[Re-posted from Sunday.]
Here's a funny and moving obit about the most characterful - and food obsessed - dogs I know:
Rosie, who died yesterday at 13, was the World's Most Food-Motivated Dog. She won the title with a stunt modern science has yet to explain.
One evening about five years ago, I returned home from a day-trip to Sydney with a notion to make a sardine sandwich for supper. I had left an unopened tin of sardines on the kitchen table before leaving for town. At least, I thought I had, but now I couldn't find it.
Losing things is nothing new for this blogger and finding them is not his long suit. I spent a few minutes searching for the sardines, then made something else for supper.
While putting Rosie to bed later that night, I spotted the sardine can stashed among the blankets at the back of her sleeping crate. She had chewed the top off, and extracted every morsel of fish and every drop of sardine oil. The can didn't even smell of sardines anymore.
In horror, I rushed to inspect Rosie's mouth, expecting to find her lips and tongue shredded. Not a nick. Rosie was fit as a fiddle, and wondering when her next meal would arrive.
"Golden slumber close your eyes." And sate your tummy.
Dusty, our eldest, is almost the same. When I got her as a tiny puppy twelve and a half years' ago, the vet told me not to worry about keeping her food intake down. I was told: puppies need lots of food, and you could even just let her eat out of the bag; she'll take what she wants and grow. This was probably the craziest advice anyone has ever given me. Barely a few inches long at the time and a few pounds, she plowed into the bag with manic determination until she all but disappeared. I left for a few moments and returned to find that she had puked a couple of times already, eaten the puke, and started over with the food. I learned my lesson. She has been the same ever since.
Then there was the time when two friends came to visit, a gay couple one of whom had planned to propose to his boyfriend on the steps of the Supreme Court (yes, a drama queen if ever there was one) while he was visiting. They came by first and dropped their bag off and we went out to dinner. No one told me that in the bag were two large boxes of Godiva chocolates. They left the bag on the floor.
I came back early (can't remember why now). When I walked in the entire loft was an explosion of wrappers, ribbons, little bits of silver foil, ripped shards of boxes, in every corner of the room. In the middle of it, lay Dusty, bloated to almost twice her size, with a grin of ecstatic pleasure and satisfaction and chocolate smeared all over her face. After the shock, my immediate thought was panic. Chocolate can be poisonous for dogs and she'd eaten two boxes of the richest chocolate there is. I immediately tried to get her to vomit (if it ever happens to you, get a tea-spoon of salt and pour it down their throat). No luck. She seemed to need water, so I gave it to her and she just drank and drank until she looked like she'd burst. I rushed her outside and waited for the puke. No luck. I took her in to phone the animal hospital. And then it started.

A Spokane man has been sentenced to at least four years in an Idaho prison for beating and threatening to kill a man during a skinhead gathering.
Daniel Gean Wilson, 34, (left) and Keegan Van Tuyl (right) beat a man for answering questions about the white supremacist movement wrong after a day of heavy drinking at a home near Spirit Lake in July 2009, according to the Kootenai County Prosecutor's Office.
The beating escalated after they accused the victim of being a drug user. Wilson then urinated on him, held an 8-inch knife to his throat and threatened to kill him if he told police. Wilson has "an extensive criminal record" in several states and has previous convictions for numerous property and violent crimes, according to the prosecutor's office.
Wilson was sentenced to 12 years in prison with eligibility for parole after four years and credit for time served. He had pleaded guilty to aggravated assault in March.
Van Tuyl, co-founder of two Odinist-skinhead groups, Vangard Kindred and Valhalla-Bound Skinheads, is to be released from federal prison this fall on a weapons charge.

If the Democratic National Convention showed us anything it's that when Democrats truly, desperately need to connect with Americans they reach for strong progressive ideas.
When they know, in this post-Citizens-United landscape, that they will be hopelessly outgunned in the 30 second TV soundbite battlefield; when they understand that the media will dilute their strongest points in endless he-said, she-said "balanced" journalism; when they are faced with the only opportunity they will have to speak directly to the electorate in those 3 days from the convention floor – they opt for our ideas, progressive ideas.
This is good news.
Now before I get hammered for any perceived fluffing of the Democratic Party, let me say that I know that's not how they govern. I also know that they can wrap those progressive ideas in conservative reassurances in areas where the right has been too successful warping the public debate – deficits and military adventuring come to mind.
I'm only taking about the core message here and who has the most powerful one.
That would be us.
Only we haven't done very well at all articulating it. There are reasons for that, of course. We're up against a messaging juggernaut on the right. We're proud cats of the left and don't herd easily. And, we don't know our own strength.
It's that last thing I want to talk about. And I want to talk about it in the context of Bill Clinton's speech Wednesday evening. Love him or hate him, that was an incredible political speech.
A number of things made it so effective. Hell, you could spend several weeks in a university rhetoric course on that speech. But notice this: It made its case from a position of strength.
Clinton wasn't cowed. On several occasions he quotes the republicans' best lines directly and then calmly and wittily rips their premises to shreds. You can only do that if you are supremely confident in the rightness of your own ideas.
Clinton was colloquial. He made his case in everyday talk. If you are totally sure of yourself, and have a deep understanding of your subject, then you can make your case simply and it'll stick.
Clinton was pointedly detailed. He wasn't afraid to get into specifics because those specifics had a clear point, they were tied to strong, central premises. Conventional wisdom has it that getting into details is death for political rhetoric. But Clinton shows us that conventional wisdom is wrong when you can connect those details to a central message that is both clear and compelling.
What's the takeaway for us from Clinton's talk? It's this: even if we aren't the oratorical master that the Big Dog is, we can have confidence in our message and that confidence will serve us well as we talk to our friends and family and in public fora.
As progressives we are grounded. We are steeped in ideas that Americans cherish. We have a leg up on our well-funded opposition – even if that opposition might have convinced us otherwise.
What's the lesson of the whole DNC for us? It's this. The majority of Democratic elected officials might be corporatist tools once in office. They might dismiss us as hippies and "retards." But when the going gets tough, it's our message that they count on to resonate with the American people.
We cannot trust them to live out that message, to act on it. They will only borrow it when it suits them. We have to act on that message ourselves. Nobody's going to do it for us. That probably means getting active at the local level – but that's a topic for another blog post.
For now, know this. We have the winning message – and it's time we started acting like it.

