SAN FRANCISCO, CA -- (Marketwired) -- 07/16/14 -- ForgeRock Inc., the leading open platform provider of Identity Relationship Management (IRM) solutions, today announced that Eve Maler has joined the company as vice president of innovation and emerging technology. She will report directly to Founder and Chief Technology Officer Lasse Andresen. Maler will draw upon her 30 years of experience at companies including Sun Microsystems, PayPal and most recently Forrester Research, where she was principal analyst. In her new role, Eve will help ForgeRock push the boundaries of IRM and drive customer innovation.
Maler is a renowned strategist in the areas of digital identity, access, security and privacy, with a particular focus on creating successful wide-scale ecosystems. In her illustrious career, Maler has a long history of building standard interoperability solutions that respond to the real needs of individuals and businesses. While at PayPal, Eve architected consumer identity service solutions. As a technology director at Sun Microsystems, Eve co-founded and edited the Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML) standard, now the most popular and broadly adopted open protocol for web user single sign-on. Maler also founded and chairs the User-Managed Access (UMA) working group. UMA is an emerging standard based on the OAuth protocol for API security. Lastly, Eve is recognized as a co-inventor of the Extensible Markup Language (XML) data interchange languages used worldwide.
"Eve brings deep expertise on the evolution and future of identity and access management that will help ForgeRock stay at the forefront of new customer-centric solutions," said Mike Ellis, CEO of ForgeRock. "She is recognized in the industry as a visionary and innovator based on the breadth and depth of her experience and her perspective as vendor, end-user and analyst. I look forward to her contributions to the advancement of Identity Relationship Management."
"IRM is at a pivotal inflection point and ForgeRock is leading the transformation to new external, customer focused solutions," said Maler. "We can see from every breach-of-the-week that consumer security and privacy are in a fragile state. At the same time, API-connected services and network-connected devices are demanding new sophistication in access control. The time is absolutely right to devote all my effort to the innovation side of the equation."

Wearable technology was dominant at this year's International Consumer Electronics Show (CES) , and MWC was no exception to this trend. New versions of favorites, such as the Samsung Gear (three new products were released: the Gear 2, the Gear 2 Neo and the Gear Fit), shared the limelight with new wearables like Pebble Time Steel (the new premium version of the company's previously released smartwatch) and the LG Watch Urbane. The most dramatic difference at MWC was an emphasis on presenting wearables as fashion accessories and moving away from the original clunky technology associated with t...

