Ecotourism has been hailed as a sustainable economic driver and a force for environmental conservation, but a new report says we also need to account for the possible adverse effects of visitation to relatively wild spaces.
In a new report published in Trends in Ecology & Evolution, researchers said all of those interactions between wild animals and friendly ecotourists eager to snap their pictures may inadvertently put some animals at greater risk of being eaten.
It's clear that the ecotourism business is booming.
Leopold (1949) wrote about some of the harmful effects of ecotourism under the heading "recreation." Few people have heard of Leopold, or have enough respect for animals and nature to care.

'The rate of the recent drying in the Horn of Africa is unprecedented in the last 2,000 years …'
"The Horn of Africa, encompassing Somalia, Djibouti and Ethiopia, has been drying in sync with increases in global greenhouse gas emissions and could experience for frequent and intense droughts as global warming continues, scientists said after studying layers of sediments from the Gulf of Aden."

"SNIP: "Well-managed livestock grazing is compatible with sage-grouse conservation. The plan amendment did not close any grazing allotments or cut any AUMs. During the 10-year grazing permit renewals, management objectives will be put in place to protect habitat and rangeland health standards. These may include changes to the season of use, timing of use and number of livestock, among others. All grazing decisions will be made from the Elko District Office."
"Read this overview of the new sage grouse rules and you will see all the "wiggle room" in the new sage grouse regulatory rules and why all this hoopla about new regulations recovering sage grouse is mostly just happy talk. Most restrictions only apply to what are designated as "Primary Habitat Management Areas". Outside of these areas–even though they may contain sage grouse–usually no special restrictions will be applied. This will effectively shrink and fragment sage grouse habitat further, isolating populations and invariably leading to their continued decline."

In 1964, Donal Rusk Currey killed the oldest tree ever. It was a Bristlecone pine, and here's why they live so long
In the year (2012) this story appeared, an older Bristlecone pine was found.
Don Currey was studying historical climate change and did not know how old the tree was. At the time, no one did. Currey applied for permission from the U. S. Forest Service to cross-section the tree to count the annual growth rings. Two employees of the Forest Service assisted.
If we demonize Currey, we also demonize Charles Darwin and the thousands of other naturalists who have pursued, killed, and collected wild plants and animals around the world. (During a conference in 1980, a scientist at the Tree Ring Laboratory at the University of Arizona told me that he and others of his profession were thankful to Currey for guaranteeing that the Forest Service would provide annual funding to search for an older tree. In 2012, the search succeeded. Read the story here: http://bit.ly/1Mkmv7L.)
Throughout history, we have killed wild creatures in order to identify and study them. Natural scientists might argue that their few kills are insignificant compared to the numbers lost to hunting and other human activities. Centuries of research, however, have done little to benefit the plants and animals. Today, it is clear that despite our research, our history has indeed been that of the locust, destroying all in our efforts to satisfy our hunger for reproduction and growth. Though what Currey and the Forest Service employees did was standard practice at the time, I believe that today we must adjust our methods to avoid lethal science. With nature in a general free fall due to human impacts, we should begin to value every individual life. We should begin to value all life.

"Climate scientists agree that in order to prevent the worst consequences, global warming must be held to within 2 degrees Celsius. The pledges submitted so far will reduce emissions by about 60 gigatons compared to business as usual, but will limit temperature rise to only 3.5 degrees Celsius, according to Climate Interactive, the nonprofit tracking the progress of the global climate change movement.
"The pledges submitted so far are an encouraging sign that the Paris talks, unlike the unsuccessful ones in Copenhagen in 2009, will produce a binding climate treaty. The question now is how strong and ambitious the agreement will be.
"To be fair, these climate pledges are expected to be the starting point for these countries. As countries meet their targets in the coming years, they will review and revise them, potentially increasing the pace of emission reductions.
"Whether developing countries such as India commit to further emission reductions will depend on the assistance they receive from wealthier nations. So far, developed countries have pledged to provide about $10.2 billion in financing to poor nations through the Green Climate Fund, but that's nowhere close to what the developing countries say they need to adapt to climate change."

What's pulling the plug on the world's carbon sink? Geoff Gallice, CC BY
Oliver Phillips and Roel Brienen, The Conversation, March 18, 2015.
"Tropical forests are being exposed to unprecedented environmental change, with huge knock-on effects. In the past decade, the carbon absorbed annually by the Amazon rain forest has declined by almost a third.
"At 6m km2, the Amazon forest covers an area 25 times that of the UK, and spans large parts of nine countries. The region contains a fifth of all species on earth, including more than 15,000 types of tree. Its 300 billion trees store 20% of all the carbon in the Earth's biomass, and each year they actively cycle 18 billion tonnes of carbon, twice as much as is emitted by all the fossil fuels burnt in the world.
"The Amazon Basin is also a hydrological powerhouse. Water vapour from the forest nurtures agriculture to the south, including the biofuel crops which power many of Brazil's cars and the soybeans which feed increasing numbers of people (and cows) across the planet.
"What happens to the Amazon thus matters to the world. As we describe in research published in Nature, the biomass dynamics of apparently intact forests of the Amazon have been changing for decades now with important consequences."

