San Jose, CA, November 15, 2012 --(PR.com)-- Storing your data in the cloud means you can access it from anywhere – but so can others. Last week's resignation of CIA director David Petraeus is due to him and his ex-mistress being exposed by a shared a cloud account.
The past year has seen an enormous promotion of cloud computing by corporate giants like Apple, Microsoft and Google. Microsoft's Windows 8 has their Skydrive cloud platform built-in. Apple's new iPhone and Macbooks link to iCloud. Google goes further, producing a cloud-only notebook called the Chromebook. Users store photos, emails and documents – or in the case of Petraeus, intimate letters. However, in this rush the get into the cloud, the security of users can often be ignored.
"Cloud computing gives us the ability to use computing resources on demand from almost anywhere," explains Bill Whelmann, chief executive officer (CEO) of the IT consultancy Multisys.
But anywhere access to your data means there are risks concerning the privacy and security. Your data is also vulnerable to cybercriminals. The annual Norton Cybercrime Report estimates online crime cost the world economy an estimated $114 billion last year with 1 in 7 web users being a victim.
Encryption keeps your data safe
Software like Syncdocs can encrypt cloud data. "The encryption takes place before your data is sent to the Cloud, so nothing sensitive ever leaves your PC or phone" says Donald Recsei, a director of Syncdocs, an Australian company that make encryption products. "This is done to keep private data private."
Syncdocs fixes this problem by automatically encrypting files stored online so that only specified users can access them. In the event of a Google account hack, the encrypted data is protected by military strength encryption; files are useless garbage to those without the key.
Recsei says encryption is especially important for companies which store financial data, HR information, or trade secrets in the Cloud.
It can happen to individuals as well, as the Petraeus case sadly illustrates - even those who are more tech savvy than the CIA director.
In August, Mat Honan, a staff writer for the technology magazine "Wired," had his digital life stolen by hackers. His Twitter accounts, iPad, notebook and iPhone files, eight years' worth of emails and photos of his baby daughter were all stolen from his Apple iCloud account.
"Cloud storage providers have a lot of data on their servers and that makes it a tempting target for hackers," says Recsei, whose company has customers in 40 countries. "By automatically encrypting all sensitive material, Syncdocs gives individuals and businesses the confidence they need to take full advantage of the benefits of cloud computing."
The future
Gartner, a consultancy, predicts cloud computing to grow tenfold over the next four years. If that happens, the demand for more data security will also grow as increasing amounts of sensitive data is stored.
"The problem with sensitive data is that you don't know that how sensitive it is until the security breach," says Whelmann. "But then it's too late."

Up close on the third day of the match between India and Sri Lanka.
With the temperature slowly rising, nothing tops off a good summer's day like a delicious cocktail. This summer, the nation's first tea sommelier, James Labe, proudly introduces his new recipes of iced tea cocktails using ZEN Green Tea Liqueur.
Serves 16-18
Cooking time: approximately 20-25 minutes
Oven temperature 170-190°C (350-370°F)
2 cups sesame seeds
500 g/1 lb palm sugar (jaggery)
generous pinch of salt
This sublime candy depends on the humble potato for its texture and flavour and is a favorite in Sri Lanka.

375 ml/12 fl oz/1 1/2 cups milk
400 g/14 oz can sweetened condensed milk

185 g/6 oz finely chopped raw cashew nuts
2 tablespoons rose water
or 1 teaspoon vanilla essence
1 teaspoon ground cardamom (optional)
Serves 4.
Also called called lunu miris in Sri Lanka, this is one of those preparations which needs a mortar and pestle to achieve the right consistency: an electric blender would require too much liquid to purée the ingredients.

or 3 tablespoons sambal ulek
15 g/1/2 oz pounded Maldive fish,
60 g/2 oz shallots or onions, peeled and chopped
lime juice

