Can 'Smart Gun' Technology Help Prevent Violence?
By Mike Procell On March 18, 2013 · Leave a Comment · In National Public Radio, River
For years, many have dreamed of so-called smart guns, weapons that know their rightful owner and won't fire in the wrong hands. Think James Bond's gun in Skyfall.
A few major gun makers experimented with smart guns in the 1990s, but none came to market. Since then, it's been the domain of entrepreneurs and inventors.
Developers And Technologists
Jonathan Mossberg's company developed what he calls the iGun. It fires only if it recognizes a ring on a finger. The ring has a black square made of onyx and contains codes that identify the owner.
"It's totally inert. There's no batteries, nothing. Totally waterproof," Mossberg says.
Robert McNamara's TriggerSmart prototypes use radio frequency ID, the kind of technology stores use to track merchandise.
The gun looks for the RFID tag in a ring, bracelet, or, if this isn't too science fiction for you, it's embedded under your skin.
"It's about the size of a grain of rice," McNamara says of the tag. "It's that small, and they just inject it under the skin."
A German company called Armatix plans to release a gun in the U.S. that uses fingerprint scans or communicates with a wristwatch.
Donald Sebastian and his team at the New Jersey Institute of Technology took a different approach, creating prototype guns that record the unique way you grip.
"While you're pulling the trigger, you are applying a dynamically changing pattern of pressures onto that stock of that gun, and that's what is actually individual to you and reproducible shot after shot," Sebastian says.
But for all the time and money spent on smart guns, developers say their technology has, until now, mostly sat on a shelf.
"It's only been [the] lack of demand that has kept us from going any further," says Mossberg of the iGun.
But that all changed after the mass shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn.
Beyond The Politics
Mossberg and the others were all in Washington last week, at the request of the Justice Department. As part of President Obama's plan to reduce gun violence, smart guns are getting renewed attention. The Justice Department is asking whether they could reduce the kind of gun violence we saw in Newtown or Aurora.
Stephen Teret has waited for this moment for decades.
"I first started thinking about personalized gun technology when a young child, who was the child of a friend, was killed by another young child," Teret says.
That was about 30 years ago, and it led him to found the Johns Hopkins Center for Gun Policy and Research. He thinks smart guns could reduce youth suicides, accidental shootings and deaths from stolen weapons.
"We have a technology that will prove to be a lifesaving technology," he says. "We need to get it into guns. There's politics that have prevented that from happening, but we've got to get beyond those politics."
Curbing Gun Violence?
Yet for all the attention personalized guns are getting now, few experts think this technology could have prevented a tragedy like Newtown.
"The majority of mass shootings in this country are committed with legal weapons, and the person firing the gun is the owner of the gun," says Josh Sugarmann, executive director of the Violence Policy Center, a group that pushes for gun control.
He says few of the more than 30,000 annual gun deaths could be prevented by smart guns. There were just 606 unintentional firearm deaths in 2010.
"The numbers are relatively small. They're tragic, but relatively small," Sugarmann says.
He worries that if these high-tech weapons became available, more people would choose to own guns.
Both Sides Of The Argument
All this puts him in surprising agreement with the National Shooting Sports Foundation, the trade association for the firearms industry.
"Smart gun technology doesn't really offer anything that a standard lock doesn't as well," says Larry Keane, the association's general counsel.
Both Sugarmann and Keane wonder if someone like Adam Lanza would have been an authorized user on a smart gun, defeating the purpose.
It might not prevent all violence, proponents say, but smart gun technology is like a seat belt — it makes guns safer.
A group called The Sandy Hook Promise, which includes families of the victims, met with venture capitalists and technologists in San Francisco last week. They want to push more smart gun development.
And with Obama focusing on gun safety, smart gun developers believe this is their moment. Sebastian, of the New Jersey Institute of Technology, had all but given up development a few months ago. Now, he thinks they could soon be on the market.
"I think it could happen within two years," he says.
Maybe then, we'll find out if Americans actually want their guns to be smart.

