Evolving regulatory compliance requirements can be a major headache for the IT teams responsible for identity and access management (IAM). Sarbanes Oxley, the wide range of privacy regulations and other federal requirements, have transformed IAM from a problem that keeps the chief information security officer up at night into a true business concern shared by all company executives. Knowing who has access to what information within your organization - and whether they should have that access - is a deceptively complex issue that has the potential to drive a wedge between even the healthiest of relationships across the business.
On the surface, it may seem as though the nuts and bolts of IAM should reside in a company's IT department. This is because there are many islands of information stored in databases across the business that are managed and administered by the IT team. In addition, employee access to particular areas of the network is usually enabled and revoked by IT.
The problem is that these functions are just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to effectively managing your identity governance program.
IAM Is Driven by Business Requirements
It has long been recognized that identity and access management must be process-driven if it is to gain any longer-term traction within an organization. In fact, Gartner highlighted the importance of process in a 2005 research report, stating that "Identity and access management is not only a set of technologies but also a set of processes that address fundamental issues about handling the strategic asset of identity in any enterprise. Establishing a long-term solution for managing identity requires understanding these basic processes."
Why is the process so important?
Any change to the identity of an employee is triggered by the business. The identity attributes of an employee are created when they are hired (onboarding), changed when they are promoted or assigned new responsibilities (change in responsibility), and must be restricted when they leave the organization (offboarding).
A strong partnership between IT and the company's business divisions is essential to ensure that:
- There is a process to capture all of the changes that happen to the identity of an employee during their life cycle within an organization.
- The business has established and approved the policies under which employee access will be granted or denied.
- Changes are processed within the identified framework (i.e., no one is given access "through the backdoor").
By involving business owners early in the development of your IAM program - including human resources as it traditionally "owns" the bulk of employee attributes, like name, address, social security number and banking information - companies will improve the chances of executing their IAM goals on time and on budget.
Create a Culture of Continuous Compliance
Traditional approaches to identity and access governance take a reactive approach to meeting compliance requirements. If the sole measure of success is the ability to generate an attestation report, the company will always be in "firefighting" mode. It is far better to prevent access violations from happening than trying to chase them down once they occur. At that point, the security breach has already taken place, inappropriate access has already been granted and the damage has been done.
The goal of an effective identity governance initiative should be to ensure that employees are only given the access that is assigned to them under a clearly defined set of rules in accordance with company policy. On the other hand, requests for access that would violate a policy (e.g., separation of duties) should be denied and the appropriate manager should be alerted that a request has been made that would violate company policy. By working with business divisions to set these proactive policy parameters up front, the company is able to create a true culture of continuous compliance.
Your IAM Program Should Deliver More than Compliance
Compliance is a necessary evil. However, if handled correctly, compliance can also create the opportunity for meaningful efficiency improvements and cost reductions throughout an organization.
By managing the identity of your employees centrally and establishing proper business processes to manage identities, companies are able to:
- Shorten new employee onboarding time to less than a day: It is important to capture the primary attributes needed to create an employee identity during the onboarding process and feed this information to all related systems (e.g., payroll, HR, Active Directory, SAP). This approach gives employees the access and assets they need to be productive on their first day with the company.
- Eliminate repetitive manual data entry: A large Canadian retailer recently identified more than 90 attributes that make up the identity of their employees. More important, it also realized that these attributes were being manually re-entered up to ten times for different purposes across the company. Once it began managing their identity administration centrally, the retailer was able to capture data with no re-entry, thereby eliminating hundreds of redundant entries per employee.
- Lower administrative costs: Improving time to productivity, streamlining administrative functions, and simplifying audits will result in millions of dollars saved, depending on the size of the organization.
Learn from Past Failures
Many organizations have been down the IAM solution path before with varying degrees of success. The problem-solving responsibility has traditionally been handed off to - you guessed it - the IT department, which typically attempts to solve the issue via technological solutions. As discussed earlier, the challenge is that the IT department is trying to solve the issue when it doesn't own the information or the process. Attempting an IT-only fix, centered around third-party technology and buy-in from other departments, leads to annoyance at best and losses in time and capital at worse.