Any discussion about U.S. energy today inevitably turns to the new, abundant and cheap natural gas supplies being fracked from shale basins -- and how solar and wind can compete with it.

my brugs
Hi let me introduce myself.The name is Kathi,i live in a very hot and dry today S.Ca,along the coast.
I've been a GW member since 1999,i hang out mostly at the cottage gardens,cactus & succulent,kitchen table and several other places.I drop in here once i awhile,can't remember if i ever posted here or not.
Anyway,here's a brug a friend gave me a little over a month ago,at her house all the blooms were yellow,but as you can see at my house i have peach and a creamy white on the same plant,havn't seen a yellow one yet here at my house,
I also have a pink one on another part of the yard.
Hi Kathi and Welcome! You have a real beauty there. Is is fragrant at night? Don't know why yours is different than hers. If she gave you a cutting, it should've remained true to the parent stock. Unless she gave you a completely different plant and didn't know it! Anyway- I'm sure you're enjoying it!
The bloom on my brug first comes out white, but then changes to a salmon color

One last burn before Spring
It's going down to 35F in Baltimore tonight, a few days after the start of Spring.
I have probably the last fire of the season burning tonight.
Went thru 2 cords of wood this winter. It was cold but had almost no snow.
I picked up a nice bunch of wood yesterday that the Utility company cut down and left in piles by the side of the road. About 1/2 cord in large pieces that need to be split.
We'll be burning for about another month or so. But just not 24/7. Currently it's 15 degrees outside and the stove is doing it's thing. We went through about 2 1/2 cords this year. And a lot of people are buying truckloads (5 cords +/-) of log length wood. They cut it and stack it during the summer and fall so it's ready to go next year.
We only had one major snowstorm this year, (28 inches) but it snowed a lot in 6" depths all winter. We still have snowpiles in the yard and where it was plowed usually doesn't go away until late April or early May.
But we know spring is coming. The daffodills are up about 2 inches and we saw our first robin yesterday.

The actress got married for the second time in Hawaii to Rico Hines on Saturday, reports ESSENCE.com.
The ceremony was held at the Oasis Oceanfront Estate in Honolulu and was said to be "a dream come true" for both Arnold and Hines who announced their engagement this past March.
"Rico and I enjoyed our fist vacation in Hawaii so we knew that we wanted to legalize our love here," Arnold told ESSENCE at the time.
"However, we chose Honolulu instead of the romantic island of Maui as we knew our guests would have so many more entertaining options on this festive island."

Colonic pseudopolyps of a patient with intractable ulcerative colitis. Colectomy specimen.
Pseudopolyps are projecting masses of scar tissue that develop from granulation tissue during the healing phase in repeated cycle of ulceration (especially in inflammatory bowel disease). Inflammatory tissue without malignant potential,[1] pseudopolyps may, according to Joffe (1977), represent either regenerating mucosal islands between areas of ulceration, edematous polypoid tags or granulation tissue covered by epithelium. There are reported cases when localized giant pseudopolyposis resulted in intestinal obstruction.[2]
Residual mucosal islands between ulcerated and denuded areas of mucosa may have a polypoid appearance and are referred to as pseudopolyps.[3] Polyposis syndromes, such as familial adenomatous polyposis, could give rise to a similar appearance on imaging, although the clinical presentation would differ from that of inflammatory pseudopolyposis.[4]
Numerous, confluent ulcerations with bulging of the edematous residual mucosa determine a cobblestone appearance at endoscopy.[5][6]

Western Australia
Labor leader Mark McGowan launches WA election campaign
- From: AAP
- January 28, 2013
WEST Australian Labor leader Mark McGowan has officially launched his party's state election campaign declaring it a "referendum on priorities''.
Mr McGowan has been unofficially campaigning for the March 9 election for about a month, but today, he finally made the official announcement with his family by his side.
"I think the time for the phoney campaign is over. I think the time for the real campaign has now begun,'' he told reporters.
"It will be about who has the right priorities for the future of Western Australia.''
In a long speech to the media, Mr McGowan again labelled Premier Colin Barnett arrogant and out of touch, and criticised the government's focus on inner city projects.
"Mr Barnett's priorities and his instincts are all wrong,'' he said.
"His priorities revolve around the central business district in Perth and how many plaques he can get with his name on it in the centre of the city.''

