Today in History
Today is Tuesday, April 30, the 120th day of 2013. There are 245 days left in the year.
Today's Highlight in History:
On April 30, 1973, President Richard Nixon announced the resignations of top aides H.R. Haldeman and John Ehrlichman, Attorney General Richard G. Kleindienst and White House counsel John Dean, who was actually fired.
On this date:
In 1789, George Washington took office in New York as the first president of the United States.
In 1803, the United States purchased the Louisiana Territory from France for 60 million francs, the equivalent of about $15 million.
In 1812, Louisiana became the 18th state of the Union.
In 1863, the design of the Great Seal of the Confederate States of America was approved by the Confederate Congress.
In 1900, engineer John Luther "Casey" Jones of the Illinois Central Railroad died in a train wreck near Vaughan, Miss., after staying at the controls in a successful effort to save the passengers.
In 1938, a precursor to the cartoon character Bugs Bunny first appeared in the Warner Bros. animated short "Porky's Hare Hunt."
In 1939, the New York World's Fair officially opened with a ceremony that included an address by President Franklin D. Roosevelt.
In 1945, as Russian troops approached his Berlin bunker, Adolf Hitler committed suicide along with his wife of one day, Eva Braun.
In 1968, New York City police forcibly removed student demonstrators occupying five buildings at Columbia University.
In 1983, blues singer and guitarist Muddy Waters died in Westmont, Ill., at age 68.
In 1988, Gen. Manuel Noriega, waving a machete, vowed at a rally to keep fighting U.S. efforts to oust him as Panama's military ruler.
In 1993, top-ranked women's tennis player Monica Seles was stabbed in the back during a match in Hamburg, Germany, by a man who described himself as a fan of second-ranked German player Steffi Graf. (The man, convicted of causing grievous bodily harm, was given a suspended sentence.)
Ten years ago: International mediators presented Israeli and Palestinian leaders with a new Middle East "road map," a U.S.-backed blueprint for ending 31 months of violence and establishing a Palestinian state. Mahmoud Abbas (mahk-MOOD' ah-BAHS') took office as Palestinian prime minister. The U.S. Navy withdrew from its disputed Vieques bombing range in Puerto Rico, prompting celebrations by islanders.
Five years ago: The Federal Reserve cut interest rates for a seventh straight time, reducing the federal funds rate a quarter-point to 2 percent. An avalanche in Italy's northwestern Alps killed five French ski-mountaineers.
One year ago: President Barack Obama and Japanese Prime Minister Yoshihiko Noda, meeting at the White House, decried aggressive acts from North Korea, including a recent failed rocket launch, and vowed to maintain a unified front against such provocations. A ferry carrying more than 300 people capsized in a river in northeast India, killing some 100 people and leaving about as many missing.

Barry Diller Defends Aereo, Says Legal Battle is Over - The ...
Barry Diller said Monday that Aereo's recent legal victories make it clear that networks and studios suing to stop his IAC-owned service are fighting a losing battle.
?We think the lawsuit is over, but what we think is broadcasters are doing is saying this is a terrible threat and [they are trying to] get Congress to act," the IAC chairman and senior executive told a crowd at the Milken Institute's Global Conference in Los Angeles. "I don?t think it will happen, but its up for grabs.?
Diller said it was not his intent to disrupt the cable and broadcast industry. Aereo it just part of the changes in business models being brought about by technology advances.
?The reason it interested me was not that I wanted to go into the newly enabled business of technology with antennas,? said Diller? ?We?re just starting on video.. It's just beginning and its going to absolutely change most things. It will break up the closed and bundled system of cable and satellite distribution because I think it has? gotten unwieldy.?
ANALYSIS: How Talent Loses if Aereo Wins
The resistance has not surprised him. ?No incumbent ever wants to see its territory invaded,? said Diller. ?That makes them angry if you invade the territory of a closed system.?
Diller is the primary backer of Aereo, which broadcasters and studios see as the latest technological challenge to owners of intellectual property. Aereo takes signals from over the air -- without paying royalties or retransmission consent fees -- and delivers them over the Internet in packages sold to viewers as an less expensive alternative to paying for cable TV. ?
Aereo offers consumers a full lineup of broadcast stations. That includes the ability to fast-forward past commercials and record programs on digital recorders for later use.
On April 1, The Second Circuit Court of Appeals declined to issue an injunction against the streaming-TV service Aereo in a legal battle with broadcasters and film studios including Disney?s ABC network and Twentieth Century Fox. Hollywood says Aereo is the same as a cable-television network, so it falls under the 1976 Copyright Act which bans unlicensed communications with ?the public,? ?by means of any device or process.?
The three-judge panel ruled that by providing individual streams to consumers Aereo was similar to a consumer streaming a TV show from a Slingbox in one room to a TV set in another room. The judges said Aereo has one TV antenna and one recording device for each subscriber, so it is not the same as a cable TV system.

