U of Utah, 4th node
intended to be a fast way to share ideas with other network researchers.
first printed on paper and snail mailed
eventually distributed through FTP
Now on WWW
SRI maintained the online directories
RFCs created feedback loop
When consensus reached, a specification would be developed
worked like a driver
could not address networks downstream
no error control
Believed ARPANET would be the only network and would be completely reliable
First public demonstration
Individual networks developed on their own.
Protocols to control connections between networks
NCP not usable for open architecture, Kahn proposes what would eventually be called the Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) suite, TCP/IP has error control and ability to see downstream networks, more of a communications protocol than NCP
Cerf was familiar with NCP and with interfacing various operating systems
Cerf was chair
Original implementation only supported file transfer and remote login
realized that TCP should not handle packet loss, applications should, split TCP in two, TCP and IP, TCP - service features, like flow control and recovery from lost packets, IP - provides only for addressing and forwarding packets, Also added UDP, User Datagram Protocol, provides direct access to basic service of IP
Stanford (Cerf), BBN (Ray Tomlinson), and UCL (Peter Kirstein)
Stanford developed standards
within a year there were three interoperable versions of TCP/IP
Kleinrock's "Queueing Systems: Vol. II, Computer Applications"
Influential in spreading packet switching
Split off into MILNET for operational requirements
ARPANET used for R&D
disbanded ICB and created various Task Forces, each TF focused on particular area of technology
Formed Internet Activities Board (IAB), made up of chairs from Task Forces
As Internet grew, TFs and the IAB were reorganized with substructures
US version of JANET
Dennis Jennings takes over NSF, makes TCP/IP mandatiory for NSFNET
In spite of DOD insistence on TCP/IP fo all networks, many vendors still did not understand it.
MFENet for USDoE's Magnetic Fusion Energy group
HEPNet for USDoE's High Energy Physics group
SPAN for NASA's Space Physicists
CSNET for academic and industrial computer science community
BITNET linked academic mainframe computers
little incentive for compatibility
Developed to serve entire higher education community
developed policies and strategies to fund and encourage network infrastructure for academic and research communities
Supported DARPA's Internet infrastructure., developed policies guaranteeing connectivity between DARPA and NSF, RFC 985 (Requirements for Internet Gateways)
permits management of networks
thanks to NSF funding and standardization, TCP/IP was the de facto data protocol on networks
International Cooperation Board (ICB), coordinated work with European organizations
Internet Configuration Control Board (ICCB), invitational body to assist Cerf in managing Internet activity
developed to keep Internet development free and fair as more commercial enterprises and community organizations were funding and developing their own Internet research and development
Internet Society works on provision of service and other measures that help IETF
Internet Engineering Task Force, responsibilities include developing the TCP/IP protocols, attended by users, researchers, and vendors

The "Arab Spring": Three years on
- published: 14 Jan 2014
- views: 24335
Three years ago today, on 14 January 2011, Tunisia\'s former president and dictator Zine el-Abidine Ben Ali stepped down after 23 years in power following an unprecedented wave of mass protests. This shock turn of events kicked into motion a snowball effect throughout the region and soon anti-government protests had spread to Algeria, Bahrain, Egypt, Iran, Iraq, Israel, Jordan, Kuwait, Lebanon, Libya, Morocco, Oman, Palestine, Saudi Arabia, Syria, the United Arab Emirates and Yemen. But three years, four deposed leaders and hundreds of thousands of deaths later, where are the so-called \"Arab Spring\" countries now?

When Joe tells a local news reporter exactly what he would do if he were leader of the country, the video goes viral, and Joe's speech becomes famous all over the world!
Before long people are calling for the current leader to resign and give someone else a go...and that's how an ordinary boy like Joe ends up with the most extraordinary job. Now the fun can really start!

"Dramatises a common fantasy for many of us - what we might do if we were Prime Minister." (Daily Telegraph)
"Theo age 9"
I really liked it, it was funny at times and the prime minister was pretty stupid. It was a good book and I'd recommend listening to it or reading it.

