iPod/iBook G4 problems
I wonder if a day will ever come where I have no issues with my iPod 10GB and/or my iBook G4 933mhz/14". The latest round is this:
My iPod (which, by the way, is the 2nd one I've had, since Apple replaced the original because it wouldn't finish a sync) once again will not sync with iTunes, and instead locks up iTunes and the iPod. I turned my iPod on yesterday and voila! All of my songs and playlists were gone. I then tried to do a restore using the restore tool. That locked up my computer the 1st time, then finally worked the 2nd. Syncing, as I said before, doesn't happen. It will copy a few songs then just stop working. I'm using FireWire by the way. Also, the battery drains at such a rapid pace -- I charged it overnight and the battery is already half-dead this morning right after I took it off the charger! Ahhh! The replacement iPod is only 3 months old, and the original I got for Christmas 2003.
Now we come to my iBook. I'm hoping that the extreme sluggishness, frequent lockups, slow app loading, graphical glitches, etc. are due to me only having 256mb ram and running quite a few apps under 10.3 Panther. I've got an Airport Extreme card, yet half of the time my wireless network can't be connected to and instead I get a vague "error connecting to linksys" (not verbatim) error message. A few times I've started the computer only to have it lock up as soon as I log in. Other times, the power button wont turn it on. The iBook is only 1 1/2 months old. That's right.
All I have to say is "What the h*ll apple?" I am so fed up with Apple's products. For the record, I have had an iMac Blueberry (Revision 1.5), and another iBook (the generation with the logic board problems; that one had every single component replaced due to failure, includeing the screen, keyboard, logicboard, etc.). I officially have sent every single Apple product I've ever owned in for support at least once. The real shame is that I know when I call support today, I'll end up talking to at least 4 people, all of whom will make me go thru the same exact preliminary steps to try and fix my problems, instead of communicating to each other and making progress on the repairs, and at least one of whom will have such a heavy foreign accent I won't be able to understand anything they say. I was a single click away from having a new PC shipped to my house. To say I'm irate and sick of this asinine hogwash would be an understatement.

Hope that vent off helps you feel better. I know sometimes it gets very annoying to not be able to get even the simplest things done no matter what type of a computer you have.
I have a new iPod/iBook combo, too. Luckly, I haven't had any hardware problems. The only time my iPod wouldn't sync any songs was when I used AIM with a different account than the one I use for iTunes. The thing just would not sync any of my songs or play lists. I have tried everything including resetting the iPod. Finally when I clicked to play a song in iTunes it told me that I wasn't authorized. So, I change my AIM/iTunes login back and everything works.
I also have Airport in my iBook and had few if any problems/crashes. I do have my RAM maxed out, though. I noticed that running a few apps with OS 10.3.3 takes up more than 400 MB of RAM. So, a RAM upgrade might be wise. I also have brand new WinXP PCs at my work, but I much rather work on my iBook.
Hope you get your problems resolved.

1. rename the SSID to something unique to you.
2. TURN OFF SSID Broadcasting
3. Make a location in OS X and on turn off all ports BUT the AirPort. Go to the AirPort tab and tell it to JOIN a specific network and put in ur SSID.
First of all this is a much more secure way to keep people from accidentally or purposefully using your wireless network, and it will also ensure you hit your network and not someone else's.
Just a thought.
Let us know if that helps!

I have had the SAME EXACT symptomes on my iPod which was replaced 2 times. (This one is my third one. The first two replacements made funny noises and I just sent them right back.) This whole replacement thing took more than two months to sort out. - IS APPLE slacking off on QUAILTY control? The iPodS they sent were faulty!!! I rely on music so the 2 month wait was horrible because I had to go back to CDs.

Thanks for all of your replies. I just got off the phone with Apple "Support" "specialists" -- only had to talk to one this time which was surprising. They don't know what's wrong with my iPod, and of course, I got shuffled thru the standard.. reset.. sync.. reformat.. sync... bla bla bla. As for the iBook, he disabled my StartupItems, then closed my support ticket. It's still sluggish and freezes. Great. I'm buying a freaking PC.
|May 20, 2004, 10:05 AM
UPDATE: It's official. My iPod is getting replaced by Apple. I'll soon have my THIRD!!! iPod from them. This is such bs. 5 months, 3 iPods. Come on, Apple. Seriously. I talked to the "support" guy and the hard drive is officially busted. Why? Who knows.
Now for the iBook.. Still slow, still locking up.. Grrr

Switched off CNN, crushed the remote in my hand
from Abu Nurah – My Jihad Lyrics on Genius
The media (the likes of CNN, FOX, MSNBC, ETC) are filled with bias, misinformation, and an agenda.

