How common threats can make common (political) ground
So if you've been following the news, you've heard that there's a pack of giant asteroids headed for the United States, all scheduled to strike within the next 50 years. Now I don't mean actual asteroids made of rock and metal. That actually wouldn't be such a problem, because if we were really all going to die, we would put aside our differences, we'd spend whatever it took, and we'd find a way to deflect them. I'm talking instead about threats that are headed our way, but they're wrapped in a special energy field that polarizes us, and therefore paralyzes us.
Last March, I went to the TED conference, and I saw Jim Hansen speak, the NASA scientist who first raised the alarm about global warming in the 1980s, and it seems that the predictions he made back then are coming true. This is where we're headed in terms of global temperature rises, and if we keep on going the way we're going, we get a four- or five-degree-Centigrade temperature rise by the end of this century. Hansen says we can expect about a five-meter rise in sea levels. This is what a five-meter rise in sea levels would look like. Low-lying cities all around the world will disappear within the lifetime of children born today. Hansen closed his talk by saying, "Imagine a giant asteroid on a collision course with Earth. That is the equivalent of what we face now. Yet we dither, taking no action to deflect the asteroid, even though the longer we wait, the more difficult and expensive it becomes." Of course, the left wants to take action, but the right denies that there's any problem.
All right, so I go back from TED, and then the following week, I'm invited to a dinner party in Washington, D.C., where I know that I'll be meeting a number of conservative intellectuals, including Yuval Levin, and to prepare for the meeting, I read this article by Levin in National Affairs called "Beyond the Welfare State." Levin writes that all over the world, nations are coming to terms with the fact that the social democratic welfare state is turning out to be untenable and unaffordable, dependent upon dubious economics and the demographic model of a bygone era.
All right, now this might not sound as scary as an asteroid, but look at these graphs that Levin showed. This graph shows the national debt as a percentage of America's GDP, and as you see, if you go all the way back to the founding, we borrowed a lot of money to fight the Revolutionary War. Wars are expensive. But then we'd pay it off, pay it off, pay it off, and then, oh, what's this? The Civil War. Even more expensive. Borrow a lot of money, pay it off, pay it off, pay it off, get down to near zero, and bang! — World War I. Once again, the same process repeats. Now then we get the Great Depression and World War II. We rise to an astronomical level, around 118 percent of GDP, really unsustainable, really dangerous. But we pay it off, pay it off, pay it off, and then, what's this? Why has it been rising since the '70s? It's partly due to tax cuts that were unfunded, but it's due primarily to the rise of entitlement spending, especially Medicare. We're approaching the levels of indebtedness we had at World War II, and the baby boomers haven't even retired yet, and when they do, this is what will happen. This is data from the Congressional Budget Office showing its most realistic forecast of what would happen if current situations and expectations and trends are extended.
All right, now what you might notice is that these two graphs are actually identical, not in terms of the x- and y-axes, or in terms of the data they present, but in terms of their moral and political implications, they say the same thing. Let me translate for you.
"We are doomed unless we start acting now. What's wrong with you people on the other side in the other party? Can't you see reality? If you won't help, then get the hell out of the way."
We can deflect both of these asteroids. These problems are both technically solvable. Our problem and our tragedy is that in these hyper-partisan times, the mere fact that one side says, "Look, there's an asteroid," means that the other side's going to say, "Huh? What? No, I'm not even going to look up. No."
To understand why this is happening to us, and what we can do about it, we need to learn more about moral psychology. So I'm a social psychologist, and I study morality, and one of the most important principles of morality is that morality binds and blinds. It binds us into teams that circle around sacred values but thereby makes us go blind to objective reality.
Think of it like this. Large-scale cooperation is extremely rare on this planet. There are only a few species that can do it. That's a beehive. That's a termite mound, a giant termite mound. And when you find this in other animals, it's always the same story. They're always all siblings who are children of a single queen, so they're all in the same boat. They rise or fall, they live or die, as one. There's only one species on the planet that can do this without kinship, and that, of course, is us. This is a reconstruction of ancient Babylon, and this is Tenochtitlan.
Now how did we do this? How did we go from being hunter-gatherers 10,000 years ago to building these gigantic cities in just a few thousand years? It's miraculous, and part of the explanation is this ability to circle around sacred values. As you see, temples and gods play a big role in all ancient civilizations. This is an image of Muslims circling the Kaaba in Mecca. It's a sacred rock, and when people circle something together, they unite, they can trust each other, they become one. It's as though you're moving an electrical wire through a magnetic field that generates current. When people circle together, they generate a current. We love to circle around things. We circle around flags, and then we can trust each other. We can fight as a team, as a unit. But even as morality binds people together into a unit, into a team, the circling blinds them. It causes them to distort reality. We begin separating everything into good versus evil. Now that process feels great. It feels really satisfying. But it is a gross distortion of reality.
You can see the moral electromagnet operating in the U.S. Congress. This is a graph that shows the degree to which voting in Congress falls strictly along the left-right axis, so that if you know how liberal or conservative someone is, you know exactly how they voted on all the major issues. And what you can see is that, in the decades after the Civil War, Congress was extraordinarily polarized, as you would expect, about as high as can be. But then, after World War I, things dropped, and we get this historically low level of polarization. This was a golden age of bipartisanship, at least in terms of the parties' ability to work together and solve grand national problems. But in the 1980s and '90s, the electromagnet turns back on. Polarization rises. It used to be that conservatives and moderates and liberals could all work together in Congress. They could rearrange themselves, form bipartisan committees, but as the moral electromagnet got cranked up, the force field increased, Democrats and Republicans were pulled apart. It became much harder for them to socialize, much harder for them to cooperate. Retiring members nowadays say that it's become like gang warfare. Did anybody notice that in two of the three debates, Obama wore a blue tie and Romney wore a red tie? Do you know why they do this? It's so that the Bloods and the Crips will know which side to vote for. (Laughter)
The polarization is strongest among our political elites. Nobody doubts that this is happening in Washington. But for a while, there was some doubt as to whether it was happening among the people. Well, in the last 12 years it's become much more apparent that it is. So look at this data. This is from the American National Elections Survey. And what they do on that survey is they ask what's called a feeling thermometer rating. So, how warm or cold do you feel about, you know, Native Americans, or the military, the Republican Party, the Democratic Party, all sorts of groups in American life. The blue line shows how warmly Democrats feel about Democrats, and they like them. You know, ratings in the 70s on a 100-point scale. Republicans like Republicans. That's not a surprise. But when you look at cross-party ratings, you find, well, that it's lower, but actually, when I first saw this data, I was surprised. That's actually not so bad. If you go back to the Carter and even Reagan administrations, they were rating the other party 43, 45. It's not terrible. It drifts downwards very slightly, but now look what happens under George W. Bush and Obama. It plummets. Something is going on here. The moral electromagnet is turning back on, and nowadays, just very recently, Democrats really dislike Republicans. Republicans really dislike the Democrats. We're changing. It's as though the moral electromagnet is affecting us too. It's like put out in the two oceans and it's pulling the whole country apart, pulling left and right into their own territories like the Bloods and the Crips.
Now, there are many reasons why this is happening to us, and many of them we cannot reverse. We will never again have a political class that was forged by the experience of fighting together in World War II against a common enemy. We will never again have just three television networks, all of which are relatively centrist. And we will never again have a large group of conservative southern Democrats and liberal northern Republicans making it easy, making there be a lot of overlap for bipartisan cooperation. So for a lot of reasons, those decades after the Second World War were an historically anomalous time. We will never get back to those low levels of polarization, I believe.
But there's a lot that we can do. There are dozens and dozens of reforms we can do that will make things better, because a lot of our dysfunction can be traced directly to things that Congress did to itself in the 1990s that created a much more polarized and dysfunctional institution. These changes are detailed in many books. These are two that I strongly recommend, and they list a whole bunch of reforms. I'm just going to group them into three broad classes here.
