Recently the government of Singapore passed a bill (or "Gazetted" as they call it, which sounds a lot fancier) about protecting personal data of consumers:
"Protection of personal data
26. An organisation shall protect personal data in its custody or under its control by making reasonable security arrangements to prevent unauthorised access, collection, use, disclosure, copying, modification or disposal or similar risks.
Cross-border Transfers
The PDPA also permits an organisation to transfer personal data outside Singapore provided that it ensures a comparable standard of protection for the personal data as provided under the PDPA (Section 26(1)). This can be achieved through contractual arrangements."
So what they are suggesting is that gone are the days that if a business loses its customers' data, they tell the consumers, "Oops, sorry, we lost your data…………" and that is about it. Now, the governments are taking initiatives that can hold the companies responsible for being careless with consumer data and not protecting it with their life, if not face consequences.
This means, as a corporation, you need to protect not only the data in storage and in transit, but also given the cross-border restrictions (this is especially strictly enforced in Europe; read about them on above URL links) you need to figure out a way to keep the data and the risk to yourself instead of passing this on to third parties. The easiest way to achieve that would be to tokenize the sensitive data, keep the sensitive data in your secure vault and send only the tokens to the other end. Even if the other end is compromised, your sensitive data and your integrity will be intact, and it will be easy to prove in case of an audit that you went above and beyond not only to comply with requests/ laws such as this, but also you genuinely care for your customers' sensitive personal data. Brand reputation is a lot more important than you think.
Check out some of my older blogs on this topic:
Who is more sensitive – you or your data?
Content/ Context / Device aware Cloud Data Protection
Part 2: Context aware Data Privacy
Also, keep in mind Intel Token Broker and Cloud Security Gateway solutions can help you solve this fairly easily without messing with your existing systems too much.

Even though it's now Microservices Journal, long-time fans of SOA World Magazine can take comfort in the fact that the URL – soa.sys-con.com – remains unchanged. And that's no mistake, as microservices are really nothing more than a new and improved take on the Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) best practices we struggled to hammer out over the last decade. Skeptics, however, might say that this change is nothing more than an exercise in buzzword-hopping. SOA is passé, and now that people are ...

The term culture has had a polarizing effect among DevOps supporters. Some propose that culture change is critical for success with DevOps, but are remiss to define culture. Some talk about a DevOps culture but then reference activities that could lead to culture change and there are those that talk about culture change as a set of behaviors that need to be adopted by those in IT. There is no question that businesses successful in adopting a DevOps mindset have seen departmental culture change, ...

Hinase Part 2
... already are, when they're free classic books! In my free time I had the chance to visit Okayama, a very ordinary city with one fantastic exception it's the only city I have been to where you can play table tennis in front of a castle... The temporary art exhibition gave us a once in a lifetime experience, being filmed by Japanese people as we played round the world in front of okayama castle. The day before I was supposed to leave was in all honestly "the best day ever" we worked ...
Hinase - Working on the house
... and green tea. I met the other WWOOFers: Amo from the US, Dori from Hungary and two girls from Taiwan. The boss man Makoto and his wife Tomoko are great hosts and look after everyone really well. We are all here to help him not only build a guesthouse but also his own house which is literally falling apart. Tomoko nearly got hit with slab of rock that fell from the kitchen ceiling. The lifestyle is pretty chilled here, I would wake up to the best view in ...
... crow castle' for its unusual black facade was very aesthetically pleasing. The same can be said for the gardens which has big wide open spaces and all the features of a traditional Japanese garden. After visiting Okayama, I headed on to Hiroshima on the slowest bullet train ever( nearly 2 hours for a 40 minute journey because of 20 minute stops at every station on the way!) Tomorrow I will explore Hiroshima and in particular the peace memorial ...
Back To Honshu
... circle started in Hiroshima, and be back in this city.
I will probably go back to the same hostel, as I liked it very much. Over there, I may have to find a bike shop, after all this kilometres, the chain cries to be replaced.
I can take it now a bit easy, have still more then two weeks to catch the ferry in Kagoshima, but I better plan this remaining time, or else I will suddenly ...
Trains and Gardens
... the pasta main but some of them were a bit too Japanese to be Italian - soy sauce and/or salmon roe in the mix somewhere. Overall, it was a very nice meal.
We went back to the hotel at about 7.30pm for more laundry and downloaded more photos from today, as well as to write this blog.
We leave for Kyoto tomorrow morning at 8.45am. Bags in the foyer at 8.20am so that the taxis can take them to the station for us. No point wrecking the wheels on my bag.

