Once upon a time, a merchant led a caravan to another country to trade. One day, they came to the edge of a desert with sand as hot as burning coal. It was so scorching that no one, not even bullocks or camels could walk on it ! Left with no choice, the caravan leader hired a desert guide - one who could travel at night when the sand was cool. In this manner, they trekked dangerous across the desert at night.
This went on fine until one night, the guide complacently dozed off to sleep when he saw that they were reaching the end of the desert. Unattended, the bullocks gradually swerved to the side and travelled around in a big circle until they ended up at the same spot they had started from the night before !
By then, the sun had risen. When the people realised they were back at the same place they'd camped the day before, they lost heart and began complaining about their condition. They had used up all their water and were afraid that they woud die of thirst. "We can't do without water," they reproached the caravan leader and the guide.
"If I do nothing but just grumbed about this misfortune, we will all die here. Therefore I must be strong and face this challenge calmly !" thought the merchant. He began pacing up and down, thinking of a plan to save them all.
Suddenly, he noticed a small clump of grass. "No plant can survive in this desert without water," he analysed. So he gathered the strongest of his fellow travellers and asked them to dig a hole on that very spot. They dug and dug, and after a while they hit a large rock. "This effort is useless. We're just wasting our time !" they complained in a blaming tone once again. But the merchant replied : "No, my friends, if we give up now, it will be the end for us and our poor animals. Let us not be discouraged !
He got down into the hole immediately, placed his ear to the rock, and heard the sound of water flowing. Straight away, he called over a boy who had been digging and said : "If you give up, we will all perish - so take this heavy hammer and strike the rock."
The boy lifted the hammer over his head and hit the rock as hard as he could. To his surprise, the rock spilt open and a mighty gush of water sprang out from undereath ! All the people were overwhelmed with joy. They drank, bathed, washed their animals, cooked their food and ate heartily.
Before they left, they put up a tall banner so that other travellers could see it from afar and come to the new spring in the middle of the desert. Then, they continued on safely to the end of their journey.
The Moral is >>> Don't give up too easily. Keep on trying until you reach your goal.

US soldier gets 110 years for Iraq murders
A US soldier convicted by a military court of the gang rape and murder of a 14-year-old Iraqi girl and the killing of her family was sentenced to 110 years in prison on Saturday, the Army said.
Private Jesse Spielman, 22, received a dishonorable discharge after being found guilty of four counts of murder, rape, conspiracy to commit rape and housebreaking with the intent to commit rape by a military court at Fort Campbell, Kentucky.
Spielman was one of five soldiers charged in the March 2006 attack on the family in Mahmudiya, south of Baghdad. Three soldiers previously pleaded guilty in the case and were given sentences ranging from five to 100 years.
Spielman, the court found, participated in the planning of the attack as the soldiers drank whiskey and played cards, and acted as a lookout.
At the start of the weeklong hearing, Spielman pleaded guilty to wrongful touching of a corpse, arson, obstructing justice and violating rules against drinking alcohol in a war zone.
Sergeant Paul Cortez and Specialist James Barker were sentenced to 90 years and 100 years in prison, respectively.
The accused ringleader, former Private Steven Green, was discharged from the Army for a "personality disorder" and awaits trial in a civilian court. He has pleaded not guilty and faces a possible death sentence.
Cortez and Barker, who both testified at Spielman's court-martial, admitted raping the girl, Abeer Qassim al-Janabiat, and said Green shot her parents and younger sister. Green then raped the girl and killed her, and they poured kerosene over her body and set it on fire in an attempt to hide evidence of the crime, they testified.
Another soldier, Private Bryan Howard, admitted to monitoring radio traffic and was given a five-year sentence.
The killings outraged Iraqis and ratcheted up tension in the war zone.
Shrine bomber killed: US In another development, US troops killed the Al-Qaida mastermind of bombings at a prized Shi'ite shrine, an official said yesterday.
Haitham Sabah Shaker Mohammed al-Badri was the Al-Qaida in Iraq emir of Salahuddin province, and the figure responsible for two bombings at the Golden Dome mosque in Samarra, the US military said. He died in a US operation east of Samarra on Thursday, though his death was announced three days later.
