White House Readies National Online Identification Plan (The National Strategy for Trusted Identities in Cyberspace by Howard Schmidt)

Click here if the video does not play above

The above video is from the morning keynote speech by Howard A. Schmidt, Special Assistant to the President and Cybersecurity Coordinator, Executive Office of the President at the Symantec Government Symposium 2010. As the White House prepares to roll its national identification plan in cyberspace, it appears that the executive branch of the government will indeed control the government as has been predicted.

The Obama administration is set to propose a new system for authenticating people, organizations and infrastructure on the Web. The online authentication and identity management system would be targeted at the transactional level -- for example, when someone logs into their banking website or completes an online e-commerce purchase.

The National Strategy for Trusted Identities in Cyberspace
Posted by Howard A. Schmidt on June 25, 2010 at 02:00 PM EDT

Cyberspace has become an indispensible component of everyday life for all Americans. We have all witnessed how the application and use of this technology has increased exponentially over the years. Cyberspace includes the networks in our homes, businesses, schools, and our Nation’s critical infrastructure. It is where we exchange information, buy and sell products and services, and enable many other types of transactions across a wide range of sectors. But not all components of this technology have kept up with the pace of growth. Privacy and security require greater emphasis moving forward; and because of this, the technology that has brought many benefits to our society and has empowered us to do so much -- has also empowered those who are driven to cause harm.

Today, I am pleased to announce the latest step in moving our Nation forward in securing our cyberspace with the release of the draft National Strategy for Trusted Identities in Cyberspace (NSTIC). This first draft of NSTIC was developed in collaboration with key government agencies, business leaders and privacy advocates. What has emerged is a blueprint to reduce cybersecurity vulnerabilities and improve online privacy protections through the use of trusted digital identities.

The NSTIC, which is in response to one of the near term action items in the President’s Cyberspace Policy Review, calls for the creation of an online environment, or an Identity Ecosystem as we refer to it in the strategy, where individuals and organizations can complete online transactions with confidence, trusting the identities of each other and the identities of the infrastructure that the transaction runs on. For example, no longer should individuals have to remember an ever-expanding and potentially insecure list of usernames and passwords to login into various online services. Through the strategy we seek to enable a future where individuals can voluntarily choose to obtain a secure, interoperable, and privacy-enhancing credential (e.g., a smart identity card, a digital certificate on their cell phone, etc) from a variety of service providers – both public and private – to authenticate themselves online for different types of transactions (e.g., online banking, accessing electronic health records, sending email, etc.). Another key concept in the strategy is that the Identity Ecosystem is user-centric – that means you, as a user, will be able to have more control of the private information you use to authenticate yourself on-line, and generally will not have to reveal more than is necessary to do so.

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS), a key partner in the development of the strategy, has posted the draft NSTIC at www.nstic.ideascale.com. Over the next three weeks (through July 19th), DHS will be collecting comments from any interested members of the general public on the strategy. I encourage you to go to this website, submit an idea for the strategy, comment on someone else’s idea, or vote on an idea. Your input is valuable to the ultimate success of this document. The NSTIC will be finalized later this fall.

Thank you for your input!

Howard A. Schmidt is the Cybersecurity Coordinator and Special Assistant to the President

Gasland - A Film by Josh Fox (Video Trailer)

From the film's official website:

"The largest domestic natural gas drilling boom in history has swept across the United States. The Halliburton-developed drilling technology of "fracking" or hydraulic fracturing has unlocked a "Saudia Arabia of natural gas" just beneath us. But is fracking safe? When filmmaker Josh Fox is asked to lease his land for drilling, he embarks on a cross-country odyssey uncovering a trail of secrets, lies and contamination. A recently drilled nearby Pennsylvania town reports that residents are able to light their drinking water on fire. This is just one of the many absurd and astonishing revelations of a new country called GASLAND. Part verite travelogue, part expose, part mystery, part bluegrass banjo meltdown, part showdown."

GASLAND will be broadcast on HBO through 2012. To host a public screening in your community please click here. The DVD will be on sale in December 2010.

WHOOPING COUGH EPIDEMIC MAY BE WORST IN 50 YEARS

Date: 6/23/2010

Number: 10-041

Contact: Al Lundeen (916) 440-7259

SACRAMENTO

Urging Californians to get vaccinated now, Dr. Mark Horton, director of the California Department of Public Health (CDPH), warned today that the state is on pace to suffer the most illnesses and deaths due to pertussis, also known as whooping cough, in 50 years.

“Whooping cough is now an epidemic in California,” Horton said. “Children should be vaccinated against the disease and parents, family members and caregivers of infants need a booster shot.”

As of June 15, California had recorded 910 cases of pertussis, a four-fold increase from the same period last year when 219 cases were recorded. Five infants — all under three months of age — have died from the disease this year. In addition, 600 more possible cases of pertussis are being investigated by local health departments.

Pertussis is cyclical. Cases tend to peak every two to five years. In 2005, California recorded 3,182 cases and eight deaths.