Aereo is already available in the New York City market and will launch in Boston on May 15. The company has said it will soon expand to about 20 other markets, including Chicago, Philadelphia and Washington, D.C.
When asked about the threat by broadcasters to move their prime programming to cable TV to protect it from Aereo, Diller said ?there is literally no chance. I think they are doing it? so enough people will say that would be terrible. Let?s get Congress to change the law.?
"The networks most profitable business are their local stations," he added. "The idea they can rip the primetime programming from the local stations and the stations will survive is kind of silly... These companies -- and I used to be one of them -- have for years resisted any kind of change. What fool wouldn?t resist change if change might take away their neat little situation?"

Obama shares a moment with 7-year-old cancer patient
BERLIN, April 29 (Reuters) - Barcelona will try every trick in the book to overturn a 4-0 first-leg deficit against Bayern Munich in their Champions League semi-final return leg on Wednesday, honorary Bayern president Franz Beckenbauer warned on Monday. Bayern crushed the Spaniards last week in a surprisingly one-sided encounter but Beckenbauer, former player, coach and president of Germany's most successful club, warned that Barcelona were not ready to surrender. "Barca will try everything to throw Bayern off balance," he told Bild newspaper. ...

Olympia Circuits' Arno Shield lets Arduino newcomers bring their own board
While there have certainly been attempts at easing the Arduino learning curve, many of these still demand a new board or simplify just one aspect of a much larger universe. Olympia Circuits' new Arno Shield could help strike a better balance between starting fresh and diving into the deep end. It includes all the buttons, lights and sensors needed for 40-plus educational projects, but grafts on to existing boards such as the company's LeOlympia or an Arduino Uno. Owners don't have to add parts or wires; they just remove the shield once they've learned enough to create their own masterworks. The shield kit won't be cheap when it arrives on May 2nd for $60, but it may prove the real bargain for tinkerers who want a full-fledged Arduino board as soon as the training wheels come off.

Taliban bombs targeting politicians offices kill 9
PARACHINAR, Pakistan (AP) ? Pakistani Taliban detonated bombs at the campaign offices of two politicians in the country's northwest on Sunday, police said, killing at least nine people in an escalation of attacks on secular, left-leaning political parties.
In first attack, on the outskirts of Kohat city, a bomb ripped through the office of Syed Noor Akbar, killing six and wounding 10 people, police official Mujtaba Hussain said.
A second bomb targeted a campaign office of another candidate, Nasir Khan Afridi, in the suburbs of Peshawar city. That attack killed three people and wounded 12, police official Saifur Rehman Khan said.
Both politicians, who were not in the offices at the time of the blasts, are running as independent candidates for national assembly seats to represent constituencies in Pakistan's lawless tribal areas, where scores of militant groups operate including some with links to al-Qaida. The general elections will be held on May 11.
Pakistani Taliban spokesman Ahsanullah Ahsan claimed responsibility for both attacks, as well as two others against secular political parties in the southern port city of Karachi.
"We are against all politicians who are going to become part of any secular, democratic government," he told The Associated Press by telephone from an undisclosed location.
The Taliban previously announced a strategy to target three political parties, including the Awami National Party (ANP), the Muttahida Quami Movement (MQM) and the Pakistan People's Party (PPP). All three are perceived as liberal, having earned the Taliban's ire by opposing the insurgency and extremism during their time in the outgoing government.
The onslaught has forced many of the parties to change their campaign strategy and has raised questions about whether the vote can be considered valid if some mainstream parties can't properly take part.
Such attacks have killed at least 28 people in just last four days.
One of the most serious attacks occurred on April 21, when a suicide bomber blew himself up outside a meeting of the ANP in the northwestern city of Peshawar, killing 16 people. The Taliban said the target of the attack was Haroon Ahmad Bilour, whose father, a senior party leader, was killed in a suicide bombing in Peshawar in December. He escaped unscathed, but his uncle, Ghulam Ahmad Bilour, suffered minor injuries.
In the capital, Islamabad, Pakistani officials said they planned to seal the border with Afghanistan and restrict the movement of Afghan refugees on election day.
Officials at the Interior Ministry and the election commission have said that the measure is aimed at preventing terrorist attacks during the vote. However, officials did not say how they would restrict the movement of hundreds of thousands of people spread out across the country or block crossings along the porous border. Pakistan announced similar measures in the past but failed to take action.
The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to brief reporters.
The Islamist and center-right political parties have been spared by the Taliban and have been holding big public rallies without fear of being attacked. They largely support peace talks with the Taliban instead of military offensives.
The leaders of the political parties under Taliban attack have said the violence amounts to election rigging. But they have, so far, decided not to boycott the vote.

