The development of online threats with the purpose of infiltrating and creating havoc on computer and network systems is not only the work of individuals. This kind of activity is if fact carried out in an organised way at a much higher level. Many powerful first world countries have teams of developers who work on creating these kinds of applications which are targeted at the computer systems of other countries. There is one super-power, China, which have a group of experts promoting its online presence in order to cement its rise as an industrial, military and financial power ready to influence the world.
China has been able to maintain this development by having approximately 10 000 personal involved with cyber intelligence scattered in 170 cities throughout the world. Together they are a vital link in the countries political and economic force and are collectively also known as 'deep water fishes'. This armada has its roots in the 1980's and today are the reason behind the strength of China's influence on internet based activities.
It is on full alert and has Trojans, viruses, malware and other threats ready to infringe on opposing computer systems should a situation of war arise. All of this was initiated by General Dai under the leadership of President Jiang Zemin. This show of power is also evident in the local online environment, where the Chinese government have what is called the 'Golden Shield' in operation. With this it is able to control all cyber links with the rest of the world and has a full view of all communication within its civilian and electronic environments.
The online world has been a source of damaging attacks on many commercial websites across the globe. There are many theories about the Chinese being the instigators behind many of these attacks, but no-one has been prepared to follow this up by irrevocably giving them the blame.
We should also not fool ourselves. It is not on the Chinese who are involved with this kind of activity. Besides individuals who are involved with the development of online threats, many western countries are also engaged with similar activities.
There is one good example of such a threat which was developed jointly between Israel and the USA and was called the Stuxnet worm. It was development by a number of individuals situated throughout the world and in 2010 it was said to be responsible for leading to the delay in the development of the Iranian uranium enrichment program. This virus got into the computer system responsible for controlling the centrifuges used in this process, and eventually caused about a quarter of them to malfunction.
It is a fact that propaganda in times of adversary is not anything new, except that the mode of action has changed. In the last century printing and television was used extensively. Today, with the growth in the internet, this has also become a tool utilised extensively for propaganda as well.
Cyber warfare is used by individuals and major countries to take control of their opposition and to demonstrate a show of power. This action is not only limited to a country such as China, but is a way of warfare adopted by most of the world super powers.

Perhaps no aspect of turkey hunting garners more attention than calling. All of us love to hear the sound of our own voices as we practice, calling contests have become a big deal on the sporting scene and there are enough calls on the market to give a patent specialist an acute migraine.
In the final analysis, though, calling means dealing with judges which sleep in trees, not those hidden behind curtains on a stage. Moreover, never mind the fact that woodsmanship looms larger in the overall scheme of things, calling skills and savvy often make the difference between filled tags and flat-out frustration.
With those thoughts in mind, what follow are some tips on the fine art of talking turkey. While you read them, keep in mind the opinion of the great turkey hunter Archibald Rutledge, expressed in a piece describing his 339th gobbler. He reckoned it was just possible, by that point in his career, that he had achieved the kindergarten level in the sport. Like him, you can always improve and learn more.
Biologists tell us that the wild turkey's vocabulary includes somewhere north of 30 sounds. For hunting purposes, reasonable mastery of just two—the cluck and yelp—is essential. Other useful sounds include purrs, fighting purrs, cutts (just a series of fast-paced clucks), fly-down cackles, kee-kees and gobbles. Use the latter with caution around other hunters, especially on public land, although I would note that a new tube-type gobble call just introduced from Down N Dirty Outdoors, The Haint, transcends anything I've ever heard when it comes to gobbling. Get your clucks and yelps down pat—the rest is merely lace on the bride's pajamas.
In my studied opinion, one shared by a lot of experienced turkey hunters with whom I have been fortunate enough to spend time afield, there is a pronounced tendency among turkey hunters, especially relative newcomers to the sport, to call too loud, long and often. Think about live turkey conversation you hear in the woods. Wild turkeys don't blunder around gossiping like the weekly ladies auxiliary meeting. For the most part they go about their business quietly, knowing every sound can send a message to critters anxious to eat them.
Rest assured that once a gobbler responds to your call, he knows where you are, and from that point on patience will weigh heavily in your favor.
Turkeys are capricious creatures. One day a gobbler gives voice so frequently you wonder if his gobble mechanism might wear out. The next day he's silent as a tomb. Similarly, the type of call which trips a longbeard's switch varies from one day to the next. The obvious message is: carry a number of calls and know how to use them.
In addition to instruments of seduction known as turkey calls, a further layer of calls which should be a part of every hunter's repertoire — locators. Locator calls serve the basic purpose of pinpointing a gobbler, and in addition to evoking "shock" responses, they can be useful when you decide to reposition on a bird. Over the years I have maintained a log of sounds which elicited gobbles. They now exceed a hundred, but a few locator calls are really critical. Those which imitate owls, crows, hawks, coyotes and pileated woodpeckers come at the top of the list. You should carry two or three such locators or else be able to produce sounds of these critters with your natural voice.
