Dave Zirin: She is our Jordan. She is our Jim Brown. She is our Babe Ruth, calling his shots. She is no longer content to dodge bullets, but understands how to stop them. Serena is that rare athlete who has not only mastered her sport. She's harnessed it.
Steve Hochstadt: In response to social criticism, aggressors and their defenders have developed their theory of "political correctness", using the classic strategy of changing the subject.

(From "Big 3″ number 4, 1941.)
5 thoughts on "It's not a doll, it's an action figure! Of a baby."
With such amazing mail-in prizes, I just can't understand why Kooba Cola went under…
They didn't they just time traveled using their orange ocarina.
I've been looking for something to do with all my Kooba bottle caps.
If you look a bit closer, you'll notice that the doll (sorry, I meant action figure of the doll) is actually wearing what looks like a neck brace.
And you can see Kooba's future in item 9846 and item 7804. Look up Kooba, what are they know for now? There a line of handbags now.

Kukla's Korner Hockey
Danton's Father Speaks Out On Parole For His Son
by Paul on 09/12/09 at 10:05 AM ET
Comments (0)
from Steve Simmons of the Toronto Sun,
There is no nice way of saying this: Mike Danton lied to the National Parole Board yesterday.
He told a whopper—and they bought it hook, line and sinker.
The former hockey player, imprisoned for his bizarre and awkward role in a failed murder-for-hire plot, told the Parole Board that the target of his ire was not his disgraced agent, David Frost, but his estranged father, Steve Jefferson.
That is, in a word, nonsense.
"I'm so mad it's not funny," Steve Jefferson said yesterday. "I don't know if you can print what I'm really feeling.
"I can't believe the judicial system ... I want people to know that the system has failed us again and again and again. One of the conditions of his parole is he is not allowed to speak to me, but he is allowed to see Dave Frost with his parole officer's approval. Does any of this make sense to anybody?"

Vulcan Tire Sales Reviews
2014 Winner

Recent Reviews for Vulcan Tire Sales
- Jul 29, 2015Prices were much better than I found elsewhere. The one thing that had me on the fence was the time that it would take to get here. I ran a cost benefit analysis to determine if it was worth it to purchase elsewhere for more money in order to have the tires sooner. At the end of the day I opted to go with Vulcan because someone was able give me a good rate on the install that lowered the overall cost. Suggestion would to be consider developing a network of installers that could put the tires on for a fair rate. Many other tire stores charge punitive numbers because they don't get the mark up on the tires themselves when you buy online. Last but not least, a faster shipping option. I would've paid a bit more for the option to get them here some time within the next 5 days but not the rates offered . That option cost min 4 x times higher than the base rate. If shipping was not an issue, Vulcan would be a no brainer. Would not even have to think twice.
- Jul 28, 2015Very satisfied with the ease of the ordering process!.
- Jul 28, 20151st time ordering... will wait and see order timeline and if need by, return/warrenty issues
- Jul 28, 2015Excellent tires for a great price
- Jul 28, 2015The experience was very smooth, professional and fast
- Jul 27, 2015Good deal. I have been using Pressure Pro TPMS for 10 years. This is the first time I have had to replace sensors.
- Jul 27, 2015Can't wait to see your product on my business trailers!
- Jul 26, 2015I ordered 4 winter studded tires in 2014, living in VT they helped a lot where I was driving to and from to work. That's why I am buying tires again.
- Jul 26, 2015Very easy to place an order. Glad to see they accept Paypal. Very good prices.
- Jul 25, 2015I love vulcan tire. They always have the cheapest Falken Azenis, and make it very clear that they do/don't have the tires in stock, instead of having to go all the way to checkout and finding out I have to wait 3 months to get them in. You guys rock!
- Jul 24, 2015Easy site to find and buy.
- Jul 24, 2015Satisfied customer, keep coming back
- Jul 23, 2015Very easy to understand webpage and prices where very competitive
- Jul 23, 2015Great Prices !
- Jul 17, 2015it wasn't too bad . your price with shipping was lower that an ebay store with free shipping . I liked that you use paypal. had the tires I wanted in the size I wantedJul 24, 2015
- Jul 13, 2015Jul 27, 2015I am still waiting on the valve stems I ordered. Can you please provide an update.
- Jul 11, 2015Jul 24, 2015It took a number of days before the company realized they didnt have the items in stock that they sold me.
- Jun 12, 2015I wish you shipped with someone other than UPS. The customs and tax collection upon delivery is extremely inconvenient. I am a repeat customer. Was recommended to Vulcan Tire by members of our local car/race club. Haven't let any of us down yet!Jul 22, 2015