So if you think about this as the problem of a dysfunctional, hyper-polarized institution, well, the first step is, do what you can so that fewer hyper-partisans get elected in the first place, and when you have closed party primaries, and only the most committed Republicans and Democrats are voting, you're nominating and selecting the most extreme hyper-partisans. So open primaries would make that problem much, much less severe.
But the problem isn't primarily that we're electing bad people to Congress. From my experience, and from what I've heard from Congressional insiders, most of the people going to Congress are good, hard-working, intelligent people who really want to solve problems, but once they get there, they find that they are forced to play a game that rewards hyper-partisanship and that punishes independent thinking. You step out of line, you get punished. So there are a lot of reforms we could do that will counteract this.
For example, this "Citizens United" ruling is a disaster, because it means there's like a money gun aimed at your head, and if you step out of line, if you try to reach across the aisle, there's a ton of money waiting to be given to your opponent to make everybody think that you are a terrible person through negative advertising.
But the third class of reforms is that we've got to change the nature of social relationships in Congress. The politicians I've met are generally very extroverted, friendly, very socially skillful people, and that's the nature of politics. You've got to make relationships, make deals, you've got to cajole, please, flatter, you've got to use your personal skills, and that's the way politics has always worked. But beginning in the 1990s, first the House of Representatives changed its legislative calendar so that all business is basically done in the middle of the week. Nowadays, Congressmen fly in on Tuesday morning, they do battle for two days, then they fly home Thursday afternoon. They don't move their families to the District. They don't meet each other's spouses or children. There's no more relationship there. And trying to run Congress without human relationships is like trying to run a car without motor oil. Should we be surprised when the whole thing freezes up and descends into paralysis and polarization? A simple change to the legislative calendar, such as having business stretch out for three weeks and then they get a week off to go home, that would change the fundamental relationships in Congress.
So there's a lot we can do, but who's going to push them to do it? There are a number of groups that are working on this. No Labels and Common Cause, I think, have very good ideas for changes we need to do to make our democracy more responsive and our Congress more effective.
But I'd like to supplement their work with a little psychological trick, and the trick is this. Nothing pulls people together like a common threat or a common attack, especially an attack from a foreign enemy, unless of course that threat hits on our polarized psychology, in which case, as I said before, it can actually pull us apart. Sometimes a single threat can polarize us, as we saw. But what if the situation we face is not a single threat but is actually more like this, where there's just so much stuff coming in, it's just, "Start shooting, come on, everybody, we've got to just work together, just start shooting." Because actually, we do face this situation. This is where we are as a country.
So here's another asteroid. We've all seen versions of this graph, right, which shows the changes in wealth since 1979, and as you can see, almost all the gains in wealth have gone to the top 20 percent, and especially the top one percent. Rising inequality like this is associated with so many problems for a democracy. Especially, it destroys our ability to trust each other, to feel that we're all in the same boat, because it's obvious we're not. Some of us are sitting there safe and sound in gigantic private yachts. Other people are clinging to a piece of driftwood. We're not all in the same boat, and that means nobody's willing to sacrifice for the common good. The left has been screaming about this asteroid for 30 years now, and the right says, "Huh, what? Hmm? No problem. No problem."
Now, why is that happening to us? Why is the inequality rising? Well, one of the largest causes, after globalization, is actually this fourth asteroid, rising non-marital births. This graph shows the steady rise of out-of-wedlock births since the 1960s. Most Hispanic and black children are now born to unmarried mothers. Whites are headed that way too. Within a decade or two, most American children will be born into homes with no father. This means that there's much less money coming into the house. But it's not just money. It's also stability versus chaos. As I know from working with street children in Brazil, Mom's boyfriend is often a really, really dangerous person for kids.
Now the right has been screaming about this asteroid since the 1960s, and the left has been saying, "It's not a problem. It's not a problem." The left has been very reluctant to say that marriage is actually good for women and for children. Now let me be clear. I'm not blaming the women here. I'm actually more critical of the men who won't take responsibility for their own children and of an economic system that makes it difficult for many men to earn enough money to support those children. But even if you blame nobody, it still is a national problem, and one side has been more concerned about it than the other. The New York Times finally noticed this asteroid with a front-page story last July showing how the decline of marriage contributes to inequality.
We are becoming a nation of just two classes. When Americans go to college and marry each other, they have very low divorce rates. They earn a lot of money, they invest that money in their kids, some of them become tiger mothers, the kids rise to their full potential, and the kids go on to become the top two lines in this graph. And then there's everybody else: the children who don't benefit from a stable marriage, who don't have as much invested in them, who don't grow up in a stable environment, and who go on to become the bottom three lines in that graph.
So once again, we see that these two graphs are actually saying the same thing. As before, we've got a problem, we've got to start working on this, we've got to do something, and what's wrong with you people that you don't see my threat?
But if everybody could just take off their partisan blinders, we'd see that these two problems actually are best addressed together. Because if you really care about income inequality, you might want to talk to some evangelical Christian groups that are working on ways to promote marriage. But then you're going to run smack into the problem that women don't generally want to marry someone who doesn't have a job. So if you really care about strengthening families, you might want to talk to some liberal groups who are working on promoting educational equality, who are working on raising the minimum wage, who are working on finding ways to stop so many men from being sucked into the criminal justice system and taken out of the marriage market for their whole lives.
So to conclude, there are at least four asteroids headed our way. How many of you can see all four? Please raise your hand right now if you're willing to admit that all four of these are national problems. Please raise your hands. Okay, almost all of you.
Well, congratulations, you guys are the inaugural members of the Asteroids Club, which is a club for all Americans who are willing to admit that the other side actually might have a point. In the Asteroids Club, we don't start by looking for common ground. Common ground is often very hard to find. No, we start by looking for common threats because common threats make common ground.
Now, am I being naive? Is it naive to think that people could ever lay down their swords, and left and right could actually work together? I don't think so, because it happens, not all that often, but there are a variety of examples that point the way. This is something we can do. Because Americans on both sides care about the decline in civility, and they've formed dozens of organizations, at the national level, such as this one, down to many local organizations, such as To The Village Square in Tallahassee, Florida, which tries to bring state leaders together to help facilitate that sort of working together human relationship that's necessary to solve Florida's problems. Americans on both sides care about global poverty and AIDS, and on so many humanitarian issues, liberals and evangelicals are actually natural allies, and at times they really have worked together to solve these problems. And most surprisingly to me, they sometimes can even see eye to eye on criminal justice. For example, the incarceration rate, the prison population in this country has quadrupled since 1980. Now this is a social disaster, and liberals are very concerned about this. The Southern Poverty Law Center is often fighting the prison-industrial complex, fighting to prevent a system that's just sucking in more and more poor young men. But are conservatives happy about this? Well, Grover Norquist isn't, because this system costs an unbelievable amount of money. And so, because the prison-industrial complex is bankrupting our states and corroding our souls, groups of fiscal conservatives and Christian conservatives have come together to form a group called Right on Crime. And at times they have worked with the Southern Poverty Law Center to oppose the building of new prisons and to work for reforms that will make the justice system more efficient and more humane.
So this is possible. We can do it. Let us therefore go to battle stations, not to fight each other, but to begin deflecting these incoming asteroids. And let our first mission be to press Congress to reform itself, before it's too late for our nation.
Thank you. (Applause)
If an asteroid were headed for Earth, we'd all band together and figure out how to stop it, just like in the movies, right? And yet, when faced with major, data-supported, end-of-the-world problems in real life, too often we retreat into partisan shouting and stalemate. Jonathan Haidt shows us a few of the very real asteroids headed our way — some pet causes of the left wing, some of the right — and suggests how both wings could work together productively to benefit humanity as a whole.
Jonathan Haidt studies how — and why — we evolved to be moral and political creatures.

