Security Experts Reconsider Scanners After Attempted Attack
U.S. lawmakers say the use of body scanners at airport security points is likely to be revisited after a would-be attacker smuggled explosives aboard a plane on Christmas Day, AFP reported.
The controversial machines, which can scan beneath clothing to detect items that may be hidden from ordinary view, are considered effective and have been tested at numerous international airports.
Most security experts say the scanners likely would have detected the explosives that Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab was hiding as he boarded a Northwest Airlines flight in Amsterdam last week.
The attacker onboard the Airbus 330 had a combination of a flammable liquids he was carrying in a syringe and an explosive powder known as pentaerythritol or PETN that was sewn into his underwear.
But experts say the metal detectors that passengers ordinarily step through as their luggage is being x-rayed would not have detected either component.
British Interior Minister Alan Johnson said Monday he would consider installing full body scanners at British airports "as quickly as possible."
The Transportation Security Administration said such scanners are already in use at 19 airports in the United States and a handful of courthouses and prisons.
The scanners use radio frequencies to scan underneath clothing and produce a 3D image of the individual's body "" though it does not produce an image of the naked body.
Meanwhile, privacy advocates are concerned because it does faithfully reproduce individual curves hidden beneath clothing, from the shape of a breast to a roll of fat.
Many European airports have tested the device, but its use was halted after the European Union expressed concerns and protested a plan to install the scanners at airports throughout the EU.
Martine Roure, an EU representative, said the project would have been "disproportionate to submit all passengers to this type of check in the name of the fight against terrorism."
However, passengers and crew prevented Abdulmutallab from carrying out the attack and now lawmakers worldwide could change their minds about the body scanners.
But traditional security measures simply would not be able to detect the sort of explosive Abdulmutallab was carrying, according to Bruce Hoffman, a terrorism expert at Georgetown University.
"There is no other way, except for a body scan, to detect it. Even the secondary screening measures sometimes used at airports would have failed," he told AFP.
Hoffman said if the explosive PETN were sealed extremely tight in plastic, dogs wouldn't have picked it up.
"It is virtually impossible to know what is concealed beneath clothing without the scanners," Douglas Laird, a former security director for Northwest Airlines, told AFP.
Jimmie Carol Oxley, the co-director of the Center of Excellence in Explosive Detection, Mitigation, Response and Characterization at the University of Rhode Island, said anything is hard to detect if you're not looking for it.
He added that airport security already has machines that can detect PETN.
"If you go through the airport and they ever pull you over for your carry-on and they swab your carry-on, they can pick up that, those machines detect it," he said.
On top of all of the controversy, Laird said the machines also cost around a million dollars, 20 times more than standard X-ray machines.

My Ama wholecuts and Ama single monks arrived today (classic line).
First impressions: I'm not wholly comfortable with the AMA wholecuts because the last is a wider one and makes them look quite bulbous - not too dissimilar to the capital last on the Loake 1880 Aldwych. It could be an optical illusion as well because the colour is black - sadly, the only colour in that style at the moment.
Note: I think it's more that my Charcoal suit needs to be lengthened [trouser]. I'll wear them indoors tomorrow evening (too tired now), with my Nicole Fahri brown wool trousers that have been tailored to just above half the heel and feedback.
I really, really like the single monks, which surprised me. Even though, yet again, only available in black, and on the AMA last, they are much more eloganted and elegant than the wholecuts.
Shoe trees to be shipped separately (no shipping cost) because Meermin were out of stock in the UK10.
Sizing: I've only tried the Rain last on a pair of Carmina wholecuts, and the Ama wholecuts but especially the single monks are a very snug fit (width) in a UK10. In fact, a little too snug. On the whole, they fit, but I'd be worried if a more narrower last was used.
I'll post pictures when I get home.

From what I understand, the Ama last has more room/leather in the toebox, but tapers more severely to the point, meaning that your mileage may vary depending on your foot shape.