She's house trained and very sweet. She prefers a human than toys. She is very friendly. Abagail has some separation anxiety, so would best be suited in a home with someone who is around a majority of the time, or with someone who could bring her along with them to work. She is definitely a lap dog, and likes to be by your side. She would also benefit from further dog-dog socialization"

Diamond demand, prices shine
With the U.S. market forecast to gain in high single digits in 2014, Indian diamantaires train their focus westward, even as domestic demand surges.
Posted: Monday , 09 Jun 2014
Mumbai (Mineweb) -
After trading lower for most of 2012 and flat all of 2013, prices of polished high quality diamonds are suddenly soaring higher. While places in South India have registered a hike of 40% to 50% in diamond prices, diamonds in Mumbai are more expensive by around $506 (Rs 30,000) for a one carat stone.
The price of big stone carats have also jumped by 20% in North India. Jewellers have attributed the sharp rise due to lower supplies and higher demand in the country, reflecting a positive outlook for the diamond sector.
Bangalore Jewellers' Association's DV Ramesh has maintained that the shortage in the market has been brought about by an increasing rarity of diamonds from the diamond mines of Africa, Australia, Canada and Russia, which are no longer producing very high quantity of gems.
Moreover, since no new mines are being discovered, the global supply is expected to plummet further, impacting international and domestic markets, he added.
De Beers, the world's biggest diamond mining company, has also announced that it plans to raise diamond prices by 5% every year in a phased manner. The Indian diamond industry is particularly buoyed by the increase in demand for polished diamonds from the US, Hong Kong, China, UAE and other diamond consuming nations.
Gems and Jewellery Export Promotion Council has said that US polished diamond imports rose 18.8% year on year to $2.03 billion in April. Net polished imports jumped to $426 million as compared to $101 million a year ago.
For the first four months of this year, US polished imports have risen 9.5% year on year to $7.48 billion, while polished exports have increased 8.3% to $6.57 billion, leaving net imports up 18.9% to $909 million.
As per data of the Council, India's polished diamond exports increased by 25.47% in 2013-14, as compared to the previous year. The growth in polished diamond exports was witnessed after September 2013, with officials saying the trend is still continuing.
"The US market, which accounts for 37% in the diamond jewellery segment of the world, is forecast to gain in high single digits in 2014, while there is a good momentum in the Chinese market as well. Domestic demand is also expected to revive this year after a collapse in the rupee, which dented the sales of diamond jewellery in 2013,'' said Manishbhai Kothari, a diamond exporter.
He added that domestic gold jewellery demand has also surged over the last few weeks.
"Though exports of gems and jewellery from India dropped 16% to $2.48 billion in April 2014, the first month of the current fiscal, exports of gold jewellery continued to grow for the third month in a row despite the curbs on gold imports,'' said an official from the Council.
He added that last week, the Council had launched a new business development and marketing campaign to the US, Canada and South America. The purpose of the campaign is to reinvogorate, strengthen and expand the business of Indian diamantaires.
India's gems and jewellery exports to the US stood at $4.79 billion in 2013, as compared to $4.03 billion in 2012, indicating an increase year on year from 11% in 2012 to 13% in 2013.
While the Council is setting up a series of in depth Business Development Conferences, so that the Council and its colleagues in America would have an opportunity to meet in person and discuss issues, the two groups would also work on developing `best practices' directed towards the rapidly changing business landscape.
Additionally, the Council plans to sponsor activities that would support and bolster more work between the two nations.
Council Chairman Vipul Shah said, "We know that the US, Canadian and South American markets are uniquely important to our Indian gem and jewellery industry. India is one of the leading and preferred importing and sourcing destination for these regions.''
The Council would also be presenting the India Pavilion for the 11th consecutive year at the JCK Las Vegas Show, with around 65 top exporter members from the gem and jewellery sector, including studded jewellery, diamonds and coloured gemstones.

Today we drove to Cades Cove in Smoky Mountain National Park. Because it was through the mountains, the road was slow but picturesque. We stopped at a picnic area for lunch, then continued on towards the Cades Cove loop. Part way along the loop, we hiked to the Abrams Falls. About a 5 m hike ...

Gutierrez in 'full fighting mode'
Despite entering only his second season in F1, Esteban Gutierrez feels he is ready to "become a leader" at Sauber. Gutierrez had a mixed debut campaign largely due to Sauber's issues more than his own. However, once the team was on track, he earned his first points of the campaign in Japan when he brought his car home in seventh place. That, though, proved to be his only points-scoring result of the Championship prompting speculation that his days with the team could be numbered. Sauber eventually confirmed him a second season in mid-December. "It was quite a late call with the team confirming me as a racing driver," he said during Sunday's launch of the new C33....