Russia opposition leaders held as protesters defy police
By Gabriela Baczynska and Alissa de Carbonnel
MOSCOW (Reuters) - Russian riot police detained four opposition leaders and broke up a crowd of about 2,000 people who went ahead with a banned rally on Saturday to demand an end to Vladimir Putin's 13-year rule.
The opposition chose a symbolic location, in front of the Soviet KGB security police's former headquarters, for the rally marking a year of protests against Putin, and said the police intervention showed the limits on dissent under the president.
Police were out in force and helicopters buzzed overhead as protesters, wrapped in scarves and fur hats because of the cold, chanted "Down with the police state" and "Russia without Putin" on the Lubyanka Square in central Moscow.
One unfurled a banner saying "crooks and thieves" - a popular term coined by bloggers for the Russian leadership.
The police eventually lost patience with the rally, which had been banned by Moscow city authorities, and strode across the square hauling protesters away one by one. About 40 people were detained, police said, and there were minor scuffles.
Leftist leader Sergei Udaltsov and anti-corruption blogger Alexei Navalny were detained at the start of the rally and two fellow protest leaders, Ilya Yashin and Ksenia Sobchak, were detained on their way to the protest.
All four were released without charge hours later, indicating they had been detained to prevent them stirring up the crowd at the protest.
"I don't know how many people are here but I am proud of each and every one of those who came here. The main thing is that people are here, that they are expressing their view and showing that they exist," Navalny said before he was detained. Continued...

I used these speakers to replace the original Paragon speakers in my GK 1001RB 2x10 bass guitar combo. One of the original woofers in my combo ripped right off the frame, and the other was soon to follow, so I rolled the dice on these as replacements.I swapped the speakers out, turned on the amp, and was blown away by the sound. Not only were they louder than the Paragons at a lower volume setting on the amp, but they sounded better too. They have great low range for bass guitar, and can easily handle the lowest frequencies I could dish out. (I play a 5-string) Cone movement was good, with decent throws, but the cones weren't visibly tearing themselves off the frame. All in all I'm very happy so far. I'm a semi-pro musician that rehearses and gigs frequently, and I rely on this combo for both settings. These speakers have bolstered my confidence in my gear.I have given 4 stars only because I don't know how these will perform as time goes on. They are brand new right now, and will probably last a long time, but that remains to be seen. So far, so good, though...

Scott Lachut: Key Takeaways From PSFK's Future Of Light Report
Five insights to help understand light's potential to create compelling experiences and positively impact life around the world.
PSFK's Future of Light report showcases a range of lighting innovations that are positively impacting life around the world. Through the addition of light, our cities become more vibrant and livable and our homes become more personal and responsive. Light builds communities, creates broader economic opportunities and has the power to heal.
To help understand light's vast potential to enable these experiences and more, PSFK has identified the following key takeaways from the report:
State of Impermanence – Through the use of color, brightness, shadow and line, light has the ability to alter spaces in exciting ways, all without leaving a permanent mark. This level of flexibility offers solutions for designers as they temporarily re-imagine interior environments and entire city landscapes, mapping everything from directional cues to other hyper-relevant information where and when it is needed.
Rebuild + Resurrect – Light has the power to reinvigorate parts of a neighborhood or city by calling attention to forgotten, vacant or underutilized buildings and environments. By bringing these areas out of the darkness, people are drawn back in, promoting feelings of safety and community and creating new opportunities to imbue new meaning into cityscapes.
Intuitive Creativity – With greater connectivity, programmability and accessibility, modern lighting solutions art now integral aspects of any creative's toolkit. Either on its own or when paired with different forms of media, music or movement, light can be used to build compelling stories and immersive experiences for audiences of any size.
Positive Impact – Whether impacting health and wellness or creating economic opportunity, light can enable positive outcomes for individuals and entire communities. At its core, light makes it possible to achieve a degree of balance and prosperity as innovators leverage advances in technology for embedding the healing qualities of light into the backdrop of our everyday experience.
Halo Effect – As a communication medium light signals openness and a willingness to connect, helping bridge the gap between two parties and establish a jumping off point for communal experiences. Whether in a face-to-face context or over great distances, light brings people together, inviting them to share meaningful conversation, information and stories.
The Future of Light series explores light's potential to improve lives, build communities, and connect people in new and meaningful ways. Brought to you in partnership with Philips Lighting, a full report is available as an iOS and Android app or as a downloadable PDF.