From what I understand the Ama has more room in the instep and wider part of the foot but tapers through the toebox. I've read a lot of people complaining about the the thightness of the toebox from the Ama, but I haven't read anything alike about the Hiro.
Apologies for the light. Artificial light, taken with a 2004 Casio Exilim (well past it's sell by date - not bad during daylight but night shots are almost impossible to take without blurring).

Derek Harding | December 26, 2012 | Comments
You're thinking about "mobile."
Mobile is an email marketer's dream. It offers the ability to connect with people, effectively in real time, wherever they happen to be. According to Tomi Ahonen, a former Nokia executive, the typical mobile user checks his phone 150 times each day and the average SMS is read within four minutes. The power and capability of mobile devices continues to increase at an extraordinary clip. The HTML rendering provided on smartphones now exceeds that of the most popular desktop and web-based email solutions. Today's smartphones have high resolution screens, powerful processors, high-speed Internet, built-in cameras, and location awareness.
Given all these attractive attributes, one would think that relationship marketers would have jumped right on mobile. Email to mobile devices, SMS to email sign-ups, SMS/email alternative communication streams, cadenced messaging combining email and SMS should be our norm and we should be reaching out into app messaging, location-based messaging, and mobile-social integrations. The reality though is that most email marketers have barely even started with SMS. Why is mobile marketing still such an underserved part of the relationship marketing mix?
It seems that it's not just the email marketers that are struggling with mobile. A recent analysis by mobile analytics company Flurry shows that mobile advertising receives a tiny proportion of spending compared to its more established competitors. The company's conclusion was that upper middle class women are the key to this discrepancy. I believe the answer lies in the incongruity at the heart of the "email, mobile, social, web" mantra that is so widely espoused in the email world today. The conundrum is that these four items, listed sequentially, are neither a logical progression nor a set of like things.
Email and web are well-established online channels in use for over a decade. Though much has changed in that time and there are areas where email in particular is less well-utilized than it should be, they are mediums and they are well-understood as such. Social meanwhile is the new kid on the block. In many ways, little more than the latest shiny evolution of web-based services. Still and all, social is being well-served. There are a wide range of specialist providers creating tools and services to support marketers and more media experts offering advice than any one person can reasonably keep up with.
Mobile though is another beast entirely. The breadth of capabilities of mobile devices and the range of purposes to which owners put their devices are both astounding and daunting. When a marketer speaks of mobile marketing, they could be speaking about location-based services, SMS, email on a phone, apps, or mobile web pages.
The problem with thinking about mobile is that you're thinking about mobile. During the writing of this column I took a break and read a marketing newspaper and a couple of headlines rang out for me: "Marketers must use mobile to encourage brand loyalty" and "Agencies must keep up with mobile." That's what they're intended to do but the articles led to the problem that I think is befuddling marketers today - a tendency to retrofit mobile into an existing marketing strategy.
I believe that, in a nutshell, is why we struggle so much with mobile. It highlights any shortcomings of a marketing communications strategy (or lack thereof). We rely on a single word to sum up a range of increasingly sophisticated devices with multi-faceted uses in the possession of individuals who are expecting coherent and consistent messaging. All too often marketing strategies are single-faceted and ad hoc.
Despite these challenges, mobile messaging is inescapable. Just as the prediction for mobile ad spending is 82 percent year-on-year growth, I believe we'll see rapid growth in messaging.
That means it's time to get ready. If you're going to do mobile it should be a natural part of your overall strategy, and of course that means having a strategy. Understanding your customers, both current and future, when, how, and where they want to interact with you is critical. From this it becomes clear which parts of the communication lifecycle may be mobile, which must be mobile, and which should not be.
This strategic approach also provides insight into the questions that arise concerning which media (web, email, SMS, apps, Facebook, Twitter, Foursquare, search engine, banners, location services, etc.) are appropriate and how to ensure they work together for best effect.
Creating an integrated messaging strategy is time consuming and difficult but increasingly important in a world of mobile devices.
In a future column, I'll delve more deeply into integrated mobile strategies.
Until next time,

