Israel hopes that Ukraine won't recognize Palestine as a state at the session of the General Assembly of the United Nations in September.

Israel's Ambassador to Ukraine Zina Kalay-Kleitman said this in an interview with the Den newspaper.

"We do hope, taking into consideration our good bilateral relations, that Ukraine which has had a very balanced stance on the matter lately will further continue to keep to this balanced approach and won't support the one-sided action of the United Nations," she said.

She noted that the initiative concerning possible recognition of the State of Palestine would have a destructive influence on the peace process in the Palestine - Israel relations.

Even Former Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld gets the pat-down from TSA. So do babies and grannies and that is part of the reason that the government agency is ready to try a new approach.

Gossip website TMZ published photos of the former Defense Secretary smiling as TSA agents at O'Hare International Airport in Chicago patted him down during normal security precaution on Wednesday.

The frisking of someone as recognizable as Rumsfeld prove that the system does not discriminate, even in favor of the very famous.

Rumsfeld tweeted about it - "It takes those of us with two titanium hips and a titanium shoulder a bit longer to get through TSA," he wrote.

But the agency that has come under criticism for patting down the elderly and infants, and now says it is ready to try a new approach for some passengers.

Today the Transportation Security Administration announced a pilot program which it says will move towards "risk-based, intelligence driven" security screening. TSA Spokesman Greg Soule told ABC News, that this pilot is an effort to "focus more on passengers we know less about, and not focus our resources as much on passengers who are less of a risk. However, there will continue to be an element of randomness and unpredictability."

Arab League Raps Pro-Israel Britain

The Arab League has strongly condemned the British government for arresting Sheikh Raed Salah, calling for his immediate and unconditional release, a statement said.

The league said in its statement that news of Sheikh Salah's arrest was received "with considerable shock and surprise", calling for him to be treated in a manner befitting an internationally-renowned man of faith.

Sheikh Raed Salah, head of the northern branch of the Islamic Movement in the Occupied Palestinian Territories, was arrested by British authorities in London, irrespective of the fact that there were no legal or legitimate reasons for him to be pursued.

His programme of activities in Britain was publicised well in advance; the plan was to speak about the realities of the Palestine-Israel conflict to British politicians, academics and members of the public. The intention was to provide an opportunity for those in Britain to hear the Palestinian narrative for a change.

The Arab League said Sheikh Salah is well known for his prominent role in the non-violent struggle to defend the Palestinian people and their rights in the occupied Palestinian territories, including the inhabitants of Jerusalem al-Quds who suffer under Israeli regime's policy of systematic racial discrimination.

His arrest came as the UK government is giving Zionist war criminals a safe haven immune from arrest.

The Murdochs were later summonsed to attend the grilling by Whittingdale.

The crowd-sourcing feature, which can be found in the "Mark as" menu, lets users report compromised accounts directly to Hotmail.

Faced with the sobering reality that about 30 percent of all Hotmail spam comes from compromised e-mail accounts, Microsoft has added a nifty "My friend's been hacked!" reporting feature.

The crowd-sourcing feature, which can be found in the "Mark as" menu, lets users report compromised accounts directly to Hotmail.

"When you report that your friend's account has been compromised, Hotmail takes that report and combines it with the other information from the compromise detection engine to determine if the account in question has in fact been hijacked. It turns out that the report that comes from you can be one of the strongest "signals" to the detection engine, since you may be the first to notice the compromise," according to Microsoft's Dick Craddock.

NASA hacker refuses to pay compensation to US government


Infosecurity Magazine
Thu, 14 Jul 2011 02:52 UTC
A former Romanian hacker, after graduating in law in his home country, is reported to have refused to pay $240,000 compensation to the US government for hacking the servers of NASA, the US Navy and the Department of Energy back in 2005/2006.

The unusual legal case started when the US government realised it could not extradite Victor Faur, now aged 27, from his home country of Romania, despite the fact a Los Angeles court had indicted him on multiple counts.

This led the US government to prosecute Faur in his home country of Romania.

According to the Softpedia newswire, the US government claimed his actions caused $1.5 million in damages, but Faur argued that he only hacked into computers to warn owners about security problems.

"Faur, who used the hacker handle of SirVic, left taunting messages for system administrators on computers he compromised, making fun of their skills and instructing them on how to patch the machines", says the East European newswire.

In a single attack carried out in March foreign hackers stole over 24,000 data files from a compromised computer network, the US Department of Defense (DOD) has admitted.

The attack was part of a larger campaign by hackers against the DOD systems, and hackers are also trying to exploit its communications and satellite systems, according to William Lynn, the deputy secretary of defense. The most skilled hacking attempts are coming from nation states, rather than hacking groups, he warned.

The National Union of Mineworkers said on Wednesday that it condemned the attitude and behaviour of the police in shooting at "peaceful protesters" at Chemstof mine in Brits.

The union called on the authorities to reign in the criminal elements within the police force.

"The NUM is bitterly angry at the increasing lawlessness displayed by the police and warns the authorities that our beautiful country is rapidly turning into a police state after it allowed the police management and leadership under General Bheki Cele to militarise the police service," the NUM said.

The NUM said it was concerned by the increasing use of force and the ease with which the police were used by capital to brutalise and harass peaceful protesters.

"This kind of harassment can only harden the attitude of communities towards the police" said Sello Mfikoe, the NUM's regional organiser, in Rustenburg.

US: Nazi Cop Runs a Police State in Arizona Town

Some residents in a small Arizona city are saying that the term "police state" is more than just a metaphor for the authoritarian rule they feel that they are being more and more subjected to in tiny town just east of the California border.

A closed-door meeting over the weekend in Quartzsite, AZ allegedly led to the town council declaring a state of emergency and the removal of the mayor.

The decision reportedly comes after a video of a town resident being escorted out of an open meeting by police went viral on the Web and caused local officials to receive numerous death threats.

Jennifer 'Jade' Jones had the floor at a Quartzsite town meeting on June 28 when she became vocal about her disagreement with recent tax increases in the area. The town had recently made the decision to raise water and sewage fees for the first time in a decade, much to the outrage of the residents of the 70 mobile-home parks that help make up the 3,500-person population in Quartzsite. As Jones spoke out against the tax hike, Councilman Joe Winslow demanded she vacate the building or be escorted out by police.

A resulting disagreement between the two parties escalated when Mayor Ed Foster demanded that police continue to let her speak, interjecting, "Officer, that woman has the floor. You're violating my rules of order here. Sergeant, I have control of the meeting."

Despite the mayor's plea, Police Chief Jeff Gilbert ordered Jones removed. She suffered a torn ligament as she was taken into custody and thus admitted to a local hospital.
