Research In Motion Inc.'s BlackBerry led the global market for data-centric handheld computers last year, despite a high-profiled patent-infringement lawsuit, a research firm said Monday.
The Canadian firm's email device accounted for 21.4 percent of the record 14.9 million personal digital assistants shipped last year, Gartner Inc. said. The total number of shipments was 19 percent higher than in 2004, and topped the previous record of 13.2 million PDAs in 2001.
The BlackBerry became the leading PDA worldwide last year, as the number shipments jumped almost 47 percent over the previous year, despite RIM's legal battle with patent-holding company NTP Inc. The case, which is pending, could lead to a court-ordered shutdown of RIM's BlackBerry service in the United States. However, experts believe the chances are slim, and the company says it has a workaround ready to replace the technology in question.
The BlackBerry shipments in the report do not include 858,000 BlackBerry smartphones shipped last year, Gartner said. Those units are classified differently because of their voice-centric design.
"RIM does not appear to be losing much momentum despite its legal problems and the threat of an injunction," Gartner analyst Todd Kort said in a statement. "Generally, BlackBerry users are staying put because of the high cost of switching, lack of suitable alternative devices, and the low probability of BlackBerry service being shut down."
The remaining top three vendors, which collectively account for more than half of the market, each experienced a drop in shipments. Palm Inc. plummeted by almost 26 percent to a market share of 18.6 percent, and Hewlett-Packard Co. fell 15 percent to a slightly more than 15 percent share.
The results for Palm excluded its Treo smartphone shipments of 1.95 million units in 2005. The Treo is expected to cannibalize Palm's PDA sales, surpassing the latter this year, Gartner said.
Microsoft Corp.'s Windows CE was the leading PDA operating system last year. The OS ran more than 7 million PDAs, up 33 percent from 2004. Shipments of the Palm OS fell 34 percent to nearly 3 million units in 2005.

Add is_html flag to contrib.messages

Description (last modified by lukeplant)
I would like to have add a message.is_html flag to the Message model of the contrib.messages app.
The flag would be set to False by default and could be explicitly overridden for messages that are HTML. There are times when it would be helpful to the end user to include an html link in a message ("Welcome, click here to create a profile", "You've sent 25 points to user_b, click here to see your balance," etc.), and with the current message system there is not a good way to do this.
Adding the is_html flag would require a minor set of backward compatible changes:
def success(request, message, extra_tags='', fail_silently=False): to def success(request, message, extra_tags='', fail_silently=False, is_html=False): def add_message(request, level, message, extra_tags='', fail_silently=False): to def add_message(request, level, message, extra_tags='', fail_silently=False, is_html=False): def __init__(self, level, message, extra_tags=None): to def __init__(self, level, message, extra_tags=None, is_html=False): #add to __init__ self.is_html = is_html
Then in the template:
{% if message.is_html %}{{ message|safe }}{% else %}{{ message }}{% endif %}.
Alternative ways to do this:
- Run all messages through the safe filter
This would require a code-wide policy of "make sure you escape anything in a message that might have user input" such as if my message is "your post %s is now published" % blog.post or "%s has sent you the message %s" %(user, message.content). I would then have to worry about every variable I use in a message string, if it could contain script, and if it is already escaped (or escape everything again). I would also have to worry if everyone else working on the codebase is doing this correctly.
- Use a tag
I could have a policy of adding "html" to the tags I want to run through the safe filter, but this is also fraught with downsides. Since all tags get output into html, the safe flag would end up output to the end user. The template logic is less clear and error prone.
If this isn't violating a core django design precept, I'll get started on a patch in the next few days.