People: Makeba hits the wrong note
Friday 28 January 1994
'It's a great pity coming from someone who purports to support democracy,' said Yawovi Agboyigbo, of the Front of Associations for Renewal. Edem Kodjo, a former secretary-general of the Organisation of African Unity, said the remark was too ridiculous for comment. 'I'm trying to ignore her whole mission (for the African National Congress),' he said.
It is not the first time Makeba has offended pro-democracy leaders. When Ivory Coast held its first contested presidential election in 1990, she went to Abidjan to support General Eyadema's friend, President Felix Houphouet-Boigny. She remonstrated with the opposition Ivorian Popular Front for using one of her songs in its campaign.
IF YOU are a tycoon and the boss of a sports team, stay out of politics. That is the advice Bernard Tapie imparted after hearing that Silvio Berlusconi was entering Italy's political fray. Mr Tapie, former French urban affairs minister and head of Olympique Marseille, the European football champions, told the newspaper Quotidien de Paris that Mr Berlusconi had 'everything to lose' by his move.
The media magnate and president of AC Milan, the Italian champions, 'has not yet measured how much a political commitment costs when you are in business . . . He has entered (a field) in which he will triumph or die.' Mr Tapie, who has had a rough ride in both politics and business, said that, like himself, Mr Berlusconi had nothing left to gain in glory, money or power.
FOR the Indian film star Dimple Kapadia, it was a case of choice, not duty. The 38-year- old actress changed her mind about playing an elderly mother in the Hindi film Kartavya, or Duty, and as a result she is being boycotted by thousands of producers.
'We have circulated a ban order to our 4,000 member-producers,' K D Shourie, secretary of the Film Makers' Combine, told the Hindustan Times. FMC members produce nearly 300 films a year in Bombay, more than a third of the total film production from India, the world's most prolific cinema nation.
The newspaper said the FMC declared the ban after the film's producer, Rahul Gupta, lost about pounds 500,000 from 12 days of shooting with Ms Kapadia in the mother's role. The FMC said she should pay compensation and gave her a week to pay and to resume the role. She failed to respond.
THE veteran Nazi-hunter Simon Wiesenthal has added his voice to the chorus of praise for Steven Spielberg's film Schindler's List. 'It gave me goosebumps over my whole body,' he said. 'Of course I have seen many Holocaust films, but none of them can compare with this. The others always lacked something, to those of us who had experienced it.'
Of Schindler, whom he met twice after the Second World War, Mr Wiesenthal told the Viennese magazine Kurier Freizeit: 'He was a playboy and a ladies' man who shortened his life by drinking too much, a real go-getter. Naturally that impressed the SS. In times when you could not get anything he even managed to lay hands on French cognac.'

Nick News looks at public discourse
The Emmy-award winning Nick News will take a look at the good and bad sides of public discourse with a special airing November 5 at 8:30 pm on Nickelodeon titled Nick News with Linda Ellerbee: Cheap Shots and Low Blows: How Debate Turns To Hate. The special, which will also feature Chris Matthews, Al Franken and Ann Coulter will include children from around the country talking about what they feel is appropriate in public debate and what isn't, what's fair game in political debates and what is nothing more than a personal attack. While grown ups can easily sift through a lot of the nonsense that makes up public debate, we tend to forget the effect it can have on children without some kind of frame of reference. Given the extremes of Franken and Coulter alone, this could be an interesting special.
In the past the kid-centric news program has covered issues such as intelligent design, Hurricane Katrina, and health issues.

