Iran arrests President Ahmadinejad's press adviser: report (Reuters)

TEHRAN (Reuters) ? Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's media adviser was arrested on Monday in his office by the judiciary, the semi-official Mehr news agency reported, without giving a reason for his arrest.

"A few minutes ago Ali Akbar Javanfekr was arrested after holding a news conference with local media," Mehr said.

Iranian media reported on Sunday that Javanfekr was sentenced to a year in jail and banned from journalism over a publication which was deemed to have offended public decency.

Javanfekr is also the head of Iran's state news agency IRNA.

Witnesses said "security forces fired tear gas inside the building of the state-run Iran newspaper," where Javanfekr was giving the news conference.

Iranian authorities shut down reformist Etemad newspaper on Sunday after it published a scathing attack by Javanfekr on the president's rival conservatives. The daily is banned from publishing for two months for "disseminating lies and insults to officials in the establishment."

Iran's conservatives accuse Ahmadinejad of being in the thrall of a "deviant current" of advisers seeking to undermine the authority of the clergy in the Islamic Republic's system of government.

The New Spouses? Scandal

Q. Laugh at the Ornithophobe: I am incredibly afraid of turkeys. I dislike their fleshy heads, their huge feathery bodies, the noises they make. Chickens freak me out, too. I literally startle if I accidentally see a picture of a turkey, never mind the panic that rises in me when I see one in real life. In general, all birds freak me out. I know it's a ridiculous fear, one that many wouldn't understand, but then again I love snakes and don't mind spiders. My boyfriend's family like to hide pictures of turkeys in places where I will find them and freak out. I have asked them to stop, and I have asked him to ask them to stop, but they insist it's all in good fun. Last time I went over they hid a picture of a beheaded turkey, my worst fear of all, don't ask, in my purse. I nearly threw up when I saw it and shook for several hours afterward. With Thanksgiving coming up, I am freaked out about what they might do. How can I make it clear to them that this really bothers me?

US probes cyber attack on water system

Federal investigators are looking into a report that hackers managed to remotely shut down a utility's water pump in central Illinois last week, in what could be the first known foreign cyber attack on a U.S. industrial system.

The Nov. 8 incident was described in a one-page report from the Illinois Statewide Terrorism and Intelligence Center, according to Joe Weiss, a prominent expert on protecting infrastructure from cyber attacks.

The attackers obtained access to the network of a water utility in a rural community west of the state capital Springfield with credentials stolen from a company that makes software used to control industrial systems, according to the account obtained by Weiss. It did not explain the motive of the attackers.

He said that the same group may have attacked other industrial targets or be planning strikes using credentials stolen from the same software maker.

The U.S. Department of Homeland Security and the Federal Bureau of Investigation are examining the matter, said DHS spokesman Peter Boogaard.

"At this time there is no credible corroborated data that indicates a risk to critical infrastructure entities or a threat to public safety," he said, declining to elaborate further. An FBI spokesman in Illinois did not return phone calls seeking comment.

SCADA security
Cyber security experts said that the reported attack highlights the risk that attackers can break into what is known as Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) systems. They are highly specialized computer systems that control critical infrastructure ? from water treatment facilities, chemicals plants and nuclear reactors to gas pipelines, dams and switches on train lines.

The issue of securing SCADA systems from cyber attacks made international headlines last year after the mysterious Stuxnet virus attacked a centrifuge at a uranium enrichment facility in Iran. Many experts say that was a major setback for Iran's nuclear weapon's program and attribute the attack to the United States and Israel.

In 2007, researchers at the U.S. government's Idaho National Laboratories identified a vulnerability in the electric grid, demonstrating how much damage a cyber attack could inflict on a large diesel generator.

Lani Kass, a former senior cyber policy adviser to the U.S. Joint Chiefs of Staff and the U.S. Air Force said that one day a real-life cyber attack on a U.S. SCADA system could lead to a major disaster.

"Many (SCADA systems) are old and vulnerable," said Kass. "There are no financial incentives for the utility owners to replace and secure these systems and the costs would be high."

U.S. Rep Jim Lanvevin, a Democrat from Rhode Island, said that the report of the attack highlighted the need to pass legislation to improve cyber security of the U.S. critical infrastructure.

"The stakes are too high for us to fail, and our citizens will be the ones to suffer the consequences of our inaction," he said in a statement.