Pertussis is a highly contagious disease. Unimmunized or incompletely immunized young infants are particularly vulnerable. Since 1998, more than 80 percent of the infants in California who have died from pertussis have been Hispanic.

The pertussis vaccine is safe for children and adults. Pertussis vaccination begins at two months of age, but young infants are not adequately protected until the initial series of three shots is complete at 6 months of age. The series of shots that most children receive wears off by the time they finish middle school. Neither vaccination nor illness from pertussis provides lifetime immunity.

Pregnant women may be vaccinated against pertussis before pregnancy, during pregnancy or after giving birth. Fathers may be vaccinated at any time, but preferably before the birth of their baby. CDPH encourages birthing hospitals to implement policies to vaccinate new mothers and fathers before sending newborns home. CDPH is providing vaccine free of charge to hospitals.

Others who may have contact with infants, including family members, healthcare workers, and childcare workers, should also be vaccinated. Individuals should contact their regular health care provider or local health department to inquire about pertussis vaccination.

A typical case of pertussis in children and adults starts with a cough and runny nose for one-to-two weeks, followed by weeks to months of rapid coughing fits that sometimes end with a whooping sound. Fever is rare.

Mika Brzezinski Admits Working with President Obama's White House on BP Oil Spill Talking Points

I am sure glad that a mainstream independent of the government is alive and well in the United States of America. Oh wait, I stand corrected. There is no independent mainstream media in this country. Case in point, Zbigniew Brzezinski's daughter Mika admits on live television that she is working with the White House on a file. What the @$%&! I'll give her credit that she disclosed this conflict, but nevertheless, she should be doing independent reporting and not working with the White House on any story.

Maywood, California Fires All City Workers and Subcontracts All Services Effective July 1, 2010

If Maywood does not have money to provide services, then what happened to all the tax money collected from its residents? This is ridiculous!

In addition to contracting with the Sheriff's Department, the Maywood City Council voted unanimously Monday night to lay off an estimated 100 employees and contract with neighboring Bell, which will handle other city services such as finance, records management, parks and recreation, street maintenance and others. Maywood will be billed about $50,833 monthly, which officials said will save $164,375 annually.

Federal Reserve Bank of New York Launches Propaganda Comic Book Called "The Story of Inflation"

Comic Inflation[1]

Why is the Federal Reserve Bank of New York suddenly in the comic book business? You can order the book from the Federal Reserve or read the document in the embedded link above.

The FRBNY has published a comic book, full of the misadventures of the infamous Darth Inflation. With such zingers as "By discouraging saving, inflation can harm the US economy. That's because the economy needs a supply of savings to provide the funds for people and business to borrow so that they can invest in the things that help the US economy grow" it is now clear that the entire FRBNY Board is comprised of lunatics, as apparently these people have not heard of ZIRP, QE, 0% interest on money markets and savings accounts, and must have Apple gizmos.

Physical Behavior of Oil in the Ocean - MMS Project No. 120 (Buoyancy Behavior, Solubility, Evaporation, Dispersion, Photo-Oxidation & Emulsification)

Evaporation of Oil Spills by Merv Fingas (MMS Project)

This link will lead you to an MMS page (Project Number 120) that has a treasure trove of information on the physical properties of oil in the ocean. You can also scroll down this page for links to the documents. I have embedded the document Evaporation of Oil Spills above as an example.

Project Number	120
Date of Summary	April 5, 2002
Subject	Physical Behavior of Oil in the Ocean
Performing Activity	Emergencies Science Division, Environment Canada
Principal Investigator	Mr. Merv F. Fingas
Contracting Agency	Minerals Management Service
Estimated Completion
Description	This is a Joint Industry Project (JIP) between MMS and Environment Canada to study oil behavior and oil properties, particularly those of heavy oils. The study includes: buoyancy behavior, solubility, evaporation, dispersion, photo-oxidation, and emulsification. Several information gaps were identified on the behavior of oils where more experimental work is needed: 1) the kinetics of oil emulsification; 2) the rate of solubilization; and 3) the rate of dispersion. Experiments will be conducted to study these processes in context with the typical environmental variables of temperature, wind speed, sea state, and oil type. This study initially focused on heavy oils similar to those in the Pacific and Canadian Outer Continental Shelf Regions, it was expanded to include other domestically produced oils and oils which are shipped in large quantities through the OCS. The physical and chemical properties of oils from a number of crude oils from deepwater Gulf of Mexico have been analyzed and have been entered in the Crude Oils and Oil Products. This new version of the oil properties catalog contains information on more than 450 different types of oils was put on the Internet. The Internet site is very successful with as many as 1,000 hits per week. Work continues on the BOSS (Behavior of Spilled OilS) project. The final version of oil-in-ice behavior is complete and has been distributed. Work is almost complete on the emulsification and solubility chapters. The Basics of Oil Spills book is complete and been printed. The book is available for purchase via the Internet. The Oil Catalog can be found at Environment Canada’s Internet website at http://www.ec.gc.ca/envhome.html.