Byblos Bank headquarters is seen in Beirut. (The Daily Star/Mahmoud Kheir)
BEIRUT: Lebanon's Byblos Bank reported a 6 percent drop in net profit last year to $157.1 million, reflecting the economic stagnation in a country marred by political paralysis and feeling the effects of Syria's war.
It said total assets stood at $18.5 billion, customer deposits increased by 10.2 percent to $14.7 billion and net customer loans rose by 9.5 percent to $4.5 billion.
The bank said in a statement Wednesday that it had allocated $57.3 million in provisions for credit losses, which also accounted for some of the drop in net profit.
"Despite uncertainty on the political level and an ongoing stagnation of the economy, Byblos Bank witnessed growth in key financial areas," the statement said.
Violence in neighboring Syria has spilled over into Lebanon and contributed to a sharp slowdown in economic growth over the last two years.
The small Mediterranean country has also been without a fully functioning government since March 2013 when Prime Minister Najib Mikati resigned, and months of political bickering have hampered economic growth.

'Iron Man 3: Iron Patriot' 1/6th Scale Diecast Figure by Hot Toys
By Julian Loh, March 25, 2013
We were previously quite content with Hot Toys' photo-realistic portrayals of Tony Stark's numerous suits from the Iron Man movie franchise. However, with the Introduction of the Iron Patriot figure as the first release in the Hot Toys MMS Diecast Series, we had to ask ourselves – shouldn't all Iron Man toys be made from metal too??
A tricky question indeed, as toy mongerors know that as good as Diecast metal feels in the hand, it makes an already expensive toy even pricier. Apart from that, the suit lights up at the eyes and palms, while the face under the helmet is based on Don Cheadle's character in the upcoming blockbuster.

Why you'll probably fail your New Year's resolution
48 Comments- Get free updates of new posts here
The most common New Year's resolutions deal with health & fitness, money, career, relationships, and travel.
Sorry to be blunt, but if you're not making steady progress at your top resolution right now — September 6th — you haven't set up systems to maintain ongoing accountability, and chances are you'll fail again in January.
On the other hand, if you're systematically working towards a specific goal you set, the world is your oyster. What's the next challenge I can set for myself? How can I top myself last time? Bring it on. These are the phrases of top performers I know.
The time to think about resolutions is not January 1st. It's in the middle of the year, when nobody else is thinking about them.

NEW YORK, Feb. 18, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Pembrook Capital Management, LLC (Pembrook), a commercial real estate investment manager that provides financing throughout the capital structure including first mortgages, mezzanine, bridge loans, note financings, and preferred equity for most property types, announced the closing of an $18.577 million bridge loan to facilitate the acquisition of Mountain Vista, a 98% occupied, 257-unit multifamily property located in Lakewood, Colorado, a submarket of Denver.
The funding from Pembrook will allow the buyer to acquire the property and complete interior renovations to the apartment units. In addition, the buyer will also be able to finalize exterior renovations that include clubhouse/office construction, roof replacements, repairs to stair landings and catwalks, asphalt repairs, clubhouse equipment/furniture, and exterior paint.
Mountain Vista, located at 434-485 S. Wright Street, consists of two multifamily communities that include Alpine Mountain Vista, a 137-unit garden property that features four two-story buildings and Green Mountain Vista, a 120-unit garden property comprised of three two-story buildings.
The property offers an excellent location for residents with proximity to major employment centers throughout the region including the Denver Federal Center, the largest concentration of federal offices outside of Washington D.C., and the new Saint Anthony Central Hospital. Additionally the property has easy access to Federal Center Light Rail Station, the Belmar Redevelopment (retail center and master planned community), downtown Denver, and the Southeast Business Corridor.
The property also has excellent access to nearby recreational amenities and hiking trails, including Green Mountain Open Space, Matthews Winters Park, Dakota Ridge Trail and the world-renowned Red Rocks Amphitheatre.
"Pembrook continues to focus on providing financing for experienced sponsors looking to acquire assets in markets poised for expansion," said Stuart J. Boesky, CEO of Pembrook. "Mountain Vista fit the bill, as this property is situated in an excellent location with anticipated growth as the local Denver job market continues to improve. We are pleased to be the lender of record on this transaction."
Pembrook works with real estate developers and investors to deliver financing for new construction, acquisition, and repositioning, focusing on primary and secondary markets with high barriers to entry. Since inception, Pembrook has originated or participated in over 60 investments totaling in excess of $650 million.