- Description modified (diff)
- Summary changed from Add is_safe flag to contrib.messages to Add is_html flag to contrib.messages
- Triage Stage changed from Unreviewed to Accepted
It isn't at all obvious what 'is_safe' refers to. I thought you were talking about trusted vs untrusted messages. 'is_html' would be much clearer - so I've changed that. I also fixed up some other things in the description where you seemed to switch from "safe" to "test" - it was a bit confusing.
Other than that, I can see the case for this request. We need to think about XSS, but AFAICS there is no issue. The Cookie backend for Messages is potentially vulnerable, but 1) Cookies are a very poor vector for XSS, and 2) we are signing and checking all Messages using HMAC.
With regards to compatibility, we would also need to ensure that messages pickled before the change can be unpickled after it.
So I've accepted this ticket, assuming we can find a fully backwards compatible solution.
comment:3 Changed 4 years ago by tedtieken
- Keywords html added
Not sure where "test" came from... probably end of the day brain fog.
Agree with the change to "is_html"
Cookie backend.
The current method stores the message as a 3 or 4 item list in json: [flag, level, message, optionally extra_tags]. The decoding method relies on this information being a list of 3 or 4 items to recreate the message object:
#obj is the json object transformed into a list, obj[0] is a flag set to '__json_message' return Message(*obj[1:])
Adding another optional argument creates a problem. If we have [flag, level, message, extra_tags, is_html] the message decoding works, but if we have [flag, level, message, is_html] then the is_html tag is positionally interpreted as the value of extra_tags.
The solution I see to this is always store extra_tags and optionally store is_html. In the case where there aren't extra tags, store an empty string.
class MessageEncoder(json.JSONEncoder): """ Compactly serializes instances of the ``Message`` class as JSON. """ message_key = '__json_message' def default(self, obj): if isinstance(obj, Message): message = [self.message_key, obj.level, obj.message] if obj.extra_tags: message.append(obj.extra_tags) else: #New message.append(str()) #New if obj.is_html: #New message.append(obj.is_html) #New return message return super(MessageEncoder, self).default(obj)
In the no extra_tags scenario, this solution has additional storage overhead of 4 characters - ,"", - IMHO that's acceptable.
Legacy cookies will continue to pass the hash check because we haven't changed the hashing algorithm or what was stored.
Since legacy messages are lists of length 3 or 4 and will never have the is_html flag set to true, the Message() call would still behave as expected with legacy cookies - the call would be either Message(level, message) or Message(level, message, extra_tags).
To use cookie stored messages in an xss attack, the attacker would have to know the site's secret key, because if the hash doesn't match the cookie backend discards the messages.
Putting user input into an un-escaped output always has the possibility to open up an xss hole, but no more here than in any other feature. By having is_html as an optional, False-by-default variable I think we make it pretty hard to accidentally display a message as html.
Going to take a look at the session backend tonight.
comment:4 Changed 4 years ago by tedtieken
Took a look at the session backend last night.
So long as is_html is an optional parameter on init we shouldn't run into any trouble unpickling legacy messages.
However, depending on implementation there is a chance we would end up with a heterogeneous set of message objects: some with .is_html set, some without a .is_html property. In tests last night with pickling, just adding is_html=False in the method declaration was not sufficient to get an is_html property on unpickled legacy messages.
Option 1: use a class variable to ensure there is always a value for is_html
class Message(StrAndUnicode): is_html = False #NEW, could be deprecated in a future release def __init__(self, level, message, extra_tags=None, is_html=False): #Modified self.level = int(level) self.message = message self.extra_tags = extra_tags self.is_html = is_html #NEW
Because there is the class level is_html, even though the instance may not have the attribute any attempt to access my_message.is_html will first check the instance then not finding it fall back to the class.
Option 2: Omit the class level variable and live with heterogeneous messages. The primary use case for is_html is {% if message.is_html %} in the template. The template handles a missing attribute as False, so heterogeneity doesn't cause any issues there. I struggle to come up with a scenario where someone would be interacting with the messages in python code, perhaps some kind of check to see if a message is already queued and to add it if not.
Even though I struggle to find a way Option2 would cause trouble, it has the potential to do so, so I'm in favor of option 1.
comment:5 Changed 4 years ago by lukeplant
I would propose that you change the serialisation in the cookie backend to a list that is always 5 items. That way we can easily tell the old from the new, and the new always have the full set of data. We can live with the overhead, and it is more robust going forward. We can encode the boolean is_html as 0 or 1 for compactness.
For the session backend, a better option is to simply fix up the defective instances of Message after unpickling.