In spite of these challenges, there is hope for organizations looking for the Holy Grail of IAM. Below are some best practices organizations can employ to improve their internal IAM processes:
- Solicit business involvement early: IT cannot solve the problem alone. They're the custodians and the business is the end user. IT must engage with business and HR in lay language and find common denominators.
- Create an identity warehouse: Conduct a thorough cleaning of identity data housed by various internal systems so there is easy reconciliation and clear visibility into access granted to employees.
- Fix the controls: Implement procedures early in the business process (i.e., during onboarding), and make sure they are followed, to derive the most value from your identity and access management program.
- Process, process, process: IT spends a significant portion of its time and budget on the dreary work of managing identities. IT and the business divisions can realize measurable benefits from implementing processes that drive down wasted time and money.
- Go paperless: Going paperless with IAM liberates employees from the stacks of paper on their desks. An electronic IAM system can lighten the load across divisions by identifying holdups and speeding timelines.
- Prevention is the key: Get away from the "putting out the fires" mentality. True process control means that fires are prevented.
Approaching IAM in a process-oriented way allows organizations to deal with potential problems proactively. When implemented properly, these best practices can help streamline IAM processes across all organizational departments, resulting in shortened onboarding, reduced costs, increased efficiency and regulatory compliance. Those are goals the whole company can get behind.

text: Our project uses three Sony DFW-SX900 Cameras (SPI cameras) and two Sony DFW-V500 cameras (NAV cameras) on a single IEEE 1394 bus. Each camera is hooked up to sync lines. Our goal is to capture synchronized images from each set of cameras (SPI and NAV cameras). We have two separate processes running (1 for the nav cameras and 1 for the spi cameras). Both processes can capture images successfully using the dma and trigger when they are running by themselves. When both processes are running and capturing we are locking up the system (even when using the smallest resolution (320x240). We have one IEEE1394 adaptor in which the nav cameras are on port one and the spi cameras are on port 2. Does anyone know if the video1394 driver supports multiple processes using it to capture images? The dc1394_dma_setup_capture function looks like this for both sets of cameras: dc1394_dma_setup_capture (handle, id, iso_channel, format, mode,SPEED_400, framerate, 4/* ring buffer length*/, 1 /*drop frames*/, "/dev/video1394/0", dc1394_cameacapture) Each camera is assigned its own iso_channel. The nav cameras use channels 0 and 1. The spi cameras use 2,3 and 4. We are using Redhat 9 kernel 2.4.25 and libdc1394-0.9.3 Any advise or information is appreciated. --Dave

Oz the Great and Powerful just rubs me the wrong way, and I doubt it has anything to do with the intentions of the people behind it. There's a part of me that, despite how hard I try to just judge the concept on its own merits, is put off by this re-folding of Oz story. Dorothy defeats a formidable female foe at the behest of a benevolent, if somewhat cryptic (seriously, Glinda, we couldn't just explain the shoes at the get go and let her choose?) female figure of power. It's not like Wicked isn't already a hit broadway production, so I'm a little leery of a movie that plucks the only male character of power (and let's remember that it was a power based on illusion and deceit, however well-meaning) from the story of The Wizard of Oz movie and reforms the setting to be about a bunch of powerful women begging him to solve their problem and telling him he's a fabled hero. That said, I don't expect anyone to agree with me, trailers are not the full measure of plot, the movie still has a bunch of great actresses in it, it looks like it'll be a delight to the eyes at the very least, and I'm stupidly happy to see the porcelain people from the book get their due in a movie adaptation. What do you guys think?Read More

Solid fuel central heating. immersion heater, washing maching, small fridge freezer, shower and bathroom, all beds/mattress are NEW downstairs. Radio (there is no TV) - there is NO INTERNET ACCESS. There is bedding and towels which guests are welcome to borrow.
Guest Access
Heat is traditional solid fuel peat (located in the back yard) dug from local bog. There is coal as well.
You need a car in this part of the country - it is very rural and too far to walk to the local village although you can cycle (using one of the bikes in the shed however I cannot guarantee that they won't have a flat tyre!)
Close to one of the best pubs in Ireland in Ballylongford! 10 minute drive away.
