During the October 7 broadcast of NPR's Morning Edition, national political correspondent Mara Liasson reported that Gov. Sarah Palin has been "saying that [Sen. Barack] Obama pals around with domestic terrorists." Similarly, in an October 7 Los Angeles Times article, staff writer Peter Wallsten reported that Palin "has taken the lead in delivering the most zealous attacks on Obama's character. Over the weekend, she accused him of 'palling around with terrorists,' referring to [William] Ayers, a founder of the radical Weather Underground." While Wallsten reported that Obama "has denied having strong ties with Ayers," and "has denounced the tactics and Ayers' views," neither Liasson nor Wallsten pointed out that The New York Times, in the October 4 article Palin cited in making her claim, reported that "the two men do not appear to have been close. Nor has Mr. Obama ever expressed sympathy for the radical views and actions of Mr. Ayers, whom he has called 'somebody who engaged in detestable acts 40 years ago, when I was 8.' "

This is the second time in two days that a report on NPR's Morning Edition has quoted Palin's comments about Ayers without noting that Palin was distorting the NY Times article she cited.

By contrast, in an October 6 LA Times article, staff writers Maeve Reston and Seema Mehta reported that "Palin noted that the New York Times had written about the Ayers-Obama link. The article concluded, however, that the men were not close." Additionally, Washington Post staff writer Michael Abramowitz noted in an October 5 article that Palin's comments are a "distortion of what the Times story concluded."

From the October 7 broadcast of NPR's Morning Edition:

SHAPIRO: Tonight, 100 voters who have yet to settle on a presidential candidate will have a chance to quiz John McCain and Barack Obama. The second of three presidential debates takes place on the campus of Belmont University in Nashville. It'll be a town hall-style format, moderated by NBC's Tom Brokaw. NPR's Mara Liasson will be there, and she joins us now for a preview. Good morning, Mara.

LIASSON: Good morning, Ari.

SHAPIRO: This debate comes just as the campaign is getting more aggressive and more negative. Does that seem about on schedule a month before the election?

LIASSON: Yes, it does. The campaign is getting very, very aggressive. You have Sarah Palin saying that Obama pals around with domestic terrorists. You have Obama running this 13-minute Web video about McCain's connections to the villain of the 1980s savings and loan scandal, Charles Keating. You have Obama running an ad that seems to question McCain's mental stability, saying he's erratic. And you have McCain running an ad that says Obama is dishonorable. So, that's what's happening now, just at a time when voters are very concerned about the economy, and, of course, that's been helping Obama.

From the October 7 Los Angeles Times article:

Palin, meantime, has taken the lead in delivering the most zealous attacks on Obama's character. Over the weekend, she accused him of "palling around with terrorists," referring to Ayers, a founder of the radical Weather Underground.

On Monday, a pro-McCain columnist quoted her questioning why Obama's ties with Wright were not being discussed more, "because those were appalling things that that pastor had said about our great country, and to have sat in the pews for 20 years and listened to that -- with, I don't know, a sense of condoning it, I guess, because he didn't get up and leave -- to me, that does say something about character."

Obama cut off ties with Wright earlier this year and quit his membership at Trinity United Church of Christ, where he had worshiped for two decades with Wright, whom he has credited with helping him become a Christian.

The Illinois senator has denied having strong ties with Ayers, whose group was connected with several bombings during the Vietnam War era. Obama has denounced the tactics and Ayers' views.

Our WIRED friend Melanie Cornwell gives us a heads up on the final two special events at the ongoing WIRED NextFest in Chicago this week. If you're in town, you gotta go! Melanie explains: [First, an] homage to "Inside the Actors Studio" called "Inside the Gamers Studio" with Chris Hardwick tackling the Lipton role in a live interview with Alex Seropian, founder of Bungie Studios and EP of Halo. This will be followed by our first ever Brain Bowl, in which super smart Chicago-area college students who play Quiz Bowl take on Wired editors, Chicago professors and other notables. We’ve been unofficially calling this event “Are you smarter than a Wired editor?” and when it comes to the students, the answer is surely “Yes!” As one of our editors noted, the students are still in the process of learning, while he spends a lot of his time forgetting. :-) Hardwick returns to his game show roots as host, it should be hilarious. WHERE: Chicago’s Millennium Park WHEN: Wednesday, October 8, 2008 Inside the Gamers Studio - 4:30-5:30pm Beer/Soft Drink Break – 5:30-6pm Brain Bowl – 6-8pm They're our final NextFest events and are free and open to the public. More info at wirednextfest.com. Check out Hardwick on G4 TV, and on his blog at nerdist.com, where there's more about this event.

