Can Helmets Cut Tornado Deaths? CDC Isn't So Sure
One year ago this week, powerful tornadoes killed more than 300 people in the Southeast. Experts now say that some tornado deaths could be prevented if people add one more step when taking cover: wear a helmet. But official guidelines from the CDC call for people to use their hands to protect their heads.

Working: More recent research shows labs are convivial places
Scientists are not only social - judging from all the weekend parties, working lunches and dinner celebrations one busy lab puts together - but lab work requires an enormous amount of collaboration and communication. Zechiedrich is a professor in the department of molecular virology and microbiology at Baylor and specializes in DNA structures. Zechiedrich is a flutist and sits next to the principal oboist, a registered nurse at the University of Texas M.D. Anderson Cancer Center, who mentioned that U.S. solders were returning from Afghanistan with hard-to-fight bacteria infections from contaminated dirt on shrapnel. Another conversation, with a Baylor computer scientist and fellow foodie, pushed Zechiedrich to think about sequencing strains of drug-resistant bacteria in Houston-area patients. Any specialty has its own shorthand, and it wasn't easy for the scientists to keep jargon at bay, but some of them brought out old-fashioned phone cords and colored ropes to explain the super- coiling features of DNA.

?Kid? Yamamoto saves injured man?s life at Tokyo subway
Norifumi "Kid" Yamamoto, who has fought for the UFC, K-1, Shooto and Dream, was in a Tokyo subway when he spotted an injured man on the tracks.�Yahoo! Japan is reporting his actions saved the man's life.
Yamamoto jumped onto the tracks when he saw the injured man, who was bleeding heavily from his forehead. He tried to lift him off, but couldn't do it on his own. Yamamoto convinced bystanders to help him. Together, they moved him off the tracks to safety before the next train came along. The injured man is now in stable condition at an area hospital.
After an impressive career in Japan, Yamamoto lost three straight fights in the UFC. His last bout was a submission loss to Vaughan Lee at UFC 144 in February.

The CISPA Amendments We Really Need
The goal of CISPA, the Cyber Intelligence Sharing and Protection Act ? the latest cybersecurity legislation pending in the House of Representatives ? seemed so simple in the beginning: From time to time, security companies need to provide information about possible threats to government authorities so they can take action. When you write that idea down on a napkin, it makes sense. When you base legislation on what you wrote on the napkin, it becomes the next target of the Internet rights lobby.
The problem is that we live in an era when almost any system that can be exploited will be. The Internet is one example. The law is another.
You can?t disagree with what the napkin version of CISPA implies: Government alone cannot provide information security. When it?s put that way, everyone could get behind it. There are plenty of political ideas that, when presented as cleansed, bleached and distilled bullet points, immediately garner broad public support. The challenge lies with implementing these bullet points in a system that can?t be exploited. If SOPA taught us anything, it?s that anyone can exploit a system.
First, Shut Down Everything
The problem with CISPA?s original draft is that it would establish policies in a way that invites exploits. Any network admin will tell you that the best network access policies are implemented as restrictions with exceptions. You turn off all access, and then you create a whitelist of specific identities or functions that may bypass that roadblock. And then you establish a comprehensive audit trail around that bypass.
Yesterday evening in The Atlantic, Alexander Furnas made the point that CISPA is bad policy, at least insofar as it was originally crafted. He?s right in ways he didn?t get around to enumerating. While the basic principles of its author, House Intelligence Committee Chairman Mike Rogers, R-Mich., may be laudable, CISPA wasn?t built for the Information Age. Specifically, it sets up a channel for security agencies and security companies to talk about stuff that may (a very interesting word in this context) apply to cybersecurity.
This sharing of cybersecurity-related information between private and public agencies may entail the disclosure of personally identifiable data, or information that can be combined with such data to reveal other hidden characteristics (using what software vendors refer to as analytics).
Yes, there needs to be a way to accept that this sort of issue will crop up when information is being shared, and to excuse it so that every security issue doesn?t end up being resolved (or not) in a courtroom.
No, No, No ?Notwithstanding?
But it is no longer good policy to simply legislate that certain information that may fall within a certain context may be shared; that anything that violates privacy may be excused; and that, worst of all, any law that says such violations may not happen may be overlooked.
That?s the danger of the clause that, even after Rogers' first set of amendments last week (PDF here), remains in play - the one that begins, ?Notwithstanding any other provision of law.? But many of the advocacy groups that seized on this clause did so in such melodramatic and apocalyptic terms as to invite reasonable people to defend it.
Yet there really is a problem with a policy that says, ?Ignore everything else and treat this as paramount.? That?s not the type of exception that good information systems policy requires ? the kind that creates a limited way around a blanket restriction. Instead, it is a weakening of links in the legal chain, and any weak link is likely to be exploited.
One fear is that such an exploit will come from rights holders who argue that compromising the security of a network in order to commit copyright violation is a threat to the nation?s economy and thus, by extension, to national security.
When you distill an idea to its basic bullet points, it?s harder to disagree with it. That?s why TV political ads are 30 seconds long instead of 30 minutes.
In reality, though, the theft of intellectual property is a legal matter, and should not be treated as a ?cyber threat.? So the second set of Rogers bill amendments is quite welcome. They help define terms and refine the context of the discussion.
For example, the revised Definitions Amendment (PDF here) redefines ?cyber threat information? using phrases such as: ?information directly pertaining to? a threat to the integrity, confidentiality, or availability of a system or network of a government or private entity, or any information stored on, processed on, or transiting such a system or network.? Granularity is good.
A CISPA Whitelist
Now for the next step: a new set of recommended CISPA amendments. Rephrase the new policy the way a good admin would: as a prohibition against the distribution, without court order or lawful mandate, between private entities and government security services, of any information that may be used to identify or characterize a U.S. citizen. Start with a blank slate.
From there, use the classifications in the latest Definitions Amendment as exceptions. Stipulate that these are the circumstances in which exceptions must be made to protect vital national security interests.
Then, establish an audit trail. State that all transactions must be registered, and the log of those registries may be obtained by public request, pending the approval of a judge.
The danger is that this ideal may be boiled down to its bullet points to garner opposition:
- Government must not be open.
- The free flow of information is dead.
- People don?t have the right to know what?s being shared about them without a judge?s approval.
With the master?s touch of a political activist, almost any beneficial idea may be spun to sound fascist.
My 30-second rebuttal: We do need something like CISPA, but the privacy of American citizens and the national security of the United States are too important to be left to intentionally vague regulations and legislation. That?s the wrong kind of openness. With each set of CISPA amendments, however, a viable solution is coming closer.