almost like a test by unity1 on Tue Sep 13, 2011 11:31 am
ok, so im trying something new....i havent had a drink in the day for a while...but today i have had one...and am now having another...i hope this is not a test that will go wrong
It sounds really stuped saying a test coz thats not how i was thinking about it until i decided to write this blog..
I seem never to remember or understand why i do certain things because i literally forget... so im tracking it....why i am choosing to have a drink....coz i know that is what it is...a choice...
Ok, so, heres what i wrote on a scrap of paper earlier and then i wanna write some more...
'ok, so im not sure if im gonna have this one small drink...the reasons why -
I feel better (different) today in comparrison to these last days...i think???...i could be dancing around tidying up to my music - then my mind overtakes trying to work out how i feel...i cant work it out - its just changing back and forth to how i THINK i feel...one minute i think i should be or am happy, then depressed, hyper, etc etc...then back around them all again..
If i have a drink my feelings will be more concrete and stable - even if not the right emotion hopefully it will just be one...im sick of not knowing how i feel or trying to feel a certain way
Having one drink now.....'
Ok so i wrote that half hour ago, now i have drink number 2...and this is where it stops today...
I now have drink number 2 as drink number 1 has seriously almost stablised my mind to....mmm..still not sure what, but it is as it is and it is not skipping all over the place trying to find where i belong today - i think it feels cool...better anyhow...more stable
Before i had the first drink i was imaging and almost about to self harm...not cutting but i just wanted to dig my nails as far into my stomach as possible and just pull at me...just coz i wanted to feel something...hurt myself??? maybe...still confused...but only when i keep thinking about that...
I guess now i can concentrate at the fact that i have had a drink and how i shouldnt have....
It has given me some sort of feeling that i understand...at least for a while.

I followed up with Source Interlink Media President Chris Argentieri to ask him a few questions about the Grind Networks acquisition.
First, I was curious how Source Interlink financed the deal, since Source Interlink filed for bankruptcy in 2009.
Argentieri told me the prepackaged bankruptcy that had the approval of Source Interlink lenders allowed the company to emerge with a much stronger balance sheet and a changed capital structure.
The company's business is strong and improving, he said, and the acquisition was funded by free cash flow.
"Our cash position hasn't been better in recent history," he said.
Argentieri declined to say how much Source Interlink paid for Grind Networks.