Your Health: Reversing the Office Slump
GAINESVILLE, Fla. -- Spending six to eight hours a day in front of a computer can lead to shoulder, arm, hand and neck problems, as well as issues with balance and coordination.
Our backs were not designed to spend long periods of time sitting at desks – a common feature of many work environments.
Santiago Villamil, physical therapist, will teach you some of the most effective ways to not only reduce your pain, but strengthen the strained muscles so the pain doesn't return.
Here are a few ways you can prevent injuries at work:
- Try to place your work in front of you and sit tall while you work.
- Try not to put too much stress on one area of your body, such as your lower back or arms.
- Change your position often.
- Turn with your whole body instead of twisting to face your work.
- Take breaks to stretch or get out of your chair every 20 to 40 minutes. If you can, switch to another task.
It's just another day at the office, but without pain.

Take the best features across the whole Pathfinder line-up, add in some new ones and then mold them all together; the result is the new Pathfinder 2400 TRS. Higher sides, a deeper cockpit and added width gunwale to gunwale make the 2400 TRS the roomiest big water Pathfinder yet. Standard highlights include walk around gunwales, under gunwale rod storage for rods up to 9.5′, a stepped forward deck with added storage that can double as a fish box and integrated aft deck seats. The raised console with toe kick offers an integrated foot pod with lockable glove box and on the front side has an access door and interior tackle tray system that can be removed to allow for easy access to the helm area.
Though the 2400 TRS is loaded with advanced fishing features and practical touches, it has plenty of style. Blue-hued LED interior illumination throughout, including in the storage compartments, matches up to a fiber optic switch panel with back-lighted blue labeling and lighted switch tips. Stylish options include two- toned cushions, powder coating packages and a weblon t-top.

Looks like I'll be driving my Fleetwood all through the winter since I can't afford storage and my parents won't take one damn car out of the garage so I'm stuck. I already have an all season car cover on the car right now since I'm at school. I'm also going to use 93 octane gas for better engine performance and an oil change will be coming up fairly soon. Should I use a thinner oil for the winter like the suggested 5w30 for the 307, or should I keep using the 10w30 I've been pouring in there? Also anything else I should have done? My dad tells me a carbed car is pretty difficult to start in the winter so I just wanna make sure I won't have any trouble and I want to be sure she looks just as good in the spring as she does now. Please post any suggestions you might have. Thanky.

can you paint exhaust manifolds?
hey guys me again i have another ? i have tried with no luck in the past to paint exhaust manifolds i used high heat paint but it came right back off so does anyone know if they make a paint that will hold up to all the heat of rxhaust manifolds. thanks for the help
Aluminum plasma spray is the only thing I have found that works for any length of time. Zircionia plasma spray works good too, the beauty is you can wash with CLR after to bring back the shine.
She may not look like much, but she's got it where it counts, kid. I've made a lot of special modifications myself.
Han Solo
thanks 4jaw... i just built this motor and it looks great dont wanna ruin the looks with ugly manifolds so thanks again and ill try that
oh by the way where can you find that stuff cause i have never heard of it
Vitreous enamel the same as Jaguar used on their manifolds years ago, check out an XKE! has to be done by a specialist though & i know you can still get done here in the UK. Maybe try a search on the net, just another option.
Plasma spray can best be described by this link.
Most large machine shops with extensive welding facilities do plasma spraying, The aluminum spray looks nice and is easily cleaned with CLR or other acid based cleaner. Make sure they put on a nice heavy coat and have them preheat your castings for optimum adhesion. It is basically a sacrificial coating and will corrode first before the parent metal. Cast iron manifolds look great afterward and I use this for headers too.
She may not look like much, but she's got it where it counts, kid. I've made a lot of special modifications myself.