The closest towns are Listowel and Ballybunion which has a STUNNING beach and brilliant golf course. The Cliffs of Moher are an hour's drive but a sight worth visiting. Dingle is a 45 minute drive and the Ring of Kerry is a 30 minute drive. We are close to Tarbert from where you can catch a ferry to County Clare.
Airports: Shannon (1 hour drive) or Kerry Faranfore (45 mins) you will need to hire a car unless you drive & ferry it. The drive from Dublin is around 3 hours.
Interaction with Guests
My neighbour will come in every day and can cook for you if you wish for a small additional cost.
For a small price you get a complete cottage with two comfy bedrooms, a garden, a torf-oven, a kitchen and beautful landscape. What else do you want?
Its kind of remote and a bit hard to find, but once you are there (and got welcomed by the extremely friendly houskeeper Helen) you dont wanna leave anymore.
Great little hide away in north Kerry that was just like stepping back in time. Well prepared and looked after while there by neighbour Helen... a lovely woman who really added to a very positive experience. Particularly loved the turf fire range.... wish I could have stayed more than just one night!
Casa sencilla situada en una zona tranquila, es necesario tener coche. El pueblo más cercano está a 5 min en coche y tiene todos los servicios. Ha sido nuestra base para visitar la península de Dingle y la zona del anillo de Kerry y no están demasiado lejos, aunque las carreteras no son muy buenas.
Helen, la vecina, es muy amable y te ayuda en todo lo que puedas necesitar.
This place was pure delight. A simple cottage in the Irish countryside (apparently once home to a family with 13 children), it has everything you need for a restful stay. Neighbour Helen is attentive and good-humoured; her hands-on lesson in building a peat fire was a highlight of the stay. An excellent value for the price, too.
Accurate as described - rustic farmhouse with simple accommodations. A quick drive into town, but a little too far to walk.
Helen, next door, was very friendly and helpful in getting settled and making us feel comfortable. A nice relaxing farm experience in Kerry.
We enjoyed our night at Anne's house. It is a nice place to stay, we had enough space for the four of us and also enjoyed walking in the neighborhood a lot.
we're stayed only one night but it was a good stay it was very quiet. helen the neighbour was very kind and helpfull.
A good value for money to recommand

by sharmilla ganesan (a star online exclusive)
Think the only way you could plough through Shakespeare's plays is with a literature degree – barring which, a very large cup of strong coffee? Think again. His original works may be a tad challenging for novices, but his stories, themes and characters are so universal they've been reimagined, redefined and revisited in practically every way possible.
The Bard must have done something right to have his works still fascinating us 400 years after they were penned!
To celebrate World Book Day on April 23 and Shakespeare's 450th birthday, we look at a selection of modern books that owe much of their inspiration to his works. And with the list covering everything from comics and sci-fi to chick lit and young adult, you'll never have to worry about Shakespeare being "boring" or unrelatable again.
Romeo and Juliet: The War by Max Work, Stan Lee, Terry Dougas and Skan Srisuwan
This gorgeously-illustrated graphic novel sets Romeo and Juliet in a future where the Montagues and Capulets are two warrior clans tasked with protecting the empire of Verona, but have now turned on each other. The Montagues are powerful cyborgs made from artificial DNA, while the Capulets are genetically-enhanced humans with great speed and agility. When Romeo of the Montagues and Juliet of the Capulets fall in love, however, the safety of the whole empire is threatened.
The Madness of Love by Katharine Davies
This humorous love story is a modern take on Twelfth Night. Valentina, devastated after her twin brother abandons her, masquerades as a gardener to the lovesick Leo, who is pining after Melody. She, however, is in no mood for love, as she mourns over her brother's suicide. As Valentina starts falling for Leo even while helping him woo Melody, we're treated to a tale of mistaken identities, unexpected desires, and finding love where you least expect it.
Exposure by Mal Peet
This young adult novel transplants Othello to modern South America, and revolves around black football player Otello and his relationship with white pop star Desmerelda. The glare of the spotlight, the racism Othello faces, and the schemes of those close to him, however, unravel their lives, as the story weaves together a story of prejudice, desire and betrayal.