The Global Positioning System (GPS) is a satellite based global navigation satellite system (GNSS). It provides various information including geographic location, latitude, longitude, altitude, time etc. It is very reliable system whether and time cant effect it. Anyone can freely access it with a GPS Receiver.
GPS is becoming extremely popular in embedded and robotics projects. Navigation feature of GPS is making it usable in various projects and products. News says that very soon even our keys will have inbuilt GPS so that we can trace them as we generally it took great effort to recall that where we have put them.

Anecesserie: Greeting Cards, Stationery Sets & Invitations
Ancesserie Letterpress creates elegant and rustic stationery and invitations in Edgefield, SC. Modern stationery and invitations are hand-crafted from the 19th newspaper plates used by their six-generation family newspaper, The Edgefield Advertiser. Their stationery and invitations are hand-crafted in the USA on the finest American paper stock.
Ancesserie comes from the Old French word for ancestry. One day, in recent past, I was called to discover in the pressroom of our family's newspaper beautiful letterpress type and engravings once used by my Great and Great-Great-Grandfathers to produce The Edgefield Advertiser. This living community chronicle, the longest running newspaper in South Carolina, has been in their family for 4 generations! Ancesserie's line of stationery is all handcrafted, inspired by and using much of this early tooling. These images tell a beautiful and lasting American story.

Bible Commentaries
Scofield's Reference Notes
Genesis 10
Verse 2
1 Gomer 2 Magog 3 Madai 4 Javan 5 Tubal 6 Meshech 7 Tiras
1 Progenitor of the ancient Cimerians and Cimbri, from whom are descended the Celtic family.
2 From Magog are descended the ancient Scythians, or Tartars, whose descendants predominate in the modern Russia. Ezekiel 38:2; Ezekiel 39:6; Revelation 20:8.
3 Progenitor of the ancient Medes.
4 Progenitor of those who peopled Greece, Syria, etc.
5 Tubal's descendants peopled the region south of the black Sea, from whence they spread north and south. It is probable that Tobolsk perpetuates the tribal name. A branch of this race peopled Spain.
6 Progenitor of a race mentioned in connection with Tubal, Magog, and other northern nations. Broadly speaking, Russia, excluding the conquests of Peter the Great and his successors, is the modern land of Magog, Tubal, and Meshech.
7 Progenitor of the Thracians.
From these seven sons of Japheth are descended the goyim, or Gentile, nations, trans. "heathen" 148 times in the A.V. The name implies nothing concerning religion, meaning simply, non-Israelite, or "foreigner."

Server virtualization firm Virtuozzo, which was spun out of German tech company Parallels IP Holdings GmbH last year, is beefing up data security on its software platform with the addition of a new disk encryption feature for containers.
The company, which offers a infrastructure platform that lets users deploy containers, virtual machines, and software-defined storage from a single console, said data security concerns are one of the main reasons why many enterprises are yet to deploy containers in production. By offering container disk encryption on its platform, the company says, users will be able to better protect company and customer data while taking advantage of the infrastructure agility that containers provide.
The data used by containers is now encrypted "at rest" as a standard feature on Virtuozzo's platform. The data is only decrypted when it's loaded into the memory to be accessed by applications, before being encrypted once more when written back onto the disk to be stored. The entire process is automated, and as a further safeguard, the data is only accessible via encryption keys integrated with a key management system.
The new feature is a welcome addition to Virtuozzo's platform as it helps to shore up one of the most vulnerable aspects of software containers, which is the data that containerized applications rely on. Over the last year, much of the focus on container security has been on the applications themselves, while the data has often been overlooked.
Virtuozzo isn't the first company to take this approach. Last year, a company called Thales e-Security Inc. announced a new encryption package that, among other things, gives users the ability to encrypt and re-key containerized data without taking the applications that use it offline.
Virtuozzo's encryption feature doesn't appear to be all that different from Thales' offering, but one of the main differences is it encrypts the entire disk, so that both the applications and the data itself are secured, George Karidis, chief executive at Virtuozzo, said in an interview via email. Moreover, Virtuozzo's feature comes bundled with the company's platform, whereas Thales' encryption tools come packaged with its Vormetric Data Security Platform, alongside various other security products.
"There is no need to deal with multiple vendors and there are no additional charges for deploying encrypted containers, as [data encryption] is just a native part of our product," Karidis explained.
Virtuozzo said its container data encryption feature is available now, at no extra charge. All customers need to do to get up and running is specify the encryption key ID they wish to use when creating a new Virtuozzo container, and the platform will do the rest.

