The authors describe an intervention strategy that helps alienated and disengaged students bond to school through "making a contribution to the whole."
ASK ANY parent or teacher to name the strongest influence on children today, and the most frequent response will be "the peer group," an observation supported equally by popular culture and by scientific research.1 The psychological pull of groups with social status has been used to explain many forms of behavior. From poodle skirts in the 1950s to cigarette smoking and drug use today, from the urge to own "Beanie Babies" to the idolatry surrounding quarterbacks and movie stars to the terror in Littleton, Colorado, we can observe many examples of this pull to conform and belong to a peer group.
We often hear parents and educators commiserating with one another about their inability to fight this force. How many parents or teachers have thrown up their hands at the latest song lyrics, the content of television programs, or the dress of the newest rock or rap group? The tragedy of the Columbine High School killings demonstrates beyond any question that negative peer interactions can lead to heinous consequences.
Peer pressure, television, Hollywood, parenting, video games, and the education establishment have all been blamed at one time or another for influencing - or failing to influence - children's attitudes, beliefs, and behaviors across a wide spectrum of issues from classroom cheating to drug abuse and school violence. Once the particular problems have been identified, the corrective interventions selected by school authorities are typically remedial, working with students who have already exhibited problems or with those who fit one diagnostic profile or another.
These children, who are deemed to be at risk, have a higher chance of failure in school and in life than do other children. Many programs have been developed across the nation to build resiliency in such children. Although the intentions of these programs have been honorable, many have remained unsuccessful. For example, data collected from the Add Health project, a nationwide study of children at risk, imply that prevention programs fail because they are not based on theory, are not research based, use one-dimensional strategies, and focus on problem reduction rather than on enhancement of human development.2
An alternative intervention strategy, called Positive Peer Groups (PPG), has operated for the last nine years in grades 5-9 in both public and parochial school settings throughout northeastern Ohio. An outgrowth of the work of Donald Wonderly,3 the PPG model was designed and is currently being implemented by the Prevention Initiatives Division of PSI (Prevention, Systems Intervention) Affiliates, Inc., a private consortium of psychologists, educators, and prevention specialists who work in partnership with Michael Voinovich, director of government programs for the Cleveland Catholic Diocese. PSI was founded to deliver a research-based, multi-tiered program of teacher, parent, and staff training, Steven L. Rosenberg, Loren M. McKeon

We won't go into most of them here, but the revamped London member's club is carving a fresh niche for itself as one of the capital's leading art exhibitors. Right now, for example, they're showcasing the acclaimed "artist to the stars" Paul Mellia. The Essex-born 55-year-old has achieved world renown for his pop art superhero characters. Indeed, he's the only artist officially licensed by Marvel to copy its characters. His inspirations stretch beyond comic books, however, taking in a broad range of popular culture figures and the darker side of human nature. His bawdy, provocative (and often 3D) works have ensured Mellia's status as one of the world's fastest selling artists and seen him gain commissions from folk as diverse as Banksy and Princess Diana.Mellia's Ka-Pow! A Hero's Exhibition at the Playboy Club runs until 7 May and afford a rare opportunity to see icons like Superman and Catwoman nestle alongside David Bowie and Ava Gardner in a way that you'll have never seen before.

St. Bonaventure, NY (SportsNetwork.com) - Led by 27 points and eight rebounds from Langston Galloway, the St. Joseph's Hawks took down the St. Bonaventure Bonnies, 83-74, in an Atlantic 10 Conference battle at the Reilly Center.
DeAndre Bembry added 18 points for the Hawks (21-7, 11-3 A-10), who have won their last six games. Ronald Roberts scored 15 points, Isaiah Miles finished with 11 points and Halil Kanacevic swatted five blocks in the win.
Losers of three in a row, the Bonnies (16-13, 6-9) were led by Matthew Wright with 27 points, while Marquise Simmons finished with 13 points, Charlon Kloof chipped in with 11 points and five assists, and Youssou Ndoye scored 10.
St Joseph's shot 46.4 percent from the field, including 6-of-15 from 3-point range, as the Hawks took a 40-35 lead at halftime. St. Bonaventure hit on 45.2 percent from the field but only 2-of-5 from beyond the arc in the first half.
After the break, the Hawks had the hot hand, knocking down a scorching 63.6 percent of their field goal tries. The Bonnies struggled from the field after intermission, making just 40 percent of their shots from the field, including 2-of-8 from deep. The Bonnies opened the second half on a 10-4 run to take the lead early in the period. Down 47-46 with five minutes gone in the half, the Hawks scored eight straight points and never trailed again, as they hung on for the victory and continued their strong play.
The Hawks had the decided advantage on the perimeter, outscoring the Bonnies 24-12 from 3-point distance. The Hawks also outrebounded the Bonnies, 33-27.