The Taming of Lola: A Shrew Story by Ellen Weiss and Jerry Smath (illustrator)
It's not every day that a children's book can take on The Taming of the Shrew, but this adorable one manages to do so with oodles of style. Little Lola the shrew is a meanie who always gets her way, and her family has just about had it with her whining. Things go topsy-turvy, however, when her cousin Lester comes to stay. Not only is he even meaner than her, he manages to get special treatment from her family!
Fool by Christopher Moore
This bawdy, hilarious novel narrates the story of King Lear from the point of view of the King's court jester. Filled with sex, murder, violence and betrayal, this is the raunchy version of events that you never knew existed, but will have you laughing out loud all the way to the last page.
Confessions of a Triple Shot Betty by Jody Gehrman
Geena is looking forward to working the summer at the Triple Shot Betty coffee shop with her best friend Amber and her cousin Hero. Drama and hijinks ensue, however, when not only do Amber and Hero hate each other on sight, but Amber falls in love with the rogueish John, who appears to have the hots for Hero instead! Meanwhile, Hero wants Claudio, and just as Geena is about to give up on them all, she finds her own tangle with high school rival Ben. Now, this is Much Ado About Nothing for the espresso age.
Macbeth: The Graphic Novel by Arthur Byron Cover and Tony Leonard Tamai (illustrator)
The Japanese manga style is used to reinvent Macbeth as a space opera, complete with robots, dragons and letters that arrive over computers. The intriguing themes of ambition, betrayal and guilt, however, are kept very much intact, and brought to life by the stylish artwork.
The Dead Fathers Club by Matt Haig
The Kingdom of Denmark is replaced by an English pub in this quirky retelling of Hamlet, where 11-year-old Phillip is visited by the ghost of his father and asked to avenge his murder. According to the recently-deceased dad, he was done in by Phillip's uncle, who apparently aims to marry Phillip's widowed mother and take over the family-owned pub. As Phillip goes about plotting revenge, he must also contend with adolescence, schoolyard bullies, and the distractions of his girlfriend, Leah.

Here's a good one to reflect on:
I'm attempting to make a solver for this game. The paperwork is done (reading an initial file with a variable number of columns and rows. It's assumed the input file follows the rules of the game so the game is always solvable. Take your time to read the game rules.
I've taken care of the data structure which I think will suit best:
struct aSquare { int verticalSum; int horizontalSum; int value; }
And made an "array" of these dynamically to work on. I made it so that the black squares have value of -1 and white squares (the actual solution squares) initialize at 0. You can also get the position of each aSquare struct from the array easily, no need to make additional struct fields for it.
Now the algorithm ... How in the world will I conciliate all these sums and find a general way that will solve all types of grids. I been struggling with this all afternoon to no avail.
Help is appreciated, have fun!
*EDIT: I just realized the actual link I posted has some tips regarding solving techniques. I will still keep this up to see what people come up with.

Video: Film depicts a day in the life of a cop
Officers use statistics to describe an average day on the force
The Halstead Gazette
ESSEX, United Kingdom — A brand new film showing the wide range of work performed by Essex Police has been released.
Entitled "Essex Police: Did You Know?", the film features officers, PCSOs and police staff from all across the force.
Chief Constable Jim Barker-McCardle said: "I'm very proud to lead the men and women of Essex Police, who work tirelessly to protect us day and night, every day of the year. Whilst much police work takes place very much in full view, other crucial work is necessarily conducted out of the public eye. All this police activity is essential to keeping us safe.

It wasn't too long ago that Dennis Seidenberg was still an unsigned free agent looking for a job in training camp.
He was 27 years old, had played multiple seasons in Philadelphia, Phoenix and Carolina, yet he didn't find a home for the 2009-10 season until he inked a one-year deal with the Panthers. Keep in mind that this was months after he was a major reason the Hurricanes had eliminated the Bruins in the Eastern Conference semifinals.
It was an uncertain time in Seidenberg's career, but that all changed later in the season when Peter Chiarelli positively fleeced the Panthers in a deal that landed the Bruins Seidenberg and Matt Bartkowski for Craig Weller, Byron Bitz and a second-round pick.