Topic: Time to introduce myself
Hi All,
I've been watching and reading this site for about a year now. I guess it's about time I introduce myself and John.
My name is Alice and John is my ex-husband. We've been back together for twenty-one years.
John was diagnoised with cc in march 06 after having his gallbladder out. Previous to the surgery John had severe pain in has side and back. He went to the emergency room thinking it was a appendicitis. They couldn't find anything but a hemangiomia and it was nothing to worry about. That was about a year before the correct diagnosis. When the surgeon was removing the gallbladder he decided to check the liver and did a biopsey.
We ended up at The University of Arkansas Cancer Research Center. John started a clinical trial for Sorafenib. It proved disasterious. John was in intensive care for two weeks on a ventilator. The doctors said they almost lost him three times. So much for trial drugs. After he was strong enough he started a combination of gemzar and oxaliplatin. after two runs of this he was switched to xeloda. After four two week treatments the last one was cut short due to hand and foot syndrome. We had a ct scan yesterday, bad news all tumors have increased in size and he has jaundice. January 2 and 3 we will be going back to our original chemo treatment. Hopefuly this will shrink the tumors and relieve the jaundice.
Sorry this has been so long but alot has happened.

Nice work!
I got Nessus 3.0.6 and the Nessus 3.0 beta5 GUI Client working very nicely on BackTrack2, so I would like to share with you guys how to install it and build a module for it. I am a real Linux newbie, and BackTrack2 is probably the first distro that I am seriously experimenting with(and it was damn good choice), so go easy :-)
EDIT: This tutorial has been updated to use the beta5 version of the Nessus client
Installing Nessus
1. Download Nessus and the Nessus client, they can be found at http://www.nessus.org/download/index.php, you need to register download Nessus. You MUST register with a valid e-mail address in order to get plugin updates.
You should have the following files:
You should NOT have any other RPM's. They will not work! These packages are distro version specific and as far as I know, these distro versions(FC5 and RHELES4) are the only ones that work on BT2.
2. Convert the RPMs
3. Run pkgtool in the same directory where you converted the RPM'sCode:rpm2tgz Nessus-3.0.6-fc5.i386.rpm rpm2tgz NessusClient-3.0.0.beta5-es4.i386.rpm
4. From the pkgtool menu, choose Current(Install packages from the current directory) and follow the steps to install Nessus and the Nessus clientCode:pkgtool
5. Pkgtool(I don't know if it supposed to or not) does not add the library links in ld.so.conf, so we are going to have to add them manually, as follows:
6. Were not done yet! We need to make some symlinks for libcrypto and libssl versions that Nessus and the Nessus client require, as follows:Code:vi /etc/ld.so.conf add a new line, and enter the following /opt/nessus/lib save and close ldconfig
EDIT: At this point, you might want to run ldconfig for good measureCode:cd /usr/lib ln -s libcrypto.so libcrypto.so.4 //client ln -s libcrypto.so libcrypto.so.6 //nessus ln -s libssl.so libssl.so.4 ln -s libssl.so libssl.so.6
7. The bin paths do not get added to the path variable($PATH) so need to add the paths as follows:
You MUST edit /etc/profile in order to make the paths stick, locate the PATH line and add /opt/nessus/bin and /opt/nessus/sbin. It should look something like this:Code:export PATH=$PATH:/opt/nessus/sbin:/opt/nessus/bin:
You should be able to run nessus nowCode:PATH="/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/usr/local/apache/bin:/usr/local/pgsql/bin:/opt/mono/bin:/usr/local/pgsql/bin:/opt/nessus/bin:/opt/nessus/sbin:."
8. To fix the Nessus Client menu icon, open /usr/share/applications/NessusClient.desktop with your text editor of choice and edit the following line as follows:
Building a Nessus moduleCode:Icon=/usr/share/pixmaps/NessusClient.png
1. Follow steps 1 and 2 above.
2. Once you have converted the RPM's, create a directory for the Nessus installation files.
I am going to use /tmp/nessus-220.127.116.11 and /tmp/nessusclient-3.0.0b5 for this example.Code:mkdir <dir/path>
3. Run installpkg to copy the installation files to the directory that you created above. The '-root' switch is very important, it redirects the package installation to the directory that you created in the previous step.
You can delete the var directory that installpkg creates.Code:installpkg -root /tmp/nessus-126.96.36.199 Nessus-3.0.6-fc5.i386.rpm installpkg -root /tmp/nessusclient-3.0.0b5 NessusClient-3.0.0.beta5-es4.i386.rpm
You should have the following directory structure:
4. Now we need to create the symlinks needed by nessus and the nessus client, see step 7 above:Code:/tmp/nessus-220.127.116.11 -opt -etc /tmp/nessusclient-3.0.0b5 -opt -usr
5. If you wish, fix the menu icon for the Nessus client, see step 9 above.Code:Nessus: cd /tmp/nessus-184.108.40.206 mkdir usr mkdir usr/lib cd usr/lib ln -s /usr/lib/libcrypto.so libcrypto.so.6 ln -s /usr/lib/libssl.so libssl.so.6 Client cd /tmp/nessusclient-3.0.0b5 mkdir usr/lib cd usr/lib ln -s /usr/lib/libcrypto.so libcrypto.so.4 ln -s /usr/lib/libssl.so libssl.so.4
6. Create your module using either the 'Build SLAX module' from the Konqueror context menu or dir2lzm .
7. When you boot up BT with the module, the lib path is added to /etc/ld.so.conf, however it seems that ldconfig runs before this happens so you MUST run ldconfig again BEFORE running Nessus.
8. The /opt/nessus/sbin path does not get added to the path variable($PATH) so you need to add the path as follows, in order to run the Nessus daemon:Code:make sure the path is in ld.so.conf cat /etc/ld.so.conf look for /opt/nessus/lib ldconfig
You should be able to run Nessus now...Code:export PATH=PATH$:/opt/nessus/sbin:
Follow The_Captain's how-to or for a basic configuration, run the following:
EDIT: Here is a quick start/stop/restart script that I put together:Code:cd /opt/nessus/sbin nessus-mkcert nessus-add-first-user nessusd -D
Last but not least, check your e-mail for the Nessus plugin feed code. This will allow you to register Nessus and update the plugins. You should receive and e-mail from them with a code. Register Nessus as follows:Code:#!/bin/sh clear nessusBasePath=/opt/nessus test -x $nessusBasePath/sbin/nessusd || { echo "Unable to locate the Nessus daemon(nessusd), Nessus may not be installed correctly!" exit 1 } getPid() { if test -f $nessusBasePath/var/nessus/nessusd.pid; then echo $(cat $nessusBasePath/var/nessus/nessusd.pid) else echo 0 fi } start() { if [ $(getPid) != 0 ]; then echo "The Nessus daemon has already been started!" exit 1 fi echo "Starting the Nessus daemon..." $nessusBasePath/sbin/nessusd -D sleep 4 nessusdPID=$(getPid) if [ $nessusdPID != 0 ]; then echo "nessusd PID:" $nessusdPID echo "The Nessus daemon had been started" exit 1 else echo "Failed to start the Nessus daemon!" exit 1 fi } stop() { echo "Stopping the Nessus daemon..." nessusdPID=$(getPid) if [ $nessusdPID != 0 ]; then echo "Killing PID:" $nessusdPID kill $nessusdPID echo "The Nessus daemon has been stopped" return 0 else echo "Failed to stop the Nessus daemon!" exit 1 fi } restart() { stop sleep 4 start } case $1 in start) start ;; stop) stop ;; restart) restart ;; *) echo "Usage $0 {start|stop|restart}" exit 1 esac
Where XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX is your feed code. They usually include the command in the e-mail so all you have to do is copy and paste.Code:/opt/nessus/bin/nessus-fetch --register XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX
Just a quick note, I ran BT off of a USB drive on a machine that had 256MB RAM, and after starting nessusd, X would partially start and then hang, killing the nessusd process solved the problem. It looks like nessus is a bit of a memory hog, so if you plan on using nessus and the nessus GUI client, make sure the machine that you are using has 512+ MB RAM.
Thanks for your post, that was helpful..
Learn to live, but live to learn, eh?
Very good elazar..moving to the tutorial section. Keep up the good work.