Golden State Warriors need Andrew Bogut to get through Dog Days
For coaches in the NBA, these are the days that try even the best of minds.
The last two weeks before the All Star Break are the most difficult to navigate for a coaching staff in the Association. Stars are thinking about the parties they intend to attend during All Star Weekend, good teams are looking forward to the second half, bad teams are counting the days to summer vacation.
For Mark Jackson and the Golden State Warriors, they squarely find themselves in the second category, sitting in sixth place, hoping to move up in the Western Conference ranking, believing that this season could be a special one.
For many Bay Area basketball fans, the idea of a team with only two playoff appearances in twenty years positioning for the playoffs is almost mind-boggling. But if were you ask Coach Jackson, the idea of the Warriors making the playoffs is just business as usual. Since taking over as head coach a year ago, Jackson has stressed the necessity to raise expectations for a franchise seemingly stuck in neutral.
But has Jackson raised the bar too much, too quickly?
After three straight losses to the Houston Rockets, Oklahoma City Thunder and the Memphis Grizzlies some have gone from "We Believe" to "We're Not So Sure, Anymore."
Certainly Warriors fans, long suffering and loyal, want to hear that their squad is not only good enough to make the playoffs, but good enough to make some noise. The seasons that starters Stephen Curry, David Lee, Klay Thompson, rookie Harrison Barnes and reserves Jarrett Jack and Carl Landry are having has been superlative. And Jackson's consistent emphasis on defense and toughness has left an impression on a traditionally soft Golden State team.
But as the second half approaches, the teams inherent deficiencies are rearing up. This is still not a team blessed with much height or interior toughness. Lee, while a double-double machine in the first half, has never been known as a strong post defender and Barnes looks to be more a scorer than a banger along side of him.
The key to the Warriors' second half seems to be the biggest mystery of the first: Andrew Bogut. Bogut, the prize acquisition of the big mid-season trade last season, has tantalized the Oracle faithful with his cameo appearances this season, giving them flashes of what this team could be with him. But flashes may be all he can give this season. Which might not be enough for a playoff hungry public.
Granted, his attempts to play in the season's first weeks after having off-season micro-fracture surgery now seem overly noble. Bogut's has proven he wants to be out there helping his team. Without him, the interior defense of the Warriors is inconsistent at best, flammable at worst. Bogut brings a physical, skilled presence to bear in conference loaded with good big men.
The problem for the Warriors is, they might benefit more in the long run by not letting Bogut inject himself back into the lineup in the first half. Some figures around the league think he might be better served to sit out the year to fully recover. Others (maybe even Bogut himself) think him returning to lead a youthful team on a playoff push might validate an up-and-down career for the former#1 overall pick.
To Jackson's credit, he's working Bogut back into the lineup in increments, giving him a start every other game, limiting his minutes, monitoring him closely. But a part time Bogut may not be enough to keep a playoff spot above the eighth spot, which would mean an almost sure first-round exit against either OKC or the San Antonio Spurs.
Maybe early February is too soon to worry about playoff match up. Given their history since 1975, the Warriors should count themselves fortunate to be in the playoff discussion. But for better or worse, Jackson and the 2012-2013 Warriors have raised the bar of expectations. The second half will let NBA fans know if the can make the grade.

