Richard Lugar and Sam Nunn rewarded for their participation in the program that helped the former Soviet states to get rid of weapons

United States

Senator Richard Lugar and former Senator Sam Nunn were honored Wednesday for his role in helping the former Soviet states to secure and dismantle the huge reserves of nuclear, chemical and biological.

The couple became the first to receive a new award, which is awarded every two years to individuals or groups whose work prevents the proliferation of nuclear weapons and reduce the risk of their use.

The prize was awarded by the Carnegie Corporation of New York philanthropic foundation and the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace reflection during a ceremony at the Peace Palace in The Hague. Now take the names of Americans -. The price Nunn-Lugar promote nuclear safety

Lugar is a Republican from Indiana, who lost his re-election in May, after a 36-year career in the Senate. Nunn is a Democrat who represented Georgia for 24 years until 1997.

In a statement, the Carnegie Corporation stated that the program helped establish the couple "had contributed to the decommissioning of over 7500 nuclear warheads, chemical, neutralized protected fissile converted facilities weapons for peaceful purposes, mitigate biological threats, and directs the work of scientists and engineers weapons, among other efforts. "

Location called the program "a triumph over in the hundreds of thousands of missiles, warheads, tons of chemical weapons, and dozens of biological agents now locked up or destroyed. Was founded in the United States has found constructive ways to engage former adversaries and new partners, united by a common vision and the desire to detect and defeat the new threats. "

Aa encoding

Scientists say that the book could soon be cheaper to store information in DNA during installation digital camera

first time scientists have used DNA to encode the contents of a book. A 53 000 words and include 11 images and a computer program, which is the largest amount of data stored, even using the genetic material artificially.

The researchers say that the cost of DNA encoding falls so rapidly that within five to 10 years might be cheaper to store information using this method than conventional digital devices.

deoxyribonucleic acid or DNA - the chemical that stores genetic instructions in almost all known organisms - has an impressive capacity data. Gram can store up to 455bn gigabytes:. The content of over 100 billion DVDs, which makes the ultimate compact storage media

A strong team of three led by Professor George Church, Harvard Medical School has shown that the technology to store data in DNA, while slow, it is more convenient. They report in the journal Science that 5.27 megabits of data collection that store more than 600 times larger than the largest data set previously encoded this way.

write data into the DNA took several days. "This is something that today for file storage," said co-author Dr. Sriram Kosuri Wyss Institute at Harvard University, "but getting better all the time."

DNA has many advantages traditional digital storage media. You can easily copy and is often still legible after thousands of years in ideal conditions. Unlike evolving electronic formats such as tapes and DVDs, the fundamental skills needed to read and write information in DNA are as old as life on Earth.

The researchers, who have filed a provisional patent covering the concept, used off the shelf components to demonstrate his technique.

To maximize the reliability of his method, and reduce costs, avoid the need for very long sequences of code - which is much more expensive to create a large number of short pieces of DNA . The data is divided into fragments that could be written very reliable, and was accompanied by a list of Address Book where to find each section of code.

The team has developed a system in which a inkjet printer includes short DNA fragments artificially synthesized on a glass slide. Each DNA fragment also contains a numeric code indicating the address of the location in the original file.

fragments on the chip can then be "read" using standard techniques of the type used to decipher the ancient DNA sequence in the archaeological material. Then, a computer can reassemble the original file in the correct order using the address codes.

The book - a draft HTML of a volume co-written by the team leader -. It was written for DNA with embedded images to demonstrate the versatility of storage media

DNA dense storage system, as it is in three dimensions. Other storage media technologies, including drivers, such as the position of the individual atoms on a surface substantially reduced to two dimensions.

ridiculous government policies and adaptation (ridiculously slow) that simply can not keep pace with the time, which in turn interfere with new, innovative and disruptive. A society that seems to work on these things all the time is Uber, which takes local state and municipal regulations across the country, as it tries to offer its innovative transport (and very useful) in many metropolitan areas. You may remember the big fight in DC some regulations that have hampered Uber forcing it to charge high prices. In Boston, things are even stranger. The company was actually told to cease and desist from offering their service. This happened also because of various stupid regulations on taxi and colors, but Massachusetts seems to do everything in a particularly bloody and is not an exception.

Uber The reason can no longer serve the Boston area:

Because they use the latest technology called crazy "GPS" to measure distances cars traveled the purpose of billing users

seems Standards Division of Massachusetts, and laws relating to "Weights and Measures" is so outdated that it has not been updated to recognize the GPS as sufficient "weights and measures" the system remotely. As if to prove how incredibly out of touch these people are in the official letter ordering Uber stop the service, they constantly refer to the iPhone as a "purported". They also mention global positioning

. latter are responsible for the death of innovation. Incredible.
Basically, the state had someone sign up for Uber, a ride in the car as a "thorn" (one of the people in charge of your car - and I'm not kidding - the "Sealer of Weights and Measures"), then the driver name after seeing it (* sigh *) used a GPS in your phone to measure the distance !. Uber When told that the GPS has been around for decades and widely used, Standards Division of Massachusetts said it could be ... but since the GPS is not for commercial purposes, I can not not accept. really.