I'm planning a Susan B. Anthony birthday celebration next month. More about this soon! And there's news from Velya Jancz-Urban who always wanted a "Votes for Women" tea pot to go with her china set that has been stored away. Here's what she said about it. Now the entire set will be coming out of storage just in time for afternoon tea party season. February 15th is Susan B. Anthony's birthday and a perfect opportunity for Velya to use the "Votes for Women" dish set, which by the way, is available at the gift shop at the Susan B. Anthony House, among other places. Photo: Velya opens her teapot gift during the holidays.

A new way to eavesdrop
Scientists film throat movements to decode the spoken word
By Stephen Ornes, 16:36 PM June 20, 2013
Eavesdroppers soon might have another way to monitor far-off conversations. All they will need is the right camera, pointed at a speaker's throat.
When you talk, your voice box jiggles and wiggles the skin on your neck. Those vibrations can reveal to an eavesdropper what you're saying, reports a new study. Its authors include engineer Yasuhiro Oikawa and other researchers from Waseda University in Tokyo, Japan.
The team used a high-speed camera to record thousands of images per second of...

Suresh Raina said that most of the top-order West Indies batsmen prefer playing big shots rather than rotating strike against spinners, an area which he feels can be exploited by Amit Mishra and Co when the two teams square off in the ICC World T20 in Mirpur on Sunday.
Asked about the threat the explosive opening pair of Chris Gayle and Dwayne Smith could pose, Raina said, "West Indies will be a totally different team as they have a lot of players who can hit sixes, but they don't have an idea about how to rotate the strike against spinners by taking singles and twos.
"Therefore, the more pressure we put on the bigger players, better it will be for us."
The in-form left hander said that Amit Mishra's bowling will again be key while countering the likes of Gayle, Smith and Samuels.
"We have Mishra, who has done well in the last match. Ashwin has also bowled well and Jadeja is doing well too. But T20 is dependant on who is better on that particular day.
"Also depends on what you intend to do after winning the toss. Spinners will be key in this contest."
Elaborating on the role of tweakers, Raina said that overs 7-11 will be key against the slower bowlers.
"About facing spinners, it's not that there is great turn (on this track) but some turn available. While shaping up for a shot, you need to come under the ball.
"Your thought-process should be clear. If you think you want to hit it, then you should go ahead. If you decide against it, then be it. Between 7 to 11 overs is the time when you need to rotate the strike well. If you get even one loose ball, if you can convert it into fours and sixes, then it's good."
For shorter formats, Raina wants that batsmen should try to set short-term targets.
"Definitely, Pakistan had Ajmal, West Indies has Narine. In these shorter formats, you have to plan for two overs. You need to decide whom to attack and whom to defend. We have good middle-order. We have Dhoni, Yuvraj and then Jadeja and Ashwin. So if we get a good start, we have batsmen down the order."
Making a comeback into the side after being dropped from the Asia Cup squad due to repeated failures in ODIs, Raina has been in good form of late with scores of 41, 52 and 35 not out.
Asked what he did during the 'forced break', Raina said, "I did what I had done earlier. I analyzed my game and what can be done in upcoming games. I worked really hard at nets with my coach. I also played a few matches in domestic tournament (Vijay Hazare Trophy)."
Raina said he enjoyed playing the role of a finisher and he would try to win as many games as possible for India.
"My game is such that irrespective of the format, my aim is to win as many matches as possible for India. Touchwood, God has been really kind as the last 2-3 matches have really gone well," Raina said.
"I think it was a very good win against Pakistan for us. When you are playing in a World Cup and you win the first game against Pakistan, it sets the momentum. There are still three more games to go. We need to do really well against West Indies and Australia," Raina said about India's win over Pakistan on Friday.
Sticking to the gameplan will be key for India against the big names of West Indies like Gayle, Smith and Bravo and Raina said there's no need to change their basic approach.
"We don't need to change our approach. We will go out there and play positive cricket. We have done well in the last couple of matches. We need to control our game-plan and also control our emotions when we face Gayle, Smith and Bravo. We have to go out there and play our best cricket," he stated.