Water district location
Several media reports identified the location of the attack as Springfield. City officials said that was inaccurate.

Don Craven, a lawyer and a trustee for the Curran-Gardner Township Public Water District, said late on Friday that the small water utility was aware that "something happened" but that he did not have much information on the matter.

"We are aware there may have been a successful or unsuccessful attempt to hack into the system," Craven said by telephone from his Springfield, Illinois, office.

"It came through a software system that's used to remotely access the pumps," he said. "A pump is burned out."

The district serves some 2,200 customers in a rural district West of Springfield. He said there was no interruption in service as the utility operates multiple pumps and wells. Its water comes from an aquifer underneath the Sangamon River.

Craven said he did not know what software at the utility was involved but said he was confident that no customer records were compromised.

Craven said he was mystified as to the reason hackers might have targeted the tiny district.

"Maybe it's the quality of our water, which is better than Springfield's," Craven joked.

The general manager of the utility has not returned messages.

Other attacks?
Quoting from the one-page report, Weiss said it was not yet clear whether other networks had been hacked as a result of the breach at the U.S. software maker.

He said the manufacturer of that software keeps login credentials to the networks of its customers so that its staff can help them support those systems.

"An information technology services and computer repair company checked the computer logs of the system and determined the computer had been hacked into from a computer located in Russia," Weiss quoting from the report in a telephone interview with Reuters.

Workers at the targeted utility in central Illinois on Nov. 8 noticed problems with SCADA systems which manages the water supply system, and discovered that a water pump had been damaged, said Weiss, managing partner of Applied Control Solutions in Cupertino, California.

Nokia's latest EDoF camera demonstrates improvement with macro shots

Nokia's second generation Extended Depth of Field (EDoF) camera was recently put through the wringer by the folks at All About Symbian, and for a technology that traditionally fails at macro shots, we're happy to see that the engineers in Espoo have made dramatic advances with this second go-around. Using the same lens and sensor as before, we're told the improvements come from a refined image processor alone. In a side-by-side comparison, this business was card snapped from 12-inches (30cm) away, first with a C7 and then a 701. While the new setup isn't perfect, the difference is certainly appreciable. Of course, Nokia has all but ditched EDoF in its high end smartphones -- as evidenced by our reviews of the N9 and Lumia 800 -- but the technology remains very much alive within its lower-end affairs, and really, who doesn't like to see improvement? For a complete breakdown of the new technology, be sure to hit up the source link below.

ATP World Tour Finals 2011: indoor game at London's O2 Arena suits Andy Murray just fine

This is the third year of five in London's hosting agreement for the World Tour Finals, which were previously held in Shanghai between 2005 and 2008, but have moved around like a military family since their inception in 1970.

The only time they settled down for long was in the 1980s, at Madison Square Gardens in New York.

Could the O2 Arena become the modern equivalent, and secure another five-year deal up to 2018 when discussions begin next summer? They do seem to have found a natural home on the banks of the Thames, in Richard Rogers's giant marquee.

When Tony Blair launched the Millennium Dome, a misconceived jumble of half-baked ideas, his ambition of showcasing British culture fell horribly flat.

But the building itself has proved to be a triumph, and through events like this one, the Arena has contributed more to national culture than the original project ever did.

"This is the most democratic tennis tournament in the UK," said the tournament's managing director Chris Kermode last week. "The three-set structure is family friendly and the hard-court style of play is very dynamic and physical. It's a great way of speaking to a new group of fans."

British tennis spends so much time preaching to the converted that it is terrific to see an event like this catching light. Perhaps one of those wide-eyed kids in the stands ? the same kids who paid just ?10 for their tickets ? will end up playing here one day.

Blue Origin spruces up its rocket report

Blue Origin's prototype rocket ship rises from its pad for a "short hop" flight test in May. Click on the image for the videos from Blue Origin's website.

By Alan Boyle

Blue Origin, the secretive rocket venture founded by Amazon.com billionaire Jeff Bezos, has unveiled a spruced-up website that includes videos of its?successful "short hop" flight test back in May.

However, there's no new information about the crash of its PM-2 prototype in?August, which came at the end of an ambitious supersonic tryout.?Bezos acknowledged the crash a week after it happened in an online update, and said?his team was already working on a new?prototype.?In Thursday's update, he made no mention of August's setback or the?state of the?development effort.