SEOUL, South Korea (AP) – South Korean prosecutors on Wednesday charged the former Korean Air Lines executive who achieved worldwide notoriety by kicking a crew member off a flight with violating aviation security law and hindering a government investigation.
Cho Hyun-ah, who is the daughter of the airline's chairman, ordered a senior crewmember off a December 5 flight after being offered macadamia nuts in a bag, instead of on a dish.
The plane returned to the gate at John F Kennedy airport to disembark the flight attendant.
Cho's actions amounted to "threatening the safety of the flight and causing confusion in law and order," prosecutor Kim Chang-hee said during a briefing that was broadcast live by local television networks.
She could face up to 15 years in prison if found guilty of all four charges she faces, according to Attorney Park Jin Nyoung, spokesman for the Korean Bar Association.
Prosecutors accused her of forcing a flight to change its normal route, which Park said was the most serious charge with a maximum prison sentence of 10 years. The three other charges she faces are the use of violence against flight crew, hindering a government probe and forcing the flight's purser off the plane.

Protocol-Independent Multicast (PIM)
Definition - What does Protocol-Independent Multicast (PIM) mean?
Protocol-independent multicast is a family of protocols looking after the different modes of internet multicasting for successful transmission of information in one to many, and many to many modes. All protocol-independent multicast protocols have a similar format for control message. Using the routing information available with the help of the different communication protocols, protocol-independent multicast can function without being dependent on any specific routing protocol. In other words, protocol-independent multicast does not use its own mechanism of topology discovery.
Techopedia explains Protocol-Independent Multicast (PIM)
There are four modes in protocol-independent multicast, namely:
- Sparse mode: This protocol makes use of the assumption that in a multicast group, all the receivers will be sparsely distributed in the environment. It is largely for wide area usage. The protocol supports the usage of shared trees, which are nothing but multicast distribution trees rooted at a specific node. It also supports usage of source based trees, which has a separate multicast distribution tree for every source transmitting data to a multicast group. In sparse mode, its important to have a mechanism to discover the root node or rendezvous point.
- Dense mode: This protocol makes the opposite assumption of the sparse mode. It assumes that in a multicast group, all receivers are densely distributed in the environment. By flooding the multicast traffic, it builds the shortest path trees and also prunes back on the tree branches when there are no presence of receivers. The protocol is based on only source based trees and as a result does not depend on rendezvous points, unlike sparse mode. This makes the dense mode easier to implement and deploy. However, the scaling property of the dense mode is poor.
- Source-specific multicast: This protocol focuses on just one node which acts as a root and the trees are built based on the same. It offers a reliable, scalable and secure model for broadcasting information.
- Bidirectional protocol independent multicast: It is similar to sparse mode, with the difference being in the method of data transmission. In bidirectional, the data flow is bidirectional, i.e data flows through both directions in a branch of a tree. The data is not encapsulated. Again, bidirectional does not use source based trees at all and also there is no designated router in the case of bidirectional protocol. The protocol has great scalable properties especially when there are a large set of sources for each group.

Mandate for 100 percent ocean container scanning blasted by shippers
A 100 percent provision for ocean container scanning remains impractical, flawed, and continues to serve as a threat to efficient global commerce. Those served as some of the main takeaways in a letter from 70 organizations including distributors, farmers, importers, manufacturers, retailers, transportation and logistics providers, and wholesalers, to Secretary of Homeland Security Jeh Johnson this week.

