What's Up May 2007: An asteroid makes a guest appearance
Lots of planets are visible in the night sky this month. Plus, an asteroid makes a guest appearance.
Transcript:We'll be looking at some old friends from last month and some new ones.
Hello and welcome.
My name is Jane Houston Jones, an educator from NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California.
Again this month, Saturn and Venus grace the early evening skies.
Venus is the brighter of the two.
You might even see Venus before the sun sets!
Saturn looks like a golden star to the unaided eye, and through a telescope, the icy rings and some of Saturn's moons.
Mercury doesn't ever rise very high above the horizon, but this month is one of the better opportunities for you to try and see it.
You'll need an unobstructed view of the western horizon towards the end of May.
That means a place away from your trees and buildings.
If you see a twinkling "star" there, it's Mercury.
Now here are some new objects to look at in May, but you'll have to wait until midnight or later to see them.
One is really easy to see.
Jupiter rises at about 11:30 p.m. in the east and will move higher in the sky each hour.
It's the brightest object in the sky, except for the moon.
If you don't stay up late star gazing, check out the recent view of Jupiter from NASA's New Horizons, which flew by Jupiter on its journey to Pluto.
great pictures of Jupiter too.
There's another object we can see this month.
It's the asteroid Vesta.
It won't be as easy to see as Jupiter but it's in the same part of the sky.
It won't be very bright but you'll love seeing such a distant, tiny object.
When the Dawn mission launches this summer, you'll be hearing more about Vesta and Ceres.
Dawn's eight-year, 3.2-billion-mile journey will study the heart of the asteroid belt.
You can learn more about NASA missions by visiting www.nasa.gov.
You can find resources for amateur astronomers at education.jpl.nasa.gov.

John Sherman's Podcast are available on: http://www.johnsherman.org/john_sherman_podcast/
"If I can speak to anybody at all in a way that is uncomplicated, simple, direct and clean enough for them to hear it, so that they can hear this one simple suggestion to turn their attention to see if they cannot get the direct experience of the reality of their own nature, of what it feels like to be that person, they will automatically try to do it. This act is just so simple and straightforward, so lacking in any qualification whatsoever: you don't have to believe anything, you don't have to disbelieve anything, you don't have to do any practice and you don't have to stop any of your practices. All that's needed is that you take one fraction of a second to see if you cannot get a taste of what it feels like to be you. Anybody who tries this must succeed. You can't fail in the effort to get a taste of what it feels like to be you. After all, it's you. It's not awareness, or consciousness, or god, or silence, etc. It's you. It is my conviction that anyone who hears this suggestion will try it and, having tried it, will certainly succeed. Over time, the end of the alienation from their own life is certain and sanity prevails." John Sherman

Lying down on the job
Now over the half-way mark on their long mission, the explorers are relaxed, confident of success and fully adjusted to their new environment. They are supplying 'mission control' with a steady stream of valuable data and all systems are nominal.
There's just one thing. These space explorers are not in space. They're in bed. Their spacecraft is the Clinique Spatiale at the French Space Agency's MEDES centre, located at Rangueil just outside Toulouse. The mission they are engaged upon is designed to investigate the changes that take place in human muscle and bone during long-duration spaceflight, as well as other physiological and psychological adapatations.
To spend three months lying in bed is a lot tougher than it sounds. For a start, the volunteers lie on a slope, with their heads angled downward at 6 degrees: it is the best way to simulate some of the effects of weightlessness here on the surface of the Earth. And 'lying in bed' means exactly that. The 14 volunteers eat their meals, visit the toilet, take showers and undergo countless medical tests without even sitting up - far less standing on their feet.
Even so, when CNES advertised for volunteers last year, thousands applied. Many, of course, were wildly unsuitable; but after the initial winnowing process, MEDES was still left with 600 serious candidates for the 14 places on the 'mission'.
Dr Jacques Bernard, one of the 10 European scientists involved in this study, explained.
"The final selection was made first on grounds of health risk: we didn't want anyone who was likely to have a coronary, for example. And of course we were looking for psychological stability.
"We are using men only in this experimental campaign for reasons of scientific consistency. But women have taken part in bedrest experiments in the past, and will be again."
So what motivates the 14 men who went through the selection process?
"Well, the money comes into it just a bit. More important though, the experience represents a break in their lives. Some of them are fed up with their careers. This gives them a change without losing their job: from their employers' point of view, the experiment counts as being 'on leave'. Some of the volunteers have a real interest in medical research; for others, it's space science. And of course, for everyone the whole thing is seen as a challenge."
The volunteers spend their three months two to a room, but they are not isolated from each other: there is much moving around the centre - and a good deal of banter - as people go for medical tests and although they are physically distanced from the outside world each is equipped with a mobile phone and an internet-linked computer. Unobtrusively, video cameras (operating by infrared at night) and movement detection radar confirm that the volunteers stick to their discipline, but right from the beginning they have been as determined as anyone to make the experiment a success.
Says Dr Barnard: "They are a group, now; it's a complex chemistry but they are a real group, with leaders and no one excluded. They phone each other all the time.
"The three sub-groups - exercise, medications and the control - had to be selected at random. The choice of roommates was made by a team of psychologists. Not so much to find pairs who were compatible as to avoid pairs that were incompatible."
What does the research team hope to gain from the campaign?
"We are learning more about muscle and bone adaptation to a new kind of life in space. It's not a deterioration: it's an adaptation, an important distinction. Of course, it's a 'disadaptation' for life back on the ground. So we are examining the process of adapation in a group of healthy men. As I said, we have divided them in three groups: one will receive certain medication for the stabilisation of the bone tissue, the second special exercise routines and a third control group only basic care. At the end of the campaign, we'll compare the results. And follow-up tests over the next two years will teach us much about the re-adaptation process, too.
"We have been asking the same questions for 20 years: there have been many bedrest experiments around the world. But we have never really demonstrated for certain that there actually is bone loss. We've always been sure that it occured, but we have never really proved it. Now, though, we have much more powerful tools available for analysis. Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) for instance, and more accurate ways to measure bone density. Throughout the campaign, we have been making regular muscle biopsies and with today's equipment we can learn much more from biochemical analysis of the samples.
Certainly, the volunteers seem to be thriving. And as the experimental campaign moves into its second half, the atmosphere behind the doors of the MEDES centre is relaxed. It's a curious place: on the surface, it is very hospital-like, with white-coated specialists and support staff moving around with purposeful efficiency, discussing professional business or simply chatting amicably. In their beds, the 'patients' occupy a different world, with a different timescale and a different sense of duration.
But there the resemblance ends. There is a good deal of laughter, a sense of a shared mission and a shared achievement. The volunteers are not patients: they are pioneers, and they know it.
Are there any complaints?
"Oh, they complain about this and that. And they like to make a fuss over their food. We take a great deal of care with the food: we have a dietician and a cook, and in the end we usually satisfy the volunteers. Still, every day there are long discussions." Dr Bernard waves towards a window that overlooks the city of Toulouse. "But out there it's exactly the same. After all, this is still France."

