[em-related quotes] Full text of John Kerry's speech
<http://www.rockymountainnews.com/drmn/election/article/
0,1299,DRMN_36_3074928,00.html>
"We value an America that controls its own destiny because it's
finally and forever independent of Mideast oil. What does it mean for
our economy and our national security when we only have three percent
of the world's oil reserves, yet we rely on foreign countries for
fifty-three percent of what we consume? I want an America that relies
on its own ingenuity and innovation — not the Saudi royal family." ..
"And our energy plan for a stronger America will invest in new
technologies and alternative fuels and the cars of the future — so that
no young American in uniform will ever be held hostage to our
dependence on oil from the Middle East." .. "I've told you about our
plans for the economy, for education, for health care, for energy
independence. I want you to know more about them. So now I'm going to
say something that Franklin Roosevelt could never have said in his
acceptance speech: go to johnkerry.com."

[note: .US VP Cheney is reported to be saying that there can be no
'perception' of weakness with the ongoing wartime fiascos. that is, to
be able to cleary see or perceive an ineffectiveness, versus the actual
problems themselves which may still be legitimate weaknesses, whether
strategically or ideologically -- that continue to endanger all by
keepign to a misperception, willful or not, that the situations can use
a good dose of 'perception management' to make them seem to be better
or more stable or more strong than they really are. case in point is
with nuclear policy in wartime, in the domestic and policy fields--
that a case can be made for increasing nuclear power, breaking
treaties, etc. for a greater strength. the weakness is, is that this is
not true nor accurate given dynamics beyond the control of any one
government to administer the truth of all matters. it discredits
outside observers their role in understanding a situation by needing to
defer to authority on the assumed wisdom of a given course. that is,
'strength' is assumed, yet the weakness of nuclear weapons or power or
trade or breaking treaties is _never calculated as a weakness, nor the
cost of dangers associated with these (protection, and even insurance,
the public pays for any risks by decree, should anything bad happen).
therefore, upon reading in the local paper that the state's nuclear
company is laying off hundreds or even thousands of nuclear power plant
workers, in order to be more efficient and save money, is, well, a
contradiction in terms in terms of strength and security-- it is a
weakness if nuclear plants now, still, cannot protect themselves (they
are among the worst weaknesses and most dangerous in the critical
infrastructures) and yet this is the energy planning VP Cheney says to
be the greatest 'stength.' How plants are going to be able to better
protect themselves with many more now unemployed at these very plants,
when previously they already could not could only be managed as
'strength' and 'greater security' by major misperceptions. such as:
greater security through downsizing people, not bombs and nuke waste.
in other words: strengthening public ignorance of nuclear security
weaknesses. (note: this type of statement from a person who is against
lawyers suing doctors for malpractice while his own rogue doctor went
awol online with net drugs while declaring him fit to serve for VP,
bypassing a public medical records review.)]
Prairie Island nuclear plant operator to cut jobs // local news (reg.

<http://www.startribune.com/stories/535/4897896.html>
'Nuclear Management Co., the operator of Prairie Island and five other
nuclear power plants in the Midwest, will eliminate up to 700 positions
in an effort to reduce costs and improve efficiency.' .... '...
representatives of the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers
said the job losses could antagonize workers and jeopardize safety at
the plants.' .... 'In a recent survey, the IBEW found that 80 percent
of Prairie Island's employees believe their future at the plant is no
longer secure. Ninety-three percent of those surveyed said morale at
the plant was low.

'Mr. Libin runs the convention's wireless coordination committee, and
he enforces his own brand of zero-tolerance justice. Armed with
advanced detection equipment, Mr. Libin maintains a lookout for radio
pirates.' .. 'With so many wireless cameras and microphones, so many
walkie-talkies, so many cellphones and so many law-enforcement
agencies, "this is probably the busiest, noisiest radio frequency
environment on the planet right now," said Mr. Libin, a 45-year-old
technology consultant from Woodmere, N.Y. "We've been working for
months on a plan to divide up the frequencies, and if someone is not
complying with the plan, we have to shut them down."' .... '"The
operations, technology and logistics of the event have to demonstrate
and reflect our competence to govern," Mr. Gruin said. "If something
goes really wrong, it's like, well, if you can't run a convention, how
can you run the United States? So for us, that really raises the
stakes."' .... 'The marriage of technology and journalism - and not
just in television - is increasingly founded on advances in wireless
technology, and that is where Mr. Libin and his wireless SWAT team come
in.'