The final spending bill of the 113th Congress, which keeps the government doors open until September 30th of 2015, was passed by the House on December 11th, the Senate on the 13th, and signed by the President on December 16th. It is a $1.1 trillion omnibus spending bill that will direct well over $1 billion toward cybersecurity. Among other things, it will provide $675,500,000 for the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) scientific and technical core programs, which includes $15,000,000 for the National Cybersecurity Center of Excellence, up to $60,700,000 for cybersecurity research and development, $4,000,000 for the National Initiative for Cybersecurity Education, and $16,500,000 for the National Strategy for Trusted Identities in Cyberspace. It also allocates funds to various other federal agencies specifically for cybersecurity, as well as to federal investigative agencies to combat cybercrime. Some of the funds are directed toward developing a more robust cybersecurity workforce, including $35 million to the General Services Administration (GSA) for construction of a "civilian cyber campus" that would house federal employees and contractors dedicated to the civilian cyber security mission. According to a GSA prospectus on the project, the goals of the ... Continue Reading

Congress Confirms NIST's Role in Cybersecurity – and the Continuation of the Cybersecurity FrameworkPosted in Cyber and National Security, Policy and Regulatory Positioning
The Cybersecurity Enhancement Act of 2014 (CEA) was passed by the House and the Senate on December 11th, and signed by the President on the 18th. The bill formalizes the role of the National Institute for Standards and Technology (NIST) in continuing to develop the voluntary Cybersecurity Framework. Through five "titles," the bill includes provisions to promote cybersecurity research, private/public sector collaboration on cybersecurity, education and awareness and technical standards, which includes a federal cloud computing strategy.
Title I of the CEA, entitled "Public-Private Collaboration on Cybersecurity," amends the NIST Act to permit the Secretary of Commerce, through the Director of NIST, to facilitate and support the development of a voluntary, industry-led set of standards and procedures to reduce cyber risks to critical infrastructure – this would be the Cybersecurity Framework. It requires the Director of NIST to coordinate continuously with, and incorporate the industry expertise of, relevant private sector personnel and entities, critical infrastructure owners and operators, sector coordinating councils, Information Sharing and Analysis Centers, and other relevant industry organizations.

Congress Passes Cybersecurity Workforce LegislationPosted in Cyber and National Security, Policy and Regulatory Positioning
The Border Patrol Agent Pay Reform Act of 2014 was passed by the Senate on September 18th, by the House on December 10th, and signed by the President on December 18th. It contains provisions from the Cybersecurity Workforce Recruitment and Retention Act of 2014, which allows the Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to establish cybersecurity positions within DHS to better meet its cybersecurity mission. Another piece of legislation, the Cybersecurity Workforce Assessment Act (CWAA), was passed by the Senate on December 10th, by the House on December 11th, and was also signed by the President on December 18th. It requires DHS to evaluate and enhance its cybersecurity workforce. It requires the Secretary of DHS, within 180 days of the enactment of the CWAA and then annually for the next three years, to assess the cybersecurity workforce of DHS. Among other things, the assessment is to include an evaluation of the readiness and capacity of the DHS workforce to meet its cybersecurity mission.
Comprehensive workforce strategy: The CWAA requires the Secretary of DHS, within one year of its enactment, to develop a comprehensive workforce strategy ... Continue Reading
Congress Passes The Federal Information Security Modernization Act of 2014: Bringing Federal Agency Information Security into the New MillenniumPosted in Cyber and National Security, Policy and Regulatory Positioning
The Federal Information Security Modernization Act of 2014 (FISMA) was passed by the Senate on December 8th, by the House on December 10th, and by the President on December 18th. It is a comprehensive bill intended to bring federal agency information security practices into the new millennium – to better respond to evolving cybersecurity threats. FISMA updates the Federal Information Security Management Act of 2002, and provides a comprehensive framework for ensuring the effectiveness of information security controls over federal information operations and assets. It recognizes the highly networked nature of current federal computing environments and the complex task of coordinating information security efforts throughout the civilian, law enforcement and national security communities. It also acknowledges that commercially developed information security products offer effective information security solutions, and that specific information security solutions should be left to individual agencies from among commercially developed products.
FISMA oversight: FISMA reestablishes the oversight authority of the Director of Office of Management and Budget (OMB) with respect to federal agency information security policies and practices. This includes the development and implementation of principles, standards and guidelines pertaining to information security within federal agencies, and coordinating the development of ...

Congress Passes the National Cybersecurity Protection Act: Codifies National Cybersecurity Center & Creates Federal Agency Data Breach Notification LawPosted in Cyber and National Security, Policy and Regulatory Positioning
The National Cybersecurity Protection Act of 2014 (NCPA) was passed by the House on December 8th, by the Senate on December 10th, and signed by the President on December 18th. Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Chairman Tom Carper (D-Del.) issued the following statement regarding the NCPA: "Cybersecurity is one of the biggest national security challenges our country faces. Our laws should reflect that reality. By codifying the Department of Homeland Security's existing cybersecurity operations center, the National Cybersecurity Protection Act of 2014 bolsters our nation's cybersecurity while providing the department with clear authority to more effectively carry out its mission and partner with private and public entities. It is critical that the department continues to build strong relationships with businesses, state and local governments, and other entities across the country so that we can all be better prepared to stop cyber-attacks and quickly address those intrusions that do occur."
Codification of the National Cybersecurity and Communications Integrity Center: The NCPA codifies the existing cybersecurity and communications operations center at DHS, known as the National Cybersecurity and Communications Integrity Center (NCCIC).

Cybersecurity Legislation Focuses on Federal Government Initiatives – Leaves Private Sector Reforms for 2015Posted in Cyber and National Security, Policy and Regulatory Positioning
One of the few things the parties in Congress can agree upon these days is cybersecurity – at least when it comes to directing the federal government's cyber activities. In its final days, the 113th Congress reached agreement on several major pieces of legislation intended to improve the nation's cybersecurity: the National Cybersecurity Protection Act of 2014, the Federal Information Security Modernization Act of 2014, the Border Patrol Agent Pay Reform Act of 2014 (a bill that contains provisions from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Cybersecurity Workforce Recruitment and Retention Act of 2014), the Cybersecurity Workforce Assessment Act, and the Cybersecurity Enhancement Act of 2014. All of these were signed by the President on December 18th, and will be funded by a $1.1 trillion spending package signed by him on December 16th. In total, the bills update the federal government's roles and responsibilities with respect to planning for and responding to cyber threats, helping them move into the 21st century with a trained workforce. What is notably absent in this nicely wrapped package of bills, however, is any meaningful reforms for the private sector.

Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council Releases Cybersecurity Assessment Results: Boards of Directors and Senior Management Need to EngagePosted in Cyber and National Security
The Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council (FFIEC) released general observations yesterday from a cybersecurity assessment of over 500 community financial institutions. The cybersecurity assessment evaluated the institutions' preparedness to mitigate cyber risks. It ultimately found that due to the critical dependence of financial institutions on information technology to conduct business operations, combined with increasing sector interconnectedness and the rapidly evolving cyber threats, it is more important than ever before that boards of directors and senior management be engaged in managing cybersecurity risk.
The cybersecurity assessment was piloted during the summer of 2014 by FFIEC membership which consists of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, the National Credit Union Administration, and the State Liaison Committee. The assessment supplemented regularly scheduled exams and built upon key supervisory expectations contained within existing FFIEC information technology handbooks and other regulatory guidance.
The cybersecurity assessment found that the level of cybersecurity inherent risk varies significantly across financial institutions. Due to the varied risks, the FFIEC stated that it was important for financial institution management to understand their inherent risk to cybersecurity threats and vulnerabilities. ...

"For cyber criminals, banks are especially tempting targets – not only because banks are where the money is, but also because of the vast amount of proprietary information banks have about their customers." Thomas J. Curry, Comptroller of the Currency
In comments before the Risk Management Association's Governance, Compliance, and Operational Risk Conference last month, Thomas J. Curry, Comptroller of the Currency and Chairman of the Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council [1] stated that "Attacks on our information infrastructure are everywhere. … For cyber criminals, banks are especially tempting targets – not only because banks are where the money is, but also because of the vast amount of proprietary information banks have about their customers. Some attackers target banks because they want to undermine confidence in our country's financial system. Penetrating the information defenses of any one system may enable attackers to penetrate another, and that in turn could enable more widespread attacks on the broader economy."
Comptroller Curry stated that helping to make banks less vulnerable and more resilient to cyber-attacks has been one of his top priorities as Comptroller and Chairman of the FFIEC. As part of this effort, he formed the Cybersecurity and Critical Infrastructure ... Continue Reading
"…Because That's Where the Money Is." OCC Head Highlights Oversight of Cybersecurity for Financial Industry—Will All Vendors Cooperate?Posted in Cyber and National Security
Why are banks often tempting targets for criminals and terrorists alike? Thomas Curry, the head of the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC), recently reminded us: "…because that's where the money is." But what most worries the Comptroller is not a modern-day Bonnie & Clyde or John Dillinger attacking banks from without, but rather scofflaws, "hacktivists," terrorists and foreign regimes exploiting vulnerabilities in the financial industry's cybersecurity and striking from within.
Over the last few months, Mr. Curry has taken to the speaking circuit, venturing from the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) Government Conference last April to the New England Council in May to raise the question of how vulnerable the nation's financial sector is to cyber-attack. Mr. Curry noted that while consumers are rightfully concerned about the security of the financial tools they use on a daily basis—from credit card readers at the mall to Internet bill pay and online banking—many do not consider "what goes on behind the scenes" to process these transactions. "Yet the impact of a cyber-attack on those systems could be even more disruptive than a data leak at a large retail store," Mr. Curry told the CES. "It's one thing to worry about ... Continue Reading
Department of Energy Invites Cybersecurity CommentsPosted in Cyber and National Security, Energy
In a Federal Register notice to be officially published Friday, June 20, 2014, the Department of Energy (DOE) is inviting public participation in its efforts to develop a guidance document entitled "Energy Sector Framework Implementation Guidance." The term "Framework" references the Framework for Improving Critical Infrastructure Cybersecurity which was released by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) on February 12, 2014. In a prepublication notice, the DOE announced that "[t]he document is being designed to help energy sector stakeholders develop or align existing cybersecurity risk management programs with the Cybersecurity Framework. The document will also take in to consideration energy sector organizations that may have business activities across multiple critical infrastructure sectors, e.g., Dams, Transportation, Chemicals, etc. requiring a harmonized implementation approach with these other sectors." The notice stated that bi-weekly conference calls will "provide periodic opportunities for participants to comment on the incremental updates to the Draft Framework Implementation Guidance document."...