There aren't a lot of phones on the market which can serve as digital currency, but PayPal demonstrated Wednesday how its users will be able to make payments to each other with their NFC-equipped phones through a new Android widget.
Remember back in the days of the Palm (NYSE: HPQ) Pilot, when you could beam your business card info to another user simply by holding the two devices within a few inches of each other? That's exactly what PayPal is proposing for making payments with NFC phones, it said in a blog post Wednesday. Simply activate the widget on a phone with the short-range wireless technology and hold it very close to the phone of the person receiving the payment. When you hear the buzz, you'll know your bank account has gotten lighter.
NFC-equipped phones are few and far between at the moment, but several different companies have either declared plans to embed the technology in upcoming devices (Research in Motion (NSDQ: RIMM), for one) and others (like Apple) are believed to be evaluating the technology. Google (NSDQ: GOOG) has been pushing NFC payments hard as part of its Android platform, unveiling Google Wallet in May as a payment service for phones inside of retail stores that use Mastercard's Paypass system.
PayPal's service is a little different, more akin to what Square has been doing making iPhone credit card readers that let almost anyone accept credit cards, but a little more lightweight since it doesn't involve extra hardware or software. An Android widget is a limited piece of software that's not quite an app, but gives you a quick window into a proper application or lets you do a few limited things.
Here's a video produced by PayPal explaining its system:

Jobs await OFWs—in Iraq's Kurd region
More News from Jerome Aning
More News from Philippine Daily Inquirer
Thousands of jobs await Filipino workers in the northern Iraqi region of Kurdistan, where the economy is booming, a recruitment specialist said Sunday.
"Not only is Iraqi Kurdistan the most developed and relatively peaceful region in Iraq, it is also on its way to becoming an investment destination," said Emmanuel Geslani in a statement.
Geslani said local recruiters were hoping the total lifting of the deployment ban to Iraq would open jobs for Overseas Filipino Workers displaced by the Libyan conflict in the oil and gas sector in Kurdistan which needs engineers, technicians and other related professionals.
Geslani, a major advocate of the lifting of the deployment ban to Iraq and Afghanistan, hoped Filipino diplomats headed by Foreign Undersecretary Rafael Seguis, who visited Baghdad and the Kurdish capital Erbil recently, would recommend that Filipinos be allowed to work in Iraq again.
Seguis met with Minister Falah Mustafa Bakir, who heads the Department of Foreign Relations of the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG).
Citing government and industry estimates, Geslani said there were 5,000 to 7,000 undocumented OFWs in Kurdistan who were looking forward to the lifting of the deployment ban so they could go home and be legitimized by the Philippines Overseas Employment Administration like the OFWs working in US military facilities in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Most OFWs in Kurdistan have been working there since 2005 in infrastructure projects, oil and the petroleum industry, telecoms, hotels and schools teaching English, Geslani said.
Despite isolated cases of bombings and terror attacks in Baghdad and other parts of Iraq, Geslani said Kurdistan, administered by the democratically elected KRG, remains a magnet for Iraqis from the south looking to escape violence and for international companies wanting to enter Iraq.
Billions of dollars, he added, were being spent on infrastructure projects like new roads, dams, communications, electricity distribution, sewage and water facilities by the regional government funded by the oil industry.
Tourist spots are being developed in the cities of Dohuk and Sulaymaniyah where there are natural and cultural attractions.
Thousands of new jobs are opening up in the capital Erbil which local leaders plan to convert into a "New Dubai," Geslani said, adding that the city has modern malls with stores of international brands including Levi's, Timberland and Ecco, and indoor skating rinks.
"New hotel chains are sprouting international hotel operators, including Marriott and Moevenpick, are looking at opportunities to open hotels in Erbil, which would largely accommodate business travelers working on oil and gas and infrastructure projects in the region," Geslani said.