Conservation policy and the measurement of forests http://t.co/nCjgkqaZSf
GR: Remote (satellite) sensing has been unable to map the extent of Earth's forests. Far better methods of forest mapping are available. On-the-ground surveys using the 1970 UNESCO vegetation classification would give us maps at much less cost, and the maps would include far more information than the satellite maps. Moreover, who minds strolling through the woods with a clipboard? NASA, park the rockets and buy some hiking boots. Do it now.
107 Wildlife Species Face Extinction in Kenyan Parks
Up to 107 of Kenya's wildlife species are slowly edging towards extinction with their numbers having more than halved in the past three decades, a new report says.
By using fossil data, researchers have found that the structure of ecological communities leading up to the Permian-Triassic Extinction, one of the largest drivers of biodiversity loss in history, is a key predictor of the ecological communities...
We are going to have to see further analyses of this type if we are to predict which communities might survive the human mass extinction.
"In 1986, after a fire and explosion at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant released radioactive particles into the air, thousands of people left the area, never to return. Now, researchers reporting in the Cell Press journal Current Biology on October 5 have found that the Chernobyl site looks less like a disaster zone and more like a nature preserve, teeming with elk, roe deer, red deer, wild boar, and wolves.
"The findings are a reminder of the resilience of wildlife. They may also hold important lessons for understanding the potential long-term impact of the more recent Fukushima disaster in Japan.
"It's very likely that wildlife numbers at Chernobyl are much higher than they were before the accident," says Jim Smith of the University of Portsmouth in the UK. "This doesn't mean radiation is good for wildlife, just that the effects of human habitation, including hunting, farming, and forestry, are a lot worse."
Other researchers have also reported that wildlife numbers are increasing around Chernobyl despite the prevalence of high radiation levels. Radiation sickness is less harmful than human presence.

DefenseNews reports: The site of an Army golf course named for US President Dwight Eisenhower, one long drive from the National Security Agency, is an active construction site, the future of US military cyber.
Where there were once bunkers, greens and tees is a large gray building due to become an NSA-run 600,000-square-foot, state-of-the-art server farm, a skeletal structure that will one day house US Cyber Command's joint operations center, with plots reserved for individual Marine Corps and Navy cyber facilities.
The plans reflect the growth in ambition, manpower and resources for the five-year-old US Cyber Command. One measure of this rapid expansion is the command's budget — $120 million at its inception in 2010 rising to $509 million for 2015.
Another measure is the $1.8 billion in construction at Fort Meade, much of it related to Cyber Command. Though Cyber Command's service components and tactical teams are spread across the country, the headquarters for Cyber Command, the NSA and Defense Information Systems Agency make Fort Meade a growing hub for military cyber.
Earlier this year, Defense Secretary Ash Carter announced a new cyber strategy that acknowledges in the strongest terms that the Pentagon may wage offensive cyber warfare. The strategy emphasizes deterrence and sets up a reliance on the commercial technology sector, hinging on a push to strengthen ties between Silicon Valley and the Pentagon. [Continue reading…]

Theft of Saudi documents suggests an Iranian hack
The Washington Post reports: The purported theft of confidential Saudi documents that have been released by WikiLeaks bears the hallmarks of Iranian hackers linked to cyberattacks in more than a dozen countries, including the United States, according to cybersecurity experts and Middle East analysts.
Last week, WikiLeaks published about 70,000 of what it said were half a million documents obtained from Saudi Arabia's Foreign Ministry. The transparency advocacy group promises more releases of the diplomatic cables, whose authenticity has not been independently verified.
Experts said that the cables, apparently stolen over the past year, paint an unflattering portrait of Saudi diplomacy as reliant on oil-wealth patronage and obsessed with Iran, the kingdom's chief rival, but appeared to contain no shocking revelations. [Continue reading…]
Why cyber war is dangerous for democracies
Moisés Naím writes: This month, two years after his massive leak of NSA documents detailing U.S. surveillance programs, Edward Snowden published an op-ed in The New York Times celebrating his accomplishments. The "power of an informed public," he wrote, had forced the U.S. government to scrap its bulk collection of phone records. Moreover, he noted, "Since 2013, institutions across Europe have ruled similar laws and operations illegal and imposed new restrictions on future activities." He concluded by asserting that "We are witnessing the emergence of a post-terror generation, one that rejects a worldview defined by a singular tragedy. For the first time since the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, we see the outline of a politics that turns away from reaction and fear in favor of resilience and reason."
Maybe so. I am glad that my privacy is now more protected from meddling by U.S. and European democracies. But frankly, I am far more concerned about the cyber threats to my privacy posed by Russia, China, and other authoritarian regimes than the surveillance threats from Washington. You should be too.

