25 suspected anonymous members of the hacker movement have been arrested in a sweep across Europe and South America, Interpol said by the global police agency. The arrest were carried out by national law-enforcement officers working under the support of Interpol's Latin American Working Group of Experts on Information Technology Crime. The age of these 25 hackers are between 17 and 40. They are suspected of planning coordinated cyber-attacks against institutions such as Colombia's defense ministry and presidential Web sites. The arrest begun in mid-Feb, which have searched 40 locations and 15 cities. The investigation has used 250 pieces of information technology and mobile phones. 4 of the 25 hackers were suspected that relate to attacks on Spanish political party Web sites. Anonymous has no real structure, so it's still unclear what impact the arrest will have.

With modern technologies, crime increases by stealing from others and destroying important Web sites. Hackers are one of these negative examples. People should learn these techs in a positive way and improve them together.

Author: David Goldman

The Obama administration introduced a new sets of online bill of rights intended to protect the privacy of internet users when they surf the Web. The bill includes a set of guidelines for internet companies about how they should treat consumers' data and manage their customer interactions. The policy stresses transparency, security, and user control of their data. The administration chose to enforce the policy because recently there has been a rapid increase in online fraud and in customers' confusion about how and when they are being tracked. Also, corporations have been found violating customers' privacy. For example, mobile phone apps were found to be uploading entire address books to their servers without permission, handset makers were caught installing secret software that could possibly record keystrokes, and Google was caught violating Safari's privacy setting. Supporting the privacy bill of rights, the Digital Advertising Alliance also announced that it is working to enhance its "Do Not Track" technology for most major Web browsers. Although this bill of rights is voluntary, the administration believes that corporations will be compelled to participate in order to gain trust from their customers. For those that sign up, the Federal Trade Commission can enforce the provisions by taking punitive actions against violators.

I support the new sets of policies because I think online privacy is very important for internet users. However, the stated rules are vague and broad, and corporations can easily find loopholes to disregard them. The bill was introduced with good intent, but the rules need to be more specific and comprehensive in order for it to be effective.

CNN Reporter George Webster believes that all we need to do to get a more green earth is to give our selves little targets to help us focus. In a Airport in Amsterdam a maintenance guy put little painted flies as targets on the urinal to try and lessen missing the toilet bowl. The Airport reported that the clean ups in the bathrooms throughout the Airport had dropped by 80%. George, our reporter, claims all we need is a similar idea to get us into become a more green society. He says that we, as a society, could use subtle nudges in the right direction, like how street signs on the highway tell us which lane to be in or how the gleam of a candy rapper can catch our eye so that we will buy, that sort of thing.

I personally believe that our friend George is on to something, if we could so much as give subtle visual cue would make people have the idea to be greener in the back of their brain. Recently in our society we have been smothered with the thought of being greener, we look left and right and we see people trying to make us recycle, compost, and even use solar power and other methods of Electricity. This makes people look away from the problems at hand, but if we use very subtle cues we could end up planting seeds in peoples brais to act more Green, in a more effective way.

Aparently planet venus(closest planet to earth), its slowing down. Or at least that is what the "venus expres"(last satellite sent to venus) its reporting to the scientifics of the NASA. Usually a day on venus, or a hole rotation over its own axis. takes about 243.0185 Earth days. but what the "the venus expres" measured was about 15 minutes longer than that. This is something that researchers and scientists have to pay atention to. Because if the planet rotation its accelerating, this means that future mission are not going to land where they are suppose to.
The phenomena its probably provocated by the fierce weather of venus, wich its probably causing friction on the planets rotation.
Other theory suggests that its because of some interactions in between the earth and venus gravitational interactions.
But it doesn't end here, the final theorysays that venus has always rotated like that and that the old measurements were from a time when venus rotate faster the usual.
This theory would match up with the long time measurement of venus rotation over the years.



A new rotational speed was discovered on venus, this probably means that the planet its slowing down but there are other ideas about it and the mos probable its that this its usual speed and the planet its just going back to it.
This would mean for the scientists to recalculate the landing places for future missions on venus, by about 20 kilometers away from were they were suppose to land

Researchers from the University of South Australia investigated old studies about sleep recommendations and actual hours of sleep in teens. They examined 300 such studies, dating from 1897 to 2009. They found that over the years, both recommended and actual sleep times have declined by about .7 minutes per year, and a little over an hour since 1897. Additionally, kids have been getting about 40 minutes less of sleep than recommended throughout the past century.

