Hadley Malcolm hosts USA NOW for Aug. 16 on the CIA revealing Area 51.
Doug Stanglin, USA TODAY 11:04 a.m. EDT August 16, 2013
New document shows the CIA is becoming less secretive about Area 51's existence .
After years of government denials, the CIA is acknowledging in newly declassified documents the existence of Area 51, the mysterious site in central Nevada that has spawned top-secret tools, weapons and not a few UFO conspiracies.
George Washington University's National Security Archive obtained a CIA history of the U-2 spy plane program through a public records request and released it Thursday.
National Security Archive senior fellow Jeffrey Richelson reviewed the history in 2002, but all mentions of Area 51 had been redacted.
Richelson says he requested the history again in 2005 and received a version a few weeks ago with mentions of Area 51 restored.
Officials have already acknowledged in passing the existence of the facility in central Nevada where the government is believed to test intelligence tools and weapons.
Richelson believes the new document shows the CIA is becoming less secretive about Area 51's existence, if not about what goes at the location 90 miles north of Las Vegas.
The references are found in a CIA history of the U-2 reconnaissance program written in 1992.
The history even recalls the first time CIA project director Richard Bissell and Air Force officer Col. Osmund Ritlandt spotted the site, which was then an old airstrip by the salt flat named Groom Lake.
They viewed it from aboard a small Beechcraft plane piloted by Tony LeVier, Lockheed's chief test pilot.
Excerpt:
They spotted what appeared to be an airstrip by a salt flat known as Groom Lake, near the northeast corner of the Atomic Energy Commission's (AEC) Nevada Proving Ground.
After debating about landing on the old airstrip, LeVier set the plane down on the lakebed, and all four walked over to examine the strip. The facility had been used during World War II as an aerial gunnery range for Army Air Corps pilots. From the air the strip appeared to be paved, but on closer inspection it turned out to have originally been fashioned from compacted earth that had turned into ankle-deep dust after more than a decade of disuse.
If LeVier had attempted to land on the airstrip, the plane would probably have nosed over when the wheels sank into the loose soil, killing or injuring all of the key figures in the U-2 project.
The document says the group agreed that the location "would make an ideal site for testing the U-2 and training its pilots," according to the history.
The lightweight U-2 spy plane was being built by Lockheed at its top-secret "Skunk Works" plant in Burbank, Calif.
The document says that the CIA then called on the Atomic Energy Commission to add the Groom Lake area to its real estate holdings in Nevada.
"AEC chairman Adm. Lewis Strauss readily agreed and President Eisenhower also approved the addition of this strip of wasteland, known by its map designation as Area 51,to the Nevada Test site," according to the document.
"To make the facility in the middle of nowhere sound more attractive to his workers, (Skunk Works founder) Kelly Johnson called it the Paradise Ranch, which was soon shortened to the Ranch," according to the document.
Several books and articles in recent years had already begun to penetrate the mystery of Area 51.
In 2010, James Noce, who said he did contract security work at the site in the 1960s and 1070s, told The Seattle Times that he used to get paid in cash, signing a phony name to the receipt.
Noce, then 72, told the newspaper that he had attended the first-ever public reunion in 2009 of former Area 51 workers.
"I was doing something for the country," Noce says about those three years in the 1960s. "They told me, 'If anything should ever come up, anyone asks, 'Did you work for the CIA?' Say, 'Never heard of them.' But [my buddies] know."