Since coming to the Bruins, there's been little uncertainty for Seidenberg. With the exception of a lacerated tendon in his forearm back in April of 2010, he's been as stable as a table during the regular season and has annually been a postseason beast for the Bruins.
"Everything took off here," Seidenberg said Thursday. "Everything basically started here. I finally found a spot where things worked out the way I had always imagined. That's why I'm really happy that it happened."
So maybe that's why, at age 32, Seidenberg was comfortable with forgoing free agency and his last potential big payday in order to stay in Boston on a four-year, $16 million extension. In signing his new deal (which also contains a no-trade clause in the first two and a half seasons), Seidenberg left money on the table, but he'd rather do that than leave a good situation.
"I have a lot of fun playing here, and that's important," he said. "The coaches have trust in me, and that's the most important thing I think.
"I mean, if I go somewhere else for a lot of money and things don't work out that way, it's always -- I think the on-ice situation is the most important part. We have a good team here and in the future I think we're going to be good for a lot of years."
Not only has Boston been a perfect fit for Seidenberg, but Seidenberg's been a perfect fit for the Bruins. In addition to playing enormous minutes for the B's, he's been one half of the Bruins' annual super-pairing with Zdeno Chara that helped the B's win the Stanley Cup three years ago and almost win another last year.
"You heard me say around when we made that trade that his hockey sense was improving," Chiarelli said. "And it's only improved since he's been with us also. He clears pucks on the wall, that's hard, you have to be strong.
"You saw him in that series against us and the whole playoff year that year and then with us. It's like he plays like a fullback with the skills to clear the puck too. He clears the lane and he's a real strong player. It's hard to find those guys, hard to find the guys with strength like that, that can clear pucks like that and can still make plays."
Chiarelli knew he had gotten a good one in Seidenberg. That's why he locked him up on a four-year, $13 million deal before the 2010-11 season and it's why he kept Seidenberg in the Bruins' plans when he could have tried to get younger and cheaper.
After all, both Torey Krug and Bartkowski are young, capable left-shot defensemen. Bartkowski could be playing top-4 in other places around the league, but he began the season as the team's seventh defenseman.
So with Seidenberg's deal set to expire after the season, did Chiarelli consider just letting him walk and going younger?
"Not really," Chiarelli said. "D like Dennis are hard to find. I think he's been so good for us. The way he plays, it's hard to find. We got D in the depth in the pipeline that have bits and pieces of their game that play like that, but not the whole package that Dennis has. So I really didn't.
"I just felt he was in super condition. He has -- knock on wood -- very rarely been injured, and he plays heavy, heavy minutes."
Those heavy minutes present perhaps the only risk the B's take with this deal. Seidenberg will be 37 at the end of his deal, and there figures to be quite a bit of tread on those tires by the final season of the pact. Yet Seidenberg's conditioning is indeed top notch, so perhaps he, like Zdeno Chara, will be more capable than others as he ages into his mid-30s.
The no-trade clause in Seidenberg's new deal is an assurance worth throwing in if it means getting a defenseman as good as Seidenberg for $4 million a year, as he could have easily gotten $5 million-plus on the open market.
Lots of players say that it isn't about the money, but Seidenberg proved with this deal that winning and being in the right city are his priorities. The Bruins will be better for it.
"I think it's a deal that works out for both sides," Seidenberg said. "I want to be here, they wanted me here and both sides gave a little bit. I think at the end, it's good. I'm really happy to be here for another five years."

Chiarelli talked about avoiding some of the overly negative feedback he gets while realizing that the team does have real issues. He discusses what went down at the trade deadline and if he was happy with the outcome, Lucic having a down year and underperforming, the salary cap and if he considers it as big of an issue as it's been made out to be and what the future holds for the team.
It's a big hour #2 for the Sunday Skate dudes - they talk about the B's defenseman and what the future looks like at that position, with both moves the team can make and younger guys in the AHL.

I hear ya on the scuffs with the psp its drives me nutz too.
ya the same with the psp dude its annoyin and also the "analong" nut on it just pissed me off, and after a while my thumb started to hurt a lot
Not Available!!!