"We?ve received requests for video of the short hop test flight that took place earlier this year. Here are two videos of the flight," Bezos wrote. "Enjoy!"


Blue Origin

A diagram shows the configuration for a prototype New Shepard suborbital space vehicle.

The two videos show the PM-2 rising from the launch pad at Bezos' spaceport in West Texas, then easing back down to earth with engines blazing and dust flying. One video provides a fisheye view from near the launch pad, and the other video was taken with a handheld camera from a remote location.

Thursday's update is part of a redesigned website that lays out Blue Origin's spaceflight plans and highlights the venture's employment opportunities (including 14 "immediate openings" and a summer internship program).

Blue Origin

This diagram shows the design for Blue Origin's booster system, with an orbital space capsule sitting on top of the stack at left.

Blue Origin intends to field?a suborbital space vehicle known as New Shepard, which could take on tourists?as well as?researchers and their experiments. It's also working on an orbital space capsule capable of taking astronauts to the International Space Station. For orbital missions,?Blue Origin has said it intends to use expendable Atlas 5 rockets at first but will eventually?switch to?its own reusable first-stage?booster and upper stage.

The upgraded website provides more details about the suborbital as well as the orbital effort, including?diagrams of the?space vehicles?and the "Cabin Payload Bays" that will hold experiments.

"The technical challenges of escaping Earth?s gravity well and reaching orbit have never been trivial, and are compounded when higher reliability and lower cost are required," Blue Origin says.?"We are working patiently, step by step, to reach these long-term goals."

Over the past couple of years, NASA has set aside $25.7 million to support work on?Blue Origin's?orbital vehicle. Three other companies ? the Boeing Co., Sierra Nevada Corp. and SpaceX ? are currently receiving higher levels of support for similar spaceship development efforts. All four companies say they can have their orbital spaceships ready for NASA's use by around the middle of the decade, assuming that they continue to receive development?funding from the space agency.

Deadline looms in $750 million rice settlement (AP)

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. ? Rice growers who lost sales after genetically modified rice seed mistakenly entered the U.S. market five years ago have until Monday to sign on to a $750 million settlement proposed by the company blamed for the problem.

More than 10,000 farmers in Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri and Texas sued the German conglomerate Bayer CropScience after the modified strain of long-grain rice got loose in 2006. The mistake led to lost sales in major markets, such as the European Union, and left many growers with huge losses.

Matthew Davis, a rice grower from Almyra, Ark., is among farmers hoping to settle. He recalled hearing the news that the crop was contaminated and then watching prices plunge.

"Everybody was in shock ... but you get used to bad news when you farm," Davis said. "It sure messed us up in 2006."

Bayer proposed the settlement but set a threshold of 85 percent of rice acreage involved. Bayer can opt out of the deal if not enough farmers sign up for the settlement, but the company doesn't have to.

"Bayer CropScience is hopeful that the 85 percent of acreage threshold of grower participation will be met," Bayer spokesman Greg Coffey said in a written statement.

Farmers filed the lawsuits after a strain of genetically modified rice was mistakenly released from a Louisiana test plot and made its way into the stream of commercially marketed rice.

The proposed settlement applies to long-grain rice, often used in pilaf or mixed with beans. Farmers who grow medium-grain rice, often used in sushi, or short-grain rice, found in cereal, weren't affected.

The long-grain rice variety wasn't approved for human consumption at the time, but no health problems became associated with the rice and the trait has remained in the food supply.

It will take about a month for claims adjustors to review filings by farmers to ensure they are valid. Once that process is complete, farmers will start receiving checks, assuming enough chose to participate.

The settlement would pay $155,000 to a farmer who planted 500 acres of rice annually from 2006 to 2010, a rate of $310 per acre. Farmers can collect more if they switched to crops that typically offer lower profits, such as wheat or soybeans.

In Arkansas, which produces half the nation's rice, Davis said he knows some farmers who quit because they couldn't endure the financial toll.

After the mistaken release, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration ruled that the genetically modified rice is safe to eat, but that didn't bring back the European market.

"I don't think we're ever going to be made whole, but you get what you can," said farmer Jonathan Hillman of Stuttgart, Ark.

Hillman said the effect was immediate when word came out in 2006 about the genetically modified rice.

"We didn't do anything wrong. Bayer lets this happen and it affects us more than it does Bayer," Hillman said.