NHTSA report on pedestrians and hybrids
I've been reading DOT HS 811 204 "Incident of Pedestrian and Bicyclist Crashes by Hybrid Electric Passenger Vehicles", NHTSA September 2009. Within its limits, this is a fine report but there have been two articles that claimed 'hybrids are 50% more dangerous to pedestrians.' One was a September 23 article in the Washington Post and the other was a recent article in a Psychology blog. But this reviewer's claim is not found in the report that sad to say, lacks one critical piece of data.
This report of accidents in 12 states, 2000-2007, does not include the population of hybrids and non-hybrids in these 12 states during this time. What this means is the report describes the distribution of accidents without providing the accident rate per vehicle or vehicle mile. The 12 states in question are: Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Kansas, Maryland, Michigan, New Mexico, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Washington, and Wisconsin.
Would hybridcars or another source have the population of hybrids and non-hybrid cars for these 12 states from 2000-2007?
If we can come up with a credible count of hybrid cars and non-hybrid cars in these states, we can use the accident counts from DOT HS 811 204 Table 2, pp. 10, to come up with an accident rate. Currently the report has only a distribution of accidents, the shape of hybrid and non-hybrid accidents, without the gold standard, the actual accident rates per vehicle or vehicle mile.
The report can be downloaded from the NHTSA web site and I found it useful. The problem is there are reviewers who are taking numbers out of context and making false and misleading claims from it. Some facts and data, the actual accident rate would solve the problem.
BTW, I've used the Prius sales 2000-2007 and NHTSA Fatality Accident Reporting System (FARS) to calculate the Prius fatal accident rate 2001-2007. It is half the rate the NHTSA reported for fatal accidents. My full report is available here:
This is an important issue because of legislation in the House and Senate that would force noise makers on our hybrid cars. We need facts and data to answer in kind.

The introduction of robotic
The introduction of robotic vacuum cleaner machines has changed the concept of household cleaning forever. Their sleek design and advanced technology makes it easy for anyone to clean their homes and offices to perfection without straining a single muscle. There are a wide variety of robotic vacuum cleaners available. Of course, their basic function is to clean but all of them differ in their action one way or the other.
A robotic vacuum cleaner is much more than an ordinary cleaner. They come with a number of accessories to ensure that the cleaning is done thoroughly and easily.More information you can read robotic vacuum reviews. What endears the machine to the present generation is the ease with which it can be operated. They are fully automatic and do not need supervision. All you have to do is turn it on and they will ensure that the room is cleaned of all dirt from the deepest of corners and crevices when you come back.

Three Weeks!Posted 2013.01.29 9.59 in Pointless Blather by
So today is the three week anniversary, if you're the sentimental type. Three weeks that my pneumonia and I have been together.
Wish I could say the time's been glorious and wonderful, but it's actually been exactly the opposite of that.
Yeah, pneumonia. I thought it was probably a cold at first, then as it kept getting worse I figured flu. By day 9 I was feeling absolutely dreadful so I went and saw the doctor, and she decided it was pneumonia.
10 days of expensive antibiotics later I was feeling maybe kind of sort of better. A bit. A few days on from that and I'm still taking OTC cold&flu pills to fight the symptoms. They don't work great, but I tried not taking them and that was much worse.
After 21 days it's starting to get hard to remember what it's like not to be short of breath, not to be coughing all the time, not to feel exhausted after inconsequential things like getting dressed & ready for work.
I was really hoping to be feeling better by now too; the next couple weeks are going to be really busy at work and it's going to flat out suck if I'm feeling like this the whole time.

