The Homeland Security Department could take over the cybersecurity of all federal civilian agencies under proposed legislation that the White House sent to Congress May 12. However, DHS would have only limited authority to oversee the security of privately owned critical infrastructure.
The proposal, which administration officials characterized as a starting point for discussions with Congress and industry, establishes DHS as the lead cybersecurity agency with "primary responsibility within the executive branch for information security," including the power to mandate policies and activities for government systems, reports William Jackson at FCW.com.
The legislation would also create a regulatory framework for nongovernment critical infrastructure that requires owners and operators to develop security plans, and it would establish a national requirement for notifying people of data breaches.
The relationship between government and industry has been one of the thornier challenges for securing critical infrastructure, and the proposal attempts to find the right balance.
"Perhaps one of the more interesting things in the proposal is that the White House wants for local government and industry to voluntarily ask for help when they have security issues," writes Eyder Peralta at NPR. "They also want local governments and industry to share 'new types of computer viruses or other cyber threats or incidents' with the federal government. The proposal makes it clear that doing so is legal and provides them immunity if they do so."
Peralta also noted the bill's application of the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act to cyber crime, which has previously not been considered subject to RICO even though organized crime rings have been engaged in cyber crime for some time.
Lolita Baldor of the Associated Press reports on tension between business groups, who generally want cybersecurity laws to be light on mandates, and security advocates, who say the White House proposal is toothless.
"The administration's proposal shows no sense of urgency," said Stewart Baker, a former senior DHS official, as quoted by AP. "It tells even critical industries on which our lives and society depend that they will have years before anyone from government begins to evaluate their security measures."
A senior DHS official, speaking on condition of anonymity, told the Washington Post that the goal was to encourage good practices from industry. "We worked long and hard to come up with a framework that would enable industry to figure out the best way to protect itself," the official said.
Kristin Lord, vice president and director of studies at the Center for a New American Security, told the Post that the administration is trying to persuade "critical infrastructure providers to do the right thing by holding out the implied threat of regulation."
Administration officials said the proposed regulatory framework acknowledges that government does not have all of the answers and elevates public/private cooperation above regulation, Jackson reports. The proposal will likely be reconciled with similar cybersecurity legislation that has been introduced in the House and Senate.

Lilly was shooting the hit show at the time of the fire and no one was injured in the blaze.
The couple didn't arrive at the scene until just after sunset and came armed with flashlights and gloves.
The pair sifted through the rubble and managed to salvage a few personal items.

Bell Shakespeare presents Macbeth
Posted by The Events Editorial Team
12. Jun, 2012
|June 21, 2012 5:00 am
|June 22, 2012 5:00 am
Bell Shakespeare is rolling the dice this June with Macbeth, the play whose name is associated with misfortune for any company that has the gall to stage it.
So far, no broken limbs or missing heads to report. What we can report is that Kate Mulvany is sumptuous and dangerous as the saucy, spot-hating Lady MacBeth, while Dan Spielman holds his own as the conflicted Scot.
With the lush production values and performances we've come to expect from Bell Shakespeare, The Bard's Scottish play goes down easier than a side of haggis.
WHEN: Now until June 23
WHERE: The Arts Centre, Melbourne