2 Hours Sleep Hypnosis for Depression Anxiety Self Confidence ...
Dear Jody I woke up at 1+30: intended to take a short nap. This induced the most vivid dream I have had in years. I was searching the source of this voice in a setting that resembled a victorian park at one moment and a modern campus the? next. I was searching for this whirlpool and a golden leaf that was unaffected at the center. I could levitate through pools of water and over trees. Others seemed to be searching too. I kept searching for the source/voice. I awoke with tears/ecstasy/gratitude.
She meant reduce?not induce?those negative feelings. The need for rhetorical? sarcasm should subside in the first several minutes of the video.
This hypnosis was physically sedating and anxiolytic in nature, complemented by your flawless? and invitational vocalization. Logical parameters and assurances which precede the induction are unique features not found in other hypnotic audios. I thank you sincerely for helping us battle the various neuroses that have chained us to wakeful states, significantly catalyzing mental? health deterioration. I definitely look forward to hearing your other works and future submissions.
As I was coming out of my depression I still had down times but I didn?t let that? get me down. The periods grew shorter, less intense, and while they were happening I was able to be more functional. It does take time for some people but please don?t give up. Keep pointing yourself towards what is good and you will get there.
Thanks Tim. I love you too and excellent cliff jumping. You? are very brave.
Jonnie not sure if you do already but? if not try taking fish oil?I take three a day and after two weeks you should feel something?vitamin d and c also and get a sun light and use it 30 mins a day?

Two Meteorites Discovered In Antarctica May Be From The Same Supernova
There's nothing more fascinating or TV special-worthy than twins separated at birth. Whether they're reunited at 15 or 50 it's safe to say that there'll be some eerily similar food preferences and a whole lot of crying. But what about two chemically identical grains of silica that haven't seen each other for more than 4.6 billion years?
Scientists at Washington University in St. Louis found a single silica grain on a meteorite from Antarctica by inspecting the rock at 20,000x magnification. This tiny dot, which is essentially a grain of sand, is chemically identical to one found in a meteorite from the Chinese Antarctic Research Expedition. Scientists have found other silica grains in asteroids, but they have all been enriched in oxygen-17, which comes from healthy stars. However, both of the newly discovered silica grains contain heavier oxygen-18, which is only formed in specific processes of supernovae.
The appearance of these two grains of silica is so unlikely that researchers believe they originated in the same supernova. There is even speculation that they come from the explosion of gas and dust that started our solar system. Not to be hyperbolic, but this is definitely the biggest cosmic coincidence ever. EVER.

