The Changing World of Procurement - A Recap of The Changing World of Procurement Webinar presented by Supply & Demand Chain Executive, September 10, 2014
The following is a Puridiom recap of The Changing World of Procurement webinar presented by Supply & Demand Chain Executive. The points covered during the roundtable discussion have been summarized in order of the questions asked. Although the panelists were from very different backgrounds within the Supply Chain, they all reiterated the importance of procurement automation, visibility, supplier collaboration and communications.
The Changing World of Procurement webinar began with this brief introduction: Over the next decade, the way procurement is executed has to change. Organizations must identify all of their business entities, buying habits, cost information, benchmarking and more to obtain more real-time data in a predictive form. Without it, there will be knowledge loss as experienced supply management professionals leave the business; customer loss; being viewed as a less favorable supplier, less financial investment from shareholders; reduced market share; and a non-sustainable business model.
What Keeps You Up at Night?
Organizations today are seeking control, visibility, automation, optimization, and compliance in their supply chain and procurement processes. What is keeping them up at night is trying to figure out the best way to accomplish these goals with the right tools and processes.
Are you satisfied with the efficiency of your procurement operation?
Not surprisingly, a large number of those polled were not satisfied with their procurement operation and that may be due to the reasons stated above. Panelists believed that organizations today are being challenged at an even higher level to deliver results to C-level management, so they are constantly seeking more ways to improve the efficiency of their procurement processes.
Where does Big Data fit within Procurement Today and in the Future?
Big data has become a major driver of business strategy and a major driver of performance reviews. The challenge is in capturing the right data and using it well. Best-in-class procurement organizations that have full visibility into their spend now have the ability to use this data better, making it better quality procurement data. With this data they can track spending trends more closely and in real time, helping them to become more responsive and successful. This data can also be fed to several other critical systems and used as the core to business intelligence.
We are also finding data being enriched by third-party data sources, such as news reports, or financial information that could potentially help with sourcing decisions or avert supply shortages. This type of data is becoming increasingly available from either other integrated networks (payment information, feedback, ratings, etc.) or through third-party solutions. For more information on Big Data, read article.
How do you manage and communicate with suppliers?
Supplier collaboration and how suppliers interact with organizations is of great concern to procurement professionals. The informal poll during the webinar indicated that the majority of participants communicate with supplier via email and the smallest number is using supplier portals or third parties to communicate with suppliers.
All panelists agreed that better and faster communication with suppliers is a must for procurement today and especially in the future. The benefits of automating the supplier connection and collaborating with your suppliers far outweigh any initial difficulties of onboarding suppliers. Supplier portals increase efficiencies and communications, drive visibility and improve supplier collaboration. Other benefits to automating this process include enhanced decision-making based on having faster, more up-to-date information, as well as more accuracy, better document management, and more time to build real supplier relationships.
Do you use a mobile device at work (smartphone, iPhone, tablet)?
With more and more people "on-the-go", out of the office, traveling, in meetings, commuting… basically not at their desks, the demand to use mobile devices in the workplace and have a convenient way to facilitate one's procurement activity will naturally increase. The webinar poll seems to reflect this trend. As more companies embrace BYOD policies and IT departments mandate the use of mobile devices for their employees, we will see an increase in usage. Technology in turn is now being required to be available on all types of devices – mobile friendly and adjustable to screen size. We are also seeing the need for mobile tools that can run off-line and have the capability to sync up with systems when a connection is available. This is becoming a priority for organizations that have remote locations, such as oil fields, or construction sites.
As we see the importance of procurement data grow, the need for the most up-to-date information will become more important reinforcing the need for on-the-go mobility in the workplace. Find out more about Puridiom Mobile.
All panelists were in agreement that the day of the manual spreadsheet to manage procurement is disappearing and those that are still using this method will be left behind. Automation is the answer for procurement departments and there is plenty of data and research to back this up (Gartner, Forrester, etc.) Automated procurement processes and implementing best practices will streamline procurement operations, increase efficiencies, decrease inaccuracies, provide visibility and gain cost control of an organization.
The bigger problem for organizations today is not deciding to automate, it is deciding how to automate and with what tools. Panelists agree that a well-thought out plan and good communication with all involved in the procurement process and any branches of that process is mandatory.
Corporate Buying Experience
Another aspect of procurement that is changing is the actual buying experience. As we, as consumers, buy more and more online, we have become accustomed to the user-friendly "amazon-like" experience. This experience is translating directly into the business environment. Buyers in the corporate world are demanding easy interactions with the buying tools and a new "consumerism" is emerging. Technology is adapting by bringing shopping cart experiences to the corporate buyer and allowing social media input and other third-party data feeds to influence the buying decision.
Another way buying behavior is changing is the emergence of "project-based" procurements, in which buyers are collaborating with suppliers, and sourcing to buy for a particular project, rather than buying "one-offs." The type of purchasing is leading to better controlling of costs and better supplier relationships.
As all panelists have agreed, and we hope you have also, the need for automation of procurement to gain visibility and control of cost for an organization is today and in the future, a necessity. But for many organizations it is difficult to get the C-level buy-in necessary to get the tools needed for this type of transformation project. Panelists agreed that corporate management must be presented a cost-savings plan that includes the viewpoints of all offices of the C-level and how they and the organization as a whole can benefit. Communication to all involved in the process is vital to the success of this type of project. Choose a technology that will meet the needs of your organization today and in the future, and that can help implement best practices, as well.