'There are no easy solutions. But there are key questions, and perhaps
some surprising answers.' ..... 'On average, consumers expect color TVs
to last more than 11 years and home stereos more than nine, according
to a 2002 survey for the Consumer Electronics Association. They were
less sanguine about the longevity of cellphones and PDAs: about 4?
years each.' .. 'More often than not, a product's shortened lifespan
has less to do with mechanical failure than with something ''better''
coming along to supplant it...' .... 'Indeed, format obsolescence is
the toughest challenge, says Rand Corp. senior computer scientist Jeff
Rothenberg. Even a simple text file includes code that must be
interpreted.' .. 'It is tempting to think that a clever future digital
archaeologist could decode such a file, Rothenberg says. More likely,
it will be as impossible as it was ''for us to read hieroglyphics
before the Rosetta Stone was discovered,'' he says.'

'802.11i's encryption protocols are based on the AES (Advanced
Encryption Standard) and meet the limited encryption requirements for
the Federal Information Processing Standard 140-2 specification for the
protection of sensitive information.' .. 'The new standard will add
Layer 2 security to a Wi-Fi card, sufficient for wireless access inside
a corporate network, Ritch said. In the early days of Wi-Fi, Intel
recommended users connect to a VPN while roaming wirelessly, even when
inside their corporate network.' .. 'The security provided by 802.11i
is sufficient enough that IT managers can eliminate VPNs except when
workers are connecting remotely, such as at a hotel, Ritch said.
Intel's own IT staff plans to relax its security restrictions, she
said, eliminating the use of internal VPNs while employees are inside
their own network.'

county and state levels." .. 'To hold voting machine makers to their
promises of security, hackers should try to circumvent the systems and

5th CREATIVITY AND COGNITION CONFERENCE: Creative Process
and Artefact Creation: Practice, Digital Media and Support Tools
April 12-15th 2005. Submission Deadline: 1st October 2004
Goldsmiths College, University of London, UK
<http://research.it.uts.edu.au/creative/CandC5/>
CHALLENGES FOR THE CREATIVITY AGENDA
There are important challenges facing the creativity community, not
least of which is to reconcile the broad base of disciplines and their
contending agendas with the need to establish a clear sense of
direction,
albeit an interdisciplinary one. Some of those challenges include:
* What should the focus of creativity research be?
* How can digital tools for supporting specific creative domains be
transferred for the benefit of all people in any domain: in other words
produce generally applicable results?
* Can the effectiveness of a given tool in helping a creative person
accomplish his goal be measured, and if so, how?
* What is the impact of using different tools and technologies on
simple
creative tasks and how do we conduct comparative studies in this area?
* What are the critical breakdowns in the creative process across
domains and whilst using different forms of digital media.
* What is the impact of collaborative work on our notions of
ownership and intellectual property rights?

also have an asset that's sitting idle most of the time - just waiting

United States today, only a few thousand are hybrids. And these lack
the extra internal circuitry and external plug necessary to give

common pitfalls and evaluate the effects of various design choices. If
users plug in information on the height of the partitions, the amount

'The method, dubbed Field Controllable Assembly, is compatible with
contemporary optoelectronics manufacturing methods, and could lead to
low-cost, rapid assembly of optical and electronic devices, said Alan
O'Riordan, a research scientist at the National Microelectronics
Research Centre.' .. 'The method takes advantage of the electric charge
that most objects carry. "The response of these charges to an
appropriately configured electric field may be exploited to direct the
transport and ultimately the self-assembly of the devices," O'Riordan
said.' .. 'The researchers' self-assembly device contains an array of
electrodes on a silicon surface that allows them to put electric fields
of specific configurations on the surface of the chip. The fields can
be configured to attract electric charges at a particular spot and
repel it everywhere else. The right configuration causes components to
rapidly move from one spot to another. Once the components are in
place, the transport fluid is evaporated and the components fused to
the surface by melting and cooling the chip's tin-gold contacts.'