Over the last few weeks I've been hearing a lot of discussion around HIPAA. When we speak about HIPAA, invariably the two components of data security and data privacy arises.
In the traditional data centers, database managers and data owners know where their data resides and implement the necessary processes to preserve privacy and audit access.
However, when we move to the cloud, the cloud being all about data, we are looking at servers, network, and storage that are abstracted. This raises concern that data owners may not necessarily know where their data sets physically reside and we are looking at Cloud Service Provider (CSP) employees who will be handling confidential patient data or Personally Identifiable Information (PII).
Of importance here is that when it comes to leveraging the cloud ecosystem for healthcare segments, the foremost concerns are around HIPAA and the HITECH Act compliance capabilities and meaningful use provisions.
So what is meaningful use? According to HealthIT.gov
"Meaningful use is the set of standards defined by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) Incentive Programs that governs the use of electronic health records and allows eligible providers and hospitals to earn incentive payments by meeting specific criteria."
The goal of meaningful use is to promote the spread of Electronic Health Records (EHR) to improve health care in the United States.
Benefits of meaningful use of EHRs include:
- Complete and accurate information.
- Better access to information.
- Patient empowerment.
In the healthcare world, organizations are positioning to attain meaningful use. This to capture the incentives allocated by the Federal Government as well as to ensure that reimbursements do not face jeopardy for providers not in line with the meaningful use provisions.
As healthcare practitioners and organizations increase the use of technology solutions in delivering clinical care, their IT departments are faced with additional stress to provide availability on demand and operate data center approaching 99.999 percent availability. In most cases this is a major challenge that can lead to the risk of unscheduled outages and costly solutions.
Assuring high availability for healthcare applications, means meeting uptime requirements; and in today's environments will require access to more than one data center. This can significantly impact the overall capital investment in data center infrastructure for healthcare organizations.
Looking to the cloud as a solution is not only the next step in services but will ensure high availability of clinical applications. This will allow a healthcare organization to leverage the expertise and financial stability of an established CSP. Another advantage of leveraging a cloud ecosystem, is that of rapid provisioning and deployment, with the ability to change compute capacity as demand changes.
Thus in the event of failure, server instances can be seamlessly moved to alternate hosts or in anticipation can be clustered to provide redundancy.
Some may ask whether it is risky to transfer data from site to cloud. The answer is no as a majority of organizations move data over the Internet via encryption channels. Where we can see concerns arising is with the hand-off of data into the (CSP) environment.
In a seamless environment all data will have site to site encryption up to and including storage. Where we can see some separation is with healthcare application vendors support.
In the cloud, it is a given that we can have a number of people with access to the physical servers and storage that cloud consumers have no control over. For an IT Security person this will elicit conflicting concerns as on one hand there is the presupposition that complete control is being relinquished which can only be assured with prescriptive precautions defined by a CSP.
The cloud computing ecosystem is still evolving and as such there is still a lack of industry-wide certifications. As we mature within this ecosystem the intent is to drive toward processes, best practices and certifications which would provide legal protection that can reduce the complexities of a long negotiation and complex SLA requirements.
Within a regular data center or even a small IT shop, as an IT Security leader one of my first expectation for any shop is some form of centralized logging with automation. Similarly by transferring such a mindset into the cloud ecosystem (they are after datacenters) any healthcare customer security leaders expect the assurance that detailed reporting is a given.
Having worked on the security strategy and assessment separately for a few cloud computing projects I have seen first-hand, that access rights was a major focus. In light of this, it is not a complex process to segment solutions for healthcare. As a result any access to servers and storage dedicated to a healthcare customer by anyone within a CSP organization will be logged and thus can provide the assurance of controls around access.
From a legal perspective, more specifically talking contracts, healthcare customers expect the provisions of strong financial penalties to indemnify against a breech as well as to hold the CSP accountable.
Some CSPs are moving to providing a HIPAA Business Associate Agreement (BAA) for their healthcare customers. The assurance provided by their BAA demonstrates meeting the compliance requirements (enabling the physical, technical, and administrative safeguards required) of the HIPAA and the HITECH Acts.
In closing, I will state that HIPPA compliance and cloud computing do not have to be in conflict. Rather healthcare entities can leverage the benefits of the cloud, coupled with the necessary due diligence and legal contracts to meet their needs.

You often hear the two titles of "DevOps" and "Immutable Infrastructure" used independently. In his session at DevOps Summit, John Willis, Technical Evangelist for Docker, covered the union between the two topics and why this is important.

One of the ways to increase scalability of services – and applications – is to go "stateless." The reasons for this are many, but in general by eliminating the mapping between a single client and a single app or service instance you eliminate the need for resources to manage state in the app (overhead) and improve the distributability (I can make up words if I want) of requests across a pool of instances. The latter occurs because sessions don't need to hang out and consume resources that could ...

Microservices has the potential of significantly impacting the way in which developers create applications. It's possible to create applications using microservices faster and more efficiently than other technologies that are currently available. The problem is that many people are suspicious of microservices because of all the technology claims to do. In addition, anytime you start moving things around in an organization, it means changing the status quo and people dislike change. Even so, micr...

Take the Long View with Digital Transformation By @IoT2040 | @ThingsExpo #IoT #M2M #API #Microservices #InternetOfThings
Digital Transformation is the ultimate goal of cloud computing and related initiatives. The phrase is certainly not a precise one, and as subject to hand-waving and distortion as any high-falutin' terminology in the world of information technology. Yet it is an excellent choice of words to describe what enterprise IT—and by extension, organizations in general—should be working to achieve.

