Bruce Schneier, Marcus Ranum debate the realities of cyberwar
Cyberwar: Myth or Reality?
|Cyberwar: Myth or Reality?
Marcus Ranum
Point Ever since Winn Schwartau's science fiction novel Information Warfare accidentally wound up on the nonfiction shelves in 1994, cyberwar and cyberterror have been embedded in the security zeitgeist. I used to ridicule the idea--and mostly still do--but it's becoming clear we are on a trajectory in which: 1) the security of governments remains truly bad and, 2) we rely on that security more and more.
As we saw in Estonia, a concerted attack can easily disrupt a government's systems. The question is whether an all-out cyberwar is becoming practical. Ten years ago I'd have laughed at the idea, but today I'm less sure. When you hear of someone (allegedly the Chinese) accessing 10 to 20 TB of sensitive but unclassified data from the Department of Defense's NIPRnet, it's clear there's potential for huge problems. What really has me on the fence, though, is the poor security I've seen in SCADA systems. It would be possible to do tremendous damage by attacking civilian infrastructure.
That is the high-value target for a cyberattack, and proponents have always talked of a cyberattack acting as a force multiplier--a way of confusing and degrading command and control, paving the way for a conventional attack. But here's the problem: that's state-sponsored cyberterror, not cyberwarfare.
I don't care how much you pretty it up; you can't crash someone's power grid, kill their phone system and ground their aircraft without causing civilian casualties and damage. I'm still idealistic enough to think it's immoral to first target civilians. In fact, I suspect if a nation-state were to cyber-attack the U.S., Washington would bang the terrorism drum. Cyberwarfare is kept as a gray area, and I worry it's one where our administration considers it appropriate to do unto others what we'd never tolerate being done to us.
|As I write this, government spokespeople are making accusations that China is sponsoring penetrations and attacks against U.S. government agencies, including the DoD. I don't think the government has a lot of credibility in this area, but if we're going to start throwing around those accusations, we ought to clarify at what point we're going to start to treat government-sponsored penetrations as more than Internet hijinks. When is it proper to make formal accusations of espionage, and when are you dealing with an act of war? This vagary makes me uncomfortable, because politicians have a long history of making stupid decisions about gray areas.
I am not one to run around yelling "the sky is falling," and I don't think we're yet at a point when we are likely to come under a cyberattack. But, as the world's most technological superpower, and a country whose popularity is on the wane, we're the most likely target. I'd like to see a government policy on how the U.S. will respond in the event of a state-sponsored computer attack, and whether the U.S. will (I hope it won't!) consider other nations' civilian computer infrastructures as legitimate targets. It might help reduce the likelihood of attacks, as our stated policy on the use of nuclear weapons has (arguably) affected other nations' policies on threatening nuclear engagement with the U.S.
It seems ridiculous to equate a silly thing like attacks on computers with use of nuclear weapons, but if we stay on our current curve of computerizing everything and connecting it to the Internet, there may come a time when we'll wish we'd clarified some of these issues back when it wasn't such a big deal. Like now.
Cyberwar: Myth or Reality?
Bruce Schneier
CounterPoint The biggest problems in discussing cyberwar are the definitions. The things most often described as cyberwar are really cyberterrorism, and the things most often described as cyberterrorism are more like cybercrime, cybervandalism or cyberhooliganism--or maybe cyberespionage.
At first glance there's nothing new about these terms except the "cyber" prefix. War, terrorism, crime and vandalism are old concepts. What's new is the domain; it's the same old stuff occurring in a new arena. But because cyberspace is different, there are differences worth considering.
Of course, the terms overlap. Although the goals are different, many tactics used by armies, terrorists and criminals are the same. Just as they use guns and bombs, they can use cyberattacks. And just as every shooting is not necessarily an act of war, every successful Internet attack, no matter how deadly, is not necessarily an act of cyberwar. A cyberattack that shuts down the power grid might be part of a cyberwar campaign, but it also might be an act of cyberterrorism, cybercrime or even--if done by some 14-year-old who doesn't really understand what he's doing--cyberhooliganism. Which it is depends on the attacker's motivations and the surrounding circumstances--just as in the real world.
For it to be cyberwar, it must first be war. In the 21st century, war will inevitably include cyberwar. Just as war moved into the air with the development of kites, balloons and aircraft, and into space with satellites and ballistic missiles, war will move into cyberspace with the development of specialized weapons, tactics and defenses.
|I have no doubt that smarter and better-funded militaries are planning for cyberwar. They have Internet attack tools: denial-of-service tools; exploits that would allow military intelligence to penetrate military systems; viruses and worms similar to what we see now, but perhaps country- or network-specific; and Trojans that eavesdrop on networks, disrupt operations, or allow an attacker to penetrate other networks. I believe militaries know of vulnerabilities in operating systems, generic or custom military applications, and code to exploit those vulnerabilities. It would be irresponsible for them not to.
The most obvious attack is the disabling of large parts of the Internet, although in the absence of global war, I doubt a military would do so; the Internet is too useful an asset and too large a part of the world economy. More interesting is whether militaries would disable national pieces of it. For a surgical approach, we can imagine a cyberattack against a military headquarters, or networks handling logistical information.
Destruction is the last thing a military wants to accomplish with a communications network. A military only wants to shut down an enemy's network if it isn't acquiring useful information. The best thing is to infiltrate enemy computers and networks, spy on them, and surreptitiously disrupt select pieces of their communications when appropriate. The next best thing is to passively eavesdrop. After that, perform traffic analysis: analyze the characteristics of communications. Only if a military can't do any of this would it consider shutting the thing down. Or if, as sometimes but rarely happens, the benefits of completely denying the enemy the communications channel outweigh the advantages of eavesdropping on it.
Cyberwar is certainly not a myth. But you haven't seen it yet, despite the attacks on Estonia. Cyberwar is warfare in cyberspace. And warfare involves massive death and destruction. When you see it, you'll know it.