Bad news for teenage girls: While you're desperately trying to avoid looking like your mother, she's busy mimicking your fashion sense.
According to new research to be published in an upcoming issue of the Journal of Consumer Behavior, teen daughters are much more likely to influence their moms' sense of style than the other way around. In fact, while teen daughters resist dressing like their mothers, moms tend to feel younger than their age and express that feeling by buying the same clothes and products as their daughters.
"Mimicking her daughter is like a shortcut to what is hip and cool," said study researcher Ayalla Ruvio, a professor of marketing at Temple University in Pennsylvania.
Marketing researchers have long known that kids influence their parents' purchasing decisions. Kids have a lot of input into items that get purchased for the whole family, such as cereal or soup. What's unusual about the new study is that it finds that daughters influence the purchase of items that mothers plan to use for themselves alone.
Ruvio and her colleagues surveyed 343 mothers, average age of about 44, and their daughters, who were about 16 years old on average. They asked the mothers and daughters about their interest in fashion and how old they felt (as opposed to how old they really were). Moms were asked how much their daughters influenced their clothes and make-up purchases, and daughters were asked the same question about their mothers.
The answers revealed that when mothers see their daughters as stylish, they're likely to mimic their child's look, especially if the moms think of themselves as young at heart. Daughters, on the other hand, were not keen on imitating their mothers, even when the teens perceived themselves as older than their years and saw their moms as stylish.
Ruvio said she was surprised at how eager mothers were to look like their daughters. "They really tend to copy the way they dress up, the things they wear," she told LiveScience. "We did some interviews in a study published elsewhere, and [moms] told us they borrow items from their teenage girls. The teenage girls didn't really like that."

I'm comparing the speed of which humans communicate in todays world vs the 1900's. This experiment is going to last three days, so from today, Saturday March 24th, 12AM EST, to Monday 11:59PM EST.
I am taking into account my amount of follows now (188) and how many I will have on Monday. I will reblog this myself once per day. I have a guess at how many reblogs this will get but I will keep that a secret for now.
Help me see how far this can go in three days.
How to Get Away With Murder and Other Things the Killing of Unarmed Black Teen Trayvon Martin Teaches Us.
If you want to kill someone and get away with it, tell the police that he attacked you. Tell them you stepped out of your SUV, because you wanted to look at the name of the street you were on. Tell them the kid jumped you from behind. Even if he didn't have a criminal record. Even if he was an A and B student. Even if you have 110 pounds on him. Even if he was staying at his father's fiancé's house, and carrying Skittles and iced tea he'd bought during half time at the local 7-11.
Don't worry if you sound drunk or high; the police won't test you for drugs. Don't worry about your gun; it's licensed. Don't worry about your seven-year-old arrest for "resisting arrest with violence and battery on a law enforcement officer"; the charges were dropped. Don't worry about the cell phone that the kid was on, calling his girlfriend, as he fled from you. No one knows where it is, and no one's going to investigate it.
Do it in Sanford, Fla., and there's a good chance the lead investigative officer will be the same guy who didn't arrest a lieutenant's son who'd been videotaped attacking a black homeless man. Do it in Sanford, where seven years ago two security guards — one a cop's son —shot and killed another black teenagerwhom they claimed was trying to run them down after dropping his friends off at an apartment complex.
Do it in a town where the police chief will say without any trace of ironythat his "investigation is color blind and based on the facts and circumstances, not color," and that he "can say that until I am blue in the face, but, as a white man in a uniform, I know it doesn't mean anything to anybody." Kill someone under the jurisdiction of a police chief who'd say that both you and your victim would "probably do things differently" if you both relived that night.
If you want to kill someone and get away with it, do it in a country where two of the three major news networks will barely cover your crime, and where it takes three weeks to become a national story. Do it in a country where the only possibility that you might get prosecuted is when the federal government steps in.
You know why this hurts so much? Because it's true.