Sleep recommendations are so variable because there is little way to determine how much sleep someone actually needs. 20% of teens say they feel drowsy during the day, and 60% of teens say they would like more sleep, so it is likely that kids do need more sleep. The amount, however, is difficult to determine. Possible explanations for the change in the amount of sleep kids get is new technologies: TV, computers, and the internet offer nighttime distractions.

Additionally, amounts of sleep vary between countries and cultures. For example, it is accepted that Japanese kids will sleep in class because they were up studying. Australian kids sleep almost an hour more than American kids, who sleep less than nearly any other demographic.

In summation: Don't trust sleep experts.

        In 2004 the United States Defense Department was given access to about three billion dollars to pay for expenses. Unfortunately, a recent audit of the Defense Department shows that they can only account for a third of it. Thats right the US government misplaced over two billion dollars. There are, specifically, thirty eight missing monthly reports. In a row. The missing reports are currently being blamed on a faulty administrative system set up shortly after the department was given access to the money. It is being claimed that the money was used as it was intended, to fund a wide variety of reconstruction projects.
        This is important to United States citizens because it shows that we cannot always rely on others to keep track of important issues. The American public must stand up and demand an improvement on the clarity and productiveness of the government. This also has international ramifications, as there is bound to be an response by the Iraqi government at the very least as to where the money is. An important lesson to be taken from this is that no matter what your intentions, a poor organization and faulty records will make you look less than responsible.

                   A new study confirms that children have consistently gotten less sleep than recommended guidelines for at least the past 100 years. Researchers from the University of South Australia did some historical research from about eery reference of sleep duration in children beginning from the end of the 19th century through 2009. They had found in a French paper from 1897 that age-specific recommendations for appropriate sleep and the amount of time kids actually spend in sleep both declined at similar rates. Experts were recommending that kids sleep 1 hour and 15 min more than was advised in the year 2009. Research has found that twenty percent of kids feel sleepy in school  and sixty percent said that they would want to get more sleep. Much sleep loss has been blamed on modern society and its technology such as ipods, televisions and computers.
                  This article is important because we are all not getting enough sleep, and not getting enough sleep may lead to medical problems and poor academic performance for kids of all ages.

Title: Overeating may be linked to memory loss

Length: 573 words

In a recent study it ha been found that men and women in their 70s and 80s have a higher risk to mild cognitive impairment (MCI), the memory loss and mental-function problems that sometimes precede Alzheimer's disease, if their diet consists of a certain number of calories. The research has shown that a person who consumes a diet of 2,143 calories per day has more then double the odds of having MCI, the someone who has a diet of 1,526 calories per day or less. The study was performed at a Mayo Clinic in Scottsdale, Arizona, and had more than 1,200 people participate in the study. Although the study is still recent and a direct cause-and-effect relationship between high-calorie diet and MCI has not been proven. The lead researcher and associate professor of neurology and psychiatry at the Mayo Clinic, Yonas Geda, says that results will need to be confirmed with more studies in the future. He believes any conclusions at this point are to remain speculation. On the other hand federal officials recommend that men over the age of 50 have a diet of between 2,000 and 2,800 calories and women of the same age between 1,600 and 2,200, both depending on how active the participants are. But the main thing they stress is that a healthy diet requires a balance of calories and an active life to maintain a healthy life. No specific calorie amount can do that.

Anonymous Attacks Oakland: Hacker Group Posts City Officials' Private Information Online

2/7/12

450 Words

The outcropping of new legislature on freedom of the internet have spurred large amounts of unrest within our society. Whether the 24 hour shut down of Wikipedia or a large censorship sign over the Google logo, this subject has hit home, not because its big economically, but because it will affect us so close and so drastically. Without these subtle things such as Wikipedia, our lives will change so much, we won't be saving up for lunch at Mcdonald's anymore, we'll be saving up for songs on iTunes that you can no longer download illegally. Maybe the internet will be ruled and patrolled by corporations and a tight governmental grip. But besides creating a scare for us, the recent legislature has allowed for a smaller group of hackers fighting for the people to emerge, they call themselves "Anonymous".

Anonymous was born from a small internet meme, or saying, that caught on to mean a large group of hackers that are starting to fight for internet and technological rights. Following the beginning of SOPA, Anonymous has shut down the CIA and FBI websites to show the government that power that the group holds. But Anonymous's most recent attack on our government was not shutting down police websites or attacking the government through the web, it was in the strangest form you could imagine. Anonymous hacked and posted the personal information of the top officials of Oakland, California. Why? To assist the Occupy Movement.