Managing Risk in an Inhospitable Environment: The Restaurant and Hospitality Industries are an Alluring Destination for Cyber ThievesPosted in Cyber and National Security, Data Protection, Retail/Hospitality
The recent onslaught of cybersecurity incidents and payment card thefts dominate daily headlines and have captured the nation's attention—from the diner whose credit card was compromised during a data breach to the President of the United States who recently advocated passage of national data breach legislation: everyone has a stake in this issue. Beyond the headlines, however, the hospitality and restaurant industries are under constant attack by cyber thieves attempting to breach point of sale (PoS) servers and any other crack in their digital infrastructure. And while the data breaches reported by Target, Michaels and Neiman Marcus dominated the headlines, cyber thieves focused much of their attention on food, beverage and hospitality providers. The quick take away is that where data can be obtained and monetized, it will be stolen and the restaurant and hospitality industries are an alluring destination for cyber thieves.
The PoS Problem
In 2012, credit card and debit card fraud resulted in losses of $11.27 billion. While the total cyber theft losses for 2013 are not yet known, over 342 million identities were compromised in 2013. It appears that the most common cyberattack, and perhaps the most devastating economically and reputationally, involves the compromise of PoS ... Continue Reading
Government Officials Continue to Reference NIST FrameworkPosted in Communications/Media, Cyber and National Security, Data Protection
On Thursday, June 12, 2014, while delivering remarks on cybersecurity at the American Enterprise Institute in Washington, D.C., Federal Communications Commission Chairman Tom Wheeler challenged businesses to be more proactive in addressing increasingly prevalent threats to their cybersecurity, urging them to embrace a "new paradigm" in which the private sector takes the lead and regulators step in to address shortcomings. In doing so, he urged businesses to use the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Framework for Improving Critical Infrastructure Cybersecurity. Wheeler's comments followed similar comments two days earlier by U.S. Securities and Exchange Commissioner Luis Aguilar. As mentioned in our previous advisory, during a "Cyber Risks and the Boardroom" Conference at the New York Stock Exchange on June 10, 2014, Commissioner Aguilar noted that while the NIST Framework provides voluntary guidance for any company, some commentators have already suggested that it will likely become a baseline for best practices by companies, including in assessing legal or regulatory exposure to cybersecurity issues or for insurance purposes....

SEC Commissioner Calls on Corporate Boards to Address Cybersecurity—Refers to NIST Cyber Framework as "the Bible"Posted in Communications/Media, Cyber and National Security, Data Protection
While attending the "Cyber Risks and the Boardroom" Conference at the New York Stock Exchange on Tuesday, June 10, 2014, U.S. Securities and Exchange Commissioner Luis Aguilar called on corporate boards to make sure they are taking the necessary steps to address and oversee their companies' cybersecurity risks. In a prepared statement, he said that ensuring the adequacy of a firm's cybersecurity measures "needs to be a critical part of a board of directors' risk oversight responsibilities." He said that "(e)ffective board oversight of management's efforts to address these issues is critical to preventing and effectively responding to successful cyber-attacks and, ultimately, to protecting companies and their consumers, as well as protecting investors and the integrity of the capital markets."
United States Charges China with Cyber-Espionage in Unprecedented IndictmentPosted in Cyber and National Security, Global
The indictment alleges that, between 2006 and 2014, the five individuals, while working for the Chinese People's Liberation Army, hacked or attempted to hack into six U.S. companies in the nuclear power, solar, and metals industries to steal sensitive, non-public business information and trade secrets. The indictment alleges that the defendants stole this information to obtain economic advantages for Chinese state-owned enterprises (SOE) and other state interests. A summary of the specific allegations may be read in the DOJ's press release about the indictment. The allegations of criminal conduct range from the defendants stealing proprietary information from Westinghouse Electric Co. about the design of its powers plants while it was in negotiations with an SOE for the construction of plants in China, to the theft of emails from the United Steel, Paper and Forestry, Rubber, Manufacturing, Energy, Allied Industrial and Service Workers International Union ...

California Bill Would Create Cyber Security CommissionPosted in Cyber and National Security, Data Protection, Policy and Regulatory Positioning
In recognition of the increasing threat that cyber-attacks pose to the state's infrastructure and the considerable costs that government and private sectors are estimated to spend on cyber security (more than $70 billion estimated to be spent in 2014 nationally), Assembly Speaker John Perez has introduced a bill to establish a "Cyber Security Commission."
The bill (AB 2200), if passed, would authorize the proposed commission to develop public-private partnerships to share cyber security and cyber threat information and to improve cyber security and cyber response strategies. The commission is required to meet monthly and submit quarterly reports to the Governor's Office and Legislature on the status and progress of cyber security efforts.
The commission would be comprised of a wide range of representatives from the Legislature, private industry, state, local, and federal government, including the following or their designees who have knowledge in information technology and information security: the California Director of Technology, the Chief of the California Office of Information Security, the President of the California Public Utilities Commission, representatives from the state universities, private sectors (retail, finance, utilities, healthcare or technology), the FBI, and the federal Department of Justice. Among other things, AB 2200 requires the Cyber Security ... Continue Reading
California AG Weighs in on CybersecurityPosted in Cyber and National Security, Policy and Regulatory Positioning
Just as NIST completes its version 1.0 national Framework for Improving Critical Infrastructure Cybersecurity, California Attorney General Kamala Harris has made clear she intends a leadership role for California. With a guide called "Cybersecurity in the Golden State: How California Businesses Can Protect Against and Respond to Malware, Data Breaches and Other Cyberincidents," the AG offers a simplified, brief, and plain English version of cybersecurity protections directed toward small and medium size California businesses that likely lack the resources to hire full-time cybersecurity personnel. The Guide's "Practical Steps to Minimize Cyber Vulnerabilities" are based on acknowledged deficiencies in the devices, websites, and apps at the network's edge, and on the need for users and businesses to discipline their behavior and increase their vigilance against threats. The best practices outlined in the Guide are not unique to small or medium size businesses and overlap to a large extent NIST's perspective on threats and cyber recommendations from many sources. The NIST Framework provides greater detail and is more explicit in the latitude it provides for business judgments about the proportionality of precautions with respect to the specific risks. Both the California Guide and NIST Framework seek to ... Continue Reading
FTC's 50th Data Security Settlement Sends a Message: Be Careful with Overseas ContractorsPosted in Cyber and National Security, Healthcare, Litigation
The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) sent a message about the importance of imposing appropriate security measures on—and monitoring—vendors with access to confidential consumer information. The FTC issued a 20-year consent order with GMR Transcription Services (GMR) over its overseas contractor's data security breach. The decision marks the FTC's 50th information security settlement and fifth health information complaint (four of which have settled). For health care providers and business associates, the GMR settlement suggests that the FTC has higher expectations than HHS regarding management and oversight of vendors and other downstream subcontractors, especially when these vendors are outside of U.S. jurisdiction. The GMR settlement did not involve security failures by GMR itself, but by a subcontractor, Fedtrans.CONTINUE READING …... Continue Reading

