Cyberattacks against U.S. corporations on the rise	13.5.2013	Salt Lake Tribune
by David E. Sanger and Nicole Perlroth New York Times Published May 12, 2013 08:11PM MDT Washington • A new wave of cyberattacks is striking American corporations, prompting warnings from federal officials, including a vague one issued last week by the Department of Homeland Security. This time, officials say, the attackers’ aim is not espionage but sabotage, and the source seems to be somewhere in the Middle East. The targets have primarily been energy companies, and the attacks appeared to be probes, looking for ways to seize control of their processing systems. The attacks are co... ...

Microbubbles	25.4.2013	Global Health and Wellness News - ENN
Microbubbles are bubbles generally smaller than one millimeter in diameter, but larger than one micrometer. They are often used in medical diagnostics as a contrast agent for ultrasound imaging. The microbubbles oscillate and vibrate when a sonic energy field is applied and may reflect ultrasound waves. This distinguishes the microbubbles from surrounding tissues. Microbubbles may also decrease the time and acoustic power of ultrasound required to heat and destroy an embedded target, finds research in BioMed Central's open access journal Journal of Therapeutic Ultrasound. If these results can be replicated in the clinic, microbubbles could improve the efficiency of high intensity ultrasound treatment of solid tumors.

Artisan coffee comes to North Korea	23.4.2013	MinnPost
Curious coffee lovers now have a reason to visit North Korea. Pyongyang is home to a hip new coffeeshop serving "third wave" coffee -- a buzzword that marks a recent generation of specialty and artisanal brews. So reports Choson Exchange, a Beijing -based group that arranges internships and academic exchanges for promising young North Koreans. The organization's head, Andray Abrahamian, recently stumbled on the café while visiting the capital. The shop is unnamed, but it's attached to a large restaurant and apparently offers a nice view of the Taedong River. Choson gives it an honest review. The pour-over we had was unfortunately a bit off. The grind was too coarse and the beans slightly out of date by the standards of third wave cafes elsewhere. The espresso, however, was excellent, bursting with caramely and nutty flavors. The cappucino [sic] was good, also. Why a coffeeshop? Unlike parts of the power-starved countryside, Pyongyang is home to an affluent class of politically ...
Our Dangerous Mix of Climate Change and Resource Scarcity	23.4.2013	Mother Jones
This story first appeared on the TomDispatch website. Brace yourself. You may not be able to tell yet, but according to global experts and the US intelligence community, the earth is already shifting under you. Whether you know it or not, you're on a new planet, a resource-shock world of a sort humanity has never before experienced. Two nightmare scenarios—a global scarcity of vital resources and the onset of extreme climate change—are already beginning to converge and in the coming decades are likely to produce a tidal wave of unrest, rebellion, competition, and conflict. Just what this tsunami of disaster will look like may, as yet, be hard to discern, but experts warn of "water wars" over contested river systems, global food riots sparked by soaring prices for life's basics, mass migrations of climate refugees (with resulting anti-migrant violence), and the breakdown of social order or the collapse of states. At first, such mayhem is likely to arise largely in Africa, Central ...

Superstorm Sandy "Earthquake"	20.4.2013	Green Technology and Environmental Science News - ENN
Earthquakes shake the land obviously. So do explosions and similar events. How about a hurricane? When superstorm Sandy turned and took aim at New York City and Long Island last October, ocean waves hitting each other and the shore rattled the seafloor and much of the United States – shaking detected by seismometers across the country, University of Utah researchers found.
