From the actions they are taking, it is clear that CIOs want to make a more strategic impact on their organisations. From a career perspective our survey suggests that roles that provide them with the opportunity to do this are exactly what they are looking for. This should give pause for thought to Boards and business executives - are they getting the best out of their IT leaders in terms of the contribution they can make inside and outside of the business? Equally, CIOs should consider the role they can play in proactively making this happen to give them the best opportunity for a fulfilling career.

Are the Chicago Bulls primed for a deep playoff run?
Conventional wisdom says they do not have the offensive talent needed to advance in the postseason. On the surface, that assessment is correct when you take into consideration that they average just 93.6 points per game, which puts them at the bottom of the league in this category. However, things are not always as black and white as they seem and there are few reasons why a trip to the Eastern Conference Finals is not out of the question for this team.
Ability to succeed despite loss of key personnel
The 2013-14 season was supposed to mark the return of the team's marquee player in Derrick Rose, who sat out last year with a torn ACL in his left knee. But 10 games into the season, Rose suffered another season-ending injury when he tore the meniscus in his right knee against the Portland Trail Blazers on Nov. 22 (see the video clip below).
The Bulls went on to lose that game 98-95, snapping a five-game winning streak.
Chicago's season went into a tailspin over the next several weeks as the team produced only eight victories in the next 23 contests—giving them a 14-18 record in early January. Then, on Jan. 7, the team suffered another setback as Luol Deng, who was often referred to as the glue that held the team together by head coach Tom Thibodeau, was dealt to the Cleveland Cavaliers after reportedly turning down a three-year extension worth $30 million.
At that point, some of the talk around town began to focus on whether the Bulls should tank the season to improve their chances of securing a high lottery pick in the upcoming draft. As you can imagine, this was the furthest thought from the minds of proud players such as Joakim Noah, Taj Gibson and Jimmy Butler. Not only did the team refuse to feed into that kind of talk, they began doing something that didn't seem feasible—winning games, and a lot of them.
In fact, since the Deng trade, the Bulls have compiled a 34-16 record following their loss the Charlotte Bobcats on Apr. 16—enabling them to finish in fourth in the conference playoff race.
This is no small feat considering where the team was coming into 2014.
Peaking at the right time
After the Miami Heat and the Indiana Pacers faced off in the Eastern Conference Finals last year, most people expected these two teams to square off again in the Eastern Conference Finals this season, and rightfully so. However, while both teams finished in the top two spots as expected, neither club has played that well as of late.
If you don't believe me, take a look at these numbers: Coming into March, the No. 1 seeded Pacers were 44-13, but they have won just 12 times in their last 25 outings. The Miami Heat came into March with a 41-13 record, but have posted just 13 wins in their last 28 games, including three consecutive losses to the Atlanta Hawks, Washington Wizards and the Philadelphia 76ers, per Joe Cowley of the Chicago Sun-Times.
Meanwhile, the Bulls are 16-8 over the same stretch of time and have won eight of their last 10 contests. These numbers are important because the teams that are playing well heading into postseason generally have a better chance of putting together a solid playoff run. With the best two teams not playing in top form, it shouldn't be a surprise if the Bulls were able to beat either of them in a seven-game series en route to the conference finals.
Tough-minded, confident approach
The Bulls have certainly enjoyed a successful season, but their approach to each game does not change regardless of the opponent.
As ESPN Chicago's Nick Friedell explains, Taj Gibson offered this perspective with regards to the upcoming playoffs:
"We really can't look forward to the future. You've got to look at who's in front of you. Because any kind of little thing teams can feed off of, they'll use it against you. We don't want to give anybody any kind of extra confidence, any kind of extra juices. We're just focused on ourselves, just getting ready to play some tough-nosed, (rugged) basketball. We understand the stakes. We understand what it's about."
In addition to that, the Bulls believe in themselves as well as the principles instilled in the players by coach Thibodeau.
That sentiment is reflected in the following statement by Jimmy Butler, per ESPN:
"It really don't matter who we play. We think we can beat anybody, so whoever we match up against, we're going to take that matchup and try to get through them."
That being said, a confident team that has defied the odds all season and is playing its best basketball at the just the right time, makes Chicago a formidable opponent in the playoffs regardless of who they play and when.

the clip it up is great for organizing stickers and other scrapbooking needs all in one place. The clips are good and stay closed around heavy objects...
Love this! I bought this to hang 12x12 papers and longer sticker sheets up. It's a great size. I also bought the upper tier extension to hang smaller items on. The items went together quickly & easily just as the instructions indicated. Plenty of clips are included and there is a lot of room to hang up a large number of items. Very good quality, looks to have a lot of longevity. Very happy with my purchase!