"Al-Badri's body was positively identified by close associates and family members," Rear Admiral Mark Fox, a US military spokesman, told reporters yesterday.
Al-Badri had been a suspect in a June 13 attack which toppled the Askariya shrine's twin minarets, as well as in an earlier bombing, in February 2006, which destroyed the same mosque's golden dome and set in motion an unrelenting cycle of retaliatory sectarian bloodletting.

China in line for record foreign tourists
BEIJING: More than 12 million foreign tourists visited China in the first half of 2007 and the country is in line to set a new record if the trend continues, according to the national tourist body.
The total for the first six months of the year is 18 per cent up on the same period from 2006, suggesting the number of foreign visitors could exceed last year's record of 22 million.
Tourism growth is expected to stay strong in coming years with an expected boost from next year's Beijing Olympics, and another shot in the arm supplied by the 2010 Shanghai World Expo.
As a result, China is tipped to overtake France by 2014 as the world's top tourism destination, according to the World Tourism Organisation.
According to the China National Tourism Administration, total spending by foreign tourists in the first half of the year -- excluding visitors from Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan -- rose to 18 billion US dollars, up 13.1 per cent.
The report published Saturday by the official news agency Xinhua said that arrivals from South Korea were up 30 per cent in the first half of 2007, while arrivals from India and Russia rose by around 16 per cent.
Arrivals from Australia, Britain, Canada, France, Germany, Indonesia, Japan, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore and the United States also registered growth of more than 10 per cent.
Beijing is expecting to welcome 500,000 overseas visitors during the 2008 Summer Games from August 8-24 next year. - AFP/ac

Hackers click locks open at conference in US
Hackers gathered in Las Vegas on Saturday showed ways to crack electronic key-card systems and deadbolt locks used at security-sensitive places including the White House and the Pentagon.
"If you can't physically protect your computer, you are screwed," said Zac Franken, a hacker who engineered a way to outwit door locks relying on key cards.
"Most people think that computers inside buildings are secure. How many computers do you see left logged on at night?"
Franken's creation was among the real-world lock-cracking revelations made at the DefCon hackers conference, where a room is devoted to the "sport" of lock picking.
Medeco deadbolt locks relied on worldwide at embassies, banks and other tempting targets for thieves, spies or terrorists can be opened in seconds with a strip of metal and a thin screw driver, Marc Tobias of Security.org demonstrated for AFP.
"This is incredible; it's unreal," Tobias said while showing the ease with which the locks can breached.
"Medeco has one of the best designed locks in the world, but with this kind of attack it's all irrelevant."
US-based Medeco is owned by ASSA ABLOY Group, a Swedish conglomerate that describes itself as the world's leading manufacturer and supplier of locks. Medeco officials could not be reached for comment Saturday.
"This is not the only company," Tobias said. "There are lot of them; lots of deadbolts with similar weakness."
Tobias said he notified Medeco by email repeatedly during the past two months about cracking their deadbolt locks and hasn't gotten a reply.
Tobias says he refuses to publish details of "defeating" the locks because they are used in places ranging from homes, banks and jewelers to the White House and the Pentagon. He asked AFP not to disclose how it is done.
"This can cause a lot of trouble," Tobias said. "They need to fix this. If you have one of these on your house or wherever you'd better be concerned."
Franken is equally protective of the simple electronics he uses in a device that can be spliced into wires connecting key card readers to computer systems that control door locks on many businesses.
"The access control system is inherently insecure," Franken said. "I just walk up, pop off a cover held on by two screws, put my device in and we're away."
Easy targets for the "physical hack," involving manipulating hardware instead of computer software, are electronic key scanner pads at doors where workers step outside for cigarette breaks, according to Franken.
Once the device is spliced into place, encoded cards can be used to command it to replay the last valid entry code or have the system deny access to people with legitimate cards, Franken demonstrated.
"Basically, I can now lock all the valid users out while I can still get in," Franken said. "There is no patch for this."
Tobias advocates for a "Hogwarts School for Reality," which like the fictional school of magic made famous in the "Harry Potter" novels would aim to inspire children to act creatively -- in this case by applying technology to security needs on and offline.