comment:6 Changed 4 years ago by tedtieken
- Has patch set
- Needs documentation set
- Needs tests set
I coded up a patch, and it is passing previous tests on my system.
Need to write new tests:
- ensure it is accurately recovering legacy messages
- test that the is_html tag is being set and retrieved as expected
Passing legacy tests says to me that api backward compatibility has been achieved.
Of note: In base test_multiple_posts(): had to reduce the number of test messages per level from 10 to 9 (from 50 to 45 messages total. 10 appeared to be pushing past the cookie size limit.)
Also of note: To get backward compatibility I had to write the api functions as
def debug(request, message, extra_tags='', fail_silently=False, is_html=False): instead of def debug(request, message, extra_tags='', is_html=False, fail_silently=False):
The later would be more intuitive [request], [message_content], [optional_message_content], [optional_message_content], [behavior_flag].
Given that positional arguments are now non-intuitively ordered, the docs should probably encourage or at least show examples using keyword arguments:
messages.debug(request, "my message", extra_tags="markup this_way", is_html=True)

The requested feature already works if someone doesn't use the cookie storage but the session storage and uses mark_safe for the messages (since the session storage uses pickle to serialize the data and not json like the cookie storage does). Now the question is whether or not to add this new feature or just to extend the cookie storage to support SafeUnicode/SafeString.
Granted; is_html is probably more explicit, but I just wanted to raise this as an option…

An alternative naming could be 'allow_tags' to be consistent with list_display methods.

We added support for safe strings in cookie storage in #19387. I think that this resolves this issue.

Consolidation in the travel industry has become as common as picking up a daily newspaper for some companies. TripAdvisor recently announced its most recent acquisition, a $200 million deal for tours and activities provider Viator, which is the company's fourth move of 2014. Continue reading

The Next Step in OTA/Metasearch Convergence
Online Travel Agencies (OTAs) have taken the travel and hospitality industries to a new level over the past decade, but in recent years there has been a shift towards convergence of OTAs and metasearch engines. Metasearch engines, like Kayak, TripAdvisor, and Hipmunk, have traditionally shuttled users to OTAs or air/car rental sites white it came time to complete their bookings.
In essence, the metasearch engine was the means for getting to the ultimate endpoint of the OTA. Forward thinking companies like Expedia and Priceline utilized this stream of production to their advantage by acquiring their own metasearch engines. Expedia Inc. controls Trivago and the Priceline Group owns Kayak.
Companies like Orbitz, Travelocity, and CheapOair are considered metasearch "paupers" according to a recent Skift article, but Orbitz Worldwide CEO Barney Harford sees things differently, and last year he boasted that his company did not need to make a speculative investment and acquire a travel metasearch site.
The Orbitz Plan
While Orbitz Worldwide does not own their own metasearch engine, Orbitz.com, Cheaptickets.com, and LastMinute.com have done the next best thing. With an assist from advertising soultions' provider Intent Media, the three OTA sites have not integrated metasearch-like hotel pricing from competitor's sites right beneath some of their own hotel displays.
From the hotel display, a user can click on one of the competitor's links and navigate away to that site to make a hotel booking.
Why This Model Makes Sense
Intent Media co-founder and CEO Richard Harris says the logic behind these property price ads are that only about 5% of lookers may book something on an OTA site, and these metasearch-like ads with hotel rates enable the OTAs to monetize the users who want to comparison shop and would likely book elsewhere anyway.
OTAs have displayed similar ads from competitor's sites before – but usually without showing the competitors' rates. If they displayed links to competitors, they would usually do so opening one browser at a time and without first showing any pricing.
However, displaying these opposing rates, while somewhat risky or seemingly counter-intuitive for the publishing site, earns a higher cost per click than not showing the rates because lookers are more likely to book.