Perhaps they designed the PSP well if you're reluctant to put it down. Think about it that way...
Tengoku Gold is far better than Rhythm heaven, something just doesnt feel right about Rhythm heaven.
Great video unclejohn I totally agree with you on the PSP, there are good games if you can find them but the design and setup of the actual system is pretty bad. And now that I take another look at my PSP I do notice some strange scratches on mine as well. Which is weird because I keep my PSP in a soft case.
I also am totally excited for Muramasa, I love 2D Sprites, and the way the movement of the characters and how they attack look. I myself am doing some video game related work and I plan on making a type of 2D fighter or RPG using that similar style - because really we need more games like that. I'll look forward to your future videos!
I dont find anything that makes me say "Wow! thats very Stylized" about Muramasa.
its not that special.
and i hope your PSP gets more scratches and smudges, so you may feel my pain!!
You posted this vblog in the Muramasa: Demon Blade Forum, for simply briefly mentioning the game at the very end of your blog : /
Thanks, Ossi! I'm glad you liked my vid!
Wow, Scot. You have the most jaded view on games EVER. I guess your username should be Jadedwiz! ZING!
@Linkyshinks: Yeah, I'm just trying to show my anticipation for it... Jeez. Plus, I did talk about it a bit more, but like I said, the vid cut off a bunch at the end for some reason, hence the abrupt ending.
Hmm... the choppy video is a little distracting. Do you have any idea what caused it?

I like the idea of being able to hand-pick which order you would fight the Elite 4, although to be honest I wouldn't really mind if Gamefreak decided to change it back to the old system, I always have checked which Pokemon the Elite Four used beforehand anyway so it wouldn't matter to me haha.
I understand the point of making the levels of the Elite Four higher as you progressively beat them but it wouldn't make much logical sense having a member of the Elite Four have lower levels in one playthrough just because you picked it first but then have them have higher levels in someone else's playthrough just because they picked him/her last. That kind of leveling thing would be more logical in the not-picking-which-one-to-face Elite Four system.

HoopsHype Bill Russell rumors
Cousy lives in Worcester during the summer, but he winters in Florida so he watches his share of Heat games on television and he was impressed when Whiteside came off the bench to record a triple-double on Jan. 25 against the Bulls with 14 points, 13 rebounds and a franchise-record 12 blocks. "I have never said this in the 40 years since I retired," Cousy said in a recent telephone interview, "but he is the first big guy, not (Patrick) Ewing, (Hakeem) Olajuwon, Shaq (O'Neal), who reminds me defensively and on the boards of Russell. He runs the floor well, he has excellent timing, he blocks shots and keeps them in play the way Russell did." Worcester Telegram & Gazette
"That's a great honor," Whiteside said before the Celtics hosted Miami Wednesday. "Everybody knows that Bill Russell is probably one of the best shot blockers that ever lived. That's really a big honor that he thinks of me that way." Worcester Telegram & Gazette
"He was everything to us," said Jim Tucker, 82, who was in attendance last year when a statue of Lloyd was unveiled at West Virginia State, Lloyd's alma mater, in the presence of such immortals as Bill Russell and Oscar Robertson. The Post-Standard
"I'm not concerned by that," Rivers said. "I've seen Shaq [Shaquille O'Neal] win titles, Bill Russell win titles, Dennis Rodman win titles. So there's a lot of guys that have missed free throws and won a lot of NBA titles, so that's not a concern for me at all. What D.J. does for our team is far more valuable than those missed free throws. "I can't remember the last time he didn't [have energy for us]. He plays with great spirit and plays hard pretty much every night and he does everything right for us. I agree with Jeff Van Gundy, he should just go walk out on the All-Star Game and go play. Just start playing. Nobody's going to tell him to get off [the court]. So I think he should just go do it." Boston Globe