Keeping the Junk
I found myself stuck at home with a bad ankle this weekend, so I did what I normally do when I'm stuck at home: I cleaned.
Friends With Venmo
Venmo is most widely used by millennials. Like other topics once known for being verboten at a dinner party, we're known for being more open than our parents about money. So it's fitting that Venmo, unlike its predecessor PayPal, includes a social networking aspect: I log in and can see that Alex paid Sara $13 for movie tickets. But we're also still navigating a time in our lives when careers and financial milestones move at varying paces among peer groups, breeding those awkward bill-splitting moments that so often end in temporary annoyance ("Did you see the way Pat stiffed the bartender on the tip?" "Those girls John brought last night ordered like, three pitchers of margaritas that they didn't pay for, dude.")
The Cost of Things: Museums
The new Kehinde Wiley exhibit opens at the Brooklyn Museum in a few days and I was lucky enough to get a sneak peek. (The "Press" sticker is still attached to my sweater, so that I get to feel momentarily better-than-garbage when I glance at myself in a mirror.) The show is breathtaking, full of everything from sculpture to stained glass. Highly recommend.
The Brooklyn Museum is a 10-15 walk from my house, next to the equally awesome Botanical Gardens. I have lots of fondness for both institutions. Do I belong to either? No.
It's dumb! Or, more specifically, I guess, it's penny wise, pound foolish. But it's so hard to know what to buy memberships to. If I could I would buy memberships to every cultural institution I like to spend time at: the Brooklyn Museum, the Botanical Gardens, BAM for sure. Maybe the zoo in Prospect Park? Maybe the Brooklyn Children's Museum? Both are great places to take a toddler with endless amounts of energy. The aquarium?
Too many choices! I close down and do nothing.
Where Is It Still Illegal To Buy Sex Toys
The film version of Fifty Shades of Grey has broken all sorts of February box office records. It has made $93 million, which means it now holds the title of President's Day Weekend champion. (Washington and Lincoln must be so proud.) It also tops a list called "Widest Opening" which sounds so dirty and is, thus, perfectly appropriate. Funniest of all, it surpassed Mel Gibson's Passion of the Christ for the biggest February opening ever. Jesus wept.
Or did he? My understanding of Jesus is that he was a pretty cool, feminist-y guy. He didn't ignore ladies or mansplain to them; he hung out with prostitutes and adulterers and seemed as comfortable with them as with anyone. He wasn't a sex-negative fundy. Maybe he'd be proud that a movie starring a woman, directed by a woman, written by a woman based on material by a woman and inspired by other material by and about a woman has caused such a stir.
Though I haven't contributed to its gross, and I think the book is breathless, poorly written, and almost laughably bad on a sentence-to-sentence level, I am on record as a supporter of the Fifty Shades of Grey phenomenon. Once upon a time, before I even tried to read the book, I defended its right to exist and the right of women to get off on it, if they liked. Because of that piece, I got interviewed by Geraldo, who asked me, on the radio, "What's a butt plug?" Just like Ana Steele asks in the movie!

sky light question
Does anyone have shades on their skylights? I live in a brownstone and have three very large skylights on the top floor. I love the light they provide but I would like to block the heat that they produce during the summer.
Check to see if your skylights have a manufacturer's name on them. Velux and others make shades for their units.
Perhaps, if yours are old models, you could look at those and have some made.
A shade with catches so that the cord ran across the skylight could close it,just as do shades that can be pulled from bottom to top.
I have 2 in my kitchen extension with pleated shades which operate with the same pole that opens the skylights. I ordered them at the window place when I purchased the skylights. I closed the shades today and I won't open them before fall unless I open the skylights to release the heat. The shades make a huge difference. I have 3 skylights on the top floor, none of which have shades and you can feel the heat as you walk under them.
If you have the make and model of your skylights then the window place will know what to order. Otherwise take detailed, accurate dimensions to the window place.

Diana Nyad is attempting to swim from Havana, Cuba to Key West Florida, a 103-mile haul. She started her journey yesterday, but before she hit the ocean, she spoke with Today's Natalie Morales.

In 1978, Olympic swimmer Diana Nyad attempted to swim from Cuba to Florida, but had to stop after 42 hours due to bad weather. Now 60, she's trying again, to prove "that it's never too late to chase your dream." » 7/11/10 3:00pm 7/11/10 3:00pm

You are what you eat. In other words you become the "dumb" animal you eat, which is wonder you are too stupid to stop eating meat. You are addicted to a sensual pleasure, which has no nutritional merit and terrible consequences of poor health and environmental devastation. Meat eaters are literally killing the plant eaters, while being willing to subject themselves to all types if disease, pain and suffering, for a simple temporary pleasure of "taste" which plant eaters do not share, in fact most plant eaters don't like the taste of meat and usually have I mediated negative side affects if they do eat some meat.Does this sound crazy, well it is, because meat eating not only causes physical disease, but mental, emotional and spiritual degradation. How stupid is that! The only way to save the environment and human life is a substantial and immediate reduction of meat eating and it's wasteful production system. If you are eating meat you may also not be aware of all these negatives, because you have lost your sensitivity, intuition and rational thinking ability-You have become what you eat, a dumb animal...Please break this negative habit for the sake of not only your future but that of the entire human race and the Earth such gives us our life.Zommie - 2014-11-16 07:00:42

Hello Lillie, Great post! I used to be a vegetarian... until I found out what goes on behind the scenes of the dairy and egg industries, and then quickly concluded that the only way and correct moral and common sense choice is to be a vegan. Sure, being a vegetarian is much better than eating meat, but veganism is the answer. I only wish I'd found out earlier about this. I simply hadn't finish my research. Feel free to read my detailed article on dairy to get the whole picture:http://earthlingsinternational.wordpress.com/2014/03/12/the-dairy-deception/ The dairy and meat industries are linked. You can also find plenty of resources and information on the egg industry and what it does to chickens and the environment. It's horrible. And, like meat, totally unnecessary and unjustifiable. Us humans don't eat meat, dairy or eggs. Animals are here with us, not for us. There are many great educational videos out there, you can check some out on my site: www.earthlings-international.com Keep up the good work :)Evany - 2014-04-28 12:16:26