Rackspace announced new features to its DevOps Automation Service including Windows Support and expanded environment stack support.
Rackspace also launched a new DevOps Advisory Service for broader DevOps transformation engagements. Available in the U.S. and UK, enhancements to the Rackspace DevOps Automation Service offering provide customers with additional services and Fanatical Support® through the new managed operations service level.
These enhancements will help customers design, manage and scale their cloud operations and enable a continuous application delivery model.
Rackspace DevOps GM: "Very Organic For Our Customers" [story]
"It's our mission to help our customers realize the immense benefits of adopting DevOps principles in this fast growing and dynamic cloud era," said Prashanth Chandrasekar, GM of Rackspace's DevOps Business Segment. "Since the initial launch of the Rackspace DevOps Automation Service last year, we have been helping customers automate their application environments by treating their infrastructure like code and providing deep performance monitoring capabilities. This has enabled them to deploy features faster, quickly scale out their technology infrastructure and improve developer productivity. We are now offering a range of additional technology stacks as part of our DevOps offering to help customers build applications even faster using leading technologies. In addition, we are launching a new DevOps Advisory Service to help companies accelerate their internal transformation to adopt DevOps principles and methodologies."
Rackspace DevOps Automation Service is also expanding its scope to support Windows and new environment stack features, including:
- Windows Support: Rackspace DevOps Automation Service now supports Windows, featuring Microsoft DSC, an extension of PowerShell. With Windows support, the service utilizes Rackspace modules to deploy infrastructure quickly and consistently, using Desired State Configuration (DSC) and source-controlled code. Customers will also be able to take advantage of orchestration and monitoring that will help deploy and maintain more reliable application environments.
- Expanding Environment Stacks: Rackspace now supports the following environment stacks, which can be deployed in hours on the Rackspace Hybrid Cloud: Chef, Rails, Node.js, PHP, Tomcat and Python. Customers can use recommended stack architectures and will receive updates, security patches and the latest versions of environment stacks, which are constantly maintained and tested by Rackspace DevOps engineers.
"At WePay, we have doubled our transaction volume from December to March of this year which puts a huge load on our servers," said Bill Clerico, CEO at WePay. "Rackspace specialists help set up Chef scripts, configure our servers, configure monitoring and more. In fact, with Rackspace DevOps Automation Service, we were able to spin up basically an entire new data center at Rackspace in the time that it would have taken us to add just couple of servers in our internal set up."
In addition to its enhanced DevOps Automation Service, Rackspace is also launching its new DevOps Advisory Service. Rackspace DevOps specialists work with customers from stakeholder through front-line levels to help map and plan that organization's shift to DevOps practices. Rackspace's transformation methodology leverages DevOps foundations to assess each customer's current capability and manage gaps. The service then uses a variety of methods to help drive progress, including:
- DevOps Workshops: Rackspace is working with customers to perform a range of services including application assessment, transformation planning and knowledge transfer, plus enablement around key areas like Configuration Management Tools, Provisioning and Deployments, Continuous Integration, Continuous Delivery (CI/CD) and Monitoring.
- DevOps Strategy Planning: Rackspace DevOps specialists work with customers to understand their requirements and help create a custom project plan for their business needs and timeline.
- DevOps Professional Services: Rackspace provides access to DevOps professional services, from writing infrastructure code to designing structure and building migration plans for applications. This helps customers automate, deploy and test their infrastructure for their main applications, or a set of proof of concepts that the customer helps build.
"We've seen a sharp rise in interest in DevOps across the board," said Michael Coté, research director at The 451. "In one of our recent DevOps studies, just over 50 percent of companies were eager to speed up the release cycle for their software. We feel that they're looking to use that higher velocity as a competitive advantage. At this point in the market, getting started in DevOps and thriving with it can take time and skilled staff, so new offers such as the Rackspace DevOps Advisory Service, which help speed up the process and augment in-house talent, will be welcome."

However, there are larger challenges when implementing software defined on a larger scale - when building software defined infrastructure. In his session at 16th Cloud Expo, Boyan Ivanov, CEO of StorPool, will provide some practical insights on what, how and why when implementing "software-defined" in the datacenter.

"A must visit for Paragliding"
- Posted 3 weeks ago
We visited Bir Billing. A small town in the heart of Kangra District, near Palampur, Dharamshala and Macloedganj. Ultimate place for the best Para-Gliding experience from 7500 feet from sea level. In Oct 2015, first time ever in India, a paragliding world cup will be organized in this place. If we talk about food, trout fish is what you may like the most and other Tibetian delicacies. Fresh and amazing to taste. Weather is fantastic round the year in billing. 6 - 8 km ahead of Billing, you can trek on snow covered mountains and visit Hanuman Mandir.More » « Less

Food, sight-seeing and shopping: Tibetian, Indian food is available on most of the road side eateries at reasonable cost. It is better to have at least two days stay at Kangra and visit all places from there in a taxi. We have hired a tempo Traveler from Jallandhar Rly station and back up to jallandhar for 3 days. Delhi to Jallandhar was in Shatabdi Express trains to and fro from Delhi.
Activities & things to do: You can do trekking, relaxing or religious thing as per choice.
Travel tips, How to reach, travel warnings etc: Trains up to Jallandhar Cantt or Pathankot can be taken. Local travel up to kangra can be done in taxi or public transport as per time and money.