The answer is yes. About one-third or more of individuals who have seasonal allergies may experience oral allergy syndrome (OAS), which is manifested by having itchiness, tingling and/or swelling of the lip, mouth and throat when ingesting certain foods. The body and the immune system sees these food proteins as potentially chemically similar to their cross reactive "cousins," tree, grass and weed pollens.
It is not uncommon for a patient with seasonal allergies with worsening symptoms (in about one third of individuals) to mention they consume the following foods during the spring allergy season (oh yes these patients are confirmed positively sensitive to spring tree pollens) such as apple, pear, fennel, kiwi, cherry, parsley, peach, carrot and even hazelnut, walnut or almond. The immune system can overreact as a result of a cross reaction and you get allergy misery!
For instance, an allergy to grass pollen may worsen with exposure to celery, melon, tomato, coriander, some cereal grains and even potato! If you have ragweed allergy OAS symptoms may worsen after ingesting banana, watermelon, cantaloupe, honeydew, zucchini and cucumber, sunflower seed and even chamomile tea. This does not mean that all people with an allergy to pollens will experience adverse effects from all or even any of these foods. Reactions may begin with one type of food, while reactions to others may develop later. However, it should be noted that reaction to one or more foods in any given category does not necessarily mean a person is allergic to all foods in that group. Often well-cooked, canned or frozen food offenders cause no reaction due to changing of the cross-reacting proteins in the cooking or packaging process.
Remember, one can also have a "generalized" food allergic reaction, and OAS can be associated with more progressive symptoms. Therefore, it is essential to see an allergist for proper evaluation and management.
Dr. Bassett
Check out the American Academy of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology Web site to learn more about cross-reactivity between pollen and foods and visit the American College of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology's new Web site to find an allergist near you.

Welcome to Watch List, where we identify five things on TV to watch while you stay at home and let Carmelo Anthony take just one more ill-advised jump shot. LET'S GO!
WILLIAM & KATE – 9:00PM (Lifetime) We're but eleven days away from the Royal Wedding. And can you believe the Royal Family was too cheap to spring for a weekend wedding? Someone was taking advantage of off-peak Abbey rates, that's for sure. Anyway, the feeding frenzy for all things William and Kate begins tonight with this Lifetime docudrama (And I cannot de-emphasize the "docu" part enough) about the couple's courtship starring Nico Evers-Swindell as the Prince and Camilla Luddington as Kate Middleton. I wish my wedding had included a pre-produced TV movie. They would have done an expert job depicting me throwing up in my fiancee's bed. ANTICIPATION: ROYAL-EY!
20/20 – 10:00PM (ABC) Baba Wawa hosts this Royal Wedding pregame special entitled "William and Catherine: A Modern Fairytale." And it is just like a fairy tale. Once upon a time, a really rich young man stumbled upon a smoking hot co-ed, then strung her along for eight years and broke up with her once so he could go date other hot women, then decided she was cool enough to finally marry. And they lived happily ever after. ANTICIPATION: JUST LIKE CINDERELLA!
ANTHONY BOURDAIN: NO RESERVATIONS – 9:00PM (Travel Channel) Tony hits Boston tonight. And is beaten with a tire iron for not pronouncing "chowder" correctly. IT'S CHOWDAH! I'LL KILL ALL OF YOU! ESPECIALLY THOSE OF YOU ON THE JURY! ANTICIPATION: CHOWDAH!
DANCING WITH THE STARS – 8:00PM (ABC) The dancers honor Patriot's Day (I never know when this holiday is. It's like the Passover of random commemorative holidays) by performing routines set to songs honoring America. And what better way to honor our founders than to have Kirstie Alley dance an awkward tango to "My Country Tis Of Thee"? ANTICIPATION: PATRIOTIC!
AMERICAN MASTERS – 9:00PM (PBS) A profile of John Muir, who founded the Sierra Club. The Sierra Club? I love Sierra games! "King's Quest"! "Space Quest"! "Phantasmagoria"! We were talking about the video game developer, yes? ANTICIPATION: TREEHUGGIN'!
Monday Watch List: The Royal Wedding Lunacy Begins