I wouldn't consider building an engine without having my headers coated with the Jet Hot (other companies out there do it too, check ads in rod magazines) metallic-ceramic coating. It is as near a permanent fix as you will find. My Willys headers are 7 years old with fairly steady service and look as good as the day they came back. For all the pipes back from the headers, powder coating, any color you want, works great. Won't burn or flake off.
I agree Jet Hot is the best but expensive to have a cast iron manifold done. The best part is like Willy says it does not discolor at all.
She may not look like much, but she's got it where it counts, kid. I've made a lot of special modifications myself.
Han Solo
This si not as high dollar, but I have had good results with an Eastwood Stainless High Heat coating mix. I put the manifolds in the oven (that pst her off) and got them hot. Then used an acid brush to paint the stuff on. It holds up very well. I would like to Powder coat my manifolds as well, but no bucks for that!
well thanks alot guys for all the help i have some ideas to go on now ill check around and find out who does this stuff and go from there thanks again guys
i have had good luck , with any of several brands of "hi-heat " paints , even bar-b-q paint ..the trick is preperation , and some heat .. first thing is sandblast the manifolds to get all the crud and old coatings off .. hang in ventilated area , wash down with laquer thinners to get the oils off , then warm them to "can't touch " hot with propane torch ,or acet torch ."assuming you can't put them in the oven ".. the heat both drives any moisture out , and helps the paint "flash-off " ,between coats ..talking spray bombs here ..several lite coats , let tack off 3 to 5 min per coat .. once you'v got good coverage , gently re-heat , thru the ports , and outlet , then leave them alone for a couple of days .. if its warm/hot where you are , hang them outside in the sun .. mother natures bake oven ... works for me , good luck ..jim prowse..
thanks i might try that too just not sure which way im goin yet but at least i have lots of idea thanks
How well does Powder Coating work on headers? I actually had this conversation with a buddy of mine last week and he said it would work good....has any of you guys tried this yet? If so how is it holding up?
well i called a guy today to see about powder coating my manifolds and he said that it would never last i told him that i had heard of people doing it to theirs and they had good luck and he said no way it will not work and he owned a powder coating place so not sure if he knows what he is talking about or not so im gonna try one of the ideas you guys have given me here just not sure which one yet
Powder coating is polyester based, how long would a pair of polyester pants last on your exhaust manifold? The plaid ones last 10 seconds longer than striped.
Powder coat will not work on exhaust manifolds/headers, heads, intakes (with exhaust crossovers) or polyester pants. :p
She may not look like much, but she's got it where it counts, kid. I've made a lot of special modifications myself.

Journalists continue to search for a viable business model that supports online hyperlocal publications, but they won't ever reach the threshold of revenues to maintain operations if they rely solely on traditional advertising fees from local merchants. That doesn't mean local advertising is also poised to fall off a cliff. On the contrary, BIA/Kelsey states the prospects for online local advertising will double by 2015, but much of that growth will come from new mobile applications and daily deals category vendors. Here are five reasons why hyperlocal news faces hurdles to profitability:
1) Hyperlocal audiences are too granular to support traditional revenue models. Local banner ads aren't economically viable. Traffic to online hyperlocal publications is inherently small due to geography, and total ad revenue based on CPM (cost per thousand views) won't even cover the costs of the ad sales force.
Report on AOL's hyperlocal network Patch.com's traffic sourced from Business Insider "Leaked Reports on Patch traffic"
Article comment:Chris L on Jun 24, 1:18 PM said:If their page views really are only 783K for a month in So Cal, that translates to less than $5K in revenue for a month. I doubt they can build a sustainable business on that. Revenue = (783,000/1000)*3*$2 Assumptions: $2 CPM (generous) and 3 ad slots per page.
2. Local advertising alternatives are proliferating. Newspapers lost their classifieds revenue to Craigslist. The growing number of pay for performance business models including paid search, daily deals and the new mobile ad applications are cannibalizing media spending. Advertising options will continue to expand for local merchants, leaving a smaller piece of the pie to hyperlocal news.
3. Hyperlocal media resources are proliferating. Traditional media has relegated the business community to being simply the "advertisers" and not involving them in content sourcing. Yet on the local social media, many committed bloggers are the business owners who want to discuss their industry and community, and by extension market themselves. Traditional media needs to incorporate the business community as journalistic partners instead of trying to sell to them all the time.
New community service business models are developing that focus on engaging the community around local news and providing free advertising to businesses, adding further pressure on traditional ad sales. Facebook and other social networks may also evolve into hyperlocal community platforms that center on community sourced and shared news. In sum, hyperlocal news resources will proliferate as alternatives to traditional local media, simply because it's easier to build these properties now.
4. Local merchants are learning how to self market using the social media. Roost reports merchants believing it is four times more effective than paid search. Those merchants that can't do it will be taught or be serviced by local social media / ad agencies, or even the traditional media publishers themselves. Gannett wisely set up GannettLocal.com to engage with local businesses as their social media marketing educator and partner.
5. There is a visible example of an unworkable local media model. Patch.com, AOL's effort to build a hyperlocal news network from scratch even when local news revenues were falling, demonstrates and even confirms the high hurdles in building a profitable local ad model.
After a year and $150 million, Patch doesn't seem to be gaining the revenue traction it needs to warrant further investment, and AOL is working with investment bankers on restructuring. The Patch exercise may shut the door on the idea of building a scalable hyperlocal network based on paid content.