Lacrimal duct stenosis involves narrowing of a tear duct (lacrimal duct). This condition can occur in children and adults. This fact sheet will focus on lacrimal duct stenosis in infants.
Lacrimal Duct
In some babies, problems in normal development can cause lacrimal duct obstruction. A thin membrane may cover the opening of the duct into the nose.
These factors increase your baby's chance of developing lacrimal duct stenosis:
If your baby has any of these symptoms, do not assume it is due to lacrimal duct stenosis. These symptoms may be caused by other conditions. Tell your doctor if your baby has any of these:
The doctor will ask about your baby's symptoms and medical history. The doctor will do an exam. Your baby may need to see a doctor who specializes in eye conditions in children.
The eye doctor may do a dye disappearance test. This test will help to confirm that there is a blockage in the tear duct.
Talk with the doctor about the best treatment plan for your baby. In infants, this condition often heals by itself in the first year of life.
Treatment options include:
It is not possible to prevent this condition. To help reduce your baby's chance of getting eye infections, keep your baby's eyes clean and free of mucous.

Ford F150 Replacement Throttle Body Spacer Information
Encase yourself in beauty, high-quality and cutting-edge appeal with the help of a classic Ford automobile. Your sporty Ford is perhaps super compact, but it's got tons of available horsepower. If an issue crops up or a component needs to be replaced, don't try to save money with a low-grade component. That Ford F150 is worth genuine OEM and aftermarket parts to deliver its full performance. A Ford F150 is able to dominate any terrain, but requires first-rate quality OEM and aftermarket parts in order to take you to your destination. High-endurance trucks including the terrain-mastering Ford F150 are built to cope well with all terrains wherever you drive them but they must have proper upkeep and top-notch parts to continue conquering the world's steep roads. That Ford in the garage was made using quality and skill; it should have new replacement or OEM components with a similar top level of quality. Car or truck enthusiasts who thrill over performance vehicles know that there's nothing more important than installing the most outstanding aftermarket parts for your vehicle. Your vehicle is an investment because of its great performance and great style, and to have it humming in its best shape you'll need the best in high-quality parts and accessories. If a vehicle's throttle opens, Ford F150 Throttle Body Spacer funnels a larger amount of oxygen to go through the valve, increasing the power available to the car. Your truck or car's Ford F150 Throttle Body Spacer can improve its MPG rating because the vehicle does not have to work as hard to draw oxygen into the throttle. Some people believe adding a Ford F150 Throttle Body Spacer will change the throttle's capacity to pull in oxygen, which can increase the power output of the motor. A great way to guard your vehicle's resale value is by using our outstanding parts and incredible customer service. Selecting a Ford was an intelligent choice, and maintaining it in excellent condition is also easy! If you want outstanding performance from your vehicle, you know that quality parts are part of great performance - PartsGeek.com sells the parts you need.

The following year, she relisted the residence for $14.2 million, but still couldn't find a buyer. Now, the picturesque estate is back on the market for the significantly reduced price of $11.4 million. Meg Ryan sold her Los Angeles home for $11.125 million in June 2012.