Travel Trends: OTAs Look to Loyalty Programs
In the 1990's, online travel agencies (OTAs) threw a wrench in the hotel booking process by allowing travelers to compare prices across multiple hotels, inspiring consumers to book rooms through third-party sources rather than directly through hotels. These bookings sites tacked on a hefty transaction fee, but the convenience of being able to search multiple options in one place made the extra charges worthwhile for the traveler.
Fast forward two decades and there is a new trend that property owners, managers, hoteliers, and other members of the travel space should know about. The rise of metasearch sites like Kayak and Bing – which allow travelers to not only compare prices across hotels, but also across OTAs – has intensified the rivalry between booking sites, leaving companies like Expedia and Orbitz fighting for repeat customers.
But how are these brands creating this repeat traffic?
How to Create Loyalty Among OTAs?
To match Web competitors and increase brand loyalty, "it's in the interest of online travel agencies to keep upping the ante," said Clem Bason, CEO of DealBase.com.
In order to influence customer fidelity, OTAs have begun branching into the rewards business with the hope that additional incentives will keep travelers from straying to other booking sites. This is a tactic that hotels have employed for a long time. And now, OTAs are hoping that offering a rewards program will bolster consumer loyalty, the way it did for hotels.
Potential Negatives for OTAs
Despite the fact that OTAs are trying to build loyalty with travelers and increase the number of bookings taken on their third-party sites, there could be problems that pop up thanks to programs like Expedia Rewards and Orbitz Rewards.
Much of the advertising dollars spent by hotels go towards advertising on these OTA sites, but ultimately these properties would prefer to take bookings on their own website, as opposed to the third-party OTA site. If properties are only receiving reservations through the third party sites (and are paying commission fees ranging from 15 to 25%, then these properties will be more likely to find other advertising avenues that will direct more travelers to book directly on a property website.
Traditional Programs vs. OTA Loyalty Programs
The logic behind traditional loyalty programs is pretty basic – hotels attract repeat business by promising rewards like free stays, complimentary amenities and even frequent flier miles. The more often a traveler stays at a hotel or with a hotel brand, the more rewards he or she will earn. These loyalty programs generally benefit business travelers the most, as they stay more often on the company dime and apply rewards to vacation expenses.
OTAs, on the other hand, target consumers looking to rack up and redeem points more quickly than they would through a hotel program according to Expedia CMO and Senior Vice President of Global Marketing David Doctorow. OTA program members can earn rewards by booking stays at eligible hotels, regardless of the brand they choose, allowing for increased earning potential.