MLB Rumors: Could Chicago Cubs Get Mark Reynolds?
Wednesday saw the Chicago Cubs' crosstown rival in the Chicago White Sox pick up a third-baseman in Jeff Keppinger. The time has come for the Cubs to make a move of their own at the hot corner with Mark Reynolds being a good place to start for the North Siders. It could help bring some more offense to a team that is going to be struggling to score again in 2013.
Reynolds is one of those strikeout-or-home-run guys like new Cubs assistant Rob Deer. Reynolds won't give you much of an average, but he is bound to hit 35-40 home runs especially playing his games at Wrigley Field. It would be worth looking into even on a one-year deal just to bridge the gap until Josh Vitters gets his act together at the Triple-A level and can play on an everyday basis.
There is no harm in trying to see if this could work. The team isn't getting any better anytime soon, or so it would appear, so why not give the fans something to be excited about every day? It would be just like the 1970s all over again when Dave Kingman would come to the plate. Kingman may have struck out a lot, but when he made contact it went a really long way. The Cubs fans that will fill Wrigley Field next summer deserve at least that. It's going to be another long season and it is likely the Cubs will finish in last place in the new five-team National League Central, so get Reynolds and play long ball.

I saw this at the Woodstock Film Festival yesterday and it had
everything I look for in a film. It wasn't overdone or edgy for
edginess sake. Absent was the inauthentic formulaic filler that spoils
most Hollywood films for me.
Great cast, character development, wit, humor and humanity. For me it was similar to the first time I read Miller's "Death of a Salesman." It had the depth of a play.
A tremendously funny and moving film, it was a highlight (for me) at the festival. Audiences that have had enough of car chases, inane plots will probably totally dig the film. The crowd I was with at the film was overwhelmingly moved.
I am a film student at Columbia College in Chicago, recently I had the
chance to view a screening of King of the Corner. My God was it
Hilarious and greatly acted. King of The Corner has to be the best
movie I have seen in a long time. This is the type of movie the reeks
true American Filmic Artform, and kicks the basic Hollywood nonsense
right in the prunes.
It is the story of a middle aged Jewish man named Leo that is facing a mid life crisis in work, his marriage and his relationship with his father. In every circumstance, the result was a very smart, funny and intelligent climax. I don't want to talk too much about the story for fear of giving too much away and I am also not a great "critical writer" so I don't want to turn anybody off to the film. But I will say that the cast and the performances were unbelievable. Eric Bogosian plays a Rabbi in probably the funniest role i have ever seen him. Dominc "Uncle Junior" Chianese from the Sopranos is perfect in his role of a funereal director, Jake Hoffman is perfect as a weasely occupational subordinate, Rita Moreno and Beverly D'angelo are both perfect in smaller roles that fit in perfectly. But one of the best comedic performances I have seen in a long time, was Pete Riegart the director who was excellent in the title role.
I really cannot believe that he pulled it off as a writer/ actor/ director! But he did this with flying colors and I am pretty sure this film will be the first in a series of really good films with solidly built characters and plot. You will laugh and laugh hard.
How often do you get to see an excellent film and then participate in a
question and answer session with the director afterwards? King of the
Corner offers this rare opportunity as director and star Peter Riegert
is travelling around the US with this movie. His tour schedule is at
the film's website www.kingofthecornerfilm.com.
The movie itself is a wonderful ensemble film centering on the life of Leo Spivak (Riegert), a middle aged Jewish man with a lot of problems. His job at a market research firm doing focus groups is mundane, his father (wonderfully played by 90 year old Eli Wallach) is angry, his teenage daughter is out of control and his marriage (to the wonderful Isabella Rossellini) is in a rocky period. The movie focuses on all aspects of Spivak's life without solving his issues.
The acting is great, the movie is entertaining, and Riegert does a marvelous job in his role as co-writer, director and star. There are funny and sad parts and it will make you think. I recommend it highly.
We saw this wonder little film on June 11th in San Francisco. Peter Reigert was on a radio talk show KGO with Ronn Owens and spoke about his career and his new film. We went to s screening of it on the weekend and it was delightful. He is trying to market the film and he appeared after all the showings to answer questions. We went to the noon showing and when the credits rolled he appeared in the audience and the Q & A began. The film was wonderful. A little movie with humor and a lot of heart. Peter Reigert fulfilled our request to have our VHS copy of one of his older films "Crossing Delancey" signed by him, which he did. We wish him the best on getting this film seen by serious movie goers. Good Luck Peter! It was great meeting you. You movie "King of The Corner" is special! Sincerely, Joyce & Brian (San Francisco Bay Area).