(Listen to the end for a 'bonus' resolution)
The holiday season generally puts increased demands on everyone. How do you have less stress and more fun during the holidays? Here are 8 ways to reduce your stress this holiday season.
1. Make the holidays about presence not presents. Avoid getting caught in the message that expensive gifts are a sign of love. Remember, your undivided attention and caring presence is your greatest gift to your loved ones. Create a memorable holiday by spending time with the people you care about. Never underestimate or diminish the lasting gift of your heart's love.
2. Define what is important to you this holiday season. Unrealistic and high expectations promoted by advertisers can undermine the possibilities for happiness during the holidays. Your relationships, parties, dinners and gifts may never measure up to the perfection portrayed by the media. So, be realistic and make your holidays uniquely your own. Identify what you truly value during the holidays and create a celebration around what matters most to you. Avoid judging your holiday based on a magazine image.
3. Take care of yourself one day at a time. Drink plenty of water. Start a holiday tradition of walking with a friend or family member or participate in some other form of regular exercise. Deep breathe during your day and especially when you feel rushed or stressed. Listen to relaxing music. Avoid overdoing the sweets and alcohol. Keep healthy snacks, like fruit or nuts, nearby.
4. Rest in order to enjoy. If you are going shopping or attending holiday events that you know will tire you, make time for a nap or get to bed a little early. If you are doing added cooking and cleaning, remember to take extra time to rest and relax. If you are tired, you are not going to enjoy even pleasurable activities.
5. Pace yourself and delegate whenever possible. Make a conscious choice about the number of and which holiday activities you want to participate in. Trying to "do it all" can be exhausting. Be willing to say "no" and also share the shopping, cooking, cleaning, and added responsibilities with others whenever you can. Remember less can be more!
6. Norman Rockwell moments mostly happen in paintings...
Here's a great reason to remember to turn your clocks back and sleep in an extra hour this weekend: it may be good for your heart.
More than 1.5 billion people reset their clocks every year, turning clocks backward by an hour in the fall and forward by an hour in the spring. These transitions can disrupt internal biologic rhythms and influence the duration and quality of sleep. But does losing or gaining that one hour have health consequences? A 2008 report in the New England Journal of Medicine by Dr. Janszky and colleagues suggests that it does. The authors showed that there is a significant increase in the daily rate of heart attack in the first few days after we "spring ahead" and get an hour less of sleep, but that in the first few days after we "fall back" and gain an hour of sleep, there are fewer heart attacks.
Sleep deprivation carries a high risk. Sleeping less than 5-6 hours per night is associated with significant increase in the risk of heart disease, stroke, diabetes, obesity and depression. But 40% of Americans...
Our medical director for quality and patient safety, Mary Gregg, MD, MHA, blogged for the Washington State Medical Association about medication safety - what we as patients can do to help keep us safe:
Medications fight illnesses, prevent disease and help improve quality of life. But it's important to take them safely and as directed.
As a cardiac surgeon, I've seen the consequences of not taking medications properly. I once had a heart attack patient come to the hospital. After a successful surgery inserting a stent to prevent blockage in his artery, he was discharged with a prescription for a medication to prevent clots. For one reason or another, the patient didn't fill his prescription as instructed for several days and he ended up in the ER for emergency heart surgery.
Some easy simple steps to prevent medication errors:
It's that time of year to get back into your routine. Whether that means packing your child's lunch, preparing your own, or (ah-ha) adopting the concept of this midday meal for the first time, lunch is definitely an exciting and much needed opportunity to refuel your body with the proper nutrients necessary to continue plugging away until evening! (Yeah right, who has time for that meal? Sit tight, future post to come.)
1. "I don't have time"
You wait in line at Starbucks for your double tall, nonfat, 1.5 pump whatever, right? Then you have time to make lunch. I swear – Google it. Told you – 40.3 million results for "quick healthy lunch" discredits this excuse.
If you don't want to Google a solution, here are some ideas:
Planned-Overs*! Purposefully prepare extra at dinner, and reserve some for tomorrow's lunch. Grilling burgers? Grill up extra patties that you can use for tacos the next day. Salmon? Roast a few extra ounces and save for a salmon salad. Baked chicken? Cut into strips and use in sandwiches, dice and throw in pasta, or add to a can of your favorite soup for a protein boost.
*Word to the wise (or anyone who has experienced food poisoning from improperly handled leftovers): When using leftovers, you need to know the basics of food safety. Keep foods out of the "Danger Zone", which is 40-140F. Bacteria that can make you miserably ill favors this temp range, so keep your hot food hot, and cold foods cold. Never keep perishable foods in the danger zone for longer than 2 hours (1 hour if it's hot outside).

Don't have leftovers to use? Mix and match from the columns to create numerous quick assemble, healthy lunch options:
It's a well known fact that animals can reduce stress, lower blood pressure and promote healing. The Swedish Edmonds Therapy Pups (STP) program, which began in early 2008, has expanded to include more than 10 teams of volunteer handlers and their Pet Partners®. Presently, the teams visit patients on surgery floors, but they can be stopped for a visit any time you see them in the halls. While their primary purpose is to see hospital patients, they often visit patients' family and friends too – and our staff!
So what do handlers and their therapy pups do during a visit? I asked a few of our teams to share their stories. Also, make sure you watch the 'dog cam' below!
It's no secret that we're all just a little stressed these days. Between the economy and information overload on the internet, we have all sorts of things to worry about nowadays. Stress and anxiety can cause physical pain, emotional strain, and strain in your relationships. When you're stressed, your body is secreting hormones that put you into that 'fight or flight' state. Long term, this state will wear on your body.
Our children pick up on our heightened state and become stressed and anxious, too.This is not a good state for children to thrive in. We learn best when we're comfortable and relaxed, not if we're nervous and anxious.
Parents need to learn how to regulate their own stress so that we may help our children learn the same coping techniques.
Tips to regulate stress in the immediate moment:

