Pearl Harbor Anniversary

Pearl Harbor Anniversary 12/08/2003 03:26 AM

Yesterday was the 62nd anniversary of Pearl Harbor. Maryam and I visited the site last year. Being over a sunken ship where 1177 people died is very sobering. The ship is still leaking oil to the surface. The park service is now exploring the Arizona with a remote controlled vehicle.

[This is part of a series of posts on the home buying process I'm going thru. To see the full set, visit the house category archives.] In the comments for my earlier post on the matter, someone asked if I had $100,000 in the bank for a down payment. No, not quite. Much of it is invested. To come up with a down payment, I'll need to sell off a fair amount of stock and/or cash in some stock options....

Economy: A Financial Pearl Harbor???

Economy: A Financial Pearl Harbor??? 01/28/2004 06:41 PM
From The Connection's archives:  Robert Rubin on his new book (In an Uncertain World) and the economic well-being of the US.  Worth the time spent to listen to it.  While there is a risk of a financial melt-down (ie. due to a lack of job growth, historically high short term interest rates, etc.), the real problem is uncertainty.  Risk can be projected and compensated for (if you do get burned by risk, it's your fault).  Uncertainty can't be quantified or analyzed.  It can only guarded against by not placing yourself in a position where uncertainty can't topple you easily.  We are in a position where uncertainty can put us in a crunch in very short order.

For example, uncertainty is an event like 9/11 and the subsequent invasion of Iraq.This sequence of events were unanticipatable, in any reasonable way, but they have had a major impact on our financial status.Some other uncertainties that we have on our plate include a series of major terrorist attacks on US soil that negatively impact regional economies and confidence, a failure/quagmire in Iraq that drags on for years at an escalating cost and a global loss of confidence, and full war with North Korea.  Any of these events could cause the budget deficit to surge to unsustainable levels over an extended period, cause the US to lose its safe harbor status, and turn the rest of the world against us (not willing to help us when we are in crisis). 

This is exactly how we could convert (through our lack of preparedness) the risk of long-term financial crisis into a short term crisis.  Given this, why isn't fiscal responsibility a National Security issue???  If our economy collapses due to external uncertainties becoming real events, we would be hard pressed to defend ourselves.  We wouldn't be able to afford it. This is the national security issue of our time.

ISP safe harbor advances: Verizon wins
RIAA appeal

ISP safe harbor advances: Verizon wins
RIAA appeal 12/20/2003 01:36 AM

In a case with implications for internet service providers (ISPs), such as colleges, Verizon won an appeal against the Recording Industry Association of America ( RIAA ). The United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia ruled that Verizon was not required to yield customer information to an intellectual property holder about an alleged copyright infringement, when the infringement used peer-to-peer ( p2p ) computing:

"We conclude that a subpoena may only be issued to an ISP engaged in storing on its servers material that is infringing or is the subject of infringing activity," the Appeals court ruled, further stating ISPs acting as a "mere conduit for the transmission of information" are not subject to the DMCA subpoenas.

The court did not take issue with the law under which the RIAA filed its claims, the Digital Millenium Copyright Act ( DMCA , 1998). The court was very critical of the RIAA position, however, referring to one argument as "border[ing] on silly."

This case began when the RIAA requested information from Verizon about a customer, alleged to have copied numerous music files illegitimately.

First, the Project Atmosphere Canada offers a module to educate primary and secondary students about cloud formation and characteristics (1). The website outlines key points and offers a more in-depth discussion of water vapor, cloud formation, convection, air motion, severe weather, and more. The second website, by Scholastic, supplies many pdf documents of activities and lesson plans for all types of weather phenomena including clouds (2). Students can learn about condensation, discover what makes up a cloud, and find a key identifying the cloud types. Next, USA Today offers an online tutorial of the differing characteristics of clouds (3). Users can learn about Mammatus clouds, contrails, cloud seeding, and other cloud-related topics. At the fourth website, visitors can view meteorologist Dan Satterfield's amazing cloud photographs (4). Educators may find useful materials to supplement their lectures. Next, NASA's Climate and Radiation Branch furnishes "information on the fantastic variety of cloud forms and structures, and their implications for climate" (5). While the website is still being constructed, users can find useful information about the Bounded Cascades Fractal Cloud model, animations, and definitions of inhomogeneous cloud terminology. The sixth website, created by the National Center for Atmospheric Research and the University Corporation for Atmospheric Research, addresses how clouds impact our lives, how they cause chaos, and how they form (6). The enlightening descriptions are packed with colorful images and short quizzes. Next, The Australian Government's Bureau of Meteorology describes the useful of clouds as an indicator of weather conditions (7). After learning how moist air can form clouds, individuals can view images of the ten most common cloud types. Lastly, Enchanted Learning offers a table of the cloud types with their abbreviation, appearance, composition, and altitude along with explanations of cloud formation and the atmosphere (8). Educators can find simple activities dealing with cloud types and the water cycle.