They feel that if they spend thousands of dollars on something they're somehow going to be better dressed. When the reality is, you don't have to spend billions of dollars on things in order to be well-dressed. It has to come from inside. I know that I spend money for reasons of insecurity, whatever it might be. But I also happen to love things that are expensive, and buy them simply because I love them. I think that good, great things can come at every price"

The sea give spirit to adventure
Nations born from this
Tears too
Good write my friend....good to taste the salt. (Report) Reply
Aufie Zophy
Y/. Sense-ational
The smell of the sea was more special
More precious than that of a rose in spring
The wind on my skin was so sweet and soft
It was fantastic, a real caressing
The sounds of the waves, real music
Mozart, Bach, never heard such a thing
The view of the sea the colours so nice
Blue green, white waves, amazingly amazing
I tried to smell, feel, hear and see
All at the same time, simultaneously
But this was really much easier said than done
When I looked and listened, the smell was gone
Focusing on smell and the breeze from the skies
gave me the sudden strong urge to close my eyes
I tried again and again to absorb the senses of the sea
And what was first two, became soon a wonderful three.
After some time I finally could sense all four
It felt like being one with the sea in my core
I felt and smelled and heard and saw
It really had me standing there in awe
I licked my lips and guess what
I could taste some of the sea's salt…

Getting more bang for your buck
Good news:
If you don't use your coupons before they expire, they're still worth the money you paid for them for an extra three months.
GrabOne FaceValue gives you another three months after your coupons expire, making it even easier to enjoy businesses all over New Zealand.
How does it work?
- A coupon is valid up until and including the expiry date printed on the coupon.
- If you don't use it before the expiry date for whatever reason, the coupon retains the value you paid for it for an additional three months.
- This means you can turn up to the business up to three months after the coupon has expired and put the money you spent to buy that coupon towards the service or experience printed on your coupon.
For example, if you spend $50 on a $100 dining voucher but don't use it before the expiry date, you will still be entitled to $50 worth of food and beverage services at that business for an additional three months.
The same goes for coupons without monetary values assigned to them. For example, if you buy a bungy jump deal but don't use it before the expiry date, you can still put the money you spent on the coupon towards a bungy jump, for another three months. Remember, the FaceValue of your coupon can only be put toward the service or experience printed on your coupon.
A few things to note:
- FaceValue applies to all deals that display the FaceValue icon. If the icon is not on a deal, FaceValue does not apply.
- It's always best to use your coupon before the expiry date, so you get the most value for your money. And if you're a bit forgetful, we now automatically remind you if your coupons are about to expire.
- During the FaceValue period, your coupon can only be put towards the service stated on the coupon.
- If the offer is seasonal, like a seasonal menu or chimney sweep service, the FaceValue of your coupon can be put towards a similar offer at the merchant's discretion.
- FaceValue does not apply to product deals, travel and accommodation-related deals, or time-dependent event deals.
- The conditions on your coupon still apply during the FaceValue grace period.

Art walk today on King Street
STRASBURG -- King Street Art Works will host its first-ever art walk along businesses on King Street tonight.
The walk will be from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. at several participating businesses, including Bygones, Buggy B's, The Home and Garden Shop, Cristina's Cafe, and the Strasburg Library, said Marcy McCann, owner of the building that houses King Street Art Works.
Each stop on the walk will feature a different artist, some of whom will not only showcase their art, but will also be demonstrating their craft. Artists such as Kelly Walker will be painting at Buggy B's and Ken Miller will also be painting at the gallery, McCann said.
Tony Coviello, a local artist specializing in plein air painting, will also be painting either inside Cristina's Cafe or in the side garden.
Though there are multiple stops on the scheduled walk, there is no set order participants have to take to get to the culmination of the event at the gallery's monthly party from 7 to 10 p.m., featuring the rock band Shortness of Breath.
"There is no rhyme or reason, just do it at your own pace," McCann said.