Monstrous Bodies
Dyson Lecturer Ying Wang explores disability, deviance, and feminism in the writings of 19th century French female authors.
"We had already talked a lot about a difference in identity. Differences in gender, race, sexuality—how they were represented in women's writings," says Ying Wang, PhD, a lecturer in Dyson's Modern Language and Cultures Department, "but critics have overlooked a very important difference: body difference, disabled people, how women represent these figures and why they were incorporated into women's writings."
This exploration of body difference, Wang believes, possibly stems from fact that in the 19th century,the scientific, medical, religious, and moral discourses were destined to justify the link between femininity and disability. The female body is considered to be an inferior body—a weak body. When women represent and involve this disability in their works, specifically in their sentimental novels, there must be a reason, Wang asserts, a reason worth our attention and research.
"The concept of the normal body, this standard, is what creates this monstrous body," says Wang. "Any deviation is considered abnormal—'monstrous.' We consider the female body to be abnormal, the second body."
The 19th century female writer was considered a "monstrous" being by her contemporaries. Why? Wang says it's mainly because in Western society, women's roles were defined to be private—the angel of the house. "Only man had the right to write, and those sorts of public things," Wang says, "Women should be wife and mother, but when they started to write, they reclaimed their subjectivity. They transgressed the gender constraints that society imposed on them."
The novels Wang primarily focused her research on were Anatole (1815) by Sophie Gay, a love story featuring a deaf and mute man; Olivier ou le Secret (1824) by Claire de Duras, a tragic love story that deals with male physiological impotence; Delphine de Girardin's Monsieur le Marquis de Pontanges (1856), a story about a woman who must choose between her mentally retarded husband and a handsome, young seducer; and finally Juliette Adam's Laide (1878), a dramatic tale of a young woman cast from her home by her sculptor father for having an ugly face.
"I want to wake them up," says Wang, "I want to wake up their long-forgotten work and I want to wake up the disabled figures represented in their novels. I think there must be meaning behind it—how Western women within the context of the 19th century were considered disabled—not equal to men—and how women writers used disabled figures to question the norm and the constraints imposed by society on their gender. "
Wang, who has spent the last several years investigating the representation of the disabled body in 19th century women's sentimental novels, says France's literary women have been forgotten and their work rarely incorporated into canon—not because their writing wasn't any good, but because the patriarchy ideology favored male writers while marginalizing women's literary creativity.
"The women writers of that time were seen as abnormal. They were popular and famous at the time, but have since disappeared from our anthologies and literary collections," explains Wang. "They were considered as hybrids—possessing the body of a woman, but the mentality and intelligence of a man."
For Wang, the importance of the textual body is critical to understanding why women writers included disability in their work and how the disabled figures influenced the narrative structure of their novels.
"For example, when there are disabled figures—when the hero is deaf—the disability initiates that story. It motivates that story to explain what happened and why," she says. "One of the major functions of this deviance—this absence of normalcy—is to initiate a story to tell."

I didn't think I would like the Tokarev grip angle, it looked uncomfortable to me. (this looks pretty similar)
I collect C&R firearms and decided to get a Yugo Tokarev. It feels great in my hand, I wasn't expecting to enjoy shooting it so much. It looks very nice, robust and well made except for one issue:
Compared to my Dad's Romanian Tokarev, my Yugo has some REALLY rough machine work on the slide rails. The action is quite gritty. It was so bad at first, the slide would stay back without the slide release engaged. It has smoothed up after sitting and cycling the slide constantly during a 1.5 hour movie, and after a couple hundred rounds shooting it. It's still pretty gritty, though, and I think I'm going to lap it or do some polishing.
This was an older, C&R Tokarev, though. Zastava may be doing a better job these days on their machine work. Maybe mine was made near quitting time on a Friday or something. My Yugo SKS is quite smooth.
Hope that is helpful.....
Any good/bad news on the
Any good/bad news on the trigger/ trigger travel & pull/ release? How about the grip angle/wrist angle? Too straight for me, from the looks of it; but I love my old Luger and my Ruger Mk II. What's your take? Any gunsmith around who would do a trigger job on this commie block design? Regards...
Trigger started out pretty
Trigger started out pretty gritty but it's smoothed out a lot. I had to do a LOT of detailed cleaning when I first got it. Don't expect to ever get to match grade; you won't get it with this weapon. I just saw a video on youtube that went into how to completely disassemble Tokarevs and it looks like it may be relatively easy to do the "$0.25 trigger job" on the trigger assembly. I'd try that first before going to the gunsmith.
The grip angle doesn't bother me - my Ruger Mk. II is a favorite as well. The pistol has been very accurate out to about 15 yards - I haven't tried it any further. It's been very reliable thus far. I literally haven't had any malfunctions in over 500 rounds. You cannot beat this proven design in an all-steel handgun for close to $200.