Tavares named NHL's first star of the week
Feb 18, 2013, 12:46 PM EDT
Islanders forward John Tavares has been named the NHL's first star of the week after scoring five goals in three games, with two assists to boot.
Tavares, 22, had a hat trick Saturday against the Devils and currently sits sixth in league scoring, with 20 points in 14 games.
"He comes to the rink every day and gets better," Isles coach Jack Capuano said recently, per the New York Hockey Journal.
"He's prepared, he's focused, he's committed, he's willing to do all little things and the intangibles to be one of the best players in the league and in the world. And that's where he's at right now."
Meanwhile, two rather unlikely players earned second- and third-star honors, with Ducks goalie Viktor Fasth and Hurricanes forward Jiri Tlusty getting the nod from the league.
Fasth went 3-0-0 with a 1.89 goals-against average and .935 save percentage last week; the 30-year-old relative unknown is a remarkable 8-0-0 this season.
Tlusty, 24, had four goals and two assists last week in three straight Carolina victories. The 13th overall pick in the 2006 draft was especially good Monday against the Islanders when he notched two goals and had a pair of helpers.

Communicating With Stroke Survivors: What Matters Most?
By Ann Catlin, LMT, NCTMB, OTR
It is likely that at some point, someone you know - a grandparent, parent, sibling, friend, neighbor or client - will suffer a stroke. It is one leading cause of long-term disability in the United States.I've met literally hundreds of stroke survivors while working as an occupational therapist in rehabilitation programs, and my grandfather suffered a stroke when I was a child. Even though I've had all this experience, the one thing that stands out as challenging, yet critically important, is communication. The topic of stroke, or cerebral vascular accident, is very complex, and people who suffer a stroke commonly experience physical, behavioral and communication effects.
The focus of this article is communication, so it's important to have a basic understanding of what happens during a stroke that leads to serious communication impairment. The term stroke refers to a situation that occurs when blood flow to the brain cells is interrupted. There are basically two types of stroke. An ischemic stroke is when an artery becomes blocked by a blood clot, depriving cells of oxygen. About 83 percent of strokes are ischemic. Hemorrhagic stroke is when there is actual bleeding from the arteries into the brain tissue, accounting for about 17 percent of all strokes. The resulting functional impairment or disability following a stroke depends on the location of the vascular lesion in the brain. Speech and language is a function primarily of the left hemisphere of the brain, so when the stroke occurs in the left hemisphere, communication - the ability to speak, understand, read and write - will possibly be affected. The extent is determined by the severity of the damage to the brain.
This brings me to the point I really want to make. What does the stroke survivor experiencing communication disorders need from us? I know what my own observations tell me, but I wanted to see what others say about it so I set off to find out. In the process, I found a jewel of an evidence-based report called "The Psychosocial Spiritual Experience of Elderly Recovering from Stroke." The elders recalled that the early period following the stroke was terrifying. Connection with others was important in recovery, and communication difficulties led to feelings of isolation. They stressed that the work of recovery requires a great deal of physical and psychological effort, and that hope and inner strength were important.
What people who survive strokes may need most from us is not found in any kind of therapeutic technique or approach. It's found in our ability to show up and be real in our caring. It's found in the simple gift of touch and heart-to-heart connection. It's found in acknowledging that the stroke survivor is a person whose life has been altered, but the individual inside the body remains the same. It's found in shared hope. I'll leave you with this poignant story called "Poor Thing" by Judith A. Russo, who cared for her husband following his stroke.
"Did you hear that Joe had a stroke?" asks Person A.
"Oh yes, poor thing!" says Person B.
"He was such a good person and a good worker," says A.
"Yes, too bad, isn't it?"
My husband had a stroke in February 2000, which left him with Broca's aphasia. Do you know what Broca's aphasia is? What you need to know is that he is not a "poor thing." And he still is, not was, a good person. He is a survivor who is living a richer life now than he was before. He was in the rat race of existence, going round and round with the dizzying effects of a non-stop merry-go-round. Now, he has time to smell the lilacs, watch the egret fish for its dinner and marvel as his granddaughter grows inch by inch. How poor can that be?
He is, perhaps, disabled, but the same person he was before the stroke. Most folks become so intimidated with the affliction "stroke" that they forget there is a real person living in that body, a person who thinks, hurts, laughs and cries just like you.
"I don't know," replies Person B.
"Well, I won't bother him now, or call or visit. After all, he's probably busy, and I don't know how much he understands anyway."
"I agree," says B. "He probably wouldn't know who we are, and we don't want to embarrass him."
By the way, Broca's aphasia is the inability to communicate effectively by speech. What is the therapy for people with aphasia? Talking to the survivor and encouraging them to respond. You might have to wait for two or three awkward moments for them to think about what to say. In the meantime, you may see the egret fish for its catch of the day. You may see the lush brown velvet cat-o'-nine tails waving in the wind, or the rabbits playfully goading each other on the lawn, or the huge turtle crawling along the banks of the pond with a goldfish in its jaws. Come at dusk and perchance you will see the deer as they come to the pond to drink. You will go away richer for the visit because you will have escaped the runaway merry-go-around, if only for a few moments. You will feel rich and will have blessed the heart of the "poor one who was such a good person."
When a stroke happens to a relative, friend or co-worker, please do not put them into an isolation they never asked for. Reach out and touch someone today.

