Ray Abeyta. "At first glance, many of Abeyta's works appear to be Spanish colonial paintings dating from the sixteenth through nineteenth centuries. However, the artist incorporates present-day imagery with Spanish colonial and indigenous elements." A short bio and history here. Here's one of my favorites.

Killer mutant staph infection on the
rise 04/12/2004 12:43 PM
Scary Business Week article about an anti-biotic resistant strain of staph.

For the past 30 years, hospitals have been battling a mutant form called methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA) that is resistant to penicillin-related antibiotics and is especially lethal. Now this drug-defying strain is showing up in the general population. It can be deadly if it enters the blood stream, heart, or lungs, killing anywhere from 25% to 43% of its victims. For years, the best treatment for MRSA was the powerful antibiotic vancomycin. But even this weapon has failed against new strains of staph that have emerged. Some infectious-disease experts predict that by 2010, 40% of staph infections will be vancomycin-resistant.

Santy Worm Varients Spreading

Santy Worm Varients Spreading 12/28/2004 07:14 PM
As we reported last week, Google had been used by the "Santy.A" worm to infect websites using vulnerable versions of phpBB. Google has since disallowed such search attempts by the worm, by simply not listing vulnerable sites in their search results.

Variants are now attempting to exploit search engines offered by Yahoo and AOL, targeting sites running versions of phpBB prior to version 2.0.11. Some variants of the worm damage sites using poorly coded php instances of include() and require(). AOL claims that they are now unaffected, but Yahoo has yet to comment on their security status.

Santy deletes content from effected php-based sites, and replaces it with information found within the worm itself. Luckily this worm is not communicable to computers who visit effected sites. Sites using older versions of phpBB should update immediately, and some sites utilizing php may have to be rewritten all together.