The Sims 3 Into the Future marks the eleventh and final expansion pack before the arrival of The Sims 4 next year. Into the Future is also one of the more unique expansion packs in comparison with past entries as it departs to a completely different time period that takes place hundreds of years into the future. While a majority of the content focuses on the addition of objects and clothing items, there is also a great deal of new gameplay features as such with the introduction of Plumbots. It's fitting that the final expansion pack for The Sims 3 provides a refreshing gameplay experience that feels different from past entries, yet while still maintaining the core mechanics. Ultimately, enjoyment of Into the Future will depend on the particular Sims gamer and if they're a fan of the science fiction setting.
Once the expansion pack is installed, previous or new households receive a visit from a time traveler that exits from a glowing portal. After completing a brief quest for the time traveler, players have the option to journey with them to the future city of Oasis Landing. The futuristic city provides a variety of new rabbit holes and venues to explore in addition to a wasteland outside its walls that can be explored for collectibles. At any time, players can travel back and forth between the current and future time settings. The expansion pack provides players with three futures to select from including normal, dystopian, and utopian. The various future states only affect minor gameplay features, but primarily change in appearance of the world from cloudy skies and falling meteorites to a giant rainbow and sunny skies. In the future, players can also visit descendants of their current household that are dynamically generated based upon current day conditions. As well, two new career paths are added involving astronomy and the creation of Plumbots.
As with past expansion packs, Into the Future adds a wide assortment of new objects to the buy and build modes that range from food synthesizers to hologram computers and televisions. In addition to the numerous build objects for designing a future home, Sims can now use elevator tubes to traverse house levels and even receive be instantly cleaned from sonic showers. Transportation has also been expanded in the future with cars that hover as well as jetpacks and hoverboards. The new futuristic buy and build objects add a new gameplay element to designing and decorating houses as many items simply aren't required any longer with the evolution of in-game Sims technology. Not to mention it's highly-entertaining and refreshing to build a house that goes beyond the rules and designs of today's architecture standards. The creation of Sims has also received a variety of new futuristic items from suits and dresses that draw many resemblances and inspiration from science fiction classics such as Star Trek.
The creation of Plumbots is one of the biggest surprises from the expansion pack as designing robots and interacting with them is downright entertaining. Sims can now study the bot building skill which in turn allows for the creation of more complex Plumbots that function using trait chips. The designing of Plumbots is similar to the Sim creation process but differs in that players select from an assortment of heads, torsos, arms, and legs to create their very own personalized robot. While basic at first, Plumbots can be improved through the addition of trait chips that enable expanded functionality such as becoming a master chef or musician. Once a Plumbot has been created, players can control them as they would an ordinary Sim aside from different conditions such as having to receive tune ups and powering down to ensure their maintenance and battery meters are at optimal levels. It's not long after creating one Plumbot that players will want to create an army of them to either live alongside in their household or use as futuristic chefs and maids. And yes, Sims can develop romantic relationships with Plumbots for the future-embracing players.
Even if players decide to skip the initial time travel journey or return to their current time household, all of the futuristic objects and clothing items can be used no matter the setting. Yet, it's pretty neat to have a futuristic vacation home awaiting your Sims if the current day loses its interest or excitement. The Sims 3 Into the Future is a great expansion pack to end with before everything changes for the upcoming Sims 4. While its gameplay features aren't truly groundbreaking in overall improvements or changes, they ultimately provide an interesting and refreshing change of pace from past entries in the series. The wide assortment of new objects and clothing items are as always much appreciated and especially this time around go along away in providing new elements to the creation of houses. Both Sims veterans and newcomers should plan an extended time travel vacation to the future as they might not want to return to the boring events of current day. The Sims 3 Into the Future is highly recommended as an addition to any fan's Sims collection.
The Sims 3 Into the Future is a refreshing gameplay experience from past expansion pack entries as Sims fans are finally able to journey to a far more unique world and time setting. With a wide assortment of expanded futuristic objects and clothing options as well as a new world to explore, Into the Future provides a great deal of content for expanding upon the base game. Both Sims veterans and newcomers should find plenty to enjoy in the final expansion for The Sims 3 series. The Sims 3 Into the Future is highly recommended for any Sims fan.

|The very delicious Brown-Sugar Squash and Brussels Sprouts en Papillote
This dish was easy! I made only one packet, for my lunch. First I peeled and cubed the butternut squash, which was the hardest part of this dish. I peeled and chopped the apple, washed a handful of brussels sprouts, and placed them all into the bowl. Then I tossed them with some olive oil, added salt and pepper and placed them onto a 12 inch square of foil. I then sprinkled on some brown sugar and closed the packet. Now it's ready for the oven. Bake for 25 minutes, until the veggies are tender.
As I said, I made this for my lunch. I knew my husband was not going to eat a packet of steamed veggies, especially when there were no peas, corn or potatoes in the packets. Since he's a sandwich kind of guy, and I really don't do sandwiches, this was a perfect lunch for me. I added a slice of crusty Italian bread with some Labneh (yogurt spread). The veggies were delicious and cooked perfectly. A definite "keeper". Happy February everyone!!
This recipe can be found in Dorie Greenspans book "Around My French Table" or here. To see what the other Doristas are up to, check it out here.

Who Ruined the Humanities?
Of course it's important to read the great poets and novelists. But not in a university classroom, where literature has been turned into a bland, soulless competition for grades and status.
You've probably heard the baleful reports. The number of college students majoring in the humanities is plummeting, according to a big study released last month by the American Academy of Arts & Sciences. The news has provoked a flood of high-minded essays deploring the development as a symptom and portent of American decline.
But there is another way to look at this supposed revelation (the number of humanities majors has actually been falling since the 1970s).

The Flying Dutch will be seeking to maintain the momentum of back-to-back 20-win seasons. In her first season as coach, Mary Vande Hoef guided the Flying Dutch to a second place finish in the Michigan Intercollegiate Athletic Association (MIAA) and overall 25-15-1 record.
The 2012 pre-season roster of 20 players includes eight returning letterwinners. There are 12 freshmen, two sophomores, four juniors and two seniors.
Co-captains of the team are seniors Stephanie Faber of Byron Center (South Christian HS) and Brooke Nienhuis of Zeeland (Zeeland West HS).
Returning All-MIAA honorees include outfielder Stephanie Faber and sophomore third baseman Emma Page of Portage (Portage Central HS).
Other returning letterwinners include junior Laura Tjepkema of Dorr (South Christian HS), junior Kristin Higgs of Sturgis (Sturgis HS), junior Molly Collins of Houghton Lake (Houghton Lake HS), and sophomore Amber Born of Galesburg (Galesburg-Augusta HS). Higgs and Tjepkma each batted .392.
An early challenge will be replacing a graduated pitching staff that accounted for all of the team's victories last year. The Flying Dutch should again be a fun team to watch when they put players on the bases. Last year the team successfully stole a school-record 90 of 105 stolen base attempts to rank 22nd nationally in NCAA Division III.
The Flying Dutch will get an early start on the season when they play in an indoor tournament in late February hosted by Finlandia University at the Superior Dome in Marquette, Mich. The annual spring break trip will take the Flying Dutch to Florida for a weeklong series of games in March.
Hope will play its home games in the modern Wolters Softball Stadium, named in honor of former Coach Karla Wolters and her husband Tom.