Ode to grunge
By Samantha Anne Carrillo [ Thu Apr 11 2013 2:10 PM ]
Depending on your aural upbringing and age, the term "grunge" may conjure up wildly divergent things. Read all about Alibi Copy Editor/Staff Writer Mark Lopez's romance with the Seattle sound in Seattle Wall of Sound: A paean to grunge. For me, Nirvana's Bleach was revelatory; Lopez prefers In Utero. Exploring difference is fun, no? In honor of this myriad genre, I compiled an hour-long grunge-tastic playlist for our dear readers, featuring tracks by: Flipper, L7, Babes in Toyland, 7 Year Bitch, Hole, Nirvana, Mudhoney, Tad, Wool, Melvins, Sleep Capsule, Coffin Break, Soundgarden, Killdozer, Pixies, The Breeders and Green River. Stream it below. Less-than-fresh coiffures, well-worn flannel and Dr. Martens are optional.

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Bold combo of memoir, travelogue
On his mother's side, British Columbia poet and professor Jay Ruzesky is a cousin, twice-removed, of Norwegian explorer Roald Amundsen.
Ruzesky's compelling new memoir, In Antarctica, tells the story of his trip to the Antarctic a century after his ancestor became the first person to set foot on the South Pole.
Ruzesky, who now teaches in Duncan, spent his childhood dreaming of the polar expeditions. But his adult life had been consumed by writing three collections of poetry and a novel, teaching and having a family.
As the 2011 anniversary of Amundsen's achievement approached, Ruzesky tried to reconcile himself to not following in his ancestor's footsteps.
He failed. Instead, Ruzesky found himself online, booking a berth on a ship that would take him from Patagonia to the Antarctic.
What's more, he convinced his brother Scott to come along, even if his sibling's first question was, "Which one of us is Amundsen?"
Ruzesky knew he was incurring tens of thousands of dollars of debt but thought there might be a book in his trip across the ice. (Which, in case you're wondering, makes perfect economic sense to a poet.)
Structurally, In Antarctica parallels Ruzesky's 2011 trip with episodes from Amundsen's 1911 voyage on the Fram and his earlier expedition to the Antarctic on the Belgica in 1887. His title is obviously an homage to the late Bruce Chatwin's classic 1977 travel memoir, In Patagonia.
The sections from Ruzesky's point of view meld travel writing with memoir, which effectively sets the stage for the writer's month-long voyage.
For instance, though Ruzesky has called B.C. home for 20 years, he spent his childhood in the cold-weather climes of Winnipeg, Thunder Bay, Saskatoon and Calgary.
One story that would be familiar to anyone who grew up on the Prairies details how the entrance collapsed to the quinzee he and his schoolmates had built in their school playground in Thunder Bay.
This is meaningful, given that Amundsen's crew spent more than a year in a large hut connected to a series of snow caves on the Ross Ice Shelf before making their attempt on the pole.
Also interesting is Ruzesky's anecdote of a failed dog-sledging lesson in Whitehorse in 2002. Knowing that Amundsen's success in reaching the South Pole was largely attributed to his use of dogs instead of ponies, like his English rival Robert Falcon Scott, supercharges this story.
Ruzesky also includes meditations on exploration and cartography and provides context for Amundsen's journey by providing thumbnail sketches of other voyages to both the North and South poles.
The other half of In Antarctica is in Amundsen's voice, an incredibly detailed account that Ruzesky somehow cobbled together from the explorer's journals and photographs.
More importantly, these sections are very finely written. Ruzesky illuminates Amundsen's dreamy childhood and his possible motives for devoting his life to exploration instead of medicine, as his mother would have preferred.
Ruzesky's description of Admundsen's affair with the married Sigrid Castberg that preceded the 1911 voyage, however, read like the best historical fiction.
All of which is to say that In Antarctica is a bold and satisfying composite of creative non-fiction, memoir and travel writing.
Ariel Gordon is a Winnipeg poet whose paternal great-grandfather died on the shores of Antarctica's South Georgia Island in 1914.