"It's no difference breaking into a lock or a computer," Tobias said.
"If you can get past locks you get to the computers. This is the real world; we need the real world Hogwarts." — AFP

Hackers, defenders target security, iPhones, MySpace and more
SAN FRANCISCO: Computer security wizards are gathering to share insights about threats ranging from cyber warfare to hacking Apple iPhones or MySpace website profile pages.
Briefings that begin Wednesday at the 11th annual Black Hat conference in Las Vegas include the potential to crack into Microsoft's new Vista operating system and the Apple Leopard operating system due out in October.
Black Hat organisers promise 20 new vulnerabilities in popular computer software will be unveiled along with an equal number of "tools", ways to launch attacks that take advantage of flaws in programmes.
"If researchers are talking about something, that gives you a glimpse into what the future holds," Black Hat founder Jeff Moss told AFP on Monday.
"A lot of companies and governments want to know what direction things are moving in and get ready for it."
While "Black Hat" in computer parlance refers to someone who hacks into systems, the conferees largely wear the white hats of security professionals and government officials.
US National Security Agency chief of vulnerability analysis Tony Sager will give an opening speech and federal "cyber cops" will led a forum on threats.
"A lot of things will be discussed at Black Hat," Moss said, citing "the changing nature of botnets and spam armies and how cyber warfare has been evolving during the past five years."
"Botnets" are legions of computers controlled by hackers that have infected them with malicious code, usually without owner knowledge.
Infected computers become "zombies," which hackers enlist in "spam armies" for online attacks. Gadi Evron, a US "security evangelist", will discuss the massive online attacks on Estonia earlier this year in what is referred to at the gathering as "the first Internet war".
Evron was part of a team that helped in the aftermath of the attacks. "As we saw in Estonia, cyber warfare is more sophisticated and coordinated," Moss said.
Black Hat seminars include a way to mine data and gain unrestricted access to pages on social networking websites such as MySpace and Flickr, according to organisers.
Researchers will detail vulnerabilities in Apple's iPhones, including a flaw in Safari web browsing software that opens the door to slipping malicious code into the devices.
"People will pay attention to iPhone for a while because it is an interesting new platform," Moss said.
"It is such a small percentage of the market compared to Windows that it seems people are doing it to make names for themselves."
Hot topics include ways to "weaponise media files" by embedding video or music downloads with software that lets hackers spy on users or take over their machines.
Similar themes are expected at an infamous gathering of hackers referred to as DefCon that starts in Las Vegas on Friday after Black Hat ends.
DefCon draws renegade software geniuses. The annual gathering is marking its 15th year and features hacking games, lock picking and alcohol-infused socialising along with seminars.
"If Black Hat is the university then DefCon is the frat party," said Moss, the founder of both events. - AFP/fa
Giant Panda gives birth to fourth cub in US zoo
SAN DIEGO - Bai Yun, a 16-year-old Giant Panda at the San Diego zoo, gave birth to her fourth cub Friday, only the fourth such event in the United States for the one of the world's most endangered species.
The birth took place at 1:30 pm (2030 GMT) after two-and-a-half hours of labour, the zoo said in a statement, only four days after it announced that Bai Yun was pregnant.
The gender of the new Panda will not be known until mother and cub separate long enough to allow veterinarians a quick check up of the tiny creature. The father of the Panda cub is Gao Gao, another giant panda at the zoo who mated with Bai Yun in April.
Bai Yun has already given birth to three Pandas at San Diego Zoo. Hua Mei, in 1999 became the first Panda born in captivity on US soil, followed by Mei Sheng and Su Lin, both sired by Gao Gao, in 2003 and 2005, respectively.
Panda births in captivity are a very rare occurrence.
The giant panda, China's most endearing symbol, lives mainly in the mountains of Sichuan, in western China.
Experts estimate that there are about 1,600 pandas living in the wild, and some 160 in captivity around the world. China has a long history of giving its national animal, the endangered panda, to other nations as a gesture of goodwill. - AFP /ls

Alonso penalized five places from pole after FIA ruling that McLaren broke the rules
BUDAPEST, Hungary (AP) -- Fernando Alonso was penalized five places from the pole position for the Hungarian Grand Prix after world motor sport's governing body ruled Saturday that McLaren had delayed his teammate Lewis Hamilton.