Appendicitis is an inflammation that can lead to infection of the appendix. It affects 7 percent of Americans and is the most common reason for a child to need emergency abdominal surgery, according to the American Academy of Family Physicians. Young people between ages 11 and 20 are most often affected. A child, especially a boy, may have a greater risk for appendicitis if someone else in the family had it.
The appendix is a small, fingerlike structure attached to the large intestine in the lower right side of the abdomen. Appendicitis occurs when the appendix is blocked by a piece of stool, a foreign body that was swallowed, or swelling from an infection. Bacteria then invade the wall of the appendix. This causes more damage.
If the infected appendix isn't removed, the appendix may leak or burst. This can cause either a localized infection or a life-threatening condition called peritonitis.
There's no way to prevent appendicitis. It is rare in countries where people eat a high-fiber diet, but experts haven't yet shown such a diet definitely prevents it.
The symptoms of appendicitis in older children and teens are abdominal pain, fever, and vomiting. The pain usually begins in the center of the abdomen, around the area of the navel. Later, it may move downward and to the right.
After abdominal pain begins, older children and teens with appendicitis usually develop a fever, lose their appetite, feel nauseous, and may vomit. Other symptoms include diarrhea; the need to urinate frequently; a strong urge to urinate; constipation; and, sometimes, respiratory symptoms.
In children younger than age 2, the most common symptoms are vomiting and a bloated and swollen abdomen.
It can be difficult to diagnose appendicitis, especially in younger children. Even experienced health care providers aren't able to diagnose it 100 percent of the time. Lab testing, ultrasound, and CT scans, along with history and physical examination, are most frequently used to establish a diagnosis.
Appendicitis is a medical emergency that is most often treated surgically. If the appendix is removed surgically before it bursts, complications are rare. The hospital stay is usually 2 or 3 days. If the appendix breaks, a longer hospital stay is needed after it's removed.
In some cases, appendicitis may be treated with antibiotics alone, or by drainage done through the skin and, at a later time, an appendectomy.
Call your health care provider immediately if you suspect your child has appendicitis. This will give your health care provider more time to confirm the diagnosis and remove the infected appendix before it leaks or bursts and spreads infection. If you are unable to contact your health care provider, don't wait, go directly to the emergency room.
If it appears your child may have appendicitis, don't give him or her pain medication or anything to eat or drink. Having an empty stomach speeds preparation for surgery, if needed.

Sports Fan Insider
PITTSBURGH (KDKA 93-7 The Fan) – Gerrit Cole has an ERA higher than 6 in spring training, but Bill Brink of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette told Tab Douglas that fans shouldn't be concerned.
"He's going out and working on things, and that's kind of the catch phrase of spring is 'working on stuff,' but they really are. There's a purpose to what they're doing," Brink said. "He's good enough that any problems he had this spring, once he gets on a mound in a big league stadium with 35,000 people cheering behind you, I don't think any of that stuff that bugged him in spring is really going to affect him."
One area that's a question mark is right field, where Jose Tabata and Travis Snider will platoon.
Brink told Douglas that the Pirates are pleased with where Snider is as the season begins.
"They're happy this off-season that he's had. He's now taken care of the toe issue," Brink said. "He's had that surgically repaired, he's trimmed a little weight, not that he was out of shape or overweight in previous years but he's just gotten himself in a little better playing shape this winter, he changed his diet a little bit, and I think they're optimistic that he's going to be able to contribute a little bit more than he did last year."

The image of 24-year-old Nour Fitiany resting courtside as the pounding of basketballs and thumping of feet reverberated around her wouldn't merit a second glance in most countries.
But in Saudi Arabia, where girls are banned from sports in state schools, powerful clerics castigate women for exercising and female gyms must adhere to strict regulations, Fitiany's ambition to play basketball – let alone represent her country in international tournaments – is a bold political statement.
"I hope that when they see that there are girls who really want to play, and who do play regardless of the obstacles that lie in their path, they realize that they have to do something," she said, dressed in a baby blue t-shirt and grey jogging pants, spinning a basketball on her index finger.
Female participation in sports has long been a controversial issue in the conservative Islamic kingdom, which on February 15 was lambasted by Human Rights Watch for never having sent a woman athlete to the Olympics.