This study examines at a population level how colorectal cancer (CRC) survivors evaluate the continuity and quality of their follow-up care after treatment, particularly for those in the care of a primary care provider (PCP).
A survey was mailed in 2010 to all individuals in Manitoba, Canada diagnosed in 2008/2009 with stage II and III CRC. Respondents were asked to identify the main provider(s) of their follow-up care. Those indicating a PCP completed the Patient Continuity of Care Questionnaire (PCCQ), which assesses continuity of care upon discharge from hospital to community. Quality of life (QOL) on the Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy—Colorectal (FACT-C) and the Illness Intrusiveness Rating Scale was collected as well as demographic information. Descriptive statistics and regression analyses were utilized.
The response rate was 246/360 or 68.3 %. Most participants were Caucasian with a mean age of 70 and 18 months from diagnosis. A single "main provider" of follow-up care was named by 47 %, most frequently a FP or oncologist, but a majority (53 %) indicated multiple providers. Twenty-four combinations of providers were described. The 106 respondents (43.1 %) who named a PCP as a main provider completed the PCCQ and reported high scores on its five subscales. In multivariate analysis, lower FACT-C QOL scores (OR 2.72, CI 1.12–6.57) and male gender (OR 2.82, CI 1.11–7.18) predicted poorer evaluations of continuity of care. Concern was highest regarding sexual function, body image, fatigue, impact on work and recreation, and bowel control, and in those who were younger or with rectal cancer.
The organization of CRC follow-up care between providers is complex and variable, but patients followed by PCPs evaluate their transitions of care after treatment favorably. Specific clinical issues and higher risk groups are identified and may benefit from specific attention from all providers.
Implications for cancer survivors
Most CRC survivors are satisfied when their primary care provider becomes responsible for follow-up care. However, this is less true for those who are having more challenges in recovery. These survivors should ensure that information transfer and support services are identified that will smooth this transition.

OMG: Shocking Family Affair At 2009 BET Awards
I didn't watch the 2009 BET Awards on Sunday so I didn't know that Tiny's new group, OMG, were the underage girls who appeared onstage with mentally impaired rapper Lil Wayne and that gay rapper Drake.
According to upset parents, the youngsters gyrated onstage as Wayne rapped his tune "I Want To F*ck Every Girl in the World" — or whatever the name of the track is.
As most of you know, the group's lead singer is Zonnique, 12, daughter of Tameka "Tiny" Cottle. The other three members are Reginae Carter, 9, Wayne's daughter with Antonia Carter who stars on Tiny & Toya (which premieres on BET tonight at 10pm); Bahjah Rodriguez, who turns 12 in August, and her sister Lourdes Rodriguez, who turns 11 in September.
Earlier this month, I spoke with Shamra Rodriguez, the proud mother of Bahjah and Lourdes, who told me that Bahjah's father, Jonathen "John-John" Rasboro (of the R&B group Silk), was not aware of his daughter's Atlanta audition with the group.
In this post I told you that Bahjah was in tears because her dad was a no-show at the audition. But Shamra did reveal that "John-John" is a deadbeat dad with at least 7 other kids spread around the U.S.
Shamra said "John John" was jailed earlier this year for a month for his refusal to pay child support for Bahjah.
A few loyal readers emailed me after the 2009 BET Awards with their shocked reactions to the Lil Wayne performance. In a post on Momlogic.com, Dr. Janet Taylor, who has two teenage daughters of her own, asked, "Why are we as women and mothers passively allowing our young girls to be utilized as sexual entertainment?"
From Momlogic.com:
I don't have a problem with Lil' Wayne, he is creative and his writing is brilliant at times. However, his song "Every Girl" is offensive and disturbing. Here are the shocking lyrics, read them with caution. Perhaps, they are what our kids are used to. I have teenagers, girls no less, who have heard the song and like it. My problem was the preteens who were proudly on stage, shaking their groove thang to this misogynistic, disrespectful song.
It was ridiculous. Debra Lee, the CEO of BET, also the mother of two children, should be asking herself who approved this and how these young girls were allowed to be a part of this "act".
It is time for perspective here. In the minutes that were wasted on stage during this song, almost four women were forcibly raped in the United States. The age group 13-17, that these young "dancers" belong include the highest victims of forcible rate at 32%. Women who are are sexually or physically abused just once in their lifetime are more likely to experience a poor range of physical and mental health outcomes. READ MORE…
I agree with the doctor, we as black women and mothers have to do better and demand better for our children… (Thank God I don't have any kids).

i blame BET. somebody had to know that this was the plan. and they shoulda nipped it in the BUD and said NO to whoever thought it was a good idea (the parents, the group mgmt which would be tiny right…)
what is done is done. hindsight is almost always 20/20. but if it happens again i am calling child services. like i said in the other post i was smdh and saying…it wouldn't be MY teen daughter up there…hail nawll.
I agree with everyone. This was WRONG on so many levels. I can't believe Tiny and Toya thought it was "cute" to have their kids up there. I will admit I do like this dumb azz song but the little kiddies shoulda been at home.
yes i was embarrased too @21. did they not rehearse? so you mean to tell me that NOBODY knew he was gonna do the grown and sexy lyrics as opposed to the cleaned up version…nobody knew?
nobody thought for ONE MIN. that hey having those little girls up there was a BAD idea and veto it? i find that hard to believe.
you are right @isc. i make parenting mistakes all the time. i guess mine are not played out in front of america…
auntie you should do a vibe mag cover pictorial maybe. if you got the time….man. that is one i hate to see go! vibe was that shyt! i used to scrape up my little chick fil a check to keep my subsc. renewed…then later got smart and asked for it for a xmas gift…man…bye vibe. :waving:
does that smiley work?
it did not work…oh well.