U.S. tried Stuxnet-style campaign against North Korea but failed
Reuters reports: The United States tried to deploy a version of the Stuxnet computer virus to attack North Korea's nuclear weapons program five years ago but ultimately failed, according to people familiar with the covert campaign.
The operation began in tandem with the now-famous Stuxnet attack that sabotaged Iran's nuclear program in 2009 and 2010 by destroying a thousand or more centrifuges that were enriching uranium. Reuters and others have reported that the Iran attack was a joint effort by U.S. and Israeli forces.
According to one U.S. intelligence source, Stuxnet's developers produced a related virus that would be activated when it encountered Korean-language settings on an infected machine.
But U.S. agents could not access the core machines that ran Pyongyang's nuclear weapons program, said another source, a former high-ranking intelligence official who was briefed on the program. [Continue reading…]
Here's what a cyber warfare arsenal might look like
Scientific American: The Pentagon has made clear in recent weeks that cyber warfare is no longer just a futuristic threat—it is now a real one. U.S. government agency and industry computer systems are already embroiled in a number of nasty cyber warfare campaigns against attackers based in China, North Korea, Russia and elsewhere. As a counterpoint, hackers with ties to Russia have been accused of stealing a number of Pres. Barack Obama's e-mails, although the White House has not formally blamed placed any blame at the Kremlin's doorstep. The Obama administration did, however, call out North Korea for ordering last year's cyber attack on Sony Pictures Entertainment.
The battle has begun. "External actors probe and scan [U.S. Department of Defense (DoD)] networks for vulnerabilities millions of times each day, and over 100 foreign intelligence agencies continually attempt to infiltrate DoD networks," Eric Rosenbach, assistant secretary for homeland defense and global security, testified in April before the U.S. Senate Committee on Armed Services, Subcommittee on Emerging Threats and Capabilities. "Unfortunately, some incursions — by both state and nonstate entities — have succeeded."
After years of debate as to how the fog of war will extend to the Internet, Obama last month signed an executive order declaring cyber attacks launched from abroad against U.S. targets a "national emergency" and levying sanctions against those responsible. Penalties include freezing the U.S. assets of cyber attackers and those aiding them as well as preventing U.S. residents from conducting financial transactions with those targeted by the executive order.

Cyberattacks alleged to be coming from Iran may be increasing — or diminishing
The New York Times reports: In the report, to be released Friday, Norse — which, like other cybersecurity firms, has an interest in portraying a world of cyberthreats but presumably little incentive in linking them to any particular country — traced thousands of attacks against American targets to hackers inside Iran.
The report, and a similar one from Cylance, another cybersecurity firm, make clear that Iranian hackers are moving from ostentatious cyberattacks in which they deface websites or simply knock them offline to much quieter reconnaissance. In some cases, they appear to be probing for critical infrastructure systems that could provide opportunities for more dangerous and destructive attacks.
But Norse and Cylance differ on the question of whether the Iranian attacks have accelerated in recent months, or whether Tehran may be pulling back during a critical point in the nuclear negotiations.
Norse, which says it maintains thousands of sensors across the Internet to collect intelligence on attackers' methods, insists that Iranian hackers have shown no signs of letting up. Between January 2014 and last month, the Norse report said, its sensors picked up a 115 percent increase in attacks launched from Iranian Internet protocol, or I.P., addresses. Norse said that its sensors had detected more than 900 attacks, on average, every day in the first half of March.
Cylance came to a different conclusion, at least for Iran's activities in the past few months, as negotiations have come to a head. Stuart McClure, the chief executive and founder of Cylance, which has been tracking Iranian hacking groups, said that there had been a notable drop in activity over the past few months, and that the groups were now largely quiet. [Continue reading…]
U.S. efforts to sabotage Iran's nuclear program continue in parallel with diplomacy
The New York Times reports: In late 2012, just as President Obama and his aides began secretly sketching out a diplomatic opening to Iran, American intelligence agencies were busy with a parallel initiative: The latest spy-vs.-spy move in the decade-long effort to sabotage Tehran's nuclear infrastructure.
Investigators uncovered an Iranian businessman's scheme to buy specialty aluminum tubing, a type the United States bans for export to Iran because it can be used in centrifuges that enrich uranium, the exact machines at the center of negotiations entering a crucial phase in Switzerland this week.
Rather than halt the shipment, court documents reveal, American agents switched the aluminum tubes for ones of an inferior grade. If installed in Iran's giant underground production centers, they would have shredded apart, destroying the centrifuges as they revved up to supersonic speed.
But if negotiators succeed in reaching a deal with Iran, does the huge, covert sabotage effort by the United States, Israel and some European allies come to an end?
"Probably not," said one senior official with knowledge of the program. In fact, a number of officials make the case that surveillance of Iran will intensify and covert action may become more important than ever to ensure that Iran does not import the critical materials that would enable it to accelerate the development of advanced centrifuges or pursue a covert path to a bomb.