Known by its customers as one of the best providers of third-party logistics services, States Logistics Services, Inc. has grown to accommodate more than 100 customers and over two million square feet of warehouse space company-wide. Since the company's inception, the vision to provide outstanding services to a wide variety of industries in Southern California and Arizona has expanded to include a significant focus on sustainability opportunities that reduce the impact of the company on the environment. Their vision of sustainability is employed in daily operations and procedures, and has expanded to include environmentally-conscious building development. The commitment to green building is showcased in their first LEED registered facility, which is anticipated to achieve Silver level certification through the U.S. Green Building Council's LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) Rating System for New Construction.
States Logistics Services' new sustainable facility provides office and warehouse space to serve the growing warehousing, transportation, and packaging needs of Arizona. The 417,000 square foot facility has multiple environmentally-responsible facets including design, construction, and operations. Green operations include an extensive corporate recycling program, buying regional products and materials to support local businesses. and raising sustainability consciousness within the staff.
As a major supplier of packaging services, States Logistics Services, Inc. recognizes the benefits of reducing waste sent to landfills and reducing transportation of products and materials. This is one of the company values that led to the use of building products and materials with recycled content sourced from local providers. Steel, a material having high post-consumer and pre-consumer recycled content, was used extensively for the skin and structure. It enabled long roof spans which were needed for the open floor plan. Additional specified materials having recycled content include miscellaneous metal frames and doors and acoustical ceiling tile made from old ceiling tiles and mineral fibers.
To reduce the amount of transportation energy required to deliver building materials and products, the new facility incorporates products sourced from local providers within 375 miles of the project site (LEED credit requires that they be within 500 miles of the project site). The combination of locally-specified paving material, landscaping material, rebar and concrete represented over 45 percent of the project's materials value. This significant achievement exceeds the requirements of LEED by over 20 percent, and that allowed the project to apply for an Innovation and Design credit. The company's desire to reduce the negative impact of long-distance transport of building materials and products is a natural extension of their expertise in efficient transportation, which includes regional service areas and utilizing alternative fuel products.
The use of highly efficient energy systems to operate and maintain the new facility was a goal arising from the project's simple program and energy use requirements. As straightforward structures with low energy use relative to other building types, warehouses have the potential for unique opportunities in saving energy. Lighting for the warehouse space includes efficient T-8 lamps aided by 156 skylights for an extremely efficient overall warehouse lighting power density of 0.6 W/sf. Additional efficiency is also achieved through occupancy sensors that automatically turn off lights between pick rows when there is no activity.
The large roof area of the new facility provides an optimal, secure location for a photovoltaic (PV) system. The clean, inexhaustible power from PV can offset significant amounts of a building's energy use. States Logistics has installed a 217 kW PV system that is expected to produce over 453,000 kWh per year – almost 30% of its annual power needs. The system is easy to maintain, does not produce air pollution, and does not require the use of fuel or hazardous resources to operate. The combination of a good lighting design and a substantial photovoltaic system is expected to produce an annual utility savings of $70,000 for the new facility and reduce nearly 95 tons each year in its carbon footprint.
During the process of preparing to submit their LEED project, States Logistics Services, Inc. exceeded their original environmental goals, not only by adding systems that increased the LEED point total but by providing education along the way. Part of that process, which has continued into the occupancy phase, has been to raise awareness of environmentally-friendly building strategies and systems among the design and construction teams, the company staff and the greater community.
Strong corporate dedication plus design and construction expertise have resulted in a world-class sustainable warehouse building which is both built and operated in an environmentally-conscious manner.