How to Select the Right GRC Solution for Your Organization
Hide details
Moderator: Brandon Dunlap. Panel: Chris McClean, Forrester; Ben Tomhave, LockPath; Jean-Marie Zirano, MEGA
Governance, risk management and compliance (GRC) processes are extensive; they are how an organization is directed and managed to achieve goals, considering risks to achievement, and complying with applicable laws and regulations.
Issues around information have become central to organizational strategies and GRC software is needed in organizations, and investment in these areas has been increasing. The GRC software space is vast with over 400 GRC software providers that span multiple categories and sub-categories of GRC related software.
Implementing a solution can be a lengthy and costly exercise, so it is imperative to choose carefully from the large number of options in the market. The issue is sifting through all the vendors with their offerings to find the one that best fits your organization. Buyers should have a clear understanding of their organizations functionality requirements, and a strategy in place for selecting the right partner. Join this webcast, and learn how to choose the right GRC solution for your organization as our experts discuss:
- How to understand your organizations functionality needs.
- Guidance for selecting the right partner including examples of good RFP questions.
- How to sift through the different solutions and make weighted assessments against solution criteria.
- Core maintenance and ongoing feeding requirements.

A Best Practice Blueprint for eGRC
Brandon Dunlap (Moderator); Renee Murphy, Forester; Mike Rost, MetricStream; Vivek Shivananda, Rsam.
May 26 2015
62 mins
With the increased regulation and scrutiny of the past decade, it is important for organizations to implement best practices in order to maintain control and achieve compliance with evolving regulatory requirements.
Compliance teams of the brave new world are set up to discuss risks with the key business leaders, and have sufficient resources to ensure company compliance programs are implemented effectively. Their software applications for managing enterprise governance, risk management, and compliance (eGRC) continue to mature with impressive features and functions, and they are making notable strategic advances by linking these three business functions for more informed decision-making, to reduce risk exposure, lower audit costs, and demonstrate compliance.
To replicate similar success in your eGRC program, you will need to focus on selling GRC value, practicing good GRC project management, and embedding GRC into corporate culture. Join this educational panel webinar as our experts delve deeper into this, and identify the best practices for implementing an eGRC program in 2015.

2014 was a year pack with hacker attacks on payment card infrastructures but we're not out of the woods yet. Dell's threat research team have regularly observed new active pieces of advanced Point-of-Sales (POS) malware in 2015. Why so many retailers still soft targets? For cyber criminals, retail is where the money is. The possibility of spiriting away and selling thousands or millions of credit card details and chunks of consumer information is powerful incentive.

ISO 31000 was published as a standard on the 13th of November 2009, and provides a standard on the implementation of risk management. A revised and harmonised ISO/IEC Guide 73 was published at the same time. The purpose of ISO 31000:2009 is to be applicable and adaptable for "any public, private or community enterprise, association, group or individual."[3] Accordingly, the general scope of ISO 31000 - as a family of risk management standards - is not developed for a particular industry group, management system or subject matter field in mind, rather to provide best practice structure and guidance to all operations concerned with risk management.

A New IT Approach to GRC for Business Innovation
Oct 22 2015
5:00 pm
60 mins
The burden of the existing day-to-day IT workload has never been greater and continues to grow. The recent financial scandals and high profile data breaches have raised scrutiny to unprecedented levels. This scrutiny, together with new legislative changes, has resulted in an array of new compliance measures and related challenges, which have led to a melting pot of complexity that has seen organizations increase spend simply to 'keep the IT maintenance lights on'.
Due to consumer demand, leaders are having to look hard at their IT strategy and ways to reduce expenditure so they can invest in innovation to future-proof the business. Many banks are considering whether a complete IT infrastructure overhaul would prove more beneficial as spending on basic maintenance and compliance does little to move the business forward, yet it consumes the vast majority of IT budget. Not complying is not an option, and reducing IT spend on compliance is difficult as associated projects have become high priority 'must haves' and budget 'must spends'. If organizations fail to adapt their approach it will remain impossible for IT departments to service the needs of the compliance office and still satisfy the business innovation agenda.
Attend this webinar to learn more about:
- Driving efficiencies to reduce the cost of compliance
- Using compliance to enabling teams to focus their efforts more effectively
- Automating business process to get ahead of compliance
- Raising your organization's overall data privacy, compliance, and security profile

Realizing Effective Data Security
Aug 11 2015
5:00 pm

Inadequate security and eager cyber attackers have led enterprise data breaches to increase at an alarming pace. Staggering numbers of affected customers—and financial losses—are sending shock waves through the business world, and creating a sense of urgency around identifying solutions.
Finding a way to ward off cyber intruders has become a critical challenge. There is a need to create value around company data and one way to do this is to ensure that the workforce knows and understands the threats that are out there and the measures that are in place to protect against them.
Data security is not one size fits all, nor is a data security communication plan. Finding the ideal fit for any company may take trial and error, but an educated and mindful workforce will serve to support the mission of IT security teams tasked with keeping confidential information secure. Join this educational panel webinar as our experts discuss how to realize effective data security across an enterprise.