The mysterious internet mishap that sent data for the UK's nuclear program to Ukraine
Quartz reports: The information superhighway got diverted last week when a Ukrainian internet service provider hijacked routes used by data heading for websites in the United Kingdom, according to a company that monitors and optimizes internet performance. The action could be a mere glitch — or something more sinister in an era of geopolitical cyber conflicts.
The issue at hand is the way disparate computer networks merge into the internet. The networks announce to one another which internet users — more technically, which IP addresses — they serve so that data can be routed accordingly; a US internet service provider might tell the world it can give you access to the Library of Congress, while one in Germany would say that it can reach BMW's main website.
Dyn, the company that noted the incident, keeps an eye on network traffic patterns. Doug Madory, the company's director of internet analysis, spotted something strange: Vega, a Ukranian internet service provider, had announced it was serving numerous IP addresses in the United Kingdom. Advertising the wrong addresses is called "route hijacking," and it is often a quickly-corrected mistake — for instance, an employee of an internet service provider makes a typo while typing into a router. In this case, the affected addresses included those operated by defense contractors Lockheed Martin and Thales, the UK Atomic Weapons Establishment, and the Royal Mail. [Continue reading…]
Cyber bomb threats and the hacking of geopolitics
The Soufan Group IntelBrief: The capability of nations and advanced criminal groups to engage in sophisticated cyber espionage and theft is nothing new; and the capability of these actors to impact components of critical infrastructure is also nothing new (the 2012 Saudi Aramco attack comes to mind). What is new is their willingness to actually launch attacks not for intelligence or commercial gain but to impact corporate or geopolitical decisions. Whether it's having its data stolen or even held hostage via malicious encryption, or having its operations and personnel threatened with physical violence and damage, corporations and governments will find the Age of the Cyber Bomb Threat to be as costly and frustrating as the age of counterterrorism and counter-violent extremism.
Much as in terrorism, cyber conflict runs the spectrum of ideology and motivation. And as with terrorism, cyber conflict's impact goes far beyond the point of attack. The ubiquity of the Internet means that anyone and everyone is a potential target—which is the point of all forms of terrorism. On December 21, 2014, unidentified attackers (assumed, rightly or wrongly, to be associated with North Korea) hacked into the non-operational computer systems of a functioning nuclear power plant in South Korea. The operator of the plant, Korea Hydro and Nuclear Power (KHNP), stated that at no time were plant operations at risk since those are on a closed and independent system, but that sensitive personnel and plant design data were stolen. In what will become the standard modus operandi for cyber bomb threats, the attackers threatened to destroy the plant if it wasn't shut down. The threat of additional cyber attacks will be paired with threats of physical attacks.
While North Korea could very well be behind the nuclear reactor hack as well as the Sony hack, so could a range of other actors, given that the malware tools are available online to anyone with sufficient expertise and knowledge of where to look. It is the lack of true certainty that makes cyber attacks so difficult to respond to with counter-attacks. IP addresses are misleading and the tools and the capabilities are widespread enough that "the usual suspects" are now too large to count. With the stakes so high and the public and private players so poorly accounted for, the risks of attacks once thought unlikely will increase with cascading repercussions. [Continue reading…]
Cyberwar on North Korea could be illegal
Shane Harris reports: North Korea's limited connection to the Internet was temporarily severed Monday, just three days after President Barack Obama promised a "proportional" response for what he said was Pyongyang's brazen hacking of Sony.
It's too soon to say whether the United States knocked the Hermit Kingdom offline, or persuaded China to do it, or whether the North Koreans did it to themselves. One hacktivist group appears to be taking responsibility for the denial-of-service strike that targeted mostly North Korean government-operated sites.
But the outage has raised the question of what that proportional response would look like, and whether it would be legal. [Continue reading…]
How hackers almost toppled the Sheldon Adelson gambling empire
Bloomberg Businessweek reports: Investigators from Dell SecureWorks working for [Sheldon Adelson's casino empire, Las Vegas] Sands have concluded that the February attack was likely the work of "hacktivists" based in Iran, according to documents obtained by Bloomberg Businessweek. The security team couldn't determine if Iran's government played a role, but it's unlikely that any hackers inside the country could pull off an attack of that scope without its knowledge, given the close scrutiny of Internet use within its borders. "This isn't the kind of business you can get into in Iran without the government knowing," says James Lewis, a senior fellow at the Center for Strategic and International Studies in Washington. Hamid Babaei, a spokesman for Iran's Permanent Mission to the United Nations, didn't return several phone calls and e-mails.
The perpetrators released their malware early in the morning on Monday, Feb. 10. It spread through the company's networks, laying waste to thousands of servers, desktop PCs, and laptops. By the afternoon, Sands security staffers noticed logs showing that the hackers had been compressing batches of sensitive files. This meant that they may have downloaded — or were preparing to download — vast numbers of private documents, from credit checks on high-roller customers to detailed diagrams and inventories of global computer systems. Michael Leven, the president of Sands, decided to sever the company entirely from the Internet.
It was a drastic step in an age when most business functions, from hotel reservations to procurement, are handled online. But Sands was able to keep many core operations functioning — the hackers weren't able to access an IBM (IBM) mainframe that's key to running certain parts of the business. Hotel guests could still swipe their keycards to get into their rooms. Elevators ran. Gamblers could still drop coins into slot machines or place bets at blackjack tables. Customers strolling the casino floors or watching the gondolas glide by on the canal in front of the Venetian had no idea anything was amiss.
Leven's team quickly realized that they'd caught a major break. The Iranians had made a mistake. Among the first targets of the wiper software were the company's Active Directory servers, which help manage network security and create a trusted link to systems abroad. If the hackers had waited before attacking these machines, the malware would have made it to Sands' extensive properties in Singapore and China. Instead, the damage was confined to the U.S. [Continue reading…]
Powerful, highly stealthy Linux trojan may have infected victims for years
Ars Technica reports: Researchers have uncovered an extremely stealthy trojan for Linux systems that attackers have been using to siphon sensitive data from governments and pharmaceutical companies around the world.
The previously undiscovered malware represents a missing puzzle piece tied to "Turla," a so-called advanced persistent threat (APT) disclosed in August by Kaspersky Lab and Symantec. For at least four years, the campaign targeted government institutions, embassies, military, education, research, and pharmaceutical companies in more than 45 countries. The unknown attackers—who are probably backed by a nation-state, according to Symantec—were known to have infected several hundred Windows-based computers by exploiting a variety of vulnerabilities, at least two of which were zero-day bugs. The malware was notable for its use of a rootkit that made it extremely hard to detect.