The Denver Nuggets website posted a discussion with JJ Hickson in regards to his recovery from ACL surgery. The story brings up a tweet that had projected Hickson's return to come in January. The following is JJ Hickson's response to the projected January return:
"That's false, I'm looking to be ready for training camp. If not, definitely before the season starts."
Wow! You have to love Hickson's ambition but those words are just that, ambitious. His knee surgery was March 25. The 2014-15 season is slated to begin October 28. That's 7 months to recover from a surgery that, as the article stated, "Chicago Bulls point guard Derrick Rose needed 18 months."
As the Denver Nuggets roster is currently situated, JJ Hickson is likely not a starter. The center position should hopefully feature the return of a healthy JaVale McGee. It was the loss of McGee 5 games into the season that gave Hickson so many minutes last season. With the strides taken by Timmy Mozgov last season — going from coining the phrase "Mozgov'd" to allowing us to forget he earned the starting job at center somewhat by default — ratcheting Hickson down to 3rd string really is not a viable train of thought.
All of which puts Coach Brian Shaw back in his original pickle, rotating Faried and Hickson at the 4. With Darrell Arthur also in the mix, JJ Hickson will be allowed to be gingerly worked back into increased minutes. The problem with that theory, though, is if Hickson is going gangbusters to recover from surgery months sooner than fans expect, he likely is not interested in being gingerly worked back into the lineup.
I hope JJ Hickson lives up to his own expectations and is able to participate in training camp. I also hope Brian Shaw can find a better way to handle his rotations.

Warrington Apartments775 Post St # 204, San Francisco, CA 94109
03/28/12 by Sross31: I moved into The Warrington in 1999, at the height of the dot-com craziness. Back then you had to know someone to even get into the building - there was no advertising of any sort. The only way I'm leaving is feet-first. I used to have a house in suburbia and I know more of my neighbors, and have made more friends, in this building than I did in my suburban neighborhood. So much more

Tenants have a right to live in habitable apartment regardless of what their rent is. IT'S THE LAW! Just because a landlord charges low rent, or a tenant can't afford better, does not give the landlord the right to subject tenants to squalor more

Unit (at least the one I rented) is in good condition, but no matter how hard you keep it clean, a roach here and there always appears. The building always smells funny too every time you enter it. I believe the reason for the funny smells and roaches is due to the building's structure and everything that usually more

The Smith-Lever Act of 1914 established the Cooperative Extension Service, a state-by-state national network of educators who extend university-based knowledge to the people. Cooperative Extension came to Alaska in 1930, a year after Congress amended the legislation to include the territory. Extension became a department of the Alaska Agricultural College and School of Mines, which is now the University of Alaska Fairbanks.
In its early days, Extension helped Matanuska colonists, homesteaders and others thrive in Alaska's challenging environment. We continue to meet the needs of Alaskans today — whether it's helping them establish community gardens, can salmon, use a GPS or learn the best way to use solar energy. We provide informal education with a purpose.