They have a great product with a 20+ reputation for qualityCons
The direct sales team is a really tough job. It was a real challenge and I grew tremendously as a person and salesman by the experience but often felt left out to dry by an unorganized, often dishonest and unsympathetic management - both in terms of logistics (getting their product to the venue) and support (there's definitely an "in crowd" and if you're not a Mormon you have to be perfect in your sales numbers or you won't work). They say they're a big family but the sales goals and commission often don't make sense -- I saw guys who were in the top 5% for 2 months and could not support their family.Advice to ManagementAdvice
If you believe in a loving God as much as you talk about in the mandatory weekly sales calls, you might want to reconsider how you treat your sales force. You can't have a team of all homerun hitters. Big hitters strike out, a lot. You need solid base-hitters if you want to have a successful team.Doesn't RecommendNegative OutlookNo opinion of CEO

Warn Google! TwitterSpam Memes Could Game Search Rankings
Wow I feel like I'm on the bleeding edge right now. I was checking out tweme.com, which has only been around for three months, and I noticed a weird tag in the tagcloud that was getting a lot of attention, GoodPeople. It's retweeting anything with the #goodpeople tweme tag in it- I don't know if this is an error, or a clever new type of spam.
Whether it was intentional or not, someone could do this on purpose. I call the phenomenon a speme (spam meme). On tweme.com is that a bunch of links get created, and though tweme.com currently is not the most powerful website to get SEO backlinks from, arguably any backlinks are good, and these are not nofollow links. The tweme creator might want to consider making some of them nofollows.
(more below about the Google implications after I throw out some new twitter words...)
Speme and Twitterisms
The speme word made me realize there's quite a bit of twitterism that goes on- twitterism is itself a twitterism- my word for a new word created in the twitterverse. Here are some examples that I and others have contributed to urban dictionary:
Speme Spam from Tweme in Google?
In any case, twitter is getting indexed quite well by Google, and as a whitehat SEO professional, I expect this will be gamed in some way by somebody quite soon. The whole twitter API + programming leading to retweets plus lots of new twitter-related sites like twemes going viral and getting super popular in just weeks means a whole new crop of spam for Google.
Plus, all the twitterisms means a lot of new keywords that aren't tough to rank on. It's the wild west again- lots of new keywords to mine! Pretty exciting no matter what color SEO hat you wear.
In any case, the twitterverse is moving pretty fast- I can't anticipate how people might game it and spam Google, and I'm not going to try because that will just give black hatters more ideas!

Three Poets of Modern Korea
Yi Sang Hahm Dong-seon and Choi Young-mi
Most Americans' images of Korea extend little further than Hyundais and demilitarized zones and vague stories about eating dogs. This book, which offers fairly generous samplings of three very different Korean poets, may help begin to ease our ignorance about the rich poetic culture of Korea-a country where, according to the translators' introduction, poems are to be found everywhere.
The first, Yi Sang (1910-1936), wrote experimental poems that were, and remain, both widely known and controversial among Korean readers. Surreal, playful, and hermetic by turns, his work is both dazzling and engaging, perhaps reminiscent of some strange combination of Arthur Rimbaud, Andre Breton, and Frank O'Hara. (One hopes that the translations are faithful to the original, since Yu's and Kimbrell's versions of all three poets read very well as English poems.) Many of Yi's poems, like the brief "Distance," are in prose; it ends "My life is becoming better acquainted with this distance that resembles nothing so much as a disaster area."
Hahm Dong Seon, born in 1930 in a city that is now part of North Korea, has lived most of his life in exile. His work is traditional, imagistic, reflective, with a nostalgic leaning that is tempered by anger at a history of violence: "When everything was done, / a quiet peace / Like cool moisture spreading across paper windows and doors / was the first and last pleasure under colonial reign."
The youngest of these poets, Choi Young-mi, born in 1961, might be described as a granddaughter of Edna St. Vincent Millay-not that she writes sonnets, but that her poems have something of Millay's slightly cheeky, slightly world-weary tone. "The light on our skin shrank us," she writes in "Recollection of the Last Sex," "we threw our clothes on as quick as cold scales / will stick to a body."
The work of each of these poets is much more various and subtle than a review like this can detail. They offer much to delight and instruct, in poems that the translators have brought into English with grace and verve.