A common problem connected with calling is hunter concern about how he sounds. Practice is important, but rhythm is at least as important as pinpoint accuracy in producing turkey talk. After all, if you listen to real turkeys enough, realization begins to dawn that they have all kinds of voices. Some of the worst calling you'll ever hear comes from live hens. With that in mind, work on the pitch and rhythm of your yelps, the clarity and crispness of your clucks and then expand to other sounds. The key is having a reasonable degree of confidence in sounds you make.
One hint in that regard might help — get out in the woods sometime during the off season and record your calling. Start a recorder, walk 50 yards away and run a series of yelps. Walk 50 more yards and repeat, continuing the process at 150 and 200 yards. Then walk back, rewind and listen. You may be pleasantly surprised at your calling.
Gobblers vary greatly in terms of responsiveness, and one of the hallmarks of a skilled, experienced hunter is rapid recognition of how to gauge a particular bird's temperament – what is sometimes called "taking his temperature." Some birds work best with soft, infrequent calling while others need to be wound up tight as an eight-day clock with louder, more frequent calling. The advice offered above on calling in a sparing fashion generally holds true, but if it becomes clear a particular bird requires more (or less) vocal interaction, it is to the hunter's distinct advantage to adjust his calling accordingly.
As noted at the beginning of this article, calling is only part of it – maybe no more than 25 percent of the overall picture – but that opportunity for vocal interaction and a conversational battle of wits goes straight to the essence of turkey hunting's appeal. Add to that the fact that calling is something you never totally master – there is no graduation day in the school of turkey hunting – and you have both the charm and the challenge of the rites of spring.

States Start Meth Offender Registries:
Loaded on Aug. 15, 2011 by Gary Hunter
Filed under: Crime/Demographics, Statistics/Trends, Databases. Location: United States of America.
By Gary Hunter
Several states have started websites listing the names of convicted methamphetamine manufacturers. Tennessee started the first online registry in 2005 with a list of about 400 names. Georgia, Oklahoma, Washington and West Virginia followed shortly after. Oregon has gone as far as to alert residents when a meth-maker in their area is released from prison. Montana lists its known meth manufacturers on the sex offender registry and does not bother to distinguish between the two.
Methamphetamine goes by a variety of monikers: crystal meth, ice, glass and speed are just a few. The ingredients to make meth are strictly controlled by federal guidelines.
Some of those ingredients, pseudoephedrine, ephedrine and phenylephrine are contained in a variety of cold and allergy medicines. Once sold over the counter, tablets containing these chemicals are now dispensed sparingly in most states and only after customers present identification and sign a log with each purchase. Oklahoma was the first to ban the sale of over-the-counter cold and allergy tablets.
The notion of meth offender registration is believed to have begun with property owners who were tired of having their houses and apartments destroyed by meth cooks. Every chemical used to manufacture meth is toxic. Just the smell from combining those ingredients can destroy a house or apartment. Research suggests that six pounds of toxic waste results from every pound of meth produced. This waste goes into the air as fumes or down the drain as chemicals. In a worst case scenario the cooking process can result in a violent explosion.
Oklahoma officials estimated each meth user represents a $350,000 cost to the state. Costs include $54,000 for treatment, $12,000 in child welfare services and $3,500 to decontaminate manufacturing sites.
Legal questions have been broached as to the constitutionality of meth registries. Graham Boyd, director of the ACLU's Drug Policy Litigation Project claims that listing a meth-offender for years after his conviction is classified as extra punishment which is "not allowed under our Constitution."
However, the reality is that this same argument failed to sway the U.S. Supreme Court when it was raised by sex offenders. It is unlikely that meth offenders will garnish more sympathy.
"We want to arm citizens with information, so they can protect themselves and their communities," said Brian McClung, spokesman for Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty who created that state's meth registry in December 2006.
But Gov. Pawlenty finds himself opposed by some high ranking officials. Minnesota State Attorney General Mike Hatch, who has a reputation for being tough on drug issues, describes the meth registry as a good way for dealers and users to keep in touch.
"What better place to find a meth dealer than on Internet Website," Hatch was quoted as saying in July 2006.
It is worth noting that Hatch also opposed Pawlenty in the bid for governor. Still, others like Boyd agree with him.
"One group for whom this registry is going to be an incredibly good resource is people looking to buy methamphetamine," says Boyd.
Some studies point to the fact that meth use is far from the epidemic it's made out to be.
Research shows that on the list of abused drugs methamphetamine is one of the rarest used. Meth use stabilizes among adult users. Neither has there been a dramatic increase among first-time users over time.
So why the meth-mania? Certainly there is the convenient public mantra of being tough on crime. But the likely motivation is the $400 million federal grant offered to states who find and eliminate meth labs. Hiding behind the illusion of public safety, state officials are able to milk federal coffers to solve a miniscule if not non-existent epidemic.