More Online Trouble for Service Providers?Posted in Cyber and National Security, Marketing and Consumer Privacy
Google is facing increased scrutiny of its data collection and use practices, which may be a warning to all Internet and online service providers. Last week, Judge Koh in San Jose held Google accountable for an alleged violation of the wiretap laws for Google's "undisclosed" review of subscribers' emails and other data to deliver targeted ads and create user profiles. Among other things, the fact that Google warned its Gmail users that it "may" review their emails was apparently not the same as saying it "will" review them.
In the Street View case I blogged on the week before, the Ninth Circuit found that Google violated the same wiretap laws when, as part of compiling Street View data, it accessed unencrypted Wi-Fi transmissions, despite exceptions in the wiretap laws permitting access to unencrypted radio signals. Google filed for panel and en banc rehearing.... Continue Reading
Deadline for Compliance with Updated COPPA Rules Draws NearPosted in Cyber and National Security, Marketing and Consumer Privacy
By: Ronald G. London and Robert G. Scott, Jr.
The July 1, 2013, deadline for complying with the Federal Trade Commission's (FTC) updated regulations implementing its Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA Rule) is around the corner, as discussed in our post here on the FTC's denial of additional time and its revised "Frequently Asked Questions" to guide compliance efforts. Our earlier advisory provides details on, e.g., the expansion of data collection activities covered by COPPA, including through persistent identifiers, new types of personal information whose collection will trigger the rule, clarification of how to obtain parental consent, refinements on what the Commission will deem to be a "child-directed" site covered by COPPA, and more. The FTC's COPPA Rule amendments are the first update to capture technological developments and evolving popular online practices – primarily social networking, smartphone Internet access, and the ability to use geolocation information – that arose after the law was enacted....

Bills on Use of Mobile-Device-Location Data ReintroducedPosted in Cyber and National Security
By Brad Guyton
Updating our entry on this issue posted during the last Congress, on March 21, 2013, lawmakers in the House and Senate reintroduced companion bills intended to curb government use of mobile users' geolocation data. The reintroduced Geolocation Privacy and Surveillance Act is nearly identical to legislation introduced nearly two years ago, as described in our prior post. However, unlike two years ago, the bills are not accompanied by companion legislation requiring users' permission for industry to share geolocation data, as was the case previously with the Location Privacy Protection Act of 2011.
The newly reintroduced Geolocation Privacy and Surveillance Act, sponsored again in the Senate by Sen. Ron Wyden (D-Or.) and in the House by Rep. Jason Chaffetz (R-Utah), would require the government and law enforcement agencies to obtain a warrant before accessing a person's geolocation data, i.e., GPS information logged through Wi-fi networks and cellular towers. The legislation is modeled after existing wiretapping and electronic surveillance laws and would add to Title 18 of the U.S. Code a new chapter 120 entitled "Protection of Geolocation Information."
Several exceptions would apply, including those for emergency responders, parents of minors, and intelligence investigations under the Patriot Act. ... Continue Reading
California District Court Finds National Security Letter Statute UnconstitutionalPosted in Cyber and National Security

Don't know if this is the place or not to comment on a mod. And since I have like ZERO modding experience, I doubt if I will be of much help.
This is more like a general overview/outline of a quest.
Was thinking along the lines of the main female character (myself) investigating rumors of some sort of mysterious secret cult in the area. She (myself or with the group) go to the area. We get split up somehow if I do travel with the party. As I would sneak and explore around the castle/cave/dungeon area, I would get ambushed. Either captured or knocked out or otherwise rendered unconscious.
I would be held or restrained or tied up and the leader would explain that I would be their newest "recruit". This person could just be a demented charismatic sort of leader, or some kind of mythical creature like a Lich, Vampire, Mindflayer, etc. And the cult would be some sort of club which worships or values sexuality above all else. And perhaps the act of sex or sexual activity would be (in his/her mind) the thing which feeds him and/or gives him his life's energy.
He/she/members of said cult would try to "recruit" me by either molesting me there, or taking me to another place there and tied/restrained while hands and fingers and (who knows what else) would be touching, feeling, molesting my body until I can't take it anymore and give in (or resist, depending on stats/strength of me at the time). Or just raped and the act itself would be cheered on and be the culmination of the ceremony which would further give power to the leader/creature of the cult.
If I am with a party, the same thing could be happening to them in other areas of the place.
Anyway, just a quick and dirty (pun intended) review of something I thought of as some sort of side quest.