Bayer was accused of knowing there was contamination, but the company has not admitted fault and stated when announcing the settlement that "Bayer CropScience believes it acted responsibly in the handling of its biotech rice."

The settlement is open to affected growers even if they haven't filed lawsuits.

Arkansas is first in rice production, followed by California and then Louisiana.

Attorney Don Downing of St. Louis represents a number of growers in the settlement. He said he doesn't expect a rush of farmers to suddenly decide Monday that they want to sign up.

"The vast majority of farmers made that decision a long time ago," Downing said, though he added that there have been a few stragglers.

Separately, Bayer and a group of farmers from Lonoke, Ark., are awaiting a ruling by the Arkansas Supreme Court on whether a $50 million verdict against Bayer will stand.

A jury awarded the farmers $5.9 million in actual damages and $42 million in punitive damages, an award Bayer argues is excessive.

Downing said he's optimistic the 85 percent level will be met and doesn't think the outcome of the Lonoke case is weighing on their decisions.

"I've talked to hundreds of farmers ... and not one indicated that was a factor for them," Downing said.

Attorney Richard Coffman of Beaumont, Texas, expressed a similar sentiment and said farmers want to resolve the matter by agreeing to the settlement with Bayer.

"For my 600 farmers, we're not watching the Arkansas case. We're filing claims," he said. "They decided it's time to settle rather than risk what can happen down at the courthouse."

Lawyers have held meetings in cities across rice growing areas, letting farmers know what their options are.

Bayer's proposal is based on jury awards already made in lawsuits that weren't part of the settlement.

The Monday deadline affects the majority of farmers who grow long-grain rice. Two categories have later deadlines: farmers who planted certain varieties and farmers who feel they have greater damages than average and have to file greater documentation.

Fossilized skin shows predator's sharklike moves

More than 80 million years ago, a giant reptile called a mosasaur likely glided gracefully through the water with the help of tiny scales covering its tough skin, and a powerful tail to boot, suggests the soft-tissue remains of one such aquatic beast.

The fossilized pieces of mosasaur skin, discovered in Kansas in the 1950s but not analyzed thoroughly until now, give researchers a view of ancient lizard skin, inside and out. The marine animal's skin was pulled taut around the upper end of its body, which would have restricted its swimming motion to the lower half, they found.

"We previously had thought that they swam like snakes, that they used most of their body to make these undulating waves," study researcher Johan Lindgren, of Lund University in Sweden, told LiveScience "What we see is they are gradually pushing the part being used in swimming to the back." [ T-Rex of the Seas: A Mosasaur Gallery ]

Moving mosasaurs
Mosasaurs include a group of swimming reptiles thought to have evolved from an ancient relative of the monitor lizard, which left the land and returned to the sea during the early Cretaceous Period. Then more than 90 million years ago, mosasaurs quickly evolved to life in the water and soon became a top predator throughout the world's seas. They died out with the dinosaurs about 65 million years ago.

In the fossilized skin samples, the researchers can see not only the animal's scales, but also imprints of the protein fibers that made up its skin. They saw that these fibers often crisscrossed, suggesting that at least this front half of the mosasaur's body was stiff.

Rather than slithering through the water like today's water snakes, by moving their vertebrae from side to side, this tough, taut skin indicates that the mosasaur used its tail to propel itself forward. As such, the animal would've moved more like modern sharks and whales than snakes.

"They [the mosasaurs] have, for 200 years, been reconstructed as these serpentine creatures," Lindgren said. "An emergence of evidence, including the stuff we found, indicates that they underwent the same kind of evolution as whales, and they became streamlined."

Fossilized skin
As a group, the mosasaurs varied from a little over 3 feet to almost 50 feet long. The fossilized skin and skeleton unearthed in Kansas in 1953 belonged to a mosasaur ? Ectenosaurus clidastoindes ? stretching some 16 feet in length, though only the front half of its body was discovered. It is a relatively primitive specimen and is estimated to be about 85 million years old.

The fossils suggest the mosasaur's scales were less than a tenth of an inch long (only a few millimeters). These scales were oval-shaped and had a ridge along the middle to help them lock together, channel water, and also to provide an area for the skin to attach underneath.

"You could see the scales from both the outside and the inside. That's a first. On the inside they have special supportive structures that ? anchor to the soft tissue, and they provide a more efficient cover," Lindgren said. "The scales have a ridge on each scale that helps channel the water and provides a thin layer, you see the same thing in sharks today."