The number of meth labs actually seized nationwide has decreased between 1999 and 2004. Over 17,000 labs were found in 2003; only 12,000 were found in 2009 according to a Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) report.
Probably the most ridiculous reflection of the idea of registering meth manufacturers is the fact that none of the agencies involved actually do anything to ensure the accuracy of their information. The Tennessee Bureau of Investigations attaches a disclaimer to its registry to alert users that addresses may not be accurate because they don't verify their information. And unlike sex offenders, meth offenders are not required to register personally. Their information is simply forwarded from one state agency to another.
Critics of meth registration have noted that most states cannot even keep track of sex offenders who refuse to register. Lawmakers are now compounding the problem with the impossible task of trying to keep track of tens of thousands of drug makers as well.
Neither is there any reason to believe that putting their names on the internet will deter drug makers from plying their trade or become responsible citizens.
PLN has often noted that paranoia-inspired registration laws accomplish little, waste tax dollars and endanger the civil rights of every citizen. If reason does not prevail over irrational legislation our most personal business will eventually become internet fodder.

An American woman has been charged with a serious drugs offence after allegedly attempting to import 13 kilograms of methamphetamine into Sydney airport, concealed inside boxes of children's toys.
The 37-year-old arrived on a flight from San Francisco on Sunday morning (25 November) and was selected for a baggage examination by Australian Border Force (ABF) officers.
ABF officers uncovered 25 packages hidden in four boxes of children's toys. The packages weighed approximately 13 kilograms in total, and presumptively tested positive for methamphetamine.
Further forensic testing will be undertaken by the Australian Federal Police (AFP) to determine the exact weight and purity of the substances.
AFP officers arrested the woman and transported her to Mascot Police Station where she was charged with importing a commercial quantity of border controlled drugs, contrary to section 307.1of the Criminal Code 1995 (Cth). The maximum penalty for this offence is life imprisonment.
ABF Regional Commander NSW, Danielle Yannopoulos said criminals should be aware, the ABF and its partner agencies, have them in their sights.
"ABF officers have the skills, training and technology to detect these dangerous drugs at the border, no matter how criminals try to hide them," Commander Yannopoulos said.
AFP Sydney Airport Police Commander, Superintendent Peter Mullins, said police authorities were always on the lookout for anyone employing unusual methods in an attempt to import illicit drugs into Australia.
"The fact criminals are willing to use children's toys to smuggle such harmful drugs into this country demonstrates the importance of continued vigilance at our borders," he said.
The woman appeared in Central Local Court yesterday.

Lung ultrasonography is a rapid, effective alternative to CT scans and chest radiographs for diagnosing pneumonia in the ED and ICU.
A recent review by Yang Xia from the Second Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang University School of Medicine in Hangzhou, China, and colleagues of methods used for diagnosing pneumonia found that lung ultrasound (LUS) presents an effective alternative to more traditional methods, including thoracic computed tomography (CT) scanning and chest radiograph. The authors evaluated this novel use of LUS in adults through a meta-analysis of 14 articles published in English on PubMed and EMBASE and published their findings in the Journal of Thoracic Disease.1 The review included 1911 enrolled participants and found that LUS offered rapid, highly accurate diagnosis of pneumonia.
Previous studies indicated that up to 30% of chest radiographs performed in emergency departments (EDs) yield false-positive or false-negative results.2 The authors reviewed 9 studies that used chest radiographs in 1343 patients (782 with pneumonia, 561 controls) and found the pooled sensitivity with LUS was far greater in comparison (92.8% vs 75.1%, respectively). Pooled specificity when LUS was compared with chest radiograph was 89.7% and 90.5%, respectively.
Pooled sensitivity with LUS was also high when compared with 6 studies using the gold standard of CT alone (90.9%; 89.7% specificity) or with the addition of clinical presentation (95%; 91.3% specificity). Comparison of LUS in 2 studies that reviewed the diagnostic accuracy of microbiological analysis in ventilator-associated pneumonia demonstrated a sensitivity of 53.3% and specificity of 67.9%.
The investigators reported that, in all cases, LUS was efficient in accurately diagnosing pneumonia, with a general pooled sensitivity of 90.4% and specificity of 88.4%. Accuracy was higher in cases identified in the ED than in the intensive care unit (ICU), which the researchers attributed to differences in the types of pneumonia seen in those settings: cases presenting in the ED were more likely to be community-acquired pneumonia, while those occurring in the ICU were usually hospital acquired or ventilator associated.
Placing the patient in a supine, semirecumbent, or sitting position during sonography improved the diagnostic power of LUS. The researchers suggested that as this modality offers a low-cost, noninvasive, rapid method of diagnosing pneumonia that can be conducted at bedside, it is suitable in both ICU and ED settings and should be implemented whenever possible. The consistency and accuracy of results across the studies the investigators evaluated indicated that LUS is a relatively easy procedure to learn.