As corporate information technology infrastructure increases in size and complexity, corporations are recognizing the need for a better mechanism for assessing IT's role and alignment to the key corporate initiatives. What began as a series of best practices has evolved into the field known as IT governance.
IT governance is no longer just a theoretical concept, it is a fundamental business necessity, and an iterative process which requires requires senior management commitment over the long term in order to see results. By implementing a centralized IT governance program, corporations can deliver immediate benefits to the entire organization such as:
• The ability to map IT and technology risks into business processes
• Better visibility and decision support around IT risks
• Improved IT efficiency
• IT risk reduction
This educational webinar is for business and technical people and introduces the key concepts and challenges with IT governance.

The total number of fraudulent payment card transactions has grown every year since 2006, and experts are calling 2014 "the year of the breach." The Ponemon Institute found that each breach cost the average retailer $8.6 million in related expenses, and the price tag connected with a data breach increased across the board, reaching $20.8 million for financial service firms, $14.5 million for technology companies and $12.7 for communications providers.
With attacks continually on the rise, it's more important than ever that merchants protect themselves from the potentially huge financial losses and damages to their brand and customer loyalty associated with a data breach. Join this educational session to gain insights and some key steps to prevent payment card breaches across your organization.

With the increased regulation and scrutiny of the past decade, it is important for organizations to implement best practices in order to maintain control and achieve compliance with evolving regulatory requirements.
Compliance teams of the brave new world are set up to discuss risks with the key business leaders, and have sufficient resources to ensure company compliance programs are implemented effectively. Their software applications for managing enterprise governance, risk management, and compliance (eGRC) continue to mature with impressive features and functions, and they are making notable strategic advances by linking these three business functions for more informed decision-making, to reduce risk exposure, lower audit costs, and demonstrate compliance.
To replicate similar success in your eGRC program, you will need to focus on selling GRC value, practicing good GRC project management, and embedding GRC into corporate culture. Join this educational panel webinar as our experts delve deeper into this, and identify the best practices for implementing an eGRC program in 2015.

Moderator: Branden Williams. Panel: Ralph Spencer Poore, PCI SSC; Terence Spies, HP Voltage; Scott Carcillo, Merchant Link
Data breaches are a widespread problem with over 1.1 billion records compromised in the last 10 years. According to the Verizon 2014 Data Breach Investigations Report, the vast majority of breaches occurred against small to mid-sized companies.
As a result many retailers are focused on bolstering payment security and reducing fraud by implementing solutions such us EMV, End-to-end encryption (E2EE), and Tokenization. These solutions can work in tandem to protect merchants, and enable them to exceed regulatory requirements by securing card data across all payment environments.
In this session our experts will present and define the three technologies, address the drivers that are leading the United States to implement EMV, and explain the complementary role of Tokenization with respect to EMV and End-to-end encryption.

* On this webcast we're giving away a pass ($2,490 value) to our partner event: The 3rd Annual Stress Testing USA Congress being held in NYC on March 18-19, 2015. All attendees will be included in the draw.
The clock is ticking for enterprises that have not yet upgraded their payment card processing systems to be compliant with Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) 3.0. Since Jan. 1, 2015 , there is increasing urgency to not only understand the most important changes in PCI DSS 3.0, but also to be ready for a rigorous QSA assessment against those changes. Since PCI 3.0 is bigger, harder and more expensive than the previous iteration, merchants have their work cut out for them.
PCI DSS founding member, Visa Inc. recently changed its policy on compliance assessments for the PCI DSS. More specifically, Visa decided that merchants who meet a stringent set of criteria including processing 75% of transactions using "Chip and PIN" enabled terminals, may be able to apply for an exemption from PCI DSS assessment requirements. Unfortunately, not all merchants are aware of the change, and fewer understand what it means.
In this special presentation, our expert panel will explain the changes and their implications, and offer a detailed review of PCI DSS 3.0 to help enterprises prepare for assessments and make PCI compliance a whole lot easier.

In 2015 the size of the digital universe will be tenfold what it was in 2010. Large-scale data breaches are on the rise across all sectors, and enterprise data security initiatives must evolve to address new and growing threats. Consumer transactions, personally identifiable information, customer records, and the like, all flowing together into the Hadoop 'data lake', will enable critical business insights but also means Hadoop installations will be a rich target for cyber-crime.
Organizations are now faced with more stringent and expanding regulations, and must implement better governance, more effective risk management policies, and smarter data management approaches to enable them to do a much better job of controlling their business through the information explosion. As companies look at GRC technology, they should assess the capability of these solutions to deliver continuous monitoring of controls, key risk and security indicators, policies, and ensure they are natively integrated with critical business systems.
We invite you to attend this round-table webinar as our panel of experts will discuss top guidelines for Hadoop security and governance in 2015, and provide guidance for assessing new technology solutions to ensure they will achieve your objectives.
Top Security Guidelines for EMV and Mobile Payments in 2015
Dec 4 2014