And yet gild I will, like I'm in some kind of gild guild. This is not to be confused with the Society of Gilders, of which I am not a member, Gilda Radner, whom I believe to have no association with gilding, or a gild of geldings, which I can only assume is a kind of anti-competitive business association of castrated horses.
Sometimes I worry about falling down when riding downhill. Most times I don't worry about this and I've only ever fallen once and this was as result of my haphazardly and mistakenly rolling over a concrete slab, which is not something I normally do. Downhill riding, which is by far my favorite riding vis-a-vis hills, is also the time I feel the most anxious. Maybe this is because I don't go skiing. I might take up skiing to establish a better relationship with hills and gravity.
There's a right way to ride on the sidewalk- slow, deferential, unfunly, and then there's the way when you weave around pedestrians and poles (Poles who are pedestrians if you're in Krakow) and other street objects and even if you're going just as slowly as you would when riding deferentially, this is somehow worse and gets you a much worse reaction from pedestrian types. No one wants to be a slalom pole or a slalom Pole if you're in Krakow. I highly encourage you to visit Krakow if you've never been. Some of my favorite medieval queens are buried there.
I biked a perfect on L Street, which was great, but even greater is my unlocking the mystery of car traffic backups on L Street and I can tell you that it has nothing to do with cyclists on the cycle track. Of course, I'm a bike apologist, so you can take this with a grain of salt (Krakow has salt mines!), but the real problem that creates the car traffic backups on L Street is the pedestrians crossing the street, especially on the number streets. This prevents drivers from turning left and/or right because they have to wait for the intersection to clear. Seriously. Almost all of the "traffic" is caused by people in cars waiting for people on foot. Bikes have little/nothing to do with it. I have some potential solutions:
- Ban people from crossing the street.
- Ban cars from turning
- Give all drivers and all pedestrians bikes
I didn't say they were good solutions.
11th to Penn and up the hill, this time on the Senate side. The Capitol looked lovely and I took a blurry picture:
We may have the building, but the jackasses inside are the rest of America's. Stop blaming DC. The rest of you are the ones sending them here.
I dropped my glove on East Capitol and this was pointed out to me by a nice guy who saw the glove fall from my pocket. Thanks, nice guy.
I stopped at the store and bought eggs noodles and beer. It was "boil egg noodles in beer" night our house for dinner tonight. Healthy and delicious. Just kidding. It's not that healthy. I advocate for bikes, but more so, I advocate for daily grocery shopping by bike. I find it much nicer than stocking up and actually having things in the house and not having to scramble to pick up some random assemblage of things in order to fend off starvation.