Now researchers from Moscow-based Kaspersky Lab have detected Linux-based malware used in the same campaign. Turla was already ranked as one of the top-tier APTs, in the same league as the recently disclosed Regin for instance. The discovery of the Linux component suggests it is bigger than previously thought and may presage the discovery of still more infected systems. [Continue reading…]
Cybersecurity unit drives Israeli Internet economy
Jeff Moskowitz reports: Over the summer, in the middle of a two-month-long Israeli-Palestinian war, representatives of some of the biggest names in tech crammed into the stairwell of a Tel Aviv skyscraper to wait out Hamas rocket fire. Wearing Sequoia Capital name tags and TechCrunch T-shirts, they squeezed against one another, passing the time by talking about the Paris startup scene and the success rate of Iron Dome, Israel's missile defense system.
They came to Tel Aviv for the demo day of a uniquely Israeli brand of startup incubator: one conducted by graduates of Israel Defense Forces Unit 8200 – the Israeli NSA. It was a fitting reminder of the close ties between Israel's Silicon Wadi (the nickname for Israel's startup ecosystem) and the country's military establishment.
The 8200 is the largest unit in the Israeli army. It's responsible for signals intelligence, eavesdropping and wiretapping, as well as advanced technical jobs and translating work. It is also widely acknowledged as producing a disproportionately high percentage of Israel's tech executives and startup founders, including the brains behind Check Point Software Technologies, NICE Systems, and Mirabilis (creator of the proto-instant messaging system ICQ) – three of the biggest Israeli tech companies. [Continue reading…]
Is Russia's cyberwar heating up amid new Cold War?
Moscow Times reports: A recent influx of reports about Russian electronic espionage activity has prompted fresh concerns that the Kremlin may be gunning for a cyberwar with the West.
Not everyone is convinced: Russian IT analysts interviewed by The Moscow Times were more inclined to blame the spike in attack reports on media hype and cybersecurity companies exploiting clients' fears.
But Russia's leading expert on domestic security services, Andrei Soldatov, said the pattern of the attacks indicated that the Russian government may be mounting a covert Internet offensive.
Experts could not say, however, whether heavy guns with the FSB electronic espionage agencies have been deployed.
"All government-linked attacks so far have been carried out by people on the market: the cyber-mercenaries," Soldatov, editor-in-chief of the Agentura.ru website, said Wednesday. [Continue reading…]
'Regin' malware comes from Western intelligence agency, say experts
The Guardian reports: Regin is the latest malicious software to be uncovered by security researchers, though its purpose is unknown, as are its operators. But experts have told the Guardian it was likely spawned in the labs of a western intelligence agency.
None of the targets of the Regin hackers reside on British soil, nor do any live in the US. Most victims are based in Russia and Saudi Arabia – 28% and 24% respectively.
Ireland had the third highest number of targets – 9% of overall detected infections. The infections lists doesn't include any "five eyes" countries – Australia, Canada, New Zealand, the UK and the US.
"We believe Regin is not coming from the usual suspects. We don't think Regin was made by Russia or China," Mikko Hypponen, chief research officer at F-Secure, told the Guardian. His company first spied Regin hiding on a Windows server inside a customer's IT infrastructure in Northern Europe.
Only a handful of countries are thought capable of creating something as complex as Regin. If China and Russia are ruled out, that would leave the US, UK or Israel as the most likely candidates. [Continue reading…]
U.S. firm helped the spyware industry build a potent digital weapon for sale overseas
Barton Gellman reports: CloudShield Technologies, a California defense contractor, dispatched a senior engineer to Munich in the early fall of 2009. His instructions were unusually opaque.
As he boarded the flight, the engineer told confidants later, he knew only that he should visit a German national who awaited him with an off-the-books assignment. There would be no written contract, and on no account was the engineer to send reports back to CloudShield headquarters.
His contact, Martin J. Muench, turned out to be a former developer of computer security tools who had long since turned to the darkest side of their profession. Gamma Group, the British conglomerate for which Muench was a managing director, built and sold systems to break into computers, seize control clandestinely, and then copy files, listen to Skype calls, record every keystroke and switch on Web cameras and microphones at will.
According to accounts the engineer gave later and contemporary records obtained by The Washington Post, he soon fell into a shadowy world of lucrative spyware tools for sale to foreign security services, some of them with records of human rights abuse.
Over several months, the engineer adapted Gamma's digital weapons to run on his company's specialized, high-speed network hardware. Until then CloudShield had sold its CS-2000 device, a multipurpose network and content processing product, primarily to the Air Force and other Pentagon customers, who used it to manage and defend their networks, not to attack others.
CloudShield's central role in Gamma's controversial work — fraught with legal risk under U.S. export restrictions — was first uncovered by Morgan Marquis-Boire, author of a new report released Friday by the Citizen Lab at the University of Toronto's Munk School of Global Affairs. He shared advance drafts with The Post, which conducted its own month-long investigation. [Continue reading…]
MonsterMind: Automated cyberwarfare
In "The most wanted man in the world," his feature article for Wired on Edward Snowden, James Bamford writes: The massive surveillance effort was bad enough, but Snowden was even more disturbed to discover a new, Strangelovian cyberwarfare program in the works, codenamed MonsterMind. The program, disclosed here for the first time, would automate the process of hunting for the beginnings of a foreign cyberattack. Software would constantly be on the lookout for traffic patterns indicating known or suspected attacks. When it detected an attack, MonsterMind would automatically block it from entering the country — a "kill" in cyber terminology.
Programs like this had existed for decades, but MonsterMind software would add a unique new capability: Instead of simply detecting and killing the malware at the point of entry, MonsterMind would automatically fire back, with no human involvement. That's a problem, Snowden says, because the initial attacks are often routed through computers in innocent third countries. "These attacks can be spoofed," he says. "You could have someone sitting in China, for example, making it appear that one of these attacks is originating in Russia. And then we end up shooting back at a Russian hospital. What happens next?"
In addition to the possibility of accidentally starting a war, Snowden views MonsterMind as the ultimate threat to privacy because, in order for the system to work, the NSA first would have to secretly get access to virtually all private communications coming in from overseas to people in the US. "The argument is that the only way we can identify these malicious traffic flows and respond to them is if we're analyzing all traffic flows," he says. "And if we're analyzing all traffic flows, that means we have to be intercepting all traffic flows. That means violating the Fourth Amendment, seizing private communications without a warrant, without probable cause or even a suspicion of wrongdoing. For everyone, all the time."