Singapore to Introduce Cybersecurity BillMinistry Plans Collaborative Approach to Protect Infrastructure and Build Skills
Singapore's ministry of communications and information outlined its plans of the next five years and announced the introduction of a Cyber Security Bill aimed at helping its newly-formed Cyber Security Agency protect critical infrastructure.
The ministry will increase cybersecurity expenditure to at least 8 percent of its IT budget, according to Singapore's president Tony Tank Keng Yam, addressing the parliament on key initiatives taken in addressing challenges and the road ahead for the new government elected last September.
See Also: The Essential Guide To Machine Data
Says Dr Yaacob Ibrahim, minister for Communications and Information, Government of Singapore, "We will develop a national cybersecurity strategy to strengthen Singapore's information infrastructure. Priority will be given to critical sectors of energy, water, transport, health, government, infocomm, media, security and emergency services, and banking and finance."
Ingredients of the Bill
The ministry finds it imperative to roll out the cybersecurity bill, as Singapore transitions from an analogue to digital economy and focuses on developing as a smart nation.
"While the Smart Nation opens up many opportunities, we must also ensure it's built on a secure, robust, and resilient infrastructure," Ibrahim says.
The minister, however, has not divulged details of the proposed bill, saying it's an initiative to help enterprises become future-ready.
Experts say it's no surprise that the ministry plans to introduce the bill - it's a natural progression after forming the new agency, which is setting out its ethos, plans, research and resources to respond to growing threats.
Singapore-based Anthony Lim, security expert and member of (ISC)2 and Frost & Sullivan of the Singapore Chapter says, "While it's hard to exactly specify what the key ingredients of the bill might be, it could border on some pieces of increased legislation to promote compliance and improve standards in certain non-government sectors of the industry."
The bill should help enterprises have a level playing field in protecting their organizations.
"The key ingredients must ensure protection from phishing attacks, methods to prevent indiscriminate downloading, check unverified free wifi access points, ensuring diligence in end-point device software updates, proper password regime, etc., to build confidence among citizens", he adds.
Security leaders lay emphasis on involvement of private and public entities in devising a framework.
Singapore-based Bill Taylor-Mountford, vice president and GM, Asia Pacific and Japan at LogRhythm says, the new bill should focus on decreasing the mean time to detect and the mean time to respond to an intrusion.
"The bill can certainly look at encouraging companies to share information on cyber threats, similar to the cyber security information sharing Act passed by the US government," says Taylor-Mountford.
John Lim, president of ISACA, Singapore chapter, lists out four ingredients that would help in infrastructure protection:
- Legislation to encourage or require private organizations to work with the authorities in combating and responding to cybercrime;
- Policies that are not prohibitive to business functionality, allowing business to flourish while controlling the risk of cyberattacks;
- Skills-development programs for cybersecurity professionals, given the critical role they play within enterprises;
- Subsidies for developing technologies to help companies provide secured services at an affordable cost.
Ibrahim says the bill incorporates clauses to provide opportunities for Singaporeans to co-create and design solutions and services, and embark on exciting new careers.
"We will partner with businesses and institutions to offer spaces for collaboration and programmes and help Singaporeans develop capabilities," says Ibrahim.
"We will introduce a Cyber Security Bill that will give the Cyber Security Agency of Singapore greater powers to secure our critical information infrastructure," he says.
Building Cybersecurity Skills
Ibrahim believes a secure smart nation can be possible if the country develops a cybersecurity ecosystem and grows cybersecurity talent and manpower.
Anthony Lim says it's hard to hone or build specific skills: there are not many technical people who are indirectly associated with security and need to be developing security skills as part of business continuity. "The government should impart training and include various teams from legal, compliance and other business groups as part of cybersecurity training within the government and outside," he says.
"A special category of cybersecurity officer along the lines of fire safety officer can be created in every organization with specialized skills," says Lim.
ISACA's Lim finds a demand for skills in cybersecurity operations, information security managers and cyber forensics.
Ibrahim acknowledges that we live an increasingly complex environment - the global economy is volatile, our workforce is aging, and technology is rapidly changing the way businesses operate and how we work.
Ibrahim responds, "We will also seek international cooperation on cybersecurity to overcome the transnational nature of cyber threats, and work with the private sector to raise public awareness of the importance of cybersecurity."
Fillip to 'Start-Ups'
Singapore government's key focus has been to grow the infocomm, media, and design sectors, and their adoption by the rest of the economy to create good jobs for Singaporeans. Ibrahim believes an efficient way to protect critical infrastructure is to support start-ups in the region and entrepreneurship in infocomm and design sectors.
"To encourage innovation through experimenting, tinkering and risk-taking, we will set up more prototyping laboratories, provide greater access to networking opportunities and co-locate mutually supporting expertise and services," says Ibrahim.
ISACA's Lim endorses the view and says, "Given the nature of cybersecurity, home-based security companies may actually have the edge in providing specific solutions to certain critical sectors."
Ibrahim affirms, "To encourage innovation through experimenting, tinkering, and risk-taking, we will set up more prototyping laboratories, provide greater access to networking opportunities and co-locate mutually supporting expertise and services."