The Occupy Movement has been the spotlight for quite some time now, with movements growing in metropolitan and school areas, none were more publicly watched and followed than the Occupy Oakland Movement. Occupy Oakland had successfully shut down the port of Oakland on a peaceful march early November of last year. Recently they tried to take over a vacant building but were opposed by 100 or more police and ultimately pushed back. The last place the Occupy organizers were expecting to get aid was Anonymous.

Last Tuesday, Oakland officials and police woke to find the group had posted their personal information online, including their phone numbers, adresses and Salary rates. Only City Council member Rebecca Kaplan was spared, a note under her name reading, "Thank You for your support and being a true leader in our community." The postings were accompanied by a rather chilling and interesting video of an automated voice speaking to the citizens of Oakland. The video said: "Anonymous has been watching... before you commit such atrocities against innocent people, think twice. You should have expected us." (See the full video here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5rH173L6flU&feature=player_embedded#!)

Anonymous seems to have grown a heart and reached out to a real solid cause rather than probing the interwebs for holes and flaws.

Although an attack on the Oakland Officials may not seem like a huge blow, This shows that the members of Anonymous not only have the power and skill to reveal hidden information, but that they support the Occupy Movement. The members saw the salaries of the City council rise, and posted these findings to show the people the truth. So next time you imagine a guy sitting behind a computer, hacking away at firewalls, drinking a mountain dew and munching on a pizza, he may not be fighting you anymore. He may be fighting for you.

Title: Are cigarette companies right this time?

Author: Bob Greene

Length: 900 words

In the federal court, five tobacco manufacturers are arguing against the government regarding the illustrations printed on the packages that are intended to drive people away from buying cigarettes. From the Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act of 2009, the government is empowered to issue orders requiring warning illustrations to be printed on cigarette packages. The tobacco companies claim that the these orders violate their First Amendment Rights. They say that their freedom of speech, one of the most important rights to American citizens under the Constitution, is infringed upon. The government uses public health concerns as its most powerful point, while the tobacco companies argues that nothing outweighs the freedom of speech. Speaking on the distinction between text-only warnings and graphic warnings, the tobacco companies say while labels state facts, the required gruesome images are active advocates that are intended to keep people from buying the product.

This court decision will be critical because it might change the packaging of cigarettes all over the nation. Even though the harmful effects of cigarettes are well-known enough, the decision will more or less have an affect in the public's purchase of such products. Equally important is that it will set the precedent for future cases about whether a person or a company will need to publicize the effects of certain products even if it means going against the person's or the company's own interest.

I think that such illustrations should still be printed on cigarette packages to warn people of the effects of tobacco. Everyone has the freedom of speech, but when speech concerns public health, it comes with much more responsibility because it can influence the lives of other individuals. If the final ruling favors the tobacco companies, in the future they might create even more advertisements advocating the use of cigarettes, which can lead to detrimental effects to the public.

Many file-sharing websites have started to increase anti-piracy enforcement after the website Megaupload.com was shut down by the US Department of Justice. Last month in January, Megaupload was taken down by the Department of Justice for knowingly hosting illegal pirated material and its founder, Kim Dotcom, was arrested. Since the take down, other file hosting websites have removed a lot of illegal content from their sites. For example, the website videobb has removed many of its links to illegal movies and TV shows. Although it is hard for websites to remove all pirated material, websites like videobb are hoping that by trying to stop illegal content from being uploaded, it will protect them from a similar shutdown to the one that happened to Megaupload. Other websites are choosing to voluntarily shut down altogether. The founder of BT Junkie, another file-hosting site, shut down his website to avoid any potential legal complications. Still, some websites have done nothing at all since the Megaupload shutdown. RapidShare, a website based in Switzerland, claimed that they already had very good anti-piracy enforcement. However, Megaupload's shutdown still affects sites like RapidShare as many of MegaUpload's customers flock to other file-hosting sites, forcing these sites to remove even more content.

In conclusion, MegaUpload's shutdown has affected all of the file-hosting websites, whether websites choose to take action at all. Some sites have chosen to improve security while others have chosen to shut down. As the US continues to fight software piracy to protect intellectual property, many changes in how the internet functions are starting to appear. The war against online piracy has seen ups and downs the past few months, from the SOPA and PIPA acts to the recent take-down of Megaupload.com. The vast effects of these events are very visible, from SOPA protests by Google and Wikipedia, to the changes in the file-hosting websites. Megaupload's takedown is most likely only a sign of things to come as the fight between corporate intellectual rights and internet rights continues.

