Re: A bit of excitement yesterday
I mean, if it was real, what could one do? Bend over and kiss your ass goodbye. Kenneth Waller http://www.pentaxphotogallery.com/kennethwaller - Original Message - From: "Daniel J. Matyola" Subject: A bit of excitement yesterday We are at the beginning of our annual sojourn on Maui. Yesterday, at a little after 8:00 AM, we were having breakfast at a lovely beachfront restaurant All of a sudden my phone started to scream, as did those of my wife, my son and all the other patrons in the restaurant. Picking up my phone, I read: "Emergency alert -- BALLISTIC MISSILE THREAT INBOUND TO HAWAII. SEEK IMMEDIATE SHELTER. THIS IS NOT A DRILL." I looked at it a few times, looked around the room at the other patrons, shrugged and went back to my breakfast. I mean, if it was real, what could one do? go to the basement, so the building could collapse on me? Head up the mountain, where I would be more exposed to blast and radiation from an explosion at Pearl Harbor? Not much would help. After all, if one is to die, why not do it in paradise with a glass of fresh guava juice and Eggs Benedict? All of the other patrons in the restaurant -- probably mostly Canadians -- also shrugged, put their phones down, and continued with breakfast. It took 38 minutes for the "authorities" to issue a retraction through the emergency system. My son was able to find a couple of reliable tweets stating it was a false alarm within about 10 minutes, but still, the delay was inexcusable. Elsewhere in Hawaii, there was real panic. In Honolulu, hospital patients were moved from their beds to the basement. tourists panicked on Waikiki. Children were in tears. The biggest problem is that, if there ever is a real alert, who would believe it. An hour after the event, CNN was covering nothing else. The mistake appears to have been human error, at the level of the state emergency center in the crater of Diamond Head, and even the senior military on Hawaii (who would be the first to know of a real attack) were caught by surprise and confused. On Maui, most were more concerned with the high surf warnings than the ballistic missile warning. A bit of excitement in the midst of the serenity of paradise.

Re: PESO - Cactus Glow
Thanks, Jack. I took several shots, of course, and some were more of the sunlight cacti isolated. I like the one with more things around it to show the detail around it. To show the details were in focus. Your suggestion is interesting, because while I liked the bloom it does make it look like it might be out of focus. Of course, I haven't shot that many back lit cacti before, so it was pretty experimental for me anyway. Yes, debatable. Maybe I should play with it and see.

If I were specifying the software, there'd be a requirement to enter your system user name and password, partly to insure that the person had authorization to be sending the message and partly to trace who sent a bogus message in that event. People think more clearly when they're required to identify themselves on the record before making a stupid mistake. The *small* amount of experience I have with government computer systems makes me believe they already know who it was. The person coming on shift would have to logon to the system before he/she could run the tests. Nowadays, most government systems require two-factor authentication. You have to insert a CAC (Computer Access Card) into a reader on the keyboard before you can enter your user name and password. Usually the CAC card is some kind of ID badge with a "chip" like that on credit cards. For a systems test at shift handover, I expect both operators have to be on the system, but there's still a procedure for which operator will run the test and which will authenticate it. -- Science - Questions we may never find answers for.