Approved this February by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF), HTTP/2 is the first major update to HTTP since 1999, when HTTP/1.1 was standardized. Designed with performance in mind, one of the biggest goals of HTTP/2 implementation is to decrease latency while maintaining a high-level compatibility with HTTP/1.1. Though not all testing activities will be impacted by the new protocol, it's important for testers to be aware of any changes moving forward.

Auto-scaling environments, micro-service architectures and globally-distributed teams are just three common examples of why organizations today need automation and interoperability more than ever. But is interoperability something we simply start doing, or does it require a reexamination of our processes? And can we really improve our processes without first making interoperability a requirement for how we choose our tools?

Inside the Missionary Training Center: It takes a village to run what amounts to a small city
Editor's note: This is the second in a three-day series offering a closer look at how the LDS Church trains missionaries before they are sent into the field.
The Provo MTC is a little city of its own, considering the average of 2,000 missionaries who live there, and the nearly 150 full-time staffers, as many as 1,200 part-time employees and some 1,500 volunteers who provide support services.
MTC administrators say upwards of 3,000 people can be onsite at any one time — and that's with the MTC running at half its capacity.
The campus is as self-contained as possible — besides residences and classrooms, the Provo MTC includes a gymnasium/auditorium, a massive kitchen and cafeteria, a health clinic, a bookstore, a laundry, a travel department, a barbershop and so on.
"That's by design — we want the missionaries to have everything they need right here so they don't have to go off-campus," said Spencer K. Christensen, Provo MTC manager of human resources and support services.
The workforce includes some 70 administrators and staffers hired full-time at the center and another 70 full-timers contracted through nearby Brigham Young University, said Richard I. Heaton, Provo MTC director.
Add in as many as 1,200 part-time employees, hired either through the MTC or through BYU.
At the forefront of staffing are the teachers — nearly 900 of them, mostly BYU students, working part time at three hours a day, 20 hours a week.
"We have these amazing, nonprofessionals — (for example) a civil engineering major teaching Estonian," said Provo MTC President Gordon D. Brown. "That's just not happening anywhere else."
A trio of teachers — themselves former missionaries — are assigned to each class of eight to 12 missionaries.
"They help you and take you to the next level," said Sister Diondre Darcy of Tulsa, Okla., who is going to Hong Kong. "People want to help us every step of the way, and their faith in what we're doing really buoys me up."
Elder Mark Bullough of South Jordan, who is on his way to Russia, agreed. "What I love most about the teaching staff is that they've been through what you're going through."
But the Provo MTC staff is more than just teaching and instructors.
In the kitchen, pantry and cafeteria, workers cook, serve and clean up for three meals daily for the missionaries. That means as many as 9,000 meals a day, with missionaries entering the cafeteria in 15-minute shifts and food preparation practically spanning the full 24 hours.
Cafeteria manager Doug Walker reports that during 2010, Provo MTC missionaries consumed 200,400 apples, 163,430 pounds of bananas, 10,893 gallons of ice cream and 64,200 pounds of "easy eggs" — or the equivalent of 684,800 eggs. To say nothing of the countless cases of cold cereal consumed, a favorite morning, noon and night.
Perhaps the second-most visited and beloved on the campus is the mailroom. Longtime mailroom supervisor Heidi Van Woerkhom oversees a staff sorting through two to three huge bins of letters and packages of non-perishables coming daily via the U.S. Postal Service alone, besides items dropped off via other general or MTC-specific delivery services (the MTC does not allow visitors to drop off items themselves).
"That's about half of what it used to be," she said, noting the increased use of email between missionaries and their families. Several long boxes jammed with email printouts arrive daily for distribution — two to three times that arrive on Mondays.