By now it's clear that Drake's Thank Me Later, which comes out today, is pretty much the most polarizing record in rap since Kanye West's 808s & Heartbreaks--more so, even, since Kanye was a well-established and loved artist making his fourth record, where Drake, at 23, is a relative newcomer ...

The first single from Good Ass Job, it feels safe to say, and what a beautiful return for Kanye West: bonkers King Crimson "21st Century Schizoid Man" sample flip, handclaps, drums pulled right off 808s, and the rapper's signature lyrical mix of goofy hubris ("No one man should have all that power ...

Well, not really, but the above is a surprisingly touching and randomly detailed picture of a specific moment in time for Kanye West. That moment?

This performance was to be a bit more of an event before Jay-z upstaged it with his own televised concert with these two on Friday night, and then Kanye really upstaged it with what you might call his own solo performance on Sunday, and then Jay Leno's show was revealed to be the exact same garbag ...

Fond as we are of his music, Kanye West is such an egomaniac that we are unsurprised to learn he interrupted Taylor Swift's Best Female Video award at the stupid MTV Awards last night, grabbing the mic and explaining to the nonplussed honoree and audience that Swift's fellow nominee Beyonce ...

A motorcyclist has set up a website showing CCTV footage of his bike being stolen in the hope it will lead to the thieves' capture
The website shows an hour-long theft of a £10,000 Triumph Daytona 675R from an office car park in central London, along with mug shots of the culprits.

Got to agree with Supermario. The police may have done nothing about the theft, but the owner did nothing to prevent the theft. If you don't care about your bike why should the police?

I'd like to think the police said this because they're already watching the gang and their accomplices to gather a substantial case which will show them up in court as "serial thieves" rather than one-time chancers. Still, if that were the case why not tell the unfortunate owner and give him some cause to feel justice will be done?

What kind of a world are we living in when the victim is on the receiving end of criticism for having his bike stolen? We shouldn't have to leave our bikes chained to a starving rottweiler to make sure that they are still there when we get back. OK, slate him if he left it running with they keys in but he didn't. Come on chaps, have some empathy with the guy.
And shame on the police for doing nothing. I am normally a supporter of the boys in blue but this ain't good enough!!

would be nice to open an access for everyone who lost a bike on this site- or similar to post any footage /pictures of F@g scum like these 3.
In my country they lose a hand for steeling a bike ... not saying its good and I'm totally against it but you know what I mean....
most posters on here have a sense of right and wrong... Do those people that blame the owner, live in Fortresses ?
My answer is take away all benefits and the protection given to scum like them by do gooding, human rights quoting, PC loving half wits. These scum don't deserve to have rights.

Come on fellows, really - one should be able to leave their possessions unlocked, key in ignition even, without ever having it stolen. The fault lies with the criminal.Nevertheless, I'm still kicking myself for failing to properly lock up my old powervalve back in the day, which enabled a miserable scrote to steal it.Blame the criminal, but don't make life easy for them either. I'm still sympathetic to the guy who got robbed.

That is a great Photo Essay, sweet fish all the way around. That is not the only higher end TFO rod I've heard of breaking. My TFO Pro Series have handled fish well. Happenstance I suppose.
Thanks Gregg! I think TFO's are great rods for the money, but I've seen more than a few break...but they have a great guarantee.Delete
Thanks buddy. Looking forward to fishing with you in a few weeks.Delete
Nice. Dang, those are some slab carp.ReplyDelete
Beautiful fish Brent!ReplyDelete
Many thanks, Jim.Delete
that last carp is ridiculous. is that the one that broke the rod?ReplyDelete
No, I was fishing a Loop Cross. My buddy Shane fished the TFO. The carp that broke the rod was actually one of the smaller fish of the day - about 10 pounds. It just switched direction abruptly and popped the rod in two.
The fish pics are awesome and Mayor McCheese might be my new favorite fish descriptor (I'm definitely stealing it) but jesus h christ that's a crawdad.ReplyDelete
Thanks Pete.
That's an average adult crawdad in the Snake River, which is why our local carp are fat and happy.