Behind the Scenes at Bloedel Reserve
Shortly after I published a previous article detailing the impact of my first visit to the sublime Bloedel Reserve, I received a lovely note from Ed Moydell, the reserve's new Executive Director. It seems that he and I shared something in common — we were both deeply moved by our first impressions of Bloedel and we both wished that more people outside the gardening community knew about the place. In pursuit of the latter, Ed offered to take Sara and I on a behind the scenes tour of the grounds, where we took in the sights and smells of Fall as we discussed the past and, more importantly, the future of Bloedel Reserve.
Bloedel Reserve is luckier than most organizations and experiences that are vying for the attention of people these days in that not only is the place itself amazing, but it has an incredible history — a rich genesis story of family, love, art, forestry, and architecture that is fun to turn around in your head as you reflect on what the place means to you.
Narrative such as these offer an avenue for understanding and sympathy that, in turn, leads to deeply felt connection on a personal level. For instance, there's a reason why a whole new crowd of people all of a sudden wanted to go see Prince live in concert after the semi-autobiographical film Purple Rain came out. The fact is, that once you give something a context — a framework for understanding — even the best experiences somehow seem better and more interesting. It's a fact that concerts seem better when you know the words to the songs, but they seem doubly awesome when you feel like you know the performers themselves. More locally, one of the smallest, slowest towns around — Forks, WA — became a tourist destination just because it was the setting for vampire love in the Twilight book series. People naturally try to project a narrative onto everything they encounter, and they love it when that narrative already exists. Bloedel Reserve might not quite have vampires (or Prince), but the place does have a story to tell.
Bloedel does have challenges, though, as they try to start a conversation with a new group of would-be visitors. Even though they've got the charm and the pedigree, getting the word out to a new generation that may not exactly be open to hearing anything about a "garden" is a challenging project, to be sure. How do you make a place like Bloedel sound relevant to people before they experience it for themselves? How do you communicate the poignant environments, the history, the architecture, and the unmistakable feeling (energetically relaxed?) this place instills in you? Is this a brand you can deliver on with just history and a walk through the grounds, or do you have to add another layer or two to the experience? What are those other layers? Parties? Picnics? Concerts? Lectures? Interactive Video? How many layers can you add before you're not telling the same story anymore?
You can't shout a bedtime story, but there's always a way to get more people to hear you without sacrificing the effect of what you're saying. In today's hyper-connected world, people are learning that they don't necessarily have to talk louder to spread a story. Instead, they try to get the community to retell the story amongst themselves. Going viral is the new network TV. Fortunately for Bloedel, a good story is first ingredient in this elusive recipe.
Anyway, this challenge — of perception, appeal, and publicity — is one of the many things we discussed with Ed while we were on our walk. We also talked a lot about the recent improvements and future plans for the grounds at Bloedel.
A big draw of the Bloedel experience is the way that you almost feel like you've got the place to yourself as you explore its vast acreage. In order to increase the amount of visitors to the Reserve — and still retain this feeling of solitude — the park is on a trajectory to add even more pathways and open up more areas of the grounds to the public. One of the most exciting is called Fern Hill.
Fern Hill is on the eastern side of the grounds down the hill from the main house and close to the water. Once it is open, you will be able to enjoy numerous vistas overlooking Puget Sound as you wind your way through the ferns and giant trees of the forest. Adding more opportunities for ocean views highlights another unique and very 'Northwestern' aspect of Bloedel Reserve. When I think of this part of the country, the combination of water with lush green forests is very much at the front of my mind. This is a tiny slice of Puget Sound in its most elemental state.
At the end of our tour, Ed brought Sara and I into the guest house in the middle of the Japanese garden. A building tailor-made for hosting, this low-slung retreat is a nexus of glass, wood, and paper. If Mad Men's Bert Cooper was looking for a vacation home on Bainbridge Island, this building would certainly do the trick. The place, designed by architect Paul Hayden Kirk, is amazing — possessing of a feeling of structure and openness that stems from the fact that none of the interior rooms are completely walled off. The open floor plan coupled with the 360 degree wrap-around porch makes this house the ultimate place to throw a soiree.
Outside, a zen rock garden calms the spot where the swimming pool used to be. Family friend and Pulitzer prize winning poet Theodore Roethke drowned here in 1963, the victim of a heart attack. The family ordered the pool filled in the very next day. There is no plaque, but the mysterious power of this hidden history lends this part of the garden a dark but redemptive essence.
In fact, it is easy to imagine that you are being accompanied by various spirits as you walk the grounds of the reserve. This is a place where people lived, and in many ways it feels occupied still. Perhaps Ed should set up a summer movie night where everyone can sit on the lawn and watch My Neighbor Totoro, Hayao Miyazaki's lively ode to forest spirits, friendship, and family. This might be a fun way to introduce a whole new generation to the wonder and the magic that the natural world communicates to those that take the time to listen.
Bloedel Reserve is a truly a place for wonder and magic. Go Listen.