Top Three IT Workplace Issues Prevent CIOs from Sleeping Easy in 2015
Sungard AS study finds CIO and IT professionals worry most about information security, downtime and talent acquisition
Wayne, Pa., Jan. 28, 2015 – What worries chief information officers (CIOs) and IT professionals the most? According to a recent survey commissioned by Sungard® Availability Services™ (Sungard AS) – a leading provider of information availability through managed IT, cloud and recovery services – security, downtime and talent acquisition weigh heaviest on their minds.
Security threats put businesses at risk
Due to the increasing frequency and complexity of cyber-attacks, security ranks highest among IT concerns in the workplace for CIOs; as a result more than half of survey respondents (51%) believe security planning should be the last item to receive budget cuts in 2015.
While external security threats are top of mind for IT professionals, internal threats are often the root cause of security disasters. Nearly two-thirds of the survey respondents cited leaving mobile phones or laptops in vulnerable places as their chief security concern (62%), followed by password sharing (59%). These internal security challenges created by employees, lead 60 percent of respondents to note that in 2015 they would enforce stricter security policies for employees.
The deep concern about security is increasingly warranted. Aside from harming a company's reputation, a security breach can prove costly. A recent study conducted by the Ponemon Institute found that the average cost of a data breach in 2014 exceeded $5.85 million.[1]
Downtime damages reputations
Second to security, downtime is also a leading concern for CIOs. Two-in-five (42%) respondents consider the testing of their disaster recovery plans vital to their organizations and also among the last line items that should be cut from 2015 IT budgets. Not only is downtime expensive, but the damage to an enterprise's reputation far outweighs the monetary costs.
Disaster recovery testing dramatically reduces downtime (by 75%) for enterprises deemed "best-in-class" in disaster recovery and business continuity.[2] In addition, according to the Aberdeen Group, those that adopt strong resiliency plans can expect 90 percent less downtime per event compared to the industry average.
"Today CIOs are more concerned with the resiliency of their organizations and the consequences a disaster can have on an organization's reputation and revenue stream," said Keith Tilley, executive vice president, Global Sales & Customer Services, Sungard AS. "The implications that information security and downtime threats place on a business have evolved and become more complex in the last several years, making it a high priority for CIOs."
Talent acquisition gets overlooked, yet continues to prove essential
The need for top IT talent continues to be a growing challenge for the technology sector in 2015 and 38 percent of respondents noted that CIOs are concerned about talent acquisition. This issue comes in third on the list of top work-related issues for IT professionals.
While this stands as a top-of-mind concern for CIOs, 50 percent of respondents believe talent acquisition and retention does not get the appropriate focus from the business and often gets overlooked. Talent acquisition ranked higher than any other overlooked IT issue in the workplace including data center expansion, shadow IT and others.
"It's clear that information security, downtime avoidance and talent acquisition are of utmost importance for organizations across the board. The proper planning and preparation will allow CIOs and IT professionals to stay ahead of the game in 2015 and ultimately get a proper night's rest," concluded Tilley.
The survey, conducted by SurveyMonkey Audience, reached 276 IT professionals and was completed in December 2014.

