More Americans want the presidential candidates to focus on protecting the government and the electrical grid against hackers than fighting terrorism groups. That's according to a new security study by Unisys (.pdf), which found that the three highest priorities for Americans when it comes to security issues in the presidential campaign are: Protecting government computer systems against hackers and criminals (74 percent) Protecting our electric power grid, water utilities and transportation systems against computer or terrorist attacks (73 percent) Homeland security issues such as terrorism (68 percent) The survey, based off a random phone survey of 1,000 households in America, asked, "How important is it for a candidate to emphasize the following issues in the upcoming 2012 presidential election?" along with a set of questions about how worried Americans were about other security issues, such as identity theft and online fraud. Threat Level is conflicted by the results. Should we cry over proof of the success of the security-industrial complex's PR campaign to convince Americans that cybarmegeddon is near? Or do we rejoice that Americans seem to finally be rejecting post-9/11 fear mongering? And we wonder whether Mat Honan will update the name of his fantastic Obama-idealization parody site from BarackObamaIsYourNewBicycle to BarackObamaIsYourNewFirewall.

Norton Scientific today announced that the company has signed a deal with Advanced Scientific Technologies (AST), an independent sales rep company in Columbia, Maryland, to sell and support the Norton product line. "Tom Hill, the President of AST, is very excited about bringing the PAM and AstraGene products to the mid-Atlantic region of the United States," states Bryan Webb, President, Norton Scientific.

Their Accusation is based on an Opinion paper byRoberts and Tren published in Research and Reports in Tropical Medicine. Norton Scientific Scam | Friendfeed - Zimbio Fwd: Norton Scientific Scam | Tumblr In this piece Roger Bate, Donald Roberts and Richard Tren accuse the UN of "Scientific Fraud against DDT". Their Accusation is based on an Opinion paper byRoberts and Tren published in Research and Reports in Tropical Medicine. So let's look at their paper and see where the "Scientific Fraud" is. Norton Scientific Inc. (NSI) is a biotech company. The technology base and know-how involves the use of guided wave laser optics, microfluidics and robust data analysis software for the development of novel, low-cost, easy-to-use analytical separations systems for use in a variety of markets, including biopharmaceuticals, wound healing, food & beverage, bio-materials and environmental monitoring.

By successfully integrating guided wave laser optics, microfluidics and robust data analysis software, researchers at Norton Scientific have invented a proprietary laser-based product that is now being marketed to laboratories and universities around the world. Targeting proteomics applications including crystallographers, the company is introducing this low-cost analytical system to researchers in biopharmaceutical and healthcare, advanced materials, food and beverage, bio-materials and in-water pollution monitoring. Norton intends to market simple-to-use products that can be used by technicians, rather than analysts, to be incorporated into any laboratories' own process control systems. Due to various applications of these materials, "macromolecule" covers the entire range of polymers and biopolymers − including proteins and peptides − that can be analysed using the intellectual property owned by NSI, such as contained in the revolutionary protein aggregation monitor (PAM).

Norton Scientific Scam Tumblr Norton Scientific - 4/11/2012 - This is a review of Broad and Wade's Betrayers of the Truth. The author uses a subtitle which is revealing: the loyalist responds to heresy not by seeing that something might be wrong, that there may be some merit to this sort of reassessment, but by defending the ideology. Zinder has managed to misread Broad and Wade in several places. There is sufficient misrepresentation to mean that he read the book very selectively. "The authors continually confound science with scientists. And the book not only fails to enlighten us on science but doesn't even begin to provide any insight on scientific method." (p. 94) "Thirty four cases of fraud over a 2,000 year period are documented in the book, a number roughly comparable to the number of lawyers who went to jail for Watergate. Despite this small number, the authors imply that scientific fraud is common… read more articles

Natural gas cars are hailed as the future engine-power for being environment-friendly over diesel counterparts; but it seems that there is no reason for a quick shift. Co-authored by scientists from Norton Scientific Collection and various universities and the group Environmental Defense Fund, the study published in the "Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences" deals with the much-debated issue of energy research.