The study was published Nov. 16 in the journal PLoS ONE.

(AP) ? The handshake between Tiger Woods and ex-caddie Steve Williams was routine. The loss by Woods and Steve Stricker turned out to be the real drama in the Presidents Cup.

Adam Scott and K.J. Choi were relentless Thursday at Royal Melbourne in dishing out the worst loss for Woods in any format of match play. The International tandem won 7 and 6, tying the record for biggest margin of victory in Presidents Cup history.

Woods and Stricker, undefeated two years ago, turned out to be the only weak link for the Americans.

They won three matches handily, and rallied to halve two other matches to build a 4-2 lead after the opening session.

Woods and Stricker, winners of their first six matches together, now have lost their last two ? 6 and 5 last year in the Ryder Cup to Lee Westwood and Luke Donald, and 7 and 6 to Scott and Choi. What looked particularly bad about this one is the American tandem didn't win a hole and was the only team that failed to make a single birdie.

The only other match that went 12 holes since the Presidents Cup began in 1994 was when David Frost beat Kenny Perry by the same score in singles in 1996.

"Unfortunately, they got off to a quick start and we just couldn't keep up," Woods said. "We kept falling to the wrong side of these slopes. The golf course is so difficult, it's hard to make up shots."

Two of the six matches went the distance. Geoff Ogilvy and Masters champion Charl Schwartzel lost a late 2-up lead and had to settle for a halve against Bill Haas and Nick Watney. Dustin Johnson and Matt Kuchar rallied from 3 down with six holes to play and won the last two holes with pars to earn an unlikely halve.

"It did not look like 4-2 about an hour and a half ago," U.S. captain Fred Couples said. "We'll take that any day."

It was the third straight time in the Presidents Cup that the Americans won the opening session. They are 6-1-1 in this competition, the only loss coming 13 years ago at Royal Melbourne.

The Americans won the other three matches in a rout, led by the opening match of Bubba Watson and Webb Simpson. They were 7 under through 16 holes in a 4-and-2 win over Ernie Els and Ryo Ishikawa.

Phil Mickelson and Jim Furyk, together for the first time since Brookline in the 1999 Ryder Cup, won 4 and 3 over Retief Goosen and Robert Allenby. Hunter Mahan and David Toms drilled the Korean duo of Y.E. Yang and K.T. Kim, 6 and 5.

"The only hole that they won, we three-putted," Toms said. "So for the most part, we kept the pressure on, hitting fairways, hitting greens, made a few putts. Just a good day overall."

Woods and Williams exchanged a firm, businesslike handshake on the opening hole and otherwise kept their distance. That was about all the drama in what might be the final chapter of this bitter split between player and caddie.

Williams now works for Scott, and just like so many other team competitions, he had the best horse. Scott was crisp off the tee and into the firm greens. He rolled in a 25-foot birdie putt to win the 11th hole, then hit an approach into 8 feet as Choi made the birdie to close out the match.

Scott and Choi never came close to a bogey and were 4 under through 12 holes. Woods and Stricker were 3 over.

"It seemed like we were just a little bit off," Stricker said after his first competition since Sept. 25 at the Tour Championship. "It seemed like I put him in the rough by a foot or so. If you're in the rough here, trying to hit to some of these greens is pretty difficult."

Scott called it a "very pleasing victory," more to do with being home in Australia than anything to do with his caddie.

"A good win, because they were a tough team last time, took a lot of points off us," Scott said. "So it was pleasing to get one up there."

Williams first showed the animosity in the split when he said after Scott won the Bridgestone Invitational that it was the "best win of my life." Then came that night in Shanghai two weeks ago at a caddies' award party, when Williams made a racial comment about Woods while getting roasted for that TV interview at the Bridgestone.

The handshake on the first tee was symbolic ? it was strictly business out there.

Williams was on the second tee when Choi was hitting in alternate shot. Not long after Woods arrived to watch his partner, Williams walked up the fairway to join Scott about 40 yards away.

The final handshake also was brief, and it happened much sooner than anyone might have expected. It was the first time in any match Woods has played that he failed to play the 14th hole.

For the longest time, it looked as though the day would end in a tie. International captain Greg Norman did not lose hope.

"We had the ability to go out there and win more points than we did," Norman said. "Day one is day one. It's a four-day event."
