them have access to suppressive treatment. Both their contacts, their dependants and possibly they themselves would have their life prospects transformed by an effective, or even partially effective, vaccine, and successful application of antiviral treatment in developed countries should in no way be allowed to deflect attention from the necessity of developing and delivering an effective vaccine and of promoting “safe sex” behavior.

THE STATUS OF WOMAN IN ISLAM

By Jamal A. Badawi

PREFACE
Family, society and ultimately the whole of mankind is treated by Islam on an ethical basis. Differentiation in sex is neither a credit nor a drawback for the sexes. Therefore, when we talk about status of woman in Islam it should not lead us to think that Islam has no specific guidelines, limitations, responsibilities and obligations for men. What makes one valuable and respectable in the eyes of Allah, the Creator of mankind and the universe, is neither one's prosperity, position, intelligence, physical strength nor beauty, but only one's Allah-consciousness and awareness (taqwa).
However, since in the Western culture and in cultures influenced by it,
there exists a disparity between men and women there is more need for stating Islam's position on important issues in a clear way.
Dr. Jamal Badawi's essay, The Status of Women in Islam, was originally
published in our quarterly journal, Al-lttihad, Vol. 8, No. 2, Sha'ban 1391/Sept 1971. Since then it has been one of our most-demanded publications. We thank Br. Jamal for permitting us to reprint his essay. We hope it will clarify many of the misconceptions.
Anis Ahmad, Director Dept. of Education and Training MSA of U.S. and Canada P.O. Box 38 Plainfield, IN 46168 USA Jumada al Thani 1400 April 1980

I. INTRODUCTION

The status of women in society is neither a new issue nor is it a fully settled one. The position of Islam on this issue has been among the subjects presented to the Western reader with the least objectivity.
This paper is intended to provide a brief and authentic exposition of what Islam stands for in this regard. The teachings of Islam are based essentially on the Qur'an (God's revelation) and Hadeeth (elaboration by Prophet Muhammad).

Osama Bin Laden of Other Side

People familiar with Osama bin Laden as a fugitive terrorist bully the world. People rarely know the other side of the life of Osama.

Osama's first wife, Najwa bin Laden reveals another reality of the person who held liable under a number of terrorist acts, including acts of terror phenomenal, blasting the building twin World Trade Center, New York, on September 11, 2001.

As written in his book, Najwa said that Osama was a father figure who is much disciplined. Osama did not hesitate to hit her smiling so wide, until the teeth look.

On the other hand had a penchant for gardening Osama sunflowers and consider sports car Like his first wife.

In his house, Osama forbids the use of electronic equipment. He also ordered the boys to climb the mountain of sand in the desert without carrying water. The goal, so that the child strong.

Not without reason Osama apply hard on his family. That decision related to Osama to get away to the Sudan, as a form of resistance in the Arab royal families who invited U.S. troops stationed there.

Learning to sleep in the open and uncomfortable, and desert hiking, for Osama, is the way he prepares his children facing difficult and hard life.

Najwa (then 15 years old) married to Bin Laden who was then 17 years old. The marriage produced seven sons and four daughters.

Najwa not the only one wife. Osama has a total of six wives who are placed in separate houses in Saudi Arabia and Sudan.

Regulations that apply to the same sixth wife, they can not use electronic equipment.

"My father would not allow the mother to turn on air conditioners, even though the AC was installed in our apartment," said Osama and Najwa's son, Omar, as the page loaded Telegraph.

"He also did not allow women to use the refrigerator standing in the kitchen," he added.

However, there is one thing in which Osama boasted to his children. Osama, Omar said, good at math. Osama likes to test the speed of even counted with a calculator.

"My father is very famous have great abilities in mathematics. Many who came to the house with a calculator and challenging his ability," added Omar.

According to Najwa's story, he and Osama never went to the United States in 1979, after the Iranian revolution. In the U.S., Osama Abdullah met Azzan, the radical Palestinian cleric who then became his spiritual teacher.

After that, Osama went to Afghanistan, helping insurgents against the Soviet Union. One goal to go to Afghanistan, so romantic, so he could tell his children the story of heroism in the war.

However, when returning from Afghanistan, Osama became a rigid figure.

In a book written by Najwa, also revealed that Osama had at least one gold-colored Mercedes car and speedboat.

"There's nothing satisfying thing for him other than speeding in the desert, then he would leave his car and walked in the desert," he said.

New WordPress 2.9

We have been hard at work now for a few months on the new features that will be coming in WordPress 2.9, and we are nearing the time when the first beta version will be available. We’ll need your help with beta testing the new features and ironing out any bugs.

There are a number of different ways in which you can get involved in the testing process, and there are options to suit people of all different skill sets. First of all, you can join the wp-testers mailing list to keep up to date with the testing progress and to discuss things with the other testers. Secondly, you can head over to the Trac ticketing system and either create tickets for bugs you find or use some of the useful searches to look for patches that need testing or that need someone to try and reproduce the issue.

During the beta phase we are going to focus on the stabilization of the new features and the removal of existing bugs which are well-understood and have easily testable solutions. During this process we will not be adding any more enhancements so as to ensure that the focus is on making the 2.9 release as bug-free as possible. We will also try and have a few special bug hunt days where one or more experienced WordPress developers will be available to help people track down issues and get patches committed to fix bugs.

To make is as easy as possible for you to get a beta testing install up and running we have put together a small WordPress plugin which makes it really easy to convert a test install of the latest release version of WordPress into a beta test install of the next up and coming release. The plugin is called WordPress Beta Tester and is available to download from WordPress Extend or can be installed using the built-in plugin installer. Please make sure you to only install this plugin on a test site, as we don’t recommend running beta versions on your normal live sites in case anything goes wrong. You can read more about the plugin in “Making it easy to be a WordPress Tester”

We are aiming to release the first beta version of 2.9 around the end of October, once we have put the finishing touches on the new features, and then we switch to full on beta testing mode and your help and feedback will be very much appreciated. During the beta program will push out new builds for automated upgrades regularly and once we feel that a suitable level of stability has been achieves we will release a release candidate, and we hope to be able to make the final release 2.9 build available in either late November or early December.

Gaming Keyboard from logitech

Years ago, we reviewed the Logitech Gaming Keyboard G11 and found that it was pretty great, except for being unfortunately large and lacking USB 2.0. The company's newest update, the Gaming Keyboard G110, certainly looks to have addressed those issues with a much slimmer base and a more efficiently compact key layout.

Backlit LED keys can be set to red, blue, or "any shade between," meaning a veritable spectrum of purples are yours to savor. Twelve programmable G keys can store macros up to 36 characters long, and an MR button allows adding macros spontaneously, in case any new ones come to you midgame.

On the back is a USB 2.0 hub port, along with dedicated headphone and mic jacks so gamers can also plug in their headset of choice and any other mouse, control pad, or other peripheral that comes to mind when fragging.

The G110 comes out in November for $79.99.
