What to do in case of TSUNAMIS.

1. a strong earthquake is a natural tsunami warning. Do not stay in low-lying and seashore areas after an earthquake. A tsunami might occur within minutes.
2. Other natural signs include sudden lowering of the sea level or an unusual rise and fall of the sea level.
Fish and other other marine life may be exposed when the sea retreats: Never go down to the beach to collect these. Tsunami waves might rush back anytime and carry you out to sea with great force.
3. Tsunamis are also preceded and/or accompanied by unusual sounds. Be alert for these signs, too.
4. Immediately vacate and seek higher ground. Stay there until all signs of danger have passed.

Vote Marcos Antonio Torres for Beijing Olympic 2008 Torch Bearer

Vote for Marcos Antonio Torres As 2008 Olympics Torch Bearer. See the Vote Rankings.

Marcos Antonio says:

Hope you can help me be the first Filipino torch bearer for the first time since the 1964 Tokyo Olympics. It is said that the first and only time a Filipino held the torch was during the 1964 Tokyo Olympics 44 years ago. If he doesn¡¯t carry it now, we may not have a Filipino in the next 50 years as it may take awhile again before the Olympics are held in Asia. Winning an Olympic gold has been elusive for the Philippines. This is an opportunity to unify all Filipinos towards a single golden Olympic cause.

Should I get chosen, I will take it as an opportunity to promote China to the Philippines and vice versa. There is truly more to China than the Great Wall, it is after all one of the earliest civilizations, and China has a lot of unique and interesting things to share the world. This is probably why despite over a year of exploring, you just can¡¯t get enough of China.


I have been living in Beijing for over a year now. I moved here to be in the most exciting place one can be....Beijing is where it¡¯s all happening. While many cities took decades and centuries to build (Rome was definitely not built in a day), modern Beijing is being created within a year. From a flat landscape of the most beautiful imperial temples and palaces, you see fantastic creative buildings rising. Beijing must have the record for most landmarks, the Great Wall, the Forbidden City and now you have the Bird's Nest (Olympic Stadium), the water cube (Aquatic Stadium), the Giant Egg (Grand Opera House) and the Z (CCTV Tower). All iconic structures which symbolize Beijing. Such strong identifiable symbols that you know it cannot be mistaken for any other place when you see them.

I love Beijing and I love the Olympics. Proof of this is that I declined an opportunity to move to Shanghai if only for the Olympics. I also know now that my destiny of being in the Olympics will be fulfilled.

Air Force to get ‘cyber sidearms’

According to Sebastian Sprenger of fcm.com, the Air Force will soon give service members working on networks a new tool to help detect cyberattacks, service officials said.

The “cyber sidearm” is intended to be a simple way for service members to quickly alert others to potential security breaches, said Lt. Gen. Robert Elder, commander of the 8th Air Force.

The tool could be a small piece of software installed on Air Force computers or it could be a simple mechanism for taking a screenshot and relaying it to security experts, said Maj. Gen. William Lord, who will soon take command of the Air Force’s provisional Cyber Command.

In an interview this week, Lord said service officials have not made a final decision about which technology they will use for the program.

Elder said service leaders will stage fake threats to practice using the cyber sidearm. Service members will receive points when they use the tool appropriately and lose points when they fail to act on a simulated threat, he said during a panel discussion in Washington last week sponsored by the Air Force Association.

The cyber sidearm program is part of a broader effort to defend Air Force networks against intruders. Service officials have also begun auditing crucial software to identify security risks, Elder said.

How the U.S. Became Switchboard to the World

A lucky coincidence of economics is responsible for routing much of the world's internet and telephone traffic through switching points in the United States, where, under legislation introduced this week, the U.S. National Security Agency will be free to continue tapping it. ...International phone and internet traffic flows through the United States largely because of pricing models established more than 100 years ago... The United States, where the internet was invented, was also home to the first internet backbone. Combine that architectural advantage with the pricing disparity inherited from the phone networks, and the United States quickly became the center of cyberspace as the internet gained international penetration in the 1990s.

Google launches video ad program using YouTube

Google on Tuesday set out to profit from its $1.65-billion purchase of YouTube by letting websites use advertising-laced videos and then share in the revenues.

Google's "video units" program enables publishers to embed YouTube videos on their websites using a customized player and then make money from overlay text ads that fade in and out as videos play.

The move is Google's initial foray into squeezing money from YouTube, which it bought last year in a stock deal, and marks the first time the US Internet titan is serving up content along with ads.

"Nowadays, website publishers realize that getting people to visit your website is only half of the equation," Google product marketing manager Christine Lee wrote in a posting at the company's website.

"Growing your audience is important, but keeping your audience engaged and staying on your site longer is just as important, if not more so."

Ads are matched to video content and revenues are shared with website publishers as well as Google partners that provide video content, according to Lee.

Google said partners providing video content include TV Guide Broadband, Expert Village, Mondo Media, lonelygirl15, Extreme Elements, and Ford Models.

Video units are available in the US for English language websites but the program will be expanded in coming months, according to Google.