Ell Wallach's performance as the lively, irascible and crotchety "King
of the Corner" is the best I have seen this year. It is a shame this
movie has not received distribution as it will probably doom his
chances during award season. This work is a crown on his golden career
that entitles him to be there.
I presume the distribution was not achieved because it was perceived to be "too Jewish." As a WV hillbilly and Friend (Quaker) this is a human movie about the human condition not just the Jewish condition.
I do not need car crashes, aliens, or super heroes. If Hollywood is wondering why people are staying home, it is because movies like this one can not find a distributor.
Many thanks to Peter Riegert (writer, director and actor) for supporting his jewel of a film. Maybe someone will allow him to make a whole movie about Sol Spivak. THAT IS A MOVIE I REALLY WANT TO SEE!
This is a dark comedy reminiscent of "American Beauty," plenty flawed but worth taking the trouble to see. Peter Riegert's character, Leo, makes a living moderating focus groups, frustrated with his dull job, dull marriage and rebellious daughter. Every two weeks, he flies to see his father, who lives in a nursing home in Arizona. Sometimes the jokes are a little forced, Leo's behavior a little too wacky for the stereotypical downtrodden suburban dad we've been led to believe he is. But it's dryly, wonderfully funny in unexpected places, which keeps it from sagging when it might have otherwise. "King of the Corner" is a movie about monotony and guilt, and, ultimately, every man's struggle for his father's acceptance. I look forward to Mr. Riegert's sophomore effort.
I screened this film at its Kansas City opening and found it an
enjoyable and revealing tale of family life and a slice of modern
Americana with more that one surprise and twist along the way. It is a
film of depth and subtle textures that engages the audience by layers
as it explores the personalities and relationships that propel the
central characters through their lives. Peter Reigert and Isabella
Rossellini turn in sensitive performances with a wonderful counterpoint
provided by Eli Wallach in the role of the family patriarch.
Reigert's direction is cogent and trim, based on a literate, thoughtful script by Gerald Shapiro.
It's been 3 days since I've seen this wonderful movie and still
thinking about it and all the wonderful stories it contains. It should
have been included with all the movies up for awards this year. There
is something in this movie for everyone to relate to in their life.
I just left a woman of 101 who used the line "Why is it so hard to die"? How many people have felt the same?
How many have been caught in a routine position where there is always the fear of losing their job and not really feeling happy or appreciated for their work?
How many of us have worried about our teenage children?
All of these relevant subjects have been developed in this marvelous film with deep thought and much humor.
the film is excellent. based on a great book of short stories "bad jews and other stories" which i read and enjoyed in 2003. the film combines elements from two of those short stories into a compelling drama which is both really really funny, and poignant. if you have a father, or a daughter, or a wife, or a job, it will resonate with you. if you have none of the above, it will still resonate with you. great characters and performances by a top notch cast. and a hilarious Gregory Peck bit. bogosian is maybe the best rabbi on film since the frisco kid. the only reason i don't give it a 10 is because that rating is reserved for Xanadu and Xanadu alone.
*** This review may contain spoilers ***
This movie is so subtly well crafted that many of the themes aren't
apparent until hours or even days after viewing it. The meaning of the
title "King of the Corner" isn't apparent until well into the movie
when Leo, at his father's funeral, tells the story of playing with him
in the neighborhood pool as a young boy and his Dad tirelessly
defending his corner of the pool against all comers. What becomes clear
is that as a metaphor for the issues being faced by each generation of
the Spivak family. Elaina is a teenager struggling for some freedom
with her parents, skillfully playing them off of each other. Leo is
struggling for some meaning in his life. In spite of having
Middle-America's "dream life" - a lovely suburban home, a beautiful
daughter (Ashly Johnson) and a gorgeous wife (Isabella Rossellini),
he's unfulfilled and acts out in self-destructive ways. It's not until
he finds a way to be "king" of his own corner of the world that he
manages to take charge of his life, albeit accidentally.
Even though the family portrayed is Jewish, it's not an ethnic film. The trials of this family are universal and the appeal of the film is that the characters are warm and real.
If go to movies expecting action and sex, this film's probably not for you (though there is a bit of both alluded to here). If you enjoy skillfully crafted character studies, you'll probably like this movie. Four days after seeing it, I'm still savoring the characters.