Session times for Office 365 services
Session lifetimes are an important part of authentication for Office 365 and are an important component in balancing security and the number of times users are prompted for their credentials.
When users authenticate in any of the Office 365 web apps or mobile apps, a session is established. For the duration of the session, users won't need to re-authenticate. Sessions can expire when users are inactive, when they close the browser or tab, or when their authentication token expires for other reasons such as when their password has been reset. The Office 365 services have different session timeouts to correspond with the typical use of each service.
The following table lists the session lifetimes for Office 365 services:
Office 365 service
Session timeout
Office 365 Admin center
You are asked to provide credentials for the admin center every 8 hours.
SharePoint Online
5 days of inactivity as long as the users chooses Keep me signed in. If the user accesses SharePoint Online again after 24 or more hours have passed from the previous sign-in, the timeout value is reset to 5 days.
Outlook Web App
6 hours.
You can change this value by using the ActivityBasedAuthenticationTimeoutInterval parameter in the Set-OrganizationConfig cmdlet.
Azure Active Directory
(Used by Office 2013 Windows clients with modern authentication enabled)
Modern authentication uses access tokens and refresh tokens to grant user access to Office 365 resources using Azure Active Directory. An access token is a JSON Web Token provided after a successful authentication and is valid for 1 hour. A refresh token with a longer lifetime is also provided. When access tokens expire, Office clients use a valid refresh token to obtain a new access token. This exchange succeeds if the user's initial authentication is still valid.
Refresh tokens are valid for 90 days, and with continuous use, they can be valid until revoked.
Refresh tokens can be invalidated by several events such as :
SharePoint and OneDrive mobile apps for Android, iOS, and Windows 10
The default lifetime for the access token is 1 hour. The default max inactive time of the refresh token is 90 days.
Learn more about tokens and how to configure token lifetimes
To revoke the refresh token, you can reset the user's Office 365 password
Yammer with Office 365 Sign-In
Lifetime of the browser. If users close the browser and access Yammer in a new browser, Yammer will re-authenticate them with Office 365. If users use third-party browsers that cache cookies, they may not need to re-authenticate when they reopen the browser.
Note: This is valid only for networks using Office 365 Sign-In for Yammer.

By: The Greater Philadelphia Chapter of Docomomo US
Images: Dr. Emily T. Cooperman
In the spring of 2012, the Greater Philadelphia Chapter was invited to participate as a consulting party in the federal review (Section 106) process of a proposed lobby addition on the Casa Farnese in Philadelphia. Originally known as Casa Enrico Fermi (renamed in 2004 in memory of its developer, Philadelphia attorney Andrew N. Farnese), was designed and built in 1964-1966 by the architectural firm of Stonorov and Haws. The building is 19-story, reinforced-concrete, senior citizen housing apartment building set at the western edge of the Washington Square West neighborhood of downtown Philadelphia. Casa Fermi was the first senior housing development to be created in Philadelphia under the Section 202 housing program of the U. S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), and thus corresponds to the enduring "group housing" practice of important Philadelphia modernist Oskar Stonorov (1905-1970) into the last phase of his career.
The building was originally constructed with a small entry vestibule, rather than a lobby. This small space was inadequate for the residents' needs for a gathering place located near the entrance and for security monitoring of visitors, which was unneeded at the time of original construction. The building's owner sought to create a new lobby for these two purposes using a loan from HUD. The original concept for the project was to have entailed the demolition of an original, C-plan breezeway in a plaza at the front of the building. Because of the federal involvement for this project, it came under review for potential adverse effect on historic resources. Thanks to the efforts of the Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commission, the Philadelphia Historical Commission, historic preservation consultant Emily T. Cooperman, and consulting parties, including Janet Kimbleton Grace, President of the Greater Philadelphia docomomo chapter, the lobby scheme was redesigned to keep the existing breezeway intact.

As multilateral talks on Iran's nuclear program kick off this week in Geneva, many Iranians are applauding what they see as a striking new tone in Iran's diplomacy.
Among those celebrating the change is Haleh Anvari, an Iranian artist and writer who divides her time between London and Tehran.
"During eight years of [former president Mahmoud] Ahmadinejad, the whole language of the country changed to this sort of feisty street language which, as you say, if it was colorful for you, I can assure you it was 50 times more colorful and astounding by Iranian standards. You never expected the kind of allusions that he used to be used by a man of politics," Anvari says.
"What I see now is... not what they're referring to as a 'charm offensive,' which I also see as being a little bit cynical, but more a return to how I would expect my country to be presenting itself — to be representing me and this nation that is 3,000 years old with this incredible history."
Anvari was born in Iran and went to England when she was a teenager — before Iran's revolution. She returned to live in Iran about 20 years ago, but these days, she's in London.
She says she's "amazed and incredibly proud" of the political maturity of the young generation of Iranians who went to the polls to vote for President Hassan Rouhani.
"This pragmatism needs to seep up to the highest echelons of the Islamic Republic," Anvari says.
She hopes international economic sanctions on Iran will ease soon.
"For us, the sanctions, apart from making things expensive, it also means that the country goes into a kind of 'Cold War' mode, which means that freedom of expression becomes less available to us," Anvari says.