Telehouse Enables PLDT to Improve Its Global Connectivity
PLDT Opens Global Point of Presence in London
LONDON – Philippine Long Distance Telephone Company (PLDT), the leading telecommunications provider in the Philippines, has further expanded its global Points of Presence (PoP) with the launch of an additional PoP in the UK through Telehouse Europe, one of the world's largest data center operators. This allows PLDT to offer pan-global connectivity from the Philippines to the United Kingdom. With this deal, signed through PLDT UK, the company can now provide clients with an Ethernet International Private Leased Circuit (E/IPLC) service from the United Kingdom to the rest of the world, as part of its Global Managed Ethernet service offerings.
The PLDT UK PoP has direct connections to Hong Kong and the United States of America, enabling it to achieve optimal latency for its customers around the world. This builds on over 500 domestic Ethernet nodes that it owns in the Philippines and POPs in Singapore, Japan, U.S. and Hong Kong.
"We are very proud to add the UK to our ever growing managed international network," says Jovy Hernandez, PLDT FVP and PLDT ALPHA Enterprise Head. "Our constant drive to deliver world class service to our customers around the globe allows them to focus on what matters the most and allows their customers to do the same."
Michelle Reid, Director of Sales and Marketing at Telehouse adds, "PLDT has made a great decision to expand their E/IPLC into the UK, as the market becomes ever more significant in the global telecommunications infrastructure. With over 535 connectivity providers now in the Telehouse Docklands campus, we look forward to enabling them to maximize the opportunity this expansion represents."
PLDT is the only Philippine Telco to have been a consistent finalist and awardee at the prestigious Metro Ethernet Forum Ethernet Excellence Awards for APAC. The company continues to partner with regional and global providers to expand its coverage and deliver global-class Ethernet services to its customers.
The New Reality of Weather Risk
What do you do when you are responsible for the safety of town, county or state residents and forecasts call for drastic weather conditions? Risk professionals can come under criticism if they are overly cautious, yet under-reacting can mean lives are at stake.
Take the current situation here in New York, New Jersey and Connecticut. Predictions called for one- to three-feet of snow and blizzard conditions over a wide swath of the tri-state area and states of emergency were declared. Governor Andrew Cuomo of New York yesterday called for a full travel ban in 13 counties, beginning at 11:00 p.m. Those breaking the ban were subject to fines of up to $300, he said.
"With forecasts showing a potentially historic blizzard for Long Island, New York City, and parts of the Hudson Valley, we are preparing for the worst and I urge all New Yorkers to do the same – take this storm seriously and put safety first," Gov. Cuomo said.
California Urges Agencies to Adopt Wireless Emergency Alert System
(TNS) — Gov. Jerry Brown's office is urging state emergency and law enforcement agencies to take advantage of a system that uses cellphone towers to pinpoint and send alerts.
Established in 2012 through a collaboration between the Federal Emergency Management Agency, the Federal Communications Commission and the wireless industry, the Wireless Emergency Alerts system is meant to complement existing alert systems.
"The Wireless Emergency Alerts are just one addition," said Lilly Wyatt, an Office of Emergency Services spokesperson. "It's an additional tool that local agencies can use for public messages."
Of the 58 counties in California, only 24 have signed up to send alerts through the system.
How To Spot The Bull In A Chief Information Officer (CIO) Candidate: 5 Quick Tips
By Sal DiFranco
Misrepresentation isn't reserved for entry-level interviewees. Chief Information Officer (CIO) candidates can exaggerate their accomplishments with the best of them. Let's say you and your fellow C-suite executives need to hire a CIO. You know what you want – that picture-perfect ideal CIO candidate. Someone who is current on technology while being business savvy. Someone who takes smart risks when it comes to new technology, but who has insight on when to maintain the systems already in place. Someone who can talk to any segment of the business in their own terms, rather than resorting to technical jargon.
Of course, when interviewing CIO candidates, they will all try to make you believe they are that ideal CIO. It is up to you to identify any bull that get tossed around during the interview process, which is why I've come up with five specific points to watch out for.
Information security: why we should talk about incident response
Information security has become a fixture in the daily headlines, ranging from the latest high-profile data breach; to exotic hacks of USB drives, ICS devices and IOT systems; and new zero-day exploits and attack techniques. While these stories are interesting and help us understand the vulnerabilities and risks that make up the threat landscape, they reflect a frequent bias in the industry towards focusing on the 'cool' exploit and detection side of cyber-defense, rather than the more operational response and mitigation side. One of the results of this focus, as reported in a recent SANS study, is that for over 90 percent of incidents, the time from incident discovery to remediation was one hour or longer.
This appears to be changing, however, as new reports shine a spotlight on incident response as both welcome and essential, and now courts are reinforcing that sentiment. This article by Proofpoint considers the other side of the equation and look at incident response. A comprehensive view of threat management includes people, processes, and tools in a process outlined below.
Top tips for successful social media risk management in the finance sector
Advice from James Leavesley, CEO, CrowdControlHQ.
Social media is no longer the exclusive preserve of the 'Facebook Generation' eager to connect with each other or simply a channel for consumer advertisers. It is fast becoming a valuable multi-faceted communications tool with many industries actively using social media networking sites to promote their products and services and drive commercial success.
Mirroring the trend, the finance industry is also waking up to the power of engaging with customers through social media at a time when its clients are increasingly turning to online resources for information and advice. Last year, consultancy giant Capgemini forecast that social media was on its way to becoming a "bona fide channel for executing transactions" and previously a study by Accenture stated that half of US financial advisers had successfully used social media to convert enquiries into clients. So far, so good so what's the catch?
What Are Your Disaster Recovery Options if Your Data Storage Fails?
The answer to this question depends on how fast you want your data back and how much time and effort you are prepared to spend. If your data is both mission and time critical, then full, frequent backups possibly with mirrored systems for immediate restore or failover may be the only solution. Financial trading organisations, large volume e-commerce sites and hospital emergency wards are examples. Other users who do not want to or cannot go down this route will be faced with more basic options.
Winter Storms and Power Outages
As the blizzard of 2015 starts to hit hard across the Northeast, with several feet of snow, intense cold and high winds expected, utility companies are warning of widespread and potentially lengthy power outages across the region.
In New Jersey, utility companies say it's the high winds, with gusts of up to 65 mph, rather than the accumulation of snow, that are likely to bring down trees or tree limbs and cause outages.
Consolidated Edison inc. which supplies electricity to over 3 million customers in New York City and Westchester county, told the WSJ that the light and fluffy snow expected in this blizzard should limit the number of power outages, but elevated power lines could come down if hit by trees.
Data Gives Federal Agencies Pause on Cloud Adoption
Federal leaders want to like the cloud. They really do.
Then again, they have to — they're under a cloud first mandate. And yet, they're still not gung-ho when it comes to actually pursuing adoption, a recent survey shows.
Every year, MeriTalk surveys federal managers about cloud adoption. In the latest survey of 150 federal executives, nearly one in five say one-quarter of their IT services are fully or partially delivered via the cloud.
For the most part, they're shifting email (50 percent), web hosting (45 percent) and servers/storage (43 percent). They're not moving traditional business applications, custom business apps, disaster recovery ERP or middleware.
And it seems they're pretty happy with that so far. This year, 75 percent said they want to migrate more services to the cloud — except they're worried about retaining control of their data.