Experts call

initiative to educate the public about the ease with which tweets may end in imprisonment

The arrest of a teenager by police investigating abuse Olympic diving star Tom Daley on Twitter has prompted calls for a new initiative to raise awareness about the ease with which one can tweet end in a prison sentence.

Atalie Matthews, a partner at Bindmans, a firm specializing in the law of human rights, said that the mobile phone companies must provide advice to schools and shops, and have children and adults aware of the serious consequences that can result from sending abusive messages, including prison sentences and heavy fines.

"I think the mobile phone companies to give more advice when people buy phones because let's face it, most children live online these days. They produce incredible amounts of money and they must take the initiative and help educate everyone, "he said.

Matthews added that the responsibility should be on Vodafone, O2 and others put up posters in shops and brochures on packet telephony what is legal and what is illegal to say in a tweet .

"Unfortunately, there is a growth industry. Twitter just seems to bring out the worst in people, but people need to know, violence is not an act sanctionless . Goto be followed by the police and continue, "he said.

during the last six months, there were half a dozen cases involving police investigating Twitter posts, one of which led to a student being imprisoned after posting offensive and step after the collapse racist footballer Fabrice Muamba. Liam Stacey served half of his sentence of 56 days and told not to return to the campus of the University of Swansea.

Joshua Cryer, another student, also was convicted after the publication of a series of racist tweets aimed at footballer Stan Collymore. The judge ruled that fall into the category of "patently offensive" and sentenced to a community order for two years.

has been convicted of an offense under section 127 of the Communications Act of 2003, which is now considered a catch-all for all the comments on the Internet.

prohibited messages or other materials submitted by the "public electronic communications network" that is "patently offensive or indecent, obscene or menacing."

caught was this act that Paul Chambers, about the famous "Twitter joke trial", which was authorized last week to send a message of "threatening character" when he joked that he was going to blow up an airport.

"Twitter users are subject to the general law of the land, and no exemption from social media," he said.

crimes may be committed under the Communications Act of 1988 malicious, which was originally designed to fight against poisons "pen" letters and Public Order Act 1986, which covers crimes committed by a mobile phone when traveling, according to lawyers. Protection against Harassment Act 1997 can be invoked after only two abusive messages.

While the specific process varies from country to country, international agreements are usually negotiated and signed at the highest level of government, with the participation of all other filtering up (in theory) hierarchy, at least until you get something like ACT, where the public is on the ground and essentially nullifies the entire system. One thing you do not see often, municipal governments all play a direct role in the international negotiations, but this is exactly what is happening right now in Canada, where

cities

seeking to avoid a similar situation to ask ACTA opt for the Canada-European Union (CETA) at the municipal level.

• The effort is led by the Council of Canadians, a social justice group that is working to convince the towns, villages and municipal governments across Canada to apply for exemption from the CETA. Their main concern is the chapter on the markets of the agreement, which establishes rules on how governments and other public bodies can spend money on goods and services, and that unduly restrict the common fear:

For example, the new rules of CETA on how public bodies spend money would:

prohibit local municipalities to place or purchase preferences of Canadians in contracts or tenderers to use some local products or Canada, services or work. This would end the ability of municipalities to use public procurement as an instrument of economic and social development.

municipalities prohibit the use of government spending to create or sustain a market for innovative goods and services, including green technologies, if the effect would favor domestic producers or attract investment in Canada. prohibit municipalities to spend public money to promote sustainability, such as buying local food policy that Toronto will reduce emissions from food miles.

While municipal governments are part of CETA, these prohibitions apply to local procurement. We need to ensure that cities, towns, school boards and hospitals are not bound by these rules unnecessary.

. So today we wrote about how BMG issued a takedown in the new web ad placed by the Romney campaign, which included a short video of President Obama on Al Green singing "We'll stay together." As mentioned earlier, this use seems to be quite clear "fair use". And of course, BMG should be noted that only seemed to go after the announcement of Romney, it is quite clear that this was politically motivated. The original clips of Obama singing Al Green was everywhere ... BMG and YouTube only chose to go after that which is used in a commercial for Romney. Looks like someone fired attorneys BMG this looks very bad , so that instead of reversing, BMG doubled Down > and demolition has published many original videos of Obama singing a line from Al Green. Here's one that shows BMG has issued demolition.
The original was actually tied to the Associated Press, which - as an organization new - has a fair use claim yet stronger. But this video is not good, despite a slightly different message on the site now:



This is ... rare, because the video was absolutely available this morning. Associated Press has decided to effectively block the video in the U.S.? It seems ... abroad. Why be intimidated AP that? Because I am curious to know these things, I got on my system and my hand Dandy VPN connection magically transported to Canada ... wherein the video again. Magic. Therefore, it is not entirely clear what is happening here, but if you are in the U.S. (and not via VPN), it seems that these reductions singer Al Green Obama quickly disappear from the Web, in Despite the clear demands of fair use. Everything is

9 seconds

and no way we can make a reasonable claim that such use is carried in the original work or otherwise acts as a substitute.