Northern Ireland's most senior judges rejected Caroline Barnes legal bid to overturn an order for the destruction of her pet, Lennox.
The seven-year-old animal was seized by City Council officials in May 2010.
Two lower courts have already ruled that it should be put down because it poses a risk to the public under dangerous dogs legislation.
Ms Barnes, 35, had accepted her pet was a pit bull type, but claimed there had been a failure to properly consider a possible exemption scheme.
Her legal team went before the Court of Appeal seeking to compel the County Court judge who confirmed the destruction order to state a case on points of law.
They argued that the animal has never bitten anyone and has behaved impeccably since being impounded.
He (the County Court judge) found as a fact, as he was fully entitled to do on the evidence, that the dog could not be rendered safe.Lord Justice Girvan
He (the County Court judge) found as a fact, as he was fully entitled to do on the evidence, that the dog could not be rendered safe.
Lord Justice Girvan
According to Ms Barnes' lawyers, the dog has not been given the chance to show it can be made safe.
The decision that Lennox should be put down came after amendments to the Dangerous Dogs Act were extended to Northern Ireland in 2011.
The new legislation introduced a discretionary element to automatic destruction for pit bull-types, based on whether the animal is deemed a danger to the public.
A major campaign has been waged to save Lennox, including an online petition which has attracted huge support.
But with Ms Barnes not in attendance on Tuesday, the Court of Appeal verdict appeared to spell the end.
Lord Justice Girvan, sitting with Lord Chief Justice Sir Declan Morgan and Lord Justice Higgins, set out how dog wardens who tried to examine and measure Lennox in May 2010 were told by a man it would "rip their head off".
An expert dog handler retained by the City Council concluded that the dog had a severe personality defect.
He considered that it had a problem with strangers and said it was impossible to determine when the dog would be under stress.
Conflicting evidence was given by Ms Barnes' expert, who described Lennox as well-handled and a wonderful family dog.
Lord Justice Girvan rejected arguments that the County Court judge failed to properly consider provisions in the 2011 Act when concluding that local authorities in Northern Ireland have no facilities to issue exemption certificates.
"He found as a fact, as he was fully entitled to do on the evidence, that the dog could not be rendered safe by the imposition of a scheme of conditions designed to render it safe," Lord Justice Girvan said.
"The judge had heard evidence on the issues relating to this dog over a protracted two day hearing, carefully considered the evidence and the issues and he reached conclusions of fact which have not been vitiated by any error of law on his part."
Backing the earlier decision, he added: "Accordingly we must dismiss the application to compel the judge to state a case."

The repair was easy, what took the longest was cleaning the lint from the inside of the dryer and the housing that holds the lint filter. The inside of our dryer is now as free of lint as the day we bought it.To make the repairs I pulled the dryer away from the wall and removed the vent hose and unplugged the dryer from the outlet.I then removed the screws from the back panel so I could replace the thermal fuse. I did this by removing one screw from the thermal fuse and pulled it free from the dryer.I then installed the new thermal fuse and screwed it to the dryer.Then I removed one wire at a time and installed them to the new thermal fuse.I then screwed the back panel to the dryer.Next I removed the screws and panel behind the control panel of the dryer so I could replace the timer.Once I could see the timer I compared my timer to the new one before doing anything else.Then I removed control knob from front of timer.Removed the screws holding old timer in place.Installed new timer to dryer with same screws and installed control knob to timer.Then I removed one wire at time from old timer and installed to new one, I did this until all wires had been connected.Then I installed the panel to the back of the control panel with the same screws.Installed new vent hose to back of dryer and plugged cord back into the outlet. Pushed dryer back into place.Remove old torn lint filter and replaced it with the new one.Wife then tried dryer out and it worked. Dryers been working just fine ever since.

After receiving the part I pulled the dryer out for easy access. Used only a nut driver to remove back cover and the part to replace was easily identified. Then it took a little while to remove all the dust and other particles that had built up over the years. The actual replacement of the part only took a couple of minutes. Reattached the back cover and put back in place. Turned on dryer and I now had heat. Easy fix.
Time to do repair:30 - 60 mins

My wife and I thought our dryer was done and we were looking at a large replacement costs. We started googling and found this site and watched the video. We are were 99% sure it was the thermal fuse. We received within 2 days and thought we would be in there for over an hour. Turned it was less than 10 minutes, we watched the video clip on how to install on our laptop as we did it. We will always be buying parts from this site and have told a ton of friends/family to check this site out. It saved us so much money!!!!

Longest time needed was to determine what cause was. After that ordering part from PartSelect was very easy and saved me money. Part arrived before time given, part was correct and installed without problems.
CustomerAbrahan from Laredo TX
first, I read the other repair stories and used them as a guide.I checked to see if the heating element was broken. It was not. The Thermal Cut off Kit was the ticket for me. I replaced the three easy parts it contained. Repair time was 30 minutes tops that includes checking the heating element and removing and replacing all three possible culprits (of the Thermal Cut-off Kit). Thanks a million. Happy Ending!Oh by the way, my dryer now dries super fast(saving me a bundle)

CustomerChris from Inman SC
First I removed the back of the dryer. Then I used a multimeter to check the thermostsats and the one time use fuse. I found that the fuse had burnt out and one of the thermostats ha checked bad. I changed the fuse by removeing the one screw and lifting the fuse out. Replaced the fuse and reinstalled. I also made sure that the fan for the dyer and the lint trap area were clean. I also changed both of the thermostats while I had the dryer apart. Reassembled the dryer. Everything worked. NICE! No repair bills or buying a new unit.
Time to do repair:More than 2 hours

CustomerSteve from Oak Park CA
An online help site lead me to believe the problem was the gas igniter. After ordering that and installing it I discovered that wasn't the problem. I took a look at the schematic which is in the electrical compartment and found that there is more than one thermal breaker. I found the other one, ordered and installed the part and had it running within 30 minutes. I had to access the back of the unit, remove the back cover with a socket wrench, unscrew the thermal breaker and re-install the new one with no special tools.
CustomerRick from Benicia CA
I opened the front lower cover to get the schematics. Looked for the most probable part that was bad. Then traced wiring from the gas solenoid to find the thermal fuse.I opened the back. Took the two wires off the thermal fuse and put my Ohm meter from terminal to terminal. As I got no reading, I ordered a new fuse. It took about 5 minutes to replace and button the dryer back up. This is the second time I have had to replace this fuse.