Our special coverage of the closest race for years
Meet Malaysia's first female mixed martial artist
19 Nov 2011 15:04 GMT | Politics, Africa, US & Canada, Latin America, Afghanistan
NATO has formally announced the end of its military mission in Libya following a meeting of ambassadors from the alliance's 28 states in Brussels.
Friday's decision comes a day after the 15-nation United Nations Security Council unanimously voted to end the mandate that had authorised military action in Libya.
Alliance warplanes will cease operations on Monday after flying more than 26,000 sorties, and bombing almost 6,000 targets, in a seven-month operation that helped bring about the overthrow of Muammar Gaddafi, the former Libyan leader.
"We have fully complied with the historic mandate of the United Nations to protect the people of Libya, to enforce the no-fly zone and the arms embargo," Anders Fogh Rasmussen, NATO's secretary-general, said in a statement.
"Operation Unified Protector is one of the most successful in NATO history, We are concluding it in a considered and controlled manner because our military job is now done."
Live Box 201142012730683527
The mandate of Unified Protector, the name of NATO's operation, was to protect civilians and civilian-populated areas under attack or threat of attack. The alliance's operations in Libya had divided the UN, with Russia, China, Brazil, India and South Africa accusing the alliance of breaching the Security Council mandate.
Between now and Monday, NATO aircraft will continue to monitor the situation on the ground and, if needed, "respond to threats to civilians", Rasmussen said.
NATO decided to end the mission even though interim Libyan leader Mustafa Abdel Jalil asked for the alliance to stay until the end of the year, warning on Wednesday that Gaddafi loyalists still posed a threat.
Jalil's fears were heightened by reports that Gaddafi's former intelligence chief Abdullah al-Senussi, who fled Libya, had passed from Niger into Mali.
It was not known if Gaddafi's son Saif al-Islam was with him. Saif was earlier reported to be hiding in Niger after his father's death.
Arms proliferationAl Jazeera's Hashem Ahelbara, reporting from Tripoli, said Libya's new administration may seek international help in certain security matters, including the control of its borders.
"Libya has been asking about striking a new deal with NATO or with other allies such as Qatar and the UAE [United Arab Emirates] to help them build a new army and police force," Ahelbara said.
Live Box 20115613924415945
NATO officials said members of the alliance were free to give further security aid to Libya individually.
Officials pointed to comments from Qatar's top general, who said on Wednesday that Western countries had proposed setting up a new alliance headed by Qatar to support Libya after NATO ends its mission.
Thursday's UN resolution does not lift the arms embargo or other UN sanctions on Libya that have been in place for half a year. The resolution made clear that weapons were still a problem, voicing "concern at the proliferation of arms in Libya and its potential impact on regional peace and security".
A coalition led by the US, France and Britain launched the first salvos in the air war on March 19, before handing over command of the mission to NATO on March 31.
NATO allies have hailed the mission a success, with no casualties on their side and few civilian deaths, but cash-strapped governments have been eager to bring their planes home and focus on the bigger war in Afghanistan.