Two U.S. officials say they believe American journalist James Foley was the victim executed by Islamic State militants as shown in a grisly video released Tuesday.
Separately, Foley's family confirmed his death in a statement posted on a webpage that was created to rally support for his release.
In the statement, Foley's mother, Diane Foley, said the journalist, quote, "gave his life trying to expose the world to the suffering of the Syrian people."
One of the U.S. officials said President Barack Obama was expected to make a statement about the killing on Wednesday.
The U.S. officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the video by name.

India skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni saluted his lower order batsmen for bailing out the side from tough situations and shaping team's 63-run win over the West Indies in the first cricket Test here.
Harbhajan Singh and Suresh Raina had shared a 146-run seventh-wicket stand in the first innings after India had slipped to 85 for six and then in the second innings Amit Mishra combined with Rahul Dravid to put on 56 runs for the ninth wicket to help stretch the lead beyond 300 runs.
"Our lower half batsmen, for the past year and a half, have been contributing well. We were 85 for 6 in the first innings before Harbhajan, along with Suresh Raina, bailed us out. In the second innings, Mishra made a telling contribution," Dhoni said at the post match press conference.
"But for that stand (Raina and Harbhajan), we could have been all out for 150. We were able to get more runs and thus gather a handy lead. Then in the second innings, we could stretch the lead to 300 plus," he added.
Dhoni also offered a wholesome appreciation to the veteran batsman Dravid, who scored 112 in the second innings, and paceman Praveen Kumar, who took six wickets on debut.
"Dravid has been an exceptional batsman. That he played over 250 deliveries showed he was very patient. He made the bowlers pitch in his areas and was brilliant. Praveen is a very a skillful bowler and can swing it either way. He doesn't have the pace but he can swing the ball and confuse the batsmen if they needed to play or leave a delivery. He showed great character after having been stopped from bowling in the first innings.
"When you are switching from 10-over format to 20-25 overs in an innings, you have to be careful. Importantly, he backed his strength and picked up wickets in the second innings as well."
Praveen Kumar picked up three for 42 in the second innings, to go with his three for 38 from the first, for the match figures of six for 80.
West Indies were all out for 262 in the second innings which was way short of 326-run target but Dhoni felt his side gave away too many deliveries to cut.
"In the first innings, both sides bowled tight and there were not many deliveries to cut. In the second innings, both the sides were lenient. It was slightly different wicket.
Unless you bowled really bad, it was difficult to score."
India offered Test caps to two young batsmen - opener Abhinav Mukund and Virat Kohli - in the Test and Dhoni urged them to quickly adapt to the environment of Test cricket.
"The short ball talk has been on for some time. In international cricket, you have to consistently face it. You need to adapt, you may not be the best player of fast bowling but if you can negotiate it, even if you don't look elegant, it's fair enough."
"It's important you are enjoying your cricket for when you do it, it helps you perform better."
Dhoni found merit in young Mukund and said it was imperative the team had a pool of openers.
"It's important to have a pool of openers. It's important they are given exposure in India A sides for you come to play against teams which has players who one day would represent their respective national sides."
Dhoni also made an encouraging remark on the home team by commenting their top order was as good as his own side.
"I will not make the mistake by saying that this opposition is not good enough. Every batsman can score runs. Their first seven batters have the talent which equally matches the one of current Indian team."
Keywords: lower order batsmen, short ball talk, pool of openers

Bags orders worth Rs. 9,571 crore
Profit excludes exceptional income of Rs. 1,020 crore
E&C division registers 18 % growth in revenue
MUMBAI: Despite general slowdown which impacted the economy in the recent past, Larsen & Toubro (L&T) has reported a 13 per cent growth at Rs. 851.35 crore in its net profit for the first quarter of 2009-10 against Rs. 755.08 crore in the same period last year. The net profit excludes an exceptional item of Rs. 1,019.88 crore earned by L&T from the sale of 11 per cent stake in UltraTech Cement early this year. However, the profit after tax including exceptional item increased by 218 per cent to Rs. 1,598.20 crore (Rs. 502.44 crore). Net sales were up 7 per cent at Rs. 7,362.71 crore (Rs. 6,901.43 crore).
Even as the capital goods and infrastructure sectors await an acceleration of investments into the core and other growth inducing areas of the economy, the company was able to bag fresh orders totalling to Rs. 9,571 crore during the quarter.
According to the company, the economic buoyancy prevailing in the early part of the previous year transformed into a cautious "wait and watch" approach, resulting in relatively lower order inflows during the quarter as compared to the corresponding quarter of the previous year. The company reported an improved operating margin of 11.3 per cent during the quarter.
The engineering and construction (E&C) division of the company had an order inflow of Rs. 8,373 crore which was lower than the same period last year. This segment's revenue for the quarter stood at Rs. 6,573 crore, a growth of 18 per cent. The share of export revenues represented 20.6 per cent of the revenues.
PTI reports:
Addressing a press conference here company Executive Vice President (Finance) R. Shankar Raman said "there are large orders in the pipeline which might come from ONGC and the government. ONGC is set to refurbish 14 oil wells which are around 15 years old. L&T is re-qualified to bid for these projects."