You may have heard the rumor that traditional Irish music embodies the spirit of the people of Ireland?
Take a seat, listen up and you'll find out why.
Traditional Irish music is a full body experience: the upbeat tempos compel you to dance a jig, clap your hands and join in. And that's what trad music is all about, joining in and having the craic (fun).
Knowing your seisúns from your céilís
First things first, learn the lingo. The two places you're most likely to experience trad music in Ireland are a seisún and a céilí – and there's a difference between the two.
A trad music seisún (pronounced: seh-shoon) can best be described as an informal gathering of musicians. Often, it'll kick off with just a guitar. But before long you've got a whole group of fiddlers, flutists, banjos andbodhrán (drum) or Lambeg drum players belting out the tunes.
You can expect a bit of dancing at seisúns, too. People clap along to the beat as dancers twirl and skip around. Don't be afraid to join in, no one minds if you don't know the steps. And before you know it, you'll be a jigging pro.
In Armagh or Tyrone, you'll probably find that an Ulster-Scots musical session is slightly more formal than the relaxed affairs, say, in County Clare. But the enjoyment factor is exactly on par for both.
You'll find a pub seisún in nearly every village, town and city on the island, especially on weekends, and usually in a pub.
A céilí (pronounced like: kay-lee), meanwhile, is all about dancing to this music; and there's a huge emphasis on joining in with the locals. Every corner of Ireland has its own favorite dances, from jigs to set dances.
County Clare: Trad capital
Just like the dances, depending on where you are in Ireland the style of trad music will differ, too. Take County Clare where the style of trad reflects the landscape. From the Burren to the Cliffs of Moher, the landscape of County Clare is imbued with a poetic quality that commands you to slow down, and breathe it all in.
As Martin Hayes, the renowned fiddler and Clare native, puts it, "we take things a little slower here, our music, too". In the pubs of Clare they lean more towards a lyrical, lilting style of trad. But that's not to say Clare doesn't know how to enjoy itself – far from it.
The pubs here are packed with locals and visitors almost every night listening and dancing to trad. While the village of Doolin is known as the "traditional music capital of Ireland".
And music spills out onto the streets in Clare, too. Every August the Feakle Festival erupts onto the streets of sleepy Feakle village. "Feakle has this real folk feel to it," says Martin Gaffney, one of the organizers of the All-Ireland Fleadh Cheoil na hÉireann, "everything takes place on the one street; you can't help but feel right at home." So you see, joining in the fun is what it's all about.
Dublin City's trad scene
When it comes to trad music, few places offer a better selection than Dublin City. Head straight for Temple Bar in the city center. This is the city's cultural quarter, the streets are lined with medieval cobble stones and it's here that Dublin comes to party. You'll find many trad pubs in Temple Bar, but one of our favorites is Oliver St. John Gogartys. You can't miss it (it's the one covered in flags).
The trad music begins in the early afternoon here and doesn't stop until closing. Expect the odd bit of dancing inside, too.
Temple Bar really becomes the trad capital of Ireland during the Temple Bar Trad Fest. This annual event sees Temple Bar fill up with trad musicians from all over Ireland and abroad. Every pub fills up with music, dancing and song. The streets are lined with buskers and a festival vibe grips the entire area. Lots of the events are free, too.
The All-Ireland Fleadh
Think of this as the Olympics of trad music. It's the single biggest gathering of traditional Irish musicians in the world. And this year Fleadh Cheoil na hEireann takes place in Drogheda County Louth. Musicians travel from around Ireland and abroad to battle through heats to win the final competition and eternal glory. A buzzing atmosphere, plenty of friendly banter and street entertainment are par for the course here.
The city will be awash with bands,seisúns, street performers, ceilís, competitions and over 2,000 competitors.
Care for a dance?
So then, to recap. You'll find trad music pretty much everywhere in Ireland. It's about having fun and joining in. Don't know the steps? Ask a local or just make them up, traditional Irish music is all about having the craic!
Now, who's for a seisún?

"GNU/Linux has never been short of audio and video players, but they live in a world of multiple codecs, chief culprit amongst them being MP3, AAC, WMA and (Adobe) Flash. I say "culprits" because they are not free and open codecs. They are encumbered by patents; most websites with embedded audio/video use them and most of the people who view them are also using other patented software: Windows. GNU/Linux is a good alternative and all distros come bundled with free and open multimedia alternatives too: Ogg.