Branden Williams, Moderator; Ralph Spencer Poore, PCI SSC; Terence Spies; David Tushie; and Rajesh Sharma
More than 100 million Americans have lost personal information in a data breach over the last year, and identity theft is the fastest growing crime in the US. As a result, President Obama has launched a government initiative to support the US migration to EMV and improve information sharing on cyberfraud threats, and nearly half of US merchant terminals are expected to accept EMV cards by the end of next year.
As of October 1 of 2015, merchants and acquirers—not card issuers—will bear the financial burden resulting from fraudulent use of counterfeit, lost and stolen cards. It's a risk that's only mitigated by demonstration and documentation of EMV compliance. Beyond the liability shift, EMV holds promise as an enabler of secure mobile and e-commerce payments, with attractive PCI (Payment Card Industry) Security Standards-related benefits for merchants. Those who implement EMV contact- and contactless-enabled POS devices may be excused from PCI audits and the costs associated with them, creating further incentive to adopt EMV.
In this webinar, we'll discuss the details behind the migration to EMV, how the technology works, and some top security guidelines for EMV and Mobile Payments in 2015.
Don't Be the Next Headline: Data Security Best Practices for 2015 and Beyond

Albert Einstein once observed: "Technological progress is like an axe in the hands of a pathological criminal." His words were eerily prophetic of the continuous news of data breaches in the retail and banking sectors.
Data breaches can be financially catastrophic as they drive costs to repair the damage, costs to secure their systems, costs to repay the consumers, losses in profits, losses in consumer confidence, and lawsuits seeking damages for alleged negligence. Intense media and Congressional scrutiny have classified all data breaches as direct attacks on privacy, and any company that has possession of personal identification information should consider itself in possession of potentially explosive material.
Although the headline-making breaches are highly sophisticated, most attacks simply exploit lax security practices. In fact, Verizon's 2014 Data Breach Investigations Report found that 78 percent of the attacks were of very low or low difficulty. That means that in more than three-quarters of all breaches, attackers used basic methods that required few resources and no software customization. That's the bad news. The good news is that the vast majority of security breaches can be prevented by implementing and enforcing basic security best practices with proven technologies.
Join our panel of experts as they discuss how to implement data security best practices, and how to prepare your experts with a crisis response plan to avoid being another headline.

Tyler Moffitt-Senior Threat Research Analyst, Webroot
Encrypting ransomware is a key term in the title as just ransomware is broad and can include threats that are very different, easy to detect, and don't encrypt files at infection - the key differentiation point that gives these threats the upper hand against AV.
The presentation is going to be on all the encrypting ransomwares we've seen thus far. It will cover in-depth features of each one and how malware authors made improvements as time went on. There is quite a few so it will be a full presentations worth (cryptolocker, dir-crypt, cryptowall, cryptodefense, zero-locker, critroni, synolocker, cryptographic locker). I'll show from start to finish of an infection and what a user will experience and will highlight social engineering tactics along with the methods of payment circumventing money mules.

What is driving expansion to the cloud? In most cases, it's cost. But for many enterprise IT organizations, it is about agility, efficiency, and productivity.
The research firm, 451 Group says, "Cloud is a way of using technology, not a technology in itself," and, in many cases, IT organizations have chartered new courses on their own to reach the same value as the hyper-scale cloud solution providers. Although, as with any DIY solution, comes caveat emptor. As any do-it-yourselfer will attest, at some point you must make adjustments, fixes, and, in some cases, scrap it and build it all over again. This is the nature of DIY. However, in today's competitive marketplace, time and resources are limited, and for IT to be more agile, efficient, and productive, DIY may not be the best course of action moving forward.
In this webinar, we will look at the trends of cloud and how building a secure, compliant cloud based on validated and converged infrastructures will be the way IT expands its way beyond the data center, into the cloud.

2013 was the worst year yet in terms of data breaches, with over 740 million records exposed, and 2014 is shaping up to be more of the same. Security analysts estimate the costs of the data breach that hit U.S. retailer Target are approaching half a billion dollars for the company. The total cost of the breach including losses incurred by banks, consumers and others–could easily reach into the billions of dollars, and the incidents continue.
With the Target incident seen as a watershed many financial institutions are planning to begin issuing EMV cards in the next two years, although many are still hesitant to commit to EMV because of uncertainty around retailer adoption of chip card point-of-sale terminals, questions about the viability of the business case for migrating from magnetic stripe cards to chip cards, as well as unresolved issues related to regulation and support for merchant routing choice. Meanwhile, the official release of PCI DSS v3.0 is here, delivering a fresh set of regulatory concerns for retailers.
Clearly, traditional IT defenses are no longer working. But you can take control. Join us as we discuss key lessons learned from the recent breaches, and the latest developments in payment security.
Compliance Does Not Equal Security – A Risk-Based Plan for ePHI Protection
Aug 20 2014
63 mins
Andrew Hicks, Healthcare Practice Director at Coalfire; and Mark Bower, VP Product Mgt, Voltage Security
With the emergence of big data healthcare analytics, electronic health information exchange, clinical data warehousing, and other technologies for optimizing patient care, the healthcare industry has never been more reliant on electronic data and the strict requirements associated with the data. The advances in business processes, technology and regulations require that data security initiatives evolve to address new and growing threats. Coincidentally, in a recent survey, 69% of organizations felt that provisions of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) have the effect of increasing or significantly increasing risks to patient privacy and security.
Chasing compliance is an expensive proposition that doesn't adequately address the current security threats and vulnerabilities. Organizations that simply want to comply with the regulations are already at risk. A more effective program is risk-based -- one where incremental changes to controls can be made in real-time to more effectively combat current threats to your security program. Join us for this webinar where you'll learn:
- Why compliance is an outcome of an effective data protection program.
- Risk assessment, analysis and management – what's the difference and why you need them.
- What is considered 'reasonable'?
- What leading healthcare organizations are doing today to protect data, with a focus on securing Big Data for healthcare analytics?
- How data protection can help without getting in the way of patient care.
- How do you protect from your healthcare organization public loss of confidence?