Google is about to release it's new home entertainment device. Nicknamed "Project Tungsten," Google's new media streaming box can play digital music files that Google & Android users have downloaded from the online markets. The device was first announced in Google's I/O developers conference in San Francisco last May. It was purposed to response to SONY's numerous electronic accessories released in the end seasons of last year, and also to against Apple's remaining strong impact to the electronic device market. other resources also reveal that Motorola, the famous hardware company that Google is purchasing, has also involved in the building of Google's new entertainment device. Google spends a huge amount of investment on the improvement of Android, and many recent action have shown that Google has a great interest in building of "the product universe," which Apple have succeed. Google have pulled out a effective card in the first step, but other heads of the entertainment market also show very noticeable reactions. Rumors had said that Apple is going to announced iPad 3 this May, and SONY's PS Vita is already on sale in some regions, not to mention that Microsoft‘s brand new Windows 8 system is going to be on the market very soon, It seems clear that all the main social technology companies has pointed home & portable entertainment devices as the competing majors. With out a doubt, 2012 is going to a year of all various shocking, interesting, and fun technology devices that will the daily entertainments of many families.

Taxes on medical marijuana have been steadily increasing in many towns across the United States due to the economic downturn resulting in a need for quick cash. Oakland, CA is no exception where taxes have been raised several times in the past few years. Last year alone Oakland collect $1.4 million. In 2010 Oakland shut off one third of its’ streetlights and saved $1.2 million. The city tripled the tax rate to 5% in 2010. In addition, Oakland doubled its tax collections by doubling the number of medical marijuana dispensaries. Three percent of all business taxes collected in 2011 was due to medical marijuana dispensaries. In Oakland the medical marijuana industry is booming. Nearby Oaksterdam University now offers classes to help people who are entering this profitable field. The University offers classes in federal law, civics, legal business, structures and various “methods of investigation”. The biggest dispensary is the Harborside Health Center which has 104,000 customers and employs 120 people. Ninety percent of the employees are from Oakland who now have well-paying jobs and good benefits.

The Harvard Cross Country team has been compiling data for a number of years. They have meticulously kept records of how far each member has run every day and for how long. The Harvard Cross Country team has also kept track of their injuries, no matter how trifling or small they may be. Sixty-nine percent of the cross country runners at Harvard University run with a heel-strike as opposed to a forefoot-strike. Nowadays we are conditioned to run heel first because of our cushioned running shoes, but our prehistoric ancestors were believed to have struck the ground first with the balls of their feet. This is because running with a heel-strike is painful to do while barefoot. For this reason, many modern runners are convinced that running with a forefoot-strike is more "natural" for the human physique and thus less prone to injury. The data collected by Harvard University does not necessarily corroborate these claims, but at the same time it does not refute them either. According to their results, forefoot-strikers are also prone to injury just like heel-strikers. But unfortunately, heel-strikers are up to three times more likely to have a running-related injury than forefoot-strikers. It is not fair to call this collection of data a study due to many varying factors amongst the runners and throughout the years; such as: terrain, types of running shoes, and uncontrollable factors such as height and weight and previous running experience.

Although the evidence shows that forefoot-strikers are less likely to be injured, there has yet to be a scientific study on the matter. Until a controlled experiment on a larger scale is administered, no conclusions may be drawn. We can make hypotheses based upon this data, but hypotheses are only educated guesses. Overall, the results are inconclusive, but the data points us in a direction where forefoot-striking runners dominate the scene.

"Study Explores Electrical Stimulation as an Aid to Memory " by Benedict Carey

The New York Times, February 8, 2012

Scientists find a way to improve human's memory by using electrical stimulation to a key area in brain as it learns its way around a new environment. After applying it to epilepsy patients who being prepared for surgery, it allowed people to navigate a new city without a GPS after a virtual driving game that tests partial memory. Experts said the new study, appearing Thursday in The New England Journal of Medicine, can not be concluded yet because of the small amount of patients tested. However, it comes at a growing excitement about study of memory and its disorders; only last week, researchers reported Alzheimer's disease cause a large damage through brain started in the same area. As a neuroscientist at the University of Pennsylvania, Micheal J. Kahana showed his strong support in this kind of study. During the experiment, patients worked to master a taxi-driver game, in which the goal is quickly drop off passengers at 6 various locations in an unfamiliar city, and 3 of the trips an electrode ran in a low current which is enough to stimulate neurons in the area but not enough to interfere with function or trip off the patients. The results show the patients did far better in returning to the "stimulate" destinations than the other tree, and the improvement ranged from 40% to 90%.

