Gregory Cucchiara, 40, represented himself at trial and was quickly convicted by a jury for murdering his mother Josephine in May 2011 and his father Carmelo a year later in August 2012. "Your mother, the woman who pushed and squeezed with all she could in order to give you life and in return you choked and squeezed the life out of her as she struggled for her life," said an outraged Queens Supreme Court Justice Kenneth C. Holder before sentencing an unapologetic Gregory Cucchiara.
Sea Levels Rose Faster Last Century Than In Previous 2,700 Years, Study Finds

National Public Radio: A new study suggests that sea levels are rising at an unprecedented rate and that the problem will continue well into this century. "Sea level rise in the 20th century was truly extraordinary by historical standards," says Bob Kopp, an associate professor of Earth and planetary sciences at Rutgers University, and who is lead author on the study, which appears in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. Sea levels rose by roughly 5 inches in the past hundred years, Kopp...

NIST Celebrates Cybersecurity Framework's two years of success.
2016-02-23 14:31:08| Industrial Newsroom - All News for Today
Two years ago, NIST released Cybersecurity Framework. That document, designed to help strengthen cybersecurity at organizations that manage critical national infrastructure, was produced after one year of intense collaboration with industry. Currently, this tool is used by 30% of U.S. organizations, and that number is projected to reach 50% by 2020. In addition to private organizations in other countries, other governments use it as foundation for their national cybersecurity guidelines.

Seas are now rising faster than they have in 2,800 years, scientists say
2016-02-23 10:59:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Washington Post: A group of scientists says it has now reconstructed the history of the planets sea levels arcing back over some 3,000 years -- leading it to conclude that the rate of increase experienced in the 20th century was extremely likely to have been faster than during nearly the entire period. We can say with 95 percent probability that the 20th-century rise was faster than any of the previous 27 centuries, said Bob Kopp, a climate scientist at Rutgers University who led the research with nine colleagues...
Sea levels rising at fastest rate in 2,800 years due to global warming, studies show
2016-02-23 03:24:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Associated Press: Sea levels are rising several times faster than they have in the past 2,800 years, with the process accelerating because of manmade global warming, according to new studies. An international team of scientists examined two dozen locations across the globe to chart rising and falling seas over centuries and millennia. Until the 1880s and the worlds industrialisation, the fastest seas rose was about 3cm to 4cm a century. During that time global sea levels did not get much higher or lower than...