What is it?
Sjögren syndrome is an inflammatory disorder that affects the mucous membranes, causing dry mouth, decreased tear production, and dryness of other body membranes. It usually occurs in women around 50 years old, and the cause is unknown. Sjögren syndrome can occur as a primary disorder or secondarily in association with other well-defined autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis (RA), progressive systemic sclerosis (PSS), polymyositis (PM), and systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). In Australia involvement of organs such as brain, kidney and lung is uncommon.
Symptoms may include dry and gritty eyes, dry mouth with difficulty chewing and swallowing, decreased sense of taste and smell, joint pain, and swollen glands. There is an increased incidence of lymphoma, particularly of the parotid gland, among patients with this syndrome.
Tests for Sjögren syndrome may include:
- Antinuclear antibodies (ANA) (positive)
- Rheumatoid factor (RF) (often positive)
- Antibodies specific to Sjögren syndrome (SS): anti-SS-A and SS-B; SS-A is also called Ro, while SS-B is also called La (usually positive). These come under the term ENA (extractable nuclear antigens). Some consider these an absolute requirement for the diagnosis of Sjögren syndrome
- Polyclonal activation of IgG is commonly seen, i.e. all IgG type immunoglobulins are increased
Treatment is based on the symptoms. Dry eyes are treated with artificial tears, a tear stimulant, or eye lubricant. A dry mouth may be helped by frequent small drinks of water or chewing gum to stimulate saliva production. Arthritis symptoms are treated with anti-inflammatory medicines, such as aspirin, and other NSAIDs, although rarely immune suppressants similar to those used in RA are needed.

I had gone here initially when I arrived in Tokyo but after meeting with Samuel of Tokyo Telephone he informed me that they keep all of the good stuff in the back. I went back today and requested a few garments to try on. I'm not too familiar with Rick's retail prices but the items I tried on were a little much to comfortably walk out in. I'll have to wait until near the end of my trip and see what my funds are like…
This is basically my dream Rick gear at the moment though… please ignore my shoes
I've included this detail photo of the Rick statue so you can truly appreciate how horrid this piece is. I mean that in the best way possible
In my continuing quest through Japan I stumbled in to Aoyama yesterday. Having done my research prior to arriving in this great country I knew I was within shouting distance of a wonderful store I'm sure you're all familiar with… Rick Owens. The space itself was exactly as I had pictured complete with a selection of his home collection and this grotesque statue that I have always wanted to see in person. I didn't realize how truly horrid and ugly the statue was in person. I love it.

57-year-old Kelsey Grammer rolled into a tattoo parlor to get his first ink job done ... and chose to tattoo his wife's name on his right hip. Not the most manly spot, is it?
The "Boss" star hit up Insight Studios in Chicago yesterday with wife Kayte Grammer ... where, according to one local report, the girl behind the counter asked him for ID because she didn't recognize him. Do they not have "Frasier" re-runs in Chicago?
One of the shop's tattoo artists tweeted the pic of Kelsey in the chair as he was getting the work done.
The ink reportedly cost only $60, the cheapest the store offers.
Perhaps next time he should shell out a little more ... and pick a less feminine location.
I have nothing against gay people, but when I first saw the picture there is no better word to use to describe it.
Camille has been telling averyone he's gay. Maybe he shold have gotten the tramp stamp version...
Number one rule of tattoos: NEVER tat a gf/bf's name on yourself. With as many divorces/broken relationships this man has had, he really should know better. Sounds like soemthing an insecure wife would make him do. If my significant other wanted to tat my name on his body, I'd hit him upside the head!!!
What will Niles think?
Tattoo artist has a big G@Y grin going on, plus he's resting his arm on Kelso's peaness.
Wonder if the artist saw his junk. It's like right in his face too.
HOLY **** a man got a girly tattoo?! Next thing you know they'll be giving women the right to VOTE. Reinforce gender stereotypes, STAT - this may get out of control.
Yuck. 50-somethings should not try to act like 20-somethings, even if his wife is that age.
Hope that ink lasers off easily.
I'm stuck. I can't find the phrase I'm looking for.
I think it's: "pathetic & adulterous old man desperately trying to stay relevant with his skanky child bride by getting a tat that he'll regret when she dumps him for a hot young guy in 2-3 years".
Yup. That's the phrase.
OR.....maybe he could stop trying to recapture his youth by humping young girls and getting adolecent body art. He should conduct himself like the grandfather that he is. He is a bit of an embarrassment to his offspring as of late.
It's hard for me to look at him the same
way...he's a jerk!
Between the hip and his wedding vows,I'm wondering which he'll break first.
Overweight Middle age old man REALLY !!!! COME ON !!!
To tattoo someones name on you is the "kiss of death".
His next wife will not like that, it seems that when someone tats the name of the their mate onto themselves, a divorce usefully follows