Prime Minister Netanyahu and PA President Abbas 311 (R).
(photo credit:Jason Reed / Reuters)
The Middle East has always marched to its own drumbeat, lived in its own special
reality, but Palestinian Authority chairman Mahmoud Abbas and Prime Minister
Binyamin Netanyahu are taking matters to a new level.The Palestinians,
for whom national unity has always been a foremost priority, given their
geographic separation and consequent fear that this could become an even deeper
national fissure, are hopelessly divided between the fanatical "Hamastan" in
Gaza and the feckless Palestinian Authority in the West Bank. No elections have
been held for seven years and the prospects for true reconciliation are as
distant as ever, probably more so, even if Hamas' great "victory" during
Operation Pillar of Defense may lead to a fleeting papering over of
differences.Egypt and Jordan, the twin Arab pillars of the peace process
and forces of Arab moderation, the PA's primary sources of support, are in deep
trouble.The entire Arab world is coming apart, the century old map of
the Middle East possibly crumbling before our very eyes, further decreasing the
Arabs' ability to actually support the Palestinian cause. Sixty-four
dysfunctional years later, the Palestinians are as far from a state as
ever.So what does Abbas do? Renew negotiations, after refusing to do so
for three years, or moderate positions in a way that might facilitate agreement?
No. He once again manifests the long-standing Palestinian preference for
showmanship over substance, achieving a dramatic feel-good PR victory in the UN,
which will bring the Palestinians not one inch closer to actual statehood. So
what else is new. The Palestinians have always preferred the afterglow of
diplomatic grandiloquence and international approbation, a fantasy state in
their minds, over the difficult compromises required by negotiations – the only
way they will ever achieve statehood. It is so much easier to revel in the
support of the General Assembly than to muster the political courage and
wherewithal needed for a negotiated settlement.And Netanyahu, who
deserves considerable credit for having successfully galvanized world attention
on Iran during the past year, for conducting Operation Pillar of Defense in a
way that not only realized Israel's primary goals, but also enjoyed surprising
international support, and who succeeded in deflecting attention from a peace
process that was unfortunately not going anywhere in any event, has now
refocused attention on the Palestinian issue.Pillar of Defense may have
been a necessary short-term diversion from Iran, but did Israel have to respond
to the UN decision by reviving long moribund settlement plans in Ma'ale Adumim
and Jerusalem, that it will probably not implement any way and whose sole
practical import is to infuriate the entire world, including the US and Europe?
Were there no other options, or have we too become more interested in form than
substance? Do we truly wish to cut off funding to the PA and undermine the
security cooperation which has significantly contributed to the near total
absence of terrorism from the West Bank in recent years? The premier has
frivolously squandered vital interests.ISRAEL IS in the midst of what
Americans call the "silly season," the period prior to elections, when politics
run rampant. Pandering to one's constituency prior to elections is an old
established democratic practice, but the entire Middle East is in flames and
undergoing a fundamental transformation that is likely to lead to a dramatic
deterioration in Israel's strategic fortunes.What began as a hopeful Arab
Spring is rapidly evolving into an Islamist nightmare and we are in danger of
being surrounded by radical failed states and all sides. Egypt and Syria
are already tottering, Jordan may be too.The danger of Syrian use of
chemical weapons has grown and along with it the horrifying specter that they
will fall into the hands of Hezbollah and other terrorist organizations. 2013
was supposed to be the critical year on Iran, not a period in which Israel
would, through its own actions, refocus world attention on the Palestinians. The
peace process was unlikely to have gone anywhere in any event, due to
Palestinian obstinacy, but Netanyahu's demonstrative actions convince the world
that the blame is almost entirely ours.Strategic wisdom would indicate
that we should be doing everything possible to minimize all distractions and
secondary issues, enable the world to focus on the supreme issue, Iran, and now
Syrian WMD too.Israel faces dire, historic decisions in the coming year.
With his electoral victory virtually assured – and even if this were not the
case – it is time for the premier to get his strategic priorities right. This is
true for Abbas and the Palestinians as well, but then, they always prefer to
live in Wonderland.The writer is a Senior Fellow at the Belfer Center,