There are moments in the lives of those living in certain Muslim nations in which one wonders as to whether the world of 2010 is functioning or is once trapped in a time that has scant connection to reality. Charlotte Adams, a British female was in a restaurant in Dubai with Ayman Nayat when she reached over to touch his arm and give him a peck on the cheek. A Dubai woman in the restaurant witnessed this gross violation of Islamic law and reported it to the restaurant manager who then informed the police about the presence of terrorists in his establishment. The two were then sentenced to a a month in jail for violating Dubai law which forbids kissing, drinking or holding hands in public. As the British Embassy warns beware of those actions because if not, you may face time in jail.
No outsider has the right to tell others how to conduct themselves. But, if a nation seeks tourists from all over the world, it might help to loosen restrictions and at least enter the 18th century. After all, Muslim nations like Turkey, Egypt, Indonesia, etc.. allow a peck or so in public.

The Malik Report
Krupa, Khan: Senators defenseman Jared Cowen expresses remorse for hit on Red Wings' Pavel Datsyuk
by George Malik on 11/30/13 at 02:55 PM ET
Comments (16)
The Ottawa Senators practiced ahead of Sunday's reunion with Red Wings forward Daniel Alfredsson, and the Detroit News's Gregg Krupa reports that Senators defenseman Jared Cowen may have had one more thing going for him in terms of dodging a suspension: remorse:
jared cowen, 6'5", 225 pound defenseman who hit datsyuk last week, said, "i feel bad he got hurt. i didn't want to. it was just... 1/2
2/2 "one of those quick plays where i was just trying to get a bump on him, going back to the net. obviously, it caught him in the chin."
can i say one thing in young cowen's defense? his elbows are a just about everyone else's head.
that said, the red wings must do what they can to protect datsyuk and zetterberg. b. probert: "no one touches stevie."
That doesn't change the fact that Datsyuk's still concussed, of course. MLive's Ansar Khan confirms Cowen's comments in article form:
Ottawa Senators defenseman Jared Cowen said he feels bad that his errant elbow injured Pavel Datsyuk and said he hopes the Detroit Red Wings star returns to the action soon.
"I feel bad he got hurt; I didn't mean to (injure him),'' Cowen said Saturday, after practice at the Canadian Tire Centre. "It was one of those quick plays where you just want to get a bump on him before you go back to the net. Obviously, caught him on the chin. I didn't feel like it was that hard, though. I never really hit a guy in the face with an elbow before, so I felt bad. But at the time, I didn't really mean to hit him in the face.''
Concussion-like symptoms will keep Datsyuk idled for a fourth consecutive game Sunday, when the Red Wings visit the Senators (5:30 p.m., Fox Sports Detroit). He is listed as day-to-day but has skated only briefly (for 10 minutes on Wednesday) since that game.
Datsyuk was injured with 7:48 remaining in the third period of Ottawa's 4-2 victory in Detroit on Nov. 23. He played three more shifts but didn't feel well after the game.
"I think I hit him right in the button … just by chance it got him right in the spot,'' the 6-foot-5, 228-pound Cowen said. "It's too bad. I hope he's back, but at the same time, (it was an) accident.''
Khan continues, and again, here's the hit:

If you cause a car accident and hurt someone, you are made responsible for that and face consequences. I don't understand why Cowen has not been punished in any way.
Posted by griffinsfan on 11/30/13 at 03:42 PM ET
I agree that he should have been punished… the facial contact may have been an accident, but the throwing out of the elbow in order to compensate for being an inferior skater is reckless at the least, especially seeing that it was also late AND was the culmination of an obvious gameplan of goonery.
With all that said, I sure hope "the red wings must do what they can to protect datsyuk and zetterberg. b. probert: "no one touches stevie."" isn't somehow implying that we need to exact some kind of revenge. I really don't think there was an intent to injure on this play, but rather a poor decision by a player who can't do what Pav can do. I think the chops to the back of the legs earlier in the game were probably more egregious in an "intent" sense. But with the way we are rolling, we should continue to do what we are doing. We are playing great hockey and do not need to distract ourselves with trying to rectify Shanny's decision not to suspend or fine. Hell, I hate to say it, but assuming there's no longterm issues with Dats, Cowen has appeared to do us a favor of sorts. It appears that losing Pav for a short time was just the injection of self reliance the secondary scorers needed. If Pav comes back and the rest of the team continues to play like they are, we are going to be a force. Can we say it wouldn't have happened if Pav doesn't get hurt? Of course not, but it makes sense that losing the best player in the world might have that effect (the "Malkin effect"?).

I'm tired of the story, too, but I've got to report it. And I don't expect the Wings to engage in any cheap shit. They've got a game to win tomorrow and that's what matters.
Posted by George Malik from South Lyon, MI on 11/30/13 at 04:20 PM ET
"It was one of those quick plays where you just want to get a bump on him before you go back to the net ... I didn't really mean to hit him in the face.''
So as is typical in hockey and i said from the outset, Cowan was going to get a piece of him puck or no puck. He intended to hit him in some way. He was trying to slow him down. This was no accidental lifting of the arm. He just let fly a 'chicken wing' and injured him. Just like Steckel was just going to give Crosby an innocent 'blind side' bump .... that how hockey is played. Always has been always will be. Heck look at Z working over whiny Toews last spring. We loved it.
The issue is that when your extra shots go bad, like here, you need to be willing to pay the price. Either from the office of the Shanahan or from the first of the Probie.
In this case nothing happens and the 6'5 Cowan will just do it again and be remorseful again. Dumb league.
Posted by RW19 on 11/30/13 at 04:43 PM ET
I gotta tell you, I'm still not happy about the Wing response. While I understand there will be nothing done tomorrow, at the time, you don't let your best player get dotted with nothing said or done, it was a poor showing by the Red Wings.
Posted by MurrayChadwick from Holland Hate Hyperbole Town (HHHT) on 11/30/13 at 05:19 PM ET
Per an earlier TMR post, no lineup changes. So I guess the best revenge is winning the game rather than getting our pound of flesh outta Cowan.

i know we are all pissed at Cowen but damn do i wish he was on the wings.

[sarcasm] Yeah, geez, I wonder why people get so worked up over Pavel Datsyuk getting concussed…I mean, the guy said he didn't mean to do it, give him a break [/sarcasm]
Seriously? Give ME a break. People are allowed to be upset about this hit a week later. Accidental or not accidental, it was negligent, and it concussed somebody who's still dealing with the after-effects thereof.

This inaction from anyone of Dangles team mates is a sore spot. No matter what the outcome(we have no tough-guys) any response would have been in order at some point before the game was over. You know, just to send a message. Who knows, maybe tomorrow will bring some kind of retribution. A good old fashioned beat down would be just fine with me, and, I am not a fan of fighting. A win on top of that would make my day.
Let's Go Red Wings!!!!!