Ryan Glasspiegel: Do you think that Boston gets a bad rap as a racist city? Bob Ryan: I think Boston deserved its rap in the 50's, 60's, and even into the 70's. I definitely think that there were problems with black athletes. We all know the well-documented stuff about Bill Russell trying to buy a house and having things smeared on his wall. We all know that that there were unhappy Boston athletes such as Reggie Smith that had every reason to be upset. I know it's evolved into something that is much better. There's been no problem for any athlete going back to Mo Vaughn, and even earlier. They'll all tell you, "Boston — what's the problem? There is no problem. No more than any other city." But yes, it was a racist city and it's always been affected by the fact that the Red Sox were the last team to integrate in MLB. Tom Yawkey did hire racist people and they had a strong element of racism in the Red Sox organization for way too long. No question about that. The Big Lead
After his day shift at Alcatraz, Hernan attended night school at USF and saw many of the Dons' wins. "The whole world knew that Bill Russell was not an ordinary basketball player," Hernan said. "If ever there was a team leader, he was it. K.C. Jones was right behind him." That season, the Dons became the first team in NCAA history to go undefeated, finishing 29-0, and Russell posted 26 points and 27 rebounds in the final against Iowa, an 83-71 win, giving the Dons back-to-back titles. The Chronicle called them "the finest undergraduate team since Naismith first hung the peach basket." Utah coach Jack Gardner called them "the greatest team ever assembled." And the convicts of Alcatraz wanted to meet them. Boston Globe
For the visit, the team dressed sharply, in jackets and ties. "The warden told us, 'When you walk through the cell block, they're going to announce you're walking through,' " Boldt said. The reaction was something the players wouldn't forget. "They all cheered us," Boldt said. "They said, 'That's the way to go, Dons!' "They treated us like we were gods. I'm not kidding. Like rock stars. That was it. "They all cheered and clapped their hands. They said to Russell, 'That's the way to go there, big black brother!' They cheered us and they were very happy to have us there." Convicts fired away with basketball questions and comments. One told Farmer, "I remember against SMU, you had 26 points in the Final Four. You were a great player." But they were truly fond of Russell, who averaged 20.6 points and 21 rebounds that season. "They looked at Bill Russell like he was God," Boldt said. Said Farmer, "He was very popular." Boston Globe
So the day Russell & Co. strolled through marked a true rarity: a memory convicts could savor. Which makes its lack of publicity all the more mysterious. For reasons no one can quite explain, the visit by the most popular sports team in the area — and the most dominant college basketball team in the country — stayed hidden, it appears, until Luke mentioned it halfway through his self-published book, "Entombed in Alcatraz," released in 2011. "Everyone was startled to see them," Luke wrote, "but it was a nice change." A change that, however brief, allowed these notorious convicts to feel and act like regular joes, connected through something that has connected so many, no matter how different, for so long: sports. There is more to their trip, and to basketball's story on Alcatraz. Radios. Gambling. Racial tension. A convict vote. Basketball goals erected in the recreation yard. Clint Eastwood. And, improbably, Rajon Rondo. And none of it would have unfolded without the warden, Paul Madigan. Boston Globe
David Stern was so afraid of inviting notoriously cantankerous Bill Russell to Stern's induction ceremony into the Basketball Hall of Fame, the former NBA commissioner had a mutual friend ask the Boston Celtic legend. Russell always felt that black players and coaches were given short shrift in the Hall of Fame, and hadn't been there in 40 years. He refused to attend both the ceremony when his No. 6 jersey was retired in 1972 by the Celtics and his own induction into the Hall of Fame in 1975. New York Post
Boston Celtics officials say NBA Hall of Famer Bill Russell is doing OK after collapsing during a speaking engagement near Lake Tahoe. Team spokeswoman Heather Walker says the 80-year-old felt faint after the Thursday morning fall at the Hyatt Regency resort in Incline Village but was scheduled to fly out Thursday night. USA Today Sports
Witness Michael Rooney told The Associated Press that Russell was telling a story about Wilt Chamberlain to a roomful of Konica Minolta employees when he started to sway at the podium and then fell backward. Rooney says Russell seemed to be conscious as hotel personnel and first responders came to his aid. The meeting was cut short and attendees left. USA Today Sports
Scott Isaacs: UPDATE: Bill Russell collapsed while giving a speech in Lake Tahoe. #Celtics tell me he is doing OK and will likely fly out tonight #wcvb Twitter