Wall Street Week Ahead: Central banks, data to steer investors
By Wanfeng Zhou
NEW YORK (Reuters) - With signs of a slower economy mounting, the near-term outlook for U.S. stocks isn't rosy, but investors may find comfort next week from the world's major central banks.
The Federal Reserve will meet on Tuesday and Wednesday, with the report of weaker-than-expected, first-quarter growth could reinforce expectations the Fed will keep purchasing bonds at a pace of $85 billion a month.
Low interest rates and ample liquidity provided by the Fed and other central banks have buoyed global equity markets because low borrowing costs for businesses and consumers lead to richer corporate profits. Major U.S. stock indexes hit record highs earlier this month.
"As long as it looks like central banks are on your side and on investors' side as far as providing more liquidity, that's going to help improve sentiment," said Brian Jacobsen, chief portfolio strategist at Wells Fargo Funds Management in Menomonee Falls, Wisconsin.
"I don't think (Fed officials) have got enough data since the last meeting to really justify changing policy. I really don't think they're going to look at slowing the pace of purchases until probably September."
A strong commitment from the Fed to continue its stimulative policy, coupled with corporate earnings that have mostly exceeded lowered forecasts, could help Wall Street extend a rally despite signs that the U.S. economic recovery is losing momentum.
Even though the market ended flat on Friday, its performance for the week was positive. The Standard & Poor's 500 rose 1.7 percent, the Dow Jones Industrial Average was up 1.1 percent and Nasdaq Composite Index rose 2.3 percent
The economy expanded at a 2.5 percent annual rate in the first quarter, the Commerce Department said on Friday, short of expectations of 3.0 percent and setting a cautious tone.
A heavy slate of key economic indicators will be released next week, including personal income and spending, the Institute for Supply Management's manufacturing and services activity indexes, pending home sales, the Chicago purchasing managers' index and consumer confidence from the Conference Board.
The highlight of the week will come on Friday when the Labor Department releases its employment report for April.
Economists polled by Reuters are looking for job growth of 150,000, up from 88,000 in March. The unemployment rate is likely to remain unchanged at 7.6 percent.
"Today's (GDP) data suggests maybe the momentum is much weaker that what was priced in," said John Praveen, chief investment strategist at Prudential International Investments Advisers in Newark, New Jersey.
"We have had a very strong rally, so people are looking for any trigger for profit-taking," he said. Praveen said the market could see a 5 percent pullback in the months ahead should upcoming data prove weaker than expected.
Stocks have had a wild run over the past week after hackers attacked the website of stock broker Charles Schwab Corp
On Thursday, a software glitch shut down the Chicago Board Options Exchange for half the day, preventing trading in options on two of the stock market's most closely watched indexes and delivering the latest blow to confidence in the way U.S. financial markets operate.
EUROPE, EARNINGS
The European Central Bank meets on Thursday and investors will watch to see if it delivers an interest-rate cut as the euro zone economy deteriorates further. Further monetary easing would encourage investors to buy riskier assets and boost stocks.
"The market has been rallying on the fact the ECB might actually start to do something; if the U.S. market reacts in the same way, that might get the market rallying," said John Canally, investment strategist and economist for LPL Financial in Boston.
With earnings reporting now half over, investors will look to see if companies can continue to exceed profit estimates despite lackluster revenue.
According to Thomson Reuters data, of the 271 companies in the S&P 500 that have reported earnings for the first quarter, 69 percent have beaten analysts' expectations, above the 63 percent average since 1994.
However, only 43.9 percent have topped analysts' revenue forecasts, well below the 62 percent average since 2002 and the 52 percent rate for the last four quarters.
Analysts now see earnings growth of 3.8 percent this quarter, up from expectations of 1.5 percent on April 1.
Next week Dow components reporting results will be Pfizer
David Joy, chief market strategist at Ameriprise Financial, based in Boston where he helps oversee about $700 billion in assets, said the lackluster figures suggest the second quarter may not be as robust as hoped.
"Right now, markets are going through an adjustment process, trying to figure out just how robust the economy is here and overseas as well," Joy said. "You have investors sort of biding their time. They are invested, but not with complete conviction."

Man stabs 4 people at church in Albuquerque
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) ? Police say a man stabbed four people at a Catholic church in Albuquerque as a Sunday mass was nearing its end.
Police spokesman Robert Gibbs says a man in his 20s jumped over several pews at St. Jude Thaddeus Catholic Church around noon Sunday and walked up to the choir area where he began his attack.
The injuries to the four church-goers weren't life-threatening. All four were being treated at hospitals.
An off-duty police officer and others at the church subdued the attacker and held him down until police arrived.
Gibbs says the attacker is in custody but that police don't yet know his identity, the motive for the stabbings, whether he had any ties to the victims or whether he regularly attended the church.
The stabbings occurred as the choir had just begun its closing hymns.
Archbishop of Santa Fe Michael Sheehan released a statement saying he was saddened by the attack. "I pray for all who have been harmed, their families, the parishioners and that nothing like this will ever happen again," Sheehan said.
The church didn't immediately return calls seeking comment on Sunday afternoon.

Google releases Glass kernel GPL source, lets developers have at it
While our own Tim Stevens is currently adapting to life with Google Glass, developers are going beyond scratching the surface and actually starting to fiddle with what's inside. Hot on the heels of Jay Freeman rooting Glass, Google's throwing devs a bone to by publicly releasing the kernel source. Interestingly, Karthik's Geek Center spotted info within the file that points to Glass potentially being equipped for NFC support. If you're up for tinkering, you'll find the temporary location of the tar.zx file itself at the source link.

Text and Photo ? CM Cordeiro 2013
The 25th of April was the second day of the Gothenburg International Science Festival 2013, where in the public arena of Nordstan in Gothenburg, a lively presentation on the topic of transportation for the future was ongoing by Per-Olof Arn?s of Chalmers University of Technology in the morning. Colleagues from the University of Gothenburg would also be giving some presentations through the day, regarding the various aspects of the crisis in Europe and how that might have rippling effects on issues such as European state leadership and workforce migrations between countries in Europe.
This year?s theme at the science festival is Cruise and Control. In a multi-dimensional and multi-levelled approach, the event aims to address questions pertaining to the Individual such as personal health and fitness, to security controls by use (or abuse) of technology in Society, to larger Environmental issues such as finding balance between consumption and sustainable living.
The festival has about 30 host venues across the city of Gothenburg, from university lecture halls to public arenas. Many activities are about raising consciousness towards the a higher level We, that both encompasses the Individual, while at the same time, looking at issues beyond the Individual to encompass larger social groups.