There seem to be two commenters on any thread - lovable homers and trolling contrarians. I'm so happy to be in the former than the latter camp because I can't imagine how awful it would be if my joy in life came from pretending to be so much smarter than everyone else.
That said, Cowen was outclassed, outmatched and desperate. He threw an elbow trying to get something when there was nothing to be had and something bad happened. A suspension and/or a beating won't make him realize his mistake more than he does already. It also won't make him less likely to do it again in the same circumstance.

If you think computer security has improved in recent years, The Myths of Security will shake you out of your complacency. Longtime security professional John Viega, formerly Chief Security Architect at McAfee, reports on the sorry state of the industry, and offers concrete suggestions for professionals and individuals confronting the issue.
Why is security so bad? With many more people online than just a few years ago, there are more attackers -- and they're truly motivated. Attacks are sophisticated, subtle, and harder to detect than ever. But, as Viega notes, few people take the time to understand the situation and protect themselves accordingly. This book tells you:
Provocative, insightful, and always controversial, The Myths of Security not only addresses IT professionals who deal with security issues, but also speaks to Mac and PC users who spend time online.
John Viega, the founder and CEO of Stonewall Software, is a well-known security expert and the coauthor of Building Secure Software (Addison-Wesley) and Network Security with OpenSSL (O'Reilly). John is responsible for numerous software security tools and is the original author of Mailman, the GNU mailing list manager. He holds a B.A. and M.S. in computer science from the University of Virginia. Mr. Viega is also an adjunct professor of Computer Science at Virginia Tech (Blacksburg) and is a senior policy researcher at the Cyberspace Policy Institute.

Food for thoughts about security
By p6ril
from Guyancourt, France
About Me Developer
Comments about oreilly The Myths of Security:
This book is a nice introduction about what computer systems security is and means. It explains the various aspects of security and digs into the minds of the "bad guys" to explain the challenges security professional do face.One nice thing about this book is that it's an easy read, almost entertaining. Each chapter covers independent topics and is short. You can almost consider each chapter as a short story. Hence if one isn't interested in one particular subject, she can easily skip it or browse through it quickly.This book is only an mainly informational so don't really expect anything practical out of it (technically speaking). As I mentioned in the title, it is essentially food for thoughts.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Self-opinionated book without real facts
By joblack
from Berlin, Germany
About Me Sys Admin
The book begins by praising John Viega's career start at McAfees (vibe: he 'saved' the company and gave it the right direction).The chapters are full of his own opinions without real scientific background.The apex of opinions can be found in Chapter 23 and 24 where he claims opinions like ""if you don't have anything to hide, what's thedeal ...". He argues that most of the people don't care about privacy and anonymity so it shouldn't be a high priority for you.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend
Security Industry - The Broken Model

About Me Designer
Most of the Security Products give you a false sense of security. But John Viega shows you the broken picture of the Security Industry and explain you why the Security products/technologies really can't provide you same the level security they are designed to provide.Its a wonderful book for anyone who is concerned about security
Very Entertaining; Practical;
By jdruin
from Kentucky
About Me Designer, Developer, Educator
This book is an easy, fun, and somewhat scary read all at the same time. It accomplishes its goal of raising awareness about security issues by presenting material in small chapters that focus on a particular point.The book is really a collection of short stories; each about a particular topic that is either directly about security or affected by security. The average chapter is probably about 5 pages, with most being between 2 and 7 pages. (230 pages in all, 48 chapters). I like this approach because it keeps the stories interesting. )If the reader does get bored with a particular topic, it will be over soon anyway.) Also, the chapters are independently written so the reader can skip around at will.The style used is quite entertaining. There is a slight hint of sarcasm in some areas but it is not overwhelming. The material itself is fairly serious (i.e. - identity theft, anti-virus, corporate security, etc), but the problems are presented in way that is easy to read. Also, while the problems presented seem generally impossible to solve if one only reads the popular press (the world is coming to and end -turn to page 3 to see why), the book gives practical advice and/or suggestions of what we might do about such problems. There is a fair amount of "warnings" also given.Overall, what advice is given is practical. For some problems where the author does not have an answer, he says so and points to areas that may be able to help in the future.The point of the book it seems is to raise awareness of security issues. It does an excellent job of this.Security professionals will like the book although I suspect they probably already know much of the material. More importantly, readers whose main profession is not security will be able to easily understand the problems presented. This should provide a fun/scary read but also get people thinking about these issues and their implication to our daily lives.

