(November 11, 2009) Paul Borrill of REPLICUS Software Corporation discusses results from physics and other disciplines that investigate if and where hazards to the integrity of our information may exist due to current conceptions of time in computer science. Borrill focuses upon distributed systems, where scale, transmission rates and spatial distribution would most readily manifest anomalous behavior arising from such flaws.

The government is trying to scare the people more and more into giving up their privacy on the internet and in their information systems. They telling the people that these "Big Bad HACKERS" are coming and we need to make you SAFE! The thing is, their security is often very basic and a joke. They know it, and hackers know it. All they would have to do is make some simple changes without a huge "TASK FORCE" and they'd be fine. In the coming months you'll see this task force get more and more powers, as your constitutional rights become less and less. Take it from a network auditor (professional hacker) this thing is complete propaganda. continuitycentral.com www.infosecurity-us.com
Google Tech Talk January 21, 2010 ABSTRACT Presented by John mccann. We tend to think of digital imaging and the tools of Photoshop(TM) as a new phenomenon in imaging. We are also familiar with multiple-exposure HDR techniques intended to capture a wider range of scene information, than conventional film photography. We know about tone-scale adjustments to make better pictures. We tend to think of everyday, consumer, silver-halide photography as a fixed window of scene capture with a limited, standard range of response. This description of photography is certainly true, between 1950 and 2000, for instant films and negatives processed at the drugstore. These systems had fixed dynamic range and fixed tone-scale response to light. All pixels in the film have the same response to light, so the same light exposure from different pixels was rendered as the same film density. Ansel Adams, along with Fred Archer, formulated the Zone System, starting in 1940. It was earlier than the trillions of consumer photos in the second half of the 20th century, yet it was much more sophisticated than today's digital techniques. This talk will describe the chemical mechanisms of the zone system in the parlance of digital image processing. It will describe the Zone System's chemical techniques for image synthesis. It also discusses dodging and burning techniques to fit the HDR scene into the LDR print. These techniques introduced spatial changes in the print causing dynamic range compression ...
www.nextgov.com As personnel representing hundreds of government and nongovernment agencies from around the world rush to the aid of earthquake-devastated Haiti, the Defense Information Systems Agency has launched a Web portal with multiple social networking tools to aid in coordinating their efforts. On Monday, Jean Demay, disa's technical manager for the agency's Transnational Information Sharing Cooperation project, happened to be at the headquarters of the US Southern Command in Miami preparing for a test of the system in a scenario that involved providing relief to Haiti in the wake of a hurricane. After the earthquake hit on Tuesday, Demay said SOUTHCOM decided to go live with the system. On Wednesday, DISA opened up its All Partners Access Network, supported by the Transnational Information Sharing Cooperation project, to any organization supporting Haiti relief efforts. The information sharing project, developed with backing from both SOUTHCOM and the Defense Department's European Command, has been in development for three years. It is designed to facilitate multilateral collaboration between federal and nongovernmental agencies. Demay said that since DISA set up a Haiti Humanitarian Assistance and Disaster Relief Community of Interest on APAN on Wednesday, almost 500 organizations and individuals have joined, including a range of Defense units and various nongovernmental organizations and relief groups. APAN provides a series of collaboration tools, including ...

Google Tech Talk October 23, 2009 ABSTRACT Presented by Daniel Gruhl. Currently, data analytics technology is in high demand as people try to extract as much value as possible from their most valuable resource - the information around them, whether in their organizations or freely and publicly available. Unfortunately, though many data analytics efforts are focused a particularly interesting (and often difficult) question, whose answer hopefully lies in the data, these projects tend to spend most of their cycles acquiring and ingesting data. Thus, the focus of these efforts tend to tilt away from data analysis and towards data ingestion. MONGOOSE is 1) A suite of technologies that one can plug domain knowledge cartridges into and that outputs data suitable for OLAP or BI consumption. One plugs in small amounts of domain knowledge that involves pulling in unstructured, semi-structured and structured data, and MONGOOSE converts it all into structured form. 2) A Platform for Worst-Case Scenario Workflow Management. MONGOOSE is built on the assumption that failure happens and it must be handled quickly and seamlessly, such that it does not stop or hinder information ingest. 3) A Platform for Community-Based Information Extraction around specific phenomenon that can be fed into statistical analysis tools. Daniel Gruhl (dgruhl@almaden.ibm.com) is a research staff member in the Computer Science Department of IBM Almaden Research Center, San Jose, CA. Dan is currently in the ...

Google Tech Talk October 7, 2009 ABSTRACT Presented by Dror Baron, Visiting Scientist, Technion - Israel Institute of Technology. Traditional signal acquisition techniques sample band-limited analog signals above the Nyquist rate, which is related to the highest analog frequency in the signal. Compressed sensing (CS) is based on the revelation that optimization routines can reconstruct a sparse signal from a small number of linear projections of the signal. Therefore, CS-based techniques can ...

2 of 5 videos Interactive version here: www.boxwrench.net Explanation of a NOS brand Dry fogger nitrous system. What is Nitrous? Simply put, Nitrous (N2O) creates large amounts of horsepower by creating more oxygen in the engines cylinder chamber and cooling the air from the intake. Both of which makes the engine more efficient and thus creates more horsepower for short bursts of speed. As N2O is injected, the Nitrous system will also inject more fuel to burn with the extra O2.

Google Tech Talks December 16, 2008 ABSTRACT TITLE: Google's Spatial Tools in the Marine Environment - Decision Support Presented by: Kurt Schwehr ABSTRACT: Google Maps and Google Earth have put much of the functionality of Geographic Information Systems in the hands of the end users. Maritime users are just beginning to understand the power of map mashups that bring together diverse datasets to help mariners and those who manage the waterways to better understand the uses, risks, and impacts of vessel traffic on our nation's waterways. I will present a number of data types ranging from raster images of ocean flow modeling, to vessel traffic over time captured by the marine Automatic Identification System, to real time right whale notices for vessels approaching Boston Harbor.

"Honest Signals: How They Shape Our World" How can you know when someone is bluffing? Paying attention? Genuinely interested? The answer, writes Sandy Pentland in Honest Signals, is that subtle patterns in how we interact with other people reveal our attitudes toward them. These unconscious social signals are not just a back channel or a complement to our conscious language; they form a separate communication network. Biologically based "honest signaling," evolved from ancient primate signaling mechanisms, offers an unmatched window into our intentions, goals, and values. If we understand this ancient channel of communication, Pentland claims, we can accurately predict the outcomes of situations ranging from job interviews to first dates. Professor Alex ("Sandy") Pentland, is a leading figure at the MIT Media Lab and is a pioneer in the fields of organizational engineering, mobile information systems, and computational social science. He co-directs the Digital Life Consortium, a group of more than twenty multinational corporations exploring new ways to innovate, and oversees the Next Billion Network, established to support aspiring entrepreneurs in emerging markets. In 1997 Newsweek magazine named him one of the 100 Americans likely to shape this century. This event took place on November 19, 2008

supplies are tight. You're starting to see riots around food in places like Haiti and other poor countries around the world. And what is also true is that as countries like China and India become wealthier, they start changing their food habits; they start eating more meat, more animals. And what happens then is because it takes more grain to produce a pound of beef than if they were just eating the grain, what ends up happening is that it puts huge pressure on food supplies.