Recently, I started using CONSTANTS in my website, and so far they have been a welcome addition.
But now I am seeing one downside which I'll describe in a minute...
In my "change-details.php" script, I have one constant called BIO_MAX which defines the number of characters Users can use to describe themselves...
if ($bioLength <= BIO_MAX){
// Valid Bio.
// Continue processing...
// Invalid Bio.
$errors['bio'] = "Your Bio cannot exceed " . BIO_MAX . " characters. "
. "Your answer is " . number_format($bioLength) . " characters.";
I was thinking of using this same coding style for the rest of my "User Profile" form, however, here is a "catch" that makes me wonder if Constants are such a good idea in a place like this after all...
In my database, I defined "user-bio" as VARCHAR(1024), so, if I only ever want to make this field smaller, then only having to update ONE CONSTANT is great.
However, the minute I forget about the Database, and accidentally give my long-winded Users 2,048 Characters - via BIO_MAX - to describe themselves, then all of that extra text will be lost?!
Some of you will say, "Well, Debbie, just don't forget!!" To which I'd say, "Program so you don't have to remember!"
My thinking is this...
Constants are great, but to assign a Field-Length Constant to every field in my "User Details" page might cause more headaches than just hard-coding field lengths.
There are Pros and Cons to each approach.
What do you think about the scenario I just described?
That it has nothing to do with Constants... You could hard code the value of it and you have the same problem, but in all reality, it isn't really a problem. If you open up the limit without altering the database, you'll get a truncation error when you try to insert a value that exceeds the column size.
If you test each change (like you should), you'll discover this issue and fix it before it goes live. Even if you don't get a truncation error, if you test (like you should), you should see the truncation occurring. Either way, this isn't an issue with how you coded things, it is an issue if you fail to test your changes properly.
Perhaps the question is "how can I link my PHP code restraint (string length) dynamically to my database schema so that it only exists in one place?".
I dunno.
Sounds like you have an idea...
Not one that I would ever take seriously! That seems like a lot of overhead to me, I just don't buy that as a good solution. I don't know though, maybe there are people out there that do this, I for one wouldn't.
Seems like a rather harsh response.
When I remove the restrictions from my Form and enter a value which is too big, I get a success message, butt hings get truncated off. (No INSERT errors.)
One main reason for "config.php" script is that it allows me to tweak things "on-the-fly". So while I do test things, the very nature of my "config.php" script kind of goes against formal testing.
(I suppose down the road I could build a "Preferences Form" which takes my Constants and reconciles them against my Database, but that won't happen this go round...)
Also, my bigger point was, "Is there a benefit to associating a Constant with tons of Field Lengths, versus just a few obvious ones (e.g. "Bio Length", "Private Message Length", etc.)??"
Do you disagree that it is a lack of testing issue?
You likely don't have a few settings enabled that would offer this functionality.
No it doesn't... That's an excuse for not wanting to test you alteration properly. From what I recall, I thought you used to be in QA? If a dev altered a configuration that was used in 6 parts of an application, would you not test all 6 parts and a few outside of those? You would. How is your own personal app any different?
I make many changes each and every day, I also look at what my changes will likely impact, what they shouldn't impact, and I hand that information off to our BA so she can ensure that what I think will be affected agree with what the requirements show or if there are things I found that they didn't know about, they can react to those accordingly.
Since you are working in a procedural format, constants are one of your best answers. What are you alternatives? Hard Code it (reusability sucks, and you can't easily search for all places to change it), don't validate it, enable truncation errors (catch the error, process accordingly).
Yes, BUT like I said above... I think well-designed systems help you to not hang yourself.
That looks like another v3.0 task...
No, actually I'm a BSA by day...
I do try and test things. Heck, insane testing has added a YEAR onto my website. If anything, I test too much?! :rolleyes:
While I see (and agree) with your point, you are leaving out the fact that...
1.) Sometimes Changes don't get QA'd in every place they need to be, thus things slip through. (That's the "Human Factor" and a big reality!)
2.) If you make it too easy to change things without any safe guards, sometimes humans forget to QA or QA the right things. (It is why God created "Referential Integrity"! If you would just "test" everything, you'd never need Foreign Key constraints my friend...)
Here are my thoughts for v2.0...
Constants are beautiful, but like anything, should be used sparingly.
My "private_message" table defines the PM Body as "Text", so creating a Constant called "PM_MAX" makes sense, and I don't have to QA anything, because I would choose some insanely large value for the length...
By contract, my "member" table has a Profile field called "occupation" which is 40 characters. A Constant might be okay, BUT I have to remember if I change it from "40" to "60" to change the Database from VARCHAR(40) to VARCHAR(60)...
I cannot stress enough that I am the "Queen of Testing" my own code.
But I am also human, and humans make mistakes, and for me, I can possibly see myself changing "OCCUPATION_MAX" from "40" to "60" and forgetting to update the Database Table because most of my Constants do not touch the Database...
(If I leave things hard-coded for "Occupation", then I won't have to worry about said mistake, because if I change actual code then I ALWAYS test the heck out of things!!!)
Sounds lame, I'm sure. But just sayin...
Oops, my bad
Sure, but then you fix them, test them, and deploy them. You can always look at integration tests too that run continuously so as changes are made, if it negatively impacts an existing test, that test will break.
No, that comparison is flawed. Referential Integrity is a validation technique, not a QA technique. It simply validates what is provided is valid. It doesn't prove that part of the system works as designed.
I can agree with this.
I adamantly disagree with this. You should test everything! No matter how obscure the value is, it should be tested against.
Create documentation of the requirements so when you do make the change, go to your documentation, see that it affects a table as well, and ta da! Or test it... (or both)
Of course, which is why you should test your changes. If you are going to edit anything, be sure you know what it affects before doing so. Otherwise, you'll be bug ridden in no time. Do a search for OCCUPATION_MAX throughout your project and be sure to hit all of those scenarios.
Not really, you just might forget to update one of the hard-coded locations. Try searching for 40 throughout your code and see how many false positives you might get. Or you may update the wrong location or not all locations. Plus hard coding still doesn't ensure you'll remember to update the column size...
cpradio to DoubleDee...
1.) Always test your code and code changes.2.) Don't make any mistakes, or forget anything.3.) Problems solved!
Gee, that was easy!! :lol:
:lol:, You'll make mistakes, heck I still make a few (and QA has been good to catch a few of them; and others not so well -- but they were complicated edge cases). Simply put, there isn't a right or wrong to your question, but keep in mind, running a test against code you are altering is always to your benefit regardless of how simple the change was to make.
A good reminder, even for me!! :tup:
When something is fresh in my mind I tend to tell myself "I'll remember that". But I have learned that after I'm away from it for a while I can easily forget.
That's why I have learned to use /*comments*/
Nothing like seeing
/* if this value is increased, ALTER the table */define("OCCUPATION_MAX", 40);
to jog my memory.
Another good idea.
Not to mention in the real world there are going to be multiple hands on a project. No one is going to know what you know unless they have some sort of documention or comments as already described. One of the worse things in programming is to inherit some project from an incompetent developer who didn't know how to comment or write documentation or at the worse code / normalize a db. I know that is not relevant in your case but it is a real problem when dealing with projects that have hit multiple hands. In the real world of clients (besides yourself) it is not unordinary to come across project that have had over ten or twenty different developers. Each one one with a different skill level… which is why testing/QA is important. You never know what you might run into with others poor decisions/lack or foresight. Which is why it is important to test and have proper QA procedures set-up. Just saying… I know you are a one women army but that is not how it works in the real world.
Sir, yes Sir!!
Getting to work on the Constant Comments and updated Documentation immediately, Sir!! :lol:
(All of this advice and wisdom everyone at SitePoint has been subjecting me to over the last 3 years will either make me one hell of a Developer with one hell of an impressive website, OR kill me!!)
I might have an idea, but I was actually just paraphrasing your original question, and no, I do not have the answer to that question by the way.
So this might then be viewed as a question on how to manage that part of your Model code which talks directly to your database.
AFAICT, most popular Frameworks data access is governed by config files, ini files and the like.
In one direction they are picked up and used by the Model, but in the other direction they could be used by the View.
this is a snippet from an ini file from a framework wot I made myself a few years ago...
It matches one ini file to one table.
; Bootstrap file for simple models
; Options for PDO are : INT STR NULL BOOL LOB
; params : PDO - field_type - size - HTML_Label
id = INT
title = STR-text-40-Title
// loads redacted here
descrip = STR-textarea-2000-Description
These values are extracted for data verification in one way (Model-ish), and for HTML form generation in the other (View)
In light of the above conversation about testing, I don't suppose it would be impossible to check the value in a config file against the db schema when a test suite is run.
Whether it would be worth the sweat is of course as said, debatable.
In light of the example I posted I suppose a lower level question really ought to be, "how is it that my view is able to send data to my database that has not passed some kind of verification?"
The example illustrated still does not do away with a hardcoded value for the length of the description, but at least sticks it in one place so you could reasonably check it vs your db schema on demand.
Maybe this is by the by -- and only relevant if your question was mainly concerned with the development stage -- but I found this SP article on Redbean fascinating and though I leafed through the Redbean docs at the time and saw no mention of its power when matched with Unit Testing, it would seem a good match.
Debbie, try using a MVC approach where the raw View data is passed to a Model.
The Model is best thought of as a third-party external process with no access to the code and either saves or returns messages relating to invalid data.
Sorry, but you and Cups are way out of my league on the last two posts.
Maybe someday I will learn OOP and MVC anc can d such things, but for now - and this thread - I am leaving my code as-is!!
Constants for things like PM Length or Bio Length where the DB Field is Text and I can tweak the length without having to touch the database, and hard-coded - for now - for fields like "PM Subject" where I really have no business changing that after it is built.
OK if the MVC approach is too daunting then consider sending your raw user input data to a catch-all function that either returns TRUE on success or a text message detailing why the data could not be saved.