Alumni Profile: All in the Family
Category: WebExtras
Dan Nagle, B.A. '11; Susan O' Neill, B.A. '91, M.P.A. '93; Kathleen Skullney, B.A. '91, J.D. '93
They may share close ties, but Kathleen Skullney, B.A. '91, J.D. '83, and two of her children took very different paths to arrive at UB. Together, they compare and contrast their educational experiences and their perspectives on how UB has shaped their lives.
What expectations did you have when you began at UB?
Skullney: Returning to school after having been away for 20 years, I really didn't know what to expect. I had no well-defined expectations, but I was hoping dearly to find that I could reignite my intellectual and academic life. UB [placed] a lot of emphasis on adults who were returning to higher education, especially women, as well as those older adults who were coming to higher education for the first time.
Susan O'Neill, B.A. '91, M.P.A. '93: I was putting myself through school and was looking forward to being at a smaller school. I was hoping things would work out at UB because otherwise, I think, I would have just given up on college.
Dan Nagle, B.A. '11: I sort of grew up here because of my mom [being in law school here when I was a teenager], so I pretty much knew what to expect. I also was working full time at UB while I was earning my undergraduate degree. I didn't look anywhere else; I just transferred in.
What particular experiences do you recall from your time on campus?
Nagle: UB was very much created for a student like me. I was a bit older, taking things a little bit at a time and trying to knock things out online or in the evening, and the culture of the school was very supportive of that. While I was a student, I got married, had three children and rehabbed a house in Little Italy. And when I talked to other students, I'd hear the same story: People were working one or two jobs, had children and so forth, and that was the norm. And everyone was very encouraging and supportive.
Skullney: At UB, I was able to be at the top academically. I graduated in the top 10 percent of my law school class, although I never got more than four hours of sleep a night. [As a more mature student,] I also had the advantage of having life experiences that enhanced my academic career. It was a significant experience personally to be able to return to school and to really succeed and truly feel that I could achieve a law school degree that I really cherish. But it was frightening in some ways. My fellow students were 20 years younger than I was, and they all called me Mrs. Skullney.
O'Neill: I loved that professors and students had real work experience ... learning was not just about what you read in the textbooks. The professors were always willing to talk to you, even if you didn't have an appointment. All you needed to do was to knock on the door, and they always made you feel that you really mattered.
Do you have any advice for those considering UB?
O'Neill: I loved the urban setting, and we really took advantage of all the city had to offer but never felt overwhelmed by the city. It is a wonderful place to get work experience ... as a senior, I had an internship with a state senator during the legislative session, and UB helped me get that internship.
Skullney: I would tell students of any age that it is a place of great opportunity and with great humanity and to go for it!
Nagle: One of my professors who got his law degree here always talked about UB as being the hidden gem of Baltimore city, and I couldn't agree more.
Anything else?
O'Neill: There's enormous loyalty on the part of UB graduates. I have a UB bumper sticker on my car, and while [I'm] filling my car up with gas, people have said to me, "Oh, you went to UB? I went there as well." Things like that can turn into a networking opportunity because most alums have had such great experiences.
Nagle: People on the staff and faculty still talk to me about my sister and my mother. I guess that is a testament to how tied in the staff and the faculty are to their students.

According to Tom Sizemore, Elizabeth Hurley and Bill Clinton had an affair. TOM SIZEMORE. Go and Google Tom Sizemore and you'll know what I mean when I say TOM SIZEMORE. It's from an audio recording. Sizemore recounting the story of how he went to the White House during Clinton's presidency and while they were in the Lincoln bedroom, Clinton asked him to be his wingman with Hurley. According to TOM SIZEMORE, these were Clinton's words:
"Give it to me. You dumb motherfcker, I'm the Commander-in-Chief of the United States of America. The buck stops here. Give me the damn number."
Again, it's an audio recording. It's Tom Sizemore talking sh-t somewhere, telling tales to two friends. Is he even sober? Is that reliable?
It's TOM SIZEMORE!
OK, but Clinton did his thing with Monica Lewinsky. And Liz, well, Liz doesn't always make smart romantic decisions. For starters, she dated TOM SIZEMORE. Also Hugh Grant, Steve Bing, and that gross Shane Warne, to whom she's currently engaged. Could I believe that Elizabeth Hurley slept with Bill Clinton? OF COURSE. Do I wish we could be hearing it from someone who isn't TOM SIZEMORE? God, yes, please. So. Weigh the Clinton/Hurley histories against the reliability of TOM SIZEMORE and there's your buffet. What entrée are you choosing?

Do you sometimes wonder whether you really have what it takes to lead? Just asking that question puts you a step ahead of the rest of the pack, according to the book What to Ask the Person in the Mirror: Critical Questions for Becoming a More Effective Leader and Reaching Your Potential (Harvard Business Review Press/available now). Author Robert Steven Kaplan contends that it's more important to ask good, honest questions of oneself, rather than pretending to have all the answers. Such questions should be designed to help you diagnose your strengths and weaknesses, analyze problems and change course when needed. Here, we highlight five key leadership questions from the book to get you started, and shed insight on next steps to take to help you respond effectively to each one. Kaplan is a professor of management practice at Harvard Business School. He was previously a vice-chairman of the Goldman Sachs Group.

The U.S. Supreme Court on Wednesday limited the authority of the federal government's top securities regulator to seek civil penalties over conduct that occurred more than five years before investigators took action.
The nine-member court held on a unanimous vote that the five-year clock for the government to act on fraud begins to tick when the fraud occurs, not when it is discovered.
The case was a victory for mutual fund manager Marc Gabelli and colleague Bruce Alpert, whom the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission claimed allowed a firm now known as Headstart Advisers Ltd. to conduct hundreds of "market-timing" trades. Such trades involve rapid trading to exploit market or price inefficiencies.
The practice, while not illegal, is considered improper.
Gabelli and Alpert, who deny any wrongdoing, said the clock for enforcement action starts to tick when the alleged act occurred. The SEC said it starts when the agency is reasonably able to detect fraud.
The SEC claimed that Gabelli and Alpert violated the law from 1999 to 2002. But the agency did not sue Gabelli and Alpert until April 2008, nearly five years later, and more than five years after it said the last market-timing trade occurred.
SEC spokesman John Nester said the agency was reviewing the decision.
Allowing the SEC to bring a case so late, without Congress having explicitly given the SEC the power to do so, poses challenges, Chief Justice John Roberts wrote for the court.
"Determining when the government, as opposed to an individual, knew or reasonably should have known of a fraud presents particular challenges for the courts," Roberts wrote.
"Agencies often have hundreds of employees, dozens of offices and several levels of leadership. In such a case, when does 'the government' know of a violation?" he asked.
The SEC had won before the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in August 2011. Judge Jed Rakoff wrote for the court that the regulator could not have reasonably uncovered the market timing until a high-profile investigation by then-New York Attorney General Eliot Spitzer brought it to prominence.
The case is Gabelli v. SEC, U.S. Supreme Court, No. 11-1274.