3 Trends to Help Understand Millennial Travelers
Millennials are constantly changing the way marketers look at the business landscape, and the travel industry is no exception to this rule. These current 20-34 year olds represent the next rising wave of consumers across the globe, but what does this mean for your business?
Millennials bring their own unique set of expectations, behaviors and preferences in what they want and how they want it, and this extends to their travel experiences.
As an example, millennial travelers are quick to seek out the wireless connection upon arrival to the hotel while other travelers might make decompressing from their travels a priority. Going hand-in-hand with this, while other travelers might collect stories to share one-on-one when they return home, younger travelers tell their stories online in real-time as they travel from one point to the next.
Skift and Amadeus, two leading travel industry news and research resources recently released three trends to help property owners and managers better understand this unique age group and their travel needs.
1. Explorers, Never Tourists
Millennials travelers want to explore their destinations and hate the idea of being considered tourists. These travelers crave adventure and see out unique authentic experiences while traveling. ResortsandLodges.com travelers are no different. Our travelers are not trying to book a room, they want to plan and book an experience.
Many millennials are craving adventure and seek out unique and authentic experiences while traveling. Instead of taking the elevator up to the top of the Eiffel Tower, a millennial traveler will likely take the stairs and share a self-designed photo collage of the path to the top on Instagram.
2. Customization is Key
Millennial travelers favor an a la carte menu of logistics, amenities, and activities when planning their trip to create a highly personalized experience. According to Skift, they value a distinctive experience that aligns with their individual identity and to display on social media. They seek a stimulating "touch and feel" environment that still takes them to a different world. This often includes unique excursions and international destinations that allow them to establish credibility on a subject or region. Being able to share a display this knowledge and skill set publicly is of high value.
In addition to taking a customized trip, millennial travelers expect travel brands to provide them with personalized content, from airfare, accommodations and beyond. For travel brand, along with price and value considerations, this personalized interaction is key to relationship building and increases the likelihood that the traveler will return on their next trip.
3. Technology Enables Communication and More
It's no surprise this generation of travelers is more tech-savvy. Having grown up with mobile devices and enhanced technology for the past decade or more, this group realizes the importance of communication through social media in an attempt to keep in touch with close friends and family.
Technology also provides an added sense of power as millennials access vast amounts of information any time they desire. They can be savvy consumers in an unfamiliar destination by comparing prices, reading reviews and getting tips from blogs during their trip.
Millennial travelers are most comfortable combining the "best of both worlds" as they are channel agnostic. They want the speed and convenience of an online purchase, and also value the comfort and security that constant connectivity brings, in the event they need assistance while traveling.
Priceline Continues to Add Key Pieces
In a time when acquisitions, mergers, and partnerships have become the norm, one company in particular seems to be positioning itself as a future leader in the travel space. That company is Priceline, and their recent acquisitions highlight an attempt to improve both ends (B2B and B2C) of the sales experience.
On June 10, Priceline announced the acquisition of buuteeq, Inc., a leading digital marketing platform for hotels worldwide. Buuteeq's cloud-based marketing software helps hoteliers manage their brand and drive bookings with responsively designed websites, robust user analytics, and intuitive content-management tools. Continue reading
Mobile Strategies to Engage Travelers
Today, communication with your guests when they are on the road (and spending the most) is not just commonplace, but essential. It is estimated that in 2014, 40% of leisure travelers and 36% of business travelers use mobile search engines to find hotels, and 58% of spending on travel is done once the travelers has left home.
By the end of 2016, there will be more online searches on mobile than on traditional desktops. People now treat mobile devices as extensions of themselves, communicating with friends, family, companies and brand whenever and however they choose. Continue reading
The Nine Commandments of the Digital World in Hotels
The travel industry is notorious for hiring within the industry when it comes to filling top jobs, often promoting from within or from a rival company.
So when Accor, one of the world's leading hotel operators, decided to hire Vivek Badrinath as its deputy CEO earlier this year, it raised a few eyebrows. Many industry experts were intrigued to know what the senior executive from the world of mobile phone networks would make of a sector as fragmented and complicated as hotels.
Badrinath was speaking last week at the PhoCusWright Europe event in Dublin, Ireland, showing how some of his digital expertise could be applied to a diverse (in terms of brands) and, essentially, human-led corner of the industry.
Badrinath discussed some interesting ideas about how the classic hotel chain should be positioned to cater for the digitally savvy – and mobile-wielding – traveler. He also gave event attendees his Nine Commandments of the Digital World for his new company.
Tnooz broke Accor's nine commandments down, and gave some insight as to how they apply to hoteliers and property managers around the world. Here is a small sampling: Continue reading
Marriott Announces #LoveTravels Campaign
Travel and hospitality industry experts are always looking for a developing demographic whose attention they feel it is important to attract. Marriott Hotels is hoping to accomplish this with their most recent social media campaign #LoveTravels.
The effort is a collaboration between Marriott Creative Agency and photographer Braden Summers featuring LGBT celebrities like Brooklyn Nets center Jason Collins and fashion model Geena Rocero.
This campaign is part of Marriott's new LGBT social media and marketing campaign and seeks to "share exclusive and powerful images celebrating inclusion." The images featured in the campaign will be displayed as building wraps at six hotels in Washington D.C., a series of print ads in LGBT media, an online portrait gallery and display ads in cities throughout the country.
"Braden's work so beautifully illustrates the inclusiveness and equality that we embrace," said Kristine Friend, a senior marketing director at Marriott. "We are committed to ensuring that all of our guests feel comfortable at all of our hotels and are proud to stay with Marriott."
"#LoveTravels is a universal theme we believe is shared by all cultures and communities and truly represents our company's philosophy and values. We also want to encourage our guests and travelers around the world to share their own journey and story through #LoveTravels @MarriottIntl," added Friend.
"We see #Love Travels as a universal, multicultural theme that appeals to communities throughout the world, resonating with consumers around the globe and especially with Millennials and next generation travelers who value inclusiveness," Karin Timpone, Marriott's global marketing officer said in a statement.
The campaign's release coincides with Pride events in Washington, San Francisco and New York City.

