Sweden Probing Cisco, NASA Hacks
Swedish investigators are probing a hacker U.S. authorities accuse of unlawfully intruding into Cisco Systems, NASA’s Ames Research Center and NASA’s Advanced Supercomputing Division, the authorities said Monday. Philip Gabriel Pettersson, known in the hacking world as “ Stakkato ,” allegedly seized computer code that controls internet traffic. After the 2004 breach of Cisco, the proprietary source code for Cisco’s IOS operating system was discovered on a Russian website. Pettersson was indicted in the United States in May on five hacking counts , (.pdf) but could not be brought from Sweden to the United States for trial. Sweden does not extradite its own citizens, but said it was examining whether to prosecute him in Sweden after U.S. authorities in San Francisco initiated…

NASA Boeing 747SP Flying Observator...Video courtesy NASA This 107 second video clip shows nasa's flying observatory as it resumes test flights including the first in-flight opening of the telescope cavity door. The Next Generation Airborne Observatory Astronomical objects emit many forms of energy, which neither the human eye nor ordinary telescopes can detect. Infrared is one form of this invisible energy. SOFIA is an airborne observatory that will study the universe in the infrared spectrum. Besides this contribution to science progress, SOFIA will be a major factor in the development of observational techniques, of new instrumentations and in the education of young scientists and teachers in the discipline of infrared astronomy. NASA and the DLR, German Aerospace Center, are working together to create SOFIA — a Boeing 747SP aircraft modified by L-3 Communications Integrated Systems to accommodate a 2.5 meter reflecting telescope. SOFIA will be the largest airborne observatory in the world, and will make observations that are impossible for even the largest and highest of ground-based telescopes. SOFIA is an 80%/20% partnership with the German Space Agency (DLR). The Observatory is being developed for NASA and DLR by a team of international government and industry experts led by Dryden Flight Research Center; the Program is divided into two main "Projects": the Platform Project (the aircraft and its subsystems), managed by DFRC, and the Science Project, managed by ARC. SOFIA will be based at nasa's Dryden <b>...</b>

LCROSS Science Briefing November 13...NASA news conference about early science results from its successful moon impacting mission, the Lunar Crater Observation and Sensing Satellite, or LCROSS. The satellite gained worldwide attention when it plunged into a crater near the moon's south pole on Oct. 9. The briefing was held on November 13th 2009 at nasa's Ames Research Center in Moffett Field, California. The panelists are: - Doug Cooke, associate administrator, Exploration Systems Mission Directorate at NASA Headquarters in Washington - Michael Wargo, chief lunar scientist for Exploration Systems at NASA Headquarters - Anthony Colaprete, LCROSS project scientist and principal investigator from Ames - Greg Delory, senior fellow, Space Sciences Laboratory and Center for Integrative Planetary Sciences at the University of California, Berkeley

Internet-Enabled Cat Feeder ...powe...A homemade Internet-Enabled Cat Feeder.... powered by a Cisco switch. Bringing a whole new meaning to the term 'catos'! ;-) Visit www.newtonnet.co.uk for further info, photos and in-depth design details. Overview of design/operation: User Interface - A web frontend (sitting on a Linux server running Apache) provides full feeding control from anywhere in the world, along with live video streaming and access to all previous automatically-recorded events (ie any motion detected such as food delivery, the cats eating/drinking etc). A 'lite' version of the interface optimised for mobile/PDA access is also available. Network Interface/Control - A script on the server automatically logs in to a Cisco switch in the kitchen and delivers commands to open/close particular switchports. The switch has been modified such that its port status leds also drive the relays on an external motor control board. Power to the board and motor also comes from the switch. Food Delivery - This is based upon a cereal dispenser driven by a low-revs/high-torque motor. A rubber 'flapper' mechanism delivers consistently-sized portions of food through a metal splitter into two separate bowls. When stationary, the flapper seals the delivery tube in order to maintain food freshness. The tube can be easily extended to accommodate more food. Operation - The feeder can be controlled interactively via the web interface(s), fully autonomously using cron scheduling, or manually at the lowest level using CLI <b>...</b>

Space experiment has a sting in the tail for newts - space -
[General Sciences]Spending time in zero gravity could hinder human growth - if we are anything like newts, that is. Eduardo Almeida of NASA's Ames Research Center in Mountain View, California, and his team cut the tails off 16 newts before sending them into space. While the tails did regrow, as they do on Earth, they were less than half as long as normal.