Russell is recovering at a hospital near Lake Tahoe after collapsing during a speaking gig early this morning ... the Boston Celtics tell TMZ Sports. Russell was doing a speaking engagement when he "fell faint" ... and collapsed. We're told an ambulance was called to the scene and transported the 80-year-old to a nearby hospital. The Celtics tell us Russell is being treated at the hospital -- and is already starting to feel better. He's hoping to fly out of Lake Taho tonight ... and the rep says right now it looks like he'll be able to do that. TMZ.com
Since then, the question "Who's on your Mount Rushmore?" has been asked of just about every basketball mind you can name. On Monday in Milwaukee, Abdul-Jabbar fielded it during a press conference before the Jazz and the Bucks tipped off. "It's impossible," he said of picking just four players. "I don't know what LeBron was thinking. He didn't even see Bill Russell play. He has no idea what Bill Russell did. Eleven championships in 13 years? Eight in a row? LeBron isn't going to get anywhere near that. I don't get it. And here he didn't want Bill Russell on his Rushmore. I think today's players have a very limited perspective on the game." "LeBron has to re-think that," he added. "He needs to go and do some research and watch some old film, and hopefully he'll be impressed." Salt Lake Tribune
Jot Down magazine interview: Joe Arlauckas on Bill Russell when he was the Sacramento Kings head coach: "Bill Russell was a guy who didn't have any (expletive) clue about coaching. He was a legend, but come on man... he was lucky he had assistant Willis Reed. At the end they gave him a front office job because he had no idea. The first day he came to practice, he sat on the stands and fell asleep. Two hours later he woke up and said to Willis: 'Hey, it's 11.30. Quick, wrap up practice, I have to meet a friend to play golf'. This is heavy stuff." TuBasket.com
Ethan J. Skolnick: LeBron: "Obviously, it's the utmost respect for Bill Russell, and what he's been able to do. Not only on the floor, but off the floor." Twitter @EthanJSkolnick

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Bid to seek heritage designation for boreal forest nears completion
THE final pieces of a deal to co-manage a vast tract of boreal forest with aboriginal groups is expected to be announced this morning, Conservation and Water Stewardship Minister Gord Mackintosh confirmed Sunday.
Lake Winnipeg First Nations Little Grand Rapids and Pauingassi have approved land-management plans with the province.
The agreement clears the path to proceed with a decade-long bid to get a huge slice of northern Manitoba known as the Pimachiowin Aki area designated a United Nations United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) world heritage site.
It also comes as the aboriginal Idle No More movement and its allies take on a range of fronts, including the threat of blockades this week.
Recent budget bills violate a constitutional right to consultation and infringe on First Nations' independence on matters of the environment and band autonomy, supporters say.
The First Nations on board are Poplar River, Bloodvein, Little Grand Rapids and Pauingassi in Manioba and Pikangikum in northwestern Ontario.
Pauingassi territory makes up 3,100 square kilometres and Grand Rapids 4,700 square kilometres of the 43,000-square-kilometre area, the largest tract of boreal forest in North America to be recognized as jointly controlled with aboriginal people.
The Manitoba and Ontario governments have passed legislation to protect the site.
The nomination package was delivered to UN officials in Paris by Pimachiowin Corp. in January 2012.
It is currently being evaluated and is expected to be on the agenda of UNESCO's World Heritage Committee, which meets in Cambodia in June 2013.
"This is a historic achievement for aboriginal empowerment in Canada," said Mackintosh.
The protection is recognized in provincial legislation in Manitoba but not yet in Ontario.
The co-management deal gives First Nations greater say in development of their traditional territories.
"What it means for us is we are able to protect our land and protect our water. We'll have a say in managing our territory," said Augustine Keeper, the Pimachiowin Aki member from Little Grand Rapids.
The deal also protects the water that flows into Lake Winnipeg from the east, which could be critical to restore the environmental health of ecologically fragile Lake Winnipeg, nominated days ago for "Threatened Lake of the Year" by the Global Nature Fund.
Environmental groups hailed the development. Longtime supporters the Pew Environmental Group called the agreement a model for co-management of land resources with aboriginal peoples.
A book with maps, images and stories profiling the proposed UNESCO site is now available at McNally Robinson Booksellers.