Defense Department
The National Defense Authorization Act could lead to an increase in the stature of the U.S. Cyber Command, currently subordinate to U.S. Strategic Command.
The Defense Department is taking more aggressive steps in cyberspace, including clearer authorities, more oversight and a key partnership to identify and address gaps, due to provisions in the National Defense Authorization Act for fiscal 2013.
Those provisions in the NDAA, which President Barack Obama signed into law on Jan. 2, require DOD officials to report on cyber operations to Congress on a quarterly basis, beginning March 1. It also outlines authorities and expectations for military forces in cyberspace.
Read the National Defense Authorization Act of 2013.
''The Secretary of Defense shall provide to the Committees on Armed Services of the House of Representatives and the Senate quarterly briefings on all offensive and significant defensive military operations in cyberspace carried out by the [DOD] during the immediately preceding quarter," the NDAA text reads. It also orders the defense secretary to provide within 90 days "a briefing on the interagency process for coordinating and de-conflicting full-spectrum military cyber operations for the federal government," as well as future cyber budgeting justification.
The NDAA text includes guidelines for faster reporting of network penetrations, as well as language that appears to open the door to elevating Cyber Command from a sub-unified command. Currently CYBERCOM is subordinate to U.S. Strategic Command, which is one of the military's nine unified combatant commands. However, the Act's language is cautious: In a section titled "Sense of Congress on the United States Cyber Command," the Act notes that "Congress expects to be briefed" on any proposed change to the command's status, including an outline of the expected benefits of the change and an estimate of the cost.
Among the provided cyber authorities are clandestine operations and green lights for activities to, among other things, develop cyber weapons systems. There are details for implementing the much-discussed Joint Information Environment, as well as a next-generation, host-based DOD network defense.
That open-architecture, "plug-and-play" network defense system would need to be available for cloud environments as well as the battlefield, and would need to overcome shortfalls in current systems that "cannot address new or rapidly morphing threats; consume substantial amounts of communication capacity to remain current with known threats and to report current status; or consume substantial amounts of resources to store rapidly growing threat libraries."
Additionally, the NDAA touches on better software security and more competition for acquiring large-scale data systems and tools.
To help DOD achieve the forward-looking cyber focus called for in the NDAA, science and technology also take on key roles, including research and development as well as workforce recruiting and training. The bill also directs the department to partner with the National Research Council for a full-scale review of specialized DOD programs science, technology, engineering, mathematics and management to meet evolving, high-tech and much-needed military skills.
The review will include an assessment of DOD's needs for STEM professionals, an analysis of resources to find them, the need and costs for existing and potential in-house STEM-focused educational institutions and recommendations for identifying, managing and sourcing to meet DOD needs.
"The conferees recognize that fostering and increasing the science, technology, engineering, mathematics, and technology management skills of the DOD workforce is an ongoing challenge," notes in the bill stated. "The conferees look forward to discussing these challenges with the department as the terms of reference for this effort are developed."

Probably best for women in mid-30's to mid-60s. Suspect younger crowd wants something more chic and contemporary.

Witt Lowry - Leave
Artist: Witt Lowry
Featuring: Trippz Michaud
Producer: Redhooknoodles
Album: None (Promo Single)
Avg Rating: 4.7 ( 12 votes )
At the top of the month, we heard Connecticut buzzmaker Witty pour his soul out to an ex on the reader-acclaimed Like I Do. A few weeks on, the pain of heartbreak hasn't exactly faded, but it seems to have been overshadowed by anxiety regarding his place in the hip-hop game. On new promo single Leave, Witty laces a string-fueled Redhooknoodle instrumental with rhymes detailing his professional doubts and frustrations. (I would write that his bars reminded me of early Slim Shady, but that comparison happens to be one of his pet peeves.) Trippz Michaud provides a sung hook as well as a breathless guest 16. This joint isn't part of a larger set, but fans, of course, can keep it locked for the latest on Witty's plans.

