Data Protection is enabled iPhone
Take security seriously and interested in how to enable data protection on your iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad? The good news is that if you use a passcode, iOS 4 data protections protects the hardware encryption keys on your device, making email, attachments, and 3rd party apps (if they enable it) much more secure. The bad news is, if you updated your iPhone 3GS, iPod touch 3, or original iPad from iOS 3 to iOS 4, data protection might not have been turned on even with the passcode. Not to worry, we'll walk you through all the possibilities, after the break!

How to set a passcode
If you haven't got a passcode lock set up on your iPhone, iPod touch, or iPad, that's the place to start.
Bonus Tip: You can set your passcode lock to automatically erase your device after 10 failed attempts. That's great if you ever lose your device but if you have young children who can get ahold of it, you might find yourself restoring your wiped device with frustrating frequency. Security is constantly at war with convenience, make your choice.
How to set a stronger passcode
With iOS 4 you can switch the passcode from simple 4-digit numeric to full on alphanumeric for seriously stronger protection.
- From the Settings: General: Passcode Lock screen...
- Switch the Simple Passcode toggle to OFF
- Enter your current 4-digit numeric passcode to verify
A combination of numbers, letters, and symbols is good, pseudorandom is even better but the difficulty in remembering it probably outweighs any benefit.
How to check for data protection
Now that your passcode is enabled, check to make sure you have data protection on. (It should be on by default for all iPhone 4, iPod touch 4, and iPad 2 devices, but if you updated your iPhone 3GS, iPod touch 3, or original iPad from iOS 3 to iOS 4 it might not be.)
If it's there, you're good to go. If not, keep reading!
How to enable data protection if it's not on by default
Remember, this is only for iPhone 3GS (2009), iPod touch 3 (2009), and original iPad (2010) if "Data protection enabled" isn't showing up on the Settings screen.
Make sure you backup your device before restoring, then choose restore from backup to get all your data back onto your device. Once it's done, sync and then check the Setting screen again to make sure data protection is now enabled.

Speaking of hiding things (besides Iraq data)...
by politics_junkieThe National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) has to date failed to produce a congressionally-mandated report on climate change that was due in 2004. Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) has called the failure an "obfuscation."
* The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) recently announced plans to close several libraries which were used by researchers and scientists. The agency called its decision a cost-cutting measure, but a 2004 report showed that the facilities actually brought the EPA a $7.5 million surplus annually. (Thanks to Mark B. below.)

Independent scientific research on Gulf oil leak
by CandidusLeak is lacking money
This is a very bad sign. If the Obama administration is serious about suing BP and other oil companies involved in the leak, this problem has to be resolved quickly. BP is indeed paying some scientists to do research into the problem but somehow the administration allowed BP to include language that may not allow that information to be made public. (Whoever allowed that should be sent packing.) How is it possible to make a case when there's little scientific research to support your case? NY Times:The only federal agency to distribute any significant grant money for oil spill research, the National Science Foundation, is out of money until the next fiscal year begins Oct