Smaller Players Filling NAC Void
Smaller Players Filling NAC Void

Posted 2006-02-13
The RSA Conference could serve as a launching point for rapid adoption of endpoint security products by enterprises in the coming year, experts say.
Security products that perform health checks on desktop and laptop computers will be in abundance at this weeks RSA Conference. But industry leaders Cisco Systems and Microsoft remain mum about a long-promised integration of their dominant network access control architectures, leaving IT managers wondering whether to go with one of the solutions that is already available or wait for an integrated offering that may never come. Security industry mainstays and startups alike will unveil new NAC products and show off updates at the RSA Conference in San Jose, Calif. The show could serve as a launching point for rapid adoption of endpoint security products by enterprises in the coming year, experts say.
Sonnenschein Nath & Rosenthal, a Chicago-based law firm, is one of those companies, according to Adam Hansen, the firms security manager.
Sonnenschein plans to deploy
Ciscos Network Admission Control technology
to help secure the firms network against attacks from mobile laptops connected to the firms network by visitors, according to Hansen. The firm uses both Cisco and Microsoft products, but Hansen said that pressure from partners at the firm meant he couldnt wait for Microsoft to release Vista, which is slated to include NAP (Network Access Protection) technology, and that Cisco, of San Jose, Calif., has a more comprehensive endpoint security solution than other stand-alone vendors. "I hated picking one camp or the other, but you gotta go with what you know. ... NAC is real," he said.

to read more about Microsofts plans to include NAP technology in Vista.
Executives at Cisco and Microsoft still have little to say about how their endpoint security architectures will work together, almost 14 months after they pledged to cooperate. "Everybodys heads are down, and were working on collaboration," said Mike Schutz, group product manager in Microsofts Security and Access Product Management group in Redmond, Wash. "Both companies feel like were on track, but theres nothing new to report." In an interview with eWEEK, Jayshree Ullal, Ciscos senior vice president of Data Center, Switching, Security Technology and Application Networking Services, said the company had done internal testing of NAC technology with Microsoft and agreed to use a single client and the 802.11x protocol for policy enforcement. Beyond that, Cisco will wait until Vista ships to announce more plans, he said. In the meantime, a slew of companies have jumped into the void created by Cisco and Microsoft and plan to use the stage at RSA to highlight their wares. Most notably, the Trusted Computing Group plans to demonstrate new capabilities for its standards-based NAC architecture, called TNC (Trusted Network Connect), at RSA, said Brian Berger, marketing chairman of TCG, in Portland, Ore. TCG will demonstrate machines using its secure chip, the TPM (Trusted Platform Module) connecting to the TNC architecture, according to Berger. "This is [TCGs] secret sauce," said Steve Hanna, a distinguished engineer at Juniper Networks and a TCG executive, in Sunnyvale, Calif. "We have the ability to integrate with trusted hardware on the client and detect and foil rootkits." McAfee plans to announce its Policy Enforcer 1.0, an NAC solution that uses the companys existing desktop security agent and ePolicy Orchestrator network policy management platform and Foundstone vulnerability scanning technology, said Chris Kenworthy, senior vice president at McAfee, in Santa Clara, Calif. Enforcer uses a new managed agent that is integrated with McAfees existing desktop agent and a sensor that works with DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) servers to permit or deny network access based on the outcome of client health checks by Policy Enforcer, company officials said. Policy Enforcer leverages McAfees installed base of 40 million managed corporate desktops and offers an alternative to Ciscos NAC, which requires companies to rely entirely on recent vintage networking equipment from that company, McAfee executives said. Continental Airlines, which has McAfee VirusScan 8.01 deployed on corporate desktops, plans to use Policy Enforcer, said Andre Gold, director of information security at Continental, based in Houston. Continental is a heavy user of Ciscos networking gear but uses products from other vendors, too, which makes using Ciscos NAC impossible, Gold said.
Larry Seltzer says some form of network access control needs to be at least in the works for any large network, and administrators should insist on standards compliance.