I am currently in the middle of an adoption. My fiance and I lost our first child due to a miscarriage and we're now being blessed with a child being born around the same due date as the one that we lost. I didn't realize how much we had to do to maintain sanity in hopes that the mother didn't back out. She promises that she never would and only thinks of our growing baby as "it". I guess that's her own way of coping with the adoption. She's not trying to become emotionally attached because according to her, it gets harder to cope day by day. In the state of Colorado, no lawyer is required if you're doing a voluntary adoption however, relinquishment counseling is mandatory for the birth mother and father (there is no father in this case). We're getting excited and scared all the same.........any pointers on things that we can do as the time goes by or any steps that we can take to speed up this process?
Comments (3)
I have never done an adoption and only came on here to look for help and answers myself, but I would say the best thing you guys can do as she progresses in this pregnancy is make sure she knows you and your husband are both there for emotional support.
If she doesn't have good family support and also has the mounting hormones from her pregnancy she's going to feel very overwhelmed and alone. The birth is also going to be hard for her, because as much as she is trying not to get attached, you have a very strong bond with a child that has grown inside you for 9 months. She needs to know she has someone in her corner that will help her and understand how hard this is going to be for her.
Are you able to go to the relinquishment counseling with her? If you are close with her and she wants you to I would go. It may help forge a deeper bond between the three of you before the baby comes so she knows she can trust you to be open, honest and that she knows for sure she is giving her baby to a couple that will love her child and give the baby the life she can't without feeling guilty.

While Mayor Emanuel is still settling into his new office, political website Mayoral Tutorial (mayoraltutorial.com) will be celebrating its new angle: keeping an eye on him. The site, which provides research and commentary on public policy in Chicago, was set up as a way to keep track of the issues during the 2010 mayoral campaign, but has been static since the election.
Creator Don Washington, a political director and policy researcher, says it's high time to update as Mayor Emanuel goes from just a Twitter handle to the real deal. "During the campaign people went to it in droves," he says. "Folks said you should really keep it up, as a way to keep track of the Emanuel administration and the city council."
The relaunch party at the Heartland Cafe on May 17 will include skits, songs, stand-up and speeches from artists, activists and musicians. While it might be a celebration, there will definitely be an educational component to the night.
Washington regularly sets up "agitational" town halls around the city as a way to shake up citizens and get them engaged in the political arena. He brings in speakers from unions, universities and the business world to discuss policy issues with ordinary people, often dispelling political rumors and misinformation.

The Jacksonian: Theater Review
The Bottom Line
A bold play with complex themes, masterfully staged and acted, shows genuine growth by long-established playwright Henley.
Audrey Skirball Kenis Theater at the Geffen Playhouse (runs through March 25)
Ed Harris, Glenne Headly, Amy Madigan, Bill Pullman, Bess Rous
Beth Henley
Robert Falls
Ed Harris, Amy Madigan, Glenne Headly and Bill Pullman star in this new play by Beth Henley, set in the titular hotel on the outskirts of Jackson, Miss.
Once again proving that the Audrey Skirball Kenis space is the jewel of the Geffen where exciting theater can happen, this premiere production demonstrates that Beth Henley, Pulitzer Prize winner for Crimes of the Heart, can take her comedic talent into new and valuable directions.
Set in the titular hotel on the outskirts of Jackson, Mississippi, from March to December 1964, the highly effective set divides between the bar and the room where dentist Dr. Bill Perch (Ed Harris) has been exiled during what he hopes to be a trial separation from his wife Susan (Amy Madigan). Daughter Rosy (Bess Rous) shuttles between them as a candidly designation "go between". Everyone hangs at the bar, where sinister bartender Fred (Bill Pullman) and desperate housemaid Eva (Glenne Headly) share their own guilty secrets.
Bill is personable and professional, ostensibly sincere but clearly troubled. For the most of the play we perceive Susan through his viewpoint, although the action is ostensibly narrated by Rosy. While avoiding any acknowledgement that this is a "memory play," it nevertheless adopts the trappings of one when it suits the exposition, which is pointedly scrambled to highlight its primary theme: whether character is destiny, or is fate a matter of the smallest chances at redemption fumbled? Against a subtly invoked background of racist violence, these personal challenges are intimately woven into the political context.
Henley takes her time building up the characters and situations, able to transcend the inevitable ghost of Tennessee Williams by her absolute security with her own voice. Everyone is drawn and played larger than life, boldly rather than merely broad, and when resorting to caricature for effect, she does not descend to Southern clichés of the period but rather exaggerations in tune with her own vision. Her ear is so true that the dialogue can remain tonally accurate while heightened into a stylization distinctly her own.
The action proceeds rather ruthlessly from apparent black comedy into even darker recesses of the disintegration of souls. This can flirt dangerously with a loss of credibility, which is where the savvy of Robert Falls' direction and the commitment of the players makes such a difference to the production's success. Drug-induced excesses are particularly difficult to make real on stage, live and in actual continuity of time and space, yet Harris manages to carry it off more convincingly than Johnny Depp on screen, who has had at it more often.
Headly etches a particularly memorable portrait of a familiar type fleshed out with originality and dimensionality, and Pullman conveys an enormous amount of texture and humanity while never ostensibly tipping his hand. Rous, festooned with cartoon acne, has daringly been cast as a teenager, a dissonance that injects some artifice into the company that helps orchestrate Henley's sleight-of-hand between realistic power and theatrical gestures.
Most effective of all is a brilliantly conceived final coda at the hotel ice machine, the last of many flashbacks within the storytelling, where Henley suggests that hope is possible, genuine, and also unlikely.