Winds of Change Sweep through Pawtucket
By Brendan McGair / Pawtucket Red Sox | November 6, 2013 4:33 AM ET
Once again, the winds of change have swept through the manager's office at McCoy Stadium.
Tuesday saw Gary DiSarcina leave to become the third-base coach for the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim, a franchise that the Massachusetts native is quite familiar with. He played 12 years for the Angels and served as a special assistant to the team's general manager during the 2011 and 2012 seasons.
"When we hired him back from LA, we knew it wasn't going to be for a long period of time," said Red Sox Assistant General Manager Mike Hazen on Tuesday.
DiSarcina ended up posting an 80-63 record during his first and only season as manager of the Pawtucket Red Sox, a mark good enough to capture the International League's North Division title. The PawSox advanced to the Governors' Cup finals before falling to eventual champion Durham.
A total of 64 PawSox players played for DiSarcina in 2013, the list of notables including several players who went on to register an impact with the 2013 World Champion Boston Red Sox.
"Gary did a fantastic job for the PawSox in so many ways this past season," said PawSox PR Director Bill Wanless. "Players loved playing for DiSar as evident by the club winning the IL North Championship and coming within two victories of repeating as Governors' Cup Champions. He did that while never losing sight of developing players for the Boston Red Sox - several of whom were instrumental in the Red Sox capturing the World Series.
"Off the field, Gary represented the Pawtucket Red Sox with class. He enjoyed everything that came with being the PawSox manager including a great rapport with fans and media. He earned his place among the many outstanding managers in PawSox history and we thank him for a terrific year in 2013."

aircrack-ng -w /root/dekstop/wordlist.lst WPA1-01.ivs
aircrack-ng -w /root/dekstop/wordlist.lst WPA1*.cap
Im fairly new to this but i have been trying to breach my wifi using aircrack. What is weird that i get a handshake and when i try to decode it using the wordlist even tho i know my password which is 12345678 on my test router is in there it wont find the correct password.
Here is what i write
airmon-ng start wlan0
airodump-ng mon0
airodump-ng -c 1 -w WPA1 --bssid B8:A3:86:B6:20:E5 --ivs mon0
aireplay-ng -0 1 -e homenetwork mon0
aircrack-ng -w /root/dekstop/wordlist.lst WPA1-01.ivs
Were do i go wrong?
instead of
aircrack-ng -w /root/dekstop/wordlist.lst WPA1-01.ivs
aircrack-ng -w /root/dekstop/wordlist.lst WPA1*.cap
I think your last command is incorrect:
Wpa handshake is not located inside WPA-01.ivsaircrack-ng -w /root/dekstop/wordlist.lst WPA1-01.ivs
It is located inside WPA-01.cap
Here is what you should do (with comments):
Good luck!airmon-ng start wlan0
airodump-ng -c 1 -w WPA1 --bssid B8:A3:86:B6:20:E5 mon0 // I removed --ivs option here, ( if you use it your handshake will be incomplete )
aireplay-ng -0 5 -a B8:A3:86:B6:20:E5 -c "client MAC address being deauthenticated" mon0 // --deauth option have more effect when targeting specific client
aircrack-ng -w /root/dekstop/wordlist.lst *.cap // cracking files with *.cap extension. (capture files) it's the same as aircrack-ng -w /root/dekstop/wordlist.lst WPA1-01.cap

ok i had this exact same problem and i tried both the solutions on this page and they didn't work. i found the solution. I am running bt5 r2 and this normally comes with darkc0de.lst. I downloaded the some other password lists online and they came as "pw list1.txt. i changed the name to darkc0de2.lst and the problem went away. hope that helps.

Bill would exempt high school seniors from post-graduation make-up days
COLUMBUS, Ohio (WTVN) -- With all the snow, ice, and cold we've seen this winter it's likely many Ohio school districts will be making up missed days at the end of the school year. But what about high school seniors who will have just graduated?
"The district would be liable on their attendance reports if seniors did not attend after graduation," said Sen. Randy Gardner, a Republican from Bowling Green.
Some districts have tossed around the idea of moving graduation back to deal with the issue, but Gardner says that can hurt families that have planned events around graduation.
"Let's hold graduation ceremonies on the day that parents and grandparents and families have planned on," he said.
Gardner has introduced a bill that would exempt high school seniors from the attendance requirement after graduation. He is hopeful that schools will be able to make up most of their days before graduation.
"This does not excuse the importance of education prior to graduation day," he said.
Gardner is hoping the bill will either pass on its own or be added as an amendment to another bill dealing with calamity days.
"I just thought it was at least important just to put this issue to bed early so that districts and families can plan," said Gardner.