Not so much iPhone as iSpy. It turns out that the ubiquitous Apple smartphone comes with an application that it did not care to advertise: it uses its GPS technology to keep a record of the user's movements.
The researchers who discovered this feature point out that it could be used by jealous spouses or private detectives in ways that the phone's owner might not be particularly happy about. Of course, the feature could also, theoretically, help the absent-minded (or hard-drinking) iPhone owner remember where they were the night before. But the reaction of most people to this news will probably not be to look on the positive side. The idea of "Big Brother in your pocket" is unlikely to be the basis of Apple's next advertising campaign.
Yet it will be interesting to see whether even this revelation will be able to dent the iPhone's huge popularity. There has been unfortunate publicity attached to the device in the past – reception problems, faulty software – but with no appreciable affecton sales.
Psychiatrists in Taiwan claim to have identified an "iPhone Addiction Disorder". If the device can ride out this spying storm unscathed, the world might have to concede that they are on to something.

American Airlines gives unions timetable for contract cuts
- Matt Joyce
- Staff Writer- Dallas Business Journal
- Email | Twitter | Google+
American Airlines has notified unionized employees about its schedule for implementing new contracts as part of the airline's bankruptcy restructuring plan, including changes to employee benefits.
The Fort Worth-based airline sent letters to employees in the Transport Workers Union, Allied Pilots Association and Association of Professional Flight Attendants on Wednesday with a schedule for some changes.
The letters came on the same day that U.S Bankruptcy Judge Sean Lane approved new six-year contracts for members of the 17,000-member APFA and seven work groups of TWU, which together represent 23,500 ground workers.
The APFA voted to ratify American's final contract offer in August, while TWU work groups ratified their contracts in May and August. The new contracts include 17 percent cost savings and more flexible work rules for the airline.
The changes include the Nov. 1 freeze of defined benefit pension plans and employees will be shifted to retirement savings plans, Denise Lynn, American's senior vice president of people, said in the letter. Also for those workers, a new retiree medical coverage programs start Nov. 1.
Lynn said the company will also move forward with other restructuring changes that vary by department or employee group.
"There will be changes in our airports, maintenance and cargo operations, among others, as that process moves forward — and you should expect to receive more specific information about implementation plans from your operating leadership," Lynn said in the letter.
"Where these plans involve the outsourcing and job reductions announced previously, Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act (WARN) notices will be mailed to those who may be affected," Lynn said.