An Inver Grove Heights man was recently indicted for selling counterfeit sports jerseys.
Forty-five-year-old Brian Todd Gore is accused of trafficking counterfeit jerseys imported from China from November 2009 to September 2012. Prosecutors say he ordered the jerseys from suppliers in China and then conspired with others, knowing they would be sold to the public.
The indictment alleges that a co-conspirator had hundreds of counterfeit sportswear items in a store in Roseville, some of which were purchased from Gore. Gore is also accused of traveling to Miami for the 2010 NFL Super Bowl to sell the fake jerseys.
If convicted, Gore faces up to 10 years in prison and up to $2 million in fines.

Could it be that today's pervasive bad news, the news that causes everyone else to moan and complain—the economic malaise, the chaos that the digital revolution created, the impacts of outsourcing, political instability, global competition—can offer amazing opportunities to out- distance your competition? In this second chapter excerpt from the new book, Agile Innovation, Langdon Morris explores innovation-under-duress.

Charles Darwin said it quite well: "In the long history of humankind (and animal kind, too) those who learned to collaborate and improvise most effectively have prevailed." Innovation, collaboration, and improvisation are indeed essential forces shaping all of business and all of modern life, and they've become vitally important for the individual, the organization, and indeed for all of society.

Turning ideas into numbers and knowing the characteristics of the Ideal Idea (0.00iur) is like having a compass and knowing the safe harbor where the minimal risks of innovation converge. Mathematically identifying desired ideas by users, extracted from simplified mathematical formulas, is the Holy Grail that eliminates uncertainties and passionate discussions, which are unhelpful in choosing ideas.

We bet you hear the word innovation at least a dozen times a day, if not more. Every single company seems to be thinking of, planning for, and somehow doing innovation in some way. With so many ideas, frameworks and success stories, how can you cut through the noise and capture what's most relevant for your company?

Is your workplace cluttered? Not in the physical sense, but the figurative one. Do you have a bunch of old tasks and procedures taking up space without adding much value? Just like you have to dig through your closet every so often and get rid of questionable items that you once thought were good purchases, sometimes you have to assess the mental clutter that has built up in the workplace over time and recognize when policies have gone out of style. Tasks and rules that were once must-haves can build exponentially and increase complexity until employees have time for little else, like innovation.

Many organizations in both the public and private sectors suffer from a corporate culture which is risk averse and fearful of failure. People are reluctant to try new things or even to suggest innovations. They remember old stories about colleagues being punished for experiments that failed. They have learnt that it is safest to keep a low profile and focus on standard operating procedures. Mean while the executive committee is desperately trying to think of ways to make the outfit more agile and innovative.

From incremental to breakthrough innovation projects, managers need to handle different activities and with them dissimilar venues of risks. In this article the internal, external and hidden risks of incremental, differential, radical, and breakthrough innovation projects are identified and ranked accordingly.

Innovation is always a result of taking risk and mastering these risks successfully. However, in the past few years the risks resulting from the overall economic situation seems to have increased for small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs). As they cannot control these external risks many of them seem to stay away from too risky innovation projects. This has implications for the SMEs and for those who provide innovation support for SMEs?

As the economy is dynamically changing and innovation becomes crucially important, a look into the management practices and risks that such projects face should always be welcome.

