FunPika writes with this excerpt from Wired: "A federal appeals court on
Friday [0]reinstated a whopping $675,000 file sharing verdict that a jury
levied against a Boston college student for making 30 tracks of music
available on a peer-to-peer network. The decision by the 1st U.S. Circuit
Court of Appeals reverses a federal judge who [1]slashed the award as
'unconstitutionally excessive.' U.S. District Judge Nancy Gertner of
Boston reduced the verdict to $67,500, or $2,250 for each of the 30
tracks defendant Joel Tenenbaum unlawfully downloaded and shared on
Kazaa, a popular file sharing peer-to-peer service. The Recording
Industry Association of America and Tenenbaum both appealed in what has
been the nation's second RIAA file sharing case to ever reach a jury. The
Obama administration [2]argued in support of the original award, and said
the judge went too far when addressing the constitutionality of the
Copyright Act's damages provisions. The act allows damages of up to
$150,000 a track." Update: 09/17 21:32 GMT by [3]S : As it turns out, the
article's explanation of the decision is a bit lacking; read on for
[4]NewYorkCountryLawyer's more accurate explanation.

Layzej writes "Federal biologist Charles Monnett was placed on
administrative leave July 18 pending final results of an inspector
general's investigation into integrity issues. The investigation
originally focused on a 2006 note published in Polar Biology based on a
unique observation of four dead polar bears. The investigators
acknowledged that they had no formal training in science, but later
[0]demonstrated a complete misunderstanding of science, the peer review
process, and at times basic math with questions like 'seven of what
number is 11 percent?' They also expressed concern over the fact that the
note was reviewed by Monnett's wife prior to submitting the paper for
peer review. When nothing turned up, the investigation turned towards
Monnett's role in administering research contracts. But [1]documents
released by PEER, a watchdog and whistle-blower protection group, suggest
even that investigation is off base. Monnett has since been reinstated,
albeit in a different position. Now [2]the IG handling of this case is
itself under investigation following a PEER complaint that the IG is
violating new Interior Department scientific integrity rules."

PolygamousRanchKid writes with this quote from an article in the
Economist: "The directors of Yahoo! were 'so spooked by being cast as the
worst board in the country' that they fired Carol Bartz as chief
executive 'to show that they're not the doofuses that they are.' That was
Ms Bartz's typically blunt verdict, offered to Fortune after [0]she was
dismissed with a phone call by the internet firm's chairman, Roy Bostock,
on September 6th. She would say that. Yet Ms Bartz's criticisms of the
board have been sympathetically received. Firing a chief executive by
phone smacks of hasty, panicky decision-making. And Yahoo!'s board
already had a poor reputation, having turned down an offer from Microsoft
that valued the firm at several times what it is worth today. It is not
just Yahoo!'s board that is feeling the heat. The directors of HP,
another stumbling Silicon Valley giant, have been accused of serial
ineptitude spanning the appointment and dismissal of Carly Fiorina as
chief executive, the firing of her successor, Mark Hurd, and the
selection of his replacement, L��o Apotheker. ... There is [1]growing
demand for boards to undergo a formal evaluation process, to assess both
the performance of each individual board member and how they work
together as a group. The European Union is considering new regulations
that would require an independent evaluation of the board every three
years."

RogerRoast writes "In a [0]study published in Physical Review B

magnetic fields alone. The invention could lead to new applications for
this mysterious material. Though numerous industrial, commercial, and
biomedical applications for ferrofluids have since been created, the
original goal ��� to pump liquids with no machinery ��� remained elusive,
until now. The ferrohydrodynamic pump method works when electrodes wound
around a pipe force magnetic nanoparticles within the ferrofluids to
rotate at varying speeds. Those particles closest to the electrodes spin
faster, and it is this spatial variation in rotation speed that propels
the ferrofluid forward."

Those same traits have also made it a bane for countless victims and the

why. According to security researchers, a hacker in his early 20s known
by the alias 'Soldier' [0]led a bank fraud operation that netted $3.2
million in six months. Powered by the SpyEye crimeware kit and aided by
money mules and an accomplice believed to reside in Hollywood, Soldier
[1]commanded a botnet of more than 25,000 computers between April 19 and
June 29 that compromised bank accounts and made off with the profits.
Most of the victims were in the U.S., but there were a handful of victims
in 90 other countries as well. Among the affected organizations were
banks, educational facilities and government agencies."

planets that had their thick atmospheres stripped after drifting too
close to their parent stars? This 'top-down' mechanism may also help