A 100 percent provision for ocean container scanning remains impractical, flawed, and continues to serve as a threat to efficient global commerce. Those served as some of the main takeaways in a letter from 70 organizations including distributors, farmers, importers, manufacturers, retailers, transportation and logistics providers, and wholesalers, to Secretary of Homeland Security Jeh Johnson this week.
The letter, which was spearheaded by the National Retail Federation, U.S. Chamber of Commerce, and the World Shipping Council, praised a letter Secretary Johnson penned to the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Government Affairs Chairman Tom Carper, which included his decision to renew the extension of the deadline for full-scale implementation of 100 percent scanning of U.S.-bound maritime cargo containers for another two years.
The 100 percent container scanning mandate is a byproduct of the 2006 SAFE (Security and Accountability for Every Port) Port Act. It requires U.S.-bound maritime cargo containers to be scanned by radiation detective equipment and non-intrusive imaging systems at foreign ports prior to the cargo being loaded onto a vessel, as per the language in the SAFE Port Act. The bill added that this law is designed to prevent radiological and nuclear terrorism by denying terrorists the ability to transport radiological/nuclear weapons via one of the more than 12 million maritime containers that enter the U.S. annually from more than 800 global ports.
This mandate initially directed DHS to have 100 percent scanning implemented by 2012 while authorizing DHS to extend the deadline for two years and renew the extension in additional two-year increments if at least two of six statutory conditions existed. The current deadline for another extension is July 1, 2014.
"DHS finds that in 2014, the conditions and supporting evidence cited in in the 2012 deadline extension continue to prevail and preclude full scale implementation of the provision at this time," wrote Johnson. "[T]he use of systems that are available to scan containers would have a negative impact on trade capacity and the flow of cargo. Additionally, systems to scan containers cannot be purchased, deployed, or operated at ports overseas because ports do not have the physical characteristics to install such a system."
Johnson added that after a review of the nation's current port security and DHS's short term and long term ability to comply with 100 percent scanning equipment that DHS's ability to fully comply with the unfunded mandate of 100 percent scanning is highly improbable, hugely expensive, and not the best use of taxpayer resources to meet port security and homeland security needs.
Among the alternative action items he has instructed DHS to do for complying with the mandate's underlying objectives are: increase scanning abroad; improve targeting; engage stakeholders; and address other political vulnerabilities.
The letter sent to Johnson this week fully endorsed the current risk-based strategy employed by DHS, saying it is the "right approach to enhance global supply chain security," adding that "Congress needs to repeal the mandate and focus on practical supply chain security solutions."
It also pointed out that the container scanning provision is impractical and does not improve security, and were it to be implemented it would have a very negative impact on global commerce and create conflict with the governments of foreign trading partners, many that have voiced opposition to the requirement in the past.
NRF Vice President for Supply Chain and Customs Policy Jon Gold said in an interview that this mandate is replete with challenges that make it very difficult to put it into place.
"We think more emphasis needs to be placed on the risk-based approach DHS has in place right now," he said. "It is a better way to go when looking at supply chain security. There are no 100 percent guarantees, but the risk-based approach is the best one. We believe the mandate should be repealed so we can focus on the real issues and gaps in supply chain security and address them."
Industry stakeholders have long maintained that the 2012 deadline was too ambitious to be met, citing a lack of proven and sophisticated technology.
"CBP, the trade community, and virtually all foreign governments agree that 100 percent scanning of containers coming in to the U.S. is a bad idea," said Kelby Woodard, principal of cargo security firm Trade Innovations, in a previous interview. "The technology is expensive and unproven, the volumes are prohibitive, and the global infrastructure (not to mention the political will) is inadequate to implement such an ambitious goal. Most importantly, it would create a dangerous false sense of security. The layering of risk based and flexible methods like CSI, C-TPAT, and ISF are the most effective way to address the very real and ever-changing risks within the global supply chain."