UPDATE: A group called Chaos Computer Club says it has hacked the iPhone 5s' Touch ID fingerprint scanner using a laser printer and PVC glue. CCC has posted a video of its efforts.
EARLIER: Apple's new iPhone 5s features a fingerprint scanner built-into its Home button.
Critics have raved about the speed and accuracy of the sensor, which can be used to unlock your phone with a press of your finger. It's anticipated it will also be used for logging onto apps, and online payments.
But Al Franken, a senior US senator who chairs the Senate Judiciary Subcommittee on Privacy, says the technology raises "substantial questions about privacy."
In a letter to Apple (see RAW data below), the Minnesota Democrat asks:
- whether the fingerprint data stored locally on the mobile phone chip in encrypted form could ever be stolen and converted into digital or visual form that would be usable by hackers or fraudsters
- whether the iPhone 5S transmits any diagnostic information about the Touch ID system back to Apple or any third parties
- how well customer fingerprint data will be protected and kept private
- the exact legal status of such fingerprint data.
Senator Franken has given Apple a month to respond to his queries.
Apple earlier said fingerprints collected by the sensor are stored on the main processor of the iPhone 5S, and not transmitted to the cloud.
The fingerprint scanner is more secure than a four-digit passcode, the company says.
Although people are trying to use everything from gummy bears to warm bear mug prints to hack the sensor (and one security company is offering a $16,000 bounty for the first person to fool it) Apple says it would not be trivial to copy a person's fingerprints, and the technology that the iPhone 5S uses scans beneath the skin, looking for warm, live tissue.
RAW DATA: Senator Al Franken's letter to Apple CEO Tim Cook
Dear Mr. Cook:
I am writing regarding Apple's recent inclusion of a fingerprint reader on the new iPhone 5S. Apple has long been a leading innovator of mobile technology; I myself own an iPhone.
At the same time, while Apple's new fingerprint reader, Touch ID, may improve certain aspects of mobile security, it also raises substantial privacy questions for Apple and for anyone who may use your products. In writing you on this subject, I am seeking to establish a public record of how Apple has addressed these issues internally and in its rollout of this technology to millions of my constituents and other Americans.
Too many people don't protect their smartphones with a password or PIN. I anticipate that Apple's fingerprint reader will in fact make iPhone 5S owners more likely to secure their smartphones. But there are reasons to think that an individual's fingerprint is not "one of the best passwords in the world," as an Apple promotional video suggests.
Passwords are secret and dynamic; fingerprints are public and permanent. If you don't tell anyone your password, no one will know what it is. If someone hacks your password, you can change it--as many times as you want. You can't change your fingerprints. You have only ten of them. And you leave them on everything you touch; they are definitely not a secret. What's more, a password doesn't uniquely identify its owner--a fingerprint does. Let me put it this way: if hackers get a hold of your thumbprint, they could use it to identify and impersonate you for the rest of your life.
It's clear to me that Apple has worked hard to secure this technology and implement it responsibly. The iPhone 5S reportedly stores fingerprint data locally "on the chip" and in an encrypted format. It also blocks third-party apps from accessing Touch ID. Yet important questions remain about how this technology works, Apple's future plans for this technology, and the legal protections that Apple will afford it. I should add that regardless of how carefully Apple implements fingerprint technology, this decision will surely pave the way for its peers and smaller competitors to adopt biometric technology, with varying protections for privacy.
I respectfully request that Apple provide answers to the following questions:
(1) Is it possible to convert locally-stored fingerprint data into a digital or visual format that can be used by third parties?
(2) Is it possible to extract and obtain fingerprint data from an iPhone? If so, can this be done remotely, or with physical access to the device?
(3) In 2011, security researchers discovered that iPhones were saving an unencrypted file containing detailed historical location information on the computers used to back up the device. Will fingerprint data be backed up to a user's computer?
(4) Does the iPhone 5S transmit any diagnostic information about the Touch ID system to Apple or any other party? If so, what information is transmitted?
(5) How exactly do iTunes, iBooks and the App Store interact with Touch ID? What information is collected by those apps from the Touch ID system, and what information is collected by Apple associated with those interactions, including identifiers or hashes related to the fingerprint data?
(6) Does Apple have any plans to allow any third party applications access to the Touch ID system or its fingerprint data?
(7) Can Apple assure its users that it will never share their fingerprint data, along with tools or other information necessary to extract or manipulate the iPhone fingerprint data, with any commercial third party?
(8) Can Apple assure its users that it will never share their fingerprint files, along with tools or other information necessary to extract or manipulate the iPhone fingerprint data, with any government, absent appropriate legal authority and process?
(9) Under American privacy law, law enforcement agencies cannot compel companies to disclose the "contents" of communications without a warrant, and companies cannot share that information with third parties without customer consent. However, the "record[s] or other information pertaining to a subscriber... or customer" can be freely disclosed to any third party without customer consent, and can be disclosed to law enforcement upon issuance of a non-probable cause court order. Moreover, a "subscriber number or identity" can be disclosed to the government with a simple subpoena. See generally 18 U.S.C. » 2702-2703
Does Apple consider fingerprint data to be the "contents" of communications, customer or subscriber records, or a "subscriber number or identity" as defined in the Stored Communications Act?
(10) Under American intelligence law, the Federal Bureau of Investigation can seek an order requiring the production of "any tangible thing[] (including books, records, papers, documents, and other items)" if they are deemed relevant to certain foreign intelligence investigations. See 50 U.S.C. » 1861.
Does Apple consider fingerprint data to be "tangible things" as defined in the USA PATRIOT Act?
(11) Under American intelligence law, the Federal Bureau of Investigation can unilaterally issue a National Security Letter that compels telecommunications providers to disclose "subscriber information" or "electronic communication transactional records in its custody or possession." National Security Letters typically contain a gag order, meaning that recipients cannot disclose that they received the letter. See, e.g., 18 U.S.C. » 2709.
Does Apple consider fingerprint data to be "subscriber information" or "electronic communication transactional records" as defined in the Stored Communications Act?
(12) Does Apple believe that users have a reasonable expectation of privacy in fingerprint data they provide to Touch ID?
Thank you for your time and attention to these questions. I ask that Apple answer these questions within a month of receiving this letter.

