News.Com: The myth of cybersecurity. Ray Ozzie. But "weak encryption" is no longer a reasonable excuse for insecure systems. It's clear by now that real security comes not just from strong crypto, but from recognizing and embracing human strengths, frailties and common behaviors in building, managing and using complex systems.

SF Gate: Not a Moment Too Soon. In essence, ChoiceMail's software turns your e-mail box into the equivalent of your front door. If strangers want to enter, they have to knock and identify themselves first. Anyone who won't do that is automatically turned away without you being bothered. [Tomalak's Realm]

Bedsharing neither harms nor helps
The first long-term study into the effects of children up to age 6 routinely sharing a bed with parents finds there are no long-term consequences on development or behaviour.
The study, conducted by Paul Okami and colleagues at the University of California, Los Angeles, give pause to the advice of many doctors and the American Academy of Pediatrics.
Okami followed a group of 205 California-born children since their birth in 1975.
He reports, "[The study did] not support fears that bedsharing would lead to psychosexually troubled relationships later in childhood and adolescence, behavior problems and difficulties in peer and intimate relationships, or early childhood sleep problems."
At age 18, there was no connection between bedsharing prand ability to relate to others, use of alcohol or drugs, self-esteem, violence or sexual activity. [David Harris' Science News]

“We’ve got to have accountability. In order to get good results, it’s important to hold people accountable and align authority and responsibility.”
President George W. Bush, remarks at Oak Park High School in Kansas City, Missouri, June 17, 2002
"What is happening in the United States took my by surprise. I anticipated that in the aftermath of September 11, there would be an enormous hue and cry to find out what went wrong. There has been no hue and cry in the United States. No recriminations, nothing even similar to what happened after Pearl Harbor in 1941...The United States has drawn a veil of silence over the issue of intelligence failure."
Wesley Wark, Canadian intelligence expert and consultant to the Privy Council Office of Canada on Intelligence Policy (Globe & Mail, December 2001) quoted in "The War on Freedom" (Tree of Life Publications)
Comments: Perhaps in December it looked that way, but I do not sense that the failures of the intelligence gathering and executing branches to stop what happened on Sep 11th still has a veil of silence over it. But I also don't think that everything need be conducted in the bright light of day.