first Giant Swallowtail cat spotted this morning
On my quick walk a round recently, I noticed what I thought was a Giant Swallowtail egg on the Rue. Sure enough, this morning there is a tiny little cat munching away. I'm hoping mama GST left more eggs and I just haven't spotted them. I should bring the little guy in as they are quite easy to care for. Because of my husband's illness, I'd not planned on raising any cats indoors this season but as always, I see the tiny litte things and the desire to try and protect them kicks in!
Also noticed pipevine eggs on the pipevines. Sherry, not one seed pod developed on the pipevines but at least I got to see the blooms! :-)
Hope everyone is having early success this spring. I've yet to see a Monarch but my days are mostly spent at the hospital so if any have stopped by, I've missed them. The common milkweed that is now three years old (and growing in a big pot) has finally grown the size of leaves I'd expect to see on this plant. I guess it takes the plants a few seasons to mature. Another big pot I started last year contains only very small common milkweed plants while the other pot with the older plants have huge plants and leaves already. I do believe one of those big leaves could feed several baby cats all day.
Congrats, Mary! Considering how easy giant swallowtails are to raise, I'm sure you'll have time to raise a few. A giant swallowtail passed through here, but left me no eggs - maybe it was a male. You sure need something like a few caterpillars to keep your spirits up these days! And I hope things are looking up for your hubby!
I'm not surprised your pipevines didn't make any seed pods, since that's apparently a once-in-a-life-time thing. But A. tomentosa really colonizes, not the first few years, but after it gets a little age on it, it really spreads. Mine have colonized all down the length of long fences around my garden, and some is growing into a gardenia bush in the corner. The pipevine swallowtails have found it all and laid eggs everywhere, including on the A. fimbriata plants I got from seeds you sent me, Mary - thanks!
Two of the monarchs in the cage are chrysalides, and all the rest but one are in the "J" - the ones outside must have pupated or are now doing so, because they were farther along than the caged ones. The two chrysalides look healthy, no sign of having been parasitized or having any disease - knock on wood!
I'm raising two spicebush swallowtails and will soon bring two more in to raise. I'm also raising two palamedes and one tiger swallowtail, plus two red-spotted purples - there are LOTS more of these on the host plants outside. I seem to have gotten over compulsively bringing in as many as I find to raise myself - I just can't handle a lot of cats at one time any more.
The red admirals and American ladies in my cages are emerging daily, about ?three of each so far, with plenty more to go. I also raised four little sleepy oranges, which are now chrysalides, soon to emerge.
The 25 or 26 pipevine swallowtail chrysalides in the cage should emerge in a couple of weeks, and there are undoubtedly a lot more outside on about the same time schedule. With the almost daily addition of new eggs to the vines outside, there will now be overlapping generations of pipevine swallowtails, good news.
We've had 2.20" of rain over the past two days, with more expected this weekend. I love not having to water!!