I've been buying Stacy's Organic Tortillas in bulk lately and using them primarily for making sandwich wraps. The kids love the wraps and they worked well in their camp lunches this summer and in school lunches for Ava in kindergarten. I admit I enjoy them myself as well.
However, I may have found a new use for the tortillas that I love even more than the wraps. Thanks to my friend Melissa, I am now making 5-minute tortilla pizzas! I know I said they were for lunch, but I've made them for dinner too on those nights I need a quick meal.
5-minute tortilla pizzas
– Tortilla (white flour, wheat flour, whatever you desire)
– Cheese (shredded mozzarella, goat cheese, soy cheese, whatever you prefer)
– Sauce (store-bought tomato sauce is easy, but so is homemade canned sauce – provided you made it prior to this, pesto works well too)
– Optional: additional toppings. I would make sure they are already cooked and don't add too many or it could affect the quality of the pizza. Also, because the crust is very thin (it's a tortilla after all), you don't want to weigh it down with an overload of toppings.
Lay a tortilla on a pizza pan, cookie sheet or baking stone. (I recommend only one tortilla per pan unless two fit well. They didn't cook as evenly when I tried to put two on one cookie sheet.)
Spread a thin layer or sauce on tortilla. (Add additional toppings if desired. Remember, don't add much or it will weigh down your tortilla too much.)
Sprinkle with cheese. (The kids can totally help out with making these too, though that might add a little extra time to the preparation.)
Put in oven under broiler until cheese melts. This only takes a few minutes so definitely keep an eye on it.
Remove from oven, let cool, slice and serve or save to pack in a school lunch the next day.
The kids love them and so do I. Easy, peasy and oh so cheesy! 😉 Thanks again, Mel!

Linux: 25 Iptables Netfilter Firewall Examples For New SysAdminslast updated in Categories Iptables, Linux, Linux distribution, Linux Embedded devices, Linux laptop
Linux comes with a host based firewall called Netfilter. The netfilter is a set of hooks inside the Linux kernel that allows kernel modules to register callback functions with the network stack. A registered callback function is then called back for every packet that traverses the respective hook within the network stack. This Linux based firewall is controlled by the program called iptables to handles filtering for IPv4, and ip6tables handles filtering for IPv6. I strongly recommend that you first read our quick tutorial that explains how to configure a host-based firewall called Netfilter (iptables) under CentOS / RHEL / Fedora / Redhat Enterprise Linux. If you are using Ubuntu/Debian Linux, see how to setup UFW for more info. This post lists most simple iptables solutions required by a new Linux user to secure his or her Linux operating system from intruders.

Formula One team McLaren on Tuesday denied reports that driver Jenson Button is nursing a leg injury ahead of next weekend's Spanish Grand Prix.
The 2009 world champion pulled out of a triathlon on the Canary Islands last weekend with reported muscle problems during the half-marathon.
"Jenson decided not to complete the Canary Islands triathlon, but he is fit and well and has, contrary to a few rogue media reports, no injuries of any kind," a McLaren spokesman told us on Tuesday.
"Indeed, he is driving in our simulator today and is looking forward to participating in the forthcoming Spanish Grand Prix."