The OPTA Commission has imposed a fine of 1 million Euros on three Dutch enterprises, operating under the company name DollarRevenue, and their two directors, due to their unlawful installion of software on more than 22 million computers belonging to Internet users in the Netherlands and elsewhere. They primarily used misleading files, making Internet users believe that they were about to download apparently innocent files, whereas they actually contained DollarRevenue software. "They also used botnets, thereby installing files without user intervention. Each day 60,000 installations occurred on average. A total of more than 450 million program files were illegally placed on 22 million computers." With the enterprises and their directors having deliberately contravened provisions of the Universal Service and End Users Decree [Besluit universele dienstverlening en eindgebruikers], based on the Telecommunications Act [Telecommunicatiewet] and designed to promote safe Internet usage and to protect the privacy of Internet users, fines totalling 1 million Euros were imposed.

A presentation on "Measuring National Cybersecurity Readiness" has been posted online today on the ITU-D ICT Applications and Cybersecurity Division (CYB) website.
The presentation by Robert Shaw, head of the ICT Applications and Cybersecurity division, provides background information and resources on
cybersecurity, information on related ITU-D activities and initiatives, and other relevant activities. For more information on CYB's activities involving
cybersecurity, visit the division website.
According to McAfee, the website of the French Embassy in Libya is currently under attack through IFRAME injection. With the visit by Libyan President Muammar Khadafi in the country, controversy is stirring up which has apparently triggered interest among people behind the attack. The iframe routes the victim to sites hosted through Hong Kong provider, then it redirects the victim to Russia and Ukraine where exploit and downloaders are used (Exploit-YIMCAM and downloader-AUD). McAfee warns people not to attempt reaching the site as it is still dangerous.

The International Telecommunication Union (ITU) highlighted the role played by information and communication technologies (ICTs) as both a cause and a potential cure for climate change at the UN Conference on Climate Change in Bali, Indonesia, on 12 December.
ICTs can be used for remote monitoring of climate change and the gathering of crucial scientific data such as using telemetry or remote sensing by satellite. Smart and emerging technologies can be integrated into energy-efficient products, notably in next-generation networks (NGN) where ITU's Standardization sector (ITU-T) is carrying out vital specialized work.
Activities at the ITU's Development Sector (ITU-D) refer to promoting a role for information and communications technologies in the protection of the environment, together with partners from other international organizations and the industry. ITU-D also provides assistance to developing countries in emergency telecommunications as well as in the area of e-waste.
At the UN Conference, ITU raised awareness on standby services of ICT equipment such as computers and PC screens, DVD players, TVs and battery chargers, which places a burden on energy consumption. "Always-on" services, like broadband or mobile phones on standby, have increased energy consumption compared with fixed-line telephones, which do not require an independent power source.
ITU underlined an active commitment to promote the use of ICTs as a positive force to reduce greenhouse emissions and to find ways to mitigate the effects of climate change. In this regard, ITU can support and facilitate scientific studies aimed at implementation of new measures against the negative effects of climate change. As part of a unified effort of the UN system, ITU can contribute in its areas of expertise to support Member States and to foster partnerships with the private sector to develop more energy-efficient technologies.

PC Tools recently discovered a social-engineering attack that uses trickery rather than a software flaw to access victim's valuable information. It is a new program that can mimic online flirtation and then extract personal information from its unsuspecting conversation partners. The program is believed to be making the rounds in Russian chat forums such as CyberLover. According to PC Tools, the "bot" cannot be easily distinguished from a real potential suitor, and the software can work quickly establishing up to 10 relationships in 30 minutes. It then compiles a report on every person it meets complete with name, contact information, and photos, which then may be made available for fraudulent activities. "Although the program is currently targeting Russian Web sites, PC Tools is urging people in chat rooms and social networks elsewhere to be on the alert for such attacks. Their recommendations amount to just good sense in general, such as avoiding giving out personal information and using an alias when chatting online."

Kelly Jackson Higgins, Senior Editor of Dark Reading wrote on how cyberwarfare has evolved into a growing underground market. According to experts, international cyber-spying is considered as the biggest threat for 2008 with the malware economy mimicking legitimate software markets. Malware suppliers are reportedly offering tools that make it easy for criminals with little technical know-how to commit their crimes, and many now advertise their 'products,' and offer support services as a value-add. These, as well as cyber-spying trends, are among the many findings of McAfee's annual Virtual Criminology Report released on 29 November 2007. The report was based on input from more than a dozen
security experts from NATO, the FBI, SOCA, The London School of Economics, and the International Institute for Counter-Terrorism.
"What struck me through most of this report is the threat is more evolutionary than revolutionary -- things we've talked about as potentially developing are now status quo," says David Marcus, senior research and communications manager for McAfee. "That's the disturbing part. Cyberwarfare, or state-sponsored malware, is business as usual." According to the report, what further concerns governments is that this malware, as well as the burgeoning market for zero-day exploits, sold in the black market can also be used for targeting government, banks or other sensitive infrastructures, such as the power grid.
The CSI Survey 2007, the 12th of its kind, by the Computer Security Institute, aims to raise the level of security awareness, as
well as help determine the scope of computer crime in the United States. The survey strongly suggests in this years results that mounting threats are beginning to materialize as mounting losses. The survey results are based on the responses of 494 computer security practitioners in U.S. corporations, government agencies, financial institutions, medical institutions and universities.
Among the key findings from this years survey are:

A Taxonomy of Privacy by Daniel J. Solove, an associate professor at the George Washington University Law School, won the Privacy Enhancing Technologies award 2006. This paper attempts to identify privacy problems in a comprehensive and concrete manner, and it aims to guide the law toward a more coherent understanding of privacy and to serve as a framework for the future development of the field of privacy law.
Privacy is a concept in disarray, Solove says. Abstract incantations of privacy are not nuanced enough to capture the problems involved. The law has often failed to adequately protect privacy, and privacy problems are frequently misconstrued or inconsistently recognised. Without an
understanding of what the privacy problems are, how can privacy be addressed in a meaningful way?
His taxonomy defines threats to privacy from the perspective of the individual, in four categories of potentially harmful activities information collection, information processing, information dissemination and invasion. With the help of this more comprehensive taxonomy, Solove hopes that privacy considerations can be better recognised and balanced against opposing interests.

