Director: 'Waterworks'
Option for Tsunami Aid
Berkeley
Lab Director Steve Chu has written
and signed a letter with former Lab scientist Art Rosenfeld,
now with the California Energy Commission, about "a
unique opportunity" for those wishing to help with
the tsunami relief effort. To provide much-needed drinking
water in refugee camps, WaterHealth International is
offering, on a cost recovery basis, the provision of
"UV Waterworks" purification systems, the
invention of the Lab environmental scientist Ashok
Gadgil. A $1 tax-deductible contribution will
leverage $4 in direct relief to Sri Linka and India,
thanks to matching contributions by other organizations.

Spyware Getting
Ever More Malicious
New
types of spyware are becoming increasingly malicious.
For example, CoolWebSearch changes settings in Internet
Explorer browsers and installs rogue applications; KeenValue
collects information about users and sends advertisements
to systems on which it resides; Perfect Keylogger logs
every keystroke users enter, putting users' personal information
at risk; and Marketscore collects all data sent to other
systems. Windows users should run an anti-spyware program
every day. Free copies are available on the Lab's download
site.