EDITOR'S NOTE: How can the development community overcome barriers to providing better economic opportunities for women? A partnership between the U.N. Foundation and ExxonMobil might help address this challenge, Isobel Coleman of the Council on Foreign Relations writes in her article in the Democracy in Development blog.
The benefits of improving women's economic opportunities are clear: when women control income, they invest it in their families, particularly in the health and education of their children, helping to break cycles of poverty. Women also contribute to the economic growth of their communities. Research from McKinsey shows that since 1970, as women's greater labor participation took off, their productivity has accounted for a quarter of U.S. GDP. In the developing world, women are estimated to own 40 to 50 percent of businesses.
Yet, as the World Bank's World Development Report 2012 notes, "pervasive and persistent gender differences remain in productivity and earnings across different sectors and jobs. Indeed, many women around the world appear to be caught in a productivity trap—one that imposes significant costs on women's welfare and economic empowerment today and serious disincentives to invest in the women of tomorrow." As the World Bank's reportexplains, it's not that women are worse farmers, workers, or entrepreneurs than men, it's just that they face particular constraints–notably in time (due to care responsibilities), skills, and access to land and credit.
Figuring out how best to address these constraints has become a high priority in development circles. But the reality is that we still know very little about what works and what doesn't work in improving women's economic productivity.
To address this knowledge gap, ExxonMobil and the United Nations Foundation (UNF) have joined forces to evaluate interventions promoting women's economic opportunity. As Mayra Buvinic from the UN Foundation said last week at a meeting of the ExxonMobil roundtable series at the Council on Foreign Relations, "we know a great deal about the determinants of inequality, but little about what interventions actually succeed."
Panelist Markus Goldstein, a senior economist at the World Bank, echoed the importance of this research and the need to "raise the bar on gender data." Strong evidence exists on the barriers women face, but we know less about how to overcome them. Goldstein explainedthat while evaluations of economic development interventions do occur, they rarely have a gender dimension. Moreover, randomized controlled trials–which are costly to do–often do not disaggregate gender.
Gender programs are therefore usually run on "well-informed hypotheses," noted Goldstein, and that can be frustrating. In order for investments in gender equity to be sustainable, it's important to demonstrate their effectiveness through hard data. As panelist Agnes Quisumbing from the International Food Policy Research Institute argued, the design of research and the type of data collected is critical. Longitudinal studies and experimentation matter.
In some areas, we do have relatively strong evidence about what works: for example, there is robust data on job training programs for women implemented in Latin America. Research shows that job skills programs are more likely to be successful if extra subsidies are offered for transport and childcare, and on-site job trainings are more successful in increasing women's economic earnings than in-classroom trainings. Still, it is not clear how well such results translate across regions.
With respect to business trainings–those designed to help female entrepreneurs start, grow, and sustain businesses–the findings are less clear. Preliminary research from the UN Foundation indicates that meeting the needs of poor women at the base of the pyramid is particularly challenging. Simply providing them with quality business trainings is not sufficient to make a difference. Such interventions are more successful if paired, for example, with initiatives to increase access to credit. However, this creates a tension between implementation capacity and program effectiveness for service delivery organization.
Clearly, more research is needed to understand how best to focus limited resources on improving women's economic potential. The opportunity is significant: for example, the Food and Agriculture Organization estimates that equalizing access to productive resources between female and male farmers could increase agricultural output in developing countries by 2.5 to 4 percent. The UNF's research seeks to marshal information that will provide a "roadmap for action" for the private and public sectors by identifying the best interventions across countries with different socio-cultural norms and stages of economic development. I will be following their progress closely and will revisit this topic when their final report is released next spring.

Michael Pollan dishes on Chipotle, his favorite restaurants and… beer?
I knew it wouldn't be easy getting Michael Pollan to squirm when I interviewed him for The Denver Post last week, but I certainly tried.
And not because I disagree with the celebrated author, journalist and all-around natural foods guru and activist. It's simply because, as a journalist myself, it's my duty to get him to say things that aren't part of his PR campaign, to reconsider his stances on any number of issues and to otherwise hold him accountable for any hypocrisies and discrepancies in his message.
Of course, that's a fool's errand when you're talking about someone like Pollan, whom Time magazine listed as one of the 100 Most Influential People in the World in 2010, and whose New York Times bestselling books, "In Defense of Food" and "The Omnivore's Dilemma," have changed the way we talk (and think) about food over the past few years. Pollan's message is both practiced and lean, slick yet straightforward. And his belief in honest, timeworn eating practices is as earnest as it gets.
So without repeating anything from my Denver Post profile of Pollan, and in advance of his Paramount Theatre appearance on Feb. 29, here are some raw scraps from our phone interview. They shed a bit more light on Pollan's personality, including what he thinks of Denver fast-casual giant Chipotle, his favorite restaurants and his latest home-based concoctions.
Thanks for speaking with me today. I'm assuming you're at home (in the Bay Area) at the moment?
Yes I am.
What are you up right now?
I'm working on a book about transformations and I'm writing now about fermentation and beer. I've been making a lot of beer and learning what it's all about. So it's about cooking in the larger sense, transformations of nature into food and drink and why we do it and how it defines us. So I'm in the homestretch. I've been brewing myself and hanging out with some brewers.
What are you learning?
The microbiology of fermentation is fascinating. And pickling and cheese-making. It makes you realize the key breakthroughs in food processing are long past and we've done nothing to compare with them. When you think about fermenting food, it's keeping quality, nutritional value and its flavor profile. The steps we've been taking since World War II are just baby compared to that and in general we've been diminishing the nutritional quality.
So part of the reason you're visiting Denver is the re-publishing of (the 2009 book) "Food Rules," which now has some colorful illustrations from Maira Kalman. You've said of her: "She paints tables that make me think of a Matisse with a sense of humor and a good appetite."
Well, she's very playful and she's got kind of nice, ironic sensibility. She somehow manages to be both celebratory and ironic at the same time, which is very hard to do. She realizes that food is this wonderful vehicle of communion and celebration and at the same time we're very crazy about it. She's a neurotic New Yorker fundamentally, and coming to a place of sanity about food is going to involve holding some contradictory ideas in your head. It's not the end of the world to eat a bag of cheese doodles. On the other hand, how much more pleasurable is it to sit around a table and eat real food with friends? So she fundamentally captures the paradox of the book.
The findings of your research for the holy grail of nutritional health are basically: "Eat food. Not too much. Mostly plants." Why is that message so hard for many of us to hear and relate to?
Because it's been so complicated by "expert" opinions and government advice. But we live in a culture where there's a big market for common sense, because there's so little of it available and so much deliberate obfuscation coming from food marketers in particular. I mean, you walk down the cereal aisle at the grocery store and it's no wonder you have your head spun. There are cereals telling you they'll solve your heart disease problem and improve your kid's function at school, and the government allows these claims.
At the risk of sounding pessimistic, what do you think our real chances are of turning toward healthier diets? There are more diets and documentaries than ever, and yet obesity continues to go up. And then you've got Michelle Obama getting ridiculed by some on the right for trying to induce activity and nutrition in kids.
Well, first of all the First Lady may get ridiculed occasionally, but she's actually achieved quite a bit in terms of changing the conversation. Just two weeks ago she issued new rules about school lunches. She's raised consciousness. My worry is that all that conversation is co-opted by the industry again and used to market unhealthy food, which they're very good at. And those of us trying to get this message out about good food are up against this huge, $30 billion tidal wave of marketing. So the jury's out on what messages will prevail, but I think there will be some incremental moves in the right direction, some corporations that will be shamed into changing their behavior. And we've got some retailers like Wal-Mart trying to move the needle toward healthier foods and making produce more accessible. I think the harder battle is getting people to cook again, which is very important. But the second line of defense is improving the healthiness of fast food.
Can you name some examples? Maybe even some in Denver?
Chipotle does some really good things around sustainability — it's all fresh, they cook it there. Now on the other hand it's very high-calorie food. But it's a step in the right direction.