Where do I find these cases, you ask?
Well, I sold my soul, and a stack of Billy Ripken baseball cards, to the devil a long time ago. I ain't telling.
But seriously, this case isn't so much about the particular facts…
- White employee tosses banana peels at work
- Black employees complain of racism
- Investigation ensues
- White employee is forced to resign
…as it is about making sure that all involved know why an employee is being fired, and can articulate those reasons consistently. Continue reading

JERUSALEM, Israel -- Israel is working to build a "digital Iron Dome" to defend against increasing cyber-attacks, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said. The Iron Dome is Israel's anti-rocket defense system -- the first in the world to be able to shoot down short-range rockets.
"There are increasing attempts to carry out cyber-attacks on computer infrastructures in the State of Israel. Every day there are attempts, even many attempts, to infiltrate Israel's computer systems," Netanyahu told his cabinet on Sunday.
The prime minister said that's why he established the National Cyber Bureau.
"It is working to block these attempts by developing what I would call a 'digital Iron Dome' for Israel to defend against computer terrorism," Netanyahu said. "Just as we have Iron Dome against missiles and a security fence against infiltrators and terrorism -- we will have a similar defense against cyber-attacks.
"But like building the fence, time is needed to complete it, and we are working on it nonstop," he said.
Netanyahu's remarks come as U.S. intelligence officials say they are more and more convinced that Iran is perpetrating a wave of network attacks that hit the Saudi oil industry and breached American financial institutions, the International Herald Tribune reported.

Though he's currently preoccupied giving Hugh Jackman's Wolverine an appropriate swan song as the actor prepares to hang up his adamantium claws, James Mangold is already eyeing a very different kind of project. Deadline reports that the versatile helmer will tackle an adaptation of Chris Greenhalgh's Seducing Ingrid Bergman, possibly to be titled Blood and Champagne, about the heated love affair between actress Bergman and war photographer Robert Capa.
Set in 1945 in post-wwii Paris, the pic will focus on a pivotal time in the Casablanca actress' life; she would subsequently become a tabloid sensation after launching into an affair with director Roberto Rossellini.
Arash Amel (Grace of Monaco) wrote the script for the historical romance and will also produce.
Blood and Champagne takes the place of drama The Deep Blue Good-By on Mangold's priority list. That project, starring Christian Bale, was set to kick off production »

...and then there were three. Photographer Robert Capa has been a subject that Hollywood has been trying to crack for years. Michael Mann has had a long developing project about the man, Tom Hiddleston and Hayley Atwell were linked to another movie titled "Close Enough," but nothing has been heard about that one since 2013, and now James Mangold has a movie brewing. The Wrap reports that the filmmaker will direct "Seducing Ingrid Bergman." Penned by Arash Amel ("Grace Of Monaco"), the 2014 Black List script is based on the novel by Chris Greenhalgh, and follows Capa's romance with the famed actress. Here's the book synopsis: June 1945. When Ingrid Bergman walks into the lobby of the Ritz hotel in Paris, war photographer Robert Capa is enchanted. From the moment he slips a mischievous invitation to dinner under her door, the two find themselves helplessly attracted. Played out against the cafés and nightclubs of post-war Paris and the. »

James Mangold is a director who likes to hop among genres: he's tackled dramas of all stripes, Westerns, biopics and the superheroic likes of The Wolverine. He's blending a couple of those for a potential future project, lining up an adaptation of Chris Greenhalgh's book Seducing Ingrid Bergman.Arash Amel has written the script for the embryonic film, which chronicles the passionate, secretive romance between the iconic actress and noted war photographer Robert Capa in post-World War II Paris, just before the Cold War kicked in. The script has been floating around since at least 2013, and follows the period where Bergman's image began to shift from her wholesome earlier days to being denounced by the Us Senate for loose morals (truly something of an ironic juxtaposition, there.) According to Deadline, Mangold has wanted to call the eventual film Blood And Champagne, but he may not get his wish, »

Deadline reports that the 3:10 to Yuma and Walk the Line director will helm an adaptation of the Chris Greenhalgh book Seducing Ingrid Bergman, which revolves around a torrid love affair between Bergman and war photographer Robert Capa in post-wwii Paris.

