| Ghost caught on security tape at gas station |
 |
Parma ,Ohio 11-11-2007
People looking to fill up their gas tanks in Parma
Ohio got an eyeful, but no one's exactly sure what
they were looking at.
The blue ghostly presence was visible to the naked
eye and was captured by surveillance video.
The blue light sometimes hovered in one place but
also moved around

| Object Capabilities for Security |
 |
Google Tech Talks
November, 30 2007
ABSTRACT
Existing systems often do a poor job of meeting
the principle of least privilege. I will discuss
how object capability systems and language-based
methods can help address this shortcoming. In
language-based object capability systems, an
object reference is treated as a capability;
unforgeability of references ensures
unforgeability of capabilities; and all privileges
are expressed as capabilities in this way. This
makes it possible to decompose the system into
distrusting "privilege-separated"
components, providing each component with the
least privilege it needs to do its job; to reason
about the privileges and powers available to
various program elements, often in a local
(modular) way; and to avoid common pitfalls, such
as confused deputy and TOCTTOU vulnerabilities.
I will attempt to introduce the audience to some
work in this area that is perhaps not so widely
known, and I will describe some work in progress
to construct a subset of Java, called Joe-E, that
is intended to enable capability-style programming
using a programming syntax that is familiar to
Java programmers.

| TPMtv: McCain's Social Security Bamboozle |
 |
Your Daily Politics Video Blog: One of the most
entertaining things about the 2008 campaign has
been watching John McCain embrace all of President
Bush's policies and word game flimflams. And
there's no better example than Social Security
where McCain has not only adopted President Bush's
proposal to phase out Social Security and replace
it with private investment accounts he's even
adopted Bush's word game bamboozlement to try to
trick voters into thinking he doesn't support the
policy he actually does support. Those of us who
are about to talk straight, Salute You!

| John McCain's Rage is a National Security Concern |
 |
http://bravenewpac.org/rage
During last night's debate, John McCain said we
need "a cool hand at the tiller," but McCain has
proven to be a loose cannon. He has accosted his
Congressional colleagues on both sides of the
aisle on everything from the federal budget to
diplomatic relations. He is known for hurling
profanities rather than settling disagreements
calmly. His belligerence is legendary. Even
conservative Senator Thad Cochran of Mississippi
has said, "He is erratic. He is hotheaded. He
loses his temper and he worries me."
When someone earns the nickname "Senator Hothead,"
the public ought to call his character into
question. McCain's propensity to explode
undermines his abilities as a rational decision
maker, particularly on national security issues --
which could prove disastrous considering our
country is already involved in two wars.
McCain's temper is critical to his decision-making
abilities, and his character must be discussed.
As Drew Westen writes, "The political brain is an
emotional brain. It is not a dispassionate
calculating machine, objectively searching for the
right facts, figures and policies to make a
reasoned decision." That why it's so crucial
people know the real Senator Hothead.