Good, but not what I expected

About Me Security Engineer, Sys Admin
The Myths of Security, by John ViegaAfter reading a brief overview of this book I was really excited to read it. As an information security professional, I was hoping the author would stir up some controversial thoughts and ideas that may have me rethinking the way I am doing things. What I got was a book that was a very good read, but nothing revolutionary. The book is organized into forty-eight topics, each a separate chapter consisting of a few pages each. Each chapter was just long enough to give some details or opinions about a topic without boring the reader with mundane page filler.The Likes:Chapter 16: The Cult of Schneier, was a great chapter. Yes, Bruce Schneier is one of the smartest minds in the industry, but he is the first to tell people not to be sheep. The author takes this one step further and declares do not take everything Schneier says as gospel, he is human, and can be wrong. Although I agree with the authors' thoughts that he will get a lot of flack for these comments from the "Cult of Schneier," I thought it was a great way to tell people to think for themselves and think outside the box.Chapter 24: Open Source Security: A Red Herring was my favorite chapter in this book. It looks at both sides of the open source software vs. closed source software debate. This portion of the book was written in a way to let the reader come to the own conclusion about the debate, and not just rely on the authors' opinion. It was an unbiased view on the pros and cons to both types of software solutions.Chapter 30: "Responsible Disclosure" isn't Responsible, was another great chapter. Again the author presented many pros and cons to both sides of the debate about public disclosure of vulnerabilities. This was again a chapter that shows the reader how the software industry currently views disclosure and lets the reader decide how they feel about the issue. In my opinion, this is one of the few chapters that will make you think about your stand on the topic and maybe help you choose a position.All of the anti-virus chapters were very well written, as expected from someone who has worked for one of the largest anti-virus developers. These chapters gave enough insight and detail about how the software works to let a layman understand, but not so much detail that they drowned in information.The Dislikes:In chapter 5 the author talks about the security software he runs, and then common security software that he does not run, including: firewalls and AV. His arguments for not running these items seemed very weak, especially for a guy who works for an anti-virus company. I would have liked more insight into his thought process.I found one contradiction that stood out, in Chapter 3 the author states that "However, these days, few services are visible by default..." when talking about need of firewalls. In Chapter 5 the author states firewalls are needed because "people typically leave lots of vulnerable services on machines that are directly accessible to a lot of people". Which is it?Overall this book was a very fast (you could read it on a short flight), but very good read. It may not challenge your perspective as I had previously thought, but it is a good refresher as to why some of us work in the Information Security industry.Review Written By Wayne M Gipson, CISSP, CISA

Submitted to: Soil Science Society of America Annual Meeting
Publication Type: Abstract Only
Publication Acceptance Date: 12/25/2007
Publication Date: N/A
Citation: N/A Interpretive Summary:
Technical Abstract: Soil scientists interested in landscape processes are faced with a trade-off when it comes to data collection: spatial vs. temporal resolution. We can infrequently measure static soil properties at many locations and interpolate spatially using external variables (e.g. terrain) or geostatistics. Or we can frequently monitor dynamic soil properties at relatively few locations. The goal of the collaborative project we present here is to think about how best to combine high spatial and high temporal resolution data to construction high spatio-temporal resolution soil process models. Toward this end, at the 90 acre Cook Agronomy Farm in Eastern Washington, we have installed 60 EC-TE sensors that measure volumetric water content, electrical conductivity and temperature. Using landscape analysis, 12 representative sites were selected using a stratified random procedure and sensors were installed at 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 ft depths. Radio frequency wireless transmitters link sensors to a central data station where it is made available to anywhere in the world via a cell phone link. For spatial modeling, we have analyzed soil cores at approximately 180 locations, with 5-m resolution terrain, electrical conductivity (wet and dry season), and yield. For this talk we will present an overview of this work and initial scaling approaches.