You might remember "Grace of Monaco." A Grace Kelly biopic directed by Olivier Dahan ("La Vie en Rose") with Nicole Kidman in the lead and Tim Roth as her Prince Rainier, the film was picked up for distribution by The Weinstein Company and landed an opening night slot at the 2014 Cannes Film Festival. It seemed like a perfect combination of material and talent, and a possible awards player. But it ended up panned on the Croisette and destined for a premiere on the Lifetime television channel here in the Us. Earlier this week, the film's screenwriter, Arash Amel, took to Twitter to live-Tweet the Lifetime airing and, well, he had a lot to say. "The purpose of this live Tweet is to correct the record, an explanation, an apology and most of all a bit of lighthearted fun," he wrote, tagging each of his Tweets with the #GOMFacts hashtag. If »

Nicole Kidman's Grace Kelly biopic, "Grace of Monaco" has had a tumultuous journey to the screen: initially generating Oscar buzz after being picked up by the Weinstein Co. in 2013, before skipping theaters and eventually premiering on Lifetime on Memorial Day.
Set in 1962, the film takes place six years after Kelly married Prince Rainier III of Monaco, and finds the princess longing to return to her acting career. The film received a critical drubbing at its Cannes premiere in 2014, with Variety's Scott Foundas calling it a "cornball melodrama."
In an attempt to shed light on the film's behind-the-scenes turmoil, screenwriter Arash Amel live-tweeted the entire premiere.
"The purpose of this live tweet is to correct the record, an explanation, an apology and most of all a bit of light hearted fun," Amel tweeted. "Also consider this to be the writer's dvd commentary."

Yeah, that whole deal was for shit. It should have opened many eyes, but I really can't tell that it did. The real pisser is that the same crap could happen to you or me at any given time. That's not paranoia, that's reality! Actually I'm taking a chance just by bashing the bush cartel. Do a little research into that family, and you'll see what I mean. But, what the hell, I can't live forever anyway.<quoted text>
I think it was related to the election for sherriff that Randy Weaver lost in a close race. Immediately after that BATF agent Larry Potts arrives, generates fraudulent evidence to get the US Marshals and an FBI siper team involved, and the rest of the story is one of the most disgusting chapters in the history of our federal government... only to be exceeded a few months later by the same goddam BATF agent Larry Potts again inventing fraudulent evidence and getting 4 BATF agents killed and another 80 people burned to death.
I suspect the incumbent sherriff that squeaked by Randy Weaver in the election had some involvement in getting Larry Potts there.
Larry Potts should swing, that's for sure. Probably the local sherriff up there, too.
Prosecute the bush cartel/crime family

Thanks for the pics! They helped me decide not to buy this product. I thought the plastic was attached to the board and the LEDs were grown on the PCB, as in COBs. But your first photo shows every segment is epoxy encapsulated, so no use to me. I was going to use my own ultra-high intensity traffic-light green SMT LEDs, but this changes it all. Thanks again!
Seasoned wifi shield users: Is this board easier to use than the WiFly shield? I've been using the WiFly shield for some time now and it works great for me. Is this shield any better? Easier to configure, easier to make it work? Any thoughts on this? Thank you in advance.
Please, stock this in right angle and double row variants, please!
You're The Man, man!!
Another useful tool I want to buy but has been discontinued. Dang!
It seems that every time I find a product I'd love to buy from SparkFun, it has been discontinued/retired. This one has mostly positive reviews? Why retire it?
Wow! What an incomplete datasheet that one is! I mean, why do the manufacturer omits such relevant data as distance range of operation? 3m? 3ft? What? A mostly empty sheet with a nice pic of the module and a few bits of info in a corner. Wow. Just wow!
I'll join my voice to those asking for the White and Red versions. Painting this one just looks FUGLY.
Balance the needs of everyone, as per google translatorum.
Daaaaamn! Those watches are foine!!!
No public wish lists :(

LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla., August 14, 2009 – Entrepreneur Magazine's August issue names Orlando as one of the "Top 10 Best Cities to Start a Business" and gives kudos to the Disney Entrepreneur Center for its efforts in mentoring small-business owners and directing them to the right resources.
"We are unbelievably fortunate to have community leadership that is creative, open to partnerships, and willing to give a new idea or a new business an opportunity," says Jerry Ross, executive director of the Disney Entrepreneur Center.

ACE Fit Share
January 24, 2012
Right as calendars turned to 2012, many people criticized Children's Healthcare of Atlanta for its stark, alarming anti-childhood obesity print and video ad campaign. It called on Georgians, who have the second highest childhood obesity rate, to "Stop Sugarcoating [the epidemic]" — all by using overweight child actors as the messengers.
Watch one of the ads for yourself:
The estimated $50 million, five-year campaign — Strong4Life — has become controversial because critics say it's negative and further stigmatizes the children.
"Kids who are obese are too often shamed, ostracized and teased. And these ads target the children in a harsh and hopeless way," said Dr. Michael Mantell, ACE Senior Consultant for Behavioral Sciences. "[The ads] also offer bullies more ammunition."
These in-your-face ads may definitely get parents' attentions, but critics also say the print images and videos fail to communicate a clear solution.
"They offer no tools, hope, confidence or compassion," said Mantell.
ACE Senior Health Strategist, Dr. Adam Bordes, said that the health and fitness community needs to supply "easy-to-understand solutions geared toward helping people achieve their health and wellness goals, without guilting them."
Solutions-Oriented Resources
Citing a new scientific statement published Tuesday in Circulation: Journal of the American Heart Association, Mantell said that parental involvement — whether it be teaching healthy nutritional behavior, modeling increased physical activity or encouraging joint activity — is an essential ingredient to weight management.
An ad campaign showing parents and kids targeting their SMART (Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Relevant and Time-bound) goals together might have been more effective, Mantell suggests.
Children may be the easy targets of the childhood obesity epidemic since they physically carry the weight, but really, the burden to get fit and achieve positive results rests on all of us.

