Symmetry Theory in Molecular Physics with Mathematica: A new kind of tutorial book
Symmetry Theory in Molecular Physics with Mathematica: A new kind of tutorial book
Springer | 2009 | ISBN: 0387734694 | 689 pages | PDF | 10,8 MB
The main part of the book follows a strictly logical development that should be acceptable to the most rigorous minded people, while maintaining an engaging style in the spirit of Numerical Recipes by , Flannery, Teukolsky, and Vetterling. The essence of this style is to be just a little opinionated about good and bad ways to calculate things, but to give such advice without provoking offense, and always on an objective basis.

The Federal Trade Commission’s Identity Theft Protection Initiative: Things That Make You Go Hmmm!
By Denise Richardson
The FTC’s Identity Theft Protection Initiative: Things That Make You Go Hmmm!
Last week the FTC held a joint press conference with 35 State Attorneys General, commanding attention on their firm and unified stance on regulating the identity theft industry.
Sounded good. But just like all too often, the substance and the intent differed from the reality.
Was it more smoke and mirrors?
You decide.
The FTC press conference has resulted not only in a colossal media frenzy but in mass confusion over what services are and what are not deemed to be helpful to consumers. Who is really working toward helping us avoid identity theft and who is helping the thieves perpetuate it? I’d like to respond to some of the high (or low) points of the press conference here.
Let’s just get one thing clear before we get going. LifeLock has paid me to speak at their free identity theft seminars as one of their many Certified Identity Theft Risk Management Specialists and has sponsored my efforts to educate the public about identity theft. So to be clear: I get paid to talk about identity theft -I do not get paid to promote LifeLock.
Point #1
Data Security
The FTC says, “The company’s data system was actually vulnerable enough that it could have been hacked,” and went on to say, “The company must also establish a security program which will be monitored by a third party for 20 years.”
Now that is most definitely a loaded statement, one that can and should be said about any company or government agency out there. In fact, the government as managed to breach millions of people’s data over the years and continues to do so.
In 2007, LifeLock became ISO 270001 certified, the highest rating there is for secure data management. How many other entities that store our data can say that? What about all the government agencies who have been responsible for data compromises and theft? We can only hope that the government will hold itself to the same standards the FTC requires of others. For instance, it turns out that during the same time frame in which the FTC is calling out LifeLock, various government agencies were having their own embarrassingly public problems with data security. According to Consumer Affairs, even two years after the theft of a laptop containing the personal data of 26.5 million veterans, Federal agencies were still “not fulfilling all of the mandates for protection of personal information.”
And who filed that report?
The Government Accountability Office. Talk about things that make you go hmmm.
The GAO was commissioned to investigate 24 federal agencies to determine if they had implemented data security recommendations from the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), including encrypting data on mobile devices such as laptop computers, developing policies for notifying individuals affected by data breaches, using multiple means to authenticate an individual's right to access information, and fulfilling directives on a “checklist” developed by the National Institute for Standards and Technology (NIST) for dealing with theft or loss of equipment containing sensitive data.
Of the 24 agencies, only two—the Treasury Department and the Department of Transportation—met all of OMB’s requirements for protecting data. Twenty-two of the agencies had enacted policies for encrypting information on mobile devices, but only four had implemented use of the NIST data security checklist.
The Associated Press reported that two agencies—the Small Business Administration and the National Science Foundation—had not met any of the requirements. Things that make you go Hmmm.
Point #2
Deceptive advertising
The FTC investigated LifeLock’s marketing, advertising and products for the period between March 2005 and April 2008, policies that LifeLock has long since changed. LifeLock’s services now include sophisticated technology that detects use of our personal information before damage is done. When they first ventured into a non-regulated industry to advertise their product at a time when nobody else was taking identity theft all that seriously, nobody understood there would be later confusion over the difference between the words prevent and protect.
Here’s a perfect example offered by Dr. Will Marling, Director of the National Organization of Victims Advocates (NOVA):
“As a matter of reason, I fail to see how one can accuse someone of saying [in deception] he will prevent something when his guarantee is to remedy to those who need it when it won't be prevented. Analogy: ‘I want to prevent you from falling out of the tree but will pay for your medical bills if you do.’ The word 'prevent' can create confusion. It isn't in the vocabulary anymore.”
It’s disappointing that the FTC and those 35 Attorneys General haven't utilized their strong and united front to come down on predatory practices surrounding the mortgage servicing industry—or even the advertising practices of the millions of free credit report ads and deceptive mortgage servicing practices that include illegal foreclosures, loan modification run-arounds and lest we forget, those annoying singing pirates touting free credit reports –that aren’t.
And while we’re on the subject, why is Experian allowed to advertise their for-profit products on annualcredireport.com (the legit site)? The ads have been a source of confusion to the public, yet they have not been pulled. No other ID theft protection product or service is allowed to advertise on that site. Why are they? Again, things that make you go hmmm.
Point #3
The problem is identity theft. Can’t we all just get along?