ConSentry Networks is another NAC player banking on the need for cross-platform solutions. The company plans to unveil a new version of its LANShield product that uses Check Point Software Technologies Integrity Clientless Security technology to integrate endpoint security agents for Ciscos NAC, Microsofts NAP and TCGs TNC specification. Security companies are responding to strong demand from enterprise customers for technology that can help them comply with new federal and state regulations and to counter the threat posed by mobile and remote workers, said John Oltsik of Enterprise Strategy Group, in Milford, Mass. "IT administrators want to know what users are doingwhat device is coming onto the network and where its coming from," Oltsik said.

text: on Oct 18, 2013 @ 8:46 PMOct 18, 2013 @ 8:46 PM PublishedFootball: United's Van Persie a doubt to face SaintsManchester United manager David Moyes has revealed star striker Robin van Persie is a doubt for Saturday's Premier League clash against Southampton.Van Persie suffered a calf injury while in action for Holland against Turkey in midweek after previously suffering a toe problem before the international break and he is not certain to recover in time for the champions' meeting with in-form Saints at Old Trafford."We have a few with knocks," Moyes told MUTV. "The one we are more worried about is Robin van Persie."He got a kick on the calf and he came off in the second game (against Turkey). He has had problems with his toes as well. We will see how he is."Meanwhile, United's England players will return to club duty with a spring in their step after the national team secured qualification for next year's World Cup, but Old Trafford has not been a happy place in recent weeks.With only two wins in their last six games, Moyes's side trail early leaders Arsenal by six points and in Southampton they face a team who have climbed to fourth place following a run of three straight victories.A brace from teenage winger Adnan Januzaj gave United a 2-1 win at Sunderland in their last outing but Southampton are likely to present formidable opposition, having gone four games without conceding a goal.Saints captain Adam Lallana has given Argentine manager Mauricio Pochettino the credit for their fine start to the campaign."We've had a full pre-season under him to get his tactics and methods across," Lallana told local newspaper the Daily Echo. "You're starting to see all the rewards of our hard work under the manager."The top five clubs are in action on Saturday, with Arsenal hosting Norwich City, second-placed Liverpool visiting Newcastle United, third-placed Chelsea facing Cardiff City and Manchester City, who go into the weekend in fifth, travelling to West Ham United.Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers, whose side won 6-0 in the corresponding fixture against Newcastle last season, has revealed that he will have Glen Johnson, Joe Allen and Aly Cissokho available for selection again after injury for the trip to St James' Park.Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger, meanwhile, says that club-record signing Mesut Ozil will undergo a fitness test on Friday after hurting his knee on international duty with Germany."He is alright. He came back with a knock on the knee but it was just a kick," the Frenchman said."We'll have a test (Friday) to see if he is fit enough for Saturday or not."Gus Poyet will take charge of his first match as a Premier League manager when bottom club Sunderland visit Swansea City.The former Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur midfielder was appointed successor to the sacked Paolo Di Canio prior to the international break.Poyet praised Swansea in regional newspaper the Sunderland Echo but said they had only one focus."At the moment though, it doesn't matter too much who we play, or where. Our position means that we need to go out looking for a win," he said.West Ham manager Sam Allardyce has attempted to calm the excitement around young midfielder Ravel Morrison, who scored a fine solo goal in a 3-0 win at Tottenham before netting twice for England Under-21s."I have to be careful with the amount of publicity that Rav gets," Allardyce said ahead of the visit of City."They can have their ups and downs, they burst onto the scene, they can get lavished with praise and then lose their focus and, when they lose their focus, they can dip away again, and I don't really want that."Tottenham visit Aston Villa on Sunday while Monday's fixture is a London derby between Crystal Palace and Fulham.FixturesSaturday (1400GMT unless otherwise stated):Arsenal v Norwich City, Chelsea v Cardiff City, Everton v Hull City, Manchester United v Southampton, Newcastle United v Liverpool (1145GMT), Stoke City v West Bromwich Albion, Swansea City v Sunderland, West Ham United v Manchester City (1630GMT)Sunday (1500GMT):Aston Villa v Tottenham HotspurMonday (1900GMT):Crystal Palace v Fulhamthw-smg/bc