The science festival is currently running from 25 to 28 April, which leaves a weekend of knowledge to explore.
It is the largest festival of knowledge in Sweden and one of the most popular science events in Europe, where the academic and scientific circles get a chance to present their research work in building blocks format as it were, to high school and junior college students.
All in all, more than 350 cross-disciplinary lectures, seminars and workshops will be conducted, giving those interested to attend a buffet of activities from which to pick their favourites.

What international development can teach businesses about metrics ...
[Editor's note: This is the third in a multi-part series that examines the pitfalls of sustainability measurements while drawing on lessons learned from outside the business world. For additional context, see the first installments here and here.]
Since this series' last installment, where we identified several measurement pitfalls the sustainability world should avoid, GreenBiz released the 2013 State of Green Business report and a corresponding new set of measures to capture it.
The report describes how businesses are transforming for the new normal of a world that is increasingly volatile, climatically unstable and interconnected. ?
So as a reflection of our changing world -- and sustainable business along with it -- we chose one complex problem for Part III's "Lessons Learned" about metrics: global poverty.
Since 2000, the International Development (ID) community's battle to end (or substantially reduce) poverty by 2015 has played out on the world stage. There have been delays, defeats and some solid accomplishments. In doing so, the development community's thinking has evolved about what best constitutes effective aid and how to know whether it's working.
We find significant lessons for the sustainable business world in the story of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) and the groundbreaking shift towards metrics that occurred with the 2008 Accra Agenda for Action. The ID community has been considering questions of direction towards greater levels of sustainability and how to measure their actual effectiveness over 13 long years of debate and trial and error. We could learn from their longer experience with sustainability goals and metrics.
Pitfall 5: Setting and starting out on goals without doing the groundwork to assess what -- and who -- are being left out. As sustainability can be more complex than it initially appears, goal setting while pursuing it can be even more challenging.
The ID field experienced painful growing pains from what happens when goals, and the initial metrics chosen to evaluate progress towards them, fail to capture what's really important for all stakeholders.

The Notre Dame linebacker was not taken in the first round of the NFL draft Thursday. And so fans ? and even people who don't normally care about football ? will buzz for another 24 hours about the fake girlfriend hoax and its repercussions on his football career.
But what likely dropped Te'o to the second round had little to do with the tabloid-ready story of the woman who supposedly died during the season, only for the Heisman Trophy runner-up to acknowledge in January that he had been a victim of a hoax. Before those revelations, Te'o struggled in the national championship game against Alabama and its offense full of future NFL draft picks ? leaving clubs to wonder how he would fare against similar talent in the pros.
Then he ran a 4.82-second 40-yard dash at the NFL combine, considered slow for a linebacker. He did better at Notre Dame's pro day, but NFL teams already had plenty of football reasons to doubt his worthiness as a first-round pick.
The regular-season dominance by the 6-foot-1, 240-pound All-American now seems so long ago. He led one of the top defenses in the country for an undefeated team. His seven interceptions were more than any other linebacker in 2012, and he finished second in the Heisman Trophy voting behind Texas A&M quarterback Johnny Manziel.
Te'o was considered a late first-round or early second-round pick heading into the draft, which he did not attend. The second and third rounds take place Friday.

Movie review: Performance dominates story in 'Filly Brown' | The Salt ...
"Filly Brown" is a clear case of a character (and a performance) that?s more interesting and moving than the movie she?s in.
The title is the rap handle of Majo Tonorio (played by Gina Rodriguez), a would-be rap star growing up in L.A.?s Latino community. With lyrics borrowed by her imprisoned mother (singer Jenni Rivera, who made her acting debut before her death last December in a plane crash), Majo makes an impression with record producers ? but must decide whether to sell out for quick cash or be true to her music and to her DJ, Santa (Emilio Rivera).
?
HHhj
?Filly Brown?
Opens Friday, April 26, at the Megaplex 15 at Valley Fair (West Jordan) and Cinemark 24 (Jordan Landing); rated R for language, some drug use and violence; 80 minutes.
There?s also home drama, with Majo?s hard-working father (Lou Diamond Phillips) clashing with the lawyer (Edward James Olmos) Majo has hired to represent her mother.
The story occasionally devolves into rags-to-riches clich?s, but directors Youssef Delara and Michael D. Olmos are at their best when spotlighting Rodriguez?s powerful performance behind the mic.

