Billy Mills (Track & Field) 1953-57
Mills grew up on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation for the Oglala Lakota Tribe in Pine Ridge, S.D. Growing up Mills participated in boxing and running but did not hone his skills on the track until he came to Lawrence, Kan., and Haskell Institute. Following his time at Haskell, the South Dakota native went onto star at the University of Kansas, where he was a three-time All-American and a Big 8 champion. Aside from his collegiate prowess, Mills did exceptionally well on the international stage, winning Gold in the 10,000 meters during the 1964 Olympics in Tokyo, where he became only the second Native American to capture Gold. The heralded Olympian continued to run after his Tokyo experience, breaking U.S. records in two events (10,000 meters and three mile run), as well as a world record in the six mile. Mills currently lives in Sacramento, Calif., where he is a spokesperson for ‘Running Strong for American Indian Youth' organization. He is also a member of numerous Hall of Fames throughout the nation, including the U.S. Olympic Hall of Fame as well as the National Distance Running Hall of Fame.

I’m writing this on August 15. It is our Independence Day. A young Kashmiri Muslim told me in Srinagar a few months ago that this is the day on which everyone there tries to stay indoors. This is not because the people support Pakistan, but because they are most suspect on August 15. You are questioned, searched, and locked. If any of the readers have had a chance to view Sanjay Kak’s powerful documentary Jashn-e-Azadi (How We Celebrate Freedom) you’ll see how Sanjay, coming in to Srinagar for a visit around Independence Day, is struck by the fact that the only people present for the ceremony are the cops and members of the armed forces. (That’s Rave Out #1. For Jashn-e-Azadi.)

Last week’s announcement of the Indian Express-CNN/IBN poll, that an overwhelming majority of Kashmiris in the valley want azadi, also underlines the importance of a genuine rethinking on the question of independence rather than empty, nationalist sabre-rattling. (Anyway, that’s Rave Out #2. For Indian Express and CNN/IBN, as well as the good folk at CSDS who designed the poll.)

This is a good day for re-opening the pages of 13 December: A Reader, in which thirteen writers and journalists point out the injustice involved in the quick media-lynching of SAR Geelani and the denial of a fair trial to Afzal Guru. (This would be Rave Out #3, for the book, although wouldn’t it be great if the book weren’t needed?)

14 ફેબ્રુઆરીને વેલેન્ટાઈન ડે તરીકે ઉજવવામાં આવે છે. યુવાન હૈયાઓ આ દિવસની આતુરતાથી રાહ જોતા હોય છે. આ દિવસે યુવક યુવતીઓ પોતાના પ્રીય પાત્રને ગીફ્ટ આપીને પ્રેમનો એકરાર કરતા હોય છે. પરંતુ ગિફ્ટ આપવી અથવા લેવી અલગ અલગ ગ્રહો ઉપર અલગ અલગ અસર કરે છે.

Zero Day Initiative Advisory 10-231 - This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on vulnerable installations of Juniper SA Series devices. Authentication is not required to exploit this vulnerability. The specific flaw exists within the meeting_testjava.cgi page which is used to test JVM compatibility. When handling the DSID HTTP header the code allows an attacker to inject arbitrary javascript into the page. This can be abused by an attacker to perform a cross-site scripting attack on the device.