Be careful about the kids at the parking who try nabbing things from you! Realy be careful...they are also agressive... espessialy when the're with more the 5 or so. Don't pay them more than 5 Diram.
If it's flat everywhere around south Morroco, head for Tamri and there'll always be at least 1m/3ft, but the spot gets a bit dangerous over 2,5-3m because of the rips that take you offshore. Also the waves are hard to get when it's bigger. You will need a bigger board.
Not worth going unless nothing else works. Mainly because the locals are a pain in the ass.

Sand Bar down the Far right end - When it gets bigger 2-3m the far right corner past the rocks has some sand built up in the corner. Is usally a bit cleaner as it is hidden from that cross on wind which can be found so often at tamri.
Surf it if you dont mind abit of a mission. Leave stuff on the main beach and climb or paddle around tide dependant.
Enjoy,will post some pics if i get them off my brocken hard drive.

By pepsi twist , 26-04-2008
bad beachbreak - go there only when it's totally flat (and i mean less than 3 feet!) in taghazoute, then it's maybe worth the 30min-trip to tamri. it's a mess up there, strong current and a lot of close outs. but the waves are powerful and you might get some good ones... uncrowded when we were there.

Supporters rally for suspended coach, ask for reinstatement
More than 100 support Mihalovich at Des Moines Public Schools meeting
It has been nearly a month since Lincoln High School's football coach was suspended amid allegations of excessive discipline.
Tuesday night, those supporting coach Tom Mihalovich packed a school board meeting to plead for his reinstatement.
It was a passionate and oftentimes emotional plea for answers from a fan base growing increasingly upset, they say, by the pace of a district investigation.
"We want it settled, and we want Tom back on the sidelines," said the coach's mother, Nina.
More than 100 LHS backers gathered at Central Campus to support the suspended football coach.
"It's absolutely ridiculous. Somebody has to speak up for him, somebody has to get the word out and somebody has to fight to get his job back," said supporter Carol Tiernan-Williams.
Mihalovich's mother said the seemingly never-ending Des Moines Public Schools investigation is wearing on her son.
"He's just heartbroken," she said. "What's upsetting is the school district taking so long. And why? I mean, they're treating him terribly."
The crowd made a passionate plea on behalf of the veteran coach.
"This is four weeks, and coach Mihalovich's character has been assassinated and his name has been drug through the mud," said the coach's sister-in-law, Jennifer.
Supporters presented a petition to school board members.
"It has signatures from over 1,000 people in it that all support Tom Mihalovich and want to see him back on the sidelines," said supporter Mariah Flowers.
They asked for a timely resolution.
"The whole team is falling apart, and all these boys want is to have their coach back," said the coach's wife, Lauri. "This is his life, and he loves Lincoln High School, and that's all I want is this to be fair."
DMPS administrators wouldn't comment on the ongoing investigation but said the entire process is in its final stages.
Barring a last-minute decision, it appears Mihalovich will miss Friday's game at Valley -- his fifth straight since being suspended last month.