Military grooms new officers for war in cyberspace - PhysOrg.com
The U.S. service academies are ramping up efforts to groom a new breed of cyberspace warriors to confront increasing threats to the nation's military and civilian computer networks that control everything from electrical power grids to the banking system.
Students at the Army, Navy and Air Force academies are taking more courses and participating in elaborate cyberwarfare exercises as the military educates a generation of future commanders in the theory and practice of computer warfare.
The academies have been training cadets in cyber for more than a decade. But the effort has taken on new urgency amid warnings that hostile nations or organizations might be capable of crippling attacks on critical networks.
James Clapper, director of national intelligence, called cyberattack the top threat to national security when he presented the annual Worldwide Threat Assessment to Congress this month. "Threats are more diverse, interconnected, and viral than at any time in history," his report stated. "Destruction can be invisible, latent, and progressive."
China-based hackers have long been accused of cyber intrusions, and earlier this year the cybersecurity firm Mandiant released a report with new details allegedly linking a secret Chinese military unit to years of cyberattacks against U.S. companies. This year, The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal and The Washington Post all reported breaches in their computer systems and said they suspected Chinese hackers. China denies carrying out cyberattacks.
On Tuesday, hackers compromised Associated Press Twitter accounts and sent out a false tweet. AP quickly put out word that the report was false and that its accounts had been hacked. AP's accounts were shut down until the problem was corrected.
Once viewed as an obscure and even nerdy pursuit, cyber is now seen as one of the hottest fields in warfare?"a great career field in the future," said Ryan Zacher, a junior at the Air Force Academy outside Colorado Springs who switched from aeronautical engineering to computer science.
Last year the U.S. Naval Academy in Annapolis, Maryland began requiring freshmen to take a semester on cybersecurity, and it is adding a second required cyber course for juniors next year.
The school offered a major in cyber operations for the first time this year to the freshman class, and 33 midshipmen, or about 3 percent of the freshmen, signed up for it. Another 79 are majoring in computer engineering, information technology or computer science, bringing majors with a computer emphasis to about 10 percent of the class.
"There's a great deal of interest, much more than we could possibly, initially, entertain," said the academy's superintendent, Vice Adm. Michael Miller.
Since 2004, the Air Force Academy has offered a degree in computer science-cyberwarfare?initially called computer science-information assurance?that requires cadets to take courses in cryptology, information warfare and network security in addition to standard computer science. The academy is retooling a freshman computing course so that more than half its content is about cyberspace, and is looking into adding another cyber course.
"All of these cadets know that they are going to be on the front lines defending the nation in cyber," said Martin Carlisle, a computer science professor at the Air Force Academy and director of the school's Center for Cyberspace Research.
About 25 Air Force cadets will graduate this year with the computer science-cyberwarfare degree, and many will go on to advanced studies and work in their service's cyber headquarters or for U.S. Cyber Command at Fort Meade, Md., the Defense Department command responsible for defensive and offensive cyberwarfare.
Almost every Army cadet at the U.S. Military Academy at West Point, New York, takes two technology courses related to such topics as computer security and privacy. West Point also offers other cyber courses, and a computer security group meets weekly. One of the biggest cybersecurity challenges is keeping up with the head-spinning pace of change in the field.
"You know American history is pretty much the same" every year, said Lt. Col. David Raymond, who teaches a cybersecurity course. "In this domain, it's really tough to keep up with how this thing evolves."
In his congressional report, Clapper noted that the chance of a major attack by Russia, China or another nation with advanced cyber skills is remote outside a military conflict?but that other nations or groups could launch less sophisticated cyberattacks in hopes of provoking the United States or in retaliation for U.S. actions or policies overseas. South Korea accused North Korea of mounting a cyberattack in March that shut down thousands of computers at banks and television broadcasters.
Gen. Keith Alexander, head of U.S. Cyber Command, told Congress in March the command is creating teams to carry out both offensive and defensive operations. A spokesman said the command is drawing cyber officers from the service academies, officer schools and Reserve Officer Training Corps programs.
Teams from the three academies compete in events such as last week's National Security Agency Cyber Defense Exercise, in which they try to keep simulated computer networks running as an NSA "aggressor team" attacks. Teams from the U.S. Coast Guard and Merchant Marine academies also took part, along with graduate students from the U.S. Naval Postgraduate School and Canada's Royal Military College.
Air Force won among undergraduate schools. The Royal Military College won among graduate schools.
That hands-on experience is invaluable, said 2nd Lt. Jordan Keefer, a 2012 Air Force Academy graduate now pursuing a master's degree in cyberoperations at the Air Force Institute of Technology.
"You can't just go out there and start hacking. That's against the law," he said. The competitions, he said, "gave me actual experience defending a network, attacking a network."
Counterterrorism expert Richard Clarke, noting that really high-level computer skills are rare, suggested the military might have to re-examine some of its recruiting standards to attract the most adept cyberwarriors.
"Hackers are the 1 percent, the elite and the creators," said Clarke, who served as White House cybersecurity adviser during the Clinton administration. "I wouldn't worry a whole heck of a lot (about whether they) can they run fast or lift weights."
Cyber's appeal was enough to get Keefer to put aside his dream of becoming a fighter pilot, a job with undeniable swagger. "It's a challenge, and for people who like a challenge, it's the only place to be," Keefer said.

