Christopher Soghoian Sports Illustrated's Ultimate Playlist - More Sports By Greg Kelly Music and sports are so intertwined it's hard to imagine one without the other. Boston fans sing Tessie and Sweet Caroline to rally the Red Sox. The Alan Parsons Project greets the Bulls. It works the other way too: Sports is infused in music as much as music is infused in sports. That is the rich vein from which SI has mined its first collection of Sports' Greatest Hits.

Columbia Records Bob Dylan, 1963 "This is a song about a boxer," the always enigmatic Dylan said when he introduced this ballad at his landmark Lincoln Center performance in 1964. Moore was a 29-year-old featherweight champion from Springfield, Ohio, when he defended his title against a heavy-punching Cuban émigré named Sugar Ramos on March 21, 1963. In the song, which Dylan performed for the first time less than three weeks after the fight, several characters deny their culpability in Moore's death.

Law Enforcement & Hacking: When Cops Control Your Webcam YaleISP: Without any public debate or explicit congressional authorization, US law enforcement agencies are now in the hacking business. Federal law enforcement agencies have acquired sophisticated tools which they can, and regularly do use to hack into the computers of targets, remotely enabling webcams, turning on microphones, and downloading documents and other files from the infected computers. Less sophisticated, off-the-shelf hacking and surveillance tools will inevitably be purchased by local and state law enforcement agencies, if they don’t already have them. The serious legal, policy and technology issues associated with use of such hacking tools is the focus of this two-panel conference at Yale Law School; Levinson Auditorium. Moderator: Jennifer Valentino-Devries, The Wall Street Journal Panel 1: The Hacking Technologies Used by Law Enforcement Matt Blaze, Associate Professor, University of Pennsylvania Panel 2: The Legal and Policy Implications of Hacking by Law Enforcement