Recently many customers from Brazil have visited Morbi to source right partners to buy ceramic & porcelain tiles.
Though Brazil is also producer of ceramic tiles they were till date depending on China for PORCELAIN Tiles. But currently there was lot of buzz around regarding Brazil imposing anti-
Morbi Ceramic Industry contacted DECOM (Department of Trade Defence), the office responsible for the investigation of antidumping issues. They explained us that…
They also informed us that the verification agenda for the respondents should be ready next week.
This really is another big opportunity for Indian porcelain tiles manufacturers to export their tiles to Brazil. Earlier Morbi Ceramic Industry was the first to inform it's readers regarding Europe's ADC on Chinese tiles.
p.s.: the Navegantes Port of Brazil is now receiving their some of the first bulk shipments of soluble salt porcelain tiles exported from Morbi (India)
What do you people think? Will this situation boost the economic relations between Brazil & India and give good sales to exporters of Morbi? Please comment below…

In 1994 I was diagnosed with celiac disease, which led me to create Celiac.com in 1995. I created this site for a single purpose: To help as many people as possible with celiac disease get diagnosed so they can begin to live happy, healthy gluten-free lives. Celiac.com was the first site on the Internet dedicated solely to celiac disease, and since then it has become an invaluable resource to people worldwide who seek information about celiac disease and the gluten-free diet.
In 1998 I created The Gluten-Free Mall, Your Special Diet Superstore! which was also another Internet first—it was the first gluten-free food site to offer a shopping cart-style interface, and the ability for people to order gluten-free products manufactured by many different companies at a single Web site.
I am also co-author of the book Cereal Killers, and founder and publisher of Journal of Gluten Sensitivity.
Distilled vinegar, however, is still on the CSAs "Low Gluten Items to Avoid List." The CSA still maintains that distilled vinegar and alcohol are "questionable," even if there is no detectable gluten/gliadin in them, and even though the Gluten Intolerance Group (GIG), Celiac Disease Foundation (CDF) and the new guidelines from the American Dietetic Association (ADA) all include them on their safe lists . The CSA urges celiacs to ascertain the source of any questionable ingredients from their manufacturers.
The CSAs new version of their "Celiac Disease Self-Management Chart for the Clinical Diet" advocates:
According to Janet Rinehart the CSAs new guidelines "are not incompatible with the new ADA recommendations in the later stages." Further: "We can use the CSA diet to start with, and then use the ADA recommendations and those published by GIG/CDF, depending on individual food sensitivities." She urges celiacs and support groups to quite blaming the CSA and instead work together to contribute positively to the success of all celiacs in all groups.

Subject: Wall Street software failure & relationship to voting
[Also posted to Freedom to Tinker, slightly PGN-ed for RISKS.]
An article in *The Register* explains what happened in the 1 Aug 2012 Wall
Street glitch that cost Knight Capital $440M, resulted in a $12M fine, and
nearly bankrupted Knight Capital (forcing them to merge with someone
else). In short, there were 8 servers that handled trades; 7 of them were
correctly upgraded with new software, but the 8th was not. A particular
type of transaction triggered the updated code, which worked properly on the
upgraded servers. On the non-upgraded server, the transaction triggered an
obsolete piece of software, which behaved altogether differently. The
result was large numbers of incorrect "buy" transactions.
The bottom line is that the cause of the failure was lack of careful
procedures in how the software was deployed, coupled with a poor design
choice that allowed a new feature to reuse a previously used obsolete
option, which meant that the trigger caused an unanticipated result (instead
of being ignored of causing an error).
So, what does this have to do voting? It's not hard to imagine an Internet
voting scheme using 8 servers, and even if the software doesn't have
security flaws per se, a botched upgrade like this might work just fine for
7/8 of the voters, and silently fail for the 1/8. If the procedures aren't
in place to check all of the systems (and such procedures apparently didn't
exist at Knight Capital), a functional check might not detect a mismatch.
This experience emphasizes that proper operation isn't *just* having the
software itself being built correctly -- it's also having it fielded
properly. In a way, this is similar to the DC Internet voting experiment --
in that case, there was a bug in the software, but that particular bug
wouldn't have been exploitable if it hadn't been for a mistake in how the
software was fielded, replacing one version of a software library with a
different version that had an exploitable bug. [This is not to suggest that
this was the only bug in the DC voting software, or that Internet voting is
safe, just tying to the particular exploit that happened.]