Linden layoffs put loan in peril
Published: Thursday, November 8, 2007 at 3:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, November 7, 2007 at 11:26 p.m.
Seven million dollars that the Marengo County Commission planned to lend to Linden Lumber could be in jeopardy after the company laid off more than 100 employees last week.
One of Marengo Countys largest private employers, Linden Lumber narrowly avoided foreclosure in September, in part because of the commissions commitment. Since then, the company has laid off at least 185 of its 425 employees.
The work force has been cut in half. It does not make sense to go forward with that much of a bond issue, if you go forward at all, said Commissioner Ken Tucker, who is the dean of accounting and business administration at the University of West Alabama.
With Linden Lumber facing a foreclosure deadline of Sept. 7, the commission intervened in August, conditionally approving a $5 million to $7 million loan that the company would use to restructure debts and buy new equipment. The county would acquire the money from a bond issue that would have been subject to company audits and loan restructuring agreements.
Tucker said he heard that 116 people were given pink slips Thursday afternoon, and The Demopolis Times reported in its Friday edition that the company laid off between 115 and 150 workers. Company officials did not return calls to the Demopolis paper last week, and a man who answered the work extension of company founder Don Overmeyer on Tuesday told a Tuscaloosa News reporter that she had the wrong number.
Tucker said Linden Lumber has a $50 million annual impact on the countys economy.
But with the latest layoffs, the commission will have to decide whether the loan is worth it.
When we went to bat for the company, it was to save 425 jobs. Now its down to about 200, Tucker said. We have to balance helping the company remain viable and saving those jobs versus making decisions that are in the taxpayers best interest.
The bailout agreement came after Federal Land Bank threatened to foreclose on the companys property. To prevent that, commissioners arranged a meeting in late August with company representatives, bank officials and representatives from Congressman Artur Davis office. Wachovia Bank agreed to take over Federal Land Banks portion of the companys debt, and the commission agreed to float the bond issue, provided certain conditions were met.
The commissions conditions included independent audits of the company and of the assets on which the county would be taking the mortgage. The commission also would have to approve the restructuring of loans with Wachovia and Federal Land banks.
The parties have continued to work on resolving the companys problems and had recently discussed how to restructure Wachovias debt in a way that would allow Linden Lumber to continue operations, Tucker said.
The conditions of the loan agreement have not been met, however. This is another reason, in addition to the layoffs, to reconsider the bond issue, Tucker said.
Based in the county seat of Linden, the company has faced problems stemming from the housing downturn, credit crunch and overseas competition, he said.
This bought them more time to continue to operate and find possible solutions to their dilemma, he said of the loan deal. There has to be a new and better business plan, a new way of business to help guarantee the jobs and the companys viability. If thats not going to happen, we dont want to expose the county to risk without reaching a comfort level that they will turn it around, continue to make money, retain jobs and move forward.

|Call for papers - new journal Derecho y Crítica Social
|The journal Derecho y Crítica Social [Law and Social Criticism] (DCS) has been created, with the aim of providing a platform for critical examination of the legal from the most diverse disciplinary perspectives. DCS is an international and multidisciplinary journal that is published in electronic format, and is subject to a strict policy of peer review. DCS will publish original articles in Spanish or English that are the result of original research, and Spanish translations of relevant articles previously published in other languages. However, it also seeks that thepapers published in it produce a reflection beyond the academic space about the social problems affecting Latin America. In particular, DCS is interested in identifying the role that law plays as a cause, condition or possible solution to these problems.
The editorial board of DCS invites submission of manuscripts for publication in the first volume of the journal, to be published during 2015. We welcome contributions from scholars with institutional membership and independent academics, as well as from university students. The call to publish in DCS is permanent and manuscripts can be sent at any time. This, however, does not guarantee publication in the next issue after the date of acceptance. As a suggestion, we recommend sending contributions until May 30 for inclusion in the first issue of the respective year and October 30 for inclusion in the second issue.
More information about the journal, its editorial board, the process of review and publication of articles, and detailed instructions for preparing manuscripts can be found on the website:www.derechoycriticasocial.com.