Has Target Made EMS a Target? 3 Ways to Ensure Your EMS Is Not an Open Door
The recent revelation that the data breach at Target originated with the theft of network credentials from one of their HVAC/R contractors has generated significant, and legitimate, attention to the issue of data security of Energy Management Systems (EMS).
If you are a developer or vendor of EMS systems you are undoubtedly hearing from customers and prospects alike, as are we. If you are an Energy Manager, you have probably already heard from IT and perhaps the C-suite.
The irony is that the breach apparently had nothing to do with the EMS. While earlier reports, such as this one from Information Week, pointed their fingers at the EMS system, the belief now is that the HVAC/R vendor was given access to the company's electronic billing and contract management system, as reported by the Wall Street Journal.
That has not taken the spotlight away from EMS security, and so it is a good time to look at the issue of whether these systems are secure – and discuss ways to make sure that they are as secure as possible.
In fact, there is no reason why an EMS should not be fully secure – which is not the same as saying all of them are. Here are 3 ways to ensure that EMS systems cannot be used to open the door to data breaches.
- First and foremost, there is absolutely no reason for an EMS system to be on the same corporate network as the POS system, or as other critical systems with customer – or corporate – data. The EMS needs to communicate only among the system's own components and the cloud, and therefore should be on a separate network, outside the firewall. This is what EMS vendors generally recommend (or insist on). Alternatively, the system could communicate entirely separately; for example, via a cellular network. These approaches may be more problematic with some older EMS, for which remote access was a recent addition, but there should be ways to make sure even those systems have no connection to secure networks carrying critical information.
- Second, separate from the network access question, many EMS vendors have voluntarily subjected their systems to PCI compliance testing, and companies looking to install or replace an EMS should insist on proof of such testing. (PCI compliance is orchestrated by the Payment Card Industry Security Standards Council, a global forum focused on implementation of security standards for account data protection). A properly designed EMS, from a security perspective, should have a minimal number of nodes that need to communicate outside the EMS, and be designed in a way that minimizes the chance of compromise. For example, communication between the EMS and the outside world should be initiated from the inside out – that is, from the EMS to the cloud, with no way to initiate communication from the cloud to the EMS. If you cannot get into the EMS, you cannot go beyond it. Moreover, EMS communications should use SSL or equivalent encryption, which protects whatever data transverses the EMS network.
- Finally, if for some reason a PCI-compliant EMS must connect to the corporate network, or EMS-related personnel must be given access to some network-based system, it is important to follow IT best practices. At a minimum, 2-factor authentication should be employed for all users. One instantiation of this gaining favor on secure sites such as banks is a call back to confirm that the user is the person issued the credentials, but there are other ways to achieve the goal, including challenge questions. 2-factor authentication significantly reduces risk in the event credentials are compromised.
Hopefully, the only fall-out from this sudden scrutiny will be to make EMS systems even more secure than they generally are.
And, hopefully, we can now get back to the business of reducing energy costs, enhancing operational efficiencies, and maintaining customer, guest, employee, and tenant comfort.