Subject: SecureDrop Project Will Pay To Install Media Outlets' WikiLeaks-Style
Submission Systems (Andy Greenberg)
Andy Greenberg, *Forbes*, 15 Oct 2013
The non-profit Freedom of the Press Foundation (FPF) announced the launch of
SecureDrop, a piece of open-source software designed to serve as an
anonymous submission systems for media organizations. And to encourage news
outlets to install it, the Foundation has offered to send one of
SecureDrop's creators, security consultant James Dolan, to willing news
outlets to help install it, in some cases even paying for the necessary
SecureDrop, which like WikiLeaks depends on the anonymity software Tor to
hide leakers' identities, was developed from the open-source software
DeadDrop, initially created by the late coder and activist Aaron Swartz
along with Dolan and Wired editor Kevin Poulsen.

Subject: Authors Accept Censors' Rules to Sell in China (Andrew Jacobs)
"Foreign writers who agree to submit their books to China's fickle
censorship regime say the experience can be frustrating. Qiu Xiaolong, a
St. Louis-based novelist whose mystery thrillers are set in Shanghai, said
Chinese publishers who bought the first three books in his Inspector Chen
series altered the identity of pivotal characters and rewrote plot lines
they deemed unflattering to the Communist Party. Most egregiously, he
said, publishers insisted on removing any references to Shanghai,
replacing it with an imaginary Chinese metropolis called H city because
they thought an association with violent crime, albeit fictional, might
tarnish the city's image."

Subject: MIT Tech Review: The Decline of Wikipedia (Tom Simonite)
"Yet Wikipedia and its stated ambition to "compile the sum of all human
knowledge" are in trouble. The volunteer workforce that built the
project's flagship, the English-language Wikipedia-and must defend it
against vandalism, hoaxes, and manipulation-has shrunk by more than a
third since 2007 and is still shrinking. Those participants left seem
incapable of fixing the flaws that keep Wikipedia from becoming a
high-quality encyclopedia by any standard, including the project's
own. Among the significant problems that aren't getting resolved is the
site's skewed coverage: its entries on Pokemon and female porn stars are
comprehensive, but its pages on female novelists or places in sub-Saharan
Africa are sketchy. Authoritative entries remain elusive. Of the 1,000
articles that the project's own volunteers have tagged as forming the core
of a good encyclopedia, most don't earn even Wikipedia's own
middle-ranking quality scores. The main source of those problems is not
mysterious. The loose collective running the site today, estimated to be
90 percent male, operates a crushing bureaucracy with an often abrasive
atmosphere that deters newcomers who might increase participation in
Wikipedia and broaden its coverage."

Subject: Re: France summons US ambassador to answer allegations of
widespread NSA surveillance
http://catless.ncl.ac.uk/Risks/27.56.html#subj9 tells us that the French
government are unhappy about the NSA. Let's see where the logic takes us.
1. Blowing up a vehicle in a foreign city and killing an unarmed civilian is
a terrorist act.
2. An organisation that trains, equips, and commands such an act is a
terrorist organisation.
3. Anyone who contributes to the funding of such an organisation is
supporting a terrorist organisation.
4. Anyone who supports a terrorist organisation is a legitimate target of
surveillance in the war against terror.
5. In 1985, the French government carried out such a terrorist act in the
largest city of my country.
6. Therefore every French taxpayer is a legitimate target of surveillance
and the French government have no grounds for complaint.
Of *course* there are flaws in this (except for 5, which is a legally
established fact). But it's frighteningly plausible if you don't stop
to think. And it's exactly the kind of "reasoning" that is easy to
embody in computer software. (Maybe I should have written these claims
using OWL...) Is there anyone, other perhaps than the inhabitants of a
few villages in PNG and Vanuatu, that we _can't_ cover this way?

Subject: Re: Americans Are Way Behind in Math, Vocabulary, and Technology
(Davidson, RISKS-27.56)
If American kids had to take their reading and writing tests in Spanish
rather than English, we wouldn't expect them to do very well, since Spanish
isn't the first language for most of them.
Yet we expect them to take science and math tests which are written using
metric units -- the international "language" of technology. And we SHOULD
expect this! The sad part is that, while metric units are the first language
of measurement for 95% of the world's population, they remain a foreign
tongue to almost every American, with commensurate results.
Ben Franklin advocated the metric system. Congress adopted the Metric
Conversion Act of 1975, and it looked as if we were finally on our way. But
then Ronald Reagan was elected president, took the solar panels off the
White House roof, and declared that there was no way any government
reporting to him was going to dictate measurement rules to business. "Let
the free market decide", he insisted. And metrication came to a dead halt.
We continue to pay the price today, not only in substandard education but
also in failure to manufacture to the kind of international standards that
might earn us foreign markets. Plus which, ACHU* makes us dumber, almost as
if we had to do all our math using Roman numerals.
* Accidental Collection of Heterogeneous Units -- don't mislabel it the
"English system". First off, it's not a system (no design), it's an
accident. 2nd, the English have come to their senses and metricated
decades ago. And for gosh sake don't call it the "American system",
because then all the super-patriots will insist that it's a matter of
national honor to stick to it.