The United Nations Childrens Fund (UNICEF) reported on 26 November about the launch of 20 broadband-enabled teacher resource centres in the Maldives to help the Ministry of Education to provide quality education to every child of a population spread across 1,000 small islands.
Using information and communication technologies (ICTs) enables administrators and teachers to be part of one learning community across the country. Teachers can simultaneously receive online training, access and exchange information through the common network. Moreover, the internet and state-of-the-art technologies are aimed to enhance interactive education and to increase motivation of both students and teachers, as UNICEF noted.
ITU, in collaboration with the Ministry of Communications and Information Technology of the Republic of Indonesia, is hosting a workshop on 28-30 November 2007 entitled ITU Regional Workshop on ICT Applications for Rural Communication Development. The workshop is held in Bali, Indonesia.
The description of the event, draft agenda, invitation letter, and practical information for meeting participants are available on the event website.
Information and communications technologies (ICTs) are contributing to climate change, but can also provide problem-tackling tools, as the United Nations News Centre reported from a conference on the impact of ICTs on climate change organized by the UN Global Alliance for ICT and Development and AIT Global Inc., a global association of management and information technology professionals,on 27-28 November.
Experts and industry leaders highlighted that servers, personal computers and monitors account for more that 60 per cent of global ICT-related carbon emissions, and that product design, manufacturing and internal operations would be essential to minimizing emissions. Even though the paperless office environment has not yet been achieved, industry could develop energy-efficient appliances that shut down automatically when not being used. ICT could also improve the energy efficiency of all economic sectors, for example diagnosing the carbon emissions of products or processes and suggesting their redesign.

ENISA recently launched its latest Position Paper, "Botnets - The Silent Threat", a 12-page paper identifying roles and structures of criminal
organizations for creating and controlling botnets, and trends in this type of cyber crime as well as online tools to identify and counter malicious code. ENISA points out that browser exploits account for more than 60% of all infections, email attachments for 13%, operating system exploits for 11%, and downloaded Internet files for 9%. It also emphasizes that the main problem is uninformed users. ENISA, thus, calls for "a more coordinated, cross country cooperation among multi-national law enforcement agencies, Internet Service Providers (ISPs) and software vendors" to combat botnets, and further adds that education of the everyday user is a key measure.

USA Today reports on the current spam statistics, and reiterates how spam continues to exponentially increase despite anti-spam softwares, filters and legislations. According to market researcher IDC, "the total number of spam e-mail messages sent worldwide, 10.8 trillion, will surpass the number of person-to-person e-mails sent, 10.5 trillion." Spam sent is also said to have reached 60 billion to 150 billion messages a day. As for phishing, the Anti-Phishing Working Group said new phishing sites soared to 30,999 as of July 2007, from 14,191 in July 2006. MessageLabs adds that one in 87 e-mails is tagged as phishing scams now, compared with one in 500 a year ago.
The fight against spam has nonetheless expanded and grown too. Built-in spam defenses of Google's Gmail, social-networking sites such as Facebook and MySpace which enable users to control who has access to their personal profile, to exchange e-mail with friends, family and business associates, and phishing filters provided by Microsoft on its Internet Explorer browser are some of the common filters made available to users. In the same effort to stop spam, Yahoo, eBay and PayPal recently announced their use of DomainKeys, an e-mail-authentication technology. Other anti-spam technologies include CertifiedEmail from Goodmail Systems, a new breed of e-mail services, and Boxbe. "The multilayered-defense approach has worked to stop such scourges as image spam, which varied the
content of individual messages through colors, backgrounds, picture sizes or font types to slip through spam filters. Image spam made up half of all spam in January. Since software makers came up with a solution, image spam has dropped to 8% of all spam, Symantec says."
A new research paper on the Russian Business Network
(RBN), Russian Business Network - Additional Analysis, by David Bizeul has recently been published online. Bizeul spent the past three months researching the RBN, a virtual safe house for Russian criminals responsible for malicious code attacks, phishing attacks, child pornography and other illicit operations.

The U.S. Center for Information Technology Leadership (CITL) conducted a study on The Value of Provider-to-Provider Telehealth Technologies. Assuming some specific healthcare settings such as emergency departments, correctional institutions, nursing homes and physician offices the cost-benefit analysis focused on three technology systems, i.e. store-and-forward, real-time video, and a hybrid model combining the first two.
The CITL study found that benefits outweighed costs for all three systems, but the research organization recommends the hybrid model as the most cost-effective one for the U.S. The report is available at citl.org.
John Kenneth Schiefer, a 26-year-old computer security consultant from Los Angeles has admitted to hacking into computers entrusted to him to create a botnet of as many as 250,000 PCs, which he used to steal money from and identities of unsuspecting consumers and corporations. "Schiefer agreed to plead guilty to four felony charges in connection with the case and faces up to 60 years in prison and a $1.75-million fine, according to court documents filed Friday in federal court in Los Angeles." According to Assistant U.S. Atty. Mark Krause in Los Angeles, Schiefer is the first person to be accused under federal wiretapping law of operating a botnet.
Schiefer stole user names and passwords for EBay Inc.'s PayPal online payment service to make unauthorized purchases and passed the stolen account information on to others. According to the plea agreement, a conspirator named "Adam" who is allegedly a minor was involved in Scheifer's scam. Scheifer and his accomplices were reported to have used illicit software which they planted on people's PCs to spirit account information from a storage area in Windows-based computers. A Dutch Internet advertising company also hired his services to install its programs on people's computers when they consented, but he installed it on more than 150,000 PCs without permission, earning more than $19,000 in commissions.
The federal investigation began in 2005, and the indictment includes "four counts of accessing protected computers to commit fraud, disclosing illegally intercepted electronic communications, wire fraud and bank fraud." Schiefer's initial appearance in Los Angeles will on Nov. 28 and his arraignment on Dec. 3. There is a similar case in May 2006 involving a Downey man, Jeanson James Ancheta who was sentenced to almost five years in federal prison after pleading guilty to four felony charges for using botnets to spread spyware and send spam.

Call of Duty World at War is a realistic First Person Shooter which packs a mean punch with action packed combat and superior graphics inherited from other popular World at War titles.
Super Gamer Dude
Nintendo Wii
The game delivers in a big way and unlike all the other Call of Duty: World at War titles the action in the game moves from place to place in sleek cinematic videos. This is a first person shooter brings with it all the characteristics that the other World at War games, such as the green/brown /gray color set, but as you come to the end there is pure cinematic flair and on screen action that is lacking in many of the other FPS.
The character Miller is on the US side at a time when there were attacks on the Japanese in the Pacific, following Pearl Harbour and America's entry into the war. Emphasis is put on this hard fought Pacific theatre of war but it also has action in Europe. In the Pacific oriented part of the game the action is at its most vicious and so in that part of the game you will be invading islands leading up to Japan and fighting very different jungle battles, not the usual type of warfare.
Unlike moving from building to building as is the case in Call of Duty 3 and 2, the combat in this game is about pushing through thick forests and impenetrable jungles fighting against enemies better trained for the terrain and almost suicidal in their will to win. When you locate them you will have to force them out of their caves and bunkers with the use of grenades and flamethrowers. This unusual sort of action adds to the appeal of the game. The European campaigns are equally action filled but lack the brutal and somehow claustrophobic edge of the Pacific campaign. The style and locations of the game is supposed to be based loosely on real actions and real places, and the pre-level cinemas actually show real footage of World War II combat. Missions in all scenarios are many and varied.
The controls on Wii of the World War are perfect for the game, which overall is a little slow moving for my liking, but don't let that put you off. The game is simply brutal with intense cinematic actions. No game delivers everything but this one delivers more than most with its almost worldwide actions.
