New Research Campus
Aims at Tough Problems

Neuronal
circuitry and imaging technologies will be the focus of the
new Janelia Farm Research Campus of the Howard Hughes Medical
Institute. Janelia Farm is run by former Berkeley Lab scientist
Gerald Rubin. To decide on Janelia's research focus, five
workshops, held earlier this year, asked scientific leaders
to think about problems tough enough to require 100 people
working for 10 years. One workshop participant, Berkeley Lab
molecular biologist Eva Nogales, hopes Janelia's
teams will devise new detectors and computational methods
for imaging nonhomogenous macromolecules. "It could be
a quantum leap in what is being done right now," Nogales
says. Full
story.

In
Cyber- Space, a Dark Alliance
By
Gregory Lamb
For years, Spammers worked in shadowy corners of the electronic world, trying to get network defenses to plant their junk e-mail. Virus writers exploited computers to take them over. Now, they're starting to work together. Even top-notch computer scientists may take hours to design a "patch" to stop a virus or Spam, a response time that's far too slow. Computer scientist Stefan Savage and his partner, Berkeley Lab's Vern Paxson, have set two goals: one is to understand better how worms and viruses spread, accumulating minute detail on their limitations and characteristics. They also want to better predict how fast a virus will spread and how destructive it will be. Full story.

Protect Windows From JPEG Flaw
A security flaw in how Windows systems and applications handle JPEG graphics makes systems vulnerable if users view a .JPEG file on the web or in e-mail. To remove this vulnerability, patches are required on both the operating system (e.g., Windows Server 2000 and Windows XP) and Microsoft applications (e.g., Office XP, Office 2003, etc.). Go here to ensure your operating system is patched, and here for Microsoft applications. When you go to the Windows Update site, avoid downloading Service Pack 2 for Windows XP. Because of its numerous flaws, the Lab's Information Technology and Services Division does not recommend installing this service pack.
Beware Supposed
Microsoft Messages
A
very authentic-looking message purporting to be from
Microsoft is circulating around the Internet. With a
subject of "Urgent Reminder: Download SP2 Today"
and a sender address of "[email protected].com,"
the message urges users to download Service Pack 2 for
Windows XP. The message is bogus. The link does not
go to a Microsoft address. Those who receive this or
similar messages should delete them immediately. Microsoft
does not send unsolicited messages of this nature, but
members of the hacking world frequently do.