Digital Storm goes after DIY gaming PCs with its $699 Vanquish (video)
Dear rig builder, before you go shopping for your next PSU, Digital Storm would like a word. The company's new line of Vanquish PCs is aimed at gamers who want the price of a self-build, but without the worry that they've mistakenly jammed a 12V ATX cable into a Blu-Ray drive. The base unit offers up an AMD FX-4300 with 8GB RAM, 1TB HDD, a Radeon HD 7750 and Windows 7 for $699 -- just $38 more than the company claims you could snag those unassembled parts on NewEgg. Alongside the professional build, Digital Storm will provide lifetime in-house tech support and a three-year warranty, so if you'd like to learn more, there's PR and video after the break.

?Marketplace Fairness Act?: Harry Reid Pushing Onerous ...
Posted By Vicki McClure Davidson on April 23, 2013
?
Pres. Barack Obama endorses the Internet sales tax that is being rushed through the Democrat-controlled Senate. The disaster this could cause for small online businesses, forced to collect taxes from customers across the country who live in states with no sales tax or with varying sales taxes, could decimate, even destroy online commerce. Additionally, many argue that it would be taxation without representation and could lead to financial transaction taxes.
Majority leader Harry Reid is pushing through this complicated ?Marketplace Fairness Act of 2013? Internet sales tax bill, giving little time for senators to thoroughly read it. They had the bill in hand less than a week, but the motion to proceed passed with an overwhelming majority last night, 74-20, for it to go to a floor vote, perhaps as early as today. A hefty number of Republicans in the Senate voted for it, as they did last month before it was ultimately shot down by the House.
While I understand the arguments made by brick-and-mortar businesses about sales tax and the ?unfair? advantage the lack of it may or may not give to online stores, that isn?t the entire picture. The federal government sees an opportunity for billion more taxpayer dollars to spend and is trying once again to power-grab the Internet. It?s important to remember that in 1992 the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in Quill v. North Dakota that an individual state has no power to directly tax or compel tax collection of citizens of other states, that a taxpayer must have a physical presence in a state in order to require collection of sales or use tax for purchases made by in-state customers.
From the Washington Bureau Business Journals, Internet sales taxes sailing through Senate, but House may be another story:
Sales taxes on Internet purchases grew one step closer to becoming a reality Monday evening when the Marketplace Fairness Act easily cleared a Senate procedural hurdle by a 74-20 margin.
Final passage is expected later this week. The legislation would allow states that simplify their sales tax systems to collect taxes on purchases made by their residents from online businesses based in other states. Under current law, retailers have to collect sales taxes only for states where they have a physical presence.
Bricks-and-mortar retailers say legislation is needed because tax-free Internet sales give online retailers an unfair advantage. State and local governments, meanwhile, are hungry for the estimated $22 billion in additional tax revenue they would get if online sales were taxed.
That powerful combination of interests is helping the Marketplace Fairness Act sail through the Senate, but the bill will have a harder time in the House.
Four reasons are listed ? click here for the detailed reasons.
Not all Democrats in the Senate were on board for the Internet sales tax ? last week, Sen. Ron Wyden (D-OR) taped this compelling call to action to stop online sales tax and protect Internet freedom.
Sen. Ron Wyden: ?Yes? to Innovation and ?No? to Online Sales Tax
?
From The Wall Street Journal, The Internet Sales Tax Rush:
Every time Congress has taken a serious look at proposals to boost Internet sales taxes, it has rejected them. That?s probably why pro-tax Senators are trying to rush through an online tax hike with as little consideration as possible.
As early as Monday, the Senate will vote on a bill that was introduced only last Tuesday. The text of this legislation, which would fundamentally change interstate commerce, only became available on the Library of Congress website over the weekend. And you thought ObamaCare was jammed through Nancy Pelosi?s Democratic House in a hurry.
For Senators curious about what they?re voting on, it is the same flawed proposal that Mike Enzi (R., Wyo.) introduced in February. It has been repackaged to qualify for a Senate rule that allows Majority Leader Harry Reid to bypass committee debate and bring it straight to the floor.
Mr. Enzi?s Marketplace Fairness Act discriminates against Internet-based businesses by imposing burdens that it does not apply to brick-and-mortar companies. For the first time, online merchants would be forced to collect sales taxes for all of America?s estimated 9,600 state and local taxing authorities.
New Hampshire, for example, has no sales tax, but a Granite State Web merchant would be forced to collect and remit sales taxes to all the governments that do. Small online sellers will therefore have to comply with tax laws created by distant governments in which they have no representation, and in places where they consume no local services.