When it was signed following the 2008 season, Mark Teixeira's eight-year, $180 million deal with the Yankees was the third biggest in MLB history and largest to go to someone not named Alex Rodriguez. Now it rivals Rodriguez's as one of the worst in baseball.
With the news Wednesday that Teixeira would undergo wrist surgery, the 33-year-old first baseman ends his fifth season with the Yankees having played in just 15 games and hitting .151. The Yankees are still on the hook for another three years and $67.5 million after paying him $22.5 million this season.
If it were just the wrist injury, there'd be better reason for hope that Teixeira could come back and be a quality regular, if not an All-Star, next year. But he already seemed to be in obvious decline before 2013. Here are his OPSs and OPS+s since 2007.
2007: .963 – 149 – Rangers/Braves
2008: .962 – 152 – Braves/Angels
2009: .948 – 141 – Yankees
2010: .846 – 124 – Yankees
2011: .835 – 121 – Yankees
2012: .807 – 116 – Yankees
The Yankees would surely take it if Teixeira could come back and be a 120 OPS+ first baseman in the last three years of his deal. He wouldn't be worth nearly $22.5 million per year in that scenario, but that'd still make him an above average regular at first base.
It's probably overly optimistic, though. While Jose Bautista has come back and produced since returning from a similar tendon sheath surgery, he hasn't been nearly what he was in the two years before he got hurt. He was also a couple of years younger than Teixeira will be. Mark DeRosa's wrist problems ended his career as a regular. Nomar Garciaparra came back and had his moments, but he was never the same quality of player after Al Reyes hit him in the wrist.
So, the Yankees should be very worried. That they'll be overpaying Teixeira and Rodriguez going forward is a given. Maybe CC Sabathia, too. But as long as those guys are reasonably productive, then the Yankees should continue to contend. If those players become liabilities on the field as well as in the budget, that's the recipe for disaster.

Port Authority Denies Sandy Damage Will Delay Completion Of World Trade Center Transpo Hub
Wednesday, February 13, 2013
By Jim O'Grady
(New York, NY - WNYC) Pulses were sent racing today when it was apparently revealed that the World Trade Center transportation hub, already years behind schedule, had suffered another setback because of Sandy.
Cheryl McKissack Daniel, a consultant for the $3.8 billion project, told the New York Times that water damage had significantly pushed back the hub's completion date of 2015.
"And now, after Sandy, that added another year and a half to the whole project," she said. "Everything was flooded — everything was new and flooded. And all of that had to be replaced because it's all electrical work."
Not so, say spokesmen for the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey and the Tishman Construction Corporation, which has a major hand in building the hub. It was designed by star architect Santiago Calatrava.
"The anticipated completion date for the World Trade Center transportation hub remains 2015," said the Port Authority's Anthony Hayes. Tishman spokesman Brendan Ranson-Walsh echoed the sentiment in an emailed statement:
"Ms. McKissack Daniel incorrectly informed The NY Times about the completion date of the WTC Transportation Hub. Per the Port Authority of NY and NJ, which is overseeing the project, the anticipated completion date of the Hub is 2015. No change in date has been announced by the Port Authority."
Hayes said further that no part of construction at the World Trade Center has been delayed by Sandy, even though the site was inundated with millions of gallons of water. "There has been no impact because of Sandy in terms of completion times at the World Trade Center," he said.