6 Comments & Questions
There's not really much for Senator Franken's constituents to worry about.
Over the past three years, two US companies - Apple and Google - have come to dominate the cellphone market, and have created an entirely new mobile market (tablets).
Fingerprint tech has potential to be abused, but it's also self-regulating. Rivals, politicians, white-hat hackers and media are all watching Apple's every move, and customer-backlash awaits if it oversteps the privacy mark.
you can always disable the fingerprint scan or buy a different phone, if we stop technolgy to progress then we should not be using mobile phone and credit cards.
Well exactly - the consumer backlash factor I mentioned above.
But London-to-a-brick, if Apple's Touch ID takes off (and it does seem a lot better than previous attempts at fingerprint scanning), every Android maker will copy it.
Yeah, I think he should be sending letters to the NSA before worrying too much what Apple is up to ... i.e. his own govt. departments.
After all, it is the NSA has been strong-arming these big tech. companies into handing over screeds of customer data for years under dubious (possibly illegal) circumstances.
Agreed, its a bit rich to call out Apple for perceived security issues, when the US Govt. has been caught red handed all around the world being much more invasive.
They have already found a way around it, making it easier to bypass than using normal passwords.

MONDAY, April 4 (HealthDay News) -- The brains of people with
autism concentrate more resources in areas devoted to visual
perception, resulting in less activity in areas used to plan and
control thoughts and actions, says a new study.
The findings may explain why people with autism have exceptional
visual abilities, said the researchers at the University of
They analyzed data from 26 brain imaging studies that were
conducted over 15 years and included a total of 357 autistic and
370 non-autistic participants.
"Through this meta-analysis, we were able to observe that autistics exhibit more activity in the temporal and occipital regions and less activity in frontal cortex than non-autistics," first author Fabienne Samson said in a university news release.
The temporal and occipital regions are involved in perceiving
and recognizing patterns and objects, while the frontal areas are
involved with decision making, cognitive control, planning and
execution, she explained.
The findings offer the "first physiological confirmation that
enhanced perceptual processing is a core feature of neural
organization in this population," Dr. Laurent Mottron, of the
university's Centre for Excellence in Pervasive Development
Disorders, said in the news release. "We now have a very strong
statement about autism functioning, which may be ground for
cognitive accounts of autistic perception, learning, memory and
According to the study, the finding shows that the autistic
brain successfully adapts some of its cognitive functioning by
reallocating brain areas to visual perception. The results may
point the way to new areas of autism research.
The study appears April 4 in the journal
Human Brain Mapping.

This is one of our favorite debates at Mystic Politics- distinguished by its affability and easy conversation despite severly disparate views of what transpires upon termination of the human body. There is the feeling when watching that this is one of the rare moments in debates where the debaters are talking to each other and not at each other, and the focus is on exploring- and not racking up points.
Is religion totalitarian and presumes to have answers beyond what it's capable of? Or have certain people experienced bits of truth, which- when taken together- might highlight what lies just beyond the periphery of the minds eye?