UK Bars Trash Cans From Tracking People With Wi-Fi
LONDON August 12, 2013 (AP) By RAPHAEL SATTER Associated Press
Officials demanded Monday that an advertising firm stop using a network of high-tech trash cans to track people walking through London's financial district.
The Renew ad firm has been using technology embedded in the hulking receptacles to measure the Wi-Fi signals emitted by smartphones, and suggested that it would apply the concept of "cookies" — tracking files that follow Internet users across the Web — to the physical world.
"We will cookie the street," Renew Chief Executive Kaveh Memari said in June.
But the City of London Corporation insisted that Renew pull the plug on the program, which captures smartphones' serial numbers and analyzes signal strength to follow people up and down the street. Renew didn't immediately return a call seeking comment on whether it would comply with the authorities' demand.
The trash cans join a host of everyday objects from televisions to toilets that are being manufactured with the ability to send and receive data, opening up new potential for interaction — and surveillance.
It's unclear how Renew had planned to use the data, which were gathered by its reinforced, shoulder-height pods stationed near St. Paul's Cathedral and Liverpool Street Station.
But if a company could see that a certain smartphone user spent 20 minutes in a McDonald's every day, it could approach Burger King about airing an ad on the bin's video display whenever that user walks by at lunchtime. Or it could target its commercials in real time by distinguishing between people who work in the area and visiting tourists.
The prospect drew comparisons to the creepy "Good evening, John Anderton" ads from the Tom Cruise thriller "Minority Report."
Renew first tested the technology using 12 trash cans in May, but the story didn't get traction until an article on news website Quartz led to a burst of media coverage.
"Anything that happens like this on the streets needs to be done carefully, with the backing of an informed public," read a statement from the City of London Corporation, which is responsible for the city's historic "square mile," home to financial institutions, law firms and tourist landmarks.
A spokesman for the body said it had been blindsided by the tests, which he said it learned about through the press only last week.
Britain's data protection watchdog said it would investigate, while Nick Pickles of the privacy advocacy group Big Brother Watch said questions need to be asked "about how such a blatant attack on people's privacy was able to occur."
In a recent statement, Memari said media coverage of the "spy bins" had been a bit breathless.
"A lot of what had been extrapolated is capabilities that could be developed and none of which are workable right now," he said.
New FCC regulations now provide U.S. hospitals with:
Better availability of secure, high-power RF channels
Faster, simpler FCC licensing process
Improved protection from RF interference
Excellent protection of capital investment
New policy changes enable U.S. hospitals to improve patient safety with high-powered critical alert messaging solutions.
The FCC has issued an order making high-power send/receive channels in the 935-940MHz band available to all hospitals .
Critical Response Systems (CRS) uses these high-power channels to improve patient safety by reliably notifying healthcare personnel of clinical alarms within five seconds, while confirming that each message has been received and read.
High-power channels eliminate the dangerous delays, complexity, and dead spots endemic to low-power, unlicensed Wi-Fi and commercial cellular services. When used for clinical alarm notification, high-power systems reach responding personnel more quickly and reliably, reduce workflow disruption and mitigate alarm fatigue. These advantages improve patient safety and increase the efficiency of hospital staff members. Click here for a free white paper that explains how this process works .
This FCC action makes CRS solutions (as well as other advanced, high-power systems) much simpler to deploy and more available to hospitals. Additionally, high-power solutions are now available to other commercial and non-commercial enterprises in the utility, energy, transportation, education, industry, and security sectors. For more information on how this new policy can improve your patient care, please contact Critical Response Systems .
Critical Response Systems' manufactures leading-edge wireless data systems, focused solely on critical messaging and alerting. We know that every response starts with an alert, and our systems use the latest technology to ensure that clinical personnel and first responders get their messages quickly, correctly and reliably.

By Doug Gross, CNN updated 12:10 PM EDT, Mon August 12, 2013
(CNN) — Apple will unveil the latest version of its iPhone on September 10, according to a new report.
The news comes from All Things D, the Wall Street Journal-affiliated tech blog that has a solid track record for reporting inside Apple information.
Apple is believed to be working on a smartwatch and a TV, but neither of those products are expected to be ready for rollout at next month's event. Apple did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Likely to be called either the iPhone 6 or iPhone 5S, the phone's release date would fit the schedule Apple has established since the first iPhone was released in 2007.
The company has released a new iPhone model every year, and the release dates have all been in the summer or fall. The iPhone 5 came out in September 2012, the iPhone 4S in October 2011, and the three versions before that in the summer months.
The release date is the most recent, and probably one of the most accurate, rumors that precede this Apple release.
The upcoming Apple event will come at a unique time for the tech giant, which has dominated the smartphone and tablet markets for almost as long as they have existed. Android-based phones like Samsung's Galaxy S4 have put a dent in iPhone sales, while some critics have said the latest updates to the iPhone and iPad lack significant innovation.
The new iPhone will run iOS 7, the latest version of Apple's mobile operating system, which includes new typography, redesigned icons and a new color palette.
Here's a roundup of some of the speculation swirling around the next iPhone. As always with such things, take it all with a grain of salt. Leaks along Apple's supply line have become more frequent, but that doesn't mean all of them turn out to be accurate.
The new phone will likely be the iPhone 5S and keep the same design as the current iPhone 5. The iPhone 4 was followed by the 4S, which maintained the same form.
The company will also roll out a cheaper version of the iPhone , largely for sale in emerging markets. Reuters reported that it will cost $99 and come in five or six different colors. It may or may not be called the iPhone 5C. Apple Senior Vice President Phil Schiller has tossed cold water on this idea, though Apple is known for misdirection in advance of new product releases.
There will be at least one larger iPhone model, with a 4.7-inch screen, a 5.7-inch screen, or both to compete with big-screen rivals from Samsung, HTC and other makers.
As usual, it will have a faster processor, longer battery life, and an improved camera. Not much of a stretch there — all of these upgrades are typical of any gadget update.
Again, it remains to be seen which of these rumors and reports pan out. And Apple can be counted on for at least a few surprises.

Google retires the classic Gmail composition interface: How to make the new one more usable
Brad Chacos @BradChacos Aug 14, 2013 7:47 AM
Well, it's official: The classic Gmail composition interface is gone, gone, gone, replaced by the new-look pop-up window that first rolled out way back in March.
Don't act surprised. You knew this was going to happen, even though the revamped compose UI was lambasted from the moment it rolled out to the masses. And rightfully so! The classic Gmail composition experience consumed most of the screen, allowing you to focus front-and-center and respond to messages in-thread.
The new composition UI, on the other hand, was a small box that popped up in the lower-right corner of your screen. You had to turn your head to peer at it, especially on a large monitor; text quickly disappeared off-screen when you were banging out long emails.
In a word: meh. Before today, at least, you had the ability to revert to the classic Gmail composition interface is you loathed the new look as much as I did. No more , alas.
But fear not! While the small corner composition window is still stinking up Gmail by default, Google introduced a full-screen option for the new Gmail compose UI about a month ago after receiving a barrage of user complaints. It works really well, but it's not the default.
To have Gmail open a full-screen composition window whenever you click Compose, just start composing a new message and click the More options button to the right of the Discard trash can. (It looks like a little downward-pointing arrow.) Then, just select Default to full-screen in the menu that appears. Voila! Done.
The full-screen composition window still doesn't match the classic view completely, but hey—it eliminates my biggest gripes with the new-look UI, and you don't have to crane your neck to use it. This one little switch will help you get back to your Gmail power-using ways in no time.

Google Under Fire Over Gmail Privacy Remarks
By Chloe Albanesius August 14, 2013 11:11am EST
Google is making headlines this week for a court filing that some have interpreted as an admission that Gmail users should have no expectation of privacy while using the service.
The statement came as part of a motion to dismiss a class-action case that accused Google of violating federal and state wiretap laws via a program in Gmail that scans emails to serve up targeted ads.
Google argued that "just as a sender of a letter to a business colleague cannot be surprised that the recipient's assistant opens the letter, people who use Web-based email today cannot be surprised if their communications are processed by the recipient's ECS [electronic communications service] provider in the course of delivery."
The search giant goes on to quote a 1979 case, Smith v. Maryland, which found that "a person has no legitimate expectation of privacy in information he voluntarily turns over to third parties."
In that case , a telephone company, at the request of law enforcement, installed at its central offices a pen register to record the numbers dialed from the telephone at the petitioner's home. Ultimately, the Supreme Court found that "the installation and use of the pen register was not a 'search' within the meaning of the Fourth Amendment, and hence no warrant was required."
according to public interest group Consumer Watchdog, however, the filing means that "Google has finally admitted they don't respect privacy."
"People should take them at their word; if you care about your e-mail correspondents' privacy don't use Gmail," John M. Simpson, Consumer Watchdog's Privacy Project director, said in a statement .
Ad-related email scanning within Gmail is nothing new; it dates back to at least 2004, and has encountered a number of challenges along the way. Google has long held that the scanning is done via an algorithm and no humans at Google are reading peoples' emails.
"We take our users' privacy and security very seriously; recent reports claiming otherwise are simply untrue," Google said in a statement. "We have built industry-leading security and privacy features into Gmail - and no matter who sends an email to a Gmail user, those protections apply."
It seems the point of contention is the data that people voluntarily turn over to third parties and what that means. In its motion to dismiss, Google discusses this at a high level - as in data traveling over a network.
"All users of email must necessarily expect that their emails will be subject to automated processing," the firm said. "As numerous courts have held, the automated processing of email is so widely understood and accepted that the act of sending an email constitutes implied consent to automated processing as a matter of law."
Consumer Watchdog interpreted that to mean "that people can't expect privacy when sending a message" via Gmail. But the filing discusses non-Gmail users who send messages to Gmail users - who should expect that their messages will be processed by Google. Basically, those people should have no expectation that messages they send to a Gmail account will not be handled by Google technology.
Google also referred to another case , which held that "by the very act of sending a communication over the Internet, the party expressly consents to the recording of the message."
With all the news surrounding the National Security Agency data leaks, that should come as no surprise. Major tech companies are required to retain certain data for varying lengths of time in case it is requested by law enforcement.
The controversy recently prompted two encrypted email services to shut down in order to avoid government scrutiny: Lavabit, which was linked to NSA whistle blower Edward Snowden; and Silent Circle.
Consumer Watchdog is no stranger to Google, meanwhile. Back in 2010, the group purchased space on a Times Square jumbotron to display a video that attacked Google's Eric Schmidt and his company's privacy policies. The Times Square ad, projected on a 540 square foot screen, was a 15-second animated short featuring a bobble-headed Schmidt as an evil ice cream man. "He's collecting YOUR personal information," a message said.

— C.S. Lewis
CLIVE STAPLES LEWIS (1898–1963) was one of the intellectual giants of the twentieth century and arguably one of the most influential writers of his day. He was a Fellow and Tutor in English Literature at Oxford University until 1954. He was unanimously elected to the Chair of Medieval and Renaissance Literature at Cambridge University, a position he held until his retirement. He wrote more than thirty books, allowing him to reach a vast audience, and his works continue to attract thousands of new readers every year. His most distinguished and popular accomplishments include Mere Christianity, Out of the Silent Planet, The Great Divorce, The Screwtape Letters, and the universally acknowledged classics The Chronicles of Narnia. To date, the Narnia books have sold over 100 million copies and been transformed into three major motion pictures. [ source ]