El Salvador's Anguish Lures Volunteer Back
By Alex Segura Jr. Staff Writer
August 1, 2001
An eight-hour flight swept her from the chaos that caked a nation plagued by natural disasters. It deposited her in the serene, sterile utopia of a South Florida grocery store. Dawn Card was in shock. She wanted to clear the aisles of canned goods, bagged bread and TV dinners. She wanted to ship them back to El Salvador, where food, microwave-able or not, was a rarity. After spending close to three years in El Salvador, a nation ravaged by earthquakes and poverty, to see so much at once was almost surreal for Card, who had returned to her home in Plantation last weekend to visit family.
Postal Workers` Group Travels To El Salvador
April 29, 1987
MIAMI -- A group of postal workers set out for El Salvador Tuesday in hopes of freeing two Salvadoran workers jailed on charges of murdering the president of a rival postal union. "They were jailed on the testimony of one person, a known police informant," said Bill Rayson, founder and East Coast coordinator of Postal Workers for Peace. He described the murder charges against the two men as "trumped up." Rayson, a letter carrier at Miami`s Buena Vista Post Office, said the group of 15 postal workers also would march in a Friday labor rally in San Salvador, the country`s capital.
El Salvador Deeply Split On Ways To End Insurrection
The New York Times
November 4, 1987
SAN SALVADOR, El Salvador -- Despite recent efforts to seek reconciliation under a new regional peace accord, El Salvador appeared as deeply polarized as ever on Tuesday. The country`s inability to find political answers to its long military conflict is a measure of the difficulties in applying the peace treaty signed by the presidents of the five major Central American states in August. Three days before effective measures to carry out the peace treaty are to be announced, El Salvador offers a gloomy portent for the future.
Duarte Calls Cease-fire In El Salvador
United Press International
November 6, 1987
SAN SALVADOR, El Salvador -- President Jose Napoleon Duarte, saying El Salvador has complied with a regional peace plan, on Thursday declared a unilateral cease-fire in the nation`s guerrilla war and announced an amnesty for political prisoners. In a nationally televised speech, Duarte said the cease-fire went into effect at noon on Thursday and demanded leftist rebels lay down their weapons. He said he ordered the military to halt all offensive actions, aerial bombings and the use of long-range artillery.
Justice Comes Late In El Salvador
October 2, 1991
After almost two years of judicial hide-and-seek, a jury in El Salvador has convicted an army colonel in the 1989 murder of six Jesuit priests, their cook and her 15-year-old daughter. By Salvadoran standards of justice, finding Col. Guillermo Alfredo Benavides responsible for the killings and a lieutenant guilty of killing the cook`s daughter is a monumental human rights breakthrough. No army officer has ever been found guilty of a crime against civilians. By more humane standards, however, the three-day trial created more questions than it answered.
Top Leftist Leader Risking Return To El Salvador
United Press International
September 25, 1987
SAN SALVADOR, El Salvador -- Ruben Zamora, a political leader of leftist guerrillas battling the U.S.-backed government, said Thursday he will return to El Salvador, making him the first rebel chief to try to work within the political system since the civil war began eight years ago. "It is true I have made the decision to return to El Salvador before Nov. 7," Zamora said by telephone from Managua, Nicaragua, where he lives in exile. "We have been gradually developing our political presence in El Salvador the past two years and feel now is the time I returned."
Some Villagers In El Salvador Still Mistrustful
By SHIRLEY CHRISTIAN, The New York Times
January 29, 1992
ARCATAO, El Salvador -- At first, Arcatao seemed empty or asleep, a setting waiting for the characters in a tropical novel to be introduced. Then signs of life became evident: women baking bread in the dark interior of an adobe building, four women at sewing machines in another, and in a corner of the plaza. a horse tethered to a post with men and boys gathered around. The crowd`s nervous anticipation as one of its number stepped forward to vaccinate the jittery horse seemed suggestive of the uncertainty facing Arcatao and other isolated villages in guerrilla territory as peace comes to El Salvador.
In El Salvador, Guns Finally Fall Silent
By ANA ARANA, Special to the Sun-Sentinel
February 2, 1992
The sign on the bulletin board at the Camino Real Hotel in San Salvador listed two events that day. FMLN breakfast. Diario de Hoy seminar. Simple enough. But only a few months ago, the two events would never have been held in the same place. In El Salvador, there was always a visceral polarization between the left and the right. FMLN is the Spanish acronym for the Marxist-led guerrillas of the Farabundo Marti National Liberation Front, which waged war against the right-wing government of El Salvador for 12 years.
Worried Friends, Family Flock To El Salvador
By ERIC ENGLISH, Staff Writer Staff writer Kurt Greenbaum contributed to this report
October 12, 1986
Flights to El Salvador from Miami International Airport were filled Saturday as dozens of South Florida residents sought passage to help friends and relatives in the earthquake-stricken country. "We want to bring them some help and some money," said Antonia Lopez of Miami. "Last night I called my relatives there, but could not get through. I can`t sleep. I need to see if they are all right." Lopez was one of about 30 people holding standby tickets for a flight to San Salvador on TACA International Airlines.
Peasants Aid Rebel Forces In El Salvador
By CHRIS NORTON, Special to the Sun-Sentinel
February 17, 1989
CERRO EL TIGRE, El Salvador -- Hidden under the dense foliage that shades the coffee bushes halfway up this towering volcano is a guerrilla explosives workshop. Half a dozen guerrillas, all men in their late twenties or early thirties except for a female radio operator, are working with an equal number of local peasants, making homemade hand grenades. By day`s end, more than fifty grenades lie neatly arranged on the ground. The grenades and other homemade weapons, including land mines, are among the weapons that have made the Marxist-led guerrilla army be recognized by U.S. military advisers as the best in Latin America.