McDowell clears space in trophy case
World Challenge his first win in 2 years
THOUSAND OAKS, Calif. -- Graeme McDowell kept trying to convince himself and everyone else that his game was improving, even though he had gone two years without a trophy to prove it.
That's what made Sunday at Sherwood so sweet.
With a pair of superb short-game shots on the back nine, McDowell closed with a 4-under 68 to win the World Challenge by three shots over Keegan Bradley, allowing him to head home for a 10-week break with a shot of confidence.
"It's been too long. It's been a hell of a two years since I sat here as a winner," McDowell said. "We all put winning up on a pedestal as the ultimate goal. We like to say that it's all about the process and going through the motions and trying to get better. But let's be honest. We all measure ourselves by the win. I can say that now."
The three-shot margin made it look easier than it was.
Sherwood was playing longer than ever in a light rain, giving an advantage to a big hitter like Bradley, not to mention tournament host Tiger Woods. Even when McDowell built a four-shot lead through 11 holes, a careless three-putt bogey on the 13th brought Bradley within two shots with five holes to play.
McDowell responded with a 75-foot putt that he lagged to tap-in range, a key moment for someone coming off a three-putt bogey. From a precarious spot behind the 17th green, he had to land his chip in the rough and hope it would hop onto the fringe and not run to far by the hole. He pulled it off perfectly.
"It was an inch away from sticking in the fringe, and about 1/16th of an inch away from going in the hole," he said.
He made one last birdie he didn't need, extending his dominance at Sherwood. It was the 10th time in 12 rounds at Sherwood that McDowell has shot in the 60s, and he now has two wins and a runner-up finish in his three trips to the World Challenge.
"This really caps off my season," McDowell said. "We try not to put winning on a pedestal, but this one feels very sweet because it's been a grind all year."
McDowell won for the first time since he beat Woods in a playoff at Sherwood to close out a dream season in 2010 that included his first major at the U.S. Open and the winning point for Europe at the Ryder Cup.
This win followed a year of frustration. He played in the final group of the U.S. Open and British Open but came up short, and he lost some enthusiasm going into tournaments late in the year. He talked all week about a 10-week break, some of it in Northern Ireland and the rest in Orlando, Fla., where he just built a new house and he's opening a tavern outside the gates of Lake Nona.
Bradley, who was within one shot after a birdie on the fifth hole, closed with a 69. Bo Van Pelt had a 70 to finish third. Woods, the tournament host and five-time champion, was never in the picture. He didn't make birdie until the 13th hole and shot 71 to tie for fourth.

Katy Perry Wants to Be an Actress
Katy Perry may not have had a blockbuster on her hands with her 'Part of Me' film, but that doesn't mean movies and TV aren't still on her radar. The 'Wide Awake' singer wants to expand her acting resume.
Katy Perry may not have had a blockbuster on her hands with her 'Part of Me' film, but that doesn't mean movies and TV aren't still on her radar. The 'Wide Awake' singer wants to expand her acting resume.
Katy Perry has dyed her hair several shades of the rainbow, and some of these hues are not found in nature. She has colored her locks at least a half dozen times this year, going from blue to pink to purple. All that processing and stripping of color can do a number on strands, making them dull, lifeless, brittle and dry. However, Perry's black locks are lush, luxe and shiny in her new ads for hair tool/product brand GHD.
- Interested in knowing every little piece of info about Katy Perry's video 'The One That Got Away?' Well, that's where Pop-Up Video comes in! The folks at VH1 feed us wonderful bits of knowledge about Perry's video. Did you know the dance the older people are doing is a Latvian folk dance called Sudmalinas? Well now you do!
Team R. Pattz all the way.
If there's anyone out there who knows the pain and the embarrassment of a public split, it's Katy Perry. That's why the 'Wide Awake' singer has jumped to support heartthrob actor Robert Pattinson, who, along with the rest of the world, learned last week that his girlfriend and 'Twilight' co-star Kristen Stewart had cheated on him.
A mega pop star loves Popchips!
Katy Perry has a new addition to her resume, besides singer, actress and perfumer. She is the new face of Popchips. She will serve as both the ambassador to and an investor o
Anyone who saw her (coolly received at the box office) film 'Katy Perry: Part of Me' knows that pop diva Katy Perry was torn up by the breakdown of her marriage to funnyman Russell Brand, as evidenced by that whole sobbing backstage scene.
And today, Saturday, July 14, we present to you the stupid news of the day! We kind of can't believe we're actually writing this, but it's so hilariously absurd that we just had to share it with you.
Looks like there's one part of Katy Perry that people don't want to see: her movie. The starlet's 'Part of Me: 3D' film was more of a wet sparkler than a full-blown firework at the box office its opening weekend.
There are a slew of rumors as to why Katy Perry and comedian and actor Russell Brand didn't last, ranging from their relatively short courtship (they were married for 14 months, but dated for less than a year before tying the knot) to insinuations of his infidelity and her over-the-top partying. But now a new point has been made: Brand wanted kids, and Perry wanted a career.
Other than some paparazzi PDA photos, Katy Perry has remained mum on her rumored relationship with Florence + the Machine guitarist Robert Ackroyd … until now.
Madonna knows how to sustain a career for decades, and that's something Katy Perry seeks to do. In a new interview, the bubblegum (and peppermint, cupcake, popcorn and whatever else she can put on her boobs) princess revealed she wants to take after the Queen of Pop.
Despite the fact that they are solo pop divas with outrageous fashion senses and the uncanny ability to craft hooky songs, Katy Perry and Lady Gaga are rarely compared.
That should change now that Perry's Vogue Italia photo spread for the July issue has landed, where she goes Gaga. The style, imaging and wardrobe are very Gaga-esque, with the mod hair and geometric outfits.