FIA also said that any points McLaren wins in Sunday's 70-lap Formula One race at the Hungaroring circuit will only count toward the driver standings -- and not the constructor championship.
Hamilton had questioned McLaren's tactics after a lengthy pit stop, resulting in McLaren team boss Ron Dennis, Alonso and Hamilton all being present at an investigation with FIA and race stewards.
FIA issued a statement at 2200 GMT detailing its ruling just one hour after the qualifying placings --with Alonso first and Hamilton second -- was officially sanctioned by the race stewards.
FIA's statement said that McLaren kept Alonso stationary for 20 seconds after the completion of a tire change and "therefore delayed Hamilton's own pit stop."
"The actions of the team in the final minutes of qualifying are considered prejudicial to the interests of the competition and to the interests of motor sport generally," the statement said. "The penalty to be applied is that such points (if any) in the Formula One constructors championship as accrue to the team as a result of their participation in the 2007 Hungarian Grand Prix will be withdrawn."
McLaren leads the constructor standings with 138 points to 111 for Ferrari.
Hamilton, who leads Alonso in the driver standings 70-68, will now take the pole. Nick Heidfeld of BMW-Sauber will move up to second and Kimi Raikkonen of Ferrari will start from third.
McLaren said it intends to appeal against the ban on earning constructor points. The team has 48 hours after the race to present its case to FIA's court of appeal. It cannot appeal Alonso's relegation.
Alonso, the two-time defending F1 champion, will start from sixth place on the grid instead of earning his 17th career pole. Hamilton claims his fourth pole in his rookie F1 season.
Hamilton said a delay in the pits -- when he was held up behind Alonso, who appeared to be waiting for no reason -- cost him a chance to make another attempt at a fast lap.
"(Alonso) was told to stop and wait. His wheels were on, the (wheel) blankets were off and he was told to wait," Hamilton said after qualifying. "I lost half a minute from my in-lap, coming to the last corner and waiting behind Fernando. It does need a good explanation."
TV replays showed Alonso waiting after the tire change at least 10 seconds after he was cleared to leave before he drove out. Hamilton was waiting behind him with 1 minute, 48 seconds left in qualifying.
"Because of the delay caused by Alonso, Hamilton was unable to complete his pit stop in time sufficient to enable him also to complete a flying lap," the statement said.
Alonso said he didn't intentionally delay Hamilton, but was only following team instructions in the pit.
"They do the calculations, they find the gaps and I just drive the car," Alonso said. "I'm always ready to go. As soon as they put on the tires, I go where I have to go. Every qualifying we do this stop and we wait. Sometimes 10 seconds, sometimes five, sometimes 45, as it was in the stop today."
Earlier this year, McLaren's tactics were questioned at the Monaco GP when Hamilton was told to "hold position" in second place behind Alonso rather than bid for victory as the McLarens went 1-2.
Dennis has previously said that his team is under extra pressure because of the rivalry between the two McLaren drivers.
"There are definite pressures in the team, we make no secret of it," Dennis said. "They are very competitive, they both want to win and we are doing our very hardest to balance out these pressures. ... Today, we were part of a process that didn't work and the end result is more pressure on the team."
Felipe Massa of Ferrari, who has had four poles this season and the fastest time in morning practice, finished 14th in qualifying in 1:21.021. His team had to scramble and push his car back to the garage before his final run after Massa had stopped in the pit lane.
"There was a misunderstanding over refueling and they let me go without fuel. That's why I stopped," Massa said.
Ferrari and McLaren have won all 10 races this season, with Alonso and Raikkonen having three wins apiece, and Hamilton and Massa getting two each.
Massa has 59 points for third place overall, with Raikkonen in fourth with 52 points.
McLaren and Ferrari are also embroiled in a bitter legal dispute concerning leaked information and sabotage.
The main dispute began when a 780-page technical dossier on Ferrari cars was found at the home of McLaren chief designer Mike Coughlan, who has since been suspended. The documents were allegedly supplied by Ferrari mechanic Nigel Stepney, who was fired.