Provo, UT (SportsNetwork.com) - Melvin Ejim and DeAndre Kane both contributed 21 points as the No. 21 Iowa State Cyclones edge the BYU Cougars, 90-88, at Mariott Center.
Down 89-87, Anson Winder went to the foul line for BYU with 24.7 remaining. He missed the first shot, but made the second. After blocking Tyler Haws' shot, Daniel Edozie went to the line with 3.2 seconds left. After missing the first shot, he banked in the second attempt to give the Cyclones a two-point lead. BYU went down the court and Kyle Collinsworth missed a jumper to end the game.
"Daniel (Edozie) makes a heck of a defensive play and banks a free throw, which was pretty important," Iowa State head coach Fred Hoiberg said. "Just a really gutty effort by our guys and not many teams walk out of here with a victory and that's a great one for our program."
Kane also pulled down 11 rebounds for a double-double. Geoges Niang added 19 points, eight assists and five rebounds as Iowa State (4-0) stayed perfect.
Haws scored 20 points, making 7-of-8 free throws, while Matt Carlino had 19 points, four steals, seven assists and four rebounds. In six all-time meetings between the two teams, BYU (4-1) has never won.
"I thought it was a hard fought battle and both teams really gave a great effort," BYU head coach Dave Rose said. "We had quite a few chances there at the end to make a few plays and win the game, but it just seemed like they were a little bit better in their execution late in the game."
Kane tied the game at 75 at the 6:40 mark of the second. After a tip-in from Nate Austin, a 3-pointer from Matt Thomas sparked a 7-0 run that gave Iowa State 82-77 lead with 4:29 to go.
Kane received a flagrant foul after hitting Eric Mika in the face and was ejected with 3:28 in the second. Haws made both free throws before BYU got the ball back. Haws got the ball on the inbounds pass and was fouled. He made both shots again to pull BYU within one, 82-81.
Niang drained two jumpers to give Iowa State a 86-81 lead with a little over two minutes remaining.
Carlino drained three straight jumpers on a 10-2 run that put BYU ahead, 25-18, at the midway mark of the first half.
Ejim answered back with two consecutive 3-pointers to highlight a 10-0 Iowa State run late in the first half to pull within one. Haws and Carlino made jumpers to allow BYU to take a 47-42 lead into the half.
Iowa State shot 51.4 percent from the field ... BYU's Austin had a game-high
13 rebounds ... Mika provided eight of BYU's first 11 points of the game.
Vanderbilt quarterback Patton Robinette said Friday he is walking away from football to enter medical school.
Regan Smith substituted for Kyle Larson in the No. 42 Chip Ganassi Racing Chevrolet in Sunday's Sprint Cup Series race at Martinsville Speedway after Larson was sidelined due to additional medical tests following his fainting spell on Saturday.
If contradiction was an Olympic sport, Chip Kelly would certainly be medal-worthy judging by his performance at the NFL's owners meeting but the Eagles coach might have to settle for silver because Daniel Snyder's critics will take the gold every time.
There isn't much after that. The Miami Marlins are loaded up for a playoff push -- likely through a wild card spot -- and the New York Mets are up-and- coming but still raw. The Atlanta Braves and Philadelphia Phillies, former powerhouses of the division, are going through rebuilds and won't contend anytime soon.
The Los Angeles Clippers have signed guard Lester Hudson to a 10-day contract.
Mathieu Perreault will be back in the lineup when the Winnipeg Jets host the Chicago Blackhawks on Sunday.