CustomerFelicia from Parsons TN
First removed the wires with a flat head screw driver then removed the screw that holds the fuse in place with a socket wrench. I then replaced the fuse in reverse order. The thermostat was a little bit harder to reach but I removed the wires with a flat head screw drive then removed the two screws that hold it in place. I placed the new thermostate and did the procedure in reverse. I have to say this company gets the product to the consumer in very quick manner. I order the part on Tuesday and had it by Thursday morning before lunch. I highly recommend this company. As far a fixing the problem figured out it was the heating element, so I ordered it on Wednesday had it by Thursday at noon. I was a little more difficulty to replace but was simple after I got started. First I removed the bracket holding the front of the element (2) screws, unscrewed the single screw holding the element in place. Pulled out the element, cleaned out the lint and undid the wiring. Placed the new element in reverse order and had heat. It works great, heating like it was new. Saved me over 600.00 for a new one and I spend a little less than 100.00 dollars for the repair and a little of my tme.
CustomerLyndon from Bloomington IN
I read troubleshooting tips from other users of this website. This website had all the information I needed to accomplish the repair. I unplugged the dryer, then tipped it onto its front. I then used a nut driver to remove the dryer backing. After removing the dryer backing, I used the same nut driver to remove the heating element cover since it was the part I initially suspected. The same size nut driver worked on all the parts. Per recommendations I read on the site, the first thing I did was a continuity check on the heating element. It was good. After reviewing some input from this site, the next best step seemed to be replacing the Cycling Thermostat. I ordered and installed it, but it didn't fix the problem. The cool thing? PartSelect.com got me the part within a couple of days. So, I came back to PartsSelect.com and ordered the next two cheapest parts (ordered two parts at once to save on shipping and handling). The parts came within 4 days. I used the Thermal Cut-Off Kit in its entirety and the problem was fixed! THANK YOU PARTSSELECT. Here's an impact statement: The day after the dryer had stopped working, I called a repair shop. They told me that if they came out that day, the cost would be $85, plus parts, plus labor. I figured that would run around $140 - $150. Total for PartSelect.com? Around $60 (including shipping and handling) -- and I didn't even use all the parts I ordered.
CustomerDavid from Orem UT
The major issue was getting the dryer out and cleaning it all up. That's what took the time but it was worth it to clean out the lint in the ducts, etc.. Putting the thermal fuse was a snap thanks to the great feedback received when I got this web site and read the previous responses.

CustomerPAUL from ARLINGTON HEIGHTS IL
It took me 5 minutes to find PartSelect's site, read the comments about the most common problems and identify the solution. The exploded views were a great assist, as it wasn't obvious where the thermal fuse is located or which access panel to remove. It took less than 5 minutes to remove the rear panel and install a temporary jumper to verify the blown fuse was the only issue. With the new fuse in hand, replair took another 5 minutes.A word of caution to anyone replacing is fuse - I found that the exhaust vent pipe to the wall was full of lint and nearly blocked. This is a potential fire hazard. While enough air was passing through the flapper vent to make it look like it was OK, the exhaust resistance is what caused the overheating and made the fuse blow. I spent more time cleaning out the vent pipe than replacing the fuse, for a total of 25 minutes. I strongly urge all dryer owners to physically inspect the exhaust duct annually.PS Drying time has decreased by 30-40% since the repair.
Customerrichard from media PA
Went to literature for info only to find that there was no electrical schematic or part numbers given for repair. Disconnected vent and removed back (6 hexhead screws). Removing and testing my parts then matching the parts with pictures found on parts select and using the numbers found on the parts, was able to order a new thermal fuse and also replace the cycling thermostat. Tested the unit, replaced the back with screws, cleaned & connected the vent then went on to start dirtying more clothes.

It was a bittersweet road trip for six members of the field maintenance shop at the Pennsylvania Army National Guard base in Cambridge Springs near Erie.
Traveling in two large National Guard work trucks, the group came to Kane on Friday to deliver a 2010 Harley-Davidson motorcycle to the Tom and Sue VanGiesen residence at 137 Lincoln St.

ST. MARYS ŌĆō Due to the high cost of purchasing a pre-engineered public restroom facility from Oregon, the Elk County Conservation District is pursuing other alternatives for the West Creek Wetland Learning Center.
"I have met with the [Elk County] commissioners and the planning commission a few times over the past few weeks to discuss the project," said District Manager Steve Putt. "We have kind of decided to take a step back."
With the U.S. Supreme Court voting to uphold the constitutionality of the federal Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, commonly known as "Obamacare," in a 5-4 decision on Thursday, reaction from local residents was mixed, with some staunchly opposed to the action, others in favor, and others finding both merit and fault with the provisions of the health care act.
Sara Bolden of St. Marys said she she wholly supported the Supreme Court's, decision adding that the president "didn't go far enough," with the health care law.

... cable car. I don't want to know how many hours it took over the holidays…
The view from the cable car was amazing but arriving on the mountain top was even better. On the ground it was cloudy and on the mountain we were above the clouds and it was warm and sunny. We were on about 1600m height. After taking some first breathtaking pictures we hiked the stairs up and down to our hotel which took about an hour. Even on the mountains everything is plastered ...

... didn't want to get stuck on the mountain. Again, that was worth it. I got to see another completely gorgeous side of the mountain I hadn't been able to see before.This time everyone was really exhausted. And we still had to go to the waterfall. Boo. I was cranky. If it had been a little hike I would have been fine, but it was a fairly large one, especially considering all the walking we had done the day before. More than half the group didn't go up all the way. I half ...
Spinning around Jinhua City
The history of Jinhua goes back to the 2nd century BC, when it was a country subordinate to Shaoxing. It was given the name Jinhua under the Sui Dynasty in 598, and later became the seat of a prefecture. The present city and its walls date to the time of the Mongol emperors in 1352. The most famous native of Jinhua is the Immortal Huang, a Daoist holy man of the 4th century AD, whose descendants still live in the area.

Students here are so friendly but one thing about them was, they really stare at us whenever we went. So which was really uncomfortable for us to roam around freely. But most of all I had a great time there.