Officials: As Construction Site, World Trade Center Vulnerable To Floods
Wednesday, February 06, 2013
By Jim O'Grady
(New York, NY - WNYC) A Port Authority of New York and New Jersey official says a built-out World Trade Center site will be less vulnerable to future storms like Sandy once construction is done by 2020. But the authority hasn't decided what to do in the meantime to protect the site from rising tides.
Construction sites that include open pits, as does the 16-acre World Trade Center site, are vulnerable to flooding. And much of the site is built on landfill where the Hudson River once flowed--and would flow again if not for retaining walls.
But Port Authority executive director Pat Foye wouldn't elaborate on what steps could be taken to protect the site from flooding while under construction, and harden the site once construction is done in an age of climate change and rising sea levels.
"Port Authority people and outside experts are looking at how to make the site more resilient," Foye said. He wouldn't give details about possible mitigation efforts beyond saying, "The review continues."
Foye estimated it will cost $2 billion to repair storm damage to the World Trade Center, along with the rest of the authority's facilities, including airports, bridges and tunnels. Foye said $800 million alone is needed to fix the PATH train system, which only recently returned some of its lines to a pre-Sandy schedule.
Foye said insurance reimbursements and FEMA payments should cover those costs."There will be no material impact on the budget," he said.
Still under construction in Lower Manhattan is One World Trade Center, which carries a price tag of $3.8 billion, making it the world's most expensive new office tower. To offset the costs of the 1,776-foot skyscraper, the authority last year levied higher bridge and tunnel tolls and reduced spending on transportation infrastructure.
One World Trade Center is scheduled to be done by early next year. But some part of the larger World Trade Center site will be under construction, and vulnerable to flooding, for at least the next eight years.

PATH Service Restored Between Hoboken-World Trade Center
Tuesday, January 29, 2013
By Kate Hinds
For the first time since Sandy struck the Northeast 13 weeks ago, PATH trains will roll once again between Hoboken and the World Trade Center.
Governors Christie and Cuomo announced service between the two hubs will be restored in time for the Wednesday morning commute.
This marks the first time PATH service will return to its normal weekday schedule since Sandy. The PATH system suffered $700 million worth of damage during the storm (PDF), and the Hoboken station was particularly hard hit. It took seven weeks just to open the station, and partial overnight service was restored on January 9th. Meanwhile, NJ Transit just reopened the Hoboken Terminal waiting room Monday.

PATH Service To Hoboken To Resume Wednesday
Tuesday, December 18, 2012
One of the longest running service outages caused by storm Sandy is about to end.
PATH train commuter service is about to resume to Hoboken, NJ, the Port Authority said in a tweet: "PATH's Hoboken-33 service resumes Wednesday 12-19-12 at 5 a.m. and operates every day from 5 a.m. – 10 p.m."
But there will be no direct service from Hoboken to the World Trade Center, and the Port Authority says that remains "several weeks away."
Some 29,000 riders use the Hoboken station every day. They've been without service to Manhattan for almost eight weeks.
PATH tunnels were among the most severely hit during Sandy, with water filling five miles of tubes.
According a Port Authority press release, the "announcement means weekday service between 5 a.m. and 10 p.m. will be back at all 13 PATH stations and on three of PATH's four regular lines: Journal Square to 33rd Street, Hoboken to 33rd Street and Newark to the World Trade Center".
The Port Authority says critical equipment was damaged, but has offered few details on what was damaged, or what was entailed in restoring the service.
PATH says it will restore limited 24 hour service in time for New Year's Eve.
Many commuters take New Jersey Transit trains to Hoboken and transfer to the PATH. NJ Transit is operating curtailed service to Hoboken because of a damaged electrical substation. The agency tells TN that PATH service restoration will not lead to more NJ Transit service to Hoboken.