'The vast majority of religious believers hold on to scriptures as sacred, as profound revelations, as precious guides to the mysteries of life and death. Believers believe that their stories are true — for instance, that Moses was a real person who led the Hebrews out of slavery and received the Torah directly from God on Mount Sinai or that there really was a Prince Siddhartha Gautama who searched for and found enlightenment in the sixth century B.C.E. Moreover, they believe that contained in these ancient stories is information vital to contemporary humans.
The truth is, we really don't know much about the historical Moses or the historical Buddha. The evidence for these persons from the ancient past is quite sparse and filtered largely through centuries of oral history, mythological elaborations and sectarian biases, before they were even recorded in written form by religious partisans.'

Aug. 2 (Bloomberg) -- High-end hotels in large U.S. cities are attracting buyers from Hong Kong, China and Singapore seeking to cater to a growing number of affluent Asians traveling abroad.
Acquisitions by Asian investors probably will climb to the "low double digits" of all U.S. hotel deals this year, said John Strauss, a managing director for investment sales at Jones Lang LaSalle Hotels in Los Angeles. They accounted for about 8 percent in 2010, according to the brokerage. The most recent deal came last week, when the family of Hong Kong billionaire Cheng Yu-Tung purchased five luxury properties, including Manhattan's Carlyle, for $570 million.

TORONTO (AP) — Red Sox reliever Bobby Jenks is likely to miss the rest of the season and playoffs due to lingering pain in his back.
Red Sox manager Terry Francona said Jenks did not travel with the team to Toronto and is set to see a doctor on Wednesday. Jenks last pitched July 7 against Baltimore. He was transferred to the 60-day DL Sept. 1 when Boston acquired outfielder Conor Jackson from Oakland.

Francona also said left-hander Erik Bedard (left knee) will not make his next scheduled start, Friday at Tampa Bay. Bedard also missed a month with knee soreness while with Seattle earlier this season.

The Red Sox also recalled catcher Ryan Lavarnway and right-hander Kyle Weiland from Triple-A Pawtucket, and purchased the contract of infielder Nate Spears.

Velociraptor's last meal revealed.
The bone of a large flying reptile has been found in the gut of a Velociraptor, sparking fresh discussion among palaeontologists.
Velociraptors have previously been described as "hyper predators".
However, scientists suggest this pterosaur was too large to be the Velociraptor's intended prey but could have been scavenged.
The findings are published in the journal Palaeogeography, Palaeoclimatology, and Palaeoecology.
An international team of scientists revealed the drama of 75 million years ago with a detailed analysis of the skeleton found in the Gobi desert, Mongolia.
"It would be difficult and probably even dangerous for the small theropod dinosaur to target a pterosaur with a wingspan of 2 metres or more, unless the pterosaur was already ill or injured," said co-author of the study Dr David Hone, from the University College Dublin, Ireland.
"So the pterosaur bone we've identified in the gut of the Velociraptor was most likely scavenged from a carcass rather than the result of a predatory kill."
Velociraptors were not much taller than domestic turkeys but were thought to be voracious predators.
Fantastic find! After having a very dino-fuelled weekend with palaeontologists talking about things like the process of digesting, biomechanics, hunting/scavenging, and nasal/airflow construction, I love reading about the last meals of carnivores (which was also discussed). It's a rare and amazing find when fossils like this come up because it gives us great insight into their feeding lifestyles, what they ate, what could this now mean about this dinosaur, etc. Palaeontology's amazing because it's like an epic mystery novel; piecing together data and evidence that are over 65 million years old couldn't get any cooler.
Velociraptors are awesome…

Part one of my interview with Northern Spy Food Co.'s Hadley Schmitt ran yesterday. Here in part two, the chef talks about keeping his head clear amid the media buzz, why he'd like to see more cooks with grit, and the healthy food he'd happily eat every day.
Step into Northern Spy Food Co., and you'll likely spot Hadley Schmitt quietly and methodically working in his sliver of an open kitchen near the back of the space.

Dear Lanier, though fleeting time
May bear us far away from thee
Forever in thy hallowed halls
Each heart will dwell in loyalty.
Faithful to the blue and white
We will be.
And before thy shrine of knowledge
We will kneel to thee
Alma Mater, thy standard waves
Triumphant through each passing year;
We love thy spirit, true and brave,
Thy courage through each threatening fear,
We will hold when we began our lives anew,
Memories of the sheltering walls,
And of thy friendships true.