Bespoke e-Learning Induction
At e-learning WMB we like to think we make bespoke e-learning differently. There are 3 elements to this approach:
Quality: We construct e-learning that is closer to video documentaries than the Power Point style e-learning of old. We do not want to constrain your ideas to the limitations of existing e-learning development systems, to this end we have constructed our own e-Learning software: Jackdaw - which we freely share with our clients.
Cost: Amazingly quality does not come as a price. The green screen and animation techniques we use are actually quicker and less expensive to produce than using the illustration techniques of old.
Effectiveness: Our e-learning has a proven track record with some of the largest organisations in the world to produce e-learning that demonstrates a step change in effectiveness over traditional methods.
So if you want better quality e-learning, at a lower cost with a proven track record - 98% effectiveness in independent studies - then please contact us today for a free consultation.
Price Guarantee
e-learning WMB recently committed to our Price Guarantee which promises to match any like for like quote from your existing supplier. If you are not totally happy with your existing supplier then get in touch. We also guarantee that you will not be disappointed.
e-Learning Process
e-learning WMB has put together the following process as the result of years of work within e-learning. It is based on the XLD (Extreme Learning Development process that follows the principles of Prince II project management.)
Project Initiation
If you are starting a project with e-learning WMB, or even just thinking about it, then you will need to receive the project initiation document. This document contains our pricing structure and parameters within which we will work for you.
This document will allow you to get a full understanding of how much you will spend, what your level of contribution will be (this is up to you) and the quality of the final delivered e-learning.
Contact us to receive the Project Initiation Document.
On consultation with the client an appropriate look and feel is developed. This information is compiled into a Branding Document which contains sample screenshots with the client's brand.
This document is usually compiled from information taken from the client's website and any other information (marketing guidelines etc.) supplied by the client.
Click here for an example Branding guidelines report.
Scripts are produced online and shared with all members of the project team. Scripts can be compiled from base information supplied by the client, else (to lower costs) clients can supply scripts themselves. Examples of a script can be seen here.
Asbestos Awareness Script that produces the following course: Asbestos Awareness Course.
Our unique scripting process allows you to see what the finished e-learning will look like before ever commencing a project.
To work on the scripts you will need to sign up Gmail account then send us your email details and we will send you a blank script on which to start work or give us feedback. To make this work seamlessly with your existing email we recommend forwarding emails to your standard work email.
Contact us to start scripting process.
At this stage no charge will be levied towards e-learning development. e-Learning WMB strongly believe in putting the budgeting for projects in the hands of our clients. Taking the script we can give a firm price for the e-learning based on £500 for each e-learning topic (corresponds to a menu item at the bottom of the screen) with a set up fee of £2,500. This price includes everything (from editing software to presenter fees.)
Remember e-learning development is free to members for a maximum of three projects per year and more if general interest projects useful to all our members.
If you have a fixed budget we can work to that else we can quote based on your design.
A complete price-list is available online
Courses will usually take 2-4 weeks to build from receiving the finalized script to final sign-off - you can add on 2 weeks if the course additionally needs to be delivered as an App. Since we use rapid development techniques (reusable templates, filming rather than animation and photos rather than illustration) this keeps our prices down and our development rapid.
This does not mean that what you will receive is anything but market leading e-learning, more akin to a video documentary rather than a PowerPoint presentation.
If you have a hosted solution with us, then a branded e-Learning portal will be created for you as part of the delivery.
Contact us for a delivery timescale.
All e-Learning WMB courses are supplied with the Jackdaw CMS software which means you can edit any of the courses we supply free of charge. Text, videos and images can all be updated by even the most novice computer user.
Contact us for details about Jackdaw Software.
Final Word
If you belong to a business with over 100 trainees have you considered becoming a member? With free bespoke development, 25+ courses and all the e-learning software and support you will ever need this really is a one-stop shop solution.
Find out more about membership.
We look forward to starting your e-learning soon. Contact firstname.lastname@example.com to start the process today.

SKF equips the new Ferrari limited series special
2013 marzo 27, 10:00 CET
Gothenburg, 27 March 2013: SKF today announced that the company will supply bearings for the new hypercar model named LaFerrari, which recently made its public debut at the Geneva International Motor Show. The bearings are used for both the front and the rear wheels, as well as the gearbox, the engine and essential components for the functioning of the scissor doors of the car.
This limited-series special, produced for only 499 clients, is a hybrid supercar featuring 963hp andthat includes an electric motor developed from technology used in Scuderia Ferrari's F1 KERS, where SKF has been working in the technical partnership connected to this very innovative application area since the early development stages in 2007. The result expressed through this hyper car is a solution that exalts both Ferrari and SKF's fundamental technical values – excellence and performance.

