Fri, 18 Apr 2008 00:11:27 PDT
Tiny Tremors Can Track Extreme Storms In A Warming Planet Data from faint earth tremors caused by wind-driven ocean waves - often dismissed as 'background noise' at seismographic stations - suggest extreme ocean storms have become more frequent over the past three decades, according to a study.

Fri, 18 Apr 2008 00:41:17 PDT
SUSA Does a Poll Drop Red, Blue and Swing State Head-to-Head Polls By Adam C Polls are below the fold. Overall, they show a mixed bag as to overall competitiveness. McCain does surprisingly well in NY and MA against Obama but loses ground in the coastal West and upper Midwest (WI, MN, IA) if Obama is the nominee. KY, OH, NM are places where Clinton is stronger than Obama as an opponent. Most of the movement over the last month is within the margin of error. That lends credence to these tren

The Craft of System Security

Fri, 18 Apr 2008 01:17:16 PDT
"I believe The Craft of System Security is one of the best software security books on the market today. It has not only breadth, but depth, covering topics ranging from cryptography, networking, and operating systems--to the Web, computer-human interaction, and how to improve the security of software systems by improving hardware. Bottom line, this book should be required reading for all who plan to call themselves security practitioners, and an invaluable part of every university's computer sc

Obama Tackles High Prescription Drug Co-Payments

Thu, 17 Apr 2008 23:05:42 PDT
WASHINGTON, D.C. - U.S. Senator Barack Obama on Wednesday called on Linda Springer, the Director of the Office of Personnel Management (OPM), to respond to reports that certain health care plans are charging unnecessarily high copayments for prescription drugs.

THE FINTAG NEWSLETTER @ 18 April 2008

Thu, 17 Apr 2008 23:26:45 PDT
FINTAG COMMENT I am obviously psychic. FiNTAG has correctly predicted many things in the last 2 years. The crash for starters. Some were inspired from email tip off's but mostly long lunch gossip and bloody good guesses. On 17th January 2008 we predicted RBS would need to raise GBP12bn through a rights issue. And yesterday they have said they will need to raise GBP12bn. Hat tip to the man in France and a couple of pints of guinness. Editor: Hold your horses: I just checked and you said USD no

There is no way around the fact that they do not have the field background that professionals take for granted. If I want to write a paper on late 19th century trends leading to Russian Symbolism, I can jump straight to the articles because I already have the background. My students do not. And undergraduates in gene

Macrohistory - A World Report

Thu, 17 Apr 2008 23:33:47 PDT
Historians begin with inquiry, and inquiry requires doubt. And like a good scientist a good historian maintains a degree of doubt and modesty, leaving himself open to discoveries and newly presented facts. This is what I try to do with my history narratives. I describe humanity from its beginning to the 21st century - a gigantic subject that requires help from people who have done good works. I've drawn from those who have devoted their professional lives to a deeper and more narrow focus of

There are several interesting climate related studies in this week's Science magazine.