Outgoing Gov. Haley Barbour's pardon of a man convicted of murder, aggravated assault and burglary is drawing criticism from relatives of the man's victims as well as the state House Democratic leader.
In 1993, David Glenn Gatlin leveled a gun at the head of his wife, Tammy, and killed her while she held their 2-month-old child, then turned the gun on family friend Randy Walker and shot him in the head as well. Walker survived.
Gatlin was convicted in 1994 in Rankin County and given life for murder, 20 years for aggravated assault and 10 years for residential burglary. He has been a trusty at the Governor's Mansion since Nov. 19, 2009, according to the Mississippi Department of Corrections' Website.
That status apparently is what has helped Gatlin, now 40, get a pardon from Barbour.
Walker's family members are distraught, saying their efforts to speak to someone from the governor's office have fallen on deaf ears.
Crystal Walker, Randy Walker's wife, said her family had gotten a letter Friday saying that Gatlin's parole had been turned down again. Then on Saturday, family members heard he was being pardoned.
Crystal Walker said her family now lives in fear.
"On parole he'd at least have to check in and have some supervision," she said Sunday. "Now he could live beside us, or we could run into him at Walmart. You're always looking over your shoulder."
And, she said, it's worse for Tammy Gatlin's family, who still live in the area as well.
"Our pain is bad, but there's a child that doesn't have a mom, and his dad was in jail," she said. "There are a brother and sister who grew up without their sister. This has affected so many people. We feel like we didn't have a voice in it."
Barbour's spokeswoman, Laura Hipp, could not be reached Sunday.
House Democratic Caucus Leader Bobby Moak of Bogue Chitto criticized Republicans in a statement. "The Republican Party needs to lead and rethink its catch-and-release program," he said.
Moak also said the tradition of lame duck pardons needs to end. "The people of Mississippi and their justice system deserve better," he said. "In the past, we have tried to limit this authority by allowing law enforcement and victims' families the opportunity to have their voice heard on these decisions that bypass the parole board. It's time to make these changes."
Senate President Pro Tempore Terry Brown of Columbus said he is sure the governor has his reasons.
"The outgoing governor has the right to do what he sees and what he thinks is good and fair," Brown said. "... And he knows more about the details than I do."
But Crystal Walker said Barbour should hear from the family members of Gatlin's victims. "He's only seen the good David," she said. "We know it's totally within his right to do this, but we'd feel better if we'd had a chance to talk to him about it."
Crystal Walker said she had called the governor's office 17 times in recent months about trying to talk to Barbour about the possibility of Gatlin's pardon. "I feel like if we'd have been able to talk to him it would have been different," she said.
To comment on this story, call Therese Apel at (601) 961-7236.