The Essential Things To Know About Rubber Horse Mats
Horses are remarkable animals and can be great friends. If you own any, then you would be aware that horses spend the most part of their time standing on their feet. Well if what is underneath your horse's feet is concrete, it can eventually put too much pressure on them, causing pain in your horse's legs and joints. Putting a rubber horse mat in its stall can help relieve most of the pain and the stress, therefore facilitate relaxation.

Quote Of The Day, Pres. Rooselvelt Slams SCOTUS Edition: You Have The Spine Of A Banana Peel
First, there was Samuel Alito mouthing "Not true" at the State of the Union after President Barack Obama was more than clear about his displeasure of the Supreme Court's Citizen United ruling.
And then this week Chief Justice John Roberts traveled to the University of Alabama to tell the students there that Obama making those remarks at the State of the Union while the justices had to sit there "expressionless" was "very troubling."
It's an odd back and forth, and one you do not usually see between the normally private and staid justices and the office of the President. Or so most of us thought.
When Jake Tapper, hosting ABC's This Week, asked Obama advisor David Axelrod about the propriety of Obama's State of the Union remarks, Axelrod told of the seriously tough criticism President Theodore Roosevelt doled out to Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes. Axelrod could not help himself from noting that John Roberts, "a student of history," might be interested in the story.
Axelrod on This Week: You know, if [Roberts] looks back 100 years, Theodore Roosevelt said of Oliver Wendell Holmes after he made a decision on an antitrust case that he didn't believe in, that Roosevelt thought was a bad decision, he said, I could carve out of a banana a judge with a stronger spine than him. So things have been said about justices by presidents in the past that were far more personal than anything the president said here.

“No Excuses” For European Startups And More Videos And Photos From Plugg 2010
Last Thursday saw the third edition of Plugg, a conference I started in my home country Belgium back in 2008 that essentially aims to launch and inspire European tech entrepreneurs and advance the startup ecosystem in these parts. The event is closely tied to TechCrunch, with myself as lead organizer and TechCrunch Europe editor Mike Butcher running things on stage.
We invited a host of speakers from all corners of Europe to deliver inspiring keynotes about a wide range of topics, and as every year had 20 (well actually, 19) startups vying for the top prize in an exhilarating pitching competition. All these startups were carefully selected and are some of Europe's most promising early-stage ventures, so I invite you to take a look at the full list of finalists in our previous post.
In the end, Estonia's Fits.me won the main award of the show, with RazWar snatching the audience choice prize and Distimo and Inbox2 as runners-up.
If you didn't attend the event but are interested in finding out what went on on stage, we've got you covered: the whole thing was captured on video and in pictures, and we also embedded a handy Nomadesk widget on the Plugg website where you can access a virtual folder carrying all the presentations.
Here's a selection of videos I think will interest TechCrunch readers most (but please check out all of them):