Meanwhile, New Hampshire?s brick-and-mortar retailers will bear no such burden. They will not be required to collect taxes on the many customers who drive across the Maine and Massachusetts borders to shop in New Hampshire. Bill sponsors say it would be too big a hassle to force traditional retailers to ask every walk-in customer where they live, but these Senators are happy to impose new obligations online.
The Enzi plan would require a centralized tax collector for each state or for a group of states that would gather both state and local levies from the online merchants. His office concedes that could still mean 27 or more different auditors of a Web-based business?which is better than 9,600 but hardly qualifies as simplicity.
Daniel Horowitz addresses more concerns in a post last month at RedState ? The Marketplace Fairness Act is More Unfair Than Status Quo:
Some conservatives who are pushing a federally-mandated internet tax claim to be bothered by a question of free market fairness. After all, isn?t the current sales tax system tendentious and beneficial to online retailers who could offer the same products to consumers as brick and mortar stores without having to charge sales tax?
Let?s first acknowledge that far from crushing mom and pop shops, the internet has actually leveled the playing field for them. The internet has allowed smaller businesses to compete everywhere, even if they lack the capital necessary to build a national network of wholesalers, distributors, and retailers like the Walmarts of the world. As for collecting taxes, there is no good way of collecting e-commerce sales taxes across state lines without growing government, creating even worse market distortions, and hurting low-tax red states.
The solution that is being pushed by companies like Walmart, revenue-hungry governors, and those who claim to be concerned about the free market, is the Marketplace Fairness Act (S.336/H.R. 684). Yes, that?s a real conservative sounding name. The bill would essentially allow states to join together to force online retailers to collect sales taxes on behalf of all 50 states based on the location of the shipping address.
To the extent that the status quo gives an advantage to online vendors, the MFA would overcorrect the problem and hurt online vendors. While brick and mortar stores are forced to collect taxes from everyone, they are only subject to the tax of their home state. So if they are located in a state with no sales tax or a low tax they collect the lower tax, even if the customer is from a high tax state. Under the MFA, online vendors in a state like New Hampshire would still have to collect the high rate of taxes of customers from California. So red-state companies will have to serve as tax collector for high-taxed blue states, thereby obviating the benefit of being in a red state and blurring the effectiveness of laboratories of democracy.
Moreover, why would we want to encumber online businesses with the technicalities of establishing a tax collection system that would satisfy nearly 10,000 unique tax jurisdictions in this country? Hence, whereas under the current system brick and mortar businesses have to collect more in taxes, under the MFA online vendors in red states would pay even more, plus they would incur the cost of the new regulatory burden of complying with the myriad of tax codes. That is a recipe for killing jobs and raising the cost of goods. It?s for good reason that the Quill decision referred to such a scheme as a ?burden? and violation of due process.
In fact, collection, enforcement, and reciprocity of this tax would be so complicated that it would engender yet another fix in the endless cycle of government incompetence. The only way to effectively collect it would be with a uniform national sales tax. There is no question in my mind that the MFA would be the easiest way for liberals to leverage their much sought-after national sales tax ? an entirely new revenue stream.
This was posted at Breitbart?s Big Government last year:
Of note is the fact that states represented or formerly represented by supporters of the bill such as Florida, Nevada, Tennessee and Wyoming are among those with no income tax, where there is a strong argument against emboldening income tax introduction proponents.
If the Marketplace Fairness Act passes, will you be paying more on your online purchases? That depends.
First, residents of Kansas, Kentucky, New York, North Dakota, Texas and Washington already pay tax on Amazon purchases (and that list is set to increase because of agreements reached between Amazon and some other states), while customers of Overstock.com who live in Utah already pay sales tax on goods they buy through the retailer.
Meanwhile, in California, some business owners have already been required by state officials to report and pay sales tax on online purchases made through the likes of Amazon.
Given the Golden State?s overall approach to taxes and regulation, it seems plausible that when taxes are required to be collected and remitted by the retailer directly, other taxes will not be reduced commensurately? and so for those in very blue, very liberal states, skeptics say, an effective tax hike could apply.
This is how the Japanese view the Internet sales tax debate, from NMA TV:
