As of January 2001, most of the Web sites we reviewed were following OMB's guidance on the use of cookies. Of the 65 sites we reviewed, 57 did not use persistent cookies on their Web sites. However, of the eight sites that were using persistent cookies, four did not disclose such use in their privacy policies, as required by OMB. The remaining four sites using persistent cookies did provide disclosure but did not meet OMB's other conditions for using cookies. In addition, four other sites - that did not use cookies - did not post privacy policies on their home pages. When we brought these issues to the attention of each of the agencies, all of them took corrective action or stated that they are planning to take such action. Although OMB's guidance has proved useful in ensuring that federal Web sites address privacy issues, the guidance remains fragmented, with multiple documents addressing various aspects of Web site privacy and cookie issues. In addition, the guidance does not provide clear direction on the disclosure of session cookies. Finally, OMB officials' stated position to exempt session cookies from disclosure in Web site privacy policies may confuse visitors to federal Web sites. We make recommendations to the Director to modify this guidance to ensure that it provides federal agencies with comprehensive and clear direction on the use of automatic collections - including cookies - of information on their Web sites.

The role of land carbon sinks in mitigating global climate change 스크랩

As evidence for the link between atmospheric greenhouse gases and climate change has increase, international efforts have focused on ways in which anthropogenic emissions of greenhouse gases, particularly carbon dioxide (CO2), can be reduced. Knowledge that CO2 is stored within and exchanged between the atmosphere and vegetation and soils has led to the suggestion that soils and vegetation could be managed to increase their uptake and storage of CO2, and thus become land carbon sinks'. Under the terms of the 1997 Kyoto protocol, signatores can meet part of their obligations to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from fossil fuel consumption by increasing these land carbon sinks. However there have been concerns about the permanece of land carbon sinks and the accuracy with which they can be quantified and verified. This report focuses on the scientific issues underpinning land carbon sinks, particularly in the context of their inclusion in the Kyoto Protocol. Terrestrial vegetation and soils are currently absorbing approximately 40% of global CO2 emissions from human activities. Changes in agricultural and forestry practices and slowing deforestation could increase this, potentially achieving a maximum of 25% of the reductions in CO2 that are projected to be required globally by 2050 to avoid large increases in temperature. This would however require considerable political will and there is little potential for increasing the land carbon sink thereafter. . . . . . There is still considerable uncertainty in the scientific understanding of the causes, magnitude and permanence of the land carbon sink through changes in land management practices is finite in size and duration. The amount of CO2 that can be sequestered in these sinks in small in comparison to the ever-increasing global emissions of greenhouse gases. Projects designed to enhance land carbon sinks must therfore not be allowed to divert financial and political resources away from the restructuring of energy generation and use (e.g. increased use of renewable energy), technological innovation (e.g.increased fuel efficiency, sequestration of CO2 at source) and technology transfer to less developed countries. It is these that must provide the ultimate solution to the problem of reducing the concentration of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.

Approximately 50% of the Earth's surface is occupied by high-seas - open ocean and deep-sea environments lying beyond the 200 nautical mile limit of the Exclusive Economic Zones of coastal states. These high-seas areas are open-access common resources, and as such may be particularly susceptible to over-exploitation. Until relatively recently there was little perceived threat to these areas. However, in recent years there has been a rapid expansion in two industries 2000m. There are also a number of existing threats to open ocean areas, e.g. direct and indirect impacts on fish, seabirds and cetaceans. Further, there are a number of suggested or developing technologies that could pose a threat to high-seas areas, e.g. Co2 dumping, biotechnology, the explitation of gas hydrates and hydrothermal vent heat energy. It is therefore timely to review the status of natural resources in high-seas environments in light of these existing or potential threats. Deep-sea and open ocean environments are continuous and highly interconnected, however, there are a number of relatively discrete or localised geographic features / habitats / biological communities that have particular scientific, societal or economic interest. - Hydrothermal vents - Deep-sea trenches - Polymetallic nodules - Gas hydrates - Seabirds - Transboundary fish stocks - Seamounts - Deep-sea 'coral reefs' - Cold seeps and pockmarks - Submarine canyons - Cetaceans This report identifies these areas of interest, reviews their significant characteristics, assesses existing or potential threats to them, and their potential value as High-Seas Marine Protected areas (HSMPAs). For each area of interest, the report reviews habitat characteristics, global distribution, associated fauna, exploitation value, biodiversity issues and potential / actual threats. Based on these reviews, a number of recommendations are presented regarding the need for protection and potential HSMPA status.

Federal R&D funding priorities have shifted over time, reflecting Presidential preferences and national priorities. Defense R&D predominated in the 1980s but decreased to about 50 percent or less of total federal R&D in the 1990s, reflecting the Clinton Administration policy. In nondefense R&D, space R&D was dominant in the 1960s; energy R&D joined space as a priority during the 1970s; and since the 1980s, health R&D funding has grown as the cohort of aged population increases and the promise of life sciences and biotechnology affects national expectations.

There are renewed warnings of possible terrorist attacks on U.S. critical infrastructures using easily accessible computer networks. The key issue at this point is how best to balance reaction to the likelihood of cyberterrorist threats compared to other terrorist threats, and their potential consequences for American and democratic values. The challenge of dealing with cyberterrorism is compounded by concerns over privacy and national security.

In the search for an appropriate response to the terrorist attack of September 11, 2001, the United States possesses a number of political, economic, and military tools. One of the military tools available is the use of computers, computer networks, the Internet, and software to deny likely adversaries, including terrorists, the ability to attack or exploit computer networks and critical infrastructure, and the ability to communicate in planning and carrying out acts of terrorism. The key issue in this context is the degree to which such tools might be available, appropriate, and effective.