The credit crunch and the hectic pace of modern life has inspired Professor Richard Wiseman to create what he believes is "the world's most relaxing room" at the University of Hertfordshire in Hatfield, just north of London. His research led him to invite visitors to lie down on soft matting with lavender scented pillows in a darkened room lit only with "a calming glade-like green light." A simulated blue sky is projected onto the ceiling above while a soundtrack specifically composed for the project by resident Professor of Music, Tim Blinko plays softly in the background.
Visitors to the exhibit were examined before and after their 15-minute stay in the room with heart monitors. Not surprisingly, most experienced a significant reduction in their heart rate. Wiseman hopes that similar facilities will be set up by organisations to combat stress related problems. He noted: "We are interested in helping out the commercial sector but this isn't a commercial exercise. We're not selling a relaxation room, we're selling the idea of relaxation."
Don't get me wrong, something like this would definitely help to reduce stress in the workplace. However, incidents of sleep-related tardiness would skyrocket. [University of Hertfordshire via Psysorg and the Guardian]

It's not easy being dyslexic. Unfortunately, one in every ten people have dyslexia. Aside from having it rough trying to read traditional print material like books and newspapers, dyslexics also often have a hard time processing web pages because most of the content are usually text-based.
So Aberlardo Gonzalez decided to do something about it: he created a free font called OpenDyslexic which thickens the bottom part of most letters, which reduces a symptom that rotates the images that a person with dyslexia is looking at. As Gonzalez puts it, no good deed goes unpunished as he was threatened with a cease and desist letter from fontmaker Christian Boer, who accused the former of copying a commercial dyslexic-targeted font he had created a couple of years back.
Gonzalez pushed forward though and is still offering his font for free, which has been his work in progress for over a year now. You can get the font here.

Ed, who along with Mary, had the crazy idea that #bikeDC people might like coffee and want to meet each other, baked this cake himself and out of humility put a Firehook bakery medallion on it. FUN FACT: After they rode Paris-Brest-Paris last year, Ed and Mary stayed in France to enroll in six-week intensive pastry study at Le Cordon Bleu in Paris. Unfortunately, they missed the first control. Their tandem stand mixer malfunctioned. And, maybe even better than cake, all attendees were given these cool pewter coffee buttons!:
FUN FACT: After Ed and Mary were kicked out of Le Cordon Bleu, they enrolled in an six-week intensive pewtersmithing program which they successfully completed! Not only do they have a dining room bike shop, their kitchen has been retrofitted for the smelting of various precious and non-precious metals!
Anyway, the cake was delicious and it was great to see everyone and if there's no cake at future meet-ups, I'm not coming. Friday Coffee and Cake Club or nothing. But in a slightly more serious note, I just want to say it's a pleasure for having gotten to meet so many of you in "real" life. I'll miss you all very much when I stop coming because Ed doesn't bring cake. #bikeDC is the best. It really is.
The route was there was pretty standard. Inaugural preparations have not yet closed all of the roads, but soon they will and it's a good thing that I'm a reclusive hermit who barely ever leaves his house because those closures will prove massively inconvenient. After coffee, which I had to leave slightly earlier than I wanted, I rode G Street to 24th, 24th to Penn, Penn to M and turned right on 29th. I thought I was on 28th. I was not on 28th. (There's a really bad Abbott and Costello Bit called "Who's on 29th?" and it's terrible, even with the appropriate context). I followed to the top of the hill, which was R Street and on R Street, I tried to wave a driver around me while I slowed at the intersection and this was hilariously ill-advised because he was trying to make a right turn and my slowing to wave him around, while well-intentioned, only succeeded to delaying him further. As they say, the bike commute to hell is paved with good intentions.
It was slow going up Wisconsin Avenue, but fast going down Massachusetts and I arrived at work by the time I wanted to be there and this kind of consistent arrival timing, in my experience, can best be achieved on bicycle rather than by taking public transportation or private car or pogo stick (you might pogo into quicksand). So, add predictable to cheap on the lists of reasons why it's good to bike to work. On the list of reasons why it's less good, add cold and wind, both of which were very much a factor today. But I'm only mentioning them now and not earlier because I sort of forgot how bad it was, so you can add "ephemeral" to the list of good reasons. I think ephemeral was one of the drugs that Lance used, as well.