Stealing EWJ's spot this week is Mario Golf, one of those rare Nintendo 64 releases for the VC (1,000 points), which is nice and all, but I'd still prefer Earthworm platforming. Oh well, maybe next week?
Not only are there two new games on the VC this week, WiiWare gets double the love as well, with Gameloft's Midnight Bowling (800 points), which includes an "immersive career mode", and the falling block puzzler MadStone from Riverman Media (800 points).
Wii-kly Update
Two WiiWare Games and Two Virtual Console Games Added to Wii Shop Channel
Pop quiz: What do you get when you add together 10 pins, 18 holes, two stolen jewels and hundreds of tumbling blocks? Never mind arithmetic—the answer lies in this week’s excellent additions to the Wii Shop Channel™. Wii™ lovers on the lookout for fresh gaming thrills can take their pick from a lively lineup that includes electrified bowling, Mario-styled golf, inventive puzzles and fantastic battles. Better yet, try out all four games and watch the fun grow exponentially.
Nintendo adds new and classic games to the Wii Shop Channel at 9 a.m. Pacific time every Monday. Wii owners with a high-speed Internet connection can redeem Wii Points™ to download the games. Wii Points can be purchased in the Wii Shop Channel or at retail outlets. This week’s new games are:
WiiWare™
Midnight Bowling™ (Gameloft, 1-4 players, Rated E for Everyone, 800 Wii Points): Plunge directly into the trendy and electric atmosphere of Midnight Bowling. With awesome playing sensations, prepare for ultra-fun gaming thanks to a new physics engine that lets you control your throws precisely and easily with your Wii Remote™ controller and make spectacular spins that will impress your opponents. Face up to three friends in the fun party mode, where your playing abilities will be put to the test. Whatever your experience level, launch yourself into the immersive career mode, where you will play in the trendiest bowling spots on the planet against charismatic characters that will give you a run for your money.
MadStone (Riverman Media, 1-2 players, Rated E for Everyone, 800 Wii Points): Time is short. Earth trembles as the forces of nature stir and grow restless. Can you turn the tide? In this dynamic puzzle game, you must clear the path for your elemental MadStones to reach the bottom of the screen. Blocks can be broken by striking them directly or by the force of falling objects. The novice tries frantically to break enough blocks, while the master sets up cascading collapses with only a handful of direct strikes. As two sides struggle for domination, titanic forces build, only to be unleashed in an earth-shaking final confrontation. Experience the mystical single-player journey, or challenge a friend in competitive two-player mode.
Virtual Console™
Mario Golf™ (Nintendo 64™, 1-4 players, Rated E for Everyone, 1,000 Wii Points): Mario™ takes a well-deserved break from his role as the Mushroom Kingdom’s busiest hero and returns to the links for some world-class golfing action. Since no one likes to hit the fairways alone, he’s brought along a group of friends—both familiar characters and brand new ones. Choose from 10 different modes of play and six 18-hole courses in a variety of environments for a golfing experience with endless replay value. Add in fun, colorful graphics with a Mario touch (a Boo indicates wind direction), intuitive controls, incredibly deep game play and multiplayer support (taunt your opponents), and you have a game anyone will enjoy—even if you’ve never played a round of golf. Fore!
Shining Force™ II (Sega Genesis, 1 player, Rated E for Everyone—Mild Fantasy Violence, 800 Wii Points): It’s a dark and stormy night in the kingdom of Granseal when a thief steals two jewels from the Tower of the Ancients. He sets in motion strange events that lead to the resurrection of Zeon, the Devil King. Granseal’s king falls sick, the princess is kidnapped, and a door to Arc Valley, the Devil King’s home, is opened. The young swordsman, Bowie, realizing the grave danger Granseal faces, must lead the Shining Force to find the Holy Sword and the stolen jewels, and protect Granseal against the invading armies of Zeon.

And though Microsoft and the entire software industry have labored tirelessly to handle zero-day exploits and to develop protocols for reporting potential security problems, we've seen and experienced several colossal security meltdowns thanks to the humble Windows bug./pp class="ArticleBody" page="1"These errors, buried in millions of lines of code, have steered great corporations and turned the tide of fortunes.

The idea was simple: Allow users of networked computers to host and share files securely. Only the padlock Microsoft used to lock the door came equipped with a gaping hole that rendered it useless./pp class="ArticleBody" page="1""When processing authentication requests for a NetBIOS share, Windows 95/98 would look at the length of the password sent by the attacker and then only compare that number of bytes to the real password," writes vulnerability expert H.D.