Jim Friessen
Jim Friessen died peacefully on May 9, 2014, surrounded by family and friends, the day following a massive stroke.
James (Jim) Friessen was born on August 11, 1923, in Larchwood, Iowa, to parents William and Elsie Friessen. In 1931, the family moved to Sioux Falls on a farm which is now Kuehn Park. He graduated from country grade school, which was located on the same farm. Jim attended Cathedral High.
Each morning before school during his senior year, Jim jumped into his 1941 Ford pick-up and hauled milk for his father and for area farmers. He continued to haul and own milk routes for the next 50 years.
In 1960, Jim and his parents built their new home on Marion Road where they all lived until their deaths. Jim gave loving care to his parents in their declining years. In the mid 1970's he started his landscape business. Working for his brother, Warren, Jim had many home and golf course projects which he finished to perfection with his 420 Ford tractors. He continued running these tractors, grading his own driveway until the day before he died.
Jim loved cars, motorcycles, and boats, owning over 200 new and used, and repaired many of the damaged ones. He also loved birds and animals, feeding whichever came to his door. He had his mother's love for flowers, of which he also had many.
Jim learned to play the accordion from Myron Floren. He also played the keyboard and had played for his sister, Delores, and cousins, three days before his death.
He was preceded in death by his parents; his brother, Donald; and his special friend, Patricia. He is survived by his sister, Delores Gibbs, San Marcos, TX; his brother, Warren (Hilda), Sioux Falls, SD; his sister, Donna (Tom) Cooper, Soldotna, AK; and many nieces and nephews. Memorials may be made to Habitat for Humanity in Jim's name.
Mass of Resurrection will begin 11:00 am Thursday at St. Michael Catholic Church, with interment at St. Michael Catholic Cemetery.