This is the most misleading Subject: line I can remember having appeared in
Hyperbole in RISKS subject lines? Inconceivable!
I cross borders often and it is never routine. I've been "delayed" 6 times
(that I recall) at the US/Canada border, even though I had my papers in
order. Some of those were probably due to fitting a profile, other times
because I won the let's-randomly-check-somebody lottery. If you come
without papers, you've won the lottery by default. Anything can happen once
they pull you aside and start digging.
The border crossing guard won't likely take your story at face value. Even
between friendly nations like Canada and the US, there are plenty of things
that could result in something much more serious than a delay when crossing
the border.
You look Mexican. Your last name is Mohammed. You look like a terrorist.
You don't sound or look like a Canadian. You are not a Canadian citizen,
where's your US visitor visa?
Or you have kids in your car. Where is the other parent? Why does that kid
not look like you? Is that baby really yours?
Perhaps you're carrying contraband? Cuban cigars? Kinder Eggs?
Drugs? Some medications with codeine are available over the counter in
Canada, but only legal with a prescription in the US. You are carrying
marijuana, or your buddy in the passenger seat is, or a friend stuffed some
under a seat cushion last week. The US will seize your car on the spot, but
you don't have to worry about transportation because you'll get a free ride
in the back seat of a government car.
You have a prior criminal record. You have been barred from entering the
US. You have a warrant in the US. You have too much beer in the trunk of
your car.
Regardless if they let you through or turn you around, you'll have to go
through customs on return to Canada and you can run into the same set of
problems, and even more because there are legal reasons why you may not be
allowed to leave (you are out on bail, probation, parole) or return
(single-entry visa) to Canada.
And yes turning around means going through Canadian customs, because the US
customs house is on US soil. What could possibly go wrong? What if you
aren't admissible to Canada or the US? How do you think people get stuck in
limbo in airport terminals?

Subject: Unauthorized Access: The Crisis in Online Privacy and Security
(Sloan and Warner)
Robert H. Sloan and Richard Warner
Unauthorized Access: The Crisis in Online Privacy and Security
CRC Press, 2014
Robert Sloan is a professor of computer science, and Richard Warner is a law
professor, which would seem to make a nice collaboration. However, this
book is explicitly aimed primarily at legal and policy folks, rather than
techies. The back jacket says that this book ``proposes specific solutions
to public policy issues pertaining to online privacy and security.'' It is
highly readable, and could be very helpful for those who are not yet aware
of the serious issues it raises and the remedies it proposes.
On the other hand, it seems much less specific in discussing the
implications of many of the security problems (such as pervasive
vulnerabilities and exploits) whose existence might make some of the legal
and policy issues less effective, or whose remediation might possibly make
the recommended fixes less necessary. Also, there seem to be many inherent
weaknesses in best practices (not just in those proposed), as well as likely
limitations in legal remedies that might still exist despite the authors'
recommendations. A second edition might dig further into some of these
additional considerations. However, their recommendations certainly deserve
serious consideration -- especially given the poor state of the technology
for security, integrity, reliability, and so on. Overall, policy and law
are important -- if properly enforced. At the same time, they are not
enough by themselves -- especially in the absence of meaningful
trustworthiness of systems, networks, and people.
I have a few quibbles with the title of the book that may be familiar to
long-time RISKS readers, first with `Unauthorized Access', and second with
`Online Privacy and Security'. As we should learn from studying exploits
such as the Internet Worm and the Snowden affair, many of our problems in
this area involve Authorized Access rather than Unauthorized Access,
especially relating to policies, ethics, and the law. For example, as I
noted in RISKS-12.15 relating to the Internet Worm, no authorization was
required to exploit the sendmail debug option, the finger daemon buffer
overflow, freely open-to-the-world .rhosts files, and explicitly readable
encrypted password files. This fact seriously muddied the waters in a
prosecution that was based on Exceeding Authority when no authority was
actually required. Similarly, denial-of-service attacks frequently require
no authority, even when they manage to exploit fundamental flaws in
security. Worse yet, privacy violations often exist outside the purview of
computer system authentication and access controls, in which case it is not
at all clear what is actually `unauthorized' once the information involved
has become extrinsic to the systems in which it originated. Thus, offline
privacy is perhaps just at least as problematic as online privacy, while
offline security seems to be more of a fantasy. Besides, as I noted in my
Inside Risks column, The Foresight Saga, Redux (Comm.ACM 55, 10, Oct 2012,
http://www.csl.sri.com/neumann/cacm228/pdf), although the best may be the
enemy of the good, the good may not be good enough.