Two pairs of swing doors for closets?
Hi, everyone,
We are not big fans of bi-folds for closet doors, and wondered if we could put two pairs of double swing doors in our closets? To give an example, we have a bedroom closet that measures 7 feet interior with an opening of 5 feet 5 inches. We have two questions:
1) If we choose to do a pair of double doors, do we need to have door trim around each set of doors like posted below, or can we get away with less space and trim in between the two sets of doors? If a single 2x4 could be used, the minimum space between each set of doors would be approx. 2 and 1/2 inches; if two 2x4s had to be used, the space would be 4 inches.
The image below was kindly posted by Mileaday. It shows both sets of double doors with separate trim around each set of doors, but definitely more than the minimal space between them we are proposing.
2) Our second question concerns the optimal return on each side of the closet. Currently the way it was framed was to have 9 inches on each side of the door for a return. The original plan was to have bi-fold doors. However, if we move to swing doors, should we keep the 9 inch returns or reduce them. What size returns, if any, are optimal?
Thanks in advance for your input.
href="http://s965.photobucket.com/albums/ae134/mileaday/Closet%20Doors/?action=viewät=IMG_6458.jpg" target="_blank">
Thanks everybody for your input! Millworkman, we considered just one pair of double doors, but realized having the clearance in front of the doors would be an issue at times (as you mentioned, Kirkhall). Renovator8, we were hoping it would be possible to just put casing around the set of doors as a whole, rather than each door individually. If we did decide to go that route, should we put 2 2x4s in the middle to attach the middle two doors to, perhaps covered by a modified piece of trim? We are lucky that is has just been framed in, so can still make changes if needed to the openings. The framers are back this week to finish up.
Can anyone tell me what the optimal side return of closets should be in this case with a double set of swing doors. Presently it is framed with a 9" return on each side.
Thanks again for your comments.

As we move closer to Easter 2011 we can announce that Bedrock will return to the capital on its traditional Maundy Thursday date. John Digweed has once again curated a lineup featuring some of the finest artists currently in house and techno and to top it off Bedrock will be hosted for the very first time at one of London's best kept secrets, the outstanding Arcadia.
Located in the heart of South East London's thriving clubland and just minutes away from London Bridge, Arcadia holds similar traits to that of legendary London nightclubs such as Heaven, The Cross and The End. Recently refurbished, the impressive multi arched venue, combines exposed brickwork and a stark, warehouse-like interior with luxurious features. Add to this a state-of-the-art intelligent lighting, lasers and a ribcage rattling Nexo Geo sound system and you have the kind of intimate, underground venue that has been synonymous with Bedrock events over the last 12 years.
In the main room John Digweed will treat the Bedrock faithful to an extended five hour set and in a repeat of their outstanding Fabric show in December, will be joined by none other than Bedrock sensation Guy J. Guy will be launching his new album at Arcadia which is set for release on Bedrock Records in the coming weeks. Guy has been a Bedrock favourite for many years now, with an ability to combine ambient, techno and electronica, whilst constantly maintaining a melodic and highly emotive core. Expect a killer performance from the Israeli dance music juggernaut, especially if this recent mix of his is anything to go by!
In room 2 Bedrock will welcome a name that's been gaining significant attention amongst underground circles of late; Jozif. 2010 was a great year for the London based DJ and producer with releases on Wolf + Lamb and Vitalik and an RA podcast that goes down as one of the most talked about to date. After he and Fabric's Craig Richards launched Fist or Finger last year, a limited edition vinyl only label, the first release 'Beats In Space' became an instant sell out. Following a brilliant mix on John Digweed's 'Transitions' radio show, Jozif's success is set to continue in 2011 with his 'Sunrise' EP on InFine receiving rave reviews all round. Joining Jozif is the protégé to Jamie Jones and Lee Foss, Hot Creation's Robert James. His recent tracks 'Malibu' and "Sleep Moods' have been tearing up dance floors worldwide, whilst his latest productions as Pteradactil Disco with Jamie Jones, Lee Foss and FB Julian has received outstanding support. Picked by Pete Tong as the one to watch this year in Radio 1's 'In New Music We Trust', his diary is ready to burst. We're delighted to welcome Robert James to Bedrock and we're sure he will set Arcadia alight.
Needing absolutely no introduction to the Bedrock faithful is Nick Muir. As John Digweed's studio partner for many years, Nick's skills as a producer has been responsible for some of the most defining moments in electronic music. Many of his tracks are already regarded as classics, not to mention his mind-blowing remixes of New Order, Underworld and The Orb. In a rare set away from the studio, we're delighted to welcome Bedrock's second son, the inimitable Nick Muir to headline Room Three. Alongside Nick Bedrock welcomes one of the finest DJs to emerge from Russia in recent years, Denis A. His signature tough and dark progressive house interweaves with rhythmic techno to create a defined, unique sound. His passion for vinyl means that he constantly pumps dance floors with clean and powerful vibrations. As the owner of the DAR label, the host of popular radio show "The Diamonds of Dance Music" and a welcome guest at clubs such as Ibiza's Amnesia and Berlin's Tresor, Denis A is definitely one to watch.
Last remaining saver tickets are on sale now priced just £17.50 plus booking fee. These are limited and expected to sell out very quickly so don't hang about – get yours now before it's too late!