Port Authority Board Gets an Earful from Public Over 9/11 Memorial, Community Relations
Thursday, September 20, 2012
By Bob Hennelly
(New York, NY -- WNYC) The day after the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey released a consultant's report lauding the agency's newfound zeal for transparency and accountability, the public showed up at the agency's monthly Board of Commissioners meeting with a very different assessment.
It was a full house.
A contingent of 9/11 family members used the public comment period to urge the Commissioners to reject a Memorandum of Understanding entered into last week between the bi-state agency and the National September 11th Memorial and Museum. The deal, reached a day before the eleventh anniversary of the terror attacks, cleared the way for work to resume. Construction at the site had halted last year after a funding squabble.
Sally Regenhard, who lost her firefighter son on September 11th, took the Port Authority to task for not sufficiently involving the 9/11 families in the process. "Do not approve this MOU until we can have full public disclosure involving the 9/11 families as well as the community."
Richard Hughes of the Twin Towers Alliance told the panel it was being expedient with their deal with the Memorial and Museum that calls for passing ownership of the former site of the Twin Towers to the non-profit in exchange for adjacent land where the Deutsche Bank building once stood.
"You have eight acres of prime important downtown real estate -- a site that is sacred to all of us -- and you are giving it away or swapping it, but it is really giving it away, without public debate, behind closed doors," Hughes said.
Under the agency's public comment period protocol, Commissioners don't respond directly to the public. But speaking to reporters afterwards, officials defended the deal as breaking a lengthy impasse and insuring the project stays on budget while guaranteeing the site remains a memorial.
Of particular concern to family members at the hearing were the plans to place several thousand of the unidentified remains from the attack in the museum. Boosters of that plan say it will permit work to continue on identifying the remains. The 9/11 families want the surviving families to be polled.
The full board approved the MOU over their objections -- but after the vote, Port Authority executive director Patrick Foye reminded reporters the agency had lost 84 employees in the attack. He said he understood the families' concerns about the remains. "Given the grievous loss those family members experienced that is an issue that resonates with me," Foye said.
But it isn't only how the Port has handled Ground Zero that had members of the public fuming.
Casandra Dock came with residents of of the city of Newark. She chastised the Commissioners for not holding public meetings of the board west of the Hudson in New Jersey.
"I come before this board today -- since this is the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey -- to ask this board to have some of these board meetings over in Newark, New Jersey," Dock said.
In the board's brief public meeting it did move on some items without controversy. John F. Kennedy International Airport will host a animal handling facility that the Port Authority says will be the most comprehensive facility of its kind in the nation. The board also approved the deal with ARK Development LLC to convert a vacant building at JFK into what Foye says will be a state-of-the-art facility that will handle everything from household pets to horses.
"And this facility will provide animal daycare and kenneling services, more efficient animal transport services--a full service veterinary hospital. The facility is expected to serve approximately 70,000 wild and domestic animals a year,"Foye said.
The deal will net the agency more than $100 million dollars in rent over the next 20 years.
The Port also funded a study looking at the feasibility of taking over Atlantic City International Airport. It will also take a look at running its existing PATH train from where it currently ends -- in Newark Penn Station -- out to Newark Liberty Airport.
The latest board actions come as the agency grapples with how to fund some $44 billion dollars in upgrades it says the region's transportation infrastructure will need by 2020.

Deal on 9/11 Museum Reduces -- But Doesn't Eliminate -- Port Authority's Financial Exposure
Wednesday, September 12, 2012
Just 13 hours before the commemoration of the September 11th attacks was to begin, Mayor Bloomberg and the governors of New York and New Jersey announced they had resolved their disagreement over who owed whom what for building of the museum on the World Trade Center site.
The authority owns the site and is managing construction of the museum for a private foundation. In December, it stopped work because it said it was owed tens of millions of dollars on the project. This agreement will restart the project -- but it won't help the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey recoup all of its losses. But, says WNYC reporter Bob Hennelly, it outlines steps to prevent even deeper losses in the future.

Many New York City schools will take the opportunity to examine the 9/11 attacks in the classroom today. Most students were too young to fully remember the events of the day.

Monday, September 10, 2012
By Jim O'Grady
Some family members of the victims of the September 11 attacks are angry that The National September 11 Memorial Museum will not have its planned opening on Tuesday, the 11th anniversary of the attacks. Construction of the building has been halted since last December, when a multi-million dollar dispute broke out between the museum and the Port Authority, the site's owner.

TraceCSO identifies and prioritizes risk to an organizations information including network vulnerabilities and identifies, implements and audits security controls. To help organizations stay current with the latest regulatory mandates specific to their industry, TraceCSO leverages a global database of hundreds of authorities and more than 25,000 regulations and citations.
TraceCSOs wizards guide the system set up of adding users and departments, defining permissions and roles, coordinating network scanning, and selecting authority documents. TraceCSOs Risk Assessment the cornerstone for setting up and managing the risk-based information security program identifies asset threats and controls to mitigate risk, and assigns TraceSecuritys proprietary Risk Score.
The Risk Score allows an organization to measure and report on mitigation effectiveness, set benchmarks, and analyze trends ultimately leading to better risk-based decisions and optimized information security allocations.
TraceCSO also identifies existing ineffective or unnecessary controls and recommends the most effective replacements.
Once controls are identified, TraceCSO maps them to a database of more than 25,000 authorities, citations and regulations. This enables the organization to determine industry-specific compliance and allows for a best practice risk-based information security program that organically leads to compliance and eliminates the laborious compliance reporting process.
Finally, information determined during the Risk Assessment filters and pre-populates all functional areas of TraceCSO, making the organizations information risk and compliance profile more visible, more accessible, more manageable and more valuable than ever.