Analog Devices Introduces Advanced Circuits for Industrial and Instrumentation Applications.
Analog Devices Inc. (NYSE: ADI), a global leader in high-performance semiconductors for signal-processing applications and the market leader in data conversion technology and amplifier ICs, is introducing its latest wave of solutions, including data converters, amplifiers, voltage references and a new family of smart sensing devices, designed to meet the unique signal conditioning requirements of industrial and instrumentation equipment. By addressing the particular performance needs of high-voltage industrial systems operating in electrically noisy environments, the new data converter, amplifier and voltage reference components -- enabled by ADI's patented high-voltage manufacturing processes -- feature reduced power consumption, cost and package size to simplify system development and free up board space for the inclusion of new product features. The new family of smart sensors, meanwhile, is based on ADI's existing iMEMS(R) (integrated Micro Electromechanical Systems) technology coupled with a novel, advanced integration technique. The new sensors deliver breakthrough performance and programmability to simplify the design of factory automation controls, platform monitoring systems and other motion-sensitive industrial tools and machinery.
"Analog Devices tailored the development of each new product to address specific performance challenges confronting industrial and instrumentation equipment designers. For example, the new data converters, amplifiers and voltage references use ADI's proprietary iCMOS(TM) and iPolar(TM) high-voltage analog semiconductor manufacturing processes to resolve a growing gap between the needs of industrial equipment, where operating voltages often exceed 30 V, and portable consumer and communications devices, where supply voltages are continuously declining," said Dick Meaney, vice president, Precision Signal Processing group, Analog Devices. "At the same time, ADI's new iSensor(TM) smart sensors were designed with the recognition that today's industrial systems increasingly require an application-specific, highly integrated yet low-cost means of reliably detecting and measuring vibration, linear and angular movement and other forms of motion."
New Data Converters, Amplifiers, and Smart Sensors
The following products are being introduced today:
--Programmable PulSAR(R) analog-to-digital converters: The new 16-bit AD761x and 18-bit AD763x PulSAR analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) eliminate the need for expensive level shifting and gain stages in front-end analog circuitry through the innovative addition of software selectable input ranges. By leveraging ADI's patented iCMOS(TM) industrial process technology, the new SAR (successive-approximation register) ADCs allow for the selection of unipolar input voltage ranges of 0 to 5 V and 0 to 10 V, and bipolar input voltage ranges of +/-5 V and +/-10 V 'on the fly' - with zero data latency. The result is a dramatic reduction in component costs and board space requirements for industrial applications, such as data acquisition and process control systems used in factory automation. Clocking at speeds up to 750 kSPS, devices in the 16-bit AD761x series offer up to a 6-fold improvement in sampling rate performance over existing programmable ADCs, while the AD763x ADCs allow more precise signal conversion at 18 bits of resolution. The combination of functionality, performance and a 50 percent smaller footprint available at half the price of competing products is unprecedented in a SAR ADC. For more information, visit www.analog.com/AD7610 and www.analog.com/AD7631.
--JFET-input operational amplifier and voltage references: The new JFET (junction field effect transistor)-input op amp (operational amplifier) and a new family of voltage references have been optimized to provide designers of industrial and instrumentation systems extremely high-precision performance, ultra small size and very low power consumption, saving board space and improving circuit layout flexibility at a cost lower than competing devices. Well suited for use as a reference buffer, active filter and level shifter, the ADA4000-1 op amp offers the best precision performance of any component in its class, with 80 percent lower input bias current and 50 percent lower offset voltage. Manufactured on ADI's iPolar(TM) trench isolation process technology, the ADA4000-1 consumes 75 percent less power and is available in a TSOT-23 package 75 percent smaller than the closest competing op amp. The high precision and dc accuracy of the ADA4000-1 enable exact measurement and control functions in equipment that requires the highest accuracy, such as patient monitoring and data acquisition and safety systems. For more information, visit www.analog.com/ADA4000-1.
The ADR12x family of low-power voltage references combines high precision and low-voltage operation within a TSOT-23 package, making it the perfect companion chip for data converters in handheld and battery-powered industrial and medical instrumentation equipment. The devices feature the lowest temperature drift performance (9 ppm per degree C) over the extended industrial temperature range (-40 degrees C to +125 degrees C)--a 10 percent improvement over competing devices--and require very little supply current, only 85 microA, for operation. This improvement in precision within a small footprint is optimized by the trimming efficiencies of the Analog Devices' iPolar process technology. For more information, visit www.analog.com/ADR12x.
--iSensor(TM) intelligent sensors: The flagship of a new sensor product family from Analog Devices, the ADIS16201 iSensor intelligent motion sensor leverages a patent-pending advanced integration process that combines a dual-axis MEMS accelerometer, a digital temperature sensor, power management circuitry and embedded firmware. This system-in-a-package approach results in a small, cost-effective, easy-to-use sensor solution that provides fully calibrated digital outputs for motion and inclination measurements to make reliable sensing circuitry more accessible and affordable for designers of industrial systems. The combination of functionality is ideal for industrial applications, such as platform stabilization, machine vibration detection, and motion and positioning measurement. The new smart sensors include application-specific programmable power-management options, while a self-calibration feature, combined with multiple, easy-to-use, on-chip programming options and an industry standard SPI (serial port interface), significantly reduces the cost and time associated with system-level sensor integration. For more information, visit www.analog.com/ADIS16201.
About ADI's iCMOS and iPolar Processes
The result of significant, multi-year R&D investments, both the iCMOS and iPolar processes enable a new category of high-performance analog components able to operate in electrically noisy, high-voltage environments such as process controls, factory automation systems, control loops, and other industrial electronic equipment.
The iCMOS process combines the performance benefits of a complementary bipolar process, the efficiency of CMOS (complementary metal oxide semiconductor) and high-voltage capability. Prior to this introduction, industrial designers considering an analog CMOS process were forced to add significant levels of signal conditioning, signal biasing and external op-amps to their systems. Under those conditions, manufacturing technologies capable of handling 30 V ranged up to 5.0 micron -- an order of magnitude greater than the 0.6-micron line widths achievable through iCMOS. ADI's iCMOS process is also able to fully isolate components from the substrate or each other, meaning that a single chip can mix-and-match 5-V CMOS with higher voltage 16-, 24- or 30-V CMOS circuitry, and with multiple voltage supplies running to the same chip.
The iPolar trench isolation process is a stable, high-voltage manufacturing methodology that replaces the bulky diffusion layers of traditional bipolar processes with a deep trench technique that dramatically increases transistor density and performance. This combination allows the development of products with significantly enhanced functionality while fitting into reduced package sizes. The iPolar process yields precision linear ICs that enhance analog signal processing, while the sub-micron 30-V iCMOS process is used to manufacture highly integrated mixed-signal devices. These new processes extend ADI's analog and mixed-signal circuit design breakthroughs into the high-voltage realm, giving industrial instrumentation customers access to the most advanced data converter, amplifier and sensor components.
