It looks like Miley Cyrus had to bury the supposedly nonexistent hatchet with her ex Nick ...Jonas and put on a big toothy smile for the cameras. In case you forgot, (because we sure as hell didn't) Miley has indulged in some Mean Girls-like video hijinks with her ex-boyfriend's current (supposed) girlfriend Selena Gomez. Also representing for Team Selena was Camp Rock star Demi Lovato and the rest of the Jonas Brothers contingent. |

 High testosterone appears to keep men aliveCategory: Other - Posted by: KingM on Dec 28th, 2007Higher naturally occurring levels of the male hormone testosterone appear to protect men from fatal heart attacks or strokes and death from all manner of causes, researchers in Britain said on Monday. But the researchers cautioned men not to begin te...stosterone supplementation based on the results of this 10-year study, saying the benefits and risks are unclear. The role of testosterone in men's health is controversial, with the relationship between men's natural testosterone levels and overall health not well understood, according to the researchers. But this study led by Dr. Kay-Tee Khaw, a professor of clinical gerontology at the University of Cambridge School of Clinical Medicine in Britain, found strong benefits in men with higher natural levels of the hormone. Men in the upper 25 percent of natural testosterone levels had a 41 percent lower risk of dying from heart attack, stroke and other cardiovascular conditions, cancer and all other causes, compared to men with the lowest levels, the researchers found. |

 Top US government research labs infiltrated by hackersCategory: Other - Posted by: rapvirus on Dec 10th, 2007Hackers successfully infiltrated Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL), one of the nation's leading military research facilities. The attackers gained access by sending e-mails infected with trojan horses to ORNL employees. The lab claims that no clas...sified information was retrieved, but admits that the perpetrators managed to acquire a database containing personal information about ORNL visitors and employees, including Social Security numbers. "A hacker illegally gained access to ORNL computers by sending staff e-mails that appeared to be official legitimate communications. When the employees opened the attachment or accessed an embedded link, the hacker planted a program on the employees' computers that enabled the hacker to copy and retrieve information," ORNL revealed in a statement. "No classified information was lost; However, visitor personal information may have been stolen. If you visited ORNL between the years 1990 and 2004, your name and other personal information, such as your Social Security number or date of birth, may have been part of the stolen information." ORNL believes that the intrusion was part of a larger coordinated attack on numerous research facilities in the United States. Representatives of Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) have acknowledged that an attack on their network took place last month, but ORNL is the only organization so far that has publicly confirmed an actual breach. A memo sent to LANL employees that was subsequently leaked to the public states that "malicious and determined hackers have accessed the Lab's unclassified Yellow Network and removed a significant amount of unclassified material." LANL and ORNL were originally constructed during during World War II for highly sensitive nuclear weapons research. Today, the two facilities are used for research in numerous areas including national security, nanotechnology, advanced materials, and energy. The identity of the hackers is not known, but some speculate that it was orchestrated by a foreign government. Various countries have recently detected widespread cyber attacks from from computers inside of China. Although certain foreign governments are suspects, the attack could have been planned and carried out by almost anybody. It doesn't really take much to infiltrate highly secure facilities in the United States. Consider hacker Gary McKinnon, the self-described "bumbling computer nerd," who infiltrated almost 100 servers owned by the Defense Department, Navy, Army, Air Force, and other government agencies back in 2002 while looking for evidence of a UFO cover-up. McKinnon executed what the government describes as the biggest military computer hack on record and he did it with little more than a brute-force Perl script. These recent attacks reflect the vulnerability of technological infrastructure in the United States and demonstrate the clear need for better security standards. Trojan horses should not be able to worm their way into military research facilities. |