Please replace the release dated January 24, 2013 with the following corrected version due to multiple revisions.
The corrected release reads:
The worldwide mobile phone market grew 1.9% year over year in the fourth quarter of 2012 (4Q12), as strong holiday smartphone sales raised shipments of these devices to levels nearly equal to those of feature phones. According to the International Data Corporation (IDC) Worldwide Quarterly Mobile Phone Tracker, vendors shipped a total of 482.5 million mobile phones in 4Q12 compared to 473.4 million units in the fourth quarter of 2011. For the full year, the global market for mobile phones grew 1.2% on shipments of more than 1.7 billion units.
In the worldwide smartphone market, vendors shipped 219.4 million units in 4Q12, which represents 45.5% of all mobile phone shipments, the highest percentage ever. The 36.4% year-over-year growth was slightly below IDC's forecast of 39.5% for the quarter. On an annual basis, 712.6 million smartphones were shipped globally in 2012, which was 44.1% more than in 2011.
"The high-growth smartphone market, though dominated by Samsung and Apple, still presents ample opportunities for challengers," said Kevin Restivo, senior research analyst with IDC's Worldwide Quarterly Mobile Phone Tracker. "Vendors with unique market advantages, such as lower-cost devices, can rapidly gain market share, especially in emerging markets. A good example is Huawei, which overtook LG as a Top 5 vendor in the overall mobile phone market and passed HTC to become a Top 5 smartphone vendor."
"The fact that Huawei and ZTE now find themselves among the Top 5 smartphone vendors marks a significant shift for the global market," noted Ramon Llamas, research manager with IDC's Mobile Phone team. "Both companies have grown volumes by focusing on the mass market, but in recent quarters they have turned their attention toward higher-end devices. In addition, both companies have pushed the envelope in terms of industrial design with larger displays and smaller form factors, as well as innovative applications and experiences."
Smartphone Vendor Highlights
Samsung set a new record for the number of smartphones shipped in a single quarter and in a single year. Its broad and deep line-up of Android smartphones, particularly the Galaxy-branded Android family, combined with sustained demand for its mid-range and entry-level models to account for the remarkable shipment volumes. 2013 is shaping up to be a pivotal year for the company as its Tizen smartphone strategy takes shape. Samsung will continue to rely on Android as its primary operating system, however, as the move to Tizen will not likely take place overnight.
Apple's record iPhone shipments in the quarter were driven by successes in Greater China, where shipments more than doubled, as well as the U.S., where 6.2 million iPhones were activated on Verizon alone. Interestingly, the company's success was due in large part to older models, in particular the iPhone 4, which Apple couldn't make enough of in the quarter relative to demand. Its sales success with the older model could portend success in higher-growth emerging markets where the company has performed well.
Huawei suddenly finds itself among the top three smartphone vendors in the world, a first for the company. The company had previously been a Top 10 vendor. To reach this milestone, Huawei has courted both the mass market with its simple and inexpensive smartphones and the high-end of the market with its Ascend-branded product line. Along the way, the company has demonstrated its innovative skills, having released the world's thinnest (6.68 mm) smartphone last year, the Ascend P1S, and this year it announced the upcoming Ascend Mate, the first smartphone with a 6.1-inch display. At the same time, Huawei has brought its own software innovations, including Magic Touch, Guiding Wizard, Smart Reading, and Floating Windows.
Sony's strategy for becoming the worldwide leader in mobile entertainment combined with its growing portfolio of high-end smartphones drove its smartphone volumes higher throughout the year. This marks a significant improvement since Sony acquired Ericsson's stake in 2011 in the Sony Ericsson joint venture. Sony introduced its Xperia TL last quarter and recently announced the addition of the Xperia Z and the Xperia ZL, to be launched in 1Q13.
ZTE maintained its spot among the Top 5 smartphone vendors globally thanks to continued international diversification efforts last quarter. The vendor also shipped more smartphones than feature phones for the first time. ZTE has grown its smartphone sales of late thanks primarily to an uptick in lower-cost smartphone sales in many emerging markets. The company has traditionally relied on sales of phones to China, where the company is based. Notable progress has been made in developed markets too.