This article talked about the way to improve human’s memory. In the passed, there were similar studies before with rodents and human, as a side-effect of stimulation for another purpose with stimulating a brain region called hippocampus. In the new study, researchers focused on a neighboring area called the entorhinal cortex. Scientists use electrical stimulation to the key area in brain and tested six epilepsy patients with a taxi-diver game. The result was surprised that the improvement was large.

"Cancer drug shows promise in mouse Alzheimer’s study" by David Brown
The Washington Post, February 9, 2012
900 words/ 2 pages

Neuroscientists at Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine in Cleveland, Ohio conducted a study on mice and found out that a known cancer drug can reverse Alzheimer's disease in mice. The drug, called bexarotene, is an already known and used drug in cancer patients, but has not had impressive results against cancer in humans. In the study, whose findings were released on Thursday, February 9, Gary E. Landreth and his team of neuroscientists gave mice in the early stages of Alzheimer's disease low doses of bexarotene. After the treatment, the mice were able to perform better in tests of memory and social behavior, showing that the drug helps restore proper mental function. The team concluded that bexarotene stimulated the removal of a substance called beta-amyloid, which is the chief cause of Alzheimer's disease. Whether bexarotene will have similar effects in humans with Alzheimer's as in mice is still not known. However, the team is optimistic that finding out shouldn't be too difficult, as the drug is already known and has been approved for human use, instead of an entirely new chemical compound. Bexarotene's effects on normal human brains will be tested in the coming months, and only after that will its effects on people with early Alzheimer's be tested for the first time. The team concluded that much hinges on whether the drug works in the same way in humans as in mice; in the words of head neuroscientist Gary E. Landreth, "It has to work in humans like it works in mice or we can pick up and go home." Much is at stake, for this obscure cancer drug might be the one that rids the world of Alzheimer's disease.

This article reveals a drug that has the potential to cure Alzheimer's disease. Right now, over 5 million people in the United States suffer from Alzheimer's, and over 70 million people in the world. This disease has drastic effects, causing increased dementia and affecting brain function, memory, judgment, and behavior, ultimately resulting in premature death. There is no cure or reliable treatment to this disease. Although it has only been tested on mice thus far, the known drug bexarotene has shown that it can reverse the effects of early Alzheimer's; if it can prove to have the same effects on humans, we are well on the path to finding a reliable cure for the most common form of dementia in the world.

Some studies shows that when overweight women drop a modest amount of weight, they can curb the risk of incontinence. Researchers found that overweight diabetic women who took up diet and exercise lost an average of 17 pounds, and it brought a lower risk of developing incontinence. For every two pounds a woman lost, the developing incontinence dropped by three percent. Weight loss did not help women who already had urine leakage problems.
Weight loss is more effective at preventing, rather than treating urine leakage. The reason might be the exercise or the blood sugar reduction. Urinary incontinence is very common among women, because vaginal childbirth is a major factor. In the US, about 53% of women older than 20 said they'd had problems with urine leakage.
Overall, women in the lifestyle group had a lower rate of urinary incontinence. People who are overweight can cut the risk of urine leakage if they lose some weight.

A Blog as Therapy for Teenagers Pamela Paul

The socio-emotional difficulties that adolescents go through, seem to be soothed by the therapeutic value of diary-keeping for teenage girls and boys. But according to a new study, when teenagers detail their woes onto a blog, the therapeutic value is even greater.

Is that why Facebook is so popular among adolescents? Was that even the cause of Zuckerberg's greatest innovation idea?

A study, published in the journal Psychological Services and conducted by Meyran Boniel-Nissim and Azy Barak, found the engagement with an online community allowed by the blog format made it more effective in relieving the writer's social distress than a private diary would be.

How many of us can relate to it? The constant social red's posts of people's hourly, or even more often than that, about our "status", better interpreted as "emotional status".

According to the study conducted by Barak and Boiel-Nissim, the greatest improvement in mood occurred among those bloggers who wrote about their problems and allowed commenters to respond.

Will the so innovative, technological, and modern social reds replace psychologists?