Boys & Girls Clubs name Conejo Valley youths of the year
Andrew Ceco, recently named Youth of the Year by the Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Conejo Valley, said he will continue helping the club that has helped him since sixth grade.
Ceco, a student at Newbury Park High School, received the honor during a Grammy-themed celebration Friday at the Thousand Oaks Civic Arts Plaza.
"I want to do more and be more for the club. I want to return the favor," the 16-year-old said shortly after being named 2013 Youth of the Year for the organization that boasts more than 3,000 members from six clubs.
Evan Altshule, 13, of the Marion & John E. Anderson Boys & Girls Club, was named Youth of the Year in the 13-and-younger age category.
Boys & Girls Clubs of America's Youth of the Year recognition is the highest honor a club member can achieve, celebrating members who demonstrate exceptional character, leadership, community service and triumphs over obstacles. Contestants also must write essays and a speech, plus answer questions from a panel of judges.
Ceco and Altshule both received $100 prizes.
Ceco, a member of the Sequoia Boys & Girls Club, will have a chance to enter county, regional, state and national contests. Each state Youth of the Year receives $1,000 scholarship, and the national honoree receives an additional scholarship of $15,000.
Ceco has volunteered hundreds of hours and is especially proud of his work with kids.
He became a club staff member last summer and got involved in a music program called "Rotations" for members in kindergarten through eighth grade. He has helped kids learn about instruments — drums, piano, guitar, bass, xylophone, ukulele and kazoo — and write songs.
"I also help them with personal development," he said. "I stay after each lesson and talk to them about their lives and make sure that I can support them in any way I can."
Ceco said giving back is the least he can do.
"The club has allowed me to develop my cartooning and animation skills," said Ceco, who wants to become an animator and do voice-over work. Four years ago, he started making flipbook animations at the club. During the award ceremony, he elicited giggles and applause from the audience with a short ventriloquism skit.
"He's an artist, a comic, an Energizer Bunny and a born leader," said Lisa Barron, club director at the Sequoia Boys & Girls Club. "He's been an inspiration for throughout the whole club as a volunteer."
After the ceremony, which drew hundreds of members, their families and volunteers, Ceco's 18-year-old brother Dan lifted him up in a bear hug.
"I'm really proud to call myself his brother," the big brother said. "He's always putting other people before himself."
In addition to his work with the club, Ceco participates in AIDS Walk Los Angeles and cancer walks. He plans on being team captain of the Relay for Life at his high school.
Ceco is passionate about battling cancer.
Three years ago, his friend Andreas was diagnosed with bone cancer. That inspired Ceco to join Shred Kids' Cancer, an organization that raises money for children with cancer.
"My friend has been battling this for the third time," said Ceco, a former president of the Torch Club, a character and leadership program for 11- to 13-year-olds. The group completed a service project called Bear Hugs to help Andreas.
The Youth of the Year celebration, sponsored by Regency Theatres, several community groups and individuals, included dance performances, vocal soloists, rock music and a mock stage combat.
Kelly Meador, a counselor at Sequoia Middle School, said picking the winners was tough.
"When I leave those interviews, I get a sense of renewal in my faith in mankind," she said. "These young people give so much to their peers, families and the community. This year, the young man we chose was so stellar in his extensive work with fundraising for cancer, we were blown away."

Love this product. I love the fact it's not greasy and I can walk in the bathroom after putting it on without slipping! I use it pretty much every night and is wonderful after I've given myself a pedicure. It smells nice too. It's pretty cheap and is usually part of the 3 for 2 offers.

Unlike many foot creams, this one sinks straight in without leaving a greasy layer, which gets it top marks from me. It is moisturising though, and makes the feet look better instantly. It has a light scent of lavender and citrus, not overpowering, just very fresh. Also works well on dry elbows and knees.