Natural Leaders Network Partners with U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service to Create a Pipeline of Jobs for Diverse Young Leaders
Children & Nature Network – May 28, 2014
By Juan Martinez
Minneapolis, MN May 27, 2014 – The Natural Leaders Network, a program of the Children & Nature Network, is proud to announce continued support from founding partner U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service to continue their work building a worldwide youth movement to strengthen the bond between people and nature.
Co-founded in 2008 with The North Face, and receiving additional support from the REI Foundation, the vision of the Natural Leaders Network is to empower diverse young leaders with the training and skills necessary to create lasting change in their communities to curb Nature-Deficit Disorder. Nature-Deficit disorder is the phrase coined by best-selling author Richard Louv to serve as a description of the human costs of today's alienation from nature. "The most effective future leaders of a new nature movement will come from the generation and the communities that face the most barriers to connecting with nature," said Louv, co-founder and chairman emeritus of the Children & Nature Network. "That doesn't mean that the rest of us should expect them to carry the full weight of leadership. It means that every person has a human right to experience and receive the gifts of the natural world."

Another goal of the Natural Leaders Network is to close the diversity gap in the outdoor field while challenging the status quo to become more culturally relevant. Passing down valuable skills and knowledge to the next generation is imperative to success of the movement, according to director of the Natural Leaders Network Juan Martinez, "One of the biggest challenges we're seeing in the conservation community is the increasing age and lack of diversity of employees in conservation organizations, and outdoor enthusiasts as a whole. Support from the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service highlights their leadership and commitment by helping to ensure a vibrant future of "nature-smart" leaders which will contribute to an increase in qualified candidates for future positions within the Service," said Martinez.
The centerpiece of the Natural Leaders Network is the Natural Leaders Legacy Camp. The Legacy Camp takes place at the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service's National Conservation Training Center in Shepherdstown, WV. Participants, ages 18-29, are selected through a competitive application process to attend the weeklong Legacy Camp. Participants receive intensive training and ongoing support to create lasting social changes in their communities to ensure that all children (and adults) experience the benefits of a meaningful, daily connection with the natural world. These emerging leaders are supported by the Natural Leaders staff and by each other in a peer-to-peer mentoring model to accomplish specific goals within their home communities.
Since its inception in 2008, the Natural Leaders Network has continued to expand their reach. This partnership will support expansion to 60 new communities, bringing the total number of communities reached to 150.
"The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is very excited to be partnering with the Natural Leaders Network to foster the development of the next generation of conservation leaders," said Nate Hawley, Career Awareness Branch Chief in the Division of Education Outreach at the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's National Conservation Training Center, "The Legacy Camp is the perfect stepping stone for a career in conservation, and we are looking forward to working with the Natural Leaders Network as they expand this program across the nation."