"This let the attack specify a password of zero bytes and gain access to the share," without actually knowing the password at all, Moore explains./pp class="ArticleBody" page="1""The real damage," he continues, "was that by trying all characters of incrementing lengths, they could literally obtain the password for share from the server."/pp class="ArticleBody" page="1"bUpshot:/b Rather than functioning as a lock on a door, the password authentication scheme for Windows 95/98's File and Print Sharing acted more like a nail through a hasp -- to open the door you only needed to pull out the nail, with hardly any effort./pp class="ArticleBody" page="2"bFolder traversal: Total server control with a single URLbr/ Bug identifier:/b MS00-078br/ bDescription:/b Web server folder traversal vulnerabilitybr/ bAlias:/b Directory traversal bugbr/ bDate published:/b Oct. 17, 2000/pp class="ArticleBody" page="2"If there's one thing we've learned from the past decade of Microsoft patches, it?s that not everyone keeps on top of them.

While account permissions for IIS are somewhat limited, a related exploit helped escalate privileges, giving remote users the ability to do whatever they wanted to with Windows servers simply by sending a few URLs./pp class="ArticleBody" page="2""Originally found as an anonymous post in the PacketStorm forums, this resulted in nearly two straight years of mass ownage against Windows web servers," Moore writes./pp class="ArticleBody" page="2"bUpshot:/b Directory traversal opened up a new world for automated attacks that merely had to call a particular URL to do their dirty work./pp class="ArticleBody" page="2"bCode Red: Deadly bug, disgusting sodabr/ Bug identifier:/b MS01-033br/ bDescription:/b Unchecked buffer in index server ISAPI (Internet Server API) extension could enable Web server compromisebr/ bAlias:/b The Code Red bugbr/ bDate published:/b June 18, 2001/pp class="ArticleBody" page="2"What happens when you send a ton of data at a Microsoft Web server?

Because the commands were issued in the context of the system itself, the bug opened up for exploitation virtually all aspects of the server's operation./pp class="ArticleBody" page="2"And exploitation happened, all right, on a a href="http://www.infoworld.com/articles/hn/xml/01/08/10/010810hncodereddsl.html" class="regularArticleU"scale that hadn't been seen before/a./pp class="ArticleBody" page="2"On the afternoon of Friday, July 13, 2001, security engineers at eEye Digital Security received reports of a worm that was spreading rapidly through its customers' networks. Fueled by a limited edition, crimson, caffeinated, high-fructose corn syrup-based beverage, Mark Maiffret and Ryan Permeh spent a weekend reverse-engineering the worm, and alerted the world to its presence./pp class="ArticleBody" page="2"What the worm did was probe vulnerable IIS servers, infect them, and create 100 threads of itself, which then spread to other computers. If the date was between the 20th of the month and the end of the month, it would attempt to spew data at www.whitehouse.gov. Permeh and Maiffret estimated that the worm could infect approximately 500,000 unique IP addresses per day./pp class="ArticleBody" page="2"bUpshot:/b Code Red really drove home the importance of patching bugs soon after Microsoft released the patch, because the patches themselves give malware authors clues to exactly where they should look for new vulnerabilities./pp class="ArticleBody" page="2"bFastest infection./b bEver.br/ Bug identifier:/b MS02-039br/ bDescription:/b Buffer overruns in SQL Server 2000 Resolution Service could enable remote code executionbr/ bAlias:/b The SQL Slammer bugbr/ bDate published:/b July 24, 2002/pp class="ArticleBody" page="2"While technically not an OS bug, the SQL Slammer bug deserves honorary mention due to the sheer velocity with which vulnerable systems were infected. The bug targeted Microsoft's database server. Vulnerable computers were subject to buffer overflows that, if properly crafted, could place commands into memory to cause the targeted system to execute those commands with the permissions of the database service./pp class="ArticleBody" page="2"Patching was complicated by the fact that admins needed to run an earlier patch before they could run the MS02-039 fix. The bug affected primarily corporate server systems, but also affected home users who had MSDE (Microsoft SQL Server Desktop Engine) installed. That made a number of home users, some of whom didn't even know they had MSDE on their machines, unwitting participants in the carnage to come./pp class="ArticleBody" page="2"Because the Slammer worm primarily targeted servers running databases, it didn't infect millions of machines. It did, however, spread rapidly -- so rapidly, in fact, that it had infected roughly 9 out of 10 vulnerable machines within a href="http://www.infoworld.com/articles/hn/xml/03/01/25/030125hnsqlnetupd.html" class="regularArticleU"10 minutes of being released on Jan. 25, 2003/a.