Original Art Stories: The Weird Wally Wood
I've always believed that there's a very fine line between genius and insanity and that when that line becomes blurred what might seem somewhat bizarre to 'normal' people is merely normal to the bizarre. Wood had his demons that pursued him, right to the end, and, from all accounts, he could be somewhat unstable (to put a nice spin on things) and erratic, but his ability to draw anyone under the table was the gift that he had. The price he had to pay for that gift was the tragic way that he both lived and died.
In his day Wood was as good as anyone out there and, for me anyway, he peaked to a degree with his work for EC. If I wrack the brain a bit I'd hazard a guess and say that I first encountered Wood in the pages of a Mad Magazine reprint (as an aside, talking of vintage Mad, I love the story Starchie - not by Wood) and then worked my way back from there. I saw his superhero stuff for Marvel and DC and often wondered who this artist was who was wasted on a back-up strip like Hercules for DC. I had no idea what Wood's life was like, hell, I was a kidlet. In later years I began to read about Wood and, to be honest, it upset me a lot. Then I began to speak to those who knew him, Michael Netzer, Alan Kupperberg, Steve Mitchell - people who were there - and the image that began to emerge was a bit different from some of the printed pages.
In later years Wood turned to inking almost exclusively with devastating results - even Steve Ditko or Joe Sinnott couldn't ink Steve Ditko or Jack Kirby as good as Wally Wood could. In some ways Wood was a wasted talent for comic books, but such is life.
"Woody, which is what we called him, was a very sweet child-like man, he was very nice, he was sweet, he liked to play, he liked music, and he liked to joke. He was also a very troubled man as all good souls are. His sensitivity to the callousness all around him caused him to retreat into his own worlds within him and he sought some comfort by doing so, sometimes with the help of alcohol or other substances - as do many good souls tortured at man's inhumanity to man all about. It's clear that any help he thought he'd receive from therapists was ill hoped for, as most therapists haven't the foggiest notion what troubles such sensitive spirits. Much in the same way as Don McLean sang about Vincent Van Gogh in Starry Starry Night - when Woody saw that there was no hope left in sight, on that starry starry night... well, we all know how that song ended. As a matter of fact, I had never seen him yell at anybody. He would have these wonderful wry jokes and you liked to be around him when he felt uplifted, but there were other times when Woody felt the weight of the world on his shoulders and he could display little patience for some of the vanities which characterized his environment. At such times, he preferred to keep to himself." -- Michael Netzer
This story comes from Weird Science #16 entitled "A Trip to a Star,", published by EC in 1950. That's sixty years ago, and frankly it's still head and shoulders above a lot of the crap that's being published today.

My taste for comics has faded over the years. They just don't give me the same thrill they once did, but...WALLY WOOD, well, his stuff still thrills me. I think of his work as the comic art version of comfort food; pleasing, attractive, fundamentally sound in every way, and just plain good. "Woody" was unique, and in many ways, an under appreciated talent. He also may have been the best inker of all time. KIRBY - WOOD! Awesome! I never get tired of looking at his work.

Smurfswacker, I do believe that is Woody drawing himself into the story. He used to do that from time to time. You can see this in a lot of Cannon strips, usually as background or expendable characters.

Chapter 21Mature
Chapter 21
Everything was set up. Daniel pretended to his cousin that the plain clothes police officer was a university friend whom he had regained touch with recently. He didn't like having to lie but he knew he didn't have any choice in the matter. For a few days they all waited but nothing happened. Finally, one night at half past ten, Daniel was awoken by a commotion in his study and went to see what had happened.
"Richard Osborn I am arresting you for the murders of Bryan, Calista, Kathleen, Naomi and Dr Stanley and there will be other charges. You do not have to say anything but it may harm your defence if you fail to mention when questioned anything you may rely on in court".
Yusef sank into a chair.
"My best friend. A murderer and a..." he swallowed. Zaara held out a cup of tea and he took it. "I can't believe it". He took a few sips and set the mug down on the table.
Zaara sat opposite him and gripped his shoulders. "You still have me. You have your daughters. And, you will make new friends."
He nodded mutely.
Jack had cooked dinner and opened a bottle of wine.
"After yesterday I thought I'd treat you." He poured some wine into a glass and handed it to Tanya. He sighed. "I hate my job sometimes."
Tanya took the glass. "Well the main thing is, it's over. We also have a long bank holiday weekend to look forward to. We won't have to go in to work until Tuesday."
Jack nodded.


text: A few months ago I was fortunate to interview Saturday Night Live's esteemed—if somewhat unknown—photographer Mary Ellen Matthews. The resulting Digital Photo Pro article called attention to her phenomenal body of work, and I noted many regular folks (i.e. non-photographer-types) who came out of the woodwork to say they'd always loved those photos on the show and were glad to meet the woman who made them. Well now Mary Ellen is getting even more recognition with a retrospective of her work at the former CBGB rock club and current John Varvatos clothing store in New York's Bowery neighborhood. After a decade of toiling in relative obscurity (after all, her photos aren't seen in print so often as they're seen during commercial breaks—with no room for a credit), it's great to see this phenomenal photographer receiving so much well-deserved attention. Read about the show at the Wall Street Journal, and check out more of her work at her Jed Root web site.