How did you choose paint for cabinets?
Hi everyone, I am getting ready to order my kitchen cabinets. We are using Dutch Haus out of Sarasota, based on their work for another Gardenwebber. I can't believe her name escapes me this morning, but thank you to her!
Here are my questions:
1) How do you choose which white to paint them? Do you find your countertop first and try to match a color to it?
2) Our cabinets will go to the ceiling with crown. The kitchen is open directly (no dividing wall) to other rooms. Does that mean that the kitchen cabinets, crown on the kitchen cabinets, and crown in the other rooms all have to be the same color? If not, how would you transition the two different color crowns?
Thank you :)
I'd start the paint color search with your fixed elements. So that is probably the floor, then I'd consider other elements that you know you want to use. For instance our floor was existing but the first thing we picked out was a backsplash that we absolutely fell in love with (I don't think this is the usual order of things). Then I backtracked and picked out a white that worked with our floors and the backsplash. If you have your heart set on particular counters, then that would be a good element to use.
I'm sorry I can't be of help with your second question. Decisions like that are why I'm sometimes happen that we don't have an open concept house. I guess I would try to keep the crown all the same and perhaps that will drive your color choice a bit more.
Thanks. I have read through dozens of GW discussions on the "right white" but I feel like with walnut floors I need a warmer white and with the countertop we're leaning toward - Calcutta Macaubus I need a cooler white.
I think I need to pick my slab and match the paint to that.

Tree peonies
With this crazy weather this year if you have tree peonies start checking the buds. At the start of December two of my plants started opening buds. Luckily with in a day or so it got real cold. This past week and it looks like next week also we will be in the upper 40's and 50's. Just the right temps to break dormancy. If you see your tree peony buds opening you might want to provide additional shade or mulch. If the buds expand too much you can lose your flowers. This is especially a problem with chinese tree peonies from the central plains region, the type most frequently imported to this country.
I must say, considering our very mild start this year, I had thought about looking at mine , since they do tend to start growing when temperatures are still very chilly here, in midspring, and long before our last frost date even. Considering the size of mine now, and the difficulty of covering larger plants , I guess they'll have to survive now on their own, though the coldest weather since they were planted some years ago is supposed to be on the way. Fingers crossed here! Brings to mind though, the one yellow I got some years back seems not to winter well even in above normal winter temperatures in my garden , and perhaps that a sign it's been weakened by some chronic disease perhaps? The others seem very cold hardy even in our colder winters and have little winter dieback!

FORT COLLINS - The Colorado State Forest Service has just made available an online mapping tool that will help community leaders, professional planners and interested citizens determine wildfire risk and where forest management actions can achieve the greatest impact to reduce that risk.
The Colorado Wildfire Risk Assessment Portal - or CO-WRAP - is a web-mapping tool that provides access to statewide wildfire risk assessment information. Through CO-WRAP, fire mitigation professionals, prevention planners, natural resource professionals and interested citizens can generate maps and download data and reports that describe defined project areas, such as neighborhoods or watersheds. The information in the portal is based on geographic information system (GIS) data layers that allow users to view such themes as the likelihood of an acre burning, potential fire intensity, historic fire occurrence and values at risk from wildfire.
"Wildland fires continue to threaten people, property, drinking water and forest assets across Colorado, and population growth into wildland-urban interface areas presents major challenges to Colorado residents," said Joe Duda, interim state forester. "Heightened awareness of wildfire risk and the forest management measures necessary to mitigate that risk are becoming increasingly important to ensure public safety."
CO-WRAP features two levels of access – one for community leaders, planning professionals and forestry professionals, and one for interested citizens. The professional viewer provides access to data and tools for use in creating fire protection or forest stewardship plans, or identifying priority fuels treatment areas. It also allows users to generate detailed risk summary reports for customized land areas – such as neighborhoods, Fire Protection Districts or counties. The public viewer provides a simple-to-use tool that allows users to explore wildfire risk and generate maps for specific locations.
"Whether to increase public awareness about wildfire risk, or to put much-needed information at the fingertips of fire managers, CO-WRAP will be a tremendous asset for Colorado," said Paul Cooke, director of the Colorado Division of Fire Prevention and Control.
The Colorado State Forest Service continues to be the lead state agency for providing forest stewardship and wildfire mitigation education to private landowners, following legislation in 2012 that transferred responsibility for wildfire command and control from the CSFS to the newly formed Division of Fire Prevention and Control.