Time for consumer and business involvement in NBN, says DeloitteDOWNLOAD
Now is the time for consumers and business operators to be involved in the public debate and planning of Australia's National Broadband Network (NBN), according to professional services firm, Deloitte.
In launching Deloitte's 'National Broadband Network – A user's perspective' report today, Damien Tampling, the firm's Technology, Media and Telecommunications (TMT) leader, said these two groups will drive the success or failure of the NBN.
"It is imperative that the people who will actually be using the NBN are considered from the beginning and not once the NBN's infrastructure has already been built, or even at the implementation study stage," Mr Tampling said.
"Until now, the discussions have revolved around the building and financing of this major infrastructure project. The focus needs to now equally turn to the groups that will ultimately drive the project's success.
"The NBN has the potential to completely transform the way we work, live and operate in Australia if we carefully plan and maximise the infrastructure's potential. And that will only be achieved if the end-user consumer and businesses' needs are factored into the planning."
Mr Tampling said the Federal Government needs to more closely identify what impact the NBN will have on specific industries and businesses to consider likely drivers of end-user demand properly.
He added that creating a strong and competitive operating environment is also essential, as are the factors that will drive consumers to move to the new network.
"The NBN is likely to bring a number of unexpected issues to the surface. As such, legislation will also be progressively required to cope with a converged digital economy where issues of privacy, service provision, access regimes, regulation, competition and security are redefined as a consequence of faster broadband speeds," Mr Tampling said.
The report also:
It concludes by identifying seven key factors that must be considered for the proposed NBN to be successfully adopted by mainstream Australia. They are:

Jordan Brand August 2011 Releases @ Extra Butter
July 29th, 2011 by Aaron Hope | 14 comments
Whereas Jordan Brand's V.2 Grown was basically the second version of the Campus Chukka design and the V.5 a lowtop variant, the Jordan V.9 Grown actually draws upon the Air Jordan Legacy model with that same number. The V9s debut in a dope tumbled grey nubuck getup with black accents that nail the simple lifestyle look and are joined by the equally simply pleasing Air Jordan 1 Phat in black carbon fiber. Despite the obvious advantage from that lightweight material, both of those are best kept to anchoring your outfits, while the Trunner LX '11 offers serious performance during your chosen training activities. Click through to see all three pairs in more detail and look for yours at JB retailers like Extra Butter.

Tyrone Crowder, the highest rated recruit from the state of North Carolina, cut his list to four today. The four star offensive guard is down to North Carolina, Clemson, Stanford, and Georgia. This is huge news for Larry Fedora and company as Crowder, along with receiver Marquez North, has been one of the coaching staff's top priories.
Crowder 6'2", 325 lbs is a tremendous combination of size and athleticism. This kid is a mauler that plays with a lot of intensity to the whistle every single play. Excellent at getting to the second level, Crowder intimidates opponents and is known for going through several levels of the defense and handling multiple defenders on the same play. Crowder had a very strong series of camp appearances over the summer and looks primed for his senior year and last preparation for college football.
As athletic as Crowder is, he needs to watch his weight a little bit and define his body for the next level. Before Crowder cut his list, he had offers from at least 15 programs. Fedora 's stated main mission is to keep the top in-state talent from going elsewhere. If he can land the Rockingham native, his credibility as a recruiter will continue to take off. UNC is now up to 16 commitments in the 2013 class of which nine are from the great state of North Carolina. If added, Crowder would become the third OL in the class joining RJ Prince and Lucas Crowley.
According to ESPN, Crowder "spoke glowingly about the new coaching staff at North Carolina". He hasn't listed any leaders or favorites but expect the Tar Heels to be in it until the very end.
